Chapter 3048: Bombarding the City Gate

I remember when Li Yunlong attacked Ping'an County, he mobilized his best forces to gnaw at it for most of the day, but he couldn't stop it.

In the end, they couldn't attack for a long time, and they were forced to use the Veneto-class destroyer's naval guns. Oh no, they used Italian guns to blast the city gate building with one shot.

But today is different.

Kulbalov, who was ordered by Malashenko to personally lead the siege, did not have Li Yunlong's Italian artillery, but he did have the Red Navy's 130 destroyer cannon, which was several times more powerful.

On the other hand, the Japanese army defending the city, after Morishima Kuronei mobilized most of the elite main force, now only has a squadron of about 300 people in combat strength.

What's even worse is that there are only a few heavy weapons to defend the city. Not to mention the heavy artillery, the most "deterrent" weapon on the entire city gate building is the two Type 92 heavy weapons. machine gun.

As for the city gate entrance below the city gate tower, the level of the city defense weapons is even lower.

Just two machine gun bunkers made of sandbags, plus two crooked light machine guns, plus a dozen Japanese soldiers standing guard and a sergeant, this is the entire defensive force.

Generally speaking, this configuration is enough to face the guerrillas. The light and heavy machine guns in front of the city gate and on the city gate are matched high and low, and the machine gun barrage formed is enough to block the suburban wilderness around the county seat and prevent any intrusion.

But what the Japanese devils face today is not the guerrillas lurking in the hinterland of the Kwantung Army-occupied area, but the Soviet Red Army violently invading from the south of the Ussuri River.

Kulbalov, who had already fought against the main force of the Japanese army, had a full understanding of how good these enemies were.

The main elite of the Japanese army can't fight with the leading troops of the leader's army. They are not a unified enemy. How can a few little devils guarding the city turn the world upside down?

I didn’t say anything, just fuck him!

The IS7, which was driving forward wildly and with the accelerator depressed, did not even stop. It stood on the city gate building and looked far away, leading a large group of T-43A and BMP-43 behind it in the flying dust. .

The IS7 is really an excellent heavy tank, with all three elements of firepower, mobility and protection being extremely strong.

Its mobility is comparable to that of a medium tank, making it an accompanying command vehicle for medium tank units. The Japanese on the city gate tower were frightened at the first sight of the formation, which was leading the way.

"Then that's not our tank! It's not the brigade commander, it's the Russians who are coming!"

"Quick! Go and report to Major Watanabe! The Russian tanks have more heads than the heads at our city gate!!!"

Looking at this formation, even if it is divided equally on a head-to-head basis, on average, at least 3 Russian tanks can be spread on the head of each city gate devil. This is really outrageous.

The panicked Japanese soldiers immediately went down from the city gate building and ran to the communication room not far below to make a phone call to report that the Russians had arrived to kill the general.

Unexpectedly, as soon as the front foot left the city gate, the Russian artillery shells violently blasted in from the rear.

The huge explosion directly knocked the Japanese who had just stepped out of the city gate to the ground.

Boom——

With just one 130mm grenade, most of the two machine gun bunkers in front of the city gate and a dozen Japanese soldiers were wiped out. The explosion was so powerful that the ground nearby shook and dust flew up in an instant.

"Charge! The tanks rush directly into the city, and the infantry fighting vehicles bring the infantry directly in! Don't give the enemy a chance to breathe! Charge!"

With an additional order from Kulbalov, the IS7 at the front of the queue hit the accelerator harder and galloped away.

"Quick! Close the city gate quickly, don't let the Russians rush in!"

The Japanese sergeant who was lucky enough not to be killed by a single shot was so frightened that he quickly commanded several of his soldiers, along with several other Japanese soldiers who came down from the city gate to help. They rushed forward and tried to close the city gate with all their hands, trying to use this wooden door to block the rampaging Russian steel behemoth.

The wooden city gate, which had been blasted by 130 grenades at close range, had a gap. Under the IS7's combat weight of almost 70 tons and the inertia of high-speed charging, it performed a live performance of what is called "paper mache". The thing will break if you poke it."

Click——

"Whaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaah!!!"

The dilapidated wooden city gate was directly hit to pieces by the IS7, which was like a dump truck.

The few Japanese who had just pushed up the city gate and had not had time to run away were unable to dodge. As debris from the city gate flew everywhere, they became IS7's dead souls on the spot. With a snap, they were even armed with guns. Crush tomatoes into pulp.

"The Russians are coming! Go and ask for reinforcements! Hurry!"

