Predator Reborn

Chapter 276: Attacking Baoding (3)

At this time, on the city wall that was damaged by artillery fire and had collapsed in many places, Captain Matsui was commanding the remaining less than 1,000 troops of the entire regiment back and forth, engaging in an arduous battle.

You know, this was already the third attack by Matsui's command to repulse the Eighth Route Army.

Seeing the Eighth Route Army outside the city carrying the bodies of the wounded and fallen soldiers, slowly exiting the range of their own machine gun fire under the cover of heavy machine guns. Colonel Matsui breathed a sigh of relief and ordered the soldiers around him to stop this waste of bullets.

He shot, then sat down on the ground and leaned against the battlements.

"Baga Road, where is our artillery regiment? Why don't you open fire to suppress the Eighth Route Army's artillery fire? So many brave imperial soldiers were all killed under the enemy's artillery fire. Baga... When the war is over, I must be there.

The military court sued the Artillery Regiment...Chief of Staff, immediately check the losses of each unit, pay attention to the shelling of the Eighth Route Army, quickly..." Captain Matsui ordered to the Chief of Staff beside him.

"Uuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu" Before Captain Matsui could finish his words, the whistling sound of artillery shells reached his ears, fulfilling his order just now.

"Baga... Hurry and take cover... The Eighth Route Army's artillery bombardment has begun... Hurry..." Hearing the familiar whistle of artillery shells, Matsui stood up quickly and shouted loudly. However, the little Japs passed by

After the previous few blocking battles, it was obvious that he was very experienced in avoiding artillery bombardments. After hearing the whistling sound of the artillery shells, he immediately lay down on the ground, or used the corpses of the dead soldiers next to him to put on his body... In short, at this time

Our artillery fire has little lethality to these Japanese troops.

However, Liu Hua, as the commander-in-chief of the battle, did not think about using these shells to kill the Japanese troops. He just wanted to destroy their morale and at the same time destroy the heavy weapons on the city wall. Therefore, the entire artillery attack only lasted less than five minutes.

It's over when the time comes.

"Da da da..." Just as the five-minute artillery attack ended, the heavy machine gun serving as cover rang out. Another battalion of soldiers held guns, bent over, and slowly climbed out of the trench.

, rushed towards the city wall. However, just as everyone was approaching the light machine gun range of the city wall, under the order of a commander, all the soldiers quickly dispersed and lay down together. Using the engineer shovels they carried with them, they dug

He came out of a mound that was just big enough to hide his body, and started shooting at the Japanese soldiers on the city wall.

"Baga, hurry up, machine gun, shoot immediately, suppress the firepower of the Eighth Route Army, hurry up..." Seeing a battalion of Eighth Route Army troops lying on the ground, Captain Matsui shouted loudly to the imperial soldiers beside him. But

, he didn’t know that in the five-minute shelling, several machine guns on the city wall had been blown up again. Now, there were only less than 10 heavy machine guns on the entire city wall. What’s more important was that there were no heavy machine guns.

Up to ten heavy machine guns have to be scattered on a city wall several hundred meters long. How dense can such a density of heavy machine guns be to suppress the firepower?

"Bagh Ya Road, rifleman, hurry up, shoot right away, shoot quickly..." Seeing a battalion of Eighth Route Army troops outside the city slowly crawling towards the city wall under the cover of intensive firepower, the captain of the regiment, Matsui, was anxious.

commanded. So, in the absence of heavy firepower such as heavy machine guns, the riflemen had to stick out their heads and began to use the rifles in their hands to suppress and kill with limited firepower.

Of course, it was time for a battalion of the Eighth Route Army outside the city to show off its power. You must know that the battalion lying on the ground was not an ordinary battalion, but two infantry companies plus all the sharpshooters of the three regiments and dozens of

A mixed battalion of mortars.

I saw the little devils showing their heads one after another. Nearly half the company of sharpshooters lying on the ground began to show off their power. Suddenly, under the precise strikes of dozens of sharpshooters outside the city, the casualties of the Japanese troops on the city wall began to increase sharply. As long as

If someone shows his head, then there must be a bullet waiting for him. In less than five minutes of free shooting, at least 200 little Japs fell to the muzzles of these sharpshooters.

