    Chapter 409 Street Fighting

    The soldiers crawled and leaped forward, making clever use of various concealments. They were soon close to the Japanese fortress. As long as they attacked for another ten meters, they were done. The company commander breathed a sigh of relief. When the main force of the battalion came up, it was time to clean up the battlefield.  This sharp knife company of mine is not given for free!

    Suddenly, all the hidden shooting holes in the building came to life, and they were all heavy machine guns. The dense bullets rained down on a row of soldiers. In an instant, more than thirty soldiers fell into a pool of blood.  , some soldiers' bodies were beaten with blood by the Japanese heavy machine guns. The cluster grenades on the soldiers were detonated. With a loud noise, the young bodies of the soldiers turned into a wisp of smoke over North China.

    The sudden change shocked the first company commander. The Japanese still had this skill. Without any hesitation, he immediately led the second platoon to conduct a second attack. The result was the same. Under the intensive crossfire of the Japanese army, the second platoon was defeated.  There were more than thirty soldiers in the queue, but less than ten came back alive.

    On the wide road, in the dim light of the war, the corpses of the soldiers, under the crazy shooting of the Japanese machine guns, were covered with blood, convulsing violently, and seemed to be alive, suffering from severe torture.

    The first company commander was dragged back by two wounded soldiers. He was hit by four machine gun bullets. One of the bullets entered from the heart. The health worker tried desperately to stop the bleeding of his company commander. The snow-white gauze could not stop the gushing blood.  , the first company commander pointed to the pocket of the military uniform with difficulty, his eyes quickly dimmed, and a young life disappeared.

    The deputy company commander took out a photo from his blood-stained pocket, one corner of which was soaked in blood. The photo showed a kind old mother with gray hair, telling the vicissitudes of time. On the back was written, "Fengtian Fushun Su"  Jiatun.¡±

    The deputy company commander wiped away his tears. Knowing that this was the company commander's request, he put the photo into the hygienist's hand and told him: "When the little devil is beaten away, you go to the company commander's house and take a look at it for all of us. Remember  ?" The hygienist nodded with tears in his eyes.

    The deputy company commander picked up a bundle of cluster grenades and stared at the Japanese stronghold spitting out flames with burning eyes. It was these damn little devils who took the lives of more than 60 people in our company. The company commander, whom he regarded as his brother,  Also killed in action.

    He suddenly rushed out from behind the cover, but was almost pulled back by a pair of big hands. When he turned around, it turned out that the battalion commander was coming up with the second and third companies.

    No need to ask, the numerous corpses of the soldiers and the tongues of flames from the Japanese strongholds all told it all. The battalion commander¡¯s face was ashen, and his heart was in sharp pain. This was his most elite company, fighting on the outskirts of Tianjin, unscathed. Now,  But most of it was destroyed here.

    He also saw the problem. A hard attack would definitely not work. The battalion commander ordered the machine gun company to bring up the mortars. Even if they were bombarded, they would level the Japanese stronghold!

    Twelve mortars, a burst of shells, and the Japanese sandbag fortress collapsed in the explosion. The broken limbs of the Japanese soldiers inside were flying all over the sky.

    However, the buildings on both sides were not damaged at all. The mortar shells only blasted a few shallow craters on the outer walls of the building. There was no damage to the main building. The Japanese firepower was still so dense and crazy.

    The crossfire from the buildings on both sides was like the upper and lower jaws of a poisonous snake, tightly blocking the path forward of the Northeast Advance Second Brigade, Regiment and Battalion. From the intercom, the regimental commander's voice came asking about the progress. After receiving the report,  The regiment leader was silent. All the attacking units of his regiment encountered similar situations. The advancement of the troops was blocked and large casualties occurred.

    The attacking force was blocked and engaged in fierce street fighting with the Japanese army. The casualties occurred and were quickly reported to Liu Tiehan, the commander of the attacking corps. He immediately understood that the Japanese commander in Tianjin had adjusted his tactics and wanted to take advantage of the complex terrain in the urban area.  Have a melee with us, consume a lot of our troops, delay time, and wait for reinforcements.

    He immediately changed his deployment, and all artillery units immediately moved into the city. According to the standard of equipping each attack arrow with two large-caliber artillery, when encountering Japanese resistance with buildings, they immediately leveled the particularly strong fortifications, equipped with four to six  Cannon.

    At this time, four hours had passed since the launch of the general offensive. Liu Tiehan was also anxious. Less than half the time specified by the division commander had passed, and the troops were still attacking key points held by the Japanese army piece by piece. If this continued, ten  Taking over Tianjin in just an hour was just empty talk, so he issued a kill order and leveled it!

    The artillery units staying in the outer positions of Tianjin were originally prepared for the Japanese counterattack troops. According to Liu Tiehan's prediction, the Japanese troops in the urban area will definitely launch a fierce counterattack after the troops invade the urban area.

    This is best. The troops pretend to retreat, attract the Japanese counterattack troops to the periphery, and use the firepower advantage to eliminate them. As a senior general, he knows the city¡¯sIt's hard to fight in the city.

    This Japanese commander is not simple, so he was not fooled?  If the Japanese army doesn't come out, my artillery will enter the city and use the artillery to fight a street battle.

    Soon, the artillery unit entered the city and advanced northeastward to attack the target of the second brigade, regiment and battalion. Six large-caliber artillery came. The soldiers cheered and worked together to place the artillery. The Japanese army's goal was so  obvious.

