********************************************************************

Maeda Ye and the senior officers obviously did not predict the nature of the sudden attack of the Nationalist Army, let alone that the Nationalist Army could quietly concentrate such a large force on the city and plunge into the battle with a strong dense group. They were only anxious to drive out the enemy who rushed into the city, but they did not expect that the counterattack of the Japanese troops after receiving the order was not to concentrate all their strength, but to throw in batches.

What's more, the feint attack of the Nationalist Army outside the South Gate and the extensive and scattered roundabout battles in the city also restrained a lot of enemy forces, greatly reducing the strength of Maeda's mobile forces to counterattack.

……………

The blinding light came suddenly, followed by the clatter of machine guns, and the soldiers of the pioneer platoon, who rushed into the street but were caught off guard, fell to the ground in a hail of bullets.

The assault regiment advanced along the way, opened the way with firepower, and successively routed several small Japanese troops until they reached West Street, where they finally met with organized and stubborn resistance.

The Japanese troops sent by Caomen and the enemy headquarters, totaling more than 300 people, under the cover of combat vehicles and armored vehicles, blocked the northward advance of the assault regiment by separate routes and tried to counterattack.

"Quack ......" A tank spewed tongues of fire amid a terrifying scream, followed by two armored vehicles, followed by a jumping, howling little monster that pressed fiercely down the street.

If it were history, the officers and men of the country would definitely have to pay a great price, and they would have to go through a human bullet attack that was not afraid of sacrifice in order to defeat this behemoth, and even be pressed back to stabilize their position.

But now, the devils obviously overestimate the power of their mechanized equipment, especially in street battles, where the power of tanks and armored vehicles is discounted.

The forward was frustrated, and the troops behind quickly dispersed, looking for concealment in houses, lanes, alleys, walls, etc., and opened fire. The Steelfist Shooter raised his weapon and aimed at the enemy's tanks and armored vehicles from a hidden spot. The grenade launcher also shoots grenades at the enemy behind the tank and armor behind the cover.

"Boom!" A steel fist spewed tail flames from a doorway on the side of the street, and the tank that rumbled in the middle of the explosion, in the light and smoke of the explosion, the invincible tank immediately lay down and stopped in the thick smoke.

Almost at the same time as the steel fist was fired, the launcher quickly crouched down and left the place without even observing the results. Sure enough, the flames and smoke from which the steel fist was fired were quickly hit by Japanese fire, and machine gun bullets rained down on the armored vehicles.

"Boom, boom, boom!" Several grenades flew out from behind the cover in a curved manner, either hit the armored vehicle and bounced off, or fell to the ground and exploded, obscuring the view from the smoke of gunfire.

Bright flames lit up, and the two launchers took the opportunity to fire their steel fists, using their memory and estimation to attack the armored vehicle in the smoke of gunfire.

Rumble! A steel fist hit the target, and the thin-skinned armored car was destroyed and rolled over, dying in the pyrotechnics.

Another steel fist flew past the armored car and hit a high wall next to the street with a bang, causing some damage to the devil infantry behind the armored car.

One of the remaining armored vehicles hurriedly stopped and began to reverse. On the one hand, I had to get out of the way of the extra steel barrier in front of me, and on the other hand, I felt horror and fear. The expected repulsion of the enemy and inflicting heavy casualties did not materialize, but was quickly destroyed by the anti-armor weapons carried by the enemy's infantry, which made the Japanese devils not know what to do for a while.

Under the cover of smoke, another steel fist was fired, chasing the retreating armored vehicle and striking it, finally paralyzing and destroying it with an explosion.

Infantry to infantry, fierce exchanges of fire between the enemy and the enemy. The Japanese devils, having lost their superiority in armor, did not lose their fighting spirit and stubbornly and desperately blocked the advance of our army.

Relying on their numerical superiority, our soldiers launched a fierce attack on the enemy with machine guns, shotguns, submachine guns, and grenades. The corpses of the enemy and the enemy at the front of the street were pillowing each other, the ground was covered with mutilated blades and stains of blood, surrounded by sharp shouts, suppressed moans, and the fierce battle was advancing to a climax step by step.

There were fewer and fewer devils in front of them, the resistance was getting weaker and weaker, and the National X Army was equipped with weapons in a targeted manner, and finally gained the upper hand in the street fighting. In particular, the grenade launcher, which can shoot straight and curved, and has a fast firing speed, completely suppresses the grenadier canister of the devil.

Boom, boom! In the continuous explosions, several walls were blasted open in the smoke and dust, and a dense number of bullets were fired from the smoke, followed by figures rushing out.

Breaking the wall to fight, although it is still rusty, but in the end it is used. The forces of the two platoons broke through the wall with cluster grenades, opening a gap in the Devils' line and also breaking the stalemate.

Taking advantage of the confusion of the devils, the main force launched a round of strong attack, and under the cover of various firepower, it broke through this east-west horizontal street in one fell swoop, leaving only part of the troops to fight with the remnants of the enemy, and the brigade continued to attack and advance to the north.

Although it was the first time for Yang Tianfeng to use this tactic to conduct a battle, he was extremely resolute in implementing this advanced experience.

