Chapter 726 Unexpected Siege
"Target, 15° to the left of the front, 4300 meters away! Let it go!" Xu Jun, the deputy head of the artillery regiment, took a walkie-talkie and commanded in a unified manner. The shell dragged the flames and flew out of the muzzle, viciously smashing towards the little devil's artillery position.

The little devil artillerymen were in a hurry to move their positions—suddenly, flares flew over their heads, and everyone realized that this was the enemy guiding their artillerymen, so they dared not stay where they were.It's just that the revenge came so quickly and the shelling density was so high that they didn't expect it.The thrilling howling of shells tearing through the air sounded, and many devils screamed strangely, or ran around looking for places to hide, or just lay down on the ground, like ostriches.

Aoki watched dozens of shells draw beautiful traces in the night sky, and then smashed down towards the artillery positions of his own side. His face was blue and white under the illumination of the flares, and his expression was ferocious and strange.Suddenly he laughed loudly, and said through gritted teeth: "If we have fifty thousand people buried with us, even if the whole army dies in battle, we will be worth it!"

There was a "rumbling" explosion, and the fireworks all over the sky immediately flooded the devil's artillery positions.Then, before all the devils recovered from the shock, the second and third rounds of shelling came again.As long as the artillery regiment of the Mountain Division does not fire, once it fires, it will bring a devastating blow to the little devil, and...

With the destruction of the Japanese artillery unit, the devils left behind in the city of LY couldn't stay any longer.The devil officer who commanded the reserve force reacted quickly, and immediately dispatched a few teams to outflank the place where Xiao Liang and the others started to live. The sound of "tattling" footsteps resounded everywhere on the streets of LY, mixed with the howling of a wolf dog or two from time to time. , the residents of LY City were terrified, many families huddled together, children hid in their parents' arms and sobbed softly.Everyone stared at the red light coming through the windows in fear, wondering when the sound of gunfire would stop.

Outside the west gate, Guo Muyi, the temporary teacher of the Mountain Division, looked at the city of LY, which was glowing red with half the sky, and suddenly yelled: "Not good!"

Huang Haifu slapped himself hard, then picked up the walkie-talkie and gave Jiang Banjun and Qi Mingshan an order: "Start the attack, and you have to take down the Ximen within half an hour."

In the original plan, Ximen was just a feint attack. As long as he could destroy the devil's military warehouse, the mission would be considered complete.Now that Huang Haifu suddenly changed his order, Jiang Banjun saw the growing fire in LY City, and immediately understood the reason.Without saying a word, he immediately asked the troops to increase the shooting frequency, and at the same time began to arrange siege missions.

Qi Mingshan is the brigade commander of Renqiu Chariot Brigade. He was still a little confused when he received the new order, and asked, "Boss, why did you change your mind..."

Huang Haifu didn't wait for him to finish, he pressed the send button and shouted: "Didn't you see the fire in the city? We must take down LY, and then we can save as many people as we can!"

"Yes, I understand!"

The 5-minute rapid fire turned the Japanese artillery positions into a sea of ​​flames. After the shelling stopped, there was an endless sound of explosions, and the ignited fire dyed the nearby night sky a faint red.Then, something unexpected happened to both sides of the war—as several houses near the devil artillery position were hit by shells and ignited by the fireballs flying out of the explosion, the fire ignited, and the fire took advantage of the wind, and the fire broke out in a short time. Within minutes, the fire was out of control.Some people rushed out of the burning house with their children and children. Facing the burning flames, they had no choice but to flee in panic.

Xiao Liang and the others were running quickly along an alley to the Devil's military supplies warehouse. They felt that the light behind them was getting brighter and hotter. They stopped and looked back, and their hearts sank.

There are still our people in LY City! Ly city is densely populated, and once the fire burns, it is almost impossible to put it out.Turning the entire city of LY into ruins violated Zhang Zizhong's original intention of ordering the attack on LY, and it was not what Huang Haifu and Guo Da wanted to see.If the whole city of LY really turns into a sea of ​​flames, how many ordinary people will die, Huang Haifu and Shandi division will turn from heroes to sinners who slaughtered their compatriots.

Xiao Liang stomped his feet and said, "It's broken, it's broken!"

A soldier asked him, "Yingzuo, what shall we do now?"

Xiao Liang gritted his teeth: "The devil's warehouse must be destroyed, otherwise we have done nothing in this battle. Brothers, let's go!"

A large number of people began to emerge in the alley. Many old people watched their homes being engulfed in flames and let out a terrifying cry. They cursed the conscienceless Japanese devils, not knowing that it was caused by the shelling of their own troops.

