Chapter 160, Fierce siege battle

Jingle bell, jingle bell,
After hanging up one phone call and another, the Eighth Route Army was spotted in all four directions, as if Yushe County was surrounded overnight.

In the other three directions, Major Noguchi was not too worried, and the most worrying thing was Xichengguan.

He concluded very early on that if the Eighth Route Army came to attack, there was a high probability that it would attack Xichengguan.

After all, the terrain there, with a lot of building cover, is relatively the most suitable.

Therefore, under his arrangement, the defense of Xicheng Pass is the strictest.Constructed a dark hole in the fortress, and deployed a half-team with more than 90 people.

You know, there are 160 people in the No. 50 Squadron, and there are more than Royal Association Army, which add up to just over people.

The west gate of the whole city occupies half of it, and there are only more than 60 people in the other three directions.

Counting the logistics personnel of the squadron headquarters, Major Noguchi only had fifty or sixty mobile forces in his hands.

Such strength is not enough to cope with the fierce attack of the Eighth Route Army, and support must be called.

The city is still telegraphing for help, and the outside of the city has already become a mess.

With the cover of howitzers, they attacked the first battalion in Xiguan and successfully occupied several rows of houses near the city wall.

Many parts of Xichengguan collapsed, and the fortress built by the enemy, the center of which was blown by a shell, bloomed, and there was no living person inside.

The bombardment destroyed its defense works and greatly killed its vital forces.

Under the successive attacks of the soldiers, the outer positions of Xicheng Pass were torn open.

The Japanese and puppet troops, whose will to fight had collapsed, abandoned their outer positions one after another and retreated towards the core position.

Of course, they did not forget to release poisonous gas to delay the pace of the Eighth Route Army's offensive.

Li Yunlong, who was in the forward headquarters, also smelled the poisonous gas, and cursed his mother angrily.

You little devil, bully me without a gas mask, right?
Damn, you must ask Yuan Lang later.

There was more than one person who made Li Yunlong angry.

Attacking the southwest corner, the fifth and sixth companies of the second battalion crawled forward and secretly passed the enemy's barbed wire fence, and were fiercely fired by the defending enemy.

They can only rely on the positions they have obtained and tenaciously resist the enemy's counterattack.

The attack on the seventh and eighth companies in the northwest corner was even more difficult.Due to their inappropriate selection of positions, several attacks were ineffective.

At present, it is only in a stalemate with the enemy, holding back part of the enemy's vitality.

The battle lasted until midnight, and the retreating devils became more tenacious, and the first battalion was unable to break through its core position.

Li Yunlong ordered the troops to immediately build fortifications on the spot.Stand firm with small troops, evacuate and hide the main force, and wait for orders before attacking.

The first attack was a failure.

Li Yunlong was a little anxious, what's going on?

I originally thought it would be smooth, but why is it so difficult when I start fighting!
He immediately convened a cadre meeting of the regiment, battalion and company to promote military democracy and study the second offensive.

Right at the forward headquarters, Zhang Dabiao, whose face was blackened by the smoke, said, "This is a bit different from playing Yangquan.

The Japanese army in Yangquan didn't seem to think about being attacked by us, so they didn't build too many forts and shooting holes.

Coupled with the cover of artillery fire at that time, the city gate was blasted open by a single shot, so it went smoothly.

I wonder if Consultant Yuan can launch another artillery attack to destroy as much as possible the bunkers and fortifications in its core position. "

The time I played Yangquan was because it went so smoothly.Did not sum up too much useful experience.

The victory experience is artillery bombardment, it is best to open the gap, and then infantry rush.

Yuan Lang, who was called to observe, vetoed Zhang Dabiao's idea: "It's very difficult, the howitzer has a long range, and the area where the impact points spread is large.

There is no artillery balloon to provide observation, and the impact point of the cannon cannot be seen, so it is difficult to carry out precise strikes.I was afraid of hurting you by mistake.

If you want to use it, you can use the -type infantry gun and the flamethrower. Those two things are the best weapons to deal with the fortress.

