The commander of the Japanese division suddenly found himself in a dilemma. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ｂｉｑUｇE。 ｉｎｆｏ

Immediately withdraw the heavy machine gun squadron, the heavy machine gun was saved. However, two squadrons of heavy machine guns are likely to be wiped out.

If the heavy machine gun squadron is not withdrawn, the heavy machine gun squadron will definitely suffer heavy losses, or even be completely annihilated.

However, the division commander finally decided to continue fighting, and the heavy machine guns continued to provide fire cover for the attacking troops against the constant shells fired by the defenders.

You must know that the attacking troops of your two squadrons have already rushed to the foot of the city wall, and as long as they hold on for a little longer, they can rush into the city gate hole, blow up the city gate, and rush into Liaoyang City.

The commander of the Japanese division did not want to let go of this opportunity, even though this opportunity might cause him to lose dozens of heavy machine guns, and after some hesitation, the division commander decided to take a gamble.

The first round of artillery fire after the end of the "boom boom boom ......" artillery test firing was covered, and the twelve shells, as if they had eyes, mostly fell on the Japanese heavy machine gun positions.

After the shell exploded, three heavy machine guns and more than a dozen devil heavy machine gunners were instantly drowned in artillery fire.

The artillery coverage of the Japanese heavy machine gun positions continued, and heavy machine guns were constantly destroyed.

However, the remaining heavy machine guns of the Japanese army continued to fire bullets at the city.

The Japanese who launched the attack must have known that the heavy machine gun squadron behind them was risking being covered by artillery fire to provide fire cover for themselves.

From the moment the artillery fire began to cover, hundreds of Japanese troops invisibly accelerated their own attack.

Soon, these Japanese troops rushed to a position less than thirty meters from the city wall.

When they rushed to the gate with their rifles in their hands and screaming, thinking that victory was within reach.

An accident happened, and the head of the city, which had not made any movement just now, suddenly flew out densely packed with hundreds of grenades.

The grenade exploded, and the hundreds of Japanese soldiers who rushed in front were blown to the ground before they could react.

The Japanese troops in the back, because they could not dodge in time, rushed straight into the grenade explosion zone.

At this time, the second round of hundreds of grenades came to their heads again, the grenades exploded, and more than 100 Japanese troops were bombed.

"Retreat, retreat immediately......" The Japanese squadron leader and squad leader who led the team ordered loudly while his face changed greatly.

There were less than 200 Japanese troops left, and even if they didn't hear the order, they knew that if they continued to rush forward, they would be sent to death.

So, these Japanese soldiers lay on the ground one after another, holding rifles and shooting at the city.

"Grenades, grenades again, how did I forget that the Liaodong Army has been equipped with a sharp weapon for defending the city......" The commander of the Japanese division who was watching the battle behind him exclaimed loudly after watching all this with a stunned face.

"Division commander, the defenders are armed with artillery, and grenades. Without the artillery support of the artillery wing, we simply could not rush in. Retreat, if you don't retreat, both the heavy machine-gun squadron and the attacking troops will suffer heavy losses. The chief of staff, who was also dumbfounded, hurriedly reminded.

Seeing the heavy machine gun squadron that had already lost more than half of it a few hundred meters away, the division commander, who knew that he could not do anything, ordered without thinking about it: "Retreat, cover with heavy machine guns, the infantry will immediately retreat, and then continue the attack when the artillery comes." ”

After losing more than half of the heavy machine gun squadron of the Japanese army, in terms of numbers, it was no match for the defenders of the city. Coupled with the fact that the defenders were condescending and had battlements for cover, the defenders could have shot back long ago.

But in order to reduce the casualties of the troops, the defenders did not shoot, but handed over the enemy to the artillerymen and let the artillery kill and wound them as much as possible, anyway, the Japanese had not retreated, and it was nothing to shoot when they retreated.

Therefore, before the Japanese retreated, the defenders of the city had only one task, to watch the artillery show.

Of course, if the Japanese rushed to the foot of the city walls, then you were welcome and greeted directly with grenades. Anyway, you don't need to look up to throw a grenade, you can squat behind the battlements and throw it, and it's also a throw.

Now that the Japanese army is about to retreat, they have long regarded the Japanese troops outside the city as the defenders of the city with fat in their mouths, and of course they will not watch them slip away.

As soon as the Japanese army moved, the order sounded at the head of the city: "All the heavy machine guns are fired, suppress the fire of the Japanese heavy machine guns." Light machine guns and riflemen, destroy the Japanese infantry outside the city, and not let a single Japanese soldier slip from our guns. ”

Immediately, the city was enveloped in a dense burst of gunfire. The Japanese troops outside the city, who had just risen from the ground, had just retreated less than ten steps when a dense barrage of bullets enveloped them.

There were even a lot of Japanese soldiers who had just turned around, and the bullets hit a few bloody holes in their backs.

With anger and unwillingness, he fled for his life.

"It's over, the attacking force is over......" In the face of the endless strike methods of the Liaodong Army, the commander of the Japanese division seemed to have become numb, and muttered to himself with a stunned face, and there was no reaction for a long time.

The chief of staff on the side was also dumbfounded, but the reaction speed was very fast.

As soon as the defenders at the head of the city opened fire, they reminded the division commanders around them: "The infantry can't retreat, so first keep the heavy machine gun squadron." ”

The second update is delivered, welcome to subscribe! Collect and subscribe!

The division commander with his mouth open suddenly reacted and ordered loudly: "Yes, order the heavy machine gun squadron to retreat immediately." Wait for the artillery wing to come and then attack, go and give orders! ”

In the end, only five of the more than two dozen heavy machine guns retreated, and as for the two infantry squadrons, none of them retreated.

The Japanese troops in the other three directions were not much better either.

Except for one wing, which saw the opportunity quickly, the Liaodong Army ordered the troops to retreat as soon as the artillery was fired. The other two wings lost two infantry squadrons and almost two heavy machine-gun squadrons.

After getting the news, the division commander directly had a feeling of wanting to cry without tears.

He didn't even touch the city gates, and he didn't even kill or wound a few of the defenders, and he lost nearly 2,000 infantry in two infantry brigades.

The most heart-wrenching thing for the division commander was not the infantry.

Of the more than 200 heavy machine guns equipped with the whole division, more than 60 were lost in the attack in front of them.

At this rate of loss, the troops have not yet entered Liaoyang City, and the heavy machine guns will be lost.

If you lose your heavy machine guns, the combat effectiveness of your own division will definitely be greatly reduced, and the division commander knows this very well.

Therefore, as soon as the division commander heard the loss reports of the various wings, his face was gloomy, and he could not say a word for a long time.

At this moment, the Japanese army's anxiously waiting artillery wing, under the continuous attack of the three brigades of the special operations detachment, was advancing towards Liaoyang City with great difficulty.

In Zhang Shanlin's view, the best way to capture the Japanese artillery wing was to consume a large number of guard units protecting the artillery wing on the march.

Therefore, as soon as Zhang Shanlin received the task, he quickly ordered the special operations detachment to attack the two artillery wings all the way.

......Another burst of gunfire rang out on a hill 200 meters away, and three heavy machine guns fired three shots at the official road, quickly striking three holes in the ranks of the Japanese marching troops.

Dozens of Japanese soldiers were beaten into a hornet's nest before they had time to react.

In the face of this uninterrupted sneak attack, an infantry brigade of the Japanese army, which protected the artillery, reacted quickly.

The nearest four heavy machine guns were immediately set up and fired at the top of the hill.

At the same time, one or two squads of Japanese troops quickly left the official road and outflanked the mountain. (To be continued.) )