Of course, the little devils on the city wall did not fight back. Facing the large number of sharpshooters outside the city, they also organized a large number of sharpshooters to start shooting. However, under the desperate cover of the two infantry companies, they did not pose much threat to the sharpshooters.

The two infantry companies covering the attack suffered more than half of the damage.

"Everything..." While the sharpshooters were shooting at the Japanese army, the dozens of artillerymen at the back of the charge team were not idle either. They used the engineer shovels they carried with them to quickly dig out in front of them.

He built a single-man bunker half a meter deep and placed the mortars he carried in it... and started bombing each firepower point on the city wall...

"Boom, boom, boom..." Then, six mortar shells accurately landed on the city wall, causing huge damage to the Japanese army again.

"Ah... Baga..." Then bursts of screams came from the city wall. Seeing that the first shell of their mortar had achieved results, the soldiers were extremely happy and began to get more excited.

Aim accurately and launch.

"Baga...the artillery fire from there, isn't the Eighth Route Army afraid of hitting its own people...Baga..." Hearing the explosion of artillery shells and the wailing of soldiers behind him, Colonel Matsui, the commander of the regiment, shouted loudly

roared.

"Your Excellency, the commander of the regiment, the artillery position of the Eighth Route Army is under our city wall... right in their charge formation..." the chief of staff replied quickly.

"Baga...Then why are you still standing there? Immediately organize machine gunners and sharpshooters to shoot and destroy these Eighth Route Army artillery units. Quickly..." Seeing the soldiers behind him being drowned by artillery fire one by one, the captain of the regiment, Colonel Matsui, was angry.

said.

However, he didn't know that all the Eighth Route Army's mortars were installed in bunkers. How could the kid hit them with the light and heavy machine guns and sharpshooters? Although the kid specially mobilized two heavy machine guns to straf the artillery positions, the artillerymen

Still firing cannonballs at the city wall one after another...

In this way, under the double blow of the soldiers' rifle sniping and artillery sniping, the little devils on the city wall felt fear for the first time. Until the end, no one showed their heads anymore. They could only stick out their rifles and carry out blind operations.

of shooting.

"Commander, it's almost over. The little Japs on the city wall have been suppressed by the soldiers. Let's launch the final attack..." Li Qing, the chief of staff next to him, reminded.

"Okay, order the first demolition team to set off...all the heavy machine guns will fire for cover..." Liu Hua ordered to the two regiment leaders behind him.

"Yes, Commander, the first demolition team..." As the voice of the regiment leader Shen Qinghua rang out, a dozen soldiers carrying explosive bags quickly jumped up from the position and headed towards the detonation point.

Rushed over.

Of course, although more than half of the Japs on the city wall were lost, the remaining 500 or so people were not vegetarians. As the demolition team got closer and closer to the city wall, the Japs on the wall discovered that these were several different Eighth Route Army soldiers.

.

"Baga, your Excellency, captain. The Eighth Route Army wants to blast the city wall, and they have already rushed over..." After discovering the situation, a squad leader hurriedly ran to Colonel Matsui and reported.

"Nani...Demoman, Bagya Road, order the soldiers to throw grenades at the city immediately, quickly..." Colonel Matsui ordered loudly. At the same time, he pulled a grenade from the uniform of a fallen soldier next to him.

For the grenade, unplug the safety, hit it hard on the city wall, and throw it down the city in a parabola shape.

"Woooooo..." In an instant, under the leadership of the captain, hundreds of grenades flew towards the city with a whistling sound...

"Boom, boom, boom..." A burst of dense explosions rang out from under the city wall, and at that moment, more than a dozen blasters were drowned in the explosion of the little devil's grenade.

"Damn it, order the rest of the demolition team to join me and attack from multiple directions, quickly..." Seeing that more than a dozen soldiers died in vain under the gunfire of the Japs, Liu Hua pinched his own

Fist, said fiercely.

