Chapter 120: Street Fighting (Part II)
Over time, the guerrillas had gradually occupied half of Huadian.
But the smaller the battle circle, the greater the resistance.
The chances of encountering enemies begin to increase, and the number of casualties increases.
The number of devils is already less than 100, and the casualties on the side of the guerrillas have already exceeded 150.
Zhang Guanyi knew that if he continued to fight like this, he was afraid that the number of guerrillas who would survive in the end would not even exceed a hundred!
Therefore, he began to continuously increase his troops into the city, striving to end the battle as soon as possible under the absolute suppression of numbers.
Although this would have caused a lot of casualties to the anti-Japanese forces, the battle was not limited to the guerrillas.
They are here to fight, not to stand on their feet.
Under such circumstances, the number of casualties of the devils began to rise sharply, forcing Ono Taro to order everyone to retreat to the gendarmerie.
In the chaos, most of the civilians who had been confined to the gendarmerie fled away, and only three or four hundred people remained, basically some old people with poor legs and feet.
Liu Cheng pulled out a bayonet from the neck of a Japanese soldier, wiped the blood from his face indiscriminately, and quickly crossed a main street and approached in the direction of the gendarmerie.
From last night to now, the battle has lasted for more than ten hours, and these fighters have not rested for more than twenty-four hours, and hunger and exhaustion have also caused their combat effectiveness to decline.
While crossing an alley, Liu Cheng met Tian Liuwa, who had been shot in the leg.
Seeing Liu Cheng with a bloody face, Tian Liuwa was startled, and quickly stood up and asked:
"Captain, are you alright?"
Liu Cheng looked down to examine his wound and said:
"It's okay, it's not my blood."
Tian Liuwa's injuries were not light, although the bullet did not hurt the bones, but "bite" off a large piece of flesh.
Liu Cheng himself is not without injuries at all, there are three knife wounds on his arms, under his ribs, and on his back, but the wounds are not deep.
Tian Liuwa looked at Liu Cheng, who was bandaging her wounds, and said with sadness:
"Captain, I'm useless, the two people who followed me are dead......"
Liu Cheng's hand shook slightly, took a deep breath and said:
"This is a war, and fighting is to kill people, just save your strength to avenge them!"
Tian Liuwa nodded heavily, and did not say that she would insist on staying, and limped towards the outside of the city.
Liu Cheng admires Tian Liuwa's character very much, fighting is not simply relying on a strength that is not afraid of death, but to combine courage, wisdom and strength, do what you should do, do what you should do, not be strong, not cowering, this is the quality that a qualified soldier should have.
Street fighting is actually not like in the TV series, where two groups of people can find cover and shoot at each other, in that case, it will become a positional battle.
Besides, in urban areas, there are many ways for the enemy to go around the back of your ass and shoot, so the only viable way to fight is to fight with movement, with the fight, with the transfer, otherwise, you won't survive for five minutes at all.
On the hillside outside the city, Zhang Guanyi had just finished listening to Tian Liuwa's report and was frowning and thinking about countermeasures.
Suddenly, Tian Liuwa pointed to the top of the mountain in the distance and said to Zhang Guanyi:
"Commissar, there are people on the mountain!"
Zhang Guanyi turned his head to look, and sure enough, he saw someone on the top of the mountain more than 200 meters away looking this way, judging from the color of his clothes, it was a Japanese soldier.
He stretched out his hand and snatched the gun that Tian Liuwa had already picked up, and completed the process of aiming and firing in less than five seconds, and the figure suddenly fell in response.
Someone immediately ran over, and in a short time they came back with the corpse of a devil and a horse.
This man was sent by Toshio Nomura to check on the situation.
After this devil found the figure here, he immediately judged that this was a command post, and as long as the commander was defeated, then the situation in Huadian would immediately take a turn for the better.
Although he didn't enter the city, and he couldn't even hear the gunshots in the city, the lineup of seven or eight hundred people outside the city instantly told him what was going on here.
The Japanese soldier tried to kill the commander, but before he could confirm which one was the target, a bullet took his life.
Town.
As the personnel of various teams outside the city entered the city one after another to join the battle, the speed of the devil's retreat began to accelerate, and there were more and more corpses on the ground.
Liu Cheng roughly estimated that the ratio of the corpses of Japanese soldiers to the corpses of the members of each anti-Japanese team was about five to one.
He knew in his heart that this was already the best result, and if it weren't for the fact that the speed of this operation was so fast that he didn't give Ono Taro a chance to deploy, the result would only be even worse.
At this time, Ono Taro couldn't sit still, he didn't know how many people sent out had delivered the news, and now it was getting dark, and under such circumstances, they wouldn't be able to survive the night.
Sun Shiyu is now completely devoid of the cleverness he usually has, and he is more afraid than anyone else.
He knew about Jin Datou's death, and he still clearly remembers that tragic image to this day, if the guerrillas really occupied Huadian this time, then his fate would naturally be conceivable.
Now looking at Taro Ono's irrepressible anxiety, Sun Shiyu's heart is even more anxious than Taro Ono.
He cautiously approached Taro Ono and said:
"Ono Tai-kun, you can kill all the people outside the gendarmerie one by one, if you kill too much, the guerrillas will naturally be afraid, and they will definitely not dare to ignore the lives of the people......"
Before he finished his words, he was knocked to the ground by Taro Ono's backhand, and he couldn't get up for half a day.
The last thing Ono Taro wants to mention now is the use of ordinary people.
What seemed to him to be foolproof was slapped in the face by reality.
Now the plan for the present is to pin his hopes on reinforcements, but judging from the current situation, these people in his hands will not hold out until dawn.
Unless he scatters everyone and hides them in the homes of the common people.
But in that case, once everyone outside the city enters the city and searches from house to house, it will really be over.
As for escaping, Ono Taro would not have considered it.
The reason why he chose to be a soldier was to take revenge, and in order to take revenge, he had to climb up step by step.
If he runs away now, even if he can save his life temporarily, let alone continue to be promoted, Nomura Toshio and the military department will not let him go!
Therefore, if you want to survive, you must grit your teeth and survive this hurdle at this time.
In Jilin City, Nomura Toshio waited until after nine o'clock in the evening, and did not wait for the soldier sent to Huadian, and immediately realized that something was wrong.
He immediately ordered Akai Akimoto to rush to Huadian with a squadron of Japanese troops, and at the same time ordered some Japanese puppet garrisons around Huadian to quickly rush to reinforcements!
