Chapter 297: A Bang
Since ancient times, Qi and Lu have produced heroes.
There was Liangshan Lake in ancient times, and there is Weishan Lake today.
Peng Liang felt refreshed as he looked at and touched the brand new G32 general-purpose machine gun and smelled the charming smell of gun oil.
"Captain, does this gun oil smell so good? Is it better than the rouge of the landlord's concubine?"
"Comrade, how can you compare these two? Of course, gun oil smells better! Stop talking nonsense. Now we have weapons and instructors. Go recruit some good men who dare to fight the Japanese! Tell them that the guns are brand new and there are enough bullets!"
Peng Liang now has the goods in his hands and speaks in a tough manner. He can't wait to gather the team and fight the Japanese with real guns and swords!
In the past two years, the Japanese invaders have dealt a heavy blow to their railway guerrillas with their armored vehicles, and the original team of fifty or sixty people was almost completely defeated.
Later, the team was finally put together again, but there was another traitor who was bribed by the Japanese and the team suffered a heavy blow again.
There are only about twenty people left now, with four pistols left and no rifles left. The most pitiful thing is that there are only twenty bullets left.
Otherwise, the Lunan Military Sub-district would not have handed them over to the Independent Column.
Peng Liang had a blood feud with the Japanese devils, and it's not that he didn't want to take revenge, it's just that the time has not come yet.
"Damn it, when the instructor comes, you must train hard and learn your skills well so that you can avenge your brothers!"
Peng Liang was ready to go, while Linfen was also nearing the end.
After five or six days of non-stop digging, they dug seven or eight tunnels into the Japanese city of Linfen.
Ishida Keio in Linfen City did find something wrong, so he placed a few large jars on the ground to listen and see if anyone was digging a hole in the ground.
However, Wang Meng and his men were well prepared.
Howitzers kept bombarding the city, and the Japanese soldiers' ears were filled with buzzing sounds.
Ishida Keio became furious and ordered the puppet army to dig holes underground. After destroying several tunnels, he thought that his mission was accomplished and no longer paid attention to the situation underground.
"Stupid Chinese, do you really think I don't know their little tricks?"
Just after three o'clock in the morning, when the Japanese were most relaxed, three infantry divisions sent three battalions of "puppet troops" into the city through tunnels.
After Wang Meng received the news that the infantry divisions had sent people into the city, he immediately began the next deployment.
The three reconnaissance battalions, although they are the pinnacle of ordinary infantry, are equipped with advanced automatic rifles and 92 pistols, as well as company-level mortars.
But just three battalions were not enough to deal with the more than 30,000 Japanese devils and puppet troops inside and outside the city.
"All three infantry battalions are in hiding. Don't make any moves yet. Where is the special forces team?!"
"Report to the Chief of Staff, we have arrived outside Linfen City, waiting for the next instruction!"
"Contact Wang Ming for me!"
Wang Ming, who was waiting for orders outside the city at this time, immediately prepared a huge amount of high explosives according to Wang Meng's instructions and transported them all into the tunnel.
Then the soldiers who were proficient in blasting began to get busy.
According to Wang Meng's plan, they will carry out directional blasting on the city wall, and the shattered city wall will fall toward the side of the moat and fill the moat.
Then, the tank regiment of the 1st Armored Division coming to support will cover the infantry advance from three directions.
At around 7:50 in the morning, the special forces members came out of the tunnel and waited at the door.
Ding Wei glanced at his pocket watch and made up his mind.
"Contact the three infantry battalions in the city and have them prepare for bombing! At 8:30 sharp, use three signal flares as a reference to detonate!"
Standing on the Linfen city wall, Ishida Keio looked through a telescope at the already sparsely populated position of the independent column and saw figures gathering there.
"What on earth are these Chinese doing? What are they doing?"
Toishida Keio closed his mouth, then raised the telescope again. Suddenly, all the soldiers on the independent column's position retreated to the rear, and the entire position became empty.
"Yoshi, after seven days of tight siege, the independent column retreated?"
"General, they must be helpless against our city defenses, so they have no choice but to retreat. After all, under your personal command, our defense line is impregnable! Perhaps retreat is their final destination!"
This flattery made Ishida Keio so happy that he couldn't help but raise his shiny forehead.
The fortifications and defense system of Linfen City were his masterpiece.
"Yoshi, I thought the independent column could hold out for at least half a month, but I didn't expect them to only hold out for seven days! Send a telegram to General Shinozuka Yoshio immediately. Even without poison gas bombs, the 69th Division can still hold Linfen!"
Not long after the telegram was sent, Ishida Keio saw three red flares fired into the sky.
"What is this? Is the Independent Column up to something else?"
Ishida Keio looked at the position of the Independent Column suspiciously again, and then saw from afar that the soldiers of the Independent Column seemed to have blocked their ears.
A bad premonition came to my mind!
"not good!"
Ishida Keio hurriedly waved to the Japanese soldiers who were shouting and celebrating on the city wall.
"Quick! Enter the underground fortifications!"
But it was too late. Along with a deafening explosion, a strong vibration came from the soles of the feet. A big bulge appeared under the city wall at a speed invisible to the naked eye, and then a palm-wide crack spread from the base of the city wall to the city tower.
Seven or eight cracks appeared on the Linfen city wall, and then half of the wall fell towards the moat.
Ishida Keio was knocked to the ground and lay on the edge of the city wall, looking in despair at the Japanese soldiers who fell into the moat as the city wall collapsed.
There was no time to despair. Ishida Keio saw bursts of yellow smoke appearing in the distance, followed by the appearance of a number of black gun barrels.
The chief of staff ran up to the city wall in a panic and found the dusty Keio Ishida.
"General, independent tank columns have appeared in the southwest and northwest of Linfen City, as well as in the east!"
Ishida Keio rubbed his numb fat face, drew out his command knife, and shouted hysterically.
"Defend! Defend now!"
But after he finished speaking, he immediately organized the Japanese soldiers to prepare to block the collapsed gap.
The moat that was filled with the collapsed city wall has become a smooth road, and the mines in the moat have been completely buried under the broken bricks.
In addition, fragments of the city wall also covered the anti-tank cones.
As for the bunkers in the moat, due to the range problem, only a very small number of anti-tank guns and machine guns could hit the filled-in moat.
Now, the 180 105mm howitzers of the three infantry divisions have begun to suppress the Japanese city walls with firepower, covering the tank regiments and infantry in their assault.
