Layers of gunpowder smoke overturned the battlefield, making the sky dark and gloomy. The attacking troops shouting shocking slogans were like sweeping waves, following the gap opened by Liu Yidao and others, and quickly broke into the Japanese south gate position.
Those low wooden pile bunkers and those thick barbed wire fences had long been completely blown away by the artillery fire. The brothers stepped on the broken bones and rushed in. The Japanese troops who had not reacted to the artillery fire were instantly
It was washed to pieces.
"Lu Xing, lead the people to attack to the left!"
"Chen Ming, lead your people to eliminate the Japs on the right wing!"
Regiment leader Zhang Handuo also rushed into the Japanese position with the troops. Looking at the Japanese soldiers who were beaten to pieces by his brothers, he suppressed the excitement in his heart and calmly issued orders.
After receiving the order, the two battalion commanders did not hesitate at all. They immediately shouted and led their respective companies to sweep along the gap to the two wings, quickly expanding the results of the battle, clearing out the remaining enemies on the position, and preventing the Japanese army from counterattacking.
"Where is Deputy Commander Yang?" Zhang Handuo glanced around and saw that Yang Ling, who was beside him just now, had disappeared, and hurriedly asked the guard platoon leader next to him.
The guard platoon leader pointed in the direction of the ruins shrouded in thick smoke and said, "I just saw Deputy Commander Yang rushing to the front with the third battalion."
"What a nonsense. What if something goes wrong?" Zhang Handuo was a little angry when he heard that Yang Ling personally led the charge again.
"Commander, do you want me to call Deputy Commander Yang back?"
Although Zhang Handuo felt that it was inappropriate for Yang Ling, a deputy captain, to charge on the front line, he also knew that Yang Ling's stubborn character would make him unable to stay behind, and he finally sighed helplessly.
He waved his hand and said, "Forget it, he is also the commander of the third battalion. If he wants to fight, let him fight."
"Go and tell Deputy Commander Yang that there are a lot of Japs in the city. Tell him to rush slower and wait for the follow-up troops. Don't let the Japs make the dumplings." Zhang Handuo added after thinking for a while.
"Yes!" After receiving the order, a communications soldier immediately trotted over the trench and ran towards the direction where the gunfire was fierce.
Yang Ling knew that their attack this time was a surprise, so from the beginning, they had to rush and attack before the Japanese could react to quickly expand the victory. If the Japanese were to reorganize their defense line, it would be difficult to fight a tough battle.
Therefore, he did not have time to ask the regiment leader Zhang Handuo for instructions, and directly led the troops of the third battalion to attack in depth. With Liu Yidao and his commandos opening the way, their attack went smoothly, and the Japanese who were stunned and stunned by the bombs along the way could not stop them at all.
Stop their attack.
The entire area around Inner Huangcheng was filled with gunfire. Ji Hongru's regiment, who was responsible for the feint attack at the east gate, also fought fiercely. In the other direction, the 71st Army's team was also launching an attack. Yang Ling and the others attacked most smoothly, taking just over ten minutes.
They had already crossed the deep Japanese positions outside the city and attacked near the city gate.
Although the commando team led by Liu Yidao only had more than fifty people, they rushed so fast that they were left behind by those who came to block them. However, they were surrounded near the city gate.
Hundreds of Japanese troops surrounded Liu Yidao and others, and various weapons fired at them. Several broken walls where they were hiding were beaten into smoke and dust, and the commando soldiers suffered heavy casualties.
"Yeah!" The Japanese soldiers, whose eyes were red with gunpowder smoke, howled and surrounded them from all sides. They raised their rifles and stabbed the injured commando soldiers who had fallen to the ground, pulled out their bayonets and stabbed them again. The entire trench was filled with blood.
"You damn little devil, come on!" Liu Yidao and several brothers were back to back like surrounded wild beasts. Facing the ferocious Japanese troops around them, they were still very courageous and showed no fear at all.
Liu Yidao and the others tore apart the Japanese defense line, forcing the Japanese army into chaos and giving the main attacking force time to rush across the open ground with minimal casualties. They were indispensable, but now they are surrounded to death before the main follow-up force comes up.
.
"Yeah!" A Japanese soldier couldn't help but grinned and stabbed with the knife, but Liu Yidao was also a veteran who had narrowly escaped death. He dodged the bayonet on one side of his body, and the bayonet in his hand had already hit the soldier hard.
