Chapter eight hundred and eighty sixth double happiness
"Comrades, rush with me, rush into Xiangfen City, capture the leader of the Little Japanese Brigade alive... kill..."
As soon as the shelling stopped, the Eighth Route Army, which was less than 300 meters away from the city wall, began to attack.
The attacking troops in company units were like an unsheathed sword, quickly thrust into the city wall.
If you look down from the air, you will find that there are at least twelve sword-like attack formations rushing towards the city wall from all directions throughout Xiangfen City.
As for the heavy machine guns behind them, they were lined up in a row. Regardless of whether there were Japanese soldiers showing up at the top of the city, they fired at the battlements. The dense bullets hit the masonry walls, bullets flew everywhere, and sparks flew everywhere. It looked like
Extremely scary.
The mortars were also lined up in a row, with their muzzles raised, and from time to time they fired several shells at suspicious targets exposed on the city wall.
The city wall, which was constantly experiencing explosions, was in a mess at this moment.
There were bloody corpses everywhere, broken arms that had been blown to pieces, and wounded people wailing in pain.
As for the intact Japanese and puppet troops, they all crouched behind the city gates and did not dare to show their heads.
"Sir, the offensive firepower of the Eighth Route Army is too fierce. As soon as the soldiers show their heads, bullets will be fired at them immediately. Moreover, many of our heavy machine guns were blown up in the shelling just now, and only one is left usable!"
"On Bagh Ya Road, we have to fight back even though the firepower is fierce. We will kill as many Eighth Route Army soldiers as we can. The brigade leader said that we live or die with the city wall. Without orders, no one can take a step back and must fight to the end!" The squadron leader gritted his teeth!
commanded.
"Those who can still move, shoot and fight back~"
"The ones who can't move are responsible for loading the bullets, and then prepare the grenades. When they get close, just use the grenades to blow them up~"
"Da da da……"
The only heavy machine gun on the city wall fired, and the dense bullets killed and wounded several soldiers at once.
Just as the Japanese machine gunner screamed and continued to shoot, a string of bullets flew directly from the front, passed through the battlements, and pierced his chest.
"Baga, change people, other machine gunners, keep going, the heavy machine gun can't stop!" the Japanese soldier who commanded the machine gun shouted loudly.
The deputy shooter had a look of fear on his face, but he still gritted his teeth and touched it.
Just as he was squatting behind the heavy machine gun, before his hands touched the handle, a few bullets punched three bloody holes in his chest. Then he fell to the ground with a face full of reluctance, dying.
"Bage Ya Road, the Eighth Route Army's offensive firepower is too fierce, we must be targeted by them..." Sergeant Cao suddenly reacted.
After being shocked, he immediately ordered: "Move the machine gun position immediately and continue shooting at the battlement next to it!"
As soon as the order was issued, the scream of artillery shells reached the sergeant's ears. Immediately afterwards, a violent explosion rang in his ears. A ball of white light flashed in front of his eyes, and then the whole person was like a kite with its string broken.
Blow up, lose intuition.
While two heavy machine guns were targeting them, three mortars from a mortar platoon were also targeting them.
After a total of three salvoes, the heavy machine gun and the machine gunner were all blown away.
The same thing happened in every corner of the battlefield. The Japanese army, which had always suppressed the enemy on the battlefield, tasted being beaten for the first time.
Cannonballs and bullets kept harvesting their lives.
"Prepare grenades!" The Japanese squadron leader was lucky, neither bullets nor artillery shells took his life, and he has persisted until now. Seeing that the Eighth Route Army had reached fifty or sixty meters outside the city wall, the squadron leader immediately ordered.
Whether you can block the Eighth Route Army's attack, grenades are your last resort.
However, the squadron leader was desperate. On the city wall more than 100 meters away, very few of his subordinates responded.
Before the war, there was a strong squadron of nearly 300 defenders, but now there are less than 50 defenders left, scattered on the city wall of more than 100 meters, and there are still many wounded among them!
"Throw the grenade!" the squadron leader ordered decisively!
At the same time, the Eighth Route Army outside the city also began its final assault.
Holding the grenade in his hand, he rushed forward as fast as he could. When he was almost close to the city wall, he threw the grenade against the five or six meter high city wall with all his strength.
There were also some soldiers, holding explosive bags and grenades that might fall around them and explode at any time, and rushed towards the city gate at all costs.
After the attacking force lost nearly a company in the grenade rain, the grenades thrown by the Eighth Route Army on the city wall also killed almost all the remaining Japs.
"Rumble..."
At this moment, an earth-shaking explosion sounded in the city gate, and then thick black smoke and fireballs were seen spraying out from the entrance of the city gate.
"Comrades, the city gate is open, follow me and fight in, and capture the leader of the Little Japanese Brigade alive!"
As a major general, Kawaguchi knew very well the tragic fate that his family might face if he was captured alive.
Therefore, when the Eighth Route Army's offensive troops fought their way to the headquarters, Major General Kawaguchi decisively drew his pistol and died on the counterattack with his personal guards.
"Commander, chief, we have won, Xiangfen City has been captured by us! The leader of the Japanese Brigade was shot to death randomly, but his command knife and epaulettes were captured by us and are intact!" The first one to break into Xiangfen
The commander of the first brigade, who was directly under the command of the Japanese brigade commander, reported with excitement on his face.
Commander Chen and the Chief of Staff both had smiles on their faces.
Killing the Japanese Major General Brigade Commander, and doing it on a frontal battlefield, was unique not only in the Eighth Route Army, but also in the whole of China.
Although before the battle started, the two of them knew that the troops would definitely capture Xiangfen County and kill the leader of the Japanese Major General Brigade. However, after the incident actually happened, the two of them were still very excited because they had created a miracle.
The deputy chief of staff was the first to react. He stared at the commander of the regiment and ordered: "Collect all the things belonging to the commander of the major general brigade. I estimate that these things will not only be handed over to Yan'an, but also sent to Chongqing if possible!"
"As for the leader of the Japanese Major General Brigade, Lao Chen, buy him a coffin, bury it, and set up a monument. If the Japanese want to take it back, take it back!"
The first regiment leader immediately replied: "Please rest assured, chief, and promise to complete the mission!"
Just as the commander of the first regiment was about to leave, the communications staff officer also rushed over with excitement.
"Commander, chief, good news, good news from the new regiment leader Wang, they have captured Linfen City!"
The commander was stunned for several seconds before he came to his senses. He stared at the communications staff and asked, "Wang Ping really captured Linfen City! That is a traffic artery heavily defended by the Japs!"
"Yes, we got it!" the communications staff officer affirmed!
"Okay, well done, Chief of Staff, we have a double blessing tonight!"
