Age of Rebirth

Chapter [-] Street Fighting

The soldiers crawled, leaped forward, cleverly used various concealed objects, and soon approached the Japanese fortress. As long as they charged another ten meters, they would be done. My knife company was not given for nothing!

Suddenly, all the hidden shooting holes in the building came back to life, and they were all heavy machine guns, dense bullets, covering a row of soldiers like raindrops. In an instant, more than 30 soldiers were all down in a pool of blood. The bodies of some soldiers were beaten to pieces by the Japanese heavy machine guns. The cluster grenades on the soldiers were detonated. With a loud noise, the young bodies of the soldiers turned into a wisp of blue smoke over North China.

The sudden change stunned the commander of the first company. The devil still has this skill. Without the slightest hesitation, he immediately led the second platoon to carry out the second attack. The result was the same. Under the intensive crossfire of the Japanese army, the second platoon More than 30 fighters lined up, and less than ten came back alive.

On the wide road, in the dim light of the flames of war, the corpses of the soldiers, under the frenzied shooting of the Japanese machine guns, spattered with blood and convulsed violently, as if they were living beings being tortured. [

The first company commander was dragged back by two wounded soldiers. He was shot by four machine guns, one of which was shot through the heart. The hygienist desperately stopped the bleeding of his company commander. The snow-white gauze couldn't stop the gushing blood , the company commander pointed to the pocket of the military uniform with difficulty, his eyes quickly dimmed, and a young life disappeared.

The deputy company commander took out a photo from his blood-stained pocket. One corner was soaked in blood. The photo showed a kind old mother with gray hair, telling the vicissitudes of time. Jiatun."

The deputy company commander wiped away his tears, knowing that it was the company commander's request, he stuffed the photo into the hand of the health worker, and told him: "When you beat the little devil away, go to the company commander's house and take a look for us all, remember Already?" The hygienist nodded with tears in her eyes.

The deputy company commander picked up a bundle of cluster grenades, and stared at the Japanese stronghold that was spewing flames with his eyes on fire. It was these damned little devils who took the lives of more than 60 people in our company. The company commander who he regarded as his brother, Also died.

He was about to rush out from behind the concealment, but was almost dragged back by a pair of big hands. Turning around, it turned out that the battalion commander came up with the second company and the third company.

Needless to say, the numerous corpses of the soldiers and the blazing tongues of the devil's stronghold speaks for itself. The battalion commander's face is ashen, and his heart is in sharp pain like a knife. This is his most elite company, fighting outside Tianjin without a hair loss. Now, Most of it was destroyed here.

He also saw the problem, a hard attack would definitely not work, the battalion commander ordered the machine gun company to bring up the mortars, even if they bombed, he would also smash the devil's stronghold to me!

Twelve mortars, a burst of artillery, and the sandbag fortress of the Japanese army collapsed amidst the sound of explosions, and the remaining limbs and arms of the Japanese army were flying all over the sky.

However, the buildings on both sides were not damaged at all. The mortars only blasted some shallow pits on the outer walls of the buildings, and did not damage the main building of the buildings. The Japanese army's firepower was still so dense and crazy.

The crossfire of the buildings on both sides was like the upper and lower jaws of a poisonous snake, tightly stuck on the road ahead of the Northeast Advance Second Brigade and Battalion. In the intercom, there was a voice from the head of the regiment asking about the progress. After receiving the report, one The head of the regiment was silent. All the attacking troops of his regiment encountered similar situations. The troops were blocked from advancing and suffered heavy casualties.

The attacking troops were blocked, and there was a fierce street battle with the Japanese army. Casualties were quickly reported to Liu Tiehan, the commander of the attacking corps. He immediately understood that the Japanese commander in Tianjin had adjusted his tactics and wanted to take advantage of the complex terrain in the urban area. Come to a melee with us, consume a lot of our troops, delay time, and wait for reinforcements.

He immediately changed his deployment, and the entire artillery unit immediately marched into the urban area. According to the standard of two large-caliber artillery pieces for each attacking arrow, when the Japanese army resisted with buildings, they immediately bombarded them. The particularly strong fortifications were equipped with four to six Cannon.

At this time, four hours have passed since the time of launching the general offensive, and Liu Tiehan is also anxious. The time set by the division commander has passed a little half, and the troops are still gnawing at the main points held by the Japanese army. Winning Tianjin in an hour is nothing but empty talk, so he issued a kill order, bomb it!

The artillery units staying at the outskirts of Tianjin were originally prepared for the Japanese counterattack troops. According to Liu Tiehan's prediction, the Japanese troops in the urban area will definitely launch a fierce counterattack after the troops invade the urban area.

This is the best way, the troops pretend to retreat, attract the Japanese counterattack troops to the periphery, and use their superior firepower to destroy them. As a senior general, he knows the difficulty of fighting in urban streets.

This Japanese commander is not simple, is he not fooled?If the Japanese army didn't come out, my cannons would enter the city and fight a street battle with the cannons.

