Chapter 314: Fighting Yongle Town Again (6)
When they rushed to the dock, the two warriors quickly rushed to the two wooden boats locked to the edge of the pool, cut the cables with a single sword, and then pulled the wooden boats towards the opposite shore with all their might. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info
The Imperial Association Army guarding the city wall, seeing that the West Gate was broken by the Eighth Road, where is the fighting spirit? Taking advantage of the devil's inattention, he turned around and ran towards the town.
The remaining Japanese troops were so beaten by the fire on the opposite bank that they couldn't raise their heads, and at this time they saw that the West Gate was broken by the Eighth Road, so they had to concentrate their forces and rush towards the West Gate, trying to recapture the West Gate.
It's a pity that Su Xiaopeng saw that the west gate had been broken, and immediately commanded two battle groups to quickly rush in, fighting fiercely with the devils who rushed down from the city wall.
There were only about 30 devils guarding the West Gate, which was the same number as Su Xiaopeng's second squadron, but these devils were suppressed by fire on the other side of the river, losing more than a dozen soldiers, and the remaining 20 or so soldiers had to prevent the back eight roads from crossing the river and Su Xiaopeng's team, so they were naturally powerless.
In particular, the devil who was responsible for blocking the eight-way crossing the river was accurately shot by Shi Hu and two snipers, and seven people fell in a blink of an eye, and the remaining devils could only lie on the city wall and shoot indiscriminately outside.
The two wooden boats quickly reached the opposite shore, the third squadron quickly got on board, and the three fighters immediately helped pull the ropes, and the speed of the boat immediately increased, and in less than five minutes, it reached the opposite shore.
The addition of the third squadron made the devils on the city wall understand that the general trend had gone, so they had to fight and leave, and gave up the West Gate.
Liu Tianshu saw that Ximen had been controlled by the reconnaissance brigade, and immediately commanded the first company and second company of the third battalion of the second regiment to quickly enter the town by boat.
When Matsui Gen learned that Ximen had fallen into the hands of Hachiro, his face turned pale immediately.
As a commander, he knew what it meant for Simon to be breached.
Sure enough, before he could mobilize his troops to launch a counterattack at the west gate, he learned that he had entered the town's eighth road and rushed towards the south gate.
The devils and the Imperial Association Army defending the south gate were hit by the eight roads and could no longer hold on. Under the command of the wise Matsui Ne, he abandoned the south gate and quickly withdrew to Higashiyama.
As for the headquarters set up in the town, immediately after the West Gate was breached, it began to move towards the East Mountain.
The commander of the first battalion commanded the troops to rush into the town smoothly, and after meeting with Liu Tianshu, the troops immediately divided into two roads and approached in the direction of Dongshan and Beishan, while at the same time, the third battalion and one company of the second regiment began to clear the remnants of the enemy in the town.
Some of the Imperial Alliance troops who abandoned the formation and fled, failed to retreat into Dongshan with Matsui in time, and saw the Eighth Route rushing in, so in desperation, they had to choose to surrender to the Eighth Route Army.
However, the 1st Battalion and the 3rd Battalion and the 2nd Company still ran into trouble when they attacked the East and North Mountains.
This Matsui root is really not a simple character, when he built the Dongshan fortifications, he took into account how to hold on to the Dongshan fortifications and wait for reinforcements once Yongle Town was captured by the Eighth Road. Therefore, in the direction of facing the town, fortifications were also built, and the attack of the 1st battalion to the Dongshan position was blocked by the fire of the devil's dark fortress and had to stop.
At the same time, the same was true of the three battalions and one company that attacked Beishan.
Liu Tianshu learned that the attack on Beishan and Dongshan had been blocked, and immediately asked the first battalion commander to stop the attack.
He rushed to Dongshan with Shi Qiang and Chen Jian, and the soldiers who were lying on the ground were all happy when they saw the regiment commander coming.
Liu Tianshu squatted there and watched for a long time, probably because of the darkness, it was pitch black in front of him, and he couldn't see the situation on the other side at all.
"First battalion commander, flares." Liu Tianshu said in a deep voice.
In the individual equipment of the devil soldiers, there are several flares and flares.
Hearing the words of the regiment commander, the commander of the first battalion immediately signaled to a soldier beside him, who immediately felt out a flare and loaded it, and then fired it at the sky in front of him.
As the flares were raised, the situation on the other side became clear.
Liu Tianshu saw that less than fifty meters in front, a hidden fort of devils blocked the way to attack, and as for the mountain farther away, there should also be a hidden fort.
However, according to Liu Tianshu's estimate, there should be no more than three hidden forts facing the town, you know, it is facing the hidden forts outside the town, according to the second battalion commander, only two were found last time.
"Shi Qiang, are you sure to beat it?" Liu Tianshu turned his head to look at Shi Qiang on the side.
"Captain, it's a piece of cake, you look at ours." Shi Qiang said nonchalantly.
So, Liu Tianshu asked the soldiers of the first battalion to shoot forward and make an offensive appearance, and sure enough, the hidden fort on the opposite side kept spitting out tongues of fire.
Shi Qiang stretched out his hand to a soldier beside him, who handed over a strong crossbow and carefully handed over an incendiary bomb. Shi Qiang put it on unhurriedly, then aimed at the shooting hole of the dark castle and launched it suddenly.
Immediately, the dark castle was surrounded by a ball of fire, and then, Shi Qiang shot two more incendiary bullets, and the fire of the dark castle actually spread inside, as for the bullets fired inside, there were no more.
