More Japanese troops rushed in from different directions and fired at the area. Every squadron of the South Sea detachment was reinforced, in addition to machine guns and mortars, and soon the fire overshadowed the British defensive fire.

The British fired a Nosowa recoilless gun from the roof of the building, firing at the enemy's machine-gun positions not far away, knocking out two machine-gun crews in one fell swoop, but also exposing the powerful firepower of their own troops.

Bai Qi, who was fidgeting in the headquarters, heard the explosion not far away, he could hear that it was not an explosion, obviously there was a large enough force equipped with heavy firearms that had already been drilled under his nose. The self-deployment has been very thorough, how can such strange things happen repeatedly.

He immediately issued two orders, one of which was to send his most valuable military police squadron to support the Nanhai detachment, although the unit did not have heavy firepower, but there were many personnel, more than 250 people far exceeded the ordinary squadron, and it was also to prevent the Japanese army from committing too many crimes in the allies' countries, making it too ugly, so the military police and comfort women were in the scope of reinforcement, and now this unit is also going to be put into battle. Another order, to blow up all the river bridges leading to headquarters, would of course prevent him from mobilizing his forces, but it was clearly not the time to think about it. You have to quickly cut off the possibility of the enemy advancing quickly and surrounding yourself. It should be said that in the panic, these two orders of his were very targeted.

Lin Xiuxuan and Lu Qingshan had quietly arrived at the 200th Division troops, and the bridge that was about to pass, Lu Qingshan used silence * to kill the Japanese troops guarding the bridgehead, and Lin Xiuxuan also quickly dispatched *. was about to retreat, the phone rang in the sentry post, Lin Xiuxuan picked up the phone, it was the order to blow up the bridge issued by the Japanese superiors, he agreed in Japanese, and then evacuated quickly, their task is not over, on the passage that the commando is about to pass, there are still some scattered Japanese troops, just in case, it needs to be solved in advance, of course, it is not difficult to use night vision devices to eliminate these enemies.

Chu Tingchang waited for the news from the front at the headquarters and learned that the British plan to steal the fruits of victory had failed, and about 100 British troops were surrounded by 450 Japanese regiments and could not get out. Now there were very few troops left near the Doge's Palace, and there were no enemy troops on the route of the march.

He calculated that the time had come, jumped out of the mosquito net and walked quickly to the front, and ordered to send a telegram to Zhou Youfu, asking He Bisheng's troops to act quickly. Don't miss the moment. On the other side of the Volga River, the Soviets had ceased fire, and the Germans were limited to surrender before dawn. That is, he has 3 more hours to take the victory. The headquarters of the 15th Army in Burma should have seen that the defeat of the march into India has been decided, there will be no more reinforcements to Calcutta, and the second division has begun to retreat, proving that they still have the foresight to build a bridge over the Ganges, now it depends on whether Slim and Sun Liren can hold back this enemy, if the second division can be annihilated, of course, the glory of capturing Calcutta will be relatively overshadowed, but he does not think that Sun Liren and Slim have this ability. The equipment of the new 38th Division is also far inferior to its own.

Zhou Youfu knew in advance that the British army would have a sneak attack, but he didn't know how to get in, he heard the gunfire in the southwest, and just by listening to the number of machine guns, he could judge that at least 2 squadrons of Japanese troops were attacking. It seems that Chu Shizuo is clever and has indeed calculated this section. Soon the order came, and without delay, he put the entire temporarily formed infantry battalion into battle at once.

This was the most powerful mobile force that Chu Tingchang could concentrate, because the Japanese had created roadblocks through blasting on all the streets, and only tanks and half-tracks could pass through before breaking the barriers, and if it weren't for this restriction, he would have gathered more troops. However, it was expected that there were no more troops near the enemy's headquarters, so these forces were sufficient. If it was daylight, he would not have dared to let the troops approach quickly through the streets, but now all the conditions have been met.

Zhou Youfu ordered the feints to intensify their artillery fire, and constantly dispatched tanks to feint, using loud explosions and engine sounds to cover the real direction of the attack. The battle continuously broke through the enemy's defenses, and the frontal enemy could not be defended, and if it wasn't for Chu Tingchang's hurry, such an attack could also be pushed to the vicinity of the governor's palace in a day or two.

He Bisheng sat on the first chariot and galloped through the streets in the rear with his troops, secretly going to the breakthrough. When they reached the assault position, they ordered all vehicles to turn off their lights and wait for the flares in front of them to fall.

When the time came, several flares fell from the sky, and he followed them first, just in time, just in time to hide in the shrinking edge of the light where the flares fell. There were constant explosions nearby, stray bullets flying over his head from time to time, but none of them were fired at him, and it was clear that the enemy did not pay attention here. His tank suddenly drove a bunch of obstacles, the driver lowered the gear, and the 30-ton giant rumbled up, which was the most vulnerable moment of the tank, unable to fire, and especially easy to hit.

