Chapter 214: The Battle of the Cleanup in the City
In Fushun City, thousands of troops were storming the defensive positions outside the city of the 1st Division and the reinforcements of the 10th Division.
Everywhere there were tongues of fire shuttling back and forth like small meteors, dense bullets whizzing and shuttling, and from time to time someone was shot and fell.
Of course, it is more of an army on the attacking side.
In a forest ten miles west of Fushun, Noda Bugu was anxiously pacing back and forth in the makeshift headquarters.
Several high-powered radios next to him were ticking and ticking.
"General, the Chinese army has entered the north gate of Shenyang, and is currently expanding the occupied area, and the south of the city is also in a bitter battle." Suddenly, a communications soldier took off his headset and stood up in salute and reported.
Noda Bugu stopped, raised his hand and said: "Send a telegram to Commander Shunroku Hata, we have been strongly blocked by the Shina army in Fushun, and we are currently trying to attack, please hold on." ”
The communications soldier saluted, sat down and quickly sent the message.
Noda Bugu looked at the night sky outside and sighed without a trace, he didn't know what the final result of this battle would be tonight, but he knew that if he couldn't break through the resistance of the new army in the northeast of Fushun before dawn.
Then his army of 60,000 will face annihilation.
"Herald!" Noda Bugu suddenly shouted outside.
"Sir, what do you command?" A devil messenger dodged in with a rifle on his back, stood up and saluted.
"Order the attacking troops, before dawn must capture Fushun and open the way for the imperial army to advance!" Noda Bugu Rin said.
"Hay!" The devil herald suddenly bowed his head, and then turned around and walked away quickly.
…………………… In Fushun City, Huang Xiansheng and several of his subordinates were braving the rain of bullets to climb the head of the West City Gate.
In the positions outside the city, flares that rose from time to time had illuminated the entire night sky as bright as day.
Huang Xiansheng could clearly see that the crowds of Yue troops were launching a wave charge towards their own positions regardless of life and death.
All kinds of light and heavy firepower on his own position suddenly opened up, and the dense rain of bullets was like a chain of life-devouring fire intertwined into a rain of death.
Under the blow of crossfire, the attacking devils fell in pieces.
"Division, Commander-in-Chief Zhang is calling!" At this time, a communications adjutant hurried up to the city with a telegram in his hand.
"Read!" Huang Xiansheng commanded without looking back.
"This is the main force of Shenyang to escape from the army, we must make every effort to intercept it under the city of Fushun, the main force of our new army is clearing the remnants of Shenyang, and the air force will be able to give you air fire support after dawn, please hold on until the main force completes the encirclement, annihilates the enemy in Shenyang, and wins a big victory, Zhang Xinghan, commander-in-chief of the new army in the northeast." The adjutant of communications read it quickly.
"Got it, call back to the commander-in-chief, with me Huang Xiansheng here, there will never be any problems in Fushun City, please rest assured!" Huang Xiansheng waved his hand and signaled.
"Yes!" The communications adjutant saluted and turned to head down the city.
…………………… In the city of Shenyang, it is called the army headquarters.
"Your Excellency General, Chief of Staff Noda is in trouble in Fushun, but Chief of Staff Noda said that he will capture Fushun as soon as possible and open the way to evacuation and transfer." A left-behind soldier Shaozo saluted Shunroku Hata.
"Got it." Shunroku Hata nodded with an awe-inspiring expression and asked again, "How is the situation outside?" ”
"The people of China have already attacked the city from the north and west, and are advancing to the southeast, the imperial army is trying its best to resist, and the positions outside the city in the direction of the south gate are already in danger, and it is estimated that they will not last long." The devil Shaozuo replied tremblingly.
Toshiroku Hata closed his eyes in despair, and immediately transferred 60,000 troops, and the strength of the imperial army in Shenyang and the new army in the Northeast instantly changed from basically equal to absolute disadvantage.
Moreover, after so many days of fierce fighting, now that the back road is desperate, the morale and spirit of the army in Shenyang have been consumed to a relatively low level.
The combat effectiveness is no longer the same as before the war, and now it is completely supported by a bushido spirit of death.
Shunroku Hata understands that the final moment is coming soon, and it won't be long.
After waving his hand at Shaozo and signaling him to leave, Shunroku Hata lit a cigarette again and began to wait quietly for the final moment.
........................ "Rush! "At the north gate of Shenyang, Ge Quanwu, the commander of the 10th Regiment of the Reading Division, was rushing into the city with a machine gun and his subordinates.
After the Battle of Guanjiabao, Zhang Xinghan quickly replenished Ge Quanwu's regiment.
Since the other two main regiments of the 10th Division were all deployed to Fushun, Ge Quanwu's regiment was once again pulled onto the battlefield.
With the assistance of the 10th Tank Regiment of the Reading Division, together with the 2nd and 4th Divisions, the friendly troops of the 4th Division broke into Shenyang City from the northwest and were responsible for clearing the remnants of the enemy in the city.
Ge Quanwu led about a company of infantry along a street to attack in a southeasterly direction.
About a few hundred meters had just been advanced, and the windows and walls of several houses in front of them suddenly protruded the muzzles of a machine gun with a black hole, followed by a piercing roar of machine guns.
