Bright Sword: Leading the Special Operations Squadron to Fight the Japs

Chapter 300 Occupying the City Wall

The Japanese artillery lowered their guns and locked onto the leading Tiger tank.

"Load high-explosive armor-piercing shells!"

The gunner pulled the gun rope fiercely, and a high-explosive armor-piercing shell flew towards the Tiger tank at a high speed.

"boom!"

The Japanese artillery cheered when they saw the stopped Tiger tank covered by a cloud of black smoke.

"Hit! Hit!"

They all stared at the Tiger tank with wide eyes, ready to see this huge behemoth catch fire and explode, but after waiting for a long time, there was no movement.

"What? How did the Chinese tanks move?"

"Impossible, you must be dazzled!"

The Japanese artillery second lieutenant picked up the telescope and saw that the Tiger tank was indeed rotating its turret. Unfortunately, the target the turret was pointing at was their window!

"Quick, reload the shells!"

Before the Japanese artillery had time to think about why it was difficult to penetrate the tank, they quickly reloaded the shells.

The huge impact force caused the Tiger tank to tremble violently, and the crew members inside were all stunned.

The tank commander touched his forehead and fortunately he felt something was wrong so he hid his head in the tank, otherwise his head would have been cut off by shrapnel.

"You damned little Japs, this is a newly maintained car of mine! Fuck him, load me with high-explosive bombs!"

The gunner shook his head and stuffed a high-explosive shell into the barrel.

"High-explosive bombs loaded!"

The gunner also captured the target at this time, and quickly turned the turret, pointing the 80mm tank gun at the panicked Japanese.

"Target the windows of civilian houses at 3 o'clock, fire!"

The gunner stepped on the firing pedal, and an 80mm caliber tank gun high-explosive shell flew towards the Japanese Type mountain gun.

In the terrified eyes of the Japanese soldiers, the fuse of the tank shell hit the gun shield of the Type 94 mountain gun, and then, accompanied by flames, huge energy was released, and countless shrapnel splashed in all directions.

The Japanese Type 94 mountain cannon and artillery were all blown into the sky.

"Everyone, please be careful! The Japanese have hidden artillery in the houses. Be careful to prevent it!"

The Japanese never understood until their death why even the conical high-explosive armor-piercing shells of their Type 94 mountain gun could not penetrate Chinese tanks.

Because they didn't know that the Tiger tank's armor was as thick as 102 mm and the turret's shield was as thick as 135 mm. The Type mountain gun could indeed destroy the Sherman of the United States, but it could only leave a big hole for the thick-skinned Tiger tank.

But they had to remain vigilant against the other two Panther tank battalions, after all, the Panther's armor was on the verge of being penetrated by the Type 94 mountain gun.

Fortunately, the Japanese were not equipped with many Type 94 mountain cannons, so they did not pose a big threat to the tanks that entered the city.

"We have cleared out the Japanese troops at the base of the city wall, and are preparing to attack the city wall!"

Ishida Keio was so angry that he almost had a cerebral thrombosis when he saw that his hidden Type 94 mountain artillery "Sword" did not cause any trouble to the tanks of the independent column.

"Baga, blow up these Chinese people!"

Ishida Keio commanded the Japanese to throw grenades and bombs at the independent column under the city wall.

"Damn it, don't the Japanese bombs cost money? Why are they throwing all of them at us?"

The commander of the 1st Infantry Division commanded his soldiers to attack the city wall while preparing to storm up the stairs.

"One regiment leader, one regiment leader!"

The tall commander of the Armored Reconnaissance Battalion of the 1st Infantry Division crouched and dodged to the side of the regimental commander.

"Tall guy, how are you guys? Are there any heavy casualties?"

"It's okay. Now is not the time to talk about this. We found a secret passage to the city wall. It was dug by the Japanese. Follow me!"

"Hahaha, good job! Let's go!"

When the tall man was moving freely in the city, he saw that the Japanese on the city wall had a steady supply of ammunition, so he followed a puppet soldier who was delivering supplies up the city wall.

There was no need to pull out guns or threaten them, the puppet soldiers obediently led them up to the city wall.

It turned out that the Japanese had dug every place that could be dug in the city, including this huge city wall.

A regiment commander followed the tall man into a residential building about ten meters away from the city wall.

I saw two Type 92 heavy machine gun positions and a dozen Japanese soldiers at the door of the house.

"Wait a minute, give us a minute!"

The tall man brought a dozen puppet soldiers with him. He pushed his military cap aside and ran towards the Type 92 heavy machine gun in a panic.

"Taijun Taijun, the Eighth Route Army is attacking us!"

The Japanese soldier looked at the tall man in the puppet army uniform, and without thinking, he loaded the Type 92 heavy machine gun and aimed it behind the tall man, without noticing that the puppet soldier behind him had already pulled the bolt.

“Da~da!”

More than a dozen Japanese soldiers were shot to death with automatic rifles.

"The first company will clear the passage and support the first regiment on the city wall! The second company commander will snipe the Japanese here! The third company will continue to move freely and destroy all the Japanese logistics!"

The first company of the reconnaissance battalion entered a civilian house and found an underground entrance that was three meters wide and more than two meters high. The Japanese and puppet troops kept moving back and forth.

The company, dressed in the uniforms of puppet soldiers, "friendly" dealt with more than a dozen Japanese devils and puppet soldiers along the way, and then entered the tunnel under the city wall.

Looking at the winding passage inside the city wall, the regiment commander loaded his pistol.

"Damn, no wonder there are so many firing holes on the wall! Let's go!"

The first company of the reconnaissance battalion led the way, and the first infantry regiment followed closely.

When the Japanese soldiers on the city wall saw the empty-handed puppet soldiers, they immediately got angry.

"Baga! Where are the bullets?"

After the Japanese soldier finished speaking, he was about to raise his hand to slap him, but was clamped by a strong big hand and could not move at all.

The Japanese soldier's eyes were filled with complete disbelief. The puppet soldiers who had been as docile as dogs before actually dared to fight back now?

"Baga! You're working like hell!"

The Japanese soldier withdrew his hand and was about to take out the box from his waist.

"Taijun, although I didn't bring any bullets, I did bring you some good stuff!"

The Japanese officer put the pistol back and patted the tall man's shoulder with satisfaction. This is a good dog!

"Yoshi! Where?"

As soon as the tall man stepped aside, the "fake soldiers" he brought with him had dispersed to various places on the city wall, and those who came out of the secret passage were soldiers wearing the iconic camouflage uniforms of the Independent Column!

"idiot!"

It was too late for him to take out the turtle box at this time, and several big holes made by semi-automatic rifles immediately appeared on his chest!

After clearing out the Japanese soldiers near the secret passage, the regiment commander ordered the soldiers to continue expanding the range to the left and right wings, and also asked the reconnaissance battalion to clear out the Japanese soldiers on the stairs going up to the city.

The 1st Infantry Division controlled the stairs leading up to the city, quickly occupied the eastern city wall, and joined the 2nd Infantry Division in the southwest and the 3rd Infantry Division in the northwest at the top of the city wall.
