Chapter 36: Night Attack (3)
It was under this circumstance that the battle broke out suddenly.
Although Liang Yan and Xiao Linghu had made all kinds of preparations in advance, thinking of many possible situations, and they had also thought of this situation, when the battle occurred, it was still unexpected.
When they entered Luodian Town, there seemed to be nothing, but as soon as the gunshots rang out, it was as if they had heard the order immediately, and those devils did not know where they came from, and appeared on the town street one by one, and the first machine gun rang out at the intersection of the village street, and swept towards the south street of the first battalion.
Although Liang Yan had already given the order to fight, someone was still a step slower, was shot by the bullets that came wildly, and fell in a pool of blood.
Xiao Linghu and Liang Yan hid together in a private house on the west side of the street, looking at the devil machine gun in the center of the town, which was obviously a machine gun position preset by the devil.
"That machine gun must be removed!" At this time, Liang Yan was also very sober.
Their battalion had already entered the town for the most part, and according to the prior plan, after entering the town, it quickly spread out to both sides, and swept away several houses on the left side of South Street in a company; The second company cleared several houses on the right side of South Street, and Amin's third company, as the reserve of this battalion, was responsible for guarding their rear in case the devils made a roundabout.
According to Cheshan's battle plan, after the 1st Battalion occupied several houses south of Luodian, it used this as a base to start street battles with the devils. The second battalion would attack Luodian from the west, and as long as the two battalions gained a foothold in the town, they would be able to join together and become the fulcrum of their attack.
The task of the 3rd Battalion was to make a detour back to the east of Luodian and attack from the east. In this way, a three-sided encirclement was formed, giving the devils a breath of life and allowing them to escape from the north.
In the darkness of the night, if the enemy is not particularly strong, the troops who are surrounded on three sides and have captured half of the town to the south will withdraw with great humility.
Che Shan didn't want to fight any war of annihilation, he knew very well that with the combat ability of their 65th Regiment, it would be a great luck to be able to drive the devils out of Luodian. If you really have to surround these devils, they won't be able to eat them at all.
Indeed, for the task of the 11th Division, occupying Luodian is now a death order issued by the front-line command, so at present, they still take occupying the key points as their first priority, and then they will consider killing and injuring the enemy more.
Of course, if the devils stubbornly resist and hold on to it, then for the 65th Regiment, that is the most uncomfortable.
For this reason, they also prepared for the worst, as long as they occupied half of the town, then they must keep it until dawn. After daybreak, several other units of the Eleventh Division would arrive here, and one regiment was already moving this way.
The devil's reinforcements will come and wait until dawn.
The nearest reinforcement of the devil is in Zhulou Village, where there is about a large group of enemies, so there must be a unit responsible for sending reinforcements, and the task of sending reinforcements can only be handed over to the 66th Regiment that rushed over.
Facing the firepower point in the center of the town, Xiao Linghu also knew that if he couldn't uproot it, then Liang Yan's battalion that had entered the town could only huddle in these houses along the street, unable to advance any further.
The devil's machine-gun fire point is indeed very well set up, and it can fire in all directions at the same time on Cross Center Street, which means that whoever occupies that position has the initiative of the whole town.
"I'm going to get rid of that!" Xiao Linghu volunteered.
"Okay, you have to be careful!" Liang Yan advised.
"Hmm!" Xiao Linghu answered, came out of the back door of the house, and touched the intersection along the root of the wall.
In fact, in the face of such a firepower point, only one mortar can be done, but if it is a situation where the enemy and the enemy are staggered, the artillery fire will not be used, and no one can predict whether it will hit their own people.
As soon as he walked to the corner of the wall, a person followed behind him, Xiao Linghu turned around, and saw Yizhimei nervously holding the newly obtained flower machine gun, following closely behind him, he didn't notice that when the devil machine gun rang out, Yizhimei and Sha Wenhua hid somewhere.
"Where's Brother Hua?" Xiao Linghu still couldn't help but ask.
"I don't know!" Yizhimei said: "Just now the two of us were together, and he shot and killed the leader of the devil, and then the enemy's machine gun rang out, and I saw him pounce across the street." I saw you coming, and I followed. ”
Xiao Linghu suddenly thought that this was the first time that Yizhimei had fought in the streets, and in this kind of hide-and-hide battle, she was really playing a killing game.
"Okay, you follow me, don't get lost again!" Xiao Linghu said.
"Got it!" At this time, Yizhimei rarely didn't talk back to him, and she was so obedient.
The two men felt the root of the wall and sneaked into the center of the street, already far away from the large army of the first battalion.
This town, like all the towns in the Jiangnan Water Town, used to be the most lively place along the river, but with the construction of the road, the center point of the town moved north to the intersection of the two roads. All the houses were built along both sides of the two roads, and most of them were shops.
Compared with the surrounding towns, Luodian is still a relatively large town, because it is a highway hub, so there are many people gathered, and there are thousands of households connected between the old town and the new town.
The road was ten meters wide, and in the wilderness it seemed wide, but when it passed through the town, it became a street with high and low houses and shops on both sides, and it seemed to be only slightly wider than the village road.
Soon, Xiao Linghu touched the side of the street, and listened to the sudden sound of the fight in the center of the street, and from time to time there was a certain company of the first battalion, which was organizing to fight back over there, but it was just a ping-pong fight, only to feel that the bullets were whistling back and forth on the street, whistling, but they didn't know what they were fighting? Did you see the figure of the other party?
Finally I saw the fortifications in the middle of the street, and it turned out that these devils were stacked in a circle with sandbags in the middle of the street, and their machine guns were mounted on the sandbags, and they were shooting indiscriminately towards the south.
"Damn it, these devils, they're so arrogant!" Yizhimei let out a curse behind Xiao Linghu: "This fight is over!" ”
Xiao Linghu shook his head, the machine gunners of the devil are still very particular about saving bullets, when they fire, they all use point shooting, which sounds like "Papapa!" Bang Bang Bang! "It rang out very regularly, with a pause in between.
And if the ** side suppresses the firepower, it will definitely be "popping and ......" together.
Xiao Linghu was eyeing the distance they had reached the machine gun position at this time, only thirty meters away, and at this distance, they didn't need to use grenadiers, maybe a grenade could be solved.
