Authenticity is easy to say, but somewhat difficult to do.

The difficulty mainly lies in two aspects.

First, the sound of digging tunnels may be heard by the Japs. After the Japs mastered the direction of the tunnels, they directly blasted near the tunnels to collapse the tunnels.

Second, the direction of digging the tunnel is not very accurate, which will affect the blasting effect on the city wall or even be ineffective.

The first problem is easy to solve. You only need to use mortars or [-]-gun cannons every time you dig tunnels. The sound of guns and cannons can cover up the sound and vibration of tunnel digging.

It is said that the Japanese used the ancient Chinese method to prevent the Eighth Route Army from digging tunnels to attack the city: burying several large tanks underground and sending people to take turns guarding them 24 hours a day.

But this method was used by the Japanese to prevent the Eighth Route Army from attacking the artillery towers.

Due to insufficient ammunition and artillery shells, the previous Eighth Route Army often used the method of digging tunnels to lead to a blockhouse to launch sneak attacks when attacking a certain blockhouse.

Wang Xuexin was not sure whether the Japanese in Xinjing used this method.

However, even if this method is used, it will not work under the cover of the artillery fire of the Eighth Route Army.

The second point once made it difficult for the frontline soldiers.

Li Yunlong sent a telegram to the headquarters to report to Wang Xuexin: "Commander, the city wall of Xinjing is only a little over three meters. If our tunnel is a little off, the location of the explosion will be wrong!"

Wang Xuexin understood what Li Yunlong meant.

The city wall was in front of the Eighth Route Army, and the devils guarded the Eighth Route Army with guns on it, unable to go forward to survey, and the tunnel was invisible under the soil layer, and sometimes had to turn to avoid rocks... How can we determine whether the tunnel is Dig right under the city wall and install explosives?
If this position is wrong, then a blank cannon will be fired and the city wall will still be in front of him, and Wang Xuexin's plan of attacking in a roundabout way will not work.

But Wang Xuexin has certainly considered this issue, and he only replied with one word: "Laser rangefinder!"

Li Yunlong was stunned for a moment, and then he immediately reacted. He slapped his head and cursed: "Damn it, why did I forget this thing? I always thought that this thing was for tanks, why didn't I think of returning it?" It can be used to dig tunnels!”

So the second problem is perfectly solved.

The Eighth Route Army's laser rangefinder was relatively crudely made, with an error of about 100 meters at a distance of 0.5 meters.

But even so, it is much more accurate than observing and measuring with the human eye, not to mention that multiple measurements can be used to reduce errors.

What's more important is that in a tunnel that is more than 300 meters long, even if the error is more than one meter, it is still within the allowable range.

Therefore, while surrounding Xinjing, the Eighth Route Army dug a total of three tunnels leading to the Japanese city wall defense line.

One of these three tunnels leads to the foot of the south city, one leads to the foot of the north city, and the other leads directly to the city gate.

The reason for going straight to the city gate is because the city gate is the strongest location. The Japanese built bunkers and fortifications inside it and even set up anti-aircraft machine guns to cover the flanking walls with flat fire.

If the city gates were not blown down, the Eighth Route Army would have to pay a considerable price to rush into the city even if they blew up the city walls.

The siege started at six in the morning.

At this time, the sky was not completely bright, and the slightly white sky highlighted the back of the city wall. This made it easy for the Eighth Route Army to observe the situation of the city wall, but the Japanese could not see the Eighth Route Army soldiers lurking in front of the city wall.With Wang Xuexin's order, tens of thousands of artillery fire were fired. Artillery from all sides were blasting at the Japanese defense line. There were even rocket launchers that made a strange "whooshing" roar and turned the Japanese defense line into a sea of ​​flames.

The reason why so much ammunition was spent was actually to cover the blasting of the city wall... If there were no other sounds but a few loud noises from the city wall, the devils would immediately find out that there was something wrong with the city wall.

But now it was dark and there were gunfire everywhere, and the muffled sound from the city wall was almost indistinguishable from the mix.

More importantly, before detonating the city wall, the Eighth Route Army deliberately fired a smoke bomb at the city wall to block the sight of the Japanese.

Then there were only a few muffled "boom" sounds, and the city wall fell apart in the smoke.

The Eighth Route Army, which had been lurking in front of the city wall for a long time, shouted and rushed up along the ruins of the city wall with bayonets drawn.

Every time the Eighth Route Army attacked, they consciously divided themselves into two parts:
One part seizes the commanding heights of the city wall to provide cover for friendly forces, while the other part quickly breaks into the city through the gap and penetrates towards the designated position.

At this time, the devils didn't even know that the city wall had collapsed and the Eighth Route Army had already entered the city. They didn't panic and organize defense until the Eighth Route Army rushed in front of them.

But it was too late to realize at this time, a bayonet was ruthlessly pierced into the devil's chest, followed by a burst of rifles that fired rows of bullets at the point of fire to suppress the devil, and soon there were soldiers Dash forward and throw the grenade into its position...

After the Eighth Route Army rushed into the city, they did not drive straight in, but turned a corner to attack the Japanese's northern and southern defense lines from the rear.

These Japanese soldiers were attracted by the frontal attack of the Eighth Route Army. They did not expect that the Eighth Route Army would suddenly appear behind them, so the defense line collapsed at the first touch.

Only 7 minutes later, Zhang Zongping reported to Wang Xuexin: "Commander, our army successfully broke through the north and south defense lines of Xinjing, and the mechanized troops have entered the city!"

Wang Xuexin just said "hmm".

The victory of the battle was already within his expectation. The battle plan was already half successful when the tunnel was dug without being discovered by the Japanese.

Soon Zhang Zongping reported again: "Some militiamen surrendered..."

Wang Xuexin replied without thinking: "We won't accept prisoners!"

"Yes!" Zhang Zongping immediately conveyed the order: "No prisoners will be accepted!"

According to the Japanese method of "pulling one gang to fight another", most of the militia members are Japanese or Bangzi immigrants. Even if there are puppet soldiers among them, they must have participated in the massacre of Chinese people... This is called "by the Japanese" Show loyalty."

If they don't participate in the massacre, they have different intentions, and they won't even be able to pass the devil's test.

This behavior seemed to understand that they had to do it as a last resort.

But there is no such good thing in this world: you can choose to surrender and write off your guilt by pointing your gun at the unarmed Chinese people in order to survive!

And Wang Xuexin believes that the headquarters also supports this approach: the policy of preferential treatment of prisoners only targets those troops who did not participate in the massacre!
When the new Beijing defense line was completely breached and street fighting began, Wang Xuexin sent three more regiments up.

These three regiments are all militia regiments, and they are militiamen recruited nearby. Many of them have relatives in Xinjing.

Wang Xuexin's intention of putting them in was very obvious: to avenge someone with a grudge!
