The War of Resistance Against Japanese Aggression Begins in Songhu

Chapter 213 Street Fighting (Part )

While the small troops led by Xufeng, Van Gogh, Huang Yizi, Lao Yu and others were fighting with the Japanese respectively, battles also broke out in many other locations in the city.

Relying on the various arrangements made throughout the night, and the street fighting concept that was one era ahead of the Japanese.

It can be said that once the battle started, the Japanese troops entering the city suffered a horrific blow...

Amidst the dense gunfire coming from several directions around them, a Japanese squad that entered the city from a gap in the south became noticeably more cautious as they advanced.

Becoming alert, they all became serious.

They no longer dared to advance brazenly along the streets and alleys, but instead, under the orders of a squad leader, two squads of Japanese soldiers acted as vanguards and rushed into the buildings on both sides.

After searching one by one and confirming that there was no ambush, the large force behind dared to continue advancing.

The main approach is to proceed steadily and cautiously.

In such a situation, it was not until a three-story building appeared before their eyes that obvious changes occurred.

Compared with the surrounding low-rise houses, this three-story building stood out like a crane among chickens, which immediately caught the attention of the Japanese squad leader.

Because with his military accomplishments, he clearly saw one thing:
As long as a machine gun team is deployed on the roof, plus a few sharpshooters, it is possible to control a large area around it from a high vantage point.

The Sichuan troops, who were hiding here and there like rats, had no way to maneuver quickly. They could only be squeezed one by one and finally killed after being completely blocked.

Immediately, he led his team to this key three-story building.

After the team arrived downstairs, except for one squad that took a machine gun and rushed to the roof, the rest of the Japanese soldiers all stood guard with their backs against the wall around the small building.

Once the safety of the small building is confirmed, the team leader will go upstairs personally, observe with a telescope, and then determine the next direction of operation.

It should be said that this Japanese squad leader has very good military qualities, and there is nothing wrong with his current command.

However, in terms of knowledge, they are almost a century behind the time travelers; there is a famous saying that goes, "Those who lag behind will be beaten", and now is the time for them to be beaten.

These devils had no idea that in the buildings they had searched before, Chen Tang, the wizard, Zanana and others, along with more than twenty brothers, had emerged from some extremely hidden places.

Through the passage that had been opened early in the building, he quietly approached the three-story building.

After a while, the encirclement was completed.

That commanding height with a good view was actually just a trap they set, leaving the Japanese with an irresistible bait.

Just wait for the Japs to fall into the trap and then give them a huge surprise.

Look! The first Japanese soldier who entered the small building set up a light machine gun on the roof.

After a rough check and finding no Sichuan troops, the Japanese lieutenant team leader hid in the small building and walked in excitedly.

After the fish was completely hooked, Chen Tang, the major deputy commander of the Subei Independent Regiment, didn't even need to say a word.

The novice wizard pressed down an old-fashioned detonator in his hand.

Suddenly, an electric current passed through the camouflaged wires and was transmitted to two electric detonators buried near the load-bearing walls of the small building and wrapped in 20 kilograms of black powder.

In a very short time, the electric detonator first detonated a part of the black gunpowder that the wizard had produced last night after almost turning Teng County upside down.

This ancient black powder has limited power, but 20 kilograms is more than enough.

The huge explosion they produced instantly collapsed the three-story building; in the collapse of a large amount of bricks and stones, the Japanese lieutenant and a squad of soldiers who entered were all buried.

The Japanese soldiers who were originally guarding against the wall also suffered heavy losses in the sudden collapse of the small building.

Even if they were not buried by the collapsed bricks and stones, or injured by them, they were still frightened by the huge noise and were completely stunned.

Even more devastating was the fact that the explosions from the small building were the signal for the ambushers to take action. Chen Tang, the wizard, Zanana, and the others rushed out of the building, which the Japanese had clearly searched, and opened fire wildly.

The Japanese soldiers who were stunned by the huge noise and casualties caused by the collapse of the small building were quickly knocked to the ground.

It can be said that when everyone rushed to the collapsed building, about ten meters away, there was no Japanese soldier standing in front of them.

*****
Like other veterans leading the team, Chen Tang also shouted:
"Clean up the battlefield immediately, and be careful of the devils pretending to be dead."

Such a call was, of course, due to the Japanese's attention to their weapons and equipment, as well as their habit of pretending to be dead before launching a surprise attack, and was just another reminder to everyone.

The difference is that Zanana is the tallest and strongest member of the entire team of time travelers.

When she saw a Japanese soldier lying on the ground after being hit by a brick, with a Type 96 light machine gun at his hand, her eyes suddenly lit up.

It’s not that the Mauser G98 rifle in her hand is bad, it’s just that she feels it’s light and flimsy to hold, and she has to pull the bolt every time to fire, so it can be said that it’s not convenient to use at all.

He immediately stepped forward with his long, thick, pillar-like legs.

During the process, he did not forget to install a bayonet on the rifle, and first gave the Japanese soldier on the ground one more stab.

What she didn't expect was that before her bayonet could stab, the Japanese soldier had already jumped up from the ground and rushed over with a smoking little melon grenade in his hand.

God knows what this young girl, Zanana, has experienced in the modern world? In such a critical situation, she is surprisingly calm.

He turned sideways and avoided the Japanese soldiers who were rushing towards him.

As the two passed each other, Zanana extended her left hand.

He grabbed the back of the Japanese soldier's shirt and pressed him to the ground like a chick, using his body to suppress the grenade.

That's right! Just like a little chick, the devil struggled desperately after being pinned down.

But with only his left hand, the Japanese soldier's hands and body were pressed down tightly, except for his head and legs.

In the end, he could only wait for the explosion of the Little Melon Grenade under him with unspeakable anger and depression on his face.

After the huge explosion shock wave, Zanana just shook her numb left arm, and picked up a Type 96 light machine gun on the ground with a look of joy.

Then the next second, his face was filled with unspeakable disappointment.

It’s not that this Type 96 light machine gun was damaged by bricks and stones in the previous collapse of the small building.

Instead, Zanana carried a Type 9 light machine gun weighing 98 kilograms, which was attached to the Mauser G rifle and she picked it up with her free right hand.

It still feels a little too light, and still feels a little off.

"Forget it! Let's just make do with it for now. Later, I'll see if I can capture some good stuff from the Japanese. Or maybe, after returning to the modern world, I'll exchange it for some powerful antique WWII weapons."

With a depressed look on her face, Zanana convinced herself.

At the same time, he did not forget to smash the spine of a Japanese soldier who should be the assistant gunner of the light machine gun with the butt of his gun.

After making sure that the other party was dead, he took some spare gun barrels, magazines and bullets from the other party and loaded them onto his own body.

A minute later, everyone looked at their heavy haul, which included at least two rifles, as well as a lot of bullets and grenades.

Chen Tang, facing the fierce exchange of gunfire at 8 o'clock, shouted:
"Everyone stop cleaning up the battlefield and follow me! Go support our friendly forces immediately."

In this way, relying on leading tactics and concepts, as well as the arrangements made after a whole night of hard work yesterday, the defenders of Teng County achieved a brilliant result after the street fighting started today.

Although the defending troops still suffered considerable casualties during the battle, it was much more enjoyable than the battle they had fought against the Japanese on the city walls yesterday...
