enter the city
On the 26th day and night, the Engineer Brigade launched a general attack on the Wangdu.
After the eldest cousin used the only remaining ammunition to bomb the city walls, causing multiple collapses, an advance company of the Engineer Brigade carried explosives to attack under the cover of night.
Under the night, machine gun fire roared, and the sound of explosions inside and outside the city walls were filled with.
Rows of barbed wire blocked the engineer company, and landmines buried in the dark blew people into the sky, bullets flying everywhere and blood flowed.
The engineers worked hard to blow up the barbed wire, consolidated the occupied areas in the mixed ruins of the building, used the existing short walls to avoid bullets, and bypassed the deadly firepower from every gap.
In the early morning of the 27th, the engineering company that had been holding on all night waited for reinforcements from the rear.
Zuo Lan commanded the remaining troops to break into the occupied safe zone in batches, replacing the exhausted advance company.
The endless attack stayed on one-eighth of the capital, and the bridgehead had also been established, and the attack was suspended.
The engineers in front of them stopped at a strong defense point, which was the position that Wang Jun took advantage of his terrain.
Soldiers set up blocking points at high places, and the streets used rags collected everywhere to form individual bunkers, and machine guns cooperated with light and dark fire.
Zuo Lan personally came to the front line of dangers in the dark. Only at the forefront can he know what the situation of the battle is.
There was not much shelter between the two sides, and after all, landmines were buried or explosives were placed in the land.
Some seemingly safe areas and breakthroughs are obvious traps. Zuo Lan is not in a hurry to gain or lose for a moment, and there is no need to let the troops rush up in broad daylight.
Even if it is hard, it will work.
"This is very empty, it's still far from the city wall." Zuo Lan faced the Wang Jun's defensive stronghold not far away, "Get the map over, and there is a pen."
After taking the map, Zuo Lan marked it with a pen on the map. He spent a while in the capital and was able to calculate the terrain clearly.
He quickly marked the map on what he could see in front, such as machine gun points, possible minefields, observation posts, and military stations.
All things, as long as they can be seen and possible, are probably marked one by one.
He then ordered the messengers to send the map to the artillery troops in the rear, so that the artillery could cover these positions.
Because Zuo Lan doesn't understand how the artillery gauges measure and adjust them, she can only use this stupid method.
When the messenger ran away, he realized that he might as well just get the artillery commander over? Why bother running around one by one? Wasting manpower and material resources.
It is unlikely that I want to chase the messenger. I have carefully selected those who are good at running, so I can catch up with it.
More than ten minutes later, Arnold brought his radio station to the place where Zuo Lan was. The journey was quite stable, but you could hear some gunfire after moving forward.
Arnold not only carried a heavy transmitter, but also held a rifle in one hand, and was always ready to participate in the war.
Zuo Lan looked at it and teased a few times: "How many meanings are you? Your Excellency Luo Han's secretary is going to the battlefield with a gun?"
"Don't forget the ink!"
"What an anxious temper. Ask me the artillery commander if I have received the map."
"map?"
"Don't forget the ink!"
Arnold was defeated. She looked around and found that it was not suitable for sending newspapers. She had to walk to a higher place. The woman didn't care about danger. She carried the gun together and used the collapsed wall to climb to a building.
Upstairs of the building.
The building is half missing from the south, and it was blown up by shells during the siege.
But hesitated that the building's north-facing vision was too poor, Zuo Lan did not choose to use that place as an observation point.
As Arnold climbed upstairs in agile posture, she quickly took out the heavy transmitter and placed it on the bed board, and skillfully wrote the message on paper.
A few minutes later, she told Zuo Lan that the map was not received behind for the time being.
The messenger didn't run that fast, and Zuo Lan also stabilized his mind.
Just as he was about to poke his head out and looked, a bullet flew over his head and hit a engineer behind him.
"Secret! Hidden! There are snipers!"
With loud appeal, Zuo Lan also buried her head a little lower.
The engineer fell to the ground, which immediately attracted another engineer to drag him, and the dragged engineer also fell to the ground.
"Don't expose it! Hide!"
