The national soldiers defending the city kept throwing grenades under the walls.

Under the lethality of the grenades, soon, half of the devil soldiers who were besieging the city were killed and wounded.

Seeing that if it continued like this, it would only increase the unnecessary casualties, and Captain Tanaka, the leader of the devil's squadron in the distance, had no choice but to let the herald launch a signal to retreat.

"Don't throw it away."

As soon as Zhao Zilong saw that the devils were running back when they heard the retreating military trumpets, he immediately pulled Wen Bin, who was about to throw a grenade.

"What?"

Wen Bin was stunned.

He was so excited by throwing a grenade to blow up the devil just now that he couldn't come back to his senses for a while, forgetting that the grenade in his hand had been unscrewed and the back cover had been pulled off.

"Xiaobin, throw it away."

When Zhang Long, who was next to him, saw it, his face suddenly changed greatly, and he exclaimed.

The nearby national army was also stunned when they saw the smoking grenade.

Zhao Zilong's eyelids jumped, and he immediately strode over, snatched the grenade from Wen Bin's hand with one hand, and threw it hard outside the city wall.

The grenade made a black arc in the air.

Bang!

Before the grenade hit the ground, it exploded in mid-air, sending a cloud of smoke into the air.

The flying fragments instantly knocked several ghost soldiers who ran behind them to the ground, screaming in pain.

Although they reached out and shouted to their companions in front of them, none of them came back to help.

Bang! Bang! Bang! ……

Several gunshots rang out from the city wall, and these devils were shot dead by the national army one by one.

Listening to the gunfire behind them, the retreating devil soldiers were even more frightened, and they fled back with crawling belts.

"The devil retreated, we won the ......"

Some of the recruits of the national army immediately rushed to the city wall happily, pointed to the yellow crowd fleeing in the distance, and shouted with joy.

But Zhang Long and these veterans only sighed softly, because they knew that this was the devil's first attack.

It was 9 to 10 a.m., and although it was winter, the warm sun was starting to shine on the ground.

Zhao Zilong wiped the sweat from his forehead, stood by the half-poured city wall battlement, and looked down.

The devils retreated, but left behind more than a hundred corpses.

Under the city walls, on the banks of the moats, on the roofs of buildings, and at broken walls......

The blood-stained ground blackened by the smoke of the bombs, the muddy, reddish river, the smoking craters, and the ladders that were crooked and broken......

Look at the side of the city wall, which is broken and rubble, and half of the crumbling tower is missing, and the dozens of wounded soldiers who were carried together and sacrificed by the national army, or lying or sitting on the ground waiting for treatment......

Looking at all this, Zhao Zilong couldn't help frowning, he was deeply shocked.

This is war, this is the cruelty of war.

"Oops, I'm exhausted."

Wen Bin saw that the devils ran out of the moat, ran out of the houses on the other bank, and fled far away, so he was so tired that he sat down on the ground.

Although the ground was covered with large and small stones and bricks, it hurt his buttocks, but he couldn't care about it.

Because the other national troops had repelled the devils just now, and for the first time killed as many as two squadrons of devils at the cost of a few casualties, they couldn't help but relax and sat down on the ground to rest.

"Don't rest yet, prepare more grenades, the devil will attack again soon." When Wang Zhong saw it, his face sank, and he immediately shouted.

"Brothers, hurry up!" Zhang Long gritted his teeth, endured the pain, and immediately beckoned his third platoon of national troops.

The veterans immediately went to clean up the battlefield, while Wen Bin and the recruits stood up slowly.

"I don't want to be blown up by devils, hurry up and clean up." Wang Zhong kicked Wen Bin.

"Camp! I'm tired, it's not that I don't want to get up. Wen Bin muttered.

Wang Zhong saw that there were still a few recruits who still didn't mean to get up, his eyes widened, and he was immediately frightened that these people immediately got up.

"Camp! We don't have many grenades. At this time, the deputy battalion commander ran over and wiped the sweat from his forehead.

"What? Used so fast? Don't go get it yet. Wang Zhong widened his eyes again and shouted.

