under fire

Chapter 396
Gunshots rang out all night.

It was planned to take the battle of Qi County before dawn. For some reason, those in the city became a position, and those outside the city became a tough battle.

The head of the special agent punched the wall, what are you waiting for, then continue to fight: "Fire! Commander of the third battalion, blow up that Iron King Sanba for me!

The Devils tank entered the street, and after a burst of machine gunfire, two more soldiers were pierced through their chests and fell in a pool of blood. The soldiers of the special task force who had just been replenished nearby were trembling.

In an instant, the sound of gunfire crackled into a large area, and the machine guns on the houses on the devil's wings also joined in, and a barrage of bullets rushed towards the crowd who rushed out of the cover.

The devils behind the tanks were all experienced in many battles. Their advantages were obvious. They had long guns and high shooting accuracy. Perhaps, in less than a minute, the eight roads that rushed out from both sides of the street fell to the ground without exception.

The weapons are no match for the devils. Relying on the weak terrain advantage, they hide between the brick walls of the dilapidated houses on both sides of the street, and keep shooting at the iron king and eight rushing on the street. Although the bullets have eyes, they don't pay any attention to them.

Countless expectant eyes looked at the thrown grenade, which was finally crushed under the tracks of the Devils tank, and then exploded with a bang.

However, the happy heart was instantly cold, and the iron bastard was still moving forward, and the front machine gun was still spewing out tongues of fire.

Balu also has its own strengths. When the devil's bullets came over, the soldiers hiding on both sides quickly lay down on the ground, lowered their heads, and avoided.

The devil's aggressive firepower suppressed the entire army of the Eighth Route Army that rushed to the street, and the Eighth Route Army that hid on both sides of the street did not suffer too many casualties.

The tank roared and rushed straight forward on the street, and the Devil's heavy machine gun fired wildly. Unfortunately, the range of the tank's machine gun was not wide.

If Tie Wangba can't fight, then I will fight the infantry behind.

No matter how fast the Eighth Route Army responded, under the suppression of intensive firepower, it still suffered heavy losses.

The two sides were red-eyed, the soldiers hiding in the house, and the devil infantry following behind the tank, started fighting and fighting from house to house.

Three tanks roared on the three streets, violently sprayed bullets at suspicious places, and wantonly killed and looted on the road full of ruins.

In a complex environment, human legs are of course more flexible than crawlers. Without heavy weapons, the infantry of the Eighth Route Army Special Service Regiment fought against tanks, and they were frustrated or frustrated.

The head of the regiment glared, but there was nothing he could do. No matter how well-trained the secret service regiment was, it was still defeated in the face of powerful firepower.

The devils have too many troops. In addition to attacking the outside of the city, they are freeing up their hands to eliminate the resisters in the city, and they are invincible all the way.

The devils lowered their heads and trotted behind the tanks, holding their guns and attacking the cracks on both sides alternately.

The grenade was obviously exploded under the pressure of the tracks, but there was nothing wrong with the armored monster. How can this battle be fought?
Occasionally, one or two grenades were thrown into the crowd of devils behind, and a grenade that exploded in half did not pose a big threat to the devils at all.

"Withdraw!" Everyone in the secret service team was brave, but facing the absolute strength of the devils, there was no way at all!

Next, they still have to face the hunt of the devils. The head of the regiment doesn't even have much hope for whether he can leave the city, even if there are thousands of people attacking outside the city.

The [-] infantry artillery in the division fired several shells last night, but none of them hit the devil's city gate!

Only a few shallow pits were blown on the city wall!

This is also the reason why the Eighth Route Army has not entered the county until now.

The counterattacks from the Eight Routes that sneaked into the city became sparse, and the captain in charge of the command shook his head. These eight routes are really vulnerable!Immediately report to the Colonel: "Most of the enemies in the city have been wiped out. The security forces have taken over the defense of the street to search and wipe out the enemies. The first and second steps of the plan have been completed. Request to go out of the city to wipe out the enemies!"

"Assemble the troops immediately, leave the city from the south gate, wait for the shelling on the city gate after deployment, the [-]th Squadron will attack from the front, the [-]th Squadron, and the [-]th Squadron will attack the east and west wings!" Here, Colonel's satisfied voice came.