Xiao Liang and the others hurried past with red faces and gritted teeth, not daring to stay here even for a minute.

Ximen, the offensive and defensive battle between the offensive and defensive sides has begun.Aoki didn't care about the military warehouse anymore, under his order, the Japanese reserve team all rushed towards the west gate, at the same time, the devils from the other three sects left the city one after another and turned towards the west gate.

Aoki thinks he has figured out the strength of the attacking side, and he is ready to put all his eggs in one basket.Not only did he want to defend LY, a city destined to be turned into ruins, but he also wanted to encircle and annihilate the enemy army, so as to teach Ouyang Yun a painful lesson for the Xuebing army.

The soaring fire that ignited in LY City left Guo Da and the others stunned. There are at least [-] devils in the city of Ly, and they have been prepared for a long time. It is impossible for the mountain division to capture them in such a short period of time. Naturally, the devil soldiers will not go crazy and set fire to their supplies.If it wasn't ignited by the little devil, there is only one possibility. The shelling of the mountain division ignited the fire.In war, accidental injury is inevitable. The artillery of the Xuebing Army is sharp. Will the city of LY be set ablaze? This result, whether it is Li Zongren or Zhang Zizhong, must have thought of it, but they all chose to avoid this issue. Guo Da He and Huang Haifu also pretended not to know.

Huang Haifu really didn't know that there were very few people in the mountain division who had experience in this kind of large-scale siege warfare. They didn't even know what kind of devastating blow dozens of heavy artillery would bring to a city.Guo Muyi should be clear, but as an orthodox soldier, he will not care about these at all.On this point, he, Li Zongren and Zhang Zizhong have the same thinking.As long as the Japanese army can be severely damaged, as long as the Japanese army's attack on Xuzhou can be delayed, no matter how big the sacrifice is, it is worthwhile.

Guo Da also wanted to have this "enlightenment", but he couldn't do it: "Fifty thousand ordinary people!" He thought so, and his heart ached.He pushed open the top cover of the armored vehicle and shouted loudly: "Send my order, speed up the march, and head towards the north gate of LY."

With a bang, the West City Gate was finally blasted.Fragments of the iron-clad wooden city gate flew in all directions, and amidst the smoke and fire, two blunt-tipped armor-piercing projectiles flew out.The Japanese army built fortifications inside the city gate early on and installed two anti-aircraft guns. Now, they finally seized the opportunity to severely damage the tanks of the Xuebing army.The distance was too close, and a Jiguang tank in the lead was hit before it had time to react.The bomb penetrated the frontal armor and exploded. A few seconds later, the ammunition in the tank was detonated and a more violent explosion occurred.

"Bastard!" Qi Mingshan punched the roof of the tank in pain, smashed his left hand and didn't realize it, he pressed the button with his right hand, and he shouted loudly: "Quick, retreat to both sides, and suppress the devil's firepower on the city wall!" , cover the infantry brothers to charge!"

This is a tactic formulated before the war.The Jiguang tank is too big and can barely pass through the city gate. The streets in LY city are not spacious, so even if it participates in street fighting, it will have little effect.According to Guo Muyi's instructions, after the tank regiment breaks through the city gate, it will be used as a fort.

"Tick tick!" The charge horn blew, and the infantry of the Eagle Cliff Brigade got up from the individual pit, and rushed to the west gate with shouts under the leadership of the front-line officers.

In the opening of the west gate, the little devil's [-]-type heavy machine gun roared immediately, and the students from the class who rushed the most were caught off guard and were all knocked down by bullets.The sacrifice of his comrades made the students who followed him furious. The officers and soldiers of the Eagle Cliff Brigade shouted the slogan of revenge for their brothers, and rushed up one after another.Sweeping guns and throwing grenades, the two sides fought desperately around the Ximen Cave.

"Brother, you can't continue fighting like this! Don't you want to attack the city? Xiao Liang, has he not sent back the news of the Devil's Warehouse?" After pressing up one after another, the result was only an increase in casualties, and Huang Hailu couldn't hold back. Angry, he ran to Huang Haifu and questioned him.

Huang Haifu ignored him, but called Zuo Pingan, the brigade commander of Bawang brigade, and asked him to take his troops to attack the south gate.

Huang Hailu was furious. They were all brothers who came down from Bawang Mountain. Many of them had been together day and night for several years. This made him feel so distressed that he would die.He roared, "Brother!"

Huang Haifu looked at him quietly and said, "Ah Lu, remember, we are soldiers now, soldiers who protect our home and country, understand?"

