406 Wiping out the Zong Consortium (2/2)

…

That night, right after the sun set, the Razor Sharp Company led an attack into the interior of Shichuan Village.

During the day, the enemies in the town seemed to have received orders to take back the lost ground. But in urban warfare, it was always the attackers who were at a disadvantage. The route the enemy had chosen to break through was exactly where Second Company and Third Company were stationed.

The two company commanders were already filled with anger, and the more they thought about it, the more pent-up they got. Now that the enemy had come knocking on their door, they would definitely strike at them mercilessly.

When they broke through the enemy lines, the machine gun positions they captured still had heavy machine guns and ammunition that could be used. However, Zhang Xiaoman and the others from Razor Sharp Company did not take them because they were already carrying a lot of weight.

Now that all of these firearms and ammunition were in the hands of Second Company and Third Company, they wanted nothing more than to rain down a hail of bullets on the enemy. Several walls even collapsed from the heavy gunfire.

Li Haichen was roaring with rage from behind a machine gun as he fired at the enemy ruthlessly.

The defenders of Shichuan Village made several waves of attacks, but they were unable to break through the defensive line Second Company and Third Company had set up. They were forced to retreat.

After the second day of surprise attacks ended, the Razor Sharp Company led the rest of the troops to advance five kilometers into Shichuan Village. Only a small portion of the Zong Consortium's troops were still putting up a stubborn resistance in some buildings in the north.

This battle made the defenders of Shichuan Village extremely sullen as they had thought their firepower could hold back the enemy. In this urban warfare, there were more than a dozen emplacements with sufficient firepower. There were also many soldiers hidden within buildings, ready to snipe any of the invaders.

But after two days, they suddenly felt like their defensive positions had been constructed out of paper. They simply could not hold back Fortress 178's soldiers.

Sometimes, they would even get hit by a grenade before they saw any signs of the enemy!

It was too frustrating!

According to their initial plans, they would be laying waste to the entire Forward Strike Battalion of Fortress 178 here in Shichuan Village. But in the end, all it took was three companies from the Forward Strike Battalion to capture Shichuan Village.

In fact, if this hadn't been urban combat, the effects of the grenades going off in an open space would not have caused as much destruction as it did.

But now, the dark houses that were supposed to act as a defensive barrier for the garrison ended up turning into targets for Ren Xiaosu to attack.

The next night, Battalion Commander Zhou Yinglong felt a little numb when Zhang Xiaoman gave him a sitrep. Zhou Yinglong had asked Commander Zhang Jinglin for more time to complete their mission. Only by having more time could they comfortably capture Shichuan Village in battle.

As such, the armored brigade to the rear temporarily slowed their advance. But as soon as he bought some time for the Forward Strike Battalion, Zhang Xiaoman, who was at the front lines, actually told him they might be able to take Shichuan Village by the next day?
