I'm killing enemies with my sword and exploding equipment

Chapter 717 Now we can only kill one division commander!
Thousands of people from the 21st Division, under the command of Tanaka Kyuichi, broke into Shuiquan City.

Then they found that their nightmare had come true.

As they marched towards the city, they heard the sound of gunfire from houses in the distance, walls, and streets.

Taking away the lives of their soldiers.

If they tried to catch up with them, they would be shot by heavy machine guns or machine guns.

If they didn't chase after them, shells would fly from afar from time to time, making them cry for their parents.

The entire city turned into a battlefield.

The brutal street fighting made all the Japanese soldiers feel extremely terrified!
In the end, Tanaka Kyuichi could only give the order to put heavy machine guns on the roof and control one area at a time, barely getting some breathing space.

During the day, their casualties were barely bearable.

By night, the attacking enemies were so numerous that they were completely unable to cope with them.

In desperation, they had to give up advancing westward.

They took the initiative to retreat to a small area near the east gate of Shuiquan City and began to look for a house to camp and rest, preparing to wait until tomorrow morning to gradually sweep the entire city.

At this time, Tanaka Kyuichi couldn't help but feel extremely regretful that he shouldn't have agreed to take over the clearing mission from Harada Yuji.

But now that things have come to this, he can only secretly curse in his heart that cunning guy Harada Yuji, wishing him a miserable death.

……

Just as the 21st Division retreated to the vicinity of the East City Gate to rest, Wei Dayong and his special operations company met in a small courtyard in the eastern area of ​​Shuiquan City.

Most of them were holding an MG-42 general-purpose machine gun and had ammunition belts hanging around their necks.

Some others were carrying bazookas and hanging shells around their waists, looking like future warriors, which was very intimidating.

"Captain, the Japanese army is now divided into two parts.

Some of them were in the north of the city and didn't get in at all, while others were beaten so badly by our people that they have now retreated to the east city gate, gathered together, and started camping to rest.

I estimate that the Japanese should have one division inside and one division outside.

It's a pity that none of us can speak the Japanese language, otherwise, if we could catch a few tongues, we could figure out the situation."

Third platoon leader Lu Yuhao reported to Wei Dayong.

"These bastards are so cowardly!
I also told the regiment commander that we should kill the two division commanders of the Japanese devils!

Now we can only kill one!"

Wei Dayong was indignant.

It was as if the two Japanese division commanders were a dish at his fingertips.

Then he asked the platoon leader Zuo Feng:

"Zuo Feng, what are the results of your reconnaissance?
Have you found out where the headquarters of the group of Japanese soldiers who entered the city is?"

“It should be at the Sun Family Courtyard at the end of the second alley inside the East City Gate.

We saw Japanese officers constantly coming in and out, and the Japanese had set up several layers of guard posts there."

Zuo Feng answered.

"Sun Family Compound?
I've been to this courtyard before. Is this a three-story courtyard?"

Wei Dayong recalled carefully.

He is very familiar with the terrain of Shuiquan City.

When the area was occupied by the Japanese Fourth Brigade, he led the special operations company in to lurk there.

"Not bad!"

Zuo Feng nodded.

"Okay, I remember that next to the Sun family compound was the Zhang family mansion, and there was a dog hole under the wall of the backyard of the Zhang family mansion, and I crawled through it!
Wait a minute, we will get into the Zhang family mansion through this dog hole, then climb onto the roof of the Zhang family mansion, and use the rocket launcher to blow up all the rooms in the Sun family compound!"

Wei Dayong arranged.

"Captain, the Japanese must have a guard post in the Zhang family mansion, right?"

Third Platoon Leader Lu Yuhao questioned.

"Then kill these sentries!

It's so dark, as long as we don't fire our guns, the Japs won't notice us."

Wei Dayong said firmly.

"Captain, I think you think it's too easy.

Why don't we arrange some people to make a feint to the east and attack in the west? "

Zuo Feng suggested.

"That's a good idea.

Aren't the Japanese very close to the east wall? Why don't we send some people to fire from the wall, and they will surely be in trouble!"

Wei Dayong's eyes lit up.

