Chapter 395: The Battle of Guangdong[12]

Dear readers and friends, there have been some things in the prince's family recently, coupled with job changes, and the upgrade of the website, and I have unconsciously owed several chapters. The prince will definitely make up for the chapters owed in the near future, and I hope that everyone will continue to support the prince as always. Your support is what motivates Prince's writing. I'll make up a chapter today.

At 10 o'clock in the evening, the reconnaissance brigade's team to rescue the people was ready, and Tang Xiaoshan was to personally participate in and command the operation, and Cai Weihua, the commander of the second regiment, was responsible for the response and other matters in the back. General Yu Hanmou and Tang Renxin both came to see Tang Xiaoshan off in person, which made Tang Xiaoshan also feel the pressure on his body.

On the Japanese position, several searchlights were constantly sweeping back and forth, and after Tang Xiaoshan led the team out, he quietly approached the Japanese position. During the day, Tang Xiaoshan led several captains to reconnoiter all the roads into the Japanese position, and at the same time formulated several sets of plans. Less than 100 meters from the front of the Japanese position, the team dispersed, and several captains each led a group of fighters to carry out the agreed plan.

Tang Xiaoshan also personally led a group of soldiers to touch the Japanese position. They cautiously approached the Japanese position, which was very quiet, only the sentry and mobile posts were on guard, and the other Japanese troops were resting. Tang Xiaoshan made a gesture of action, and several team members quickly approached the Japanese sentry posts, and then silently killed these sentry posts.

After getting rid of the sentry post, Tang Xiaoshan led the soldiers into the position, and the Japanese army seized 2 or 300 people, divided into three places, and each place had a Japanese army squad responsible for guarding. For the safety of the people, in Tang Xiaoshan's plan, the defenders in the direction of the retreat of the Japanese army on the front-line positions of the Japanese army must also be solved. Therefore, after Tang Xiaoshan entered the position with his team, he did not rush to solve the Japanese army guarding the people, but set out to solve the Japanese army on the front-line position in this section.

Almost an hour passed, and the Japanese troops on the first line of the Japanese army were killed in silence, while several other detachments also solved the Japanese troops on the first line of the position. At this time, Tang Xiaoshan left some members in the front-line position to be responsible for answering, and then took the remaining dozen or so team members, and then went to the Japanese army who was guarding the people.

There were nearly 100 men, women, and children in the custody of the Japanese army, and most of them had fallen to the ground from exhaustion, and most of them had fallen asleep. And the Japanese soldiers who were guarding them only left a dozen people on guard, and the rest were staggering and sleeping. After the dozen or so team members led by Tang Xiaoshan touched it, they first dealt with the dozen or so Japanese soldiers who were on guard.

It is much easier to solve the Japanese soldiers who are on alert, and then to solve the Japanese soldiers who are asleep. In just a few minutes, a small group of Japanese soldiers who were guarding the civilians were all eliminated without any movement. But something went wrong in rescuing the people, and the people who were asleep were awakened by the action of the soldiers untying the ropes, and even though the soldiers repeatedly signaled the people to be quiet, the people still exclaimed.

In the quiet night, the exclamations were heard far away, which alarmed the Japanese troops behind the position. When the Japanese soldiers came to inspect it, they realized that something was wrong and immediately fired the guns in their hands. As soon as the gunshots rang out, the ground of the Japanese army was like a honeycomb being pierced, and countless Japanese soldiers rushed to this side. Tang Xiaoshan couldn't care about anything else at this time, and on the one hand, he arranged more than ten team members to block the incoming Japanese army, and on the other hand, let the other team members lead the people to retreat in the direction they came.

At this time, gunshots were also heard in the other two places, and Tang Xiaoshan knew that other detachments had also been discovered by the Japanese army, but he didn't know what the situation of the other detachments was. These people, old and young, will certainly not retreat as swiftly as the army. In order to ensure that these civilians had enough time to escape from the dangerous area, Tang Xiaoshan organized more than a dozen team members to fire all their firepower and block the Japanese attack to the death.

Fortunately, the team members who had been prepared for a long time were equipped with the best weapons, and among the more than ten people, there was not only a Type 5 or 6 light machine gun, but also the rest were equipped with submachine guns. More than a dozen automatic weapons spat out tongues of fire, which simply suppressed the Japanese troops who rushed up. Three minutes later, the people had already run dozens of meters, and it was difficult to see their backs in the dark, so Tang Xiaoshan ordered the team members to retreat while fighting.

The Japanese army already knew that the Chinese people had been rescued, and in order to grab this last straw, the Japanese army also attacked desperately. Light and heavy machine guns, grenadiers were used. In the short three minutes from the beginning of the blockade to Tang Xiaoshan's order to retreat, one of the more than ten team members was sacrificed, two were seriously injured, and three were slightly injured.

After Tang Xiaoshan ordered the retreat, several intact team members were about to set up the two seriously injured team members to leave, and the two seriously wounded pushed away the soldiers who came and shouted to Tang Xiaoshan: "Brigade seat, you go quickly, we can't leave with us, we will stay to cover you!" The Japanese army was approaching step by step, Tang Xiaoshan held back the discomfort in his heart, and shouted: "Okay! You stay cover, and the rest of the people will withdraw with me!"

