Chapter 105: Street Fighting in Golden State

The two wings of the Japanese army defending the third line outside Jinzhou City, because of the assault ability of the tanks and armored vehicles of the Second Division of the Dingbei Army, knew that the third line of positions could not stop the tanks of the Dingbei Army, and quickly withdrew to the city of Jinzhou under the order of Dashan Yan, the commander of the Southern Route Army. The Japanese defenders in other directions of Jinzhou City also retreated into Jinzhou City, preparing to engage in street battles with the Dingbei Army in Jinzhou City.

The second division of the Dingbei Army effortlessly captured the third line of positions abandoned by the Japanese army, so far it took only half an hour for the Dingbei Army to quickly sweep away the Japanese troops outside Jinzhou City with the help of cross-era tanks and armored vehicles.

Lin Daxin stood at the forward command center, saw that the Second Division had occupied the three Japanese positions in a short period of time, put down the high-powered telescope and said to Zhao Hu, the commander of the Second Division, with a smile: "Not bad! Zhao Hu, you have lived up to my expectations! Tanks and armored vehicles work very well! Broke through the three positions of the Japanese army so quickly! ”

Zhao Hu said modestly: "Thanks to the tanks and armored vehicles that the principal got are amazing!" Our second division was able to break through the Japanese positions so quickly and continuously! But it's a pity that several armored vehicles were destroyed by Japanese artillery fire! ”

Lin Daxin turned his head to the four division commanders of the third, sixth, seventh and eighth divisions and said, "Now the second division has swept away the positions of the Japanese army outside Jinzhou City!" The battle to attack Jinzhou City below may be very difficult, looking at the posture of the Japanese army, 100% of them will fight for an inch of land with us in Jinzhou City, there is no way to avoid street fighting, you division commanders must be mentally prepared! ”

The 4 division commanders nodded to indicate that they knew that the Japanese army had even given up the third line of positions and retreated into the city, obviously going to fight street battles with the Dingbei Army!

Lin Daxin looked in the direction of Jinzhou City, and then ordered: "Let the artillery bombard the Jinzhou City Gate!" Blast the gates open for me! After the artillery fire blew open the gate of Jinzhou City, the troops launched an attack on the city of Jinzhou! Now we are sure that the Northern Army will not be able to defeat the Northern Route Army that caused the Shengjing Massacre, so let's first use the Japanese Army's Southern Route Army to pay tribute to the dead souls of Shengjing City! ”

Immediately, the artillery units of the Dingbei Army began to shell the south gate of Jinzhou City, and 50 tanks of the Second Division on the third line of Japanese positions also bombarded the position of the city gate with 115 mm tank guns.

The 3rd, 6th, 7th, and 8th Divisions also began to move in the direction of Jinzhou City and entered the attack position.

"Boom-boom-boom-" After a burst of artillery fire, not only the city gate of the south gate has been blown open, but a section of the city wall of about 50 meters has also been blown down by artillery fire!

With a loud trumpet of charge, the soldiers of the Dingbei Army followed behind the tanks and armored vehicles, shouting the slogan of killing the Japanese devils to avenge the people of Shengjing City, and rushed into the city of Jinzhou.

Li Qingyao of the third division and his 3 companies also rushed into Jinzhou City with the large army, but there were several divisions of the Dingbei Army that rushed into Jinzhou City, and Li Qingyao's company soon lost contact with the regimental headquarters and battalion headquarters, and the guard Liu Xiaotian looked at the Dingbei Army that was fighting with the Japanese army everywhere on the street, and anxiously asked Li Qingyao: "Company commander, it's all disrupted!" What are we going to do? ”

Li Qingyao scratched his head and observed the situation nearby, everywhere his eyes could see the battlefield, Li Qingyao pondered that no matter what, it was important to fight the Japanese devils first, and contact the regiment headquarters and battalion headquarters while fighting! So Li Qingyao waved his hand: "No matter!" We beat our own! ”

At this time, Li Qingyao saw Japanese soldiers lying on the courtyard walls in several courtyards facing the street, shooting at the Dingbei Army outside, and immediately shouted: "3 Company!" Attack a few yards in front! ”

After speaking, the soldiers of the 3rd company rushed to several courtyards where the Japanese army was entrenched......

