"Call me!"

"Bang, bang, bang—"

With the shouting of Li Fengrui, who was in charge of the western defense line of the inner city, on this nearly 450-meter breastwork defense line, more than 500 rifles of an entire infantry battalion fired at the Japanese troops 150 meters ahead.

"Brothers, call me!"

At this time, on the top of the western section of the city wall in the north of Xiluo City, the soldiers of the first battalion of the defending Xu Bang Daobu saw that the soldiers on the right flank of the Japanese Okada Department had entered an effective firing range of 200 meters, and shouted and ordered an attack.

"Bang, bang, bang—"

"Kill the Japanese people!"

Although these Gong Guards are all new recruits, they have been taught by the preaching team these days, as well as the silver and promises of white flowers, which have long aroused the blood of the masters.

What's more important is to stand on the city wall and fight down condescendingly, and suddenly have monstrous courage.

He made a 'bang' of the rifle in his hand, yelling and shooting.

"Yaga! Twelfth Squadron, hold them down! ”

Gangda Zhaoyi was furious to see that his right flank was actually attacked by the Qing army, which had always been timid, and was immediately shouted by the embarrassed 'Wow Wow' and ordered: "Kill them all, so that they dare not show their heads, knowing the sharpness of the imperial soldiers!" ”

"Aim and shoot!"

Seeing that Xiluo City was fighting, Liu Yu's deputy battalion, which was on the front line in the southwest corner of the North Wing City, suddenly burst into gunfire and knocked a group of Japanese soldiers who were caught off guard to the ground.

"Brothers, hit me hard!"

Seeing that Xiluo City and North Wing City provided strong fire support, Li Fengrui yelled excitedly: "This is called fighting dogs on three sides!" ”

"Fight the dog on three sides, fight the dog on three sides! Haha-"

There was a laugh and a curse on the breast.

"Paralyzed, dogs, aren't you artillery, don't you still want to send out infantry? Now Lao Tzu is going to avenge the blood of his dead brothers! ”

A platoon commander of the anti-Japanese army with swollen eyes from crying scolded and shot again and again while crying.

"Avenge your brothers!"

With one shout after another, all the soldiers restrained their smiles and raised their guns through gritted teeth.

"Yaga, Yaga, Yaga!"

The sudden blow from the northern wing of the city shocked the attacking Japanese troops to change color, and there was a fear of falling into a trap.

And Okada Zhaoyi is even more angry.

"All forces halted their advance; The 7th and 8th squadrons were responsible for suppressing the northern flank, the 11th and 12th squadrons were responsible for suppressing the city of Ciro, and the 9th and 10th squadrons lay down and fired at the breastwork; Defeat them! ”

The situation in front of him was so complicated and weird, looking at the two large gaps stacked with wooden stakes at a hundred and fifty meters, Okada Akiyoshi seemed to feel that victory was within reach.

However, he has always been cautious, but he still chose to fight steadily and steadily, and decided to first defeat the condescending Qing army on the left and right flanks, and then make a more stable breakthrough.

"These cunning dogs! Brothers, pay attention to avoid bullets, move your head and body back and forth to shoot, and crouch down when reloading! ”

Seeing that the Japanese army was no longer attacking openly and bravely, Li Fengrui couldn't help but be full of disappointment, and loudly reminded the soldiers of all units to pay attention to mobile shooting and not to become a dead target for the Japanese soldiers.

The battle immediately stalled, and both sides of the Qing and Japanese sides gritted their teeth and fired fiercely, and soldiers were constantly shot.

In the three firing areas of the breastwork, the north flank, and the West Coast, more than 1,400 anti-Japanese troops and Gong Guards were 40 percent armed with repeating Mauser rifles and repeating fast guns, and 1,200 Japanese soldiers with single-shot Murata rifles were firing at each other.

However, almost all of the soldiers were new recruits, and their shooting accuracy was far inferior to that of the harshly trained Japanese soldiers.

Under the condition that the terrain, the number of people, and the density of guns and bullets were all superior, in the fierce fire, the casualties of the Qing army continued to rise rapidly, and it was obviously greater than that of the Japanese army.

