Chapter 221: Attack and Defense Begin
On the night of 19 September, with the help of tank squadrons and artillery brigades, several thousand Japanese troops finally entered the city of Shenyang, and after hard fighting in the middle of the night, Huang Xiansheng's troops were finally driven out of the city.
Now there were only 6,000 Japanese troops left, and after a day and a night of hard fighting, the Japanese army was exhausted, and the commander of the 29th Wing, Aizu Wakamatsu, had to order the attack to be stopped, and the soldiers were allowed to rest on the spot, and everyone prepared for the decisive battle after dawn.
At the temporary command post of the 29th Wing, Wing Captain Aizu Wakamatsu looked at the captain of the artillery group and the commander of the tank squadron in front of him, and slapped it heavily on the military map in front of him:
"Tomorrow morning at eight o'clock, after breakfast, attack. The houses on all sides of the Marshal's Mansion were blown up. I don't believe these flesh drives can survive after these houses are blown up.
After tomorrow, the Marshal's Mansion will be ours, and the glory of attacking Shenyang City will belong to our 29th Wing and all the monarchs here, and the glory of occupying the Marshal's Mansion will also be ours. ”
The next day, just after dawn, the Japanese soldiers began their final pre-battle preparations. At this time, in dozens of civilian houses near the Grand Marshal's Mansion, dozens of fully armed combat teams were also making final preparations for battle.
According to the plan, as long as they persist in the marshal's mansion for two days and two nights, they will be considered to have completed the task. Now they have been guarding the periphery of Dashuai for a day and a night.
As long as they hold for one more day, they will be considered to have completed their mission, where they can choose to retreat on the spot, or they can choose to retreat into the Grand Marshal's Mansion and retreat after some resistance.
It's just that the further back they go, the smaller the enemy's circle, the lower the chance that they will leave alive, but no matter what the outcome, they are ready to surprise the Japanese soldiers before leaving.
Looking at the brothers around them, although the big war was approaching, everyone behaved very calmly, as if it was an ordinary training today.
Yang Xinjun is the first batch of Golden Tiger Rangers, his family is a martial arts family, he has been brave and ruthless since he was a child, and the ruffians in the neighborhoods were beaten by him.
The last time he killed someone, he was sent out of the house by his old father overnight, and through the guarantee of his relatives, he joined the Axe Gang in Shanghai.
He has liked to practice martial arts since he was a child, and he has long heard that the Axe Gang Battle Hall is not only well paid, but only children of martial arts families can join, so he also signed up to come here.
When I came to the battle hall, it was really full of brave and ruthless characters, even if there were no combat missions for hundreds of war hall disciples, they usually had a small fight every three days and a big fight every five days.
Because Yang Xinjun has rich experience in actual combat since he was a child, and he is a righteous person, Yang Xinjun has gained a foothold in the battle hall in just over a year.
But he himself is slowly becoming arrogant. In addition to the legendary gang leader, there are only Qian Shigu and the Black Kill brothers, which makes them a little afraid, and they never take a straight look at other people in Shanghai.
When they saw that Li Tie, who could not resist on his shoulders and could not lift his hands, actually arranged a group of foreign instructors for them, they were still not convinced.
They have practiced against these instructors. With their skills, it is really not difficult to provoke these high-flying German instructors alone.
However, in the next two competitions, they lost too badly, first dozens of people did not beat a team of ten people, and then hundreds of people did not attack the small hill defended by dozens of instructors.
From then on, he, like the other 500 Zhantang disciples, was sent to the mountains, where he learned a series of skills such as lurking, assassination, shooting, climbing, camouflage, and blasting every day.
In the end, they were dragged to the Lingshui base on Hainan Island, where they had to learn to dive, drive a car, row a boat, and learn the most basic airplane piloting.
After two years, they can be regarded as successful in their studies, and every year after that, five hundred new Zhantang disciples will join the special team, but the later Zhantang disciples don't have to learn so many subjects.
In addition to learning some compulsory shooting and stealth, some of these later Zhantang disciples specialized in reconnaissance, some specialized in combat, and some specialized in driving, and their lives were much better.
In addition to the first batch of Golden Tiger Rangers who were given the title of Golden Tiger Rangers, the later Zhantang disciples were awarded the titles of the Second Brigade of the Golden Tiger and the Third Brigade in batches.
The personnel of several brigades also often train together and go on missions. It's just that they also go on the same mission together, and each time a veteran leads five recruits, their first batch of veteran rangers will always be chosen as the leader.
Just like this time, there are a total of fifty combat groups on the periphery of the Great Marshal's Mansion, each team has six people, and each team has one special member of the first batch, two special fighters from the second group and later, plus three members of the Huaxing Escort Team.
There are also 200 death squads in the Grand Marshal's Mansion, all of whom are the first batch of Rangers, whose mission is to provide final cover for the evacuation of the 300 men, including themselves, and the brethren who are carrying out the demolition mission throughout the city.
Or as a reserve when these people can't complete their tasks.
Seeing that it was about to dawn, the figure of the devil a few hundred meters away on the opposite side could be seen clearly. It is said that the Japanese soldiers would cover the attack with artillery fire before attacking.
Therefore, only one person in each battle area is outside to check, and the others are hiding in the tunnel, and when the cannon sounds after a while, they will hide in the tunnel.