While keeping the engineers hidden, Zuo Lan quickly rolled away from the place just now. He flipped behind a wall, trying to determine the position of the sniper.
The position of the sniper is too difficult to find, with a shooting distance of at least 150 meters, and there are much more positions available for shooting at this distance.
Because the sniper was not found for a long time, four engineers had been shot and killed one after another.
The one who shot and killed these engineers was the old squad leader Lei who was hiding on the Wang Jun front. He hid in the shadows and used his good eyesight to capture the small dots moving a hundred meters away.
The one who assisted the squad leader Lao Lei to observe was Nawu. He was searching for the next target with a telescope.
Because it is in a place where the sun cannot shine, the lenses are not reflected.
"Lao Lei, the shooting skills are quite accurate."
"You can practice it after playing more."
"Confirm to kill, the next one, fifteen meters west of the previous target, behind the earthen wall."
"Can break through."
After saying that, the old squad leader Lei kept his muzzle in a clean and neat shooting, and the bullet penetrated the wall.
Behind a small earth wall, an engineer fell down with force, and an arm was exposed outside the earth wall.
Nawu observed for a few seconds, and the exposed arm had not moved at all.
"Confirm to kill."
"I'm going to load up."
"receive."
Almost every once in a while, a bullet from the old squad leader Lei would be shot out on the Wang Jun’s defense line, and then an engineer would be shot and fall to the ground.
Arnold was full of energy in front of the transmitter. She picked up the gun and planned to defeat Wang Jun's sniper.
"No!" Zuo Lan cried out the crazy woman who was eager to try, "You are the only telegrapher here, your role is greater than a sharpshooter, so endure it!"
"I can kill him."
"Don't be impulsive, it's going to be done soon."
In the next few minutes, the sniper of Wang Jun stopped moving, and there was no target to attack in the sight of the old squad leader Lei. He asked Nawu: "Inspector General, where is the next target?"
"It's all hidden, let's move and go to the next place."
"clear."
After packing up the equipment, the two of them quit from the shadows, and other members of the class, including the teenager, were also waiting in it.
“Move.”
Old squad leader Lei took the lead with a gun in his arms, and the inspector general moved to other places with the soldiers in this squad.
Just as they left, two shells landed nearby.
Zuo Lan plucked up the courage to observe the landing point of the shell, and Wang Jun's sniper did not shoot again.
Arnold read out his eldest cousin's telegram: "Request observation and confirmation."
"The bounce point is accurate, no correction is required, covering the blow."
Then, shells rushed over, knocking down the machine gun point, knocking down the bunker, and detonating the explosives.
The Wang Army soldiers either hid in the bunker or retreated to a place where the shells were not covered.
“Very accurate.”
Zuo Lan also admires the ability of this artillery commander. The artillery has been used to the superb level. Not only is it accurate, but the artillery commanded is also accurate.
This kind of commander is a treasure everywhere, but this big treasure is still in Zuo Lan's own hands.
The continuous bombing lasted less than ten minutes, and my cousin had exhausted all the remaining ammunition. No matter how good it was, it was still a waste of skills.
Fortunately, due to this artillery fire support, Zuo Lan and his engineers advanced three hundred meters.
The Wang army withdrew from the carefully set defense. The soldiers were unwilling to accept it. Unfortunately, everything in the city was so fragile and vulnerable, and could not be as strong as the fortifications outside the city.
Although the engineers advanced three hundred meters, they still lost a lot, bombed by undetonated landmines, suppressed by machine guns, and shot and killed by Wang Jun soldiers guarding the house.
However, the Wang army soldiers who had successfully retreated once again curbed the Qiang Qing army's advancement, and the engineers who were too fast were held down by bullets shot from everywhere. Old Squad Leader Lei returned to his old career and shot indiscriminately at the engineers who were in sight.
Zuo Lan faces the defensive head in front, and the front is almost at the main urban area, and the streets are no longer blocked.
Almost every street is extremely vast. A machine gun can block the streets for a whole day, creating a situation where one man can keep his guard at the end of thousands of men.
