- Chapter 343: Allied Forces Retake Burma (5)
The gunner pushed the cannon from behind while advancing against the wooden table. The Japanese bullets hit the wooden table with a thumping sound, but they could not completely penetrate the thick cotton wool.
The artilleryman finally pushed the flat-firing cannon into position, put the shell on top with a "clatter", pulled the breech, and made several loud "booms".
Several large holes were blown out of the Japanese bunker. The inside of the bunker was in a mess, with broken limbs flying everywhere. The Japanese flat-fire cannon fired several rapid fires one after another, chipping away the top of the Japanese bunker. Bullets fired from the Japanese bunker killed all several Japanese artillerymen.
The Japanese soldiers in the bunker resisted extremely tenaciously. Under their cover, the Japanese soldiers behind the sandbag fortifications became even more arrogant, with heavy machine guns spitting out tongues of fire ferociously.
Several Japanese soldiers who were good at artillery quickly rushed out of their positions under the cover of their own firepower, ran to the flat-fire artillery, and fired several rounds at the Japanese bunker.
The whistling shells hit the bunker, and with a loud "boom, boom, boom" sound, the upper floor of the bunker on the left was blown down, and the artillery in the bunker was blown up. The enemy's bunker on the right saw the artillery in the bunker next to it being blown up, and even madly aimed at the anti-aircraft guns and opened fire.
A fierce rain of bullets poured down next to the cannon, and the bullets made a tinkling sound on the shield. The Japanese soldiers braved the rain of bullets, adjusted the muzzle of the gun, and fired several shots at the Japanese bunker on the right, knocking the Japanese artillery into silence.
**The infantry seized the opportunity, and a battalion rushed forward, firing while evading maneuvers. They suffered a full platoon of casualties before they rushed to the sandbags.
Ten meters away from the sandbags, the Japanese soldiers threw grenades together, and a burst of explosion smoke rose. The Japanese soldiers behind the sandbags suffered heavy casualties. The Japanese soldiers rushed to the sandbags, rolled over the sandbags with a tiger leap, and occupied several heavy machine gun positions.
This kind of heavy machine gun position is formed into a circle with sandbags, and a platform is piled with sandbags in the middle, which has a certain protective effect. A platoon of Japanese soldiers occupied four heavy machine gun fortifications, set up their machine guns, and fired fiercely at the Japanese bunkers.
The two sides were only 30 meters apart. The Japanese machine guns blocked the Japanese machine gun shooting holes. The fierce firepower immediately suppressed the Japanese machine guns.
The infantrymen squatted on the other side of the sandbags, relying on the cover of the sandbags, and submachine gun fire blocked the Japanese rifle shooting holes. At this time, two Japanese soldiers, holding the sandbags, made a beautiful roll over the sandbags. Climb quickly towards the Japanese bunker.
The continuous fire performance of the Japanese machine gun is far inferior to the continuous ammunition supply of the ammunition belt of the Japanese heavy machine gun. The firepower of the Japanese heavy machine gun suppresses the Japanese machine gun. The Japanese soldiers had no chance to shoot at all, and dense bullets kept flying into the shooting hole.
The two soldiers quickly climbed to the lower end of the bunker and found a blind spot for shooting. The two soldiers placed a gun bag under the bunker on the left side. The two lit the fuse, rolled back, and quickly crawled to a safe area behind.
With two earth-shaking loud bangs, two large holes were blown out of the bottom of the Japanese bunker, thick smoke billowed, and the miserable howls of the Japanese soldiers could be heard. The bunker was crumbling, swaying from side to side. After a while, the bottom layer of the bunker was so thin that it could not bear the weight of the bunker. The bunker collapsed with a roar.
All the Japanese soldiers were crushed in the ruins and turned into a puddle of flesh.
The Japanese bunker on the right fired desperately, covering a squadron of Japanese soldiers to counterattack. In addition to these two bunkers at the head of the bridge, the Japanese also built a fortification on the approach section in front of the bridge, which was the last line of defense.
