Calcutta's Northern Line. Zhou Youfu's offensive was about to begin, and the troops had not yet comprehended this new set of tactics, and Zhou Youfu himself was also half-understood, so it seemed that he could only explore it in actual combat. He didn't dare to try new tactics on several streets at the same time, so he chose a relatively wide and relatively isolated street to attack. First ordered to push the light * artillery behind the troops, ready to aim directly at reinforcements at any time.

At the beginning in Zhabei, when the Japanese army pushed back from north to south, it was also from this way that the artillery hit, razing a large number of blocks to the ground, he had learned the power, but the building fell, but it would become a bunker for the defensive troops, and it was also an obstacle to the attacking troops.

Before dawn, a bulldozer rumbled towards its target. The front of the bulldozer was covered with a 10 mm steel plate covering the driver's seat, in front of which sandbags were piled up, and only one observation hole was exposed in the cab.

Behind the driver's seat, an armored 360° range of machine gun mounts was added, and a 12.7 mm machine gun was installed, which gave the bulldozer a high level of firepower.

The bulldozer shovel fell to the ground and began to push the rubble away from the ground, and by the way, it also shoveled away the Type 93 anti-tank vehicle* that the Japanese army had risked burying here at night.

After a while, a second bulldozer followed, pushing the road in front of it a little more to the left and right. When the two engineering vehicles started, the infantry behind them were all hidden behind the tanks that were holding down the position.

They were making a noise all the way to the civil barriers made by the Japanese, and at the same time, the Japanese commander hid 100 meters away to observe, it was still early and he couldn't see anything coming. The silhouette and movement are all tanks, but they just can't come up, and I don't hear the pressure *. It's so weird.

"What is the enemy grinding at? Is it not enough power to climb the rubble pile? ”

Whatever the situation, he was completely prepared, because anti-tank guns and machine guns had been deployed in several places with good firing ranges, and he could see as soon as the tanks climbed up the rubble, and at that time the weak chassis armor would inevitably be exposed, and that would be the best time to shoot, and at the same time cross fire on all sides to wipe out all the enemy infantry. The abacus is a good one.

But the enemy tank did not climb up the ruins for a long time, only a rumbling sound was heard, and the commander could not hold back his curiosity to fire a flare, and when he fell, he saw two tightly packed monsters wrapped in sandbags and steel plates moving slowly in the bright light, and they did not climb the ruins at all, but wanted to push the ruins away, in fact, quite a lot. He inevitably panicked and quickly gave the order to open fire. The anti-tank guns at several vantage points began to shoot at the top of the bulldozer, and the bulldozer stopped clearing obstacles, raised the bulldozer shovel high, and acted as a shield in front of the cab, and the bullets fired by the 20-mm anti-tank gun could not penetrate at all.

The machine gunner on the bulldozer clearly saw where the enemy anti-tank gun was fired, and immediately fired with tracer bullets, and the Japanese could not raise their heads in the broken house, of course, it was not over. The 105* gun, which was 1 km away, was immediately aimed at the place where the tracer bullet was fired, without precise aiming, and a cannon cover passed. Immediately blow up a corner of the building. Several consecutive shots wiped out the anti-tank gun group and several machine guns, and the frontal Japanese fire did not dare to counterattack. After a while, after confirming that the enemy was stunned, the bulldozer lowered the bulldozer blade and continued its previous work. The enemy commander who watched was stunned.

Of course, the Japanese army will not give up easily, and the commander realized that the heavy fire behind the enemy is too strong for the anti-tank guns to fight, but there are still several small detachments with * and *, hiding in the streets on both sides, and the buildings on both sides are not easy to be hit by the heavy fire in the rear.

At this time, the two Stewart tanks each occupied one street corner, not in front, so that the artillery elevation angle could not cover the closer buildings, and their task was either to assault or to cover.

The soldiers armed with * and ice guns were divided into two columns and marched against the streets on both sides, and they followed Zhou Youfu's prior deployment, each monitoring the window of the upper floor opposite, regardless of their own heads.

The Japanese team hid on the second floor and began to distribute*, preparing to attack those two damned bulldozers. When they lit it*, they didn't expect it to make the darkness glow. At the end of the street, the tanks immediately noticed that there was a light coming from a window in front of them, and artillery shells and machine-gun shells were firing at a row of windows.

Inside, the Japanese soldiers were about to drop bombs, but they were knocked down by a single piece, *fell under their feet, and set a room on fire at once*. They had no experience in street fighting, and a large number of flammable materials were piled up in the houses along the street, thinking that they would be easy to access, and all of them were set on fire at once. A fireball suddenly burst out from the second floor of the house on one side, and the burning soldiers rolled down, and then the fire spread rapidly. The Japanese soldiers in the opposite window poked their heads and looked downward, which immediately attracted the strafing fire of the soldiers on the street who had been prepared for a long time, and the Japanese soldiers who hit them could not raise their heads. At the same time, another team rushed into the building, engaged the enemy in close quarters, and drove the hidden enemy away, but did not pursue the enemy from the corridor that the enemy had already opened, and they kept pace with the infantry in the streets, so as not to cause accidental injuries in the confusion.

