Chapter 318 Direct firepower
While the Japanese engineers were clearing mines, a Japanese squadron was searching for the street fighting fortifications of the 181st Regiment.
On a street several hundred meters long, Japanese soldiers were searching with Type 38 rifles.
The Japanese soldiers had been searching the streets, but failed to enter the house.
After walking for a long time, the Japanese soldiers didn't even see half of the Chinese soldiers.
This street is really too quiet!
The quieter the battlefield is, the more nervous the soldiers feel.
The more tension there is, the more likely danger will occur.
Suddenly, a gunshot rang out from the direction of the inn, but it was just a gunshot.
The Japanese soldiers turned their guns one after another and aimed their fire in the direction of the inn.
Bang bang bang!
Da da da!
The inn's signboard was badly damaged.
Looking at an inn in front of him, the Japanese squadron leader shouted: "Sir Xiangye, take a few soldiers to search the inn in front of you!"
After agreeing, Sergeant Xiangye immediately ordered a few imperial soldiers and rushed towards the inn.
The Japanese squadron leader ordered his soldiers to stay put and be alert.
Holding up their Type 38 rifles in unison, several little Japs pushed towards the inn from fifty meters away.
At this moment, a brick fell from the wall on the second floor of the inn.
The barrel of a Czech light machine gun protruded from the firing hole.
Da da da!
The Czech light machine gun fired wildly at Sergeant Kono's soldiers.
In an instant, the few Japanese soldiers who were at the front were beaten into pieces.
Sergeant Kono was also suppressed behind a corpse.
Seeing that the reconnaissance soldiers were shot dead, the Japanese squadron leader shouted sharply: "There is a Chinese army at twelve o'clock, come on!"
The next moment, the Japanese soldiers rushed toward the inn deep in the street.
Bang bang bang!
Rub rub rub rub!
Da da da!
The Japanese soldiers ran and charged forward.
However, the Japanese soldiers were quickly suppressed by Czech light machine guns.
The position of the third battalion commander's Czech light machine gun could be said to be inaccessible to one man.
Even though the Japs are outnumbered, they can only be taught how to behave when faced with the condescending Czech light machine guns.
The Japanese soldiers' attack on the inn was severely frustrated. There was almost nothing they could do with the Czech light machine guns high up in the inn.
He ran over with his waist stooped, and a Japanese squad leader shouted urgently: "Your Excellency, squadron leader, the machine gun firepower of the Chinese Army is too difficult to deal with. We need to think of a way to do it!"
Staring at the Czech light machine gun in the distance, the Japanese squadron leader shouted in a deep voice: "To use smoke bombs, you lead a group of soldiers to get closer! I will cover you!"
The Japanese squad leader shouted: "Hai!"
The next moment, a dozen little Japs rushed toward the inn with Czech light machine guns from high altitudes.
Suddenly raising his saber, the Japanese squadron leader shouted at the top of his voice: "Heavy machine gun team, grenade team, cover! Cover!"
The next moment, pieces of white smoke bloomed in front of the inn.
At this moment, the firepower hidden on both sides of the street also emerged!
Da da da!
Bang bang bang!
Several fire snakes bit the little devil on the street.
In an instant, more than half of the unobstructed Japanese soldiers on the streets were swept away.
The Japanese squadron leader shouted: "Baga! We are ambushed! Quick, get out!"
The Japanese soldiers turned around and retreated toward the north gate.
It's really not that easy for the Japanese to escape.
The crossfire network of the 181st Regiment was personally directed by Liang Shanhao.
As soon as the Japanese soldier ran a few meters away, he was hit by crossfire again and was doubtful about his life.
In desperation, the Japanese squadron could only order the remaining troops to rush into a courtyard and defend it.
Seeing the Japanese soldiers rushing into a courtyard, the commander of the 183rd Regiment ordered the soldiers to attack.
Rows of wooden-handled grenades flew in like a goddess scattering flowers, and the entire Japanese squadron was completely wiped out!
However, there was still a wounded Japanese soldier who slipped back to the north gate while the soldiers were not paying attention.
…
The headquarters of the 31st Division.
Liang Shanhao is studying the military situation of each position.
The chief of staff shouted: "Master! After the Japanese soldiers broke through the north gate city wall, the 181st Regiment is now at war with the Japanese in the street fighting fortifications!"
