Section 72

The pace of the battle was very fast, and the Japanese army attacked very quickly after increasing its troops, and it seemed that the defenders did not want to give the defenders any time to react and resist, just took a few breaths, and the undulating earthy yellow figures had already reached the city gate, and began to attack the fortifications at the city gate from all corners, in a vain attempt to decide.

Although the soldiers of the third platoon of the national army are not numerous, their tenacious style of not fearing death is not inferior to any unit, and they don't know how the tall sledgehammer with a fierce and indifferent look usually leads the troops, nor does he see how he commands, but the soldiers of the two squads advance and retreat in an orderly manner, interspersed and combined, and their rigorous cooperation is as if they have cooperated for several years, with the help of the powerful firepower of several machine guns, it is difficult to suppress the enemy in the dark night.

Yang Dahu flashed out of the bunker, and after a roar, he threw the * in his hand to a corner in front of him with a round arm, and with a loud "boom", a flame rose into the air, directly blowing up the two Japanese soldiers hiding there.

However, as soon as a smile appeared at the corner of Yang Dahu's mouth, he heard the tall sledgehammer on the side suddenly shout: "Get down!" ”

Yang Dahu's heart trembled, where did he dare to have the slightest hesitation, and immediately his face changed drastically and wanted to retract into the bunker, however, his movements were obviously a step slower, and the devil in the corner seemed to be waiting for him to show his head, in this case, where would he let go of such a good opportunity, several gunshots rang out almost at the same time, and a series of bullets suddenly staggered towards the place where he was, and he didn't even have time to react, only heard him scream, and immediately fell to the ground heavily, in pain.

"Sichuanese, what's the injury?" The tall sledgehammer controlled the machine gun to suppress the devil who peeked out from the street, and at the same time shouted to the side with concern, in this critical situation, he didn't even have time to turn his head back, and could only understand the situation by shouting.

"Company commander, I can't do it......" screamed in pain, and Yang Dahu fell to the ground, and there was no sound for a while.

Shen Er, who was on the side of the "Sichuan Yankee", also shouted when he heard the movement here, but his shouting was not answered, and he immediately shouted anxiously again: "Company commander, ask for help, there are too many devils, we can't stand it." ”

With a roar, the machine gun with a tall sledgehammer once again forced the impending devil back, and then he scolded Shen Er on the side: "Shut up, how to fight the battle, do you still need to command?" ”

Before the words fell, Shen Er let out a muffled cry and fell down on his back.

Although the losses of the Japanese army were far greater than those of the national soldiers who relied on the fortifications to defend, the strength of the two squads was still able to follow one after another in the face of a few machine guns, but the situation of the brothers in the third platoon was much more disadvantageous. The thin manpower was really unable to take care of the long defensive line, and the casualties increased greatly for a while.

After about a pillar of incense, Inoue Kurago, who was watching the battle from a distance, suddenly shouted excitedly, seeing that the assault troops finally broke through the opponent's defense and killed at the city gate, he immediately brandished his saber and rushed forward with the fresh force beside him, ready to give the enemy in front of him the final blow.

Seeing that the enemy was about to be defeated, the attacking Japanese army was fierce for a while, and the howls in their mouths reached everyone's ears, which suddenly made people's heartstrings tremble and extremely uneasy.

At this time, the tall sledgehammer saw the enemy coming rapidly, and after gritting his teeth, he crawled and retreated into the city gate passage with the surviving people beside him, where there was almost no way out, and there was no need to worry about the impact of the enemy on the left and right wings, which can be regarded as the most understandable fortification, unless the devil killed them all, otherwise, in this narrow area, there is no possibility of passing through safely.

But in the same way, in such a situation, if they want to rush out of the city gate again, there is no such possibility, and their retreat is basically equivalent to giving up control of the city.

Inoue Kurago, who was in charge of commanding the front offensive, naturally saw this situation at a glance, and was immediately overjoyed, the enemy retreated into the city gate, although he had no way to take the other party for a while, but now the main thing is to capture the city gate, and the annihilation of the enemy can be a little slow, and now as long as this section of the city wall is taken down, those enemies who are shrunk in the city gate can only wait for death.

"Kill it, kill it, leave a squad to defend it, and the others will immediately capture the tower." Inoue Kurago shouted with his sword, his tone full of frenzy and excitement, and in such a situation, victory seemed to be within reach.

