I rise from the sword

Chapter 377
"Whoa, whoa, whoa..."

A few flares pierced the sky with whistling sound, and a few brilliant white lights instantly lit up the night sky, illuminating the surroundings like daytime.

At this time, under the light of the flares, the devil soldiers outside the city were like bastards exposed on the beach after low tide.

The burning time of the flare is very short, usually 20-140 seconds. The medium-caliber flare used by Zhongruituan can reach 40 candlepower, but the duration is short, only 25-35 seconds.

But this time was enough for the defenders of the Zhongrui Regiment on the city wall. The defenders were already ready to fight. They seized the opportunity and collectively opened fire on the devil soldiers outside the city.

"Brothers, the group seat said that our Zhongrui group lacks everything, except bullets, so they all fired on me and fucked up this group of sons of bitches who don't know how to give birth to children. They only know about sneak attacks Little devil!!!”

"Da da da, chug chug..."

All of a sudden, all kinds of light and heavy machine guns rang out on the city wall, and dense bullets poured forward like a torrential rain.

In order to correct the trajectory and better achieve the effect of treacherous enemies, the defenders of the Zhongrui Regiment also used tracer bullets.

Look at the little devil again.

The brightness of 40 candles is not a joke. Almost as soon as the flares burst out, the hot white light irradiated the little devil's eyes, and tears flowed out, making it difficult to open his eyes.

It's not that the light from the flares is more dazzling than the sun, the main reason is that it's a pitch-black night, and it's hard for people to get used to this huge contrast all at once.

"Uh, uh, uh!!!"

"Ah, ah, ah..."

There were screams in the crowd of devils, and the dozens of devil soldiers rushing in front of them didn't even have time to find cover. They were shot by their cameras and fell to the ground screaming.

The defenders of the Zhongrui Regiment on the city wall occupied a favorable terrain and the commanding heights. They kept firing and firing, beckoning the devils to attack continuously.

The little devil never dreamed that the Zhongrui regiment not only deployed the minefield, but also responded so quickly, and was caught off guard for a while.

"Be careful of the attack of the Chinese soldiers, cover up, cover up quickly!"

"Lie down!!!"

The devil commander yelled at the top of his voice, directing his soldiers to defend and counterattack.

The devil soldiers hurriedly lay down on the ground, or ran towards a nearby location suitable for concealment.

Good guy, this is a minefield!
As soon as some little devils lay on the ground, they touched the landmines buried in the soil.

"Boom!"

After a loud noise, these little devils were blown out even with their weapons.

Some little devils stepped on landmines in a panic, either their legs were blown off, or they were killed on the spot.

It must be mentioned that the role of mines is to block the enemy's launch and delay the enemy's attack speed.

Simply killing the enemy will only result in a combat casualty reduction, and if it is a serious injury such as a broken leg, at least two people need to be left to take care of the wounded. In this way, the enemy's combat casualty reduction can be reduced One person, plus two non-combat attrition, a total of three attrition.

In addition, the wounded need a lot of medical treatment, which will greatly consume the enemy's supplies.

Therefore, in many cases, the strategic effect of injuring an enemy is even greater than killing an enemy.

It is precisely because of this that the power of landmines varies, and even Yang Lin deliberately chose some less powerful landmines to bury.

The book is back to normal.

The sound of thunder exploded one after another, causing the little devils to immediately react from their panic. Only then did they realize that they were still in the minefield, and for a while they were playing with wooden figures, not daring to move.

"Whoa, whoa, whoa..."

However, the lasing bullets don't have eyes, and in the blink of an eye, dozens of little devils' bodies were pierced, and they fell to the ground screaming.

"Baga! Don't run around, watch out for mines!"

The little devils came to their senses. With the help of the light from the flares in the sky, they carefully checked whether there were any traces of mines around them, and then carefully lay down on the ground.

However, at this moment, the defenders of the Zhongrui regiment in the city fired a large number of grenades at them.

"Tom tom tom!"

"Tom tom tom tom!—"

What is the use of the defenders of the Zhongrui regiment? They used all the grenades and mortars to attack together.

The grenade dragged its eye-catching tail flame, pierced the sky and bombarded the little devil one after another.

