154 First Encounter with the Cruelty of Street Fighting
Boom boom boom!
Da da da!
At this time, bursts of violent explosions and gunshots were heard on the street south of Shen Ce Gate.
"Bazooka, shoot down those two devils' grenade launchers for me."
"Everyone else, follow me."
The two battalions under Zhou Pingkou engaged in a fierce firefight with two battalions of the Japanese Sixth Mixed Brigade in this small urban area.
Both sides came for revenge.
Therefore, there was no testing between the two at the beginning, and they just launched a fierce attack directly.
Both sides were on the offensive.
The national army soldiers under Zhou Pingkou did not regard this battle as a defensive battle at all.
Bullshit defense.
What they wanted was to take the initiative to attack and kill all the Japanese in the 6th Mixed Brigade.
The Japanese, on the other hand, positioned themselves as the attacking party.
Therefore, one can imagine how fierce the battle between the two sides was.
Moreover, as the soldiers of both sides continued to charge and fight, their attacking teams became intertwined.
The two sides began to fight for street by street and building by building.
In just half a day, the first battalion on the front line suffered nearly 200 casualties.
"Captain, the Japanese attack is too crazy.
My battalion suffered too many casualties.
Yes, yes, I understand.
You must not retreat even a single step, or I will bring my head to you."
The commander of the first battalion hung up the phone, and fierce gunfire was heard from an intersection ahead.
His battalion headquarters was only one mile away from the exchange zone with the Japanese.
“Damn it, the captain said so.
In this battle, we must wipe out the Japanese Sixth Mixed Brigade.
Our First Battalion is the main force and we must block the advance of the main force of the Japanese.
Tell my brothers to beat them hard.
Let's walk together on the road to the underworld."
"Everyone in the battalion, grab your guns. If necessary, I will lead you to the front."
The soldiers on Zhou Pingkou's side fought very hard and suffered heavy casualties.
Similarly, the casualties suffered by the opposing Japanese Sixth Mixed Brigade also made the Japanese brigade commander Kunimori Shinichi unbelievable.
"What? We've only been fighting for half a day and we've already lost an entire squadron of soldiers?"
The old Japanese soldier Kunimori Shinichi was also shocked after seeing the news sent back by the Japanese commander at the front line.
However, the next second his expression turned ferocious.
He shouted to the Japanese Chief of Staff next to him: "Pass the order down, the intensity of the attack cannot be reduced.
The Chinese won’t be able to hold out for long, we must defeat them.”
"Hi!"
The Japanese chief of staff next to him responded and then went down to convey the order.
The old Japanese soldier Guo Shengzhen had no choice. This time he entered the city to fight in order to redeem himself for his crime.
He must perform well to make up for his previous mistakes.
For this, he is willing to pay any price.
"Onboard!"
The Japanese soldiers of the Sixth Mixed Brigade on the front line did fight desperately.
After their attack was completely blocked by two battalions under Zhou Pingkou.
The two Japanese battalions on the front line continued to launch wave after wave of attacks.
Countless Japanese soldiers with bare chests and sanitary napkins wrapped around their heads roared and launched a desperate charge.
"Little devil, I'm going to fuck your ancestors!"
boom!
At the entrance of a street, an old soldier roared and rushed over with a bag of explosives.
The soldier who fought a desperate charge with four or five Japanese devils died together with him.
At the corner, a squad of National Army soldiers and a squad of Japanese soldiers encountered each other, with only a dozen meters between them.
"Baga! Kill them!"
"Fuck you, little devils, kill them!"
Bang bang bang!
As the two sides were in close proximity, no one ran away, let alone had time to hide.
Instead, he immediately fired at the other party wildly.
Puff puff!
The close-range exchange of fire resulted in soldiers from both sides being shot and falling down one after another.
But still no one was afraid.
At this time, the soldiers of the National Army squad and the Japanese soldiers on the opposite side all had the same idea in their minds.
That is to kill, kill all the enemies.
As for whether I would die, I didn't have time to think about it.
"Ahhh, those damn devils!"
Da da da!
At this time, the two submachine guns equipped by the Kuomintang squad played a key role.
The two submachine guns had an extremely high firing rate, which continuously mowed down the Japanese soldiers on the opposite side.
Finally, after only half a minute of close-range shooting.
The dozen or so Japanese soldiers on the opposite side were all knocked down, and no one was left standing.
The close-range gunfight between the two sides came to an end.
Five soldiers from the National Army squad also fell.
This close encounter between the attacking teams of both sides was fierce but short.
“Quick, clean up the battlefield, and leave the wounded behind.
Everyone else, continue to attack with me."
The squad leader, a veteran of the National Army, who was leading the team, spoke to everyone.
He immediately led his men to rush into the pile of dead bodies of the Japanese soldiers fallen in front.
Da da da!
Seeing that some Japanese wounded soldiers were still alive and not completely killed, he immediately fired a volley of bullets at them.
Make sure he's dead.
Before this, Ye Qingshan had taught these veterans about the tactics of street fighting and the firepower coordination of street fighting teams.
At this moment, play a role.
Once the Kuomintang assault team and the Japanese attack team encounter each other.
In the end, it is usually the National Army assault team that wins the final victory.
The Japanese casualties were even greater than those on Zhou Pingkou's side.
The balance of victory was slowly tilting towards the National Army.
In the afternoon, the Japanese Sixth Mixed Brigade was pushed back to the vicinity of Shence Gate by Zhou Pingkou's troops.
The Japanese didn't want to retreat, but unfortunately their casualties were too heavy.
They were forced to retreat. If they didn't, they would be annihilated here.
The Japs are not afraid of death when fighting, but that doesn't mean they are stupid and willing to die in vain.
The Japanese grassroots officers and soldiers had never encountered such brutal street fighting before.
They also lack experience.
Therefore, this time their performance was actually not as good as that of the National Army’s soldiers.
There is no way, because the National Army has Ye Qingshan, a hanging wall.
They were instructed in advance on how to fight street battles.
Compared with the Japanese officers, they are still unfamiliar with street fighting.
Ye Qingshan was not unfamiliar with it at all.
"What? You found the headquarters of the Sixth Mixed Brigade of the Japanese?
Did we destroy the Japanese brigade headquarters?
No, I let him run away."
In the afternoon, Zhou Pingkou almost got excited after receiving the new battle report from the front line.
It’s a pity that the old devil Kunimori Shinichi escaped in the end.
At three o'clock in the afternoon of the 12th, the Japanese Sixth Mixed Brigade entered the city from the Shen Ce Gate, less than eight hours after entering the city.
They were driven out, leaving behind more than 700 Japanese corpses.
As for the injured Japanese, there were even more of them.
The last regiment of the Japanese Sixth Mixed Brigade was severely damaged and crippled after this battle.
Such a setback and such heavy casualties were something that the Japanese brigade commander Kunimori Shinichi could never have imagined.
