Although Luo Yue led the soldiers to quietly break into a distance of more than 100 meters to the edge of Tianjin, and was not discovered by the soldiers defending the city, the gate of Xicheng was closed, which became the biggest obstacle to attacking Tianjin.

However, the troops were actually prepared for this, and before the attack, the two rocket launcher groups in the first row were specially replaced with the more powerful PF98 120mm rocket launchers. This type of weapon system is a single anti-tank weapon designed and developed by China itself, which is used to attack tanks, armored vehicles, and self-propelled artillery, annihilate and suppress exposed living forces and firearms, and destroy the enemy's field hard fortifications and firepower points. In terms of individual weapons, they are very powerful.

The bazooka group immediately set up a bazooka on the ground and fired two multi-purpose rockets at the gate of the west gate of Tianjin.

"Boom" two loud bangs, the gate of the west gate of Tianjin City was suddenly blown to pieces by two rockets, and before the smoke cleared, Luo Yue led the whole platoon of soldiers to rush to the bombed gate.

Only at this time, the defenders of the west gate reacted, the Japanese army guarding the west gate had a total of 30 people, divided into two shifts, and took turns to guard the city tower, at this time the defenders on the city tower set up their rifles on the battlements and shot indiscriminately at the city below, and the Japanese soldiers who were resting in the city room hurriedly came out and rushed to the city gate to intercept.

But at this time, it was already night, and the smoke was still there, and the smoke was misty, and I couldn't see anything clearly. But the assault troops all had night vision devices, and they were not affected at all, Luo Yue took the lead, raising his gun and shooting while running, shooting at several short points in a row, knocking down three or four Japanese soldiers, and the other soldiers around him were also shooting while running, so when the soldiers ran to the city gate, they had all killed the soldiers.

Although the Japanese soldiers on the tower opened fire at the city, they could not aim in the darkness of the night, and the soldiers advanced too fast, so nothing was found, and not a single soldier was shot.

After entering the city gate, Luo Yue immediately ordered the first and second classes to attack the city tower from the stairs on both sides of the city gate to eliminate the Japanese troops on the city tower, and he and the third squad were stationed in the city gate cave, waiting for the follow-up troops to arrive.

After assigning the task, Luo Yue and several soldiers of the third squad immediately came to the edge of the city gate hole, raised their guns vertically upwards and shot straight up, while the first and second squads rushed out of the city gate hole under their cover, separated left and right, and attacked along the stone stairs to the city tower.

At this time, there were only a dozen Japanese soldiers guarding the castle tower, and their weapons, The assembly can not be compared with the same as the general crossing army, the two sides are not a level of battle at all, so only after a minute of fierce gunfight, all the Japanese soldiers were killed, the crossing army completely occupied the west gate of Tianyuan City, the whole process only took more than two minutes, the battle ended, the soldiers in a row completed very cleanly, all the enemy troops were annihilated, and they did not have any injuries, indeed worthy of the title of sharp knife platoon.

Qiu Yahui led the other troops into Tianjin City from the West Gate, and immediately ordered the three marine platoons to act separately, and the second and third platoons of his company went separately to attack the south gate and the north gate of Tianjin City, and each sent them an additional mortar squad for fire support. Luo Yue's platoon was assigned the task of attacking the Tianjin Bell and Drum Tower.

The Bell and Drum Tower is the center of the entire Tianjin City, and it is also the tallest building in the city of Tianjin, and it is also the office of the Provisional Government of Tianjin established by the Eight-Nation Alliance, occupying the Bell and Drum Tower, not only can overlook the entire Tianjin City, but also the Type 88 sniper rifle can include the entire Tianjin City into its own firing range, and at the same time can completely hit the command center of the Eight-Nation Alliance, so the crossing army must occupy the Bell and Drum Tower as soon as possible. Qiu Yahui not only equipped the platoon with a mortar squad, but also added a machine gun squad to strengthen the platoon's firepower.

After all the troops moved separately, in addition to the company headquarters, there were only two machine gun platoons and two warrior vehicles left at the West Gate, and then they circled in the sky to monitor the entire Tianjin battlefield. Qiu Yahui ordered that two machine gun platoons be arranged on the city wall, machine gun guards were set up, and two warrior vehicles were parked side by side in the door hole to guard the west gate.

Luo Yue led his troops along the West Gate Street to the Bell and Drum Tower, but the city of Tianjin was originally not big, and there was a fierce battle at the West Gate, and the sound naturally had already reached the Bell and Drum Tower.

Tianjin Bell and Drum Tower is actually a city within a city, it is square, three floors high, the first floor of the floor is a square platform made of bricks, the lower width is narrow and the upper is narrow, there are arched door openings on all sides, and the four main streets of east and west, north and south are passed. On this stone platform, a two-story tower was built. The first floor is dedicated to various idols. There is a large iron bell weighing 300 catties hanging on the second floor, but there is no drum, so it is called the drum tower, which is actually the bell tower. Because the Bell and Drum Tower is located in the center of Tianjin City, and occupies an area, the Provisional Government of Tianjin established by the Eight-Nation Coalition Army set up the office here, but only occupies the first floor, and the second floor of the bell is still retained.

