The positions on the outskirts of Tonghua changed hands frequently, and both sides knew that if anyone gave up at this time, it would mean the loss of tens of thousands of troops in vain.

The Japanese army is constantly sending more troops to Tonghua, and Hu Guoshan is also constantly sending more troops to Tonghua! In just a few days, from the initial tens of thousands of troops fighting, to the end the combined strength of both sides exceeded 500,000.

The little devils also knew that once they gave up Tonghua, their hundreds of thousands of troops would face the situation of being slaughtered. Moreover, the commander of the little devils has already given them an order that if they withdraw from the position without authorization, both officers and soldiers will be executed.

If you die, you will die in Tonghua, and there is only one way for the little devils in Tonghua to go!

Although the Chinese soldiers had breached the city walls, the hardest battle was not on the walls of Tonghua, but on the inside of the city!

The Japanese army has been deployed in the city, and the Soviet-Russian church and the sturdy bank building in the city have become the positions of the Japanese army!

Every step forward had to be paid in blood, the Japanese had strong fortifications above their heads, while the Chinese soldiers had only Japanese bullets flying over their heads.

"It's a shame that a good European-style building was blown up like that!"

It is rare to see such European-style buildings in the north, especially such ordinary residential buildings! At the end of the Qing Dynasty, the Russians and the Japanese fought on the land of the Qing Dynasty, and many Russians once lived here, so it is not surprising that there are European-style buildings.

It's a pity that even the best buildings will be destroyed in this war!

"Other buildings can be kept, but this house in front of us must be blown up, relying on our soldiers to fight with their lives, it's too cruel!"

This building is the commanding height of several surrounding buildings, and if they want to capture the surrounding streets, they must first get this commanding height, otherwise the Japanese army's several machine guns on the commanding heights can completely suppress the soldiers' attack.

A commanding height can affect the entire battle situation, so after discussing with the battalion headquarters, it was decided to blow up this European-style building!

"Then blow it up, although these things are beautiful, they are no better than the lives of our soldiers! Contact the artillerymen, cover the points we marked on the map, and if someone from above is held accountable, I will bear it! ”

The battalion commander made the final decision, since the attack on Tonghua, their battalion has suffered more than half of the casualties, if it is not for the timely replenishment of troops, their entire battalion is likely to evacuate Tonghua and go to the rear to rest! But fortunately, the soldiers who were added in had undergone a year of rigorous training, which was much better than that of the previous soldiers.

So the battalion commander did not want his soldiers to take risks, the elite soldiers in the army were not used for such attrition in war.

Of course, the seizure of Tonghua is not just a commanding height, the streets in the city are complex, the houses are alternate, especially the houses in the old city have no order at all, even the commanders of the little devils do not know which houses have their people, let alone Chinese soldiers.

Every street, every house, the soldiers had to be carefully cleared and confirmed that it was safe before they could move forward!

The Japanese army was cunning and treacherous, sometimes disguised as corpses, and when the Chinese soldiers thought it was safe to relax their vigilance, the little devils suddenly tricked the corpses and killed the Chinese soldiers.

Chinese soldiers are not like little devils, they still retain a trace of humanity in this war, and the little devils have no humanity at all. But he suffered frequent losses on the battlefield, and he had to ask the commander to give an order to mend the corpses of the Japanese soldiers!

The war has destroyed most of the city, and it is no longer possible to see the original appearance of the city! The smoke of gunpowder replaces the smoke of cooking, and the worst thing is not the little devils, not the Chinese soldiers, or the people who live in this land honestly and do their duty.

War destroys homes, takes away lives, and leaves nothing but scorched earth!

"Even if it becomes a scorched earth, it is still a scorched earth in China!"

No one likes to have a bunch of brutes standing on the soil of their country doing nothing, not even those who are still living in the scorched earth.

Soldiers can sacrifice at any cost and dedicate their voice to the crippled country! So it should be with the people.

Now that their own army has arrived, even if they don't wave their flags and shout, they don't have to eat pot pulp, they just need to silently bless one less Chinese soldier in this war in their hearts.

Houses can be rebuilt if they fall, and the country is enslaved, and it really can't be turned over for the rest of its life.

"Boom Boom"

The artillery began to bombard the infantry at the good points marked on the map, and the sound of the artillery was the clarion call for battle!

"Brothers, get up, it's time to get to work, check your weapons, the useless things are still here, and when we're done clearing the street ahead, we'll rest!" The company commander urged the soldiers.

The soldiers on the battlefield are not solemn, and if it were not for the weapons in their hands and their tattered military uniforms, no one would consider them soldiers.

Money is not called money at the gambling table, and the same life is not called on the battlefield, one goes up and half a company comes back, who knows if you will get it back!

