Chapter 332: Transport Line Attacked
In the early morning of May 1942, 6.
Night had not yet completely faded, and the darkness before dawn was enveloping the perimeter of Yulin City. Like beasts lurking in the darkness, the various units of the field army advanced silently and swiftly towards their respective targets.
Under the Lingxiao Tower, a group of soldiers shuttled around the stronghold like ghosts.
The Lingxiao Tower rises high into the clouds, like a majestic giant beast in the night, quietly overlooking the earth.
The enemy sentries on the tower patrolled the surroundings vigilantly, but the soldiers of the first column quickly broke through the enemy's defense line with their skilled combat skills and fearless courage.
The fierce gunfire instantly broke the silence of the night, and the flashes of bullets flickered in the darkness.
The soldiers shouted and rushed to the top of the Lingxiao Tower. After a fierce exchange of fire, they successfully planted the flag on the top of the Lingxiao Tower.
The same was true at Sanyi Temple. Shouts and sounds of gunfire intertwined together, and a column of soldiers quickly captured this important stronghold in the south of the city with lightning speed.
To the north of the city, Zhenbeitai stands majestically.
Under the cover of night, the soldiers of the Second Column quietly approached the enemy.
The enemy's defense at Zhenbeitai was strong and their firepower was fierce, but the soldiers of the Second Column were not afraid.
They flexibly utilized the terrain, divided into multiple combat teams, and launched attacks from different directions.
The machine gunners suppressed the enemy with intensive firepower, while the commandos took advantage of the situation and charged forward.
In the fierce battle, the soldiers of the Second Column, with their tenacious will and excellent tactical coordination, annihilated part of the defending enemy, successfully occupied Zhenbeitai, and raised the flag of victory on this strategic location in the north of the city.
In the east and west of the city, the Third Column and Suide Divisional Forces also made smooth progress.
They were like two sharp knives, quickly piercing into the enemy's position.
The enemy's fortifications gradually collapsed under the fierce attacks of the soldiers.
After a fierce battle, they successfully captured some positions in the east and west of the city, surrounded Yulin City in the middle, and initially completed the encirclement of the city.
At the same time, Li Yunlong's troops arrived at the banks of the Sha River as quickly as a hurricane.
The banks of the Sand River were originally a quiet area, but now it was filled with a tense atmosphere of battle.
Under the personal command of Li Yunlong, the student army quickly took action, cleared out the surrounding enemies and occupied the area.
Afterwards, the soldiers began to build a temporary airport without stopping. They had clear division of labor. Some carried construction materials, and some leveled the land. The scene was bustling with activity.
As soon as daybreak came, good news came in from the field army headquarters.
The staff excitedly brought in news of victory on various battlefields, and General Shi and the chief of staff showed satisfied smiles on their faces.
"Order all units to consolidate their outer positions before 8:8 and launch a general attack on Yulin City at 5:!"
The Chief of Staff issued the latest order.
As time went on, the various units moved quickly to consolidate their outer positions.
Soldiers busied themselves reinforcing their fortifications, piling sandbags higher and thicker, and digging trenches that crisscrossed like the veins of the earth. Light and heavy machine guns were positioned in optimal firing positions, their muzzles pointed toward Yulin City, ready for battle.
At this time, Yulin City was like an extremely solid fortress, standing in the center of the encirclement.
The city wall is tall and thick, reaching a height of fifteen meters. It is made entirely of huge bluestones. Despite years of baptism, it is still as solid as a rock.
The city walls were covered with dense loopholes for guns and artillery launch ports. These defensive facilities were like countless pairs of eyes, coldly watching everything outside the city.
At regular intervals along the city wall, there is a towering arrow tower, with the defenders' flags flying on top, fluttering in the morning breeze.
The arrow tower is equipped with various advanced weapons.
Not only are there powerful mortars and howitzers, but also 110mm rocket launchers.
