From the binoculars, Liu Yang observed the firepower of the Japanese army. The Japanese army really deserved to be elite. Even in the face of such powerful firepower, the Japanese army counterattacked very tenaciously. It is a pity that Liu Yang did not arrange for the 19th Division to launch an attack.
Yan Biao's artillery bombarded non-stop, at least for a short period of time, the Japanese artillery could not counterattack, buying time for the tank troops.
In addition to suppressing the firepower of the operator's machine gun, the tank rushed towards the four bunkers with full horsepower. Before the Japanese artillery could react, it finally reached the bunkers and directly smashed them into the shooting holes of the bunkers with the gun barrel, causing the Japanese soldiers inside to be involuntary. Chaos, did not expect the Chinese army to have such a powerful firepower.
With a bang, the shell smashed into the bunker, paralyzing the bunker immediately. Without these obstacles, under the cover of tanks and armored vehicles, the 19th Division blew the charge horn and slowly began to press forward.
More than 20 tanks concentrated their firepower to bombard the city gate. Even though the strong city gate could not resist the bombardment of artillery fire, after wasting a lot of shells, a hole was finally opened in the city gate, which could accommodate the people of the 19th Division. rush in.
Three tanks kept shooting at the hole in the city gate, so that the Japanese soldiers who came to support the city gate could not get through the city gate for a while, and the brothers of the 19th Division, after receiving the news that the city gate was opened, immediately The charge horn sounded, and the soldiers of the 19th Division rushed to the city gate quickly.
"Kill¡ª¡ª" Commander Li gave an order, and rushed towards the gate of the city first. With the cover of tanks and armored vehicles along the way, relying on the temporary positions built up, he approached the gate of the city without much casualties.
At this time, the gate of the city was in tatters, and when one looked over, one could see little devils scurrying around in the city, trying to rush to the gate and use sandbags and stones to block the attack of the soldiers of the national army. Everyone knew that once the city was broken, It was bound to be a brutal street battle. Even the Japanese army thought they were excellent in hand-to-hand combat, but they were afraid from the bottom of their hearts when facing an enemy several times their size.
Three hundred meters, two hundred meters, eighty meters, the brothers of the 19th Division have already rushed to the gate of the city, as long as they rush into the city, they can win.
But the commander of the Japanese army Masaaki Inagawa was not mediocre, and he knew that the enemy must not rush in. Otherwise, under the weak force, he would definitely lose. He yelled: "Tanks go block the city gate for me."
At this time, tanks going to the gate of the city will definitely die. Staying in the narrow gate, it is easy to become the target of the national army, but Masaaki Inagawa gave the order, and the Japanese army drove the tank up without hesitation, frantically. Using the machine gun to suppress the firepower, he rushed to the gate of the city with full horsepower.
There was no accident. The tank rushed to the gate of the city, and was blasted into scrap iron by the tanks of the Tiger Battalion. In this kind of terrain, the tank could not dodge, but could only charge towards the shells. It was a suicide charge.
However, the Japanese army did not give up just because a tank was destroyed. Instead, tanks bypassed this tank one after another and rushed straight into the city gate. Even if they did not block the city gate, they still created obstacles. Relying on these scrapped tanks, they finally rushed up. The engineers carried sandbags, used the tanks to establish a position in a short time, and began to block the city gate.
The soldiers of the 19th Division finally rushed to the gate of the city, but the Japanese army's position was also established. From the hole that was blown out, the soldiers of the 19th Division rushed in without hesitation, and rushed in against the hail of bullets. , but just rushed into it, and was knocked to the ground by Japanese bullets head-on.
Death can't scare the soldiers of the national army. Even if the people in front keep falling down, the brothers behind still rush in desperately and follow up.
Liu Yang noticed this, if he couldn't rush into the city as soon as possible, and waited for the little devil to recover, he would have to pay several times the casualties to get in. With a change of mind, Liu Yang also went all out, and directly ordered the tanks of the Tiger Battalion Rush in, rush in through the blasted hole, and serve as a shield for the brothers of the 19th Division.
The reason is the same, the tanks rushing into the city gate are also going to die, but they become the bunkers for the soldiers. Although the Japanese army did not organize anti-aircraft guns in a short time, there are still many ways to blow up the tanks. The most direct way Just use explosives.
Sure enough, just as the tank rushed into the city gate, there was a bang, and the tank lay down on the ground. The soldiers inside did not know whether they were alive or dead, but the machine gunner was already lying on the tank and did not move.
However, this tank successfully blocked the Japanese army's blockade and created an opportunity for the soldiers of the national army. Some brothers rushed in with sandbags on their heads, barely established a machine gun position, and then a Czech tank crazily spit out flames.
"Send the gasoline up and burn it for me¡ª" Masaki Inagawa had an incomparably ferocious face.