Ordinary bunkers, aim and shoot, and solve it directly.If you encounter a stronger one, spray it with a flamethrower, and it will definitely be done. "

Then the two -type infantry artillery supporting the Second Battalion must be transferred over.

Li Yunlong hesitated for a moment, and asked: "I have only trained the flamethrower for a few days, can I go to the battlefield?"

It has only been a few days since the flamethrower came back, and there is even less time for training. Li Yunlong really has no idea whether he can be sent to the battlefield.

"I think it can work!" Yuan Lang was not sure: "Why don't you call those fighters over and ask?"

I thought it would go well before, so I didn't count the flamethrower.

However, the fighters who train the flamethrowers are all elite veterans with courage.It is also very quick to get started, and it has already been used in the previous fire-breathing drill.

There must be no problem.

Li Yunlong accepted Yuan Lang's method, but he felt that these were not enough.

Is there no place for infantry to improve?
If there is no Type infantry artillery and flamethrower, how can the infantry play a role and capture the city?

The Second Battalion Commander felt that he had to talk at this moment, to save face, otherwise he would be ashamed and thrown to grandma's house today.

"Leader, comrades, I think we didn't fully estimate the difficulties before, so let's take our second battalion as an example.

During the battle, the firepower was scattered, the organization was chaotic, and there was no way to suppress the enemy's firepower.

In my opinion, the number of our equipment is equal to that of the enemy, and even surpasses the enemy in some areas.

As long as we are well organized and closely coordinated, blocking the enemy's firepower will not be a problem in my opinion. "

The idea provided by the second battalion commander caught everyone's eyes. To be honest, they all encountered similar problems during the attack.

Some of the enemy's shooting holes were hit by several special shooters and machine guns, and the flames were quickly turned off.

There are also some shooting holes that have been ignored, and the firepower suppression system is not enough, but they are used by the enemy for a while.

If strict organization is carried out to ensure that each squad and each machine gun has a specific suppression task, it will be much easier to fight.

The crowd expressed their agreement in a hurry.

Li Yunlong felt that it made sense, so he took a few battalion cadres, risking the enemy's discovery, and went to the forefront in person to carefully observe the enemy's bright and dark firepower points and the perforating situation of the bunker.

After returning, he said to the crowd: "In general, our equipment and numbers are in the absolute majority. As long as we organize well and cooperate closely, we will have no problem taking Yushe County tonight."

Subsequently, Li Yunlong assigned the tasks of suppressing the enemy's firepower one by one.

After accepting the task, each attacking force made a detailed deployment.Each company numbered the enemy's firepower points and shooting holes, and made a more specific division of labor.

For example, the machine guns of the first squad hit the number of perforations, and the firepower of the second squad suppresses the number of perforations.

Especially the shooting positions of light and heavy machine guns and special shooters are all chosen to be very close to the enemy's gun holes and shooting holes to ensure that they can hit the target accurately.

Afterwards, it proved that this method was very effective. After the battle, a Japanese prisoner said to Li Yunlong:

"You beat your feet with your feet exposed, and beat your hands with your hands exposed. The firepower is strong and accurate."

At 01:30 in the evening, the second storm began.

Before the attack, Li Yunlong personally stipulated the discipline on the battlefield and said to everyone: "If a bullet is shot from a gun hole, the firearm that should be suppressed must be responsible.

If the infantry does not follow up and charge when the firepower is in effect, they will be punished as fleeing. "

Damn, for this attack, Li Yunlong is bound to win.

With an order, all kinds of firearms that had been prepared opened fire at the same time, and countless bullets swept across the enemy.

Many bullets flew directly into the enemy's perforation.The enemy lost their initial arrogance and was too suppressed to fight back.

The sound of gunfire, the explosion of grenades, and the explosion of artillery shells merged into a continuous and earth-shattering loud noise. The concentration of guns and artillery was unprecedented since the Anti-Japanese War.

The Japanese army on the core position panicked, and resolutely released the poisonous gas despite the lack of gas masks of the coordinated imperial alliance army.

The entire position was shrouded in poisonous fog, and many cadres and soldiers who attacked were poisoned.