The Japanese army poked one through.
The Japanese soldier with a face full of pain was kicked over, and he lay on the ground groaning and twitching while clutching the bloody wound on his stomach. Seeing how fierce Liu Yidao was, two more Japanese soldiers couldn't help but attack him from left to right and rushed forward.
The surrounding Japanese soldiers were like a group of ferocious wild wolves, constantly poking forward and probing. The surrounded brothers were constantly poked with bloody holes, but when they caught the opportunity, they stabbed them back again. More than a dozen Japanese were also stabbed back.
Fell over.
"Kill!"
"boom!"
"boom!"
The third battalion led by Yang Ling pierced the Japanese position like a sharp knife and rushed to the city gate. Seeing so many Japanese soldiers surrounding them, they swept over with all kinds of weapons without hesitation.
The intensive firing of bullets flew in random directions, forming a terrifying barrage across the ruins. Gorgeous blood mist bloomed continuously, and Japanese troops fell in droves.
"Puff!"
"Well"
"ah!"
Screams were heard one after another. Facing Yang Ling's wolf-like troops, the remaining Japanese troops began to retreat in a panic. However, the bullets bit their flesh and the Japanese troops were almost dead in a short time.
This battlefield has become a Shura hell, and the low-lying ground is covered with gurgling blood, not only from Chinese soldiers, but also from the Japanese corpses piled up in layers.
These small blood puddles are like stagnant water after rain in the countryside. If you step on it, half of your foot will be covered. When you lift it up, the entire shoe will change color and drip with sticky blood. The brothers are wading through the puddles.
The blood on the ground saw Liu Yidao and others among the dead Japs.
Liu Yidao's whole body turned into a gourd of blood. He had been stabbed countless times, but he was holding a broken gun in his hand, but his body was still strong. The blood flowing down was like rain, making him wet all over.
of.
Seeing that the Japanese had retreated and Yang Ling and the others rushed over, Liu Yidao felt a sense of exhaustion coming over him. He could no longer hold on and his strong body fell to the ground.
"Xizi! Xizi!" Yang Ling quickly ran over and hugged Liu Yidao, turning to shout at Xizi who was carrying a first aid kit.
Xizi also stumbled over and saw Liu Yidao who couldn't find a good piece of meat in his body. He didn't care to speak and called the other two soldiers to start emergency rescue.
"The regiment...the regiment deputy..." Liu Yidao wanted to speak, but as soon as he opened his mouth, blood started to flow out of his mouth, which made Yang Ling's heart ache.
"You are seriously injured, don't say anything," Yang Ling stopped Liu Yidao: "Brothers are all good, go down and recuperate in peace, and leave everything to us."
Hearing Yang Ling talk about brothers, tears flowed from Liu Yidao's eyes. All the brothers in his commando team were lying here.
Liu Yidao, who was seriously injured, was sent down urgently, but his commando team broke through the Japanese defense line for the main assault force, and they took the greatest credit.
Yang Ling quickly recovered his mood, commanded the troops to continue to rush forward, and captured the south gate of Neihuang City in one go. All the Japanese in the trenches were shot by them with machine guns, and the Japanese turned into soldiers in the trenches.
of minced meat.
There was a shrill sound of motors in the sky, and a group of Japanese planes flew in urgently to assist in the battle. Seeing the Chinese army that was constantly charging forward, the Japanese planes dropped countless bombs and incendiary bombs, and the entire position outside the south gate became a smoke of gunpowder.
Sea of fire.
"You damn little Japs, you can even blow up your own family!" Seeing that the Japs who were strangulating and fighting with their brothers in the rear positions were also blown up into the sky by bombs dropped by Japs' planes, Wang Huzi couldn't help but curse loudly.
, I feel sorry for the brothers who were blown away.
The circling bombing planes of the Japanese army blocked the connection between Yang Ling and the follow-up troops. The Japanese aircraft were also ruthless. In order to prevent the position from being captured by the Chinese army, they strangled and bombed both sides together, forcing the follow-up troops to retreat temporarily.
As the follow-up troops were temporarily forced back by Japanese aircraft, Yang Ling and the third battalion that captured the city gate became a lone force in the front line and fell into a dangerous situation.
