In the early morning, the surroundings of Linyi were foggy at this time, and Taoyuan Town was naturally shrouded in fog.

"Battalion commander, Hu Xinli's company may have occupied the hotel in the center of the town"

In the position of a battalion of the 59th Army on the opposite side of Taoyuan Town, the battalion commander raised his eyes and listened to the report of his second company commander with a look of surprise.

"Got a lot of information?" He asked, confused. Last night's attack, a single person did not retreat, the direction of the company's attack was the area of the Central Hotel, and this direction was also the area where the devil's defense was strongest, and he subconsciously thought that the company had been completely wiped out.

The second company commander shook his head and continued.

"I went to the front line just now to observe, the devil's position is very strange, their heavy machine guns have bunkers in both directions, and there are many devils guarding the center of the town, and I didn't find the devil's firepower point in the hotel in the center of the town."

"This is very strange, the Central Hotel is the only commanding height in the town, and it is also a place where our army and the devils must fight, and its structure is strong, it is difficult to destroy it unless it is heavy artillery, and any army that occupies Taoyuan Town will inevitably deploy heavy machine gun positions"

"The only possibility is that Hu Lixin has occupied the Central Hotel"

Hearing the commander of his second company, the battalion commander recalled the position he had observed before, it seemed to be the case, at that time he focused on observing the devil's position firepower and soldier deployment, and he didn't think too much about it for a while, but now after thinking about it carefully, the devil's position deployment does have a large component of internal defense.

The single-sided defense of the position structure of the double-sided defense will be greatly reduced, even if the devil has a high fever in his brain, he will not do this, there must be an enemy inside the town to guard against, and there must be a lot of people, otherwise the devil would have been wiped out in one go, why do you need to defend?

"Interesting"

Although the battalion commander did not know how the first company commander Hu Lixin did it, this was an excellent message for him, he was now facing a squadron of devils, and formally he was at a disadvantage, with heavy losses in soldiers, a serious shortage of equipment and ammunition, and the soldiers were also tired and sleepy. Continuing with the previous situation, he would be completely kicked out of Taoyuan Town sooner or later, but now the situation has changed.

One of his companies occupied the Central Hotel, the commanding height in the center of the town, which was like planting a nail in the center of the devil's position, and it would nail the devil to death, and it would be absolutely impossible for the devil to continue the attack until the nail was removed.

The building structure of the Central Hotel is destined to be easy to defend and difficult to attack, and it is not easy for the devil to capture it, so as long as he seizes the opportunity and gives the devil a meal when the devil attacks the hotel, then the situation in Taoyuan Town will be reversed.

Then the battalion commander looked at the time. 6:30 a.m.

"Inform the troops to assemble, distribute all the remaining ammunition, as soon as the devils attack, we will immediately storm the devils' positions" The battalion commander's tone was full of excitement.

"Yes," the second company commander saluted, and ran all the way to the temporary camp behind him.

······

"Attack!"

"Kill, give!"

At half past six in the morning, Goat Er brandished his command knife and pointed at the Central Hotel in Taoyuan Town, and behind him, his last reserve team of nine began to attack the Central Hotel.

The Kujo Squad consisted of fifty-five people, all of whom had survived many battles, and these old devils were divided into three groups, and they bent over, leaned against the broken walls, and held the 38 big cover equipped with bayonets, and began to attack along the main entrance of the Central Hotel.

"Boom, boom..."

In the distance, the squadron's reinforced Japanese 97-type 90 mm mortars began to bombard the central hotel, the 90.5 caliber grenade was huge, and the explosion was full of momentum, but the concrete structure of the central hotel was almost completely immune to the mortar grenade with the casting body, and the curved falling grenade hit the solid flat roof, leaving only a shallow crater.

Phew···

On the third floor of the hotel, in a room, a soldier with half a piece of dry food in his hand spat out a few pieces of concrete.

"I can't live when I eat"

The soldier with a grenade in his body cursed and swore a few words, then burrowed under a collapsed plank, dodging the falling dust and debris, and continued to nibble on his cold dry food.

The shelling after shelling had only a slight effect.

"The devil is one hundred and fifty meters away" In front of him, the company commander holding the telescope spat out a cold number.

The Kujo team walked slowly to a distance of 150 meters from the hotel before stopping, and it was 350 meters from the position to here, during which they did not encounter any attack.

"Machine gun group"

Hiding behind a pile of rubble, the second captain from the right of Kujo looked at the window that had been closed in the distance, and commanded the two light machine guns in the team to build a position, the muzzle of the crooked handle pointed straight at the hotel, the machine gunner's finger was firmly attached to the trigger, and his eyes were locked on the window, ready to shoot the outcropping enemy at any time.

"Forward..."

After setting up machine gun fire, Kujo ordered the team to continue the attack.

Behind him, a detachment of twelve devils began to move towards the hotel in a straggler state, while the other two detachments were holding guns and aiming at the hotel.

Taoyuan Town, which has undergone many changes of hands between China and Japan, has long since been dilapidated, most of the red-brick houses have collapsed in the war, the foundation walls are less than a meter left, and the streets are littered with broken rubble.

The remnants of the walls, the rubble piled up everywhere are excellent shelters, and the devils leap between the rubble piles and the remnants of the walls one by one, and gradually touch the hotel.

In the "60 meters" hotel, the company commander reported the distance of the devils, from a condescending perspective, and all the attacking devils were exposed to the company commander's perspective.

Dadada····

As soon as the company commander reported the figures, the devil's two machine guns opened fire, and the bullets shot directly at the window in front of the hotel, and the edge of the window was brushed. There were also many bullets that went down the windows into the houses, but the soldiers hiding in the corners did not care, and the bullets did not pose any threat to them. The purpose of the devil's shooting was to suppress them and prevent them from leaning out of the window to shoot.

"Fifty meters, the main street"

The company commander waved his hand at this time.

The five soldiers immediately pulled out the fuse of the grenade, took advantage of the interval between the gun's machine gun fire, opened the wooden board that closed the window, and slammed the grenade towards the direction of the main street.

Boom Boom...

At a distance of fifty meters, which was just the range of a wooden-handled grenade, a violent explosion rang out in the ruined streets, sending rubble flying in all directions.
