Defend who is Anseong

............A sharp whistling sound reached everyone's ears, followed by a deafening explosion.

Under the continuous shelling of various mountain artillery of the Japanese army, the reinforced concrete pillbox that has been standing still and looks very strong is like paper paste in front of this heavy bomb.

In just an instant, the huge bunker was blasted out of a large hole with a diameter of more than one meter. Several fighters, including those guarding the gap, were also torn to shreds, and their bones were gone............

The explosion had just stopped, and the deafening roar was still "buzzing, rattling" in everyone's ears. Li Yuqing, the squad leader who reacted from the shock, could no longer see the confident look on his face a day ago, but his face was pale. Looking at the hollow gap, he quickly ran to the platoon commander Yan Yufa's side, and exclaimed in a lost voice.

"Platoon commander, something happened, our bunker was blown open...... The enemy bombardment was simply too fierce. At the most one aerial bomb explodes around us, and the bunkers we hold on to will be reduced to ruins............"

"The little devil of the dog day, isn't he just relying on his own plane, and he has the ability to fight hard against us on the ground... Squad Leader Li, don't worry, this bunker can still hold on for a while, and the little devil can't help us for the time being. What about the casualties of the troops, our platoon, how many people can continue to fight...",. Quickly spit out the dust in his mouth, platoon commander Yan Yufa asked.

"The four fighters guarding the gap were all killed in the explosion just now. Combined with the combat losses in the past two days, all the combat soldiers of the platoon were added up, and there were only 8 people left, two light machine guns and one heavy machine gun. However, after the continuous attacks of the Japanese army and the large consumption of ammunition, the remaining ammunition in our hands can only last for a maximum of two hours........." Obviously, Yan Yufa's platoon commander's answer did not make Li Yuqing, the squad leader in front of him who had just been transformed from a captive soldier, feel any reassurance, and still replied with a worried face.

"Two hours...... How did you use it so quickly. No, we must not retreat without an order from above. Otherwise, all the outlying positions outside the city will all fall into the hands of the enemy......" After a short period of contemplation, he met the expectant gaze of everyone 1 Yan Yufa said helplessly.

"But, platoon commander, are we here to die for nothing......" For a while, the faces of more than a dozen soldiers in the bunker were immediately covered with a look of despair. Then, Li Yuqing, who took the lead of all the captive soldiers, asked the platoon commander in front of him with the last glimmer of hope for everyone.

"Comrades, rest assured, I am sure that the superiors will not forget our platoon. If it is less than two hours, we have not received orders from our superiors. When the time comes, when the ammunition is depleted, I will allow everyone to break out of the siege on their own and withdraw to the city. Therefore, I hope you can make persistent efforts and stick to it here for the last two hours with me......" Seeing the desperate looks on everyone's faces, platoon commander Yan Yufa decisively ordered, giving the remaining dozen people a reassuring pill.

Sure enough, everyone relaxed a little. A figure appeared at the gate of the bunker. Before everyone could react 1 panting battalion headquarters communications staff officer, he reported loudly.

"Platoon Commander Yan, the defensive positions outside the city have been completely broken through by the Japanese army, and it makes no sense to hold on any longer. The battalion commander ordered all the commanders and fighters in a platoon to immediately blow up all the heavy weapons in their hands and withdraw into the city. At that time, the two, three, and two platoons will provide you with the necessary fire cover........."

"Brothers, I will say that our superiors will not forget us. Squad Leader Li, immediately use a grenade to arrange our remaining heavy machine gun into a treacherous mine. In addition, all the remaining ammunition in our hands will be left behind, and it will be arranged as a trick mine, so as to leave a good gift for the little devils. You must know that whoever lacks everything in Ancheng now, that is, there is no shortage of weapons and ammunition"...... Yan Yufa, the platoon commander, ordered with a serious face.

"Yes, platoon commander... Brothers, gather all the grenades at once, prepare a great gift for the little devils, and surprise them......" When the order to retreat was given, the look of despair on everyone's faces disappeared at once, and was replaced by a look of excitement.

Under the command of squad leader Li Yuqing, more than a dozen people immediately found all the grenades in Bunker Ran and began to get busy. ,

Outside the city, because of the arrival of Japanese air reinforcements, the Japanese puppet army spent a lot of financial and material resources and carefully built defensive positions, which have been completely destroyed and turned into ruins. With the last few pillboxes, it was voluntarily abandoned by the defending troops. Tens of thousands of puppet troops, after paying a very heavy price, finally advanced their offensive front to the corner of the city wall of He'an.

In order to provide enough depth and room for maneuver in the possible street fights that followed. A large number of civilians living on the edge of the city walls had to move to the city with the help of troops.

At the same time, a large number of wounded, who were constantly sent down from the city walls, mixed with the common people, rushed to the field hospital located in the center of the city. The huge Ancheng, because the soldiers of the Japanese puppet army came to the city, was completely shrouded in a gloomy atmosphere, and it seemed chaotic.

