Chapter 42: The City Breaks

As soon as he took the two nest heads, he and Shi Qiang squatted under the city wall and took two bites, when they heard a shout from the city wall: "The devils have begun to attack, the devils have begun to attack." ”

Suddenly, there were hurried shouts and footsteps in the entire east gate city wall. Liu Tianshu's face changed, he stuffed his wowotou into his stomach a few times, said to Shi Qiang to go, and the two hurriedly ran towards the squadron where they were.

At this time, Yan Guoye had taken over the command of the defense of the east gate, and it turned out that when the two sides were truce and had lunch, Qi Fuyou received a report that Japanese troops had been found outside the west city.

At the beginning, considering that the West Gate was a mountain, and if the little devil wanted to choose to attack from there, he had to take a long detour, so he just put a platoon of troops, and at this time the Japanese army was found outside the city, indicating that the little devil had implemented a comprehensive encirclement of Liugu County, and Qi Fuyou had to transfer the remaining strength of Qi Jiaqiang's second battalion to the West Gate for defense.

The defense of the east gate was handed over to the temporarily formed National Salvation Self-Defense Force, which was commanded by Yan Guoye, the deputy captain.

Liu Tianshu whispered a few words with a few team members, and saw Tan Liu and Liu Jianguang walking back with calm faces.

"Everybody, come here, I'll talk about the mission." Tan Liu made a move and called the members of their squadron together.

"Brothers, you know the situation even if you don't say it, and I won't say anything more. Captain Yan asked our squadron to guard the city gates. Prevent devils from breaking in. Come with me and hurry up and reinforce the fortifications. After speaking, Tan Liu took the thirty-odd people behind the city gate, pointed to a few temporary fortifications that were originally in charge of the security team.

These temporary fortifications are all made of sandbags, forming a semi-encirclement of the city gate in a triangular shape, and the security regiment originally set up a total of three light machine guns here, but after the second battalion withdrew from the east gate to reinforce the west gate, these three light machine guns were also taken away.

Liu Tianshu saw three barricades, and a black line appeared on his forehead.

The three barricades are said to be triangular shapes, but in fact they are arranged in a staggered manner, which looks like a straight line from a distance, while behind the barricades is an open street.

In other words, if the little devil rushes into the city, if he and the others can't stop him and retreat backwards, they will all be exposed to the open ground, so they won't become a live target?

"Second Brother Liu, we can't arrange the fortifications like this." Liu Tianshu walked up to Liu Jianguang and said in a low voice.

"Why not? That's how the security corps is arranged. What's your best way to do it? Liu Jianguang asked puzzled.

After coming out with several nurseries of the Liu family, Old Man Liu asked him to listen to Liu Tianshu more, and when he heard his words, he immediately said nervously.

"Second brother, you see that these three barricades are almost a straight line, if the little devil rushes into the city gate, it will not be able to form a crossfire at all. Besides, if the little devils really attacked the city, we wouldn't be able to resist it with the dozens of us who had never been on the battlefield, but when we retreated, there were empty streets. Without cover, how can we escape from the pursuit of the little devils, or you suggest to Captain Tan that we change the fortifications slightly, and in addition, build a few more lines of defense on the street. Liu Tianshu pondered for a moment and said.

Liu Jianguang heard him say this, and said without thinking: "Okay, I'll talk to Captain Tan, and I'll do as you say." ”

Liu Jianguang turned around and left, and Liu Tianshu immediately stopped him, "By the way, let Captain Tan find Captain Yan to see if he can ask for two machine guns, plus grenades, and try to order as many as possible." ”

After Liu Jianguang passed, Liu Tianshu called Shi Qiang and a few brothers and began to rearrange the barricades according to his plan.

At this time, the whistling of cannonballs sounded in the sky again, followed by explosions on the city walls and in the surrounding streets.

Liu Tianshu and Shi Qiang carried a sandbag, and while stepping up the arrangement, they said to Shi Qiang: "Qiangzi, don't be afraid, although this cannonball looks scary, as long as you pay attention to the sound of the cannonball in the air, you will be fine." You must remember that if the sound of the cannonball sounds sharp and long, it means that the landing point is far away from you, and you don't need to worry about it, if the sound is low and short, it is a popping sound, you must lie down for the shortest time, because the cannonball will fall around you. ”

When Shi Qiang heard him say this, he nodded solemnly.

At this time, there was no sound of cannonballs flying by with a long whistling sound in the air, and many team members and the young men who cooperated with them in arranging the fortifications were so frightened that they shrank into a ball.

However, when some team members saw that Liu Tianshu and Shi Qiang seemed to be not afraid at all, they also had the courage to help with the arrangement.

After a while, Liu Jianguang also ran over, and he shouted at those team members, urging everyone to repair the fortifications according to Liu Tianshu's plan. When Tan Liu ran back with a light machine gun, Liu Tianshu took those team members and Qingzhuang to build three lines of defense on that street, during which he also used the channel to connect with ingenuity.

Tan Liu saw that the city wall of the East Gate had changed in a short period of time, and couldn't help but glance at Liu Tianshu curiously, and then said: "Liu Tianshu, the captain gave a machine gun and five boxes of grenades, everyone can use grenades, but there are few machine guns that can hit." ”

"It's okay, Captain Tan, just give me the machine gun, and let Qiangzi help me get the bullets." Liu Tianshu nodded and said.

