"Comrades, charge, kill all the little Japs, and capture Shun Tada alive...ta da da..." A burst of sporadic bullets were shot from the Japs' position. The few soldiers charging at the front were all shot, without any surprise.
He fell on the way to charge. The company commander picked up the ground, sacrificed the machine gun in the hand of the machine gunner, and yelled at the soldiers around him. At the same time, he pulled the trigger on the little Japanese who was getting closer and closer in front of him and was about to fight back.
The trigger of the machine gun in his hand...
Suppressed by several crooked machine guns firing dense rain of bullets, the more than twenty Japanese soldiers who had just reacted to the artillery fire were once again overwhelmed by the flying bullets because they lost the cover of the machine guns.
His own head. And a company of nearly a hundred soldiers, taking advantage of this favorable fact, rushed into the little devil's defenses in one go...
"Bang bang bang... click click click..." Facing the more than twenty Japanese soldiers in the fortifications, bayonets drawn, ready to engage in hand-to-hand combat with them. The soldiers did not hesitate at all and quickly fired their rifles.
The last bullet in the gun chamber was fired... A burst of messy gunfire rang out, and more than twenty Japanese soldiers didn't even have time for a chain reaction. With a look in their eyes, they turned into a
Every limp corpse fell on the charging road...
"Brigadier Commander, the position has been successfully taken by the First Company. During the battle, less than one squad of soldiers was lost." Looking at the soldiers of the First Company, they succeeded with only a few casualties.
He occupied the Jaap position in front of him. Hu Zhengping, leader of the Second Regiment, answered Bruce Lee with a smile on his face.
"Well, the first company did a good job and ordered the troops to continue the attack. If we encounter the street fighting fortifications arranged by the little devils on the streets again, we will greet them in the old way. Our task is to penetrate the Japanese army in the shortest possible time.
North China Headquarters, knock out the command system of the Japanese army in Peiping..." Bruce Lee showed a smile on his face and ordered confidently.
The entire second regiment, with more than a thousand soldiers, under the personal command of brigade commander Bruce Lee, sometimes charged and sometimes attacked. With the perfect cooperation of the two sharp weapons of mortars and anti-aircraft machine guns, the march was unstoppable and the progress was extremely rapid.
In just one hour, when the sun had risen in the east, the troops had successfully penetrated several streets. The distance from the Japanese North China Garrison Headquarters had also changed from a few kilometers at the beginning to now.
Two kilometers…
However, as the troops got closer to the Little Devils Headquarters, the progress of the soldiers became slower and slower. Facing the Second Guard Brigade Regiment, this Eighth Route Army unit that was alone and in-depth, as the commander, Shun Tada won the prize, of course.
He would not let go of this good opportunity to take advantage again. After all, after a large number of Imperial Army troops were rushed to build city defenses, he still had a reserve team of five thousand people in his hands at this moment. Add to that
There are still 6,000 elite troops in the military police brigade in Beiping City. With 6,000 elite troops in hand, it is absolutely impossible not to feel itchy when facing the Eighth Route Army troops with less than 2,000 troops deep into the city alone.
matter.
"Chief of Staff, are you sure that the situation you just mentioned has been investigated clearly? The Eighth Route Army indeed has less than one regiment, carrying only a small number of mortars, and goes deep into the city alone. Now it has attacked, less than two meters away from the headquarters.
Kilometer position?" Hearing the sound of intensive gunfire not far away from the road, the commander, General Shun Tada, frowned and asked.
"Hey, I can guarantee with my honor as a soldier that there will never be any mistakes. The Eighth Route Army troops with less than 2,000 people have now attacked here. However, under the resolute blocking of a large number of my troops, the progress of the Eighth Route Army
The speed is very slow. If you want to attack our headquarters, it will take at least two hours to complete. However, your Excellency, Commander, for your safety, I humbly suggest that you immediately take the staff office, telecommunications room, etc.
