At six o'clock on the morning of November 24th, the Japanese army launched a full-scale attack on Wuxing City.
At the foot of the mountain, the brothers of the 1st Battalion of the 1053rd Regiment had already occupied the advantageous positions in the northwest and northeast of the ancient city wall. The south city wall had long been destroyed and there was no gate. It was just a pocket to let the enemy in. The commander of the 1st Battalion, Li Jie, ordered that there was no bunker or any fortification. The brothers who were lying in ambush in the northwest and northeast were lying in the city wall. They did not show their heads and did not make any noise. Everything was as usual, so that the enemy would think that there was no national army guarding here.
At about 6 o'clock, Gu Shoufu led the 6th Division of the Japanese army to rush straight to Wuxing City. They wanted to take down Wuxing City in one fell swoop, but the Golden Gai Mountain blocked their way. There was a small mountain on the right side of the Golden Gai Mountain, and there was a small city at the foot of the mountain. Gu Shoufu thought, First take down this small city, then wait for an opportunity to attack the Golden Gai Mountain, destroy the national army of the Golden Gai Mountain, and then drive straight into Wuxing County. At that time, Wuxing County would be the world of our Imperial Army. We can do whatever we want. Gu Shoufu drooled when he thought of this.
Gu Shoufu took out his binoculars and looked at the city. The south of the small city was undefended, and there was no sign of the Chinese army in other directions.
"Yuxi is an empty city. Lord Xiaye, pass down the order to prepare to enter the city.”Gu Shoufu smiled brightly.
" Be careful of the empty city stratagem. During the Three Kingdoms Era…" Chief of Staff Xiano Yihuo had to remind him.
"I know, I'm not Sima Yi, and the Celestial army is not Zhuge Liang. Don't talk nonsense, get ready to enter the city!”Gu Shoufu immediately interrupted. He was headstrong and did not listen to other people's advice.
Thus, the Japanese army marched into the city.
Battalion Commander Li crouched in the city wall and observed the movements of the Japanese army through the observation hole under the battlements. Seeing that the Japanese army had almost entered, he gave the order to "fight". The brothers of the 1st Battalion immediately climbed up from the city wall, placed their guns on the battlements of the city wall, and opened fire at the enemy group together. The Japanese devils were hit and fell down in pain. The other devils quickly raised their guns and returned fire. The two sides fought fiercely, but because our side was in a high position and suddenly attacked, the Japanese suffered heavy casualties. He had no choice but to retreat.
"Baka, what kind of army is this? They know how to scheme. Xiaxi, Xiaye Jun, didn't you say that Zhuge Liang didn't have any soldiers in the empty city stratagem? Why did so many soldiers of the Celestial Empire suddenly appear here?”Gu Shoufu was furious.
"Lieutenant General, the culture of the Celestial Empire is extensive and profound, and Sun Tzu's Art of War is even more profound. There is no fixed pattern in war, and there is no fixed method in war. The battlefield is ever-changing, and the 36 stratagems cannot be applied mechanically.”Ichiho explained.
"What bullsh * t art of war? What bullsh * t 36 stratagems? I don't believe that I can't blow you up. I only believe in planes, tanks, cannons, and mortars.”Gu Shoufu revealed his true appearance as a devil major general and shouted hysterically.
Mortar shells flew toward the city without hesitation, and the city was instantly turned into a sea of fire.
After the bombardment, the Japanese army launched a crazy attack. They took up machine guns and shot at the city wall. Our soldiers suffered a lot of casualties. However, the brothers of the 1st Battalion fought to the death without fear. The Japanese took out a melon grenade from his waist, knocked it on his helmet, and threw it fiercely at the city wall. The city wall immediately burst into flames, and our soldiers suffered heavy casualties. Battalion Commander Li was also covered in dust. Fortunately, he was not injured. He felt that the situation was very unfavorable. He decisively ordered," Retreat!”
The brothers threw grenades at the enemy. With a loud bang, a large number of devils were blown up, and smoke rose. The brothers took the opportunity to withdraw from the city and retreat to Mount Jingai to meet the main force of the 1053rd Regiment.
On the left side of Mount Jingai, the brothers of the 2nd Battalion of the 1053rd Regiment fought fiercely with the enemy all night. The next morning, the Japanese army continued to launch a crazy attack, and the two sides fought fiercely.
Gu Shoufu led the Japanese army's 6th division to occupy the city. After resting for a while, they launched a fierce attack on the 1053rd regiment's position at the southern foot of Mount Jingai.
The Japanese army attacked from both front and back. The 1053 regiment was attacked from both sides on Mount Jingai. The situation was grim, but the brothers were brave and fearless. They still tried their best to stop them.
