The explosion of artillery shells has completely stopped.
In order to ensure the success of the attack, they also sent two majors to lead the attack.
The Japanese soldiers who had long been prepared to charge had their rifles drawn. Under the arrangement of the two majors, they entered the streets and alleys of Rencheng again.
Akiko Hase and Yuta Ogawa, who had been defeated before, also asked for orders to join the battle, hoping to avenge their shame.
They knew very well that if they didn't clean up at this time, they would be the ones who would be washed up. They led a squadron to fight, but when they came back, there was not even a small squadron.
The Japanese troops have a rampant culture of shame, and they must regain face after being defeated in front of their defeated generals.
After being captured by the Japanese, the streets had long since become dilapidated, with ruins and ruins everywhere.
This time, the attacking Japanese consisted of four infantry squadrons, numbering more than a thousand people.
In order to ensure that their attack goes smoothly, each infantry squadron is followed by an artillery piece to ensure artillery support.
These Japanese were also frightened by the trap and were prepared to wait until the threat came into contact before sending out chariots to fight.
More than a thousand Japanese soldiers dispersed in small groups towards the cobweb-like streets, preparing to clean up the remnants of the enemy under the bombardment.
The Japanese artillery deployed artillery on the streets. The artillerymen used the gun scope to observe the situation and adjust the direction of the barrel.
If you find someone, just shoot them directly.
Of course, the small streets are definitely not that big of a deal. The Japanese artillerymen guard the main roads, where they think they are blind spots for shooting.
They did not believe that the defenders in Ren City still had fighting ability at this time.
This attack is nothing more than cleaning the battlefield and clearing out some half-dead enemies, unless the enemies in any city are all iron men.
Otherwise, they must have lost their combat effectiveness long ago. How could they maintain their combat effectiveness with such intensive bombing?
I was so scared that I lost my courage!
Even so.
But having learned from past mistakes, they also dare not take it lightly.
Especially Akiko Hase and Yuta Ogawa, they walked back to back in the middle of the street. When they encountered a window, they would subconsciously shrink their heads.
Whenever they see rubble, they will fire a shot to determine if there are any enemies hidden.
Especially when encountering a wooden plank covering the street, they will carefully observe it and only kick it aside after making sure it is safe.
The same goes for the rest of the Japanese soldiers. If they find anything suspicious, they will shoot it directly, regardless of whether it is really abnormal or not.
As for searching the room, or carefully inspecting the ruins...
First of all, they don't have enough troops, so it would be a waste of time if they really have to do this.
Secondly, they were very confident that no one could survive such a bombing.
They are also about to learn a painful lesson, and overconfidence will be punished.
As the Japs continued to penetrate deeper, these Japs soldiers had unknowingly entered the depths of Ren City, several hundred meters away from the city gate.
Even if they go deep into this, they will find nothing.
Except for the occasional corpses that were blown into two pieces or roasted.
Seeing this scene, they were even more convinced that the defenders who had previously guarded Rencheng would have been completely defeated by them.
As for why I didn't see the remaining soldiers.
With such a violent bombing, they must have escaped long ago. Who would stay here stupidly? Could it be that they want to wait to die?
The leading Japanese Major was a little disdainful. He originally wanted to stab a few Chinese soldiers to death as a tribute to his own saber.
"These damn Chinese people are running away very fast. They are just like rats in the sewer." The Japanese major stood on a manhole cover, holding his command knife, looking around and said with dissatisfaction.
After hearing this, Akiko Hase and Yuta Ogawa didn't think so. They looked at each other, suppressed their desire to speak, and continued to observe the surrounding situation.
Facts prove.
The Japanese are indeed very confident. According to the past, when they don't know whether there are enemies in the city, they should occupy the high ground first.
And they had passed several commanding heights that could be used as blocking positions, but they still did not send troops there, and they did not even bother to fire.
A favorable commanding height can effectively suppress the enemy's firepower. The Japanese naturally understand this very well.
But they couldn't escape because the enemy had been bombed to the point of collapse.
These devils just want to clear out as many corpses as possible to complete this collection of corpses.
They kept pressing forward and getting deeper and deeper.
This group of Japanese soldiers would never have imagined that at the commanding heights they passed by, as well as some rubble, there were soldiers with loaded weapons lying down.
If the Japanese were willing to search carefully, they would definitely find clues, but the Japanese chose to give up.
