The three of them hastily gathered some flammable items, such as paper, quilts, clothes, and so on. They lit up the main rooms on each floor and chased after the direction in which everyone had retreated.
Smoke began to rise from the Japanese joint command center, and soon it was on fire. Amid the fire, the sound of bullets and grenades exploding could be heard from time to time.
When the suicide squad retreated, they tried their best to bring as much ammunition as possible. They even carried back the light and heavy machine guns and hung as many grenades as possible on their bodies. After all, these were considered " weapons of mass destruction " in the hands of the infantry at that time.
However, there was too much ammunition in the Japanese command center, so they gathered the rest in a room on the second floor and lit it up.
The sporadic explosions were either uncollected or the sporadic explosions of the bullets on the dead Japanese. The real gunpowder barrels had not exploded yet because the flames had not yet ignited.
Not long after they left, another squadron of Japanese reinforcements arrived.
The captain of the Japanese squadron in front saw the arrival of the reinforcements and quickly brought the remaining troops to meet them. He explained the situation to the captain of the Japanese squadron.
The two of them looked at the terrain. After some discussion, they agreed that since the command center had fallen, the officers inside were probably in danger. The most important thing now was to destroy the Chinese army that had occupied the command center as soon as possible.
However, from the failure of the squadron, they knew that not only did the enemy occupy the headquarters, but they also seized the headquarters 'fortifications and weapons.
In this way, a forceful attack would definitely not be effective and would only cause heavy casualties. The only way was to suppress the enemy's firepower with long-range artillery. Only then would his infantry have a chance of charging into the building. Take back the command center.
Therefore, the two of them quickly set up the two 90mm mortars they had brought with them. Just as they were about to fire, they found that the command center was emitting flames and thick smoke. The fire and smoke were getting bigger and bigger, and there were occasional explosions.
In fact, the fire had already started in the command center, but the fire was small, and the rooms that Hao Deshan and the others had lit were all facing away from the gate.
Therefore, the Japanese squadron leader looked from afar and thought that it was the lights inside. Now, as the fire grew bigger and bigger, it spread to the room opposite, and the entire building was on fire.
Most of the houses in that era were made of wood and brick, so the entire house used a large amount of wood. Now, once these wood was ignited, it would form a raging fire.
Especially the roof, which was made of wood. After burning, it collapsed under the pressure of the tiles on it. Without a roof, the house was like a huge furnace, with flames shooting into the sky.
The two squadrons were shocked. Of course, they knew that there were a lot of documents, communication equipment, and so on in the command center.
Although it had been occupied by the enemy, it should not have been completely destroyed in such a short period of time. Therefore, they had to rush into the command center immediately and snatch those important documents and equipment.
It should be said that the Japanese soldiers were very responsible. Therefore, the two of them discussed briefly and led their subordinates to the command center.
However, when he was still a few dozen meters away from the command building, he heard the sound of explosions and the sound of bullets.
Immediately after, a cluster of bullets flew out of the window of a room on the second floor like a swarm of locusts. A few soldiers running in front bumped into the 'locusts', and immediately fell to the ground.
Following the explosion, the floor of the building immediately collapsed. As a result, a gust of wind blew up and flames immediately shot up again, directly illuminating half of the sky red.
The explosion and flames alarmed the entire Taierzhuang. All the Japanese soldiers in the village were stunned as they watched the fire. They naturally knew what that place was.
In the building outside the north gate of Taierzhuang, Major General Setani of the 33rd Brigade of the Japanese Infantry Division 10 was also staring blankly at the fire. To be exact, he was staring blankly at the sky that was dyed red by the fire.
More than half an hour ago, he received an emergency call for help, saying that the Chinese army was attacking the frontline joint command center and requesting reinforcements.
Major General Segu Kai didn't know whether to laugh or cry when he saw the emergency distress message.
This was the exploration team headquarters, not a combat unit. The largest single-arm combat unit in the Japanese army was the United Army, and their own decisions had to be implemented through the United Army.
But now, it was the regiment command requesting for help. What should he do?
The Japanese army that entered Taierzhuang had two regiments, an infantry regiment and an artillery regiment.
As most of the buildings in the village had been destroyed, only the "municipal government" was basically intact. Moreover, it was also in the depths of the Japanese occupied area.
Therefore, the two regiments placed their headquarters here. In addition, since they were fighting in the streets after entering Taierzhuang, they couldn't use large groups. The combat units in the village were based on squadrons.
Therefore, the brigade level command center was set up in this building.
This was the origin of the joint command.
But now, this joint command had been destroyed and turned into a sea of fire.
There was no news from all the captains and regimental commanders. Who should he give his orders to?
It was obviously unrealistic to mobilize reinforcements from outside the village. By the time they arrived, it would probably be after noon tomorrow.
But how were they going to move the troops in the village? The regimental commander requested for help, but the captain was nowhere to be seen. The troops had already split up into squadrons, so they could only mobilize these squadrons.
However, the problem before the major general was how to command and mobilize these squadrons.
He was the regiment commander of a major general's regiment, yet he had to personally command those squadrons.
Even if there were no problems, he had no idea where these squadrons were deployed and what their mission was. Besides, how to give the order to them was an unsolvable problem.
Major General Segu was pacing back and forth in the headquarters, but he couldn't think of any good ideas. He felt like he had fallen into a strange circle.
His subordinates had asked him for help, but he could only order the person who asked for help to help him. In other words, he could only order the person to help him. However, if they could help him, why would they ask him for help?
