1100. The Siege of the City

At this time, all the light and heavy machine guns of the third battalion were desperate to pour bullets at this section of the tower, and the devils on the tower were either killed or unable to raise their heads.

But the devil was still able to throw down the grenade, and the continuous grenade explosions knocked over two door panels and several daredevils one after another.

Finally the Demoman loaded the explosives and pulled a few fuses at the same time, and everyone ran into the trench with all their might, not even the door panels.

There was a deafening loud bang behind everyone, and a huge shock wave swept up the masonry and mud like a hurricane, and swooped down on the dog-legged dogs like a mountain, almost burying them in the trench.

In the battalion command post that moved forward, Luo Zhicheng's hand holding the telescope trembled slightly, not knowing if it was caused by the ground trembling or his own excitement.

In the telescope, I clearly saw the section of the West Gate Tower of Fengxin City, which was blown open with a big opening, and the flames were soaring into the sky, like a huge firework, shining brightly in the night sky.

"Stormtroopers!"

Luo Zhicheng was excited, but he didn't forget to command, as soon as the words fell, I don't know how many charging horns were sounded around, and the whole regiment and even the whole division were waiting, waiting for this moment.

In fact, as soon as the devil's gun sounded upstairs in Fengxincheng, the nerves of the whole division were tense, and almost all the commanders and fighters were staring, and the troops in charge of the main attack had already taken their places and moved to the predetermined position while it was night.

Now that the city wall has been blown down, it is natural to charge with all its might, as are the three infantry companies of the three battalions.

Several people from the sharp knife platoon of the Eighth Company Death Squad are still buried in the trench, and they are struggling to pull them out and take a breath, when they find that they are surrounded by the feet and necks of their own people charging by.

Once the city was broken and attacked by the Chinese army and inserted into the city, the Japanese commander knew that he was powerless, after all, the headquarters on the Nanchang side had already ordered them to prepare for retreat.

The Nanchang side no longer wanted to defend Fengxin, and the Japanese troops on Fengxin's side had no fighting spirit, and they were ready to retreat.

Because if you don't retreat, it will be too late, and the back road connecting Fengxin and Nanchang will be cut off by the Chinese army from north to south, and Fengxin will become an isolated city at that time.

Therefore, after the Japanese army saw that the city was broken, they immediately organized a retreat at the east gate, leaving only the broken troops to block and delay the attack speed of the Chinese army that broke into the city.

Even though the Japanese troops who blocked the attack knew that the large force was retreating, they still desperately held on to the strong stronghold in the center of the city, and the commander of the 51st Division saw this and ordered a small force to be left to contain the stubbornly defending Japanese army.

The other main forces went all out to pursue the main Japanese forces retreating from the east gate.

The third battalion followed the 152nd Regiment to pursue the main force of the Japanese army, and chased all the way to the place of Tianmilin, before catching up with the enemy's broken rear troops, biting and fighting together with other brother troops.

The execution of the Japanese army was indeed very thorough, and the remaining troops fought like holding their positions, let alone in temporary positions.

There was a hill on the side of the Tianmilin Road, and the Japanese army could only rely on such a little terrain advantage to temporarily construct a circular position, and the third battalion was ordered to solve this Japanese position here.

Due to the rush of pursuit, most of the heavy weapons of the third battalion were not brought with them, and they could not bring them, and they could not get up quickly with heavy machine guns and mortars anyway.

Most of the infantry companies only brought some bullets with them, and most of the grenades were thrown away in the street battle in Fengxin City just now.

The squad used machine guns, and the bullets were almost consumed in the street fighting, and there were only two people left in a machine gun team, one carrying bullets and the other carrying machine guns, and they were following up with difficulty, and only a few have arrived one after another until now.

Seeing this, Luo Zhicheng had to let the troops deploy first and surround the hill of Tianmilin, while the troops outside the third battalion went beyond the attack and continued to pursue the main force of the Japanese army.

Luo Zhicheng thought that the main force of the Japanese army had fled far away, and the devil after this point was cut off was simply left to die, in the battle of the large corps, what was the use of leaving such a little people.

Looking at this position, at most, it is a squadron of men and horses, but I don't know what the Japanese army thinks, just to leave such a few people, and use it as a thorn in the pursuit of the Chinese army.

Pity this squadron that was used as a thorn, and sacrifice it like this.

Although Luo Zhicheng is a little unworthy for these devils, he can't look down on others because of this, you must know that devils are particularly vicious when they are exhausted, and no one can afford to provoke them.

The three battalions are cautiously deploying their troops, and Luo Zhiwei originally wanted to surround Sanque Yi, but this gap is not good to put anywhere at once, except for the direction of Nanchang in the east, it is estimated that the devils are not willing to rush out.

The bigger problem is that it's easy to say that the devils slipped away, but in case the devils who slipped out caused big trouble, such as biting other large units of the Chinese army and disrupting the entire pursuit deployment, the three battalions couldn't eat and walked away.

But it is very difficult to surround the devil and hold it down, unless there are a large number of troops, even a large number of troops, Luo Zhicheng is not very willing to fight that kind of crowd tactic.

The other side of the crowd tactics is that the number of casualties will increase significantly, but the population base of the crowd is large, and the casualty figure looks inconspicuous.

If it is a strategic location or a position that is very urgent and has to be fought immediately, then the casualty figure is a little larger, and there is no way, so it must be attacked.

But now this position is nothing, as long as the devils don't come out to make trouble, the rest can be solved slowly.

In view of this operational thinking, and the lack of offensive weapons, the third battalion scattered its forces without haste, and surrounded the small hill of Tianmilin.

Attack the city for the bottom, attack the heart for the top.

Although Luo Zhicheng knew that the tactics of sending people to call the surrender of the Japanese army were useless for these beast soldiers, what if it was useful?

This may still have some effect, the devil becomes a lonely army, and the end of the dead guard is a dead end, go and shout, in case it will make the devil's heart move? Ants are still stealing life, let alone people.

Even if it's useless, it's okay to disturb the military morale of the devils, so that they can't resolutely and uniformly defend it.

Therefore, Luo Zhi sent Xia Chen, Chen Yanxin, and Wang Xinjia, who knew Japanese, with some homemade microphones, to start shouting at the devils on the hill.

At this time, it was the second half of the night, and the sound of the chase and killing of the large army had already disappeared, and it was still relatively quiet here, and the shouting was very clear and reached the devil's hill.

The words are to the same effect, that is, to persuade the Japanese army not to hold on to the death, to go down the mountain to ensure their lives, to think more about their parents, wives and children in their hometown, and to give them a healthy and safe you......

Chen Yanxin and the others shouted several times in a row, but they didn't see a response from the devil, but the interesting thing is that the devil didn't react too much, if it was before, the devil would have done it a few times.

There is play. Luo Zhicheng told Chen Yanxin that they were not in a hurry to force the devils and give them a time for psychological transformation, and at the same time, the third battalion did not attack or relax, but took turns to rest, seize the time to rest, and come to solve them during the day.
