Chapter 484: Breaking through the city walls

So, a fierce siege battle began in Beiping City, where the four city gates sounded... Back at the east gate where the Fourth Regiment was located, in the entire trench, more than 40 light and heavy machine guns were lined up in the order of the regiment commander Xu Ying. Facing the city wall, the little devils who were holding on to the city highlighted dense tongues of fire.

At the same time, three tanks, with a loud roar, drove out of position. However, to everyone's surprise, behind the tank, not a single infantry appeared. And Xu Ying, the commander of the Fourth Regiment, did this with a very clear purpose, that is, relying on the thick armor on the tank, a large number of explosives and demomen were safely sent to the city gate. In the city gate hole, put explosives, and then, use the method of blasting to destroy the entire city gate tower... Of course, after the fierce shelling just now, the remaining 500 little devils on the city wall did not know about this plan. Seeing the three tanks that were rapidly advancing towards the city wall, all the firepower that could be concentrated on the city wall was concentrated on the three tanks. For a while, the armor of the three tanks was hit by a flurry of bullets..."Rumble..."However, after losing the heavy fire cover of the battle defense artillery squad. Although the army on the city wall, under the suppression of the dense fire of the four regiments outside the city, carried out desperate shooting. However, against three fast-moving tanks, it did not work ... In less than a few minutes, three tanks spitting black smoke entered the city wall in the dense rain of bullets fired by the Japanese army, and the defenders' grenades were thrown within range... In the dense sound of grenade explosions, the three tanks, with the help of the cover of gunpowder smoke generated by the grenade explosion, flexibly avoided the explosive bags that the Japanese army kept throwing, and quickly advanced towards the city gate... Finally, after paying the price of one tank being destroyed, the remaining two tanks successfully drove into the city gate hole..."Quick, immediately carry the explosives, you two, in this position, immediately dig a big hole, ready to plant the explosives, blow up his dog's little devils, let them taste the taste of riding a dirt plane..."The two tanks that got into the city gate hole stopped steadily in front of the sandbags piled up by the Japanese army. Then, the hatch of the tank was quickly opened, and several sapper soldiers, holding a sapper shovel, quickly drilled out the two tanks.

Under the command of a commander, two sapper soldiers, holding sapper shovels, quickly came to the city gate hole full of sandbags, and began to pull bags of sandbags full of dirt out of the city gate hole. In less than a few minutes, a huge hole appeared in front of the two tanks.

"Quick, prepare to load explosives, and put all the explosives you brought into me..." Looking at the hollowed out hole in front of him, it was enough to fill nearly a thousand catties of explosives. The commander, who had just given the order, ordered again. Suddenly, packets of explosives began to be handed out from the open hatches of the two tanks.

It turned out that in order to allow three tanks, it was possible to load more explosives. Three tanks, almost all the tank guns in the cabin were moved, and more room was given to bags of explosives. In this way, in the cramped cabin, except for the positions of a few fighters, as long as there was a place where explosives could be stored, bags of explosives were piled up. Three tanks, almost every tank, were filled with a full five hundred pounds of explosives... Under the rapid handling of several soldiers, in less than a few minutes, the explosives in the two tanks, totaling nearly 1,000 catties, were neatly piled up in the hole by several engineer soldiers. Immediately, a one-meter-long lead was pulled out..."All get on the car, start the tank, and prepare to retreat." When the time comes, don't drop the chain for me. This explosion, if we can't exit the city gate hole in another fifteen seconds, we will be buried alive in the city gate hole, and the little devil will be buried with us..."took out a box of matches and looked at the lead in front of him, which was more than a meter long. The commander commanded several soldiers beside him with a serious face..."Boom..."Several engineer soldiers quickly turned into the tank. At the same time, the two tanks also sounded the roar of the engines, ready to reverse..."Snort..."The sound of a match crossing the box sounded, and a match was immediately slashed by the commander..."Squeak..."In just one second, the one-meter-long lead was ignited by the commander, and bursts of flickering sparks appeared, and quickly burned towards the end of the lead. Seeing the ignited lead, the commander did not hesitate, quickly rushed to the tank that was reversing, got into the tank cabin, and closed the hatch tightly... With a huge roar, two tanks, on the city wall, the little devil quickly exited the city gate hole in his eyes. Ignoring the grenades and explosives bags that the army kept throwing, they quickly retreated to the rear. Strive to retreat from a farther distance in the city gate cave before nearly a thousand catties of explosives explode..."It seems that Company Commander Wang and they have succeeded. Ordered all units to prepare for an attack, and as soon as the city gate was blown up, the whole regiment would immediately attack, starting with me, and do everything possible to expand the breakthrough. Correspondent, as soon as the city gate is broken through by our troops, you will immediately send a telegram to the commander, requesting the commander to send a reserve to reinforce our department. "I saw the two tanks that successfully exited the city gate hole. Regiment Commander Xu Ying's tense nerves finally relaxed, and he ordered loudly to several battalion commanders around him.

