Chapter 18: Order to persevere

The Japanese army was advancing all the way, with hundreds of fortresses along the line. Even if the Japanese army had artillery fire support, it would be difficult to make progress, especially those iron-blooded troops would evacuate automatically after only a few minutes of blocking, leaving a small animal to pull the trigger. If the Japanese army had not attacked a bunker that had not been completely blown up, they would not have known that they were frightened by these small animals and dared not move forward.

"Cross the river quickly..." The Third Division passed through Sishui City and did not enter at all. He went straight through the pontoon bridge to the trenches more than seven miles across the other side.

"The Third Battalion of the First Division was ordered to defend Sishui and vow to survive and die with Sishui..." On the east wall of Sishui City, there was a unit stationed in the third Battalion of the Second Brigade of the First Division. The task they received was to defend Sishui for two hours, and after two hours, they could break through and return. No one knew that the friendly troops in front had returned to the other side through the northern pontoon bridge, and they were abandoned sons, Deng Sen's abandoned sons.

"Brothers, I'm sorry!" Looking at the Sishui City in the distance, Tian Ding's eyes were wet. Those brothers might not know that they had no hope of living, because they were just a bait.

The Japanese brigade rolled and the pack horses pulled the cannons. At this time, the truck was not used on the cannons, because the trucks seemed to be a little slow.

"Major General Jier is Sishui City ahead of him. As long as he breaks Sishui City, he can threaten the hinterland of the Iron Blood Army to the west. But it seems that they are unwilling to throw away Sishui City!" Looking at the hideous dragon-headed swastika flag at the head of Sishui City, Zhongshan Xinyi smiled contemptuously. If the trenches of Iron Blood Army are stationed in the trenches and artillery fire cannot be bombarded on a large scale, they are a little embarrassed, but Sishui is a city, and the city tower can only collapse it with a heavy cannon bullet.

"The artillery established artillery positions, and the Japanese army carried out tentative attacks." The Japanese were already seen by Jill as lackeys, and without the Vietnamese, they began to order the Japanese with arrogant orders.

"Okay!" Although Shinyi of Zhongshan did not want to obey Jill's orders, he finally agreed. Since defeating Russia, Japan has begun to work hard to change its image in the world and get closer to European and American countries. He has always had a sense of awe for European and American countries.

"When the enemy comes, hide it immediately..." The Third Battalion did not station too many troops on the city wall, only about one hundred people, and the other more than 600 people were in simple fortifications 10 to 20 meters inside the city wall, and these fortifications were built with materials for houses.

A squadron of Japanese troops advanced carefully. They were no longer the contemptuous mentality they had at the beginning. Now they all regarded the Iron Blood Army as an opponent of the same level.

"Aim to shoot, we don't have many bullets..." Lu Yanan held the monocular telescope. He really didn't understand why the commanders were so good to them this time. A division only had dozens of heavy machine guns, but they gave them ten battalions, and each bullet was fifty. You should know that other soldiers only had twenty rounds of wartime combat ammunition. After the battle, they either fought for bayonets or went to the regiment headquarters to collect them. Moreover, the newly developed Tietong cannon was also given four, and these things were all treasures!

There were not many people on the city wall, but under the gaze of thousands of eyes of the Japanese, it was still possible to find that several Japanese soldiers squatted down at the city wall and shot, but unfortunately the distance was too far and they didn't hit it.

"The Japanese's eyes are so fucking good!" Seeing the enemy bullets attacking, a young soldier hurriedly shrank his head and the bullet flew past his lookout.

"Prepare heavy machine guns for me and shoot me at any time..." All the soldiers of the Third Battalion were full of momentum. The military headquarters had issued an order. The Third Battalion was responsible for the main tasks of this battle. As long as no one's family completed, they could receive a subsidy of 200 yuan at one time. Whether they were alive or died in battle, they would be first-class merit. The children would directly enter the party, and the family would be exempted from any taxes for life and have various priority. If the government had any preferential policies, the first thing was to implement these families, and the military pay would be extinguished throughout their lives. Even if they were killed in battle, they would be given a level of military rank in their lifetime, and would be distributed until their children were adults or their parents had a hundred years of age. What an attractive policy and how touching guarantee, even if they died in battle, they would have no regrets after hearing these guarantees. They had unlimited trust in Deng Sen and the Iron Blood Party.

"Fight..." The Japanese army finally entered the range of range, and the iron-blooded army on the city wall began to shoot first, and heavy machine gun bullets swarmed down.

"Ahhh..." The Japanese army was originally cautious in marching, but the other party's three heavy machine guns were cross-fired. Even if they were careful, many people were still injured or killed.

