The streets that can be used for attack are so wide. The Eighth Route Army equipped with machine guns and mortars. When they attack rashly, they couldn't rush through no matter how many people they had in their hands. The squadron leader lying on the ground knew very well.

Therefore, as soon as the cannon brought by Yang Xiong was fired, the squadron leader gave up the idea of ​​attacking forcefully.

After the artillery brigade uses artillery handles to bomb the Eighth Route Army in front of him, it will be almost blown up before attacking. This will not only cause small casualties, but also have a very fast attack!

Yang Xiong didn't know that the Japanese had such an idea. He just received a report from the battalion commander Zhang Yunshan that the warehouse in the west of the Japanese and puppet army stored a large amount of supplies and ammunition, and there were hundreds or thousands of various shells alone. In order to block the Japanese, the battalion commander specially sent him one hundred shells.

Since there was enough ammunition, Yang Xiong had no idea of ​​fighting with the Japanese.

"Tell the artillery that after three rapid fires, change the artillery position and blow up wherever there are many Japanese soldiers. Don't stop. Today we have some artillery shell consumption!"

Finally, the artillery brigade behind fired the artillery. Six mountain artillery shells smashed into the yard where the artillery had just been staying. The artillery in Yang Xiong's hand had been transferred to the yard next to continue firing artillery shells at the Japanese counterattack troops.

The Japanese squadron leader soon found clues, frowned and cursed loudly: "Bageya Road, the Eighth Route Army is too cunning. Their artillery positions are transferred every minute. We are mountain cannons, and we can't lock them!"

After that, he ordered: "Contact the artillery brigade immediately, don't care about the Eighth Route Army mortars, concentrate artillery fire to blew their infantry. Without infantry, relying solely on three mortars will definitely not stop us!"

"Boom..." A series of violent explosions quickly rang around Yang Xiong.

Many soldiers lying on the wall of the yard did not even scream and were blown to the ground.

"The Japanese are taking revenge on us and killing us with shells. We must fight back, otherwise we will definitely not be able to withstand the Japanese bombing!" Yang Xiong said with a frown.

"The grenade launcher continues to attack the Japanese, and the mortars find ways to attack the Japanese artillery positions and attract Japanese artillery fire!"

"Others are ready for battle, and the Japanese will definitely take the opportunity to attack and attack us!"

"Kill and give it to me!" Before the order was issued, dozens of Japanese soldiers rushed over with bayonet rifles.

This time the Japanese learned to be smart. Several crooked hands did not follow them. Like Yang Xiong, they put the crooked hands on the courtyard wall and fired against the machine gun in Yang Xiong's hand to attract firepower and cover the infantry's attack!

"Second shooter quickly and suppress the Japanese offensive firepower!" Yang Xiong's eyes turned red and he shouted loudly when he saw that the troops were killed by several machine gunners.

"Rifleman, don't lie down, raise your head and fight back, and use the ferry gun to block the Japanese attack!"

"If you can't stop the gun, use grenades. Didn't the battalion commander send a lot of grenades? Use grenades to blow them!"

"Boom boom boom..." As soon as he finished speaking, a few explosions rang in his ears, and a crooked handkerchief was silenced not far away.

The machine gun and the machine gunner were blown up together and smashed on the ground in the yard. There was no doubt that the grenade launcher equipped by the Japanese fired at this time.

Yang Xiong also tried his best, rushed up and lifted the machine gun and climbed onto the yard wall.

Taking advantage of the sudden interruption of the bullets flying over his head, he set up a crooked handgun and swept a shuttle of bullets into the middle of the Japanese attacking troops.

The narrow streets forced the Japanese attacking troops to crowd together.

Five or six bullets flew over and killed three Japanese soldiers.

But at this moment, Yang Xiong was targeted by a Japanese machine gunner dozens of meters away, and followed by a shuttle of bullets flying over.

Fortunately, Yang Xiong reacted quickly. After a few bullets were shot out, he hid behind the courtyard wall with a crooked handle, avoiding the fatal injury from dozens of meters away.

However, the two riflemen next to him were not so lucky. They were shot in the head and fell to the ground. They could not die anymore!

"The Japanese are too strong. Tell all machine gunners that at most two short shots must be transferred to the position!" Yang Xiong carried the crooked handle and ordered while transferring the position.

After changing three machine gun positions in a row, dozens of Japanese devils fell on the attacking road.

Although Yang Xiong's more than 70 soldiers were scattered in several yards around, he saw that the dozen or so soldiers in his yard had lost nearly half of them. Yang Xiong didn't need to think about it, and the soldiers in other yards were not much better.

Fortunately, the baggage company had already entered the city at this time and was rushing to transport the materials they had just seized together with the captured puppet troops.

Otherwise, with the remaining troops in a row, the entire army would be destroyed if the Japanese attack was blocked by the sky.

"The mortars continue to fight against the Japanese infantry and bombard them in places with a large number of Japanese people. Or is the infantry threatening us! The others continue to disperse and guard against the Japanese mountain cannon bombardment!" Yang Xiong ordered with a gloomy face.

The Japanese squadron leader was also in great pain at this time. A squadron and a patrol team encountered on the road, a total of more than 200 imperial troops were killed and injured by the Eighth Route Army's cannons before it even started the attack.

In the attack just now, a small team was destroyed and all fell on the attack.

Although the Eighth Route Army suffered a considerable loss, the soldiers under them were reduced by half in a blink of an eye, which was still very heartbroken for the squadron leader.

In this case, the squadron leader hesitated whether to continue to implement the orders of the brigade command and continue to counterattack the Eighth Route Army entering the west of the city.

"You can't continue to rush. The Eighth Route Army has too strong firepower, and no team will definitely not be able to rush through. But if you lose another team, the remaining troops will not be able to form attack power and counterattack the Eighth Route Army entering the west of the city!" The squadron leader frowned and analyzed.

"Then what should we do!" asked the deputy captain next to him with a serious face.

"Stay on the spot, block the Eighth Route Army's offensive, and prevent them from continuing to expand the occupied area. Then wait for reinforcements to surround the Eighth Route Army entering the city to eat them bit by bit." The squadron leader immediately said his decision.

They saw the process of the destruction of an infantry squad in just a few minutes. If they continued to attack, they might follow in the footsteps.

So, when the squadron leader decided to stop the attack, several officers immediately agreed.

"I agree!"

"Then execute the orders, build fortifications on the spot, and organize defense!" The squadron leader did not hesitate and directly ordered.
Chapter completed!
