Anti-Japanese War: When I get promoted, the system will explode with soldiers

Just as the assault team advanced, a bullet came from a distance. Perhaps due to nervousness, the bullet missed its mark, and Wang Liqiang immediately pinpointed the enemy's location.

Bang bang bang!

Three bullets were fired in quick succession, shattering several panes of glass in a second-floor window in the distance. At the same time, a gun fell from above, and a Japanese soldier was half-lying at the window.

"Iron Fist."

The squad leader estimated the distance, and a soldier carrying an iron fist came out from behind him and fired a rocket directly into the window. Instantly, all the windows on the second floor exploded and a huge fire rushed out. No matter how many Japanese soldiers were inside, they probably wouldn't survive now.

The detachment continued forward, leaving behind only a few Japanese soldiers. After receiving the order to retreat, most of the Japanese soldiers, except for a few who had not received the order, returned.

So in less than half an hour, they had advanced to the vicinity of Central Street, where the City Hall building was located, and more than a thousand Japanese soldiers were building fortifications.

Wang Liqiang and his men were still more than 200 meters away from the Japanese. They were currently hiding in the post and telecommunications building, which was only three stories high, while the city hall building in the distance was six stories high. Therefore, they dared not make any rash moves and only dared to report the situation here. If the Japanese on the other side discovered them, they would probably start firing their Type 92 heavy machine guns.

"There are eleven firing positions above the second floor, and at least four heavy machine guns on the roof..."

Wang Liqiang used his sniper scope as a telescope, scouting the situation in the distance while reporting on the defenses of the city hall building. His men quickly wrote it down and then notified the rear.

"Suicide soldier! Third floor, left side..."

When Wang Liqiang lowered his sniper scope slightly, he spotted the most important target.

Dozens of soldiers were moving back and forth in several windows on the left side of the third floor.

The squad leader raised his binoculars, and he could see clearly now that these men were covered in grenades, with explosive charges strapped to their chests and backs. Without a doubt, these were the elite soldiers of the Isogai Division.

"Find out if there are any artillery pieces ready in the rear, or if any of the nearest patrols still have Iron Fist rifles. Take out these guys first."

The squad leader said anxiously, "Ordinary Japanese soldiers are completely different from these suicide soldiers. These suicide soldiers are the elite among the Japanese soldiers. Whether it is combat ability or personal will, they are much stronger than ordinary Japanese soldiers. Otherwise, they would not have caused us such heavy losses."

When the Qingzhou garrison was responsible for the attack outside the city, they had already captured the first line of defense of the Japanese in the first round. But why did they fail to hold it? It was because more than a dozen suicide soldiers suddenly appeared from the side. These people did not care about their own lives and rushed into the position, grabbed our soldiers, and detonated the explosives.

This was the most serious loss suffered by the Qingzhou garrison. There were several more suicide attacks afterward, some of which we managed to stop, but they still caused some damage to the soldiers. So now that we've found these guys, even if it means risking exposure, we have to send them to their doom first.

"The Second Company brought over a 75mm infantry gun; they can fire it directly."

Hearing that the military was looking out for these suicide soldiers, the squad leader breathed a sigh of relief. Our weapons were nowhere near their reach, so we could only watch helplessly.

Thirty seconds later, a shell flew from a distance and hit the third floor on the left side of the city hall.

Although the shot missed slightly, the explosion likely caused one of the suicide soldiers' explosive charges to detonate.

From Wang Liqiang's perspective, the entire left side of the third floor had transformed into a giant fireball, with flames surging wildly outwards. One could only imagine what the situation inside was like.

"here you go!"

The brothers here were also overjoyed. Although we didn't fight the battle, we provided the intelligence, so we deserve a piece of the medal.

"hidden."

One of my brothers was celebrating and waving his arm when the Japanese soldiers on the opposite building spotted him. Now, two heavy machine guns are pointed at them, and one of them has already opened fire.

The Type 92 heavy machine gun doesn't have a fast rate of fire. After a dozen or so bullets hit this side, our brothers quickly found cover. Wang Liqiang wasn't idle either; he raised his hand and fired two bullets, taking down the sniper on the other side.

The Japanese officer opposite them was talking in a rambling manner, but judging from his expression, everyone understood that he was saying there were snipers on this building and that their machine gunners should take cover.

During those few dozen seconds of downtime, the squad members found cover for themselves. No matter how loud the enemy's heavy machine guns were, all they had to do was duck and wait for the main force to arrive.

"You're something else, kid. You always brag about being our regiment's ace sniper, but I didn't really believe you. In just that short time, you managed to blow that Japanese machine gunner's head off with one shot. The title of chief sniper is yours, I'm not going to fight you for it."

The squad also has its own sniper. Wang Liqiang was temporarily recruited. The two had similar performance in training, but when it comes to the merit of instantaneous shooting in actual combat, Wang Liqiang far surpassed the other, especially since that shot just now saved the lives of several brothers.

If it weren't for Wang Liqiang's shot, the enemy's machine guns would have already started firing, and no matter how fast our brothers moved, some of them would have died here.

Just as Wang Liqiang was about to speak, a whooshing sound came from the sky. It was clearly the sound of artillery shells cutting through the air. The brothers didn't have time to talk at the moment and huddled tightly in their bunkers. The artillery must have received their message and started shelling the municipal building.

The municipal building in the provincial capital was very sturdy. Even a 105mm howitzer shell could only blast open the top two floors, not cause the entire building to collapse.

The Japanese understood this point, which is why they set up their main defensive position here.

"What is that?"

Just as the shelling subsided, Wang Liqiang stuck his head out to take a look and saw a strange car coming from the north in the distance.

"Those damn bastards."

The smoke was too thick for Wang Liqiang to see clearly, but from the perspective of the squad leader, he could see that those being escorted were all ordinary citizens from the provincial capital…
