I rise from the sword

Chapter 355 Devils siege the city, the sixth battalion of iron bones
"Yes, Tuan Zuo, I know I'm wrong!"

"Don't worry, the little devil's cannon fire is fierce, but the brothers can still hold on!"

"Unless all the brothers in our battalion are killed, there will never be a little devil who can break into the city!"

The sixth battalion commander, Tian Yaozu, bowed his head to admit his mistake, and then made a promise to Yang Lin.

"Very good! I have the will to fight, I am Yang Lin, and I am a soldier of the Zhongrui Regiment!"

Yang Lin nodded in satisfaction, and then said: "Commander Sixth Battalion, I will leave the position in the west of the city to you. You must resist this wave of shelling from the little devils. If necessary, I will ask the artillery battalion to provide you with artillery support." !"

"Yes, stop!"

Tian Yaozu put down the phone in his hand.

After a while, the little devil's artillery fire gradually weakened.

Tian Yaozu, who has fought against the little devil many times, knows that the real crisis has just arrived, and the weakening of the artillery fire means that the little devil's infantry is about to attack.

Immediately, Tian Yaozu personally led Li Yuying's officers and soldiers to block the gap in the city wall.

"Brothers, follow me, hurry up!"

The officers and soldiers of the Sixth Battalion carried sandbags and moved towards the broken city wall.

"Hurry up, hurry up! Bring more sandbags over here!!!"

Under the leadership of the battalion commander Tian Yaozu, the officers and soldiers braved the enemy's artillery fire and used sandbags to build fortifications at the gaps in the city wall.

The gap in the city wall is completely different from the gap when the flood burst the embankment. Sandbags are used to block the gap when the flood bursts the embankment.

The gap in the city wall is completely different. The general city wall will be one or two meters thick, not just a wall.

Therefore, even if it collapses, it will generally not form a big gap, but a gentle slope zone.

It is convenient to attack. You can use this as a breakthrough, rush to the city wall, and then enter the city.

Therefore, the officers and soldiers of the Sixth Battalion were not trying to block the gap in the city wall, and they couldn't block it even if they wanted to bet.

They used sandbags to build fortifications where the city wall collapsed to prevent the little devils from attacking from here and killing the city wall.

Of course, the little devils of the 2nd Regiment of the Garrison Infantry will not give the defenders of the Zhongrui Regiment a chance to breathe.

Taking advantage of artillery fire to suppress the Sixth Battalion of the Zhongrui Regiment, the Devils immediately launched a full-scale attack.

"Infantry charge forward, tanks charge forward!"

"Warriors of the empire, break into Fenyang County ahead and kill all the Chinese defenders in the city!"

"Kill the chicken! Kill the chicken!!!"

Yoshida Shigeru, the captain of the 2nd Infantry Regiment of the Japanese Army Garrison, was the commander of this operation. As he swung the saguan sword forward vigorously, the devil soldiers under him were like male dogs who had eaten spring medicine. Shouting the slogan "onboard onboard", relying on the guidance of tanks and chariots, they quickly swooped towards the west of the city.

"Go forward! Go forward quickly!"

Because of the cover of tanks and chariots, the devil infantry appeared to be confident for a while.

Their speed was very fast, and they advanced to a position less than 1000 meters away from the west city gate in a short time.

The terrain around Fenyang County is relatively flat, and there are almost no objects that can be used to cover it outside the city. In addition, it is impossible for the little devil to advance through the intricate traffic trenches. After all, the fate of the little devil who advances through the other three gates is still vividly.

As a result, it is simply unrealistic to rely on those 10 or so tanks to cover the advance of an entire infantry brigade.

500 meters, already within the blockade range of light and heavy machine gun fire.

When the devil's attacking troops advanced to a distance of 500 meters from the city gate, they immediately looked for suitable positions nearby and quickly established various firepower points.

After a while, the little devil set up a series of mortars and a series of light and heavy machine guns.

"Machine gun fire suppression! Mortar attack!"

"Tom, tom tom tom!"

"Da da da, da da da da..."

"Tut, chug, chug, chug..."

The little devil opened fire, and countless machine gun bullets and grenades flew towards the city wall like they didn't want money.

At the same time, under the cover and guidance of tanks and chariots, the devil's attacking force aggressively advanced not far outside the city.

While maneuvering, the devil's chariot turned the turret and used the 37mm caliber main gun to attack the defenders' fortifications on the city wall.

"boom!"

"Boom boom boom boom!—"

The main gun of the tank is different from the field gun. The field gun is a curved gun, while the tank gun is a direct gun.