    The six artillery pieces were divided into two groups and fired at close range. At this time, the power was displayed. The solid building that the mortars could not help was blown into smoke and dust by the large-caliber artillery. The fire was shining, and the shells penetrated through the windows. Every explosion was heard.  Several corpses of Japanese soldiers were thrown out.

    The Japanese firepower points that were extremely rampant just now became mute and stopped shooting one after another, for fear of becoming the next target of bombardment. The artillerymen did not care about this. The order they received was to bombard any Japanese strongholds that encountered resistance.  , which means that if we don¡¯t smash these two dozen-storey buildings into rubble, we have failed to complete the task.

    In the building on the left, a white flag suddenly stretched out. It was particularly conspicuous in the flash of artillery fire. The Japanese couldn't stand it anymore and surrendered. The soldiers of the first battalion cheered. The artillery was still powerful!

    More than 150 soldiers of the second company rushed out of the hidden bunker and prepared to rush into the building to capture the prisoners. The soldier of the special operations unit who was the guide was too late to stop them. He was a veteran of the Army Division. When he was in the Northeast, he  Fighting bloody battles with the Japanese, knowing the virtues of the little Japanese, he can use any crooked tricks.

    He just waved a white flag but didn't throw out the gun. There was fraud in it. He shouted loudly: "Get back quickly, the Japanese are pretending to surrender!" As soon as he finished speaking, the silent building suddenly shot out dense bullets, more than a hundred people in a row.  At that time, more than 80 people fell. The remaining soldiers, seeing that the situation was not good, fell down on the spot, and were hit by a dense rain of bullets. More than a dozen of them were hit.

    A well-organized company lost more than half of its members in an instant due to the despicable Japanese army. The battalion commander was shocked. He had never seen such despicable soldiers. His own soldiers were standing in front of them without any obstruction.  On the road, they suffered from crazy shooting by the Japanese army.

    The silent artillery roared again. This time it was a concentrated artillery fire. Two cannons were aimed at the first floor and kept firing. One cannon covered the retreat of the second company. Under the cover of artillery fire, the remaining fifty or so of the second company  The soldiers, all injured, finally retreated to a hidden bunker.

    A battalion commander was about to cry. His battalion was crippled in front of these two buildings. He suddenly became furious, took off his arms, and loaded box after box of shells in front of the artillery. He kept going.  Shout, blast hard, and kill these weaklings.

    The artillerymen were also angered by the Japanese's despicableness. They turned their anger into cannonballs. Every time the shooter pulled the gun bolt, he roared. The two buildings were blazing under the fierce bombardment.  Shaky.

    From the windows of the buildings on both sides, white flags were stretched out again, like dogs wagging their tails begging for mercy. Light and heavy machine guns and rifles were also thrown out one after another. This time, the Japanese really couldn't hold them back.

    The first battalion commander shouted: "Keep fighting, and when we get out, I will go to the superior to receive the punishment. These are not humans, they are beasts!" Ten minutes later, two buildings with more than ten stories high collapsed, throwing up dust.  , soaring into the sky.

    According to statistics from the battlefield cleanup afterwards, there were two squadrons of Japanese troops in these two buildings. Except for those who were killed by artillery shells, the rest were buried in the place where they committed their despicable acts. This is a price that should be paid.

    Similar situations were staged in different directions of attack. From then on, the soldiers of the units under the Northeast Advance Command all understood the true meaning of the old troops of the ** Division not to keep Japanese prisoners. These are not human beings.  They are beasts, you can only treat them the way you treat beasts!

    "It's just that this kind of understanding was obtained at the cost of blood. Many good brothers and comrades-in-arms have fallen in love with their kind wishes, which is enough to make the soldiers unforgettable, unforgettable for life, and fully implement them.

    With the help of artillery and the clearing of extraction points, the advance speed of the attacking troops has been greatly accelerated. In Tianjin, the Japanese defense area has gradually shrunk and been compressed towards the center. The Japanese army has lost its momentum and its fate of being completely wiped out cannot be changed.  , they were just resisting in a corner. Even if their Amaterasu and the Emperor came in person, they could not save the lives of more than 60,000 Japanese troops.

    The street fighting in Tianjin is in full swing. Tang Qiuli, who is waiting in Langfang area at the junction of Beijing and Tianjin, has his neck stretched out. The days of waiting are very boring. The fighting in Tianjin is lively. The attack has been going on for more than four hours. No matter how slow his reaction is, he must  Is there any movement?  The Japanese reinforcements in Peiping have been missing for a long time. What kind of idea did Xiangyue Qingji have?

    Not only him, but all the troops involved in the blockade and reinforcements have this idea. Except for the more than 40,000 troops of the 29th Army, the rest are the number one main brigade of the ** Division and are used to fighting against large forces.?The meat-eating war, staying here for a long time, can only say "wait".

    Listening to the bursts of artillery fire behind me in the direction of Tianjin, my heart felt like a cat scratching. I don't know what the division commander was thinking. He left the main force alone and ran here to get bitten by mosquitoes. He looked back in the direction of Tianjin.  The firelight, and then looking at the pitch-black and dead wilderness in front of me, I felt depressed.

    The outpost reported that the Japanese troops in Peiping were divided into two groups, passing through Langfang and Hexiwu, heading towards Tianjin. The forwards had reached Fengheying and Chaichangtun, with a strength of about 100,000, equipped with a large number of tanks and armored vehicles.
