Anti-Japanese War: Developing on my own, I brought back a US-equipped division

Chapter 451: Based on merit, Su Zheng is definitely a major general! One general's success is the result of thousands of sacrifices! (First update, please subscribe)

Rumble...

Boom boom boom...

The entire city wall was covered in artillery fire and smoke.

This really shocked Li Yunlong.

He couldn't help but praise the independent camp for its wealth.

You know, the Independent Battalion and the Second Division fought a big artillery battle, and then the artillery company of the Independent Battalion launched several artillery attacks.

Even now, the artillery company still has so many shells, it must be extremely rich.

There really is no shortage of ammunition.

I'm jealous of it.

Su Zheng beside him smiled and put down the telescope and said, "Captain... you don't know, this time when I return to the regiment, I brought all the assets of our independent battalion with me!"

Li Yunlong grinned and said, "Then your independent camp is quite wealthy, even more so than the local rich!"

dong dong dong...

swish swish...  

Boom boom boom...

Rumble...

There were roars of explosions everywhere.

Smoke and flames enveloped the entire city wall.

Artillery shells of various calibers continuously landed on the East Gate Tower, almost blowing the sturdy tower down and severely damaging the fortifications on the tower.

Zhao Donghai, Lei Zifeng, Liu Dazhuang, Li Deming and others saw that the artillery company's bombing was almost over, so they immediately organized their forces and launched an attack on the east gate of Ping'an County.

"Warriors, charge!"

"We will try to capture Ping'an County today. Kill!"

"Warriors, charge!"

With an order given, the soldiers roared and launched a charge towards Ping'an County.

The soldiers are now in high spirits. They use the three-three tactics as the basic charge formation and continuously fire at the small and medium-sized Japanese soldiers on the city wall with their weapons.

Da da da......

clap clap clap...

bang bang bang...

The Type 1 rifle, M827 Garand rifle, Springfield rifle, Type light machine gun and other weapons all spewed out tongues of fire.

In the attack position behind, Type 134 heavy machine guns, M Gatling machine guns, etc. are responsible for providing fire cover.

These bullets formed a dense network of fire.

The Japanese soldiers on the city wall were constantly killed.

The Saki Battalion was responsible for the defense of the East Gate.

This is a Type C combat unit with very weak combat effectiveness.

In addition, after the recent bombardment, the Japanese soldiers on the city wall suffered heavy losses, and the city wall's fortifications were also severely damaged.

So, when the soldiers of the independent battalion continued to fire, dense bullets kept hitting the Japanese soldiers, splashing bursts of brilliant blood, and then they kept falling down.

After the great battle with the Second Division, those who are still able to continue fighting are the elites of the independent battalion. Their combat effectiveness is very strong and their offensive momentum is also very fierce.

Keep moving forward.

"Kill Jiji, fire!"

"Shoot, kill Jiji!"

......

The Japanese officer on the city wall came to his senses and immediately ordered the Japanese soldiers on the city wall to shoot and block the attack.

At the same time, the reserve troops quickly climbed up the city wall and used the remaining fortifications to block the attack.

Da da da......

chug chu...

clap clap clap...

Type 38 rifles, Type 99 light machine guns, Type 92 heavy machine guns, etc. opened fire one after another.

Dense bullets kept flying towards the charging soldiers.

There is an open space outside Ping'an County, and there is no shelter.

Although the soldiers of the independent battalion can provide strong fire cover, they are still at a disadvantage under such an attack.

Puff puff......

clap clap clap...

Bullets continued to hit the soldiers, splashing blood, and they fell to the ground and died heroically.

But this could not stop the soldiers from attacking.

As the Japanese on the city wall opened fire crazily to block the attack, the casualties of the independent battalion continued to increase rapidly.

Many soldiers died on the ground.

The Japanese soldiers on the city wall were also fighting back bravely.

The firepower of the independent battalion was too strong.

The powerful firepower caused heavy casualties to the Japanese soldiers on the city wall.

The overall casualties were greater than those of the independent battalion that charged.

Although the Saki Battalion is a Type C combat unit, they still have a certain combat effectiveness because they rely on the city wall fortifications and occupy advantageous terrain.

The two sides engaged in a very fierce battle.

Bullets flying everywhere!

Bullets were flying.

The battle is fierce!

Seeing this, Su Zheng immediately ordered his troops to withdraw.

The retreat horn sounded.

The soldiers of the independent battalion who were charging retreated.

As soon as the soldiers of the independent battalion retreated, the artillery company immediately launched artillery bombardment.

dong dong dong...

swish swish...  

Boom boom boom...

Shells continued to hit the city wall of Ping'an County, and the explosions produced bursts of roars, flames, and smoke.

The fortifications on the city walls and the Japanese soldiers on the city walls were constantly being destroyed.

............

The west gate of Ping'an County.

When the attack was launched at the East Gate, local armed forces outside the West Gate also launched an attack on the West Gate.

The main firepower for the west gate was provided by mortars.

But they are all large-caliber mortars.

dong dong dong...

swish swish...  

One by one, the mortar bullets fell from the smooth bore and were quickly ejected. After drawing an arc in the air, they slammed heavily into the tower of the west gate.

Rumble...

Boom boom boom...

The roar of explosions continued.

Fire shot into the sky.

Smoke filled the air.

The large-caliber mortar shells were also quite powerful, constantly destroying the fortifications on the city walls.

At the same time, fragments of artillery shells continued to kill the puppet soldiers and devils on the city wall.

The puppet army huddled in the bunker, trying to avoid the bombardment of artillery shells.

But the fire was too heavy.

The bunkers and fortifications were almost completely destroyed.

The puppet army and the Japanese devils naturally suffered heavy losses.

The main force of the 124th Regiment of the Imperial Army under Fan Jinming was responsible for the defense of the West Gate.

The combat effectiveness of the 124th Regiment of the Imperial Army was really average, and basically it didn't have any strong combat effectiveness.

If there were no city defense fortifications, their combat effectiveness might not be comparable to that of the militia.

"Warriors, charge!"

"Comrades, kill them!"

The main forces responsible for attacking the West Gate were local armed forces, including militia forces, county brigades, district squads, etc.

The military literacy and capabilities of the soldiers of these local forces are definitely not as good as those of regular troops such as independent battalions.

But they are not afraid of death.

Charge forward while roaring.

bang bang bang...

clap clap clap...

At the same time, the militia soldiers opened fire with their Type 38 rifles or Hanyang rifles.

The puppet soldiers on the city wall were already scared out of their wits, but they could only resist.

This is not because they are brave, but mainly because they have the Japanese warlords behind them.

The Japanese did not trust the puppet troops of the 124th Regiment and arranged a number of Japanese generals to supervise their defense of the city.

bang...

A Japanese warlord shot and killed a puppet soldier who was trying to escape, and shouted: "Anyone who dares to retreat and become a deserter... will be killed!"

Forced by such tyranny, the puppet army on the city wall had no choice but to bite the bullet and fire to stop the attacking militia.

bang bang bang...

clap clap clap...

The puppet army kept firing at the attacking militia.

The two sides fought back and forth.

The battle was very fierce.

The militia’s combat effectiveness is not high, but they are not afraid of death.

Although the puppet army had strong city defense fortifications, they had already been frightened out of their wits, so their resistance was limited.

The militia forces advanced rapidly and were less than 50 meters away from the city gate.
