In an alley next to East Street, soldiers were busy.
A row of large cars collected from the city were parked in the alley.
The students from the fifth division who entered the city from the east city gate were noisily tying the levers of the two carts together.
Another soldier carried the sandbags to the wheel position of the cart and fixed the sandbags firmly with hemp ropes. Another soldier pressed the quilt on the sandbag, and then someone poured water on the quilt.
The cutting-edge weapon of the Eighth Route Army: the earth tank.
After a squeaking sound, the first car rolled out of the alley and onto East Street, where bullets were flying and smoke filled.
Then came the second one
There were two students lying on the frame truck at the front, and a light machine gun was mounted on a sandbag.
There is a gap between the two trucks tied together. Two cadet soldiers from the fifth division are holding rifles, ready to deal with enemies that may appear from the shops on both sides of the street.
Chariots existed as early as the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period. After two thousand years of development, we have already entered the era of hot weapons. The methods of attack are no different from those used by our ancestors.
Even further behind than our ancestors, there were no horses to pull the carts, so we had to rely on the soldiers arranged by the Fourth Route Army behind to push them.
More than a hundred meters away from the county government wall, the soldiers attacking from the shops on both sides have advanced almost halfway.
As long as they rush through the last fifty meters, they can use explosive packs to blow up the county government office walls, and throw grenades to flatten the ancient buildings inside the county government offices.
Kill all those bandits who do all kinds of evil.
Leave no one behind.
As for whether the county government building is something left by our ancestors, the students have no idea.
Three earthen tanks moved slowly westward on the street.
The armed staff members who had occupied the shops on both sides of the street heard Captain Geng's order and began to throw grenades in front of the tanks on the street as cover.
As the creaking sound continued to approach on the smoke-filled street.
Seven or eight rifles fired fiercely from the heavy machine gun emplacement at the base of the county government office wall.
The heavy machine gun never fired.
Being pinned down near the county government office by gunfire from the east, the bandit leader who was hiding on the upper floor of the county government office was going crazy.
There is no movement in Xicheng. This is completely illogical.
Several bandit soldiers squatted behind the sandbags of the heavy machine gun and stopped showing up after firing.
The machine gunner sat on the ammunition box and smoked, his hands trembling.
Knowing how to use a heavy machine gun does not mean you have experienced big scenes.
"Don't panic. The Eighth Route Army hasn't come up yet. Throw the grenades first and don't be too busy firing the heavy machine guns." The bandit battalion commander was lying on the roof of the county office building while shouting, while using the revolver to push the big-brimmed hat on his head.
From the appearance point of view, the biggest difference between bandit soldiers and puppet soldiers is their military uniforms.
From ancient times to the present, uniforms have been intimidating to ordinary people.
Being able to wear that yellow dog skin means that your status is superior to others.
Just like a man wearing a short coat is afraid of a country squire wearing a long coat.
The bandit battalion commander has ever commanded a major battle?
of course not.
In his memory, it was too far away to be accurate.
As for whether the heavy machine gun needs to be accurate, he doesn't know. Anyway, the Czech light machine gun has an aiming wheel on it, so the heavy machine gun must also be aimed accurately to hit the target.
But the current situation seems to be different from what Wang Sanzhu said.
He kept one sentence in mind: Heavy machine guns can cause large-scale damage to the opponent, but now no one can see it, how can it kill?
The young commander who was born in a military academy also talked about suppressing firepower. Now that no one can even be seen, and the other party doesn't fire, who can suppress the firepower?
Are you going to hit the sandbags piled on the cart by the Eighth Route Army?
The diffuse smoke made it difficult to see, but the observation posts arranged by the bandit soldiers on the street could see clearly!
No one needs to be taught how to arrange observation posts. Even a gangster knows how to keep watch.
The idea of the pseudo-battalion commander is not complicated. The eastern section of Dongda Street is in the hands of the Eighth Route Army, and the western section near the county government is still in the hands of the bandit soldiers. If your earthen tank from the Eighth Route Army dares to get close, throw a few grenade ladders first. I don’t believe it can’t blow you up. Those broken trucks!
