Chapter 23: Full Swing

"Boom! Rumble! Rumble! ”“……”

"Dadada" "......"

The fierce battle between the two sides was in full swing in Lanfeng City, and fierce gunfire and artillery could be heard everywhere. In the course of the battle, the devils fought for every inch of land, the defenders refused to give up an inch of land, and the level of fierce fighting entered a climax at the beginning.

"Hit!"

"Dadada" "......"

At the main traffic junctions in the city, this area was fortified with strong fortifications, which the defenders used to carry out strong resistance with heavy firepower, and fire points were arranged in the buildings and alleys on both sides to assist in the defense of the central fire.

The attacking devils used the bunkers on both sides of the street, gradually crossed the cover to attack, and suppressed the fire points on both sides of the road with grenades and rifle fire.

In addition, the grenadiers and machine guns in the rear simultaneously attacked the defenders in the fortifications, covering the frontal troops of the road. There were also troops that spread out to both sides of the street, engaging in fierce street battles with the defenders.

The devils besieged on three sides and continued to gradually encroach on various areas, with the aim of compressing the defenders in the middle area. However, this offensive did not work very well, and not only did it struggle, but it also paid a heavy price.

"Boom!" "Boom!" “……”

The defenders not only had strong fortifications and met the enemy head-on with strong firepower, but also had mortars and grenadiers in the rear as fire support. In addition, the devils are often bombarded by unknown grenades during the attack, and the entire neighborhood is shrouded in fire and smoke from time to time.

The battle entered the stage of white deterioration, and both sides fought with all their might. In such an environment, it seems that the battle of wits between the commanders of the two sides is not important, but the morale of the fighters and the will to fight either you die or die.

The battle situation in front was continuously transmitted back to the headquarters of the Devil Brigade, and the headquarters was shrouded in an oppressive atmosphere. The defenders suddenly opened up with full combat strength, and the devils who fought were caught off guard for a while.

Lan Feng felt like an unbreakable stubborn stone to the devils, and he couldn't shake it if he attacked.

Kondo was already mentally prepared, and he knew it when the defenders didn't entangle with him and easily gave up the outside line. But Kondo didn't expect that the defenders would be deployed so carefully, interlocking, airtight, fierce, and skillful.

The devil Shaozuo sighed: "I have never seen such a style of play. There were only 300 men on the other side, but it turned out that there were their soldiers everywhere. In many areas, my soldiers were often attacked with black guns, often under unidentified grenades or grenades, and when we tried to fight back, we couldn't even see the other side's figure. ”

Kondo replied: "The other party took advantage of the geographical advantage and fought quickly and flexibly. The enemy is familiar with every house, every street, and then cooperates with each other to cover the battle. Our soldiers are professionally trained, but they are also powerful in the face of such a style of fighting. This method of warfare is similar to the guerrilla warfare of the Eighth Route Army in North China, but it is fundamentally different. ”

"Kondo-kun, are you making excuses for your loss?"

This sentence made Kondo unhappy, what is "your defeat", the battle has just begun, and these people are in a hurry to throw the pot on themselves.

"It's not." Kondo's expression was still calm, and he said, "Regardless of victory or defeat, this battle report must be written in detail, and he will be of great help to us in future battles." ”

That Shao Zuo didn't want to dwell on this, and continued: "More than that. We even lost to each other in firepower. We used small-caliber grenadiers, and the enemy used French-made mortars of 82mm caliber. In addition, in some important strongholds, the enemy also used 22mm caliber machine guns. Kondo-kun, how are you going to fight next? Still don't want to send out the troops of the West Side? ”

The sacrifice was so great that this Shaozo couldn't sit still, and there was a strong threat in his tone.

Kondo replied softly: "Can't move, that's a trump card in my hand." Those eighty will be a great psychological deterrent to the enemy. He was like a sword hanging in the air, not knowing when it would fall. If it does fall, it must be fatal. Also, do you think the enemy will be defenseless? ”

The infantry cavalry itself was not considered cavalry, it belonged to the infantry, and the soldiers only used their horses as tools to move quickly. However, the combat effectiveness and equipment of soldiers are higher than those of ordinary infantry, and they belong to special forces. Kondo wants to use him as a trump card and play it at a critical time.