Tongues of fire formed a dense network of crossfire, and several soldiers in front of Ge Quanwu couldn't dodge, and were shot on the spot and fell in a pool of blood.
Ge Quanwu hurriedly rolled on the spot, and the soldiers who followed behind him fell down one after another, hiding in the ruined buildings on both sides of the street.
Ge Quanwu observed and found that the devils had deployed at least three heavy machine guns and four or five light machine guns in the houses in front of them, forming a dense crossfire to block their way forward.
Immediately turned his head and shouted: "Artilleryman, bombard it for Lao Tzu!" ”
More than a dozen grenadiers and artillerymen who followed suit set up their own 50mm grenadiers and 60mm mortars.
Although the caliber of these two light weapons is not large, they are easy to carry, and they are most suitable for use by companies and platoon-level troops as offensive firepower.
The divisions and regiments of the Northeast New Army have a large amount of equipment.
In a short time, two 60 mortars and four 50 grenadiers were erected one after another.
The first to fire were four grenadiers, which were much simpler and more convenient than mortars.
"Tom tom ......tom" There were a few muffled sounds, and four small grenades whizzed and landed near the two heavy machine gun fire points of the devil, exploding with a bang.
The two heavy machine guns suddenly stopped firing, but before the smoke cleared, they began to roar again.
Obviously, the devils have reinforced the building, and ordinary small grenades can't help them at all.
"Tom tom ......" two more muffled sounds, and two mortars also fired.
"Boom ......" two deafening explosions sounded almost simultaneously, and the dazzling fire instantly engulfed the two devil machine gunners along with their machine gun bunkers, and a crooked light machine gun directly fell silent.
"Okay, keep fucking his bitch!" Ge Quanwu said loudly and excitedly.
The main gunner began to adjust the two mortars to fire at Zhu Yuan, and after several shots, the light machine gun bunkers of the devils were destroyed one by one.
However, the heavy machine gun bunker was helpless, and the bullet rain composed of three heavy machine guns was a little blind spot.
But Ge Quanwu understood that if he attacked and charged like this, the casualties would definitely not be small.
"Tuanza, I'll lead someone to rush up and blow it up." A captain officer was a little impulsive.
"No, there's no need to take the surnames of many brothers for these little devils, wait a while, find two tanks to come and help us, go quickly!" Ge Quanwu's breath was a little short.
"Yes!" The captain and company commander hurriedly got up and left quickly.
"Fire cover!" Ge Quanwu picked up the machine gun in his hand and opened fire violently, and the hot bullet hit near one of the heavy machine gun fire points of the devil, and the broken bricks and stones of the wall that were shot suddenly fell away.
Submachine guns, rifles, and machine guns in the hands of other officers and men also opened fire, and the dense bullets suddenly hit the streets with dust and smoke and sparks.
Several machine gunners even lay on the ground, set up general-purpose machine guns, and began to shoot short bursts at the devil's shooting holes by taking advantage of the blind spots of the devil's heavy machine guns.
The captain, company commander, under the cover of the fire of his companions, smoothly ran along the side of the street and quickly towards the road from which he came.
Several artillerymen also opened fire from time to time, which blocked the devil's vision, and he had to fire frantically and blindly.
It didn't take long for Ge Quanwu and his soldiers to hear a deafening roar of engines behind them.
Hurriedly looked back, only to see two bright and dazzling lights shining over, illuminating their eye masks painfully, and they had to bow their heads to dodge.
"Tuanza, it's our tank, the tank is up." A soldier in the corner shouted excitedly.
Soon, two No. 4 tanks arrived one after the other, and the captain and company commander jumped out from behind one of the tanks, and quickly rushed to Ge Quanwu's side.
"The regimental seat, the two iron bumps of the first battalion of the tank regiment, were stopped by me!"
"Good job..."Ge Quanwu changed the barrel of the general-purpose machine gun in his hand with the help of the ammunition man, and said, "Prepare to charge." ”
At this time, the three firing points of the devil have already discovered the sudden arrival of two tanks, for these two large uninvited guests.
The Devil Soldiers were so terrified that the Heavy went crazy and rained all the bullets on the No. 4 tank at the head.
The dense bullets hit the tank, and there was no other use than a series of dazzling sparks.
When attacked, the tank crews no longer needed Ge Quanwu's orders, and the main gunners began to adjust the muzzles under the command of the commander.
The two side-by-side machine guns on the tank also began to fire fiercely and returned fire, and two dazzling tongues of fire rushed towards the devil's firing point.
Soon the tank guns were aimed at the firepower point of the happiest devil among them.
There was a muffled "tom ......", and a 75mm armor-piercing bullet whistled under the flames and flew towards one of the machine gun fire points of the devil.
......With a loud bang, the armor-piercing bullet easily penetrated the fortifications built by the devils, and the scorching heat and explosion shock wave caused several devil soldiers in that firepower point to die instantly.
Then, the tank crews did the same, and easily took out the other two firing points of the devil.
Seeing that the obstacle had been removed, Ge Quanwu jumped up and shouted, "Brothers, rush with me!" ”
"Rush, kill!" Hundreds of officers and soldiers suddenly poured out from both sides of the street, following Ge Quanwu and rushing forward.
The two No. 4 tanks also roared forward, and with the coordination of the infantry, the machine gunners on the tanks were vigilantly setting up their machine guns, ready to open fire.