Several Japanese soldiers who were farther away rushed to report the news, but IS7, which had just rushed into the city, did not go further. Stand firm on the spot and hold the first foothold after entering the city, waiting for the follow-up BMP43 infantry fighting vehicles to deliver the fully armed mechanized infantry.

"Let's go! Get off the car, hurry, hurry, hurry!"

The back door of the BMP43 infantry fighting vehicle was kicked open before it could stop. The mechanized infantrymen holding AKs, RPDs, RPGs and ammunition bags on their backs immediately rushed out of the vehicle, raised their hands and guns, and headed towards the nearby city gate tower at the commanding heights. He rushed straight up.

Da da da da——

Bang bang bang——

"Whaaaaaaaaaaaaaah!!!"

After a round of firefight and dozens of gunshots, the few remaining Japanese soldiers on the city gate tower were wiped out on the spot.

He was so brave that he dared to stand on the city gate tower and fight with the Red Army with bayonets. Instead, he was killed on the spot by the Red Army soldiers who had cleared the Berlin Hell difficulty dungeon.

He picked up the AK with a bayonet in his hand and hit the Japanese soldier, throwing him directly to the top of the city wall. With a scream of not yet dead, he danced in the air and fell straight down, and then fell to the ground with a bang, blood splattered everywhere.

"Hey! Watch out for the Suka! It almost hit my car!"

A T43A that had just entered the city was almost hit by the "fallen Japanese soldier".

The commander, who was almost hit on the head by the high-altitude object, leaned out of the turret and angrily cursed and punched his comrades who had just climbed the city gate tower. The IS7 that followed into the city was the division commander's command vehicle of Kurbalov.

"Where is our contact person? Where is Chen Weiguo? He should be nearby. Have you found him?!"

Kurbalov, who jumped off the car, wore a tank cap and a tank soldier's fireproof combat uniform. Just looking at this unranked appearance that was in line with Malashenko's combat uniform, it was impossible to tell that he was a major general of the Red Army, but just an ordinary tank soldier.

"We haven't found him yet, comrade division commander. Maybe he is on the way and will arrive soon. I believe in his ability and will not fail."

Alsim, who had just jumped off the tank in an external posture and walked forward quickly, reported to Kurbalov repeatedly, and his words showed his undoubted trust in Chen Weiguo's ability.

Looking at the soldiers who had already deployed their formations and dispersed on the spot, quickly occupying the commanding heights of the main roads and street corners, Kurbalov, who was about to return to the car, just said a simple word.

"Just wait two minutes. If he doesn't come within two minutes, immediately..."

"Hey! Alsim, don't shoot! It's me, Chen Weiguo!"

Kurbalov hadn't finished his words when he heard shouts coming from far away and footsteps coming quickly.

"Don't shoot! It's our people!"

Kurbalov, holding an AK with a bayonet, turned around and immediately ordered the soldiers to be careful of accidental injuries. He raised his hand and punched Chen Weiguo, who was running quickly, on the shoulder.

"Why didn't you even shout the signal for the connection? Do you know that you might be beaten into a hornet's nest? Have you forgotten what I taught you?"

"Sorry! I was late in a hurry and didn't care about so much. I had an accident and got entangled with the devils. Fortunately, I caught up. I shouldn't be late, right?"

"Fortunately, it's not late."

Seeing that the person in charge of the connection had arrived, there was no reason for Kubalov to stay any longer, so he gave an order immediately.

"Target the Japanese headquarters! Those who resist will be killed on the spot. Comrade Army Commander's order is to liberate the county as quickly as possible! Let's go!"

"Yes!"

With Chen Weiguo, who is familiar with the situation in the city, leading the way, the rest of the things will be much easier.

With tanks in front and infantry fighting vehicles following closely, the Red Army, accompanied by the fully armed infantry of the brigade, immediately marched deep into the city. Along the main road in the county that is estimated to be the only one that can allow heavy equipment to pass unimpeded, they headed straight for the old nest of the brigade headquarters left by Morishima Kurone.

"Mom, what a big iron car, I'm scared"

"Daya, mom is here, come in quickly and don't stay outside."

"Oh my God, Dazhuang, what is this? How did the devils get such a big iron car? This, this is almost as big as a small hill."

"Are you blind, you tiger? Look at the red five-pointed star on their heads, this is the Soviet Red Army! The Russians are really here to help us fight the devils! Finally, the wait is over!"

The few devils on the street had already scattered like birds and beasts, and all ran back to the brigade headquarters in the county town to inform the news, preparing to make a final desperate resistance.

The rest of the people who remained on the street were all ordinary people, watching these tall and strong soldiers with live ammunition passing through the street quickly. For a while, there were all kinds of things to say, and there was a lot of discussion, and most of them kept a distance and did not dare to approach.