The devils outside the city continued to attack. They had just built up their firepower in fear, but before they could attack, a large number of grenades fell on them like meteorites and exploded one after another.

"Boom!"

"Boom, boom, boom!—"

But I saw one after another red light suddenly rising from the ground, and the devil soldiers near the grenade landing point were blown into the air, dismembered in the air, their bodies were cut into several pieces, and bloody stumps, broken arms and internal organs were scattered everywhere Both are.

More little devils were killed by grenade fragments.

At the same time, a large number of weapons and equipment that the devils attacked constantly were also blown up, and their temporary defensive positions also collapsed in an instant.

After some grenades fell to the ground and exploded, they also caused landmines to explode, causing even greater damage to the little devils.

After a while, the flares in the sky burned out and slowly landed on the ground, and the control fell into endless darkness again.

The whole process seemed short, less than a minute, but to the little devil, it was like experiencing a nightmare.

However, although the sky returned to darkness and was shrouded in endless night again, the defenders of the Zhongrui regiment in the city did not stop attacking.

"Da da da, chug chug!"

"boom!"

"Boom boom boom boom!—"

Poor means precise strikes, and rich means full coverage of firepower. The Zhongrui Regiment has won countless victories in a row and seized countless supplies and equipment. With the special care of the theater commander's department and the existence of the Yang Lin system, at this moment it seems to be an out-and-out war. upstart.

They opened fire with full firepower, and they greeted bullets and grenades as if they didn't need money.

If it weren't for the lack of arm strength to throw the grenade hundreds of meters, they would even use the grenade.

For a while, the dense direct firepower of machine guns, coupled with the curved firepower of mortars and grenades, interweaved each other to form a three-dimensional firepower network without gaps.

The powerful and ferocious firepower blocked the devil's attacking troops several hundred meters outside the city, making it impossible for them to advance half a step.

Some little devils could only flee in the dark in order to avoid the dense rain of bullets from the lasing shots and the constant falling grenades.

As a result, because of panic, many little devils stepped on landmines, and they took lunch boxes with their companions.

It is worth mentioning that the reason why the little devils' night attack failed so disastrously, and they almost aborted before reaching the city, was entirely because they were overconfident and thus greatly underestimated the Zhongrui regiment.

They didn't expect that the Zhongrui regiment would deploy a minefield outside the city.

As a result, as soon as they stepped on a landmine, their attempt to attack at night was exposed.

In addition, the defenders of the Zhongrui Regiment did not relax their vigilance, and even the minefields were deployed in a formation.

so that various factors are mixed together.

The little devil's sneak attack was good, but the casualties were heavy, which is completely reasonable.

Shigeru Yoshida, the commander of the 2nd Infantry Regiment of the Japanese Garrison, immediately became angry when he saw that the attack of the vanguard was blocked and the casualties were heavy.

"Baga, Lu! These cunning Chinese people, they have already taken precautions and deployed so many landmines outside the city!"

"Damn it, it's really hateful!!!"

The staff officer, Major Guizi, suggested: "Your Excellency, captain, right now, our night attack has almost been exposed and we have lost the opportunity! If we continue to attack, the situation will not be much better than during the day.

Therefore, in order to be safe, I suggest that we temporarily withdraw the frontline combat troops first! "

Although Yoshida Maoden was very angry and unwilling to accept this fact, he was not a stubborn person.

Moreover, the deployment of minefields by the Zhongrui Regiment was not only something he hadn't thought of, but it was also something their division head Masamori Honma hadn't thought of.

After pondering for a while with dissatisfaction, Yoshida Maoto finally accepted his subordinate's proposal.

"Well, Yamaguchi-kun, your analysis is good. We have lost the opportunity right now. It seems that we can only withdraw the troops first, gather the troops and then make other plans!"

Yoshida Maoto finished speaking with a face of unwillingness, and then called the messenger.

"Messenger, order the frontline combat troops to patrol and evacuate the battlefield, and turn back two kilometers!"

"Notify the field artillery unit to bombard the city defense positions of the Zhongrui Regiment and the minefields outside the city with intensive artillery fire to clear the landmines for the attacking troops!"

"Hi Yi!"

The devil's messenger nodded heavily, then turned around and ran away quickly, conveying the order of the regimental captain Yoshida Maotou.

"Turn in, turn in!"