"Yes, Commander..." Immediately, the remaining demolition teams rushed out of the bunker and divided into four groups, rushing towards the Japanese wall. Finally, under the cover of the three demolition teams, they finally

A demolition team approached the city wall. Under the cover of the soldiers' bodies, they quickly piled explosive packages in the corner and lit the fuse....

"Boom..." Finally, a violent explosion sounded... Under the impact of more than 500 kilograms of strong explosives, the city wall that was not very strong suddenly collapsed. The city wall that was still tall just now suddenly collapsed.

A huge gap appeared, and the door to attack was officially opened to the soldiers.

"Tick-tock-tock...tick-tock...charge..." As the city wall was blown open, a loud charge bugle sounded immediately on the battlefield. Countless soldiers held out their bayonets in their hands.

The rifle rushed out of the bunker and rushed towards the gap. At the same time, dozens of light and heavy machine guns on the position immediately turned their muzzles at almost the same time and fired an airtight rain of bullets into the gap.

"Baga... Hurry, reinforce the gap immediately, and be sure to block the breach. Hurry, kill... warriors, the time has come to sacrifice your life for the empire and the emperor, kill..." When I saw the city wall, I suddenly

A ten-meter-wide gap was opened by the Eighth Route Army. As the highest commander on the city wall, Colonel Matsui was stunned. He quickly ordered the soldiers around him to reinforce the gap and make sure to block the Eighth Route Army's siege troops.

"Ta da da... ah ah..." However, before those little Japs with bayonets could approach the gap, they were greeted by an airtight rain of bullets from the Eighth Route Army. The Japs in front were knocked down, and those behind were

Then, facing these desperate little Japs, the soldiers were certainly not polite. In less than a minute, at least nearly a hundred Japs fell on both sides of the gap.

However, although they suffered huge casualties, none of the soldiers could approach the gap.

"Comrades, charge..." Finally, the charging Eighth Route Army rushed to the gap. Especially the machine gunners charging at the front, no one was afraid of the little Japs who wanted to rush towards them, and they fired at the Japanese army one after another.

Dense bullets. The machine gunner in the front fell, and the rifleman in the back was replaced with a rifle. In short, the machine gun firepower of the Eighth Route Army's charge troops never stopped.

Finally, after the machine gunners in front paid the price of almost annihilating the entire army, a company of commandos finally occupied the gap in the city wall. Soon, the two companies that arrived climbed up the city wall and moved along the wall to both ends.

The attack advances. As for the remaining troops, there is only one task, which is to rush into the county through the gap as much as possible...

Finally, after a company that stood firm at the breach paid more than half of its casualties, more than one regiment of troops broke into the county. At the same time, the two companies attacking on both sides of the breach also cleared the city wall in the shortest possible time.

The remaining enemy on the city wall. Matsui, the top commander of the Japanese army, led his remaining more than 200 people and retreated down the city wall in embarrassment, trying to rely on the barricades to continue to prevent our army's attack, wait for the arrival of his reinforcements, and then launch a counterattack.

But he didn't know that at this time, more than a hundred special forces members of the special operations brigade were slowly surrounding the Japanese headquarters under the leadership of Liu Xiaogang, waiting for the opportunity to launch an attack on the Japanese headquarters and carry out his beheading mission.

"Baga... Where did the explosion come from... Quick, contact Colonel Matsui immediately, quick..." Major General Kitamura Katsuzo, who suddenly heard a huge explosion near the city gate, was frightened.

He jumped and asked the staff around him.

"Your Excellency, Commander, I think we should immediately mobilize the reserves and order the baggage regiment to reinforce Colonel Matsui as quickly as possible..." The chief of staff, who also heard the explosion, suddenly felt an ominous premonition in his heart.

So he immediately suggested it to Kitamura Katsuzo, who was also anxious next to him.

"Baga... Hurry, order the baggage regiment to reinforce Colonel Matsui immediately..." After hearing the words of the chief of staff, the commander immediately woke up and roared loudly.

