Anti-Japanese Jagged General

Chapter 878 Advantages Become Disadvantages! (Second update!)
"Boom..." A bunker on the far left of the devil's forward position exploded first, and the bricks and stones that made up the bunker flew around like a goddess.

With a thick black smoke rising from the explosion point, a bunker nearly two meters high has been blown into a pile of ruins!
"Boom... boom..."

After two more explosions, the remaining two bunkers were also blown up.

"Come up with me, occupy the front position of the little devil, and continue to attack the city wall of Linfen City!" The company commander with an excited expression on his face ordered decisively.

The corpses of more than 30 Japanese and puppet soldiers scattered on the battlefield and the Japanese and puppet soldiers buried in the ruins of the bunker showed the first company the results of their attack just over half an hour ago.

Half of the tasks assigned by the battalion commander were completed in such a short time, and the first company commander was very happy.

The instructor was also very excited. The smooth start made him full of confidence in the next battle. He stared at his partner and asked, "Old Zhou, how are we going to fight next!"

"The old rules, light and heavy machine gun cover, the riflemen crawled forward, and then dug trenches, to show the devils that we want to approach the city wall by digging trenches, and force the little devils to fight on the city wall!"

"Artillery platoon, aim at the top of the city, shell freely, and shoot wherever there are more Japanese and puppet troops!"

"Also, the old rules agreed upon by the head of the regiment cannot be broken. All mortars participating in the battle can't stay in the same place for more than 1 minute, counting from firing!"

On the top of the city, the captain of the Devil Squadron had a very ugly expression, so gloomy that he was about to bleed.

Most of the infantry squad, plus three machine gun groups, just disappeared.The strong combat power displayed by the Eighth Route Army outside the city made him feel startled, and at the same time made him doubt whether he could hold this place.

Fortunately, the adjutant's words at this time cheered him up again.

"Sir, the Eighth Route Army attacking us seems to have only one company, and no follow-up troops!"

"Nani?" The squadron leader immediately raised his binoculars and stared outside the city, not letting go of any movement.

Soon, the gloomy complexion looked a lot better.

Chang Song replied in one breath: "Bageya Road, the Eighth Route Army underestimated our Imperial Japanese Army too much. It is simply wishful thinking to break through the defenses of the East Gate City with only one company. Even if they have superior firepower, it is useless." !"

As soon as he finished speaking, the figures of dozens of Eighth Route Army riflemen stepped out of the position and appeared in the squadron leader's field of vision.

"They plan to approach us by creeping forward, then dig trenches, approach the city wall by digging, and shorten the attack distance!" The squadron leader who regained confidence made a judgment with a frown.

Then he ordered: "All light and heavy machine guns fire immediately to kill these Eighth Route Army!"

Seven or eight shooting holes suddenly appeared on the city wall, which was less than 100 meters long. Each shooting hole protruded from a gun barrel, and then spit out a thick tongue of flame nearly half a meter long.

"Da da da……"

The intertwined bullets quickly formed an airtight bullet net above the rifleman's head.

Even if many soldiers were lying on the ground, the bullets shot from the front condescendingly still drilled a few blood holes in their backs~

"Machine gunner, counterattack...others, deploy on the spot and counterattack with rifles!" The first company commander ordered decisively.

Seeing that the rifleman who was shot by the devils in front had stopped, he lay down on the ground and took out an engineering shovel to dig a hole in his body, piled the soil to the front to block the bullets, and then continued to expand the hole to form a personal bunker, and then put the single soldier The bunkers are connected into trenches.

The first company commander continued to order: "The old rules of machine gunners are that one heavy machine gun and two light machine guns block one firing hole of the devils, and one infantry squad deals with one firing hole to disperse the heavy firepower of the devils, cover the attacking troops and dig trenches, and leave the little devils behind." The troops below are pressing against the city wall!"

The first company commander's tactics were very effective. Seeing that the Eighth Route Army's individual bunkers outside the city were digging deeper and deeper, and even started to form trenches, he finally couldn't help but ordered.

"The second team went up to the city wall and shot down the Eighth Route Army hiding in the bunker. They must not let them dig the trench!"

"The artillerymen also came up, together with the grenadiers, to blow up the Eighth Route Army who were digging trenches for me."

The company commander, who kept his eyes on the battlefield, also ordered: "Artillery platoon, freely choose the target of the bombardment, and fire immediately!"

The enemy and the enemy surrounded the city walls and fortifications and fired at each other. Shells, bullets, and grenades came and went, which was very lively.

There are casualties every minute, including the Eighth Route Army and the Japanese and puppet troops.

After fighting for nearly two hours, the third regiment directly under the brigade rushed over one after another.

"Commander Jin, who are you!" Looking at the chaotic siege battle in front of him, the head of the third regiment asked back with a puzzled expression.

Jin Kai quickly expressed his thoughts.

Those who can become regiment leaders in the Eighth Route Army will definitely not be bad at command, and they are all militants.

With little hesitation, he made a decision: "Our three regiments can't miss such a good training opportunity~ Battalion Commander Jin, the third regiment will also join in. Your assault battalion is tired after fighting for so long, just in time to take a break!"

The number of veterans in the third regiment is only [-]%, and they have not experienced any major battles. If they rashly join the siege battle and launch a strong attack, the casualties of the troops must be serious.

The third regiment leader is very aware of his shortcomings.

Now there is a good opportunity to make up for his shortcomings. In order not to cause too many casualties in the next storming army, and in order to accumulate some siege experience for the troops, the third regiment leader decisively seized this opportunity to train troops.

On the east wall of Linfen City, the squadron leader holding a binoculars raised his eyebrows and shouted: "Bageya Road, the Eighth Route Army and follow-up troops! Their reinforcements are here, at least one battalion! We will continue to strengthen our counterattack firepower, Otherwise, it will definitely not prevent them from shortening the attack distance by digging trenches, and the city wall under our feet will be in danger!"

"Send another team to the city wall, and we must block them. As long as we hold out until dawn, they will retreat!"

The second lieutenant next to him did not carry out the order, but reported with a troubled face: "Sir, we have no one left, and the remaining imperial army and imperial association army are all on the city wall!"

"Bageyalu, this force is not enough at all. Immediately contact the headquarters and ask for reinforcements. I need at least two reinforcements here!"

Major Gao Tian and Captain Baotian stared at the city defense map with worried expressions.

Just now, the head of the brigade who stayed behind in Xiangfen finally returned to the shop.

It was this call back that made them lose all confidence in defending Linfen City.

There are no reinforcements in the surrounding counties, and the fastest reinforcements along the way will not arrive in Linfen City until tomorrow afternoon.

This means that they have to rely on these remnants in their hands to persist until dawn.

Captain Baotian is the commander, and he is more aware of the dire situation facing Linfen City than Major Gao Tian.

The city of Linfen is large, with many and strong fortifications, which is both an advantage and a disadvantage, but for the current defenders, the usual advantages have become disadvantages!