He stuck his head out and looked closely at every nook and cranny that he expected enemy anti-aircraft artillery to probably shoot at the frontal armor, but nothing happened. He easily rushed through the obstacles set by the enemy. The tank continued to advance and rushed out of the street. But the flank enemy fire, which he feared the most, still did not appear. He could even see Japanese troops running around across the street on the right, but they were all hiding from the shelling, and no one noticed it.

The huge team drove straight ahead, passed under the noses of the Japanese troops who were struggling to resist a few hundred meters away, and completely penetrated into the enemy's hinterland.

Of course, He Bisheng and all the officers and soldiers felt that they were protected by some kind of hidden power, which made such a huge army move through the broken city as if it were invisible. Passing through several intersections without danger, he got into the tank, took out the map and took a look at it with a flashlight. As shown on the map, stop ahead and wait for instructions on where to go. Originally, there was a passage drawn on a red line, but before leaving, Chu Shizuo sent a telegram asking to modify the route, but at that time there was no permission to go, as long as he stopped here and waited. How absurd it would be to stop on a street with buildings on both sides, and if someone threw a few* down, the whole team would be in chaos. But he had no choice but to idle. Cars from behind arrived, filling the streets.

Why bother to use the radio to listen to nearby communications, some are British, some are Japanese, and more are the calls of the troops of the 200th Division, which shows that the city and the outside of the city have become a pot of porridge, and here, so many vehicles here are actually divided into three rows, crowded in a narrow alley and at a loss.

He prayed that the mantra of the Throne would always work, and that the enemy would not see him at all. Just as he was thinking about it, suddenly a flashlight shot at the street entrance in front, and a group of Japanese soldiers rode bicycles and quickly passed in front. It looks like they really can't see themselves.

Hou Zhou Youfu called his vehicle and told him to turn left and look for a bridge along the river. According to the map, the bridge leading to the Doge's Palace is clearly ahead, but it is not allowed to go. His tank turned left and halfway through the road he saw an explosion in the distance, and it was the bridge that he had thought of leading directly to the Doge's Palace that had been blown up. If you go straight to the road as you think, you will obviously hit the enemy and blow up the bridge, and you will be blocked by the river and exposed. It can be seen that he is far from reaching the height of the master's seat, and he can't understand his old man's thoughts.

He quickly made his way down the river, where the map indicated that there was also a bridge where tanks could pass. The tracer bullets flying everywhere exposed almost the entire convoy, but it was like an empty city, driving all the way through the empty streets, and there were no enemies, only occasionally seeing enemies who fell on the side of the street.

When he arrived at the stone bridge, he did not dare to cross the bridge directly, and ordered the tanks to carry the infantry down and quickly occupy the bridgehead. The infantry rushed up and found that there were several Japanese corpses poured on the bridge, and * was thrown next to them, the blood of the Japanese corpses had not yet coagulated, so it can be seen that they had not been dead for a long time, and they didn't know what was going on, they all died early?

He ordered to immediately turn around and cross the bridge towards the governor's palace. In normal times, even if you act during the day, all kinds of troubles emerge one after another, but today there is a ghost, and the operation at night is surprisingly smooth.

In the blink of an eye they rushed to the square in front of the Doge's Palace, where there was no obstacle except for a few craters blown up by British planes in the square. The Japanese, fearing air raids, did not even dare to use searchlights, and saw the tanks coming. Only then did a senior soldier hear the noise, stepped forward and shot a flashlight. Then, the senior soldier saw the round Sherman tank in front of him. A man and a car confronted each other for a few seconds, and were immediately swept down by the heading machine gun.

Several tanks in front turned on their headlights together and fired at the machine guns in the fortifications in front of the Governor's Palace with course and side-by-side machine guns. These guys react very quickly to sudden battles, some dodge, some fight back, but the strength is really not equal. They only have sandbags for cover, and the opponent can't penetrate them at all.

The anti-aircraft guns hiding in the gate of the Governor's Palace suddenly fired, but even at a distance of 70 meters, the Japanese 37-mm anti-aircraft guns could not penetrate the front of some tanks. After a fierce battle in front, the rear half-track vehicles arrived one after another, and the infantry quickly got out of the car and joined the battle. Two more platoons of tanks, operating along the shade of the Ring Doge's Palace, formed an encirclement of the enemy.

Bai Qi looked down from his favorite balcony and found that he was surrounded by heavy enemy troops, after he saw at least seven or eight tanks below, he knew that he had absolutely no possibility of turning defeat into victory, but it was the duty of the imperial soldiers to resist to the end, he ordered the squadron directly under the division to quickly shoot outside from the window, and the staff personnel hurried to burn all the documents and maps.

He Bisheng's tanks quickly knocked out the two guns that were deployed here. A tank rushed up to it and fired several shots at the gate before exiting. During this time, the infantry surrounded the building, looking for a way to attack.
