612.Chapter 612: Hanging the devil
The captain of the devil garrison looked angrily ahead, in just an hour, he had lost five thousand people. No matter how the troops charged, they could not break through the powerful fire blockade of the Independence Army.
What is even more ridiculous is that his troops have not made official contact with the Independence Army so far. Almost entirely his troops were beaten miserably, and not a single soldier of the Independence Army was wounded. If there are injuries, it is estimated that they are laughing and injured under the city.
"Ba Ge Yalu, the damned Shina people are too cunning to shoot our soldiers with our heavy machine guns. It's so shameless, can't they use their own weapons? The captain of the devil garrison didn't know what to complain about, and he actually said such idiotic things in front of his subordinates, causing his subordinates to silently scold him for being a stupid pig.
At this moment, suddenly there were explosions in the direction of Xianyang City. The captain of the garrison immediately looked at the battlefield in front of him, only to see that his vanguard was suddenly blocked by a violent explosion, and the devils who were blocked behind the corpse mountain suffered heavy casualties, and the follow-up troops showed signs of retreating.
Before he could give the order not to allow the troops to retreat, suddenly a red signal flare was fired from the head of Xianyang City.
Under the sun, the bright red was quickly swallowed up. But on the way to the sky, he left a bloody red.
All the devils in the rear looked up at the fading red light, and the captain of the devil guard suddenly felt an uneasy beating in his heart, as if something terrible was about to happen.
Just then, his troops' flanks were suddenly hit with a ferocious bomb attack.
Woohoo. The whistling sound of cannonballs reached the ears of the devils like the laughter of the devil when he harvested life, and many of them died tragically in the explosion before they could react. The devil's convoy was even more blown up in flames, and countless trucks burned in the explosion, turning the rear of the devil into a pot of porridge.
"What kind of shell is this?" The captain of the devil guard kept retreating, looking at the bombs flying in the sky and the familiar whistling sound, his eyes widened in horror: "Isn't this the sound of mortar shells?" Independence Army, Independence Army...... Is it possible to run and shoot with a mortar? ”
Just as he was shocked, there was a loud bang, and a shell exploded not far from him. The fragments of the explosion grazed right past his neck, and a large amount of blood immediately poured out of the throat of the captain of the devil guard.
He clutched his neck in pain, his carotid artery had been severed, and he didn't even say a word, just fell down heavily. When he was dying, his eyes were filled with disbelief, and he couldn't figure out how the Independence Army could actually shoot accurately with mortars while running wildly.
The soldiers of the three regiments, who had been in ambush for a long time, rushed towards the devil's team in an instant, and one after another grenades whistled and fell into the devil's camp. After two rounds of explosions, the devil was completely stunned.
"Change the bullets and kill them at close range!" The commander of the third regiment shouted as he charged.
Da-da-da-da. The dense gunfire of the Dada Assault Rifle quickly replaced the whistling of the grenade, and the soldiers of the three regiments plunged directly into the devil's team like blades, immediately cutting the devil's already broken team into countless small pieces.
Fighting at close range, the devils are no match for the Independence Army at all.
Assault rifles fire left and right, and a single Independence Army soldier can take down a mess of devils.
The helpless devils could only fight the soldiers of the Independence Army with bayonets, because they did not even have time to load the bullets.
In just about 20 minutes of rushing and killing, the third regiment had already wiped out almost all the devils in the rear of the devil garrison. The commander of the third regiment left a company of soldiers to continue to clean up the devils who had not been slaughtered, and he himself commanded a large army to kill under Xianyang City.
Suddenly, the devils who were besieged in the minefield were attacked from the front and back, and countless devils fell under the muzzle of the assault rifle.
The desperate devils panicked, and some ran towards the minefields that had not been cleared, and suddenly flesh and blood flew everywhere, and stumps and severed arms were blown everywhere.
"The grenade will open the way and blow up these Toyo turtle grandsons!" The three regiment commanders shouted in the ranks.
Suddenly, countless grenades flew into the air, and a bloody path was suddenly exploded by grenades.
The 1st and 2nd regiments under Xianyang City also sent a part of their troops, crossed the hill of corpses of devils, and went all the way forward under the cover of heavy machine guns on the city wall.
In just a few minutes, the teams of the Independence Army rushed forward and backward to meet in the minefield.
A heavily armed garrison of the devil had almost 10,000 troops, all of whom were buried under Xianyang City, and none of them could escape.
"Immediately enter the defensive line, the devil's reinforcements have arrived!" Ren Minjian roared on the city wall.
The three regiments and their reinforcing allies immediately and quickly retreated to the defense line under Xianyang City, and there was little point in ambushing them at this moment, because the Japanese reinforcements had already reached ten kilometers away, and they could clearly see every move of the independent army.
If you want to attack the devil again, it is almost impossible.
