Chapter 1570: The House Leak Happened to Rain Overnight (Second Update!) )
"Sir, our back road is blocked!" The second lieutenant who led the team was lucky not to be killed, and ran all the way to the captain and reported with a sad face.
"Do you see who they are?" The captain immediately asked.
This is the issue he is most concerned about, if it is determined that the other party is friend or foe, then the next battle will be difficult to fight.
The squad leader hesitated for a moment and reported: "I only saw them wearing the uniforms of the Imperial Allied Army?" ”
"Imperial Army?" The captain asked rhetorically with an incredulous expression.
I didn't expect such a result to be killed, frowning and falling into deep thought, analyzing in my heart what the purpose of these imperial alliance troops was: whether they really resisted the imperial army, or did they fight the imperial army because they didn't want to go to the battlefield......
"Sir, the troops that plugged the gap are almost gone!" A squadron leader abruptly interrupted.
The explosion at the gap a few hundred meters away continued, but there were not many imperial troops left there, and the sandbags that filled the gap were obviously unable to keep up with the speed of consumption, and before you knew it, the gap had expanded to four or five meters wide, and the lowest point was less than three meters from the ground.
The blasted loess and masonry have formed a gentle slope on both sides of the gap.
As long as you're fast enough to rush through the breach without catching any tools?
The captain's first instinct was to continue to transfer troops to plug the gap, but as soon as the words reached his mouth, he swallowed it back.
The garrison in the north of the city lost more than 200 men last night, and just plugged the gap and lost another 300 people, and the reinforcements lost another infantry squad, and more than half of the more than 1,000 men under his command were already lost.
If you transfer troops to plug the gap, you will have no troops in your hands.
Moreover, this can only ensure that the gap will not expand within 10 minutes at most, and when the troops are bombed again, the gap will continue to expand.
The hundreds of imperial troops only bought themselves more than ten minutes, and they did not destroy a single Eighth Route Army.
Since this is a loss-making transaction, it must not be done.
Rather than being killed by a shell when blocking the gap, it is better to wait for the Eighth Route Army to fight with them after entering the city from the gap, even if one life is exchanged for another, the delay time is longer than that of plugging the gap, and it can kill a lot of the Eighth Route Army before dying, and die as it deserves.
"Regardless of the gap!" The captain decided to change his style of play.
"The Fourth Squadron will immediately go to build a new defensive line behind the gap, and I will turn the gap that the Eighth Route Army has worked so hard to blow up into their own grave."
"The others stay here, wait for the end of the shelling to all go up to the city wall, condescendingly attack the attacking troops of the Eighth Route Army, kill as many as they can, and drag them at all costs."
"What about the Imperial Concord Army behind us?" The captain of the first squadron asked.
The captain was eager to capture them all and cut off their heads with his own hands.
But there were too few soldiers in his hand, and the offensive of the Eighth Route Army outside the city was fierce, and the bad situation did not allow him to do this at all, so he could only give orders with a helpless face.
"Regardless of them, as long as they don't take the initiative to attack the city wall, we will concentrate our forces and firepower to deal with the Eighth Route Army attacking outside the city, and they are the enemy who poses the greatest threat to us."
"If I'm not mistaken, the Imperial Allied Army hiding behind us definitely didn't want to participate in the war before they opened fire on us, and they definitely didn't have the courage to take the initiative to attack us."
"Boom ......"
In the violent explosion, another section of the city wall was blown down, and the heavy bricks and loess poured down like a waterfall, smashing on the inner and outer sides of the city wall and piling up a gentle slope.
More than a hundred devils quickly rushed to the back of the gap, using the houses and courtyards behind the city wall to establish a defensive line, staring at the gap that was getting bigger and bigger, and waited for the battle.
Fifty meters behind him, several "puppet soldiers" were confirming the location of the Japanese army's firepower points one by one, and then disappeared into the night like a ghost of harvest.
After five minutes, the heavy artillery finally stopped shelling.
The captain and the rest of the soldiers rushed to the city without hesitation, hiding behind the battlements that had not yet been blown up, and keeping an eye on the outside of the city.
"The Eighth Route Army has begun to attack!" The squadron leader of the first squadron clenched his command knife and shouted.
Three hundred meters away, hundreds of figures of the Eighth Route Army slowly appeared on the battlefield, holding guns and machine guns, slowly approaching the city wall in a straggler line.
Several armored vehicles and armed cars could be faintly seen among the infantry, heading straight for the gap in the city wall.
Not surprisingly, they are the real killer of this attack.
"Shoot with all your might, and be sure to repel the enemy!" The captain shouted.
Then he replaced the command knife with a rifle and shot out of the city with his subordinates.
Gunfire soon erupted on the city walls, and dense heavy machine gun fire was heard outside the city, which was the Eighth Route Army covering the infantry assault with heavy machine guns.
Behind the gap, more than a hundred devils stood still, and they were ready to wait for the Eighth Route Army to emerge from behind the gap before shooting.
But the sleeper forces didn't give them that chance.
Suddenly, two grenades emitting white smoke fell from the sky and smashed next to a Japanese heavy machine-gun position.
The sound was small, but it still caught the attention of a machine gunner.
His reaction was quick, and he subconsciously threw himself on the ground, holding his head......
As soon as he finished these few movements, two explosions of "boom ......" sounded in his ears, and a tingling pain quickly spread throughout his body from his thigh.
The Heavy knew that he was injured and immediately called his comrades around him to come and help.
Unfortunately, no one responded to him except screaming......
After several machine-gun positions in a row were inexplicably blown up, the devil who blocked the gap finally realized the danger: "Sir, we have an enemy behind us!" ”
"All positions are divided into half men to defend the rear." Squadron Commander Temporary Order.
The battlefield was too chaotic, and before a few people could reach the military order, the herald was killed.
Moreover, the sleeper troops had already figured out the deployment of their troops, and even if the Japanese army divided half of their forces to defend the rear, it would be difficult to prevent the sleeper troops from approaching the courtyard where they were hiding......
When the roof leak happened to rain overnight, and the Japanese army tried every means to deal with the enemy emerging behind them, a gap of more than ten meters wide also ushered in the offensive troops of the Eighth Route Army.
"The Eighth Route Army has reached a gap, shoot at me and wipe them out there." The squadron leader shouted at the top of his voice.
The subordinates around him were the first to react, a light machine gun, seven or eight rifles, and fired at the same time.
Other positions, on the contrary, as if no orders had been received, and apart from sporadic rifle fire, almost no light machine guns took part in the battle.
"Yaga, why don't our machine guns shoot yet!" The squadron leader was in a hurry.
The Eighth Route Army, which rushed to the gap, did not rush in and send them to death.
After establishing a machine-gun position and suppressing the only light machine gun around him, the riflemen rushed through the gap one after another. In just a few seconds, a platoon of the Eighth Route Army had already crossed the gap, and if the other machine guns did not fire again, they were blocked.
In ten seconds at most, these people can rush in front of everyone and kill themselves with grenades......
It's a pity that no matter how much he shouted, there was no one around to respond to his orders, and no light machine guns joined the battle.
Not only that, but the explosions around him intensified, and they got closer and closer......
