Chapter 986 Luxurious Equipment
At this moment, a platoon of puppet troops was ordered to transport ten cartloads of bullets from the city's armory to the city wall. There was no other way; the situation was urgent, and the Japanese had no extra troops to transport supplies, so they had to use the puppet troops.
However, to prevent their own dogs from stealing or cheating, the Japanese still sent three logistics and supply soldiers to supervise the delivery of the ammunition to the front-line combat troops.
As the commander of the Tuqiao Regiment had anticipated, as long as Goose City remained unconquered, their lackeys would not dare to harbor any disloyalty, a result of the past strength of their army.
Sending out a few supply soldiers is enough to manage a platoon of puppet troops; this is a very common practice.
Just as the convoy was about to pass through a street, suddenly the windows of the shops on both sides opened, and more than a dozen submachine guns and more than twenty pistols emerged from them.
The dark muzzles of the guns were pointed directly at the street, and before the puppet troops in charge of escorting them could react, a barrage of bullets rained down on them.
In particular, those three Japanese supply soldiers were swaggering around in the ranks and were immediately targeted, with each of them carrying dozens of bullets.
The other puppet troops were no better off. After all, they were an army made up of spineless cowards. They could manage to bully the people of Goose City with their Hanyang rifles, but in the face of this situation, they had no power to fight back at all.
Our ambush personnel did not remain behind. These puppet troops are, to put it bluntly, scum of China. No matter what their purpose is, as long as they betray their country and join foreign enemies, they are destined to die.
After all the enemies were eliminated, our intelligence personnel quickly emerged from all corners and installed booby traps in the enemy's supply vehicles.
In such a short time, these things certainly couldn't be moved quickly, and frankly, the main force of the Japanese army wouldn't even consider their ammunition.
It's better to leave these things on the street; you might get a pleasant surprise.
This is the main road of Goose City. If the Japanese want to transport supplies, they have to clear the road.
But if a few booby traps were mixed in with these munitions, and the Japanese soldiers detonated them without realizing it, the scene would be too beautiful.
Not only the streets, but basically all the key places in Goose City were attacked.
For example, the Japanese military police in Goose City also encountered big trouble at this time.
Originally, according to the orders of the regimental commander of the Tsuchibashi Regiment, the entire military police force would have been mobilized to maintain order in the city and ensure the normal transportation of various supplies.
However, just as the military police captain had assembled his troops, they were attacked with grenades.
Our intelligence agents used their resources to obtain a type of rubber band made of natural rubber from our base. It was incredibly elastic.
Then, punch two holes in a piece of bison hide and thread rubber bands through it. This is the most convenient throwing device in the city, which can easily throw several grenades tied together to a distance of more than 200 meters.
Of course, the drawback is also obvious: it's basically not very accurate.
However, our initial design wasn't for precise throwing. Victory was achieved simply by throwing grenades into enemy buildings. The main purpose was to create chaos; killing the enemy was secondary.
Besides, the high-explosive grenades produced in our base area are quite powerful, and they produce a lot of shrapnel after exploding. We'll always manage to kill a few enemies by sheer luck.
After the enemy military police were attacked by grenades, they immediately went into combat mode, while our men withdrew after throwing a few rounds of grenades. In any case, the purpose was just to make some noise, and safety came first.
As a result, the entire Goose City was thrown into chaos, making it impossible to effectively support the battle on the city walls.
Upon receiving the news, Tuqiao, the regimental commander, immediately realized that things were in dire straits. At this rate, they couldn't hold out for more than a few days, but he was helpless.
In such a critical moment, he dared not call troops back from the city wall, for that would only hasten his own demise.
It wasn't until our armored forces were deployed and breached the city wall that the Tuqiao Regiment Commander realized the situation was hopeless and hastily withdrew all his troops to engage in street fighting.
After seeing his troops rush into the city, Commander Zhang immediately led his reserve team into the city to launch a full-scale mopping-up operation.
Sun Shi'an was the platoon leader of the first platoon of the first company of the first battalion of the first regiment. He and his men were the first troops to rush into Goose City and quickly deploy according to the battle plan.
If the first company is the spearhead of the first battalion, then the first platoon is the very tip of that spearhead, essentially concentrating the strongest soldiers and the most powerful weapons in the entire battalion.
Take their platoon for example, which has a total of 68 people, making it a reinforced platoon.
There were three infantry squads, each with twelve men. The squad leader and deputy squad leader were equipped with PPSh submachine guns and Black Star pistols. There was a light machine gun team. Of the remaining eight soldiers, three were equipped with PPSh submachine guns, one with a shotgun, and the remaining four with Mauser 4-ring rifles.
There is also an artillery platoon, equipped with a 60mm mortar and a recoilless rifle;
Two sniper teams: the sniper is equipped with two sniper rifles, and the spotter is equipped with the latest military binoculars developed by the base. The spotter also has a submachine gun and a Black Star pistol as self-defense weapons.
Oh, and there's also a liaison group with a walkie-talkie. You could say that the battalion commander can issue combat orders to the platoon at any time, which is a huge advantage in urban warfare.
Of course, this was also a special reinforcement to enhance the city's street fighting capabilities. Normally, the Jin-Sui Army could not assemble such a formidable force.
After Platoon Leader Sun led his platoon into the city, they quickly consolidated the existing defensive positions and cleared out the remaining enemy forces at the breaches.
The Japanese soldiers were also extremely skilled in civil engineering; even when they were directly hit by tank cannon fire, some of them still survived.
The first to deploy were a dozen or so soldiers armed with PPSh submachine guns. They jumped onto the Japanese position and immediately pulled the triggers, unleashing a hail of bullets at the remaining enemy soldiers.
In such close combat, the Type 38 rifles in the hands of the enemy soldiers were of little use.
A few minutes later, all the enemy troops on the position were cleared out, and the rest of the battalion poured into the breach in the city wall.
"Platoon leader, company headquarters on the phone."
As Platoon Leader Sun led his troops forward in the search, Xiao Wang, who was in charge of walkie-talkie communications, caught up from behind.
According to the pre-battle battle plan, the first platoon, acting as the spearhead of the entire battalion, was to quickly penetrate deeper into enemy territory after eliminating the enemy in front of them, with a large company following behind.
