In Tengchong City, the Japanese army converted the sturdy buildings into fortresses. It's a pity that these ancient buildings with a long history, grand buildings and exquisite carvings: Wenxing Tower, Wenchang Palace, Yaowang Temple, etc., have been forcibly transformed by the Japanese army, stripping away its elegant Confucianism, Taoism and interpretation spirit, and the whole body is full of evil guns, aiming at all the people who come and go at any time.

The Japanese also unblocked all the sewers in the city, transforming the sewer system that crisscrossed the city into hidden underground communication trenches that connected to all sides.

Although the commanders of the 56th Division, Major General Sakaguchi and Daisa Shimada, repeatedly reminded Kurashige Yasumi to prevent the infiltration of small units of the Chinese army, he took all this as wind in the ears of the arrogant Kurashige Yasumi.

It wasn't until the guards around me reported that nearly two hours had passed, and the logging team had not arrived. There was an ominous premonition in his brain, so he hurriedly walked with the guards around him to the place where the logging team passed.

As a few of the guards turned over the dead leaves, they saw blood on the ground, and flies flew out of the leaves.

"Your Excellency, look, there is blood here!" Several guards immediately said to Kurashige Yasumi.

"There's it here, there's there, there's blood all around!" Just when Zang Shigeyasu's face was full of surprise, several other soldiers then reported the situation, and soon, these little devils found all the blood stains, and all of them were presented in front of all the devils for a while.

Soldiers who were unclogging the sewers nearby also found the bodies of the members of the logging team......

"Yaga!" Seeing the corpses of the members of the logging team in the sewers, Kurashige Yasumi turned to the devil soldiers beside him and said, "The Chinese army may change into the military uniform of our Great Japanese Empire, and it is very likely that they will sneak into the city to cause destruction, we must find them as soon as possible and completely eliminate them." ”

All the devil soldiers scurried around Tengchong City like a headless fly.

......

In order to strengthen precautions, the Japanese army drove all the people in the city outside the city, which was not enough, in order to clear the shooting boundary, Kurashige Yasumi also forcibly demolished the streets and alleys outside the city.

Although Kurashige Yasumi armed Tengchong to the sewers, he was still very weak in his heart, and in the face of a powerful opponent, Kurashige Yasumi issued an order that even his own subordinates could not understand: strengthen the control of lights throughout the city, and no lights were allowed at night. When night fell, the entire Tengchong City was pitch black, like a dead city.

The silence of death contains a huge fire.

No matter how stubbornly Zangzhong Kangmei resists, Tengchong has truly become a lonely fortress.

On the day when Fengshan was taken, Commander Huo issued an order to attack Tengchong:

"Besiege the enemy of Tengchong with the main force and annihilate it in one fell swoop."

The 20th Group Army had won a new victory, and the morale of the top and bottom was high, and everyone was gearing up and shouting to attack Tengchong. Commander Huo also advanced his group army headquarters to Heshun Township, which was only 4 kilometers away from Tengchong City, where he commanded his troops to take Tengchong City in one fell swoop with the courage and means to come to Fengshan with a quick decision.

Before Commander Huo could wait for any news from the squad sent by Peng Gang, he couldn't wait to draw a clean and decisive encirclement situation on the map with a red pen, and ordered: The 54th Army attached the 1st Mortar Battalion to attack the south gate along the line from the west gate and the north gate to the east gate, and the 166th Division of the 53rd Army with the 1st mortar battalion and the army's mountain artillery battalion to attack the east gate along the line of the south gate.

The troops quickly arrived at the designated positions. The 116th, 36th, and 198th Divisions, which were the attacking forces, advanced to Tengchong City from the southeast, southwest, and north directions respectively. The 2nd Reserve Division, which was holding on to Laifengshan, also opened its eyes wide and was ready to pounce down the mountain at any time to respond to the battle. The 130th Division, which served as the guard to the west, also took part of its troops to control Nijiapu and prepared for the 116th Division.

Tengchong City was already under the tight siege of the 20th Army. But it was not so simple to attack Tengchong, which Commander Huo did not expect in advance.

Tengchong City is very cleverly sited, except for the south of Laifeng Mountain, which can condescendingly bombard inside and outside the city, the other three sides are open areas, large paddy fields, showing other directions, and fighting here, you must face a large area of thin mud and soft soil. Both soldiers and horse artillery got caught in it as they passed through and became the target of the Japanese army.

When the Chinese soldiers attacked the troops close to the city wall, the three-layer firepower point shot out a dense fire network, and saw a group of soldiers fall at the foot of the city wall, which is the hardest nail encountered in the siege.

"Fuck, blow me up with a plane! I don't believe that Lao Tzu can't defeat him. "Commander Huo asked the commander-in-chief of the expeditionary force to send Allied air force support.

On August 2, the 20th Army launched its first general assault on Tengchong City.

Sixty Allied planes flew into the sky, like a black cloud pressing down, and the roar of the planes was deafening. The people around Tengchong City also ran to Fengshan Mountain one after another, shouting and cheering for the siege troops.

After a heavy bombardment by the planes, the artillery launched a continuous bombardment, and 3,000 shells rained down on the Tengchong city wall.

Before the smoke cleared, the siege force of the expeditionary force had already crossed the swamp and quickly rushed to the city wall. Unexpectedly, the Japanese army was not wilted by planes and artillery, the city walls were still very strong, and the siege troops were frantically counterattacked by the Japanese troops defending the city. In an instant, the sound of killing outside Tengchong City was everywhere, guns and bullets rained down, and blood and flesh were splashed.

The 2nd Battalion of the 107th Regiment on the left flank of the 36th Division, which attacked the southwest corner, first forcibly landed the city with a ladder and captured 2 fortresses in the southwest corner of the city wall. However, the Japanese firepower was too fierce, and the dense firepower network sealed the breakthrough of the city wall, the ladder could no longer be built, and the follow-up troops could not keep up, and the 107th Regiment was blocked from attacking the city.

To the north, due to the open terrain, the 198th Division, which attacked the corner tower and the northeast corner, was suppressed by the strong fire of the Japanese army, and could not get close to the city wall.

The 346th Regiment of the 116th Division wanted to enter the city from the gap in the southeast corner, but encountered poison gas from the Japanese army.

On the first day, the offensive was fierce, but it had little effect.

The next day, 15 Allied heavy bombers flew into the sky again, dropping batches of heavy ** on the fortified city wall positions of the Tibetan heavy Kangmei.

It's a pity that the hit rate is too low, and the city wall is too strong, and the heavy ** can only blow it up a few small gaps.

The stormtroopers of the 348th Regiment of the 116th Division, under the cover of gunsmoke, took advantage of the small gap opened by the explosion to climb the city wall from the southeast corner with a ladder again. The besieging soldiers were immediately met with heavy fire from the Japanese defending troops, and bullets were firing frantically from his front and side, and the 42 warriors were in a dilemma, so they could only use the broken bricks and tiles on the city wall to build temporary bunkers and defend this gap.
