The screams and explosions of artillery shells rang out. After the infantry attack failed, the first of the three axes of the Japanese army came again. [Flying] artillery shells passed over the heads of Geng Waliang and the others, hitting them precisely behind them.
The west gable of the warehouse on the right. Sasaki Gozo could clearly see from behind that the most important reason why this round of attack failed was because of the sudden attack of guerrilla snipers on that gable.
Next to the east gable wall of the warehouse, Xiang Shaomin lifted up the soaked quilt again and felt the trembling of the wall. He couldn't help but worry whether the wall would collapse. Looking at Xu Mengcai, he shouted loudly: "Is there anyone inside?
Get them out quickly."
Xu Mengcai also shouted back: "It's okay."
After being continuously hit by more than ten artillery shells, the west gable wall of the warehouse finally collapsed under the embarrassing weight. The smoke and dust dispersed. Sasaki picked up the telescope and looked at it. The next moment, he was stunned. Behind the wall was a long dragon-shaped building. He didn't know what it was.
The materials, and how they were constructed, actually withstood the continuous bombardment. Realizing that if this fortification was not destroyed, the subsequent attack would be fruitless. He went back to report to Matsui Tataro, and cautiously suggested whether to request Nanjing.
Aviation units provide tactical guidance.
The tactical guidance from the little devil actually meant asking for help. The attack was fruitless again. Matsui's face was already ugly. This time, he turned black. He blurted out "Ba Ge", and then said in a sad tone: "It's just a guerrilla."
, the number is less than a thousand, but our army of more than 10,000 people still asks for tactical guidance. Aren't you afraid of being laughed out of your mouth if you tell me? Don't be stingy with artillery shells, bombard me hard!"
The sound of artillery sounded again, and this time even the sandbag defenses in front of the warehouse were affected. Xiang Shaomin heard the sound of the artillery and looked around, and saw that Geng Waliang and the others had completely retracted under the Eight Immortals Table, and the fragments caused by the explosion of the artillery shell were stunned.
I couldn't tear open those quilts, so I couldn't help but marveled, raised my thumbs up and shouted: "High!"
Naturally, this round of shelling still had no effect. Matsui frowned, and his face was so gloomy that he could almost squeeze out the water. After thinking about it, he said to Sasaki: "Let all the Peace Army go, even if you use human lives, you can also fill it with me."
Make a passage!"
Sasaki took the order, activated more than 300 military policemen, set up machine guns, and drove the peace troops into the front line positions.
Zhang Lanfeng originally only led one division, but Xiang Shaomin rebelled halfway. Now he only has three regiments plus a few direct troops. He realized that the storming of the port dock would cause heavy losses and might lead to the total annihilation of the entire army, so he appealed to Matsui for mercy.
, hoping to leave some seeds for each battalion. He watched the whole battle and saw the density of firepower output of the defenders. He almost suspected that the people on the opposite side were not guerrillas, but regular troops of the Xuebing Army. His reasons were quite good.
, if the opponent is really a guerrilla, how could it be all automatic weapons? He made a comparison and said that the imperial army has not yet popularized the Type 15 semi-automatic rifle, and the cadet army has the ability to equip the guerrillas with regular army weapons regardless of their virtue or ability.
Do you have weapons? This is the first one. Secondly, the construction of defense fortifications and the decoration of forward positions of the guard army are not up to the level of irregular troops. He even suspected that there are still large troops of the student army in the port area.
, they might be preparing for a counterattack.
Zhang Lanfeng's analysis was actually full of loopholes, but the strong combat power and fighting determination shown by the defenders made Matsui dare not take it lightly. However, the old Japanese was stubborn and believed that the western end of Bawei could be reached in a few hours by walking on water.
When he arrived at the port, with the force he currently had, he was sure to defend it for three days even if he was besieged by the superior military force. Therefore, he insisted on what he had seen and asked the First Division of the Peace Army to launch a continuous offensive and use the superior force to
The defenders were exhausted and defeated.
"Tell your men that the imperial army will not treat them badly. If you kill a guerrilla, you will be rewarded with ten yuan! If you kill an officer, you will be rewarded with fifty yuan! But whoever dares to disobey orders and become a deserter will die."
! You officers, the Imperial Army will also hold your command accountable and punish you severely!" With these harsh words, Matsui led a group of Japanese soldiers from the division headquarters to the temporary headquarters set up on the inside of the river embankment. He said to Sasaki Yun
, he will supervise their attack here, and from now on, the troops will not stop until the port and wharf are captured.
A new round of bombardment by the Japanese army began again, with a larger scale. Everything in the dock became the target of bombardment. The walls on three sides and the flood control embankment near the river collapsed in pieces. Many warehouses, workshops, and barracks were also bombed.
The walls and roof were lost, and the workshop, which was mainly made of grass and wood, burst into flames.
After these buildings were completely destroyed, the camouflaged fortifications built by the guerrillas inside were revealed. What made Xiang Shao Sen incredible was that such intensive artillery fire failed to cause serious damage to them who were protected by quilts.
Injury, nearly two hundred guerrillas were exposed, except for a dozen who were directly killed by artillery shells or buried by collapsed brick walls, the others had their ears buzzing from the shock, and many of them did not even have oily skin.
Scratch a piece.
After this round of shelling, the two bunkers stood out from the crowd and became more and more abrupt. These two Japanese fortifications, which had been painstakingly constructed, withstood nearly dozens of shells, although the surface was full of pits and even the steel bars were exposed.
came out, but remained standing, just like the guerrillas who clung to the wall and wore soaked quilts.
During the bombardment, the Japanese engineers conducted an exploratory demining operation on the villages and fields north of the river embankment. Matsui obviously also realized that attacking from a single direction was not conducive to exerting their strength advantage. However, a small team of Japanese engineers worked hard for about two
Ten minutes later, more than half of them were killed. The old Japanese finally realized that attacking from another direction was not worth the gain, so they simply sent out the 5th Regiment to search for a new way to attack.
"Assault!" Sasaki Gozo brandished his command sword and shouted at the Peace Army officer in front of him. Beside him were a dozen expressionless Japanese military policemen holding crooked light machine guns.
The dark muzzles of the crooked guns made the Peace Army officers feel like thorns in their backs. They waved their shell guns and bastard boxes and shouted hysterically: "To advance is to die, and to retreat is also death. Brothers, just kill a guerrilla."
There are ten dollars, and it’s fifty dollars to kill an officer! Give me a charge!"
Under the coercion and inducement of the Japanese, the puppet troops gritted their teeth and finally launched a decent attack.
On the garrison position, dozens more guerrillas entered the front line from the bunker in the warehouse carrying the Eight Immortals table wrapped in quilts. Many of them were carrying baskets of grenades in their hands, and some were carrying grenades on their shoulders.
Wearing something similar to a briquette chimney.
Xiang Shaomin: "Captain Xu, let me and my brothers come up."
Xu Mengcai shook his head: "Don't worry, we still have to fight this battle."
