Chapter 411 Taking Down the Town 1
Meanwhile, on Zhang Zhongwei's side, after Bai Luo blasted down half of the city gate with a single shot...
At Yang Wuyong's prompting, Zhang Zhongwei immediately ordered his soldiers to launch an attack.
Bai Luo's shot wiped out most of the Japanese soldiers' defensive forces.
This directly created a large gap in the defensive firepower of the Japanese soldiers.
Zhang Zhongwei's soldiers reached the town entrance with almost no effort.
After wiping out all the Japanese soldiers whose retreat was blocked by fire on the city gate position.
They were a bit dumbfounded.
The fire that had just reduced the Japanese to ashes has now become an obstacle in their path of attack.
For a time, Zhang Zhongwei's men were unable to break into the town.
At this moment, Zhang Zhongwei also arrived at the entrance of the town, looking at the fire still burning fiercely on the ruins of the city wall.
Judging from the current situation, there was no sign of the fire going out anytime soon, which made Zhang Zhongwei, who was eager to storm into the town, feel somewhat helpless.
Meanwhile, in the town...
The Japanese company commander, Kenji Sato, was also startled by the sudden attack.
Seeing the city walls, which were mostly collapsed and burning fiercely, Kenji Sato knew that the town's defenses had fallen.
Kenji Sato's face was extremely pale, and he was constantly thinking of a solution.
But the attack came too suddenly, and he had no time to deploy troops to plug the gap. It seems that he can only fight a battle in the streets.
Just as he was about to order his remaining squadron to prepare for street fighting.
At that moment, the radio operator quickly came to his side.
"Squad leader, Yu County called to say that they are currently unable to send reinforcements."
"Baka yarou! These shameful idiots of the Empire!"
Kenji Sato cursed angrily upon hearing this, but there was nothing he could do.
They were previously under the jurisdiction of Ershi City, but now that Ershi City no longer exists, they had no choice but to seek help from Yu County, which is the closest county to them.
He had clearly been rejected. Without reinforcements, Kenji Sato looked unsettled.
He gritted his teeth and gave the order.
"Ready to transfer..."
"Squad Leader! The enemy...the enemy is being held back by the fire, and they can't get in for the time being."
"Nani?"
Upon hearing that the enemy had not yet breached the defenses, Kenji Sato immediately swallowed the rest of his words.
He pushed aside the Japanese messenger blocking his way and rushed to the roof of the command post, raising his binoculars to look at the ruins of the city gate.
Just as the soldier who came to report earlier had said, the fire at the city gate halted the enemy's advance.
Even through the gaps in the firelight, he could vaguely see the figures of people outside the city.
Upon seeing this, Kenji Sato was overjoyed and shouted to the messenger beside him.
"Order the artillery squad to open fire hard on the area outside the city gate! Five minutes, rapid fire."
"Hi!"
The Japanese messenger immediately obeyed and went downstairs.
Kenji Sato didn't just wait idly in the command post. Instead, he led the remaining squadron from the city to the ruins at the city gate to organize a defense.
After all, the fire at the city gate would eventually be extinguished, but this fire had delayed his troop deployment.
He's definitely going to hold on tight.
Outside the town.
"Commander, the road is blocked by fire. Should we pave a road with soil?"
One of Zhang Zhongwei's trusted confidants, watching the raging fire on the ruins, offered his opinion.
"Commander, using soil to put out the fire is too slow. We're pressed for time. Let's just use explosives and grenades."
But before Zhang Zhongwei could speak, Yang Wuyong shouted from behind.
"Yes, yes, yes, look at my brain. Did you guys hear what the strategist said? From this position, throw grenades into the fire."
"Blast a path through!"
Zhang Zhongwei immediately pointed to a spot where the fire was less intense and gave instructions to the soldiers around him.
But no sooner had Zhang Zhongwei finished speaking than the whistling sound of artillery shells slicing through the air came from above the night sky.
Zhang Zhongwei recognized the commotion immediately and shouted.
"Lie down!"
After shouting that, Zhang Zhongwei immediately lay down on the spot.
They retreated into the trenches that the Japanese had dug earlier.
He also dragged his strategist Yang Wuyong, who was standing next to him, into the conversation.
"Boom, boom boom boom!!!"
As soon as Zhang Zhongwei took cover in the trench, Japanese artillery shells began to rain down.
At this moment, at the entrance of the town, shells were being fired out of the town by the Japanese soldiers as if they were free.
It landed near the still-burning city gate and continued to extend outwards.
The soldiers whose road was blocked by the fire were in trouble. Every now and then, Zhang Zhongwei's soldiers would be blown away by the shockwaves of shells fired by the Japanese.
Zhang Zhongwei, who was hiding in the trench, also realized that the Japanese artillery bombardment was a bit too strong this time.
Hearing the explosions mixed with the screams of his men, Zhang Zhongwei couldn't stand still any longer.
He gritted his teeth, preparing to give the order to retreat, but just then, Yang Wuyong tugged at Zhang Zhongwei's sleeve.
It pointed to the ruins of the city gate, which had been engulfed in flames.
Zhang Zhongwei couldn't help but chuckle when he saw it.
The Japanese artillery shells actually blasted a huge hole in the roadblock in front of them.
Meanwhile, Li Tian, who was in the rear, calculated the approximate location of the Japanese artillery squad by writing and drawing based on the impact points of the Japanese shells.
Meanwhile, after Li Tian calculated the coordinates of the Japanese artillery, Gou Dan sent another telegram to Er City.
When Bai Luo received Zhang Qing's message again, Sha Niu's eyes lit up.
He immediately went to the car's computer and awkwardly entered the coordinates.
After Bai Luo's confirmation, preparations for launch were made.
But the next moment, a bear paw impatiently slapped at the launch button.
"Bang! Silly bear!!!"
The sound of rockets being launched and Bai Luo's angry roar rang out simultaneously.
Another rocket, trailing a long plume of flame, streaked across the night sky and flew towards the southeast of Er City.
Bai Luo jumped out of the car quickly and watched the rocket fly out of his sight.
Turning its head, it set its sights on the silly bear who was still holding its own food bowl.
He looked at the big fat bear huddled behind the silly girl, peeking out with its head and looking at him innocently.
Bai Luo was amused by its appearance, glared at it fiercely, and then ignored it.
Meanwhile, the rocket launched by Silly Bear had already reached the skies above the town.
Meanwhile, Zhang Zhongwei and his men had already charged into the town despite the shelling.
But as soon as they crossed the ruins, they were met with fierce resistance from the Japanese soldiers.
Following the breach created by the Japanese bombs, Zhang Zhongwei organized two assaults, but they failed to break into the town and were held back by the Japanese soldiers in the ruins.
Once you're in, you can't leave; once you're in, you can't leave.
They were caught in a dilemma. Just when Zhang Zhongwei was so anxious that he wanted to lead the team to charge, he was caught in a dilemma.
A familiar fireball appeared in his sight once again.