The deputy battalion commander was stunned and replied, "Camp! The Quartermaster Service did not arrange for the delivery of ammunition until noon. I asked yesterday, and they are now arranging for special vehicles to deliver ammunition to various positions at noon every day, so we don't have to run to collect it. ”

"Camp! There's ammunition down there, why don't we pick it up? One of the soldiers pointed to the bottom of the city walls.

The devil not only left behind the corpses of his companions, but also left some guns and ammunition that he didn't have time to take away.

"The devil can attack at any time." Wang Zhong shook his head, but after thinking about it, he asked, "Why do you go down?" ”

Because the gates were sealed with stone and wood, the only way to go down was to hang them down with ropes from the walls. Although it can go down, it is also dangerous, and if there are devil gunners on the other side, they will definitely be able to hit the target.

"Look, there's someone on the 264th Regiment's side going down." At this time, another national soldier shouted

Zhao Zilong and everyone didn't look over, only to see a few ropes hanging down from the city wall on the right, and four national troops slid down the city wall.

They ran to pick up guns, crooked handles, and grenades from the corpses of devils.

But they had only picked up a dozen guns, and there was a shot on the other side of the moat, and two national soldiers were immediately shot. The other two Nationalists hurriedly climbed back, but one of the Nationalists who climbed to the middle of the city wall was shot and fell, and he was not alive.

At this moment, everyone was so scared that they didn't dare to speak anymore.

"Don't go down, there's still some ammunition, if you want to pick it up, go at night." Wang Zhong shouted, and stopped a few national troops who wanted to go down.

After seeing the devils on the other side shooting, he immediately hid in the house and did not come out, so Zhao Zilong had to give up the idea of shooting.

He looked at the city wall, his eyes suddenly lit up, and he immediately said to Wang Zhong: "Brother Wang! You tell everyone to prepare fire oil and boiling water, these are very useful. ”

Everyone's eyes widened when they heard this, but they quickly understood.

"That's right! How could I not have thought of that? Hurry up, you go and prepare. Wang Zhong immediately urged the deputy battalion commander again.

-

This side of the devil's camp.

"Yaga!"

Captain Tanaka shouted at the artillerymen: "You guys, why did you run away? ”

The first siege failed, and he vented his anger on these people.

The artillerymen turned pale with fright, and no one dared to answer.

"Captain Tanaka! I think it was mainly because the leader of the Tamura artillery squad was not in command properly, so he was shot and killed by the gunners. Captain Akino, who was next to him, interjected: "It was because that spearman killed our machine gunner that the siege fire was reduced." ”

"Hmm. It's the gunman again. Our gunmen were all killed by him, even Sasa Shunichi was killed by that man, and now no one can deal with him. Tanaka frowned.

Captain Akino rolled his eyes and said, "Sasa Jun wanted to kill the Shina officer, but he was distracted and not attentive enough, so he was hit by that Shina gunman."

We can arrange a small detachment of gunners to deal with only that person, and we will definitely be able to kill the other party.

Even if we can't, we can suppress that man, and our machine gunners can rest assured that they will support the stormtroopers. ”

"You're a good idea." Captain Tanaka nodded.

Qiu Ye touched his nose and proposed again: "Moreover, we also have to arrange a grenadier team and an artillery team to hide behind those private houses, where the gunners can't reach them, and specifically support the charging warriors, then it will be easy to break through the city wall." ”

"Good. That's a good idea. Captain Tanaka was immediately pleased.

But when he thought about it, he frowned again: "However, our ladder is not long enough, and the warriors can't climb the city wall, what should we do?" ”

Akino replied without thinking, "Then lengthen the ladder." ”

"When you're ready to attack, how can you have time to find so many bamboos and sticks?" Captain Tanaka looked at each other and asked.

Captain Akino was stunned and couldn't help but scratch his little head.

"Two squadron leaders!" Then the adjutant next to him came up and said, "I have an idea. ”

"Say!" Captain Tanaka immediately shouted.

"We can tie two ladders together, and that's long enough." The adjutant bowed his head and replied.

"Yo Si! Very good. Captain Tanaka's eyes lit up, and he immediately praised the adjutant.

"Hmm." Captain Akino nodded, then smiled, "We have made these preparations, this time we will definitely be able to break through the city." ”