Seeing this, the commander of the first battalion couldn't help but be overjoyed in his heart, and shouted, and several soldiers quickly rushed out, and in a blink of an eye, they arrived at the dark fort that had turned into a fireball.
The incendiary bombs made by Liu Tianshu, once fired, could not be extinguished unless the gasoline burned out.
After discovering that Balu was attacking the turret with incendiary bombs, the devils also tried to make it with gasoline, but unfortunately the incendiary bombs made could be easily extinguished.
It was the other Eighth Route Army, who learned that the Eighth Route in Fuya Mountain was very effective in attacking the turret with incendiary bombs made of gasoline, and also tried to make their own, but unfortunately the effect was far from good.
Only then did they know that there must have been something else added to the incendiary bomb made by Liu Tianshu.
These soldiers rushed to the side of the burning bunker and immediately threw two grenade shells inside, directly destroying the bunker. And by this time, the gasoline of the incendiary bombs had almost burned out.
After defeating a hidden fort, the hidden fort behind it, Liu Tianshu concocted it in the same way, and in a blink of an eye, he eliminated the two hidden forts set up by Matsui Gen on this side.
Matsui Gen, who was hiding in the central bunker on the top of the mountain, learned that the two bunkers below were attacked by the eight way incendiary bombs, and the soldiers inside suffered heavy casualties, except for the twelve soldiers who fled back to the central bunker along the tunnel, the rest of the soldiers were either burned alive by the fire or were killed in the bunker with grenades by the eight roads that rushed later.
After capturing the two hidden forts, Chen Jian ran over and said that through the interrogation of the prisoners, he had figured out the general situation of the Dongshan and Beishan devil fortification groups.
Hearing the news, Liu Tianshu was overjoyed in his heart and hurriedly asked Chen Jian to elaborate.
After learning that there was a vent in the high part of Dongshan, Liu Tianshu raised his eyebrows and suddenly had an idea.
"Qiangzi, you immediately take someone to collect gasoline, let the captive lead the way, quietly go around to the vent from here, pour gasoline into the vent, since the devil wants to be a mouse, we will roast these rats."
The devil is hiding underground, if you go into the tunnel to pursue, I'm afraid you will be plotted by the devil, not to mention anything else, once you enter the tunnel, the devil will blow up the tunnel, where is the soldier who goes in to live.
Anyway, there are still two hours before dawn, which is enough for Shi Qiang to take people to the vent.
According to the prisoner's confession, Matsui did not have soldiers to guard the position.
Besides, the main purpose of this group of hidden fortifications in Dongshan is to prevent the Eighth Route from attacking Dongshan from the east. Originally, the location of the vent was not far away, and there was a tall turret, but that turret was directly bombarded by a mass last time, and it has not yet been built.
In order to paralyze the enemy, the attack on the east mountain still did not stop, but the central bunker where Matsui Gen was located was a flat open field below, and the central bunker was high up, exceeding the range of the crossbow.
Although the two sides fought fiercely, there was not much progress.
In order to strengthen the power of the central bunker, Matsui Gen has drawn a large number of troops from the two bunkers in the east.
When it was almost dawn, Shi Qiang and his people finally moved to the top of the mountain and found the vent in a hidden corner.
This vent is actually a thick iron pipe, which is not considered to be thick, because people can't get into it.
Shi Qiang picked up the grass and saw the mouth of the pipe, he couldn't help but be overjoyed, and immediately commanded the soldiers to pour all the six barrels of gasoline that he brought up the mountain into it.
Matsui sat in the command room in the dark castle and watched, looking at the map with a bitter face and thinking about the best way to deal with it.
Commander Yokota had clearly told him that it was impossible to get reinforcements in a short period of time, and he had to be prepared to hold out for a long time.
If Matsui Gen was still a little confident before the two hidden forts below were destroyed, but after seeing the two hidden forts being turned into fireballs, he knew that the fortifications he had painstakingly built might not be able to block Liu Tianshu's attack.
Only Liu Tianshu would come up with a way to use incendiary bombs against his dark fortress group.
It is obviously impossible to get out of the encirclement from Dongshan with the troops, because there are mines buried under the Dongshan, although their troops can bypass the mines, but that will inevitably affect the speed, besides, if they leave the strong fortifications and conduct field battles outside, they may not be Liu Tianshu's opponents.
The friendly forces that came out of the Qufeng stronghold to reinforce were quickly eaten by the Eighth Route is a realistic example.
As he was frustrating and trying to figure out what to do, suddenly, a drop of icy liquid fell on his face.
He looked up suspiciously, and saw that there seemed to be liquid dripping from the ventilation duct on the roof, and he sniffed it carefully, but there was a smell of gasoline.
Suddenly, Matsui Gen's face changed drastically, and he shouted to get out of here.
Just as Matsui was in a hurry to order the troops to withdraw from the bunker, Shi Qiang threw a lit match into the ventilation duct, and immediately a stream of flames came out of the vent.
After a while, I saw black smoke rising from many places in Dongshan, and explosions occurred in some places.
Liu Tianshu, Pang Fuyong, and the commander of the first battalion were guarding the bottom of the mountain and watching the movement on the mountain, and suddenly, in the early morning, there was a faint fire on the east mountain, and then there were explosions in several places.
As the explosion sounded, countless figures emerged from the ground, like ghosts. The three of them were dumbfounded. (To be continued.) )
