The system sent me to fight

Cao Changchen saw that Takemasa Watanabe and Nobuaki Ohno had personally held their sabers and led the 20th Infantry Regiment across the gap in the city wall.Can't help but put down the binoculars in his hand, and said to the chief of staff Miki Ikeda, "Ikeda-kun, what do you think of this Watanabe Takemasa?"

"Hai!" Ikeda said after seeing heavy pauses, "From his previous performance at the division headquarters, it can be seen that his commanding skills in street warfare far surpass Katagiri-kun and Ono-kun."

Kusada Tatsuya nodded and said: "Takeshi Watanabe's command attainments in street fighting are more than Katagiri-kun and Ono-kun. In my opinion, his command attainments are even a hundred times better than Katagiri-kun and Ono-kun!

He really deserves to be a talented student who returned from studying abroad at the Berlin Military Academy in Germany! "

"Hundred times wiser?" Ikeda Jian asked in amazement, "Is the general's opinion of Watanabe-kun too high?"

"Whether the height is high or not, we will know soon." Cao Changchen already said happily: "I am full of expectations for Watanabe-kun now. Perhaps, it is unknown if he can bring us a big surprise this time!"

Ikeda Jian nodded slightly and said nothing more.

Chapter 135 The Difficulty Increases

The east gate of Kunshan city.

After crossing the Chenghuan gap, Takemasa Watanabe did not immediately order an attack.

He stood on top of the dilapidated city, condescending, and after a brief observation of the terrain and conditions in the city, he turned to look at Nobuaki Ohno, the captain of the 20th Infantry Regiment beside him, and said, "Your Majesty, before the attack, we We need to explain carefully to the commanders of the 20th Regiment."

"Ah."

Nobuaki Ohno nodded, and then asked the orderly to summon several captains and squadron leaders under his command.

After everyone arrived, Nobuaki Ohno looked around, and said in a cold voice: "You all know that Major Watanabe is the tactical advisor of my 19th Brigade; he will provide tactical guidance for our department in this campaign!

Therefore, his orders are mine orders, you must strictly follow and implement them!clear? "

"Hayi!" All the commanders of a dozen devil troops nodded heavily: "I understand!"

Takeshi Watanabe nodded at Nobuaki Ohno, then glanced coldly over the faces of the devil officers in front of him, and said in a deep voice, "First, announce two disciplines!"

"First rule, when moving forward, try to climb over the ruins of the houses!"

"Unless you encounter ruins of houses that cannot be crossed, you are absolutely not allowed to advance along the streets!"

"Do you understand?"

"Haye!" All the devil army leaders nodded heavily.

After a pause, Watanabe Wuzheng said again: "Second, if you encounter the ruins of a private house that cannot be crossed, and you can only use the road along the street, you must push forward close to the roots of the walls on both sides, and it is absolutely not allowed to advance from the center of the street. !"

"Machine gun squadrons and artillery squadrons can't walk in the middle of the street either!"

This sentence, Watanabe Takeshi said to the squadron leader of the heavy machine gun squadron responsible for coordinated operations, and the squadron leader of the anti-aircraft artillery squadron.

After the tanks and chariots were all destroyed by the Huben Regiment, the anti-aircraft guns acted as direct firepower for the devils.

"Hayi!" The two infantry squadron leaders, eight infantry squadron leaders, two heavy machine gun squadron leaders, and two artillery squadron leaders nodded heavily at the same time.

"Order!" Takeshi Watanabe moved his eyes forward, landed on the ruins in front, and said in a deep voice: "The squadrons of the first brigade are spread out and pushed forward. Every time a commanding height is occupied, the heavy machine gun squadron and the anti-aircraft artillery squadron It is necessary to follow up in time and immediately build support firepower on the commanding heights!

After the construction of support firepower is completed, each squadron will continue to move forward to occupy the next commanding height!

Remember, this campaign needs to be fought step by step, steadily and steadily, step by step to compress the enemy's position and activity space, and you must not act too hastily! "

"In addition, the second brigade, as the second offensive echelon, moves forward with a distance of 200 meters from the first brigade, maintaining sufficient strategic depth!"

"Hay!"

The captains of the devils nodded heavily again, then turned and left.

the other side.

