I am God of War in Snow Leopard

Chapter 114: Attacking Ximen
South of the city, the Japanese Army Command.

The adjutant sent by Riichiro Katayama ran back in panic, saluted the old Japanese soldier Katayama who was anxiously waiting for news: "Report, brigade commander, the Chinese Army in the city suddenly launched a massive counterattack against my forward position.

The enemy's firepower was very fierce, the forward positions suffered heavy casualties, and were suppressed by the opponent's heavy firepower. We requested urgent tactical guidance. "

Riichiro Katayama frowned and said, "It's strange, what do these damned Chinese troops want to do? Even if they want to break through, they shouldn't be from the south of the city?"

Ying Mori next to him said: "General, Xu Qingfeng is very cunning, most likely a conspiracy."

Katayama Riichiro pondered for a while, and immediately ordered Takamori Takashi: "Takamori-kun, send troops to support the forward positions right away.

No matter what the Chinese army wants to do, first contain their offensive. "

"Hai!" Takashi Takamori suddenly nodded, and hurriedly led hundreds of Japanese soldiers to the frontline for reinforcements.

At this time, a devil's communications adjutant ran from behind in a hurry.

Saluted Katayama Satoichiro and said: "Report to Your Excellency, Commander Takeshita Toshi outside the west gate is calling.

He said that the Chinese army's attack on the South Gate does not rule out that they really want to break out from the South Gate, or take the opportunity to raid your headquarters.

Therefore, Commander Takeshita Toshi reminds you to pay attention to safety, and if necessary, troops can be transferred from the east gate to strengthen the defense of the south gate. "

Katayama Riichiro snorted angrily and said, "Tell Takeshita Jun to guard the west gate, so as not to fall into the trick of the Chinese army."

Obviously, Riichiro Katayama didn't like Takeshita Toshi's reminder that he was acting on his behalf.

The adjutant felt bored and had no choice but to bow his head and accept the order to leave.

On the devil's forward position, the Eighth Company's attack continued, relying on the cover of fire from the machine gun company and the artillery company.

With their forces at a disadvantage, they made a huge offensive momentum.

In addition, it was night, and the devils who were already bombed could not distinguish their reality from reality.

For a while, he was pinned down and beaten, and it was difficult to fight back.

Not to mention taking advantage of the situation to fight back.

This is very beneficial to the Eighth Company, which has a small number of troops.

Because, Zhang Zhijian and the soldiers of the Eighth Company could carry on the feint attack with the least cost of casualties.

Because it was a feint attack, not far after rushing out of the city gate, Zhang Zhijian ordered the soldiers to lie down. Relying on the craters left over from the previous battle and the corpses of the Japanese, they started a firefight with the Japanese forward positions.

In this way, from the devil's point of view, the Huben camp in the city was full of shouts and gunshots.

The firepower was as dense as rain, constantly pouring towards them.

The situation was very critical, so many devils could only brave the intensive firepower from the south gate, forcefully stand up and fire back.

But it had not yet caused effective damage to Zhang Zhijian and other Eighth Company soldiers.

They were hit by the machine gun company on the city wall of the south gate, and the condescending and intensive firepower was fired. In an instant, the blood mist from the beating burst out, and they fell to death in the trenches.

However, this situation did not last long.

With Takashi Takamori leading hundreds of reinforcements to arrive, the troops and firepower on the devil's forward position have been greatly strengthened, and the firepower for counterattacks has naturally increased accordingly.

However, Takamori Takashi did not dare to attack rashly because he did not know the details of Zhang Zhijian and the others.

In this way, the two sides fired fiercely across the trench bomb crater bunker, and fought fiercely for about half an hour.

Xu Qingfeng, who was at the west gate, felt that the heat was almost there, so he ordered someone to call and send an order to the south gate troops, asking them to stop the feint attack and withdraw into the city.

After receiving the telegram, Lei Xiong, the commander of the machine gun company, immediately sent someone to notify Zhang Zhijian and the eighth company officers and soldiers outside the city to retreat.

