At this moment, the sun was setting in the west. The sun shone from the distant west onto the west gate of the Tiger Pavilion stronghold and the city wall.
The city gate and the devil guards on duty instinctively lowered their heads or turned around.
To a certain extent, this provided a natural cover for Zhang Dabiao and the assault team.
Not long after, Zhang Dabiao led more than a hundred commandos to a place about 500 meters away from the west gate.
He hid behind a bush.
Chen Liang also commanded the main force to advance about two kilometers forward, hiding behind the assault team.
While the artillery company was building an artillery position, Chen Liang commanded three soldiers to carry an anti-aircraft machine gun in front of him.
They were less than a thousand meters away from the west gate, which was within the effective range of the anti-aircraft machine guns.
Chen Liang had three soldiers act as his secondary shooters. He was prepared to personally operate the machine gun to suppress the Japanese at the west gate of the stronghold.
Not long after, the artillery company was ready.
With Chen Liang's order, the ten 75mm howitzers roared at the same time.
Whoosh whoosh…Ten high-explosive grenades whizzed past Chen Liang and the others at high speed.
Then, it accurately hit the west gate of the Tiger Pavilion Stronghold.
Boom! Dozens of soldiers at the west gate were blasted into pieces and screamed in pain.
Xiu xiu xiu…rumble…rumble!
After three rapid shots, the entire west gate of Huting Stronghold was blasted into a sea of fire. The soldiers guarding the gate didn't have time to dodge and were almost killed.
Seeing that the cannon's effect was unexpectedly good, Chen Liang directly ordered a soldier beside him,""Blow the charge horn, charge the entire team!"
With the loud and clear sound of the charge horn, Zhang Dabiao took the lead and stood up from the bushes. He held a brand-new light machine gun and roared at the top of his voice,"Commando team, follow me!"
After saying that, he fired while leading the charge forward.
"Charge!"
"Kill!" Hundreds of commandos armed with Thomas submachine guns and light machine guns roared and followed him.
Chen Liang saw that the devils on the city wall had already been blown to pieces, and there were very few left.
He handed the machine gun in front of him to a soldier beside him.
Pulling out his Mauser pistol, he raised his arm and shouted,""Comrades, charge with me!"
Charge!
Kill!
Hundreds of soldiers from the 1st and 2nd Battalions followed him and charged towards the west gate.
As the artillery fire of the Independent Regiment was too fierce, there were basically not many Japanese left at the west gate of the stronghold.
In the face of the powerful assault firepower of 70 Thomas submachine guns and dozens of light machine guns of the Soviet Republic.
The few Japanese who were lucky enough to not be killed did not even have the chance to fight back.
They were riddled with bullets.
The assault team led by Zhang Dabiao rushed over the suspension bridge and entered the city gate at lightning speed.
They easily took control of the west gate of the stronghold and the nearby city walls. They quickly set up machine guns against the city walls and gates.
Inside the stronghold, the Japanese army headquarters.
Sasaki, who was already drunk, was awakened by the sudden attack and staggered to his feet.
As soon as he left the command post, he bumped into a second lieutenant who came to report.
"Baka!" "What's going on?" Sasaki shouted. Where are you going to shoot?"
Second Lieutenant Gui Zi said in panic," Sir, it's not good. It's the west gate. The west gate has been bombarded by unidentified armed forces!"”
Time was of the essence, and the second lieutenant didn't know that the west gate had already been taken down by the independent regiment.
"Baka!" Sasaki was furious when he heard this. He was also more than half sober and immediately pulled out his sword.
"Gather the troops and follow me to the west gate!”
When Chen Liang, Shen Quan, and the rest led the main force of the Independent Regiment to charge into the west gate…
Coincidentally, Lieutenant Sasaki led over 200 hastily assembled stronghold guards and rushed over after hearing the news.
The two sides met head-on. The assault team members who had set up machine guns on the west gate were the first to open fire.
Dozens of light machine guns opened fire at the same time, forming a dense net of fire.
Chen Liang also ordered the main force to open fire. Hundreds of semi-automatic rifles, submachine guns, and other weapons also began to fire.
Tens of thousands of bullets rained down on Sasaki's reinforcements.
In just a single exchange, dozens of Japanese were caught off guard and fell to the ground, screaming in pain.
"Brothers, charge in and exterminate this bunch of Japanese bastards!”Chen Liang stood at the city gate, raising his gun and firing while roaring with bloodshot eyes.
Under his orders, Zhang Dabiao, Shen Quan, and the other capable generals led the charge.
Relying on the powerful fire net formed by dozens of light machine guns on the city wall, hundreds of soldiers of the Independent Regiment opened up a path with submachine guns and semi-automatic rifles.
They fought to be the first to charge into the stronghold.
Sasaki and his reinforcements did not have any strength to fight back at all.
They fell like weeds under the fierce and powerful firepower of the independent regiment.
In less than 10 minutes, the 200-plus Japanese reinforcements were all wiped out on the road inside the stronghold.
Sasaki was hit by dozens of bullets and turned into a bloody sieve.
The battle ended very quickly. The independent regiment wiped out more than 300 defenders of the Tiger Pavilion stronghold and won a complete victory.
It was unprecedented for the independent regiment to annihilate so many Japanese soldiers in such a carefree manner.
Therefore, after the battle ended, the morale of the entire regiment was high and thunderous cheers sounded.
Chen Liang immediately instructed Shen Quan and Zhang Dabiao,""Clean up the battlefield immediately and take away all the resources the enemy has hoarded.
The corpses of the devils were all beheaded and hung on the city wall.
We have to retreat before the enemy's reinforcements arrive!”
"Yes, sir!" The two of them agreed and immediately took action.
Chen Liang held Sasaki's sword and climbed up the east gate of the stronghold. He said excitedly,""Next, we can calmly recruit new soldiers, expand the army, and expand the fields!”
