Chapter 581: The Devil's Dismount (Second Update!) )
"Woo woo woo ......"
The scream of cannonballs across the sky suddenly rang out, breaking the silence of the battlefield!
Four mountain guns and two infantry guns outside the south gate opened fire first, starting this siege battle!
"Boom, boom, boom......"
After a short flight, the shell smashed into the gap in the wall that the plane had already blasted!
The bricks of the city wall have been blasted open by aerial bombs, revealing the gray-brown rammed earth inside!
No matter how strong the rammed earth is, it can't compare to the fired red bricks, the cannonball smashed down, and the moment of the explosion, the thick rammed earth was blown open a few gaps, and the rammed earth was blown up on the spot, just like the goddess scattered flowers, flying everywhere!
A fireball mixed with a large amount of black smoke rose into the air, and the gap in the city wall, which was originally only two or three meters wide, was widened by one meter, and the gap became deeper!
Lingqiu City is not big, and the city wall was originally only three or four meters high!
After such an explosion, the gap is less than two meters high from the ground!
The soil blown out by the cannonballs is piled up on both sides of the gap to form a gentle slope, which means that the devils don't need a ladder at all when attacking, and they can climb the gap with a direct sprint, and then kill into Lingqiu City!
The first round of shells from the mountain artillery had just exploded, and the mortars had also fired!
Relying on his fast rate of fire, cannonballs fell from the sky, like rain, constantly smashing on the city!
Soon the head of the city was enveloped in heavy artillery fire, and the gap in the city wall was also expanding and deepening in the explosion!
The devil is determined to take Lingqiu City before dark, and the offensive is unprecedentedly fierce!
All four walls were shelled at the same time, and each side was smashed by shells for ten minutes before stopping, and then a squadron of little devils began to assault!
Hearing the warning from the guard post from the city, the four company commanders hiding in the corner of the city wall shouted one after another!
"Everyone went up to the city wall, and the devils began to attack!"
He Junchong, the commander of the first battalion and one company, rushed to the front, and as soon as he climbed to the top of the city, he was shocked by the scene in front of him!
Before the bombardment, the three gaps in the city wall were only two or three meters wide, and now each gap has become a large gap at least five meters wide, and the rammed earth that has been blown up forms a gentle slope on both sides of the city wall, and the original appearance of the city wall is not visible at all!
The rest of the city wall was not much better, almost a third of the city stamped was blown up, and the originally flat city head was densely packed with craters!
The wall tiles covering the surface were directly blown away without a trace, revealing the rammed earth inside!
Of course, that's all there is to it!
Relying on the remaining stomping on the city wall, and relying on the craters on the head of the city, the troops can also find a hiding place!
The key is that as soon as the troops rushed up, the Japanese army outside the city gave themselves a dismount!
Twelve heavy machine guns were aimed at the city and strafed together, and some bullets flew close to the city and flew over the city, not giving the defending troops a chance to show their heads!
Some bullets flew directly from the gap in the city that was blown up to the head of the city, and the bullets flew close to the ground of the city, cutting the hundreds of meters long city wall into several sections with heavy machine gun bullets, which were not connected to each other!
A few soldiers followed, and as soon as they rushed to the city, they were shot because of carelessness!
Heavy machine gun bullets are not ordinary rifle bullets, with large caliber and great power, as long as they are hit, eighty percent will die on the spot!
If you are lucky and don't die, you will also lose your arms and legs, and you will completely lose your combat effectiveness!
Seeing a few soldiers fall in front of him with a muffled snort, He Jun knew at a glance that they were helpless, and immediately ordered: "Lower your heads for me, the devil's offensive firepower is too fierce, and if you show your head, you will die!" ”
More than a dozen soldiers rushed to the city unharmed and hid behind the city stomping, and He Jun's tense heart was put down!
At this time, the instructor shouted: "Company commander, the devil's offensive firepower is too fierce!" The bullets flew up to the top of the city from the gap in the blown up city, directly dividing the city wall into several sections, except for the section of the city wall under our feet, we couldn't rush through it at all! ”
He Jun frowned, thought for a few seconds and made a decision: "If we can't rush over, we won't rush, we will only defend this section of the city wall, use guns and grenades to force the little devils who attack us to the gap in the city wall, retreat after a little resistance, and abandon the city wall!" ”
"The devil's offensive firepower is too fierce, and now they only use heavy machine guns to crush us to death, and when they fire at us with grenadiers, light machine guns, and mortars, not only will they have no chance to fight back, but they will also suffer heavy casualties!"
"Yes, company commander!"
The instructor shouted at the top of his voice!
A series of negligible counterattacks was like an itch to the Japanese attacking troops, and it was impossible to pose a threat to them!
The three infantry squads, all the way like a bamboo, swept towards the city.
"Throw grenades outside the city and force them into the wall gaps!"
Seeing the devil rushing closer and closer, He Jun decisively ordered, and then threw out the grenade in his hand!
In fact, he doesn't have to do anything, the devil himself will take the initiative to rush to the gap!
They didn't have ladders with them, and it was impossible to climb the city with both hands, except for blasting!
However, the blasting is too troublesome, and the troops need to make holes in the corners of the city wall with grenades constantly falling from their heads, and then place explosives before they can ignite and blow up the city wall!
Not only will it take time, but it will also have to bear huge casualties, so it is better to use the gaps in the walls that are already in place!
But it's not useless to throw out a series of grenades!
It further strengthened the devil's determination to attack from the gap, and also made their offensive formation more dense!
"Shoot with grenadiers and kill the Eighth Route Army on both sides of the gap!"
The leader of the devil squad has a lot of combat experience, and in the face of the gap, he did not let his subordinates rush up, but raised his command knife and ordered very calmly!
After a dozen grenades in a row almost blew up the gap, he continued to order!
"Machine gun cover, infantry assault!"
A dozen devil riflemen quickly climbed up the gap and were not attacked in any way!
Seeing his subordinates quickly occupy the commanding heights on both sides of the gap, the squad leader didn't expect the attack to be so smooth!
He also thought that this might be a conspiracy, but after seeing that the commanding heights on both sides of the gap were all occupied by his own people, the last bit of worry in his heart disappeared in an instant!
The moment a smile flashed from his face, he shouted excitedly: "It must be the Eighth Route Army at the head of the city that has retreated, everyone will kill it, completely occupy the gap, open a breakthrough for the main force, and prevent the Eighth Route Army from counterattacking!" ”
More than thirty devils scrambled to climb up the gap, and then rushed into Lingqiu City, wanting to occupy the houses near the gap!
Fifty meters away, in a piece of ruins, a camouflaged heavy machine gun was mounted on it, and the muzzle of the gun was pointed straight at the gap!
There are two crooked handles on each side of the heavy machine gun, and the two crooked handles are aimed at the gap together with the heavy machine gun, and the two are aimed at the little devils on the commanding heights on both sides of the gap!
More than 30 warriors hid in the surrounding ruins, rifles in their hands, aimed at the gap, and wrapped the gap tightly in a semi-encirclement!
The closest warrior to the gap is not even thirty meters, and can easily smash the grenade into the gap that is already full of little devils!
And that's exactly what he did!
Hold the grenade tightly in your hand and throw it out as soon as the heavy machine gun goes off behind you!
But his target is not the little devil at the gap, but the devil who has not yet climbed into the gap and is still outside the gap!
There were three fighters on the same mission as him, all of whom had the best arm strength in the whole platoon, and each of them carried five grenades and lurked quietly in the ruins!
