Liang Jian: Commander, save some for me

"It would be great if we could take those two howitzers away." Li Yunlong was very jealous. If the Eighth Route Army could also have such heavy artillery, it would have greater deterrent power in the future.

"What are you thinking about? Those two cannons are too heavy. It's impossible to transport them. There's no time to dismantle them." Zhao Gang said helplessly.

If there was a chance, he would naturally hope to seize such a powerful heavy artillery. After all, it was said that the entire national army only had dozens of heavy artillery of this level.

"Yes, it seems that we can only blow up these two cannons!" Li Yunlong nodded.

Their main purpose was actually to attract the devils from the 16th Division and create an opportunity for Li Jin to attack Nakajima Imao.

At that time, if Li Jin succeeds, they will need to retreat immediately.

Although Li Jin ordered some soldiers of the 16th Division to return for defense when attacking Nakajima Imao, they were still unable to resist the Japanese who came to support them.

As for the 20th Division, it is impossible to kill them, but it is still possible to inflict heavy losses on the 20th Division.

"Captain, sometimes I wonder, is it worth it to go through so much trouble to attack that devil's division commander?!

We obviously have a greater chance of annihilating more devils." Monk Wei couldn't help but say.

If their target is the 20th Division, I believe that even if they cannot completely annihilate it, they will certainly be able to destroy it. Wouldn't this kill more devils and expand the results of the battle?

"Monk, if we speak normally, this is indeed correct, but Nakajima Imao is indeed a beast. Even if we don't expand the results of the battle, we must get rid of this murderer!" Li Yunlong said with a serious face.

Rather than expanding the results of the war, he wanted to eliminate the murderers of the massacre. Only in this way could the civilians who died rest in peace.

There are many more murderers of the massacre. If I have the chance to meet them in the future, I must not let any of them go!

"Yeah, that's true." Monk Wei nodded when he heard that.

.........

Time passed minute by minute, and soon it was around 11:50 in the evening.

Outside the floating city, in the devil’s camp.

The Japanese regiment commander was in the tent, not sleeping, but waiting.

"Other commanders, are you ready?!" the Japanese regiment commander asked the Japanese lieutenant colonel next to him.

The timing of the attack must be unified. Otherwise, if one side attacks while other directions delay time, the enemy will have a chance to react.

"Don't worry, Captain. I have just reminded them again and I guarantee there will be no mistakes." The Japanese lieutenant colonel said hurriedly.

"Tsk, my eyelids are twitching. Why don't we cancel the attack? What if the enemy is prepared?!" The Japanese regiment commander frowned, feeling that he shouldn't attack.

"Captain, you are worrying too much. The enemy is already very tired after a day of fighting. They will not be too prepared.

As long as we launch an attack tonight, we will surely succeed. Besides, we have made a plan. Even if the enemy is prepared, we still have assault troops to blow up the enemy's bunkers.

We can capture the floating city tomorrow!" The Japanese lieutenant colonel persuaded him, thinking that tonight was a good opportunity.

"Then there's nothing more to say, just fight!" The Japanese regiment commander thought this made sense and nodded in agreement.

.........

In a bunker, there were a dozen soldiers from the 358th Regiment. They were sitting on the ground without any rest.

"Sergeant, will the Japs really attack us tonight?!" a soldier asked curiously. They were supposed to go out to fight tonight, but because the regiment commander gave the order, the Japs would attack and asked them to stay in the bunker and wait for the opportunity.

"I'm not sure, but since the commander said so, it should still be possible. If our fixed firepower points had not been blown up by the Japanese today, the casualties would have been even greater.

Therefore, the Japanese may choose to launch a surprise attack to blow up our bunkers. If so, we will be in trouble if we face the Japanese attack again. "The old squad leader thought about it and expressed his analysis.

Fortunately, the regimental commander had foresight and built a sturdy bunker in time to ensure that the firepower points in the bunker would not be blown up by the Japanese, thus ensuring fire suppression.

Today, many machine gun positions were destroyed by the Japanese grenade launchers.

"Damn it, the Japanese artillery is so accurate that they specifically target machine gun positions!" A soldier couldn't help but curse.

"Yes, the Japanese artillery is really powerful. Two shells are enough to blow up our machine gun positions!" The old squad leader also sighed.

