The heavy casualties continued to shake the captain's determination to continue attacking.

Seeing that the machine gunners of the last three machine guns of the offensive troops were also killed by the National Saving Army, the captain finally couldn't hold on.

It would be a loss to lose all the attacking troops to hold the national rescue army on the city wall.

At this moment, the best way to break the situation is to replace all the attacking troops with artillery and planes.

However, in order to hold the troops on the city and prevent them from splitting troops to reinforce the west of the city, when artillery and planes attacked the city, they had to send a new siege force to reach more than 200 meters outside the city, and put on an attitude of being ready to attack the city wall at any time, so that the national rescue army would not dare to divide the troops casually.

The retreat order was quickly spread to the attacking troops. The Japanese artillery fire at the top of the city became more and more fierce, as if they wanted to blow the city wall upwards, with gunpowders filled the sky, and gunfire was everywhere.

"The Japanese and puppet troops must run away, strengthen firepower output, and strive to kill another hundred Japanese and puppet troops!" Huang Hu ordered while hugging the fire.

The deputy shooter kept pressing one bullet clip after another into the crooked bullet cabin to ensure that the machine gun firepower was not interrupted.

Huang Hu had almost two hundred bullet shells piled up under his feet, and the machine gun barrel was almost red, but he didn't care about changing the barrel and had no time to replace it.

Seeing that the Japanese and puppet troops were about to slip away from their noses, he had to seize the last chance to kill a few more enemies. Even if he couldn't kill the Japanese, he could kill a few more puppet troops.

Seeing the last puppet army fleeing two hundred meters away, the artillery fire overhead became significantly more dense than before, Huang Hu decisively put away his crooked hand: "Notify the troops to move immediately!"

"We killed almost 300 Japanese and puppet troops in one battle, half of which were Japanese, which was enough. If the remaining seven castles could kill two or three hundred people, we would exceed the combat mission. Even if the remaining Japanese and puppet troops outside the city were placed into the county town, everyone's street fighting pressure would be much less!"

After Huang Hu finished speaking, he ran towards the entrance and exit of the castle with a crooked hand, without even turning his head back...

On the battlefield in the west of the National Salvation Army, in order to open a breakthrough as soon as possible, Colonel Hamano had sent all the troops he could use to the city to participate in the battle, but their assault speed still could not satisfy Major General Aso.

"Battery Commander, more and more Japanese attacks are attacking us. The fifth company has suffered more than half of the casualties and is almost unable to withstand it!" The fifth company commander held a crooked hand and checked for gaps on the defense line. He blocked wherever there was a gap. When he ran to Fangshanlin, he reported with a heartache.

Fang Shanlin glanced at the watch and ordered: "We have been blocking here for twenty minutes, and there is a temporary defense line behind it. The time is almost done!"

"Let everyone act as planned, first use street fighting to hold back the assault speed of the Japanese and puppet troops, and wait until the Japanese and puppet troops reach the second line of defense and block them for twenty minutes. I guess it will be almost done!"

Once the fifth company retreated, the pressure on the Japanese and puppet troops was gone.

The Japanese squad leader hiding behind a broken wall immediately pulled out his command knife, waved forward and shouted: "The National Rescue Army has escaped. Everyone should attack forward immediately. Be sure to bite behind them and fight all the way to the center of the city!"

The Japanese team leader had a very good idea, but the reality was very cruel.

More than forty subordinates formed a battle formation to protect him in the middle of the team and rushed towards a yard not far away.

During the battle just now, the National Salvation Army set up a heavy machine gun in the yard. Now the assault has begun, so we must occupy it as soon as possible.

In order to eliminate the mines and thunders arranged by the National Rescue Army in the streets and alleys, the yards and streets on the road had been blown up, with ruins and shell craters everywhere, so the Japanese attack did not go so smoothly.

But no matter how you analyze it, dozens of people rushed forward fifty meters without any attack.

At this time, they were less than forty meters away from the temporary defense line that the fifth company had just given up.

"Cover with grenades, rifleman rushed over and killed him!" The middle-aged Japanese hiding in the team waved the command knife and ordered with excitement.

"Boom..." A series of violent explosions quickly rang out from the heavy machine gun position not far away, and dozens of Japanese soldiers took the opportunity to attack forward, preparing to occupy the temporary defense line of the National Salvation Army under the cover of grenades.

"Dadada..." The group was about to cross the broken wall and rushed into the machine gun position, and the familiar sound of machine gun strafing suddenly sounded on their flanks.

The sound came from behind a broken wall less than forty meters away from them. The machine guns shot at them desperately through the shooting holes on the broken wall.

Because the surprise attack came too suddenly, three Japanese devils were knocked over on the spot.

The remaining Japanese immediately lay on the ground to fight back, but the shooting hole on the broken wall was too small, and no matter how the Japanese counterattacked, they could not shoot the bullet into the shooting hole, let alone shoot the national rescue army behind the courtyard wall through the shooting hole.