The loss of a bunker was a huge blow to the Japanese. If another bunker was also blown up, the Japanese soldiers guarding the bridge could only rely on the last line of defense.
The Japanese soldiers who counterattacked, roaring, rushing up crazily with light machine guns in hand. The machine guns in the sandbag fortifications and the heavy machine guns covering the positions fired at once, and the violent bullets formed a barrage.
The charging Japanese soldiers were immediately shot down. They charged three times with force, but were repulsed each time.
The ** flat artillery fired unceremoniously and fired several shells in succession, destroying the remaining Japanese bunkers.
The follow-up troops immediately shouted and rushed towards the bridge. In front of the bridge, the Chinese and Japanese sides launched a fierce hand-to-hand battle. After 40 minutes of bloody fighting, the three infantry regiments finally wiped out the 800 Japanese defenders.
Division Commander Wang Shenyuan also rushed to the bridge and immediately organized troops to deploy defenses to prevent the Japanese troops from escaping from the bridge. The Chinese ** team sealed the block 600 meters in front of the bridge with sandbags and built a line of defense.
The houses on both sides of the block were used as fortresses by the anti-Japanese soldiers to build blocking positions. Wang Shenyuan loudly reported to Weng Zhaoyuan in a building: "Report! Commander, I have captured Jiangqiao and am setting up a blocking position!"
Weng Zhaoyuan smiled easily, "Well done! Commander Wang! Now your task is to protect the bridge and don't let a single Japanese soldier go."
Wang Shenyuan immediately sent a battalion across the bridge and built a bridgehead formation on the west bank of the bridge.??, as a backup position.
In the blocking position, the Japanese soldiers quickly counted the loot, set up all the Japanese machine guns that could be used, and collected all the grenades.
While everyone was busy, a tank battalion came over. Yue Hanping learned that Jiangqiao had been captured. He was afraid that the defenders did not have heavy equipment, so he immediately sent a tank battalion to support. Wang Shenyuan used the several blocks next to the bridge as a mobile defense area for tanks, allowing tanks to patrol back and forth and cooperate with infantry guards.
General Kenkichi Ueda was horrified when he heard that Jiangqiao had been lost. His only escape route was cut off, so he could only fight to the death in the city. If that's the case, sooner or later they will be eaten by the Chinese team.
Therefore, the general urgently ordered a regiment to counterattack and must recapture Jiangqiao.
The person responsible for the counterattack mission was Colonel Hashimoto Longgang. After accepting the mission, the colonel took a shortcut and went straight to Jiangqiao. The cunning colonel was very cautious and ordered his troops to penetrate through their own positions as much as possible.
Finally approaching Jiangqiao, the leading soldier from the front came back to report, "Your Excellency Colonel! There are Chinese guards in Block 9 and Block 10. They are blocking our attack route."
Colonel Hashimoto nodded slightly, indicating that he understood. The colonel thought for a moment, then waved his hand and passed through the wall.
So the Japanese soldiers rushed into the houses on both sides of the street, took out their engineering picks, and dug holes wall by wall. Although the speed was much slower, there were no casualties among the soldiers.
Continuously passing through the houses on both sides of the street, we finally approached the house guarded by the Central Government. The Japanese soldiers no longer dared to use engineer pickaxes to dig holes, fearing that the sound would alert the squadron.
When the colonel got the previous report, he rolled his eyes and realized the plan. The messenger quickly conveyed the colonel's order. A squadron of Japanese soldiers quietly got out of the house and attacked the squadron position in front.
The fierce gunfire attracted the attention of the Chinese soldiers. Chinese soldiers occupied the houses and opened fire from the windows. Block the Japanese attack.
Fierce gunfire rang out, Colonel Hashimoto smiled slightly, "Hurry and dig a hole!"