Important departments will be transferred to the newly established headquarters in the concession and continue to direct the battle." The chief of staff pointed to a street on the city defense map and said with an affirmative look.
"No, Chief of Staff, the Eighth Route Army only has less than one regiment of offensive troops, and it is absolutely impossible to eat my headquarters. This is absolutely impossible. Chief of Staff, today, not only do I not intend to retreat, but I will
Here, command our Imperial Army to completely annihilate this lone Eighth Route Army unit that has penetrated deeply, and continue to combat the Eighth Route Army's arrogance..." General Tada Shun shook his head and said with certainty.
"Ah, your Excellency, Commander, is wise. With the strength of the reserve force in our hands, we are fully capable of annihilating the Eighth Route Army's troops who are deeply alone. If we can completely annihilate this Eighth Route Army unit again, it will not only be a good blow to the morale of the Eighth Route Army.
, at the same time, it can also continuously weaken the effective strength of the Eighth Route Army outside the city. If nothing else happens, the Eighth Route Army troops outside the city have reached the point where their strength is stretched thin. Otherwise, after breaking through the city wall, the Eighth Route Army will not just send out a regiment of troops to carry out the attack.
Going deep alone..." The chief of staff's eyes lit up, a look of sudden realization appeared on his face, and then he said excitedly.
"Yo Xi, what you said is very correct. Judging from the current situation, the Eighth Route Army troops outside the city have indeed reached the point where their strength is stretched thin. If we can seize this favorable opportunity, we can once again annihilate their main force.
regiment, then the Eighth Route Army troops outside the city will fall into a dilemma of insufficient strength. At that time, the difficulties we encountered in Beiping City will be easily solved..." Tada Shun nodded and said with a smile on his face.
"Hey, Commander, please give me an order to annihilate the Eighth Route Army troops that are alone and deep in the army..." the chief of staff affirmed.
"Now I order the 1st, 2nd, and 3rd Reserve Brigades, under your personal command, Chief of Staff, to immediately surround the Eighth Route Army troops that are advancing alone, and strive to completely annihilate this Eighth Route Army unit within an hour. Chief of Staff, you have
I don’t have the confidence to complete this mission..." Jun Tada nodded with satisfaction and gave a loud order to the chief of staff in front of him.
"Commander, please rest assured. I will definitely live up to your expectations. I will wipe out this Eighth Route Army unit in the shortest possible time. Commander, please rest assured..." After saying this, the chief of staff, who had been tasked with leading troops in combat, said:
He walked out with a confident face.
In less than a few minutes, three infantry brigades and 3,000 Japanese soldiers, under the command of the chief of staff, quickly moved along the streets and alleys everywhere in Beiping City to where the Second Regiment of the Guard Brigade was located.
Detour around, hoping to surround this Eighth Route Army unit in the shortest possible time. Then, launch a surprise attack and annihilate this unit.
However, after suffering huge losses in the first attack, at this moment, although the Second Regiment of the Guard Brigade was also alone, Bruce Lee, as the commander, deployed a large number of reconnaissance missions in the front, rear, left and right of the troops.
Troops. If there is any accident, I will definitely be able to respond in the shortest possible time...
"What's going on? Twenty minutes have passed, and the troops have only advanced less than a hundred meters. If we keep this speed, by the time we reach the little devil's headquarters, the day lilies will be cold..." Looking at
The troops were advancing at a snail's pace. Brigadier Bruce Lee frowned and came to the forward battalion commander Xu Long and asked...
"Brigadier Commander, the resistance of the little Japs is so tenacious. Almost every house has to be fought fiercely by our army. So far, although we have eliminated many little Japs, but
The forward battalion has lost almost a company of troops... In addition, in front of us, the entire street is almost densely covered with various street fighting fortifications, including various bunkers built with reinforced concrete. The heavy weapons in our hands,
It has no impact on these bunkers at all. We can only rely on engineers to blast them and slowly move forward..." Seeing the brigade commander in front of him, Xu Long, the commander of the forward battalion, was also very unhappy because of the huge losses of the troops.
