under fire

Chapter 1417

starry night.

breeze.

After finishing his work on the embankment, the devils quietly dispatched elite scouts to disguise themselves as ordinary people.

After figuring out the strength and movement of the daring self-governing army, a large number of troops set off after dark.

This time the action was swift and secretive. Before approaching Juanzi Village, the devils disguised as ordinary people were still used as vanguards, and they successively touched off the outer sentinels of the Autonomous Army.

At the same time, he was also caught alive, and learned from a sentry who was not determined enough that there was only one battalion of "autonomous army" in the village.

The devil had a radio, and quickly confirmed to the headquarters the origin of this group of autonomous troops: the first regiment of the East Asian Alliance Autonomous Army, a brigade who had defected from the Eighth Route Army.

The devils immediately resorted to their killer weapon: encirclement.

Then, the Devils car convoy from the north followed with a bang, and the headlights of the cars emitted bright beams of light.

The convoy stopped about 300 meters from the north of the village, and the engineers who jumped off the back of the car quickly filled the drainage ditch on the side of the road, and then directed the car to drive directly into the field.

The generator on the cargo compartment of the car hummed, and two dazzling and bright beams of light swayed towards the north of Juanzi Village.

There are brighter searchlights, and the headlights of cars are dimmed.

Car headlights go out.

The dispersed team of devils showed no intention of hiding under the light of the searchlights.

It is obvious that they want to bully those who dare to defect.

The autonomous army's equipment is slightly better than that of the Eight Route Army, but in the eyes of Dashi Xiong Erlang, it is still a local chicken and a dog.

On this land, the imperial army has the final say.

He even made up his mind that if the autonomous army surrendered, they would just be used to train the recruits who had just arrived from the island to practice bayonets.

Under the light of the searchlight, one can see clearly that the village ahead is built on a gentle slope.

Outside the village is a low wall that looks very old and dilapidated due to the sun and rain. There is a dark doorway in the middle of the wall, and two wooden doors are closed.

It's a bit like a cottage layout.

A searchlight circle stopped at the door opening.

But no one was seen on the wall.

Hehe, did you think that lighting a few fires outside the village would make the imperial army a target?

Two [-]mm [-] brigade guns were quickly removed from the car and assembled.

Xiong Erlang couldn't help swallowing, he didn't intend to wait until dawn, according to his previous combat experience, after a few shots, the autonomous army reorganized from the village bandits would panic.

From time to time, guards came to report to the deputy about the situation of surrounding the village.

Finally, Xiong Erlang heard the news that the siege had been completed.

Watching his subordinates fiddling with the [-]mm caliber [-] infantry gun, they didn't even install the baffle.

He waved his hand directly.

He didn't even bother to pull out the command knife.

He felt that the time to end the battle should be half an hour later.

嘡嘡
The muzzle of the fist-sized short gun barrel flashed fiercely.

There seems to be little difference between the sound of the [-] infantry gun and the mortar.

The distance is so close, there is no specific target anyway, there is no need for test firing at all, and the bombing is done according to the fence.

The initial velocity of the shells was 200 meters per second, so that the two shells flew for a second and a half with piercing screams, and accurately hit the rammed earth enclosure.

Two groups of flames flashed fiercely, tearing apart the night.

The sound of huge guns broke the silence of the plain, and the searchlights were obscured by the sudden rise of earth fog and gunpowder smoke.

In the Subconscious of the Devil Artillery Observer, the wall should have been blown out a big gap
I couldn't help complaining about the gunner's shooting technique. Based on my feeling, the left-right deviation between the shell's landing point and the door opening was about three meters.

Without a good start, the gate of the village was directly blasted open.

The few soldiers lying on their stomachs behind the wall were startled, and their ears were buzzing.

Just now, my head seemed to be hit by a wall!
Fortunately, I heard from Wang Xiaosan that on the battlefield, devils like to fire a few shots before attacking, so as to undermine the confidence of the defending side.

Therefore, the observers did not hide near the doorway.

Moreover, the devils' shelling will also select the targets in order, and lying near the entrance to the village from the north is the most risky.

The diffuse gunpowder smoke was carried away by the breeze, followed by the dust and mist.

Observers looking out through the firing holes immediately reported the situation: "The wall is intact."

The soldier lying next to him in the hole in the inner wall couldn't help sticking his head out of the shooting hole to see where the bullet hit, and muttered: "The outer wall has been blown to half, so you're ashamed to say it's intact."

"Shut up!" The squad leader next to him warned the guy who dared to poke his head.

The first company commander who managed to escape from the patrol led the soldiers to guard the north gate.

All the perimeter guard soldiers who went out on duty tonight should have been murdered by devils.

Now is not the time to be sad.

The devil infantry didn't come over, and the company commander, full of hatred, suppressed the grief and indignation in his heart, holding his rifle tightly in his hand.

The scene was so quiet that only the sound of his own heartbeat could be heard.

Wow, two cannon shots.

The screech of cannonballs filled the night again.

Then, there were two loud bangs from the wall.

The two-meter-thick rammed-earth wall in the middle once again successfully withstood the shelling.

It's a pity that the two wooden doors in the north of the village couldn't hold on, and were directly blown to pieces by shells.

Four shells exploded into loneliness.

The devils lying on the ground ready to watch the fun were a little confused.

The [-] infantry artillery, as a magic weapon for attacking the city, has not yet been built?
It was quiet for a while.

The ghost messengers stood under the lights and waved their flags, giving orders to attack from east to west.

Some of the devils who were squatting on the ground stood up one after another, raised their rifles, and marched towards the village.

Following the establishment of heavy machine gun positions.

The light machine gun goes forward with the infantry, ready to establish a position at any time for fire suppression.

Mortarists began to adjust the firing parameters.

The muzzles of the six mortars are raised high, ready to fire at any time.

Watching the devils gather and attack under the searchlight in the north.

The observer shouted: "The enemy is coming up, with two heavy machine guns and two light machine guns. They should be attacking in earnest."

A platoon of soldiers, under the command of their respective squad leaders, went up to the wall one after another, and then pulled and pushed the bolts of the guns to check the guns and ammunition.

Followed by more than [-] rifle muzzles aimed at the ghost figure under the searchlight.

The distance is too far, so naturally I can't shoot now.

After entering 200 meters, the devil began to bow his head.

The formation of troops has already been completed, and the battalion commander Wu saw that the devils in the north seemed to be divided into three directions, and the troops were evenly distributed and kept approaching.

The observer's telescope lens swung left and right, reporting the devil's strength, distance and firepower from time to time.

As for whether there were devils attacking in other directions of the village, it was out of his consideration.

Suddenly there was a strange feeling in my heart, the devil's brain seemed to be flooded!

The devils choose the first place to enter the village, which is usually the entrance of the north wall that was blown up.

This gave the defending side a chance, if they could concentrate the machine gun firepower for suppressive shooting.

Facing the dense formation attack of the devils, the first wave can knock down half of the devils!
Keeping the village position, there is a lot of knowledge in the middle.

In the lens of the observer's telescope, the devil slowly pressed forward, and when he reached [-] meters, he was still walking forward.

It seems that the soldiers in the village are not taken seriously at all.

Nobody crawled on the ground at all.

The suppressed heavy machine guns, light machine guns, and various guns seemed to show no signs of firing.

Something like the darkness before the dawn.

It's like the calm before the storm.
