    Chapter 338 Encirclement and Annihilation on the Western Front (6)

    On Highland No. 4, the Chinese soldiers occupying the trenches began to secretly dig tunnels according to the instructions of the engineer company commander.  The Japanese bunker no longer blindly exposed its firepower points. On Highland 4, there was an unusual silence in the war-torn battlefield.

    Chinese soldiers filled the soil from digging tunnels with sacks and piled them on both sides of the trenches, making it look like they were reinforcing the trenches.  The four tunnels were secretly extending. In three days, the four tunnels finally approached the Japanese bunker.

    At the end of the tunnel, the Chinese soldiers carefully dug out a chamber with a radius of about ten square meters, and secretly transported boxes of TNT to fill four chambers.  The electrical detonation device was connected, and then the Chinese soldiers in the trenches secretly retreated to a safe position.

    The engineer pressed the detonation button, and several dull loud noises were heard. A thick black mushroom cloud rose on Highland No. 4, and gravel and mud rolled up with the air waves of the explosion.  The gun that exploded close to the Japanese bunker lifted the Japanese bunker into the air.

    When the violent explosions gradually stopped, the Chinese soldiers rushed up to the high ground with guns in hand. When they looked closer, they were all shocked. They saw that the Japanese bunker had been blown into a huge crater with a diameter of nearly 30 meters.  There were still some remaining Japanese soldiers who were stunned by the violent explosion. They sat on the ground stupidly, half of their bodies buried in the dirt.

    The submachine guns in the hands of the Chinese soldiers were pointed at these Japanese soldiers who were surviving the disaster and they pulled the trigger. "Dudududu" tongues of fire licked the bodies of the Japanese soldiers, and flowers of blood bloomed on the Japanese soldiers' bodies.

    Then, the flamethrowers aimed at the pit and sprayed out several fire dragons, turning everything in the pit into flames.

    After taking the No. 4 high ground, the Chinese Expeditionary Force launched attacks at the same time on the remaining high ground. Five days later, all seven major high ground around the Japanese were captured.

    ??The Chinese soldiers were condescending and established artillery positions on positions 3 and 4 in the center. The 75th mountain gun was mounted on the top of the mountain and fired at the hilly areas between the highlands.

    That night, General Chen Mingren sent dozens of small teams to secretly approach the hilly areas between the highlands. The mission of these soldiers was fire reconnaissance.  Find out the distribution of enemy firepower points.

    A small team of seven or eight soldiers, led by the captain, quietly reached the hilly area between position 6 and position 7.  The captain called the soldier who was carrying the radio, took the radio, and sent a message to the command center that he had arrived at the designated location.

    At the headquarters, Major General Wen Yimo, the chief of staff responsible for commanding this fire reconnaissance mission, calmly listened to the reports of each team.  When all the teams reached their designated positions, Wen Jiangjun gave a clear and calm order: "Start attacking!"

    Almost at the same time, all the teams opened fire on the hilly areas.  At a distance of 600 meters behind the team, the Chinese soldiers who were ambushing the starting position shouted loudly and fired fiercely at the hilly area with their submachine guns.

    The Japanese bunker group was surprisingly quiet, and there was no counterattack at all.  Six minutes later, the Chinese soldiers at the starting position stopped shooting, and the small team lurking at the Japanese front opened fire violently.

    Tongues of fire flickered brightly in the dark night, and occasionally the sound of grenades exploding could be heard.  Sure enough, the Japanese bunkers could no longer keep their composure. All the bunker groups opened fire at the same time, and the firepower points were spitting out tongues of fire, like poisonous snakes spitting out messages.  The night sky is particularly ferocious.

    The soldiers in the team who are responsible for marking the enemy's fire points should quickly memorize the distribution of the enemy's fire points.  The soldiers responsible for the feint attack kept moving areas and continued to shoot at the Japanese.  This attack lasted for 20 minutes before the Chinese soldiers stopped and retreated to their positions.

    The returning team immediately reported the distribution of the detected enemy firepower points to the headquarters.  The staff officers were busy marking the firepower points of the Japanese bunkers discovered on the sand table, and small red flags were placed on the sand table.

    Chen Mingren and other senior generals gathered around the sand table and looked at the distribution of firepower points exposed by the Japanese army on the sand table. The hilly areas between the highlands were covered with small red flags.

    Chief of Staff Wen Yimo held a baton in his hand and said with a serious face: "Everyone, please see, this is the firepower point currently exposed by the Japanese army. It is rigorously distributed, the firing areas overlap, and the Japanese defensive firepower is not weak. It is estimated that there are still some horizontal fires.  gun or anti-tank gun equipment."

    Chen Mingren had a sullen face and slapped his hand hard, causing the table to shake slightly.  "Red and Black use Molotov cocktails to burn this guy!"

    At the artillery position of the Chinese Expeditionary Force, the ammunition hand was busy transporting the artillery shells marked with incendiary bombs to the position.  When the time for the general attack came, the Chinese artillery opened fire in unison, and artillery shells rained down on the Japanese positions.

    The shell did not make a loud noise, but a "puff" sound came, and then the fire roared.  A large number of incendiary bombs landed accurately next to the Japanese bunker, and some even landed directly on the top of the bunker.  The incendiary agent was released, as if aThe fire dragon, which had been restrained for a long time, suddenly broke free and burned wantonly.

