The sound of guns and cannons outside the city made the Japanese defenders exhausted. There were loud gunshots in the city, but the little devils were terrified. The Japanese infantry brigade that was ordered to rush here may never have dreamed that they would encounter this after arriving in Shucheng.

Even if there was still more than a wing of troops under his command, the ammunition that could be counted could not keep the remaining Japanese troops holding out for long. The previous nightmarish explosion had already weakened the combat effectiveness of the infantry brigade by several layers in an instant.

At the same time as an infantry brigade was sent to block the task force from the rear, the commander of the infantry brigade began to order his troops to build fortifications in the area of the city that had been blown up to ruins, hoping to hold out until dawn.

According to the agreement with the division when they came, the infantry brigade after arriving in Shucheng was required to send a report to the division every two hours to show that the brigade was safe and sound. Two hours have passed since the previous explosion.

If the telegraph officer on duty at the division fails to receive a telegram from the infantry brigade, he will inevitably take the initiative to send a telegram to inquire. Once the division discovers that the infantry brigade radio is missing, it is believed that the division and regiment will also make a decision as soon as possible.

If nothing else, the commander of the infantry brigade felt that the division would transfer troops overnight and quickly reinforce Shucheng. This also means that as long as the infantry brigade can hold out until dawn, perhaps the next morning, they will be able to wait for reinforcements from the division.

Hu Biao, who was leading the team to assault, looked at the constantly appearing Japanese troops, and said very directly: "Fight!" Let's fight hard first! Then look at my gestures, ready to retreat at any time. Remember, don't rush too fast and stay safe! ”

"Yes, detachment leader!"

It was clear that Hu Biao was very concerned about the casualties of his subordinates, and the officers and soldiers of the task force who cooperated with the operation also felt warm in their hearts. Looking at the increasing number of Japanese blocking troops, Hu Biao also ordered an attack and kept shooting the little devils who came to block it.

Faced with the situation that the little devil only defended and did not attack, Hu Biao felt a little surprised, thought for a while, and said: "Pillar, send someone to the second company to have a look." I always feel that these little devils seem to be too honest, and they only defend and don't attack! ”

"Detachment leader, isn't that good?"

"What a fart! Forget what I told you before, don't despise little devils. Don't think that they only know how to attack, if they really fight a defensive war, their level is not bad. If they don't attack it, isn't our previous plan in vain? ”

Hearing Hu Biao say this, the combat team members lying next to Hu Biao think about it. Originally, their intention was to introduce the little devils in the city into the explosion zone, but now the little devils are not chasing.

As the attacking side, the task force will undoubtedly face greater pressure than the little devils on the defensive side. In order to confirm his guess, Hu Biao felt that he should let people see if the situation on the side of the special second company was the same as his own.

If the situation between the two companies is the same, then Hu Biao must change his combat strategy and draw more troops from outside the city to attack. In any case, hit the remaining little devils in the city before dawn.

The combat team members who were ordered to return to the offensive area of the Special Second Company saw Qin Tianyou, who was organizing the attack, and said in surprise: "Squadron Qin, is this the case on your side?" Do little devils only defend and not attack? ”

"Yes! How did you get here? The detachment leader asked you to come over? ”

"Yes! The detachment leader asked me to come over and see what the situation is on your side. Our side is similar to yours, the little devils are stubbornly resisting, but they don't take the initiative to fight back at all. Fighting like this, it's somewhat passive! ”

"Definitely! These little devils seem to have been frightened by us, and I only used one combat platoon, and they didn't dare to fight back. ”

After a brief chat, the combat team members who came to check the situation quickly returned to the combat area where Hu Biao was. Knowing this situation, Hu Biao also said directly: "Pillar, transfer one more combat platoon from behind, I'm useful!" ”

Previously, in order to cover the retreat alternately and introduce the little devil into the explosion zone, Hu Biao did not bring too many combat team members with him. didn't think about it, the little devil seemed to really accept his fate as a shrinking turtle, so that Hu Biao's previous deployment was all in vain.

Since the little devil didn't take the initiative to attack, Hu Biao could only attack forcibly. Judging from the current situation on the battlefield, Hu Biao found that the little devils in the city did not fire outside the city from beginning to end. This situation is obviously a bit abnormal.

Thinking of the results reported by the demolition team before, Hu Biao felt that the little devil was not without artillery, and it should be that there were no shells. If the situation is really as Hu Biao thinks, then in the next strong attack, Hu Biao feels that it is necessary to increase heavy firepower.

A combat platoon was transferred from the back to join the offensive sequence, and while Hu Biao took out a lot of mortars and grenadiers from his storage space. Whether the little devil artillery has the ability to counterattack or not, you will know with a few more cannons.

Looking at the combat platoon that arrived quickly, Hu Biao quickly said: "Send these grenadiers and mortars to the second squadron." Tell the Qin squadron to increase the intensity of the attack. If the lure tactics are unsuccessful, let's have a hard time with the little devils!

