"Boom, boom, boom!!"

The artillery battalion of the Independent Brigade used the scale of artillery fire equivalent to the two artillery brigades of Little Devil to carry out a fierce artillery bombardment of the Japanese fortifications on the inner and outer periphery of Maojiasoo Town.

I saw that in the early morning and night, on the periphery of Maojiasoo Town, some clearly visible defensive positions of the Japanese army that had been hastily repaired were suddenly shrouded in the fierce artillery fire of the Independent Brigade.

One after another, the shells whistled and smashed down and exploded violently. The strong light of the explosion illuminated the defensive positions built by the little devils on the periphery of Maojiasoap Town, and the huge explosion wave directly overturned the devil soldiers who had no time to hide in the trenches.

And the explosion of air accompanied by the explosion of the shells after the debris flew around at high speed, all living things were affected, and immediately shredded the devil soldiers who could not dodge.

Some of the buildings in the outermost part of Maojiasoo Town were quickly blown into ruins by the artillery fire of the Independent Brigade. Many of the devil soldiers hiding in the buildings will be killed and buried in the rubble.

According to Li Yunlong's battle plan, the siege of Maojiasoo Town this time was to storm from the three main directions of the north and south and near the western railway. The first regiment attacked the west, the second regiment attacked the south, and the third regiment attacked the north. Sun Desheng's cavalry battalion and Duan Peng'er special operations battalion were to pin down the east in order to completely encircle the remnants of the Japanese 313th Wing in the town.

The coordination of infantry and artillery at night is already very familiar to all units of the independent brigade.

I saw that after Wang Chengzhu commanded the artillery battalion to bomb indiscriminately for five minutes, the three regiments of the main attack launched an infantry attack and advanced.

At this time, on the roof of the tallest building in Maojiasoo Town, that is, on the highest roof of the squire's mansion where the 313th Wing was located in the town, Masuda Kentai and Chief of Staff Kusunoki Kotaro observed the shelling of the Independent Brigade with binoculars with solemn eyes.

"Li Yunlong has really made a lot of money, at least the size of two artillery brigades. At least fifteen or more Type 92 infantry guns of 70 mm caliber were bombarding our perimeter defensive positions, and the small detachments of the perimeter defense were probably exhausted. Masuda Kentai took the telescope and looked at the fortifications built in a ring around Maojiasoo Town, and couldn't help but smile bitterly and said to Kusunoki Kotaro on the side.

Kusunoki Kotaro was quite helpless, and Li Yunlong's independent brigade was dispatched this time to maneuver in the mode of full cavalry.

After taking the railway bridge over the Kouquan River, crossing the river to the north and capturing the blocking position of their wing on the north bank of the Kouquan River, it was too fast to chase all the way north to Maojiaso.

If they had more time, about half an hour or so, to repair more fortifications in Maojiasoap Town, they would have been able to complete Miyano Taro's strict order to defend Maojiasoap Town for an hour and a half.

It's just that looking at the scale of the shelling of this independent brigade at the moment, I'm afraid it's not easy.

"Your Excellency, it is estimated that there are not many people left in the outer defense detachment! You see, the shelling of the Separate Brigade is decreasing and is extending into the town! Kusunoki Kotaro suddenly pointed to the shelling of the independent brigade that was beginning to weaken on the outskirts of Maojiasoo Town, and said in a condensed voice.

Masuda Kentai was familiar with the taste of the battlefield, and at a glance he understood the movements of the independent brigade, "This is to stop the large-scale artillery bombardment quickly, their infantry is coming up!" The 2nd Infantry Brigade and the 3rd Infantry Brigade were ordered to block the attack with all their might. Put the infantry of the Independent Brigade into Maojiasoo Town, and we will fight street battles with the Independent Brigade. In this way, the massive artillery fire of the independent brigade will not be able to arbitrarily cover its infantry! ”

"Understood, Your Excellency!"

Kotaro Kusunoki paused heavily, then took a few steps back, picked up the field phone, and directly gave combat orders to the remaining two Japanese army captains.

