The sky has completely darkened. Under normal circumstances, the Tang Army would temporarily stop attacking at this time, because fighting at night has too many disadvantages for the Tang Army, and is far less comfortable than during the day.
But this time, the Tang army fired flares and began to launch a frantic attack on the Dahua Army's positions in the darkening evening. The Dahua defenders were caught off guard and even lost the outer positions in the southern part of Fengjiang City.
Amidst the continuous artillery fire, the vanguard of the Tang Army's attack rushed into a house on the edge of the city. There were also various ammunition boxes piled on the ground that had not been taken away, and there were some bowls on the table in the room. Come to think of it,
Some Dahua soldiers were having dinner here just now.
"Check the ground carefully! Don't be fooled by booby traps!" The squad leader carried his assault rifle behind his back, grabbed a piece of tissue paper from the table, and looked at the words on it with the help of the light that was not completely dark outside.
Word.
It's nothing important, it's just a list of using ammunition and replenishing ammunition. This seems to be a small arms storage point near the front line, and there probably won't be any important maps or documents.
"Safe!" After checking the entire yard, a Tang Army soldier walked into the room and said to his squad leader: "Everyone ran away, no one was left."
Due to the shelling, the courtyard walls here have collapsed, and there are two huge craters on the edge of the courtyard. The huge shock wave even destroyed the nearby shack along with the walls.
Not far away, you can still see the trenches built by the Dahua troops, but there is no one there now. Another infantry squad has occupied the place and is consolidating the defense line there.
Further ahead is a wall that looks stronger. On the other side of that wall is a factory, which is now abandoned, and half of the chimney can still be seen vaguely.
"This time the commander feels comfortable. We have touched the edge of the Fengjiang River." Through the window, the squad leader looked at the wall, his face filled with the joy of victory.
Their 7th Army was very brave this time. They fought for nearly ten kilometers in one breath, broke through countless enemy defense lines, and finally reached here!
The factory's wall was actually riddled with holes and collapsed in many places. It could be guessed without any investigation that the Dahua troops must have organized a new line of defense based on the outer wall, but they didn't know exactly how many people the other side had deployed.
While he was observing the fence, a No. 4 assault gun supporting the attack of the 7th Infantry Army also parked on the side of the small courtyard. Another infantry squad that followed found some bunkers and began to rest. Many
People took out biscuits and crushed instant noodles to satisfy their hunger.
There is no chance to eat hot meals and dishes on the battlefield, so we can only use the simplest method to replenish our physical strength. The Tang army is pretty good in this regard, but the Dahua army does not have such a wide variety of food.
The squad leader of the infantry squad who came later walked into the room with a rifle and said hello to the squad leader who came first: "How are you? Have you gone to the front to have a look?"
"No, the wall over there looks very quiet. I guess there are at least two machine guns." Pointing to the factory wall in the distance outside the window, the squad leader who came first said.
There were only 7 people left in his infantry squad. He didn't want to continue losing troops here, so he slowed down the attack.
"Let's go first. Do you have machine guns? Can you provide fire support on the flanks?" The squad leader who had just arrived approached the window, looked at it, then retracted his head and suggested.
"Okay, I will lead people to set up machine gun positions on the flanks to cover your approach!" The squad leader who was here earlier nodded and agreed to this arrangement.
"Do you have grenades? Lend me some." The squad leader who came later continued to make his request: "When I go back, I will give you a share of the credit."
"It's not necessary, Zhang Kai, collect everyone's grenades and use them for our brother troops to attack the enemy." The squad leader who came first waved his hand boldly. He really deserved the credit for his collaborative efforts all the way.
When they attacked the Qin army's positions before, as long as half of their battle merits were calculated accurately, their unit would be able to achieve collective merit, and it would be certain that each of them would receive a White Blade Medal.
"Thank you!" The squad leader later nodded and called for people to get the extra grenades and ammunition. They fought all the way to this position, and most of the ammunition was replenished by borrowing from each other.
It is not easy to keep up with ammunition replenishment during an attack, so units need to be rotated, so that the main attacking unit waits for the following units to come up, and then exchanges combat positions or simply allows the following units to hand over their ammunition to the main attacking unit for continued use.
Soon, a new round of attack began. Under the cover of the No. 4 assault gun, the Tang Army's troops began to attack towards the courtyard wall.
Here, the squad leader of the Tang Army, who had arrived at the flank position with his machine gunner, saw the Dahua troops moving near the courtyard wall.
The opponent didn't seem to have many people. A machine gun had already exposed its position and was firing in an attempt to drive back the Tang Army's assault cannon.