The gate of the city was suddenly opened, and they were hiding in the trenches of the Eighth Route Army where the grenade was hiding. Several binoculars saw this scene, and everyone felt uncomfortable. The gate was not blown open, and there was no violent exchange of fire at the gate. There is only one possibility, and it must be The devils in the besieged county town began to take the initiative to attack, so the special agent team who fought in the city overnight and led the morning would be more or less ominous!
Sure enough, a Tie Wang Ba got out of the city gate full of holes!
Then there was the second car, and then the third car. There was a burst of dust, and a yellow figure emerged from the city gate hole.

After the three Iron Kings came out of the city, they drove straight across the stone bridge on the moat with a roar, and lined up outside the moat. , Occasionally stick out with the helmet on and shoot in the direction of the Eighth Route trench.

On the city wall, Captain Dazuo is commanding ten mortars lined up, waiting for the tanks to attack, and the large-caliber [-]-type infantry curved guns (mortars) will once again attack the trenches dug overnight outside the city. The bombardment took place, then the tanks broke through and the infantry charged.

The devils have already basically grasped the situation of the old opponent, the Eighth Route Army outside the city. There are only about three regiments of troops, two to three thousand people, and they are scattered at the two city gates in the north and south.

This way of fighting is positional warfare, and the devil commander has long since let go of his heart. He never thought about going out of the city through the east and west gates of the few eight roads, and directly attacked from the direction with the most eight roads in the south and the strongest firepower.

Above the city gate, the devils finally began to deploy their actions. The flag bearer held the flag with both hands, and issued orders to the attacking troops ahead with the flag language.

After some coquettish operations, the sound of mortar firing suddenly sounded, and two black spots flew into the air.

After crossing the highest point, it began to fall, and slammed into the trench of the Eighth Route Army one mile away!
Devils test shooting!More than a dozen observers leaned against the crenels of the city wall to carefully observe and measure the impact of the mortar shells.

The grenadiers carried by the Eighth Route Army have insufficient range, and they are already on standby. With the few Jinling-made [-]-type mortars, the shooting parameters have been set early, and they are waiting for the devil infantry to arrive behind the trenches!
The mortar made by Jinling Armory Factory has a caliber of 82 mm, imitating the French Bronde type, but the caliber is one millimeter larger than that of the French model. The reason is that the processing and manufacturing accuracy of the arsenal is insufficient!And the national government cannot produce steel grenades,

The Eighth Route Army did not show weakness. There were only 400 devils leaving the city, and nearly 3000 people from the Eighth Route Army outside the city, ten times the strength of the enemy!
In the trenches, the division commander and the commanders at all levels were all very excited: "I can't fight into the city, and I finally lured you out. I still don't believe it. I can't beat one of you little devils out of ten!"

After the test firing, the Devil mortar immediately adjusted the shooting elevation angle, and a round of shells roared into the sky.

Immediately afterwards, the tank slowly moved forward with the three infantry offensive lines that were overwhelmingly yellow behind.

The Eighth Route Army in the trenches, a few of the Czech style, against the rain of bullets from the devil tanks, alternately and intermittently counter-suppressed the attacking devils.

"Hidden, stop shooting!" The commander of the Eighth Route Army reluctantly issued this order. Soldiers continued to be set off by the devil's shells. More than a dozen counter-suppressive machine guns rained down on the devil's tank. It had no effect, but three more machine guns were knocked down by the machine guns on the Devil's tank.

This way of fighting is not going to work, the machine gun is against the devil tank, the devil hides behind the tank, and the number of targets is reduced. At a distance of two to 300 meters, no accident, the devil will set up a grenadier position again behind the tank.

Hitting the tank with a machine gun like this is a waste of bullets. The Devil's mortars at the city wall station will probably stop firing after that, and the Devil's tank will rush up after a while, and then it will be close combat.

That is the time for the heroic Eighth Route Army soldiers to kill the enemy!
"One platoon from each company stayed behind, and the other troops withdrew to the second trench, and no one was allowed to probe." The regiment leader reacted quickly enough, and immediately took countermeasures. I won't fight with you little devil.

If you have the feeling, you keep attacking. Let me see if your tank can rush through. You have already dug the two-meter-wide trench specially used to deal with tanks!

At that time, if I charge back again, if I can't beat your tank, I will take your weakness and deal with your infantry.

At that time, let the commando get some explosives, and I will believe that you won't be killed if you don't!
The devil's attacking tank fire test did not produce the expected effect.

Because, the commander of the devil tank saw that the trench was too wide for the tanks to get through, so there was no need to take risks, and he directly fought positional warfare with the Eighth Route Army at the edge of the trench.

The eight-way plan to lure the enemy failed, so he ran away in broad daylight.
