Chapter 152: The Enemy's Offensive Intent
On the highest point of the mountains and forests a few kilometers away in Beicheng, Matsushita Kudai stood on the edge of the headquarters, holding a telescope in his hand to observe the North City Gate of Zhuang County in the distance.
When he saw the collapse of the city wall bombarded by the artillery, his face showed a look of satisfaction, and there was a hint of ruthlessness in his joy.
In order to be able to break through the city gate, Wu Teng Shinan mobilized a lot of powerful long-range artillery to the Panasonic Wing.
"Order the infantry to charge and capture the north gate of Zhuang County!" Panasonic Kudai gave the order to the signal corps.
"Hayi!"
The devil communication soldier nodded his head, turned around and ran to the command headquarters to pick up the phone, and immediately conveyed the attack order to the attacking troops.
"Duck and chicken!"
"Duck and chicken!"
The devil soldiers hidden in the mountains and forests heard the order to charge and quickly emerged from the mountains and forests.
"Emperor ** people, invincible, rush"
More than 1,000 devils scattered in a straggler's line, and the enemy, armed with weapons in their hands, carrying grenadiers and mortars, rushed quickly towards the northern gate through the shelter of the trees.
These little devils, their legs are a little shorter, but the speed of running is really fast, even without the cover of tank armor, it didn't take long for the enemy to charge less than a kilometer away from the north city gate.
Out of the dense mountain forest, outside the north city gate is an open field, with few trees and not much shelter.
"Quick, quick, artillery to establish positions!"
Imp grenadiers and mortars set up defensive positions in field shelter points, suppressed artillery fire, and covered infantry attacks.
……
"Brothers, the little devils are rushing up, and each company should do a good job of defending and counterattacking!"
Hu Wenchang withstood the artillery fire, dodged the flying masonry, and ran on the corridor of the city wall to direct the soldiers to fight.
In the enemy towers, on the corridors of the city walls, in the city towers, and in the corner towers, the soldiers spread out defenses in various fortifications, the machine gunners pulled the bolts, and the grenadiers and mortars aimed at the attacking imps.
"Hurricane, hurricane, hurricane!"
More than a dozen mortar shells flew in one after another from the field outside the northern city, bombarding the corridors of the city walls.
Mortar shells do not have the power to break through cities, but they are still very lethal.
More than a dozen soldiers of the 321st Regiment were killed on the spot and fell in pools of blood, and several soldiers were even blown under the city wall by artillery shells.
Of course, the officers and men of the 2nd Battalion of the 321st Regiment were not vegetarians, and their weapons and equipment were not weak, and dozens of mortars and grenadiers continuously counterattacked and bombarded the devils.
"Da Da Da"
"Tutu Tu Tu"
"Boom Boom"
Fierce gunfire rang out at the North City Gate, shells from both sides flew back and forth, and bullets shuttled back and forth.
"Brothers, give Lao Tzu a hard beating!"
Hu Wenchang is worthy of being a cadre under Ma Yong, taking the lead in guarding the front line, he lies under the sandbag fortifications, pulls the trigger of the light gun machine, and frantically shoots the little devils outside the city.
Those who are officials are not afraid of death, and those who are soldiers are fighting to the end.
"Machine gun suppression, artillery fire suppression!"
Dense bullets, dense shells, rained down from the north gate to the outside of the city.
Countless stray bullets flew outside the city, splashing mud and stones on the field.
In a large battle environment, when encountering a large group of enemy charges, soldiers do not have much time to shoot accurately, and it is very likely that they will be blown in the head by stray bullets as soon as they emerge.
The battle is too fierce, as long as the ammunition is sufficient, the machine gunner will not be stupid enough to shoot in short bursts, and most of them use long point fire or trigger to the end to strafe and suppress.
According to statistics, more than 75 percent of the soldiers killed on both sides of the battlefield died from stray bullets, and only a very small number died from precision aiming and shooting.
"Ahh......h
The dozens of little devils who rushed to the front bore the brunt of the fire, and the enemy fell to the ground in pieces like wheat that had been cut to the ground.
"The imperial warriors are not allowed to retreat, take the north city gate, and give it to the ducks and chickens!"
The little devil fought very bravely, the machine gun team found a machine gun position nearby to suppress the soldiers on the city tower, and the rest of the devil infantry bent their waists, pulled the bolt and fired in a low motion, fearlessly rushing towards the city gate.
"Ammunition man, there are no bullets, send them over!"
"Medic, someone's injured, quick!"
"Adjust two more machine guns to Lao Tzu on the city tower, quickly!"
Ammunition men, medical teams, stretcher teams, risking stray bullets, walked back and forth on the North Gate Corridor to transport ammunition and treat the wounded.
The little devil aimed the key attack direction at the north city gate, and there were powerful mountain artillery suppressions in the distance, and mortars and grenadiers in the near distance, and the firepower was indeed fierce.
Both sides fought tenaciously, and after more than ten minutes of fighting, hundreds of soldiers of the Central Army fell in the fortifications of the North City Gate.
The little devils who charged and attacked also suffered heavy casualties, and in just such a short time, they had already suffered nearly two hundred casualties.
The combat effectiveness and weapons and equipment of the 321st Regiment are not weaker than those of the little devils, and the little devils are the attackers, and the casualties are definitely much more than those of the 321st Regiment.
Around the field outside the city, there were dozens of large and small shell craters, and a small devil wearing an earthy yellow army cotton jacket fell on the ground.
At this time, Li Hong and Panasonic Kudai were both looking in the direction of the North City Gate.
The fortifications of the 2nd Battalion of the 321st Regiment are strong and difficult to attack, and according to their tactical play, the little devils will suffer at least two brigades of casualties if they want to break through the North City Gate.
"Eight Ga Ya Road!"
In the distance, Matsushita Kudai held a telescope to observe the battle situation, when he saw that the attacking troops were frustrated, he scolded angrily, he did not expect that there were so many guards at the north city gate, judging from the firepower of the city gate, there was almost a brigade of firepower deployment.
"Baga, this damn Li Hong, where did he get so many troops?"
Matsushita Kudai twitched the corners of his mouth fiercely, and he couldn't figure out how many troops Li Hong's security regiment had.
Immediately, he ordered the mountain artillery unit to continue shelling the north city gate, and the fire coverage became more and more ferocious each time.
"Tom, tom, tom!"
A burst of shelling sounded from the devil's artillery position, and a row of 75-mm mountain artillery shells poured down towards the north gate.
More than a dozen cannonballs smashed on the city wall, the green bricks built on the wall splashed, the strong city wall shook suddenly, and there were several large holes blown out by shells on the outside of the wall.
The little devil artillery fired three salvos in a row, and under the powerful destructive power of the shells, a corner of the north city gate collapsed, and more than a dozen soldiers of the Central Army were all buried under the brick wall.
"Camp, camp!"
Several soldiers of the 321st Regiment shouted in unison, and they pulled Hu Wenchang out of the masonry rubble.
Hu Wenchang shook his head vigorously, shook off the bricks and stones on his body, and roared loudly: "Leave me alone, Lao Tzu is fine, hurry, take the brothers to guard the collapsed city wall, and definitely don't let the little devils rush into the city." ”
