Chapter 397 Arsenal!(1/2)
On East Street, the Japanese and puppet troops did not know that the friendly forces on West Street had been completely wiped out.
Under the cover of two machine guns, they fiercely attacked the first battalion. The battle was extremely fierce.
Because the battle was on a narrow street, both sides could not fully deploy their troops and firepower.
You can only fight by attrition, risking your lives to consume the opponent's ammunition and soldiers' lives.
The 1st Battalion was running low on ammunition. If Wei Dayong had not led the special operations battalion to arrive in time, the 1st Battalion would have been able to repel the enemy's charge one or two more times, and would have had no choice but to fight with the enemy.
Wei Dayong looked at the nearby terrain. The Japanese and puppet troops previously occupied the East Street intersection and launched several pincer attacks on the 1st Battalion.
Now that all the Japanese and puppet troops on East Street have been eliminated, the troops can go around from that intersection to behind the Japanese on West Street.
"Old Zhang, you lead people to resist the enemies on West Street first."
Wei Dayong thought for a while and said: "When I take the special operations battalion to stab the enemy in West Street, we will attack the enemy from two sides. First, we will clean up all the enemies on the street, and then we will take down the arsenal!"
Zhang Dabiao said: "Okay, no problem!"
Wei Dayong shouted loudly: "Special Operations Battalion, follow me!"
Immediately, Wei Dayong led the special operations battalion to turn north from the intersection and then detour through Datong Road.
I ran all the way for more than ten minutes before detouring to East Street.
At this time, the 1st Battalion had just repelled the attack of the Japanese and puppet troops and was reorganizing its forces to launch another attack.
The special operations battalion suddenly appeared from behind the Japanese and puppet troops, killing the enemy by surprise.
At the same time, the first battalion, free from worries, rushed out of the bunker under Zhang Dabiao's order to kill the enemy.
Under attack from two sides, the Japanese and puppet troops quickly became disorganized. In less than 3 minutes, more than 300 enemies who attacked the first battalion on East Street were all shot dead.
The whole street was covered with the corpses of Japanese soldiers and puppet soldiers, and the air was filled with the smell of gunpowder smoke and blood.
The Japanese and puppet troops who supported the arsenal were brutally killed.
The Japs from the arsenal in the middle prepared to rush out, but were repelled by a battalion of soldiers at the alley.
Now only the Japs in the arsenal are left.
Wei Dayong just stuck his head out and glanced into the alley.
The Japanese's light and heavy machine gun fire and mountain field artillery fired at him at the same time.
Boom boom boom...
Amidst several violent explosions, the alleyway was instantly enveloped in flames, smoke and bullets.
A shell hit the house opposite, and with a loud bang, the house collapsed instantly.
If he hadn't dodged quickly enough, Wei Dayong might have been directly shot into several pieces by the mountain cannon.
Wei Dayong couldn't help but clicked his tongue. Gou Ri's firepower was indeed powerful enough. No wonder the first battalion failed to attack.
Just after taking a quick look, I saw a battalion of corpses lying in the alley.
If you rush in forcefully, even if the corpses of soldiers fill the entire alley, you may not be able to rush in.
Because this is an arsenal, all kinds of heavy firepower are available, and there is no shortage of bullets and artillery shells.
However, what makes Wei Dayong happy is that it seems that the arsenal can produce mountain artillery and field artillery.
As long as this arsenal can be captured, it will be better than any capture in the past. As long as the Eighth Route Army has the equipment of the arsenal, it will be able to continuously produce weapons!
In order to win the arsenal, no matter how much sacrifice you make, it is worth it.
Just when Wei Dayong was about to order Wang Chengzhu to set up the infantry guns and mortars and fire inward.
Hu Yongqiang, a member of Wang Gensheng's team, carried a radio on his back and bowed to Wei Dayong.
"Report to the Chief of Staff, our two fighter jets are almost here!"
Two radio equipment were seized at Yuncheng Airport, one used by Chen Feng and the other used by Wei Xiaoyong.
The Kamikaze armored train was captured, and there were 2 radio equipment on the armored train. Now there are a total of 4 radio equipment available for use.
Wei Dayong's expression changed and he asked quickly: "Who led the flight formation?"
"It's Huang Erhu from Wang Xikui's team." Hu Yongqiang said, "The two fighter jets each carried two aerial bombs."
Wei Dayong looked slightly happy, he really expected what he expected.
"Tell Huang Erhu that we will use red smoke bombs to guide them later and guide the bombing!"
Hu Yongqiang straightened up: "Yes!"
Zhang Dabiao came up from behind and asked: "Chief of Staff, what is the situation? How are you going to fight?"