At the same time, four grenades emitting white smoke suddenly flew out from behind the broken wall and swirled towards them.

These grenades were obviously thrown out after delay. Except for one grenade that exploded after it landed on the ground, the remaining three grenades all exploded in the air above the Japanese heads.

The flying fragments rushed towards the Japanese lying on the ground like rain, wantonly reaping their lives.

The Japanese team leader subconsciously hugged his head to prevent any fragments from piercing into his head.

When the explosion ended, I quickly looked up at the broken wall. The sound of machine gun fire had already stopped abruptly. Two figures flashed from their eyes and soon disappeared in the yard behind the broken wall.

The captain was very angry, but he forced his anger down and clenched his fists and ordered calmly: "Baga, the National Savior Army that raided our country and ran away... No matter what they do, we continue to attack forward. As long as we kill to the center of the city, attack inside and outside and kill the National Savior Army in the other three directions, the enemies in the city will sooner or later be wiped out by us!"

The next attack captain did not encounter any new resistance and successfully reached the defense line that the fifth company had just given up, but the captain was not happy at all.

When the assault was just launched, the entire team had 43 people. When the troops were raided by the National Salvation Army, the machine guns came up and killed three subordinates, and two more people were killed in the next shooting. The grenades that followed were the most hated, and the explosion of the volley greatly increased the lethality of the grenades. On average, each grenade killed two subordinates.

Until now, I haven't even seen the body of my opponent, and there are only thirty people left in a full infantry squad.

"Continue to assault forward!" The command of the squadron leader suddenly came.

The team leader could only cheer up and continue to attack forward with his few subordinates...

"Dadada..." The gunshot that the captain didn't want to hear sounded again. This time the gun was closer to him, less than twenty meters away, and two submachine guns and several rifles shot at them at the same time.

As soon as the team leader fell down, he saw five subordinates falling to the ground.

"Sir, the enemy is hiding in the yard on our flank, but the total strength is no more than one squad." Chief Cao, who was lying next to him, immediately made a judgment.

The captain was so angry that he had no place to send a message, so he made a decision on the spot: "I will lead people to attack from the front, and you will take half of your troops to flank the flanks. This time, you must kill all the enemies who attacked us and avenge the warriors who died in battle!"

"Hayi!" Chief Cao immediately took the order.

Get up from the ground and rushed towards a yard not far away with a rifle, with more than a dozen subordinates following him.

They planned to climb over the wall from a nearby yard to touch the sneak attackers, and then raid them from close range.

It went very smoothly at the beginning, and I went over two yards in a row without being attacked.

At this time, there were two yards between the yard where the Japanese and the sneak attackers were located. As long as they continued to attack forward, they could use grenades to blow the other party into minced meat.

"No one in front, everyone climbed over the wall!" Cao Chang seemed to have seen Shengli waved to him again. After confirming that there was no one in the yard in front, he ordered very decisively, and then he was the first to climb over the wall and jumped into the empty yard.

More than a dozen subordinates followed closely and soon all entered the yard.

Just as they were about to enter the next yard, five shooting holes suddenly appeared on the courtyard wall less than ten meters away from them. The black hole barrels of submachine guns and light machine guns emerged from the shooting holes at the same time, and they hugged the fire at them.

The yard was empty and there was no place to hide.

Faced with the sudden fire attack, more than a dozen Japanese were standing in front of the National Salvation Army, waiting to be killed like a living target.

In less than three seconds, more than a dozen Japanese were shot into sieves by two crooked wickets and three submachine guns!

The Japanese squad leader was leading his subordinates to attract firepower from the National Rescue Army. When he heard the sudden heavy gunshots from the flanks of the National Rescue Army, he thought his subordinates had successfully encircled the flanks.

Perhaps in order to make the Japanese squad leader believe in his judgment, the gunshots from behind the courtyard wall also stopped at this moment."

The captain's eyes lit up and immediately organized his subordinates to attack from the front of the yard and cooperated with the surrounding troops to take down the yard.

"Da da da da...b...b...b..."

A dozen people rushed forward for seven or eight meters, and even more dense gunshots suddenly came from behind the courtyard wall, and the gunshots on the flanks of the yard also stopped at this moment.

This time, the National Salvation Army, who was hiding in the yard, used two crooked hands and four submachine guns to deal with them.

The dense bullets instantly enveloped more than a dozen Japanese devils, especially the Japanese squad leader, who was shot into a hornet's nest by four light machine gun bullets on the spot, and fell to the ground and there was no movement...

The same battle took place in every corner of the west of the city.

Although the Japanese and puppet troops quickly occupied the temporary defense line that the fifth company voluntarily gave up, the subsequent attack was more difficult than assaulting one defense line.

