Warlords: Rising from the Northwest Border and Sweeping Across the Powers

Chapter 1046 The real madman

"The armored forces continue to advance!" The voice of Chen Gang, the armored battalion commander, rang out on the radio, "Attention, the third and fourth assault companies, responsible for clearing the buildings on both wings!"

The roar of the armored vehicles echoed in the street, and the steel torrent was advancing. Suddenly, several flashes of fire flashed from the second-floor window of the residential building on the right, and a string of rifle bullets hit the armored plate of the armored vehicle, making a crisp impact sound. Then, a Type 97 grenade was thrown out of the window.

"Grenade!" the armored vehicle captain shouted, but there was no danger. The grenade exploded next to the armored vehicle, only stirring up a cloud of dust.

Zhang Yong, the commander of the Third Assault Company, responded immediately: "Third Platoon, charge into that building! First Platoon, provide fire cover! Second Platoon, outflanking from the back door! Remember, they may be equipped with Type 38 rifles, which have a long range, be careful of snipers!"

"Understood!" Third Platoon Leader Wang Zheng led the assault team to move quickly. The first row of Czech light machine gunners immediately deployed, and the dense firepower suppressed the window on the second floor.

"Get the grenades ready!" Wang Zheng ordered in a low voice. The assault team members quickly took out the wooden-handled grenades in unison.

"Boom!" The grenade exploded in the building, and thick smoke poured out of the window. The assault team immediately rushed into the room, and the sound of Thompson submachine guns firing one after another in the building.

“One floor is safe!”

"Encountered the enemy on the second floor, engaged in a firefight! Found a Type 99 light machine gun position!"

"The enemy was found trying to break out from the back door, but was intercepted by the second platoon!"

Various tactical briefings came via radio. Zhang Yong commanded from behind the armored vehicle: "Pay attention to the grenades and beware of booby traps! Remember, clear each room one by one, leaving no blind spots untouched!"

At this moment, intensive gunfire was heard again from the block on the left.

"Report to the company commander, at least one squad of enemy troops on the left has set up an ambush in a residential building!" The voice of the second company commander Li Qiang came, "They broke through the walls between the buildings and were able to move freely! At least two Type 99 light machine guns were found!"

Zhang Yong immediately adjusted the deployment: "The second company will lead the attack, and the third company will cooperate. Mortar platoon, immediately take position and prepare for fire support! Armored vehicles will provide cover!"

Street fighting unfolded in residential areas. Although the Fuso army was relatively poorly equipped, they took advantage of the familiar terrain and moved flexibly between buildings. However, the firepower advantage of the Chinese commandos soon became apparent.

"Every room must be cleared with grenades!" Li Qiang led the assault team forward, "Pay attention to the top and the floor, they may dig holes in the upper and lower floors! Engineers, blow up the walls for me and cut off their escape route!"

The mortar platoon deployed quickly, and the shells whizzed into the buildings, disrupting the enemy's deployment.

"We found the entrance to the tunnel!" A report came from the assault team, "These people dug a tunnel underground! There are also weapons and ammunition piled up!"

"Throw in flares and smoke bombs!" Zhang Yong made a prompt decision, "block all exits and force them out!"

Thick smoke billowed out of the tunnel entrance, and several Japanese soldiers holding Type 38 rifles crawled out in a panic, and were immediately subdued by the commandos. Among the weapons seized, in addition to rifles, there were also several Type 99 light machine guns and a batch of grenades.

"Attention armored forces!" Chen Gang's voice sounded again, "Keep advancing, don't let these small forces slow down the pace! The assault company follows up, keep advancing!"

The battle continued in the darkness. Enemies could be hiding in every house, and ambushes could be found at every corner. But the Chinese commandos showed great tactical accomplishment. Their Thompson submachine guns played a huge advantage in close combat, and they were gradually clearing out these stubborn resistance forces.

"Another block has been cleared!" Zhang Yong reported the results of the battle. "We found the enemy's walkie-talkie. They are trying to call for help from the city center!"

"Well done!" Chen Gang's voice was full of praise, "Keep pushing forward. Remember, we must meet up with the Totenkopf Division in the city center before dawn!"

In the darkness of the night, the roar of the armored forces continued to move forward. The assault companies were like sharp knives, constantly piercing the enemy's defenses. Every time they cleared a building, they were one step closer to victory.

"It's these damn harassment again!" Font gritted his teeth as he looked at the rifle fire that kept shooting out from the houses, "Gendarmerie, prepare for battle! Leave the rifles on the armored vehicles, we'll use this today!"

He raised the MP40 submachine gun in his hand, and the black muzzle shone coldly in the moonlight. Five hundred military police quickly put down their rifles and took out submachine guns and Winchester shotguns. This unit, known for its ferocity, was about to fight in the way they were best at.

"Remember, no need for cover, no need for tactical coordination!" There was a hint of madness in Font's voice, "When you see the enemy, charge at them! Let these rats hiding in the dark know what the military police of the Skeleton Division are!"

"Charge!" Five hundred people roared at the same time, and the sound shook the sky.

The military police rushed directly to the buildings where the shooting was coming from, like a black torrent. The Fuso army obviously did not expect the enemy to be so crazy, and their shooting became panic.

"Bang! Bang! Bang!" The roar of Winchester shotguns echoed in the street. A team of military police used shotgun shells to blast open the door of a residential building. The bullets swept through, and the Fuso soldiers inside didn't even have time to scream.

"Upstairs!" Fonte rushed up the stairs with his MP40 in hand. The Japanese soldier upstairs had just raised his Type 9 rifle when he was mowed down by a string of mm bullets.

"Captain, they are retreating!" a gendarme shouted.

"Chase!" Font ordered with a grin, "Don't let anyone escape!"

The military police were divided into several groups, and they pounced on the surrounding buildings like hungry wolves. The dense bursts of MP40s, mixed with the roar of shotguns, turned this block into a death zone.

A Fuso officer tried to organize a defense and set up a crooked-handled machine gun. But before he could pull the trigger, three shotgun shells overturned the entire machine gun position. Military police rushed into the room stepping on shells, and the flames of submachine guns roared in the darkness.

"Captain! They are gathering in the basement!" the signalman reported.

Font wiped the blood off his face and said, "Throw grenades! No need to count, throw all the grenades!"

Dozens of grenades were thrown into the basement at the same time, and the continuous explosions shook the entire building. After the smoke cleared, the basement had become a ruin.

"Keep going!" Font raised the bloodstained MP40, "Show the armored forces what a real cleanup is!"

The military police advanced at an astonishing speed. They completely ignored conventional tactics and relied on fierce firepower and crazy courage to tear a hole in the enemy's defense line.

Armored Battalion Commander Chen Gang looked at this group of desperate lunatics through the observation port of the armored vehicle and couldn't help shaking his head: "These are the military police of the SS Division. They are fucking crazy."

In just half an hour, the entire block was cleared. Bullet shells piled up on the ground, and the air was filled with the smell of gunpowder and blood.

Fonte reloaded the magazine and watched his men count the results of the battle: "How much is the loss?"

"Seventeen wounded, two killed," the signalman reported, "at least one enemy squadron destroyed."

"Very good," Font grinned, revealing his sharp white teeth, "Notify the troops behind that this area has been cleared. Tell them that the military police of the SS Division never need support!"

The armored forces continued to advance, while the military police had already begun to look for the next target. In this bloody night, they used the most primitive and effective method to clear all obstacles. This was the fighting method of the military police of the SS Division - simple, rough, but deadly.
