Chapter 192: Capture of the Train Station
On the position of the Second Artillery Regiment, the soldiers were desperately loading shells and firing. Every soldier was very excited as they had never fired such a satisfying shot before.
There was no need to consider the consumption of artillery shells at all, as there was a pile of shell casings next to each cannon.
Wang Chengzhu shouted excitedly while standing at the artillery position.
"Comrades, hit hard. Don't worry about the consumption of shells, fire the shells at the Japanese as quickly as possible."
After hearing the commander's words, the soldiers couldn't help but speed up their actions.
At this time, the guard ran to Wang Chengzhu, panting.
"Captain Wang, the brigade commander has ordered. Stop the shelling."
Zhuzi exclaimed loudly when he heard it.
"What? What did you say?"
"Captain Wang, the brigade commander has ordered the shelling to stop."
After hearing this, Wang Chengzhu turned around and shouted loudly.
"Comrades, stop the shelling."
For a moment, all the cannons on the artillery position fell silent, and the soldiers dropped their shells one after another.
the other side.
The regiment commander Zhang Dabiao was leading his soldiers in an ambush behind a small hill.
The commander of the first battalion said, "Commander, when can our regiment launch an attack?"
"The Japanese are almost being blown up by our artillery brothers."
"Hahaha, why are you in such a hurry? There will be plenty of devils for you to kill soon, so just watch the show now."
Not long after Zhang Dabiao finished speaking, the communicator crouched down and ran to Zhang Dabiao's side.
"Report to the regiment commander. The brigade commander called. He ordered us to launch an attack after the shelling is over."
Zhang Dabiao nodded.
"Captain of the First Battalion, pass on my order. After the shelling is over, the entire army will launch a charge, rush up to kill the Japanese and occupy the position."
"Yes, Captain."
Two minutes later, the shelling stopped.
Zhang Dabiao spoke loudly to the bugler next to him.
"Bugler, blow the charge."
The bugler immediately took out a bugle from his arms, took a deep breath, and then blew the charge.
“Ding ding ding….”
The familiar melody instantly rang out on the battlefield.
"Charge, comrades. Kill the Japs in front of you and occupy the position."
Zhang Dabiao led a regiment of soldiers to attack the Japanese positions.
at the same time.
Charge calls also continued to be sounded in other directions outside Yangquan.
The second regiment commander Shen Quan led the soldiers to launch a fierce attack on Yangquan Railway Station, and the third regiment commander led his troops to attack Hill No. 1 outside Yangquan.
"Charge! Kill! Kill the little devils."
"Comrades, the Japanese are at the front. Go up and kill them."
"Hurry, hurry, hurry, don't let the Japs organize a defense line, rush over and defeat them."
Countless Eighth Route Army soldiers shouted and ran desperately towards the Japanese positions. All of them had only one thought, which was to rush to the position in the shortest time possible.
When the Japanese soldiers on the outer positions of Yangquan heard the charge horn, they stood up from the trenches and prepared to resist.
Under the command of the officers, the Japanese soldiers on Hill No. 1 fought desperately. There was only one squadron of Japanese soldiers on Hill No. 1. More than half of them had been killed in the artillery fire in front. There were less than 50 people left, and they could not withstand the attack of thousands of people from the Third Regiment.
In less than 10 minutes, the Third Regiment successfully occupied Hill No. 1.
The third regiment commander shouted loudly on the position.
"Comrades, clean up the battlefield quickly."
A scout ran up to the third commander and shouted.
"Report to the commander, thousands of Japanese soldiers have emerged from Yangquan City and are heading towards Hill No. 1."
The third commander spoke to the messenger next to him.
"Messenger, pass on my order. Everyone in the Third Regiment should immediately organize a defense line. The Japanese reinforcements will arrive soon."
"Yes, Captain."
The messenger turned around and went to convey the order.
...........
On a small hill outside the city.
Li Yunlong used a telescope to see that the Third Regiment quickly captured Hill No. 1 in a short time.
"Third Regiment Commander, great job. If we take down the Japanese Hill No. 1, we can launch an artillery attack on Yangquan City."
He turned to the guard and said.
"Guard, go and notify the 1st Artillery Regiment to move to Hill No. ."
"Yes, Brigadier."
at the same time.
Zhang Dabiao led a regiment of soldiers to attack the positions outside Yangquan.
Since the Japanese built a lot of fortifications outside Yangquan, their attack seemed very difficult. Unlike Hill No. 1, the Japanese deployed nearly a battalion of troops on the outer positions of Yangquan.
"Captain, the firepower of the Japanese positions is too strong. The soldiers launched several charges, but were beaten back by the Japanese."
The battalion commander crouched down and found Zhang Dabiao and said.
"Fuck it, the Japanese actually built so many fortifications outside the city."
"Captain of the First Battalion, I will transfer all the mortars of the entire regiment to you. Destroy the Japanese's hidden firepower point for me."
"Yes, Commander." A battalion commander said loudly.
Afterwards, a battalion commander took a regiment of 20 81mm mortars to quickly set up an artillery position and launched an artillery attack on the Japanese troops on the Japanese position.
One shell after another flew towards the Japanese firepower points on the position. As long as the Japanese firepower points dared to open fire, they would be immediately hit by mortars.
the other side.
The commander of the Second Regiment, Shen Quan, led the soldiers of the Second Regiment to launch a fierce attack on Yangquan Railway Station.
As the Japanese' key defense point, a large number of defensive fortifications were built inside the railway station, and thousands of Japanese were stationed there.
The soldiers of the Second Regiment braved the Japanese's hail of bullets and launched round after round of attacks on the railway station. Although they occupied the outer perimeter of the railway station in a short period of time, the Japanese defenders inside the railway station were extremely tenacious.
The Japanese defenders used solid defensive fortresses and concrete buildings to block the soldiers of the Second Regiment, and the battle was extremely fierce.
The Second Regiment pushed all the mortars to the front and launched an artillery attack on the Japanese, but the actual effect was not great. The sturdy railway station building was able to completely block the attack of the shells.
"Captain, the Japanese have now retreated into the train station building. They are using the building to attack us..."
Shen Quan said angrily: "Damn, the railway station building is too solid, the mortars in our hands are useless against the building.
Second Battalion Commander, go and tell the soldiers to stop the attack. I'm going to ask the artillery regiment in the rear for artillery support."
"Yes, Captain."
After the second battalion commander left, Shen Quan immediately contacted the artillery position and requested artillery support.
Two minutes later.
There was a loud whistling sound in the sky, and 12 rockets with long tails of flames flew towards the Japanese railway station building.
“Boom boom boom….”
Only six of the 12 rockets fell into the train station building and exploded violently, while the rest fell outside the train station building.
After a deafening explosion, the train station building finally couldn't hold on and began to collapse. All the Japanese soldiers in the building were buried under the rubble.
After the smoke cleared, the originally sturdy building had turned into a pile of ruins.
After a fierce battle, the Second Regiment successfully captured Yangquan Railway Station.
