'Smack......'
A bullet dragged a long flaming red afterglow from the inside of the barracks with the blue flag, flying rapidly from east to west, and the bullet plunged headlong into the arm of the soldier who rushed to the front.
In an instant, a huge wound appeared on the left arm of the soldier who was hit by the bullet, and blood sprayed outward uncontrollably.
In the blink of an eye, the soldier's face turned pale.
"Withdraw! Retreat all! Seeing this, Li Chao was suddenly startled in his heart and hurriedly shouted.
And the gunfire on the battlefield was loud, hundreds of rifles were fired one after another, and the sound was enough to drown out anyone's shouting.
"Withdraw! I'll withdraw all of them! Seeing that an order didn't work, Li Chao hurriedly continued to yell loudly, and at the same time ordered the soldiers around him to roar along.
Even so, when the company was all withdrawn, they still paid a lot of price for Li Chao's mistakes.
Of those, one person was killed, two were seriously wounded, and five were slightly wounded.
In just one face-to-face effort, the troops lost eight people, although the losses of the American troops were greater than theirs, but after all, it was under the premise of a sneak attack.
If it was under a face-to-face attack, Li Chao didn't dare to imagine how many casualties they would have.
"******, I didn't expect foreign devils to be so insidious." When the troops withdrew, Li Chao couldn't help but scold.
"What's the situation? How did you withdraw it? Xu Zhiyou, who just wanted to lead the troops to follow a company and rush in from the main gate, hunched over and quietly ran to Li Chao's side and asked.
"There is an ambush on the side of the foreign devils, I didn't expect that we all beat them into such bears, they can still set up an ambush, this time it is my responsibility." Li Chao was a little annoyed.
"What about troop casualties?" The situation in front also surprised Xu Zhiyou, and he did not expect that under the flanking fire of two machine guns, the US army would be able to counterattack in the first time.
"One person was killed, two were seriously wounded, and five were lightly wounded." Li Chao said.
"Shhh...... What the fuck. After hearing the number of casualties, Xu Zhiyou couldn't help but gasp.
After the soldiers who ran in front of the company entered the main gate, it was only less than half a minute for the company to retreat, and in just half a minute, they lost eight people.
Moreover, they were against the US military, which had just been hit hard. With such a comparison of the strength of the enemy and us, and with such casualties, if we look at it this way, the casualties on their side are inevitably a little too great.
You know, from the first shot to the present, most of the enemy troops have fallen under the muzzle of heavy machine guns, and very few enemy troops have actually been wounded by rifles.
And even after they charged, there were basically no enemies who fell under the muzzle of their rifles.
Li Chao quickly woke up from the defeat in the first battle, in fact, he was not a failure, but only temporarily stopped the attack of the troops in order to reduce more casualties.
Looking up at the height difference between the houses in front of him and behind him, Li Chao couldn't help but curse again.
Because the barracks with the blue flag is a military restricted area, even if there are many houses opposite him, according to the regulations, the height of any house cannot exceed the relevant regulations.
And this rule is below the safe height of the nearby military restricted area, in other words, standing on the roof of your house and not being able to see the situation in the barracks, such a house is qualified.
In order to avoid more complaints from the people, the general camps are built relatively tall, so on the surface, the dwellings here are not low.
Standing on the city wall, they can see the situation in the camp, but unfortunately, the west wall belongs to them, but there are ten barracks there to block the view, even if the machine gun is mounted on the west wall, the bullet can only hit the east corner of the wall, from a tactical point of view, the machine gun mount on the west wall is of little use.
On the contrary, the northern wall can see most of the camp, but at the moment the northern wall is still in the hands of foreign soldiers, and it is impossible for them to mount machine guns there.
They even had to avoid the fire on the northern wall as much as possible.
Although a regiment was attacking there, it was unlikely that the foreign soldiers on the city wall would have the energy to take care of it.
"Grass, Lao Xu, it seems that we still have to use your method." Li Chao said helplessly.
Although he didn't want to use Xu Zhiyou's tactic that was very dangerous, the situation forced him to use this tactic that seemed to be very dangerous.
Xu Zhiyou nodded, a little proud in his heart. However, on the surface, it did not show it, and besides, the casualties of a company also reminded him that it was not that they were too weak, but that the enemy was too cunning.
"Lao Xu, you take the second company to turn over from behind, ignore the enemy behind for now, avoid them as much as possible, and then go around to the front and sweep away the enemy troops behind these two walls from the inside. I'll have people still have torches in from the outside, and then we'll become one. Li Chao said.
Although he adopted Xu Zhiyou's tactics, he also made certain changes, and did not follow Xu Zhiyou's original plan.
"Okay, I'll leave you the machine gun, and I'm not going to take that thing with me." Xu Zhiyou nodded, and after leaving a sentence, he turned around and ran towards the second company.
After a while, the machine gun squad of the second company came to Li Chao's side with a machine gun, and with the help of the soldiers of the first company, a new machine gun position was quickly constructed.
With the two machine guns in place, they were able to seal off the barracks gate completely, even if there was no other infantry support here.
Of course, they all overlooked the fact that when facing the Maxim heavy machine gun, the mixed brick and earth wall in the Blue Flag barracks was not as strong as they thought.
With enough ammunition, the Maxim heavy machine gun only needs to shoot in one direction, and it will quickly tear down the wall.
Of course, the premise is that it costs more bullets, and with their current ammunition supply level, they can't afford such a tactic at all.
When Xu Zhiyou took the second company around, the soldiers of the first company also hid again. The barracks with blue flags, where there were loud gunshots before, suddenly became a little silent, a little frightening.
Only the nearby city walls, and the constant gunfire in the city, signaled that war was indeed coming, and what they had heard before was not fantasy.
At the gate of the barracks, the dead, lying motionless on the ground. The wounded, but they are trying their best to return to the barracks, because everyone knows that they continue to lie here, and only death awaits them.
As the blood flowed, they only died in more pain.
In a dark room, two American soldiers were arguing angrily and loudly, but in the end, neither could convince the other, and even had no choice but to end the quarrel without any end.
