Double-Cut During the War of Resistance: My Wife Came from 1937

late at night.

It was a time when everyone was exhausted.

The Japanese soldiers on duty were all listless.

Despite having just suffered a defeat, the Japanese army did not believe that anyone would dare to attack them.

"Boom! Boom! Boom!"

Suddenly, shells rained down, creating a tremendous roar.

The Japanese artillery positions and the four outer watchtowers were all destroyed by artillery bombardment.

The outer watchtowers were just ordinary brick buildings, not reinforced concrete, so they couldn't stop 82mm mortars.

"Da da da!"

"Clap clap clap!"

Gunshots rang out, and the searchlights high up in the station shattered, their light fading away.

"Charge!"

As the searchlights were blown up by sharpshooters, the Eighth Route Army soldiers immediately launched an attack.

"Aww~ Aww~~"

As the sound of artillery fire resounded, soon, piercing alarms blared from the main bunker, the highest point of the train station.

In an instant, the Japanese soldiers who were resting immediately dressed, took their guns, and left the camp.

The people inside the main bunker even dialed the county town's telephone, requesting reinforcements from the Japanese and puppet troops there.

At this moment, the Eighth Route Army soldiers in front had already rushed to the front with hand-held bulletproof shields.

They carried large pliers with them, capable of cutting through the barbed wire fence 100 meters away from the train station.

During this period, Japanese train stations were less harassed; they were only equipped with a single layer of barbed wire, rather than the later multi-layered structures.

There were no fortified villages or minefields, so the danger level was not high, and it was easy for the Eighth Route Army to open up gaps one by one.

"Da da da! Da da da!"

Upon seeing the Eighth Route Army, the machine guns inside the main bunker and the two auxiliary bunkers all began firing at them.

Some bullets landed on the hand-held bulletproof shields, but did not penetrate them. They only caused bulges on the backs of the Eighth Route Army soldiers, making their arms numb and painful.

"Quickly, quickly, there's a trench behind the barbed wire! Jump down and wait for orders!"

As he spoke, Deputy Regiment Commander Wang took the lead and jumped into the trench with his gun.

Behind him, many commandos jumped down.

These assault team members all used AKs or Type 56 rifles, and they needed to wait until the bunker was destroyed before launching their attack.

……

rear.

The Eighth Route Army's temporary artillery position.

In order to hit the target more accurately, they have moved the 120mm heavy mortar to a distance of only 800 meters from the target.

Political Commissar Wang ordered, "Aim at the main bunker at the train station. There are two heavy machine guns there. Take it out first, then take out the two secondary bunkers."

"yes!"

The company commander of the regiment's directly subordinate mortar company said, "Don't worry, political commissar, I will personally take action this time. I guarantee that the top of the main bunker will be knocked off within three shots."

He put on night vision goggles and aimed with binoculars himself.

After adjustments, fire the cannon.

"boom!"

The shell landed on the side wall of the main bunker, blasting a crater in the surface concrete, and the people inside felt a tremor.

"Boom!"

The company commander quickly adjusted his position again, and another shot landed.

"Boom! Boom!"

This time, both shots hit the top of the bunker squarely, blowing it open.

"These heavy mortars are really effective! Fire another one!"

Another shell landed, and this time the terrifying shockwave surged into the bunker, knocking all the people inside unconscious.

"good!"

Seeing that the machine gun had completely stopped firing, Political Commissar Wang gave a thumbs up and said, "Keep going for those two auxiliary bunkers."

The secondary bunker was far less sturdy than the main bunker.

A single 120mm heavy mortar shell blasted the wall open.

"Get out of here immediately!"

Once all three bunkers were extinguished, Political Commissar Wang immediately gave the order.

He hadn't forgotten that the Japanese infantry battalion inside the city still had two 70mm infantry guns!

They had only been gone for two minutes when the Japanese artillery began test firing.

"Charge!"

On the other side, after all the bunkers fell silent, Deputy Regiment Commander Wang began to lead his team in an assault.

Without the crossfire of light and heavy machine guns, and only a few bolt-action rifles, the impact was minimal.

They want to seize this opportunity to take advantage of the high ground.

……

Upon receiving the distress call, the city also immediately sounded the alarm.

The Japanese battalion commander immediately ordered his troops to leave the city gates and attempt to provide support to the train station three miles away.

Commander Chen led his men to conduct an ambush in the vicinity.

"Boom boom boom!"

"Da da da! Da da da!"

Under the suppressive fire of 82mm mortars and light and heavy machine guns, the first troops to leave the city suffered heavy losses.

They had to return to the city and engage in firefight with Commander Chen's troops on the city gate tower.

The only remaining company commander in the station frantically pleaded for help: "Lieutenant Colonel Kojima, the enemy's firepower is fierce! All our bunkers have been destroyed! Please provide immediate support, or the train station will fall!"

Lieutenant Colonel Kojima frowned and replied, "We were attacked by the enemy as soon as we left the city. We don't know how many enemies there are or whether they will continue to attack. Our primary task is to defend the city!"

"Kato, please hold on! I've already requested reinforcements from Brigade Commander Miura; they should be on their way!"

"Baka!"

After hanging up the phone, Captain Kato immediately cursed under his breath: "What a cowardly bastard! The enemy was clearly feigning an attack over there; their main force was on our side. They even used heavy artillery, which directly killed Noda-kun!"

He was originally in charge of the station, but when Noda's squadron came here, they said they would be taking over for him for a few days.

Unexpectedly, this substitution resulted in his death.

"Bang!"

Suddenly, the door was flung open from the outside, and a soldier rushed in, shouting, "Company commander, the enemy's firepower is too strong! We're about to lose this position! Retreat!"

"Baka!"

Kato kicked the other man to the ground, angrily shouting, "The road from the train station to the prefectural town has been blocked! Where else can we retreat? Now we have no choice but to fight to the death for the Emperor!"

After saying that, he took his gun and walked out.

"Hai!"

The Japanese soldier responded and quickly stood up and followed him out.

However, as soon as they stepped outside, they saw a large number of Japanese soldiers being shot dead.

The enemy's guns seemed to never need reloading; they could fire continuously.

"It's over, it's all over!"

This was Kato's last thought, and he was immediately swept away by a soldier with a Type 56 rifle.

Deputy Regiment Commander Wang ordered, "Some men should clean up the battlefield. The Japanese weapons can be left behind, but none of our equipment can be left behind. The rest of you should blow up the trains and supplies here!"

"Without the supplies here, the Japanese soldiers in the city will be unable to launch an attack on the base area in a short period of time."
