The brothers in the national army looked at the neon army getting closer and closer, with sparks in their eyes.
But on the battlefield, everything must obey military orders.
"Don't be in a hurry to shoot, let the Japanese in!"
Ye Jizu, commander of the 2nd company in charge of the city gate defense, ordered to the brothers.
After listening to the company commander's order, Ma Xiaoguang and Lao Li looked at each other and nodded in admiration.
Although the national army stationed in Baoshan is also a rare elite in the Chinese army, its firepower is still very weak compared to the Neon Army.
An infantry company of the national army is equipped with nine light machine guns.
Heavy machine guns and other heavy equipment can only be equipped at the battalion level.
The entire battalion only has six heavy machine guns and two 82mm mortars.
This was the status quo at the time.
Judging from the situation on the opposite side, in addition to tanks, the Neon Army should be attacking with a large group!
There are thousands of Japs in a brigade. Although not all 1,000 people will attack at once, this wave of offensive involves at least two squadrons!
So we can only put the devil closer and then fight.
The Japanese were getting closer and closer, and Ma Xiaoguang could clearly see the ferocious expressions on many people's faces and their bloodthirsty eyes...
"beat!"
Following the company commander's order, the weapons in the hands of the national army opened fire one after another.
"Da da da"
This is a three-shot burst from a Czech light machine gun.
"Bang" "Bang" "Bang"
What started firing was a medium-sized rifle.
The gunshots suddenly sounded one after another on the national army's position.
Some bullets hit the armor of the tank, splashing sparks, and of course some bullets hit the attacking Japanese.
Those who were shot fell down one after another.
Soon the screams of national army artillery shells sounded overhead.
The shells landed and exploded among the enemy...
But none of this stopped the Neon Army from attacking. Under the cover of the chariot, they still followed their own pace and approached the east gate of Baoshan.
The Neon Army's tank stopped, and the machine gun on the vehicle started firing.
Because the national army dug anti-tank trenches in front of the fortifications, the highly maneuverable neon army tanks temporarily stopped.
Some engineers at the back threw bundles of firewood into the trench.
"Covering fire! Demoman ready!"
Captain Ye loudly gave orders to the machine gunner next to him.
The Czech light machine gun gradually began to fire three rounds in a coordinated manner - this way the firepower was more sustained and the accuracy of the shooting was much better than shooting randomly.
The mortars behind and other brothers in the national army also opened fire with their weapons, first suppressing the opponent's firepower and providing cover for the demolition crew to approach the opponent's tank.
What Ma Xiaoguang and Lao Li were holding was not the official Chinese version, but the 38 caps seized from the Japanese sentries yesterday.
This kind of rifle is not as powerful as the medium-sized rifle, but its shooting accuracy is higher. If two people shoot at different places, the bullets will basically be missed.
"Lao Li, how many have you killed?"
"Five... Damn, there are just too few bullets. Every shot is missing."
"When the Japanese retreat, I will have as many bullets as you want."
Ma Xiaoguang said to Lao Li while loading the magazine.
Zhao Qingze and Fu Mingyi stood aside without saying a word, firing one shot after another.
They also got the Type 38 from the Neon Engineers yesterday. Since they don't have many bullets now, they can only use them sparingly.
Under the cover of our own firepower, a dozen or so National Army blasters jumped out of the city gate fortifications and rushed towards the Neon Army's line...
A demolitionist ran faster and rushed ahead, but was discovered by the neon soldiers.
"Pa" "Pa"
"Tu tu tu tu"
The rifles of the Neon Army and the machine guns on the tanks opened fire.
The demolition gun jumped into a crater in alarm, and a torrential rain of bullets hit the ground, splashing up a piece of Saturn...
Upon seeing this, the brothers on the National Army side quickly fired a burst of firepower in the direction of the shooting, once again temporarily suppressing the Neon Army's firepower.
The demolitionist jumped up, ducked, and ran quickly in the direction of the Neon Army tank.
"Pa" "Pa"
Two gunshots rang out, and the Demoman froze and fell unwillingly on the charge road...
But the others behind him did not stop, braving the hail of bullets from the Neon Army and gradually approaching the anti-tank trench!
With another wave of firepower output from the National Army, the Demoman attacked again, and the Neon Army's tank was right in front of them.
"Tu tu tu tu"
The neon infantry machine gun on the back of the tank fired.
Several blasters fell to the ground with their eyes wide open and their sockets about to burst.
"Boom!" "Boom!"
The two fallen demolitions fired their own cluster grenades.
For a time, sand and soil flew everywhere and smoke filled the air.
A demolitionist behind did not hesitate at all. He rushed with all his strength towards the front Neon Army Type 94 tank, which was about to pass through the trench through a passage lined with firewood.
A bullet hit him, but the demolitionist did not stop. He rolled down the trench with the cluster grenade and reached under the tank.
"boom!"
The cluster grenade exploded, and the Neon Army's "Bean Chariot" was immediately decommissioned, and a thick plume of smoke rose into the sky.
Just when the Neon Army was stunned, all kinds of light and heavy weapons of the National Army opened fire at once, and more demolitioners jumped into the trench.
"Boom" "Boom" "Boom"
Several more tanks exploded, sending billowing black smoke into flames.
After the tank was bombed, the Neon Army infantry did not retreat. Instead, under the organization of frontline officers and sergeants, they concentrated all their firepower and fired at the city gate.
"Swish swish"
"Choo Choo Choo"
Bullets flew overhead and landed on the dirt behind him.
Bullets rained like rain, and Ma Xiaoguang and Lao Li could only temporarily hide behind sandbags.
"Fighting like this is not the way to go!"
Ma Xiaoguang gritted his teeth and said to Lao Li bitterly.
"Yes, the Japanese have chariots. We will suffer a huge loss if we fight like this."
Lao Li said while loading bullets.
As soon as he finished speaking, he heard another shrill scream above his head, coming from the direction behind the Neon Army's front line.
"Boom!" "Boom!"
A loud thunder-like sound rang out around me again, and the rain-like shells destroyed everything around them with devastating power.
The city gate, which had a big gap in it, was completely turned into rubble after several explosions.
Many parts of the city wall have also begun to collapse...
In the trenches and fortifications of the Chinese army, some of the brothers who were fighting bravely against the enemy a minute ago have disappeared, leaving only the twisted rifles on the battlefield...
Ma Xiaoguang and Lao Li had anticipated this situation before they came, but after experiencing it for themselves, their hearts still twitched!
The bombardment lasted thirty minutes.
The position in front of the city gate was already a sea of fire and smoke.
Before he could take a breath, Ma Xiaoguang heard the roar of an engine faintly next to his ears.
Looking through the smoke, six black figures appeared in sight.
"Chariot again?"
Lao Li asked.
"No, it's the Japanese Type 97 medium tank!"
Ma Xiaoguang said in a deep voice.