After a while, four enemy planes flew over Yushe, bombing and strafing the Eighth Route Army attacking troops at low altitude.

Li Yunlong continued to command the troops to attack the enemy in the smoke and poisonous gas of the gunfire.

"Ahem, stand up the light and heavy machine guns of the reserve team, and shoot him like a dog. If anyone can shoot down a plane, I will reward him with two bottles of Fenjiu."

The plane was not shot down, but it also prevented the enemy planes from being so rampant.The visibility at night is too low for planes flying at low altitudes to see clearly the situation below.The lethality against the Eighth Route Army is not so strong.

This is also a benefit of night raids.The enemy who has mastered the air supremacy can't be too aggressive.

With a wet towel on his mouth, Yuan Lang cooperated with the soldiers of the artillery squad to provide fire support with the Type infantry artillery.

At the risk of being attacked by the enemy, he was on a sentry tower about 50 meters away from Xichengguan, and the muzzle was aimed directly at the bunker on the enemy's core position.

There is nothing to say about his cannon-firing skills. Often a single cannon shot can destroy a bunker or firepower point.

"Pyroman!"

Zhang Dabiao shouted loudly.

A soldier with a flamethrower on his back climbed up from behind.

Zhang Dabiao recognized him as a backbone soldier of the Second Company, who usually fights very fiercely, brandishing a big knife as if desperate for his life.

He pointed to not far away, a bunker that was spouting flames.The bunker seemed to be built with concrete and steel bars, I don't know how thick it was, and it was fine after being hit by two shells.

"I let them cover you, about 30 meters away from the bunker, is that okay?"

"Don't worry, battalion commander, there is absolutely no problem." The fire-breathing soldier replied loudly.

Although the training time was not long, he sprayed the simulated target twice before, and the results were very good.

As the whole regiment and even the whole army, he was the first to put the flamethrower into actual combat, and he was very excited.

"Machine gun cover!"

Following Zhang Dabiao's order, the light and heavy machine guns became more powerful for a while, ejecting a large number of bullets to suppress the enemy's firing holes.

Bullets swished past him, and the flamethrower quickly crawled forward regardless of the gravel and shrapnel that had scarred him.

50 meters, 40 meters, 35 meters, soon to the position.

After setting up the flamethrower, he took a deep breath, and immediately pushed the injection button forcefully.

A fiery fire dragon illuminated the night sky brightly, and the battlefield at the core position was instantly illuminated.

The soldiers all subconsciously looked over and saw the fire dragon rushing into the bunker.

Immediately afterwards, there was a scream that overwhelmed the sound of guns and guns. The scream was reminiscent of the evil spirits in hell.

The "evil ghost" that is frightening to look at also soon appeared in the world.

Two human torches ran out from the back of the bunker, and they rolled all over the floor trying to extinguish the flames, but that only made the flames grow hotter.

"Ah—help me..."

The soldiers who were lit as torches would not die immediately, but were still howling and howling in pain.

The Japanese counterattack seemed to have stagnated at that moment.

For the first time they felt scared.

Crackling, a few gunshots, and Major Noguchi, who came to support, ended the suffering of the two soldiers with a pistol, and shouted at the other Japanese soldiers:
"Counterattack, attack!"

The gunfire was loud again, and the resistance of the Japanese army continued.

However, after this scene, all the Japanese and puppet troops felt terrified.Death is terrible, but what is even more terrible is the pain that precedes death.

It is impossible to save the torch after turning into a human form, and it is the best choice to let his companions shoot twice to end the pain.

Who is the next torch?
In particular, the puppet army with low fighting will has begun to slow down and seek opportunities to escape or surrender.

As the bunkers were pulled out one by one and the firepower points were wiped out, Major Noguchi realized that the Xicheng Pass was going to be unstoppable.

He ordered his subordinates to alternately cover the retreat and defend Yushe Middle School, which was occupied by them, to delay the demise of himself and others.

"Or choose an opportunity to break through?"

Major Noguchi was taken aback by his sudden thought.

Running away... was something he had never thought about since he joined the army.