A grenade bombarded directly on the city wall and exploded violently, immediately blasting bullet holes in the already cracked wall.

There were also some shells that directly hit the fortifications of the Sixth Battalion of the Zhongrui Regiment, blowing away the sandbags and the weapons on them.

"Warriors of the Empire, rush up and occupy the front wall!"

"Kill the chicken, kill the chicken!!!"

Taking advantage of the suppression of firepower and the cover and guidance of tanks and chariots, hundreds of vanguard devil soldiers continued to rush forward viciously...

"Battalion Commander, the little devil has rushed to the bottom of the city!"

The observers of the Sixth Battalion reported the information to Tian Yaozu who was not far away.

Hearing this, Tian Yaozu poked his head out and took a look at the devil troops under the city. Seeing that the little devil had already entered the pursuit attack range, he immediately ordered the officers and soldiers under him: "Brothers, the little devil has entered our attack range, everyone! Full firepower! Hit, give me a hard hit! Be sure to hit my Zhongrui Regiment and my Sixth Battalion's aura!"

Following Tian Yaozu's order, the officers and soldiers of the Sixth Battalion who had crouched on the city wall in advance pulled the trigger one after another.

They uphold the consistent combat style of the Zhongrui Regiment and do not reserve any firepower.

For a moment, the dense bullets poured towards the oncoming army of devils, covering them as if they didn't want money.

"Da da da! chug chug!"

"Crack, clap clap..."

The tanks and chariots of the Devils were the first to be attacked.

"Ding ding ding, ding ding ding..."

The dense bullets hit the front armor of the Devil Tank, bursting out bursts of harsh metal impact sounds, and sparks flew everywhere for a while.

The armored defense capability of the devil's thin-skinned tanks is completely incomparable with that of European and American tanks. Not to mention blocking the attacks of anti-aircraft guns, they can't even block the attacks of ordinary heavy machine guns.

Soon, the tanks and chariots rushing forward were scarred by the machine gun bullets sweeping towards them.

However, being able to injure is one thing, being able to destroy is another.

Although the devil's tank was almost sieved by machine gun bullets, it did not hurt any vital parts, so it did not lose its mobility.

It is worth mentioning that although the devil tank blocked a lot of bullets, it could not cover all the little devils who followed.

Some devil soldiers on the edge were shot by bullets, and immediately screamed and fell into a pool of blood.

"Hidden, counterattack!"

Seeing this, the other surviving little devils immediately squeezed behind the tank's buttocks while raising their guns to fight back.

For a while, dense bullets shuttled back and forth between the enemy and us, hitting the ground with smoke and dust, and also hitting the old city wall with debris and mud falling down.

"Artillery attack! Quick!"

The Sixth Battalion also had its own artillery unit, and, in order to ensure the combat effectiveness of the Sixth Battalion, Yang Lin specially assigned some mortars and grenades to the Sixth Battalion after it was incorporated.

Just as the fierce battle between the enemy and us was in full swing, a large cloud of grenades suddenly flew across the sky above the defensive positions, and fell viciously on the attacking crowd of devils.

"Boom!"

"Boom boom boom boom boom..."

The grenades fell one after another, immediately blasting the area 200-300 meters away from the city wall into a sea of ​​flames.

Many of the grenades fell behind the Devil's tank, and the broken shrapnel flew in all directions, mercilessly harvesting the surrounding Devil soldiers.

"Ugh!"

"Uh, uh, uh..."

Countless devil soldiers were either right at the point where the grenade fell and were directly blown up, or died under the broken shrapnel.

However, this is only the beginning.

The grenades from the Sixth Battalion came wave after wave as if they didn't need money.

"Boom!"

"Boom boom boom boom boom..."

In the light of the flames, the Devil infantry suffered heavy casualties, because tanks and chariots could no longer protect them well.

Therefore, the devil soldiers immediately started to save themselves. They either lay down on the spot or jumped into the nearest trench.

"Incendiary attack!"

The observers of the Sixth Battalion saw many little devils jumping into the trenches, and immediately conveyed the situation to the artillery.

Immediately, one after another incendiary bombs flew towards the little devil.

Although most of the incendiary bombs fell on the ground, many fell in the trenches.

These incendiary bombs fell to the ground and exploded, immediately igniting the thatch, saltpeter, gasoline, sulfur and other combustibles in the trench.

"Ya Butterfly!"

Facing the raging fire dragon, the little devil who had just jumped into the trench was forced to jump out again.

