Chapter 382: Street Fighting in Jincheng!!
Jincheng.
In this ancient city with a long history, the former prosperity is long gone, and all that remains are bursts of gunfire and gradually dispersing smoke.
Above the west gate of Jincheng, the smoke from the city has added a touch of black to the sky.
This was not the first time that the soldiers of the Tiger Guard Brigade had fought in street fighting. The moment they entered the city, the entire team spread out in a fan shape and began to increase their control over the buildings in the city.
In the city, chain reaction detonations or explosions continued to occur, like plum blossom dots dotted at the front. After each explosion, the figures of soldiers rushed into it.
Tim Schultz, who was far away on the hillside of Jincheng, looked at the scenes in the distance and didn't want to move his eyes away for a moment.
"Is this street fighting? Relying solely on artillery support, the speed of their advance... is terrifying..."
There was some disbelief in Tim Schultz's eyes, because in just such a short while, the street fight was completely different from what he had expected.
During Hans Tiger's street fighting, the infantry was organized into small assault teams equipped with submachine guns, flamethrowers, grenades and explosive packs.
Assaulters are responsible for frontal breakthroughs, engineers are responsible for blasting obstacles or buildings, machine gunners provide suppressive fire, and snipers eliminate high-value targets.
By clearing each house one by one and blasting through walls, the enemy's defense line can be quickly divided.
Tanks and infantry work closely together. Tanks serve as mobile fire points to destroy enemy fortifications. They are often deployed at intersections or squares to use direct fire to support infantry advances.
But now, the siege of Jincheng overturned his cognition.
Although he was tied up and his vision was largely obstructed, he was still able to see some attacks on the edge of Jincheng from the side.
Attack, simple artillery support, three people in a team, sniper occupying the high ground.
Because he clearly saw that when the Tiger Guards entered the streets, they seemed to have completely become a different team. The team that was just charging madly outside now began to cooperate with each other.
They formed teams of three and took turns to cover each other as they advanced. Without cover, they would never attack rashly, and from the density of grenades they heard, it was obvious that they were using grenades to clear the way.
This style of fighting was no different from any other in the world, but the efficiency of the attack made him, as a military expert, a little bit unbelievable. What's more, he could never have imagined that there was a force in this place that was so strong in street fighting.
Simply put, this is a world-class top-level street fighting force.
"The artillery fire is very accurate, and the foundation of infantry-artillery coordination is very good."
Lucas, who had been silent the whole time, said in a low voice that in this operation, the special forces team was approached silently without even knowing it, which was a huge blow to him.
Now the street fighting of the Tiger Guard Brigade has made him truly realize the level of this unit.
Each shell landed accurately in the city, and some shells caused a chain reaction explosion after they fell.
Lucas couldn't understand this kind of street fighting. It was a battle that required intelligence, tactics, arms, soldiers, and mutual coordination. Almost none of them could be missing.
But now looking at the attack speed of the Tiger Brigade, the fighting is radiating into the city at an extremely fast speed.
Tim Schultz didn't respond because he had already seen everything Lucas said.
There was an ally plane providing support in the sky above Jincheng, but it had no effect at all. It was as powerful as thunder.
Under such circumstances, they still maintained a strong offensive. It can only be said that the will of this team has reached a terrifying level.
"I want to see you..."
"Shut up."
Tim Schultz suddenly spoke, and Zhao Dagumian was very upset. He cursed angrily, but in an instant he seemed to think of something and turned to look at Tim Schultz.
"Why did you pretend not to understand just now?" Zhao Dagu looked at Tim Schultz sharply.
"Then tell your story and hide your incompetence."
Tim Schultz met Zhao Dagu's gaze without backing down, but spoke frankly.
As soon as these words were spoken, Zhao Dagu and Xu Zilai looked at each other.
"Let's talk about it after it's over." Xu Zilai's temper was much better than Zhao Dagu's. He responded simply and his eyes fell on the battlefield in Jincheng.
Now he doesn't care about anything else, and the Jincheng battlefield is gradually becoming tense, so Lin Lu has no time to spare.
In the command room.
Lin Tianchen used a specially constructed window to look down from the hillside and see the place where the fighting was taking place in Jincheng.
