Chapter 024 Fighting
The shelling just now was very violent. Dongmen Street was hit by five or six shells. The bluestones on the street were blasted into pits. Some houses collapsed, and bricks and rubble were scattered everywhere. The soldiers of the Eighth Battalion were repairing the collapsed buildings.
Clean up the debris that came down and use it to block the street again.
There are no stupid people here, it’s just that their vision limits their intelligence. Now everyone knows that if you put the Japs into Dongmen Street, you can’t give them a place to cover, and the shooting holes made by the shops on both sides of the street are definitely a trap.
A good way.
Therefore, the subjective initiative of these soldiers was stimulated! Various methods were used! For example, in the sandbag fortifications at the city gate cave, a figure-eight gap was rushed into the back city, relying on
The enemy side is still very strong.
In this way, even if the Japanese occupy the sandbag fortifications, they will not be able to use them immediately! They are not tall enough to drive a machine gun while hiding in the east, and there is no place to cover when entering...
This is also human nature. We all know that doing this can deceive the enemy and protect ourselves, so fools don't prepare!
Hu Yizhou followed the directional explosive devices he had arranged to explore one by one. Fortunately, they were specially blocked last night. There was no problem with the explosive devices, but several wires were broken.
There are street lights in Baoshan City, but unfortunately the wires are in the air, but there is no electricity for a long time. Hu Yizhou had someone cut some wires and connect the broken parts. After ensuring that one main and one pair of TV wires were correct,
Then he returned to his artillery position.
It was at this time that the Japanese siege had begun, with the sound of cannons and gunshots, and the wails of injured people could be heard far away.
Hu Yizhou couldn't help in the city gate attack and defense battle, so he led Fang Hao and the others back to the artillery position that was lucky enough not to be affected by the shells.
"Fang Hao, lead the little girl up to the bell tower! Sun Dali, you and Sun Xiaobao are on guard at the private houses to the north of the bell tower! The rest of us are guarding here!"
"yes!"
After arranging his subordinates, Hu Yizhou followed Fang Hao to the bell tower. Holding a telescope and looking at the Japanese army attacking outside the city, Hu Yizhou couldn't put it down for a long time: "Whether we can succeed or not depends on today!"
He was right. Reinforcements from Baldy's side will arrive today. It is said that there is a battalion! In the past few days, the two Japanese dispatched military divisions are also completing two landing sites, one in the south and one in the north. The thoughts of the old Japanese soldier Iwane Matsui
That is to connect the front line on the Songhu side from north to south, and capture Wusong Fort, Lion Forest Fortress and other places.
The 68th Regiment is actually building a new landing site, located on the riverside to the north of Baoshan City. Ten miles to the south of Baoshan City is the Wusong Fort, and ten miles to the west is the Lion Forest Fortress. Defend Baoshan, and history will follow.
If we follow the original trajectory and can't keep it...who knows where it will deviate?
Although Hu Yizhou doesn't want to see what is going to happen in the future, he is powerless! Unless he... alas... if he talks too much, it will be a 404...
At the city gate, the eighth battalion commander was still insisting on command, and beside him was a platoon of soldiers; the garrison in the city gate hole became Li Dacheng's third company.
"Fight! Fight for me! Don't cherish the bullets! What about you! If you change it to a crooked handle and a 38-inch cover, you won't be able to shoot? Don't look up! Shoot!" The eighth battalion commander was no longer there at this time.
I lost my calmness and calmness yesterday.
Outside the city is the first brigade of the 68th Regiment, whose captain is Kaneda Nagao. In order to capture Baoshan, Matsui Iwane, an old devil, transferred more than 20 tanks from the tank regiment to the 68th Regiment.
After the busy work yesterday afternoon and this morning, the Japanese soldiers finally paved a road for the chariot to go directly to Baoshan City. However, when the chariot reached the stone bridge of the moat, the Eighth Battalion Commander ordered the sound of the bell that had been buried in the stone for a long time.
Explosives on the bridge. After a loud bang, the stone wall collapsed and a small bean bag fell into the moat.
This also bought time for Hu Yizhou's people who were checking the lines in the city to repair the barricades, but now, the first brigade of the Japs couldn't stop attacking as if they were drugged.
Even without the support of tanks, they still crossed the moat and rushed towards the city gate hole dozens of meters away under the cover of heavy machine guns and infantry artillery.
"Swish, swish, swish..." The 7.7mm bullets of the 92nd Heavy Duty kept flying over the head. Occasionally, an unlucky soldier would be bitten by the bullets. A bullet from a heavy machine gun would be fatal if it hit the torso, and it would kill if it hit the arm.
Break the arm.
Seeing this full formation that had already lost more than ten people in battle, the Eighth Battalion Commander's heart was bleeding. These were the last elites! They were all soldiers from the same town brought over from their hometown!
"Battal Commander..." The messenger ran up: "Report to the commander, the preparations in the city have been completed!"
"Okay! Very good! It's 8:05 in the morning. Third squad leader, you stay here for ten minutes! Then choose the opportunity to retreat! Communications Corpsman, tell Li Dacheng to retreat in eight minutes. You must cut off the retreat!"
"yes!"
The eighth battalion commander quickly led his people down the tower, followed the stairs into the city, and soon came to the barricade on the first north-south street, which was the first line of resistance against the Japanese in progress.
Hu Yizhou saw clearly in the telescope and saw the Eighth Battalion Commander descending the city wall. He handed the telescope to Fang Hao and also descended from the bell tower.
In the yard, Hu Yizhou called several of his men aside: "Du Wei, you take Li Blind and Wang Guaizi to guard the roof of this yard! Master Xu is helping to resist the artillery shells. Zhang Ze, you are responsible for loading the artillery shells!"
"yes!"
At the gate of the city, the soldier who had been watching the time called out to Li Dacheng: "Company Commander! It's time!"
Li Dacheng took the alarm clock and looked at it: "A few shots to fill up a magazine, three bullets for the rifle, and retreat! Hurry up! Xiao Shunzi, you are responsible for burying a few grenades to trap the Japanese!"
"yes!"
"Pa... bang... da da da..." After a burst of fierce gunfire, the soldiers of the third company took away the ammunition from the dead brothers, helped or carried the wounded, and quickly
Disappeared at the city gate.
After the soldiers from the third company got in through the door of a nearby shop, a few soldiers behind closed the door and blocked it tightly with sandbags, earth and rocks that had been prepared long ago. There was no way to get in! Not only that
No way, even the windows have been blocked long ago!
"Fight! Maximum firepower output! Fight for me!" Just as the Sanlian retreated, the fifth squad on the city wall began the final crazy firepower output. They fired all the 6.5mm bullets that they had been reluctant to use before.
After two minutes, the bullets are gone.
"Retreat! Take these guns back to the warehouse! Then take out our old rifles! Let's go!"
Outside the city, Captain Kaneda Nagao of the First Battalion looked at the suddenly silent Baoshan City and was unable to make an accurate judgment for a moment.
"Could it be that the Chinese are out of ammunition?"
Chapter completed!
