The Japanese's fortifications were located at the end of a street. There were houses on both sides of the street. Needless to say, the windows and roofs of those houses were all fired by the Japanese.
There was only one reason why Hao Deshan chose this place as a breakthrough point, and that was that it was easy to run.
As long as they successfully attacked the fortifications at the entrance of the street, they could advance deeper along the street, and the firing points on the two houses on both sides of the street would be useless.
Of course, this was a main street with countless small streets and alleys on both sides. They could hide at any time. If he broke into the encirclement and caused a huge commotion, it would be impossible for the Japanese not to come out to intercept and encircle him.
Therefore, these small streets and alleys were the depth of his battle with the Japanese and the passage to save his life.
Today was the third day of the third month of the lunar calendar. Although the weather was good, the moon was only a little bigger than the bean sprouts. Therefore, the night was very dark, but it also brought convenience to the actions of the suicide squad.
Since Hao Deshan wanted to personally destroy the street fortification of the Japanese, it would be inconvenient for Zhao Daquan and Gou Wanzi, two rookies, to follow him. Therefore, he handed them over to a team leader called Old Zhang to " entrust " them.
"You guys follow Old Zhang for the time being. Come and find me after you rush over."”
When Hao Deshan was about 30 meters away from the Japanese fortifications, he suddenly jumped up. The two Japanese in the fortifications were shocked and subconsciously shouted," Who is it?"
However, she only felt her mouth go numb and could not say anything. However, in their last consciousness, they heard two gunshots.
The gunshots were an order. The other dare-to-die squads behind Hao Deshan also sprung up at once as they carried Thomas and swept towards the firing points on the buildings on both sides.
Hao Deshan fired two more shots to clear the Japanese in the fortifications, and then continued to rush forward. The main force of the suicide squad, under the cover of Thomas's fire, quickly rushed across the street and disappeared into the darkness behind Hao Deshan.
The suicide squad of the six finished a magazine and followed behind the main force, disappearing without a trace.
In a building outside the north gate of Taierzhuang, Major General Setani, the commander of the 33rd Brigade of the Japanese Infantry Division 10, had not rested yet.
It had been ten days since he launched his attack on Taierzhuang on March 24th.
However, what terrified him was that in ten days, he had mobilized 2,000 troops, accompanied by the support of aircraft and tanks, but he could not even take down a small Taierzhuang.
It was not until the 29th that they managed to occupy most of the region, but the South Pass area was still unconquered. This made him extremely angry.
Now, he was lying in front of the map, carefully studying the current battle situation.
Taierzhuang was located at the intersection of the Taizao branch of Jinpu Road and the Taiwei Road. It was on the north bank of the Beijing-Hangzhou Grand Canal and held the throat of the canal. It was the gateway to Xuzhou and had been a battleground since ancient times.
This time, the main camp's intention was to occupy Taierzhuang, open the northern gate of Xuzhou, and attack Xuzhou with the Japanese army from the south to the north. After communicating with the northern and southern battlefields, they would then plan to advance westward.
As the main attacking force of Taierzhuang. It was supposed to be an honor bestowed upon him by His Majesty the Emperor, but who would have thought that the defenders here would be so tenacious? Not only did they make him lose face, but they were also dragged here.
What was even more serious was that on the 31st, due to his poor progress, he had delayed the opportunity to fight, allowing the Chinese army to win time and complete their deployment. Now, he was completely surrounded by the Chinese army, which was several times larger than him.
Just as the sky was about to turn dark, the 10th division's major general, Lieutenant General Isotani Renjie, had called to give him a harsh scolding and ordered him to occupy Taierzhuang tomorrow no matter what.
The current situation was that if they couldn't take down Taierzhuang and eliminate the defenders, then the entire 10th division would be caught in a pincer attack from the Chinese army and face the possibility of being completely wiped out.
The major general's words weren't sensational.
A few days ago, in view of his unfavorable progress in Taierzhuang, Major General Shun of the 21st Infantry Brigade of the 5th Division was ordered to move from Linyi to Taierzhuang to reinforce him. However, on the 31st, he was besieged by the 52nd and 75th Armies of the 20th Army of the National Army in Xiangcheng.
Up until today, they had also suffered heavy losses. It was obvious that there was no hope of helping him. Therefore, his only choice now was to take down Taierzhuang as soon as possible and eliminate the defenders in the village. Then, he would defend and wait for reinforcements. Otherwise, he would face a disaster.
Major General Segu Kai redeployed his troops. The most important thing was to cancel the attack scheduled for dusk so that the soldiers could have a good rest. Then, at dawn the next day, they would launch a final attack on the defenders of the village.
The major general's orders were very strict. Tomorrow's attack would be the final battle. All the troops would be concentrated, leaving no reserves. Everyone was not allowed to retreat. The major general would personally lead the supervision team to supervise the battle. Anyone who retreated would be killed without mercy.
The Major General's idea was that rather than being surrounded and annihilated by the national army outside the village, it would be better to fight to the death inside the village.
As long as they eliminated the garrison troops in the village and completely occupied Taierzhuang, then with the combat strength of their exploration team, they believed that the Chinese army would not be able to do anything to them in a short period of time.
After all, he still had a powerful air force to rely on. This way, he could buy time and wait for further reinforcements.
As for canceling the attack before dusk today, it was because his soldiers were too tired. After fighting for ten days without night and day, even iron men would not be able to withstand it.
Therefore, he wanted them to have a good night's rest and conserve their energy for tomorrow's final battle.
As for the Chinese army guarding the manor, the major general estimated that they should be at the end of their rope. After all, his soldiers could still take turns to fight for ten days, and there were no problems with logistics.
However, it was impossible for the Chinese army in the village to have such good conditions. In the past ten days, they had been suppressed by him. They had already suffered heavy casualties. The so-called death squads that they had organized had been destroyed by him one after another.
Now, there were probably not many people left who could hold a gun.
It was already 10:30 PM on the 3rd of April. It was dark outside, but it was very quiet.
After so many days, it was rare to have such a quiet night. His soldiers had already rested early, and the other party had not made any movements. He should be too tired to crawl.
The major general was carefully thinking about tomorrow's operation when he heard two gunshots from outside. The gunshots came from the southeast direction of the village. In the quiet night sky, it sounded particularly mournful.
