Resistance against Japan: Starting with the local militia

Chapter 220 All-Out Operation

"put!"

Tang Meng personally operated the Type 92 infantry gun and fired shells at the Japanese three-story pillbox.

With a muffled thud, the shell was launched and, with a whoosh, accurately hit the enemy's pillbox.

Immediately afterwards, a loud explosion rang out in the quiet county town.

Upon hearing the explosion, the remaining troops of the reconnaissance battalion launched an attack on the Japanese supply depot as planned.

Bullets rained down on the Japanese defensive positions.

"Enemy attack, enemy attack."

The Japanese soldiers stationed in the duty room of the military supply depot immediately sounded the alarm.

The Japanese soldiers who were resting in their rooms got up and joined the battle.

The gunfire intensified.

Niu Dali stood next to Tang Meng, watching him continuously fire shells at the two pillboxes in front of him.

The once sturdy watchtower is now teetering on the brink of collapse.

"Baka yarou! How could we be under attack!" the Japanese company commander in charge of guarding the supply depot exclaimed in shock.

"Company commander, the enemy's firepower is too intense. We can't hold out for much longer. We need reinforcements!" A Japanese platoon leader rushed in, flustered.

"Immediately abandon the outer positions and retreat to the inner positions. Hold the inner positions firmly for me. Our supply depot cannot be compromised. I will immediately notify the military police headquarters for support!" The Japanese company commander spoke rapidly.

"Hai!" The Japanese squad leader received the order and ran outside.

"Hello, hello, hello, connect me to the Military Police Headquarters."

"Hello, hello, hello..." the Japanese company commander repeatedly said into the telephone receiver.

No sound came from the telephone receiver.

"Baka yarou, they actually cut the phone line!"

"Operator, immediately send a telegram requesting assistance to the Military Police Headquarters and the Sakai Regiment."

At this moment, the Japanese company commander turned to the telephone operator and gave an order.

"Hay."

Meanwhile, the Japanese headquarters was also engulfed in flames from the battle.

Li Yunfei had led two companies of soldiers to lie in ambush near the Japanese military police headquarters long ago.

"Commander, there's an explosion!" one of the company commanders pointed to the Japanese supply depot.

"I heard you, I'm launching an attack right now!"

"Beat him hard for me."

As he spoke, Li Yunfei rushed out from his hiding place, raised his gun, and fired several shots at the Japanese soldiers on duty at the door.

Li Yunfei's marksmanship was extremely accurate; the two Japanese soldiers on duty at the gate fell to the ground instantly.

"Charge! Charge!"

Li Yunfei charged ahead towards the military police headquarters, followed closely by two companies of soldiers.

After Li Yunfei began his operation, the soldiers of the first platoon of the second company of the reconnaissance battalion, who were lying in ambush near the hospital, also began their operation.

"Attack!" Led by Xu Bo from the intelligence department, the platoon leader sneaked towards the Japanese hospital.

Unlike the fierce battle on Li Yunfei's side, the battle in the first platoon was completely silent.

Taking advantage of the Japanese soldiers supporting the Japanese military police headquarters at the hospital, the first platoon successfully infiltrated the Japanese hospital and began to eliminate the Japanese soldiers staying there.

The bayonets gleamed coldly, and one after another, wounded Japanese soldiers died under a row of bayonets!

On the other side, Zhou Zheng-biao, the battalion commander of the 1st Battalion of the Independent Regiment, also heard the explosion coming from the military supply warehouse.

"attack!"

With a roar from Zhou Zhengbiao, the soldiers of the First Battalion began their attack on the Japanese garrison at the west gate of the county town.

Meanwhile, the other two battalions of the Independent Regiment also launched attacks on the gates of the other two county towns.

For a moment, it seemed as if gunshots were ringing out throughout the entire county.

At this moment, Sun Qiang is assigning combat tasks.

"One team went to Gou Dongxi's house to conduct a raid."

"The second group went to Jia Chusheng's house to conduct a raid."

"The third group will accompany me to Sakai Taiji's house to conduct a raid."

"Remember to act quickly; we need to eliminate all the targets on the list."

"Yes."

"Action!" After saying that, the intelligence team began to move, running towards their respective targets.

...

"Battalion Commander, the Japanese have abandoned all their outer positions and have retreated into the supply depot," the deputy battalion commander said.

"Understood. Order all soldiers to cease their attack immediately."

"Yes."

"Call Qin Yang and Wang Fugui over here."

"Yes."

A short while later, Qin Yang followed Wang Fugui over.

"battalion commander."

"Qin Yang, we don't know the internal defenses of the Japanese supply depot. To avoid detonating the Japanese munitions, we need you to lead a company to storm in."

"When it comes to close-quarters assault operations, your company is the strongest. I trust you with my skills."

"Battalion Commander, rest assured, we guarantee the mission will be accomplished."

"Wang Fugui, you will lead the sniper platoon to cooperate with Qin Yang in the operation and provide fire support for the First Company!" Niu Dali continued.

"Yes, Captain."

"I will have Tang Meng fire flares to provide you with illumination so that you can spot the hidden Japanese soldiers in time."

"As for the heavy firepower points, Qin Yang, connect me to the front line via the field telephone and report the location of the firepower points directly to Tang Meng."

"Let Tang Meng clear away the obstacles for you as soon as possible."

"Qin Yang, Wang Fugui, Tang Meng, the three of you must act quickly!"

"Don't give the Japanese too much time. If they blow up the supply depot, our operation will be a complete failure," Niu Dali said seriously.

"Yes, I guarantee a swift victory."

"Alright, I'll bring men to support you. You have five minutes to prepare. In five minutes, Tang Meng will fire the flare, and Qin Yang, you will lead your men to launch the attack immediately!"

"Yes."

After saying that, Qin Yang and Wang Fugui immediately set off to prepare for the battle.
