Chapter 577: Battle for the Water Tower (1)

Sure enough, the Japanese came, and two groups of Japanese soldiers flashed out from the corners of the houses in the southeast and southwest respectively, and Hao Jinsong stuck his head out from behind the armored car and immediately shouted: "Open fire."

"Bang, bang, bang".

"Da da da ??????".

The soldiers in the fortifications on the left and right sides of the water tower opened fire, and the Japanese soldiers who rushed in from the outside were not idle, they fired at the Chinese soldiers in the fortifications while rushing inside, but they were soon shot and fell to the ground.

The Japanese soldiers rushed quickly, but died even faster, and these Japanese soldiers came from under the eaves of the houses on the street, and they did not dare to run on the street, because the two heavy machine guns on the water tower could block the streets and alleys of the entire area.

The Japanese soldiers who rushed out of the two corners did not have any cover to cover their bodies, they were shot by the Chinese bullets as long as they rushed into the location of the water tower, one died when they rushed in, two died when they rushed in, the more they came, the more they died, the terrain here is very interesting, in fact, only one machine gun and a few rifles can block the entire gap, which is completely a posture that is completely impossible to open.

In just two minutes, more than 20 Japanese soldiers rushed in, but each one died, no one could turn around and escape, the gunfire stopped, because there were no Japanese soldiers rushing in again, but Hao Jinsong knew that there must be a large number of Japanese soldiers hiding under the eaves on the other side of the two corners, and the Japanese knew that if they rushed in again, they would only die in vain, so they no longer attacked blindly.

The air was filled with a strong smell of gunsmoke, mixed with the smell of blood, which was the blood of the Japanese. Hao Jinsong found that he liked the smell of gunpowder mixed with blood very much, and he breathed greedily into this smell. He knows that fighting a war is to kill people, and who knows if he can live to the next second in these years. It's good to be alive, it's good to be able to breathe!

Time gradually passed, this side has quieted down, but the other side of the city has begun to fight, friendly troops have begun to attack there there is a lot of gunfire, the explosion point of the shells loud noise, in each street intersection heard a large number of explosions, that is the Chinese artillery in clearing the Japanese army set up at the street junction set up a hard fortification.

Because the commanding heights had been controlled by the Chinese army, there were no Japanese soldiers on the street who dared to run around casually. Even if there were, they were hiding under the eaves of the street with their backs to the water tower and moving quietly, this is the power of the commanding heights, and now the Chinese army is attacking the first few blocks of this city, and because the commanding heights are controlled by the Chinese army, the Japanese do not dare to send troops over to reinforce at will, because this is easy to be exposed to the fire of the commanding heights machine guns.

The gunfire in the distance became more and more intense, but the city wall in the northeast corner was quiet. There were more than 20 corpses of Japanese soldiers lying in the open space of about ten meters between the two houses, and no Japanese soldiers rushed in from the outside, which was very quiet, which made Hao Jinsong feel very bad. If the Japanese army attacked, Hao Jinsong's heart would not be worried, but the fact that Japan did not move made him feel uneasy. He suspected that there must be some conspiracy of the Japanese.

The Japanese are now indeed as Hao Jinsong speculated, and they are figuring out how to break through. Because this attack is so dangerous at the entrance, there is nowhere to hide after rushing in. The only result would be to be shot dead by the Chinese soldiers in the opposite fortifications or on the water tower.

How can we recapture the water tower? The Japanese squadron leader Onizuka was so anxious that he held the command knife and walked back and forth under the eaves of the houses on the street, scolding Yaga while walking, his forehead was already sweating profusely, as long as the commanding heights of the water tower were controlled by the Chinese army, the Japanese army in this urban area would have been suppressed to death, no one could stand this suppression, the time given to Onizuka by Terauchi Shouichi was two hours, and the water tower must be taken down in two hours and the water tower must be recaptured, otherwise it will be sanctioned by military law, in fact, Onizuka also knows, If he can't regain the control of the water tower within the specified time, then even if he does not have to be punished by military law, he will be killed by the Chinese army who came over.

Under the eaves of this side stood against the wall with soldiers, all armed with rifles, and under the eaves of the street diagonally opposite, they were also full of soldiers, all waiting for Onizuka's orders.

Onizuka suddenly saw the roof of the house on the opposite street, and his eyes froze, the roof? Yes, the roof, he patted his head and immediately shouted to several soldiers: "You guys, go find some wooden ladders, go quickly!" ”

"Hey!" A few soldiers agreed, put their rifles aside and went from house to house looking for wooden ladders.

Here, Onitsuka brought a few more squad leaders over to issue orders, and several squad leaders quickly understood Onizuka's tactical intentions, and immediately began to deploy according to Onizuka's requirements after turning around and leaving. Soon, four wooden ladders were carried by several Japanese soldiers, two wooden ladders were erected on the eaves of houses on the southwest street, and the other two were erected under the eaves of the houses on the southeast street.

