Chapter 292 Internal and external cooperation
The positions outside the city had already been captured.

For the assault group's three mechanized infantry brigades and heavy artillery regiment, attacking an outer position was a piece of cake. They reached the city gate in less than a day!
For Li Yunlong, whether there is an insider or not, he is sure to win this battle!

Of course, there are still big differences, such as the consumption of ammunition, such as the captured
"Captain Yu, the artillery positions in the east of the city are ready, let's start." When they arrived at Jindong to meet up with the advance regiment, Li Yunlong did not expect that the advance regiment could accomplish such a thing as instigating the puppet army to rebel.

However, this can greatly reduce the difficulty of siege, which is also a good thing for Li Yunlong.

So he decisively shifted the direction of the main attack to the eastern part of the city wall.

They formed a joint front-line command with the advance regiment and went directly to the front line about 2 kilometers away from the city gate to command the operations on the spot.

"Commander, everything is ready. Ma Tiancheng's regiment in the city has a walkie-talkie to report the shelling situation to us at any time." Yu Zhenze, like Li Yunlong, leaned against the trench that was still emitting smoke, observing the city wall in front of them.

"Commander, on that tower, the Japanese have 4 heavy machine guns and 6 Type rifles. But the Japanese machine guns are not just aimed outside. They have never really trusted the puppet army. They have always been on guard against them.

Just like now, there are four Type 4 light machine guns facing the position defended by Ma Tiancheng and his men, blocking the passage to the city wall tightly. Once there is any change, the four Type 4 light machine guns can form a cross fire on the city gate.

It is said that there are two 90mm small steel cannons in the gap of the city wall next to the tower. There may even be a Type infantry cannon. "

Yu Zhenze told Li Yunlong the intelligence he had discovered.

"The Japs' defense is quite comprehensive. If we didn't have so much artillery fire, I'm afraid we would have no way to deal with them!" Li Yunlong said as he counted the Japs' machine guns through the telescope. Sure enough, the black pheasant neck was facing the outside of the city wall.

Not to mention under the city wall, even in his current place, he might be hit by stray bullets if he wasn't careful!
"Da Biao, why are you still standing there? Let the artillery start working!" Li Yunlong turned and said to his chief of staff.

Zhang Dabiao followed Li Yunlong's promotion and stayed behind him closely. Now he is the chief of staff of the column. Now he can't just throw his hat and charge at will.

"Yes!" Zhang Dabiao responded, picked up the transmitter of the radio, and shouted loudly: "Prepare the artillery fire, target, aim at the Japanese firepower point on the tower above the city gate. Three shots ready!"

Three kilometers behind them, 3 mountain cannons had already entered combat status, and the adjustment for the city gate target had already tested the distance.

Following Zhang Dabiao's order, a mountain cannon fired its first roar.

The whistling shells quickly flew across the sky and headed straight for the eastern city gate of Jindong!

It hit the city gate outside the city wall.

Unfortunately, the shot missed and hit the city wall about 5 meters away from the city gate and 3 meters away from the tower, knocking down several bricks.

This round was a calibration shell, and the artillery observer at the front line quickly reported the distance deviation to the artillery. Now with the walkie-talkie, the artillery side immediately knew the deviation information and adjusted the angle and altitude.

Immediately afterwards, the second calibration shell was sent to the top of the city wall, blowing away several Japanese soldiers on the wall.

Without waiting for the Japanese to react, the third shell hit the city wall hard. Seeing that the target was locked, the 12 mountain cannons on the mountain artillery position began to adjust the angle according to the calibration angle, and then bombarded the city wall wildly!

Shell after shell landed on the city wall and the tower, blowing the defending Japanese soldiers flying everywhere, leaving broken body parts of the Japanese soldiers everywhere.

The puppet troops stationed several hundred meters behind the city wall turned pale when they saw such fierce artillery fire.

How can we withstand such fierce artillery fire? How about we just run away?
Some puppet troops have already planned to retreat.

"Brothers, don't panic. The ones attacking the Japanese outside the city are the Eighth Route Army. Commander Ma has already discussed with the Eighth Route Army. Today, brothers will fight against the Japanese together. Brothers, don't worry, the artillery fire will not extend to our positions. When the artillery fire stops, we will kill the Japanese on the city wall and let the Eighth Route Army into the city!"

Seeing that the brothers below were beginning to be unable to hold on any longer, the platoon leader of the puppet army company who was participating in the rebellion ceremony whispered to the puppet soldiers around him.

This made the lower-level puppet soldiers both surprised and happy. They didn't think they still had a chance to survive!

You have to know that once such fierce artillery fire extends over, although their group seems to have more than a thousand people, they are actually completely defenseless. One round of coverage may reduce more than half of their people. The power of artillery is difficult for ordinary people to imagine. Even if it is a 75mm shell, if it falls behind the fortifications, this class of people may all be blown away!

Behind the more than 400-meter-long fortifications inside the city wall, Ma Tiancheng, carrying the walkie-talkie sent by Yu Zhenze, nervously observed the movements of the Japanese soldiers on the city wall and communicated the landing points of the shells with people outside the city in a timely manner through the walkie-talkie.

Direct the artillery fire to further cover the city towers and walls!
Their walkie-talkie was listening to the same channel as the front-line command and artillery positions, so Ma Tiancheng and his team had the opportunity to make supplementary reports on the landing points of the shells that were difficult to observe outside the city.

