Chapter 31: The Battle of the West Gate
The devil commander is already busy now. As soon as the transfer station stopped, the devil commander was wondering if he would take someone to the West Gate to find out. While the commander was thinking, two ghost soldiers appeared at his door. One of them shouted "Report"
The devil commander looked in the direction of the door and shouted, "Come in??" ”
At this time, two devils standing at the door walked in, and the devil commander looked at these two people and asked, "Do you have anything to do?" ”
"Sir, we're in charge of checking the phone lines." One of the devils replied.
When the devil commander heard this, his face was full of anticipation, "How is it??" Telephone line repaired?? "The commander is now eager to hear good news.
The two devils shook their heads at first, and then one of the devils said tremblingly, "Report sir, those people are too cunning, they not only destroyed the line but also took away a very long wire in the middle, our base currently does not have such a long wire."
"Isn't it enough to tie all the spare wires together??"
The two devils nodded.
"Yaga, these cunning Shina people!!" The devil commander's anger reached its peak at once, and at the same time, he clenched his fists and tried to vent his anger.
The two devils standing in front of the devil commander were afraid to move in place, and lowered their heads and eyes to look at the floor under their feet.
"By the way, you can go to the headquarters and see if there are any spare wires." Commander Devil is furious, but now IQ is still online.
As soon as the devil commander's voice fell, another devil soldier came to the door.
The devil commander just saw it and waved to the door, just let the devil at the door come in directly.
After the devil at the door walked in, the commander of the devil looked at the devil a little anxiously, "What's the matter with you??" "Commander Devil really doesn't want to hear any more bad news.
This devil first glanced at the two people standing next to him with his peripheral vision, and then lowered his head, "Report to the sir, there is a fire on the headquarters side", the fire on the headquarters side is getting smaller and bigger, and it is already felt by the devils in the transfer station.
Sometimes, people are angry to the extreme, but they will appear extraordinarily calm and without waves, and the devil commander just said very calmly: "Order all personnel to assemble." ”
The devil commander who has temporarily lost his mind wants to dispatch all the troops of the transit station to encircle and suppress the Eighth Route Army at Ximen. The devil commander is eager to arrest all the eight roads of Ximen now, and then all of them will be broken into thousands of pieces.
After the assembly, the commander of the devil took almost all the troops of the transit station and stopped in front of the headquarters first.
At this time, the transit station was almost empty, except for those who were responsible for guarding the arsenal.
The devil commander looked at the skyrocketing flames of the headquarters, they were obviously a step too late.
Looking at the raging fire in front of him, the devil commander had thought about putting out the fire before, but now he had to give up. He didn't stop too much at the headquarters, and went straight to the west gate with his troops.
Shen Yunjie and the others were all ready, just waiting for the devils to come, but what Shen Yunjie didn't expect was that the devils would actually go out.
The battle had been fought since half past five to a little past seven o'clock, and the sky had begun to darken.
Shen Yunjie looked at the large number of devils under the city tower, a little scared and worried, Shen Yunjie was not afraid that he would die, but he was worried that the devils would not be able to get rid of the enemy for too long with so many troops on his side.
The commander of the ninth company glanced at the city and then hid behind the bunker and lit a cigarette. The commander of the ninth company spat smoke from his mouth, "This time I can fight happily." The commander of the Ninth Company also knew in his heart that the next battle would be a tough battle and not easy to fight.
The devil didn't attack at the first time, but first opened the posture and set up the formation.
In the south of the city, Feng Yipeng had already led the 735th Regiment to completely break through the south gate of the devil, and the whole regiment had all poured into the city.
The devils, whose gates had been lost, did not flee, but relied on the buildings on both sides of the street to start fighting and retreating.
The surrounding people closed their doors and windows and hid in a place that they thought was safe.
There is no one else on the street except for the Eighth Route Army and devils, and the 735th Regiment is still advancing slowly.
One of the squadron leaders said to his soldiers: "You guys, return to the transit station as soon as possible, inform the commander of the situation here, and ask the commander to send troops to support him." ”
The commander of the devils in the west of the city spread out his formation and began to attack the castle tower.
The devil first sent more than 30 people, and the devil slowly approached the city tower. Shen Yunjie: They endured it at first and didn't make a move.
These thirty or so devils were still more than a hundred meters away from the city gate, when Shen Yunjie on the city tower began to fight back.
The first reaction of these devils was to look for cover, but the devils around them who were now bare had to hurriedly retreat.
The devils didn't take advantage of the first wave of attempted attacks, and they sacrificed more than a dozen devils in vain.
Only then did the devil commander realize that there was already an open terrain in front of the city gate. Immediately afterwards, the commander of the devil sighed, "If only I had infantry artillery in my hand now, it's a pity that all the infantry artillery is concentrated on the front line." "That's true, the devil now only has artillery shells that need to be sent to the front.
