Chapter 65 The Longest Day and Night (14)

The battlefield situation reversed instantly. The Japanese army was in a bright position, and hundreds of people gathered together to become the living targets used by the Chinese team to revenge. The 12mm caliber heavy machine gun bullets could even penetrate the bodies of many people and end the castration. Whenever they were hit, they would fall to the ground with their tendons. Whenever they fell, they could no longer stand up with their own strength.

The combat capabilities of the A-type division were indeed extraordinary. After the initial panic, the Japanese army was not in a mess and quickly lay down, finding the hidden objects around them, and began to organize counterattacks. The two sides fought close-rangely on the street dozens of meters in front of the Duizhi Hall.

The Qing army was in a dark area, and the Japanese army could only rely on the other party's muzzle to spray fire. The Japanese soldiers who were ordered to extinguish the fire point in front of their positions were knocked to the ground by bullets as soon as they got up, and they struggled to call for help.

The Japanese army had a large number of people. It can be said that during this total assault, Shijo Takao suppressed all the troops in his hands. Due to the vision, although the number of Qing soldiers was large, it was impossible to take care of the entire Japanese army in an area that was only 200 meters long and 50 meters wide. It was impossible to take care of the entire Japanese army. They could only attack the enemy within the scope of their eyes. Fortunately, the positions of both sides were intertwined, and the Japanese artillery was useless. Although there were many people, the firepower points of the Qing army were concentrated in the central area, which was not something that the Japanese army could break. So ten minutes after the battle began, the two sides were in a stalemate and no one could do anything to each other.

Shijo Takao was listening to the battle report of Keon Ikebu and Shijo Kametaro. He didn't say anything, but the pride in his heart was indescribable! This was the first time his son led his troops to fight, and he actually achieved such an exciting result. I really didn't expect it! Seeing him standing in front of him with a heroic spirit, he nodded with satisfaction, "There are only the enemy command center in the stairs and the Central ** team that is deploying defense on the left? How many people are there?"

"Although our war has made some progress, only a very small number of Qing troops have been eliminated. Shijokun and I believe that there are no less than 4,000 soldiers in the building and on the left side of the enemy." Hitobe Juan said, "Major General, our current position is the most dangerous stage since the war begins. Once the Chinese organize a strong counterattack, these soldiers of the imperial kingdom will face a worse situation than they were facing our attack just now."

Before Shijo Takao expressed his agreement, the Japanese army had already organized the Qing army positions near the official defense line, and the roar of heavy machine guns sounded. The Japanese army was most damaged by this weapon, so it was obvious that it was heard.

"It seems that the Chinese have begun to organize counterattacks." Shijo Longge quickly issued a combat order, "Let Zhongshan Jun and Tori Jun lead the troops into the government hall. We must take down the government hall and the Qing army command system inside before the Qing army breaks through our defense line."

"Major General, I and Shijo-kun request to join the battle."

"No!" Shijo Takao shook his head and looked at the two young men with pity, "You retreat for the time being and wait for a while to have the opportunity to join the war, but not now."

Although Ikebu Kyuki did not think that his physical condition was necessary to rest, the commander had to obey the orders. He raised his hand to salute at the same time as Shijo Kametaro, and the two turned around and retreated.

In front of the door of the prefecture hall, two Japanese squadrons began to organize an attack. The squadron leader was two majors, one named Zhongshanmen and the other named Asahi Asahi, who led his subordinates to rush into the stairs.

The Qing army in the building was not outdone. They had heard the gunshots outside and knew that it was friendly troops who came to support him. They were even more excited. They extinguished all the candlelights and shot fiercely at the figures in the bright spots outside. The two sides were in a lively manner.

Both attacks by the Japanese army were repelled by the enemy. Zhongshanmen and Asahi Asahi temporarily stopped attacking and gathered together to discuss countermeasures, "...I don't know how the Chinese attacked?"

Asaro Toyota took off his hat, twisted a handful of rainwater on it, and put it on again, "Yes!" he said, "If we continue like this, even if we enter the hall, our people will be almost damaged. We have to think of some other solutions - if we drag it until dawn, it will be too bad for us."

"I want to... take someone to attack again." Zhongshanmen said, his eyes floating around, and suddenly he had an idea, "When you go in through the window, what do you think?"

"Hey? This is a good method!" Asaro Torihi slapped his thigh and shouted loudly, "When you break into the windows on both sides, there will definitely not be many people there - in fact, there will not be too much space for many people to concentrate."

The two of them quickly agreed on the solution, and Zhongshanmen led people to continue to rush in front of the gate. Asahi Tori led some soldiers to climb the wall from left to right into the room, launching attacks on three sides at the same time. At least they could take down the hall of the Mansion Hall - as long as they entered the hall, it would be much easier to attack upwards.

The Japanese soldiers roared and launched the third attack. This time the attack was very strong. Two hundred soldiers fought bravely and rushed forward desperately with the Qing army's bullets. The troops guarding the hall of the Qing army were the Ninth Battalion troops and some soldiers who had just escaped from the position that was broken by the Japanese army. They had no heavy weapons in their hands and few fire grenades, not to mention heavy machine guns.