If the Japanese artillery hadn't been so accurate, they wouldn't have been under so much pressure.

"Why isn't our artillery so powerful?!" a soldier asked. He felt that the artillery of their regiment was far inferior to that of the Japanese.

"Because the Japanese artillery has been trained for a longer time, while our artillery has not even conducted many live-fire trainings. In comparison, do you think the gap will be small?!" the old squad leader said helplessly.

The Japanese have many times more artillery shells than they do, and they have conducted live-fire training many times more often than they do.

Everyone fell silent. Their regiment was already very strong, but compared to the Japanese, there was still a huge gap.

"Okay, stop chatting and cheer up!" The old squad leader ended the topic, worried that they would be careless. If the Japanese attacked the bunker and blew it up, it would be troublesome.

.........

When it was twelve o'clock, the Japanese took action. The Japanese from the four directions of Fucheng sent soldiers to sneak towards the position of the 358th Regiment.

They walked as lightly as possible, crouched down, and headed towards the position.

Once the distance was less than 40 meters, they would quickly throw grenades into the position, killing some of the enemies first, and then rush into the position to fight the enemy with bayonets.

Subsequent artillery positions will launch bombardments at enemy positions farther away, hindering enemy support from other positions and buying time for them to occupy their positions.

.........

On the other side, Xu Qingfeng also led his men to a position less than a few hundred meters away from the Japanese artillery position!

"Political Commissar, the Japanese soldiers at this artillery position haven't rested. They are indeed going to attack the position of the 358th Regiment!" Zhao Ming said in a low voice.

Otherwise, these little Japs wouldn't be sleeping, but instead they were acting as if they were about to fire. All the Japs soldiers were ready to fire.

It looks like he's waiting for the signal.

.........

On the walkway at the city gate, Chu Yunfei held a telescope and wanted to observe the situation on the Japanese side, but it was too dark and his vision was blocked, so he couldn't see too far.

"Commander, the artillery position is ready. As soon as the position opens fire at the Japanese, they will immediately open fire and bomb the Japanese!" Fang Ligong came to Chu Yunfei to report the situation.

They had made all the necessary preparations and were just waiting for the Japanese to launch a surprise attack on them.

"Yeah!" Chu Yunfei nodded and waited quietly.

In the trenches, the soldiers here have also made plans for the attack.

Soon, some soldiers noticed a group of figures appearing in front of the position, but they did not make any sound.

Because the enemy was still quite far away. Before the attack, when the enemy was still 50 to 60 meters away from them, the soldiers at the position finally opened fire. Da da da...

Bang bang bang…

Puff puff……

This sudden scene caught the Japanese off guard, and many of them were shot and fell to the ground on the spot.

"Retreat! Retreat quickly!" A Japanese officer immediately ordered a retreat.

at this time!

Boom boom boom......

Shell after shell fell in the direction of the retreating Japanese soldiers. Explosions rang out one after another, and many Japanese soldiers were killed or injured on the spot.

At the same time, Xu Qingfeng also ordered an attack on the Japanese artillery positions.

Da da da………

Bang bang bang…

The Japanese soldiers at the artillery position never thought that the enemy would get near them, and most of them were killed on the spot.

The remaining small number of Japanese soldiers wanted to fight back, but it was useless. In less than half a minute, they were all killed by Xu Qingfeng and his men!

.........

In the tent, the Japanese regiment commander was waiting for news. The sudden gunfire from the enemy position startled him.

"Damn it, the enemy is indeed prepared. I said the enemy would be prepared!" The Japanese regiment commander looked at the Japanese lieutenant colonel with murderous intent in his eyes!
"Captain, it's my fault." The Japanese lieutenant colonel didn't dare to refute and quickly admitted his mistake.

Boom boom boom......

Another burst of artillery fire was heard, and the Japanese regiment commander's face darkened. This time, not only did he fail to blow up the bunker, but he also suffered a lot of casualties.

Fortunately, it happened at night, so the casualties wouldn't be that great. If it had happened during the day, I don't know how many people would have died.

Suddenly, gunshots were heard again, this time not from the enemy position, but from the artillery position in the rear.

"Captain, the artillery position seems to have been attacked by the enemy!" The Japanese lieutenant colonel was also a little panicked.

