The stream of light that dragged out the ballistics cut through the dark night sky. In the flickering streets and alleys, the guerrilla officers and soldiers covered in gunpowder smoke and blood were bent forward to attack.
The Japanese resisted very tenaciously. Several Type 92 heavy machine guns they placed on the street fired desperately, and the violent fire chains could tear everything to pieces.
There was also a Japanese light machine gun group that occupied the commanding heights near the county capital and fired wildly at the guerrillas attacking along the street from a high position.
The Japanese are now at the end of their rope, and they know very well that if this last line of defense cannot be defended, they will all die.
The brothers from the machine gun company of the fifth battalion of the Northern Jiangsu Guerrilla Corps have already pulled up two mortars and two Type 92 infantry artillery pieces.
However, they did not get Yang Ling's order, but they could not fire in the last direction of the Japs without permission. They could only let the Japs shoot wildly and stare.
The purpose of Yang Ling's attack on Baoying was to mobilize the Japanese troops back to relieve the pressure on the guerrillas in the countryside and allow them to successfully break out of the encirclement.
Now if we directly knock down the Japs' headquarters, the bait will be gone and it will be difficult for the fish to take the bait. Although Yang Ling also wanted to take down the Japs' headquarters, he could only endure it.
This is like putting a piece of fragrant braised pork in front of your mouth. You can only look at it but not eat it. This will stifle the officers and soldiers fighting on the front line.
"boom!"
A company commander leaned on the sandbag barricade that had a gap in it and suddenly leaned out and fired a shot at the Japanese machine gun that was firing wildly.
"Teng Teng Teng——"
The Japanese's Type 92 heavy machine gun immediately turned its muzzle and fired wildly in this direction, causing the sandbags and sand to fly.
In the choking smoke, the company commander rolled and hid under the wall with the rifle in his hand. Panting heavily, he escaped the Japanese machine gun fire. Looking back, the sandbags had been beaten into sieves by the UI.
.
"Damn, it's so frustrating." The company commander looked at the Japanese machine guns that spit out streams of flames, gasping and cursing.
Not to mention the Type 92 infantry cannon, even a fifty-millimeter grenade can blow up the Japanese machine gun into scrap metal. But now that I can't bear to use it, the company commander will be as aggrieved as he is.
.
"Company commander, why don't you give the Japanese a shot?" Looking at the uncomfortable company commander, the grenadier soldier hiding in the darkness beside him couldn't help but suggest.
"Commander Yang, do you have an order?" the company commander asked.
"No, I just don't like the little devils and want to destroy their prestige," the brother replied.
"Bear with me, don't expose your firepower without orders from Commander Yang." The company commander couldn't help but give this brother a roll of his eyes.
"Company Commander, it's almost dawn, when will we launch the general attack?" a brother asked impatiently.
"You ask me who I'm going to ask, just wait, we can't spare these little Japs anyway." The company commander said and loaded the gun again, and began to aim the gun in the direction of the Japs.
"boom!"
As the gunfire rang out, a Japanese soldier lying on the roof screamed, and immediately caused a large piece of rubble to roll down.
After the company commander fired, he rolled skillfully and hid behind another pile of debris. The enemy's bullets immediately poured into the wall where he had originally been hiding.
The brothers at the front slowly used their rifles to consume the ammunition of the little devils, waiting in agony for the order of the general attack.
Yang Ling, who was in charge of the command from behind, did not pay attention to the battle in the city, because there were not many Japs left in the city and they could be captured with a single charge.
What he is paying attention to now is the news about the Japanese reinforcements, but after waiting and waiting, there is no news, and many people are almost losing their temper.
Seeing that it was almost dawn, just when Yang Ling decided to launch a general attack, eliminate the remaining Japanese troops in the city, and then go to rescue the besieged brothers, the rapid sound of horse hooves sounded on the street outside.
Hearing the rapid sound of horse hooves, Yang Ling and his staff all raised their heads and looked out the door.
Soon two steaming military horses rushed in front of the temporary command post. Two tired and panting brothers got off their horses and ran towards Yang Ling and the others.
"Report, report!" The brother reported with rapid breathing: "The Japanese reinforcements passed Shuiquan Village half an hour ago and are now rushing towards Baoying!"
When they heard that the Japanese reinforcements had arrived, Yang Ling and others' spirits were lifted up, and each other's eyes showed joy.
"How many people are back? They came from that direction." Yang Ling took a step forward and asked.
"They are the Japs returning from Shanyang Town. There are three to four hundred people in the vanguard alone. They are all lightly armed and marching quickly. They do not carry heavy weapons. The large troops follow behind."
When Yang Ling was questioning this brother, another detective brother on horseback came galloping towards him.
"Report, all the Japs in Liubao Town are coming."
...
A group of brothers who were responsible for monitoring the Japs rushed back one after another to report. At this moment, the large Japanese troops were heading towards Baoying.
"It seems that our encirclement of Wei and rescue of Zhao was successful."
Yang Ling and the others finally breathed a sigh of relief when they heard that various Japanese troops were marching towards Bao overnight.
"Sir, these little devils will arrive in a moment. Let's retreat quickly, otherwise we will be surrounded by them." Although Du Jiang was happy, he was still full of worry.
After all, there are three Japanese infantry brigades on the periphery at the moment, and more than three thousand little Japanese armed to the teeth are not something they can deal with.
Now that the Japanese have been successfully mobilized, Yang Ling also knows that if they stay in Baoying for one more minute, they will be in more danger, and naturally they will not put the troops in danger.
"Let the militia and the young men who came to wave the flag and shout out the troops evacuate Baoying immediately."
"The stretcher team immediately transported the wounded and evacuated them."
"The Second Company and the Third Company took action immediately to remove the things from the Japanese warehouse and transport them back to Huaiyin by water."
"The machine gun battery, the first company, and the fourth company immediately launched a general attack on the remaining Japanese troops. The battle must be resolved within ten minutes!"
With Yang Ling's order, each company took action one after another and began to organize the retreat in an orderly manner.
"Chief Yang has an order, a general attack!" The ordering soldiers also rushed to the front and gave the order for a general attack.
"Hahaha, this is what I was waiting for." After hearing the order of the general attack, the three company commanders who were suppressed and beaten by the Japanese were all in high spirits.
"Artillery platoon, give me a blast! Blow up all the Japanese firepower points!" the commander of the machine gun company shouted excitedly.
The brothers in the artillery platoon, who had already calibrated the firing parameters, quickly prepared the mortars and infantry guns.
"put!"
Following an order from the commander of the machine gun company, clusters of red light appeared in the dark alley, and the artillery shells struck various Japanese firepower points with a shrill roar.
"Boom! Boom!"
A deafening explosion sounded. Under such bombardment, the Japanese's roaring machine gun positions and supporting fire points everywhere immediately erupted into balls of fire with scorching smoke and were blown to pieces.
Under the dazzling light, I saw countless pieces of rotten wood, sandbags and Japanese soldiers suddenly rising into the air, and then being thrown fiercely into the darkness.
"Brothers, charge!"
The scorching and thick gunpowder smoke formed a billowing wall of smoke. Following the roar of the infantry company commander, the brothers who had already been holding back their energy let out an earth-shattering cry of killing, and rushed into the thick gunpowder smoke with bayonets in hand.
, launched the final purge of the remaining Japanese troops.
