Chapter 329 Special Operations Brigade Comes to Support
"It was finally blocked."
The Japanese division commander looked at the Eighth Route Army troops who were ready for battle and felt a sense of emotion.
At this time, the reinforcements from Peking were still unable to arrive, so there was no hope left in them.
In the early morning, the whole city was shrouded in a tense and depressing atmosphere.
The doors and windows of the houses on both sides of the street were closed, and the occasional barking of dogs broke the tranquility of the early morning.
The people all hid in their houses and dared not step out.
The atmosphere has reached its most tense moment.
Wang Lin stood at the highest point of the hillside, looking through a telescope at the city wall that had not yet been breached, with the Japanese flag still flying on it.
"I'm going to throw you down sooner or later."
"Attention, all brigades, prepare to attack!"
The order was issued as quickly as lightning, and commanders at all levels took action immediately and threw themselves into the final, tense and critical tactical deployment without hesitation.
"Boom! Boom! Boom! Boom..." Accompanied by the thunderous command, the artillery unit started up instantly, like a group of enraged beasts, roaring and launching a violent and torrential bombardment on the Japanese defenders and strongholds on the city wall.
Shells were ejected from the muzzles at an astonishing speed, carrying endless fury and power, like meteors across the sky, smashing heavily into the Japanese positions on the city wall.
In an instant, the entire city wall seemed to be engulfed in a sea of fire. The dazzling flames of the explosions rose and fell, illuminating the sky red.
Thick smoke billowed, obscuring the sky and the sun, making it almost impossible to see the scene ahead. A huge shock wave swept across everything, sending sand and rocks flying and destroying all vegetation.
Wang Lin, who was watching the battle from a distance, could still clearly feel the ground beneath his feet shaking constantly, as if a disturbed giant beast was struggling angrily.
This powerful firepower made him feel heroic and ambitious, and at the same time he felt extremely proud of the bravery of his own army.
At this time, the Japanese troops on the city wall were in extreme panic and chaos.
They fled and hid in panic, uttering all kinds of desperate curses and shouts.
"Baga Yalu! You bunch of damn Eighth Route Army soldiers! Stop bombing me!" A Japanese officer roared in frustration, his face full of fear and anger.
"Damn it! Where is our artillery? Why haven't the planes come to support us yet?"
Another soldier screamed hysterically as he desperately tried to find cover.
However, no matter how they cursed and complained, they could not change the cruel reality before them.
Our artillery fire continued to pour down like raindrops, mercilessly destroying the enemy's defense line.
……
The entire Japanese position was in chaos, and the soldiers fled everywhere to avoid the artillery bombardment. Unfortunately, no matter how far they ran, the huge shock wave and debris could reach them.
In an instant, the city wall was covered with blood and broken limbs were everywhere.
The scarlet blood even slowly flowed down the city wall.
"Division Commander! Let's take shelter in the air-raid shelter!"
The chief of staff reached out anxiously and grabbed the Japanese division commander's strong and powerful arm, using all his strength to drag him out the door.
However, the burly and aggressive division commander swung his arms and easily broke free from the chief of staff's hands.
"Get out of here! You coward! Your actions are a great insult to our Imperial Japanese Army!"
The Japanese division commander glared and started cursing at the chief of staff.
Faced with the division commander's scolding, the chief of staff was stunned at first, but quickly forced himself to calm down.
He just snorted coldly, narrowed his eyes slightly, and stared at the arrogant boss in front of him.
At this time, the Japanese division commander was staring intently at the detailed battle map in front of him, his sharp eyes always firmly fixed on the location of Peking.
Although his heart was already filled with doubts and anxieties, he still firmly believed that the Japanese commander would never be so heartless and unrighteous.
After all, Shizhuang City is a vital strategic point for Peking, and he absolutely does not believe that the commander-in-chief will sit idly by and do nothing.
Just as everyone was lost in their own thoughts, suddenly, there was a loud "boom". It turned out to be a powerful artillery shell whizzing towards them, landing squarely not far from their headquarters.
In an instant, the earth shook and an extremely powerful shock wave swept over with the force of a tidal wave.
The enormous impact force instantly knocked the battle map hanging on the wall to the ground, and the entire roof began to shake violently, as if it would collapse at any time.
The sudden and violent explosion was like a bolt from the blue, shocking everyone present so much that they couldn't help but tremble all over.
Everyone looked at each other, their faces filled with horror.
"Mr. Division Commander, please move to the air-raid shelter as soon as possible for shelter!" The chief of staff, not caring about his own safety, begged again.
But who would have thought that the Japanese division commander seemed to have heard nothing and still stood firmly in the same place, not moving at all.
Seeing the division commander so stubborn and obstinate, the chief of staff knew that no matter how hard he tried to persuade him, it would be in vain.
Helplessly, he could only sigh and turn away silently.
Time passed minute by minute, and no one knew how much time had passed before the thrilling bombardment finally stopped.
The surroundings returned to their former tranquility, but the air was filled with a strong smell of gunpowder, making people feel suffocated.
