Chapter 65 Attacking the Dock
The 37th Brigade, which had only one cannon before, suddenly had four cannons, and they also targeted the most strongly defended areas for attack. It was as if the enemy had already figured out their firepower deployment!
After two rounds of shells, the three heavy machine gun fire points placed by the Japanese on the city wall were all destroyed. The Japanese soldiers who were not killed by luck got up and took a look. They were surrounded by the corpses of their soldiers. Even the heavy machine guns were also cannons.
They were all destroyed in the explosion!
Without the suppression of heavy firepower, it is absolutely impossible to suppress the 37th brigade attacking troops just relying on the firepower of the 38 large guns in their hands!
I saw several siege teams hiding behind the earthen tanks. The Japanese heavy machine guns misfired, and ordinary rifles could not penetrate the defenses of the earthen tanks. As they spoke, they had already reached near the city gate and were waiting for the people in the city.
Allied forces have opened the city gate!
Since there were friendly forces to support him, Xu Tianlong gave up the battle plan of scaling the city wall via ladders, so that their soldiers would not have to risk their lives by climbing ladders.
"Bagayalu! What the hell is going on!"
The Japanese captain who stayed at the headquarters has completely collapsed. The North City Gate has been violently attacked by the enemy, and the South City Gate has been lost. The life or death of the captain is unknown. Just outside their headquarters, there are even enemies attacking!
"Captain, he is from the Second Brigade... No, to be precise, the enemy must have pretended to be reinforcements and launched a surprise attack on us. Otherwise, how could the South City Gate be lost?"
The Japanese officers were chattering, with expressions of horror on their faces. As of now, they could no longer defeat the enemies of the 37th Brigade!
"The current plan is that we should retreat quickly and move closer to friendly forces in other areas!"
"Evacuate, cover the headquarters to evacuate Songshan County!"
Knowing that the battle situation was completely dominated by the 37th Brigade, the Japanese captain immediately decided to break out.
At this time, the Japanese troops were in complete chaos, with no combat effectiveness at all. They were flying around like a group of headless flies. This undoubtedly increased the attack speed of Zhou Weiguo and others!
"Don't let them escape, hit them in quickly!"
Zhou Weiguo ordered his soldiers to attack fiercely, and even used a mortar captured from the Japanese. After a few rounds, the Japanese military police brigade suddenly screamed.
As the gate exploded, Zhou Weiguo led his soldiers into the Japanese military police brigade, and within half an hour, all the people from the Japanese command headquarters who were preparing to break out were killed!
In the direction of the North City Gate, Li Chishui and others also successfully seized control of the city gate. After opening the city gate, thousands of soldiers from the 37th Brigade rushed into the county seat!
"Kill for me, leave no one behind!"
Xu Tianlong followed immediately and issued the order to annihilate the enemy troops. He nodded towards Li Chishui and then led his men to kill the Japanese soldiers who were fleeing nearby.
After a round of fierce fighting, the 37th Brigade successfully wiped out a group of Japanese troops who occupied Songshan County, and successfully planted the general's flag on the city wall of Songshan County!

Congratulations to the host for getting generals from Zhou Wei's flag to defect to him! (Yang Dali, Xu Hu, Lin Shuisheng, Liu San, Zhu Zhu and others.)
Xu Tianlong happily accepted the materials rewarded by the system and still chose to transport them to Songshan County by airdrop.
He wants to build this place into an important weapons production base and garrison location for them, so that they can help each other with Jinlong County and appear less passive under the offensive of the Japs.
The day after the capture of Songshan County, the news spread throughout the four eastern provinces in an instant, and many people were shocked and excited!
When all the four northeastern provinces were about to be invaded by the Japanese, a unit of the Northeast Army finally stood up, bravely captured a county town occupied by the Japanese, and sounded the clarion call for counterattack!
The victory of the 37th Brigade is undoubtedly very exciting. Of course, many people still maintain a pessimistic mood and think that the 37th Brigade just won by chance. Even if they won the little devil once this time, what about next time? What about next time?
?