Kondo looked at that Shaozuo's uncertain appearance and smiled: "Everything is expected, don't be so nervous." The three-sided siege just now naturally has my reasons. ”

"What's the truth?"

"The index finger has a long and short point, and so does the deployment of troops, and the siege on three sides is for this purpose. Although we can't destroy the enemy in the shadows, as long as we break through the strongholds on the enemy's road, those shrimp soldiers and crabs will naturally be self-defeating. Once one direction is cleared by me, it is only a matter of time before the enemy is eliminated from the other directions. ”

Immediately, Kondo ordered the attacking troops in the east and south directions to stalemate and contain the defenders, and ordered the troops in the north to attack with all their might, and sent reinforcements.

Lan closed the city, a crossroads.

The bodies of eight devils lay across the rubble, and their dead images were very ugly.

Xiao Zhan was covered in the blood of the enemy, his face was blackened by gunsmoke, and the only thing that was clear was his eyes with strong fighting intent.

Xiao Zhan was surrounded by twelve soldiers from the guard platoon, some of whom had been injured and treated, and their task was to clear out the devils who had infiltrated the alley area.

"As long as you have grenades, nothing else."

"Yes."

As soon as the battle was over, the warriors only collected grenades from the devils in order to buy time.

At this time, a column of smoke was emitted from the north, which was different from the smoke and was caused by man.

When Xiao Zhan saw it, he said: "It's the engineer company that has an accident, let's go!" ”

The devil launched a fierce attack on the north, and Xiao Zhan immediately led his team to support.

The artillery fire in the north was fierce, while the fighting in the east and south seemed to have weakened considerably.

"Company Commander Zhao! How's it going? ”

Xiao Zhan arrived with his team as soon as possible.

Behind the sandbag fortifications, Zhao Guangfu held a submachine gun in his hand, his eyes were full of dust, and he said: "The enemy's attack suddenly became fierce, and smoke bombs were used, and two large strongholds were broken at once, while our second defense area only had five important strongholds. ”

After explaining the situation, Zhao Guangfu asked, "Look, what should I do now?"

Xiao Zhan looked at the stronghold in front of him, although there were sappers to defend, but their fighting will was not inferior to their own steel company, after all, they were all veterans, they had experienced the Battle of Songhu and the Battle of Nanjing, and blood and fire forged their will to fight.

The overall defense was based on squads, with the cooperation of machine guns and mortars, and some stragglers and guard platoons assisted in the defense on the left and right flanks. But now the devil has seen the weak side, so he carries out targeted attacks.

Why did Kondo choose the north to attack? The east side was originally the best, but the east side was the main force of the steel company; The south is weak, but it is too far away from the base camp like the west, and logistics and reinforcements cannot be in place in time. Finally, I chose the north side as a compromise.

"Company commander!"

At this moment, Zheng Binghao also rushed to support with his team, and Xiao Zhan asked, "Is it okay in the south?" ”

Zheng Binghao said: "The devil attack has weakened, and now it is in a state of confrontation. A platoon, a third platoon, and a machine-gun squad on the east side should be fine, and it is not a big problem for me to leave a guard squad on the south side. How's it going over here? ”

Xiao Zhan didn't have time to answer, he said to Zhao Guangfu: "The devil wants to play with fire, and I will accompany him to the end." Ordered the troops, not to resist stubbornly, and to retreat one by one. ”

Zhao Guangfu immediately conveyed Xiao Zhan's latest order.

"Boom Boom" "Boom Boom" "......"

The grenadiers and mortars in the rear launched fire suppression on the devils who were attacking in front. The soldiers of the two squads of the engineer company took advantage of this round of artillery bombardment to quickly go to the next fortification with wounded soldiers and ammunition, and then continued to block and consume the devil's vital strength.