Feeling good, he frowned and replied.
"Hey, what a miscalculation. If I had known this, we would have brought an anti-aircraft gun with us. However, it is too late now. We must find a way to speed up the attack of the troops..." Bruce Lee shook his hand helplessly.
The head said.
However, at this moment, a burst of rapid footsteps reached his ears. Immediately afterwards, he saw an investigator clinging to the courtyard walls on both sides of the street and quickly ran to his side.
He reported hurriedly: "Brigadier Commander, it's an emergency. We found a large number of Japanese troops in the alleys on both sides of the army, and they are encircling towards our two wings. They are three infantry brigades in size..."
"What did you say? Three brigades of Japs are coming towards our two wings. What do the Japs want to do? Did they see our Second Regiment go deep alone and want to annihilate us all?" Bruce Lee suddenly widened his eyes.
A pair of eyes asked in disbelief. After a few seconds of shock, Bruce Lee's mouth slowly revealed a sneer, and he said to the battalion commanders around him.
"It seems that the little devil commander, the old devil Tada Shun, took a big advantage in our first round of attack. Seeing that our second regiment went deep alone, he still wanted to take a big advantage. However, our second regiment can
It won't be so easy to be wiped out by them. When the time comes, not only will the little devils be left with nothing to eat, but I will also let them all stay here." Bruce Lee affirmed.
"Brigadier, do you already have any good ideas in mind?" Seeing the confident brigade commander Bruce Lee in front of them, Hu Zhengping, leader of the second regiment, asked expectantly.
"Battle Commander Xu, while you are fighting street fights with the little devils in the surrounding yards, are there any ordinary people in the houses around street i?" In response to Hu Zhengping's question, Bruce Lee nodded without answering. Then,
He looked at the forward battalion commander Xu Hu in front of him with confusion and asked.
"Brigadier Commander, during the battle, there was not a single common person in the house in the yard next to the street. If nothing else, before the battle started, the Japanese army had already driven away all the common people around the headquarters, so that they could arrange various arrangements.
Street fighting fortifications..." Xu Hu replied affirmatively.
"Very good, in that case, our Second Regiment will serve as a bait today to attract all the main forces of the Japs in Beiping City to our surroundings. Then, with the cooperation of several other troops entering the city, we will
The main force of the Japanese army will be wiped out here. In this way, in the next battle, we can avoid street fighting with the little devils." After receiving the affirmative answer, Bruce Lee's mouth immediately showed a smile, and he faced
Hu Zhengping, who was beside him, expressed his thoughts.
"It's just, brigade commander, if this is the case, the casualties of the Second Regiment will definitely be very heavy. Also, during the battle, if something unexpected happens and the other troops are unable to rush to the battlefield in time, our Second Regiment may
We will face the result of annihilation of the entire army." Hu Zhengping said with a worried look on his face.
"Commander Hu, for the overall situation of the entire Peking Campaign, the necessary sacrifices are worth it. In addition, we must believe in the combat effectiveness of other units and our comrades. The most important thing is that we must believe in the combat effectiveness of our own unit. Although
The Japanese army has three thousand people, which is twice our strength. However, as long as we make use of the various buildings around us and arrange them properly, we can persist for several hours or even a day. Therefore, we must
Have confidence in yourself..." Bruce Lee interrupted Hu Zhengping, who was about to continue speaking, and said with certainty.
"Brigade Commander, since you have made up your mind, I will definitely support you, just give the order..." Seeing that the Brigade Commander had made up his mind, Hu Zhengping immediately swallowed back what he wanted to say. Then.
, he supported with a look of certainty.
