Chapter 188 Chen Ziyun has super commanding ability

"Boom boom boom."

At the city wall south of Xinxian County, the Yue army continued to use explosive bags and blasting tubes to blow up the city wall by mistake.

As each gap was opened by explosive packs, and then expanded by blasting tubes, the little devils would let out a burst of cheers.

Of course they didn't know that Chen Ziyun, the leader of the 11th Preparatory Regiment, and Shi Yujie, the commander of the 6th Battalion, quickly made adjustments according to the gap.

The main force of the Sixth Battalion, two infantry companies and a machine gun company, quickly assembled for defense.

The first defensive position on the southern city wall was abandoned, and they began to deploy all their strength on the second defensive position.

Just ask the little Japs to enter through the gap and attack outside the city, then a large amount of firepower will be fired, and the firepower will be enough for the Japs to drink a pot.

The Moon Army outside the city was completely unaware of the deployment inside, and their faces were full of excitement as they saw gaps appearing everywhere.

The two major captains who commanded the battle did not even smile.

In their opinion, so many gaps were enough for their main force to enter outside the city.

Just go outside the city, then the battle will be over.

"The empire is far more powerful than they can imagine, and they can defeat any army."

"The Tiandong Army and the Imperial Army will always be number one! Any troops in front of them will be completely conquered and annihilated!"

"The performance of the Shanxi-Sui Army is indeed commendable. To use their words, it is just a flash in the pan."

"He can't wait to get outside the city. His family sword has not been stained with the blood of the Jinsui Army officers for a long time."

"Hahaha, when their troops attack outside the city, a wonderful massacre will soon begin."

"He preferred to chop off the heads of prisoners of war and watch their bodies tremble in front of him."

"The miserable Jinsui Army, after that battle, they will know how terrifying the imperial troops are!"

The two major captains of the 13th and 14th Independent Field Battalions couldn't hold back any longer. They held their sabers and looked outside the city with bloodthirsty eyes.

The kid's explosions continued, and not only did the two major captains think they had a chance to win.

Major General Mitake Tsuda, the commander of the brigade, and the Lieutenant Colonel and Chief of Staff also believed that they were confident enough to capture the eastern county seat before dark.

Therefore, the brigade headquarters immediately contacted the artillery unit, and the lieutenant commander began to command the artillery to conduct harassment and artillery attacks outside the city.

The four Liao-made field guns can even take advantage of the ultra-long range to carry out extended bombardment to support frontline troops in combat.

At this time, all the Lunar Army's attention was completely focused on the south. They believed that they were about to break through and could easily take the east county seat.

To the west, more than 700 Japs from the 12th Field Brigade launched a diversionary attack.

They were met with a tenacious resistance from the Fifth Battalion, and Wu Ziqiang personally commanded the troops to fight.

The machine gun battery consisted of four heavy machine guns, using the firing holes dug in advance to continuously fire.

Two 81MM mortars conducted direct artillery fire across the city wall to attack the advancing troops of the Moon Army.

Two infantry companies, which assembled eighteen light machine guns, also used firing holes to launch burst fire.

At the city wall, Wu Ziqiang selected more than thirty veterans.

Some of these veterans had rifle legs and some had grenade legs. They used their excellent individual skills to carry out precise strikes against the Moon Army.

The Japs from the 12th Field Battalion were unable to get close to the city wall, and their own casualties continued to increase.

The major captain frowned, and he began to order the troops to disperse and launch long-range shooting to avoid more casualties.

In the opinion of the Major Captain, if his side feigned an attack, there would be no need to pay heavy losses as a result.

As for their ammunition, can they save as much as possible?

Especially the smoke grenades. Due to too many launches in the south, they don't have many smoke grenades assigned.

The Major Captain is not willing to waste ammunition there, after all, there will be other combat missions in the future.

As for the little Japs from the 12th Field Battalion, they did not notice the approaching danger at all.

At 6:40, those little Japs launched a diversionary attack on the west city wall. They used long-distance shooting to continuously attack the fifth battalion.

The battalion commander of the 5th Battalion, Wu Ziqiang, personally directed the battle, and both sides suffered varying losses.

Of course, Wu Ziqiang's side is not the defensive side. They have city walls for cover. The little devils don't have many bunkers, so the losses will naturally be greater.

At that time, without the slightest warning, intensive firepower struck from the north of the 12th Field Brigade.

The eastern machine gun platoon of the guard company took the lead in firing, with two heavy machine guns and two mortars firing wildly.

The Type 92 heavy machine gun's thirty rounds of ammunition were quickly fired, and the nearby ammunition legs were immediately replaced.

