Heroes of the War of Resistance

The city wall itself is not too big, and every time a shell explodes, it will cause a large number of casualties.If the artillery threat outside the city is not resolved, the defenders on the city wall may pay a heavy price and be powerless to stop the approaching enemies outside the city.

At the moment, the Japanese garrison officer in the city was awakened by the sound of shelling, and soon realized that there were anti-Japanese troops sneaking into Mengcheng at night.This obviously unreasonable situation also made the garrison officer feel that this night may be very difficult!

Chapter Directory Chapter [-] Scared into a cold sweat!

Although prepared to guard against the attack, the Japanese commander stationed in Mengcheng was still very surprised when he heard the sudden sound of guns and artillery from outside the city.As early as a few hours ago, he had just received the news that Vortex City had been captured.

Even though Mengcheng is not too far from Wocheng, under normal circumstances, shouldn't the anti-Japanese troops who have just recovered Wocheng take a rest?In this case, even if there is a possibility of Mengcheng being attacked, it should not happen until the next day.

No one expected that when everyone was sleeping peacefully in the middle of the night, there would be troops outside the city launching a strong attack on Mengcheng.Even judging from the density of guns, the strength of the troops attacking Mengcheng at this moment is not weak.

The Mengcheng garrison officer, who was awakened by the sound of gunfire, looked at the subordinates who came quickly to ask for instructions, and said seriously: "How is the current situation? Damn, these guys are really desperate. They came here just after the battle in Wocheng Attacking Montreal?"

Facing the curse of the Mengcheng garrison officer, an officer soon said: "Your Excellency, garrison officer, is it the main force of China who attacked our troops by surprise? Is this unlikely? Wocheng is not far from us. Woolen cloth!"

If the anti-Japanese troops had a large number of vehicles like the Japanese army, it might be possible to launch this kind of blitzkrieg-like raid tactics.The problem is that during the day, the Japanese army has sent reconnaissance planes to conduct reconnaissance on Wocheng and the surrounding areas of Mengcheng.

Even if the troops attacking Wocheng marched to Mengcheng in a hurry after nightfall, it was impossible to launch an attack as soon as they arrived.Long-distance marches consume a lot of physical and mental energy for the troops, and a bad one will not be worth the loss.

From the standpoint of an officer, many of the little devil's officers suspected that the anti-Japanese troops attacking Mengcheng at this moment should not be the anti-Japanese troops attacking Wocheng during the day.In fact, the speculation of these officers was quickly confirmed.

After receiving a call from the commander of the city wall defenders, the garrison officer of Mengcheng said with a surprised face: "What? The main force of the Eighth Route? Eight Geya Road, how is this possible? When did the main force of the Eighth Route come to our side? ?”

Many commanders of the Japanese army have heard about the Eighth Route Army operating in North China.However, the Eighth Route Army's activities are currently limited to the area of ​​Luxi, and it has never been heard that the Eighth Route Army is active around Mengcheng.

According to the information provided by the special high class, guerrillas of the New Fourth Army were found around Wocheng earlier, but they had never heard of the main force of the Eighth Route Army.Even when they heard the news, most of the Japanese commanders stationed in Mengcheng found it unbelievable.

"Your Excellency, the garrison officer, the defenders should be right! Judging from the firepower and strength, the Eighth Route Army attacking us at this moment has at least one regiment-level combat unit. On both sides of the main city, the Eighth Route Army is approaching!"

"Baga! Report the situation immediately, and all the troops in the city will try their best to block the Eight Routes. The Eight Routes are too arrogant to attack the county where we are stationed with a regiment of troops. Hold on until dawn, and then we may be able to launch a counterattack!"

"Hi! The eight-way artillery fire is relatively fierce. Do we need to provide artillery support?"

"Hey! Order the artillery squadron to launch a counterattack immediately!"

The Japanese army, who knew something about the strength of the Eighth Route Army, did not pay attention to the artillery of the Eighth Route Army.If the siege army was replaced by the national army, perhaps the Japanese army would still worry that the siege army still had artillery with a longer range.

The Eighth Route Army is notoriously poor, and the mortars that are being bombarded now are presumably the property of the main force of the Eighth Route Army.If it is destroyed, the rest of the defensive battle will be easier to fight.

