Chapter 735 The General Attack Begins
"Captain, I think it's almost enough to attack!" Seeing that the Japanese and puppet troops' counterattack firepower at the top of the Nanmen City were getting weaker and weaker, the deputy captain didn't know when he would stand next to Dong Fei, and asked nervously with anticipation.
Dong Fei kept holding a telescope to observe the city head. After saying that, the deputy captain showed an expression of agreement: "It's really almost done. The mobile troops in the city are probably consumed by us!"
"The 5th and 6th Company of the Second Battalion rushed towards the city again, but it was not a real general attack. I forced out all the remaining firepower of the Japanese and puppet troops on the city!"
"The artillery company is ready. The mountain cannons are aimed at the Japanese army and exposed the firepower points of heavy machine guns. They will strive to destroy them with one shot, and will not give them a chance to transfer. The mortars are aimed at the places where the Japanese and puppet troops gather to shoot to cover the infantry assault!"
"Fifty and sixth company rushed forward fifty meters and retreated for me. Try to disperse the team as much as possible to control casualties!"
"The first battalion is ready for a strong attack. After the 5th and 6th Company retreats to the position, all the mountain cannons, mortars, and light and heavy machine guns are fired, and the remaining Japanese and puppet troops on the city are beaten up. The infantry launches an attack at the same time, striving to enter Heshun County with the next artillery fire cover, and then end the battle within an hour."
At the top of the Nanmen City, the Japanese squadron leader stretched out his left arm to let the health soldiers bandage the wound while observing the situation.
In the battle just now, a mortar shell hit him more than ten meters away.
Although the squadron leader hugged his head and lay on the ground, a piece of shell was still pierced into his left arm, blood flowing.
In order to avoid the wound from expanding and affecting his judgment, the squadron leader had to find a sanitary soldier to bandage the wound.
Of course, the pain from the wound was not the most painful thing for him.
The two or three consecutive bloody battles not only wiped out all the reinforcements sent by the command headquarters, but the garrison in the south of the city also suffered heavy casualties in the battle.
At this moment, the total number of Japanese and puppet troops in the city was less than 300, and a huge gap was blown out by the national rescue military using mountain cannons.
There was no battlements in the gap, and a soldier was killed when he went up. In order to avoid unnecessary losses, the squadron leader had to give up the gap and put the only two heavy machine guns left on the top of the city on both sides of the gap, and used cross firepower to attack all the national rescue troops who wanted to assault the gap.
The squadron leader had a very good idea. If he really put it into practice, the National Saving Army would definitely suffer heavy casualties.
Therefore, these two heavy machine guns became the biggest reliance for the squadron leader to defend the city.
Without his orders, no one can use them and expose their targets in advance.
"Sir, there is movement outside the city!" A second lieutenant next to him suddenly reminded.
The health soldier just bandaged the wound, and the squadron leader quickly focused his attention to the position of the National Salvation Army and ordered his subordinates to shoot a flare.
The flare flew into the sky with a scream, quickly burning into a ball of white light, and then slowly descending.
Although this process was only ten seconds, the squadron leader still saw the situation outside the city clearly, and the expression on his face became very serious at this moment.
"The National Salvation Army is going to launch a general attack. This time they dispatched at least two companies of troops, and everyone is ready for battle. As long as they rushed through a hundred meters outside the city, all light and heavy machine guns will be fired, and they will block their attack at all costs!"
Nearly three hundred national rescue troops came in full force, lined up in two scattered lines and rushed towards the city wall. The target of almost one company was obviously a gap in the city wall.
Behind the attacking troops, two heavy machine guns and nearly ten light machine guns were shot desperately at the top of the city.
Although most of the bullets were blocked by battlements, a small number of them passed through the battlements and flew to the top of the city.
Several unlucky subordinates were unfortunately hit by these bullets. Some people stopped moving when they arrived at the top of Zai City, and some people fell to the ground, covering their wounds and screaming...
Seeing this, the squadron leader was more certain about his general offensive judgment. When he saw the National Salvation Army crossing a hundred meters outside the city, he ordered without hesitation: "All light and heavy machine guns are fired, and I will be beaten hard!"
"Dongdongdongdongdong..." The heavy machine guns on both sides of the gap quickly roared.
Two thick heavy machine gun fire tongues intertwined with each other, and at the same time swept towards the national rescue army that was attacking the gap.
The soldiers at the front fell down, not even having a chance to dodge!
Others on the city also joined the battle at this moment, and the crawler guns and bullets flew towards the attacking troops of the National Salvation Army like rain...
However, as the Japanese and puppet troops began to counterattack in full swing, their upper body, which had been hiding behind the battlements, had to be exposed from the battlements in order to aim and shoot. As a result, more and more unlucky guys on the city were killed and injured by the cover firepower of the National Savior Army...
"Sir, the National Rescue Army is retreating... What does this mean? Are you fooling us?" The second lieutenant who first discovered the National Rescue Army's attack shouted again.
Compared with the tension just now, he obviously had a little more anger and confusion at this moment.
The squadron leader also frowned at this moment, and analyzed with a calm face: "I guess their purpose is the same as before, to confuse us through attack, expose our position, and then use shells to consume our troops!"
"Everyone stops shooting, don't be targeted by artillery fire from the National Rescue Army!"
The Japanese squadron leader has a rich combat experience and can tell Dong Fei's purpose at a glance.
But he underestimated the strength of his opponent and mistakenly believed that the National Salvation Army had only one mountain cannon and one mortar to consume the strength of the city defense garrison, so he only ordered the troops to stop shooting, and did not allow everyone to immediately disperse and hide.
"Woooooooooooooooo... rumble..."
At this moment, the scream of mountain cannon shells passing through the sky suddenly reached his ears, and then two violent explosions sounded in his ears, one on the left and the other on the right, just on both sides of the gap.
The squadron leader subconsciously looked at the explosion point, and his face turned pale after a flash.
In the splashing flames, the two battlements were blown into pieces on the spot.
What made him most desperate was the two heavy machine guns behind the two battlements.
The battlements that were blown up first hit the heavy machine gun positions. The flying bricks and stones were even more powerful than the shell fragments. If they were hit, they would either die or be injured. None of the machine gunners were spared...
"Bageya Road, we were fooled. The National Salvation Army not only wanted to consume our troops through the attack just now, but also wanted to destroy all our only heavy weapons... Rumble..."
Before he could finish his words, another explosion occurred on the city wall not far away from him. Four mortar shells exploded at the same time. Three of them were at the top of the city wall. More than a dozen subordinates concentrated in that area were blown over...
"Dongdongdongdong..."
The sound of heavy machine guns fired outside the city at the same time. Compared with the gunshots during the attack just now, the gunshots this time were exactly twice as dense...
The squadron leader quickly looked out of the battlement, and a picture that made him extremely desperate appeared in front of him.
At least twenty machine gun fire tongues appeared in the attacking position of the National Salvation Army, four of which were fired by heavy machine guns.
