“Baoba…”

There are already some riflemen joining the battle above the city wall, but because the shooting distance is too far, the shooting effect is not very good.

But as long as the National Salvation Army rushed to a hundred meters outside the city, the shooting accuracy of the riflemen beside them will be greatly improved, and it will be time for them to take revenge.

But the National Salvation Army did not let him do it.

The attacking troops suddenly stopped after reaching more than 100 meters outside the city, put the rifle in their hands aside, took out the engineer's shovel from behind and digged the soil in front of them.

First dig a small hole, pile the soil in front of the pit, and then deepen the pit.

After about half a meter deep, he climbed into the pit and squatted inside to continue to expand and deepen the pit, as if he wanted to dig trenches outside the city and build positions.

The squadron leader was confused by a series of abnormal movements of the offensive troops, but his reaction was quick and he shouted anxiously: "The National Salvation Army wants to push the offensive position to more than 100 meters outside the city and shorten their attack distance."

"We must not let their conspiracy succeed! Everyone fired fire and grenade launchers to stop the National Rescue Army from digging trenches outside the city and defeating them!"

When the Japanese army was desperately shooting outside the city, in order to increase the shooting accuracy, they had to poke out of the battlement and aim. If a bullet passed through the battlement at this time, it would definitely penetrate into the Japanese and puppet troops.

Therefore, under the crazy shooting of seven or eight light and heavy machine guns of the National Salvation Army, Japanese soldiers were constantly being killed on the top of the city.

As for the Japanese grenade launchers who were firing grenades outside the city, they had been targeted by the National Rescue Army's grenade launchers. Each time they fired two rounds of grenades, they had to move their positions, otherwise they would definitely be blown into minced meat.

Therefore, their results were very limited. Even if they destroyed a light machine gun, the National Salvation Army would take out a new machine gun to join the battle in a very short time.

During the battle of the raid tower and stronghold last night, although the Xiyang Guard Brigade did not seize any heavy weapons, more than ten light and heavy machine guns were seized, so the offensive troops prepared a sufficient number of light and heavy machine guns for the Japanese to explode.

"Captain, something seems wrong!" A second lieutenant suddenly touched the squadron leader and reminded him.

The squadron leader did not notice anything unusual, and thought his subordinates were too careful, so he subconsciously asked: "What's wrong?"

"The purpose of the National Salvation Army is very clear. If we cannot repel them as soon as possible, and when they build off the offensive position outside the city, their assault distance will be reduced from more than 300 meters to more than 100 meters. It will be difficult to block them!"

The second lieutenant insisted on his opinion and replied with a tough bullet: "Sir, there is really something wrong!"

"I just checked it out. In less than half an hour after the battle began, we had nearly a hundred casualties. However, the National Salvation Army was very small. They were all lying on more than 100 meters to dig trenches. It was difficult for us to hit them, but they could easily kill us with light and heavy machine guns and mortars!"

"If we continue to fight like this, it won't take long for the troops on the city to be completely wiped out!"

The squadron leader’s first reaction was that he did not believe it. After all, he was guarding the city and his terrain advantage was in the hands of the Imperial Army.

But he still subconsciously glanced around him, and then a stunned expression appeared on his face.

"Boom..." A shell was hitting thirty or forty meters in front of him and exploded. In the splashing flames, five subordinates hiding around fell to the ground.

Under the reflection of the fire, he also saw clearly the surrounding situation.

I don’t know if I don’t look at it, I’m shocked when I see it.

Before they knew it, a row of soldiers had fallen behind the battlements, some were motionless, and some were lying on the ground screaming.

It swept over quickly, and the number was definitely more than one hundred people.

"How could this happen!" the squadron leader shouted subconsciously.

"Boom..." A grenade hit the city more than ten meters away and exploded. Because his subordinates were half squatting behind the battlement, his entire upper body was exposed to artillery fire. This time, three more subordinates were killed.

Outside the city, although fireballs kept rising into the air among the attacking troops, because the National Salvation Army was either lying on the ground or hiding in the trenches, the fragments produced by the Grenade explosion were all flying into the sky, and it was difficult to hurt them. Unless a grenade directly hit the trenches and beside the National Salvation Army, it was difficult to hurt them.

After glanced over, they found that their casualties were less than half of them.

Seeing this, the squadron leader suddenly reacted: "No, the National Salvation Army is not really attacking us. They are shortening the attack distance and consuming our troops by the way!"

"We can't stand it with them like this anymore, otherwise our little force will definitely be exhausted by them."

After saying that, he stared at the National Rescue Army outside the city and began to give orders a few seconds later: "The National Rescue Army has dug a lot of individual bunkers outside the city. Although it has not been fully formed, there is no problem with Tibetans. It is definitely impossible to force them back with light and heavy machine guns and grenade launchers alone, unless we have equipped them with heavy weapons!"

"Since we can't force them away, we can only settle for the second best, save the troops first and then talk about other things!"

"The third team, the second and third platoons of the Imperial Army, and the grenade launcher troops stayed behind, and continued to attack the National Rescue Army outside the city, and all other troops retreated to the back!"

"By the way, I will connect the command center to me. I will report this situation to the captain and ask the command center for reinforcements. Otherwise, with the remaining few troops, we will definitely not be able to stop the real attack of the National Salvation Army."

At the command of the Japanese garrison, listening to the increasing sound of gunfire outside the city, the worry on Major Sakuragi's face did not disappear.

So far, he has not yet judged the main attack direction of the National Salvation Army.

If their main attack direction is any other direction except the north, the troops defending that direction will definitely be in crisis.

The later he figured out the main attack direction of the National Salvation Army, the more dangerous the city of Heshun County would be.

"Sir, there is news from the east gate!" The telephone soldier hurried over to report.

"Is the East Gate the main attack direction of the National Salvation Army?" Major Sakuragi asked subconsciously. He was too anxious and did not want to let go of any clue to judge the main attack direction of the National Salvation Army.

The phone ran far away and shook his head quickly: "I haven't confirmed yet!"

"The East Gate reported that the National Salvation Army that attacked them did not really attack the county town, but instead consumed the garrison at the city wall by shortening the attack distance."

"In order to reduce the losses, they have transferred the main force of the garrison from the city, but still lost more than 100 people. Please send troops to reinforce them immediately."

"Otherwise, after the National Salvation Army launched a strong attack, they would definitely not last long."

"There is one more thing. They do not have heavy weapons, so it is difficult to stop the National Rescue Army from building an offensive position outside the city."
