Chapter Ninety-Six: The Human Shield
'Da Da Da ......'
The Makqin heavy machine gun was roaring wildly, and the bullets could no longer be described as a unit of ten, and pieces of heavy machine gun bullets, pieces of rifle bullets, were frantically pouring down on the other side.
After purchasing a batch of munitions, Wang Sirui has no shortage of weapons and ammunition here for the time being, so now, they can use bullets to avoid their own casualties as much as possible.
'Bang! ’
A soldier who was trying to charge was patronized by several heavy machine gun bullets without warning, and the soldier's chest was instantly beaten into a piece of flesh, and his body fell to the ground, unconscious.
Captain Michael, the British company commander hiding in an alley, saw this scene in front of his eyes, and he couldn't believe that it could be caused by those monkeys from the Far East.
"Fack, how can they have such firepower?" Michael looked at the soldiers who fell to the ground and couldn't help but scold, but he also knew very well in his heart that they must not continue, otherwise they would fail miserably.
"Danny, keep this place, if they don't attack rashly, you don't show your head for the time being, and I'll talk about it when I come back." Michael instructed his lieutenant that the battle had exceeded their expectations.
Michael had to report back to the top of the battlefield, and they had to make a change.
"Wiese, come with me!" After Danny nodded, Michael called out the name of a soldier and quietly stepped back.

"Your Excellency Major, we can't go on like this. The enemy's fire is fierce, our soldiers have been completely suppressed, and we must find a way, otherwise we will be even more passive. Michael ran to the makeshift camp two streets away from him, and said anxiously.
Michael's company was mainly responsible for the second charge, that is, after the first wave of troops rushed forward, they followed closely to replenish the sword. Or when the first wave of troops failed to charge, they followed.
But the situation on the battlefield exceeded everyone's expectations, no one expected that the opponent's firepower was so fierce, and the two heavy machine guns on the city wall blocked all their routes of diving or retreating from a height, so that all the soldiers below fell into a dilemma.
The first wave of troops was in a dilemma, and the second wave had to stop its original plan.
And there were two heavy machine guns under the walls, and they were mainly to prevent the enemy troops from approaching the walls. Although the British had tried many things, even using heavy machine guns, they were still unable to get closer to the city wall for 300 meters.
"Fake, it must be him, I didn't expect him to have so many troops." Major Bert angrily threw his command to the ground.
"Your Excellency, are you talking about him?" Michael's face changed suddenly, and he said in disbelief.
"Who else but him can push us to this point? But I'm curious, where did he get all this equipment? Although Bert was angry, he always maintained a shred of sanity in his heart.
Judging from the strength shown by the two sides so far, Wang Sirui's heavy firepower in his hands is obviously much more than that of the coalition forces.
So far, the coalition forces have been almost suppressed by heavy firepower, and rifles can only play a slight role.
"Order the troops, suspend the attack, and as long as the enemy does not attack, we will maintain the status quo." Bert thought about it for a moment, and finally ordered.
Immediately, Bert turned around and picked up a pen, quickly wrote a line on the paper, and handed it to his messenger, "Give him to Your Excellency the Commander." ”
…………
On the city wall, as the sky gradually brightened, the entire capital instantly appeared in the eyes of everyone.
Some of them are not coming to the capital for the first time, but there is no doubt that this is the most special one.
Suddenly, there was a loud cheer up and down the city walls, a kind of excitement from the depths of the heart.
It is located in the former camp of the outer city, only a few hundred meters away from Zhengyangmen.
At this time, Wang Sirui's brigade headquarters was temporarily placed here.
"Retreat, retreat, foreign soldiers retreat!" Wu Zixuan's face was black, but he couldn't hide his excitement at all, and quickly ran into the front camp, shouting loudly, not caring about the identity of the regiment commander at all.
After a night of fighting, they finally took the entire outer city once and for all. In the end, before dawn, all but one of the three battalions of the 2nd Regiment were sent to the various city gates to strengthen the defenses to prevent the coalition forces in the inner city from taking advantage of the chaos to counterattack.
In fact, last night's battle, the hardest and most difficult to fight, was the initial stage, and in the back, the battle was won almost without fighting.
The coalition forces stationed in the outer city saw that the tide was turning, and they could not even get out of the city, and after seeing that they did not massacre their prisoners, most of them chose to surrender.
Therefore, in the battle in the outer city last night, they only killed less than 500 coalition troops, and there were more than 800 wounded and more than 800 prisoners.
And according to the accounts of the captives, they still had about 2,500 troops in the inner city. Most of the wealth they looted was housed in the barracks of the inner city.
"They are only a temporary truce, what is there to be happy about?" Wang Sirui couldn't help frowning and reprimanded.
"Brigade commander, this is a head-to-head confrontation, in less than an hour, we have killed at least three hundred enemies, which is more than half of last night's victory." Even after being reprimanded, Wu Zixuan still couldn't hide the excitement in his heart.
If the two sides can maintain the status quo, at the latest tomorrow, Wang Sirui will dare to attack the inner city in an all-out way. Because in one day, they were able to make the coalition lose at least a thousand troops.
But it is clear that ideas can only be ideas after all.
Wang Sirui glanced at Wu Zixuan thoughtfully, and said slowly: "The coalition forces have stopped attacking, which means that they have discovered that in the current way, it is impossible to break through our defenses. Heavy machine guns are our biggest reliance, and as for the artillery on the city walls, it is completely an ornament. If they had brought in artillery to knock out our heavy machine guns, would the battle have been so easy? ”
'Click......'
Wu Zixuan's heart was suddenly stunned, damn, why did you forget this stubble? Their firepower is very strong, and that's true.
But if those foreign soldiers brought in artillery, wouldn't their side only be beaten passively?
As for the artillery on the city wall, I'm sorry, in order to ensure the safety of the palace, there are not many artillery in the capital. The only artillery pieces were fixed to the city walls, and their muzzles could never be aimed at the outside of the city, even to the walls of the same level.
"This ......"
"Forgot the trick we used before? Although this trick is despicable and shameless, it depends on who it is used for. Wang Sirui reminded.
"Yes, Brigadier Commander, I'll arrange it." Wu Zixuan answered, and quickly left the former barracks.
After Wu Zixuan left, Wang Sirui also thought for a long time, and finally wrote a secret letter and handed it to a confidant beside him.
