Thump! With a muffled sound, another shell whizzed through the air in a parabola, hitting the top of the third Japanese tank 800 meters away.（）
At this moment, most of the Japanese tanks were Type 89 light tanks with outdated performance. The front armor was only about 10 millimeters, let alone the top.
Under the impact of the explosion, the top of the tank was instantly penetrated. A large amount of shock waves surged out like a tidal wave, instantly swallowing the five Japanese armored soldiers inside.
The raging flames also caused the ammunition in the ammunition storage of the Japanese tank to explode. A series of violent explosions sounded.
A ball of dazzling flames shot up into the sky. In the flames, the Japanese tank was blown into pieces, dismembered into countless steel fragments. The shockwave of the explosion raged and flew everywhere. Some unlucky Japanese soldiers were even hit by the falling tank parts and died on the spot.
At this time, the Japanese retaliated with artillery fire and bombarded the position where Xu Guoren and the others had just been. The city wall was blown up and was on the verge of collapse. Flames soared into the sky.
"Kaka!" Seeing that their troops had entered the effective range of the light machine guns (1,000 meters), a lieutenant commander immediately pulled out his sword and roared at the top of his lungs.
As he gave the order, the thousands of Japanese soldiers suddenly increased their speed and rushed toward the west gate.
At this time, there were several gaps in the west gate wall that had been blown up by the Japanese artillery. If the Japanese rushed over, they could swarm into the city through these gaps and directly enter the city.
Of course, Xu Guoren would not do as they wished. First, he fired another shot and destroyed the fourth Japanese tank. Then, he quickly turned the muzzle and aimed at the Japanese army at the front.
Boom! Boom! Boom! Xu Guoren fired three rounds in a row. Three shells flew over one after another and exploded on the ground. The devastating shock wave caused great damage to the charging Japanese soldiers.
More than a dozen Japanese were killed or injured on the spot. The Japanese's momentum was met with a fierce head-on blow.
Behind the Japanese, a Japanese officer looked at the battlefield with binoculars. He frowned in disbelief and said,"Bagaya Road, how can the artillery of the Baoshan garrison be so powerful? Four cannonballs hit four tanks of the Imperial Army. This was unbelievable!”
A second lieutenant beside the commander nodded and said,""That's right. Such accuracy is simply too terrifying. If I hadn't seen it with my own eyes, I wouldn't have believed that there was such a magical cannoneer.
This humble servant guessed that this was not the original garrison, but the unknown Zhina Army that caused great losses to the Imperial Army.”
The commander put down his binoculars and said sternly,""If that's the case, then we should eliminate them at all costs. Otherwise, if this unit escapes and grows stronger, who knows how much damage it will cause to the imperial army in the future.”
At this point, the Japanese lieutenant paused and said sternly,"Pass on my order. All the attacking troops must go all out. We must attack the city and wipe out all the Chinese troops in the city before the sky turns completely dark!”
"Ha Yi!" The second lieutenant quickly lowered his head and responded, then turned around to leave.
"Alright, pull the cannon down. We'll go to the south gate later!”Xu Guoren raised his hand after firing three rounds.
At this time, the Japanese infantry advanced at full speed and were less than 300 meters away from the city wall. The Japanese Grenadiers and heavy machine guns had already formed a suppressive fire and kept firing at the defenders to cover their assault.
Xu Guoren quickly took Xu Gensheng to the top floor of the building they had chosen. Xu Guoren picked up a medium-sized rifle, pulled the bolt, and aimed at the Japanese army who were charging outside the city. He decisively pulled the trigger.
Bang! A gunshot rang out, and 250 meters away, a Japanese soldier with a small Japanese medicine flag hanging on his gun fell.
The bullet accurately hit his forehead and penetrated the steel helmet on his head, leaving a thumb-sized bloody hole on his forehead. The bullet entered his brain and he died instantly.
After hitting the target, Xu Guoren continued to pull the bolt and aimed at the next target. Soon, all five bullets were used up. The Japanese were already within 200 meters.
Of course, Xu Guoren killed a Japanese soldier with each of the five bullets. Every shot was headshot, and every shot did not miss.
"Brothers, open fire! Bombardier, wait for the Japanese army to rush within 50 meters, then use the grenade to ruthlessly deal with these sons of b * tches!”In order to order the troops to open fire, Xu Guoren said to Xu Gensheng,"Gensheng, just load the bullets for me.”
As he said that, he threw the Zhongzheng rifle he had just fired at him. Then, he set up a light machine gun from the side and fired fiercely at the Japanese who were swarming over from outside the city.
A dense stream of bullets whizzed out and rained down on the Japanese soldiers.
The charging Japanese soldiers were hit one after another and fell to the ground one after another while screaming.
In addition, the other soldiers at the west gate opened fire as well. The defenders fired all kinds of firepower at the same time. The charging Japanese soldiers were like wheat being harvested by a harvester, falling in batches.
After Xu Guoren's light machine gun finished firing, the total number of Japanese soldiers killed by his gun in this West Gate defense battle was close to an infantry squad.
However, Xu Guoren was not in the mood to remember these things. In short, the devils in front of him kept swarming like a tide. No matter how he killed them, he could not kill them. Xu Guoren even felt that his killing efficiency was not high enough. In fact, it was already very scary.
Not counting the previous surprise attack, after entering the city, Xu Guoren single-handedly killed a Japanese fighter jet and more than a small team of infantry.
With such a battle record, he would be a super talent that would be put in an important position in any army.
At the same time, Niu Dagan was also showing his skills at the north gate. With the Japanese infantry artillery sent by Xu Guoren, he also penetrated and destroyed three Japanese tanks. The remaining Japanese tanks were scared like birds that were frightened by the bow. They no longer dared to charge with the infantry, but they scrambled to reverse and retreat in a panic.
Yao Ziqing was stationed at the east gate because it was not the main direction of the Japanese attack, so the pressure was much smaller and could basically stabilize the front line.
Only Zhang Jinhu was stationed at the south gate. He did not have the super individual combat ability of Xu Guoren and Niu Dagan, nor did he have the luck of Yao Ziqing. The south gate was also one of the main directions of the Japanese army.
Therefore, from the beginning, Zhang Jinhu's West Gate garrison was under great pressure and was almost completely suppressed by the Japanese army.
In the end, he relied on his courage to stop the Japanese army from attacking the city. However, the situation became more and more critical because of the enemy's powerful firepower and large number of troops.
Seeing that the enemy was about to break through the city defense, Zhang Jinhu led his troops to fight to the death and sent people to the west gate to ask Xu Guoren for help.