"Third battalion, get ready to charge. All the machine gunners moved forward and lined up for the first wave of attack..."Immediately, the orders of the battalion and company commanders of all levels sounded in the trenches. Dozens of machine gunners, armed with a loaded crooked handle, stood at the forefront of the forward battalion, ready to serve as death squads for the entire attacking force... As the troops quickly entered their offensive positions and prepared to charge, the regiment commander Xu Ying nodded with satisfaction. Then, a pair of eyes just stared at the gate of Beiping City, five hundred meters away. At this moment, the two tanks, with their fastest retreat speed, had successfully retreated beyond the range of the army's grenades. As long as there are no accidents, there will not be much impact during the explosion of explosives.

At this moment, a cloud of white light flashed out quickly from the dark city gate hole. Immediately after, there was an explosion that shook the ground, and it reached the battlefield, and everyone's ears ... Even the entire earth trembled because of the explosion just now. In just a moment, the city gate, which had just flashed a white light, was already enveloped by a fireball rising into the air. Immediately, it was completely enveloped by the smoke and dust rising dozens of meters high... And on their own position, more than 1,000 commanders and fighters are all looking at the shocking scene in front of them with their mouths open, dumbfounded... However, Xu Ying, as the head of the regiment, still reacted from the shock in the shortest possible time. Prick up his ears, except for the aftermath of the explosion just now, which is still reverberating in his ears. The sound of gunfire that was still dense just now has all died down at this moment..."The trumpeter, immediately blow the trumpet of the charge, and everyone is ready to charge. Fight into Beiping City and capture Tada Jun alive..."Seeing the best opportunity to attack in front of him, Xu Ying certainly won't let it go. With a loud roar, more than a dozen commanders behind him woke up from the shock just now, and at the same time, he commanded loudly to the more than 1,000 commanders and fighters in front of him.

"Tick tock... Tick-tock..."A loud trumpet began to echo outside the east gate. More than a thousand warriors who were ready to go immediately raised their weapons in their hands. Suddenly, a burst of sword light flashed, and on the position of the four regiments, a bright bayonet quickly formed a triangular knife formation.

"Rush into Beiping City and capture Tada Jun alive..."A roar that shook the sky, followed by this charging horn, sounded on the position of the four regiments outside the North Gate City. More than a thousand soldiers, waving weapons in their hands, shouted loudly under the leadership of commanders at all levels. Immediately, dozens of machine gunners standing at the forefront of the entire charging queue pulled the trigger of the machine gun in their hands against the city gate that was in front of them and was completely covered in billowing smoke and dust. And just behind the dozens of machine gunners, more than a thousand soldiers, all of whom held rifles with bayonets already loaded in their hands, followed the machine gunners without saying a word and rushed towards the city gate.

Although, the whole process of charging was completely without the roar of the soldiers before the charge. However, from the angry eyes of the soldiers, it can be seen that the murderous aura on everyone's faces can be seen, and the strong murderous aura of the entire army can be seen. The distance of five hundred meters only takes a blink of an eye for these warriors who have already put their hearts in the city.

Just as more than a thousand soldiers charged to the city gate, billowing smoke and dust slowly fell down. At this moment, a section of the city wall, which is almost more than 20 meters long, with the city gate as the center, has been completely blown into ruins. The city wall, which was still majestic just now, has turned into a mound of earth several meters high with a violent explosion just now... As for the devil soldiers on this section of the city wall, it is no surprise that they are all buried in the ruins. The devil soldiers who were blown open in two sections of the gap, and those who were close to the gap had already been shocked to death by the huge shock wave generated by the explosion of explosives. As for the soldiers who were far away, they were also stunned by the explosion just now, and they had not yet reacted from the shock.

"Comrades, kill me with me, rush into Beiping City, and capture Tada Jun alive..." The commander of the third battalion, who was at the forefront, did not hesitate, roared, and led the entire third battalion, and the remaining more than 300 fighters, to climb the gap that was blown into a mound... Immediately after, the remaining troops of the entire fourth regiment and a main battalion that had been reinforced, without any hesitation, immediately rushed forward ....

"The three battalions and the first battalion continue to attack, build temporary positions, and must hold the breakthrough to prevent a possible counterattack by the army. The second battalion of the fifth regiment, divided into two, cleared the remaining army on the city wall, expanded the breakthrough, and waited for reinforcements to arrive. Following the troops, I came to Xu Ying, the head of the regiment, and saw the breakthrough that was finally opened. Think about the losses caused to the troops in the first round of the offensive because of their frustration. The regiment commander Xu Ying immediately stopped the commander of the third battalion who wanted to order the troops to continue the attack because of his hot head. Instead, against the troops, an order was given to defend on the spot and wait for the arrival of the main forces.

