Chapter 025 Street Fighting Devils Are Very Experienced
Before the Japanese invaded China, they once drew a large-scale map of China. This map accurately reached every alley and where is the location of every well in the alley.
As the gateway to Songhu, Baoshan City is naturally one of the key goals that the Japanese are focusing on. Therefore, Nagao Kaneda has an accurate Baoshan City map in his hand.
But this is not what Kaneda Nagao is concerned about now. What he cares about is: Is this Baoshan City, which suddenly disappeared, a Chinese person has played with some empty city plan for him?
What's wrong? When the Japanese were studying China's topographic maps, they also studied China's historical and cultural allusions. In fact, what they did later, including slaughtering the people, was something that someone had done in history before the Rabbit Kingdom...
"This is not an empty city plan, nor is it without bullets! The Chinese are trying to fight with us!" Nagao Kaneda made an accurate judgment.
"Order: The third squadron bites the Chinese defenders, and then takes the city gate and waits for an opportunity to attack! Order: The engineer team immediately sets up a simple bridge! Order: First, the second squadron immediately crosses the moat and builds an offensive position based on the moat! Order: Send a report to the corps leader, saying that the Chinese army retreats to the city, and our troops are ready to engage in street battles with the Chinese defenders!"
"Hayi!" The messenger went to convey the order.
"Ba, bha... Ce Ce Ce..." Kaneda Nagao gave an order here, and the third squadron responsible for the main attack did not have the intention to wait for the order.
In fact, when the third company evacuated the city gate cave, they began to press all up. Jiuting tilted hand shot at the city gate cave and the city gate tower together, trying to cover the infantry to rush into the city gate!
However, the Japanese soldiers who rushed over were blocked by the Third Squad on the city tower. Not only did the Japanese guns and ammunition be used here, but they also had enough grenades! The successive German long-handled grenades effectively blocked the Japanese's attack!
However, when all three squads were evacuated, the Japanese in this squadron entered the cave in the city gate.
In the cave in the city gate, a small team of the Japanese rushed to the edge of the Sanbag fortifications in the Third Company. However, the Sanbag fortifications was a bit high, 1.4 meters tall. The Japanese were less than one and a half meters tall on average, and they could only raise their feet and reveal their eyes.
This is impossible to fly a machine gun!
So the Japanese bypassed the sandbag and entered the sandbag fortification!
Not to mention, there are two layers of sandbags in the fortification. Although they are still very high, it would be better to put on another layer! But... why is it a large opening facing the city?
"beat!"
Just when the Japanese soldiers tried to move sandbags and change the fortification, they had been waiting in the city impatiently, and the company commander commanded more than a dozen of his subordinates and opened fire.
"Play...da da da...bang bang..."
There were not many people here in the company, but the firepower was very strong! Two Czech and one Min-24 were finally able to spit out bullets! Of course, during this period, the bullets made by several big-headed soldiers also increased the firepower density by a little.
So, the Japanese who were moving sandbags in the sandbag fortifications were beaten into sieves.
This is not how good the shooting skills are in the whole line, but the probability of hitting is too high. A straight street with no shelter in the middle, and the distance of about 200 meters is still quite high for these veterans.
"Baga!" The third squadron leader who had just arrived at the cave in the city gate was almost blown up by the bullets coming in front. His hat was knocked off, and he was so angry that he cursed!
At this time, I have to say that being short is also beneficial! If he grows taller, the bullet just now will kill him.
"Move sandbags and establish machine gun positions!" The squadron leader was not for nothing. He ordered the Japanese soldiers hiding behind the sandbag fortifications to move sandbags and establish machine gun fortifications.
"Fight and fight! Don't stop! If you can hit one more, you will be one!" The company commander directed the machine gunners to shoot, and he also picked up Hanyang to shoot continuously. This is a good time to fight the Japanese, and it is a pity to miss it.
After more than ten minutes of firefighting, after the Japanese suffered more than 20 casualties, they finally built sandbag fortifications facing the city at the entrance of the city gate, which was the first step to seize the city.
"Girl Colonel, the chariot troops cannot cross the bridge, the simple wooden bridge cannot withstand the weight of the chariot!" At this time, the captain of the engineer squad said to Kaneda Nagao in embarrassment.
"Yaxi, just use a simple wooden bridge! Attacking a county town, you can't use a chariot to go in for street fighting! You just need to let heavy machine guns and infantry cannons go over!" said Nagao Kaneda.
"Hayi!" The engineer team went to build a bridge.
The Japanese had already piled up a bunker more than a half meters high with sandbags on the fortifications in the city gate, and all nine crooked handles were placed on it and opened fire into the city. For a moment, the Japanese machine guns kept firing.
"Swoosh swish swish swish..." Bullets kept flying over the barricade facing Dongmen Street, which made the soldiers inside dare not appear.
"Transfer the position! Quickly, transfer the position! Everyone goes to the No. 2 position!" Faced with such a situation, the first company commander who had just taken office decisively stopped his meaningless counterattack, and instead allowed the machine gun to transfer the position, leaving only three soldiers guarding the barricade.
"You three are here! If you can counterattack, counterattack; if you can't counterattack, shoot blindly from these shooting holes! Pay attention to protecting yourself! As soon as you hear the Japanese 92 resounding, transfer the position immediately!" After the commander gave the order, he moved to another position on the side of the street.
The three soldiers were very obedient and stuffed the muzzle into the small shooting hole that was just put into the barrel without raising their heads. Occasionally, they would fire a few shots in the direction of the city gate, indicating that we are still here! As for whether to fight or not, they would ignore it! The Japanese had to keep suppressing it with machine guns, and we had no choice! Anyway, the Japanese's bullets were not ours!
After half an hour of stalemate, the Japanese engineers used simple wooden bars and wooden boards to connect the stone bridge on the moat to a section of the bridge deck. In this way, the Japanese 92 heavy machine guns and 92 infantry cannons were able to cross the river!
"Gagaha..." Jiu Er's hoarse and unpleasant gunshots were particularly harsh.
When three soldiers who were still guarding the barricade heard the gunshot, they immediately rolled and crawled away from the barricade and ran towards the houses on both sides of the street.
"Boom..." Across about two hundred meters, the infantry cannons built in the cave in the city gate accurately hit the barricade.
"Dadays, you are the first one! I'm lucky I ran fast enough!" A soldier looked at the collapsed barricade in fear and scolded his mother.
"Yaxi! Order the machine gun squadron to suppress the opponent's firepower and order the first and second squadrons to attack and advance! Pay attention to the houses and roofs on both sides of the street!" Captain Nagao of Kinda, who had arrived at the moat, ordered.
"Shajiji...haha...cececece..." Under the cover of the Nine Second Hundred and Waibazi, the two teams of Japanese soldiers began to attack and advance.
Chapter completed!