Speaking of authenticity, I have to boast about my uncle again. He seemed to have expected such a day. He bought most of the houses on all sides of the Marshal's Mansion early, and dug air-raid shelters under each of the houses, and these holes were connected to each other. As a result, a piece of underground fortress was formed, which was both offensive and defensive.
As long as it is in this fortress, Yang Xinjun has full confidence to fight this blocking battle.
Yang Xinjun, who was hiding behind a low wall to observe the enemy's situation, suddenly found that the enemy in the distance began to hide one after another.
At the same time, the screech of several shells sounded in his ears, and the first shell fell not far from him. With a bang, the dust from the shells blew him up.
He knew that this was a check shell fired by the Japanese army, and soon hundreds of shells would fall. So Yang Xinjun immediately ran into the bomb shelter as fast as he could.
The five team members in the bomb shelter were sitting together and laughing, and everyone was not at all worried about the upcoming battle.
Sure enough, as soon as Yang Xinjun sat down, pieces of cannonballs fell on his head, and the shells fell to the ground with a bang, knocking down the houses on the ground one by one.
After a full 10 minutes of shelling, none of the houses around the Marshal's Mansion were intact.
Because they were afraid of accidentally injuring the nearby Marshal's Mansion, the Japanese army did not use heavy artillery, but used infantry guns and large-caliber mortars to cover the houses around the Marshal's Mansion.
Sure enough, after seeing in the distance that the houses around the Marshal's Mansion had been blown up, the 29th Wing Captain Aizu Wakamatsu put down the binoculars with a smile.
He was very satisfied with the effect of the artillery's attack, no matter how cunning and cunning these enemies were, they were vulnerable in the face of absolute strength.
I saw Aizu Wakamatsu draw his command knife and lightly point a few hundred meters away, and the herald behind him immediately raised the flag of attack, and hundreds of Japanese troops around him began to slowly advance towards the Marshal's Mansion from all directions.
Just when Aizu Wakamatsu thought that it was impossible to resist on a large scale in the ruins, he saw the sound of continuous rifle fire suddenly heard in the ruins a few hundred meters away, and then saw the attacking Japanese soldiers fall in pieces.
Aizu Wakamatsu saw that there were still many people in the ruins who were still firing back, and immediately ordered another shelling, and after another shelling. Aizu Wakamatsu even sent out tanks this time.
In his opinion, an attacking team with tanks will soon be able to kill all the enemies hidden in the ruins.
But reality once again taught him that the enemy in front of him in the ruins was not the Northeast Army he had encountered before, and in fact, it was not an exaggeration to call the enemy in front of him the most powerful enemy in the world today.
I saw that the five tanks that had just approached the ruins were suddenly hit by unknown weapons, and then the entire tank exploded violently.
Then the sound of hundreds of machine guns suddenly sounded in the ruins, and the five tanks that rushed into the ruins first turned into a sea of fire in an instant, and at the same time, the hundreds of Japanese troops following behind the tanks also suffered a fatal blow.
Dozens of Japanese soldiers were smashed into a sieve by machine guns fired from all sides, and hundreds of soldiers were wounded and disabled.
These Japanese soldiers saw that the enemy's firepower was really strong, and it would only be suicidal to continue the attack. So he could only leave behind hundreds of corpses and hurriedly escaped.
Looking at the frightened imperial soldiers who were beaten in front of him, Aizu Wakamatsu really couldn't believe it, is this the Great Japanese Imperial Army that beat hundreds of thousands of Northeast Army? This is simply a group of defeated remnants of the defeated army who have lost their souls.
Aizu Wakamatsu didn't believe that he couldn't capture this small piece of ruins with his own 6,000 men. Aizu Wakamatsu immediately organized several reinforced squads and equipped them with the same machine-gun fire, mortars, grenadiers, and this time they were going to attack at close range. Fight the enemies hiding in the ruins.
However, these soldiers, equipped with powerful firepower, did not even reach a distance of several hundred meters this time, and dozens of people were knocked down by a dull burst of fire from the ruins.
It was only at this time that Aizu Wakamatsu and the others discovered that there were dozens of snipers with accurate marksmanship hidden in the ruins.
In the end, Aizu Wakamatsu commanded the artillery to fire hundreds of shells before the soldiers who had already rushed to the ruins were picked up.
Looking at the ruins in front of him again, Aizu Wakamatsu felt a chill, and he always felt as if the ruins in front of him had suddenly become his own grave.
Yang Xinjun, who had just repelled the third attack of the Japanese army, put away his sniper rifle and immediately withdrew into the anti-artillery hole, believing that soon they would be together again with the enemy for another shelling.
Yang Xinjun guessed correctly, after the first few tentative attacks, the Japanese army also roughly figured out the hiding place of Yang Xinjun and his people.
The Japanese army's counterattack ability was also very strong, and only a few minutes later, Yang Xinjun's anti-artillery hole was immediately shelled more violently.
Because the enemy's target was very accurate this time, the entrances of many anti-artillery holes were blown up, and several anti-artillery shells were hit by several shells in succession. In the end, the team had to move to other bomb holes.
And just after more artillery attacks, the Japanese army once again organized a wave of decisive attacks, and hundreds of daredevils with white strips of cloth on their heads followed closely behind ten tanks to start a new round of attacks.
