553. Siege and counter-siege
In addition to this special grenade, there are also more lethal medium-range rifles, short-range and very useful repeating shell guns, and hand-to-hand combat weapons with large blades.
Therefore, as soon as Lao Guo and the others saw a group of devils pouting their buttocks and shooting in front, everyone invariably threw out a batch of grenades with prefabricated fragmentation cartridges.
At the moment after the grenade exploded, Lao Guo jumped out, pulled out two shell guns, fired his bow left and right, and swept away the dizzy devils who were blown up.
The other brothers, holding their rifles and bayonets, rushed out dozens of meters with a quick impact, and in an instant, they rushed out dozens of meters, and the bright bayonets were handed to the tip of the devil's nose.
The shouts of killing were the offensive slogans that the Chinese army could understand each other, and the defenders in the house also rushed out from inside as soon as they heard the shouts of killing outside.
For a time, the two sides attacked, and the remaining devils were scattered, most of them became ghosts under the knife of the Chinese, and the last few remaining devils, under the cover of the smoke screen, turned back and crawled and fled.
Lao Guo didn't chase after him, looking at these devils, seeing that they knew the rules very well, they didn't flee to the center of Zhuangzi, it seemed that they hadn't fainted yet, they could still find the direction, and they knew how to flee back.
Lao Qin in the back, naturally they will not let go of this meat to the mouth, and when the guns go down for a while, the devils will die completely, and these devils don't understand until they die, why there is still a Chinese army behind them.
Lao Guo and his comrades-in-arms in these houses joined forces, like a spring flowing into a stream, continuing Lao Guo's tactics, because the forward troops of the devils were already doing beyond the attack.
A group of devils crossed the houses just now, leaving only a group of devils who had just been annihilated to attack here, and all the others quickly infiltrated inside.
Everyone continued to cover each other's advances, and due to the increase in numbers and the number of people approaching the Zhuangzi, it felt like they were not retreating now, but clearing out the devils.
However, the offensive and defensive sides of the street battle will be reversed at any time, which is reflected in Lao Qin and them, who didn't follow Lao Guo and them far, and they were attacked by the devils who followed them behind.
As soon as Lao Qin heard the sound of thirty-eight gunshots coming from a distance behind him, he knew that there were devils following him, and it was estimated that the third and fourth batches of devils were assault troops.
Just as Lao Qin reminded everyone to be on guard, the devil came up, really fast, maybe this area was no longer defended.
The devil also wanted to make a surprise attack on Lao Qin's back, but he couldn't do it, firstly, Lao Qin and they were facing away from Lao Guo, facing backwards, and walking backwards, and secondly, they heard the sound of 38 gunshots just now, and they were already on guard.
As soon as the devil came up, he threw grenades, and Lao Qin roughly judged the number of devils based on the sound of the devil's grenade explosion, although it was not accurate, but it was an approximate idea.
There are really a lot of devils, at least one squad of people, Lao Qin and their platoon, once they fight, they are extremely difficult, and the devils' grenades and machine guns are overwhelming.
Lao Guo and their platoon, as soon as they heard that Lao Qin was tight in the back, they immediately rushed over to help Lao Qin, Lao Guo didn't know how many devils there were, so he dared to divide his troops and attack the devils in a roundabout way.
After seeing Lao Qin, I realized that there were a lot of devils, and I was afraid that they would not be able to withstand it.
And a multi-platoon brother unit that was rescued just now, just when he wanted to come up to support, he was bitten by the devil who did the overtaking attack in front of him, and he couldn't get out.
It seems that the devil is really arrogant, and he wants to encircle part of the Chinese army in Zhuangzi, which is controlled by the Chinese army.
Now that this area has entered the deeper part of the Zhuangzi, doesn't the devil know that the Chinese army has a large number of reserve troops?
Maybe the devil relied on his own cattle and dared to do this, just like the small group of people who followed and bit Lao Qin just now, and immediately divided his troops to make a detour, preparing to flank Lao Qin and Lao Guo and their two platoons.
This time it was also a coincidence, although the roundabout troops sent by the devil and the people sent by Lao Guo were both going in the same direction, they were just staggered.
And the time when both sides arrived was about the same, that is, at the same time that Lao Qin's flank was attacked by the devil's embedding, a squad sent by Lao Guo was also attacking the same side of the devil.
The devils were surprised, this was not the Chinese army they had encountered before, and the Chinese army they had encountered before either collapsed at the touch of a button, or they were stupidly passive defense, and if they could prevent it, they would defend it, and if they couldn't prevent it, they would withdraw.
And now these Chinese troops are so strong, not only dare to face hard, but also very flexible and changeable in combat, just such a few people, but also dare to meet and counter-charge counterattack, and dare to divide troops to attack sideways.
But now the troops of both sides are in a mess, there is me in the enemy, and there is an enemy in us, and it is impossible to tell who surrounded whom, anyway, they are all mixed together.
It was also at this time that the 184th Regiment finally restored its command system, and Regiment Commander Huo learned about the situation on the battlefield, and also knew that the three battalions were fighting the Japanese army on their own, and now they were fighting together.
Commander Huo gave an order, the machine gun company bombarded the gap, and the second battalion went to plug the gap, and then released the first battalion of the reserve with neat soldiers to help the third battalion encircle and suppress the devils who came in.
At the same time, the 31st Brigade of the 93rd Division in Zhuangzi also applied for mountain artillery fire from the division headquarters, and the divisional artillery battalion also opened fire despite the tracking of devil artillery.
The artillery battalion began to bombard the gap northwest of Zhuangzi continuously, at least for several minutes before immediately withdrawing to the next position.
These deployments and artillery support are like nectar after a long drought for Lao Han's scattered third battalion, and now Taierzhuang is like a big tiger.
The gap just now was like a tiger's mouth, opening it and letting the devil in, but now that it is closed, the tiger's fangs and sharp teeth are beginning to be exposed, and the devil in the mouth is about to be bitten to death.
The devils, who were surrounded inside and outside, were attacked by the powerful attack of the first battalion of the 184th Regiment outside, and on the other hand, they were attacked by the center of the third battalion in the middle, especially the ninth company.
Originally, the devils in the melee had no way to organize an effective formation to defend, but now they are squeezed by the two-sided attack, and most of the devils are compressed in a small space, and they can only do some useless confrontations.
"Don't surrender, kill me."
Commander Huo's previous military order was very clear, but the crazy devils did not give Commander Huo and Lao Qin a chance, they would rather die in battle than surrender.
In the face of the devils who hid in the stone house and resisted to the end, the first battalion brought in mortars from the machine gun company and "hoisted" mortar shells into the house.
Mortar shells kept blooming in the center of the house, and some devils couldn't stand the bombing and fled one after another, but as soon as they came out, they were almost dead, and there were many guns facing each other outside.
But there are still some devils who use the fortifications in the houses that the Chinese army did before to dodge mortar shells, and for a while, the two sides are in a stalemate, and no one can help anyone.