"You don't have to tell me that I'm not deaf! You will bear the main responsibility for this operation." The Japanese captain said directly.

"I understand, but the most important thing now is to send troops to protect the artillery positions. How could there be enemies at the artillery positions? Could it be that the enemy sent some people out of the city in advance?!" The Japanese lieutenant colonel became a little confused.

He had always thought that their enemies were in the county town, but now it seemed that there were still enemies outside.

"Needless to say, it must be! No, why would the enemy let people wait outside?! Unless they knew we were coming to attack the floating city, that's why they prepared in advance!
The enemy attacking the artillery position is not the 358th Regiment, but the Northeast Army!" The Japanese regiment commander finally reacted.

The sound of gunfire that stopped in the direction of the artillery position at this time made him confirm his guess that only the Northeast Army could eliminate the soldiers in the artillery position in such a short time.

"Captain, we should retreat as soon as possible!" The Japanese lieutenant colonel's face changed when he heard this. If the Northeast Army attacked the artillery position, they would definitely not be their opponent.

"Well, retreat!" The Japanese regiment commander nodded seriously.

They are definitely no match for the Northeast Army with such a small number of people. If they don't leave, death will be waiting for them.

Boo hoo hoo...

Just then, the sound of flying shells was heard.

"Not good!" The Japanese captain wanted to run out of the tent as soon as possible, but he was still a step too late.

Boom boom boom......

More than a dozen artillery shells directly covered the tent. The violent explosion collapsed the tent and even caught fire.

As for the Japanese regiment commander and the Japanese lieutenant colonel, they were blown to pieces on the spot and died instantly.

The artillery bombardment continued, and more shells fell towards the Japanese camp, killing many of them.

Da da da………

Bang bang bang…

At the same time, the soldiers of the special operations regiment also shot at the Japanese. Their shooting skills were very accurate, and they could hit the Japanese accurately even at night.

The soldiers of the 358th Regiment were also attacking the Japanese fiercely. They rushed out of the trenches with guns in hand and chased the Japanese directly. Later on, they even fought with them with bayonets.

Ding ding ding…………

Puff puff………

There was a sound of metal collision as the fighting began. A flare was fired into the sky, and flares were also launched into the sky in the other three directions.

For a moment, the floating city seemed to be surrounded by four little suns.

The blazing white light illuminated the area. With the joining of the special operations group, the Japanese were almost unilaterally slaughtered and had no power to fight back.

Seven or eight minutes later, all the Japanese soldiers on the north gate were wiped out.

The soldiers of the 358th Regiment and the Special Operations Regiment were cleaning up the battlefield and reshooting the fallen Japanese soldiers.

Chu Yunfei also led Fang Ligong and his group out of the city gate and joined Xu Qingfeng and his group.
"Captain Xu, we meet again!" Chu Yunfei looked at Xu Qingfeng and said with a smile. Sure enough, every time he cooperated with Xu Qingfeng and the others, the speed of killing the Japanese was always so fast. The Japanese were crushed unilaterally and had no power to fight back at all.

"Captain Chu." Xu Qingfeng also responded with a smile.

"Strange, where is Mu Jin?! He didn't come again?!" Fang Ligong couldn't help but ask, why was it Xu Qingfeng who came both times.

"Our captain is lying in ambush somewhere else. Now, let's clean up the battlefield quickly. We have to rush to the next battlefield." Xu Qingfeng said seriously.

They have to reach the designated location within an hour and launch an attack on the Japanese.

"What?! We have to set off now?! Are you planning to attack the 20th Division tonight?!" Fang Ligong said in surprise.

They had been fighting all day and had just fought another battle, but Xu Qingfeng actually asked them to continue, not giving them a chance to catch their breath.

"There is no other way. Speed ​​is of the essence in war. If we don't rush to the designated location to attack in time, there will be big problems. So, please understand.
We only want 40% of the spoils this time, and the rest belongs to you!" Xu Qingfeng responded. He was also a little embarrassed, so he could only make up for it by taking less spoils.

"They are all small matters, so it is better to divide them equally. Brother Ligong, take your men to notify the commanders of other city gates and ask them to come and meet us. We are ready to set off." Chu Yunfei ordered immediately.