At the foot of the city wall is a wide and deep moat with fast-flowing and sparkling water.
The riverbed is littered with sharp stakes and various traps, and any enemy attempting to cross the river will face great danger.
The original bridge on the river had long been demolished by the defenders, leaving only an empty river surface, which became a natural barrier to block the field army's attack.
Inside Yulin City, the defenders were on high alert.
Their morale was high and they were full of confidence in this strong city.
The officers held binoculars and closely watched the every move of the field army outside the city.
The soldiers held their weapons tightly, ready to face the upcoming general attack at any time.
Various defensive facilities have been prepared, and ammunition has been piled up like mountains, waiting for the attack of the field army. They firmly believe that with the impregnable defense of Yulin City, they will be able to repel our army's attack.
At 8:5, with an earth-shaking horn sound, the field army's general attack on Yulin City officially began.
Countless artillery shells poured down on Yulin City like raindrops, and the flames of the explosions instantly illuminated the entire battlefield.
The shells exploded on the city walls, creating huge sparks, but the walls of Yulin City only trembled slightly and still stood tall.
The defenders on the city wall were not willing to be outdone and immediately launched a counterattack.
The roars of various artillery and machine guns intertwined together, forming a melody of death.
Intensive firepower swept towards the field army positions. For a moment, the battlefield was filled with smoke, and the shouts and sounds of gunfire were deafening.
The field army soldiers were not afraid. Under the cover of artillery fire, they carried ladders and rushed towards Yulin City.
Despite the fierce firepower of the enemy, the soldiers still marched forward bravely. They had only one belief in their hearts, which was to capture Yulin City.
A thrilling offensive and defensive battle began, and the fate of Yulin City hung in the balance in this fierce battle...
Inside the command center, the atmosphere was oppressive, like the dead silence before a storm.
At this moment, a staff officer rushed in hurriedly. His figure broke the suffocating calm, as if a huge rock had smashed into the already restless lake, stirring up layers of stormy waves in the hearts of all the commanders.
"Is there a situation?"
The staff officer looked nervous and quickly glanced around, as if to confirm whether the surrounding environment was safe. Then he lowered his voice and said with a hint of heaviness and anxiety:
"The transport team was just attacked by the Omanriks. Over 300 people were killed or wounded, and only one tenth of the supplies survived!"
Although his voice was small, it was like a heavy hammer, hitting everyone's heart hard.
"what?"
The Chief of Staff stood up suddenly, his eyes wide open, shock and confusion intertwined on his face, and asked loudly:
“Why didn’t the air defense forces have an early warning?”
The voice, filled with disbelief and anger, echoed in the command center.
The staff officer looked helpless and self-blaming, and explained with a bitter face:
"The enemy fighters' stealth capabilities have improved again. They were only detected 50 kilometers from the convoy! Our air defenses were completely unable to react. We only had time to call the convoy."
His words were full of regret, as if these mistakes were closely related to him.
"50 kilometers is only a matter of tens of seconds for a supersonic fighter. How can the transport team react in time?"
A commander slammed the table hard, his face full of anger and unwillingness.
At this time, General Shi had a frown on his face, like a silent mountain, but he exuded a majesty that made people dare not look directly at him.
After a long while, he slowly raised his head, his eyes firm and steady, and spoke word by word:
"Tell the frontline soldiers that we have sufficient logistical support, so they can attack without hesitation!"
"This……"
The staff officer looked embarrassed and hesitated to speak.
With such heavy losses and few supplies left, how can we ensure adequate logistics?
General Shi seemed to see through the staff officer's thoughts and said with a sharp gaze:
"Don't worry, we have more than one logistics support line!"
Then he shouted loudly: "Come here! Call Li Yunlong!"
The voice exploded in the command center, carrying an unquestionable command tone, echoing in every corner.
It was as if a shot of adrenaline was injected into everyone present, and everyone's originally low morale instantly showed signs of recovery.
