On April 20, the 29th year of the Republic of China (1940), in the middle of the night, the sharp knives of the Eighth Company Death Squad rushed out in the thick night and felt out towards the invisible front.

The commander of the eighth company led the team, followed by a dozen or so men, all the way to the area of 200 meters under the Japanese city wall, stopped, and then went to the place controlled by the Japanese army.

If during the day, nearly a mile outside the city wall was covered and controlled by Japanese fire, but now at night, the Japanese army has dropped torches and occasional flares in the sky in an area of 200 meters to illuminate this area.

The enemy is not so stupid as he thinks, it should be said that they are more shrewd than our Chinese Chinese army, otherwise, they will not be able to enter China at all, and even come to the hinterland of the mainland.

It is really difficult to get through the test under the nose of such a shrewd enemy, which is why Luo Zhicheng did not dare to speak out at the military meeting of the division headquarters, although he agreed with Liu Guangyu's plan for a night attack.

After a day of various attacks, the 51st Division could not defeat Fengxincheng, and the artillery battalion only fired a few shells, and the shells could not be supplied.

Besides, because the division commander repeatedly asked for a few more artillery shots, the mountain artillery of the artillery battalion was also targeted by the Japanese army's large-caliber howitzers, and one was blown up.

Without decent offensive weapons during the day, it is impossible to defeat this city wall, and the fire on the tower of the Japanese army is very fierce, and it cannot be suppressed, and no matter how many people pass, they will die in front of the city wall.

Originally, according to Luo Zhicheng's idea, the best way was to dig tunnels, dig several tunnels together, dig all the way to the city wall, blow down several sections of the city wall with explosives, and then kill them.

The amount of tunnels that can be dug is very large, and it can't be completed in three or five days, and the time is not allowed, and the military headquarters above has already urged it to do it, and Li Tianxia, the division commander, can't wait to go into battle by himself.

Since this can't work, then there is only one way to go through the night attack, Luo Zhicheng is silent, he hopes that Liu Guangyu will not mention their three battalions, there are so many troops, why do you always drag the three battalions into the sea of fire?

But Liu Guangyu did just that, and his preference for the third battalion on weekdays had already aroused the opinions of the first and second battalions, and the two battalion commanders were very old.

The first battalion commander Chen Chuanjun is Zhang Lingwu's old subordinate, who used to be the battalion commander at the same time as Liu Guangyu, but now Liu Guangyu has become the regiment commander, Chen Chuanjun has always been unconvinced, and Liu Guangyu has let him everywhere.

The second battalion commander Chang Demao is Li Tianxia's old subordinate, and he used to be the battalion commander at the same level as Liu Guangyu, not to mention that he is the descendant of the division commander, and the county officials are not as good as the current management, and Liu Guangyu does not dare to offend.

Now only the third battalion commander Luo Zhicheng has the lowest qualifications, of course, he is a descendant of Zhang Lingwu and Liu Guangyu, and he used to be a company commander under Liu Guangyu.

Therefore, it is normal to prefer the third battalion on weekdays, but when it comes to this kind of hard work, you can only find capable old subordinates, so the third battalion is always found by the regiment commander to do these jobs.

Fortunately, the third battalion is more competitive for the regiment commander, and in most cases, the task can be completed, and now in this night's night attack, the regiment commander can only find the third battalion.

Luo Zhicheng has always been a little puzzled by how Regiment Commander Liu did everything in front of the division commander this time, and even offered to attack Fengxin's city wall at night.

It can only be understood that the 152nd Regiment is the main attacking force, and it can't take Feng Xinlai, and in the end only the regiment commander is the one who bears the blame, and the way of fighting during the day, there are too many dead people, and everyone is distressed.

If Luo Zhicheng hadn't stopped the Ninth Company in time, the Ninth Company would have been crippled with some other main attacking companies.

According to Luo Zhicheng's opinion, this night attack cannot be completely called a night attack, because in the last 200 meters, he can only rush to the death, and he only uses the 300 meters that cannot advance during the day.

In these 300 meters, it would take nearly a minute for the infantry to charge, but in the fierce fire of the Japanese army, in this minute, almost no one could cross this distance of life and death.

But in the last 200 meters at night, it is estimated that it will take half a minute to charge with all your strength, and in this half a minute, there are very few people who can rush to the bottom of the city wall, and there are only a few people under the city wall, what is the use?

This is what Luo Zhicheng has to consider, how to use the role of these people, maybe they can play a role in diverting the enemy's attention, and the demomen who appear in other places are the real attackers.

But of course, they didn't want to just survive the rain of bullets, so they found the Ninth Company in advance and found the dozen or so wet quilts.

In addition, some quilts were also collected from everywhere, wetted, and tied to the door panels, and seven or eight wet quilts were spread on each door panel, and three people carried a door panel.

Previously, the soldiers of the Eighth Company had secretly transported five door panels tied with wet quilts to the edge of the city wall 200 meters below the city wall and hid them in a trench dug by the enemy.

In addition to the moats, there is also a point that in this 200-meter area, most of the barricades have been bombed by mortar during the day, and there is a trench that winds all the way to the bottom of the city wall.

The enemy who had been guarding here had now all withdrawn to the city, and only the Japanese troops on the tower of the city were keeping an eye on these places, working several shifts at night and defending them tightly.

With the door panels and the wet quilt, the doglegs changed their tactics, and the knife platoon changed some of the candidates, adding the Demoman to enter.

There were now three people under each of the door panels, and the one in the middle was the Demoman, carrying several explosive packs on his back, and the three of them together began to rush under the walls with the wet quilt on the door panels.

Even though everyone carefully chose to advance along the trench that had been destroyed to the point of disappearance, they were immediately discovered by the Japanese troops on the castle tower.

After a gunshot, the night sky was pierced by the sharp sound of 38 rifles, and the Japanese troops on the city tower immediately surged like disgusting maggots.

Suddenly, the light and heavy machine guns immediately woke up and began to search and strafe this side, but the third battalion also reacted immediately, and the heavy machine guns that had been positioned in front began to cooin and start a suppressive counterattack towards the castle tower.

The 3rd Battalion concentrated all the mortars of the machine gun company and the three infantry companies, and began to saturate the attack on the Japanese machine guns that had just fired, and in an instant, the artillery fire covered this section of the tower.

The Japanese mortars also began to counterattack, but their night shooting skills were far inferior to those of the three battalions of bamboo poles.

It's just that the distance between them is too far, and they can't catch the parabola of the Japanese mortar shells at night, so they can't determine where their mortars are, and there is no way to blow up the devil's mortars.

But the current firepower is enough for the doglegs, and at this moment, the five door panels made of wet quilts rushed forward desperately in the trench.

In a puff of air, the Demoman immediately shoved the grenade into a bullet hole or a crack in the bricks, and if it didn't, he used a detonator to blow a small hole and then stuff the grenade.

After each dodge, they detonate the grenade, blow up a large hole, and immediately fill it with explosives, and they block the Demoman while pushing against the door panel.