On the way forward, almost every yard was hiding ambush from the National Savior Army. Some hid in the dark to throw grenades and grenades, some hid in the dark to fire cold guns, some hid in the dark to raid the Japanese and puppet troops with machine guns at close range, and some used the complex terrain in the city to lure the enemy into depth, ambush the Japanese and puppet troops in the surrounding troops...

At the Japanese siege command center, Major General Aso stood at the observation port and listened to the sound of fire exchange for a long time, and kept surrounding the city walls and did not go deeper into the city. This was abnormal.

Colonel Hamano has transferred all the troops that can be assaulted in the west of the city into the county town, and with the cover of the other three siege troops, to prevent the National Salvation Army from splitting troops from other city gates to reinforce the west of the city. According to the principle, the assault speed of the attacking troops in the west of the city should be very fast, but it seems that this is not the case when listening to the sound of fire exchange.

Major General Aso became more anxious the more he heard it, and felt that the assault troops must have encountered trouble in the city.

Just as he was about to send someone to find out the situation, he asked the assault troops whether they needed heavy artillery and chariot support, Colonel Hamano actually ran over in person.

Seeing Major General Aso was like seeing a savior, he was very anxious to report: "Sir, the National Salvation Army is too cunning. They are fighting street fights with us in the city!"

"Although we occupied their first temporary defense line, the subsequent attack was even more troublesome."

"The National Salvation Army scattered its troops everywhere, using the houses to cover the walls of the courtyard to attack us from all directions. The city was filled with temporary street fighting fortifications built by them. Almost every courtyard wall was dug with a large number of shooting holes. The National Salvation Army hid behind and attacked us, making us unable to defend against it, and there were heavy casualties!"

"Street Fight?" Major General Aso frowned and asked, because this was a question he had never thought about.

The National Salvation Army left behind Jinzhong County, with limited troops, and not even enough defense to defend the city, let alone street fighting!

But as the commander of the brigade, he had been through the battlefield for a long time and must have fought street fighting. After a little analysis, he thought of the way to deal with street fighting and immediately ordered Colonel Hamano: "Let the artillery bomb!"

"The heavy artillery brigade immediately entered the city, and the mortar troops also entered the city, razing all the yards that might hide the enemy to the ground. As long as the National Salvation Army has no place to hide, they will not be able to fight street battles with us, and the problems faced by the offensive troops will naturally disappear."

Colonel Hamano came here to support the heavy artillery. Unexpectedly, before he could come up with the brigade commander himself gave the order.

Immediately receive the order: "Please rest assured, as long as there is heavy artillery support, I will definitely be able to reach the city center within an hour!"

"Boom..." The power of the heavy artillery was very powerful. A shell hit Jinzhong County, and the yard hit by the shell was instantly razed to the ground.

The Japanese and puppet troops, who were troubled by street fighting, were very excited and immediately stopped attacking, waiting for the heavy artillery troops to destroy all the yards ahead.

Fang Shanlin was also shocked. He didn't know if the heavy artillery shell just now hurt his subordinates, but if the Japanese and puppet troops continued to use heavy artillery to attack the yards used by the troops to fight street battles, there would definitely be many soldiers who were not in time to retreat and were killed and injured.

But if the troops were asked to evacuate from those yards and give up their positions, the Japanese and puppet troops would be able to penetrate directly into the city center, and the Second Battalion would not be able to complete the combat tasks assigned by the regiment headquarters.

"Boom..." Several more heavy artillery shells hit the nearby yard. As soon as the shell exploded, the yard where the bomb was located was razed to the ground.

The company commander of the fifth company was very anxious. When he found Fang Shanlin, he reminded him with a look of anxiety: "Battery Commander, the power of the Japanese heavy artillery is too great. We must evacuate the yard quickly, otherwise no matter how many troops there are, the Japanese will not be enough to bomb the Japanese!"

Fang Shanlin's expression on his face was very heavy. As the artillery fire just now hit, he saw with his own eyes the scene of several subordinates being blown into the sky.

If the Japanese heavy artillery troops were allowed to continue to blow up, the Second Battalion would definitely suffer heavy casualties due to the shelling.

"Boom..." Several more heavy artillery shells hit the county town, and almost every heavy artillery shell could destroy a yard...

Faced with this situation, the company commander of the fifth company became even more anxious. Just as he was about to speak again, Fangshanlin finally had some movement.

"No, facing the attack of the Japanese heavy artillery, we not only cannot retreat, but also take the initiative to attack!"

"Those yards that have not been bombed may be attacked by heavy artillery at any time, which is very dangerous. On the contrary, those yards that have been destroyed by heavy artillery cannot be bombed again, which is very safe. Therefore, the best way for us to get rid of the predicament is to hide in the yards that have been destroyed by heavy artillery, and use the ruins and ruins to continue fighting street battles with the Japanese and puppet troops, and slow down their attack speed!"

"Don't retreat but advance?" The fifth company commander was shocked by this decision.

After listening to Zhou Cheng's analysis, the shocked expression on his face became relieved.
