Chapter Eighty-Five: The Trapped Beast Continues to Fight
Half an hour later, the infantry of the 137 Mountain Infantry Regiment and the 181 Infantry Division arrived one after another.
According to Dieter's order, the 3rd Mountain Division and the 181st Infantry Division served as the main attack, and the 137th Mountain Infantry Regiment and the Field Survey Regiment suffered heavy losses in breaking through the defenders' outlying positions, so they would serve as assisters in street battles.
After receiving the order, Chen Dao found Colonel Dogen, the commander of the 137th Mountain Infantry Regiment, and after the two discussed it next to the map, Chen Dao successfully persuaded Colonel Dogen, who was also bold, and the two decided to turn the assist into the main attack, and won the first credit for recovering Trondheim City in one fell swoop.
After the two reached a consensus, they immediately began to deploy troops. Colonel Dogen assigned his three battalions to Chen Dao's command, and Chen Dao assigned five No. 4G tanks and five Type 251 armored vehicles to strengthen Dogen.
Their troops were in the south-east of the city of Trondheim, and the road from the city of Trondheim to Schedal was north-east of the city. Chen Dao decided to lead his troops to attack from south to north close to the eastern part of the city, cutting off the retreat of the defenders in the city in one fell swoop. Colonel Dogen led his troops to protect Tran's left flank.
After the attack began, Chen Dao stood in front of the bandit's No. 1 carriage, looked at the high-rise buildings that were getting closer and closer, and said in his heart that the bandits and the street fighting had really formed an indissoluble bond.
Following behind the infantry, Chen Dao's Bandit No. 1 slowly advanced north. Chen Dao leaned on the front of the car and saw that the east side of the road was a flat field, and the east side of the field was a high mountain.
Carefully observing the fields with binoculars, Chen Dao did not find any figures.
Turning the telescope to the uneven buildings on the left, Chen Daoxin said it seemed that he only needed to pay attention to the west side of the road.
After walking more than 500 meters, the road turns left. As soon as the infantry in front had turned the corner, Chen Dao heard the sound of gunfire around the corner, followed by screams and shouts.
Bandit No. 1 stopped on the side of the road, and Chen Dao jumped out of the car and ran to a few mountain infantry on the corner.
Letting the infantry get out of the way, Chen Dao leaned against the wall and stretched out his right hand to the two orderlies who followed him, and one of the orderlies immediately took out the rearview mirror of a motorcycle from his shoulder bag and handed it to Chen Dao.
Chen Dao held the metal pole and stuck the mirror out of the wall, seeing the road stretching more than a hundred meters ahead into a residential area.
At this time, the buildings on both sides of the road were occupied by the defenders, who were lying on the windows of each floor and shooting at the Germans, who were scattered in the hollows on both sides of the road to avoid the attack.
Chen Dao saw two pools of blood on the road, and also heard the sound of soldiers, it seemed that some soldiers were injured.
The attack was blocked, but Chen Dao did not panic, because the two No. 4 tanks accompanying them in the attack had already turned the corner one after another.
After a few cannon shots, Chen Dao saw four or five more irregularly shaped holes in the opposite building, and the enemy's firepower immediately weakened.
After a few moments, the enemy fire was completely gone, and the infantry immediately charged the building, and it didn't take long for the battle to end.
As the troops continued to advance, Chen Dao passed the intersection and saw a dozen Polish prisoners standing on the side of the road.
Chen Dao took a closer look around the intersection and found that there was no barbed wire fence or barricades.
Finding a soldier who could speak Polish, Chen Dao briefly interrogated the captured Polish soldiers, and learned that the Polish army was completely unprepared for street fighting.
After their defeat from the suburbs and the retreat to the city, they only resisted by occupying buildings under the leadership of officers, and there were no other defensive measures.
Chen Dao's heart suddenly became much more stable, and he immediately ordered the troops to speed up.
After a few more skirmishes, Chen Dao was completely relieved. The defenders did not cooperate with each other at all, and basically occupied a building and fired guns to block the road. Their weapons were only rifles and machine guns, and even anti-tank guns were few, let alone anti-tank guns.
The German tanks fired a few shots at the buildings, and the remnants of the defeated soldiers lost the courage to resist and obediently surrendered to the German infantry who rushed into the buildings.
After finding out the details of the defenders, Chen Dao readjusted his deployment, ordered the tanks in front and the infantry in the rear, and quickly marched to the northeast corner of the city of Trondheim.
In a residential area northeast of Trondheim by the sea, Latay hid in a two-story building in the center of the residential area, looking out of a window in horror.
Outside the window, his company of guards was engaged in a fierce exchange of fire with a group of militants dressed in civilian clothing, and from time to time bullets hit the window, and broken glass fell to the ground.
Lathai hid behind the wall with a pistol in hand, cursing the militants who fell from the sky, disrupting his command and blocking his escape.
Besieging the Latay command were the Brandenburg troops and the Ghislings.
Not long after the British occupied Trondheim, the British troops were under the guidance of the Gislings and the British army set their sights on the British headquarters here. They have been lurking until now, and they have finally found an opportunity to make a move, ready to take out this command in one fell swoop.
The Brandenburg forces worked closely with the Ghislings to take up several buildings around the headquarters by means of surprise attacks, and then began to lay siege to the headquarters in Latai.
Latai's guards were quick to respond, quickly using the terrain and walls around the headquarters as cover to fight the unidentified militants and protect Latai'i.
The battle was stalemate until about six o'clock in the afternoon, when a No. 4 tank turned around the corner and appeared in front of Latai's guard company.
Tank No. 4 turned its body, aimed its guns at the soldiers of the Latay Guard Company, fired three shells in a row, and killed the three machine guns of the Guard Company, and the fire of the Latay Guard Company immediately weakened.
When the second, third, and even fourth tanks appeared in the sight of the Polish troops, the morale of the Latay guard company completely collapsed.
Seeing a white flag sticking out of the window on the second floor, Chen Daoxin said that this bandit can be regarded as a successful beheading, and he hopes that there will be a few more big fish inside.
Before the street fighting broke out, Chen Dao had already made contact with the Brandenburg troops in Trondheim, and when he learned that they were going to behead the defenders' headquarters, Chen Dao immediately offered to participate in the operation.
After obtaining the address of the garrison headquarters from the Brandenburg troops, Chen Dao was pleased to find that the garrison headquarters was also in the northeast of the city, which further strengthened Chen Dao's confidence in winning the first prize.
After more than two hours of fighting, and countless stragglers who routed the defenders along the way, Chen Dao finally led his men to break through the defenders' defense line and rushed to the northeast of the city of Trondheim, where he saw the surrender of Latay with his own eyes.
After capturing Latay alive, Chen Dao immediately asked the interpreter to tell Latay to order the defenders of the city to surrender, but it was too late.
By this time, the defenders in the city had already collapsed, and the headquarters of Latay had lost contact with the various departments.
After learning that Latay was already the commander of the light pole, Chen Dao immediately carried out the second step of the work, interrogating Latai.
After a few minutes, Chen Dao turned his gaze to the east.
Half an hour later, the various units of the field investigation team arrived one after another, and after Chen Dao informed Dieter of his movements, he led his troops to Schedal.
