Chapter 66: A Big Fight (Seeking Follow-up Reads)

Although the Dunwusi City District had already been carpet-bombed by Sulfur Bombs, the city was filled with charred, broken walls and ruins everywhere.

However, the Japanese Battalion Commander leading the troops... Takahashi Kawamoto.

Remained very cautious; he knew the Sichuan Army before him could not be underestimated.

The Sixth Brigade had already lost quite a few Imperial Warriors in the Dunwusi City District.

The Sichuan Army had two platoons remaining.

This small number of men was hiding in the burned-out Dunwusi City District.

A battalion searching carefully would surely be able to completely annihilate the Sichuan Army in Dunwusi.

"The remaining strength of the 1st Regiment is now less than one hundred men."

John's church had already been requisitioned by Yu Hua's Sichuan Army.

Takahashi Kawamoto estimated the Sichuan Army inside Dunwusi.

Good steel should be used on the blade's edge; now was the time for the 1st Regiment's artillery to enter the fray.

The Sichuan Army had almost no casualties.

Ge Wei had already seen the Sichuan Army perform many miracles these past few days.

That was to set up an ambush circle in the rear.

He now wanted to use absolute force to directly blockade the Sichuan Army.

A dozen shells fell toward the church.

By Yu Hua's side was Wei Dayong.

Takahashi Kawamoto put down his Telescope.

This church building hung the flag of the United States.

A piercing sound wave rang out in the street district where flames were roaring.

From the high building where Tang Debing was located, he saw the Japanese soldiers coming in.

The unit led by Li Cheng had already engaged the Japanese search party.

"If we still rely on Side Firepoints to block the Japanese like before."

Immediately ordered to continue searching forward.

However, his hands would not listen to him no matter what.

At the rear of the street district, Yu Hua led two platoons of Sichuan Army soldiers to guard this place.

Takahashi Kawamoto decided to concentrate his battalion's artillery fire to bombard the church for twenty minutes.

"One remaining Sichuan Army soldier has been killed!"

Under the command of the Japanese commander, the artillery position had now been set up.

Yu Hua was quite right; for two platoons of men to try and block a Japanese battalion.

He wanted to use these last few men to wipe out half of the Japanese battalion.

This church was the tallest building in Dunwusi.

The tall and thin Zhang Haibei beside Yu Dazhu whispered.

Wei Dayong was also wiping his Czech Light Machine Gun at this moment.

Ge Wei could have originally left with the wounded soldiers.

These were all heavy equipment of the 1st Regiment.

Yu Hua grinned, looking at Ge Wei.

Yu Dazhu's artillery unit was set up here.

Even if the Sichuan Army set up an ambush circle, he was not afraid.

After the Japanese artillery test-fired, they corrected the coordinates again, followed by a rainstorm-like bombardment.

Five bullets swept toward Tang Debing's chest.

Takahashi Battalion, 8 Mortars, 4 Type 92 Infantry Guns.

Based on the trajectory, several Japanese soldiers discovered the high building where Tang Debing was hiding.

All came toward the location where Li Cheng was.

"Have you calculated the coordinates of the Japanese artillery?"

"Our artillery must absolutely not fire empty shots."

Yu Hua even let John himself leave the church and enter the concession.

After saying this, Yu Dazhu personally guided the artillerymen to adjust the coordinates.

Tang Debing was hit.

Intense gunfire rang out; the Squad Leader of the squad Yu Hua sent out was named Li Cheng.

"One round of test fire, charge number three!"

The entire church felt as if an earthquake had occurred.

Now there were no more worries behind them.

"It seems the remnants of the Sichuan Army are gathering inside this church."

"Boom, boom..."

"You led an entire battalion of Japanese soldiers here."

Li Cheng fought while retreating, leading the Japanese soldiers toward the church's location.

Fortunately, the church was sturdy enough.

Since the Sichuan Army had occupied this church for the moment.

"The troops continue to advance!"

In his hands, he had one 75mm Type 41 Mountain Gun and 10 mortars.

The five or six Japanese soldiers walking at the very front were hit and fell to the ground.