This undoubtedly gave Ding Wei and others a chance.
The soldiers also cherished this opportunity very much and tried their best to make no noise in order to attract the gang of Japanese soldiers to go deeper.
This mission is to lure the enemy deeper. If due to personal reasons, this mission fails.
A soldier came forward and once again ambushed the city.
As early as the bombing began, Ding Wei ordered the soldiers to hide in the sewers nearby.
The sewers that had cost a lot of money to build back then had extraordinary bombing capabilities. When the bombing gradually ended, the soldiers returned to their positions and lurked again.
This is an opportunity that Ding Wei has been waiting for, an excellent opportunity for an ambush.
The Japs before were so cowardly that they ran away without getting enough of the beating.
But now, all these more than a thousand Japanese soldiers have to stay here.
Including the four artillery pieces, this is a good defensive tool. Once the Japanese come up again, let them have a taste of artillery.
In the temporary headquarters.
Information about the Japanese is being reported continuously.
When all the Japanese soldiers entered the ambush circle, Ding Wei no longer wasted time and decisively issued the order to attack.
"boom!"
Suddenly, a sudden gunshot sounded in the quiet county town.
"Who's shooting!"
Chinese official rifle!
On a certain street, the Japanese major was shocked when he heard the gunfire and decisively took out the Nanbu pistol in his waist.
Then, he hurriedly waved his hand and ordered the soldiers to protect him and surround him.
The Major probably didn't expect that after all this time, the defenders in Ren City would dare to fight back?
The sound of gunfire is the horn for the soldiers to charge.
After the gunfire fell, a burst of rapid gunfire suddenly rang out in streets large and small.
Firepower from all directions immediately formed a dense firepower net. The light machine guns hidden on both sides of the connecting road were spraying bullets towards the connecting channel as if they were free of charge.
Even from the commanding heights where they thought there was no one, suddenly a few bricks fell down, and then they could see a dark gun muzzle sticking out.
Heavy machine gun!
"Da da da da..."
The heavy machine gun at the commanding heights suddenly opened fire, immediately smashing several Japanese soldiers on the street into a sieve, like an autumn harvest, knocking the Japanese to the ground one after another.
In addition to the heavy machine guns at the commanding heights of the main road, sharpshooters were also ambushed at several other commanding heights.
Lu Fang and McKinsey were lying on a commanding height, each holding a Type 38 rifle in their hands, aiming at the Japanese soldiers on the street.
The place where these two people ambush is indeed a good place. Lying here, you can have an unobstructed view of Rencheng City, and you can clearly see the situation of each street.
The two of them felt like they could pee into a pot. They had made an agreement before the battle began. Whoever killed more Japanese in this battle would win.
Whoever is younger will be treated to a drink, provided that both of them can survive!
McKinsey held up a Chinese formal cigarette and called the Japanese on the street one by one.
Not to be outdone, Lu Fang soon discovered that there was a Japanese major on the street.
There is no other reason than that it is too conspicuous. Several Japs are surrounding him. He is obviously a Japs officer.
Ding Wei has been teaching them this way since the 28th Regiment. After a long period of exposure, Lu Fang naturally developed this habit.
The distance between the two was about three hundred meters. Lu Fang did not hesitate, aimed at the major's head, and decisively pulled the trigger.
"boom!"
A gunshot rang out, and blazing bullets came out of the gun. The Jaap Major, who was being protected by the Japs soldiers, fell to the ground with his head stunned and his eyes blank.
After killing this target, Lu Fang continued to look for the next target.
McKinsey's luck was so good. All he met were ordinary Japanese soldiers, and he named them one by one.
Although the Japanese were caught off guard and attacked by the defenders, their response was very quick.
When they heard the sudden rapid gunfire and saw their companions falling to the ground one after another, they immediately reacted and tried to find a bunker to counterattack.
However, this didn't have much effect, because the bullets came from all directions, and they encountered fire from both sides almost at the same time.
Even if they try to stick to the corner, they will be hit by bullets from the front, and bullets are flying everywhere.
The Japs lost their judgment for a moment and didn't know which side to attack first.
The current situation is that as soon as the enemy's firepower point is determined, bullets will come from another direction before raising the gun to shoot.
The Japs' troops were dispersed and they fought in small groups. They had insufficient troops and insufficient firepower, and they had no way to counterattack.