Soon, the artillery unit marched into the urban area, advancing northeast to the attack target of the second brigade, regiment and battalion, and six large-caliber artillery came. The soldiers cheered and worked together to place the artillery. obvious.

The six cannons were divided into two groups and fired at close range. This time, the power of the mortar was shown. The solid building, which the mortar could not help but was hit by the large-caliber artillery, was filled with smoke and dust, and the flames were shining. Several corpses of Japanese soldiers were thrown out.

The firepower points of the Japanese army, which were so rampant just now, became dumb, and stopped shooting one after another, for fear of becoming the target of the next shelling. The artillerymen didn't care about this. They received an order to bombard any Japanese strongholds that resisted. , that is to say, if the two dozen-story buildings are not smashed into broken bricks, the task will not be completed. [

In the building on the left, a white flag suddenly protruded, which was particularly conspicuous in the flash of artillery fire. The devils couldn't hold back their strength and surrendered. The soldiers of the first battalion cheered, the artillery was still the best!

More than 150 soldiers from the second company rushed out of the hidden bunker, ready to rush into the building to capture prisoners, but the soldiers of the special operations unit who were the guides had no time to stop them. He is a veteran of the independent division. When he was in the northeast, he fought bloody battles with devils Knowing the virtue of the little devil, he can use any crooked tricks.

Just playing the white flag, but not throwing the gun out, there is a fraud, he shouted: "Come back quickly, the devil is a fake surrender!" As soon as the voice fell, the silent building suddenly shot dense bullets. More than 100 people fell down, and the remaining soldiers, seeing that the situation was not good, fell down on the spot, and a dozen people were still hit by the dense rain.

A well-organized company lost more than half of it in an instant because of the despicableness of the Japanese army. The first battalion commander was stunned. He had never seen such a despicable soldier. His own soldiers were standing on the blocked road. Suffering from the crazy shooting of the Japanese army.

The silent cannon roared again. This time it was a concentrated artillery attack. Two cannons aimed at the first floor and fired continuously. One cannon covered the second company's withdrawal. Under the cover of the artillery fire, more than 50 remaining soldiers of the second company The fighters, all wounded, managed to retreat to hidden bunkers.

A battalion commander wanted to cry. His battalion was crippled right in front of these two buildings. He suddenly became furious, stripped off his arms, and loaded boxes of cannons in front of the artillery, shouting nonstop. , Blast hard, kill these bummed only sons.

The artillerymen were also irritated by the devil's despicableness, and turned their anger into cannons. Every time the firing hand pulled the bolt, they would roar. The two buildings, under the fierce shelling, were ablaze. crumbling.

From the doors of the buildings on both sides, white flags were stretched out again, like dogs wagging their tails, and light and heavy machine guns and rifles were thrown out one after another. This time, the devil really couldn't bear it.

A battalion commander yelled: "Keep fighting. If you say it, I will go to the superior to get the punishment. These are not human beings, but animals!" , Straight into the sky.

According to statistics after cleaning the battlefield, in these two buildings, there were two squadrons of Japanese soldiers. Except for those who were killed by the bombardment, the rest were buried in the place where they did their despicable deeds, which is also the price they should pay.

Similar situations have been staged in different attack directions. Since then, the soldiers of the various units of the Northeast Advancement Command have understood the true meaning of the independent division and veteran troops, not keeping Japanese prisoners. These are not people, but Animals, you can only treat them the way you treat animals!

It's just that this kind of understanding was bought at the price of blood. Many good brothers and comrades-in-arms poured out their kind wishes, which was enough to make the soldiers unforgettable and unforgettable for a lifetime, and they fully practiced it.

With the help of artillery and clearing out the points, the advancing speed of the attacking troops was greatly accelerated. In Tianjin, the defensive area of ​​the Japanese army gradually shrank and was compressed towards the center. , It was just a stubborn resistance. Even if their Amaterasu and the emperor came in person, they could not save the lives of more than 6 Japanese soldiers.

The street fighting in Tianjin was in full swing. Tang Qiuli, who was waiting in the Langfang area at the junction of Beijing and Tianjin, had his neck stretched out. It was a boring time to wait. Tianjin was fighting lively, and the attack had been going on for more than four hours. Is there any movement?The Japanese reinforcements from Beiping have not been seen for a long time. What the hell is Kiyoshi Kazuki doing?

Not only him, but all the troops involved in blocking and fighting for aid have this idea. Except for the more than 29 troops of the 4th Army, the rest are the number one brigade of the Independent Division. Here, there can only be one word "wait".

Listening to the sound of gunfire in the direction of Tianjin behind me, my heart was itchy like a cat scratching. I don't know what the commander was thinking, leaving the main force unused, and ran here to be bitten by mosquitoes, and looked back at the direction of Tianjin Looking at the pitch-black, dead wilderness in front of my eyes, I feel depressed.

The outpost reported that the Japanese army in Beiping was divided into two groups, passing through Langfang and Hexiwu, and marching towards Tianjin. The forward had reached Fengheying and Chaichangtun, with a force of about 10, equipped with a large number of tanks and armored vehicles.
