Chapter 54: Tug of War

"Company commander, what should I do?"

At a distance of about 100 meters from the gap, the 3rd Battalion and 8th Company of the 626th Regiment, which came to plug the gap, were suppressed by the devils behind a private house and could not move for a while.

Under the cover of grenadiers and machine guns, the devils quickly occupied the gap in the wall, so that they had no choice but to storm the city.

Now that the Japanese army has just occupied the gap, the bunkers and fortifications have not been built, and it is also their best chance to counterattack, if they wait for the devils to increase their troops, all kinds of defensive facilities have been built, and then if they want to attack again, I am afraid that the losses will increase a lot.

The commander of the eighth company squatted behind a low wall, his eyes were about to erupt fire, his task was to plug the gap and prevent the devils from entering the city, if he just let the devils in, how could he have the face to explain to the battalion commander.

"In a moment a row came round the left, and approached the gap by the alley; The second row detoured from the right, close to the land temple over there, and the third row followed me here to attract the attention of the devils. After carefully observing the surrounding terrain, the commander of the eighth company made a battle plan.

The fighters immediately moved, and all the machine gunners were concentrated here, and the only four heavy machine guns and twelve Czech light machine guns in the whole company were all deployed here, and the first and second platoons responsible for the raid were all light weapons, in order to be mobile.

Seeing the soldiers disappear into the night, the commander of the eighth company returned and yelled at the machine gunners, "Hit me hard and attract the devil's firepower." ”

Sixteen light and heavy machine guns opened fire together, and the sound was quite spectacular, and the fire of the opposite wall was splashed and the dust was rising.

The devils did not show weakness, and the light and heavy machine guns opened fire together, mixed with the firing of grenadiers, and the place was scorched.

The battle between the two sides was stalemate, and it seemed that it would not be over for a while.

On the left, a platoon leader led the warriors to take advantage of the cover of their houses and stealthily towards the city walls, taking a route between low houses, occasionally climbing waist-high earthen walls or burrowing through people's fences.

In this way, they approached the city wall little by little, but when they came to the courtyard closest to the city wall, they found that it was still about twenty meters away from the gap occupied by the devils.

Twenty meters, although the distance is not too far, but the devils there are heavily guarded, several machine guns are on standby, if you want to rush through this open field, I am afraid that the loss will be great.

A long row of people crouched at the head of the low wall, staring at the devils opposite, meditating on a way.

One of the warriors looked at the open field beside him, and then said to himself, "It's so far, how can you get there, unless it turns into a bird and flies over." ”

"What did you say?" The platoon leader suddenly felt a move in his heart, and he hurriedly asked, "What did you just say?" ”

"Platoon commander, I'm just whining." The soldier thought that the platoon commander was angry, so he hurriedly explained, but the platoon commander ignored this and said in a deep voice, "I let you say it, what kind of nonsense." ”

The warrior didn't dare to say more, and repeated what he had just said word for word.

The platoon leader chewed on these words carefully, and his eyes suddenly lit up, "By the way, there is a way." ”

"What's the solution?"

A platoon leader stretched out his hand and pointed to a tall pine tree under the opposite city wall, the pine tree was about ten meters high, and four or five people could not surround it hand in hand, it seemed to be thousands of years old.

The branches on this pine tree are vertical and horizontal, and the thinnest main branch is the thickness of a person's arm, and it is no problem for a person to stand on it.

The platoon leader turned around and shouted to a soldier beside him, "Zhou Weiguo!" ”

A small warrior walked over, carrying a cloth bag on his back, bulging inside, as if stuffed with something.

Coming to the front of a platoon leader, Zhou Weiguo said, "Platoon commander, what's the matter?" ”

"See the pine trees over there?" A platoon leader stretched out his finger and pointed to the pine tree more than ten meters away, and then continued, "Shoot the rope to that tree for me." ”

"That's a bit of a distance, platoon commander." Zhou Weiguo measured the distance between them, and couldn't help frowning, frowning, "I'll try it and see if it can succeed." ”

The platoon leader glared, "It's not a try, it's sure to give me success." ”

Zhou Weiguo had to nod, then took off the cloth bag from his back, then opened it and took out the contents inside.

Three times five divided by two, he finished combining the things in it, it turned out to be a bow and crossbow, but it looked a little rough, compared to the multi-functional sniper crossbow of the Huya Special Operations Brigade, it was obviously more than one grade worse.

The sniper crossbow of the Huya Special Operations Brigade was shot by Mo Yanran, which can not only shoot crossbow arrows, but also shoot some supporting equipment, such as climbing ropes or something.

Using the power of the sniper crossbow, the soldiers of the Huya Special Operations Brigade can even shoot the rope from a distance of 100 meters with an error of no more than 10 centimeters. Of course, this can only be done with the cooperation of sniper scopes.

