About a hundred meters away from the gap, the 3rd Battalion and 8th Company of the 626th Regiment, who came to block the gap, were suppressed by the Japanese behind a group of houses and were unable to move for a while.
Under the cover of grenades and machine guns, the Japanese quickly occupied the gap in the city wall, forcing them to attack by force.
The Japanese army has just occupied the gap and has not built any bunkers or fortifications. This is also their best opportunity to counterattack. If after the Japanese increase their troops, various defensive facilities have been built. If they want to attack by force at that time, they may lose money.
It will increase a lot.
The eighth company commander squatted behind a low wall, staring at the gap with eyes that were about to burst into flames. His mission was to block the gap and prevent the Japanese from entering the city. If he just let the Japanese in, how could he?
I have to explain it to the battalion commander.
"In a moment, one row will go around from the left and use the alley to approach the gap; the second row will go around from the right and approach the Tutu Temple over there; the third row will follow me here to attract the attention of the Japanese." The Eighth Company Commander observed carefully.
After studying the surrounding terrain, a battle plan was formulated.
The soldiers immediately started moving, and all the machine gunners gathered here, deploying all the company's only four heavy machine guns and twelve Czech light machine guns here. The first and second platoons responsible for the surprise attack were all equipped with light weapons.
, in order to have strong maneuverability.
Watching those soldiers disappear into the night, the Eighth Company Commander returned and yelled at the machine gunners, "Hit me hard to attract the enemy's firepower."
Sixteen light and heavy machine guns opened fire at the same time, the sound was quite spectacular, the city wall on the opposite side was hit with flames flying everywhere, and the noise rose.
The Japanese did not show any weakness, and opened fire with light and heavy machine guns, mixed with grenade launches, turning the place into a scorched earth.
The battle between the two sides was locked in a stalemate, and it looked like it would never end in a while.
On the left, a platoon leader led the soldiers to use the cover of the buildings to sneak towards the city wall. The route they took was between low buildings, and from time to time they had to climb over waist-high earth walls.
Or crawl through someone else's fence.
In this way, they got closer to the city wall, but when they came to the courtyard closest to the city wall, they found that it was still about twenty meters away from the gap occupied by the Japanese.
It's about twenty meters, although the distance is not too far, but the Japs are heavily guarded there, with several machine guns standing ready. If you want to rush through this open area, you will probably suffer heavy losses.
A long line of people were crouching on the top of the low wall, staring at the Japanese on the opposite side, thinking hard about a solution.
A soldier beside him looked at the open space, and then said to himself, "It's so far away, how can we get there, unless we turn into a bird and fly over?"
"What did you say?" A platoon leader's heart suddenly moved, and he hurriedly asked, "What did you just say?"
"Platoon leader, I'm just complaining." The soldier thought that the platoon leader was angry, so he hurriedly explained, but the platoon leader ignored this and said in a deep voice, "Just say what I asked you to say, there are not so many
nonsense."
The soldier didn't dare to talk any more and said what he just said word for word.
The platoon leader chewed these words carefully, and suddenly his eyes lit up, "By the way, there is a way."
"What can I do?"
The leader of the row pointed at a tall pine tree under the city wall opposite. The pine tree was more than ten meters high. Even four or five people holding hands could not get around it. It looked like it was thousands of years old.
The branches on this pine tree are criss-crossed, and the thinnest main branch is as thick as a human arm. It would be no problem for a person to stand on it.
The platoon leader turned around and shouted to a soldier next to him, "Zhou Weiguo!"
A thin soldier walked over, carrying a cloth bag on his back, which was bulging as if something was stuffed inside.
When he came to a platoon leader, Zhou Weiguo said, "Platoon leader, what's going on?"
"Did you see the pine tree over there?" A row leader stretched out his finger and pointed at the pine tree more than ten meters away, and then continued, "Shoot the rope to that tree for me."
"This distance is a bit far, platoon leader." Zhou Weiguo visually measured the distance and frowned, "I'll give it a try and see if I can succeed."
The platoon leader glared, "It's not about trying, it's about making sure I succeed."
Zhou Weiguo could only nod his head, then took off the cloth bag from behind, opened it, and took out the contents.
After three strokes, five divisions and two divisions, he finished assembling the items inside. It turned out to be a crossbow, but it looked a bit rough. Compared with the multi-functional sniper crossbow of the Huya Special Forces Brigade, it was obviously more than one grade behind.
The sniper crossbow of the Huya Special Warfare Brigade was shot by Mo Yanran. Not only could it shoot crossbow arrows, but it could also shoot some supporting equipment, such as climbing ropes and so on.
Using the power of the sniper crossbow, the soldiers of the Huya Special Operations Brigade can even shoot the rope a hundred meters away, with an error of no more than ten centimeters. Of course, this can only be achieved with the cooperation of a sniper scope.
Lifting up the assembled crossbow, Zhou Weiguo pressed a very thin rope into the sword groove, then installed the cloud-shaped hook at the front, and finally connected the rope to the cloud-shaped hook.
