Chapter 788 The brigade commander is blinded (two chapters in one!)(1/2)
Disappointedly, no new firepower points appeared on the city wall.
Not only that, a large amount of fire broke out in the middle of the attacking troops, and Major General Aso clearly saw the scene of the temptation troops being covered with gunpowder and flames.
In addition to being shocked, Major General Aso finally understood the conspiracy of the National Saving Army at the city wall and cursed: "Bageya Road, the National Saving Army is indeed a difficult opponent. They actually thought of using grenades to block the siege troops to prevent the blocking firepower points on the city wall from being exposed to us."
"The test troops were finished, and the firepower points placed on the city wall were not forced out. The first round of the fight between the two sides ended in our miserable defeat. It was unbelievable!"
The front team leader Colonel Hamano and the two team leaders were also shocked by this sudden accident. Unexpectedly, the National Salvation Army used only more than 100 grenades to smash its tentative attack.
Even though they were shocked, their reaction was not slow at all.
Although the tentative troops did not force out the blocking firepower point on the city, the more than 100 grenades suddenly flew out of the city, which indicated that there were more national rescue troops hidden there.
Even if they cannot determine their specific location, as long as the shells hit the city, there are enough numbers, the blind cat can kill several soldiers of the National Savior Army when they encounter dead mice.
Colonel Hamano could not have let more than 100 people in the temptation army die in vain.
The moment the grenade exploded, the word "fire" roared out of his mouth at the same time.
In less than five seconds, three fireballs rose from the city head a few hundred meters away, and several sandbags were blown into the sky in the splashing flames.
"Dingling..." The phone behind Major General Aso suddenly rang.
The telephone soldier grabbed the microphone and heard it less than a minute before running behind Major General Aso: "Sir, the attacking troops in the east of the city reported that their tentative attack was shattered by the National Salvation Army!"
"The National Salvation Army put our troops at the foot of the city wall before starting to fight back. More than one hundred grenades fell from the sky, and they tried to test that one out of ten offensive troops had to evacuate the battle!"
"Baga!" Major General Aso knew that the attacking troops in the east of the city were also blocked by the attacking troops in the west of the city.
At this moment, dense explosions also came from the south and north of the city.
Major General Aso's heart skipped a beat, realizing that the temptation troops in those two directions also encountered an unexpected accident.
As expected, less than three minutes after this thought appeared, the phone ringing of the command center rang again, and the report that the telephone soldier followed was almost the same as his judgment.
Colonel Hamano also ran back from the offensive position and looked at Major General Aso with an anxious look on his face: "General, the national rescue army is too cunning. Our tentative attack just now did not play any role, and we also lost more than one hundred subordinates in vain."
"Weizhi recommends suspending the attack and fight after the air force comes!"
"The aircraft can stare at the every move of the National Salvation Army from the sky, launch attacks from the sky, eliminate suspicious targets, and cover infantry assaults. It can also serve as our eyes and guide artillery troops to attack targets!"
Major General Aso shook his head: "It's useless!"
"The National Salvation Army is very cunning. They will definitely not let the planes see their every move easily."
"I have a bombing operation about the National Salvation Army. You can take a look: After the Imperial Army threw away Jinzhong for the second time, in order to prevent the city from falling into the National Salvation Army, the military department specially dispatched three bombers to destroy the arsenal of Jinzhong County."
"As a result, the National Salvation Army actually released a large amount of thick smoke around the arsenal to block the sky and the sun, so as to block the pilot's vision."
"If it weren't for the large enough area of the arsenal and the storage of a large number of weapons and ammunition, as long as one aviation bomb hits the target, it would cause a death-destruction and razor the ammunition depot to the ground, all the eighteen aviation bombs carried by the three aircraft might not be able to complete the bombing mission."
"Compared with the arsenal, the city wall is narrower. If the National Salvation Army releases black smoke on the city wall, our aviation force will not be able to locate the bombing target and blindly throw bombs at the ground. The chance of a blind cat hitting the mouse is too low."