Zhou Youfu soon found that this method worked, although the advance was very slow, but the casualties were very low. Essentially, it's about squeezing the enemy out little by little. He deployed machine guns at the intersection of the street and reserved a half-track nearby for support. According to Chu Tingchang, once the entire street is occupied, the enemy in the building will flee to the street, and this is the time to destroy the enemy.

Sure enough, when the bulldozer was halfway through the street, the enemy inside the dilapidated building began to move elsewhere, and was immediately killed by crossfire. Artillery from behind fired at every suspicious building. Many good end of the ambush, the enemy group that had not fired a single shot was killed like this, just because Zhou Youfu had a lot of shells today.

In the headquarters, Chu Tingchang looked at the city defense map of Calcutta with his hands behind his back, Zhou Youfu had already entered the city from the north, but he had been concerned about the outcome of the Volga battlefield in his heart, and he was more concerned about Calcutta. He knew that Calcutta was in a stalemate, and that he could not get up quickly, and the enemy could not turn the sky. According to the intelligence of 419, the besieged German army had no possibility of breaking through, and two days earlier, the nearest Imperial division, which was at one point 10 kilometers away from the trapped enemy army, seemed to have great hope, but then was repulsed by Vasilevsky's reserve forces to 60 kilometers away, and itself suffered heavy losses. At present, the besieged troops only left a runway to keep in touch with the outside, but the Soviet army blocked the direction of approach with anti-aircraft guns, and the planes could not land, so they could only be airdropped. In the morning, the Soviets had already sent representatives to contact General Hort in the encirclement, and what Hitler could do was to promote Hote to field marshal and drop the marshal's scepter.

"You're going to have to hold on. Two more days. Master Chu said to himself.

"What's going on for two more days?" On the side, Zhao Xiaoli asked without knowing each other, he thought that this place seemed to be all attacking, and there was nowhere to defend.

"What's going on with Zhou Youfu?"

"Another block. Killed the enemy a gendarmerie lieutenant. ”

"How far is it from the Doge's Palace?"

"Far away, four blocks away, I don't think I can take it in three days."

"Well, don't think about time, just the smallest casualties. By the way, how is Sun Liren's progress there? ”

"According to your intentions, he began to outflank the southern flank of Chittagong without directly attacking the city. He didn't dare to steal the limelight from us. ”

"If you know your mistakes, you can change them, and you can be good, Master Sun can be regarded as a material that can be made."

"Master, Commander Zhou has been there to support. We're a lot less hostile here. Zhao Xiaoli said.

"Send the newly arrived infantry battalion and the Sherman tank company that is sure to win, and let Lao Zhou write a guarantee first, not a single one can be lost."

"There is another thing, the British called and asked to reserve a position to the west, saying that they were to attack."

"Tell them that as long as I want the Governor's Palace, I can give it to them anywhere else." Chu Tingchang sneered, he knew the ghost name of Vivier.

In the Governor's Palace of Calcutta, Bai Qi could already see the explosions and gunsmoke in front of him from the balcony of Vivel, he had thought that every block would become a meat grinder, and soon the enemy's forces would be consumed, so that they would be forced to stop, but now it seemed that it was simple. The enemy's mechanization was not only tanks, but also equipment for demolishing houses. He has always boasted of being resourceful, and he has a good reputation in the army, and is known as the king of crooked ideas, but he didn't expect that the enemies here are more crooked than him everywhere, how can this be good? There were many telegrams from the headquarters of Sittwe in the morning, but they were vague about the reinforcements, and only one thing was clear, that is, in the worst case, a submarine would be sent to pick up the Manchurian emperor. Obviously, in the calculation of the base camp, Pu Jie is the only person who cannot be sacrificed in this dangerous city, of course, everyone knows that Pu Yi has no heirs, so if Pu Jie can give birth to mixed-race offspring, it will be very beneficial for Japan to completely control Manchuria, so in Japan's view, Pu Jie's greatest value lies in reproduction.

At noon, Zhou Youfu had gradually figured out this set of tactics, and saw that the enemy's biggest weakness was the lack of soldiers. Seeing the weakness, he must not show mercy, he dispatched all the armored bulldozers and launched an attack on the adjacent street at the same time, and sure enough, the enemy began to lose sight of the other. At the cost of destroying two bulldozers, he captured a large area. The enemy is completely powerless.

The British planes rushed to join in the fun and bombed the vicinity of the Bank of Calcutta, and it was obvious that Vivier was most worried that Chief Chu would arrive there early, and how did he know that Master Chu would never come near that place, lest he not be able to make it clear.

Tokyo, residence of Minister of Commerce and Industry Nobusuke Kishi.

The night meeting lasted until the early hours of the morning, and most of the people had already left, leaving only Kage Sazhen Showa and Ishihara Waner and Makino behind, and the three of them had breakfast and began to deduce the next situation.

As for the fact that there was a submarine that crossed with Spring Evening, the three of them generally agreed, at least from the perspective of anticipating the enemy's leniency, assuming that she existed, as for the others, they were still in the clouds.

They must now confront how to deal with such a major enemy if it does exist.

"Shadow Zuo-kun, in terms of intelligence, you are still resourceful, is there a way?" Ishihara asked, sipping tea.

"As I said yesterday, the breakthrough is in this Chu Tingchang, if you can capture him alive."

"How unrealistic this is." Ishihara crossed Jiro's legs.
