At this time, under the leadership of Xu Guoren and his courageous performance, the morale of the soldiers guarding the west gate was greatly boosted. All kinds of weapons opened fire, and a large number of bullets rained down on the Japanese soldiers.
Because of the super sharpshooter Xu Guoren, the Japanese Grenadiers and Machine Gunners were unlucky. Often, not long after the two sides exchanged fire, they would be shot in the head by a bullet from somewhere and die on the spot.
They could not play their original role at all.
In less than half an hour, the Japanese army that attacked the west gate had been forced to stop attacking because of the heavy casualties.
By the time Xu Guoren repelled the Japanese attack, he had already killed at least 150 people. He had almost destroyed an entire Japanese squadron by himself.
After receiving Zhang Jinhu's request for help, Xu Guoren instructed Xu Gensheng, who was still loading bullets for him,"Gensheng, I'll bring 20 people to the south gate to support Big Brother Zhang. He's a person who cares about his face. If it wasn't for the urgency of the battle, he wouldn't have sent for help! You stay here and keep an eye on them. If the devils come again, lead everyone to fight fiercely like just now!”
Xu Gensheng quickly nodded and replied,"Oh, okay, Brother Ren, don't worry."”
Xu Guoren gathered 20 elite soldiers and took some weapons and ammunition to leave. After a few steps, Xu Guoren turned back and urged Xu Gensheng,"Gensheng, the Japanese might launch another artillery attack on the west gate. According to what I told you on the way here, don't run around. Just pay attention to avoiding them.”
"Yes, sir! Brother Ren, don't worry. I'm here. Even if we fight to the last person, we won't let the Japanese attack.”Xu Gensheng patted his chest and promised loudly.
However, Xu Guoren understood that the Japanese had just lost their attack and lost nearly two squadrons of precious troops. In a short period of time, they would not send troops to attack the west gate. At most, they would retaliate with artillery fire.
On the contrary, the Guizi felt that the south gate was weak and would probably concentrate their forces on the south gate to break through.
Therefore, Xu Guoren led 20 soldiers with 2 Type 92 Infantry Cannons and rushed towards the south gate.
Xu Guoren was carrying a medium-sized rifle, a light machine gun, and a Mauser pistol at his waist.
At this moment, the streets were filled with the ruins of buildings that had been blown to pieces. On both sides of the street, there were some buildings that had been destroyed by the flames of war, and there was still smoke from time to time.
A burnt smell filled the entire street. The entire treasure mountain was almost the same. It was in a mess and covered in ruins. It looked like an ancient city that had been ravaged by the wind and frost. Everywhere was filled with a crumbling and desolate feeling.
However, due to the urgency of the war, Xu Guoren had no time to observe these things. He led 20 soldiers all the way and finally arrived at the south gate when the Japanese army was about to break through.
Xu Guoren ordered the cannons to be set up immediately and personally operated one of them. He suddenly fired a shot at a large gap in the city wall where a large number of Japanese soldiers had already swarmed in.
Outside the gap, a dazzling red light suddenly rose, followed by a violent explosion.”
The shell landed right in the middle of the Japanese army, blowing up at least 20 Japanese soldiers.
"Take aim! Hurry!" Xu Guoren reloaded another shell and personally pulled the trigger. A high-explosive grenade flew out again and fell into the Japanese army outside the city. Another violent explosion occurred. More than a dozen Japanese soldiers were unable to dodge in time and were blown away. They died on the spot.
Then, Xu Guoren put the Zhongzheng on his back and pulled the bolt of the light machine gun. He led more than a dozen soldiers and roared," Xu Guoren is here!" Then, he led the way and rushed towards the city wall.
Zhang Jinhu had already lost more than half of his troops. The city walls had basically been abandoned and they had retreated to the buildings in the city.
However, Xu Guoren arrived in time and fired two shots in a row, giving the enemy a head-on blow.
They managed to contain the Japanese's attack. Seeing Xu Guoren fearlessly charge at the abandoned city wall with more than a dozen reinforcements, Zhang Jinhu and the other soldiers were greatly encouraged.
They all jumped out of cover and followed Xu Guoren to the city wall without fear of death.
At this time, the Japanese army outside the city was almost about to break into the city from all the gaps.
Xu Guoren led the soldiers and charged forward with light machine guns. They suddenly opened fire with dense firepower and instantly hit the Japanese soldiers in batches.
Some of the soldiers opened fire as they charged forward. Some of them saw that there were too many Japanese soldiers and immediately took out grenades and threw them at the gap in the collapsed city wall.
Swoosh, swoosh, swoosh…Some grenades emitted green smoke as they spun in the air and whistled as they fell into the gaps in the city wall, causing violent explosions.
It caused great casualties to the Japanese infantry that swarmed over.
Xu Guoren and Zhang Jinhu took advantage of the situation to take over the city wall again. They looked down from above and fired wildly at the devils below.
They forcefully restrained the attack of the devils outside the city. The bullets fell from the city wall like rain, and the devils outside the city fell like grass.
The Japanese heavy machine gunners on the Japanese tanks that were covering the attack saw this and turned their guns to fire at Xu Guoren and Zhang Jinhu.
Some of the soldiers who were desperately firing at the city wall were unfortunately hit by the dense bullets from the heavy machine guns of the Japanese and fell into a pool of blood.
Some people even lost their balance and fell off the city wall after being shot.
Seeing this, Xu Guoren immediately put the light machine gun to his side and took off the Zhongzheng rifle on his back. He quickly pulled the bolt and aimed at the Japanese heavy machine gunner on one of the tanks. He held his breath, locked on to the target, and decisively pulled the trigger.
Pa! A gunshot rang out, and the Japanese heavy machine gunner who was firing wildly a few hundred meters away fell to the ground from the top of the tank.
Then, Xu Guoren fired five shots in a row and silenced all the machine guns on the five Japanese tanks.
Immediately after, the angry Japanese tanks used the 37mm tank cannons on their tanks to fire at the south gate.
It caused a lot of casualties to the defending soldiers. Xu Guoren's combat power was naturally unmatched, but his troops were too few. Seeing that the Japanese army was about to rush up again, Xu Guoren was planning to give up the city wall and retreat to the city to fight the enemy in the streets.
Niu Dagen personally led more than a hundred troops from the north gate.
"Little Japanese, your Grandpa Niu is here. If you're not afraid of death, come!”Niu Dagen took the lead and rushed up the city wall with a light machine gun. He fired fiercely at the Japanese soldiers swarming over.
With the addition of their new troops, the firepower of the defenders was greatly strengthened, and they immediately suppressed the attack of the Japanese.
"Dagan, why are you here?" Xu Guoren was overjoyed. He squatted down and leaned against the city wall. He asked as he loaded the bullets in his hand.
"I've already repelled the devils at the north gate, so there's no Wang Hai to hold them back. I heard that the south gate was in an emergency, so I brought some people over!”Niu Dagen said as he sprayed bullets at the Japanese.
"Great, you came just in time. The Japanese tanks have caused a lot of trouble for the South Gate garrison.”After Xu Guoren finished speaking, he shouted at Zhang Jinhu, who was not far away,"Brother Zhang, I'll leave the defense to you. Dagan and I will personally fire the cannons and take out the Japanese tanks first!”
