Chapter 66 Attack the power plant!

"Yes, group seat."

The orderly soldier waiting on the side immediately ran away to deliver the order.

Soon, Wang Dazhu, the commander of the artillery company of the 303rd Regiment of the Jinsui Army, and the artillery of the command post concentrated their artillery fire and extended it to suppress the condescending shooting fire position of the Japanese at the top of the east gate city, which was very likely to be a Japanese enemy, to cover the first battalion of the 303rd Regiment of the Jinsui Army and other infantry.

Each battalion launched an attack.

After receiving the order to attack and charge, Chen Zhenping, commander of the first battalion of the 303rd Regiment of the Jinsui Army, and several others followed the tactics of cautious charge and attacked the east gate of Heyuan County under the cover of artillery fire.

Xu Rui and Chief of Staff Luo Youdu led the mobile command post behind the attacking troops, leaving a safe distance to follow the command.

"Boom boom boom, boom boom boom!!"

"Da da da, bang bang bang!!"

As expected, the Japanese at the top of the east gate followed Sakata Nobori's order and poured out fierce firepower on the top of the city for less than two minutes. They quickly withdrew from the top of the city, got off the top of the city and went straight into the city before withdrawing.

Therefore, Xu Rui commanded the first battalion and other troops to successfully and safely break through the East Gate and enter the East Gate of Heyuan County.

"The second battalion made a circuitous route and attacked the Japanese positions such as the Bus Station in South Gate City. The third battalion made a circuitous route to the north gate city and attacked the Japanese positions such as Juxian Tower. The first battalion followed me and stormed the Japanese defense lines such as the East Gate Power Plant."

After Xu Rui entered the city, he immediately ordered the first battalion commander Chen Zhenping, the second battalion commander Liu Shuoming and the third battalion commander Chu Hua, "If there is any situation, directly use the Japs walkie-talkie that was captured before to contact the mobile headquarters directly!"

"Yes, Tuanzuo!"

Chen Zhenping and others said loudly, and then immediately commanded the actions of various ministries.

Xu Rui, together with Chief of Staff Luo Youdu, commanded the 1st Battalion of Chen Zhenping, together with the 1st Reconnaissance Company and some troops directly under the Regiment, and stormed along the main street of Dongmen towards the power plant area in the depth of Dongmen City.

It has to be said that the little devils are very good at building fortifications.

Even if they were hastily transferred to the defense of Heyuan County, a large number of barricades and other fortifications were built in the city to block the attack of the siege troops.

Especially at that time, Xu Rui commanded the main force of the infantry to outflank Heyuan County in a roundabout pincer attack from Wanjia Town and Sanlipu.

Therefore, the period of time gave Sakata Nobori the preparation time to build a large number of fortifications in the city and set up street fighting positions in the city.

Therefore, Xu Rui personally commanded the 1st Battalion and other units to advance in depth along Dongmen Main Street. When they reached the power plant area, they immediately encountered a Japanese squadron that had built strong fortifications to block the attack.

"Da da da, da da da!!"

Xu Rui directed more than 600 people under Chen Zhenping to fight to a street intersection fifty meters in front of the power plant gate in Dongmen City. They soon encountered a Japanese heavy machine gun position set up at the intersection in front of the gate.

of violent shooting.

"hidden!"

Xu Rui immediately ordered his troops to stop attacking and take cover on the spot.

"Disperse and conceal, suppress with machine gun fire!"

After finding a hidden place to observe the Japanese heavy machine gun fortifications at the intersection ahead, Xu Rui immediately commanded the first battalion and other units to disperse and hide.

"Yes, Tuanzuo!"

After receiving the order, the first battalion commander Chen Zhenping immediately commanded the more than 500 soldiers of the first battalion to disperse and hide. The machine gunners immediately stepped forward to suppress the fire.

"Da da da, da da da!!!"

Strings of machine gun flames hit the Japanese heavy machine gun position at the intersection in front of the power plant, and strings of sparks flew everywhere.

However, the Japanese who built a heavy machine gun fortification at the intersection in front of the power plant entrance had three Type 92 heavy machine guns, forming a triangular cross position radiating to the east, blocking the charging route of the attacking troops.

