Behind the city gate is the larger Wengcheng.
Zhang Wei has set up defensive positions on the front and sides.
The three lines of defense on the front are still the same.
Of course, the distance is relatively tight.
The mortar discharge is at the end, and the three lines of defense that have just been closed are All the battalion soldiers gathered together and assigned a platoon to Zhang Wei's command.
The rest went to the city to prepare for street fighting, and at the same time reported to Chen Chunyi.
There are no automatic firearms in the three fortifications on the front.
The main firepower is the last three 82 mortars and a strengthened heavy machine gun.
The flanking positions were all arranged behind the city wall, arranged vertically and horizontally, with three lines of defense facing the city gate opening sandwiched between them.
The flank defense lines on both sides were commanded by Qiu Wei and Hao Zhong respectively.
Zhang Wei concentrated all the light machine guns on these two platoons.
It can be said that each squad of these two platoons has two light machine guns.
Of course, after getting rid of this team, Gotta give it back. , their purpose was to wait for all the Japanese troops to rush in, kill and injure them, block the Japanese troops' retreat to the city gate, and then cooperate with the defenders in the frontal position to surround and annihilate this small group of Japanese soldiers.
At this time, everyone was lying behind the sandbags.
Only the rifles with bayonets were tilted.
Zhang Wei counted the time in his heart.
In a few minutes, the Japanese troops would probably rush in.
He ordered: "Get ready."
The soldiers in the position took out the cluster grenades that had been prepared for a long time.
The mortars and heavy machine guns were also ready to launch.
It depends on their cooperation.
As long as we cooperate well this time, killing them won't be a problem.
There were chirping shouts in the distance.
The Japanese squad rushed in like headless flies.
It seemed that they felt that the Chinese army had lost its ability to resist.
Zhang Wei did not order to fire.
Everyone was waiting behind the sandbags.
What they were waiting for was the gunshots from the flank positions, because Only from the flanks could we see whether all the Japanese troops had entered the city.
Therefore, Zhang Wei gave the power to fire first to Qiu Wei and Hao Zhong.
The Japanese army was very surprised that there were several mortars on the position not far away.
Why did these Chinese soldiers not fire?
Just as they were thinking, they had all entered the city and were exposed in front of the fortifications on the side.
"Fight!"
Qiu Wei shouted.
Qiu Wei's platoon's six light machine guns and machine rifles opened fire first.
The Japanese soldiers who were caught off guard were killed on the spot.
More than a dozen of them were killed.
Hao Zhong's platoon also opened fire.
The Japanese soldiers now thought the National Army was the enemy.
The defenses were all on the flanks, and they immediately knelt down and fired at the defenses on both sides.
At this time, Zhang Wei ordered to open fire.
A crossfire net of mortars and heavy machine guns hit near the city gate.
Nothing could be seen clearly, only flesh and blood flying everywhere.
Zhang Wei fired a formal shot, and the Type 24 heavy machine gun beside him They are frantically harvesting human lives.
The mortar fired rapidly, and the shrapnel almost hit one of the own people.

After a wave of attacks, only a dozen people were left in a Japanese squad.
Zhang Wei didn't want to bother, so he picked up the cluster grenade beside him and threw it over.
The soldiers also threw it, and nearly a hundred grenades sounded at the city gate.
A song of death, a rain of grenades followed by a machine-rifle fire.
The bullets passed through the thick smoke, and it was unknown who hit them.
Everyone held one belief, that is, to hit and kill.
When the dust and smoke dissipated, there was no movement on the other side of the city gate.
Only the stumps and corpses were left, with blood and flesh dripping all over the ground.
Zhang Wei stood up, put down the rifle in his hand, and won the first battle, wiping out a small Japanese unit.
This was the first time that the soldiers were so happy.
You know, they had been chased and beaten before.
Everyone started cheering.
They killed a small team with almost no casualties.
In the past, they would have never dared to think about it.
Zhang Wei sent someone to inform Chen Chunyi that other people were cleaning the battlefield and clearing the positions.
They could not let these corpses block the firing range for a while.
Since the Japanese army would not attack for a while, Zhang Wei asked Qiu Wei to watch the troops first and then return. of the city.
Chen Chunyi's headquarters is located in the county government, which has long been deserted.
The three-story cement building provides quite good defense.
When the two met, Chen Chunyi first praised Zhang Wei and talked about the next strategy of fighting.
Zhang Wei's opinion was to immediately withdraw all the troops near the city gate and withdraw them to residential buildings and alleys.
Relying on these The fortifications and Japanese street fighting consumed them to death.
Chen Chunyi also believed that there could be no hard support and agreed to Zhang Wei's request to shrink his troops.
Back at the city gate, Qiu Wei had already gathered his troops.
Qiu Wei came over and asked: "Company commander, what should we do?"
"Bring them all back to the city and rely on those houses to fight the Japanese."
After Zhang Wei finished speaking, the troops retreated to the city in an orderly manner.
The defense zones were divided using a fragmented contract system, with platoons as units to occupy certain areas and private houses. , each squad was stationed in a different room, using the opened perforations to shoot, and at the same time distributed a large number of grenades to the troops.
The four platoons formed a square defensive area, cooperating with the neighboring third battalion's defense area, and not far behind was the regiment headquarters.
Zhang Wei's headquarters was located in a paper shop, which was relatively strong.
The mortar company was also returned to Chen Chunyi.
Zhang Wei asked Dong Erli to set up a position on the roof and wait for opportunities for support.
Before the Japanese army arrived, all the troops were ready and hidden in various civilian houses.
People and horses were also deployed at the commanding heights.
The defense areas of each row were isolated from each other.
Except for some connecting parts, as long as the order was given to fire, the Japanese troops would be eaten to death. of.
After losing a squad, the Japanese army was shocked.
The Chinese defenders in the city had the ability to kill a squad.
This had to be taken seriously.
After entering the outer battle, the siege brigade still had two and a half squadrons of infantry.
The Japanese commander did not lose the strength and used it carefully.
This time he must increase the number of troops.
To be safe, he dispatched a squadron and a half.
This was the maximum strength that could be used.
If the strength was still slightly insufficient, he used artillery to make up for it.

Bar.
A mountain artillery squadron carried out a covering bombardment of the city without careful aim.
Zhang Wei and the soldiers were all in civilian houses.
At this time, they could only wait and see their fate.
Just now, a shell hit a building in the third battalion defense area.
The collapsed building directly destroyed a squad below. , that scene was too horrible to watch.
At this time, the damage caused by shrapnel was ranked last.
Zhang Wei's people were better.
In the shelling just now, only seven or eight people were injured and no one died.
"Hang in there, don't mess up."
After the Japanese shelling, what was left was ruins.
The soldiers rushed to repair the fortifications and treat the wounded.
The cessation of the shelling was the signal for the infantry attack.
The attacking Japanese infantry did not carry heavy weapons, nor heavy machine guns, so they rushed into the city with the infantry's light weapons.
After entering the city, the Japanese troops were divided into two groups, each with more than a hundred people.
One part entered Zhang Wei's defense area, and the other entered the third battalion's defense area.
Looking at the gradually increasing number of buildings, the Japanese soldiers began to slow down their progress and searched around with their guns raised.
All this was seen by the soldiers secretly observing in the private houses