Liang Shanhao asked in a deep voice: "How is the battle situation now?"
The chief of staff shouted: "There is a fierce battle, and the battle report has not been sent from the 181st Regiment!"
Liang Shanhao shouted: "Pay attention to maintaining communication with all troops!"
As soon as he finished speaking, a communications soldier ran in happily.
After giving a military salute to Liang Shanhao, the signal soldier shouted: "Reporting to the commander's seat, the 181st Regiment killed a squadron of little Japs on the street of the inn!"
Putting the pencil in his hand on the table, Liang Shanhao asked: "Oh? An entire Japanese squadron was wiped out?"
The signal soldier shouted: "We also killed a Japanese squadron leader!"
Suddenly clenching his fist, the chief of staff exclaimed excitedly: "Great! This battle is really satisfying!"
Liang Shanhao also shouted: "Well done, well done to the 181st Regiment!"
Frowning, the chief of staff shouted: "But master, the enemy's next attack will definitely be more violent! The 181st Regiment will face a more severe test!"
Liang Shanhao shouted: "The street fighting fortifications must not be lost. The 181st Regiment must be defended by me no matter what. Chief of Staff, do you have any suggestions for the next defense?"
After pondering for a moment, the chief of staff shouted: "In my opinion, I think we should send additional troops to the 181st Regiment to prevent unexpected events!"
Waving his hand to the chief of staff, Liang Shanhao shouted repeatedly: "No, no, no, it's too early to send more troops!"
The chief of staff shouted: "Then what do you think should be done?"
After thinking for a while, Liang Shanhao shouted: "Let's do this! Transfer a mortar platoon to them to strengthen the firepower of the 181st Regiment!"
Nodding, the chief of staff shouted: "I think this idea works! The 181st Regiment's heavy firepower is not enough, so we need to get some mortars!"
Liang Shanhao shouted: "Okay! That's it! Communications Corps, order Platoon Leader Hao to immediately lead the artillery platoon to reinforce the 181st Regiment!"
Raising his head towards Liangshan Haoyi, the communications soldier shouted: "Yes!"
…
Tenth Division Headquarters.
The commander of the Isotani Division is directing the battle to attack Taierzhuang.
At this time the chief of staff ran over.
The chief of staff shouted: "Your Excellency, division commander! Something bad has happened. The 32nd Regiment's attack was unfavorable and a squadron was lost in the urban area!"
With his eyes widened, the commander of the Isoya Division jumped to his feet and shouted: "Nani? How could this happen? Didn't we have a smooth fight at the North Gate City Wall just now? Why did we stumble in the city!"
The chief of staff shouted: "Your Excellency, the division commander, doesn't know something! The Chinese Army deployed side fire on both sides of the street and decoy fire deep in the street, so a squadron of the 32nd Regiment was in the process of reconnaissance.
, encountered a deadly crossfire attack!"
Suddenly taking a breath of cold air, the commander of the Isotani Division shouted: "Why does this method sound familiar to me! Wang Mingzhang, Wang Mingzhang's 122nd Division also defended in this way!"
The chief of staff shouted: "Wang Mingzhang? Wasn't he already killed by the empire's artillery fire?"
The commander of the Isotani Division shouted: "No, I mean that the garrison at Taierzhuang has also learned new street fighting tactics!"
In fact, the Taierzhuang defenders did not learn new street fighting tactics, but Chi Fengcheng's consciousness was now dominated by Liang Shanhao.
Therefore, the street fighting tactics in Teng County are somewhat similar to those in Taierzhuang.
Of course, the Isotani division commander would not understand the reason.
The chief of staff shouted: "Souga! The China Army has innovated its tactics, so we have to mobilize anti-artillery to deal with the China Army!"
The commander of the Isotani Division shouted in a low voice: "Yo Xi! Combat anti-aircraft artillery must be used. Now order the 32nd Regiment to stay where it is, and at the same time order the combat anti-artillery squadron to reinforce the battle at the north gate of Taierzhuang!"
In actual battles, machine gun fire from house fortifications is definitely the number one enemy of infantry.
But this nemesis also has a natural enemy, which is direct fire.
As long as the anti-war artillery is aimed at the firepower point and blasts fiercely, the infantry in street fighting will be able to reduce a lot of trouble!
