The north gate tower of Tieling, which had been in disrepair for a long time, finally could not withstand the continuous bombardment of Japanese artillery fire and collapsed. The dozen or so officers and soldiers lying on the tower who were shooting fiercely had no time to evacuate and were instantly involved in the ruins.
It disappeared without a trace, and only thick smoke and dust rose into the sky.
However, the officers and soldiers guarding the city walls on both sides of the gap still refused to retreat. They relied on the battlements of the city wall and fired fiercely at the Japanese soldiers outside the city. The height of the city wall was at least ten meters, and they could attack the Japanese hiding behind the tanks from a high position.
The infantry caused very effective damage, so the first company was unwilling to abandon the city wall.
"Bah~~" A dazzling tongue of fire suddenly shot out from the city wall.
In the blink of an eye, this dazzling tongue of flames flew in front of a Type 95 light tank, and then accurately hit the joint between the tank turret and the body. The next moment, with a violent explosion, this Type 95 light tank
The turret of the Japanese light tank was immediately lifted from the root.
The skin of the Japanese tank is still a bit thin and cannot withstand direct fire from rocket launchers at close range.
However, the Japanese tanks were superior in numbers. Almost at the same time as this Type 95 light tank was exploded, the turrets of the other three Type 95 light tanks rotated around, and the three 37mm caliber main guns were already aimed at the city wall ahead.
, the Rocketeer, who was still in the excitement of having just scored a hit, realized something was wrong and wanted to move away, but it was already too late.
Soon enough, three Japanese tanks had fired at the same time. Three 37mm caliber kinetic energy bombs hit the city wall where the rocketeers were hiding almost instantly. One of the kinetic energy bombs penetrated the city wall.
After the battle, it hit the Rocketeer's chest, and instantly tore the Rocketeer's body into pieces.
Immediately afterwards, the Japanese's close support artillery fire poured out like an overwhelming force.
Compared with the Western powers, the Japs' heavy weapons are far behind in quantity and quality, but the heavily equipped Type 92 infantry cannon can be called an excellent close-in infantry support artillery. In actual combat, this artillery is extremely powerful.
Damn, right now, the Japanese's Type 92 infantry artillery is firing fiercely.
At least six Type 92 infantry guns concentrated their firepower and violently bombarded the north gate tower of Tieling.
After several rounds of artillery fire, the city walls on both sides of the gap finally collapsed, forming a huge gap. Moreover, the collapsed city brick ruins formed a gentle slope inside and outside the city wall, forming a passage. The six or seven tanks of the little devil immediately creaked.
It opened with a creak, and as for the city wall, it was completely lost.
After the city wall was lost, the battle entered the most brutal street fighting.
Zhao Dasha was hiding in a three-story foreign-style building, holding a Mosin-Nagant rifle and shooting continuously forward. His shooting range here was very good, and he was from a high position. He could just pass over the little devil's light tank and hit the enemy hiding behind the tank.
The Japanese infantry caused effective damage, and in just a moment, he had killed several Japanese.
However, when Zhao Dasha shot and killed the sixth Japs in a row, he finally attracted the attention of the Japs tanks.
The Type 95 tank that was charging forward along the street suddenly stopped, and then the turret also turned around, aiming the black muzzle at the three-story building where Zhao Dasha was hiding. Zhao Dasha was covered in blood.
The hairs on his hair stood up instantly, and he jumped up from the rooftop where he was hiding with a wolf howl, then jumped down with a forward somersault.
Almost at the same time that Zhao Dasha jumped off the rooftop, a cannonball had accurately hit the three-story western-style building.
Just hearing a loud bang, the rooftop of the three-story foreign-style building was hit with smoke and dust, and broken bricks were flying. Zhao Dasha was also hit hard by a broken brick on his back, and his whole body fell down at an accelerated speed.
, and fell heavily to the ground. After landing, he spat out a mouthful of blood. It was obvious that he had suffered serious internal injuries.
Looking up at the three-story building, I saw that a huge gap had been made in the rooftop where I had just been hiding. If Zhao Dasha hadn't reacted quickly and jumped down in advance, he would have been smashed into pieces by now.
Just as Zhao Dasha was congratulating himself, a signal soldier rushed over with a helmet in his hand.
The communication soldiers did not find Zhao Dasha, because Zhao Dasha was covered in dust at this time and almost completely blended in with the surrounding ruins. The communication soldiers ran straight past Zhao Dasha while shouting loudly: "Zhao Dasha"
Platoon leader, Platoon leader Zhao..."
Zhao Dasha struggled to sit up and said angrily: "Why are you shouting? I'm here!"
"Platoon leader Zhao?" The signal soldier immediately turned back and said to Zhao Dasha with red eyes, "The instructor has died. He asked me to tell you that the company will be under your command from now on."
"What did you say, the instructor died?" Upon hearing this, Zhao Dasha's eyes suddenly turned red.
The instructor of the first company is an old Red Army and old party member. The commander of the first company, Yao Lei, is like a living king of hell, but the instructor of the first company is like a kind-hearted elder. Not only does he take responsibility in battle, but he also often takes the lead in enduring hardships in life.
