At this moment, the Japanese soldiers in Huting Stronghold had been bombarded by the powerful artillery of the Independent Regiment. They had suffered heavy casualties and their morale had fallen to the bottom.
Especially when the Independent Regiment attacked, they had the anti-aircraft machine guns of the air defense camp and the powerful fire protection of the tank company.
The surviving Japanese were suppressed to the point where they could not resist at all.
Therefore, the assault troops led by Zhang Dabiao, Wei Dayong, and the others were almost unhindered.
He easily rushed to the blockade ditch outside the stronghold and did not wait for the soldiers to lay the wooden planks that they had prepared in advance.
Wei Da Yong used the momentum of his run-up to leap and was the first to jump over the blockade ditch that was several meters wide.
Holding the submachine gun, he rushed up to the collapsed city gate of the stronghold. Standing on top of it, he faced the remaining Japanese soldiers and fired fiercely.
Zhang Dabiao, a group of guards, and the soldiers of the reconnaissance company also quickly crossed the blockade.
Following Wei Da Yong, they swarmed in from the gaps in the collapsed city walls and attacked the Tiger Pavilion Stronghold.
Shen Quan, Sun Desheng, and the others also quickly led the soldiers of the Second and Third Battalions and rushed in.
The soldiers of the Independent Regiment, who were all equipped with Thomas submachine guns and Garand semi-automatic rifles, were like autumn leaves being swept away by the autumn wind.
They quickly swept through the entire Huting Stronghold. Wherever they went, the Japanese were all shot into a sieve by the dense and powerful firepower and fell one after another.
The soldiers of the artillery and air defense battalions quickly filled up a portion of the blockade.
It paved the way for the tank company and their military trucks to advance.
After that, Chen Liang bid farewell to Ding Wei and Kong Jie, who were stunned on the spot. He commanded the tank company, air defense battalion, and other troops to move forward.
The 12 Sherman tanks rumbled as they entered the Huting outpost where the battle was nearing its end.
They watched as Chen Liang led his army into the smoke-filled and fiery Huting Stronghold.
Ding Wei was the first to recover from his shock. He said to Kong Jie, who was also shocked,""Old Kong, how long has Old Li been grounded?
The independent regiment had actually become so powerful. This Chen Liang might have done more than Old Li!”
"Isn't that so?" Kong Jie also came back to his senses and said with envy,"Old Li is lucky. If he comes back from his confinement and sees that his troops have become so powerful, he will be able to defeat the enemy.
That tail (yi) can't wait to fly to the sky?!”
At this moment, Zhang Dabiao, Wei Dayong, and the others had already led their troops to clear out most of the defenders in Tiger Pavilion.
Only less than a hundred frightened devils escaped from the stronghold in a panic.
Coincidentally, Chen Liang arrived at this time with his tank company and other troops.
After learning that a small group of Japanese had escaped, he did not say much.
He immediately ordered the 12 Sherman tanks to speed up and give chase.
Naturally, the Japanese soldiers couldn't outrun the Sherman tanks, which were traveling at a speed of 38 kilometers per hour.
Not long after, Chen Liang, who was sitting on the tank, saw the group of fleeing Japanese.
He immediately controlled the heavy machine gun in front of him and started firing at some of the Japanese.
Da da da…along with the deafening sound of gunfire.
A dazzling tongue of fire shot out from the muzzle, turning into a dense hail of bullets.
It whistled and shot towards the Japanese.
Puff, puff, puff…The bullets hit several Japanese from behind. They screamed and fell to the ground one after another.
The machine gunners on the other tanks also opened fire.
Other than that, the tank cannons also roared.
Under the combined attack of the powerful machinegun firepower of the tank company and the fierce tank artillery fire, the two of them were defeated.
Nearly a hundred Japanese deserters were quickly wiped out.
The battle had just ended. Zhang Dabiao, Wei Dayong, and the rest had also brought their main battalions to catch up.
Together with the tanks.
Chen Liang didn't stop and immediately led them towards Ping An County.
This was because the Independent Regiment now had enough military trucks, and the entire regiment could move mechanically.
Therefore, Chen Liang soon led his troops to the city.
This was the second time he had led his troops to this point, but Chen Liang was not too excited.
He raised his binoculars and looked around. Indeed, he found that the Japanese soldiers on the city wall were moving. Their guns were sharp and they were clearly on guard.
Remembering Ding Wei's previous words, Chen Liang decided to end the battle quickly. Before the arrival of the Japanese reinforcements, he would break into Peace City and destroy all the Japanese soldiers in the city.
Thus, he ordered his troops to disperse and prepare to attack.
He quietly entered the system's exchange store and opened the cannon page.
He found a type of artillery that could immediately greatly increase the firepower of the Independent Regiment and deal a devastating blow to the defenders-the Katyusha rocket launcher.
As everyone knew, this rocket launcher, which had shone brilliantly in the middle and late stages of World War II and even on the Korean battlefield, had a caliber of 132mm and was extremely powerful.
In less than ten seconds, all sixteen 132mm rockets could be fired in one volley.
Its range of attack and intensity of firepower were unparalleled.
It had dealt a heavy blow to the German army in World War II and the 17-nation coalition led by the US Army in the Korean War. It was a nightmarish existence.
If this rocket launcher was used to deal with the Japanese army, its firepower was far inferior to that of the German and American troops.
Chen Liang had absolute confidence that he could defeat the Pingan garrison and take down the city within half an hour!
