The attacking troops of several battalions attacked fiercely, stepping on blood and rubble, and captured several streets in one go. The Japanese soldiers who relied on barricades to resist were killed and wounded everywhere. The blood in the chests of the brothers also surged, and their enthusiasm was high.
of rushing forward.
The strong figures of the brothers kept leaping forward among the ruins. The bullets blasted the ruined walls with holes in them. The Japanese soldiers who resisted seemed to be discouraged and were beaten back continuously.
"Teng Teng Teng -" A Type 92 heavy machine gun mounted at the window opened fire at the charging brothers. The brothers facing them were immediately beaten into a sieve and fell to the ground amid the splattering blood.
.
The way forward was blocked by such a Type 92 heavy machine gun. The brothers who were rushing along the street were immediately overwhelmed and couldn't lift their heads. They could only lie on the ground and eat ashes.
"Mortar! Mortar!" The company commander who was rushing at the front rolled to hide behind the sandbags and immediately shouted toward the back: "Knock out the Japanese machine gun."
The mortar crews in the battalion quickly followed up, and several shells flew towards the Japanese heavy machine guns. With several loud booms, most of the house was destroyed immediately, and the Japanese machine guns also misfired.
Before the company commander could rush forward with his men, the dozen remaining Japanese soldiers in the room rushed out of the smoke and ran toward the city's defense line, disappearing in the blink of an eye.
"Damn it, this little devil really can't stand a beating." When the company commander rushed up with his brothers, there were only a few blown-up corpses and the 92-style armor half-hidden in the ruins.
Heavy machine gun.
"Company commander, why did this Japanese guy escape?"
The Japs were famous for their ferocity on the battlefield. Now seeing the Japs turn around and run away, some monks who were two feet tall were confused.
The company commander didn't think much, raised his arms and shouted: "Brothers, just listen to me, the Japanese can't hold on anymore, let's work harder and take back Inner Huangcheng in one go!"
The blood-stained brothers raised their guns and shouted, and then quickly launched a new round of attack like a tide. However, the resistance they encountered became smaller and smaller as they went into the city. Some Japanese soldiers turned around and ran away as soon as they saw them.
This further stimulated the brothers' nerves, thinking that the Japanese could not stop them.
It’s no wonder that the brothers were careless. In order to conquer Neihuang City this time, their 74th Army came with a full division. The 71st Army also had at least two brigades of troops, and the Japanese army guarded Neihuang City with at most one division.
Although the regiment was elite, it could not withstand the fierce attack.
When the troops from each battalion marched into the city with great success, little did they know that the Japanese soldiers in the city had carefully crafted a large net, just waiting for the Chinese army to crash into it.
"Captain, the Chinese army is attacking!" In a solid brick building, a dusty Japanese second lieutenant reported to a major.
In accordance with the order of the commander, this major led the reinforcements to retake the South Gate position. However, he did not start a confrontation with the Chinese army. Instead, he led his troops to hide in the ruins, waiting to work, preparing to lure the enemy deep and destroy the advancing Chinese army in one fell swoop.
, and then take advantage of the situation to counterattack.
The Major's sinister gaze penetrated the mold-covered wooden windows and extended to the end of the ruined street ahead, where dozens of embarrassed Japanese soldiers were retreating while fighting, retreating towards this side, and further away,
In the ruins, figures are chasing each other quickly.
"Order all soldiers to wait until the Chinese army enters 100 meters before shooting!" the sinister Japanese major commanded after retracting his gaze.
"Hai!"
The communications soldier bowed heavily and trotted out of the house.
The pursuing Chinese army did not realize that they had already stepped into the trap. Although they felt that the little Japanese suddenly became invincible, the battlefield situation was changing rapidly and they had no time to think so much. They could only immerse themselves in the pursuit.
.
Countless black gun muzzles poked out of windows and wall holes, and the new Japanese army hidden in the ruins ferociously pulled the triggers on the Chinese troops who were marching forward.
"Teng Teng Teng -" the Type 92 heavy machine gun roared and fired wildly at the Chinese soldiers. The heavy machine gun bullets whizzed through one brother, and then slammed into the body of another brother without losing power.
Blood and flesh splattered, and the wailing continued. The brothers who rushed forward excitedly fell to the ground in an instant.
As the ferocious firepower of several Type 92 heavy machine guns opened fire, the hidden Japanese troops pulled the triggers one after another, and a hail of bullets as dense as locusts formed a barrage that instantly enveloped the entire neighborhood.
The brothers who charged forward seemed to have hit an invisible wall, and were torn to pieces in an instant. Bullets were flying everywhere, and the surrounding walls were soon covered with craters and blood. The entire company rushing forward
Struggling in the rain of blood.
The company commander who led the assault had his entire arm penetrated, and a large area of blood dripped from it. The pain made him sweat. His eyes turned red when he saw his brothers falling down and wailing in the rain of bullets.
"Retreat! Retreat!" he shouted hysterically, but his voice was quickly drowned in the dense sound of gunfire.
Those brothers who were not dead also scrambled to retreat, but were suppressed by the dense rain of bullets. How could they escape for a while? They watched helplessly as each of their companions was swept away by the rain of bullets and beaten into pieces.
Pile of minced meat.
"Onboard! Onboard!" The Japanese soldiers hidden in the ruins screamed and launched a charge. They were all fierce and ferocious. They rushed towards the remaining brothers and stabbed them randomly. Their sharp bayonets turned blood red in the blink of an eye.
.
"What's going on in the front?" Hearing the intensive gunfire from the front, the battalion commander Lu Xing, who was running with his head down, paused and looked up.
"Did you bump into the Japanese one after another?"
Lu Xing listened to the intensive gunfire and waved his hand: "Brothers, run faster and support the first company!"
But before Lu Xing and the others had rushed out, a large wave of dark Japanese soldiers rushed towards them. These Japanese soldiers had murderous looks on their faces, blood was still dripping from their bayonets, and a strong smell of blood rushed towards them.
The two sides encountered each other on the street, and started a fierce battle without saying a word. Amidst the hail of bullets, the brothers led by Lu Xing were unable to stop this wave of Japs, and were suddenly swept away. They suffered heavy casualties and had to
Escape backward.
There were nearly a thousand men in this ferocious army. Their fighting style was ferocious and fierce. They chased after Lu Xing and others with a bite on their butts. The machine gunner Lei Kai opened the way and actually beat back Lu Xing and his troops who had entered.
"Fight back! Don't withdraw!" After the Chinese army entered the city, they were too scattered. They were defeated by such a counterattack by the Japanese. At this critical moment, deputy brigade commander Zhang Lingfu personally carried a machine gun and led the guard company.
People rushed over.
Zhang Lingfu's military uniform was as dirty as his brothers, and his face, which was pitch black from gunpowder smoke, was streaked with sweat. But he was full of murderous intent, holding a machine gun and firing at the Japanese who were rushing towards him.
Facing the Japanese who were charging intensively, it was no longer useful to shoot with a short shot. Instead, shoot with a long shot, destroying a large area in an instant.
"Brothers, don't retreat! Hold on!" The defeated battalion commanders also quickly gathered their troops and formed a defense line on the spot. The two sides fought hard for half an hour and finally were not pushed back outside the city. However, the Japanese's fierce attack
The vigor really made the officers frightened.
After learning that the attack in the city had been thwarted and that the Japanese had launched a counterattack, the division commander, General Wang Yaowu, also followed him into the city, preparing to personally lead his troops to capture this last Japanese fortress.