In the city, after the Japanese artillery attack ended, all the battalions of the Huben Regiment had emerged from their holes and entered their respective positions.

More than 40 sharpshooters selected from the whole regiment were also gathered by Yang Jing to form a sharpshooter company, and he personally served as the commander of the sharpshooter company.

At this time, more than 40 sharpshooters have been divided into more than 20 combat groups, and quickly entered the pre-selected sniper position.

As a defender, this is a natural advantage.

This time Yang Jing did not stay at the regiment headquarters, but went to the front line in person and hid in a western-style building not far from Dongmen Chenghuan.

This is a three-story building with a masonry structure. Under the shelling and bombing of the devils, the roof has been cut off.

The third floor collapsed completely, and the second floor also collapsed in half.

And Yang Jing hid on the roof of the other half of the second floor that did not collapse.

The view here is excellent, and you can almost see the east gate Chenghuan.

Yang Jing's gaze was also fixed on this place, he discovered the army of devils just after crossing Chenghuan.

Originally, he wanted to use the Mosin Nagant sniper rifle in his hand to snipe and kill several important officers of the devils, but unfortunately, Watanabe Takemasa knew the essence of street fighting, so he had long been on guard against the sniper killings of the Huben regiment.

Even standing on the top of the city to observe the situation, he was hiding in a relatively safe and dead corner position that was not easy to be killed by snipers.

Therefore, Yang Jing had to give up his plan to kill.

Because the purpose of the existence of snipers is to kill the enemy's key targets, destroy the enemy's command hub, and suppress the enemy's key firepower.

If you want to kill a few insignificant targets, you will expose your position and make the enemy more vigilant, but the loss outweighs the gain.

As the devils launched an attack, their figures soon appeared in the field of vision of the sniper fire points of the sharp gun company.

It's just that after spending money to buy lessons, these devils learned well.

Instead of advancing along the streets and alleys, they chose private houses instead of easy ones.

Teams of ghost soldiers, like jumping sky monkeys, climbed and jumped between the collapsed walls, while constantly moving forward.

It looks slow, but it's actually fast!

In the blink of an eye, the devil advanced more than 100 meters.

In the middle of this, the sniper firepower points hardly found a chance to shoot.Because the shadows of the devils are always shuttling between the collapsed ruins, their hit rate cannot be guaranteed at all due to the shelter of the ruins and the messy beams and rafters.

Because they have not received professional sniper training, but their marksmanship is relatively good. If they do not have a certain amount of time to aim, it is difficult to guarantee the hit rate.

After all, they are not quick shooters like Yang Jing.

However, Liu Yue's Fourth Battalion had already exchanged fire with the devils advancing forward.

However, the devils suddenly changed their attack strategy, instead of advancing along the street like a melon skin, they moved forward from the ruined walls in the middle, making these ruined walls provide excellent cover for the devils , It also caused serious obstacles to the shooting of the Fourth Battalion.

The flanking firepower that had been carefully constructed before also immediately lost its place of bravery.

Although as the defensive side, the fourth battalion still has a certain geographical advantage, but the advantage is not as good as before.

Coupled with the overall combat effectiveness of the soldiers of the Fourth Battalion, they are far inferior to the Japanese army in terms of marksmanship and stabbing.

Therefore, once the fire was exchanged, the Fourth Battalion quickly fell into a disadvantage, and was defeated by the Japanese army, losing hundreds of meters of defense zones one after another.

Captain Yoshino Kogoro was the leader of the Devils in charge of advancing from the main streets. Of course, he saw that the Huben regiment was completely vulnerable under the attack of his own new strategy.

A cold smile appeared on the little devil's face.

"Yoxi!" He immediately waved the command knife in his hand vigorously, ordering the devil soldiers under his command to accelerate forward.

"Kill the chicken! Kill the chicken!"

Suddenly, like male dogs in heat, several devil soldiers continued to advance forward with their guns under the cover of part of the firepower.

"Da da da!"

"Tu Tu Tu!"

But at this moment, these devil soldiers had just crossed the broken wall in front of them, and they were hit by the rain of bullets that swept towards them, and they all screamed and fell into a pool of blood.

Chapter 136

"idiot!"