"Order the troops! Prepare to defend against the Eighth Route Army's attack! Hurry and replenish your forces!"
"Yes!"
At this time, on the other side, Wang Lin ordered the special operations brigade to stop the shelling and prepare to launch an attack on the entire line.
With a command, the entire offensive line rushed towards the city wall like a flood.
On the city wall, the remaining Japanese soldiers were on high alert, with machine guns standing everywhere.
As the Eighth Route Army soldiers approached, the guns on the city wall stopped firing from time to time.
The sounds of explosions and gunfire rang out one after another, and bullets drew deadly arcs in the air.
"Damn it! These little devils are really capable!"
Li Yunlong led his brave and fearless independent regiment and launched a fierce charge forward like a surging torrent.
However, the troops' advance came to an abrupt halt halfway because they encountered an extremely intensive firepower blockade by the Japanese army.
Seeing that his team was suppressed and unable to move forward, Li Yunlong was furious and started cursing at the top of his voice: "Damn it! How dare these damn Japanese devils block my way!
"Zhang Dabiao! You son of a bitch, hurry up and bring your men over and take down those devils' machine gun positions!"
"Yes! Commander!" Zhang Dabiao responded without hesitation.
Before he finished speaking, he flashed and quickly assembled a crack assault team, and like an arrow from a bow, they rushed straight towards the Japanese position that was constantly spewing flames.
Time passed minute by minute, and the battlefield was filled with a suffocating atmosphere of tension.
Suddenly, accompanied by a deafening roar, the Japanese positions on the city wall instantly turned into a sea of fire, and thick smoke rose into the sky.
Obviously, this brave commando team has completed its mission brilliantly and torn a huge hole in the enemy's defense line.
"Brothers, take turns covering each other and keep moving forward!" Li Yunlong waved the big knife in his hand and shouted at the top of his lungs.
After receiving the order, the soldiers cooperated with each other, took turns covering each other, and moved forward step by step with difficulty but determination.
Finally, they successfully crossed the towering city walls and broke into the city.
However, as soon as they stepped into the city, the scene before them made everyone gasp.
The shattered walls and the collapsed rocks scattered everywhere and piled up like mountains were like insurmountable obstacles, seriously hindering the independent regiment's advance.
Just as everyone was working hard to clear the road, a sudden and sharp explosion suddenly came from the flank.
Immediately afterwards, a burst of extremely sharp shouts resounded throughout the entire battlefield.
It turned out that the cunning Japanese army had already sent reinforcements in advance and set up a sinister ambush above the city wall, waiting for the Eighth Route Army to rush into the city and deliver a fatal blow.
In an instant, smoke filled the air, flames shot up into the sky, and the sound of gunfire from both sides rose and fell, interweaving into a symphony of death and destruction.
Every moment, lives are lost in this cruel war, and everywhere, blood is flowing, dyeing the earth red...
"Sniper! Watch your right!"
Zhang Dabiao quickly pointed to the top of the city wall and looked up to find the location of the Japanese army.
In that instant, the Japanese sniper fired continuously from a high position, and several soldiers fell to the ground, staining the ground red with blood.
"Don't panic, scatter and hide, then fight back!"
Li Yunlong commanded calmly, quickly adjusted tactics, and led his soldiers to shuttle through the collapsed brick walls and rubble, looking for cover.
The troops gradually approached the defense line of the city wall, and the two sides engaged in fierce hand-to-hand combat in the narrow trenches and fortifications.
The sounds of gunfire, swords clashing, screams and explosions intertwined into one, and the air was filled with the smell of blood and gunpowder.
"Grenade! Take cover!"
A soldier shouted, then detonated a grenade and threw it out.
In an instant, the Japanese defense line was blown to pieces and the positions were forced to retreat, which bought precious time for the independent regiment to attack.
Li Yunlong seized the opportunity and led his elite troops into the city.
The streets were ablaze with flames, houses were destroyed by artillery fire, and the ruins were covered with countless scars and bloodstains.
Every step forward the soldiers had to go through was a fight with the Japanese army, looking for cover in the ruins, and constantly engaging in fierce fire with the Japanese reinforcements.
Suddenly, a burst of gunfire was heard from behind a collapsed building, and several Japanese soldiers broke out from the rubble.
Li Yunlong did not hesitate and led a team of soldiers to quickly encircle the enemy. Within just a few minutes, the enemy was almost completely wiped out.
On the other side, Ding Wei led other troops to successfully break through the city gate and rushed into the city.
At this time, except for the weaker Eighth Route Army combat units on the north and south sides, all the others entered the city and started fighting.
At this time, at the Japanese command headquarters, the Japanese division commander took out his samurai sword and looked at it with a serious expression.
He didn't expect that he would actually fail now.
The scene I imagined when I joined the imperial army, returning in triumph...
That is no longer possible.
"rub!"
He suddenly drew out his samurai sword, and through the flashing cold light of the blade, he comprehended the truth of the moment.
