Originally, they thought that they could maintain a long entanglement and then delay the other party.
However, the current situation of the battle did not change at all. They were still quickly defeated!
In fact, their idea was not bad, but they had found the wrong opponent.
Although the Xia Army did not have a complete set of weapons for street fighting, such as mortars and rocket launchers, they were equipped with a large number of machine guns and submachine guns. These things were very effective in close-range street fighting!
Although the Japanese were not afraid of death, their rifles were no match for submachine guns in this environment.
Hence, they were miserable!
Even though their spear techniques were better, the Xia Family Army would not compete with them.
Once they encountered it, they would immediately be bombarded with cannonballs and bullets. They did not care about the samurai spirit at all!
If tanks and infantry were unable to destroy the enemy's fortifications, then they would use dive-bomber precision bombing.
After this series of punches, the Japanese's tactic of fighting step by step lost its effect. Instead, it made the Xia Army more experienced and faster.
After thinking for a long time, Shimizu finally decided to change his battle method.
"Order all the troops to retreat into the houses if they are no match for them. We must fight them to the end!”
His idea was similar to guerrilla warfare. Anyway, instead of fighting head-on the streets, let's play hide-and-seek!
Thus, on the streets, the Xia Army began to advance faster.
"Battalion Commander, the situation doesn't seem right! Why was the resistance from the Japanese not as strong as before?”
"Is that so?"
"Yes, Battalion Commander, just now, it took a lot of effort to destroy them, but they actually took the initiative to completely separate. This is different from their previous habits!”
"Oh, they must be trying to gather their forces!”
The officers at the lower ranks did not have much experience and could not see any danger in these situations, so no one chose to report it.
half an hour later
"Those damn Japanese, they actually came to play dirty with us!”
"Battalion Commander, what should we do? In just a short while, we've already lost more than a dozen brothers!”
"How would I know? F * ck, everyone gather together first. Don't get separated and give the devils an opportunity. I'll report it first!”
Long Zhenxiong had only just received their detailed information, but the news was not satisfactory.
"These idiots, who the f * ck told them to make their own decisions? Trash!"
" Alright," the Chief of Staff, Colonel Nie Hai, advised." Now is not the time to be angry. Let's quickly determine and adjust the battle plan!"”
Long Zhenxiong said," The Japanese are really cunning. We don't have more infantry now, and they can't take care of so many places."
After the Japanese hid in the houses, we couldn't search for them for the time being.
However, if we choose to search for them, then the speed of the battle will slow down, and it will be as they want!
This is really a difficult choice!"
"Commander, although the other party's method is a bit sinister, our occupation speed has also increased." Nie Hai said. Why don't we risk more casualties and speed up the occupation first? Then, we can slowly clean it up?”
Long Zhenxiong shook his head and retorted,"Although this is a bit of a pity, the military doctor hasn't arrived yet! If you suffer too many casualties, how will you explain it to the marshal?”
"Oh…do we really have to take it slow?”
"Haha, this is what your chief of staff should be thinking about!”Long Zhenxiong looked at him with an evil smile.
Nie Hai saw his expression and knew that he already had an idea. He quickly said,"Alright, my Great Commander, a life is at stake now. Don't keep me in suspense!”
Long Zhenxiong suddenly said with a serious expression,"We will send more armored troops in, and use tanks to block and patrol all the occupied streets. The other troops will continue to occupy quickly!
After we have completely occupied it, we will divide the area and slowly clear it!”
Nie Hai thought for a moment and nodded in agreement,"What a good 'you fight your way, I'll fight mine!
Their bullets couldn't penetrate the armor. As long as they show themselves, our tanks will be able to deal with them.
"If they continue to endure, we can slowly eliminate them after we completely occupy them!”
"Exactly! Although the tanks were not enough to deal with the rebels, they could at least temporarily maintain the situation!”
The two of them had made up their minds and immediately sent more armored troops into the city to assist the attacking forces in maintaining the situation.
This was much better. The Japanese's guerrilla tactics could not deal with these tanks. They could only continue to wait or fight with the tanks.
When Xia Zilong found out about this later, he felt lucky!
It was not wrong of them to do this, but it just so happened that the other party did not have a weapon like a rocket launcher. Otherwise, their losses would be even greater!
Rocket launchers were very powerful in urban warfare. Whether it was to destroy tanks or obstacles, they were very powerful.
If the enemy was equipped with rocket launchers, then sending a large number of tanks in would be like sending a target to the enemy!
However, the Japanese didn't have such weapons at all. They were only equipped with light and heavy machine guns, infantry cannons, and grenades. They could deal with other armies with less advanced weapons, but they couldn't deal with the Xia Army.
Shimizu Yoshigata quickly reacted, but it was already useless.
They had already lost two-thirds of the city's territory, leaving only a small area around the command center. The sound of gunfire was very clear.
He felt a little regretful and confused.
Why was it that when the imperial army attacked other cities with the same tactics, they suffered huge casualties, but it did not work for him?
One move was bad, and the whole game was lost. This was the situation they were in.
After an intense battle, by four or five o'clock in the afternoon, the only place left for the Japanese to resist was the command center. The other places had basically been occupied.
After Long Zhenxiong received the news, he immediately ordered the bomber to bomb their headquarters.
"Motherf * cker, why are we still fighting them slowly? Do you think I'm stupid?”
A series of aerial bombs were thrown into the command post, and the building collapsed. Even the nearby houses were almost affected.
The infantrymen then rushed in and finally dug out the lieutenant general and a bunch of major generals from the ruins.
