The entire city became a hunting ground for the 3rd Special Squad, and the Japanese troops who could go to reinforce the south gate ended up with less than 200 people, at least a third, falling on the march under the attack of medium bullets from the darkness.

Although gunfire was heard, no Japanese detachment went to reinforce them, and they received an order to reinforce the south gate.

But even if they ran to the south gate out of breath, what could they do?

Fifteen minutes was enough time for the bayonet battalion, which had blasted a ten-meter-wide gap in the city wall, to storm the city.

The Japanese troops defending the city walls did not fail to make their own efforts, but the firepower they once prided themselves on was too thin for the bayonet battalion.

The only Type 92 heavy machine gun fired less than two minutes before it was sent into the air with an accurate burst of ten mortar shells. The light machine gun is slightly stronger, and when it risks showing its head and hitting a shuttle, it immediately moves with the machine gun in its arms, and the survival time is a little longer than that of the heavy machine gun.

However, these Japanese defense troops, which are composed of the technical arms of the engineer wing, have probably never hated their military experts so much. The thirty-centimeter-high gun carriage of the crooked-handled light machine gun they used was so high that if you wanted to shoot with a machine gun, the shooter's entire body would be exposed to the enemy's sight.

If your own firepower can suppress the opponent, then that's fine, but if other people's machine gun bullets can almost break the wall battlement, and you have to set up light machine guns to shoot at others, it is completely looking for death. Without a gun mount, just set up a machine gun and shoot at people along the firing port, that is simply funny, the violent vibration of the machine gun causes the bullet to fly without knowing where it goes, it is better not to fight more relaxed.

There was almost no need for mortar bombardment, and after several waves of Japanese light machine gun shooters were killed in a row, the only two remaining light machine guns no one dared to touch them anymore.

Without heavy machine guns and light machine guns, just with the 38 big covers, you want to stop the pace of an infantry company of the bayonet battalion? Don't even think about it.

The attack of the infantry company of the bayonet battalion on the Japanese city wall was not actually a rapid advance of the whole company, but an infantry platoon in the front, an infantry platoon in the rear, and the fire platoon hanging at the end.

Because they were not the most commonly used skirmish line of the national army to charge forward, but the 200-meter front was too narrow for them to put down two infantry platoons.

One infantry platoon, two infantry squads, one slightly in front and one slightly behind, the fire squad in the flank and behind, forming a large triangle between the three squads.

If you look down from the sky, you can clearly see the advance formation of an infantry squad, from the front is an inverted triangle, there is a triangle on the left and right, and the three triangles form a large triangle, with a distance of about 30 meters between each point, and the margin remains 45o tilt.

Three squads form a large triangle, and so on and so forth, three platoons, three companies, and even three battalions.

In the middle of this battle triangle formed by the infantry squad, the squad leader armed with a Suomi submachine gun and the squad light machine gun group and the bazooka team were in a straight line.

Separate regiments, already armed with semi-automatic rifles, have almost reached the level of equipment of the late seventies of the future republic. The first offensive triangle was flanked by a squad lieutenant armed with a Suomi submachine gun with two infantry armed with semi-automatic rifles, flanked by two infantry armed with precision marksmen armed with semi-automatic sniper rifles, and flanked by three infantry armed with semi-automatic rifles.

Nine infantry can spray more than 150 rounds of ammunition at the enemy in 30 seconds in the attacking state, which is almost equivalent to the firepower value that a Japanese squad of 50 people can pour, and this is only auxiliary firepower. The sharpest thing in the entire infantry squad is the squad light machine gun and another Suomi submachine gun located in the center of the three triangles, in 30 seconds, the light machine gun and Suomi submachine gun can shoot more than 200 rounds, just from the aspect of shooting bullets, the firepower value of an infantry squad in the attack state in 30 seconds can reach nearly 400 rounds.

On the other hand, a 54-man infantry squad of the Japanese army, with two light machine guns and more than 40 infantrymen, fired a total of more than 400 rounds of bullets in 30 seconds. If it was a small detachment with the same number of people as the infantry squad of the independent regiment, it would have long been unknown where it would have been killed in seconds.

The bazooka team is even more of a big killer, although the range is slightly shorter, but the range of 150 meters is enough to ensure that the infantry squad destroys the civil fortifications in front of the infantry squad during the attack and advance.

This is the new three-three tactics improved by the future republic after the abundance of machine guns, and the officers and men of the independent regiment have already practiced many times with the blue army after the DP squad equipped the troops with light machine guns.

Its core not only maintains the flexibility and multi-level nature of the original three-three tactics, but also ensures the core of the squad firepower, all offensive and defensive are centered around the light machine gun and rocket launcher fire group, which seems to be somewhat similar to the machine gun squad tactics of the Third Reich at this time, but it maintains more flexibility of the infantry.

This is a perfect offensive and defensive formation with a clear distribution of firepower and mutual unloading, without the shortcomings of the firepower that is widely used in the West to advance in multiple layers of stragglers, and it is especially important that the interval between each battle group is kept at a reasonable distance, so as to avoid the problem of excessive losses when encountering artillery fire.