    The Chinese artillery delivered tens of thousands of incendiary bombs to the Japanese positions. The Japanese bunkers were a sea of ??fire, with flames rising and smoke covering the sky.  The fierce flames dried up the water on the ground, scorched the earth, and evaporated the moisture in the soil.  The Japanese bunker group was burned by the high temperature, and many Japanese soldiers in the bunker were burned to the point of fainting.

    For a whole day, the Chinese infantry did not launch an attack, but only fired incendiary bombs at regular intervals.

    The next day, after breakfast, Chinese cannons began to roar.  This time it was the artillery shells that were replaced. Groups of artillery shells fell on the Japanese bunkers, and a loud noise was heard.  The dry and cracked Japanese positions were burned by incendiary bombs, and dust was flying.

    Forty minutes later, the infantry began to attack.  When the infantry rushed to about 100 meters away from the Japanese bunker group, the remaining Japanese bunker spit out tongues of fire fiercely, but the firepower intensity was greatly weakened.  It seems that there are not many Japanese soldiers who can survive by chance.

    The Chinese infantry advanced one after another, using the smoke of exploding grenades and rifle grenades to approach the Japanese bunker step by step.  Use rifle grenades to kill the remaining enemy bunkers, and finally clear out all the enemy strongholds outside.

    The Chinese *** team opened a gap from the west and approached the Japanese city defenses. The Miyazaki division commander only had about 4,000 troops left.  On the southern defense line, the Japanese artillery fire was frequently suppressed. Chen Mingren judged that the south was the focus of the Japanese defense, so the Chinese troops in that direction were only blocking the Japanese breakout.

    Chen Mingren focused his artillery fire on the west gate of Wenduo. The fierce fire destroyed the west gate wall and created a gap of about ten meters wide.  Under the cover of two tank battalions, the infantry launched a fierce attack on the west gate.

    Chinese soldiers entered Wenduo, but the Japanese army still persisted in resisting. The battle did not go as smoothly as the Chinese soldiers expected. The small town of Wenduo was painstakingly managed by the Japanese army and established a multi-layered defense line with endless firepower points.

    Chinese soldiers were forced to engage in arduous street fighting. General Chen Mingren ordered the soldiers to fight in small teams. Each team was equipped with a mortar or flat-fire cannon and a grenade launcher.

    In addition, experienced sharpshooters were specially selected from the two group armies to form a sniper unit, commanded by the commander of their own special agent company, specializing in attacking Japanese officers and machine gunners.  All sniper rifles were unified into Japanese 38 rifles, and a lot of Japanese ammunition was captured. Besides, the ammunition of the Chinese Expeditionary Force can also be used by the Japanese army.

    The west gate is controlled by the Chinese army and becomes the starting position of the army.  Groups of soldiers armed with submachine guns searched along both sides of the street.

    300 meters away from the west gate, there is a small three-story building with a reinforced concrete structure, which controls two nearby street intersections. This is a fortress specially built by the Japanese army and used as the main stronghold to control the street intersections.

    The Xiaoyanglou is the tallest building in this area, and a reinforced team of the Japanese army is stationed here.  The Chinese soldiers advanced to within 100 meters of the small building, and the Japanese soldiers upstairs began shooting wildly.

    The wide shooting range and three-dimensional firepower layout tightly controlled the nearby streets.  Several tentative attacks by the Chinese soldiers were beaten back by fierce Japanese firepower.

    A tank received an order to reinforce the infantry attack.  The tank slowly approached the small western-style building. Suddenly, there was a flash of fire on the building, and a 47 anti-tank gun opened fire.  The shells dragged white smoke and slammed into the Chinese tank.  "Boom", the tank's frontal armor was penetrated, and the tank crew and gunner were hit by exploding shrapnel and died.  The machine gunner on the cockpit immediately jumped off the tank, and the Chinese infantry next to him quickly opened fire to cover the tank soldiers.

    The team leader immediately used the radio to request reinforcements. Soon, two tanks adjusted their muzzles at the west gate according to the coordinates reported by the team, and aimed at the small building to blast fiercely.  One of the artillery shells accurately penetrated the window of the three-story building and "boomed", killing the anti-tank gunner.

    Under the cover of tanks, the infantry quickly captured Xiaoyanglou, and the Chinese infantry established a reliable starting position at the west gate.  A platoon of Chinese soldiers occupied the small foreign-style building, commanding a commanding position, and relied on firepower to suppress nearby Japanese firepower points.

    Several snipers took the opportunity to enter the small foreign building and each chose their fighting position.  The small foreign-style building is the commanding heights in this area, and the sniper is commanding from a high position. The movement of the Japanese soldiers on the street can be seen clearly by the sniper.

    Several snipers fired unceremoniously and frequently, killing all the seven or eight Japanese soldiers exposed on the street.

    The brutal street fighting lasted for three days. 95% of the Japanese strongholds in Wenduo were captured, and only a few firepower points were left to resist.  The remaining Japanese soldiers were compressed into a palm-sized area.

    The commander of the Miyazaki Division finally issued the order to break out. The remaining nearly a thousand Japanese soldiers broke out that night, but were discovered by the Chinese soldiers who had been prepared. After a night of fierce fighting, the Japanese soldiers were wiped out.  Fortunately, the Miyazaki division commander broke out under the protection of the guards and went straight to the Japanese outer positions in Nancheng.

    The Chinese Expeditionary Force captured Wendo and surrounded the last remaining Japanese troops outside the southern city of Wendo.  Lieutenant General MiyazakiLooking at the soldiers around him with despair, these imperial soldiers, who were usually extremely arrogant, were now like bereft dogs, with numb expressions.