"Well, we must believe in our own combat effectiveness. At the same time, we must also believe in the combat effectiveness of our comrades. Commander Hu, I just observed that the left side of the street we are on is mainly some shops, which have no solid value. And on our
On the right side, there are almost all large courtyards. If the remaining troops of our second regiment occupy as many courtyards as possible, they can use the strong courtyard walls to hold on and kill a large number of the surrounding Japanese troops..." Bruce Lee pointed to the right
A large courtyard with a solid wall on the side, analyzed to Hu Zhengping beside him.
"Brigadier Commander, according to the solidity of these courtyards, if the Japanese army does not carry any heavy weapons, we will have absolutely no problem holding the position with these courtyard walls. Brigadier Commander, please give the order. Now the little devil is far away from us.
We are getting closer, we must seize the time to set up positions for the little devils in these compounds..." Hu Zhengping nodded and answered affirmatively.
"Okay, now I order the second and third battalions to immediately occupy as many compounds as possible on the right side of the street in platoon units. At the same time, use all available tools to connect all the compounds we occupy. And we must
Shooting holes are drilled around the courtyard wall near the street. In addition, the forward battalion, artillery company, anti-aircraft machine gun company, and heavy machine gun company serve as reserves and are responsible for central adjustment. Are there any other questions?" Bruce Lee ordered affirmatively.
…
Seeing that everyone shook their heads, indicating that they had no doubts. Bruce Lee continued: "Okay, since everyone has no questions, let's start taking action now. Tell the soldiers that time will not wait for me. The stronger our position is built, the stronger it will be."
When the time comes, the longer we hold on... Commander Hu, please immediately send a report to the commander and report our battle plan."
As the commanders left, the streets that were full of soldiers just now became deserted in an instant. Groups of soldiers began to scale the wall in platoons under the command of commanders at all levels.
He got into the courtyard on the right side of the street. In less than a few minutes, the sound of grenades exploding and the sound of metal colliding could be heard in this huge courtyard.
The courtyards were connected together amidst the explosions of grenades, allowing the soldiers to enter and exit at will to reinforce each other. The gates next to the streets were blocked by various obstacles by the soldiers.
The blockage was so tight that except for the heavy cannons, which could pose a threat to the gate, other weapons basically had no effect. And more soldiers used sharp bayonets in their hands to start attacking the tall and solid courtyard in front of them.
Shooting holes as thick as a bowl were dug out on the wall. The barrels of machine guns and rifles stretched out from the narrow shooting holes, aiming steadily at the empty space at this moment.
The streets are waiting for the arrival of the little devil.
"Company Commander Wang and Company Commander Zhou. The 18 heavy machine guns and anti-aircraft machine guns in your two companies will immediately be centered on the compound where the headquarters is located and arranged on the inside of each passage. If the outer courtyard is occupied by the Japanese army, do not have any
Hesitant, use the heavy weapons in your hands to seal all the passages for me. Is there any problem..." Looking at the troops of more than a thousand people, under the command of their respective commanders, making orderly preparations
Work. Bruce Lee set his sights on the reserve team and several company and battalion commanders around him, and ordered.
"Brigade commander, promise to complete the mission..." the two company commanders replied in unison, turned around and led the troops, carrying heavy machine guns and anti-aircraft machine guns, and left the compound where the headquarters was located.
"Captain Zhang, your artillery company is setting up an artillery position immediately. You must measure the shooting points of the four surrounding streets and the surrounding yards in advance. When the time comes, you must ensure that your artillery shells can hit wherever I point.
Are there any difficulties?" Bruce Lee continued to order...
"Brigade Commander, there is no difficulty. The artillery company guarantees to complete the mission..." As he spoke, the artillery company commander had already commanded nearly a hundred soldiers behind him and began to set up nine mortars in the open space in the center of the yard. At the same time, several artillery observers,
Following the company commander's order, he quickly rushed out of the compound, taking advantage of the fact that the Japanese troops had not yet arrived, and measured the specific shooting elements...