Lifting up the sniper crossbow, Zhou Weiguo wrinkled his nose and sniffed the air, determined the wind direction and speed, and silently calculated in his mind the angle that needed to be corrected.
When everything was almost done, Zhou Weiguo raised his crossbow, closed one eye and aimed at the ancient pine tree opposite. As he held his breath, the crosshair of the crossbow was aimed at the ancient pine tree opposite.
A branch of a tree.
"Whoosh!"
The crossbow fired the rope, crossed a distance of more than ten meters, and accurately flew into the branches of the ancient tree. Due to the effect of inertia, the cloud-shaped hook wound around a branch as thick as a human leg.
Two turns, and then hung the rope.
Zhou Weiguo's rope is made of several kinds of raw materials and is very tough. Even if several people pull hard at the same time, it can still stay in place, so it is easy for one person to pass by.
He tied the other end of the rope to a stilt in the yard, then turned back to the platoon leader and said, "Okay, platoon leader."
Seeing Zhou Weiguo erecting the rope bridge, a platoon leader waved his hand and was the first to rush towards the rope bridge, "Follow me."
Starting from the platoon leader, the soldiers climbed one by one along the rope towards the opposite side, each one cautiously, lest they make any noise.
The rope curved quite a bit under the pressure of four or five people, but it was still three or four meters above the ground, and because of the cover of darkness, the Japanese soldiers at the gap in the city wall could not be seen at all.
Soon, the platoon leader climbed to the end of the rope. He reached out and grabbed the branch, jumped lightly onto the tree, and then slid down the tree.
The soldiers came over one after another, and a few stayed over there, preparing to attack the Japanese from both sides and catch them by surprise.
This big tree is already close to the city wall, so everyone can get close to the city wall without being discovered by the Japanese.
The platoon leader whispered, "Check weapons."
Everyone pulled the bolts of their guns and checked the guns in their hands. Because there were gunshots everywhere, the Japanese couldn't hear the sound of pulling the bolts of guns very close to them, and they couldn't detect that this group was about to attack them.
Attacking kamikaze fighters.
Seeing that everyone was ready, the platoon commander took a deep breath, held his shell gun, and then suddenly stepped out from behind the wall, and fired a shot as soon as he raised his hand.
The Japanese at the gap in the city wall fell down one by one, and then grenades flew out from the corner of the city wall not far away from them, covering the Japanese position.
Boom boom boom, the grenade exploded into pieces, the Japanese were thrown out from behind the fortification, and even the fortification was blown into a mess.
"Come on!" A platoon leader rushed out from the darkness with a shell gun in hand, shouting and taking the lead in charging towards the Japanese soldiers. The soldiers behind him followed up while shooting.
At this time, in an earth temple on the right side of the gap in the city wall, the temple door suddenly opened, and then a group of Northeastern Army soldiers rushed out from inside. The leader was the second platoon leader. They also roared and rushed towards the Japanese position.
The Eighth Company Commander, who was holding down the enemy's firepower from the front, stood up excitedly, picked up the light machine gun beside him, and roared, "Brothers, charge with me, seize the position, and drive the little Japs out."
"Come on, drive the little devil out!" the soldiers shouted, rushing towards the gap in the city wall like a tide.
They were caught off guard, and a small group of Japanese soldiers at the gap in the city wall were beaten back. Although they fought hard, they were already at a disadvantage, so in the end they had to retreat outside the city wall.
Of course, the eighth company commander knew that the Japanese would not give up and would definitely organize a counterattack soon. Therefore, after occupying the gap in the city wall, he ordered his soldiers to change the direction of the Japanese fortification bunker and rebuild it to face the outside.
In this way, the Japanese fortifications and bunkers can be used to block the Japanese attack.
Sure enough, not long after the position was built, the Japanese bombardment came as scheduled. Fortunately, they had already hid in the shelter, so the Japanese bombardment did not cause many casualties.
While paying attention to the Japanese shelling, the eighth company commander shouted to the soldiers around him, "Attention, everyone, the Japanese will launch an attack after the Japanese shelling. Everyone must be more vigilant. In addition, we must be prepared for the Japanese's roundabout sneak attacks to avoid encountering the same enemy as the Japanese."
destiny."
The soldiers responded one after another and rushed to their respective fighting positions.
The first platoon commander looked at the city walls on both sides of the gap, then turned to the eighth company commander and shouted, "Company commander, we can send a few people up. This can greatly suppress the Japanese firepower and facilitate defense."
The eighth company commander was overjoyed when he heard this. He immediately ordered a platoon leader and several people to climb up the city wall along the jagged city bricks, and set up a machine gun position on each side to prepare to suppress the enemy.
At this time, the Japs' troops had already come up. Their machine guns opened the way, while the infantry hid behind a tank, lowered their heads and moved forward with guns in hand, preparing to retake the gap in the city wall.
