Street fighting refers to the battle between short-term battles in the streets and alleys. Narrow streets, complex environments, invisible enemies, and invisible gunfires... All of this makes street fighting full of strange and unpredictable complex factors.

The biggest difference between street fighting and field fighting is that the battlefield is divided by countless buildings arranged in certain rules, and any tactical unit is in a relatively closed and narrow scene, which puts restrictions on observation and the use of firepower. However, for the defense, they are more familiar with the structure of the scene, the preset firepower points can play a more role, and the tactical use of interspersed roundabout attacks is more handy.

Throughout the history of the Anti-Japanese War, there were several street battles that shocked the world and cried ghosts and gods. The Chinese army, which had disadvantaged equipment, defeated the Japanese devils and suffered heavy casualties. For example, the Battle of Changde, the Battle of Taierzhuang, and the Battle of Hengyang, among which the Battle of Hengyang in 1944 was the most important.

At that time, the 10th Army of the National Revolutionary Army fought nearly six times its Japanese army in Hengyang, Hunan with an isolated and helpless diseased army. It fought for a bloody battle for a full forty-seven days, killing and killing enemies that exceeded the total strength of its own army. It was known as the "Moscow Defense Battle in the East". The impact of this battle shocked the Japanese government and the opposition and directly prompted the Hideki Tojo to step down.

Although there are too few reinforced concrete buildings in China's cities and townships, it is actually not suitable for street combat. However, dragging the Japanese with excellent skills and tactics into street combat, and as a more favorable defense side, Yang Tianfeng believes that it is the best combat choice. Moreover, the Third Column has many close combat weapons, while the Japanese army has been acting hastily, without heavy artillery and not carrying much ammunition.

Not to mention the street fighting in big cities, Yang Tianfeng still remembers the Battle of Songzhuang in North China. The Eighth Route Army of the two companies launched street fighting with several times of the enemy, almost defeating the Japanese army until they collapsed, and then broke through at night.

From Yang Tianfeng's rebellion in Woyang to the present, he has fought a lot of wars, but even in the face-to-face position war, he has used many tricks that the Japanese call despicable and shameless. The reason is very simple. According to the information in his mind, he has always been quite afraid of the Japanese devils' technical and tactical abilities.

Accurate shooting, concealed movements, proficient in movements, well-trained, strong individual combat capabilities, and good coordination among the troops...

This evaluation of the Japanese devils was not only Chinese generals, but also front-line soldiers experienced the strength and excellence of their opponents' military qualities in the fight with them.

But being strong does not mean being invincible. At least Yang Tianfeng believes that it is more accurate and appropriate to attribute those evaluations to field battles. This does not mean that the Japanese army is "intellectually retarded" in street fighting, but that in street fighting, the Japanese devils' technical and tactical level will be greatly limited and they cannot play out all of them.

To use one's strengths to curb the strengths of the enemy, war has never been a simple number game, nor is it just a game that calculates the quality of equipment.

The troops left behind in the town were quickly organized and according to the organization of the third column, ten teams with rich combat experience (platoon system, more than 40 people). During the battle, two grenade launchers will be added in units of small teams (squad system, thirteen people), equipped with two grenade launchers, and equipped with one machine gun, four shotguns, two mullet guns, five rifles, and double-carrying grenades.

The recruited people and soldiers worked together to open up the walls of many houses and set up obstacles similar to the steward wall in the streets and alleys to facilitate the soldiers' hidden operations; in order to prevent shelling and detonation, more tripping and stretching mines were set up in the town, or stretching and blowing points were set up with grenades, and several destruction traps were set up with a large amount of explosives; the officers personally surveyed and guided, and set up stronger cross-fire points to reduce shooting dead ends...

It was late in winter, and Dongfang was just a little white. After the street fighting troops had rested, they entered the town to get familiar with their respective combat areas, laid out weapons, and then had a meal and rest.

The large army withdrew from the town, one headed west, guarded the highway five miles away, and picked up reinforcements; the other headed south, and stood for five miles behind the town; the special operations team and two more units had already gone in the opposite direction, looking for hidden places to let the enemy go, ready to cut off the enemy's retreat.

More than two hours passed and the sky finally became bright. Although the morning breeze in winter was cold, birds were singing, as if they were cheering for the sun's outing.

The Japanese appeared at the end of their sight and rolled along the highway. First, there were a squad of soldiers, then a small team of infantry, and behind them were dozens of cars slowly driving. The Japanese still caught up with them, which shows the stubbornness.

Yamashita Yukinosuke sat in the cab, looking drowsy, but his mind was turbulent. In Xierpu Township, Zhaoji and Hancun, the pursuing troops were blocked one after another. Although the number of the opponent was not large, only thirty or forty, the pursuers were forced to stop advancing. When the locust army set up a formation to attack fiercely, the opponents who blocked quickly fled. As a result, it was either difficult to chase after it was dark, or the explosion of mines, or the difficulty of defending the four-corner nails.

After more than a dozen locust troops were killed and injured and two cars were damaged, Yukiosuke Yamashita changed his tactics in Hancun. He only sent small troops to drive away the blockers, the brigade continued to advance, and ordered no pursuit. He realized that the enemy was not blocking, but harassing, and delaying, and buying time for the large number of enemies to escape. And the dark night is the best time for the enemy to accompany a large number of people to escape to a safe area.

It was just a hateful landmines and four-corner nails on the highway, which made the locust army dare not move forward at full speed with confidence. The reconnaissance vanguards opened the way forward, clearing hundreds of four-corner nails and eliminating more than a dozen landmines, but also encountered an accident. The mine explosion still caused some locust soldiers to be killed and injured. Therefore, Yamashita Yukinosuke believed that his strategy was correct. If he was riding in a car and moving forward without hesitation, the losses would be greater.

What kind of enemy and how to fight? Yamashita Konosuke, like all the Japanese officers who fought with the Third Column, had questions from the bottom of his heart about this unfamiliar battle.

Obviously, Japanese officers lack understanding and attention to guerrilla warfare. Under the guidance and training of Yang Tianfeng, the third column has more mature and advanced fighting styles and more diverse and sophisticated weapons and equipment.

"Dadada..." A tongue of flame suddenly ejected from the hidden position on the roadside, knocking down several cautious Japanese vanguards on the road.

"Enemy attack!" The Japanese screamed, either lying down or rolling to the side of the road with their neat tactical actions, and quickly spread out. However, it was winter now, and wearing a thick military coat, she seemed a little clumsy no matter how straightforward it was.