He himself commanded the machine gun company and continued to rain bullets on the Japanese forward positions to cover the retreat of the machine gun company.

Before that, Wang Tiezhu's artillery company had already withdrawn in advance according to Xu Qingfeng's prior deployment.

At this moment, they have already arrived at the west gate, and are stepping up to re-arrange the artillery and arrange artillery positions.

After Zhang Zhijian was notified, he immediately retreated with the officers and soldiers of the Eighth Company and the puppet captured soldiers.

These more than 200 puppet captured soldiers, because the main force of the Eighth Company was holding the battle, although they were afraid, they did not dare to cause any trouble.

Zhang Zhijian gave an order, and they quickly got up and retreated.

Relying on the fierce fire cover of the machine gun company on the city wall, the officers and soldiers of the Eighth Company quickly withdrew into the city one after another.

Although it was unavoidable to be strafed by devils during the retreat, and there were a few casualties, the main force basically withdrew to the city.

As the eighth company withdrew into the city, Lei Xiong also ordered the machine gun company to stop shooting, and quickly moved along the city wall towards the west gate, armed with guns.

Zhang Zhijian didn't stop either, and immediately led the main force of the Eighth Company and the captured officers and soldiers along the base of the city wall, one after another with the machine guns, and marched towards the west gate at the same time.

Only a dozen officers and soldiers of the Eighth Company were left at the south gate to monitor the movement of the Japanese army and to control the minefields that had been laid in advance.

The Eighth Company distributed more than 3000 catties of high explosives at the south gate, and almost all of them were buried in the area inside the city gate.

Just wait for the devils to enter the city and give them a big gift.

On the side of Ximen City, the machine gun company, the eighth company and the remaining more than 100 captive soldiers arrived one after another.

Xu Qingfeng immediately asked Liang Shan beside him, "Is the artillery company ready?"

As soon as the words were finished, a figure ran towards him quickly, and when he got closer, he realized that it was Wang Tiezhu, the commander of the artillery company.

A good one said Cao Cao, Cao Cao arrived.

Xu Qingfeng turned to ask: "Commander Wang, how is your artillery company's preparations going?"

Wang Tiezhu immediately stood up to attention and replied: "Report to the battalion commander, everything is ready and can fire at any time!"

"According to the pre-war deployment, fire immediately!" Xu Qingfeng ordered sternly and picked up an MP18 submachine gun.

"Yes!" Wang Tiezhu responded, immediately turned back to the artillery position and ordered to fire.

Holding a gun in one hand, Xu Qingfeng led the way to the entrance of the city gate, and said in a deep voice to the people following him, "Wait a minute!"

At this time, after Wang Tiezhu went back, he had already commanded the artillery to open fire.

Illumination bombs were fired out of the city one after another, bursting out with extremely dazzling light, which instantly illuminated the Japanese positions outside the city as if it were daytime.

In order to facilitate the artillery company to lock the light and heavy machine gun firepower of the Japanese positions in time, Wang Tiezhu led the artillery to erect all the cannons on the west gate wall.

Not to mention being condescending, he was able to have a panoramic view of the Japanese army's positions.

Seeing that the flares had been fired, Xu Qingfeng immediately pulled down the bolt, and shouted at Sun Kui, Zhang Zhijian, Chen Qifeng, Yu Tianzhao, Zhang Tianfu and other officers and soldiers who had already gathered behind him: "Brothers, success or failure depends on one action. Come with me!"

As soon as he finished speaking, the soldiers who had been prepared quickly opened the city gate.

Sun Kui, Zhang Tianfu and others took the lead and rushed out in a swarm with the officers and soldiers of the Ninth Company.

At the same time, the officers and soldiers of the machine gun company who had already set up light and heavy machine guns against the parapet on the top of the city, also under the command of the company commander Lei Xiong, suddenly opened fire.

More than 20 light and heavy machine guns roared one after another, shooting out dazzling tongues of flame, forming a large rain of bullets, pouring towards the forward position of Takeshita Shun's command.

There were artillery flares, and their strafing shots were completely aimed at the devils' positions.
