I, the director of the clothing factory, have unlimited soldiers!

Chapter 167: 2 The Japs surrendered?

The moment the wall collapsed,

The Guards Regiment has already laid the foundation for victory. Being surrounded by enemies on all sides is no joke.

The main forces of the guard regiment are sweeping the four city gates. The enemies hiding in the Ninghai defense line will have no way to escape and will all be destroyed!

"Yes!"

"Yes!"

The captain of the first and second companies quickly followed Xu Wudi's orders and dispersed to approach the city gates on both sides.

As for the reconnaissance battalion,

The natural thing was to advance towards the center of the county town, using the personnel who had been ambushed in the alleys to guide them. Although street fighting was not the strong point of the reconnaissance battalion,

But street fighting was also mentioned in the training of the Guards Regiment, so while they advanced cautiously, they were also wary of the enemy's dying struggle.

Urban street fighting,

The key is to advance quickly and not give the enemy time to deploy defenses. Because the streets are narrow, we often encounter the enemy's final counterattack, and no one knows whether there is an enemy ambush around the corner ahead.

So for safety,

The commander of the reconnaissance battalion had only one sentence:

To prevent unnecessary sacrifices, if you suspect there is an enemy ambush ahead, throw two grenades to explore the way!

however,

Although this approach increased battlefield consumption, it also avoided more dangers.

"Captain!"

As the reconnaissance battalion and the second battalion broke through the county town, the soldiers quickly came to the temporary command post to report.

"Captain, the reconnaissance battalion has led its troops to advance towards the county town, and the second battalion has also dispersed to encircle the east and west gates. Quickly penetrate the two gates and support the teams on both sides!"

After listening to the soldiers' reports, the leaders present were all ecstatic. At this point, the battle was basically won.

If it weren't for the breakthrough of the defense line,

The enemy did have the advantage of terrain, and without heavy artillery, it was very likely that they would have been able to hold out, and even a twelve-hour delay would not have been impossible.

but now,

They had heavy artillery.

The last line of defense on which the enemy relied for survival was ruthlessly blasted into pieces by heavy artillery. The solid city walls were reduced to ruins, and the last line of defense in the enemy's hearts also completely collapsed.

County attack and defense battle!

This is the first time that the county town has been captured since the establishment of the guard regiment. The Ninghai defense line has long been the enemy's lair, and today, they can finally recapture this important stronghold.

"very good!"

"Send an order immediately. Have the baggage company support the reconnaissance battalion from the front. The artillery battalion also sends a company to support both sides. If the enemy dares to resist in vain, give me artillery shells!"

"We must not give the enemy any chance to resist or catch their breath. We must seize the Ninghai defense line as soon as possible and eliminate all enemies and puppet troops in Ninghai County!"

At this moment, Qin Hai finally relaxed a lot from the breath he had been holding.

Qin Hai blamed the enemy and puppet troops for the sacrifice of so many comrades in this battle. Now that he has the initiative in the battle, he must wipe out the enemy completely!

however,

Qin Hai's order made the leaders present gasp. This was not just extravagant, it was simply arrogant!

Qin Hai's meaning was very clear.

Don't rush to wipe out any force that attempts to resist or counterattack. Use artillery shells to plow through them first!

If it were any other army, they would not be able to fight so aggressively. In just a few hours, the ammunition consumed was enough to fight several battles of the same scale.

but,

Although the leaders were shocked, they could only nod their heads with emotion. As long as they could take the county, everything would be worth it.

not to mention,

Qin Hai's decision clearly puts the lives of soldiers first. The domestic situation is serious, and many times human lives are not as valuable as weapons and equipment. However, in the guard regiment, every soldier is precious, and unnecessary sacrifice cannot be tolerated!

After this battle,

They have seen Qin Hai's attitude towards combat. He will never let the guards take risks if the problem can be solved with equipment.

have to say,

Qin Hai's combat philosophy is worth learning, but not everyone can afford to learn it. After all, the luxurious equipment of the Guard Regiment is beyond the reach of most brother units.

With the collapse of the front battlefield,

The reconnaissance battalion had almost no obstruction, and with the artillery support of the baggage company, any enemy who wanted to make a last-ditch effort at the alley entrance was buried by artillery shells before they could even see the enemy's shadow.

This also made the reconnaissance company's battle surprisingly smooth.

Of course we cannot be careless when we need to be careful, and sacrifices during the charge are inevitable, but there is plenty of time now. The real victory can only be achieved by completing the cleanup while ensuring our own safety.

The reconnaissance company accompanied the rear,

The other troops were also fighting fiercely. At this time, the cavalry company commander Sun Desheng was a little restless.

It's really unpleasant to see the brother troops fighting so well while they can only watch from afar.

As the captain of a cavalry company,

Sun Desheng had wanted to ask the regiment commander for permission to fight several times, but was blocked by Qin Hai every time. The combat environment of urban street fighting and cavalry fighting is very different. How can one fight on horseback in such a narrow place?

Don't be tempted to join in the fierce fighting ahead just because it's happening. Riding a horse there would be tantamount to seeking death.

Without any choice,

After hearing what the regiment commander said, Sun Desheng could only hold his breath and watch helplessly as the brother troops fought bloody battles on the front line, while their cavalry company could only watch from afar.

In the city,

The traitors had been beaten to a pulp long ago. They joined the Japs just to make a living. Although they were branded as traitors, most of the puppet troops did not care about it.

Turbulent times,

For many people, it seems that it was destined that they would reach this point today. When they made that choice, it meant that one day they would face the consequences of betraying their country.

of course,

The difference between the traitors and the devils is that one is trying to survive, while the other is a real invader.

As the real invaders, the Japs could only fight desperately to resist the Eighth Route Army's crackdown, trying to delay the Guards Regiment's pace.

But this was undoubtedly in vain. While the soldiers of the reconnaissance company were advancing, the artillery fire from the rear was constantly clearing the alleys. No matter whether the hidden Japanese or the puppet troops hiding in the corners, they were all blown away with nowhere to hide.

Seeing that the devils could not hold out for long,

Some of the Imperial Army soon became interested. With a strong desire to survive, they soon came up with a crooked idea.

"Damn it, as long as I can survive, I'm fine with being a prisoner!"

In today's world, human life is worthless.

As long as you can survive, it is more important than anything else. After all, it is better to live a miserable life than to die a good death. Besides, everyone knows that the Eighth Route Army treats prisoners well.

"Inverted!"

then,

When the Imperial Army saw that the defense line of the North Gate had collapsed, they immediately took the remaining puppet troops and planned to turn to the light in this battle and find a way out for themselves!

Anyway, the Japs will definitely lose this battle.

If they continue to persist, they will only end up dead. It is better to live a miserable life than to die. Instead of working for the Japanese, why not join the Eighth Route Army and fight the Japanese now?

Moreover,

These puppet soldiers had no sense of nationality at all. They became traitors simply out of selfish pursuit of wealth and glory. To put it bluntly, they did it just to make a living.

Since the Eighth Route Army treats prisoners well, perhaps by surrendering on the battlefield, there is a great possibility of winning a future for themselves!

"Damn it, these devils will all die here today. We can't go on like this. Brothers, do you want to live?" As the captain of the Imperial Army shouted this,
