439, the commanding heights

While the shelling continued, Zhang Chu looked around.

He needs to find a commanding height. In order to balance the entire Taiyuan City.

In battle, the high ground is very important.

Only by controlling the commanding heights can we control the entire battlefield.

However, looking around, I couldn't see where the highest was.

It may be limited by the environment.

"Jiang Yongwei!"

"Here!"

"Do you know where the highest place in Taiyuan City is?"

"I don't know."

Jiang Yongwei shook his head.

He had never been in Taiyuan City. This is the first time to come. I was still caught.

For the surrounding area, it is completely blind.

"What about you?"

Zhang Chu turned his head again and asked the ninth master.

Those bandits were blocked by the Japanese invaders, and they couldn't leave for the time being. I had to lean against the side of the Eighth Road.

If you want to survive, you can only huddle together to keep warm.

There are hundreds of people on the Eighth Road. Even if you encounter a Japanese invader, you can stop one or two.

What?

Out of town now?

Dream!

The Japanese have long since blockaded the entire city.

Even if you can fly, you can't run out. Die this heart before it's too late.

What's more, even if you are lucky enough to escape from the city. The outside of the city was also full of Japanese invaders. The Japanese outside the city are not rookies like the gendarmerie. It's all field troops!

To encounter is to die.

"You can go to the Hotel of All Nations."

"Where?"

"Hotel of the Nations. Eight floors. There is an elevator. It is the tallest building in the city. ”

"Oh?"

Zhang Chu's mind moved.

Is there such a place in Taiyuan?

And the elevator?

This thing is definitely a rarity!

Although, in foreign countries, in Shanghai, elevators have become widespread. But Taiyuan ......

Good!

Just check it out!

Search the recyclables radar.

Found it.

The distance is a bit far.

It is necessary to cross five main streets. No wonder I didn't see it.

It's okay.

Five streets only......

immediately explained the situation to Jiang Yongwei.

Of course, Jiang Yongwei has no opinion. Immediately arrange for the troops to leave.

Attack all the way forward.

From time to time, he encountered sporadic Japanese invaders. Killed on the spot.

It's all the sniper's work.

Sniper rifle shoots from a distance. Many of the Japanese invaders didn't react.

Smooth progress.

Suddenly encountered a group of puppet soldiers. There is about a company.

Where did this puppet army come from? No one knows. Zhang Chu didn't notice either. But it doesn't matter. When you meet, you meet.

"Da Da Da!"

"Da Da Da!"

One shot solves most of it.

The remaining more than 30 puppet soldiers lay on the ground, desperately kowtowing and begging for mercy.

"Da Da Da!"

"Da Da Da!"

As a result, a mess of gunfire......

All the puppet soldiers were killed. Not a single one is left.

Jiang Yongwei and the others are all from the Shaanxi army, and they hate the puppet army very much. They don't want to take prisoners!

Zhang Chu: ......

Sweat......

These guys!

The shot is too heavy.

Our Eighth Route Army has three major disciplines and eight points of attention!

Think about it later......

Never mind. I'll talk about it when the political workers come.

Now, it's important to fight a war.

In fact, from another point of view, if the Shaanxi army falls into the hands of the puppet army, there will definitely be no way to survive.

War is so cruel.

Keep moving.

Finally, I met the Japanese invaders.

This is the main force of the Japanese garrison that has been reinforced. There were light machine guns and grenadiers.

The two sides engaged in a fierce battle.

There are a lot of Japanese invaders. There were more than 1,000 people. Judging by a complete brigade.

Both sides were a little surprised.

Zhang Chu didn't expect to meet the Japanese army's field brigade here.

The Japanese invaders didn't expect that what they encountered was actually the Eighth Route Army! Or the Eighth Route Army in military uniforms! It's an establishment!

Hurriedly report it.

"Nani?"

"The regular army of the Dirt Eighth Road?"

"How many hundred?"

Saburo Saito, who learned the news, was in disbelief.

Damn it!

The regular army of the Eighth Road has entered the city?

How could such a ridiculous thing happen?

Annoying!

No wonder the command was subjected to shelling.

It turned out that it was the regular army that encountered the dirt eight roads! They actually entered the city as an organization!

Who let them in?

Hundreds of people! How did you get into the city? And carry so many weapons and ammunition!

It doesn't feel like 10,000 things are right.

But now is not the time to hold accountable.

These are no longer important.

Now, the most important thing is to get rid of them as soon as possible.

Seeing that Yoshio Shinozuka was listless and numb, Saito Saburo had no choice but to pick the beam himself.

Mobilize troops and generals, and encircle them in many ways.

At the same time, the Japanese troops on the outskirts of Taiyuan were ordered to enter a state of combat readiness.

Saburo Saito worries that this is a combination of the inside and outside of Dirt Eight Road. Attract the attention of the Japanese army by making trouble inside the city, and then attack the city on the outer Dirt Eight Road!

Dirt Eight Road is cunning.

Don't be unguarded......

A brigade of Japanese soldiers was dispatched......

Another brigade of Japanese invaders was dispatched......

Another brigade......

Three brigades were arranged in a row, and Saburo Saito was a little relieved.

There was already a garrison brigade fighting with the dirt eight roads before. Together with the reinforcements of the three brigades, it is four brigades.

There are four brigades chasing and intercepting, and it should be able to solve the dirt road.

However......

There's always a problem.

What exactly does the dirt eight roads want to do?

Where are they attacking?

Headquarters?

Magazine?

It doesn't feel like it.

What are you going to do on the Dirt Eight Road towards the Wanguo Hotel?

