Chapter 616: Thwarting the Reinforcements

There are gunshots everywhere in Jingcheng City, and the soldiers use the house as a cover to make a final fight with the little devils, this is their last line of defense, there is no way back, what they have to do in the end is to hold their positions.

The Japanese army that attacked the city was also dizzy by the Chinese soldiers, Jingcheng City is a small county town, there are only two main roads in the city, and the rest of the roads are small roads that are longitudinal and horizontal.

After a two-hour forced attack, the Japanese retreated in disgrace, not even figuring out how many Chinese troops were still in the city. In the narrow alley, the weapon advantage of the little devils was completely lost, and on the contrary, the submachine guns equipped by the new 33rd Army caused a lot of casualties to the little devils.

In this era, street fighting is the world of submachine guns and *, as long as the troops are crowded in a small alley and concentrate their firepower to fight hard, the little devils have no chance to resist.

In particular, the little devil wanted to take down the houses defended by the Chinese soldiers with the advantage of numbers, but after an attack, he found that the number of people was not an advantage, on the contrary, many soldiers died in vain.

The commander of the little devil quickly formulated a second set of combat plans based on the retreating soldiers, that is, to clear the rooms of Jing Cheng in small groups.

However, the commander of the little devil ignored the battle of the new 33rd Army, most of the Chinese soldiers in Jingcheng City were veterans, and the overall combat quality was already higher than that of the little devil, and after such a long time of individual training, the combat effectiveness of the individual soldier was also overwhelming the little devil, otherwise when the city wall was gapped, how could a Chinese soldier dare to face four little devils.

Of course, when the Japanese divided into small groups to attack the houses defended by the Chinese soldiers in the city of Jingcheng, they found it even more difficult to move an inch than during the first attack.

Especially the marksmanship of the Chinese soldiers, an accurate marksman, lurking in the ruins, and when the little devil moves forward, the sharpshooter alone can completely block the attack of more than 20 little devils.

The Japanese had to release a large number of *, covering troops to approach the houses defended by Chinese soldiers, and then greeted them with * thrown by Chinese soldiers.

The sound of explosions one after another, mixed with the screams of this little devil. The Japanese rifles did not make the slightest advance against the submachine guns in the hands of the Chinese soldiers.

Although a squad or platoon of the middle soldiers has lost contact with their superiors, they have no intention of retreating, and one squad can hold a very large courtyard, and if the little devils do not blow up the entire courtyard into ruins, they will not be able to take a step forward at all.

"Go back and tell Your Excellency the Commander that we need grenadiers!"

The squad leader of a little devil could no longer stand watching his soldiers being slaughtered, so he wanted to cover the courtyard defended by the Chinese soldiers with grenadiers and then attack.

The grenadiers of the little devils were very commonly equipped, and soon more than a dozen grenadiers were delivered to the hands of the little devils.

"Boom Boom"

* accurately fell into the yard, but the Chinese soldiers all hid in the house at this time, relying on the load-bearing wall of the house to avoid the damage of the little devil*. The captain of the little devil's squad seemed to feel that it was not fun to use *, and under the cover of the grenadier, he also sent soldiers close to the yard and threw * into the yard.

The house was in shambles, and it was blown up by the little devils, but in the face of heavy artillery fire, the Chinese soldiers did not retreat in the slightest, because they had no way back.

The Chinese soldiers in Jingcheng City are fighting with the little devils for every inch of land, and they will not give up every inch of land unless they die. In the same way, the Japanese army paid the price of blood for every step forward.

Every inch of land in Jingcheng City was stained with blood, and the battle was so fierce that he didn't want to go up and down when he protected the Taihang Mountain station.

The Japanese commander had never seen such a tragic battle, especially their casualty rate, Jingcheng City was now like a bottomless pit, and how many troops were sent into it were turned into dead bodies.

Even if the battle was so fierce, the commander of the little devil had to throw his troops into Jingcheng City, because there were only two ways in front of him, either to take Jingcheng or to retreat......

Obviously, the commander of the little devil didn't want to retreat, so he could only continuously put the forces in his hands into the huge meat grinder of Jingcheng City.

Under the cover of artillery fire, the soldiers of the mine protection team launched four attacks on Cangzhou City within an hour, although the battle was not as tragic as in Jingcheng City, but the mine protection team relied on their own bravery, and the little devils were defeated and retreated.

In the end, the Japanese army defending the city had to abandon Cangzhou and retreat to the surrounding counties, and the mine protection team successfully took Cangzhou.

After taking Cangzhou, Shen Zhengwen did not let the soldiers rest, and after replenishing ammunition and food, they evacuated Cangzhou an hour after occupying Cangzhou.

Of course, the Japanese army would not have thought that this army would evacuate Cangzhou so easily, and they knew that this would be the case, so they would find a stronghold outside the city and wait, and then wait for Shen Zhengwen to leave, and then they would come back.