The team members finally took a deep look at the two comrades-in-arms, turned around and followed Tang Xiaoshan to retreat, and the two seriously injured team members used all their strength to pull the trigger on the Japanese soldiers who rushed up. A series of bullets made the Japanese soldiers who rushed up fall one piece, but more Japanese soldiers continued to rush up, and finally the Japanese soldiers rushed in front of the two team members, and the two team members finally pulled the grenade on their upper bodies, and a series of explosions sounded in the Japanese soldiers who rushed up. Tang Xiaoshan and the rest of the team members, who had already rushed out 200 meters, heard the explosion, stopped, turned around, and gave a military salute to the place where the explosion occurred.

When Tang Xiaoshan and the others withdrew to the front-line position of the Japanese army and joined up with the comrades-in-arms who stayed here, Tang Xiaoshan learned that the rescued people had passed through here safely and retreated in the direction of his own troops.

On the position of the 90th Army, Tang Renxin, Yu Hanmou, and Tang Hongming, the commander of the 20th Division, were anxiously waiting for Tang Xiaoshan's news. When the gunfire rang out on the Japanese position, the hearts of several people couldn't help but sink. Cai Weihua, the commander of the reconnaissance brigade who remained on the position, ordered all the reconnaissance brigades to attack and meet Tang Xiaoshan and their troops after consulting Tang Renxin.

Soon after the reconnaissance brigade attacked, it encountered a group of rescued civilians, Cai Weihua hurriedly divided a part of his troops to escort the civilians to the rear, and led people to continue to advance to meet the brigade commander and the team he brought. Of the three detained civilians, two were rescued safely, and only one was killed by the Japanese army because it was prematurely seen by the Japanese army, although the team members desperately rescued each other, more than 20 civilians were still killed by the Japanese army, and the soldiers of this detachment also sacrificed more than a dozen team members in the fierce battle with the Japanese army.

As soon as the people were rescued and returned to their positions, Tang Renxin immediately ordered the whole army to attack. The officers and men, who had been waiting for a long time, attacked the Japanese positions from several upwards at the same time. The first was a round of artillery bombardment, and in the light of the explosion of shells, the fortifications, guns and soldiers on the Japanese positions were blown into the air. As soon as the artillery fire was extended, tanks and armored vehicles launched a surprise attack on the Japanese army under the cover of infantry.

The Japanese were just so dazed by the artillery fire that they could not organize effective resistance at all, and the tanks easily broke through the Japanese positions, and then advanced in depth. Along the way, as long as there were fire points that dared to resist, they were handled by tank guns, and as for the Japanese soldiers, they either died under the on-board machine guns of the tank, or died at the hands of the soldiers covering the tank.

The troops that attacked the Japanese position, opened the road by tanks, and the momentum along the way was like a bamboo, and after more than an hour, they attacked in front of the building of the Japanese headquarters. More than 1,000 officers and men of the 11th Division were tightly surrounded by the soldiers of the 90th Army in the three-story building and the courtyard behind the wall. Yu Hanmou and Tang Renxin also came to the front line, preparing to personally command the troops to attack the Japanese headquarters.

At this time, in front of the building of the Japanese headquarters, there were dozens of combat vehicles alone, and even several heavy tanks were transferred. All the muzzles were pointed at the building of the Japanese headquarters. Behind the battlecar were three brigades of officers and men, and then countless artillery pieces of various calibers were preparing to shell targets. Tang Renxin looked at his watch, the hour hand pointed to two o'clock in the morning, Tang Renxin gave an order, and the final general attack began.

First of all, the artillery covered the Japanese headquarters, and in the rumbling cannonball, the courtyard wall of the compound where the Japanese headquarters was located was destroyed for the first time, and then the fortifications and fire points in the courtyard ceased to exist under the explosion of countless shells. The tank guns also fired shells at the various windows of the building, and in a few moments, the entire headquarters building was surrounded by smoke and fire.

After Tang Renxin ordered the shelling to be stopped, it took a long time for the smoke of gunfire to gradually dissipate, revealing the battered building that had been bombed, and the courtyard was full of corpses of Japanese soldiers, and there were no living people. Tang Renxin then ordered machine gun cover, and the 278th Brigade attacked. Huanggang ordered the first battalion of the 571st Regiment to take the lead in attacking, and the second battalion as a reserve ready to reinforce at any time.

There were no less than 100 heavy machine guns on the position, and these heavy machine guns were more than enough to block all the windows and exits of the building. Under the blockade of heavy machine guns, the Japanese could not even come out, let alone block the attack. The officers and men of the 1st Battalion of the 571st Regiment rushed through the gates of the building without much resistance.

As soon as the soldiers of the 1st battalion stormed the building, the building erupted in a fierce gunfire, mixed with the explosion of grenades, and the light of the fire could be seen from the windows of the building. As time passed, the gunfire in the building shifted from the first floor to the second floor, and finally to the third floor. The intensity is also gradually decreasing.

An hour later, the gunfire stopped, and two soldiers ran out of the building and came to the brigade commander Huang Gang to report that the enemy troops on the third floor of the building had all been cleared, and only the last dozens of Japanese soldiers protected a few Japanese officers and retreated to the roof of the building, and a battalion commander had surrounded these Japanese soldiers with his soldiers, and one of the Japanese generals asked to see our supreme commander, and the battalion commander ordered us to come and ask the brigade seat what to do.