"Did you see that machine gun? Hold it down!" Pointing to the enemy machine gun that was spitting flames in the distance, the squad leader ordered loudly.
The shooter who set up the machine gun pointed the muzzle at the enemy machine gun in the distance, then pulled the trigger and started firing.
Due to the pulling force, the bullet chain hanging on the side of the machine gun jumped, and several bullet casings fell down, hitting the soil with a clanking sound.
As soon as the unique sound of the tearing machine rang out, the machine gun on the Dahua troop position immediately stopped moving. The bullet hit the spot where the machine gun had just fired, filling the area with a cloud of white smoke.
Soon, Dahua's defenders discovered a Tang Army machine gun position on their flank, and seven or eight soldiers tried to get closer to remove this threat.
They carried weapons and approached along the base of the courtyard wall, but were suppressed by the firepower of the assault rifle in the hands of the squad leader on the way.

The other party did not expect that the Tang army's firepower could be so fierce, so they retreated in embarrassment, leaving only two or three shot corpses on the way.
The battle in the distance was still going on. The rolling track in front of the Tang Army's No. 4 assault gun smashed a section of the courtyard wall, scaring the surrounding Dahua defenders into running away with their heads in their hands.
The Tang army that followed began to throw grenades at the other side of the courtyard wall. A series of explosions raised smoke that covered the sky, and the defense line of the Dahua defenders began to collapse.
Some soldiers dropped their weapons and knelt down to surrender. Some soldiers took their weapons and began to flee into the factory. Then the fleeing defenders were knocked to the ground by bullets from behind and lay down next to the factory.
Some other lucky Dahua soldiers ran around the corner and hid behind the factory building, but the battle on this side of the courtyard wall continued.
The remaining Dahua defenders who did not surrender or escape were still fighting. They relied on their incomplete positions and fired wildly at the No. 4 assault gun.
A bullet hit the armor of the assault gun, causing a splash of sparks. The Tang Army soldier who was following the assault gun seemed to be hit by the ricocheted bullet, and turned over and fell to the ground.
The comrades behind him immediately stepped forward and dragged him to a relatively safe place. Only then did they see the ricochet hit the unlucky comrade's arm, making a bloody hole.
"You're okay! He was just shot in the arm!" Seeing his comrades on the ground screaming, the comrade who rescued him shouted loudly.
Along with his shouts, the assault gun in front of them fired a shell, making a loud bang that made everyone temporarily unable to hear any sound.
The machine gunner following the tank lay down next to the ruins of a bunker, and then pointed the machine gun at the enemy position that was still resisting.
The deputy shooter held the ammunition chain and waited for the shooter to be ready to fire. The sound of the tearing machine sounded again, and the dense tracer bullets looked like lasers against the darkening sky, which looked particularly dazzling.
"Over there! Over there!" The deputy shooter had a relatively good view. He saw Dahua soldiers trying to retreat and pointed to the distance to remind his shooter loudly.
The shooter adjusted the firing angle of the machine gun and directly knocked down the Dahua soldiers who jumped out of the trench bunker.
The battle was still going on, and the Tang army that followed had already crossed the factory wall. They rushed into the factory, and fierce gunshots were heard inside.
The Dahua troops had to abandon these useless abandoned factories, leaving behind some damaged machines and some ammunition stored here, and rout towards another factory in embarrassment.
But before they could escape into another factory, the No. 4 assault gun fired a new shell, which directly penetrated the wall of the factory and collapsed a section of the factory.
The Dahua army, who thought they had found a new bunker, were even more embarrassed. They exited the factory where they were hiding in disgrace. As soon as they came out, they were knocked to the ground by the Tang army soldiers waiting outside.
The intensive gunfire continued. Just when the Tang army thought they had captured the factory, the Dahua troops organized a large-scale counterattack.
This time, the Dahua troops began to attack, while the Tang army defended the factory that had become half a ruin.
The two sides fought fiercely for this unimportant place, and gunshots rang out throughout the night. In the middle of the night, the Tang army also carried out artillery bombardment on the outside of the factory, and the momentum was simply earth-shattering.
The offensive of the Dahua counterattack force became weak after the shelling, probably because they were worried that if they continued to increase troops here, they would be blocked by more intense artillery fire.
Finally, when the next morning arrived, the factory was still under the control of the 7th Infantry Army of the Tang State. They invaded the urban area of Fengjiang City, and they fulfilled their promise.
Although more than 1,000 Tang soldiers were killed on the offensive path during the whole day's battle, the Tang army's overwhelming offensive also completely made the Qin and Dahua armies realize that the enemy they faced was an enemy armed with steel.
A powerful monster with teeth.