In the midst of the chaotic crowd, more than a dozen soldiers who successfully retreated into the city, and looked tired, under the leadership of the platoon commander Yan Yufa, finally found the regimental headquarters less than 500 meters away from the north gate.

"Report to the regiment commander, Yan Yufa, the platoon commander of the first battalion, one company, and one platoon, led the commanders and fighters of the whole platoon, and was ordered to come to report and ask the regiment commander to instruct ......" The regiment command post saw that the regiment commander with his battalion commander was actually guarding the door, waiting for his arrival. Yan Yufa's face was immediately enveloped by an excited look. With a dozen tired soldiers behind him, he walked quickly to the regiment commander and reported excitedly.

"Okay, good, platoon commander Yan, it is worthy of the main platoon of my battalion, with only the strength of one) platoon, blocking the continuous attacks of the Japanese puppet army. What's more, in the two days of fighting, the total strength of the Japanese puppet army that fell under your guns reached an astonishing more than 800 people...... Platoon Commander Yan, I can say with certainty that whoever is guarding the middle of the city battle this time, your platoon must be the main platoon with the largest number of enemies in our corps. Now, even the commander knows about your deeds, and I want to get to know you well and see the heroes of our corps......" Looking at the tired dozen soldiers in front of him, the regiment commander said with a look of relief.

"Battalion commander, you see that the platoon commander Yan and the soldiers behind him are already tired. Look, don't you let them go back to the station and have a good rest......" the battalion commander said with a concerned expression.

"Yes, yes, after two whole days, you must have a good rest...... Platoon Commander Yan, I will give you a day and a night to rest, and at the same time, I will ask the logistics department to replenish you with sufficient weapons and ammunition and a squad of recruits. A day from now, there are new tasks waiting for you. How about it, do you have any confidence......" the regiment commander began.

"Please, the regiment commander rest assured, I guarantee that the task will be completed ........."

A day later, in order to avoid heavy artillery and air strikes by the Japanese puppet army, too many casualties were inflicted on the troops and the firepower advantage of the Japanese puppet army was weakened. The headquarters of the Seventh Corps had to decide to fight an unprecedented street battle with the Japanese puppet army with the strong street fortifications in the city. The steady stream of Japanese puppet reinforcements outside the city was all dragged to Who'an, waiting for the main force of the field army to complete the encirclement of the main force of the Japanese puppet army in the entire northern Jiangsu region.

In the city, after a day's rest, the troops once again reached the full state of Yan Yufa's platoon. With a severe shortage of troops defending the city, they had to be drawn into fierce street battles again.

In an alley less than two hundred meters away from the main street of He'an City, Yan Yufa and more than 30 soldiers who had regained their energy behind him were quietly hiding in a courtyard, waiting for the Japanese puppet army to take the bait.

With the main street two hundred meters away, the dense sound of gunfire continued to reach everyone's ears. In the small courtyard, everyone's faces showed anxious expressions because there was no fight to fight. And at this moment, the slightly excited voice of the lookout whistle reached everyone's ears.

"Platoon commander, the little devil is here, a total of one squad ......... troops"

"Great...... Brethren, the little devil finally took the bait, and according to the original battle plan, light machine guns were used intensively, and all riflemen, grenades were ready. After the little devil entered the ambush circle, listen to my order and throw it out immediately......"

Time passed minute by minute in everyone's anxious waiting. Under Yan Yufa's order, more than thirty grenades emitting white smoke quickly crossed the thick wall and landed beside dozens of unprepared little devils......

In the narrow alley, more than 30 grenades exploded together, and its power was far beyond everyone's imagination. With just one round of grenade explosions, a squad, two-thirds of the soldiers, collapsed in pools of blood and turned into corpses. And just when the remaining dozen or so devil soldiers raised their rifles in their hands in a panic, ready to return fire. The tongues of fire spewed out by the three crooked handles, like raindrops, quickly swept them into a sieve............

A small team, more than 50 devil soldiers, in the premeditated ambush of Yan Yufa's platoon, only lasted less than two minutes, and the whole army was wiped out and turned into wandering ghosts.

"Brothers, the little devil reinforcements are coming, quickly, retreat immediately, and transfer the battlefield ............" The smoke cleared, and I saw the corpses and stumps and broken arms everywhere in front of me, and at the mouth of the alley, there were already Japanese puppet reinforcements. Yan Yu and Fa, who knew the essence of street fighting, did not hesitate and immediately issued an order to transfer the battlefield.

A platoon, just like that, without any losses, completely annihilated the strength of a squad of Japanese troops. And such battles, in the direction of the four gates of Heanseong, are taking place almost all the time. The huge city of Ancheng is like a bottomless pit, constantly devouring the lives of a large number of Japanese puppet soldiers.........
