Heyuan County, outside the South City Gate.

As Wang Gensheng's artillery knocked out the little devil's turret, and then fired more than a dozen shells one after another and landed at the city gate, blowing open the little devil's city gate, the soldiers of the third company and the guard company began to charge.

The 14 Type 92 heavy machine guns rang out "aggressively", and the 14 tongues of fire suppressed the little devils on the city tower so much that they couldn't raise their heads at all.

As soon as their heavy machine gun fire was fired, they would be dumbed down within 10 seconds, and the machine gunners and ammunition men would be killed one after another, which was extremely miserable!

……

Seeing that the situation was very good, Yang Yuanshan immediately moved his temporary headquarters forward.

I came to a low slope less than 1.5 kilometers outside the city gate and observed the situation ahead with a telescope.

Zhou Xianpei next to him was very worried, and couldn't help but remind:

"Battalion commander, this place is too close to the battlefield, and stray bullets from heavy machine guns can hit here, it's very dangerous!"

"It's okay! Do you think the little devil's heavy machine gun still dares to take the lead? ”

Yang Yuanshan waved his hand.

In fact, of course, he was also afraid of death, if it was a daytime battle, he would not have come to such a close position to command.

But isn't it night?

It was dark, and he had ordered no torches to be lit around the headquarters, so it should theoretically be very safe.

Seeing that he insisted, Zhou Xianpei couldn't say anything more, and seeing Yang Yuanshan holding a telescope observing the direction of the city gate, he did the same, picked up the telescope around his neck and looked at it.

With the help of the flares fired by the little devils and the fire from the guns of the soldiers, they observed the fierce battle in the cave of the city gate-

At this moment, dozens of little devils were leaning on the chest-high sandbag fortifications behind the city gate hole, shooting at the charging special service battalion soldiers.

This group was different from the little devils with poor marksmanship on the city wall before, they all had accurate marksmanship, and from time to time they shot vicious bullets from the light of the flares, knocking down the soldiers of the special service battalion who rushed in.

The soldiers of the special service battalion entered the city gate hole and could no longer use heavy machine guns to suppress the fire of the little devils.

Although on average each squad has a light machine gun, and the squad leaders and platoon commanders also have box guns, and the firepower is not weak, it is still very difficult to eliminate the little devils hiding behind the fortifications.

All of a sudden, the battle situation was a little anxious, and dozens of soldiers of the special service battalion were blocked at the gate of the city and could not advance.

Seeing this situation, Yang Yuanshan couldn't help but mention Zhou Xianpei next to him:

"Old Zhou, what do you think we should do now?"

"Let the fighters use grenades?

Or a grenadier?

Now that the enemy and the enemy are close to each other, the concentrated use of grenades and grenadiers should have an effect. ”

Zhou Xianpei pondered.

"Well, that's a good idea, but I think it's too slow.

And we can throw grenades, and so can the little devils.

We have grenadiers, and the grenadiers of the little devils are more accurate than ours.

Once they react, we will also suffer heavy casualties.

When I sent a correspondent to report to the regiment commander just now, I had already boasted that Haikou would occupy the south gate in 20 minutes, and now we must fight quickly. ”

Yang Yuanshan vetoed his idea.

Zhou Xianpei couldn't help but be very curious, and said in his heart: In addition to grenades and grenadiers, what other good methods are there now?

He racked his brains for a while, but he didn't think of any good ideas, so he had to ask:

"Battalion commander, what are you going to do?"

"Hehe, of course you solved the problem with firepower!"

Yang Yuanshan smiled with eight teeth.

Then without waiting for Zhou Xianpei to ask, he immediately ordered Zhang Xiaohe to pass the order:

"Xiaohe, go to the artillery position and order Wang Gensheng to transfer the 40-mm anti-aircraft gun to 800 meters in front of the entrance of the city gate!

Little devils like to put bayonets on artillery, let's also put bayonets on anti-aircraft guns!

Shoot straight at full speed for 3 minutes!

Let these bitches know what pain is! ”

"Yes!"

Zhang Xiaohe obeyed the order and left.

"Communicator, order Li Dahe and Wang Ye to slow down the offensive a little, get out of the way of the front of the city gate, and prevent accidental injury by our anti-aircraft guns."

"Yes!"

……

Hearing him give two such orders in a row, Zhou Xianpei immediately understood his thoughts, but he still said with some hesitation:

"Battalion commander, our anti-aircraft gun, the power of 40 mm caliber shells is not great, right?

Why don't we transfer our 4 mountain guns and use them to bombard the little devils behind the city gate, and the mountain guns can also shoot directly, right? ”

The shells of the Bofors 40-mm anti-aircraft guns weigh only 5 kilograms, and if they are used to bombard ground targets, they are much less powerful than the shells of the 75-mm mountain guns, which weigh more than 10 kilograms.

That's why Zhou Xianpei said so.

Yang Yuanshan shook his head and explained:

"Lao Zhou, the cannon is a big caliber, it means powerful.

But in special scenes, there is still a specialization in the art industry.

For example, if you want to fight the little devil infantry, the mountain artillery is of course good, but if it is a tank that fights the little devil, it is better to use a 37mm rapid-fire gun with armor-piercing shells.