When the devils attacked again, the devils in front slowly approached the castle tower, and the devils behind each had a stone in their hands, and the devil commander wanted to use the stones to build a simple defensive bunker as a support point for himself.
The devils in front covered the devils behind them, and after placing the stones in the designated position, they quickly withdrew. Although you can only take one stone at a time, the more times you go, the stones gradually pile up into simple defensive bunkers.
The Devil's Heavy advanced to the rocks and began to strafe the towers with cover to cover their siege troops.
The devils began to attack on a large scale, although there were many devils, but Shen Yunjie and they now occupy a high geographical advantage, condescendingly counterattacking the devils, and the devils' attacks have been repeatedly frustrated.
The fighting was fierce and unusual, with heavy casualties on both sides.
Once the weather starts to get dark, it will get dark very quickly.
It hadn't been half an hour and it was already dark. Both sides of the field of vision have been affected to varying degrees.
Shen Yunjie, the others and the devil suddenly fell silent, and the noisy gunfire in the west of the city disappeared in an instant and became very quiet. The change in the sky indirectly helped the Eighth Route Army, and Shen Yunjie and they could finally get a respite.
Shen Yunjie also hurriedly took advantage of the gap when the devil stopped attacking, and hurriedly lit a cigarette and smoked it. You can also take a short break.
The commander of the ninth company sat next to Shen Yunjie, "Xiao Shen, how many people are there on your side?" ”
Shen Yunjie replied lightly, "Less than twenty"
The commander of the ninth company was stunned, although his side suffered heavy casualties, he couldn't rely on it, and there were more than 40 people, nearly 50.
This number was indeed a bit shocking to the ninth company commander, and the ninth company commander looked at Shen Yunjie, "Why don't you transfer a few people from me first?" ”
Shen Yunjie shook his head, "Thank you, I appreciate your kindness."
At this point, the Ninth Company Commander didn't say anything more, if he insisted any longer, he felt like he was sympathizing with Shen Yunjie.
The two of them sat there without anyone talking, probably for more than ten minutes, and the devil did not move at all, and he should be resting.
The Ninth Company Commander looked up at the sky, and then said to his platoon commander beside him, "It seems that the secret weapon we prepared is time to appear." ”
Shen Yunjie stared at the Ninth Company Commander in surprise when he heard this, "What??" You even have a secret weapon?? Tell me what the hell is the secret weapon?? Shen Yunjie was obviously full of curiosity now.
It didn't take much effort, Shen Yunjie looked at the torch in the hand of the ninth company commander, and looked at the ninth company commander with a slightly disappointed expression: "Don't tell me, this torch is the secret weapon you prepared??" ”
The commander of the ninth company nodded at Shen Yunjie.
"I've been happy for a long time, I thought I was really preparing some secret weapon," it seems that Shen Yunjie has some overexpectations.
"Well, you'll know the power of this torch in a moment." After speaking, the commander of the ninth company ordered the others to light torches.
When the torches burned very strongly, the commander of the ninth company ordered the torches to be thrown at the devils under the castle tower.
Don't misunderstand, the commander of the ninth company didn't expect these torches to burn the devil, the commander of the ninth company wanted to use the light of the torches to determine the specific location of the devil.
In an instant, more than two dozen torches were thrown down at the same time, and the torches fell near the devil.
More than thirty devils exposed their current location to the Eighth Route Army under the light of the torches.
When the torch was thrown down, the moment he saw the devil, the commander of the ninth company immediately ordered to shoot. The fighters aimed at the devil in the fire and began to shoot.
Before the exposed devils could react, half of them had already been hit by the Eighth Route Army. The rest of the living devils reacted and hurriedly retreated away from the torches.
The commander of the ninth company looked at Shen Yunjie with some anger, "How is it??" My secret weapon is okay, right? ”
Shen Yunjie only gave a thumbs up after the operation of the ninth company commander, "Amazing, amazing!" To be honest, Shen Yunjie didn't expect that the torch could be used like this before.
Of course, the devil's side is not willing to be beaten passively all the time, and this loss can't be eaten in vain, and the devil commander immediately came up with a corresponding strategy.
The devil commander called a squadron leader, and then said to the squadron leader: "You immediately send someone back to the transfer station to bring the searchlights and generators." The devil commander thought for a moment and added, "Let's move four searchlights." ”
After receiving the order, the squadron leader led the men back to the transfer station to carry the searchlights.
The Devil Commander ordered the others to stay away from the city gates, find a hidden place and wait for the searchlights.
The commander of the ninth company ordered to throw torches to the city again, but this time no devils were found near the torches, and the commander of the ninth company also understood that the devils had taken precautions when they looked at this posture. The commander of the Ninth Company did not waste any more torches.
To be honest, Shen Yunjie and the others are not in a hurry now, and they are more willing to spend it like this with the devil. Anyway, Shen Yunjie, their task now is to drag the devil.
Shen Yunjie and the others continued to rest except for those who observed the enemy's situation.
Simon was quiet again.