In the semi-arc circle extending from the south to the north of the city on the visual map, the Japanese soldiers who were bombarded fled in all directions, and the red dots that were initially gathered together have begun to disperse.
The attack direction of the 1st and 2nd Regiments scattered in the south of the city.
Similarly, the appearance of bombers in the sky also hindered their attack.
Facing these little Japanese devils scattered in the streets and alleys, continuing the shelling would be more than worth the cost.
"Fang Bailu, contact the frontline positions. The first and second regiments will consolidate their positions on the spot."
"The New 1st and New 2nd Regiments will clean up the rear battlefield and deploy to Area 041."
Lin Tianchen looked at the huge map with densely packed lines drawn on it. It was difficult to fight the scattered Japanese soldiers. Instead of doing that, he had to see if there were any reinforcements around.
The visual map extends over 30 kilometers, like a radar, constantly patrolling.
.........
......
Pudong.
In early autumn, the drizzle was hazy and it was difficult to see pedestrians on the streets. People in various yellow and black military uniforms were coming and going on the streets.
On some streets, the sound of whistles and horns filled this once bustling city.
There were also several gunshots heard in the alleys.
Not only was there a curfew, but martial law was also implemented during the day.
boom!
A gunshot rang out again.
A window with a small gap in the street slowly closed. Wen Ren leaned against the wall, with beads of sweat on his forehead.
My heart was beating extremely fast.
With heavy steps, he walked to the table step by step and slowly sat down. Since Xu Lan left, he took the initiative to take over Xu Lan's affairs in Pudong and even cut off contact with his family.
"Why is Pudong under martial law now? Wouldn't it be even more difficult to transport the medicines?" Wen Ren is having a headache now. He has a lot of medicines piled up in his hands, but he can't find a suitable way to send them out.
Sitting in the room, Wen Ren didn't dare turn on the light. He used a kerosene lamp. The piles of lists on the table made him feel stressed.
Only when you truly stand in Xu Lan's position can you understand how difficult what Xu Lan did was. It was not easy to collect these medicines, and it was even more difficult to send these medicines out. Pudong was surrounded by enemies, and even leaving was a difficult thing.
Not to mention, sending strategic materials out of Pudong.
There was a sudden knock on the door, the familiar two long and one short knocks, but it still made Wen Nuan very vigilant. She took a look through the crack in the door before opening it.
Two figures walked in quickly, a man and a woman, about the same age as Wen Ren.
The two hung their raincoats aside. Zhu Rihe patted the rain off his trouser legs and said seriously:
"I've found out. This time, the Japanese imposed martial law because of events in the three northeastern provinces. Jincheng is under attack, and the Japanese's northern transportation lines are stagnant. Now, supplies from the war zones in East and Central China can only be shipped to Pudong by sea. The areas controlled by the Japanese have begun to collect supplies from some wealthy merchants. The purpose of the martial law is to prevent these people from leaving."
Zhu Rihe informed Wen Ren of the news, and his facial expression became much more serious.
At the side, Wang Qinchu, who had returned with him, also had a slight flash in his eyes, and spoke in an excited tone:
"We heard that the Tiger Brigade has won several battles in the Northeast and is preparing to attack Jincheng."
"Attack Jincheng?" Wen Ren looked a little surprised.
He could see the importance of Jincheng's location through various channels, as shown in some maps of the north, let alone the Japanese.
If his impression was correct, the Tiger Brigade participating in the Northern Expedition had only about 10,000 soldiers. But now, these 10,000 soldiers had not only won several battles in an environment where they were surrounded by enemies, but were also preparing to fight the Japanese in Jincheng.
Wen Ren thought to himself, feeling even more anxious.
"Have you contacted the medicine?" Wen Ren's eyes moved slightly. The issue he was most concerned about now was the transportation of the medicine.
After all, the Tiger Guards fought bravely in such an environment, so they must provide good support. The foundation laid by Xu Lan must not be broken in his hands.
"We contacted the Qingyun Gang members scattered in Pudong. They will contact us tomorrow. They said they will send us out even if it costs their lives." Zhu Rihe patted Wen Ren's shoulder and spoke in a heavy tone.
After hearing these words, Wen Ren couldn't help but sigh softly.