The Japanese soldiers took the opportunity to dig holes with engineer picks and drilled through two houses. In front of them was the house occupied by the Japanese. The Japanese soldiers could hear the fierce gunshots coming from next door.
Colonel Hashimoto grimaced and ordered the wall to be blown open with gunfire. Now that we have reached this point, we no longer have to be afraid of revealing our purpose. So the soldiers leaned against a small gun bag at the base of the wall and lit the fuse.
"Boom" the bomb exploded and a big hole was blown into the wall. The Japanese soldier next to him was blown away by the blast of air and had no time to react. A burst of fierce bullets from the Japanese soldiers came over, and several soldiers were knocked to the ground.
The Japanese soldiers in the house opened fire immediately, and the soldiers upstairs also fired fierce bullets. Several Japanese soldiers who rushed through the wall were immediately shot to the ground.
Suddenly, a few grenades were thrown from the Japanese side, and there was an explosion, and all the Japanese soldiers in the house fell to pieces. Almost all the Japanese soldiers on the first floor were killed, and the soldiers on the second floor immediately opened fire with submachine guns and fired back with Japanese grenades.
For a moment, the house was filled with gunshots and explosions. The Japanese soldiers finally occupied the house by virtue of their large numbers.
A large group of Japanese soldiers suddenly appeared in front of the Japanese soldiers, and the two sides launched a fierce battle to seize the house. Some Japanese soldiers clung to the houses and opened fire on the gunmen occupying the houses on both sides of the street. Some of them continued to penetrate the wall and fought with the Chinese soldiers house by house.
The Japanese tactics attracted the attention of the Japanese. Division Commander Wang Shenyuan detached a battalion, bypassed the side of Block 9, and attacked the Japanese from behind.
The battalion commander led the soldiers around the block and quietly appeared behind the Japanese. Japanese soldiers also walked through the houses and quietly approached the Japanese soldiers.
There were one and a half companies of Chinese soldiers each following the Japanese soldiers on both sides of the street, and finally approached the Japanese soldiers. Several Japanese soldiers ducked into a house, and the shaking figures of Japanese soldiers could be seen from the entrance of the cave.
Without saying a word, the Japanese soldier threw a row of grenades over, and a violent explosion sounded, and the Japanese soldiers next to him fell down. There was a burst of shouting in the room: "There are Chinese people! There are Chinese people behind me!"
Before the Japanese could react, a burst of submachine gun bullets shot past. The Japanese soldiers in the room stared and fell down. Japanese soldiers rushed over, and Japanese soldiers rushed in from outside.
The two sides faced each other and fired at each other. A burst of gunfire passed, and the Japanese soldiers and Japanese soldiers all fell in a pool of blood. On the street outside, the Japanese troops frequently fired at the Japanese troops using the shelters on the street.
The fighting on the street became more and more intense. The Japanese soldiers were panicked when they discovered that there was a gun attack from behind. The first battalion in front also attacked along the street.
The Japanese soldiers had no choice but to occupy the houses on both sides of the street and rely on the houses to resist the Japanese counterattack.
The Japanese offensive was contained, and Commander Wang Shenyuan Yan?The 603rd Regiment in front of them resolutely defended their position. At the same time, another battalion was transferred from the 601st Regiment, detoured from Block 10, and formed a pincer attack with the detoured battalion in front. In order to unify the command, he specially sent the chief of staff to follow the operation and unified the command of the two battalions to counterattack.
The four infantry artillery pieces carried by the Japanese counterattack troops set up positions on top of the four occupied houses and kept firing at nearby gunfire. The attacking troops suffered serious losses and had to temporarily hide in houses.
The Japanese rearguard troops frequently exchanged fire with the attackers who were following them. Every house and every bunker on the street was a fierce battle between the two sides.
Bullets were flying on the streets, and grenades exploded in front of the strongholds of both sides from time to time. The soldiers held on tenaciously, and no one refused to take a step back.