"Okay, Liu Tianshu, it seems that you know a lot, otherwise, this battle will be commanded by you, and Jianguang and I will also listen to you." Tan Liu said suddenly.

Tan Liu, as the captain of Old Man Jiang's guard, is still very confident in kung fu and marksmanship, but it is one thing to command a war, and these people are all temporarily organized, and it is not easy to command properly.

"I can reluctantly embarrass this, I'm afraid that my brothers will have opinions." Liu Tianshu was not polite, and directly said the worry in his heart.

At this time, a dense burst of gunfire had sounded on the city wall, and it seemed that the little devils had attacked the city.

"You don't have to worry about this, just leave it to me and Jianguang." Tan Liuda slapped his hand and said dryly.

"Okay, in this way, captain, you take six people to guard the fortification, Second Brother Liu, you take six people to guard the fortification on the left, Shi Qiang and I add six brothers to guard the fortification in the middle, and the rest of the brothers are divided into two groups and guard in the back two fortifications to prepare to respond. Then pay attention to my gesture, and when I make this gesture, everyone immediately retreats along the passage to the second line of defense. Liu Tianshu thought about the direct arrangement, and at the same time compared a few simple gestures.

"Did you hear me?" Tan Liuyi held a pistol in his hand and shouted loudly.

"Hear me." The team members yelled with red faces.

"Immediately do as Brother Liu instructs. Let's go! With a wave of his hand, Tan Liuda immediately led six people into the barricade fortification on the right, Liu Jianguang also ran into the fortification on the left with a few people from the Liu family, and the rest of the people were brought to the two lines of defense behind by two people who were temporarily in charge, and at the same time, the grenades were quickly placed in their respective positions.

As for those young men, Liu Tianshu arranged them on the side of the third line of defense, and let them prepare with big knives and the like.

However, he didn't have too high hopes for these young people.

Liu Tianshu and Shi Qiang, who were holding a few magazines, had just run to the middle barricade and lay down, when they saw two explosions on the city gate, and then stones rolled down from the city gate, and at the same time, there were two self-defense team members.

At the same time, many injured Self-Defense Forces were quickly carried off the city wall by the young man and ran towards the city.

Liu Tianshu inspected the machine gun while staring at the city wall.

At this time, defending the east gate were more than 200 people of the self-defense brigade led by Yan Guoye, and more than 20 surviving brothers of his first battalion, all of whom were temporarily appointed as squad and platoon leaders, and took those temporary team members to shoot desperately at the city.

It is a pity that most of these self-defense forces are good at fighting alone, but this time on the battlefield, due to the lack of effective cooperation, they soon fell into a situation of fighting on their own.

There were many team members, seeing the little devil rushing closer and closer, fighting on a whim, standing under the city wall and constantly firing at the city, and finally were beaten and died heroically by the little devil.

Yan Guoye saw that in less than an hour, more than half of the self-defense team members were killed and wounded, and the little devil was gradually approaching the city gate, he was in a hurry, grabbed a light machine gun, and fired fiercely at the devil who rushed towards the city gate, a string of bullets spit out, and the four devil soldiers were beaten backwards and fell, however, he fired this time, immediately attracted the attention of the devil, the devil 92 heavy machine gunner immediately turned the muzzle of the gun, and fired fiercely at his position, the scorching bullet chain swam towards the city wall like a poisonous snake, Yan Guoye didn't have time to dodge, several bullets hit the chest, A few blood arrows splashed, and his body immediately shook two, and his eyes were wide and he slowly fell.

"Battalion commander!" Seeing Yan Guoye's heroic sacrifice, Seinfeld shouted angrily, pounced on him, and hugged his superior, but it was a pity that Yan Guoye's eyes gradually lost their brilliance.

Seinfeld burst into tears, and after a while, he put Yan Guoye down, and saw a few grenades on the side, grabbed them, lifted the lid and pulled them, and then threw them towards the city, and with a few explosions, several devil soldiers were blown up into the air.

However, the team members guarding the city wall saw that the deputy captain Yan Guoye had been martyred, and they suddenly became timid, and a few of them quietly moved to the stairs while firing their guns.

When Seinfeld turned around, he saw that many of the team members had quietly slipped away.

Seinfeld was furious, and as soon as he shouted to stop, he heard a violent explosion at the city gate, which was blown up by the little devils.

Hearing that the city gate was broken by little devils, the self-defense members guarding the city wall dared to stay any longer, and ran towards the city in a swarm.

At this time, Liu Tianshu, who was guarding the city gate, finally got on fire with the little devil.

Seeing that with an explosion, the heavy city gate was directly blown away, Liu Tianshu knew that the fall of Liugu County was inevitable, he saw that the team guarding the city wall ran down the city one after another, he immediately turned around and squatted down with machine guns in both hands, leaned back against the sandbag and shouted to Shi Qiang and several team members around him who were trembling: "Get ready, as soon as I fire, you will shoot immediately, pay attention not to show too much of your body." ”

As soon as the words fell, I saw more than 20 devil soldiers rushing in from the blown up city gate with the 38 big covers with Xueliang bayonets on them.