The enemy's line of defense has been broken through, and the whole line will inevitably be shaken, and the friendly forces on the left and right flanks will soon break through. If you break through a little and spread your wings in a roundabout, I am afraid that you will take the old road of step-by-step and layer by layer.

After this blockade, the artillery of the rear team also caught up. The assault troops led by Yang Tianfeng successively knocked on the fire points of the devils along the way, broke through the resistance of small Japanese troops, and quickly advanced to the vicinity of Henan University, the headquarters of the devils.

…………

The situation of the battle in the castle was unknown, many troops had lost contact, and there was no way to decide on countermeasures, so Maeda and other devil officers silently faced each other, and the atmosphere was tense and depressing.

Osamu Maeda, who has never smoked, reached out to a devil staff officer and asked for a cigarette, but waved his hand to refuse his ignition, put the cigarette under his nose, sniffed it vigorously, and smiled for a while, obviously intended to dilute the dull atmosphere, but made people feel the bitterness hidden in it.

He patted his forehead lightly and said, "Although the enemy's attack is sudden and fierce, I think that with the tenacity of the imperial army, they will definitely be counterattacked. Even if the counterattack fails, it is already dawn, and reinforcements from the various strongholds outside the city should arrive. Misfortune and blessing rely on, and blessing and misfortune lurk. Maybe this time it will be able to inflict heavy damage on the enemy and make them collapse. ”

Yoshikawa Sadasa, who hid in the headquarters for safety, blinked for a while and said: "Judging from the current war situation, local contingency measures can no longer fundamentally reverse the overall situation, and we must wait for changes in external conditions. We need to hold back the besieging enemy and use space to gain time. Fighting is like a game of chess, and it is often won by risk. Success or failure often depends on the correctness or error of command, rather than on the strength or strength of the moment. I think we can give up holding on to the city gate and concentrate our forces for the long term. ”

"Yoshikawa-kun, I agree with you, but it's a little too early to give up the city gate, let's ......"

Before Maeda's words fell, a continuous explosion suddenly sounded outside, followed by a burst of gunshots. An officer rushed over in a hurry, shouting as he ran: "The enemy has hit the gate!" ”

It was like a thunderbolt hitting the top of the head, and the people present were all stunned, but Maeda Osamu calmed down, and was the first to react, shouting: "Don't panic, calm down, this is just a small group of armed forces taking advantage of the gap to sneak attack, organize troops to counterattack immediately, and destroy them." ”

It really made Maeda Ye right, what came here was a small roundabout army, a total of more than 30 people, they were interspersed in the streets and alleys, but they came faster than the main attacking force. On the march, they attacked a group of enemy running reinforcements, and then detoured back to the vicinity of the enemy's headquarters.

The enemy's headquarters was surrounded by high walls, equipped with power grids, and heavily guarded. And the devils in front of the gate come in and out, and the roof inside is set up with antennas, and anyone can judge that this is an important department of the enemy.

The small force stealthily approached the gate and attacked suddenly, inflicting heavy casualties on the enemy with heavy fire. But soon, more than 100 devils drove out violently, counterattacked and chased after this small team of sneak attacks. The small team fought and retreated, but the devil chased after him.

The Devil Commander brandished his sword and urged his team to pursue with hoarse shouts and curses. Suddenly, dense fire poured from behind the devil's side, and more than a dozen devils fell to the ground, and he was almost hit.

Looking back, there was a figure flashing at the entrance of an alley behind the side, shooting in this direction while leaning on the house, and blowing the whistle of communication. It seems that another enemy detachment has come to reinforce it.

The devils divided their troops to attack, chasing these two small teams, but they didn't expect to crash headlong into the assault force led by Yang Tianfeng.

A fierce fire was poured head-on, followed by a fierce attack by a large number of infantry, and a group of pursuing devils were caught off guard, and they were quickly defeated and retreated. The battle had been going on for almost five hours, and the assault troops had finally reached the headquarters of the devils.

It was already dawn, but in the city it was still not as clear as in the flat field, and the battles seemed to have spread throughout the city, and there were explosions and gunfire everywhere.

The chaotic battle had an effect, greatly restraining the Japanese troops scattered in the city, and also causing Maeda Ye and others to hesitate and miscalculate. In addition to the relatively certain number of enemies faced by Nanguan and the railway station, it is difficult to estimate the number of enemy troops attacking the city. Coupled with their own pride, until now, they have not sent a telegram asking for help.

The assault team led by Yang Tianfeng arrived and launched an attack, but it was only a tentative one, and after fighting with the devils in front of the gate, they retreated.

At this time, the casualties of the assault team were close to two hundred, and there were still more than four hundred soldiers left in Yang Tianfeng's hands, but according to his judgment, there were not many troops in the devil's headquarters.

This is a mathematical calculation problem that is not complicated: two squadrons of the railway station and the Nanguan garrison; The North Gate, the West Gate, and the Cao Gate, including the Song Gate, which has already been conquered, will have at least one team stationed at the gate; There will be at least two or three hundred people who intercept and block the assault regiment; Coupled with the Japanese troops in the city who were pinned down by the other two assault brigades and many roundabout squads, as well as the Japanese troops that Yang Tianfeng and they rushed all the way to destroy, there are now more than 200 devils in the headquarters at most.
