"The regiment commander, plus the company that just arrived, all four companies participating in the siege have been in place. Xiyang City has been surrounded by us. No fly can fly out. Do you want to pull out the mountain cannons we brought now, blow up the city gate, and kill into Xiyang City!" Chief of Staff Chen Zhengyu reported both nervously and excitedly.

This is the first time since the establishment of the National Salvation Army, and it is also an attack on the county town.

If he wins, Xiyang will be the first county town that the National Salvation Army seized from the Japanese behind enemy lines. It will not only inspire the morale of the military and allow the National Salvation Army to have a greater strategic maneuver space in future operations, but also shock the group of senior officials who want to kill the National Salvation Army, so that they can see the strength of the National Salvation Army, killing three birds with one stone!

Several communication soldiers immediately looked at Zhou Cheng, and as long as he nodded, they immediately launched a siege signal to the sky.

Zhou Cheng shook his head in surprise: "Don't worry..."

"The battle has just begun. With the Japanese fighting style, there must be many troops in the city as reserves."

"If we enter Xiyang City now, those reserve teams will definitely destroy the ammunition and grain warehouses at the last moment of the battle, so that we can take down an empty city and get nothing."

"Although the reconnaissance team has entered the city early, they are not omnipotent."

"If there are too many Japanese in the city, it will definitely be unfavorable for their actions. Let's first hang the Japanese and puppet troops on the top of the city to fight, consume more of their troops, and force the Japanese to send all the reserves to the battlefield. The reconnaissance team can quietly take down the arsenal and grain warehouses. Then the general attack will be launched, and the siege troops will not have to worry about the Japanese destroying the ammunition and grain warehouses before they die."

"I notify the companies to start siege. The regiment headquarters strengthened the mortars and heavy machine guns that were given to them could be used at will, but mountain cannons should not be used. Be sure to kill the most Japanese and puppet troops at the minimum cost."

"First hold the Japanese and puppet troops on the top of the city and fight for an hour, and then decide whether to launch a general attack!"

Outside the east gate of Xiyang, a company that had just arrived here was digging trenches and establishing an offensive position.

After receiving the order from the regiment commander, Xiang Feng did not say a word of nonsense and directly started to give orders: "All light and heavy machine guns and grenade launchers are all set up for me."

"The guard squad's crooked fire first, attack with a row of attacks, test the strength of the Japanese and puppet troops in the east of the city, and force out their positions and firepower points."

"The remaining light and heavy machine guns fired at the same time, staring at the Japanese on the earthen wall and firing a volley, trying to kill a few Japanese and puppet troops as much as possible, and then forcing the Japanese artillery and grenade launchers out. Finally, all the grenade launchers we equipped will join the battle, first fight the Japanese and puppet guns, and then fire grenades to places with a lot of people, giving the Japanese and puppet troops a warning to the Japanese and puppet troops in the city."

The Japanese commander who was supervising the battle at the East Gate was a second lieutenant, standing behind the earthen wall and looking out of the city.

The puppet army company commander was serving beside him, with a flattering smile on his face, very respectful.

Although the other party's military rank is lower than that of him, who made him Japanese? If he performs poorly, he will be angry with the second lieutenant and may shoot himself to change to a new company commander on the battlefield.

"Taijun, there is only one company of the Eighth Route Army moving outside the east gate. I just counted it on the head, and there would definitely be no mistakes." The company commander of the puppet army reported carefully.

"The Eighth Route Army is notorious for poor equipment. A company is equipped with at most two light machine guns."

"The troops I commanded were equipped with a Czech-made unit. Taijun, you brought two light machine guns, and the number of machine guns must be greater than theirs. If the Eighth Route Army dares to attack and ensures that they are suppressing them, we will kill as many people launch an attack."

The company commander's words happened to be in the heart of the team leader.

The Second Infantry Squadron was destroyed outside the city, and 80% of the strongholds in Lijiazhuang Town were also captured. The Xiyang Garrison lost so many troops at once, not only one captain officer, but also several lieutenant officers.

When the troops repel the Eighth Route Army and defend Xiyang City, the garrison will definitely complete the organization.

In order to further control the garrison, the captain will definitely promote many people from the first squadron to become officers of the newly built second squadron.

I am now on the rank of a second lieutenant and the confidant of the captain. If I can make some achievements in the next battle and kill a few more Eighth Route Army, it will definitely be very natural to be promoted to a lieutenant after the war.

With this kind of good mood, the second lieutenant decisively ordered: "All troops are placed on earth walls, and machine guns and grenade launchers are set up for me."

"After the Eighth Route Army launches an attack, be sure to kill them with the most fierce firepower, and kill as many soldiers as possible, so that no one can retreat."

"Taijun is wise..."

More than a hundred Japanese and puppet troops were just lined up on the earth wall, and the attack of the National Salvation Army began.

The guard company's equipment was equipped with a crooked handle quickly spit out flames into the county town, making the earth walls full of dust.

Then I saw dozens of figures appearing more than a hundred meters outside the city.