According to calculations, a Japanese 90-mm mortar shell falling into an attack formation can only cause one casualty, and a 105 howitzer can only knock out two groups at most. Because the core firepower group of this tactic has always been kept in the center of the three triangles, unless it is suddenly hit by three or four consecutive 75 mm caliber shells, the machine gunner or bazooka man can always be retained, so that the heavy firepower will not be completely wiped out after the team is reduced.

Of course, this casualty calculation was made in the case of heavy Japanese artillery fire. At this time, the biggest role of the three-three formation is not to prevent casualties, but to maximize firepower. In addition to the dozen or so machine guns on both flanks and the rifle fire of more than 100 infantrymen, even if it was a surprise advance, the firepower of the front of the two infantry platoons and four infantry squads of the infantry company was also higher than that of more than 100 Japanese troops.

What's more, it is still unknown whether there are more than 100 Japanese troops who can fight back now.

Anyway, no more than ten soldiers fell in the assault. For the assault troops charging at the fortifications of the city, the casualties were already very few. There were also medical guards along with the advance of the infantry platoon, and the fallen soldiers were dragged by them to hide in the field and hid in the bunker they could hide for the first time.

Finding a brother who can survive in the fallen body of a brother who gets along day and night is also a difficult choice for all medical soldiers, and it is also a huge test for their psychology.

Of course, the medics also have wartime regulations, and they give priority to rescuing soldiers who are not critically shot. It's brutal, but it's a battlefield. Sacrifice is inevitable, and what they have to do is to ensure that all the soldiers who are still alive continue to live, not to show grief in the face of death.

If you want to have the right to grieve, you have to wait to win this damned war provoked by the Japanese.

Not only do they have to bear the huge psychological pressure of choosing to save their comrades, but they also have to face the threat of their own death. Therefore, it is not so easy to become a medical soldier in an independent regiment.

They not only have to undergo rigorous tactical training, but also have to undergo harsh psychological tests, and they also have to go to field hospitals to train all kinds of battlefield first aid. Therefore, the rank of medical officer is generally above that of a sergeant, and the salary is 15 percent higher than that of an ordinary sergeant.

However, not only did no one oppose this, but on the battlefield, the officers and soldiers also protected them the most. Medical soldiers, but the first lifeline of all officers and soldiers, as long as they are shot, whether they can survive to the field hospital to rescue them depends on their ability. In other words, life and death are up to them.

And for the Japanese troops in the counterattack, this is already within their reach.

After all, the firepower they encountered was more than a regiment of the Chinese army they encountered in northern China.

A defender of less than a squadron of infantry could still fight back so stubbornly in the face of a blow of almost equal firepower from an infantry brigade of them. These Japanese sappers have done what they can.

Even Liu Lang did not despise them. Even with cannons, machine guns far outnumbered and semi-automatic rifles that were far more advanced than them, they still used all their strength.

The fighting will of the veterans of the Japanese army in the early days of the war must not be underestimated.

In five minutes, the infantry had already been brought into the range of the bazookas, and when the steel ball bullets and incendiary bombs exploded above the heads of the Japanese troops, the Japanese defense line had become dangerous, and when the infantry platoon of the infantry that completely suppressed the Japanese firepower entered the city wall through the open ground and began to clear the Japanese troops hiding on and behind the city wall, the Japanese troops who were attacked on two or even three sides had no strength to resist, and the entire defense line completely collapsed.

They were either shot by automatic and semi-automatic firearms on the way to flee after abandoning the defensive line, or they were killed by rockets and grenades in the already burning fortifications.

The battle with the Japanese army on the entire southern gate defense line lasted only twelve or thirteen minutes after the city wall was blasted open by explosives. From the beginning of the battle to the present, less than 20 minutes have passed, and the south gate of the Japanese army has been completely lost.

The Japanese soldiers who were able to escape were no more than a few at most.

On the side of the east gate, the cannon roared louder and louder, and it was obvious that the red general and his men were in a bitter battle, and the tenacity of the little devils allowed them to temporarily block the attack of an infantry regiment.

Of course, Liu Lang knew that it was only temporary. In another twenty minutes at most, the Japanese army will be completely devoid of resistance.

On the south side of the gate, the Japanese troops who came to reinforce happened to run headlong into the muzzle of an infantry company that had entered the city wall.

There were not many people themselves, and they were ordered to come from all over the city, and they did not form any scale, so in the face of this near-fatal refueling tactic, how could the 1st Infantry Battalion of the Bayonet Battalion, which had already set up machine guns on the walls and occupied Japanese fortifications to cover the follow-up troops entering the city, be polite?

The pouring rain of bullets made the second-line soldiers of the Japanese army doubt their lives, and before they even waited for the big guys to gather together to form a scale, the baggage soldiers who were beaten and stunned began to flee.

The soldiers of the 108th and 109th divisions, which are second-line divisions, are still much worse than those of the 20th division, especially in terms of the will to fight.

After the main force of the battalion entered the city, it took the lead in advancing in the direction of the Japanese division headquarters along the clear road map marked on the map of Shimen City that Yu Xiancheng had already drawn.

On their way, there will be a third special squad to help them clear obstacles, if there are special forces and infantry companies that can't do anything, there is nothing that four mountain guns and four mortars, two infantry guns, and eight rocket launchers can't solve.
