Chapter 1443: Tearing Down the East Wall and Replenishing the West Wall (First Update!) )
The battlefield is changing rapidly, and there is not so much time for the captain to analyze the battle situation.
"Boom, boom, boom......"
In the blink of an eye, more than fifty grenadiers had joined the battle, and grenades rained down on the city, and at least twenty grenades smashed right on Cheng's head.
This figure was nearly double the captain's estimate.
There is no view of the city, and there is nothing to obstruct it.
Although the lethality of the grenade is not large, the destructive power here is not weak at all.
In the explosion, the flying fragments were like a raging storm, quickly sweeping across the entire section of the city, and nearly 30 soldiers were blown over, killed or injured and fell to the ground.
"Can't let those grenadiers keep shooting!" The captain let out a roar of despair in his heart.
Decisive order: "Immediately divide some light and heavy machine guns to hit those grenadiers, and kill them, otherwise our men will definitely not be enough for them to blow up." ”
There were not many light and heavy machine guns on the city, and after a part of them were divided to deal with the feint troops, it was difficult for the remaining light and heavy machine guns to completely block the gap.
The Eighth Route Army, which attacked the gap, suffered heavy casualties from them, but the pace of the attack was not stopped and continued to assault forward.
If some light and heavy machine guns were to be sent to the grenadier troops, it would be more difficult to hold back the attacking troops with the remaining firepower.
This is a typical demolition of the east wall and the repair of the west wall.
But military orders cannot be violated, and the orders of the brigade commander must be carried out.
And they also knew that the grenadier was a greater threat to the city than the attacking troops.
Although this will cause the offensive troops of the Eighth Route Army to rush to the gap, or even rush into Datong City.
But there is still a line of defense behind the gap, and they will definitely be able to take out the Eighth Route Army that has entered through the gap.
It didn't take long to hold out, as long as the light and heavy machine guns were separated to kill the grenadiers, they could refocus their firepower on the attacking troops and cooperate with the Imperial Army on the second line of defense to completely defeat them.
"Comrades, kill ...... with me" A company commander of the Hunyuan Independent Battalion was keenly aware that the firepower blocking everyone had weakened, and shouted loudly while speeding up the charge.
The assault team attacking the gap took him as the head, and in just a few seconds, they rushed forward dozens of meters.
"Continue to kill me and occupy ......the gap," the company commander ordered as he rushed.
The battalion commander He Jun did not attack with the team, but the tension in his heart was no less than that of the attacking troops.
Standing in an offensive position, his eyes were staring at the attacking troops without blinking.
Heavy machine guns and mortars were mounted nearby, all pouring ammunition at their fastest rate of fire on the city, covering the gap for the attacking troops.
"The artillery fire should be strengthened, and the walls on both sides of the gap will be blown up for me. The commando team is about to reach the gap, and the devil must not be allowed to send troops to reinforce the gap. He Jun ordered with a serious face.
At this time, the picture of the heavy casualties of the grenadier troops happened to be seen by him, and he immediately followed the order: "The grenadier soldiers reinforced to us by the Huaiyuan Independent Regiment and the Laishui Independent Regiment all rush forward, disperse the enemy's counterattack fire, and cover the assault team to occupy the gap!" ”
The captain at the head of the city was desperate, thinking that by eliminating more than a hundred grenadiers outside the city, his subordinates could concentrate their firepower on the assault team and kill them.
Unexpectedly, these grenadiers had not been eliminated, and a large number of grenadiers rushed out of the offensive position of the Eighth Route Army, and they continued to rush to the scene as if they could not be killed.
The threat of grenadiers to the head of the city was too great, although the assault team had already rushed to a position seventy or eighty meters outside the gap and could enter Datong City at any time, the team leader had to ignore them for the time being and continue to concentrate his fire on the grenadiers.
"The gap is ahead, kill me!" The company commander, who was at the front of the commando, continued to shout.
When there were still forty or fifty meters left in the gap, he decisively took out a grenade and threw it with the help of the huge inertia brought by the charge.
The soldiers around him threw grenades in the same way, and the gap in the city wall was immediately patronized by nearly a hundred grenades.
In the violent explosion, the masonry and earth were blasted into the sky and flew everywhere, causing the entire gap to be shrouded in thick smoke and dust, and it was gray and could not be seen.
At this time, even if the gap in the city wall had just been hidden, the little devil was blown up.
The commandos did not miss this excellent opportunity to attack, and used their fastest speed to kill the gap.
"Go up, the assault team rushes up!" A staff officer beside Li Hao shouted, so excited that he almost jumped up from the ground.
"Don't worry!" Li Hao is much calmer.
Staring at the battlefield analysis: "Rushing to the gap in the city wall is only the first step, the next step is to control the gap, occupy it, and then fight into Datong City." ”
"There must be no surprises at every step, and then you can win consistently."
"The devils won't watch us occupy the breach."
"When the shelling just now, they didn't want to rush to the gap, trying to plug the gap with sandbags."
"Now that the real attack is in, they're going to fight back and fight us for the gap repeatedly."
"Order the artillery to continue firing, especially the mortars that blow up the wall near the gap, and absolutely not stop, to prevent the little devils from counterattacking the gap, and to buy time for the commandos to occupy the gap."
"The covering force hurried up to a heavy machine-gun company and a couple of mortars to support the assault team at close range."
Command line exit, and there is a problem with the gap in the wall.
The first dozen or so fighters were all shot, and then fell from the top of the gap.
The commandos in the back were obviously affected, and the offensive was not as fierce as just now.
Chief of Staff Zhou on the side was the first to react, and judged with a calm face: "The devils must have built a new defense line behind the gap in the city wall, and the assault team was intercepted by them, and they will definitely not be able to kill it if they rush hard, and they will be sent to death in vain." ”
Li Hao's serious face also flashed with a sense of solemnity, but it was quickly relieved by the scene on the battlefield.
After the first attack was frustrated, the retreating assault team did not collapse and did not give up the gap.
Instead, reorganize the formation outside the gap and launch a new assault.
Many soldiers replaced their rifles with sapper shovels and grenades, and built fortifications on the side of the gap near the outside of the city to blow up bunkers.
The attacking force was divided into threes, first capturing part of the gap along the trenches and bunkers opened by grenades and sapper shovels, and then firing at the devils in the city with guns.
The attacking forces on both sides of the gap are centered on the two sides, and quickly climb the walls on both sides of the gap, and advance towards the attack on both sides to expand the occupied area.
After some troops climbed the city wall, they relied on the height advantage of the city wall to suppress the little devils in the city, and covered the troops to completely occupy the gap.
Li Hao saw the purpose of the attacking troops at a glance, his expression returned to seriousness, and he looked at Chief of Staff Zhou and replied confidently: "Don't worry, chief, this trick can't stop our attacking troops." ”
"As long as they rush to the gap, they won't be able to get knocked back so easily."
After speaking, he ordered the staff officer who was on standby: "Tell He Jun to transfer five more heavy machine guns to the gap." ”
"The troops of the Huaiyuan Independent Regiment and the Laishui Independent Regiment also began to attack, distracting the firepower of the Japanese puppet army at the head of the city, covering the assault team to completely take the gap and enter Datong City."
"Order the siege troops in the other three directions: immediately strengthen the offensive, and if the Japanese are going to retreat, the attacking troops will immediately bite and beat the water dogs."
