Traveling through 1937, starting from the Battle of Songhu

The next morning, as Gu Changfeng brought ten heavy artillery pieces back to the 386th Brigade, Brigade Commander Chen was extremely happy. With these artillery pieces, the task of taking Yushe and the Yuliao Highway became much easier.

Moreover, with Gu Changfeng leading the special forces to capture the Japanese's outer strongholds, their four regiments can completely let go and fight the Japanese.

Afterwards, Brigade Commander Chen ordered a battalion of soldiers to transport half of the heavy artillery and artillery shells to the 385th Brigade.

With heavy artillery, it is entirely possible to capture Yushe and Liao County at the same time.

At two o'clock in the morning, a few kilometers away from the Japanese outer stronghold, Gu Changfeng and his team began to move.

There's nothing fancy about it, just a straightforward, forceful attack.

The special forces have individual rocket launchers, which are not the same as the 107 produced by students. This thing is much more useful than the 107 rocket launcher.

Boom boom boom!

Eight rockets, trailing long flaming tails, flew towards the Japanese fortifications, focusing their attacks on the artillery towers and bunkers.

A series of explosions engulfed the Japanese turtle shell, and the air was filled with flying bricks and stones. The previously towering turtle shell was completely reduced to a pile of ruins.

"This is fucking awesome! It would be so great if we had this magical weapon!"

After several rounds of shelling, the Japanese's artillery towers and bunkers were basically destroyed. This result surprised and envious the usually well-mannered Brigadier General Chen.

"Bakayaloo, enemy attack!"

The Japanese squadron leader only had time to shout this before his team members began to attack, with the firepower team in the front and the snipers sniping from a distance. The remaining Japanese and puppet troops had no power to fight back and were all killed.

Brigade Commander Chen was shocked when he saw this. After a while, he said, "Old Zhou, this is what happens when people get angry. If we were to come here within two hours, it would be impossible for us to capture the Japanese outposts."

Zhou Han laughed when he heard this. "I've heard of the independent brigade's special forces before. They can destroy an entire city on their own. How could they take such a small enemy like that seriously?"

Brigade Commander Chen nodded and said, "I've seen this before. They're indeed strong. If there's an opportunity, I wonder if we could send some soldiers to the independent brigade for training."

He was really envious. With such a team in hand, he didn't know how comfortable it would be to fight the Japanese.

"My great brigade commander, haven't you seen the equipment of half a battalion? We can't afford that stuff." Zhou Han shook his head speechlessly.

Brigade Commander Chen thought about it and realized that the special forces' long-range sniper rifles were beyond their ability to deal with, so they had to give up.

"Let the soldiers march off. The enemy's outer strongholds have been eliminated, and this has probably alerted the enemy inside the city."

With the troops freed up, Brigade Commander Chen felt very comfortable. Except for the four regiments that went to attack the Japanese troops along the highway, all the other troops attacked Yushe.

His arrangement was also very simple. The 772nd Regiment was equipped with three heavy artillery and four rocket launchers to attack the southwest corner of the city. The 16th Regiment attacked the northwest corner of the city with two heavy artillery. A regiment of the First Death Column was equipped with flat-fire artillery and mountain artillery to contain the enemy at the north gate and east gate respectively.

With the communication of the attack order from Brigade Commander Chen, the operation officially began.

Boom boom boom!

With the support of heavy artillery, the 772nd Regiment quickly crossed the Japanese barbed wire. The Japanese on the city wall were suddenly hit by heavy artillery, suffering heavy casualties and had no ability to fight back.

It was not until the soldiers were about to rush to more than a hundred meters away from the city wall that sporadic gunfire came from the Japanese side.

With heavy artillery, the few remaining Japanese devils could not stop the attack of the Eighth Route Army at all. Soon, with a violent explosion, the city gate was blown open by the demolition team.

The Japanese battalion headquarters' phone calls for help were almost overwhelming, but the captain of the Japanese battalion was helpless. He was under attack everywhere and had no troops to send out. He could only ask for help from his superiors.

However, with the power of five heavy artillery pieces, the Japanese regiment was too late to provide support.

As the west gate was blown open, the Japanese captain panicked and ordered all the Japanese soldiers to gather together so that he could break out.

The bunkers they built were like tofu dregs under the enemy's heavy artillery fire, and even the poison gas bombs they prepared could not be released. How could he continue in this situation?

However, the Japanese captain wanted to lead the troops to evacuate, but Brigade Commander Chen would not agree. How could he be willing to do so unless he completely wiped out the Japanese with such a huge advantage?

"Report to the captain, the Eighth Route Army's resistance is too stubborn. We can't break out!"

The report from the Japanese soldiers completely made the old Japanese soldier Fujimoto give up. He led hundreds of Japanese soldiers to break out from the north gate, but the soldiers of the First Death Column ignored the sacrifice and just stood up to their attack, leaving Fujimoto helpless.

"Report to the captain, the Eighth Route Army that entered the city has surrounded us."

In fact, there was no need for the Japanese soldiers to say anything. At this time, Fujimoto also heard the sound of fighting in the rear. Without thinking much, Fujimoto gave the order.

"Warriors, for His Majesty the Emperor, kill the chicken!"

As a warrior, he could not surrender, so he chose to face the attack head-on and fight to the last moment.

At this time, the Japanese soldiers were still very tenacious. They found cover one by one and started shooting at the Eighth Route Army soldiers. The casualties on the Eighth Route Army side began to increase.

A few minutes later, Gu Changfeng and his special forces team arrived at North City. Seeing this situation, he directly ordered: "Sniper team, destroy the Japanese firepower point!"

After entering the city, he led the team to clear out the Japanese until the battle broke out in the north city. Fortunately, he didn't rush over too late.

Bang bang bang!

As the snipers were ready, bullets were fired one after another. The Japanese light and heavy machine gunners and grenade throwers were unlucky and were shot in the head one by one. They died in a very miserable way.

"Bagaya road!"

Seeing his soldiers dying one after another, the old Japanese soldier Fujimoto became desperate. After cursing, he pulled out the Nambu pistol from his waist and pointed it at his head.

At four o'clock in the morning, all the Japanese devils in Yushe City were wiped out, and the remaining more than 100 puppet troops also chose to surrender.

At this point, Yushe City fell into the hands of the Eighth Route Army.

In the following time, with the active help of the people in the city, the Eighth Route Army soldiers moved all the supplies overnight.

After taking Yushe, the 386th Brigade reaped a great harvest. In addition to a large amount of food, they also captured six mountain cannons, eight flat-fire cannons, ten mortars, sixty grenade launchers, more than thirty light and heavy machine guns, and more than eight hundred rifles.

After all, it is a garrison brigade, and the equipment is still very good.

In fact, if Gu Changfeng had not supported heavy artillery, it would have been impossible for the 386th Brigade to capture Yushe without suffering heavy casualties, and it would definitely have taken a few days.

At the same time, the 385th Regiment of the 769th Brigade also attacked the reinforcements dispatched from Liao County of the Japanese army at Langya Mountain.

With five heavy artillery pieces and more than 385 rounds of artillery shells, the th Brigade fought very comfortably. The Japanese strongholds and bunkers were almost destroyed with one shot, and a large number of Japanese died under the bombardment of heavy artillery.

After several hours of fighting, the 385th Brigade captured Shixia and Guantou strongholds.

Afterwards, the soldiers continued to launch raids, completely destroying the Yuliao Highway that the Japanese army had built for more than a year, and eliminating all the strongholds along the highway.