And now, to deal with the little devils hiding in improvised fortifications, the mountain guns have a slow rate of fire and average direct fire, but the 40-mm anti-aircraft guns will have a miraculous effect. ”

"Really?"

Zhou Xianpei was skeptical.

"Haha, just wait and see."

Yang Yuanshan stopped talking nonsense with him, and continued to pick up the telescope to observe the situation carefully.

On the battlefield, after Li Dahe, the commander of the third company, and Wang Ye, the commander of the guard company, heard the messenger's order, although they were a little puzzled, they still resolutely carried out the order, asked the soldiers to retreat a little, hid on both sides of the city gate, fired a shot, dodged, and fought with the little devils.

……

In this way, the little devils obviously felt the weakness of our army's attack, and they couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief after being oppressed by our army's ferocious offensive before.

The squadron leader who led the team suddenly felt that he had hope of guarding the city gate, and hurriedly shouted:

"There are not many bullets left in the dirt eight roads!

Victory is at hand!

Hurry up and get ready for the grenadiers.

Order the cowards who almost fled to carry the sandbags and block the gates!

Send someone to check the machine gun fire point and see if you can find two working heavy machine guns! ”

This squadron leader had fought against our army before, and in his impression, our soldiers often only had a few bullets in total, and they often ran out of bullets after a while.

So now that he saw the soldiers of the special battalion retreating, he immediately thought that this was the case.

It can only be said that habitual thinking kills people!

Listening to his orders, the little devils immediately took action, and for a while, they were busy.

However, the good times didn't last long, and it was only 5 minutes later, a little devil who was carrying sandbags was suddenly interrupted by a stop, and blood splattered the faces of the comrades next to him.

This little devil couldn't even let out a scream, so he went to see Lord Yama.

And a few seconds later, there was a loud bang—

"Boom!"

The sandbag fortifications behind this little devil were pierced, blowing up countless sands and soil, and shrapnel injured all the little devils hiding behind the fortifications, causing them to howl miserably-

"Ahh I've been shot! Medic! Help me! ”

"Ahh

"My head hurts, it hurts!"

……

Seeing such a terrible scene, the little devils who were not injured were suddenly in an uproar and shouted in horror:

"Nani?

What kind of demon method is this used in the earth eight roads? ”

"Mom, I want to go home!

Dirt Eight Road is terrible! ”

"Yaga!

Why are the weapons of the Eighth Road more advanced than our locust army? ”

……

The little devil squadron leader is an elite veteran, and when he saw this situation, he immediately roared:

"Yaga!

Hurry up, get down, and watch out for the dirt eight road cannons! ”

Although he didn't see the effect of the Bofors 40mm anti-aircraft gun when it was flattened, he instinctively realized that this was certainly not some magic spell, but obviously a powerful direct-fire gun!

After giving this order, he hurriedly rushed to the room where the telephone was installed, and frantically called the wing headquarters:

"Report to Your Excellency Chief of Staff, Your Excellency the Wing Commander was just on the city wall and was hit by a heavy machine gun on the Eighth Road, and the jade was shattered on the spot!

Kensho Miyazawa temporarily commanded the locust army at the south gate and held the city gate.

But now Tubalu is using an unknown high-power direct artillery to fire at us, and we will soon be unable to withstand it, ask for tactical guidance, 100,000 urgent! ”

And in the dozens of seconds he was calling, the explosion of "boom-boom-boom-" shells kept sounding, and the little devil was blown up and cried dad and mother!

The Bofors 40mm anti-aircraft gun has a maximum rate of fire of 120 rounds per minute, and when it is flattened to hit ground targets, it can be used as 10 guns in one shot!

You know, the rate of fire of the Type 41 75mm mountain gun is only 10 rounds per minute!

So now the little devils are facing the dense raindrops of anti-aircraft guns, and they are in a mess in an instant, and they can't resist it at all.

Even if they hide behind sandbags, or even after several layers of sandbags, it won't help!

The powerful penetration of anti-aircraft guns made their fortifications, like papier-mâché, useless at all.

Only those clever guys, lying on the ground, barely escaped!

But when the squadron leader Kensho Miyazawa finished the call and rushed out of the room, he saw that his squadron of more than 100 elite warriors, and the more than 200 ronin recruits who had just sent someone down to carry sandbags, and now there were less than 100 people lying on the ground squeaking and screaming.

And the rest of the people and the sandbag fortifications were all destroyed in a terrible way!

The smell of blood made him a little dizzy after a long time on the battlefield.

Seeing such a tragic situation, his legs even began to weaken, and he hurriedly reached out to support the city wall next to him, and reluctantly shouted:

"Hurry-hurry-hurry!

Retreat to both sides, avoiding the front!

This is direct-fire artillery! ”

Although his mind was frightened by the ferocity of the enemy, he still made the right command.

Listening to his order, the little devils lying on the ground suddenly seemed to be pardoned, and hurriedly crawled to both sides.

It's just that at this time, the ground is full of blood and stumps and broken arms, and these little devils are crawling and crawling in the shells that keep sweeping overhead, and many people can't control it and vomit on the spot.

All of a sudden, the taste of this battlefield was like hell!