However, what the Japanese lieutenant didn't know was that on the city wall, which was only twenty or thirty paces away from them, Shi Shi looked at him as if he were looking at a dead man, without any expression on his face, but his tone was full of regret, and he muttered to the pillar beside him: "Who is the commander of the devil?" In such a situation, even if he is still fighting so conservatively, it seems that it is unlikely that he wants to completely annihilate the other party. ”

Zhuzi was not as calm as him, and seeing that the devil was already about to kill up the stairs, he suddenly asked anxiously, "Do you have to wait any longer?" Stones, the devil is about to be killed. ”

The stone shook his head and sighed lightly: "Let's fight!" It seems that the little devils will not be fooled, so let's beat them back first. ”

The pillar on the side had been waiting for this order for a long time, and he immediately picked up his rifle and was about to fire, but before he could make a move, Shi hurriedly said: "Brother Zhuzi, stabilize it first, use the rifle for the time being, and use the heavy firepower later." ”

"Want to take another look? The devil has not thrown all his troops in until now, and he probably thought that we might attack from behind, and the possibility of success is really unlikely. The pillar couldn't help but remind.

The stone was unwilling to say: "Try again, with the devil's current strength, we are condescending, it shouldn't be a big problem in a short time, and when we block this wave of attacks from the devils, we will kill the past and mess up the devil's position, if the madman can grasp the opportunity, there is still a chance to annihilate this wave of devils." ”

The pillar nodded, and seeing that the devil had already begun to rush up the stairs, he suddenly yelled, "With a rifle!" Immediately, he quickly aimed underneath and pulled down his rifle without hesitation.

It's complicated to say, but the change in the situation is really dizzying, after the pillar roared, the rifle in his hand had already fired a deadly bullet and went straight to the saber-wielding Inoue Kurago, and before the other party didn't have time to react, he had easily tore open the opponent's chest.

At the same time, with the sound of this gunshot, the people who had been holding back on the city wall for a long time finally began to roar angrily and poured out the bullets in the chamber of the gun towards the enemy. Its fierce momentum is terrifying.

Although they all temporarily changed to rifles on their sides during the call of the pillar, when the enemy had already rushed in front of them, there was no need to even aim at this time, and its lethality was really appalling.

The Japanese army was immediately in chaos, more than a dozen Japanese soldiers who rushed up the steps were suddenly shot into a hornet's nest by dense bullets, and what was worse was that they lost the command order of the deputy squadron commander, and the follow-up troops did not dare to retreat in the face of such a situation, but gritted their teeth and continued to attack, the consequences of which can be imagined, in another round of gunfire, suddenly fell down in a row.

It was only at this time that the two squad leaders reacted, and in their screams of uneasiness, the Japanese troops also temporarily withdrew, far away from the city gate, and even the squad that suppressed the city gate also retreated in a hurry. The cunning of the national army really made them hate it at this moment, the advantage they had previously had was completely reversed in just a few breaths, and when they thought of the more than twenty brothers they had lost in a short period of time, the two squad leaders almost felt that their hearts were dripping blood.

However, at this moment, Yokozo Nagano, who had always looked serious in the distance, finally showed a cruel smile on his face, and his low body looked almost demonic in this case.

"Yo West...... The people of China really still have an ambush on the city wall, and the people who can be left behind to cut off the queen really have some ability, but now that they have been exposed, let's wait for death! He said a few words with a cruel smile, and Nagano Yokozo shouted with a stern expression in vain: "Kawakami and Matsumoto's team immediately went over to reinforce, the troops of the Shina people are only one company at most, before dawn, I will personally stand on the castle tower to welcome the troops of the Great Japanese Empire into the city!" ”

"Hi" The herald who had been waiting beside him immediately answered, and quickly retreated into the distance.

Feeling the sound of the troops gathering in all directions, looking at the castle tower shrouded in darkness in the distance, now calm has regained, Nagano Yokozo slowly pulled out the saber at his waist, with a cruel smile on his face, he didn't even mention a word about Inoue Sogo and other assault soldiers who died earlier, in his eyes, it seems that the lives of these people are not worth mentioning at all.

And just as he was about to lead the attack himself, he glanced back at one of the soldiers with great interest, and looked at the large foul-smelling bag he was carrying, and he stuck out his tongue and licked his chapped chin, and a piercing laugh came out of his mouth.