"Hi..." Immediately, a combat staff officer took the order and left the headquarters. Just as the combat staff officer passed the order to the baggage regiment, the captain of the baggage regiment brought reinforcements with his soldiers.

At the city gate, the special operations brigade began to take action.

"Snipers, immediately occupy favorable terrain, snipe the enemy's heavy firepower. Mortarers, build artillery positions on the spot, and clear the enemy's firepower points one by one after the battle begins. Commandos, check weapons and ammunition, prepare for battle, and assault

The little devil's headquarters." Liu Xiaogang ordered to the squadron leaders and squadron leaders surrounding him.

"It's...Captain..."

"Okay, two minutes to prepare, we will launch the attack immediately in two minutes..." Two minutes of preparation time is enough for these special forces members. Soon, the team leaders and squadron leaders called Liu Xiaogang to prepare.

Proper gesture.

"Commandos prepare...to attack..." Seeing that the two minutes had expired, Liu Xiaogang loudly ordered a team of commandos behind him. Immediately, more than a dozen special forces armed with light machine guns rushed out of the hiding place.

In the compound, there was a burst of fire at the Japanese headquarters fifty meters away. The dense rain of bullets instantly killed several sentries at the door and several machine gunners in the machine gun positions.

"Da da da..." More than a dozen people charged and opened fire, and soon rushed to the door of the headquarters. However, just when two special forces members were about to rush into the compound, an accident happened, and there was a dense

The bullets were swept out from the compound. The two special forces members were caught off guard and were immediately knocked to the ground.

"Boom, boom, boom..." Just when the two special forces members were attacked, a dozen soldiers who were following them immediately took out the grenades they carried and threw them into the compound. As the grenades exploded, another

It was two special operations team members who rushed towards the door of the compound. However, what everyone didn't expect was that the two team members were still hit by the dense rain of bullets.

"Damn it, order the commandos to stay on the spot...The artillery will immediately launch indiscriminate shelling on the front yard of the little devils. Come on...I don't believe how tough these little devils are." Seeing that he hadn't rushed yet.

Entering the compound of the Japanese Army Headquarters, he had lost four team members, and the captain Liu Xiaogang ordered with distress.

"Everything..." Immediately, the sound of six mortars being fired sounded behind him. In an instant, bursts of explosions and the wailing of soldiers came from the front yard of the Little Devils Headquarters. Three

The round of shelling ended quickly. Under the cover of gunpowder smoke, the remaining eight special forces members of the first commando team immediately jumped up and fired a dense rain of bullets into the smoke-filled compound. Then quickly

He rushed into the courtyard.

Finally, eight special operations team members rushed into the front yard of the Japanese headquarters. However, just when they wanted to continue to launch a new attack, they once again encountered a denser fire net. In the end, under the dense crowd of little devils,

Under the suppression of the firepower network, it stopped in the front yard of the headquarters.

It turned out that just a few minutes after the special operations brigade attacked the front yard of the headquarters, Major General Kitamura had ordered all the personnel of the headquarters to pick up weapons. Sandbags were piled up at the entrance of the backyard where the headquarters was located, and two strong fortresses were built.

machine gun position. Including the guard squadron of the brigade headquarters, the number of Japs gathered in the backyard of the headquarters now reached an astonishing number of more than 300, and they were all equipped with sophisticated weapons.

However, it would take a long time for the ordinary Eighth Route Army to fight more than 300 little devils. However, he did not know that he was facing a special brigade of the Independent Division, and it was equipped with 8 mortars.

Special Forces Group. Just as the Japanese Guard Squadron was reinforcing its position under the personal command of the brigade commander, Major General Katsuzo Kitamura, all six mortars carried by the Special Forces Group had been moved to the front yard of the headquarters.

"Burn all the artillery shells you brought... I, the little devils, are trapped in turtle shells alive. After all the shells are fired, all the commandos charge together to completely destroy the little devils' headquarters." Liu Xiaogang watched.

With six mortars and boxes of shells behind him, he ordered confidently.