Hao Jinsong's feeling became worse and worse, his heart and eyelids jumped, and before he could figure it out, the Japanese army began to attack again, a large number of Japanese soldiers rushed in from the gap on the opposite side stepping on the corpses of their companions, Hao Jinsong immediately shouted: "Fire!" ”

The gunfire rang out again, this time because the Japanese troops poured in too much at once, the machine guns on the armored vehicles had to join the ranks of the fire, it is said that the power of the 12.7 mm large-caliber dual-purpose heavy machine gun on the armored car was really extraordinary, as soon as it fired, the Japanese soldiers who rushed in were either missing arms and legs, or their whole bodies were swept into two sections by bullets, and the bodies of the Japanese soldiers were sprayed with blood mist, which sprayed the opposite wall red.

The power of the vehicle-mounted machine gun was too great, it only opened fire for less than ten seconds, and the more than 30 Japanese soldiers who rushed in were all knocked down, and even the opposite wall was punched by it A large hole, because the bullet holes in the wall were too dense, the masonry collapsed, revealing a hole in a black hole, but the situation inside the house could not be seen.

Hao Jinsong, who was shooting, saw that the wall had been pierced by machine guns, which made him have a very bad thought, thinking that if the Japanese used that hole, then the shape would be extremely disadvantageous to his side.

Although the Japanese died so many people, but the Japanese attack did not stop, the attack became more violent, the Japanese also thought of some ways, they set some smoke easy to smoke quilts and cloth on fire and threw over, when those burning things released a large amount of smoke, they then a large amount of smoke rushed in from the gap, Hao Jinsong and others were mostly obscured by thick smoke, in order to prevent the Japanese from rushing closer, even the six soldiers on the water tower had to join the ranks of the fire, Two machine guns roared wildly, sealing off a large area of the clearing.

Originally, the two machine guns on the water tower did not join the attack on the Japanese army below, and their main task was to blockade the entire northeastern city to prevent the Japanese army from going to reinforce the area that was being attacked by the Chinese army, but now they also had to join in.

"Bang!"

"Ahh Hu Laosan of Shuita Mountain was operating a heavy machine gun to fire below, and suddenly a bullet hit him in the arm, the pain made him let out a miserable scream, and the machine gun in his hand also survived, Shu Dashui, who was in charge of guarding, suddenly saw a little fire flashing on the roof diagonally opposite, turned his head to look over, and immediately found that several Japanese heads were exposed on the ridge of the roof, and immediately shouted: "The Japanese are on the roof on the left!" After shouting, he shot at the other side with his rifle.

Shu Dashui's marksmanship was very accurate, he killed a Japanese soldier with one shot, the soldier was shot in the head, a blood splash flew out of his head, and the corpse rolled down and smashed several Japanese soldiers.

"Bang"

With the sound of "bell", this time a bullet hit the iron railing on the left and made a crisp sound, Shu Dashui immediately turned his head, and he saw several heads on the roof ridge on the right, and several Japanese soldiers over there were firing at this side, and immediately shouted: "There are also Japanese on the roof on the right!" ”

Hu Laosan couldn't care about the bleeding arm, he gritted his teeth and swung his pistol to move the muzzle of the gun and fire at the house on the right, "Da ??????".

A barrage of bullets swept over, the entire roof on the right was swept over, all the roof tiles were shattered, and several Japanese soldiers lying on the roof were also killed. The bullets pierced the tiles and planks, killing several Japanese soldiers on the roof.

Although the Japanese soldiers on both sides of the roof were killed, they also succeeded in attracting firepower, and the Japanese soldiers continued to climb onto the roof and shoot, Hu Laosan's bombardier Xiao Lu was very unlucky, he was shot, a bullet hit his chest, he covered his chest and lay on the guardrail and gradually lost his breath.

"Little Lu, little Lu!" Hu Laosan saw that the bullet was finished and wanted to let Xiao Lu reload, but when he turned his head to look, Xiao Lu was already lying on the guardrail and did not move, and drops of bright red blood flowed out of his body and fell.

"Oh, yes, Xiao Lu, I'll wipe it!" Although Hu Laosan scolded in his mouth, he was extremely sad in his heart, he turned his head and shouted to Shu Dashui: "Lao Shu, come over and help Lao Tzu load!" ”

This is another Japanese soldier climbed on the roof to shoot this side, the bullet hit the guardrail and made a clanging sound, Shu Dashui saw that Xiao Lu was dead and his face changed, but he quickly came over to load Hu Laosan, Hu Laosan took advantage of this time to the machine gunner Mao Dayou on the next floor and shouted: "Dayou, you deal with the roof on the right, Lao Tzu against the left!" ”

"Roger!" Mao Dayou, the machine gunner below, agreed loudly, turned his gun and fired at the roof on the right, and the few Japanese soldiers who had just emerged were immediately beaten and bloodied. (To be continued......)