Picking up the assembled bow and crossbow, Zhou Weiguo pressed a very slender rope into the sword groove, then installed the cloud hook at the front, and finally connected the rope with the cloud hook.

Raising the sniper crossbow, Zhou Weiguo first wrinkled his nose and sniffed in the air, determined the wind direction and speed, and silently calculated the angle that needed to be corrected in his heart.

When everything was almost over, Zhou Weiguo raised his bow and crossbow, closed one eye and aimed at the ancient pine tree opposite. As he held his breath, the crosssight of the crossbow was aimed at a branch of the ancient tree opposite.

"Whoosh!"

The crossbow launched a rope, across a distance of more than ten meters, and flew into it accurately, between the branches of the ancient tree, the cloud hook looped twice on a thigh-thick branch due to inertia, and then hung the rope.

Zhou Weiguo's rope is made of several raw materials, it is very tough, even if several people pull it hard at the same time, it can be kept continuous, so it is easy to pass one person.

He tied the other end of the rope to a mound in the courtyard, then turned back to the platoon leader and said, "Alright, platoon leader." ”

The leader of the platoon saw that Zhou Weiguo had erected the rope bridge, so he waved his hand and was the first to rush towards the rope bridge, "Follow me." ”

Starting from a long platoon, the warriors followed one by one along the rope towards the opposite side, one by one cautiously lest they make a sound.

Under the pressure of four or five people, the rope showed a considerable arc, but it was still three or four meters above the ground, and because of the cover of night, the Japanese soldiers at the breach in the city wall could not see it at all.

Soon, the platoon leader had climbed to the end of the rope, and he reached out and grabbed the branch, jumped lightly onto the tree, and then slipped down the tree.

The soldiers came one after another, and a few stayed over there, ready to attack the devil on both sides and catch the devil off guard.

This big tree is already close to the city wall, so everyone can lean against the city wall at once, so as not to be discovered by the devils.

The platoon leader whispered, "Check the weapons." ”

Everyone pulled the bolt of the gun and checked the gun in their hands, because there was the sound of gunfire everywhere, so the devil couldn't hear the sound of pulling the bolt very close to them, and he couldn't find the group of death squad fighters who were about to attack them.

Seeing that everyone was ready, the platoon leader took a deep breath, held his shell gun, and then suddenly flashed out from behind the wall, and fired a shot with his hand raised.

The devils at the gap in the city wall fell down in response, followed by grenades flying out from a corner of the city wall not far from them, covering the devil's position.

Boom, boom, boom, the grenade exploded, and the devil was thrown out of the fortification, and even the fortification was blown to pieces.

"Rush!" A platoon of long men rushed out of the shadows with shell guns in their hands, shouting and leading the charge towards the devil soldiers, and the soldiers behind him followed as they shot.

At this time, in a land temple on the right side of the gap in the city wall, the temple door suddenly opened, and then a group of soldiers of the Northeast Army rushed out from inside, led by the second platoon leader, and they also roared and rushed to the position of the devils.

The commander of the eighth company, who was holding back the enemy's fire in the front, stood up excitedly, picked up the light machine gun beside him, and roared angrily, "Brothers, rush with me, take the position, and drive the little devil out." ”

"Rush, get the little devil out!" The warriors shouted, and the tide rushed towards the breaches of the wall.

They were caught off guard, and a team of devils at the gap in the city wall were beaten and retreated, although they were also fighting hard, but they were already at a disadvantage, so they had to retreat outside the city wall in the end.

Of course, the commander of the eighth company knew that the devil would not give up and would definitely organize a counterattack soon, so after occupying the gap in the city wall, he ordered his soldiers to change the direction of the devil's fortification bunker and rebuild it to face the outside, so that the devil's fortification bunker could be used to block the devil's attack.

Sure enough, it didn't take long for the position to be built, and the shelling of the devils came as scheduled, but fortunately they had already taken refuge in the shelter, so the shelling of the devils did not cause many casualties.

While paying attention to the shelling of the devils, the commander of the eighth company shouted to the soldiers around him, "Everyone pay attention, the devils will attack after the shelling, everyone must be vigilant, and in addition, we must guard against the devils' roundabout sneak attacks to avoid encountering the same fate as the devils." ”

The warriors responded one after another, and then rushed to their respective combat positions.

The platoon commander looked at the city walls on both sides of the gap, and then turned his head and shouted to the eighth company commander, "Company commander, we can send a few people up, so that we can greatly suppress the firepower of the devils and facilitate defense." ”

When the commander of the eighth company heard this, he immediately ordered a platoon commander to lead a few people to climb the city wall along the jagged city bricks, and set up a machine-gun position on each side to prepare to suppress the enemy.

By this time, the devil's troops had already come up, their machine guns were clearing, and the infantry were hiding behind a chariot, bowing their heads and holding their guns forward, ready to retake the gap in the wall.