Mortars are responsible for providing long-range fire, focusing on the machine-gun positions of the imps. Grenadiers to clear the passage for the attacking troops. Assault and rifleman, alternately cover to clear the remnants of the enemy, and snipers to carry out fire cover! ”

Speaking of his offensive tactics, Hu Biao asked people to pick out some of these weapons and equipment and send them to the Special Second Company. Looking at the weapons and ammunition sent by the combat team members, as well as the battle plan told by Hu Biao, Qin Tianyou didn't say much.

The little devil who was originally responsible for blocking saw that there was only such a little enemy attacking and harassing, and there were indeed officers who were ready to fight back. The captain who can lead the team said with a stern expression: "Don't attack without authorization, this is the general's order!" ”

"Your Excellency, the number of enemies doesn't seem to be many, why don't you fight back and wipe them all out?"

"Yaga! Obey orders! Have you forgotten about the previous firefight? This group of enemies is not simple! ”

Although the commander of the infantry group also thought about sending a squadron to carry out a counterattack. But what the captain didn't expect was that as the defending side, their casualties were greater than those of the attacking side. They have never encountered such a situation.

The infantry brigade, which lacked heavy weapons, was also equipped with light and heavy machine guns and rifles. However, in the previous confrontation, the light and heavy machine gunners of the Japanese army were constantly replaced. If you can't get a few shots, you have to replace them with a new machine gunner.

In addition, even the usual accurate marksmanship of riflemen seems to be ineffective in the face of attacking troops, most of whom are hiding a hundred meters away. A rifleman who can attack can shoot a rifleman on the defending side with precision.

All kinds of circumstances have shown that this small group of attacking troops not only has rich combat experience, but also has very strong combat strength. Aware of this, coupled with the previous explanation of the commander of the infantry brigade, the captain of the infantry brigade naturally did not dare to attack without authorization.

Just when the commander of the infantry brigade began to organize troops to build a defensive network along the defensive area. The little devil who was at the forefront of the defensive position suddenly saw the fire coming from behind the attacking side, and instantly said in astonishment: "Baga! Shelling! Take cover! ”

As the sound fell, so did the shells. At the same time as the shell exploded, the little devil in charge of blocking it soon saw several people wearing the same military uniforms as them, quickly setting up grenadiers in the open area.

With a wave of grenades falling, the soldiers deployed by the little devils in the front-line positions soon suffered heavy casualties. When the second wave of grenades fell, more than a dozen attackers, in a triangular formation, quickly sprinted towards the Japanese defensive position.

The attackers who rushed to the front looked at the defensive positions that had not been shelled before, and threw out time-delay grenades directly. When the grenade exploded, causing heavy damage to the Japanese again, the attackers with submachine guns had already opened fire.

The crisp gunshots rang out, and the little devils in the first line of blocking positions didn't have time to make too many counterattacks before they were knocked to the ground one after another. Waiting for the riflemen to follow up and replenish the guns, the position was also broken in an instant.

When the little devils behind a position were about to regain the lost position, the attacking combat team members had already taken over a position and began to block the little devils who were trying to regain the position, and the second round of mortars smashed over.

The grenadier team that followed behind the commando team quickly followed up, established a firing position behind the commando team again, and began to launch artillery attacks on the second position of the little devil. A wave of grenades fell, and the little devil could only dodge in a hurry.

The little devil squadron leader who was in charge of commanding the blockade was also shocked when he saw the task force that was alternately covering the attack: "Baga! What kind of force is this? The offensive tactics are skillfully coordinated, and the coordinated use of infantry and artillery is so exquisite! ”

First, the mortar smashed a wave of long-range ones, then the grenadiers smashed a wave of close-range ones, and finally the commando team launched an assault to face the little devil's defense force. This tacit understanding of street fighting and cooperation made the little devil officers breathtaking.

In the face of the sudden intensification of the attack of the task force, the infantry captain in charge of blocking the attack, looking at the positions lost one after another, couldn't help but scold: "Baga! Incompetent guys! Hold on, we must not let them break through our defense zone! ”

"Your Excellency Captain, you can't stop it! The firepower of the Chinese army was so fierce that we simply could not organize an effective defense. We need reinforcements! Only by adding more troops can we stop them! ”

The Japanese troops, who could not get artillery support, could only choose to hold their heads and flee in the face of the artillery fire of the task force. Even if they want to fight back, give them a chance! The problem is that the task force responsible for the offensive does not give at all.

With each stoppage of shelling, the assault team in charge of the attack was already close. In the face of the dense firepower formed by the submachine guns, most of the little devils who dared to take the lead were instantly beaten into a hornet's nest. The taste of being completely suppressed makes the little devil even more afraid!

Listening to the helpless advice of his subordinates, the infantry captain could only say: "Immediately inform the general that the enemy is attacking fiercely and our troops need reinforcements." Eight Gyalu! Where the hell did these goddamn guys come from? ”

All along, the little devils felt that they were the strongest army in the world. And this time, they were beaten by a mysterious group of troops and were powerless. This kind of grievance and helplessness deepened the fear in their hearts again!
