Chapter 23: All Fronts!

"Iron Fist Plan": The assault team went deep behind enemy lines to cut off the enemy's Marine Corps headquarters from the sea, and then the 87th and 88th Divisions launched general attacks on two important Japanese strongholds.

The task of the 87th Division was to advance with all its might towards Gongda Spinning and to occupy all the strongholds; The task of the 88th Division was to attack the headquarters of the Marine Corps, the main brain of the Japanese army. Attack on two fronts, so that the enemy cannot take care of both the head and the tail.

At dawn on the 17th, as the 500-strong assault team gradually advanced, the 87th Division launched a general attack on the northern front at the same time. Under the command of division commander Wang Jingjiu, the 259th Brigade of the 87th Division rose up to fight, and the 7th and 8th companies joined forces to attack the Japanese Navy Club and the Navy Playground.

The Japanese suffered heavy casualties, and more than 200 marines could not resist the fierce offensive of the 87th Division, and the remnants abandoned their positions, surrendered their weapons and fled from the British and French concessions in disarray.

The Japanese command hurriedly ordered the 8th Marine Corps, the 1st Mine Marine Corps, and several combat vehicles to quickly reinforce Hujiang University and Gongda Textile Factory. The 87th Division continued its attack without success, and the two sides entered a stalemate.

On the southern front, 88 was the 264 Brigade attacking the Japanese Marine Corps Command. After a round of heavy artillery bombardment, the officers and men of the 88th Division fought all the way and overcame all the thorns and thorns, sweeping away all the strongholds on the periphery of the Japanese army, and the troops once again slaughtered near the naval headquarters.

Just three days ago, the 264th Brigade also arrived here, and the brigade commander Huang Meixing was killed. At this time, the commander of the 264th Brigade had Zhu Chi, the commander of the 528th Regiment, temporarily acting as his deputy, and he had some scruples about the steel fortress in front of him.

The headquarters of the Japanese Marine Corps is a five-story building, made of reinforced concrete, and the walls are very hard, and the foundation alone is as deep as an eight-story building.

However, this fortress is far more than that, there are several artillery pieces above the roof, heavy machine guns, and a watchtower, and the surrounding Sichuan North Road, Dongjiang Bend Road at a glance, the roof can completely form a crossfire network below, and the artillery can also carry out fixed-point artillery bombardment on enemy targets, coupled with the fire cooperation of the fortress below, it is not an exaggeration to say that it is a steel fortress.

"It's less than 50 meters, and it's reimbursed in a row, how should this battle be fought?"

Zhu Chi was at a loss at the command headquarters, he had no heavy fire support, and using the tactic of refueling was feeding the enemy bullets, and the troops would have to run out when the time came.

At this moment, the division headquarters called, and this message made Zhu Chi's tightly locked eyebrows stretch like timely rain. The content of the telegram stated that the rear artillery regiment assisted the offensive of the 264 Brigade and would launch a ten-minute artillery bombardment of the enemy headquarters in three minutes, ordering the 524 Brigade to prepare for an assault.

Sure enough, three minutes later, the artillery regiment transported from Nanjing by the headquarters launched a fierce artillery bombardment of the Japanese headquarters. Suddenly, the cannon roared and the smoke of gunpowder rose everywhere, and the clods of soil on the wall of the headquarters continued to fall to the ground, blasting out several large holes, and the devils in the building quickly blocked them with sandbags. However, the cannonball was a curved fall, and it only caused damage to the building and the fortifications below, not very much damage to the roof.

After the 10th shelling, the ground forces launched a fierce assault with a company as the main force and mortars and machine guns in the rear as cover. Zhu Chi wanted to attack the enemy headquarters in one fell swoop.

"Kill~" "Kill~""%"

The sound of killing in the open space in front of the headquarters shook the sky, and a company launched a rapid charge under the leadership of the company commander.

At this time, machine gun bullets above the roof rained down, and the devils in the building launched a counterattack at the same time. The fighters in front fell in rows, and the fighters in the rear stepped on the corpses of their comrades and continued to charge, and death kept passing by them.

"Hit hard!"

Looking at the sacrifices of so many brothers in rows, Zhu Chi let out a final roar.

"Da Da Da" "Da Da Da" "Da Da Da" "......"

The 528th Regiment concentrated all its firepower on the enemy's fire, and a company of soldiers successfully stormed the headquarters with the strength of two platoons under the cover of fire.