Seeing that several soldiers under his command were beaten into blood sieves by the enemy machine guns in the blink of an eye, Kogoro Yoshino's face suddenly darkened.

He looked around, and finally locked on the broken wall not far to the left, and ordered a sergeant next to him: "Yours, climb over that broken wall!"

"Hay!"

The devil soldier Cao nodded heavily, and immediately waved his hand, leading five devil soldiers, and quickly groped towards the broken wall with their waists bent.

The broken wall was nearly three meters high, and with the devil's short legs, it was difficult for one person to climb over it by himself.

However, these little devils also have a way.

They immediately started to build a ladder, and a sturdy devil soldier quickly squatted under the broken wall.

Another leaner devil soldier stepped on his shoulder, and when he stood up, he jumped up deftly, and he directly climbed onto the broken wall and jumped over it.

However, the ghost soldier's feet had just stepped on the ground.

A loud "boom" suddenly came from under his feet, and the next second, the devil soldier took off directly.

Before the person landed, his legs broke in the air.

Not only the devil soldier, but the entire broken wall was directly blown down by the huge shock wave of the mine.

The sturdy devil squatting in the corner was directly buried alive with broken bricks and tiles, and was crushed to death on the spot.

The rest of the devil soldiers were also hit by the flying bricks one after another, some were killed or injured, and there was a lot of screams.

"Baga!" Yoshino Kogoro was startled and shouted, "What's going on?"

The ghost soldiers who were knocked to the ground also looked confused, only knowing that once their companions turned over, they became what they are now.

Shelling was not like shelling. If the enemy threw grenades, it would be too timely.

If he couldn't figure it out, Yoshino Kogoro didn't think too much about it.

He waved the saber in his hand forward, and let a few devil soldiers under him feint to attack from the broken wall on the right, attracting the machine gun fire of the defenders.

At the same time, let another part of the ghost soldiers push through the broken wall that just collapsed on the left.

With a two-pronged approach, Kogoro Yoshino immediately occupied the few houses in front, and led his troops to move forward.

Suddenly, a ghost soldier's foot just crossed the front door, the moment he lifted his foot.

There was another loud bang.

The devil soldier was directly engulfed by the red light rising from the ground, and when the red light dissipated, the devil had already turned into a corpse without legs.

mine!It's a mine!

Yoshino Kogoro finally knew what was going on, and couldn't help screaming with anger, yelling at Huben Tuan for being shameless.

Even laying mines in private houses.

"Your Excellency Squadron Leader, what shall we do now?"

Looking at the bloody corpse of his subordinate in front of him, a Guizi second lieutenant couldn't help asking with lingering fear.

This battle was really too difficult, too aggrieved, too angry, and too painful.

In addition to preventing various ambushes and shootings from the enemy's endless stream, it is even necessary to prevent landmines.

Moreover, is there such a mine?Which wicked thing came up with it?

Yoshino Kogoro's face was extremely gloomy, and after thinking for a while, he finally stopped the attack.

And reported the situation of the defenders' mines.

Not only the Yoshino Squadron, but also the rest of the devil's attacking troops were also caught in minefields.

Among them, the Ikeda Squadron, which attacked from the left wing, was the most miserable.

Since the left-wing urban area has received the least shelling and the houses are relatively intact, it has greatly increased the difficulty of advancing the devils, so they had to advance along the roots of the walls on both sides of the street.

Then, they hit mine!

The helpless little devil could only bite the bullet and push forward from the middle of the street where there were no mines.

Then, they were stopped by the intensive firepower of the defenders, causing many casualties.

In less than 10 minutes, more than half of the entire squadron suffered casualties.

When the news came back to Ohno Xuanming's ears, the old devil's face darkened immediately, and he couldn't help shouting: "Baga! These nasty Chinese troops even deployed minefields, and their conscience is greatly damaged!"

After venting for a while, he turned his head to look at Watanabe Takezheng, and asked, "Watanabe-kun, what shall we do next?"

"I still underestimated the ability of the Chinese commander!" Watanabe Takezheng said: "Your Excellency, have you noticed that the location of the Chinese army's mines is very particular, and their purpose seems to be to drive the imperial army to the center of the street. !

Otherwise, under normal circumstances, even mine should be deployed on the street!