Although the combat power of this 15-shot fast-loading rifle cannot be underestimated, it seems a little overwhelmed when facing more and more Japanese troops attacking. The bullet caliber is small and can cause damage to people, but to a degree it is far less effective than that of heavy machine guns. The latter basically gets a bullet and loses combat ability immediately. In terms of rifles, it has no such effect. Not to mention the psychological impact of the Japanese army's break-out fighting, which has ignoring the oncoming bullets.

Du Xinyuan commanded the soldiers to resist barely, while walking back and forth in the corridor on the right from time to time. "I'm watching all of you, be careful not to let the Japanese crawl in through the window!"

"Don't worry, boss, little Japanese wants to come in from here, so you have to ask your brothers if they agree."

Du Xinyuan had no time to talk nonsense with them. He wanted to go to the corridor on the left, but the battle in the middle hall was going fiercely and he didn't have the chance to pass through the hall. He had to pray secretly: I hope the brothers over there can be more vigilant and not take advantage of loopholes for the Japanese.

Outside the building, Asahi Asahi led the remaining soldiers to attack the Qing army's position from the window on the first floor. As the two of them discussed, the Qing army also strengthened the defense force here, but the window was small and the area of ​​each house was limited, so it was impossible to allow too many soldiers to be in it. This gave the Japanese army an opportunity to take advantage of it.

The bullets were scratched by the shoulder of Tori Aoro, and a hole was torn through the military uniform. Blood was flowing from the wound like a baby's mouth. He didn't even look at it. The fire grenade in his right hand was accurately thrown in from the window, and a loud bang. Five or six Qing soldiers inside were either killed or injured. Tori Aoro took a step forward and wanted to enter the room, but the wound on his shoulder made him hum in pain and fell down again. He muttered and scolded in his native language.

Asahiro hid under the window, picked up his rifle, shot inward inward, and then whistled at the soldier lying in front of him, "Hey! Go up!"

The soldier did not dare to be negligent, so he leaned down to the window and looked up, confirming that all the Qing guards had died in battle. Then he supported his hands and put his body on the window ridge. Before he could move, an injured soldier inside actually raised his gun and hit the other party's chest with a "bang!". The Japanese soldier screamed and fell down in the air.

Seeing that the situation was not good, the other soldiers did not even dare to peek at the window ridge, and they squatted under the window and hid themselves. Even so, it was not enough. The Japanese army intended that the Qing army see through it, and the soldiers were ambushing under the window ridge separated from the other side, holding a fire grenade in their hands, pulled open the fuse, and put it down the window ridge.

The killing effect of this method is unparalleled! The Qing soldiers only felt a roar on their backs, mixed with the wailings of the Japanese before their death. A large cloud of smoke floated in from the window, and everyone looked at each other and smiled.

Zhou Cheng and Bao Qibao could clearly see the Japanese army's battle process blocked in front of the building window. At the same time, they were worried and could fight back once, twice, third or fourth time? I was afraid that the final result would still be to attack the building for the enemy. But their reinforcements also encountered great trouble at this time. The Japanese army was very large, as if they were unable to kill. Thirty-five heavy machine guns had been replaced in batches. Now, some of them had turned dark red, and the rain fell on them, evaporating water mist.

"If this continues, the building will be broken by the Japanese sooner or later?" Bao Qibao shouted in Zhou Cheng's ear.

"What do you think you should do?"

"I can only attack inside."

"No! It's too dark inside, the situation is complicated. Maybe my brothers think we are Japanese! Is it wrong to die at the hands of our own people?"

"You have to think of a command." Bao Qibao said, "I will take people in. When you come in, you will think of calling a command so that you will not be injured by accident."

"What should you do if you rushed in for the first time?"

"Will I shout when I get to the door?" Bao Qibao opened his mouth wide, smiled, and patted his comrades' shoulders hard, "That's it!"

"Then... OK." Zhou Cheng nodded decisively and grabbed Bao Qibao again, "Wait a minute, I will take someone forward and give you fire support!" After saying that, he turned around and made a gesture to the brothers behind him, signaling them to stop shooting for the time being, and he climbed up, "Brothers, fight with me!"

The Qing army didn't know what the chief was thinking. Do you still have to attack against the trend when facing so many enemies? But the commander went up, how could he hide behind? He raised his rifle and hugged his waist to start attacking, "Everything!Everything!" The heavy machine gun provided firepower support behind, and the soldiers of the first battalion ran forward fiercely. With less than twenty meters, Zhou Cheng jumped and sang wildly.

The Japanese army did not expect the Chinese to be so crazy. They were suppressed by the opponent's firepower so that they could not even lift their heads. They buried themselves deeply and avoided bullets. Zhou Cheng fired with one hand and greeted him with the other hand. Bao Qibao seized this opportunity, led the troops to jump up, and shouted loudly, "It's your own person, don't shoot!" He ran to the direction of the Duzhi Hall and ran for life with all his might!
