In fierce fighting until evening, the commandos had repelled sixteen Japanese attacks.
Because the streets were too narrow, large troops could not deploy. Therefore, the Japanese army could not devote more than one squad to each attack. If more troops were deployed, they would have to charge in a dense formation. In the face of machine gun fire, the dense formation was basically
The only outcome would be to be kidnapped, just like the Gui Army death squads on the Songhu battlefield.
The Japanese bombers in the sky came one after another, but in the end they could only watch on the sidelines.
There are no precision-guided bombs in this era, let alone satellite positioning systems. If it is in the wild, veteran Japanese pilots can still throw bombs on the enemy's head based on experience. But in densely built urban neighborhoods, veteran pilots with rich flying experience can
The pilot also has to be blinded. He can't tell the difference between friend and foe. How can he drop a bomb?
After sixteen attacks, the Japanese army had left more than two hundred corpses on the battlefield.
The teaching brigade also suffered more than ninety casualties, including sixteen Huangpu officer cadets.
War has always been cruel, and street fighting is especially cruel. Bullets don’t have eyes, and they will never fly around just because you are an officer cadet who graduated from a military academy! Of course, if Chu Zhongtian hadn’t deliberately protected the cadets, the casualties among the officer cadets would have been huge.
There are many, and it is possible that they will all die in battle. After all, they are just a group of new recruits.
"Brothers, cheer up!" Chu Zhongtian took out the last dozen or so coffin nails from the "bullet bag" and arranged them neatly on the broken wall in front of him, then turned back and shouted
, "Before dark, the Japanese will definitely launch one last attack, and the intensity of this attack will be greater than any previous one!"
Chu Zhongtian didn't need to remind him, the veterans of the teaching brigade were already checking the ammunition.
Chu Zhongtian's words are actually reminding Yang Donglin and other officer cadets to be more vigilant. Especially because it is getting dark, they cannot take it for granted that the Japanese army will stop attacking and then relax their vigilance. If they really want to relax their vigilance at this juncture, they will definitely
Paying the price in blood may even cost your life.
"Brother Zhongtian, how many people do you think the Japs will come this time?"
Wang Zanchen came to Chu Zhongtian with a box of cannons and fought side by side for most of the day. The two had become brothers.
"At least one squadron, and the firepower will be significantly enhanced!" Chu Zhongtian said without hesitation, "Generally, the Japanese infantry squadron only has six light machine guns and six grenades, but this time, the Japanese squadron will definitely be equipped with more than ten light machine guns.
Second, the grenade will probably not be used anymore. In street fighting terrain, the grenade is not as effective as a grenade."
"That's true." Wang Zanchen said with deep understanding, "In street fighting, it is indeed not as effective as grenades."
As soon as he finished speaking, Li Chusheng next to the two people suddenly said: "Captain, the Japanese have begun to attack!"
When Chu Zhongtian and Wang Zanchen looked up anxiously, they saw the warning sentry on the roof of the house in front of them gesturing fiercely towards them.
Li Chusheng translated while saying: "About 150 infantrymen...sixteen light machine guns...two heavy machine guns...fuck, and two iron bastards. It seems that the little devil is really anxious and has shaken off all his wealth!"
"
Chu Zhongtian's face changed slightly, and he immediately turned around and ordered: "Sign up immediately and request artillery support!"
Ever since the Baoshan Division had combat defense artillery, Yue Weihan no longer encouraged officers and soldiers to hold explosive packs to blow up tanks. After all, veterans are the core combat power of an army. Although equipment and ammunition are precious, they will never be as good as
Veterans are precious. As long as they can get their life back, how many rounds of artillery shells is expended?
Soon, a huge engine roar came from the front, and even the ground began to shake.
Yang Donglin and other officers and students suddenly became nervous. This was their first time facing a Japanese tank. They quickly pulled the bolt of the rifle to load the bullet, and then eagerly put the rifle on the broken wall. However, the veterans of the teaching brigade were still there.
Leisurely smoking "imported Oriental cigarettes" collected from the corpses of Japanese soldiers.
After having had enough of smoking, the veterans of the teaching brigade slowly entered the position.
At this time, the artillery also arrived, along with two 37mm anti-tank guns.
Suddenly, two Japanese Type 95 light tanks crashed into the broken wall and rushed onto the main street. Almost at the same time as they hit the wall, the 37mm main guns of the two light tanks fired at the same time, and only two roars were heard.
There was a loud noise, and the two broken walls on the teaching brigade's position collapsed immediately. The two veterans were buried under the rubble before they could escape.
The next moment, the front-mounted machine guns of the two tanks opened fire at the same time, and the dense machine gun bullets immediately made the position of the teaching brigade fly into dust.
Without waiting for Chu Zhongtian's order, several officers and students opened fire.
Facing such a big iron guy, the officers and cadets were obviously a little panicked.
The two Japanese tanks that were covering first were suddenly rattled by rifle bullets, but the Japanese infantry following them did not suffer any damage. The front-mounted machine guns of the Japanese tanks quickly adjusted their firing angles to lock on the one who had just fired.