"Da Da Da ......"

"Boom, boom, boom......"

Over there, a fierce battle is raging.

The Japanese Brigade and the Eighth Route Army fought inextricably.

Although the Japanese invaders have a brigade. But it did not carry infantry guns. There weren't even mortars.

Who would have imagined that there would be so many dirt roads!

It's too late to regret it.

Zhang Chu took the opportunity to bombard the other party with a mortar. At the same time crushed with heavy machine guns.

"Yaga!"

The Japanese brigade really couldn't bear it.

After a while, half of the Japanese brigade was lost. Had to retreat.

"Kill!"

"Kill!"

Jiang Yongwei led people to charge all the way.

The Japanese invaders were beaten and retreated.

"Smack!"

"Smack!"

Twenty sharpshooters took the opportunity to shoot cold.

One shot at a time.

One shot at a time.

It caused great casualties to the Japanese invaders.

Jiang Yongwei alone killed at least fifteen Japanese criminals. The record is quite impressive.

Fight all the way.

Successfully arrived outside the Wanguo Hotel.

Sure enough, the Hotel des Nations is an eight-story building. Quite large. The area of land feels like there are tens of thousands of square meters.

There are no other buildings around, and it is relatively empty.

Standing on the roof of the building, it is indeed able to effectively monitor the surroundings. Mortars can even be arranged on the rooftop.

The recoil of the mortar is not very strong. It's perfectly fine to fire on the rooftop.

Stand tall and see far. Hit wherever you want.

"Da Da Da!"

"Da Da Da!"

Gunshots rang out from the front.

But it was the Japanese in the Wanguo Hotel that was firing.

There are no Japanese soldiers here. But there are a lot of other Japanese. Many Japanese carry weapons.

Of course, they were no match for the Eighth Route Army at all.

"Up!"

"Up!"

Everyone rushed in and quickly occupied the first floor of the hotel. And all the doors and windows were sealed.

The personnel inside fled in terror. As a result, they were killed.

Of course, it was not the Eighth Route Army that fired. And the Japanese invaders who came later.

They are very cruel and ruthless.

Not only opened fire on the Eighth Route Army. The same is true for others.

"Come back!"

"Come back!"

Zhang Chu ordered the troops to cover the retreat of the others.

Most of them are hotel employees. There are men and women. Hurriedly retreated again.

"Kill!"

"Kill!"

A squad of Japanese invaders tried to rush up. Trying to fish in troubled waters.

Outcome......

"Da Da Da!"

"Da Da Da!"

The light machine guns and submachine guns that were on standby killed all of them in the streets.

Joke about it!

Can you take advantage of the chaos to rush up?

When the guy in our hands is eating dry rice? Come and die!

"Don't panic, everyone!"

"I guarantee the safety of each and every one of you!"

"Everybody find a place to hide! Prevent being hit by stray bullets! ”

"The chef keeps cooking!"

Zhang Chu shouted.

With so many people occupying the Hotel of the Nations, eating is a big problem.

He can request an airdrop of flour and rice. But it takes people to process. The professional equipment of the hotel kitchen still needs professional people to do it.

All the soldiers were the first time Grandma Liu entered the Grand View Garden and saw such a beautiful place.

Of course, that's not the point.

The point is to go up to the roof immediately.

The elevator also worked. But there weren't a few people seated. Most of them still have to take the stairs.

Ran to the roof of the building in a rage.

Sure enough, at a glance, the mountains are small.

All buildings within a radius of a few kilometers are under the control of the rooftops of the Hotel of the Nations.

"Over there, it's the Japanese Command......"

"Over there, it's the Japanese gendarmerie......"

"Over there, it's the devil's field hospital......"

The Ninth Master was pointing beside him.

He is still very familiar with Taiyuan City. There are quite a few things to know.

Zhang Chu immediately ordered the artillery to be erected.

Then launch.

The target was the headquarters of the Japanese First Army. Continue to bomb Yoshio Shinozuka.

"Boom!"

"Boom!"

Shells fell.

The impact point can be clearly seen.

It's simple.

As long as you can see the impact point, you can easily correct it.

"Bang ......"

"Bang ......"

More shells were fired.

One shell after another, it continued to fall in the middle of the Japanese command.

The Japanese Command suddenly turned into a sea of fire.

"Left!"

Suddenly, someone shouted.

Zhang Chu turned his head to look. It was discovered that a large group of Japanese soldiers were pouring in from the streets in the distance.

But it was a steady stream of Japanese reinforcements coming.

"Heavy machine gun!"

"Heavy machine gun!"

Zhang Chu immediately shouted.

Soon, a heavy machine gun was moved to the roof.

Erected on the edge of the roof.

Put on the good elastic chain. Immediately open fire on the Japanese in the distance.

"Sudden ......"

"Sudden ......"

Murderous bullets were fired.

The Japanese in the streets suddenly fell.

"Smack!"

"Smack!"

Sniper rifles fired again.

But it was not in this direction. And on the other side of the Japanese invaders.

Condescending shooting. Visibility was excellent.

Every move of the Japanese invaders is within their surveillance.

Unless it was the Japanese who brought in the field artillery.

However, if the Japanese field artillery appears, the telescope can also detect it.

In short, it can be held on for a while, but not for long.

The task is accomplished, and it is still necessary to break through.

How to break through?

To find more people, of course. Arm more people.

As long as there are two or three thousand people in hand, it will not be a problem to break through at all. Even, in turn, it is not difficult to fight for Taiyuan City with the Japanese invaders.

So......

"You're here to hold on."

"I'll go out and find someone else."