Outside the western gate, the 1027th and 1037th regiments occupied Renwang Mountain and Huanglong Cave, which were also fiercely attacked by the Japanese army.
Outside the north gate, the remnants of the 1028th Regiment and 1044th Regiment were also attacked by the Japanese.
Outside the east gate, Commander Wei Jiansen led the 1043rd Regiment to confront the Japanese army.
The four gates of Wuxing County and the city were heavily bombarded by Japanese planes. The Japanese army transferred more than 30 planes to hover over Wuxing. Wherever they went, they dropped countless bombs, causing bursts of smoke. The sound of explosions rose and fell, making people fearful and horrified.
Outside the east gate, Suematsu Shigeharu transferred armored vehicles and tanks in an attempt to break through the east gate.
Regiment Commander Wei led the 1043rd Regiment to use the city walls as cover to shoot at the Japanese soldiers near the East Gate. As the Japanese infantry hid behind armored vehicles or tanks, it was difficult to hit them. The bullets hit the steel plates of the armored vehicles and tanks, and the armored vehicles aimed at the national army on the city walls. The bullets hit the bricks on the city walls, and some of the soldiers were injured or killed in time. The Japanese tanks aimed at the city wall and fired. Some shells hit the bottom of the city wall or the wall. With a few loud noises, the city wall was relatively strong and not damaged. Some shells fell on the city wall. With a few loud noises, some brothers were injured or killed.
Regiment Commander Wei was helpless in the face of such a situation. He was scratching his ears and cheeks trying to think of a solution when a brother of Regiment 1044 ran over.
"Commander Wei, I have an idea. Our regiment participated in the Battle of Ascending Mountain and witnessed how the Fei Long brothers dealt with the Japanese armored vehicles and tanks.”
"The fire is already burning your eyebrows. Why aren't you saying anything?”Commander Wei was impatient.
" First, use the heavy machine gun to shoot at the square turret of the armored vehicle. There's a lookout at the turret. Shoot at this point. As long as the bullets enter the turret, they will burn at a high temperature. This way, the armored vehicle will be destroyed. Once the armored vehicle is taken care of, the tank will lose its protection. At this time, you can send a suicide squad to approach the tank, climb up the tank, open the turret cover, and throw the cluster bombs in. This way, the tank will be destroyed.”
"Alright, you're right. I'll organize the machine gunners and suicide squads. You explain the specific action plan to them.”
Regiment Commander Wei ordered the machine gunners to gather and aim at the armored vehicles. He also ordered the more agile soldiers to form a suicide squad, each holding a bundle of grenades in their hands, waiting for orders at the east gate of the city wall.
The machine guns of the Japanese armored vehicles were still firing, and the tanks were still firing. The situation was extremely dangerous.
"Machine Gunners, get ready. Aim at the nearest armored vehicle and shoot!”Commander Wei ordered.
Our heavy machine gunners aimed at the watchtower of the armored vehicle and fired. A moment later, thick smoke rose from the tower of the Japanese armored vehicle and then it caught fire. The Japanese in the armored vehicle did not have time to open the back door to escape and were burned alive inside.
Our heavy machine gunners changed their angle and used the same method on another Japanese armored vehicle to make it useless.
In the time it took for a pack of cigarettes, six Japanese armored vehicles were scrapped.
The armored vehicles were scrapped, but the Japanese tanks were still firing. They did not learn from their failure in the Battle of Ascending Mountain, so the outcome was destined.
"Open the city gate, the suicide squad! Brothers, cover me!" Commander Wei ordered.
The brothers of the 1043rd Regiment fired desperately at the Japanese hiding behind the tank. The Japanese did not dare to show themselves.
The suicide squad carried the cluster bombs and rushed straight to the Japanese tanks. The six tanks were opened by the members of the suicide squad and were thrown into several bundles of cluster bombs. With a series of loud noises, the six Japanese tanks were blown apart and could not move.
The brothers of the 1043rd regiment rushed out of the east gate and charged at the Japanese army like a tiger descending the mountain. The Japanese army did not have the protection of armored vehicles and tanks, so they had to retreat.
After the brothers of the 1043rd Regiment chased for a while, they were afraid that there would be an ambush, so they stopped chasing. They returned to the east gate wall and closed the east gate. The brothers cheered. Just as Commander Wei was feeling happy, a soldier stationed at the south gate suddenly came to report that the south gate was in an emergency. Outside the south gate, the Japanese army also had several armored vehicles and tanks stepping up the siege.
"Machine Gunners, suicide squad, follow me and support the south gate!”Commander Wei ordered.
