"Look, this is Wengcheng. It's only a dozen meters away from the county wall. As long as we can capture Wengcheng quickly, things will be easy to do later!"

When Li Yunlong said it, people were confused. To attack a city, you must first attack the Wengcheng and then attack the city wall...

How can it be easier to conquer Wengcheng?

Just when people were confused, Zhang Dabiao's eyes lit up. He glanced at Li Yunlong and unconsciously raised the corners of his mouth and said:

"Captain, do you mean to use smoke cover to get under the base of his wall and use explosives to blow down his wall?"

Li Yunlong raised his eyebrows, glanced at Zhang Dabiao in surprise, and said with a smile:

"You're so smart, you understood my intention so quickly! That's right, I just want to blow up his city wall!"

Then the conversation changed and Li Yunlong chuckled:

"But for this blast point, we have to choose the city gate. The city wall of the county town is four to five meters thick, so it would be too laborious to blow up. The county town is no better than others. Haha, we have to pick the soft persimmon this time!"

After saying this, Li Yunlong's face straightened up and he began to formally assign tasks.

He handed over all the light and heavy machine guns of the entire regiment to the Second Battalion, and used the Second Battalion as the assault battalion, responsible for capturing the Wengcheng at the north gate, blasting the city gates, and covering the large troops entering the county.

The fourth battalion pretended to attack the camp and went back to the west gate of the county seat. When the battle started, they first made noise to attract the attention of the little devils and provide favorable conditions for the second battalion to capture the barbican city.

Several artillery platoons are responsible for artillery suppression, attack and cover tasks.

After looking at Liu Sheng, Li Yunlong said:

"Liu Sheng, your marksmanship is good. When the fight starts, you must first use the Japs' searchlights to cover the Second Battalion's entry into the Wengcheng. If the Japs use flares, you should take more care of the firepower points on the wall of the Japs!"

Liu Sheng nodded in agreement. Li Yunlong glanced around and finally said:

"As long as the city gate is blown open, all members of the independent regiment will have their bayonets fixed, and I will rush into the county town in batches, seize the city wall, and drink the little devil's bastard soup!"

"yes!"

Following Li Yunlong's order, the independent regiments all moved into action, and each quickly formed an offensive formation according to their respective tasks.

The fourth battalion took a circuitous route back to the west gate, and when it was midnight, they took the lead in feigning an attack.

Liu Sheng was not idle either and put on the kid's auspicious suit that he had captured earlier.

In this kind of large-scale siege battle, you can't outrun bullets and cannonballs by running. You can only camouflage yourself as much as possible and reduce your sense of presence to increase your chances of survival.

Time passed by, and after dinner, it quickly became dark.

Taking advantage of the darkness, all the units of the independent regiment found their attack positions. Liu Shen found a shooting angle that he was most accustomed to, then loaded the gun, loaded it, and pointed the muzzle of the gun at the searchlight on the city gate tower.

In the tranquility before the war, even the air smelled of gunpowder.

The Japs had also been on guard for a long time. Patrols continued at night, and the puppet soldiers and Japs at various attack points did not relax at all. Apparently they also smelled something unusual in the air.

At 12 o'clock at midnight, the battle officially began.

As agreed, the Fourth Battalion took the lead in making noise at the west gate. Along with rows of gunshots and shouts, the silent night was torn apart:

"Come on, eat the little devil's flesh and drink the little devil's blood!"

"Conquer the county town, skin the little devils, and light the sky lanterns!"

The fourth battalion made a lot of noise, and every move touched the nerves of the little Japanese and puppet troops. Under the order of a second lieutenant, the machine guns in Ximen Urn City and the light and heavy machine guns on the city wall all opened fire!

Da da da

The sound of machine gunfire distracted the Japs at the north gate, and at this time, Li Yunlong's signal flare rose into the air.

squeak

Seeing the red flare, Liu Sheng, who had been prepared for a long time, instantly turned on [Eagle Eye] and [Accuracy], and fired a shot at a searchlight!

Snapped

A searchlight shattered in response, and the little devil's vision went dark.

At the same time, the Type 92 infantry artillery in the rear of the independent regiment opened fire together with the four mortar platoons. The shells were poured into the Wengcheng as if they were free, and the little Japanese were blinded.

Liu Sheng's gunshots continued, and the four searchlights on the north city wall were all shattered in less than half a minute.

The northern city wall was completely dark, with only the tracers of cannonballs remaining, drawing beautiful arcs.

It’s dark and good for fishing, so this is the time you’ve been waiting for!

Zhang Dabiao was overjoyed. He stood up with a Czech style and yelled at the commando behind him:

"Comrades, the first victory in this battle belongs to our second battalion. We cannot let the brothers in the artillery platoon take the lead. When we meet on a narrow road, the brave will win. Charge with me!"

The commando soldiers held machine guns and howled, following Zhang Dabiao, shooting while rushing towards the barbican.

Demomen and riflemen followed closely behind.

Although the firepower points on the low wall of Wengcheng were suppressed by artillery fire, the little Japanese and puppet troops inside Wengcheng would not sit still and wait for death.

They hid in watchtowers, under low walls, and in fortresses, extending their machine guns from their respective firing ports and firing directly.

Da da da

The torrent of bullets from several machine guns almost covered the entire arc of Wengcheng. In this empty wilderness, it could take away the lives of a large number of independent regiment soldiers without having to aim at all.

The commando team's bullets also shot at the barbican, but most of them were blocked by the thick wall. Only a few lucky soldiers shot their bullets into the narrow machine gun holes, allowing the commando team to breathe.

Li Yunlong watched nervously from behind.

By comparing the reduction and cessation of firepower on both sides, he could see that the Second Battalion had suffered heavy losses.

Holding the telescope tightly, his knuckles turned white from exerting too much force, but Li Yunlong didn't notice at all. He couldn't help but said:

"Liu Sheng, don't wait for the machine guns on the city wall to fire. Hurry up and attack the Wengcheng! If we can't take the Wengcheng, we won't have a chance when the Japs' artillery fire adjusts!"

As if responding to him, the machine gun holes in the Wengcheng began to misfire one after another.

Although they are still firing intermittently, the suppressive force is no longer so strong!

"Haha, Liu Sheng, give me a good beating for the little devil in Weng City!"

Li Yunlong finally breathed a sigh of relief and laughed:

"Damn it, don't think that if you little devils keep your heads down, I can't do anything to you! I have Liu Sheng, so don't think about being arrogant!"

As soon as he finished speaking, Liu Sheng fired another machine gun hole.

Just as Li Yunlong thought, although the machine guns on the city wall did not fire due to line of sight problems and Liu Sheng could not see it, he was not rigid and did not know how to adapt!

Liu Sheng needs to gain experience!

The kid in Wengcheng is also a kid. Isn't he sweet?

Of course, hitting the puppet troops is really not a good idea!

Just now, Liu Sheng stopped 5 machine gun holes, but only one of the watchtowers was filled with Japs!

Once again, a low-wall machine gun hole was replaced for strafing. When the CD of [Accuracy] was good, Liu Sheng fired while praying:

"It must be a kid, but not a fucking puppet army!"

Snapped

The machine gun holes on the low wall also misfired.
Chapter completed!