"Our plane is coming." Wei Dayong said, "Bomb it with aerial bombs!"
"That's a good relationship." Zhang Dabiao's lips curled up slightly. He had tasted the benefits of air support in Yangquan and Niangziguan.
Wei Dayong asked Wang Chengzhu to set up two Type 97 81mm mortars, adjust them to shoot at Zhu Yuan, and prepare two red smoke bombs at the same time.
After about 5 minutes, the humming and roaring sound of the aircraft motor sounded in my ears.
After waiting for a while, the Zero fighter jets had already arrived over Taiyuan City, and Wei Dayong ordered the firing without hesitation.
Two smoke bombs fell into the alley and exploded near the Japs. Two streams of red smoke dispersed and soon rose into the sky.
While the Japanese were astonished, the two Zero fighter jets found their target and immediately swooped down.
Huang Erhu flew the lead aircraft, and the other one served as a covering wingman.
As an ace pilot, his bomb-dropping accuracy is also frighteningly high.
Entering the bombing position, Huang Erhu pressed the bombing button without hesitation.
The two aerial bombs under the wing instantly broke away from the wing, and with a terrifying scream, they crashed down towards the location of the red smoke bomb.
The aerial bomb drew two arcs in the air, and then landed accurately near the smoke bomb.
Boom boom——
After a moment, two loud noises like heavy cannons suddenly sounded.
An orange mushroom cloud of fire rose up, and finally turned into black smoke, rising up layer by layer.
The soldiers of the nearby Independent Regiment only felt the ground shaking. When the smoke passed, the entire alley was instantly razed to the ground!
This sudden huge explosion made almost everyone in the city look in this direction.
The common people in the city, the fighting soldiers from both sides, the Jinsui Army outside the city, the Eighth Route Army outside the city, and the Japanese military headquarters in the inner city all saw the mushroom cloud rising into the sky.
Outside the west gate, the Shanxi-Sui Army headquarters.
Through the telescope, I saw the black mushroom cloud rising into the sky and the Zero fighter jet in the sky.

"It may not be a Japanese aircraft." Chu Yunfei said, "Don't forget, the Independent Regiment also had air support when they attacked Niangzi Pass."
"That's strange." Fang Ligong frowned slightly, "Where did the Eighth Route Army get the plane?"
Chu Yunfei said: "I went to the Eighth Route Army headquarters for a meeting before, and I heard that Wei Dayong seemed to be responsible for it. I don't know the details."
Fang Ligong's pupils shrank slightly: "This Wei Dayong is becoming more and more difficult to see through. Not only did he acquire heavy artillery, but he also acquired an airplane. It's simply incredible!"
After a pause, Fang Ligong said: "Regiment, the 2nd Battalion has already suffered more than half of its casualties. If we continue to fight, the 2nd Battalion will be gone. The Eighth Route Army must have used heavy artillery to blast a gap in the south city wall. Otherwise, we should enter the city from the south."
Bar."
"In the end, the Eighth Route Army took the lead." Chu Yunfei sighed, "Let the 2nd Battalion withdraw and order the 1st Battalion to go up. Since the Eighth Route Army has already entered the city, it won't take long for them to attack the west wall. By then,
If we cooperate inside and outside, our 358th Regiment can attack the city!"
Fang Ligong straightened up: "Yes!"
…
Before the smoke had completely cleared, Wei Dayong issued the order to attack.
The soldiers of the Special Operations Battalion and the First Battalion stepped on the hot turning stones and rubble. Without the firepower blocking the entrance of the arsenal in the alley, the soldiers entered the arsenal with a single charge.
The dozens of remaining Japs inside were quickly and completely eliminated.
The entrance and exit of the arsenal is very small, but the interior is very large. There are several factory areas. In addition to various weapons manufacturing equipment in the factory, there are also warehouses filled with raw materials for manufacturing weapons.
In addition, there are thousands of skilled workers who manufacture weapons under strict supervision.
Under Wei Dayong's order, the soldiers took control of all factories and workers.
Wei Dayong then used radio to notify the brigade commander and Li Yunlong outside the city that the arsenal had been captured by the special operations battalion and the first battalion.
Another fighter jet dropped two aerial bombs on the city wall, dropped leaflets on the Japanese and puppet troops everywhere, and then flew south.
…
The Japanese military commander, Yoshio Shinozuka, also heard the explosion.
Although there was always the roaring sound of artillery, the explosion of the 50-kilogram aerial bomb was more obvious.
After a while, Rukichi Kasutani walked in and said: "General, I figured it out. It was the China Army that called for air support and dropped two aerial bombs toward the entrance of the arsenal."