I have to say that if you always look at people with old eyes, you will suffer a loss sooner or later.Relying on little knowledge of the Eighth Route Army, these Japanese troops could easily use artillery squadrons to participate in city defense battles.Seeing the shells fired in the city, the artillerymen outside the city laughed.

Seeing the Japanese firing test shells, the artillery team leader immediately said: "Mortar team, move to the reserve position immediately and wait for orders. Mountain artillery team, prepare to measure the position of the artillery position of the little devil. Once there is a result, immediately counterattack!"

"Yes, Captain!"

The [-]st Battalion of the Independent Regiment of the Eighth Route Army, which was in charge of the feint attack, also quickly received an order from the regiment commander Sun Weimin, and has advanced to the [-]st Company less than [-] meters away from the city wall, ready to guard against Japanese artillery bombardment at any time.

The rest of the troops on standby should also be concealed as much as possible, and not get too close to the previous artillery unit.When the artillery unit destroys the artillery positions of the little devils in the city, the battalions and companies of the independent regiments that attacked the city can really breathe a sigh of relief.

As the Japanese artillery squadron launched a counterattack, the defenders at the top of the city, who had been suppressed by the artillery fire of the Eighth Route Army, also breathed a sigh of relief.Seeing the apparently stopped shelling, many Japanese soldiers said excitedly, "Hey! The damned shelling has finally stopped!"

Without the threat of artillery shells outside the city, the pressure on the Japanese and puppet troops in charge of defending the city was also reduced.Taking advantage of this opportunity, the Japanese and puppet troops at the head of the city also began to strengthen the fortifications, and at the same time sent all the wounded and dead soldiers to the rear for resettlement.

The soldiers of the Special Second Company, who were already on standby on the street, saw these Japanese and puppet troops escorting the wounded, and quickly asked: "Squadron leader, do you want to do it? I think this may be an opportunity? Those who can successfully sneak into the Japanese and puppet troops Barracks!"

"You mean, pretending to be the troops escorting the wounded?"

"That's right! Squadron leader, look, there are not many Japanese and puppet troops escorting the wounded. Let the patrol team cooperate with the crossbow team later, and they should be able to kill these people who have withdrawn from the city wall without moving their guns." Japanese puppet army, what do you think?"

Listening to his subordinates' suggestions, Qin Tianyou, who was waiting for an order, felt that this was indeed a good opportunity.The most important thing is that even if there are some movements at that time.Under the cover of the sound of guns and artillery in the city, neither the city head nor the Japanese and puppet troops in the city should be aware of it.

Now that a decision has been made, the crossbowmen of the Special Second Company quickly sneaked to both sides of the street.The patrol team that had been replaced earlier, under Qin Tianyou's signal, quietly waited for the opportunity to attack, preparing to meet the Japanese and puppet troops escorting the wounded.

At least at this moment, for the Japanese and puppet troops stationed in Mengcheng, they would never have imagined that a troop had been mixed into the city at this moment.The most deadly thing is that this force is lurking in the dark, ready to deal a fatal blow at any time.

"Remember it all! After the bow and crossbow team makes a move, rush over immediately and use the dagger to kill the little devil who is not dead!"

"understand!"

When the Japanese and puppet troops escorting the wounded were about to enter the area where the crossbow team was ambushing, more than a dozen combat members posing as patrols quickly came out of their hiding places.The two teams seemed to be facing each other, but they couldn't see clearly because of the light.

"who?"

The combat team members walking in the front quickly shouted these words to the Japanese and puppet troops escorting the wounded.The little devil who was in charge of the escort, heard the inquiry from the front, and quickly said: "We are the guards of the city gate, and we will escort the wounded back to the camp for treatment!"

Just when the escort team stopped to answer, the captain of the crossbow lurking in the dark said softly: "Do it!"

These stationary targets are undoubtedly easier to aim at at this moment than to shoot at moving targets.As a result, it was obvious that a wave of arrows and crossbow arrows shot out, and the sound of Japanese and puppet soldiers falling to the ground and screaming was soon heard in the street.