Even if the machine gunners were mobilized to suppress fire, they would not be able to hit the Japanese machine gunners hiding in the ring machine gun fortress built with sandbags in a short time.

After fighting for three full minutes, he still couldn't rush over, which immediately made Xu Rui frown.

"Regiment leader, it's time to bring up the mortars!"

Chief of Staff Luo Youdu suggested, which was quite prudent.

"I forgot about this!"

Xu Rui mortared his own head and complained a little about himself, laughing: "In street fighting, mortars are the most useful."

"Ask Wang Dazhu to bring up the mortars and blast the Japs' machine gun fortress for me!"

Afterwards, Xu Rui immediately shouted to the messenger.

"Yes, Danzai!!"

The messenger responded, and the cat slumped backwards and ran over.

The artillery company that follows the infantry attack will of course divide its troops and follow the second and third battalions to provide artillery support to Juxian Tower, the bus station and other Japanese defense positions in the city.

At the power plant in Dongmen City, Wang Dazhu personally directed the remaining artillery to follow.

Soon, Wang Dazhu, commander of the artillery company of the 303rd Regiment of the Jinsui Army, came up from behind the team with a mortar.

“Duanzao!!”

Wang Dazhu immediately reported to Xu Rui.

"Bomb the Japanese heavy machine gun fortress at the intersection for me."

In the darkness of the fierce battle, Xu Rui pointed to the Japanese heavy machine gun fortress built at the intersection in front of the power plant and ordered.

"clear!!!"

Wang Dazhu nodded, then immediately slipped to the side, found a concealed bombardment position, and personally directed several artillerymen under his command to set up two 82 mm caliber mortars.

"Target crossroads, Japanese heavy machine gun fortifications, 48 ​​meters away, zero and three to the right, height minus two, two rapid fire rounds, ready, fire!!!"

After Wang Dazhu ordered the artillerymen to adjust the bombardment coordinates, he immediately raised his raised right hand.

“Boom!!!”

Two 82mm caliber mortar shells screamed fiercely in the night sky amid the gunfire and explosions of the fierce battle.

Immediately, under the gaze of Major Yuji Kurihara, captain of the 2nd Infantry Battalion of the Sakata Regiment, who was hiding on the wall of the power plant gate and watching the fierce battle at the intersection, he smashed into the Japanese heavy machine gun fortress at the intersection.

"Boom boom!"

Wang Dazhu is indeed the most skilled artilleryman under Xu Rui. This boy personally directed the artillery to fire. The first two rounds of artillery shells directly blew up the heavy machine gun fortress made of sandbags into the sky.

In the flames of the explosion, you could vaguely see the broken limbs of the Japanese machine gunner who was blown up into the night sky by the shells.

"Boooooooo!!!"

Later, Wang Dazhu fired two more rounds of mortar shells, completely blowing the Japanese heavy machine gun fortress at the intersection in front of the power plant entrance into ruins.

In particular, the heavy machine gun fortifications built by the Japanese were circular machine gun fortresses built with sandbags.

It can still block half of the rifle bullets and light machine gun bullets, but if it is hit by a mortar shell, it can only explode into pieces.

"hateful!"

Major Yuji Kurihara, captain of the 2nd Infantry Battalion of the Sakata Regiment, saw from a high position on the wall surrounding the power plant gate that the heavy machine gun fortress built on the street at the crossroads not far in front of the power plant gate was bombed and turned off, and he gritted his teeth and hated it.

"Captain, the machine gun position at the intersection has been lost. We must retreat to the core area of ​​the power plant."

Captain Nakamura Takao, the chief of staff of Yuji Kurihara's brigade, said hurriedly.

"I didn't expect that Xu Rui's troops have such strong artillery tactics!"

Kurihara Yuji gritted his teeth, and then reluctantly ordered: "The team at the power plant gate, hold on tight."

"The remaining troops retreat to the core area of ​​the power plant and prepare for street fighting."

After a pause, Kurihara Yuji continued to bite his teeth at Chief of Staff Takao Nakamura and said: "Call and report to the commander that the power plant is being attacked by at least one battalion of enemy troops, and the heavy machine gun position at the intersection in front of the power plant has been lost.

”.

"Asking for support! Hurry up!"
