Bright Sword: I am the old squad leader of the Northwest Shanxi Iron Triangle

Chapter 145: Rushing into the City

As Wang Chengzhu waved the red flag in his hand violently downwards.

Hundreds of Type 107 mm rocket launchers fired simultaneously.

The sound of artillery firing rang out, and the rockets flew towards the target with long tails of flame.

Immediately afterwards, the rumbling sound of explosions was like popping beans, more violent and frequent than the firecrackers during the New Year.

The Japanese soldiers had no time to put up any resistance. Their artillery towers and bunkers were blown into rubble by the first round of bombing.

The Japanese soldiers in the bunkers and watchtowers had no way to hide.

They could only watch the shells fly over and into their bunkers and gun towers.

These Japanese soldiers were badly beaten up by the bombing.

The front of the tower had become a sea of ​​fire.

Accompanied by huge explosions, these bunkers and artillery towers were blown dozens of meters high.

Ling Yunzhi held a telescope and watched the barbed wire in front of him being blown up, and the bunkers and artillery towers being blown away. He nodded with satisfaction.

"The second round of artillery fire will clean the ground. We must destroy all the resistance of the Japanese." After completing one round of shelling, Ling Yunzhi ordered the second round of shelling without hesitation.

Ling Yunzhi knew that the Japanese fortifications had been completely destroyed by the first round of artillery fire.

The remaining fortifications could not withstand the impact of the Type 59 tanks.

But Ling Yunzhi still ordered a second round of bombing on the Japanese fortifications.

Ling Yunzhi knew that there were still many die-hard traitors in the entire city of Taiyuan.

He wanted to use rounds of artillery fire to break the psychology of these die-hard traitors.

After hearing this, Wang Chengzhu nodded. He quickly picked up the whistle, put it in his mouth, and blew it vigorously: "All guns, listen up, continue to reload, and prepare for the second round of shooting."

With the order, all the artillerymen took action and quickly loaded the Type 107 mm rocket launcher with ammunition.

Everyone loaded the ammunition very skillfully, and in less than two minutes, the second round of artillery fire was ready.

"Reporting to the commander, the launch is ready and can be launched at any time."

After hearing this, Wang Chengzhu waved the small red flag in his hand downwards again.

The artilleryman quickly pressed the launch button.

Whoosh...

Whoosh whoosh whoosh whoosh...

Whoosh...

All the rocket shells, trailing long flames, once again flew towards the Japanese defensive positions and city walls.

There were another series of deafening explosions, and the shock waves of the explosions were deafening.

The previous round of bombing left almost no grass growing in front of the city wall.

This round of bombing caused those Japanese soldiers who had not been killed on the spot to be blown to pieces, with blood and flesh flying everywhere, and broken limbs and arms scattered everywhere.

The explosion was like a landslide or tsunami. The entire city of Taiyuan could hear the deafening explosion.

Many people were knocked to the ground by the explosion. Even though they were lying on the ground, they could still feel the shock brought by the earth. This kind of shock was like a magnitude 5 earthquake.

The die-hard Japanese invaders in the city were frightened to death by the rumbling sound of the artillery. Many of them became incontinent and lay on the ground, shaking all over.

"Tubalu, this bombardment is too fierce. The Imperial Army will definitely not be able to withstand it."

"From the density of the explosions, we can tell that the Eighth Route Army mobilized at least one or two thousand artillery pieces to attack the city."

"It's over. It's all over now. How can the Imperial Army withstand such a heavy blow?"

"The Imperial Army won't finish explaining this time. If things go wrong, we will have to play along as well."

These die-hard traitors lay on the ground, looking as if they had lost their parents, their faces ashen.

Five minutes later, the shelling stopped.

Ling Yunzhi waved his hand, and all the tanks moved forward quickly.

At this time, the city tower had been blown down, and the Japanese soldiers and traitors on the city tower were buried on the spot along with the collapsed city tower.

In less than five minutes, the tanks had rushed into the city.

Wei Dayong was very excited when he saw the long gun barrel of the Type 59 tank.

Wei Dayong quickly ran to Ling Yunzhi and saluted him respectfully.

"Sir, I have fulfilled my mission."

"These little devils are so vulnerable. We didn't expect you to advance so quickly."

After Ling Yunzhi sent Wei Dayong into the city, Wei Dayong and his men had not had time to carry out much destructive actions.

Ling Yunzhi's aviation brigade first bombed the Japanese First Army Headquarters, and then bombed the Japan-China Friendship Hospital.

After two bombings, the Japanese in the upper city were in chaos.

Wei Dayong and his men didn't have time to take any further action before Ling Yunzhi's team had already entered the city.

"Monk, you have brought so many people into the city. How many of those die-hard traitors in the city have you not executed?"

After hearing this, the monk nodded quickly and said, "We killed a group of traitors. They deserved to die."

"How many traitors are there in the city? Your next task is to find all of them and kill them all."

After hearing this, Wei Dayong nodded repeatedly: "Don't worry, Commander, leave this mission to us, we will definitely be able to complete it well."

"Brothers, let's get along with the local people and make sure these traitors have nowhere to escape." Wei Dayong said this and waved his hand.

Soon, everyone followed Wei Dayong and ran away.

The streets were filled with welcoming crowds.

These people were all very happy. For these people, they never expected that Ling Yunzhi's team would break into the city so quickly.

These people originally thought that this battle would last at least several days.

As a result, these Japanese devils, who looked strong on the outside but were actually weak on the inside, were so vulnerable in front of the Eighth Route Army.

The battle didn't last long at all before these Japanese devils were completely wiped out.

"Comrades from the Eighth Route Army, we've been waiting for you to come." A middle-aged man quickly stepped forward and stretched out his hand.

Zhang Dabiao quickly stood in front of this person and asked, "Who are you?"

"Sir, we are from the underground transportation station."

Ling Yunzhi nodded when he heard it and said, "Take us to the headquarters of the Japanese First Army."

"Sir, the Japanese First Army Headquarters was bombed yesterday."

"Sir, there is no point in going to the First Army Headquarters now. It has long been reduced to ruins."

"Then where is their new office location?" Ling Yunzhi asked quickly.

"We don't know either. The commander of the First Army of these little devils was later admitted to the hospital. But the hospital was also bombed by you."

Ling Yunzhi followed the hand of the underground traffic station comrade and looked into the distance. The Japanese First Army Headquarters had long been reduced to ruins. Only two lonely flagpoles were still standing there.