In Lin Daxin's command headquarters outside Jinzhou, several other division commanders had already gone to the front to command the troops, only Zhao Hu, the commander of the second division, was still in the command headquarters, he frowned at Lin Daxin at the moment and said, "Principal! There is news from Jinzhou City, the Japanese army is really in Jinzhou City, and we Dingbei Army are fighting for almost every inch of land! Some yards have to be fought over several times! Even if our Dingbei Army has tanks and armored vehicles to join the street fighting, there are still many casualties! After several of our divisions entered Jinzhou City, because the battlefield was too chaotic, many troops had already been disrupted! Now the city of Golden State is a pot of porridge! ”

Lin Daxin thought about it for a while and said: "Don't be afraid of casualties if you fight this kind of battle!" Sue sΓΉ divisions, continue to intensify the attack! As for disrupting, don't be afraid! If we are in chaos, the Japanese army will be even more chaotic! Chaotic and chaotic fighting, tell all divisions to inform the troops in Jinzhou City, don't be afraid of the formation chaos, all the troops of the Dingbei Army, attack where there are Japanese troops! Attack where there are gunshots! Attack the center of the city! ”

Zhao Hu, the commander of the Second Division, saluted with a military salute: "Yes!" Headmaster! Attack where there are Japanese troops! Attack where there are gunshots! Attack the center of the city! ”

Li Qingyao, who was leading his 3rd company to attack a Japanese position, suddenly saw a soldier of the Dingbei Army, dodging the bullets of the Japanese army and running over!

The soldier of the Dingbei Army asked, "What division are you?" ”

Li Qingyao said: "We are from the third division!" ”

The soldier of the Dingbei Army asked, "I'm from the second division!" Is your system messed up? ”

Li Qingyao sighed and said, "Isn't it! It's all messed up! We have lost contact with the regimental headquarters! ”

The soldier of the Second Division of the Dingbei Army nodded and said, "Our Marshal Lin has sent an order outside the city!" Order the Dingbei Army, which has lost its formation, not to be afraid of chaos and attack where there are Japanese troops! Attack where there are gunshots! Attack the center of the city! ”

Li Qingyao nodded when he heard it and said, "Lin Dashuai's order!" Yes! I'll fight according to Lin Dashuai's orders! ”

The soldier of the Second Division of the Dingbei Army then said: "Then I'll go and inform the other brothers!" With that, he bent his waist and ran away from the side of the street!

Li Qingyao turned around and shouted to the soldiers of the 3rd Company: "Marshal Lin said, attack where there are Japanese troops!" Attack where there are gunshots! Attack the center of the city! Let's not be afraid that we can't find the regiment headquarters! Just do what Lin Dashuai said! Brothers, first take down the Japanese position in front of me! ”

After speaking, Li Qingyao led the soldiers of the 3rd Company to continue to attack this small Japanese position, and finally the soldiers of the 3rd Company approached the Japanese position, and with a grenade, this small position was captured. Li Qingyao and the soldiers of the 3rd Company continued to attack other Japanese troops.

In a street west of Jinzhou City, the Japanese army built a large number of street forts on this street, which brought great casualties to the Dingbei army attacking here!

Duan Qirui, the commander of the 63rd Brigade, came to this street with the guard company of the brigade headquarters, and the commander of the 631st Regiment saw Duan Qirui coming, and immediately walked to Duan Qirui's side and said, "Brigade commander! Why did you get into town too? Now the city is in chaos! It's too dangerous! ”

Duan Qirui waved his hand and said, "Don't say it's useless!" What's going on here? ”

The commander of the 631st regiment said with a bitter face: "Brigade commander, the Japanese army used the brick houses on both sides of the street to build a large number of fortresses here, and street forts were also built on the street. ”

Duan Qirui took the telescope and observed the fortress built by the Japanese army on the street for a while, and then put down the telescope with a frown, all the houses on this street are brick houses, almost every house has been built into a fortress by the Japanese army, plus the street forts on the street, which makes the Japanese army form crossfire, which brings great trouble to the attacking troops!