Holding a gun, bent over, lined up with a scattered line, he was very alert to approaching the city.

The second lieutenant looked at him, and he was afraid that his subordinates would shoot in advance, causing the cooked duck to slip away from his mouth. He quickly ordered: "Stay it all for me, and wait until the enemy approached before firing."

"No one can fire early without my order."

When the offensive troops rushed to 100 meters outside the city, their formation was more scattered than before, and their attack speed became faster and faster.

The Japanese lieutenant decided not to wait, decisively pulled out his command knife, waved his way out of the city and shouted: "Shoot... all the machine guns are fired..."

Before he finished speaking, the "crackling" gunshots rang out on the line of the earthen walls. Many soldiers in the attacking troops were hit by a sudden bullet and fell down in response.

Seeing this battle result, the lieutenant shouted with satisfaction: "Yoxi, just fight like this, continue shooting, kill all the enemies attacking us..."

But at this moment, an accident happened.

The attacking troops, which had only been fired in one round, were all lying on the ground, moving neatly, as if they had been trained.

This is too abnormal. Under normal circumstances, the offensive troops will never stop attacking because of this loss, but will continue to rush forward in one go, otherwise the soldiers they had just been beaten to death would die in vain.

Before the second lieutenant could think more, more than ten flames that suddenly appeared more than a hundred meters away told him the answer directly.

In order to hit the soldiers of the National Savior Army lying on the ground, many Japanese and puppet troops exposed their upper bodies when shooting. More than ten light and heavy machine guns equipped in a company suddenly shot, and these Japanese and puppet troops directly became living targets for the company.

The dense bullets flew towards them, although most of them hit the earth walls and dust was flying, and a small number of bullets hit these living targets.

Gunshots kept coming and screams quickly came from the earth wall. Soldiers were constantly being shot, loaded from the earth wall two or three meters high, and hit the ground heavily, causing secondary damage.

The lieutenant was stunned.

The confidence and smile on his face disappeared instantly, and then the whole face became solemn.

After glanced at the left and right sides, I saw at least twenty subordinates and the Imperial Army being beaten to death and injured. The remaining subordinates were all hiding behind the earthen walls and dared not show their heads.

At this time, the offensive troops who rushed a hundred meters away also got up and joined in the fun, took the opportunity to attack with rifles, and ran more than ten meters in the blink of an eye.

"Taijun, the enemy's offensive firepower is too strong. We are completely suppressed and we cannot raise our heads to fight back!" The company commander of the puppet army was stunned by the light and heavy machine guns that suddenly appeared in the company. He was stunned for a long time before he could react.

"Fire the grenade launcher immediately, knock off the enemy's heavy machine gun firepower point first!" The second lieutenant was very anxious to order.

The most urgent task now is to remove the opponent's light and heavy machine guns, reduce the combat pressure of the defending troops, and give them the opportunity to raise their heads and fight back, otherwise the offensive troops outside the city can reach the city gate in one go, and no matter how powerful they are, they will be weak.

As for where the opponent got so many light and heavy machine guns, I don’t have time to study them now, and I can’t study them. I can only find a way to understand them after the battle is over.

"Boom..."

The explosion of the grenades quickly rang out in a company's position. The Japanese had a very high accurate head when operating the grenade launcher. Two grenades hit a light machine gun position, and the machine gun, together with the main and deputy machine gunners, were blown over.

The second lieutenant was so excited that hope rekindled on his gloomy face and shouted quickly.

"The grenade launcher continues to shoot and blow up all the enemy's offensive firepower points..."

"Boom..."

The explosion soon resounded in a row of positions. During this round of shooting, a crooked handle located next to the blasting point was blown to death.

The second lieutenant did not call this time, but stared at the company's position outside the city, waiting for the opponent's third machine gun to be blown up by the grenade launcher.

"Boom boom boom..."

This time the explosion came very quickly, but it was very close to him, as if it was ringing in his ears. It was definitely not from the opponent's offensive position, and there were several consecutive explosions at the same time.

I only have two grenade launchers, how could I fire so many grenades at the same time?

The second lieutenant realized something was wrong as soon as he heard it.

He looked at the sound, and the scene in front of him made him so angry that he vomited blood.

The two grenade launchers he had high hopes were blown upside him, and there were five bloody grenade launchers coming upside him, and their lives and deaths were unknown.

There is no doubt that the explosion just now was generated by the attacking troops using grenade launchers.

The grenade launcher was his only chance to repel the enemy's attack. Now it was blown away. With just three machine guns, it would definitely not be able to defend the east gate. Moreover, the opponent had just emerged at least five grenade launchers, so it would be even more difficult to block them.

Immediately shouted to a subordinate next to me: "You go to the command center to report to the captain. We were attacked by at least ten light and heavy machine guns and five grenade launchers from the enemy. The troops suffered heavy casualties. Please support... Go now..."

"Others defended their positions to the death, and the machine gunners fired, and fired at the enemy's attacking troops. No matter how powerful their attacking firepower was, no one would kill Xiyang City."
