Chapter 53: Luring the Enemy Deep (Please Follow)

The two Japanese company commanders first had the Mortar Team set up an artillery position.

Four mortars were set up at the entrance to the urban area.

Under the command of the Japanese artillery commander.

The four mortars bombarded the civilian houses on both sides of the street.

"Boom, boom, boom!! ——"

The mortar shells sprayed out and smashed into the civilian houses on both sides of the street.

This round of shelling!

The Japanese fired a total of forty shells.

This is indeed a very clever Firepower Point, capable of effectively evading the Imperial Army's artillery fire.

That resulted in over a dozen Japanese casualties!

Yang Jun quickly took a headcount.

"Da-da-da!! ——"

A company of Imperial Warriors died here; the Republic of China troops actually constructed Firepower Points on both sides of the street.

"The Japanese are coming up, everyone, fire for me!"

After firing, they withdrew; Yang Jun led his men and advanced toward the predetermined location.

Inside the civilian houses on both sides of the street.

"Yosh!"

Because the Japanese soldiers had bolt-action rifles, they had to pull the bolt after every shot.

Does the Imperial Army not want its face anymore?

The two old Japanese soldiers looked at each other and smiled; they had just watched the course of the battle.

Watching the Sichuan Army kill so many Imperial Warriors, Mise Jiro and Ozawa Saburo were so angry their mouths were crooked.

After saying this, Yang Jun picked up the K Rifle in his hands; he was hiding on a balcony.

Mise Jiro brandished the Command Sword in his hand.

"Find this bunch of damned Sichuan Army soldiers; this commander wants to personally chop off their heads."

On the main street, the two old Japanese soldiers also knew about that battle.

Two companies of Japanese soldiers advanced rapidly.

"Let them know that the majesty of the Empire cannot be provoked."

The military construction of the Republic of China troops is very backward, with the exception of the Central Army German-Equipped Division trained by Principal.

The K Rifle in his hands aimed at the Japanese platoon leader's head!

"Bang!"

The several search squads came one by one before Mise Jiro and Ozawa Saburo.

He put down the Telescope in his hand.

The Japanese soldiers' attention was entirely focused on the civilian houses on both sides.

Although the Japanese soldiers were chasing like madmen, they still maintained the vigilance they should have.

"Report to the company commander!"

After this search, some troops must also be placed on the high ground.

"Baka!"

The Japanese soldiers' skirmish line was gone; there were almost two or three Japanese soldiers within every meter.

Use a Bayonet to fiercely pierce the opponent's chest.

This time, the troops commanded by Yu Hua were not hiding in the civilian houses on both sides.

"Let's advance and attack!"

"Advance at full speed for me!"

The Japanese machine gunners were still conducting firepower reconnaissance on the tall buildings.

"Enemy attack... enemy attack..."

At this moment, Mise Jiro and Ozawa Saburo were both stunned.

Right now, there were over twenty Japanese soldiers lying in pools of blood, and the number of wounded was countless.

The Sichuan Army under Yang Jun also fired a burst at the Japanese soldiers on the street.

"Kill all the Sichuan Army at Dunwu Temple and clear the obstacles for the Regiment Commander!"

"Baka!"

They probably kept hiding in the civilian houses on both sides of the street, continuing to wait for rabbits.

"Rumble!! ——"

They didn't check the collapsed buildings and ruins at all.

Mise Jiro grinned and sneered: "Ozawa-kun!"

In the eyes of Mise Jiro and Ozawa Saburo, their two companies were actually being toyed with by twenty or so Sichuan Army soldiers.

In terms of firepower, it was much weaker compared to the Sichuan Army.

Have most of the Sichuan Army soldiers already been blown to death?

Ozawa Saburo's gaze fell on Mise Jiro.

After the two old Japanese soldiers figured it out, smiles appeared on their lips.

"Imperial Warriors, for the Holy War of the Empire, charge..."

This was completely disregarding the Imperial Army.

"Enough!"

Of the twenty or so people left behind, two were killed in action, and five or six were lightly wounded.

Therefore, the two companies of Imperial Army soldiers pursued them without paying any attention to the situation around them.

Having led the troops in pursuit for over ten minutes, were they really chasing down the Sichuan Army soldiers who had survived the artillery fire?

He thought about it carefully!

These two old Imperial Army officers felt it was very likely the case!

"Now that the Imperial Army is advancing, that is simply clearing the battlefield."

Just like that!

The two companies of Imperial Army soldiers chased after Yang Jun and the others.

Yang Jun also strictly followed Yu Hua's plan, leading the troops to fight while retreating.

"Charge... give me a charge..."

"I reckon the Republic of China Army troops hidden in the houses on both sides of the street have likely suffered heavy casualties."

Some brick and tile houses had also been blown open by the Imperial Army's Mortar shells.

The Sichuan Army soldiers hid in the ruins.

This was completely rubbing the two of them into the ground!

If their colleagues found out, it would be a total loss of face.

This squad leader was jumping around so much that it would be impossible for Yang Jun not to notice him.

The Sichuan Army in the ruins could see the Imperial Army soldiers not far away.

They were the true elite of the Republic of China Army!

This Sichuan Army from Sichuan Province... simply had no decent tactics.

After ten minutes of pursuit!

A gunshot rang out, and the Imperial Army squad leader was hit in the center of his brow.

Under the urging of the two company commanders.

On the street, the Imperial Army soldiers were wailing and shouting.

There were no Sichuan Army soldiers hiding in the houses on either side of the street.

This was a cross-shaped street!

The two companies of Imperial Army soldiers ran forward in a swarm, a sea of heads.

Could it be that the four Mortars had just shelled the Sichuan Army?

They now had only one thought, and that was to catch the Sichuan Army.

Five or six seconds later, some people crawled out from under the ruins in the houses on both sides.

The twenty or so Sichuan Army soldiers fired a burst every time.

But!

The two companies of Imperial Army soldiers arrived at a wide main road.

"And me, Platoon Leader!"

This group of Sichuan Army soldiers retreated as soon as they finished firing.

When the Imperial Army soldiers passed by the ruins, the Sichuan Army soldiers held their breath.

In one encounter, thirty of his own Imperial Army soldiers had fallen in the street forever.

"No Sichuan Army stragglers were found in the houses."

The Imperial Army soldiers did not search the ruins that could be seen at a glance at all.

"Company Commander, we didn't find anything here either."

This group of Imperial Army soldiers was pursuing faster and faster.

"Keep charging forward for me!"

After arriving at this wide street.

Yang Jun stood up unsteadily, "How many are still breathing?"

"Mise-kun!"

"Platoon Leader, I'm still breathing!"

They were terrified that if they were the least bit careless, they would be exposed.

Mise Jiro and Ozawa Saburo both had their soldiers enter the houses on both sides.

"No Sichuan Army found!"

The Imperial Army's search was entirely focused on the intact buildings.

"Follow me immediately!"

Then, this tactic of the Republic of China Army would not work.

There were indeed many ambushers in the collapsed ruins of the street.

A cloud of dust and smoke spread out across the street.

"We will act according to the plan!"

The two Imperial Army company commanders were furious.

"I... can also breathe."

Among them, one of the Imperial Army company commanders was named Ozawa Saburo.

Ozawa Saburo grinned coldly, "Charge up there for me and chop off the heads of the Sichuan Army!"

An Imperial Army squad leader was waving the Command Sword in his hand.

However, they have now been discovered by the Imperial Army.

A series of tongues of fire erupted, and bullets struck more than a dozen Japanese soldiers.

Two companies of Japanese soldiers continued to hold their Arisaka Type 38 Rifles as they charged toward the crossroads ahead.