The grenades one after another were put into the mortar one after another, and then fired out quickly.

Bullets and grenades continued to hit the Moon Army troops, and the little devils who were caught off guard fell into a pool of blood one by one.

Company commander Chu Yu personally directed four infantry platoons to advance, and the four infantry platoons advanced in a diamond formation.

After reaching the relevant distance, four infantry platoons assembled twelve grenades and directly launched an intensive artillery attack on the Lunar Army.

A large number of grenades were launched one after another, and the Moon Army troops were completely overwhelmed.

At this time, they were attacking Wu Ziqiang's 5th Battalion from the front, and the Guard Company from the side. Their casualties were increasing.

The captain of the Shaozuo team who commanded the battle had no idea that the Sui Army troops of the Eastern Jin Dynasty would be very good at charging under such circumstances!

He rushed to organize his troops to fight back, and combat orders were quickly sent eastward.

"Machine gun squadron, suppress the Shanxi-Sui Army on the north side and prevent them from advancing."

"The first and second squadrons suppressed the Jinsui Army on the front wall and covered the retreat of the troops."

"The Artillery Squadron, the 3rd and 4th Squadron quickly moved the Shanxi-Sui Army to the north to carry out annihilation operations."

After the Major Captain was briefly surprised, he rushed to make adjustments and arrangements. At this time, he had a huge appetite and was ready to eat the guard company troops in one bite.

The four artillery pieces of the artillery squadron began to turn their muzzles, but they had no time to launch the bombardment, and grenades were fired one after another without any warning.

As shrapnel spread, the Lunar Army artillery suffered casualties. Some shrapnel hit infantry guns and rapid-fire cannons, not to mention the sound of nails.

"Cavalry, Captain Ge Dong, what's wrong, the cavalry of the Jinsui Army appears behind them."

"Damn it, their cavalry troops are advancing rapidly and they are getting closer and closer."

"Captain Ge Dong, they... they were encircled and attacked by the Jinsui Army!"

A little Japanese lieutenant looked towards the rear with a pale face. When he saw a large number of war horses galloping towards him, he shouted in panic.

The major captain glanced behind him and couldn't help but froze on the spot.

At this time, the guard company on the north side had already advanced rapidly, and each squadron of light machine guns launched intensive fire suppression.

A large number of soldiers equipped with submachine guns and rifles quickly pressed on from the north with the help of cover provided by light and heavy machine guns and grenade mortars.

There was a brief panic in the Lunar Army troops. Not long ago, the machine gun squadron fired at the guard company on the north side.

They received the order again, and some of the heavy machine guns of the machine gun squadron turned their guns in a panic, preparing to shoot at the rear cavalry company.

However, the cavalry advanced very quickly, and grenade launchers from each platoon began to launch an artillery bombardment.

Grenades were fired one after another, and the Moon Army's light and heavy machine guns and other firepower were hit one after another.

When Wu Ziqiang saw the guard company and cavalry company attacking, he didn't hesitate at all.

Two infantry companies and six infantry platoons with twelve grenade launchers were all deployed to the city wall.

Those grenade launchers crossed the little devils' legs and launched an intensive bombardment, firing grenades one after another.

It was not until the guard company and cavalry company advanced to less than 200 meters away from the Japanese troops that they stopped firing because they were worried about accidentally injuring their own people.

Of course, some confident veterans are still carrying out precise strikes.

"Bah bang bang."

"Tu tu tu tu."

In the cavalry company, dozens of cavalrymen opened fire with Jin-made submachine guns.

At the same time, twelve light machine guns began to shoot legs. They set up the light machine guns on the ground and fired directly.

The dense bullets were fired at the little devils one after another, and many little devils were instantly beaten into pieces by the bullets.

Company Commander Zhang Wu Zefu led dozens of cavalrymen, brandishing their sabers, and quickly charged into the Moon Army.

The sharp saber quickly cut off the head of a little devil with the help of the impact of the war horse.

The major captain fled in panic, but a cavalryman's saber cut off one of his legs and arms.

Bright red blood spurted out, and the Major Captain couldn't help but let out a scream like a slaughtered pig.

Dozens of cavalrymen were like liquid whirlwinds, rushing over from the Moon Army in an instant. Dozens of little Japs fell to the ground.

Seeing the cavalry leaving, the little devil wanted to organize firepower to attack those cavalry units.

But on their north side, the guard company advanced, firing a large number of light machine guns, submachine guns, and rifles.

The guard company was all elite-level officers and men. With a distance of less than two hundred meters, they could almost always hit the mark.