Some little devils who happened to be at the landing point of the incendiary bomb and moved slower were even ignited by the fireworks. They rolled back and forth on the ground in embarrassment to extinguish the fireworks on their bodies.

It is worth mentioning that the artillery was not the only one who launched the attack. In addition to the artillery, the infantry and machine gunners on the city wall were also attacking non-stop.

Without the cover of tanks and trenches, the little devils in the wilderness are like a group of living targets.

Since the soldiers of the Sixth Battalion were all on the city wall, they attacked from a commanding height, so that even if the little devil lay on the ground, the surface area of ​​the bullet would be very large.

For a moment, the little devil's offensive formation was completely disrupted.

……

"Baga! The firepower of the Zhina Zhongrui Regiment is too fierce!"

Facing the ferocious firepower of the defenders of the Zhongrui Regiment, even with the cover of tanks and chariots, it was difficult for the devil soldiers to rush down the tower for a while.

The most important thing is that once they rushed within a hundred meters, they entered the attack range of the grenade.

By then, tanks would no longer be able to provide them with effective defensive protection.

"The city wall is just ahead, warriors of the empire, attack, continue to attack!"

"As long as you rush to the city wall, then these Chinese soldiers will die!"

Some little devils also tried to rush up the city wall and use their most proud hand-to-hand tactics to win.

Unfortunately, there was an open area under the city tower, and there was almost no shelter. The devil soldiers tried to charge several times, but they were all beaten back by the defenders of the Sixth Battalion.

"Uh, uh, uh..."

Countless little devils died tragically under the dense bullet rain, and the remaining little devils could only lie on the ground, unable to take care of their injured companions.

"Tanks fire quickly! The machine gun team and the grenadier team suppress the firepower and cover the infantry's charge!"

"Invincible warriors of the empire, rush forward and plant the flag of our Great Japanese Imperial Army on the tower in front of us!"

"Kill the chicken! Kill the chicken!!!"

While waving the command knife in his hand vigorously, the devil commander shouted loudly to order the devil soldiers under him to charge.

In order to cover the infantry rushing up the city wall, the little devil's machine gun team, grenadier team, tank gun, and the vehicle-mounted machine gun on the top of the tank opened fire one after another, frantically suppressing the firepower of the Sixth Battalion of the Zhongrui Regiment on the city wall.

Taking advantage of this opportunity, the devil infantry pulled the bolt to fire and attack, while using the tank chariot as a cover to advance forward.

During the charge, countless little devils died tragically under the attack of the defenders one after another, and the sixth battalion of the Zhongrui Regiment also suffered heavy casualties.

Most of the fortifications on the city wall have been destroyed under the repeated bombing by the little devil, and many walls have been blown up.

In particular, at some gaps in the city wall, the officers and soldiers of the Sixth Battalion could only use sandbags as cover fortifications to launch a counterattack...

"The 5th Battalion of the Garrison Infantry, attack!"

Behind the battlefield, the captain of the 2nd Garrison Infantry Wing, Yoshida Maoto, has been paying attention to the attack of the 4th Garrison Infantry Wing.

Of course, seeing that the 4th Battalion was unable to attack for a long time, and there were even a large number of casualties, Gujing Wubo's face suddenly turned ugly.

However, this guy is also a master who will not give up until he achieves his goal.

It is said that a soldier who does not want to be a general is not a good soldier.

Chief of Staff Tokugawa Ichiro wanted to take this opportunity to show off his ambitions, so why not Yoshida Maotou.

He was born in 1891 and is 50 years old this year. Like Tokugawa Ichiro, he has no background at all.

If there is no outstanding military exploits, it can be said that the captain of the Dazuo United is already the end of his military career.

This is what Yoshida Maoden is unwilling to accept, and today, facing the Zhongrui Tuan is undoubtedly a huge opportunity.

Especially now that he has the chance to attack.

If you can break through the Fenyang County guarded by the Zhongrui regiment in one fell swoop, and severely damage or even wipe it out.

His name, Yoshida Maoto, will surely leave a strong mark in the military history of the empire.

Being promoted to rank and becoming the head of the Major General's Brigade naturally became a matter of course...

After about 10 minutes.

More than 5 little devils from the 1300th Battalion of the Japanese Garrison Infantry finally rushed to a position about 500 meters away from the west gate of Fenyang County.

With the addition of this new force, the situation of the Sixth Battalion, which had suffered heavy casualties, became more and more unfavorable.

However, although these hard-bodied men followed a wimpy commander as a deserter once, they were unwilling to abandon their defense and flee again this time, and continued to bear the infamy of deserters.

And the battle has completely entered a white-hot process...