The Japanese commander did not expect Cangzhou to fall in such a short period of time, but this was also expected, after all, he drew a large number of troops from Cangzhou, and the puppet army defending the city resisted them, resulting in Cangzhou being broken so quickly.

However, the little devils' reinforcements were tired, they abandoned their cars and armored troops, and ran to Cangzhou to support, which was more than 200 miles in between. It took thirteen hours for the vanguard of the mine protection team to rush to Cangzhou from the vicinity of Gaoyang County. Now the Japanese army is marching at full speed, but it has only taken a quarter of the road.

It is said that Cangzhou has fallen, and there is no point in supporting Cangzhou anymore, but their commander has given a death order to find this Chinese army and destroy them. The Japanese army had to continue to rush to Cangzhou with one foot deep and one foot shallow.

Until the sun set, the Japanese army was still more than 40 miles away from Cangzhou, and the Japanese army was exhausted.

However, one unit has been waiting for the Japanese army for a long time, and after the mine protection team evacuated Cangzhou, by carrying the arsenal of the little devils, not only the ammunition has been replenished, but even the weapons in their hands have been replaced, especially the mortars have increased to more than 40.

With such good weapons and equipment, Shen Zhengwen felt that he couldn't let the troops be idle, and finally became a landlord for a while, and he wanted to spoil these weapons.

First, it can teach the little devils a lesson, second, it can reduce the burden of the soldiers' march, and third, the soldiers can take the opportunity to rest and recover the physical strength consumed last night.

So Shen Zhengwen ordered to dig trenches forty miles east of Cangzhou, waiting for the little devil's reinforcements to arrive.

Shen Zhengwen couldn't determine whether the little devil's reinforcements would come to support Cangzhou, after all, Cangzhou had fallen, and supporting Cangzhou had lost its value. So Shen Zhengwen comforted himself and let the troops rest.

Although Shen Zhengwen was comforting himself, he was very impatient in his heart, now that the war in the Jingcheng area was urgent, the time had been delayed. If you don't completely hurt the little devil, the little devil will definitely not withdraw from the Jingcheng area.

So while Shen Zhengwen let the soldiers rest, he also constantly sent scouts to reconnoiter the movements of the little devils.

When the scouts came with the news that a unit of the Japanese army was less than two miles away from them, Shen Zhengwen grinned happily. He had never been happier because he had won the bet.

The soldiers have almost rested, but the little devil is tired and waiting for work, and there are so many weapons and equipment, Shen Zhengwen is very confident that the victory in this battle must belong to their mine protection team.

The sister-in-law commander who led the team seemed to have been short-circuited by his tired brain, and he led the troops into the ambush circle set up by Shen Zhengwen without looking back.

"Hahaha, hit, hahaha, give me a hard hello, you don't need to save the shells, the little devil will fight there if there are many people!"

Shen Zhengwen gave the order with a smile, he had never felt so excited, just like the excitement of a child's New Year.

The rumbling sound of the cannon made the exhausted little devils suddenly refreshed, and they realized that they had been ambushed, and immediately organized troops to fight back. But in the dark night they could not find the direction of the Chinese soldiers, and the heavy artillery fire smashed them into a daze.

The shells fell as if they didn't want money, and more than 40 mortars formed a group of artillery, and they suffered wherever they went.

The moment the commander of the little devil reacted, he gave the order to break through backwards. Obviously, Shen Zhengwen also knew that it would be a terrible price to eat the Japanese reinforcements with the troops in their hands alone, but Shen Zhengwen didn't plan to let the little devil go like this.

Now that the Japanese reinforcements have become frightened birds, and the mine guards have rested during the day, such a good opportunity should take advantage of the victory to pursue and beat the water dogs.

"Rush!"

When the Japanese army was still fleeing, Shen Zhengwen gave the order to pursue, and the soldiers of the mine protection team did not give the little devil a chance to breathe, and chasing the little devil's ass was a fierce beating.

After chasing out for more than ten miles, Shen Zhengwen gave the order to stop the pursuit, let the troops gather, and then march to the next target.

After receiving the news, the commander of the little devil couldn't believe that their reinforcements, which were three times larger than the Chinese army, would be so vulnerable, so that the Chinese soldiers were stunned and chased after more than a dozen roads.

The little devil reinforcements lost their troops, and when they were finally counted, more than half of them were killed or wounded. It's not that the little devils have poor combat effectiveness, but that the Japanese army has become frightened birds, and they only care about escaping along the way, not paying attention to how many enemies there are behind them, and no one is fighting back. In this way, the soldiers of the mine protection team are even more unscrupulous, and of course they have to kill the little devils.

The Japanese reinforcements suffered such a big setback that their morale was so low that they no longer had the ability to compete with the mine protection team. With the failure of the Japanese reinforcements, the mine protection team also lost a strong enemy behind the enemy, and now the mine protection team is like Sun Wukong in the belly of the iron fan princess, tossing as much as he wants.