"So even if the military department supports our aviation troops to arrive at the battlefield, the role they can play is very limited!"
"If you want to take the city and break into Jinzhong County, what you really need to rely on is the infantry and the heavy artillery troops behind us."
"Aviation forces can only play some auxiliary roles."
"If there are fire points on the top of the city that one or two heavy artillery can't destroy, the artillery can fire smoke bombs at the fire, and then contact the aviation force to drop bombs at the smoke bombs to destroy the target!"
"If the plane cannot destroy the target, then we can only use our last killer weapon: poison gas bomb!"
Colonel Hamano frowned deeper as he heard it.
Before coming here, he was full of expectations for the military's aircraft support.
After listening to the analysis of the brigade commander, the expression of expectation on his face gradually became heavier.
He frowned and hesitated for a while and asked back, "What should we do next?"
"Continue to launch a tentative attack until all the firepower points arranged by the National Salvation Army on the top of the city were forced out!" Major General Aso pressed his teeth and ordered.
"Only by determining their firepower points can our artillery launch targeted attacks, and the air force that arrives can also launch targeted attacks. Otherwise, no matter how many shells we bring, it will not withstand the huge consumption brought by blind shooting."
"Draw troops to attack again. If it doesn't work, we will use other attack methods!"
"But the temptation troops dispatched this time need to change, and we cannot just let the Imperial Army go to the army!"
"I passed my order. The four siege troops will each draw an infantry squadron and a battalion of the Imperial Army to launch a new round of attacks on the city walls. All artillery units will be in place. When the firepower points arranged by the National Salvation Army on the city are exposed, they will fire on me. I don't want so many troops to force out the firepower points on the city. "
Ten minutes later, a new round of Japanese offensive officially began.
The city was filled with thick smoke that the Japanese army had just exploded with shells, but there was no sign or a gunshot.
More than 400 Japanese and puppet troops rushed out of the attacking positions, and many Japanese and puppet troops were carrying explosives.
If the National Salvation Army plans to use grenades to repel the tentative troops, there will definitely be a large number of Japanese and puppet troops avoiding the grenade rain and rushing to the foot of the city wall.
It only takes a dozen explosive packs to explode a huge gap in the city wall.
The National Salvation Army will definitely not take risks. Watch the Japanese and puppet troops deliver explosive packs to the foot of the city wall, so they will definitely use machine gun fire points in advance. First, kill some offensive troops from a distance, and then use grenades to blew them up, and cooperate with each other to block the offensive forces from the test troops.
This was the combat plan that Major General Aso had already thought of, and he was full of confidence in the next tentative attack. As soon as the offensive troops set off, he ordered the mountain artillery troops and the heavy artillery troops to prepare for shooting.
When the Japanese mortar troops fired blindly at the west end of the city, Fang Shanlin took the Fourth Company into the castle to avoid artillery fire.
At this moment, he was squatting in a machine gun castle, observing every move of the Japanese and puppet troops outside the city through the shooting hole, and sighing while watching.
"The Japanese have enough capital. We just destroyed more than 100 people. We immediately dispatched more than 400 people to continue attacking us. It seems that they have not been hurt by us yet!"
"Battery Commander, how can we fight this time? Should we expose a few more machine gun castles and keep all the more than 400 Japanese and puppet troops outside the city!" The fourth company commander's eyes shone and suggested.
Fang Shanlin shook his head: "There are too many more than 400 Japanese and puppet troops, and they are divided and dispersed. Even if all twenty-four machine gun castles are fired, they will not be able to keep them all. Moreover, we don't have so many light and heavy machine guns!"
"The combat plan remains unchanged. The first round of shooting first exposed ten machine gun castles. The enemy rushed to 100 meters and then fired. All the light and heavy machine guns were aimed at the Japanese behind the puppet army. After a round of firepower attacks, all machine gun positions were freely fired. In the past, there were many Japanese and puppet soldiers. Each machine gun team tried to kill twenty Japanese and puppet troops for me. Riflesmen fired freely, and they must not let a Japanese and puppet army approach the city wall thirty meters!"
