Chapter 302: Swift as Thunder (Part 1)

"Bang-

"Bang-"

"Bang-"

At the beginning of the morning and the dawn was approaching, three red signal flares rushed into the sky with a screaming sound, instantly dyeing the small county town in the mountains that had not yet awakened inside and out into a blood-red color. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info

The awakened defender sentries at the north and south of the city were still looking at the sky in horror, and patches of mortar shells were already whistling.

"Woo-"

"Boom Red—"

The sound of violent explosions continued, and the dazzling flames lit up and down the city, and the thick smoke of gunpowder mixed with stumps, broken arms, and broken bricks and tiles rose into the sky.

The heavy eaves tower above the north gate shook violently in the billowing smoke, and soon collapsed in the third round of cannonballs.

The broken beam slammed into the gap in the women's wall and bounced again, just in time to be hit in the air by a lightning-fast cannonball.

Fragments and sawdust flew in the air with the light of fire, shining like a fireflower.

"Hurry! Follow me—"

The young demolition captain stumbled to his feet, clutched the bag of explosives in his arms, hissed and shouted, fearlessly rushing to the closed gate in front of him amid round after round of deafening explosions. The four demolition team members behind him hurriedly got up, gritted their teeth to follow, followed the example of the captain, held the explosive bag high above their heads, slid diagonally down the filthy moat, and waded across the chest-deep moat under the glow of red light.

Even so, two demolition crews and their explosives packs were still lying quietly on the shore at the back, apparently stunned by the violent explosion.

The city was in shambles.

More than a dozen defenders had already been blown away by the dense flow of mortar shells, and the two machine guns set up directly above the city gate, along with seven officers and men, had been buried by the collapsed tower.

The fortifications on both sides of the city tower had already been torn apart, and a few cannonballs flying over the city wall fell into the warehouse inside the city gate, causing the fire to burn more and more fiercely in the hot air current, almost illuminating half of the city.

"What's going on? So noisy? ”

"No, no, it's gunshots and explosions!"

"It seems to be a cannon shot, and the warehouse next door is set on fire......"

"It's not good, the communist army is coming!"

"Oh my god, run away!"

There was chaos in the barracks on the edge of the warehouse, and hundreds of defenders woke up from their sleep and rushed out of the barracks in disheveled clothes, and the sky and the earth were red, and the sound of gunfire, artillery, explosions, and the sizzling of the houses burning violently were intertwined. In addition, the screams and screams of those injured by the flying shell fragments, as well as the desperate moans of people suddenly facing danger, filled the ears and made people lose the courage to resist in an instant.

Sure enough, the rabble of the Liancheng Security Regiment was frightened by the fierce blows of the Red Army officers and soldiers, and they rushed left and right like crazy, and it took a while to wake up to the fact that the barracks are undoubtedly the most dangerous place at present, and staying here is not looking for death?

As a result, the soldiers did not even care about the shouting and shouting of the junior officers, and did not even bother to go back to the barracks to get their weapons, and rushed out of the barracks in a terrified manner, and ran along the street corners in the direction of the city far from the city gates, and none of them dared to go up to the city tower to check what was going on, let alone resist.

At this time, outside the city wall, the demolition team members of the five instructors and the third regiment had already put five explosive bags on the closed city gate, pulled the fuse under the burning powder bag in unison, and then fled quickly along the foot of the city wall regardless of it, rushed out of fifty meters and jumped off the moat, and then squatted down against the river embankment in the direction of the city wall.

"Boom—"

An earth-shattering explosion rang out.

The north gate, together with the bricks above, rose into the air with a huge fireball, and the thick smoke of gunpowder swayed up like an angry dragon, and for a time the mountains shook and shook as bright as day.

"Crackle-"

"Gollum—"

"Whoa-

All the buildings within a radius of 100 meters inside the city gate collapsed in pieces under the destruction of the screaming shock wave, and the 2,000 soldiers who were crawling 500 meters away from the north gate and ready to attack, although they covered their ears to death, were still shocked by the huge explosion and dizzy.

"Rumble—"

The aftermath of the explosion, which covered all the sounds between heaven and earth, was still echoing in the mountains, and an earth-shattering explosion was heard again in the south of Liancheng City, and the ground within a radius of ten miles shook violently.

It was only at this time that the two thousand Sect Mentor soldiers who were ambushed outside the north gate suddenly discovered that the city was already full of red light...... The original north gate and the collapsed castle tower have long been gone, and only two thick wooden piles remain on the suspended suspension bridge, replaced by a gap in the city wall that is more than 20 meters wide.

"Tick-tock-"

The loud trumpet of the charge suddenly sounded, and the soldiers of the three regiments who had woken up jumped up from the ground, picked up their guns and charged forward.

The soldiers of the second and third battalions were not far behind, and the battalion and company commanders took the lead in jumping into the moat on both sides of the city gate in order to gain time.

Seeing the soldiers of the three regiments so fast and brave, Zhang Dingcheng at the rear of the position only felt hot and bloody, until the two thousand soldiers all rushed into the wide gap in the city wall, Zhang Dingcheng recovered from the huge shock, slowly turned to Li Lianshan, who was looking at the direction of the city with a smile on his face, and asked: "Are all your instructors and regiments so strong?" ”

Li Lianshan was stunned for a while, remembered the advice of the boss Zheng Yi before departure, and finally decided to answer truthfully: "It's basically the same, but each has its own strengths......"

"The first regiment I was in was good at defense and long-distance running, the second regiment stationed in Nanshan Town was good at attacking fortifications, and the third regiment you saw just now was better at night fighting!"

"As for the Fourth Regiment stationed in Ruijin, because nearly half of the officers and soldiers are recruits who have not yet been tested in actual combat, they have not yet formed their own unique style."

"But on the whole, the most comprehensive ability is the guard regiment...... The 2,100 officers and men of our guard regiment were almost all composed of outstanding veterans drawn from the main regiments, and there was a great tendency for them to come from behind, and in this battle they took over from the 2nd Regiment to guard Nanshan Town, and the 2nd Regiment was able to come and join us with the 3rd Regiment to flank Liancheng. ”

Zhang Dingcheng nodded again and again, admiring, he looked at the direction of the city where the gunshots were constantly ringing and shouting to kill the sky, and quickly turned his head again, and asked curiously: "I heard that your instructor also has an artillery battalion directly under him, why haven't you seen a shadow all this time?" ”

"We do have an artillery battalion directly under us, but at the moment the battalion is stationed in Ruijin, and it is still training, and it will not be able to be pulled into the battlefield for a while. In addition, our troops do not have much ammunition in stock, and it is estimated that they cannot meet the consumption of live-fire training, and they need to replenish ammunition before they can have combat effectiveness. ”

After Li Lianshan finished speaking, he saw the red flag fluttering in the wind on the city wall in the distance, which was particularly bright and dazzling against the backdrop of the oriental caixia, he smiled slightly and patted Zhang Dingcheng's shoulder: "This battle is almost over, take your brothers, let's go into the city." ”