"Outcropping, aiming and hitting again; Isn't it a gentleman? Break the city, everyone is finished! I haven't heard of how many captives fed the wild wolves! ”

Seeing the soldiers on the city wall, Yang Guang, a battalion officer seconded by Xu Bangdao to the Gong Guard, kept running back and forth on the two-hundred-meter city wall line shouting, supervising, and cheering.

"Brothers, the big deal is death, and we will be glorious when we go down to the Yama Palace! The old lady and aunt in the house have no military support, and there are still fifty acres of land in glory, buried in the feng shui treasure land of Jiaoshan, and there will definitely be a big official in the house; It's worth it! Kill these wreaks! ”

A big man in his early thirties yelled and stood up, raised his gun and took aim.

"Cao Sanwang, you squatted and beat me! Brothers, that's the reason, people die in the sky, but they are still a tough iron man! ”

The three successive commanders roared: "The martyr sign is set outside the house, ghosts and demons do not enter, which one of the township party passes by dares not to give a thumbs up and say 'hero'!" ”

"Kill the Japanese people!"

With one roar after another, the gunshots on Ciro City suddenly became dense again.

At this time, on the breast wall east of the inner city, Machida Jingubu, the captain of the 2nd Brigade of the 4th Wing of the Japanese Army, who was also attacked by the Qing army, chose to be more oriental.

"Leave these pigs alone, all troops shrink in the middle and run to attack!"

In Machida's view, as long as the troops were concentrated within 50 of the north and south centers of the breastwork, it would be difficult for the Qing army, which was within a firing distance of more than 200 meters from the two sections of the wall, to shoot effectively at the imperial army.

However, Machida Jingyu just forgot that the dense crowd team doubled the shooting accuracy of the soldiers of the anti-Japanese army on the city wall and Jia Qisheng's 'victory' battalion, which was not much better than blind shooting.

Moreover, the Japanese army no longer fired back at the northern flank and the Dongluo city wall, but made all the Qing troops dare to stand with their guns and aim carefully like rabbits.

Coupled with the chest wall in front of him, Cao Yitao's battalion desperately blocked.

"Ahh

Suddenly, the Japanese army's shock team screamed again and again, and the casualties doubled and skyrocketed.

"Baga, rush me! Break through them! ”

Machida Jingyu, who rushed into the Japanese army, did not understand why the casualties had increased so much at this time, and saw that the vanguard had rushed to a gap of more than ten meters long from the breastwork, less than 50 meters away.

Machida Jingyu couldn't help but shout excitedly: "Rush in and kill these clear pigs!" ”

"Hit me hard!"

With the red-eyed Cao Yitao's roar, on this nearly 500-meter defense line, more than 400 anti-Japanese soldiers suddenly burst into flames, all pointing at the head of the line of Japanese attack.

"Ahh

"Rush ——,——, help, don't step on me! Ahh

As the layers of Japanese troops attacked the vanguard soldiers and were shot by concentrated fire, Machida Keiube finally rushed to the gap in the breastwork after paying a large number of casualties.

"Move the barricades!"

Lieutenant Yoshinori Shirakawa, the leader of the 8th Squadron of the Japanese Army, who was the first to arrive at the blockade of the horse rejection pile, shouted excitedly: "The soldiers on both sides are shooting fiercely to cover!" ”

"Left post, middle post, concentrate fire on the gap, give me a hard hit!"

Seventy meters behind the breastwork, Wei Jiaxun, an officer of the Luyu Defense Battalion guarding the second line of defense against the horse piles, saw the Japanese troops rushing to the gap and trying to move away from those horse rejection piles, and hurriedly ordered the Wu Yi soldiers in charge of the positions in this area to shoot.

"Brothers, kill these dogs and avenge the dead brothers!"

Xu Zhaode, the left sentry officer, directly put the Mauser repeating rifle on the top of the horse rejection post, and shouted and shot again and again.

"Bang, bang, bang—"

Suddenly, on the second line of defense of the Qing army, the gunfire was loud, and the Japanese soldiers who were standing outside the gap and blocked the horse stake were splashed with blood flowers and were put down in pieces.