He cared about the officers and soldiers and would often stay up late to sew torn military uniforms for all the brothers in the company.
Therefore, the officers and soldiers of the whole company have a deep affection for the instructor.
"Yes." The signal soldier nodded heavily and gritted his teeth and said, "Little Maodan was injured while fighting a Japanese tank. The instructor wanted to carry him back, but when he was walking back, he was blocked by Japanese machine guns. In the end, both of them died.
"After a pause, the signal soldier said again with red eyes, "Platoon Leader Zhao, you have to avenge the instructor!"
"Yes!" Zhao Dasha nodded heavily and said in a deep voice, "Let's go!"
The instructor had died, and as the platoon leader, Zhao Dasha had become the highest-ranking officer in the company, so he took over the command of the first company without hesitation, so he could no longer stay behind and immediately came to the front of the battlefield.
The street fighting between Shi Yilian and the Japanese has reached a fever pitch.
Since the first company was equipped with rocket launchers, the threat of rocket launchers in street fighting was particularly great, so the Japanese tanks no longer dared to charge forward unscrupulously. As a result, the situation immediately evolved into a traditional infantry offensive and defensive battle. However, the Seventh Army was worthy of having experienced the Red Army.
The elite troops tempered by the tower battle have strong combat will and combat experience.
And now the Second Division, which is responsible for the main attack on Tieling City, is even more elite among the elite!
Therefore, in street fighting, the First Company could barely compete with the Japanese.
When Zhao Dasha came up, the three platoons at the forefront of the battle had already suffered more than half of their casualties. The total number of officers and soldiers in the entire platoon only had about 80 people left. You know, there were nearly 200 people in the three platoons at full strength, which was quite a lot.
So a company was strengthened, but now, there are only more than 80 people left in the platoon, and the battle has only lasted less than half a day, which shows how tragic the battle is!
At this moment, the Third Platoon was fighting with the Japanese over a six-story reinforced concrete building, because this building was not only the commanding heights nearby, but also extremely strong and could withstand shell bombardment. In other words, no matter what
Whoever controls this six-story building basically controls the entire Beicheng District.
Just a moment ago, the Japanese did not hesitate to invest heavily, dispatching six tanks to lead an infantry squadron to launch a large-scale offensive, and finally took the building from the hands of the third platoon. The instructor of the first company was sacrificed in the battle just now, so
Now this six-story building has fallen into the hands of the little devil.
Now, the situation became very serious for Yilian.
Because, the little devil only needs to set up a crane gun on the top of the building to block nearby streets and alleys from above. By then, it will be very difficult to even dispatch troops! Therefore, this building must be recaptured as soon as possible, otherwise, this will happen.
The battle would be impossible to fight! Zhao Dasha had made up his mind in an instant.
At that moment, Zhao Dasha raised his head and shouted: "Third platoon leader!"
A squad leader bent forward and said sadly: "Platoon Leader Zhao, our platoon leader just died."
"Fuck!" Zhao Dasha couldn't help but swear, and then said, "Squad Leader Niu, from now on you will be the acting platoon leader of the third platoon. Now you immediately organize the entire platoon brothers."
"Yes!" Squad Leader Niu agreed and shouted, "I have everything, prepare to fight!"
More than 80 veterans who had fought for the rest of their lives immediately began to check their guns, ammunition, and grenades. After a while, all the officers and soldiers were ready. Squad leader Niu made a gesture to Zhao Dasha, which meant that they were ready.
alright.
Zhao Dasha nodded heavily, then turned around and shouted to the squad leaders behind him: "When the battle starts, Class 9 will go up from the left side of the building, Class 7 will go to the right side of the building, Class 8 will follow me to the front, and the Heavy Machine Gun Class
There is also a rocket launcher team responsible for interfering with the battlefield. We cannot let the infantry support of the Japs come up, especially the tanks of the Japs! Do you understand?"
"Understood!" Several squad leaders responded suddenly, and Zhao Dasha waved his hand again and shouted, "Act!"
The next moment, Zhao Dasha buckled his helmet on his head and was the first to emerge from the ruins where he was hiding.
Immediately afterwards, three rows of more than eighty officers and soldiers also rushed out from the ruins where they were hiding, and quickly divided into three groups, launching counterattacks from the left wing, right wing and center towards the six-story building.
At this time, it had been less than five minutes since the Japs occupied the six-story building. The Japs had not even had time to set up a machine gun on the rooftop of the building. But even so, after discovering that Zhao Dasha led the third platoon to launch a counterattack, the building
The Japanese squadron inside quickly counterattacked, rushing to the south window of the building and firing fiercely with their guns.
Six crooked handles and two Type 92 heavy machine guns were quickly set up, and they fired fiercely at the same time. The hot bullets swept over like a violent storm in an instant, blocking the sudden advance of Zhao Dasha and the three rows of officers and soldiers.
However, Zhao Dasha and the three platoons of officers and soldiers did not stop because of this, but continued to rush forward in the face of the Japanese gunfire.
Three rows of officers and soldiers fell down one after another, but they still continued to move forward in the face of the hail of bullets, forward!