"Transfer in immediately!"

After receiving the order to retreat, the little devils in the vanguard left the battlefield as if they had been pardoned.

"Boom! Boom..."

On the way to retreat, some unlucky little devils touched landmines again. After dropping dozens of corpses, the little devils in the vanguard finally left the minefield that made them panic.

Immediately, the devil's artillery unit began a retaliatory attack to the west of the city.

"Tom!"

"Tom tom tom tom!—"

For a moment, the cannon technology resounded, as if it was about to tear the endless night sky apart.

One after another, the grenade dragged the tail flame of life through the sky, and bombed in the west of Fenyang County.

"Boom, boom, boom!—"

The grenades fell to the ground and exploded one after another, immediately blasting the entire west of the city into flames and dust.

Some crumbling residential buildings that had been urged to do so were finally overwhelmed this time and collapsed.

Some of the shells landed on the city wall, and many soldiers of the Zhongrui Regiment fell into a pool of blood before they could take any precautions.

War is like this, it is impossible for you to always hit others with no casualties, especially in the era of modern hot weapons, which is even more cruel.

Fortunately, since it was night, they couldn't see clearly, and unlike in the daytime, the aviation soldiers provided coordinate guidance, so the little devil's bombing seemed to be a lot of noise, but in fact it didn't cause much casualties to the defenders of the Zhongrui Regiment.

Of course, the purpose of the devil's shelling was not to kill the officers and soldiers of the Zhongrui Regiment, but to cover the withdrawal of their vanguard troops, and to clear the mines outside the city in preparation for the subsequent attack.

After all, even if the night attack tonight fails, they will have to launch another siege, and then they will also have to face these damn mines...

"Brothers, stop attacking, take cover, move cover quickly!"

The officers and soldiers of the Zhongrui Regiment stopped extending their firepower to the devil's attacking troops one after another. They withdrew from the city wall one after another and went back to the bunkers below the city to avoid the shells that fell from the sky and exploded in all directions.

After several rounds of bombing, the devil's artillery fire began to extend outside the city to achieve the effect of demining...

10 minutes later.

The battle in the west of the city continued, and Yang Lin immediately rushed to the city with a company of guards to inspect the casualties of the troops.

Yang Lin glanced at the officers and soldiers on the city wall, it was still their fortifications.

Due to the barrier of minefields and the effect of warning, coupled with the advantage of the location, the Zhongrui Regiment took the lead almost from the very beginning, and they almost kept fighting against the little devils. It's not big, and it's basically caused by the devil's artillery.

Yang Lin observed for a while, and found that Hou Meng was not in sight, so he couldn't help frowning. He found a soldier at random and asked, "Where's your battalion commander?"

The soldier stood up straight, and then replied: "Reporting to the regiment, our battalion commander was injured just now, and the medical soldiers are bandaging his wound."

"he is injured?"

Yang Lin frowned even tighter, and he asked again: "Is your battalion commander injured?"

Before the soldiers could answer this time, Hou Meng's voice came from behind Yang Lin: "Tuan Zuo, are you here?"

Yang Lin turned around and followed Sheng Sheng, but saw Hou Meng walking towards him quickly.

Hou Meng's left arm was tied with a bandage, and it didn't seem to be tied properly. There were two medical soldiers chasing him and bandaging him at the same time.

"Mengzi, why did you get injured, boy, how is it, how is the injury?"

"Tuan Zuo, it's all right, a little injury, just scratched the skin by a stray bullet, no bone injury."

In order to make himself look like a ok person, the guy raised his uninjured right hand and patted his chest again.

Seeing that Hou Meng was fine, Yang Lin felt relieved at first, and then scolded, "You boy, why did you run around before the wound was healed?"

Hou Meng raised his right hand again and scratched the back of his head, and smiled mischievously, "Hey, hey, hey... isn't this the group seat where you come to inspect?"

Yang Lin glared at Hou Meng again: "Next time you are hurt, don't stick to these pedantic etiquette!"

"Yes!"

Hou Mengmeng stood up straight to attention, and then smiled and flattered him: "Tuan Zuo, you are really good at predicting things. The little devil really came to attack tonight. Fortunately, you let us arrange minefields, otherwise the consequences would be disastrous!"
