Chapter 161 Attacking Yuncheng
As soon as Li Yunlong heard Zhang Dabiao's anxious voice, he knew that this kid would definitely not be able to sit still.
"Zhang Dabiao, are you cursing at your mother?"
"I dare not. I, Zhang Dabiao, obey orders!"
"Stop talking nonsense. I'm going to give you a dangerous mission. Do you dare to take it?"
Zhang Dabiao became excited. How could a man who was willing to risk his life in a fight be afraid of danger?
"Commander, give the order!"
Li Yunlong spoke a lot on the phone, and Zhang Dabiao became more and more excited as he listened, his eyebrows almost furrowed.
"Commander, don't worry, I will complete the mission!"
"Get ready and make sure everything goes well!"
After Li Yunlong completed the arrangements, Dai Anlan's armored division in Yuncheng also began the attack.
Without the threat of heavy artillery, 30 Tiger tanks took the lead and advanced towards Longju Town.
Sixty Type 5-5 tanks, with good mobility, began to encircle the enemy from the left and right flanks.
Armored infantry vehicles also followed the tanks, carrying infantry and began the attack.
At the Longju Town position, the Japanese came out of the alley, looked at the overturned fortresses and fortifications, and their companions who were bleeding from the shock, and began to feel frightened.
At the urging of the Japanese officers, the Japanese soldiers dragged out anti-tank guns and infantry guns and began to set up a defense line.
Looking at the billowing yellow smoke a few miles away, the Japanese soldiers at the Longju Town position gradually became dazed as they looked at the gradually shaking earth.
From their homeland to China, these Japanese soldiers have never seen such a big scene.
Although the Japanese commander was shocked, he still gathered his courage and drew his command knife.
"Baga, cheer up! Anti-tank guns and infantry guns, open fire! Kill them!"
The Japanese dragged out the remaining two Type 92 infantry guns and four anti-tank guns of the infantry battalion and began to shoot at the approaching tank cluster with all their might.
The small shell from the Type 92 infantry gun hit the Tiger tank, and it seemed that it could only create a small white dot, which just shook the Tiger tank.
"Damn it, load high-explosive bombs!"
As they were talking, the Longju Town position came into the firing range of the Tiger tanks.
"Oh!"
The rotating ammunition accurately hit the Japanese Type 92 infantry gun, which then turned into a burning flame.
The rest of the tanks also fired at the Longju Town positions.
The Type 5 tank quickly achieved encirclement, formed a pincer shape, and began to squeeze the Japanese positions.
One after another, 80mm and 75mm shells poured down on the heads of the Japanese. The huge impact force and fragments tore them into pieces.
The tanks rolled over, and the armored vehicles fired at the Japanese soldiers who were holding explosive packs and cluster grenades.
The infantrymen hiding behind tanks and armored vehicles also humanely destroyed the Japanese soldiers who were crushed half to death.
In less than an hour, Longju Town, less than five kilometers away from Yuncheng, was captured by the independent column, and more than 225 people of the 1500nd Infantry Battalion of the th Regiment were wiped out.
Looking at the town of Longju with thick smoke billowing out of it, Nagano Yuichiro felt a chill on his neck. Perhaps the murderous knife was only one centimeter away from his neck.
"Constrain the defense, all troops enter the city and prepare for street fighting!"
The 225rd Infantry Battalion of the 37th Regiment and the troops directly under the th Division squeezed into Yuncheng and drove out the civilians to prevent internal and external collaboration.
At the same time, Nagano Yuichiro ordered the 226th and 227th Regiments to reinforce Yuncheng at all costs.
"Baga, where is the First Flying Regiment? The tanks of the independent column are moving into no man's land!"
"General, we are expected to arrive at Yuncheng Airlines soon!"
The armored infantry regiment of Longju Town began to clean up the battlefield, and the tank regiment refueled and replenished ammunition.
"Rest fast, and start attacking Yuncheng in an hour!"
The tank regiment and armored infantry regiment of the independent column armored division are ready to go. If they can successfully capture Yuncheng, they may be the first Chinese troops to liberate a major city!
Dai Anlan and Wang Huaibao were also full of confidence. According to the plan, other troops blocked the enemy's 226th and 227th Regiments. They quickly captured Yuncheng and then defeated the reinforcements.
"Commander Dai, a large number of civilians appeared in the north! After asking the locals, we found out that they were all driven out by the Japanese devils!"
"The Japanese are helping us a lot. We were originally afraid to use force, but now we order Ye Dapao to bombard Yuncheng!"
Half an hour later, the armored division artillery regiment began to bombard Yuncheng fiercely, and blasted a ten-meter-wide gap in the southwest corner.
Just as the tank regiment was preparing to attack, the sound of planes was heard in the sky.
Thirty light and heavy bomber aircraft of the Japanese First Flying Regiment observed the armored cluster targets on the ground and began to drop bombs.
Heavy bombers dropped aerial bombs directly from high altitudes.
The light bombers began to dive.
The artillery regiment's two 37mm anti-aircraft artillery battalions and the armored infantry regiment's one 37mm anti-aircraft artillery company, a total of 75 anti-aircraft guns, fired a barrage of bullets in the air.
The barrage completely enveloped the armored cluster, shooting down four or five light bombers in succession, but a few aerial bombs still fell into the armored cluster, overturning three armored vehicles.
Looking at the armored vehicle on fire, Dai Anlan screamed in anger.
"Fuck it, beat him up!"
Wang Huaibao didn't expect that the well-mannered Dai Anlan would swear, and his eyes widened.
"Hurry up and get Ye Dapao for me! The division commander is angry. Beat him up!"
Ye Dapao immediately implemented the division commander's will to the extreme, took off his shirt again, and stepped hard on the launch pedal.
The Japanese dropped four more planes and ran away in shame.
"Everyone get on board, and set off! Extend the artillery fire, and specifically target the tops of the city walls!"
Yuichiro Nagano hid in the underground fortifications of the headquarters, watching the bad news that kept coming in, his expression gradually becoming numb.
"The 226th and 227th Regiments had not yet set out when multiple explosions occurred inside the camp, and all the heavy weapons were lost!"
"The First Flying Regiment ran out of fuel and ammunition, so it returned to Taiyuan after dropping bombs."
"A ten-meter-long gap was blown open in the southwestern wall of Yuncheng. The 37th Engineer Regiment went to repair it but was stopped by artillery fire!"
"The city walls have been covered by artillery fire, and we can't shoot at the enemy armored cluster!"
Nagano Yuichiro pressed his temples and felt a splitting headache.
"Everyone enter the city and prepare for street fighting!"
Yuichiro Nagano ordered the soldiers to prepare a large number of explosive packs, cluster grenades, and Molotov cocktails, ready to engage in a head-on confrontation with the armored cluster.
Since the Japanese had abandoned the city wall which had no practical significance, the armored group encountered no resistance and drove under the city wall.
Since there was only a ten-meter-long gap, it was not conducive to the deployment of armored forces.
Dai Anlan decided that tanks would cover the armored infantry to enter the city and wipe out the Japanese.
First of all, the tank has thick armor and can withstand black guns and black robes.
Secondly, the infantry can effectively deal with the Japanese suicide attacks.
The commander of the armored infantry regiment, Sun Yang, looked unconvinced.
"Why! Why can't my armored vehicle enter the city?"