The main force of the Northeastern Army has withdrawn from the Northeastern Provinces, and the 37th Brigade is unable to support itself. However, the Japs have hundreds of thousands of troops in the entire Northeastern Provinces!
There were different opinions from the outside world, and Xu Tianlong naturally did not know that after receiving the airdrop supplies, he called Li Chishui over and gave him a task to appease the people.
Some of the grain, together with grain and other materials seized from the Japanese, were used to provide relief to the victims in the city, and seeds, tools and other items were provided to the people to encourage them to stay in Songshan County.
After arranging the mission, Xu Tianlong summoned other officers. First, he distributed rewards to some soldiers with outstanding performance, and then told them about his plan to expand the army.
"Brothers, although we have captured Songshan County and recaptured the arsenal, the Japs are still eyeing us. The preparation of the army for war is our top priority..."
Immediately, Xu Tianlong appointed Zhou Weiguo to form the Snow Leopard Special Forces as the captain, who also served as the commander and deputy brigade commander of the First Infantry Regiment; he appointed Li Chishui as the commander of the Second Infantry Regiment, and his subordinate Chen Feng as the commander of the Second Infantry Regiment.
Deputy Head.
The others also ranged from battalion commander to company commander. After the appointment, Xu Tianlong asked the 1st Infantry Regiment to expand the artillery battalion, and the 2nd Infantry Regiment to recruit troops from the reserve force, etc.
In addition, they began to build city defenses near Jinlong County to resist future attacks.
Half a month later, Xu Tianlong's 37th Brigade had a completely new look, with an overall strength of 6,000 people!
Don't underestimate the strength of these 6,000 troops. In terms of strength, Xu Tianlong believes that it will not be a problem to defeat both regiments of the Japs!
The troops of the two regiments were stationed in Jinlong County and Songshan County respectively for training. Just when Xu Tianlong had stabilized the people's hearts and everything was prosperous, the little devil's troops were ready to move again!
The reason why the Japs have been holding back is precisely because of Xu Tianlong's identity as the adopted son of the former commander-in-chief of the Northeast Army!
They couldn't figure out whether Xu Tianlong did this under the instructions of the current commander-in-chief of the Northeast Army, or whether Xu Tianlong acted on his own initiative.
If Zhang Xiaoliu secretly commanded Xu Tianlong to do this, then they must be very cautious. Even a 37th Brigade made their imperial army lose face. Then it is very likely that the other Northeastern Army is not as vulnerable as it seems!
In the end, the little devils decided to send troops to attack. No matter what, their march to invade Fengtian Province must not be stopped because of Xu Tianlong!
Soon, the Japanese once again sent a regiment to attack Jinlong County where Xu Tianlong was stationed personally!
Unfortunately, the 37th Brigade received the news while the Japanese troops were still on the road.
Xu Tianlong immediately gathered his troops and set up defenses outside the county town to annihilate all the Japanese soldiers who were attacking!
"Young Marshal, should we concentrate our forces to defend Jinlong County?"
Zhou Weiguo said to Xu Tianlong, "The city defense in Jinlong County has not been completed yet, let's..."
"No, your 1st Infantry Regiment will be stationed in Songshan County. It's enough to have one of Li Chishui's regiments here, but the artillery battalion of your regiment must come over. The artillery battalion of the 2nd Infantry Regiment has not been completed yet, and we lack long-range heavy firepower."
.”
Xu Tianlong shook his head and said to Zhou Weiguo, "We must ensure the safety of Songshan County. No one knows whether the Japanese are attacking from the east or from the west. If we lose, I will lead my people to retreat to Songshan County."
"Yes! Young Marshal!"
Zhou Weiguo nodded, returned to Songshan County that day, and transferred Yang Zhihua's artillery battalion to Jinlong County to follow Li Chishui's command.
After Zhou Weiguo left, Xu Tianlong asked Li Chishui to expand and strengthen the defenses in the Sanlipo area. This would be their front station to stop the Japs!
Three days later, the Japanese regiment was already approaching the vicinity of Jinlong County. After sending several groups of scouts to inquire about the situation, they learned part of the news. The 37th Brigade in Jinlong County actually...
Chapter completed!
