Chapter 154: The Gates of Hell Open

Looking at the little devils and artillerymen who were frantically retreating, the machine gun shooters who were originally worried about the shelling of the little devils suddenly felt that the pressure was reduced a lot. When the cannonballs they brought were gone, the soldiers still looked a little unsatisfied.

As for the other soldiers who stayed on the city tower, they didn't expect the second attack of the Japanese army to end in such a hurry. Just looking at the battle scene under the castle tower, which was obviously much bloodier, the soldiers also knew that it was a wise choice for the Japanese army to retreat.

If you really want to continue the attack, I believe that the casualties paid by the little devils will be greater than now. In the face of the frantic strafing of four machine guns, even the little devil's tank and armored vehicle can't bear it, let alone the flesh and blood of the little devil?

Hu Biao, who was also watching the little devil's artillery retreat, knew that the shelling would start soon, and immediately said: "Before the little devil starts the shelling, immediately lift these machine guns down." Wait for the little devils to enter the city, and give them a little more power! ”

"Yes, sir!"

Hearing Hu Biao's combat instructions, the soldiers who were ordered to come over to operate the machine guns also felt full of joy. Even if they haven't been in the city for a long time, their achievements are not cheap, and there are seven or eight tanks and armored vehicles lying in the nest under the city tower!

There are not many other little devil tanks and armored vehicles that quickly retreated. As for the corpses of the little devils who followed up, they were even more innumerable. Within a kilometer of the city tower, the corpses of the little devils who were killed could be seen everywhere.

Now that the machine guns brought are running out, these four machine guns can naturally retire with success. In view of this situation, Hu Biao asked the gunner to leave with the machine gun. There are still some machine shells stored in the rear, which should be usable later.

Not long after the machine gunners withdrew from the city walls, a new round of shelling by the little devils began again. Countless mountain shells and mortar shells whizzed, dumping more shells on the buildings in the city, causing many buildings in the city to be damaged.

As for the city walls, the reinforced door panel fortifications still provide good shelter. Even if there were fortifications destroyed by shells, it was just bad luck. But the castle tower stood there, and it was still not much damaged.

Inoue Keitaro, who had already been given a death order, brandished his command knife again and shouted, "Kill a few and give it to me!" ”

A large number of infantry of the company, following several surviving chariots, launched an attack on the tower. The grenadiers of the wing also began to carry grenadiers and rushed to a distance of 300 meters to re-set up grenadiers to provide fire cover.

The city wall, where machine guns had been erected, was taken care of by the Japanese grenadier squad. It's a pity that the little devil in charge of throwing bombs didn't see the scene of artillery destruction and death, and the city wall still seemed very quiet.

It wasn't until the Japanese infantry entered the 200-meter range that the machine guns fired again began to strafe the little devil infantry who were following the chariot. As for the tanks and armored vehicles of the little devils, machine-gun bullets still could not threaten them.

Seeing that the machine gun that he was most worried about seemed to be destroyed, several little devils with explosive bags quickly hid behind the tank and headed towards the closed gate of the city tower. Seeing this scene, Hu Biao immediately said: "Prepare a cluster grenade!" ”

The so-called cluster grenade is to bundle several grenades together and then throw them under the castle tower to form a greater explosion. In this process, the shooters on the left and right sides observe the best time to drop the bomb.

When the little devil's tank finally drove to a place not far from the city gate, Hu Biao immediately said: "Grenade, throw!" ”

The fuse tied together was ripped off, and the bombardier threw the cluster grenade down the dool. The little devil who was about to set up the explosives bag looked at the cluster grenades falling from the top of his head, and said in horror: "Ah! Hand grenade! ”

With a loud noise coming from the city gate hole, the little devils who rushed to the city gate hole were all blown up to death at the city gate hole. There was even a bunch of grenades, which were thrown right in front of a tank, and the tracks of the tank were blown off after the explosion.

Staying next to see this scene, Hu Biao decisively rushed out, picked up a bundled grenade, took advantage of the gap between the artillery fire, stood at the unprotected mouth, and threw it on the roof of the tank after a delay of two seconds.

There was a loud bang, and the tank that was blown off its tracks instantly became full of smoke. Not long after, a little devil tank soldier with a bloody face opened the tank cover and prepared to come out, but he was naturally killed on the spot.

"Damn, I still want to run!"

In the process, the Imp Demoman has installed several explosive packs at the city gates. With a few loud bangs, the city gate was blown down in an instant. Just as the Japanese were preparing to charge, they were dumbfounded by the situation behind the city gates.

The reason is that the city gate has been filled with numerous sandbags and rocks. Even if the little devil blows the city gate open, he still can't rush through the hole in the city gate. If you want to capture the city wall of Zhongshan Gate, you must blow up all the walls.

Hearing the news, Inoue Keitaro was also a little dumbfounded and said, "What about Na? The hole in the city gate is blocked! Damn, do these Chinese troops want to defend to the death? Organize the Demoman, continue to up, and blow this gate out completely! ”

At this point, the Japanese had no choice but to blow up the city gate and then let the troops attack it. At this moment, Hu Biao and the soldiers defending the city on the city wall were still frantically pouring bullets into the Japanese army.