"Retreat...Retreat..." Although the other party was not large in number, they were harsh enough and they threw bullets down like they wanted to be money. If the Japanese army wanted to shoot, they had to look up first. Before they could shoot, they were destroyed. So they retreated, not to mention that they did not believe that the Iron Blood Army had just a few people stationed in the garrison.

"Go down the city tower..." At the top of the city tower, a company commander of the Iron Blood Army was holding his telescope to observe the enemy's rear. When he saw the hideous giant cannon several miles away, he hurriedly ordered his soldiers to go down the city wall. If this old city wall is hit, it will become a ruin in less than a moment.

Lu Yanan, who was preparing for defense in the rear work room, turned around and saw Lin Fang, the company commander of the 7th Company, and escaped to the city wall like a hundred of his subordinates. He thought to himself, "Is the enemy's firepower in siege too strong?"

But when he looked carefully, he found that each of the soldiers was out of breath and there was no sign of being shot. Moreover, it looked like one hundred people were almost the same. So he wrinkled his head and walked to him with a bad tone and said, "Lin Fang, why did you come down so quickly when you are responsible for the blockade on the city?"

Lin Fang, when Lu Yanan came to his side, hurriedly saluted, then bent down and took a few breaths quickly, pointed to the city tower and said, "Battery Commander, it's hard for us to shoot this time. The enemy has heavy artillery, and there are many, and there are many wild artillery artillery!"

"So many cannons?" When Lu Yanan heard Lin Fang's answer, he was shocked. Heavy cannons, this is the nemesis of the city wall! He could see with his own eyes the scene when his 120 mm cannons hit the city wall.

"Yes! And we are preparing to fire the artillery, I think we should retreat a little! It is easy to be accidentally injured by shells here, so we might as well engage in street fighting in the port alley." The fear of artillery is a common problem for the entire Iron Blood Army, because there are too many troops defeated under the Iron Blood Army artillery, and they don't want to try that feeling.

"Okay! Each company immediately retreated and scattered in the eastern direction of the inner city!" The inner city of Sishui was temporarily built some time ago, mainly because the east of Sishui is the first front, and the military supplies there are all turned around here.

"By using obstacles such as houses to block the enemy, even if you use corpse blocks, you have to block them." A battalion of more than 700 people guarded a city. Although this city is just a small county town, it is not something they can take care of. The Japanese army can conduct several attacks or even encircle them inside. They don't understand what to guard in this city where there is no one and all the materials are transferred!

"Architecture..." The coalition's artillery sounded, and more than a dozen heavy artillery began to shell the city wall on the east side. The huge and powerful heavy shells almost smashed a large area of ​​the city wall into pieces.

In the blink of an eye, a round of artillery bombardment ended. When I saw that the city wall on the east was no longer as good as it was. Except for a few lucky ones standing up, everything else broke and fell down, splashing waves of dust in the sky.

"Crash... ten thousand years..." Five thousand Japanese troops, together with more than 2,000 French troops, began to attack the city. They did not fire a single shot along the way. What was strange was that the Iron Blood Army seemed to have disappeared and could not see any figures. The more this happened, the more strange it seemed. The Iron Blood Army would never be solved by a shelling. However, what made their hearts tremble the most was that there was not even a single voice here. In addition, the setting sun gave people a gloomy feeling - this was a dead city.

The Japanese army was also dispersed and divided into teams to investigate. One of the teams was the place where the 7th Company of the Second Battalion was located.

"Shh..." Feeling that the soldiers around him wanted to raise their guns and shoot, Lin Fang turned his head and raised his fingers to the person in the room to his lips, signaling not to speak and quiet down.

The Japanese army slowly walked slowly in the alley, kicking open the doors of the residents' houses next to them from time to time, but the purpose was full of chaotic debris, and there was no one at all. Moreover, looking at the dust on it, no one had lived there for at least a while. A ghost-like feeling came again. In fact, the residents of Sishui City were transferred to Lingbi Su County by Deng Sen as early as the beginning of the war. Although many people were reluctant to leave the farmland they had just cultivated, they cared about their lives more than their lives, which made the entire city look like a dead city.

The Japanese army conducted a little bit of investigation, and the soldiers of the Iron Blood Army stayed honestly behind the waste until the Japanese army had already walked past most of them.

"Fight..." Lin Fang roared, and the doors and windows of a group of houses in the south of the Japanese army immediately opened, and heavy machine guns and rifles fired at them at the same time.

"Play..."

"Dadada..."

"Ah...ah...ah...ah..." The sudden attack had a good effect. The Japanese army in front of him was in a panic. When they turned around, the Iron Blood Army had already begun to start again at them, not to mention that the heavy machine guns were still firing at them.

"Master, on our left." Several Japanese troops in the distance heard the sound of gunfire and hurriedly turned to support the encirclement in order to annihilate the enemy. Moreover, several troops approached in different directions, and Lin Fang's company would definitely not escape the encirclement!