The gunfire in the city became more and more intense, and there was no artillery to be counted on in the battle in the city, and sometimes the enemy and us were separated by a house, and if the artillery was used, it was likely that they would be killed together.

"Regiment commander, our troops are already attacking the stronghold defended by the Japanese army in Chengnai, but if we want to sweep away the Japanese army in Chengnai, I'm afraid it will take a lot of time!"

As long as the Japanese army still controls a quarter of the city, the Japanese army still has room to move, and it can still rely on a quarter of the city to turn defeat into victory.

"The battle can't go on like this, if the Japanese troops on the periphery are still continuously reinforcing them, give the Japanese troops in the city hope to continue fighting!"

The reason why the Japanese army resisted so desperately was because there were reinforcements from outside the city that were constantly approaching, and as long as the guns outside the city continued, it proved that there were still troops to rescue them.

The Chinese army is different, they not only need Tonghua City, but also need to get in touch with Du Yuming's troops as soon as possible, if they delay too much time in Tonghua City, the most disadvantageous is not the troops around Tonghua City, but Du Yuming's troops who have been on both sides of the river.

"The head of the regiment should not report the situation, such a big problem is a strategic issue, and we can't call the shots!" The deputy head of the regiment suggested that the problem be escalated.

They and the Japanese army were amassing more and more troops in Tonghua, and this battle might not end so easily, which delayed them a lot.

Hu Guoshan is also always paying attention to the situation in Tonghua, obviously the battle on the front line is the same thing, the troops are advancing, if they encounter the resistance of the little devils, it will be good for them to attack.

And this battle in Tonghua was obviously more difficult than any battle Hu Guoshan and they fought in the northeast, of course, this was also because the Japanese commander did not care about the troops to fight like this, he wanted to carry out his own plan, not for their troops.

Hu Guoshan has not yet figured out the true thoughts of the Japanese army, and he doesn't know why the Japanese army is so crazy to increase troops in Tonghua!

But in order to achieve their own goals, Hu Guoshan had no choice but to follow the Japanese army to continuously increase troops to Tonghua! Hu Guoshan didn't know what their own purpose was, and the shorter the time, the better.

Now he has no choice, if he can't get through, there will be no ground support for the Airborne Forces! With the arrival of winter, the soldiers will have to wear single clothes to fight the little devils.

"What the hell are the Japanese army doing, aren't they afraid that there will be no troops to defend in front of us?"

Although the Japanese army was obviously superior to theirs, the Japanese defense was a comprehensive defense, and Hu Guoshan's attack could be chosen at any time and place.

If such a battle continues to be fought for two months, the Japanese army will not be as rich as it is now, and the Japanese army on the entire front line will collapse at the touch of a button.

According to common sense, it is impossible for the commander of the little devil to choose such a method of quickly depleting his own troops! If the choice is to die slowly, maybe they can come up with a way to detoxify, that is, to get out of the whole body!

Choosing this method of hastening his own death is exactly what Hu Guoshan wants! The little devil is not a philanthropist, and he will not find out with his conscience, how can he satisfy Hu Guoshan with his own life?

There must be a reason for everything, and the commanders of both armies are good at doing business! It's not their style to do this kind of loss-making business.

"Don't care what the commander of the little devil wants to do, we are decided! Since the little devils do not hesitate to suffer casualties, my Hu Guoshan's cannons are not vegetarians, since they are here to send them to death, I, Hu Guoshan, will accept them all! ”

Before getting in touch with Du Yuming, Hu Guoshan didn't have the heart to care about what the little devil wanted to do!

Even if the commander of the Japanese army sent all the Japanese troops in the northeast to Tonghua, Hu Guoshan would have to eat Tonghua, and he couldn't clean up a single Tonghua, so what could he talk about recovering the entire northeast and making the country stronger?

"Tell Changsheng that from today onwards, all transport planes will be used for the transportation of materials to the airborne troops, and as for the bombing mission, the bombing mission will be suspended, but the reconnaissance of the Japanese army cannot be stopped!"

Hu Guoshan was already thinking about what to do if Tonghua was not captured before the first heavy snowfall, not only their troops would have to go on the defensive, but even Du Yuming and they needed sufficient supplies in case the plane could not take off in bad weather.

Du Yuming's preparation time is two months, and the time that Hu Guoshan wants to prepare for them is until next spring! If the war drags on until next year, it means that many things will be delayed!

If there is no heavy snow, it is fine, but once it snows, their trucks and tanks will not be able to gallop on the battlefield, so Hu Guoshan has to take into account various weather conditions.

However, Hu Guoshan still did not relax his vigilance, because now they still have time to seize Tonghua, and Hu Guoshan's preparations are just in case!
