Chapter 32: The Jin Army's Offensive (Seeking Collection Quantity)

  And the second round of volley, needless to say, was fired by the warriors of the two squads. The two squads, plus the cooking class, more than 70 rifles, shot out a neat row of bullets at once. And those Jin-Sui soldiers who were not on guard at all fell down directly under the dense volleys, with dozens of soldiers in the front row falling down.

  As for the remaining soldiers, they suddenly lost their command and saw their comrades fall down beside them... one by one, they were immediately frightened pale, starting to run wildly around the position, and some had already begun to retreat. However, at this time, the second round of rifle fire from the soldiers had arrived. Faced with the now chaotic attacking formation, the killing power of the second round of bullets was even greater.

  "Bastards, retreat immediately, quickly, retreat...." Finally, a Jin-Sui army company that was in charge of the attack retreated in disarray from the battlefield after leaving behind more than half of their corpses and almost all of their commanders under several rounds of gunfire.

  "Damn it... my whole company..." Seeing his own company, they actually lost more than half in just a few rounds of rifle fire from the enemy. Regimental Commander Li Qian cursed loudly, clenching his fists tightly as if he wanted to swallow the Red Army inside the city whole.

  "Comrade Commander, don't be angry. Although we lost dozens of brothers, we also figured out the strength of the Red Army inside the city from the recent attack. Judging from the gunfire just now, there are only about a company of Red Army soldiers on the city wall, and they have no heavy weapons. This means that our intelligence is correct..." The chief of staff reminded him hastily, seeing the commander's face full of anger.

  "Damn it, once I enter the city, I will definitely wipe out this group of Red Army. Order the artillery company to build a position immediately and bombard the city wall for me. The heavy machine gun company will also build a position, First Battalion, prepare for attack. The Red Army has no heavy firepower, strive to take down the city wall in one go, and wipe out the Red Army on the city wall." Regimental Commander Li Qian nodded and loudly ordered his officers.

  "Yes, sir..." Several officers took their leave.

  As the Jin-Sui army outside the city began to deploy, Guo Chengzhu on the city wall was not idle. In addition to continuing to reinforce the defensive fortifications and machine gun positions on the city wall, he observed the Jin-Sui army's every move. Finally, just as Guo Chengzhu was carefully observing the Jin-Sui army's every move with the instructor's binoculars, the Jin-Sui army finally took action.

  The soldiers of the artillery battalion following the troops began to unload and assemble three mortars from the mules, while boxes of shells were also being taken down. More importantly, a heavy machine gun company's 12 heavy machine guns were being set up under the command of Shanxi soldiers on a high ground less than 400 meters away from the city wall. What surprised Guo Chengzhu and Zhang Hua was that this machine gun position was only less than 100 meters in a straight line distance from the location of the special company's hidden bunker outside the city.

  "Not good, the Shanxi army is preparing to open fire. He Guanghua, leave a squad of soldiers on guard, and immediately retreat the rest to under the city wall, remember to bring all the machine guns, quickly..." Seeing this, as the highest commander in the city, Guo Chengzhu gave a loud order without any hesitation.

  Soon, the city wall that had just been lined with nearly a hundred people suddenly became empty, leaving only a dozen or so soldiers hiding behind the battlements, constantly gazing at the Jinwei army not far away.

  "Boom, boom, boom!" Just after the warriors withdrew from the city wall, three dull sounds of mortar fire came from the artillery position outside the city. Immediately afterwards, a sharp whistling sound followed. Three shells flew over the Jinwei army under the city wall and landed on top of the city wall.

  "Boom, boom, boom..." Three explosions rang out. On the city wall, three huge flames burst out in an instant, and the flying shrapnel hit the stone bricks on the city wall with a loud crash. In less than a few seconds after the three explosions passed, another three explosions sounded on the city wall. After five rounds of artillery fire, the artillery positions of the Jin-Sui army outside the city finally stopped. And immediately afterwards, came the dense firing sound of 12 heavy machine guns...

  "Chief of Staff, the enemy has started to attack..." Just as the sound of heavy machine guns reached Guo Chengzhu's ears, the alarm whistle also sounded on the city wall.

  "Hurry, the Jin Sui army has started to attack. Comrades, quickly enter your combat positions, hurry... The enemy's mortars are all 60-caliber small mortars. Although they have great killing power, their destruction of fortifications is extremely limited. Running onto the city wall, the defensive fortifications on the entire city wall, except for a few that were directly hit and blown up, the rest are basically intact."

  "Hurry, get into your respective combat positions!" Seeing the almost intact defensive position, Guo Chengzhu let out a sigh of relief and shouted loudly. At the same time, he rushed to his own command position, peeked through the embrasure of the city wall, and quietly stuck out his head to observe the enemy situation outside the city.

  Under the cover of dense fire from 12 heavy machine guns, a battalion of Shanxi soldiers slowly approached the city wall in a dense formation. The intense machine gun fire from the Shanxi army made the city wall crack and stones flew everywhere. It can be certain that if they had not reinforced the defensive fortifications on the city wall with sandbags beforehand, Guo Chengzhu was sure that his force of over 100 men would not have been able to withstand the enemy's firepower for even a few minutes.

  "Comrades, hold steady! We have the protection of the city walls and sandbags, it's hard for the enemy to hit us. Listen up, as soon as the enemy enters within 200 meters, the riflemen will start firing. All machine gunners must wait for my order before opening fire. The sniper team is still the same, free to shoot..." Guo Chengzhu hastily ordered, seeing some new recruits showing fear in their faces as they faced the hail of bullets from the enemy.

  "Bang, bang..." Soon after Guo Chengzhu's order was given, several sharp gunshots rang out on the city wall. Needless to say, it was clear that these were the special agent company snipers opening fire. Sure enough, with the sound of the gunfire, three Jin-Sui army officers holding pistols clutched their chests and fell to the ground in the attacking troops.

  With the sound of three shots, the ten snipers on the city wall began to fire intermittently. Of course, their targets were not ordinary soldiers of the Jin-Sui Army, but machine gunners or enemy officers.
