The Northern Jiangsu Guerrilla Corps launched a wave of offensive and in a short period of time, it smashed the Japanese and puppet defense lines to pieces.
The Japanese and puppet troops outside the city lost support and fought alone. They were wiped out by the Northern Jiangsu Guerrilla Corps before they could receive orders from the city.
"The second company has forced its way across the Baoshe River, annihilated one company of puppet troops and captured twenty-five people."
"The village to the east of the city has been captured, and the troops are cleaning up the remaining enemies."
"All the positions in the north direction of the city have been captured, and the troops are advancing into Baoying City!"
…
The battle lasted only half an hour, and all the troops at the front had sent back good news. The attack went smoothly beyond expectations.
In the general command of the Northern Jiangsu Corps, both Yang Ling and the staff seemed very happy. If the fight continued like this, they would be able to capture Baoying without waiting for dawn and plant the Blue Sky and White Sun Flag on the top of Baoying City.
"Order all troops to attack and advance according to the original plan, without any carelessness, and pay attention to reducing the casualties of the troops."
Although the forward attack went smoothly, Yang Ling knew that the situation on the battlefield was changing rapidly, and if there was a slight mistake, it would lead to failure. Therefore, when the final victory was not achieved, there could not be any negligence.
The sound of artillery rumbled outside Baoying City, and the dense gunfire was like exploding beans without stopping for a moment. Countless bullets shone across the night sky, as if the night sky was torn apart.
There were shells falling on some houses, burning with raging fires and black smoke. Countless brothers rushed forward from among the ruins.
"Da da da!"
Knife and a group of brothers were moving rapidly toward Baoying. When they passed two civilian houses, a string of bullets was suddenly fired from the house.
The two brothers who were moving forward were unprepared. Bullets penetrated their bodies and they fell to the ground wailing.
"Hidden! There are enemies!"
Knife's reaction was very fast, and he immediately rolled behind a pile of debris. While shouting, he raised his gun and started to fight back.
The brothers who were moving forward dispersed with a roar, quickly looked for cover, and began to raise their guns to fight back.
But the enemies were very cunning. They transformed these two houses into hidden fortresses. Shooting holes were opened in the walls. Although the bullets scattered smoke and dust, they did not pose any threat to the enemies hiding inside.
The Japanese machine gun kept spitting out tongues of flame, and the knives and the surrounding soil were flying everywhere. He was not allowed to move while shooting.
"Knock him out with the grenade!"
The knife was chased by bullets in an awkward manner, and he roared with anger on his face.
The grenade team immediately took out the grenades they carried from their backpacks, then pointed the grenades at the machine gun spitting flames in the distance, and put the grenades into the barrel.
"Boom!"
As a ball of red light spurted out, the grenade hit the Japanese machine gun hard, and immediately exploded, raising a thick cloud of smoke.
The Japanese machine guns only paused for a moment, and then started roaring again. Two Japanese machine guns blocked the brothers' way.
"Boom!"
The brothers in the grenade team, after wasting three grenades, finally knocked out a Japs machine gun. The grenade penetrated the roof and fell into the house, blowing the Japs inside to a pulp.
The other Japanese machine gun didn't roar for long, and it was killed directly with two grenades from where it lurked behind.
Before the smoke and dust from the explosion had cleared, brothers from the two combat groups rushed forward. Only screams could be heard in the darkness, and soon the disgraced brothers were dragging the corpses of several Japanese soldiers.
"Leave two people to take care of the wounded, and the rest will continue the attack with me!"
The knife did not stop at all and continued to lead the brothers forward.
Daozi and the others were very fast and rushed in front of all the teams. When they encountered the sporadic Japanese and puppet fortresses, they went directly around and handed them over to the troops behind them to deal with them.
Just when Daozi and the others rushed to the foot of Baoying City and could see the outline of the city wall in the distance, suddenly a group of Japanese and puppet troops came menacingly on the road in front.
"Go up and kill them!"
The expert in knife art was brave and immediately ordered his troops to attack when he saw this Japanese and puppet army.
There were only about fifty brothers following Daozi. As the saying goes, soldiers are brave. Watching Daozi rush out first, the brothers also rushed forward with their sharp bayonets and howling.
This pair of mixed Japanese and puppet troops who were out of the city for reinforcements were hurriedly rushing. Suddenly, they were hit by a hail of bullets. The Japanese three-wheeled motorcycle in front was directly hit with holes in it, including the man and the vehicle, and fell to the roadside.
.
"shooting!"
The Japanese leading the team did not expect that the guerrillas had already attacked here, and hurriedly ordered a counterattack.
The Japanese soldiers had eyes on their heads and did not pay attention to the guerrillas at all, so they shot forward while trying to eliminate the guerrillas.
As a result, they mistakenly thought it was a small group of Japanese and puppet troops, so they also charged forward, and the two sides shot almost face to face.
The dense rain of bullets continued to cover both sides, and the rifles and machine guns of both sides opened fire. Under the stranglehold of the firepower network, the people in the front row of both sides were beaten with holes all over their bodies, and they did not even have time to scream.
He fell to the ground as soon as he sent it.
The two sides quickly rushed to the point of contact, and without any hesitation, they both rushed towards each other with bayonets drawn.
"Kill Gai Gai!"
The Japanese officers were roaring loudly, and the Japanese soldiers howled like wild beasts.
"Kill!"
Not to be outdone, the guerrilla brothers roared and charged forward.
The two teams collided fiercely like two wild bulls. The people in the front row sent bayonets into each other's bodies almost at the same time. The violent collision was accompanied by blood mist and the sound of bones breaking, and then they both fell to the ground.
.
The people behind stepped on the corpse and continued to charge. They roared for a while and blood flowed. In this night, an encounter started without warning.
The knife and the butt of the gun hit a ghost's helmet, and with a scream, the ghost shrank by a length, and then fell straight to the ground.
Two sharp bayonets were pointed at the knife. The two Japanese had ferocious faces and grinned like wild beasts.
But before they could rush in front of the swordsmen, they were suddenly thrown to the ground by two brothers who rushed out from the side. With a crackling sound, the bayonets stabbed the Japanese to the core.
This was a complete melee. It was difficult to distinguish the military uniforms in the night, and they relied entirely on the opponent's voice to stab them randomly with bayonets.
Although the Japanese and puppet troops were large in number, they were rushed to pieces by the knife-led men. Because no one knew whether they were enemies or friendly troops around them, they felt as if they were facing a formidable enemy.
In such a chaotic battlefield, any hesitation or thinking will give the knives and others an opportunity. They will often stab the Japanese with knives when they confirm their identity.
Because the Japanese and puppet soldiers were still mixed, it made it more difficult for the Japanese to distinguish who were the puppet soldiers and who were the guerrillas. The result was that many puppet soldiers were accidentally killed by the Japanese, and the guerrillas disguised themselves as puppet soldiers and attacked many Japanese soldiers.
.
"Keep your distance!"
The Japanese commander quickly understood and hurriedly ordered to retreat in an attempt to distance themselves, because if the melee continued like this, they would be the ones to suffer.
But Daozi and the others were not willing to let go. The Japanese and the puppet soldiers wanted to retreat, but they were not willing to let them go.