Among the three members of the provisional government of the Tianjin area established by the Eight-Nation Alliance, Japan's Aoki Nobu-sumi Daisa attacked Tianjin with Fukushima Yasumasa, while the Englishman Colonel Bauer had a personal affair and was resting in the British concession outside the city tonight, and was not in Tianjin.

Originally, Colonel Vogak had already fallen asleep, but he was awakened by the explosion of the west gate of Tianjin City with a bazooka, and the sleepy-eyed colonel did not know what was happening, so a Japanese soldier angrily slammed open the door of the colonel's bedroom and reported the emergency military situation to Vogak. It's just that after the two of them talked to each other, neither of them understood what the other was saying, because the interpreter hadn't come yet.

However, at this time, the fierce gunfire from the bell tower had already said everything, and the city of Tianjin was attacked by enemy troops. Colonel Vogak suddenly fell asleep, immediately got up and dressed, and at the same time sent people to the concession outside the city to ask for help, and when Colonel Vogak arrived at the platform of the Bell and Drum Tower, at this time the crossing army had already started a fierce exchange of fire with the Japanese troops guarding the Bell and Drum Tower.

There are about 60 Japanese soldiers guarding the bell and drum tower, although it is a hasty response, but the Japanese soldiers are well-trained, and there are more than ten of them are veterans who participated in the First Sino-Japanese War, plus the bell and drum tower also has a stone platform available, so half of the Japanese soldiers are arranged on the stone platform, and half are arranged in the arched door hole under the stone platform to resist the attack of the passing army. The crossing army relied on the houses on both sides of Ximen Avenue as cover to fight back, and the distance between the two sides was only more than 100 meters.

Although the Japanese army has the advantage in numbers, and occupies the high ground, but the firepower of the crossing army is much more fierce, but it is not easy to occupy anything, but because it is a battle in the city, it is the famous bell and drum tower, the crossing army has some scruples, afraid of damaging this ancient building, and does not dare to easily use mortars, rocket artillery and other heavy fire weapons, so although the firepower is slightly superior, in a short time, it is still unable to suppress the defenders.

After a few minutes of fierce fighting, although more than a dozen Japanese soldiers were wounded and killed, five soldiers were also wounded in the crossing army, two of whom were seriously injured and could no longer fight. Luo Yue was also a little anxious in his heart, and at this time Liu Tiedao: "Platoon commander, use mortars, or rocket artillery, otherwise it will be difficult for us to take the Bell and Drum Tower." ”

Luo Yue thought for a while and said, "Let's try it with a grenade first, if the grenade doesn't work, then consider using mortars and rocket artillery, you cover me." ”

It turned out that Luo Yue considered that the power of gun grenades is much smaller than that of mortars and rocket artillery, but the lethality is not bad, and the damage to the bell and drum tower is much smaller, so it is better to use gun grenades than mortars and rocket artillery.

Liu Tie nodded, turned his head and shouted, "Machine gun group, fire suppression." ”

The two 95 squad machine gun crews immediately launched a fierce strafing fire on the bell and drum group, suppressing the enemy troops in the bell and drum tower. And Luo Yue also hung a grenade launcher on his Type 95 rifle, first fired a grenade at the arched doorway, and then fired another round at the stone platform.

"Boom" two explosions. The Japanese soldiers in the doorway and on the stone platform were immediately wounded and killed, and the most unfortunate was Colonel Vogak, who had just arrived on the stone platform, and the landing point of the second grenade was beside him, and he was blown up to a blur of flesh and blood, and died. And the Lord will be blown up, and the remaining Japanese soldiers on the stone platform will suddenly be in chaos, and the resistance will naturally drop greatly.

Although he didn't know that his second grenade hit Dacai, but the army's resistance could still be felt, Luo Yue of course knew that his two gun grenades must have achieved good results, and now Luo Yue has accumulated considerable combat experience, and will not miss this opportunity, and immediately fired another gun grenade into the doorway, and then under the cover of the machine gun, led a squad of soldiers to go to the bell and drum tower at full speed.

After running a distance of more than 100 meters, it was only more than ten seconds, and three gun grenades, although they failed to wipe out all the Japanese soldiers in the Bell and Drum Tower, but also caused most of the Japanese soldiers to be wounded and killed. Then follow the stone staircase and attack on the stone platform.

Just halfway up the climb, there was a gunshot on the stone staircase, a bullet almost grazed Luo Yue's cheek, and even could smell the smell of saltpeter, Luo Yue didn't have time to rejoice, and immediately raised his gun to shoot, a short point shot, only to hear a scream from outside the stone staircase, followed by the sound of the human body falling to the ground.

Luo Yue shot while rushing upward, and shot another Japanese soldier, and finally successfully stepped onto the stone platform, and then shot several short points in a row, killing two Japanese soldiers who rushed to the stone ladder, and then the other soldiers stepped on the stone platform one after another, and everyone launched a strafe together, and in a few seconds, all the remaining soldiers on the stone platform were killed.