The heavy machine gun is reserved for defense against the Eighth Route Army. Those who like to shout, kill and charge desperately are most likely to use it.
The pseudo-battalion commander never went to a military academy, but he knew a lot about the military.
His arrangement indeed caused a lot of casualties to the Eighth Route Attack!
First, the Eighth Route Army on both sides of the street threw grenades to provide cover for the attacking tanks.
When the tanks reached the position where both sides were engaged, the bandit soldiers began to throw grenades.
A gun can't hit you, how can you dodge a grenade?
The dust cloud raised by the grenade also began to rise, blurring the sight of both the attacker and the defender.
The sounds of gunshots and explosions mingled together, and the smoke became denser and denser.
The work teams on both sides of the street advanced from yard to yard with practitioners from the first division.
High up in the main street, there were practitioners lying on the adjacent roof, shooting short-term.
At the lower wall of the backyard, a practitioner took out a grenade and threw it into the neighboring yard.
As soon as the explosion ended, a group of three immediately scaled the wall and attacked.
Although the advancement speed is not fast, it is quite smooth.
For two-story houses with street shops, throw grenades directly into the windows.
The bandits hiding in the house will die whether they surrender or not!
Who cares about so much on the battlefield?
Shoot when you see an enemy.
But the chant still has to be shouted: "Lie down on the ground. Put the gun aside. Hand up the gun and do not kill."
It doesn't matter whether the bandits surrender or not.
The purpose of shouting like this is to clearly tell the bandit soldiers: We are stronger than you now, and you can't beat us!
Use this to destroy the confidence of the bandits!
At the same time, it also conveyed a message to the bandit soldiers. If they don’t want to die or surrender, there is a third way, which is to retreat towards the county government!
It's not like cleaning the battlefield and raising your hands to surrender is completely nonsense.
Da da da.
The machine gun on the tank moving westward in the smoke-filled East Street suddenly rang out.
Three machine guns opened fire one after another.
Bullets fired from one machine gun rushed towards the county barricade, while the other two fired bullets towards the ground-floor shops on both sides of the street.
The shop was about to open for business, and the bandits hiding behind the door immediately regretted it.
The one-and-a-half-inch-thick door panel could not stop machine gun bullets at close range. The machine gun bullets that penetrated the board continued to wreak havoc in the shops on the first floor.
The following practitioners fired shell guns at the second floor of a shop in front of them.
The top and bottom cooperated seamlessly, and the more they fought, the more skilled they became. Suddenly, more students appeared on the rooftops on both sides.
The machine gun teams located on the roofs on both sides provided suppressive fire and slowly advanced.
Boom boom
The grenades thrown by the bandit soldiers into the street exploded one after another.
Earth tanks kept being overturned. The earth tanks following them immediately bypassed the sandbag wooden frames on the ground and quickly moved forward to take up positions.
The health workers hurried forward with a stretcher and carried the injured practitioner back.
Practitioners on the main street of Dongjie Street advanced in parallel with the soldiers of the Fourth Route Army coming in from the east gate.
The newly formed Fourth Route Army soldiers who came in from the north and south city gates also followed the students and cautiously attacked in the direction of the county government office, constantly expanding their control area.
There are a large number of bandit soldiers hiding in the yard near the east side of the county government office.
There are more than 2,000 bandits in the county, and nearly half of them ran west.
As the Eighth Route Army advanced, there were fewer and fewer non-direct bandit soldiers remaining in the east of the city, but there were still nearly a thousand bandit soldiers from Wang Taigong's direct line!
On the second floor of the county government building, Li Huanzhang, who was lying behind the window pretending to be Ma Liang, was looking around with wide eyes: Now he had to find a way to get two grenades.
Take advantage of the chaos later and throw it into the bandits' heavy machine gun position not far away from your nose.