Immediately, the entire Fourth Regiment and the remaining few years of soldiers began to quickly build a blocking position around a huge gap of more than 20 meters. The heavy machine gun company that followed the troops also quickly placed a heavy machine gun emitting blue light on the position. More than 400 soldiers of the second battalion of the fifth regiment were divided into two, and under the cover of a large number of light machine guns, they climbed the city wall more than ten meters high from a huge gap, and began to clean up the city wall.

More than 400 soldiers of the 2nd Battalion of the 5th Regiment attacked like an autumn wind sweeping away leaves. On the entire East Gate city wall, more than 200 little devils who were still able to continue fighting were all wiped out after only holding out for less than ten minutes. Until this moment, the entire east gate was completely occupied by the four regiments, and the breakthrough of the Reading Division to Beiping City was also opened.

However, is the army really willing to be broken through the East Gate like this, the answer is no. Just on the city walls, the last little devil fell under the bayonets of the warriors. The two infantry squadrons responsible for reinforcing the East Gate, five hundred little devils, have come to the place where the East Gate occupied by the fighters is less than five hundred meters away ....

Just when the figures of more than 500 soldiers appeared in the eyes of the soldiers, the 500 little devils also discovered the soldiers who were building a temporary blocking position on the gap that was blown up. Seeing the soldiers who had not yet gained a firm foothold on the city wall, these devil soldiers who had received the commander's order to defend the city gate immediately thought that they had a chance... More than 500 little devils, under the cover of light and heavy machine guns and grenadiers, were divided into several offensive echelons of nearly 100 troops. Prepare to launch a swift assault on the soldiers who have just occupied the gap and are seizing the time to build a position, preparing to drive the soldiers out of Beiping City. With a dense burst of bullets from inside the city, it reached the gap. Nearly 100 devil soldiers, holding rifles in their hands, launched the first round of charge.

More than a hundred little devils, under the cover of light and heavy machine guns, let out bursts of roars and rushed towards the gap with great momentum. However, in the face of the charge of the Yue army, these battle-hardened soldiers did not have any panic. Instead, he lay motionless on top of the mound, loaded with bullets, waiting for the regiment commander Xu Ying to give the order to fire.

"Comrades, hold on. Put the little devil closer before firing, you have to be steady, without my order, don't shoot in advance to expose the target..."Looking at the devil soldiers who are getting closer and closer to the position. Regiment commander Xu Ying, on the temporary position, shuttled back and forth to give orders..."Fire..."The soldiers lying on the ground could clearly see the hideous faces of the little devils. Nearly 100 soldiers in front of him, thinking that victory was in their hands, completely showed their entire bodies under the guns of the soldiers, and accelerated the speed of the charge. The regiment commander, Xu Ying, decisively gave the order to open fire. At the same time, the bullets in the barge gun in his hand were all shot in front of him, and the platoon was densely packed, and there were only devil soldiers less than fifty meters away from the position... In front of the little devil, more than 20 light and heavy machine guns spewed out hot tongues of fire at the same time. More than 20 tongues of fire, on the street less than ten meters wide, instantly weaved an impermeable bullet net. More than 100 devil soldiers who were charging quickly, and dozens of devils in the front row, were all beaten into a hornet's nest and fell in a pool of blood in just a few seconds under the dense rain of bullets... In the narrow streets, although the ghost soldiers in the front row, in the dense rain of bullets, they were knocked to the ground in pieces. However, the devil soldiers in the rear did not know the specific situation in front, and under the habit of charging quickly, the soldiers in the back still kept pushing and shoving their comrades in front of them, and crashed into the dense bullet rain of the Eighth Route Army. It wasn't until he was beaten into a hornet's nest by the rain of bullets that he realized that in such a dense rain of bullets, his troops could not rush to the 50-meter limit in front of him... In less than half a minute, more than 100 soldiers were killed and fell in a pool of blood under the frantic fire of dozens of light and heavy machine guns. And the fourth regiment in charge of defense, because in half a minute, the little devil in charge of the charge, before he could react from the shock, turned into a corpse, and did not pay any price at all..."Baga, how is it possible. Charge, the troops continue to charge me, we must rush to the city wall and drive the Eighth Route Army out of Beiping City, otherwise, we will all die and die...."Seeing the moment of time, under the blow of the Eighth Route Army, more than 100 soldiers were wiped out by the whole army. The captain who was in charge of leading the team couldn't help but have red eyes and an angry face. However, before leaving, the commander General Tada Jun gave him the order to defend the city gate. The captain was annoyed, roared loudly at several officers around him, and gave the order to continue the charge... Immediately, the sound of gunfire, the screams of the soldiers, and the shouts of the officers rang out around the opening of the east gate. Groups of devil soldiers, under the cover and drive of light and heavy machine guns behind them, carried their own weapons and launched wave after wave of desperate charges against the positions of the four regiments, which can almost be called impregnable and impassable in front of them...
