Chapter 1001: Storming the City

"Boom!"

"Boom, boom, boom! ——”

With the extension of the artillery battalion's firepower, the entire southern part of Binh Thuan City suddenly became a sea of fire.

In the red light that soared into the sky, the houses collapsed one after another, turning into pieces of ruins.

Countless pieces of masonry and rubble, as well as fragments of broken wood, swept through the blast wave from the explosion.

There were also some cannonballs that fell from the sky, and they fell on the streets, among the devils and puppet soldiers who rushed in.

The explosion of air swept away the surrounding devils and puppet soldiers, and their bodies disintegrated in mid-air, and before they landed, they were already exhausted.

More of the little devils were hit by the looting shrapnel and broken masonry rubble.

Under the powerful artillery bombardment of the artillery battalion of the Tiger Regiment, the entire south of the city seemed to have become a purgatory on earth, a forbidden area for death.

Some of the surviving devils and puppet soldiers saw their companions being blown to pieces and broken arms, smashed to death by shrapnel and masonry, or buried alive by collapsed house walls.

All were in a state of endless panic.

They didn't care about any orders anymore, they just wanted to stay alive, they wanted to get out of this damn place as soon as possible.

One man took the lead, and soon, more and more people joined the retreat.

"Baga Ya Road! Eight Ga Ya Road! Give me back, go back! ”

Although some of the devil officers tore their throats, they even did not hesitate to draw their guns and pull the trigger on the retreating crowd.

But under the powerful artillery bombardment of the Tiger Regiment, the rout has become an irreversible fact.

Except for those who were shot and killed, no one listened to his orders.

……

Outside the city, when the artillery fire extended for a few minutes, Yang Chen immediately led the army of the Tiger Ben Regiment and launched a charge under the loud horn of the charge.

More than 2,000 soldiers of the Tiger Regiment, under the leadership of Yang Chen, easily crossed the city wall.

"Stop shelling and charge with me!"

Seeing that the army had entered the city, Zhang Dali promptly ordered the artillery battalion to stop the bombardment so as not to cause accidental injuries.

Subsequently, he was also unwilling to be lonely, and led the artillery battalion to form a second wave of attack clusters and kill in the city.

Entering the city, seeing that the devils and puppet troops who came to reinforce were already retreating backwards like a tide, Yang Chen immediately ordered to the people around him: "Liu Zheping, you immediately lead a battalion to advance along the city wall to the east and west gates."

The rest of the battalions, follow me along the main street to the center of the city, and be sure to take the county seat of Binh Thuan as quickly as possible! ”

"Yes!"

Liu Zheping answered, and immediately divided the battalion into two parts, and he personally led a part to the left and advanced towards the west city gate.

The rest of the battalions, too, were ordered to attack the city along the main street.

The veterans are in the front, and while advancing, they do not forget to teach the recruits combat experience.

The incident happened suddenly, and the devils didn't have time to build the barricades.

Coupled with the active retreat of the devils and the puppet army, the advance of the Tiger Ben Regiment army has become extremely simple.

It was very easy to advance to the center of the county, the former county government, that is, outside the headquarters of the Takeda River.

At this time, Takeda Jiang had already received a call back from the Taiyuan Command.

No reinforcements!

Looking at the piece of telegram in his hand, the old devil Takeda Jiang showed a decadent and sluggish gaze, and the whole person looked more than ten years old in an instant.

There is no longer the majesty of being the great commander of the imperial army in the past.

The devil staff officer who had been slapped before stepped forward and said, "Your Excellency Dazuo, we have been abandoned by the headquarters.

The enemy has already crossed the walls and rushed into the city, so what shall we hold out until dawn?

Listen to the advice of the humble officer, and evacuate quickly, otherwise, when the other three gates are also occupied and controlled by the enemy, it will be too late! ”

"Retreat?"

Takeda Jiang raised his head violently and shouted: "Don't forget that we are the Imperial Army, and before we set out on the expedition, we have made an oath to dedicate everything, even our lives, to the Empire!" ”

"But...... There is an old saying in China, which is called to keep the green mountains without worrying about no firewood.

Our temporary retreat is just a foreshadowing for the next comeback.

The current sacrifice is worthless, and it is better to preserve the strength for the time being.

Your Excellency, you should listen to the advice of your humble position! ”

At this time, a devil lieutenant suddenly ran in from outside with a roar, and before he had time to salute, he immediately reported: "Report to the chief, it's not good, the enemy has rushed to the crossroads, and will soon rush to the headquarters!" ”

The face of the devil staff officer suddenly became even more ugly.

Takeda Jiang's face became resolute, and he shouted, "What are you panicking about? ”

Saying that, he flipped his wrist, took out the gun at his waist, pulled the bolt, turned his head to look at the staff officer with the swollen left face, and said: "Yours, destroy all the important documents in the radio station and the command headquarters, especially the secret code, absolutely cannot be left to these damned Chinese!" ”

"The rest, follow me to meet the enemy!"

With that, Takeda Jiang strode out the door.

The devil staff officer knew that Takeda Jiang was ready to die, so he looked at his back and asked, "Your Excellency Dazuo, what are the materials in the warehouse?" ”

"The Imperial Army will soon make a comeback, and they will definitely be able to recapture it all together!"

Takeda Jiangtou didn't look back.

…………

Inside the city.

Under the personal leadership of Yang Chen, the rest of the battalions except for the first battalion divided the road and advanced towards the center of the city together.

Like a lost dog, the devils and puppet soldiers who only cared about fleeing for their lives did not form a slight obstacle to them at all, and the army easily advanced all the way to the crossroads in the center of the city.

During this period, a small number of devil soldiers who tried to resist stubbornly were all ruthlessly attacked by the bullets and bullets of the Tiger Regiment.

In the end, he fell in a pool of blood and became the powder trampled by the army of the Tiger Ben Regiment.

It wasn't until they advanced to the center of the city that the Tiger Pack finally encountered a decent obstacle.

In order to reduce casualties, Yang Chen had to order to slow down the pace of advance, and at the same time set aside a part of the veterans as assault troops, under the cover of the army's firepower, to occupy some dangerous positions at the entrance of the streets, and the commanding heights in the city.

Looking at the devil machine gun position in front of him, Yang Chen shouted: "Artillery group, end the devil machine gun position in front of Lao Tzu!" ”

"Yes!"

An artillery platoon commander responded, and immediately walked up with two artillerymen picking up a grenadier.

The grenadier was assembled before, so it could be used on the ground.

After adjusting the shooting of Zhu Yuan, the commander of the artillery platoon stretched out his hand and shouted: "Shells! ”

The artilleryman next to him immediately took out a high-explosive grenade and handed it to him.

After the platoon commander of the artillery platoon stuffed a high-explosive grenade into the chamber of the gun, he immediately turned sideways to dodge.

Listening to the muffled sound of "tom", the high-explosive grenade left a choking cloud of gunpowder smoke at the muzzle, and then came out of the disembowel at an astonishing speed, and the next moment, it landed accurately on the devil's machine gun position.