"Fellow villagers, don't be afraid! These comrades are not Japanese devils, but the Soviet Red Army! They are here to help us eliminate the Japanese devils! Everyone, please stay out of the streets first, the battle is not over yet!"

It is naturally beneficial to have Chen Weiguo, who is familiar with the situation, lead the way.

The few onlookers who were already left were dispersed by Chen Weiguo's words, and they took the initiative to make way for the Red Army. Almost all of them hurried back to their homes with joy and smiles.

A spare AK was taken from the car, and the chest-mounted carrying gear with full magazines was handed to Chen Weiguo. Armed, Alsim, who could not understand Chinese but could understand what Chen Weiguo was doing, spoke up immediately.

"Are the local civilians in a good attitude? Don't treat the Red Army as an enemy, just like those Polish ghosts."

When I first entered Poland, I was often greeted by "Pingdu Town Lu Dabobo" who picked up weapons and treated me like a human being. He beat everyone like a shit stirrer, regardless of whether they were Germans or Soviets, which made the hot-tempered Alsim very angry at the time.

Having heard Alsim talk about this a long time ago, Chen Weiguo, who smiled instead, immediately patted his chest and promised to speak.

"Don't worry, this won't happen. The local people have long been tortured by the Japanese devils and basically welcome the arrival of the Red Army. You will soon experience it."

"I hope so."

Alsim answered casually and continued to lead the team forward. In the command IS7 behind him, Kurbalov, holding the radio, once again emphasized battlefield discipline.

"Attention, all units! Comrade Commander has ordered to avoid harming local civilians as much as possible. I repeat again, all combat units should avoid harming local civilians as much as possible! Do not fire indiscriminately at populated areas, over."

Kurbalov, who repeatedly emphasized the order from Malashenko, strictly controlled his troops, expecting that this quick action would not give the enemy too much time to kidnap civilians.

Under the guidance of Chen Weiguo, they drove through the main road of the city and arrived at the Japanese lair.

I don’t know whether the Japanese were really scared or were planning something else. Kurbalov, who did not encounter any resistance along the way, didn’t care much.

In the face of absolute strength, any conspiracy and tricks can only be performance art that adds to the jokes.

“Listen up, Japanese soldiers inside! You have been surrounded by the Red Army. Hurry up and lay down your weapons and surrender! Strive for leniency from the Red Army. General Malashenko will treat the prisoners well!”

“Those who resist stubbornly will only die. Don’t dream of being cannon fodder for militarism! There is still a chance to turn back now!”

Even if it is a formality, there must be such a process.

Chen Weiguo, holding a large iron loudspeaker, spoke loudly to the courtyard of the Japanese headquarters.

The Red Army, equipped with tanks and infantry fighting vehicles, has surrounded the place. The various tracked combat vehicles that are still coming in an endless stream are almost impossible to get through. "One vehicle every five steps, one tank every ten steps" is the best description of the current scene.

"No movement, it seems that these Japanese devils want to die, how many people are there?"

"There is only one squadron of devils left in the county town, and you just beat them up at the city gate. It is estimated that there are more than 200 devils inside. It won't take too long, the battle can be ended in the time of a cigarette."

Chen Weiguo said it well, all these 200 devils tied up can't beat an IS7. But now they are surrounded by nearly a hundred Red Army tanks and infantry fighting vehicles in three layers inside and outside. If it's not the time to end the battle, then what else can it be?

"200 is too few. Forget it. Everyone has one! Get ready for battle!"

Boom--

Arsim gave the order, and just as he finished speaking, Kulbarov's IS7 command vehicle had already shaken its muzzle, and fired a direct shot with a huge roar, heading straight for the most conspicuous Japanese office building in the yard.

Boom--

The powerful 130mm grenade almost instantly cut off half of the Japanese office building, which was not big to begin with.

In an instant, all kinds of brick and stone debris flew everywhere, along with the Japanese corpses and various furniture debris that were blown out of the building, flying in the air with the flames.

Seeing this scene, Chen Weiguo, who felt it necessary to add another word, raised the horn in his hand again.

"The Japanese soldiers inside, open your eyes and watch! This is just the power of one shell from the Red Army. We can fire hundreds of shells at any time to kill you!"

"Any stubborn resistance is meaningless. Survival or destruction is your own choice! Stop resisting in vain. Lay down your weapons and surrender immediately. This is the only right way!"

After thinking about it, the chapter yesterday was a bit too interrupted, so I specially added more chapters this morning to make up for it for the brothers.

In addition, the evening update is as usual, and there may be more chapters. Thank you for your support.