However, the scene in front of him made Zhu Chi stunned. Several gates under the enemy's headquarters were electric iron gates, and after the two platoons attacked them, the iron gates were closed from top to bottom, directly blocking the attack of the follow-up troops. And inside is the unknown Longtan Tiger's Den, and the two platoons never came out again.

The battle between the two sides once again entered a stalemate, and Zhu Chi could only hope that Liu Hongshen's commando team would gain something temporarily, as long as the commando team completely cut off the enemy's reinforcements, it was only a matter of time before the forward headquarters was captured.

Liu Hongshen led the assault team to continue to advance in depth, but a large number of strongholds had already been arranged on the streets and buildings of the enemy's Forte, and the commandos had to pay a certain sacrifice for each place they conquered.

On the main streets, the devils not only have a large number of sandbag fortifications, strong firepower, but also armored vehicles as mobile fortresses; In nearby neighborhoods, window rooftops have their fire points as aids. At this time, the assault had lost the support of artillery fire and could only rush and attack.

"Da Da Da" "Da Da Da" "Da Da Da" "......"

"Boom Boom" "......"

The street fighting was extremely fierce, the hot bullets crisscrossed back and forth on the streets, the shells continued to fall into the areas of both sides, and the entire Qiujiang Road was shrouded in thick gunsmoke.

"Fire cover, up!"

Liu Hongshen rushed to the front and personally commanded the battle. The assault team occupied some commanding heights in the rear and used machine guns to strafe the devils in the front strongholds, while the squads of the broken artillery bombarded the front indiscriminately at the same time. However, as soon as the assault team rushed forward, the rain of bullets quickly suppressed back, and several soldiers fell directly in the middle of the street.

"Ahh "Who will save me~" "......"

In addition to the sound of "da-da" bullets, the sound of "rumbling" artillery fire, there are also the screams and cries for help of the soldiers. Both the enemy and the enemy carried the wounded to the rear, and the fighting continued alive.

The armored car in the center of the road is a great threat to the commandos, bullets and shells have no effect on it, and there are infantry protection in the rear, and there are fire points on both sides of the road, so the commandos cannot approach at all.

Liu Hongshen immediately made a decision and ordered the demolition team to carry out blasting operations on the surrounding walls and attack the enemy from the flanks. Holes were punched in the walls, and the attack team behind them quickly followed.

"Boom Boom" "Boom Boom" "......"

At this moment, the back of the devil's armored car burst into flames, and more than a dozen devils were directly blown out of the fortifications and fell to the street with blurred flesh and blood.

Liu Hongshen was stunned for a moment and looked up, only to see grenades falling from the roof of the three-story building.

"What's going on? Are there any of our people there? ”

At this time, Liu Hongshen found that the fire points of the buildings around the street were all dumb, and the roof not only had grenades falling, but also accompanied by gunshots.

Just when Liu Hongshen wanted to seize the fighter plane and charge again, the devil reinforcements in the rear quickly followed up and entered the fortifications again, and the firepower was more ferocious than before. At the same time, eight devils entered the building, targeting the enemies above the rooftops.

In less than a minute, the scene in front of him once again stunned the commandos below. From the roof of the third floor, the corpses of devils fell from the roof, and some smashed directly on the armored car.

"Oh~Oh~Oh~" "......"

The commandos on the opposite side cheered, and suddenly their morale was greatly boosted.

Just as everyone's attention was focused on the mysterious figure on the third floor, the demolition team had already attacked the vicinity of the armored vehicle. One of the commandos rushed out of the flank, threw a trapped rapid grenade under the armor, and then retreated with a deft tumbling.

Only a loud "boom" was heard, and the entire armored car was blown into the sky, turning into a pile of scrap copper and rotten iron in the thick flames.

"Rush!"

"Da Da Da" "Da Da Da" "Da Da Da" "......"

Liu Hongshen took a submachine gun and led his team members to charge, and dozens of commandos rushed out of the street like arrows and launched a fierce charge towards the enemy position in front.

"Attack!"

The devils were not ambiguous, they knew the advantage of losing mobile fortresses and fortifications, so a devil squad leader brandished a saber and launched a counter-charge with the remaining soldiers.

"Hit!"

"Dadada" "......"

Liu Hongshen stopped and shot wildly at the front with more than a dozen team members, and sparks slanted away. Before a dozen devils could get close to their target, they became corpses under the cover of this fire net.

After the battle, a man walked out from under the three-story building on the side, he was holding a rifle, wearing a gilly suit, and his face was painted in a thick yellow, brown, and black camouflage suit. ”