Duan Qirui said to a company commander of the brigade headquarters guard company beside him: "Go find tanks or armored vehicles from the second division to support here!" ”

The company commander of the guard company immediately rushed to the back with several guards company soldiers, looking for tanks and armored vehicles of the second division!

After a while, 2 tanks and 2 armored vehicles roared to the street, and the lid on one tank was opened, and a soldier of the 2nd Division exposed half of his body, controlling the machine gun on the tank. The soldier shouted at Duan Qirui: "Hello brigade commander! We're here on order! ”

Duan Qirui pointed to the entrance of the street with his hand and shouted loudly: "The Japanese army has built a large number of fortresses on this street!" We've attacked a few times, and the casualties are too great, and now it's up to you! ”

The machine gunner on top of the tank shouted: "Brigade commander! And lo and behold! ”

The Heavy makes a forward gesture to the other 1 tank and 2 armored vehicles, and then shouts forward into his own tank. Two tanks took the lead, and two armored vehicles followed, rushing to the Japanese bunker on the street.

Duan Qirui ordered to the commander of the 631st Regiment: "Let the soldiers of your regiment follow behind the tanks and armored vehicles and take down this street for me!" ”

Under the fire of tanks and armored vehicles, the Japanese troops guarding the street soon suffered heavy casualties, and dozens of Japanese soldiers in a brick house were shooting at the Dingbei Army from the firing port on the brick wall, when a tank shell blew up the brick house, and dozens of Japanese soldiers were either killed or buried under the collapsed bricks.

Many Japanese soldiers in brick houses were eliminated by the Dingbei Army's tank guns, one artillery and one artillery at a fixed point. In less than half an hour, this street had already been captured by the Dingbei Army.

In a compound behind this street was the division headquarters of the Japanese Third Division, and the commander of the Third Division, Katsura Taro, shouted angrily at the two brigade commanders and five wing commanders of the command: "You must hold on!" Matsumoto-kun, you lead your wing to immediately launch a counterattack on the half of the street occupied by the Dingbei Army! Organize death squads to blow up the steel chariots of the Dingbei Army, and the lost positions must be recaptured! ”

The co-captain named Matsumoto shouted, "Hey! Then he hurried out of the headquarters.

Soon after, under the leadership of this Matsumoto captain, nearly 3,000 Japanese troops launched a counterattack.

The Japanese attack was very ferocious, and even some soldiers of the Japanese death squad pounced on the tanks and armored vehicles with explosives packs, and wanted to die together with the tanks and armored vehicles. Three or four Japanese soldiers from the death squad threw themselves on the tank with the ignited explosive packets, but unfortunately the explosion of the explosives only smashed the Japanese soldiers of the death squad, and the two tanks were not damaged.

However, an armored car was unfortunately blown up by a Japanese soldier holding an explosive bag! Although the Japanese army's explosives package could not do anything against the thick-skinned tanks, after such a long battle, the 2 tanks were almost out of ammunition! In the face of the frenzied Japanese army, the remaining 2 tanks and 1 armored vehicle had to retreat to the street entrance.

After retreating to the street crossing, 2 tanks and 1 armored vehicle continued to retreat back to replenish ammunition outside the city of Golden State.

The 631st Regiment, which had already captured half a street, lost the support of tanks and armored vehicles, and under the frantic attack of the Japanese army, it soon lost the place it had just captured, and almost returned to the state before the attack of tanks and armored vehicles!

Duan Qirui said to the commander of the 631 regiment who was already injured: "How is the injury?" Can you hold on? ”

The commander of the 631st regiment moved his injured arm slightly, "It's not a big deal!" Just let the bullet bite off a piece of meat! Brigade! The Japanese attacked too fiercely, and the brothers did not resist it, occupying half of the street and losing it! ”

Duan Qirui didn't care and said: "Lin Dashuai has already said that the Japanese army will definitely be trapped in the battle of Jinzhou City this time!" The location of this street is important, and if we take it lightly, I still feel strange! Wait a while for tanks and armored vehicles to return after replenishing ammunition, and we will reorganize the attack! ”
