Chapter 531: Closing the Door and Fighting the Dog (First Update)
The bombardment of the devil's air force lasted for nearly 40 minutes, and the entire city of Taiyuan was shrouded in the bombardment of the little devils in the midst of the earth-shattering loud noises one after another.
The flames were shining and the smoke was filled.
The defenders of the Tiger Regiment hid in the air defense fortifications, and they could feel the shaking of the ground, and the dust on the ceiling was even more shaking with the shaking of the earth, and "swish" fell down, turning many soldiers into ashes, like groundhogs.
Under the almost carpet bombardment of the devil's aviation unit and the ground field artillery unit, the last intact civilian buildings in the city also completely collapsed and turned into pieces of dilapidated ruins.
Among them, the west gate and the north gate were taken care of by the Japanese aviation unit.
The towers collapsed, and so did large swaths of the city walls.
At the South Gate, since the 4th Division had been completely abandoned by Nishio Shouzo, it couldn't be counted on anyway, so naturally the ammunition that bombed the South Gate was saved.
As for the east gate, it was already in the hands of the 108th Division, so there was no need to continue bombing.
Can't you blow yourself up?
At the general headquarters of the Tiger Regiment, Yang Chen called the officers above the battalion commander of the Tiger Regiment, and Chen Qinghua, the commander of the 1st Independent Brigade.
And issued a new combat order to them: "Under the bombardment of the enemy's powerful ground and air fire, our army's field artillery positions have been completely destroyed.
No matter how strong our army's individual combat capability is, it is impossible to resist the aircraft and artillery of the little devils. ”
Yang Chen looked around and continued: "Therefore, we must give up the city defense, retreat into the city, and let the devils enter the city.
Engage the enemy with small tactics such as street battles, curtain battles, and sparrow battles, and use various buildings and terrain in the city to consume the enemy army.
Once the enemy and the enemy form a dog-tooth situation in the city, the little devil's aircraft and artillery will lose their original effect.
And we can take advantage of the outstanding combat ability of individual soldiers, as well as the advantages of more powerful firepower of individual weapons and more familiar terrain to inflict heavy damage on the little devils, and fight them without returning! ”
Immediately, Yang Chen talked to everyone about what the curtain battle and sparrow war were.
"Commander-in-chief's clever plan! That's what we did!" Chen Qinghua is also a smart person, and after listening to Yang Chen's story, he immediately understood it.
At the same time, the admiration for Yang Chen has reached a new height, he is brave and strategic, no wonder he can always achieve incredible victories.
At that moment, Yang Chen and Chen Qinghua immediately ordered all battalions and companies to retreat to the city defense and let the devils enter the city.
At this time, as the bombing of the aviation unit ended, the red light and smoke and dust that shrouded the sky over Taiyuan City gradually dissipated.
Outside the city, some devil officers saw that the defenders took the initiative to retreat, and there were no defenders in the city defense position, so they immediately waved their sabers excitedly and yelled.
"Kill the chicken and give it! The Chinese defenders couldn't stand it anymore, rushed in and killed them all!"
"His Majesty the Emperor is onboard! Great Japanese Empire onboard! ”
"His Majesty the Emperor is onboard! Great Japanese Empire onboard! ”
"His Majesty the Emperor is onboard! Great Japanese Empire onboard! ……”
“……”
Thousands of devil soldiers were also excited, screaming and swarming forward, swarming towards the dilapidated Taiyuan City one by one.
Yang Chen arranged and decided on tactics, and after taking the command headquarters from Wang Gui, who had just recovered from serious injuries, he led Chen Qinghua and several battalion commanders of the Huben Regiment to the headquarters immediately and rushed to all parts of the city.
Of course, these super fighters with such strong individual combat ability should rush to the forefront of the battlefield, and if they stay in the rear, it will be too wasteful of talents.
Moreover, this kind of street fighting and close-range combat are all good things for Yang Chen and the super soldiers of the Tiger Ben Regiment.
In street fighting, as good as them, it is trivial to fight against a hundred.
It can be said that as long as one or two of them are in command of a city, it is enough to make the devil's attacking troops fall into a trap and stagnate.
However, the little devil's devil strength is too much, and Rao is Yang Chen's determination, and he doesn't dare to be careless at this time.
In the north gate city, about 1,000 devil infantry swarmed through the gaps and gates of the city walls.
Because the tanks and tanks of the devils on the northern front had been destroyed in the previous engagement, this time there were no tanks charging into the city with the synchronizers.
When Rake Ear and Xu Ming Li Da came to the north of the city, hundreds of officers and men of the second and third battalions were already under the leadership and command of their respective company commanders, and they exchanged fire with the enemy.
The 2nd, 3rd, and 4th Battalions did not experience the vicious battle of the 4th Division's onslaught on Mingqian Town because they continued to Niushou Mountain with Yang Chen, and when they rushed back, they were already nearing the end of the battle.
Therefore, the strength of the troops is much more neat than that of the first battalion and the fifth battalion.
At this time, these hundreds of fighters, relying on the ruins of buildings on both sides of the street, suddenly opened fire when the devil entered the firing range, taking the devil by surprise and causing casualties to the devil more than one infantry squadron.
But then the devils scattered in all directions, relying on the buildings in the city, relying on their accurate shooting ability and skillful technical and tactical cooperation, little by little to pull back the disadvantage.
Although the defenders rely on an automatic weapon and have strong firepower, they are far inferior to these battle-hardened devil soldiers in terms of marksmanship.
Therefore, as the Japanese stabilized their positions, the casualties of the defenders began to increase little by little.
At this time, Rake Ear, Xu Ming and Li Da arrived, and each of them had a high-level enhanced version of Bayi Bar, and first killed two or several devil heavy machine gunners who posed the greatest threat to the defenders with a few shots of accurate sniping.
Then the three of them scattered and began to take over the command of the battlefield.
At the same time, the rake ear saw that at the corner of the street and alley, a devil Shaozuo was screaming and waving a knife to command the attack, and he raised his hand to shoot a shot.
"Bang!"
The 7.62mm bullet hit his head accurately, hitting him with a lot of brains, and the shouting stopped abruptly.
On the devil's side, there was also a brief chaos because of the commander's violent death.
Xu Ming came to the second battalion defense area and shouted to several company commanders under his command: "Don't fight hard with devils, be flexible, use the buildings in the city to fight against the Japanese invaders, and make full use of every house, every street, and every alley."
Li Da also conducted a simple popularization of tactics such as street fighting, curtain fighting, and sparrow warfare with several company commanders under his command, so that they could understand the tactical intentions of Yang Chen.
And the rake ears are to lead some of the fighters of the sharpshooter battalion to continue their mission of sniping the key targets of the devils.
After receiving the instruction, the defenders of the 2nd and 3rd Battalions fought and retreated, slowly retreating deeper into the city.
As soon as the defenders withdrew, the devils chased after them in a hurry.
The second battalion defense area.
Xu Ming stayed behind the last hall, hid on the roof of a building, and when seven or eight devils chased after him with guns, he immediately tied two melon grenades seized from the devils to an explosive bag, pulled them off and threw them down.
