Chapter 117: Fierce Battle in the Park

readx;? At the same time as the attack on the main entrance of Hongkou Park began, there were also fierce gunfire and mortar explosions from the side gates. Pen Fun Pavilion wWw. biquge。 The Japanese army at the side gate was not as tightly defended as at the main gate, with only a trench and a few sandbag forts, so after a few rounds of shelling, Chen Xiubing also ordered the chariot to assault. Almost at the same time as the Japanese position was taken on the side of the main gate, the side gate also took the Japanese position.

After Wei Erxi and Du Haifeng came to the Japanese position, they ordered the artillery company and reserve team behind them to go forward to the gate of Hongkou Park to establish a position through walkie-talkie. At the gate, a company of the first battalion of Du Haifeng's second regiment was left to defend, and the rest of the soldiers took the chariot as the lead and rushed to the second road in Hongkou Park. Having received the order, armored vehicles and tanks, under the coordinated cover of the fighters behind them, rushed towards the park.

Along the way, the two teams were like bamboos, and once they encountered the Japanese firepower point, they were either destroyed with chariot guns or wiped out with 82 recoilless guns. Although some bunkers and hidden firing points caused some casualties to the troops, once these firing points were discovered or exposed, they were treated with artillery shells and light and heavy machine gun bullets.

It's like a 14.5 caliber high-level two-purpose machine gun mounted on a truck, a single bullet can break people in two, and the places it strafed are all in a mess, brick walls, wooden walls, and other things It completely ignores, and the devil soldier is a dead corpse when hit by it. Its power not only frightened the devils, but also surprised its own warriors. Du Haifeng and his soldiers were even more envious, and their expressions of jealousy were completely displayed on their faces.

In Wei Erxi's opinion, these are all normal, because the brigade repeatedly emphasized the principle of firepower first during training. Weapons and ammunition can be bought with money, but the lives of soldiers cannot be bought with money. When you can destroy the enemy with firepower, you can't risk the life of a warrior. Such a precept has been engraved in the minds of these officers of the Independent Brigade.

With the continuous advance of the Second Route Army, the Japanese troops in Hongkou Park have been basically cleared, and all the firing points have been removed. At the back entrance of Hongkou Park, two assault forces converged. Opposite them was the last line of defense of the Japanese army at the back gate of Hongkou Park. There were about 200 Japanese soldiers and 200 so-called self-defense troops. Unlike the gate positions, there were also four 70-mm infantry guns.

At a distance of 800 meters from the enemy's position, Wei Erxi's troops stopped, and the soldiers either hid behind the rocks or dug out individual bunkers to conceal. Wei Erxi, who was looking at the enemy position in front of him with a telescope, frowned. The opposing 70mm infantry guns and mortars pose a threat to the tank, and if it is an armored vehicle, a single 70mm infantry gun shell can completely destroy it.

Therefore, if you want to attack with combat vehicles, then you must take out these four 70mm infantry guns and mortars first. At this time, the battle of the supplementary brigade to recapture the Bazi Bridge was also raging, and the sound of guns and artillery became one, and the Japanese gunboats stopped on the river two kilometers away from here, and kept shelling the attacking Chinese troops with large-caliber naval guns. The entire Hongkou District was full of fire, gunfire, and armies fighting together.

Wei Erxi couldn't care about anything else, and focused all his attention on the Japanese army in front. Wei Erxi ordered four trucks carrying the two high-level dual-purpose trucks to line up, and the four machine guns lowered their muzzles and opened fire on the Japanese artillery positions. As the fighters pressed the trigger of the heavy machine gun, four fire dragons pounced on the artillery positions of the Japanese troops opposite. Suddenly, the Japanese artillery positions were full of flesh and blood, and there was nothing to stop the invasion of the metal storm.

The Japanese troops in the trenches and bunkers and the commander looked at the messy artillery positions that were instantly beaten, and did not react for a long time. When the muzzle of the guns turned to the firing points in the bunkers and sandbag forts after the second-use machine guns had destroyed the artillery positions, the Japanese commander came to his senses and asked for the support of the naval guns while directing the heavy machine guns and grenadiers on the positions to return fire.

Wei Erxi saw that he had destroyed the enemy's artillery position, so he asked the Gaoping dual-purpose machine gun to stop firing and disperse and hide. The chariot is ready to strike. At this moment, there was a unique whistling sound of heavy artillery shells in the air, Wei Erxi's heart was shocked, and he hurriedly asked the soldiers to climb down and hide. In an instant, several large-caliber shells exploded on their positions, and large-caliber shells were different from mortar shells, and after the explosion, there was a large crater on the ground, and the fighters within a dozen meters around were either killed or wounded.

Wei Erxi saw that it was wrong, and hurriedly asked all the people to retreat and withdraw from this area first. Fortunately, Wei Erxi withdrew quickly, and soon after, more than 100 large-caliber shells fell in this area. Even then, the separate battalion killed and wounded dozens of fighters, destroyed two heavy machine guns and an armored vehicle. And Du Haifeng's second regiment also suffered more than 100 casualties.

Such a big loss made Wei Erxi sad at the same time, but also deeply enraged. After the enemy's naval guns began to move to other targets, Wei Erxi asked the snipers and sharpshooters of the whole battalion to sneak into the area within 400 meters of the Japanese position, choose targets freely, and shoot freely after the shelling began. The artillery company was transferred over through walkie-talkies, and all the fifty mortars in the battalion were concentrated, preparing to cover the Japanese with complete artillery fire.

And several bunkers could not reach so far because of the 82 recoilless guns, so they were handed over to the tank guns on the tank cars to urge destruction. After everything was arranged, Wei Erxi gave an order, fifty mortars opened fire at the same time, and fifty mortar shells covered the Japanese position with indiscriminate artillery fire. The three rounds of shelling completely blinded the Japanese troops, and with the free fire of snipers and sharpshooters, the Japanese troops on the Japanese positions completely became ants on a hot pot for a while.

Seeing that the Japanese army was in chaos, Wei Erxi ordered a chariot assault. Two tanks and an armored car took the lead in rushing towards the Japanese position. One by one, the 82-mm tank guns on the tanks named several bunkers, which were powerless to resist in front of the tank guns and were all destroyed. Several light and heavy machine guns on the chariot also roared at the Japanese soldiers.

The Japanese troops, who gradually organized a counterattack, also risked their lives to exchange fire with the onrushing Chinese troops with light and heavy machine guns, grenadiers and even Type 38 rifles. It's just that the light and heavy machine gunners are often killed by the snipers and sharpshooters of the separate battalion before they have fired a few bullets. When the tank rushed to a few dozen meters away from the Japanese position, the remnants of the Japanese army in the Japanese position threw out a lot of grenades.

The fighters of the separate battalion, who had already had an experience, this time the distance between them and the tank was widened a little, so the grenades thrown by the Japanese did not hurt the fighters. When the Japanese grenade exploded, the fighters of the independent battalion ran for several miles and threw grenades into the Japanese trench in retaliation. One or two hundred grenades exploded in the trench, enough to leave a few devils alive in the trench.

Next, the fighters of the independent battalion jumped out of the trench to clear the remaining devils. When Chen Xiubing, the commander of the third company who led the charge, delivered the katana of the leader of the devil squadron to Wei Erxi, Hongkou Park had been completely occupied by our army.