Second Platoon Leader Gao Daniu shook his head:

“Captain, don’t even think about the direction of the city wall.

The Japanese were not stupid. They placed their main forces on the city walls and set up heavy machine guns.

There is no chance for us to sneak through. One flare will expose us and we will be shot by heavy machine guns without any cover."

"If the city wall doesn't work, then let's go for the city gate.

Daniel, later you will lead your men to feint and attack the East Gate, creating the illusion that we are going to break out from the east, and attract the attention of the Japanese."

Wei Dayong arranged.

"Yes!"

Gao Daniu agreed immediately.

He didn't care at all about how much danger he would face in carrying out such a big mission with only ten people under his command.

"Everyone else, follow me!"

……

The arrangements were made, and Wei Dayong led his men and carefully sneaked towards the Zhang family mansion.

These people had strong individual combat capabilities and were proficient in ambushes and sneak attacks. They quickly killed all the Japanese guards they encountered along the way.

However, when they arrived outside the Zhang family mansion, they saw that the Japanese devils here had a guard post every three steps and a sentry every five steps, and the defense was very tight.

Seeing that there was no way to sneak in without firing a gun, Wei Dayong and others could only lie in ambush quietly and wait for Gao Daniu to take action.

Soon, bright flames and loud explosions were heard from the direction of the East Gate.

"Boom...boom..."

When the explosion was heard, the Japanese soldiers nearby were in a panic.

Amid the officers' screaming commands, they ran towards the East Gate.

Only a few sentries were left.

Seeing this, Wei Dayong immediately waved his hand and took his men to deal with these sentries.

Then he entered the Zhang family mansion through the dog hole as if he was familiar with the place, climbed onto the roof, and looked towards the direction of the Sun family compound.

After a while, Wei Dayong pointed to the main hall of the Sun family compound, which was still as bright as day, and quietly ordered:
"That must be the Japanese headquarters. We'll fire all the rockets there later!
I just don’t believe that our 40 rockets can’t kill these sons of bitches!”

Following his orders, seven or eight soldiers carrying rocket launchers began to prepare.

Less than a minute later, they suddenly pulled the trigger, and immediately seven or eight bright flames illuminated the night sky.

……

Wei Dayong and others guessed correctly that the headquarters of the Japanese 21st Division was in the Sun family compound.

At this moment, Tanaka Kyuichi had not yet gone to bed. He was in his temporary command post, together with his chief of staff Kusumoto Jutsuka, listening to the commanders of the various regiments and battalion commanders reporting on their casualties.

Upon hearing that his few remaining battalions had lost 30 to 40 percent of their men today, he was so angry that he almost vomited blood.

Just as he was about to order these useless people to go back and reflect on how to continue to wipe out the Eighth Route Army tomorrow, he heard an explosion from the direction of the East City Gate.

Suddenly, I felt a chill on my back and screamed:

"Baga! Are the Eighth Route Army planning to close all the city gates and swallow up our 21st Division in one gulp?"

I have to say, imagination is the most deadly!
As he thought about this, he felt that his troops were on the verge of annihilation.

He immediately ordered the 83rd Regiment's commander, Keita Kaneda:

"Kaneda-kun, take your men to guard the East City Gate immediately and resolutely eliminate the invading Tubalu!"

"Hi!"

Kaneda Keita agreed and hurried away with the two captains.

……

Watching them leave, Tanaka Jiuyi was still worried. He paced around the room and walked in circles for several minutes.

Then he couldn't help but ask his chief of staff, Kusumoto Jutaka:

"Kusumoto-kun, since the Eighth Route Army was defeated during the day, why are they attacking the East Gate now?

I think there must be something fishy about this matter!"

After hearing this, Kusumoto Julong had no idea what to do.

Just as he was about to make an excuse, he suddenly heard a dense whistling sound coming from outside -

“Swish…swish, swish, swish…”

"Not good! Enemy attack!"

Kusumoto Julong's face changed drastically and he shouted in panic.

"Baga! Artillery fire! Dodge the artillery fire!"

Tanaka Jiuyi also roared and ran to the corner of the wall, and suddenly fell to the ground with a dog-eat-shit posture.

"boom!"

"boom!"

"boom!"