Huang Hailu looked at him, his arrogance gradually subsided, and finally turned around and left without saying a word.When he returned to the front line, he said to Jiang Banjun, "I'll take people up next."

Jiang Banjun immediately denied it: "No way!"

Huang Hailu glared at him, and then shouted to the left and right: "Brothers, follow me if you have the guts. TNND, I don't believe it, here we still have our Bawangshan hard to beat!"

"I'll go!" "Deputy brigade commander, and me!" "Second leader, I'll follow you!"... Nearly a hundred people from the reserve team came out at once.Others wanted to rush forward, but Huang Hailu stopped them with a wave of his hand. He said, "Just one row is enough!"

Jiang Banjun was in a hurry, grabbed him and shouted: "Second brother! If you want to go, I will go first, and you stay and command the troops."

Huang Hailu looked at him, and said in a deep voice: "Third brother, I admit that I am not as good as you in arranging troops and fighting, but you are definitely not as good as me in charging. Don't fight, I may not die!"

"Second brother!"

Huang Hailu patted him hard on the shoulder, then walked up to the group of officers and soldiers who volunteered and shouted loudly: "Stand at attention, look to the right! Take a break and report the number!"

With the sound of "咵", the soldiers quickly lined up, and then began to count: "One, two... thirty——"

"Stop, it's you guys!" Huang Hailu shouted at the people behind him, and shouted, "Those who report the number, come out—that one, you go back, thirty people are enough."

Jiang Banjun stepped forward and wanted to stop him, but he stared back at him, so he had no choice but to accept this reality.

Another flare rose into the sky, and under the light of this flare, Huang Hailu looked at the brothers who came out and grinned: "Our men in Bawangshan are not afraid of death! Well, we all have the kind ! Brothers, put a grenade in your hand and let's go!"

Outside the north gate, the devils from the two squadrons who had sent aid to the west gate met unexpectedly with the reconnaissance battalion of the First Xue Division.Zhou Tai took the lead and ran the happiest. He was the first to spot the running devil brigade, and his voice changed with excitement: "Demon, the devil has rushed out!"

Ge Zengfu followed closely behind him with a group of people.Zhou Tai made a great contribution today and killed a devil general, which made other brothers in the reconnaissance battalion envious.Under Guo Da's order, everyone left Wu Kezhi's tank unit to scout the enemy's situation first. Everyone felt that this was an opportunity to make meritorious deeds, and they drove their motorcycles towards LY as if they were having fun, and they more or less had such thoughts in their hearts. : It would be great if I could also catch a high-ranking devil.When there were still two miles away from LY, everyone abandoned their cars and ran wildly. Now they are sweating profusely and panting.

In the sky above the west gate of LY, flares rose one after another, illuminating it like daylight, and as far as the corner of the eye could see, there was nowhere to hide for the devils who had just emerged.

Everyone was very excited, and an anxious soldier asked: "Ying Zuo, let's fight! There are only a few hundred devils!"

"Wait a minute! Let's see what they want to do!" Ge Zengfu suppressed his impulse and said calmly.

Finally, all the devils came out, and they ran towards the north gate surrounded by them.

Cui Yongqiang slapped his thigh and shouted: "They want to outflank the mountain division's rear, camp, let's fight!"

"Fight! But don't be in a hurry, let's follow for a while. Old Cui, you take the second company to guard here. If there are devils at the north gate, you must stop me. Wang Feng, report the situation to the division seat quickly, and let the large troops hurry up." come over."

When Guo Da received the information, the North Gate was already fighting.

With intentional calculations and unintentional calculations, and taking up the light of weapons, the reconnaissance battalion knocked down more than a hundred devils in one round of salvo.The rest of the devils couldn't figure out the size of the enemy army. Seeing that the situation was not good, they immediately retreated.Unexpectedly, they just ran into the ambush circle of the second company. Well, the reconnaissance battalion surrounded them, and the remaining devils were surrounded by a few houses more than 300 meters away from the north gate, and they could no longer get out.

Ge Zengfu was calm-headed, blocked these devils and did not launch a strong attack, but waited for the large troops to arrive, and directly gave the credit to the tank regiment.

Naturally, Wu Kezhi was happy to pick this cheap option, so he only called in a company of tanks for a few rounds of shelling, and then blasted these devils to death and fled.It was useless to escape, Ge Zengfu's reconnaissance battalion was waiting outside, and they just fired a few shots and wiped out the devils.

The battle at the North Gate ended with Xueyi Division winning a complete victory.