Today, Yu Hua had already told her that it was very likely the final battle for the 1st Regiment of the Sichuan Army.

They raised the Type 38 Rifles in their hands and opened fire toward Tang Debing's position.

"Platoon Leader!"

This church building was constructed entirely of reinforced concrete.

Fortunately, the doors and windows of the church had been sealed in advance.

The Czech Light Machine Gun and submachine guns caught the Japanese soldiers off guard.

Inside the church!

He immediately picked up the submachine gun in his hands and swept across the Japanese soldiers on the street.

No one knew if the defensive positions in the Dunwusi City District could still be held after today's battle.

A squad of soldiers was taken by Yu Hua to lure the Japanese soldiers.

The Japanese artillery commander had measured the coordinates.

The Japanese artillery bombarded the church.

It would be good enough to scrape together a platoon of men.

But, she still chose to stay.

Most of the soldiers were all called to the side by Yu Hua to hide, and they did not go near the doors or windows.

"Target the church occupied by the enemy."

Ge Wei came to Yu Hua's side: "Company Commander Yu."

After all, the Japanese soldiers who entered the city were like sharks that had smelled blood.

The order Yu Hua gave to Yu Dazhu was to take out the Japanese artillery position with one shot.

The Japanese Type 92 Infantry Guns and mortars immediately began to move into position.

Yu Hua decided to have a big fight here; he would eat up as many Japanese soldiers as he could.

The wounded Sichuan Army soldiers inside had already been transferred out in advance.

"Isn't this too risky?"

There was a tall church.

At the same time!

The Imperial Army's artillery intentionally avoided it while bombarding.

The Japanese commander saw Tang Debing fall from the high building.

Takahashi Kawamoto understood the soldiers of the Sichuan Army.

Upon hearing the gunfire, the Japanese soldiers shouted: "Enemy attack... enemy attack..."

Tang Debing only felt his eyelids growing heavier and heavier, and then he was completely swallowed by darkness.

"Risky?" Shaking his head, Yu Hua continued: "Inspector Ge."

The Japanese soldiers had no choice but to pursue forward.

After pursuing for a while, Takahashi Kawamoto saw, in front of his own troops.

Four Type 92 Infantry Guns and 8 mortars were set up in a block to the rear.

This church was a reinforced concrete building, and ordinary artillery fire had poor destructive capability against it.

"With our few people, we might not even be able to hold out for a day."

"Da-da-da!! —"

Li Cheng led his troops to retreat.

It started as a side firepoint again.

Takahashi Kawamoto also saw the Sichuan Army retreating.

But, as the gunfire rang out, the Japanese soldiers quickly closed in on the position where Li Cheng was.

Opening his left eye, Yu Dazhu lowered his right hand and said loudly.

This was simply dreaming.

Today was a life-and-death battle for the Sichuan Army; Wei Dayong wanted to wipe the Czech Light Machine Gun a bit cleaner.

At this moment, Tang Debing was panting heavily; he still wanted to grip the submachine gun in his hand tightly.

Following an order from the Japanese artillery commander.

He fired another burst at the Japanese soldiers in the street.

With a battalion of troops, was he afraid of two platoons of the Sichuan Army?

Waving his command sword, Takahashi Kawamoto ordered all the Japanese infantry to charge up.

"Da-da-da!! —"

"Plus the fact that we just lured the Japanese soldiers, there are only 90 men left."

Zhang Haibei watched Yu Dazhu, who was gesturing.

Over a hundred Japanese soldiers, holding Type 38 Rifles, were advancing rapidly.

"Boom... boom..."

Countless artillery shells landed accurately on the Sichuan Army's defensive positions.

"Listen up, all of you."

However, facing the Japanese shelling, some doors and windows were still destroyed.

On the roof.

Just as the little devils' artillerymen finished setting up their cannons and calculating the coordinates.

"Yoshi!"

"No wonder the Imperial Army's artillery fire did not destroy them all."

The devils' artillery had been bombarding for so long, and Yu Dazhu had been measuring the enemy's coordinates the entire time.

After his many calculations, Yu Dazhu was now confident he could take out the devils' artillery with a single shot.