The two officers and students, and soon the turret slowly rotated, aiming at the broken wall where the two officers and students were hiding, and fired two cannons.
The 37mm caliber armor-piercing blast effortlessly penetrated an earth wall less than thirty centimeters thick.
Accompanied by two loud bangs, two huge clouds of smoke and dust suddenly rose from the teaching brigade position, and the two officers and students who had just fired without authorization were buried alive.
Chu Zhongtian looked indifferent and did not give any orders to save anyone.
The little devil's tank is waiting for the teaching brigade to rescue people. No matter who is sent, it is impossible to break through the firepower of the Japanese tank's front machine gun and 37mm main gun. On the battlefield, no one's life is more valuable than others.
Life is more valuable. Chu Zhongtian will never let more veterans die in vain just to save two officers and students!
Be patient, grit your teeth and be patient!
Two combat artillery pieces have been laid in ambush in civilian houses on the street, waiting for the Japanese tanks to enter the firing range!
After showing off their power for a few minutes, the Japanese tank finally moved and advanced about fifty meters forward, finally entering the firing range of the anti-Japanese anti-aircraft guns. Accompanied by two loud bangs, the turret of the Japanese tank suddenly burst into flames.
There was thick smoke. Japan is a resource-poor country, so their cars, tanks and even airplanes are all thin-skinned and big-filled!
The armor-piercing explosive shells of the 37mm anti-tank gun tore through the thin armor of the Japanese tanks like pieces of paper.
As soon as the Japanese tank was destroyed, Chu Zhongtian immediately raised the cleansing box and fired a shot above his head. In a moment, the light and heavy machine guns on the position rang out, and the intensive machine gun firepower instantly intertwined into a big picture of death.
Net, the Japanese infantry who lost the cover of the tanks suddenly fell down in pieces.
During the fierce battle, Chang Lao led Hu Zi to the front line.
"Little devil, try this grandpa!" Father Chang suddenly threw out a lump.
It was a clay bomb made of black powder. Although Chang was over sixty years old, his arm strength was quite good. He threw it fifty meters away, and his accuracy was excellent, landing exactly in the teens.
A loud bang was heard among the two Japanese soldiers. The two Japanese soldiers at the center of the explosion were immediately knocked to the ground, but they quickly got up again.
Chu Zhongtian next to him just screamed in his heart that it was a pity, but the dozen Japanese soldiers suddenly bent down and started coughing violently. Although they were fifty or sixty meters away, Chu Zhongtian could still clearly see
I saw the tragic appearance of the dozen or so Japanese soldiers with tears and runny noses running down their faces.
"This is..." Chu Zhongtian said sternly, "What's going on?"
"Nothing." Father Chang raised his eyebrows proudly and said, "Just mixed some chili powder into the gunpowder!"
"Chili noodles!?" Chu Zhongtian's eyes suddenly lit up when he heard this, and he turned around and shouted, "Li Chusheng, you go back immediately and take people to the suburbs of the city to collect chili noodles in each village. The more the better! Urgent need!"
"
Chu Zhongtian really didn’t expect that chili noodles have such wonderful effects!
If you put the collected chili powder in a sock, and then wrap it in a grenade or grenade and throw it out, it will definitely cause unimaginable damage to the Japanese army! Although this thing is not a real chemical weapon, once it is stained, it will cause short-term damage to the Japanese army.
Within that time, even the iron-clad King Kong will lose its combat effectiveness!
Late at night, the county town was pacified.
Fierce gunfire was already close at hand, and the headquarters of the Japanese 80th Regiment had fallen into chaos.
Vice Captain Kamakura Shigekura walked into the war room quickly. First he stood upright and saluted Suzuki Kenji. Then he said angrily: "Your Excellency, Colonel, you are despicable. The China Army is so despicable. They blatantly violated international conventions and treated Da*
**The Imperial Army used chemical weapons!”
"Chemical weapons?" Suzuki Kenji said solemnly, "destroying mustard gas?"
"I don't know!" Shigekura Kama shook his head and said, "We still don't know the exact ingredients of the chemical weapons used by the China Army, but its toxicity is not much weaker than mustard gas. Once exposed to it, the Imperial Army warriors will immediately burst into tears and cough violently.
, and then the combat effectiveness will be completely lost in a short period of time. This is how the 1st Infantry Brigade and the 2nd Infantry Brigade were shattered one after another!"
"Bagagaru!" Suzuki Kenji said angrily, "Immediately report to the division headquarters that the 80th Infantry Regiment is determined to fight to the last soldier for His Majesty the Emperor. In addition, the China Army blatantly violated international conventions and attacked the great enemy.
The Imperial Army used chemical weapons of unknown composition, causing great damage to the Imperial Army..."
Before he finished speaking, two grenades fell from the sky and exploded immediately.
In the smoke and dust, Suzuki Kenji, Shigekura Kama and the staff in the war room immediately bent down and coughed. While coughing, tears and runny noses all came down. Suzuki Kenji, this little devil, is really determined.
After choking on the chili noodles, he fumbled and pulled out his saber, gestured to his abdomen, and then stabbed it viciously.
