Chapter 129: The Battle for the Streets

I don't know how long it had been since the battle was completely over, but in fact, from the time of the attack on the British Consulate in Tengchong, it had completely marked the end of the Battle of Tengchong. The independent battalion led by Han Shigui and Shandong was actually not easy to hit directly from the south gate to the Confucian Temple, and the six artillery pieces were pushed down in front and began to hit the Confucian Temple. Regardless of the scolding of the devils inside, they entered the Temple of Literature one by one, and it can be said that the means are not used. As a result, the windows and doors of the Temple of Literature were sealed by artillery shells, and the frontal fire was hit with light and heavy machine guns and ***, and the devils on the front did not dare to show their heads at all, and then the blasting team followed, and the top ** directly exploded and rushed in.

"Listen, everyone, there are no captives here!"

Han Shigui shouted loudly, which meant that everyone saw that the Japanese were all killed.

"Yes!"

The others quickly captured the temple and began to attack all the way to the west of the British Consulate. Why don't you set off to the east gate, because the east gate is too lively, and you may not be able to drink soup by yourself. As the battle progressed, the inner line suddenly reappeared, and began to indicate the Japanese ammunition points on a large scale, blowing up a number of Japanese warehouses, and also pointing out the approximate location of the hideout of the Japanese commander Yasumi Kurashige.

This made the Japanese uncomfortable, and now they have reached the end of the road, and finally a bunch of Japanese planes came and dropped the last batch of supplies before they were also hit and fell. This was also the only time that the Japanese troops in Tengchong City received assistance, and the materials obtained were quickly distributed to other Japanese soldiers, one per person, and ten rifle rounds.

According to relevant intelligence, this time the Japanese army only airdropped 500 hands**, so according to calculations, these Japanese troops will not exceed 500 people. But there were no more than six battalions of attacking troops in Tengchong City, and with the increase in casualties, five divisions of troops had already entered.

The entire underground waterway of Tengchong became a communication ditch for the Japanese army, through which they went around behind the national army and attacked. The Japanese 56th Division rejected the request of the Japanese army to retreat, and instead let the group fight to the death. It had been a month of bloody fighting in Tengchong City, and although Chairman Chiang never sent the necessary reinforcements, the soldiers of the Nationalist Army were still fighting for every inch of land.

"Everyone, block all the sewers, and I'd rather flood the city into a river than let a devil go behind our ass!"

The others laboriously pressed the girders and masonry of several houses against the mouth of the waterway, so that they could not remove so many girders without the help of outsiders.

Han Shigui's independent battalion was also attacked by a sneak attack, but in the face of strong firepower, these devils couldn't go a round. The entire regiment was wandering around the city, but Han Shigui and the Shandong side decided to defend on the spot, and instead of wandering, it was better to defend the controlled area. The entire southwest corner of the city was controlled by Han Shigui's troops, who scattered to observe, and once they found Japanese activity on the ground, at least three firing points would attack the Japanese army.

The best thing for the troops is defense, and the defense circle by circle allows the entire army to return to its home field, and the buildings that still retain the height are uniformly placed on people, and the troops are more closely connected, and the most important thing is to consolidate the defense.

"Captain of the regiment, don't go up, consolidate your territory!"

"It's tight above, there's no way, another one just died recently, let's be careful."

Another regiment commander died in the reserve of the second division, which was the elite unit of the 20th Army, not to mention the death of a regiment commander. The high-ranking officer who died in just two days was about to make the commander crazy, which is why Han Shigui and Shandong defended on the spot. It is unwise to fight with the Japanese in trapped beasts, and the 30,000 people in the six divisions have not taken down these hundreds of people, and I don't know what to do in the end.

"Then you have to do it perfunctorily, such a 10-meter and 20-meter advance a day, didn't the chief say anything?"

"You have the confidence to quarrel with the chief, if we have your family, we can fight with the chief every day. The problem is that our life and death are in the hands of the chief, and it is easy for us to die, and we will die as soon as the supplies are cut off. ”

The commander on Han Shigui's ammunition did not dare to break it, because most of the space was to use Han Shigui's light and heavy weapons, and there were not so many *** and light machine guns in other troops, not to mention the latest 7.92 caliber Bren type. Whenever there is a key task, Han Shigui and Shandong will take someone to get it for you in ten minutes, and they don't care how many people there are and whether there are hostages. Tengchong City is red-eyed now, who cares about whom?

"The above orders everyone to wrap white towels around their arms, and allow self-defense at night and not to attack!"

The veterans all knew that this was going to send a death squad, Han Shigui and Shandong were shocked, and both of them also understood the general reason, since the superiors sent a death squad, then they must know the specific location of the devil, so they had to form a death squad.

"Be smart at night, ammunition, weapons are ready, and if someone comes to verify your identity."

Since someone wants to sing a big drama at night, it is indispensable to let themselves help the field, and they don't need to contribute anyway.

Han Shigui and the others can sit firmly in Diaoyutai at night, and there are only a few hundred Japanese troops left, so the pressure is not great, and it can be determined that these people basically do not run. They will come to you, in which case it's better to stay on the sidelines. Although Tengchong City is not small, it is not big, and only the right way can completely clear the obstacles, otherwise, the loss is too great and it will be withdrawn.

"Third Commander, take a break, haven't you already decided tonight?"

"We also have to collect the loot, and we have to give money to fight, if we don't have money, we can only rob it."

......

The small city of Tengchong has been besieged for two months, and there are only 1,500 Japanese troops left in the city.

What the headquarters did not expect was that it would be much more difficult to capture this isolated city than to capture Laifengshan and break through the walled positions, and ordinary people could hardly imagine that this arduous battle for streets and alleys was fought quite hard, and the casualties paid were so great that it actually consumed more than half of the strength of the 20 th Group Army.

It is said that tens of thousands of troops have entered the city, and the Tengyue garrison of only 1,500 people should have surrendered long ago under the pressure of the army. But the stubborn Japanese army did not surrender even to death, and still hid in a dark corner to resist stubbornly.

The General Headquarters had no choice but to order the annihilation of the stubborn enemy and the recovery of Tengchong City!

In order to facilitate command, Commander Huo adjusted the operational areas of the two armies, taking the central axis from the south gate to the north gate as the line, the 53rd Army was responsible for clearing the enemy in the eastern half of the city, and the 54th Army was responsible for destroying the remnants of the enemy in the western half of the city. Let several divisions attack one by one from the south of the city to the north of the city, and on this less than 3 square kilometers of ground, tens of thousands of troops launched a carpet sweep against the Tengyue garrison, which was only more than 1,000 people.

A bloody battle in the streets.