In this way, the artillery can adjust the parameters of the bombardment in a timely and precise manner, and accurately extend the shells to both sides along the towers and walls to clean out the Japanese devils on the towers and walls.

Seeing that the number of Japanese soldiers’ heads swaying on the city wall was decreasing, Ma Tiancheng finally called for a stop!
Beside him, two teams of commandos armed with three Czech machine guns were ready.

The puppet troops in charge of observing the fire points on the upper floors continuously fed back intelligence to the artillery outside the city.

The troops who were robbing the warehouse started moving as soon as the guns were fired. The Japanese in the city had no idea that they were moving anyway. Although some low-level Japanese on the street were reinforcing them, they were a little surprised to see their direction, but they didn't pay much attention to it.
"Old Wei, brothers, do you want to eat meat or drink soup? It depends on you to lead the team. If we can take down the tower and successfully open the city gate, it will be a great achievement for us. But if it is impossible, brothers don't need to take too many risks. It would be good to retreat and wait for the Eighth Route Army to blow up the city gate and break in.

Now many of the Japanese soldiers on the city walls have probably been killed by artillery fire. It will take some time for the Japanese soldiers from the north and south city walls to reinforce. If you rush faster, you may be able to take them down. This way, we will have a chance to control the city walls and the city gates. Quickly open the city gates and let the Eighth Route Army in.

But we still have to be careful, and have the brothers pay attention to the Japanese machine gun fire points above, and never rush up, even if we call for another round of artillery fire, we have to wait until all the machine gun fire points on the tower are knocked down before rushing up." Ma Tiancheng was in the lead, and gave Wei Qinhai detailed instructions.

"I understand, Captain. I will get it done." Wei Qinhai didn't think too much about it. Now he was determined to get the first credit, so he didn't care about so much.

He led the commando team and ran towards the stairs on both sides of the city wall.

Ma Tiancheng watched the actions of Wei Qinhai and the other two commandos nervously.

On the city wall, the Japanese soldiers were not completely dead yet. Some of them also saw the actions of the puppet army, but they did not think much about it. They thought they were coming up to help defend, and they all focused their attention on the outside of the city.

On the front line, an assault battalion began to advance slowly towards the city gate under the cover of tanks!
For them, if there were still some Japanese soldiers left on the city wall, they would use tanks to blast open the city gates and then cover the infantry assault teams to rush in!
Just keep firing at the city wall!

However, they were informed that there were rebel troops in the city, so they should not attack too quickly and should wait until they took action before considering a strong attack.

So they didn't move very quickly.

Wei Qinhai led a team of people and rushed up to the city wall without any risk. The remaining Japanese soldiers on the wall could be counted at a glance. When they saw Wei Qinhai and his team coming up, they even showed a look of relief.

Wei Qinhai didn't care about that. "Fire!" With an order, the three Czech machine guns around him started firing at the Japanese! They took down the tower effortlessly, then turned the machine guns around and set them up in the north and south directions on the wall!

Then he tore off the Japanese plaster flag and waved it in the direction of Ma Tiancheng!

"Commander, Battalion Commander Wei and his men succeeded!" a soldier staring at the city wall said ecstatically.

In fact, Ma Tiancheng also saw it.

"Quick, quick, quick! Open the city gate immediately!" Ma Tiancheng's heart was beating like a drum! He hurriedly gave the order. Soon, the soldiers near the city gate quickly ran over and successfully opened the city gate.

On the other side, Ma Tiancheng began to report the intelligence obtained in the city, and the information was immediately transmitted to the assault battalion and the tank battalion.

The tank immediately increased its speed and rushed over.

He led the assault battalion to join forces with Ma Tiancheng's troops in the city and began to control the entire area near the city gate.

Behind the assault battalion was the long-awaited advance regiment.

At Zhang Dabiao's command, the advance team rushed in one after another in an orderly manner.

They cooperated with the rebel puppet army and the early tank battalion and assault battalion to continuously expand the control range and spread the area to the east.

The large army behind them continued to enter the city through this gate and began to clear out the remaining Japanese devils.

The commandos equipped with submachine guns and semi-automatic rifles had a huge firepower advantage when facing the Japanese.

On the city wall, the two companies, with the cooperation of the puppet army commandos, began to advance along both sides of the city wall.

The submachine guns and semi-automatic rifles in their hands kept firing, and the Japanese soldiers who were using Type 38 rifles on the city wall were beaten so hard that they couldn't raise their heads.

Control the city wall section by section.

In addition to the fierce firepower of the submachine guns, the RPG rocket launcher team also followed behind, and fired a rocket at the machine gun fire point of the stubborn Japanese soldiers, blowing the Japanese soldiers directly into the sky!

In this battle, thanks to the help of an insider, Li Yunlong not only consumed very little ammunition, but also seized a large number of weapons, ammunition and food supplies from the Japanese!
Most of the logistical supply problems for the attack on Northeast China were solved at once.

Because of the merit of guarding the warehouse, Ma Tiancheng's puppet army was directly reorganized into the Jindong Defense Regiment. After the reorganization, they will be responsible for defending Jindong.

For Ma Tiancheng, this is almost the most ideal outcome.

Li Yunlong tasted the sweetness and began to entrust important tasks to the advance team!
He sent them to go deeper while he waited for the arrival of supplies such as fuel and artillery shells from the rear.

The door to the Northeast burst open!