At this time, the artillery battalion of the independent brigade, which was quickly stopped from artillery cover, quickly divided a part to carry out extended shelling into the town.

Because the guerrillas had persuaded the common people in Maojiasoo Town to withdraw first, Masuda Jiantai secretly transferred two squadrons from the defensive position on the north bank of the Kouquan River to Maojiasoo Town to repair the fortifications in Maojiasoo Town, but he did not see a single ordinary person in the town.

Otherwise, the little devil used the people in Maojiasoo Town as a shield at this time, and the artillery fire of the Independent Brigade really couldn't shell the town.

As for now, Wang Chengzhu has received Li Yunlong's order, even if he blows up the buildings of the ordinary people in the town. After the war, the Independent Brigade would be responsible for compensation, after all, Li Yunlong commanded the Independent Brigade to annihilate a large number of Japanese troops and break through the towns where countless little devils were stationed. 187

Among them, there are still a lot of seized assets. Although most of them have been handed over to the headquarters, the captured assets left in the independent brigade can still compensate for the loss of the houses and other materials and property of the people in Maojiasoo Town during the battle.

The topic is far away and withdrawn.

Seeing that the artillery fire of the Independent Brigade was extended, the three regiments of the Independent Brigade, which was mainly attacking, immediately launched a siege at the same time. To the east of the town, the cavalry battalion and the special operations battalion of Duan Peng's department also attacked, intending to contain a part of the 313th Wing of the Devils.

"Up, brothers, up!"

To the south of Maojiasoo, it was the headquarters of the Second Regiment that was responsible for attacking this place, and the regiment commander Shen Qun was holding a Jinzao submachine gun at this time. Commanded the battalions of the 2nd Regiment to attack.

In the fierce battle at night, under the cover of their own artillery fire, the soldiers of the second regiment charged bravely and attacked towards the town of Maojiasoo.

"Da Da Da, Da !!!!"

Attacked a street in the south of the town, and suddenly under the night, countless bullets suddenly appeared at an intersection across the street, and at first glance it was the devil's Type 92 heavy machine gun.

"Hidden!"

Seeing this, the commander of the third battalion of the second regiment shouted directly: "Made, mortar, bomb him for me!" ”。

"Yes, Battalion Commander!" In the midst of the fierce battle, some soldiers responded with a bang.

In less than ten seconds, an 80 mm mortar rushed up from the rear of the attacking force when it was suppressed by the machine-gun fire of the defensive machine-gun fire points built by the Japanese at the street crossroads.

"Report to the battalion commander, the devil's firepower point has been targeted, please instruct!" The leader of the well-aimed mortar squad reported to the commander of the third battalion of the 2nd regiment.

The commander of the third battalion of the second regiment scolded and scolded: "Please show me, knock it out for me!" Boom! ”。

"Yes, Battalion Commander!"

Soon, only a loud sound of a cannonball coming out of the chamber was heard, and a mortar shell whistled out. With a long tail flame, it smashed into the machine-gun ring fortifications of the Japanese army at the intersection of the southern streets.

"Boom !!!"

The commander of the third battalion of the second regiment did not use a telescope, and clearly saw that the machine gun fire point of the devil was blown to pieces.

In the bright light of the explosion, it was easy to see the severed arm of the devil machine gunner who had been blown up by the shell, and then it fell heavily.

"Okay, brothers, go on, rush !!"

The commander of the third battalion of the second regiment saw that the mortar had solved the devil's machine gun fire point, and with a wave of his hand, he ordered the third battalion of the regiment to continue the attack and advance.

And this is just a microcosm of the battle to attack Maojiasoap Town.

With the artillery cover of the artillery battalion of the independent brigade, Zhang Dabiao's department and Ma Wenhai's department attacked it one after another. Even the cavalry battalion and special operations battalion, which are a bit of a diversion meaning, have also invaded the town. The various fortifications of the devils in the town were captured one after another, and they were defeated and retreated by the regiments and units of the Independent Brigade, and they continued to shrink inward.