At the same time, combat members disguised as patrols rushed out quickly.Seeing those little devils who were not dead in the escort team, they swung their knives and killed them without saying a word.On the contrary, it was the puppet army, but the combatants left a few alive.

I was shocked by the sudden attack, but now I saw the little devils wearing patrols, wantonly obliterating the little devils who defended the city with them.Such a weird situation really frightened the puppet army into a loss of speech.

Fortunately, these puppet soldiers soon heard that the little devil with the knife on their necks said very coldly: "Do you want to die or live?"

Such authentic official words undoubtedly clearly told these puppet soldiers that the patrol members in front of them in the uniforms of little devils should be pretended by the enemy.Thinking of this, these puppet soldiers were frightened into a cold sweat again.

In addition to obediently confessing, he was very cooperative in the face of the patrol team's inquiries.At this time, the mountain artillery squad, which had already calculated the Japanese artillery position, launched an artillery counterattack after the order of the squad leader.

Seeing the artillery shells flying over the city wall and falling into the city, the Japanese and puppet soldiers who were still standing on the wall were a little stunned and said: "Baga! No! This is a mountain cannon! Damn it, these Chinese soldiers actually have mountain cannons in their hands!"

From the sound or the flying distance of the shell, many little devil officers guessed that it should be the shell fired by the mountain cannon.Thinking of the mountain artillery in the hands of the Eighth Route Army outside the city, the Japanese and puppet troops on the city wall began to be unable to calm down again.

Just like them, there was also the defender of Mengcheng who heard the strong explosion.Looking at the artillery positions that fell into the flames of the explosion, the garrison officer couldn't help cursing: "Baga! Damn it, we were fooled!"

From the fact that the Eighth Route Army used mortars to attack the city, but hid the more powerful mountain artillery, the Japanese army guessed that the Eighth Route Army did this to lure the Japanese artillery in the city to take action.Without artillery, it would be extremely difficult for the Japanese army to defend Mengcheng.

At the same time, after receiving the news from Qin Tianyou, Hu Biao thought for a while and said, "Deploy a platoon to control the puppet troops who are still staying in the puppet barracks in the name of escorting the wounded. Little devils, don't come over!"

"Yes, Captain!"

It is clear that the Japanese army is not so easy to be fooled. If you really want to enter the barracks, it will be very dangerous to pretend to be a combat member of the Japanese army.On the contrary, the puppet army with weak fighting will, as long as its officers are controlled, the rest of the soldiers will surrender obediently.

Without the puppet army, it is tantamount to losing one hand of the Japanese army in the city.As for the little devils in the barracks at this moment, they have already become caged birds.As long as Hu Biao gave an order, Te Yilian and Hu Biao could clean it up.

After listening to Hu Biao's suggestion, Qin Tianyou also felt that Hu Biao was more considerate than him.If you really want to send someone pretending to be a little devil to enter the little devil's barracks, but Hu Biao can't let go of his hands and feet to attack. Isn't this self-defeating martial arts?

As the little devil's artillery squadron was destroyed, the artillery fire outside the city, which had subsided, roared again.Looking at the flames of countless shells rising into the sky, the defenders at the top of the city knew that another round of nightmares was about to begin!

Chapter Directory Chapter [-] Charge Horn Sounds

With the destruction of the Japanese artillery in Mengcheng, the artillery that had not been used earlier finally showed its ferocity at this moment.The main force of the Eighth Route Army, which had already arrived on the two wings, also began to put pressure on the Japanese and puppet troops at the head of the city under the cover of artillery fire.

Judging from the density and frequency of artillery strikes, the defensive pressure of the main city gate is undoubtedly the greatest.But for the Japanese and puppet troops stationed on the two wings, watching the Eighth Route Army attacking troops running out of the dark, they still did not dare to relax their vigilance, for fear that the Eighth Route Army would break through the city gate.

The defense officer of Mengcheng, who had just experienced a journey from heaven to hell, was extremely surprised and worried when he received a call for help from the city defense force: "Baga! Where did these eight roads come from? of?"

If the garrison officer had the confidence to stick to it until dawn, then now that the Eighth Route Army has mountain artillery, this confidence will soon turn into worry.Compared with the previous mortars, the mountain artillery is undoubtedly more powerful.
