The first thousand two hundred and twenty-nine chapters capture the railway station
It is precisely for these reasons that the government forces will build layers of barricades on nearby streets, especially Princess Street, which is the main road, hoping to stop the enemy's attack. However, after the Golden Dragon Legion added tanks and artillery, the government became less and less combat-free. A large number of soldiers were killed and the weapons and ammunition were lost heavily. Now the government forces are forced to shrink into the building, hoping to stop the enemy's advance with the complex terrain.
The Japanese soldiers were very good at fighting in the narrow space. After surrounding the government building, the Japanese soldiers rushed up with bayonet rifles and howled. The Japanese soldiers led by the Japanese kicked open the door and shot two bullets out of it. The Japanese soldiers who were hit by the vital points fell down. The Japanese soldiers behind screamed and threw a smoke-prone grenade in.
With a loud bang, the two soldiers in the room were killed. The Japanese soldiers knew that there were ambushes in each room, so they no longer dared to be careless. After opening one by one, they threw grenades directly into the room. The Japanese soldiers cleaned the rooms one by one by one by one by one by one.
The government soldiers had no choice but to resist in vain with the rifles in their hands, or use anti-tank grenades directly in the corridor, and die with the Japanese soldiers. The government soldiers were obviously very brave, and the two sides started a desperate battle.
In the end, the Japanese soldiers seized the Ministry of National Defense Building at a great cost, and their losses reached more than 400 people. The government army even suffered 1,600 soldiers. The walls inside the building were already darkened by grenades in such a battle, looking like they had been burned by fire.
After seizing the Ministry of Defense building, the Japanese army's advantages became obvious. As mountain cannons were pulled up to the roof, barricades within a radius of ten kilometers were all within the range of artillery attacks, and even the Republic Palace, where the Red-Clothed Government was located, was no exception.
Seeing that the opponent's artillery threatened too much, the government army immediately organized a counterattack. Many soldiers carried rifles and launched a charge on the street, trying to take back the Ministry of Defense Building by taking advantage of the number of people. The Japanese soldiers were unmoved at all. They used the barricades they seized to block the enemy's counterattack. At the intensive firing rate of 1,400 rounds per minute by Type 26 general machine gun, all infantry charges became clouds. The government army suffered heavy casualties, but they still could not retake the Ministry of Defense Building. At this time, the battle in the direction of the railway station had begun.
The First Division of the Japanese Army was controlled by Liangbi himself. He led the army to move along the railway. Because of the broad vision, the role of tanks and guns was fully utilized, so the government soldiers along the way had no chance to get close. At this time, there were no trains on the railway for transportation, and the tanks simply advanced along the railway and slowly advanced towards the railway station.
Behind the tank troops, there were large groups of people hunching their necks and lowering their heads and looking around. At this time, the short Japanese soldiers had a place to use their skills and also hid behind the tanks. However, the Japanese soldiers were short and could be hit by the enemy even more easily. They were flexible, but they could use the weapons in their hands to quickly launch a counterattack against the enemy.
The desperate fighting methods of these Japanese soldiers made the government army frightened, and they didn't know how to deal with them. The railway station was already far away, but there were a large number of piles of objects on the railway tracks, which were temporary defensive positions established by the defenders.
Seeing a large number of tanks in the distance, the defenders suddenly fired thousands of cannons, and artillery of various calibers began to be launched one after another. The guards of the station were regular troops of the government army. Although they were also second-line troops at the time, they had learned to fire artillery after all, so they were given high hopes.
The shells of howitzers and mountain cannons fell nearby, and the explosion was dusty everywhere. The Golden Dragon Legion stopped advancing. "Order the artillery." Liangbi ordered, the artillery regiment of the Japanese military division opened artillery positions beside the railway behind. Soon the shells of the 105 mm howitzer covered a large area of the station. The Hualan Army had no intention of receiving the station intact, and did not feel sorry for the great losses. As a result, the Japanese artillery baptized the area near the station as if bombarded in the field. The small-caliber government guns were immediately plagued by catastrophe. The dense shells also blew up several trains. They were trains used to transport supplies, and there was also a full of food and ammunition in the carriage, and they were all destroyed.
The government troops were so angry that they cursed, but they had no choice but to attack the Japanese army's artillery, because they had no large-caliber artillery to use. If the range was not enough, they could only be beaten passively, but the Japanese soldiers seemed to have lost their ambition and did not move forward at all, but just fired shells with no life.
Explosions were heard one after another, and the roof of the waiting hall of the station was passed through the shells one after another, hitting like a sieve. The explosion blew the wooden chairs in the hall, and the wood and stones were spread all over the ground, and the ground was more than half a meter low. The soldiers of the government had to curl up in the corner, silently ending the shelling, and praying that the shelling would end soon.
It seemed that when the soldiers were praying, the sound of cannons finally stopped. Then the tank started moving again and slowly moved towards the station. While walking, they also used tank guns to hit the piles of objects on the rails of the opponent. The government soldiers thought that the opportunity had come, so they rushed up with rifles, but were fired by tank coaxial machine gunners and Japanese machine gunners, and a large number of them were killed and injured.
The Japanese soldiers rushed out from behind the tank with rifles and rushed straight to the position and waiting hall in front of the station. The Type 16 semi-automatic rifle in their hands was shot with a ping-pong shot, which made the government troops unable to withstand it and immediately fled.
After the station was conquered, the Republic of China was attacked on both sides. The government forces were forced to give up their intention to retake the Ministry of Defense Building to retreat to the Republic of China, and the government agencies had turned to the city center again. Under the cover of artillery troops at the top of the Ministry of Defense Building, the Japanese soldiers unscrupulously attacked the various government strongholds, and the occupied areas were rapidly expanded.
The two Japanese military advisors on the other side were also not vague. They quickly occupied the entire Prosperida area and besieged the government troops defending Berlin Park. Because this direction was not the focus of government troops' defense, the number of troops was not large, which even accelerated the Japanese army's offensive speed a lot.
With the cover of the Hualan Tank Division, the Japanese soldiers boldly launched interspersed attacks, and soon wiped out two battalions of government troops that were defending in the Berlin Park. Then the two divisions attacked, attacking the Sacred Heart Church one by one, and besieging the Argentine Square the other.
