Anti-War Game: Starting from Normandy Campaign-Chapter 552 - 264: The Naive ’Encirclement Policy’ of the Invaders
With the signal flare ascending into the sky.
At this moment, all the ambushed troops near Niangzi Pass sprang into action.
Yu Feng followed within the ranks.
His task was to bury the explosives on the Japanese railroad, destroying its connection while gunfire erupted at Niangzi Pass.
The surrounding cover and attack units commenced firing simultaneously.
The Japanese guards hid behind bunkers, spraying machine gun fire, temporarily unaware of the Red Army squad creeping towards the railway bridge.
There were also Japanese bunkers at the head of the railway bridge.
Upon hearing the gunfire, most of the Japanese soldiers at the bridgehead had already rushed out.
Before they could react, they were shot by the cover units.
The machine gun at the bridgehead bunker also began spurting fire.
The Red Army outnumbered the Japanese several times over, though their weapons were outdated, allowing them to gain an initial advantage, but quickly occupying the area proved challenging.
Yu Feng gauged his distance from the bridgehead fortress.
As a top-tier sniper in FPS games, he instantly had confidence with just one glance.
He picked up his rifle, quickly loaded it, and aimed.
The guerrilla fighter beside him was just raising his gun to shoot.
Bang!
A shot rang out, and the machine gun at the Japanese bunker immediately stopped.
As everyone was stunned.
Yu Feng swiftly reloaded, and the machine gun inside the bunker opposite, which had just resumed firing, went silent again within a second.
Bang!
Another Japanese soldier attempting to handle the machine gun fell.
The Japanese soldiers within the bunker realized there was a sniper opposite.
And with the bunker’s machine gun fire ceasing.
The surrounding cover units began converging on the Japanese defenders at the bunker, and Yu Feng, along with the others, crouched low and rushed towards the railway bridge.
The Japanese garrison at Niangzi Pass only numbered a few hundred.
But since Niangzi Pass served as a crucial choke point, now under attack, adjacent stations’ Japanese units surely knew it too.
They might be boarding trains now, heading this way.
Therefore, demolishing this railway bridge was essential, the sooner the better.
Especially on such a dark and windy night as this.
If the ghost train couldn’t brake and derailed, it would spare the battle effort.
Yu Feng, carrying an explosives pack, charged with his squad to within tens of meters of the bridgehead before the defending Japanese realized the enemy was flanking them.
But it was already too late.
All the remaining grenades were thrown, flying towards the Japanese fortifications at the bridgehead.
Those selected for this assault naturally had special skills; they were chosen for their ability to throw far, ensuring no grenades were wasted.
As the grenades landed, explosions roared from the Japanese fortifications at the bridgehead.
Yu Feng and the others seized the opportunity to reach the front of the fortifications, opening fire on the retaliating Japanese soldiers.
But the Japanese resistance was unusually staunch.
Boom!
Boom!
Explosions roared nearby, with waves of heat sweeping across.
The charging soldiers fell, and the Japanese behind the fortifications were obliterated.
The escalation of explosions brought a momentary silence to the battlefield.
Yu Feng quickly regained awareness.
Bang!
Bang!
Shooting at the dazed Japanese, disoriented by the explosions.
Until the clouds gradually covered the moon.
The bridgehead plunged into darkness. 𝒻𝘳ℯℯ𝑤ℯ𝒷𝘯ℴ𝓋ℯ𝘭.𝑐ℴ𝑚
The brutal slaughter had just ended, but there was no time to gather the bodies as everyone rapidly rushed towards the railway bridge, performing rehearsed maneuvers multiple times.
They dug under the tracks, stuffing explosives inside.
Then, they ignited the explosives and swiftly evacuated the area.
The explosives on the railway bridge glimmered with fiery sparks.
Boom! Boom! Boom! Boom!!!
A series of explosions soared.
The track connected to the Japanese station fragmented amidst a chain of explosions, causing the bridge to collapse.
On another side.
The battle at Niangzi Pass reached its critical moment.
The demolition of the railway bridge was plainly seen by the goading Japanese guards, who were immensely anxious, yet the explosions hadn’t ceased.
In another distant place, the tracks also suddenly exploded.
Flames reached the sky.
In an even further place.
Boom——!!!
The same fiery display chilled the hearts of the Japanese defenders at Niangzi Pass completely.
Not just one railway was bombed.
The tracks on both eastern and western sides were simultaneously attacked, each explosion’s blaze lighting up three to four places.
Just here.
A complete railway line was divided into several segments, making awaiting reinforcements impossible.
The Japanese at Niangzi Pass erupted in final madness.
Fighting and shooting recklessly.
After completing his task, Yu Feng returned to support the diversionary units and also noticed the distinctness of the Japanese opponents here, speaking to Blue Star viewers in the live stream while shooting:
"Not all Japanese soldiers are the same."
"The Japanese at Niangzi Pass and those at Jingxing Coal Mine are just a station apart, yet their resistance levels vastly differ."
"Previously, in my [Single Player Story] mode when attacking Jingxing Coal Mine."
"There was just one squadron there."
"And a band of puppet soldiers, the initial fighting was smooth until the end when the Japanese soldiers fortified in bunkers resisted for a while."
"Their combat quality was far inferior to the Japanese here."
"Is it because there’s more to gain over there?"
Yu Feng kept speaking, continuously shooting.
The Japanese at Niangzi Pass had reached their final desperation, under siege from the Red Army on all sides, diminishing in numbers as they were mostly killed.
Yu Feng switched out, observing other live streams.
At this moment.
Along the entire Zheng-Tai railway line.
Red Army figures were everywhere, with clear division of tasks, apart from some Japanese stations, the rest were all sabotaging the railway line.