The battle began very suddenly. Nearly two hundred Japanese and puppet troops followed the puppet troops with rifles. While scolding the puppet troops in front of them to walk faster, they stared at the city wall vigilantly, not letting go of any movement there.
"Dongdongdongdong...dakdada..."
The moment the light and heavy machine gun suddenly fired, these Japanese rush to the ground like conditioned reflexes.
But no matter how fast they are, they cannot match the speed of the bullets.
The moment they were about to lie down, hundreds of bullets had already flew towards them.
"Shits...baga!"
The sound of the bullet drilling into the Japanese body was clearly visible, and then a series of curses from the Japanese were heard.
At least forty Japanese were under the crazy shooting of twelve light and heavy machine guns and more than one hundred rifles.
The castle was built inside the city wall, and was at least four meters high across the ground. The bullets fired by the fourth company flew down toward the Japanese. Even if the surviving Japanese lie down in time, the bullet rain from the sky would easily penetrate into their backs.
If an ordinary machine gun bullet hits the body and fails to hit the vital point, the Japanese can still save their lives.
If you are hit by a heavy machine gun bullet, you will lose your life even if you don’t hit the vital point.
After the first round of firepower attacks of fifteen light and heavy machine guns ended, more than half of the Japanese in an infantry squadron had been injured and killed.
The puppet army, who was secretly grateful in front of them, had just fallen down, and the rain of bullets followed closely behind them hit their backs.
When the Japanese army's front enemy command center saw the attacking troops suddenly attacked, more than a dozen machine gun fire points suddenly appeared on the city wall. Major General Aso not only did not scold people, but was very excited.
He waved his fists and shouted: "The artillery troops fired immediately and destroyed the firepower points on the city walls for me. The machine gun covers it, and the offensive troops continue to assault forward!"
"As long as the artillery is accurate and quickly destroy the firepower points on the city wall, maybe we can take the head of the city after this attack!"
Colonel Hamano hesitated for a moment and reminded: "General, should I send another infantry squadron to reinforce the offensive troops?"
"The firepower of the National Salvation Army just now was too sudden, and the attacking troops suffered heavy casualties. I am afraid that the heavy artillery troops would destroy the firepower points on the city, and the attacking troops would be weak after they could not continue to attack the city."
Major General Aso decisively ordered: "Take two infantry squadrons to stand by, don't rush up first, they will go up after the counterattack of heavy artillery is effective!"
"Hayi!" Colonel Hamano also became full of confidence and immediately went to execute the order.
Major General Aso raised his telescope again, trying to witness the scene of the fire point on the city head being destroyed by heavy artillery.
The heavy artillery troops reacted very quickly. Within a minute of the firing order, an explosion of "rumbling..." came from the city.
Although it is daytime, Major General Aso still sees the exciting scene of fire flying and smoke rising into the air.
This bullet point is only three or four meters away from the machine gun fire point. With the power of heavy artillery, even if sandbags are piled around the machine gun position, it will be razed to the ground.
Major General Aso determined that the firepower of the machine gun had been completed, and the current situation was indeed similar to what he had judged.
The corners of his mouth just raised, and before he could have time to be happy, a picture that made him stunned appeared.
The fire point, which was less than three seconds silent, sounded a straggling sound again, and the bullets flew towards the attacking troops, constantly killing and injuring the attacking troops who were lying on the ground.
In the blink of an eye, this machine gun that fired again killed three subordinates...
Major General Aso was confused, Major General Hamano was confused, and the Japanese and puppet troops who were attacking on the battlefield were also confused, and they all showed a stunned expression.
They were very close to the city wall, and they could clearly feel the power of heavy artillery shells.
The moment the shell exploded, all of them thought that the firepower had been finished and were ready to continue to attack forward.
As long as the heavy artillery destroys a few more machine gun fire points, they can continue to assault the city.
I never expected that this fire point was not destroyed.
Faced with this change, the Japanese and puppet troops who survived the attacking troops were desperate, and many people still had the idea of retreating.
To be continued...