"Good guy, at least one division is here this time!" Ren Minjian rubbed his hands and said: "Look at the devils behind and a steady stream of troops advancing, this time it is really 100,000 troops coming to the city." ”
He turned to Wu Hua with a smile: "This time, we have some to play!" ”
Wu Hua rolled his eyes helplessly, he couldn't stand this division commander the most, it was the same killing as the first division commander Yang Fei, it seemed that he was very excited when he saw the devil, and he couldn't wait to come forward in person to do a big job.
The troops who came to reinforce were the two heavily armed garrisons of the devils, who were all urgently transferred back from the front line, and they also carried the strong murderous aura of the Eighth Route Army.
But when they came to the place where the vanguard was surrounded and annihilated before, many devils couldn't help but be a little timid. They saw the corpses of their allies everywhere, some of them covered in flesh and blood, and the ground was covered with stumps and severed arms, more terrible than any major battle they had ever seen.
"Sir, there are still a lot of minefields under Xianyang City. It was because our vanguard was blocked by minefields that it was completely annihilated. ”
As soon as the Devil's reinforcements gained a foothold, one of the Nakasa reported to the commander of this unit.
The commander of these two garrisons was a major general, and at this moment he squinted at Xianyang City and shouted coldly: "Order the artillery units behind to immediately cover the bombardment." Get rid of all the mines, quick! ”
"Hay!" Nakasa was ordered to leave.
They didn't bring much artillery, and a large number of them were still behind and were not brought up.
More than 50 artillery pieces of different types opened fire in unison, bombarding Xianyang City from both sides from a strip of about eight kilometers.
Mines were constantly triggered by artillery shells to explode, and a ball of fire rose into the sky, and Wu Hua's carefully arranged mine belt was reduced to nothing under the indiscriminate bombardment of the devils, and the mine belt was eaten away little by little, and quickly moved closer to Xianyang City.
"Do you still have some means, knowing how to use artillery to open the way, it's much smarter than the commander of the previous devil team!" Ren Minjian sneered at the corner of his mouth, and at the same time shouted to the troops below: "Everyone get ready, the devil's artillery fire is about to blow up." Hide your bodies carefully and don't get blown up into the sky! ”
There was a burst of laughter from the defense line under the city, and it was obvious that all the soldiers did not pay attention to these small artillery fire of the devils.
Half an hour later, the artillery fire that advanced all the way finally blew up the fortifications under Xianyang City.
The soldiers of the 1st Regiment, the 2nd Regiment and the 3rd Regiment immediately hid in the artillery holes dug earlier by the Japanese and waited tightly for the onslaught of the devil infantry.
It seems that this has become a habit, and the devils will use a bombardment before attacking as a sign of their infantry. The artillery bombarded, and the infantry charged. Infantry rushing, artillery bombardment, this is the devil's unchanging tactics for thousands of years.
Sure enough, when the bombardment reached about ten minutes, in the devil's team, the devil's major general in charge of the command shouted coldly: "The forward troops are charged, and the heavy machine guns are accompanied, covering the fire at the head of the city." ”
The devil's team immediately rushed out of two brigades, divided into a skirmish line and quickly rushed towards Xianyang City. At the same time, they were followed by a heavily armed garrison brigade closely followed by heavy machine guns and various light machine guns, ready to take cover duty for the advancing troops.
The three regiments under the city were crushed by enemy fire and could not return fire for the time being.
Seeing that the devils were getting closer and closer to the minefield that was blown up, Ren Minjian said coldly: "Mortars are ready, and after the devils enter two hundred meters, they will start bombing immediately!" ”
"Yes!" Hundreds of soldiers roared in unison.
The devil is getting closer and closer, and he was cautious at first. But seeing that the independent army suppressed by their artillery fire had no room to fight back, they began to rush towards Xianyang City recklessly.
The heavy brigade set up all kinds of machine guns at a distance of more than 200 meters, and the sound of gunfire was intensively strafing the independent army below the city and at the head of the city, intending to form uninterrupted fire after the artillery fire stopped, and the independent army could not take the lead.
"Division commander, the devil has already entered within two hundred meters." Wu Hua had been lying on the observation port and yelled at this time.
"Put!" Ren Minjian's hand swung down heavily, and more than 300 mortars hidden in the city roared at the same time.
The sound of shells resounded in the sky, and the mortar shells falling from the height smashed into the charging Japanese troops like hailstones, and immediately blossomed in all directions in the devil's charging team, and countless devils flew into the air.
In the rear of the Japanese army, Major General Devil's eyes widened sharply, and he shouted in disbelief: "They, they still have artillery support?" It's impossible! Why weren't they useful before? ”
"Sir, it should be a mortar attack." One of his men corrected.
"Withdraw the troops immediately, quickly, quickly." Where did the major general still have the heart to distinguish what kind of artillery was bombarding, he only saw that soldiers were constantly being blown up into the air, and a layer of blood mist was already filled in front of Xianyang City.
But even if his order was transmitted thousands of miles away, it was too late, and more than 300 mortars bombarded at the same time, forming an explosive circle that the devils could not escape.
All the heavy machine guns in the city roared at the same time at this moment, and the weapons made by the devils themselves were ferociously devouring the lives of these invaders!
