"Regiment commander, do you want the second battalion to withdraw first, and wait for the artillery company to bombard a few more rounds before launching an attack......

The chief of staff beside Li Zhilong reminded anxiously.

Li Zhilong, who had no other way for the time being, could only decisively order: "Second battalion, withdraw immediately......

"The mountain artillery company is on standby, as long as the second battalion withdraws from the firing range, it will immediately fire on the city wall......"

The devil who defends the city wall is not stupid, and when the attacking troops retreat, they know that their enemy is going to be **.

Therefore, the second battalion retreated, and nearly a thousand devils were guarding the city wall.

Except for a few men left as observation posts, the rest were all removed from the city walls and prepared to hide from the artillery fire.

Nearly a thousand devils, just two-thirds of the way out, the scream of shells across the sky sounded over the battlefield.

Soon, violent explosions sounded at the head of the city, round after round.

Because the devil retreated in time, the six mountain guns of the mountain artillery company only blew up one tail of the devil, and even the devil's squad was not eliminated.

As the artillery silenced, light and heavy machine-gun fire began to ring out outside the city.

The devils hiding at the foot of the city wall immediately rushed to the head of the city and began to counterattack.

Like the attack of the second battalion just now, although the devil's heavy machine gun was so pressed that he couldn't raise his head, he couldn't shoot.

However, the devil infantry is not a vegetarian.

Before the third battalion could rush to a position of 100 meters from the city wall, a platoon of brothers fell under the accurate fire of the devil riflemen.

"No, the shelling just now didn't cause any damage to the devil at all! The devil's strength to defend the head of the city is not ...... at all."

Li Zhilong, who clenched his fists, said with a frown.

"It must be that when we shelled, the devils withdrew from the city, so that our shelling was ineffective......"

The chief of staff with a solemn face said.

Li Zhilong nodded and replied: "Only this is possible?" ”

Then, the tone of words changed, and he said with a serious face: "We must find a way to let the mountain artillery company exert its power...... Only the artillery fire of the mountain artillery company can kill and injure the devil at this moment......" "It's hard to ......," the chief of staff shook his head and said. "Devils are not fools and will not listen to us...... As long as we retreat, they will retreat. Never going to give us the slightest chance, I think there's another way, right? At this time, Li Zhilong also shook his head. Just when the chief of staff thought that Li Zhilong was ready to give up this idea, a touch of murderous aura suddenly emanated from Li Zhilong. Before the chief of staff could react, Li Zhilong decisively ordered: "Order the mountain artillery company to immediately bombard the head of the city...... "Regiment commander." You say now...... However, our brothers have not yet retreated. Now the shelling, it is likely that there will be accidental injuries...... Please think ......twice, the regiment commander," the chief of staff, who looked shocked, subconsciously asked rhetorically. At this time, Li Zhilong continued to order in his non-negotiable tone: "You heard it right, it's ...... the shelling now" "Only if we attack, the devils will guard the city wall, and our shelling will work." "Also, the commander is running out of time for us, only to gamble. We have a chance to break through the south gate of the devil's heavy defense in a short period of time and enter the county ......" "Woo woo woo ......" Soon, the scream of shells crossing the sky sounded on the battlefield. In the face of the sudden artillery attack, the devils in the city had not had time to react, and the violent explosion of shells sounded at the head of the city. Dozens of devils who were desperately firing bullets outside the city didn't even make a sound before they were knocked to the ground by the shells. The devil who defended the head of the city. It was immediately understood the purpose of the artillery bombardment of the besieging forces at this time. In order to keep the limited defenders holding out longer, and also to avoid giving the attacking troops outside the city an opportunity. Shao Zuo immediately made a decision, and ordered loudly: "First squadron, continue to hold the head of the city...... The others immediately retreated to avoid shelling. "The order is under the Great Queen. Shao Zuo was escorted by several guards and rushed to the nearest staircase. And just then, the second round of shells came. The shells exploded, and the devils who were about to retreat at the head of the city were immediately killed and injured. However, the rest of the devils still rushed to the stairs without hesitation. I plan to take advantage of the interval between shelling to leave this murderous city as soon as possible. And just then, an accident occurred. Because the defenders in the city were all transferred by the devils to defend the south gate. The 60 special combat team members led by Wang Lin easily rushed to the vicinity of the south gate. The head was overwhelmed by artillery fire from outside the city, and there were constantly devils rushing out of the artillery fire, trying to escape the city through the stairs and avoid the artillery fire. The idea of causing a lot of damage to the devil immediately appeared in Wang Lin's mind. After thinking about it, he ordered very decisively. "There are three openings at the head of the city for Lao Maozi to evacuate, as long as we block these openings, the devils will be bombed on the head of the city and wait for ...... death" "The three of us, one with two shifts, will act immediately and block the devil on the head of the city." Twenty Mauser pistols were fired at the same time, and their firepower was no less than five or six heavy machine guns. And the mouth used by the devil to escape is only five meters full. Such a dense firepower is concentrated in such a narrow opening. The devil who emerges from the top of the staircase, even if it is made of steel, will be beaten into a hornet's nest. The devil Shaozuo, who had just rushed to the top of the stairs, would have knocked him to the ground if it weren't for the guards' desperate efforts. Maybe at this moment, this devil Shaozo has turned into a corpse, and he will go back to see their so-called Anamesu. "What's going on? How can there be enemies in the city...... Quick, rush out of the other openings, continue to stay in the city, all of us will be killed by cannonballs......" The devil Shaozuo, who was lying on the city wall, ordered in shock and fear. However, before he finished speaking, a dense burst of gunfire rang out in the other two directions. Seven or eight of his subordinates rushed up the stairs, and before they could react, they were beaten into a hornet's nest and rolled from the top of the city down the stairs to the ground, and died no more. The scene changed suddenly, and Shao Zuo knew that if he continued to stay in the city, as long as the enemy's artillery fire did not stop, the shells falling from the sky would come to him sooner or later. So, instead of waiting here to die, it's better to rush to the death. As long as he can rush down the city, he will still have a chance to live, thinking of this, the devil Shaozuo's face immediately showed a ruthless expression...... Facing his subordinates, he ordered with a murderous face: "There are not many enemies in the city, cover with fire, kill it, otherwise we will ......all die" Soon, more than a dozen devils with rifles rushed over to counterattack. However, no matter how accurate their marksmanship is, as long as they emerge from the city, they will attract a dozen or even dozens of bullets, and there is no way to raise their guns to fight back.