The Japanese army rolled the gasoline barrels towards the city gate. As long as the gasoline barrels could be thrown into the city gate hole, it would turn into a sea of ??flames, and the national army would not be able to rush in. At that time, the Japanese army could reorganize people to block the city gate.
Besides, after the brief chaos of the Japanese army, the remaining artillerymen finally adjusted their positions, and then began to fire outside the city gate, instead of confronting the artillerymen of the national army.
A large number of brothers from the 19th Division stayed at the gate of the city, forming a crowd for a while, unable to rush into the city, the Japanese soldiers who were slowed down fired shots from the city wall, or threw grenades into the crowd, and it exploded. There was a lot of casualties.
The brothers of the national army did not show any weakness, and threw smoking grenades from under the city wall towards the city head one after another, and the two sides fell into a frenzy.
Seeing that he was blocked at the gate of the city, it would be detrimental to his own side if he continued like this. Chief Li of the 19th Division gritted his teeth, and then ordered the soldiers to form a death squad. Then, in a short distance of twenty meters, hundreds of corpses were left behind, and the death squad rushed to the front of the Japanese army's position and detonated the explosives with a bang.
Although the dynamite package failed to wipe out the Japanese army, it did blow up the Japanese army's heavy firepower, and the Japanese army's firepower was stagnated. Taking this opportunity, the brothers of the 19th Division rushed to the Japanese army amidst the shouts. On the battlefield, they fought with the Japanese army.
Following the penetration of the Japanese position, a large number of soldiers of the 19th Army rushed in. At this point, the south gate of Liyang City was broken, and the tragic hand-to-hand combat began.
After all, the little devil burned the city gate before it could be realized. A large number of sandbags and other objects were piled up not far from the city gate, and the gasoline barrels had already been pushed outside the Japanese positions. If it was later, the city gate would turn into a raging fire, blocking the The way of the national army's charge.
The national army crowded together at the gate of the city slowly decreased. A large number of soldiers poured into the city, tore through the Japanese defense line, rushed to the top of the city, rushed to the end of the alley, and launched the most brutal fight with the Japanese army.
In the narrow alley, the two sides kept shooting at each other, relying on human lives to keep advancing, and once they came into contact, they waved bayonets and bumped into each other.
Inagawa Masakichi's eyes were red, and he saw the fall of the south gate through the binoculars, and realized that he was about to reach the end, but his scruples were broken, and he immediately ordered all the imprisoned imperial soldiers to be released. A scum and artificially caused the loss of troops.
The released Japanese troops were soon put into battle. The two sides fought each other inch by inch with the South Gate as the center. The whole city was submerged in the sound of killing, every inch of the street was stained red with blood, and the corpses were covered all Every alley.
In order to gain time, Inagawa Masakichi did not order to break out of the encirclement. Instead, he put all his hopes on the Takeuchi Regiment who came to reinforce them. He ordered all the Japanese troops guarding the other three gates to gather together, and continued to establish positions in the streets and alleys. The Ninth Division seesawed a little bit.
The war is cruel, Liyang City was lit by fire, and many innocent people were involved in the war.
Maybe it was because of hope, or maybe it was because of despair. In short, when the war was at its most intense, the common people who had been bullied by the Japanese army finally broke out. In the beginning, dozens of people under Liu Yang's spy organization attacked the Japanese army with big knives. Soon the shouts attracted more ordinary people, who did not know how many hundreds of thousands of ordinary people, holding dung forks, wooden sticks, and even kitchen knives to attack the Japanese army in the alleys.
With the joining of the common people, it was really pushed to a fever pitch. The soldiers of the national army attacked more fiercely and faster. From time to time, soldiers of the national army rushed in and were completely strangled with the Japanese army. The whole city was boiling.
Before Liyang fell completely, Inagawa Masakichi's headquarters was breached by a mixed army of the national army and ordinary people, and entered the headquarters. Surprised and angry, he led dozens of guards and fought with the national army like crazy, but was finally stabbed to death by a national army soldier under a plane tree.
Without the command of Masaaki Inagawa in the middle, the Japanese army was completely in chaos, unable to get rid of the charge of the national army, and was completely divided into small teams in the north.
This fierce street battle lasted from 10:40 p.m. to the early morning of the next day, and there were still many small groups of Japanese troops that had not been completely wiped out.
Facing the rising sun of the next day, Chief Li of the 19th Division personally planted the Qingtian Baisun flag on the head of Liyang City, announcing that Liyang had been liberated. Occasionally there were gunshots, and those Japanese soldiers hiding in the dark stubbornly refused to surrender.
In this battle, the 19th Division killed and injured more than 3,000 people, wiped out more than 3,600 Japanese troops, and had no prisoners. The Tiger Battalion killed and wounded 76 people and lost four tanks. Finally, the battle for Liyang was completed, and the strategic Liyang, the important place, is in my hand.