There is nothing they can do. Machine guns, heavy machine guns, grenades, and mortars cannot be used to cover everything.
Suddenly attacked, the remaining major did not dare to move forward.
He found an angle, which was not easily hit by bullets. Looking at the bullets flying in front of him, he wanted to eat people.
When Akiko Hase and Yuta Ogawa heard the gunfire, they immediately jumped behind the bunker and took out the Nanbu pistol.
"Bagaya Road, a bunch of idiots, attack, attack!" the Japanese Major waved his command knife and gave the order with a bared teeth.
A stray bullet hit his wrist directly.
"ah!"
The Japanese Major screamed and dropped the command knife in his hand to the ground.
"Assholes, these damn Chinese pigs, are you idiots?" the major screamed in pain, "yelling at the soldiers next to you."
Upon hearing this, several Japanese soldiers rushed forward, but as soon as they got up, they were knocked to the ground by bullets.
Immediately afterwards, a large number of bullets hit the street, and a large number of bullet holes suddenly appeared on the stone road.
The other Japanese soldiers were also suppressed by this firepower, and they all hunkered down, only daring to fire randomly at the outside without even daring to raise their heads.
"Trash, idiots, you idiots, machine gunners cover, use grenade to knock down the heavy machine gun on the high ground!" the major shouted urgently.
Then, he looked at another soldier and shouted: "Hurry up and order the artillery to aim at the commanding heights and fire. You must knock out all the enemy's firepower from the commanding heights!"
The two Japanese soldiers were one behind the other. The Japanese soldier in front was kneeling on the ground as a gun stand, while the Japanese machine gunner was holding a machine gun and pouring firepower around.
"Hai!" When the Japanese soldier was called, he immediately nodded, and then hurriedly retreated along the corner towards the place where they came in.
In his opinion, being able to stay away from this firepower point would give him an extra chance to save his life.
Taking advantage of the gap when the firepower was attracted, the Japanese grenadier hurriedly carried a grenade and quickly came to the street.
"That's right, blow him up, blow up that damn machine gunner!" Major yelled, with an excited smile on his face.
The Japanese grenade hand simply measured the distance, then took out the grenade from his waist and was about to throw it into the grenade.
A bullet hit him in the chest.
A bloody hole immediately appeared on this guy's chest, and he leaned forward and fell to the ground.
His hand slipped and the grenade slid into the chamber.
The grenade in his hand also fell to the ground, and the position where the muzzle was aimed was exactly where the major was.
There was a muffled sound of "Boom".
The grenade stuck to the ground and flew directly towards the major's position.
The major, who was full of excitement, subconsciously looked towards the street when he heard the gunfire, looking at the body lying in a pool of blood.
Especially when he saw the muzzle of the grenade aimed at him, his eyes widened.
Just as he was about to fly out, the grenade flew in front of him.
There was a loud bang.
A ray of fire suddenly bloomed on the spot, and together with the major, the two Japanese soldiers guarding him were also thrown away.
"ah!"
The Japanese Major suddenly let out a shrill scream, was thrown into the middle of the street, and hit the ground heavily.
The guy's body twitched twice, spit out a mouthful of blood, and closed his eyes with a look of reluctance.
The major probably never imagined that he would end his life in such a dramatic way.
The Japanese are now leaderless. In order to deploy their troops in various streets, they spread their troops and firepower too thinly.
Especially since they did not understand the internal situation of Ren City and made such a stupid order.
The consequence of this kind of order was that they were only beaten in batches, and the light and heavy machine guns, grenades, and mortars were unable to function at all.
When the Japanese artillerymen on the street heard the rapid gunshots coming from inside, their eyes widened suddenly and they looked into the depths.
However, there is no reason for their position at all.
But listening to the sounds deep in the street, it seems that the situation of the companions inside is not good.
But since there was no battle order, they didn't know what to do, so they could only wait patiently.
Little did they know that they were in the same situation. Several soldiers guarding the streets were now holding light machine guns and aiming at the position of these artillerymen.
These pieces of equipment that could have shone brightly on the battlefield did not appear where they should because there was no command.
These artillerymen also noticed the commanding heights from which they were firing.
But they didn't know whether their companions had occupied these commanding heights.
Without accurate firing orders, they did not dare to fire for a while, fearing that they would accidentally injure their own people.