Many machine gunners looked at the red barrel and directly replaced it with the spare machine gun next to it. As long as the planks overhead are not blown off, then the machine-gun fire cannot be stopped. Riflemen and snipers are constantly hunting and killing little devils.

With the help of the condescending characteristics of the city wall, Hu Biao led the blockers to frantically hunt the attacking little devils. Under the entire city gate, the number of casualties of the little devils is also increasing. The tank machine guns that cooperate with the battle are aimed at the city wall and are responsible for strafing.

Listening to the constant explosions in the city gate cave, as well as the increasing corpses of little devils, Hu Biao quickly said: "One row, withdraw it." The second bolt, say a word to the three knives, so that he can arrange it with his own hands! ”

"Yes, Captain!"

The platoon of soldiers who were temporarily formed in charge of the front defense of the city tower, listening to the continuous explosions under them, were indeed a little worried that the city wall would be blown down. Now that they heard Hu Biao's order to retreat, they also hurried out of the door board fortifications.

Located on both sides of the main city tower, Hu Biao still led people to hold on. With the help of machine guns, cross fire is formed, and the little devils who enter the 200-meter radius of the city wall are constantly hunted. It wasn't until after several rounds of blasting that the main city tower finally collapsed.

Facing the completely collapsed main city tower, Hu Biao knew that it was almost time to leave, and then said: "All retreat!" ”

As Hu Biao ordered a retreat, the defenders of the city, who had consumed almost the same amount of ammunition, quickly retreated in an orderly manner from both sides. As for Hu Biao's words, he is still in charge of the palace, and he keeps hunting and killing the attacking little devils with the help of sniper rifles.

The little devil Inoue Intaro, who was supervising the battle in the rear, saw that the main city gate was finally blown down, and immediately said excitedly: "Kill a few and give it to you!" Storm the city and destroy those damned Shina troops! ”

Although the main tower was blown up, the slope created was not conducive to climbing. Fortunately, with the retreat of Hu Biao and the others, the little devil who was in charge of the attack was finally able to climb at a rapid pace, follow the ruins of the collapsed main city gate, and see the situation in the city clearly.

And at this moment, the shelling of the little devils can finally stop. But these little devils didn't know that when their shelling stopped, Xu Sandao, who had been waiting under the city tower, led a platoon to rush into the ruins on both sides of the street.

As for the troops who withdrew from the city tower, they ran to the end of the street quickly under the leadership of Huang Erzhuan. The Japanese soldiers who had just climbed the tower could clearly see the rapidly withdrawing garrison troops.

Seeing this scene, the little devil officer who led the team immediately said: "Ba Ge Yalu, hurry up, don't let them run away!" Catch up with them and kill them all! ”

The officers and men of the 33rd Infantry Wing who were ordered to come did not expect that they would pay such a heavy price in the Zhongshan Gate Tower. Although the casualty figure is still counted, everyone can see the scene of corpses everywhere outside the city gate.

The culprit who caused such a large casualty was fleeing under their noses at this moment, how could this make the little devil not angry?

With a large number of Japanese infantry, with the help of the ruins of the collapsed main city tower, they finally came to the streets of the city smoothly. In the face of the retreating garrison in front, they formed a little and then pursued forward in great strides.

As soon as they rushed to a place not far from the ruins of the city tower, in the ruins on both sides of the street, heavy gunfire was heard again. Even more frightening to the Japanese army were the grenades that were thrown towards the ruins of the main city tower.

"There is an ambush! Get down! There are enemies in the ruins, fight back! Fight back on the spot! ”

On the other hand, Xu Sandao, who was staying in the ruins, also said loudly: "Kill!" Aim and hit and kill all these damn little devils! Grenades, get ready! Three, two, one, throw! ”

Countless grenades, from the ruins on both sides of the street, were thrown into the empty streets. The little devil who finally climbed through the ruins of the castle tower and was about to start the pursuit did not expect that there was an enemy hidden in the ruins that had just been shelled.

The little devil who followed behind, hearing the gunshots coming from inside, was also desperately trying to send reinforcements. But in the face of the guns and grenades that kept smashing into the ruins of the main city tower, the little devils who were still waiting to enter had no choice but to dodge.

The little devils who had already climbed the ruins of the main city tower became the victims of those guns and grenades. Those little devils who went to the city early were quickly surrounded and annihilated by Xu Sandao and others, until there was no longer a living little devil on the street.

Seeing this scene, Xu Sandao whistled and said, "Brothers, withdraw!" ”

Xu Sandao and the others, who did not take the main street, quickly withdrew from the ruins that had been shelled earlier, and ran towards the street in front of them from the alley behind the ruins. By the time the Japanese shelled again, they had safely withdrawn out of the shelling range.

When the shelling was over, the little devils who climbed on the ruins again and looked at the corpses of Japanese soldiers strewn across the streets, these little devils suddenly felt that this seemingly undefended city was like a gate of hell open to them!

Take a city tower, all pay such heavy casualties. And how many ambushes are waiting for them on this street leading to the presidential palace? This time, if you want to successfully capture the presidential palace, I am afraid that it will only be possible to pay a heavier price!
