Chapter 1570 The house leaks and it rains overnight
"Sir, our way back is blocked!" The second lieutenant who led the team was lucky enough not to be killed. He ran all the way to the captain and reported with a sad face.
"Have you seen their identities clearly?" the captain asked immediately.
This is the issue he is most concerned about. If it is determined that the other party is an enemy rather than a friend, then the next battle will be difficult to fight.
The team leader hesitated and reported: "I only saw them wearing the uniforms of the Imperial Association Army?"
"Imperial Alliance Army?" the captain asked with a look of disbelief on his face.
I didn't expect such a result even though I was beaten to death. I frowned and fell into deep thought, mentally analyzing the purpose of these Imperial Alliance troops: Are they really resisting the Imperial Army, or are they attacking the Imperial Army because they don't want to go to the battlefield...
"Sir, the troops blocking the gap are almost exhausted!" a squadron leader suddenly interrupted.
The explosion at the gap a few hundred meters away continued, but there were very few imperial troops left active there. The sandbags filling the gap obviously could not keep up with the consumption rate. Unknowingly, the gap had expanded to four or five meters wide.
The lowest point is less than three meters from the ground.
The blasted loess and masonry have formed a gentle slope on both sides of the gap.
As long as you are fast enough, you can rush into the city from the gap without catching any tools?
The captain's first subconscious reaction was to continue deploying troops to plug the gap, but he swallowed the words as soon as they came to his lips.
The garrison in the north of the city lost more than 200 people last night, and just after closing the gap, they lost more than 300 people. The troops receiving reinforcements lost another infantry squad, and more than half of the more than 1,000 people under their command had already been lost.
If you mobilize troops to plug the gap, you will have no troops left.
Moreover, this can only ensure that the gap does not expand within ten minutes at most. When the troops are blown up again, the gap will continue to expand.
Hundreds of imperial troops only bought themselves ten minutes, and not a single Eighth Route Army was eliminated.
Since this is a loss-making business, it must not be done.
Rather than being killed by artillery shells while blocking the gap, it is better to wait for the Eighth Route Army to rush into the city from the gap and fight them desperately. Even if you exchange one life for another, it will take longer than blocking the gap, and you can kill many before dying.
The Eighth Route Army died a worthy death.
"Ignore the gap!" The captain decided to change his approach.
"The Fourth Squadron will immediately build a new line of defense behind the gap. I will turn the gap that the Eighth Route Army worked hard to blast into their own tomb."
"The others will stay here. After the bombardment is over, they will all go up to the city wall and attack the Eighth Route Army's attacking troops from a high position. They will kill as many as they can and hold them back at all costs."
"What should we do with the Imperial Army behind us?" asked the leader of the first squadron.
The captain wanted to catch them all and chop off their heads with his own hands.
But there were too few soldiers in hand, and the Eighth Route Army's offensive outside the city was fierce. The bad situation simply did not allow him to do this, so he could only order with a look of helplessness.
"Ignore them, as long as they do not take the initiative to attack the city wall, we will concentrate our troops and firepower on the Eighth Route Army attacking outside the city. They are the enemy that poses the greatest threat to us."
"If my guess is correct, the Imperial Army hiding behind us must have opened fire on us because they didn't want to join the war. They certainly didn't have the guts to take the initiative to attack us."
"Rumble..."
In the violent explosion, another section of the city wall was blown down, and the thick bricks and loess poured down like a waterfall, piling up on both sides of the city wall to form a gentle slope.
More than a hundred Japanese soldiers quickly rushed to the back of the gap, used the houses and yards behind the city wall to build a defense line, and watched the gap getting bigger and bigger, ready to stand ready.
Fifty meters behind them, several "puppet soldiers" were confirming the location of the Japanese firepower points one by one, and then disappeared into the night like ghosts of harvest.
Five minutes later, the heavy artillery fire finally stopped.
The captain and the remaining soldiers rushed to the top of the city without hesitation, hid behind the battlements that had not been blown up, and watched closely outside the city.
"The Eighth Route Army has begun to attack!" the squadron leader of the first squadron shouted, holding the command knife tightly.
Three hundred meters away, hundreds of Eighth Route Army figures slowly appeared on the battlefield. Holding guns and holding machine guns, they formed a skirmish line and slowly approached the city wall.
Several armored vehicles and armed vehicles could be vaguely seen among the infantry, heading straight for the gap in the city wall.
Not surprisingly, they are the real trump card of this offense.
"Fire with all your strength and be sure to drive back the enemy!" the captain shouted with a sharp wave.
Then he changed his command knife into a rifle and shot outside the city with his men.
Soon there was loud gunfire on the city wall, and intensive heavy machine gun fire echoed outside the city. It was the Eighth Route Army using heavy machine guns to cover the infantry assault.
Behind the gap, more than a hundred Japanese soldiers stood still, preparing to wait for the Eighth Route Army to emerge from behind the gap before shooting.
But the hidden troops did not give them this chance.
Suddenly, two grenades with white smoke fell from the sky and hit a Japanese heavy machine gun position.
The sound was very small, but it still attracted the attention of a machine gunner.
He reacted very quickly, and subconsciously threw himself on the ground, holding his head...
As soon as he finished these actions, "Boom boom..." two explosions rang in his ears, and a stinging pain spread rapidly from his thighs throughout his body.
The machine gunner knew he was injured and immediately called his comrades around him to come over and help.
Unfortunately, except for the screams, no one responded to him...
After several machine gun positions were inexplicably blown up, the Japanese blocking the gap finally realized the danger: "Sir, there are enemies behind us!"
"Half of all positions should be defended behind them," the squadron leader gave the temporary order.
The battlefield was so chaotic that the ordering soldier was killed before even a few people could receive the order.
Moreover, the latent troops have already clearly understood the deployment of their troops. Even if the Japanese army allocates half of its troops to defend the rear, it will be difficult to prevent the latent troops from approaching the yard where they are hiding...
The house leaked and it rained continuously all night. When the Japanese army tried their best to deal with the enemies emerging from behind, the gap more than ten meters wide also ushered in the Eighth Route Army's attacking troops.
"The Eighth Route Army has reached the gap. Shoot them all and destroy them there." The squadron leader shouted at the top of his lungs.
The subordinates around him were the first to react. A light machine gun and seven or eight rifles opened fire at the same time.
Other positions were just the opposite, as if no orders had been received. Apart from sporadic rifle fire, almost no light machine guns participated in the battle.
"Baga, why aren't our machine guns firing?" the squadron leader said anxiously.
The Eighth Route Army who rushed to the gap did not rush in and die.
First, establish a machine gun position and suppress the only light machine gun around you. Then the riflemen cross the gap and rush towards everyone. In just a few seconds, a platoon of Eighth Route Army troops has already crossed the gap. If the other machine guns don't fire,
Block them.
In ten seconds at most, these people can rush in front of everyone and kill themselves with grenades...
Unfortunately, no matter how he shouted, no one around him responded to his orders, and no light machine guns joined the battle.
Not only that, the explosions around him became more intense, and they got closer and closer to me...
