Although Luo Yue led the soldiers to the distance of more than 100 meters to the edge of Tianjin City and was not discovered by the soldiers guarding the city, the gate of the West City was closed, becoming the biggest obstacle to the attack on Tianjin.

However, the troops were actually prepared for this. Before attacking, the two rocket launchers in a row specially replaced with the more powerful PF98 10mm rocket launcher. This type of weapon system is a single-soldier anti-tank weapon designed and developed by my country. It is used to attack tanks, armored vehicles, self-propelled artillery, annihilate and suppress exposed biological forces and firearms, destroy enemy field hard fortifications and firepower, etc. The rockets used include armor-breaking rockets and multi-purpose rockets. As individual weapons, they are very powerful.

The bazooka team immediately set up a bazooka on the ground and fired two multi-purpose rockets at the gate of the west gate of Tianjin City.

"Boom" two loud "boom" sounds, and the gate of the west gate of Tianjin City was immediately shattered by two rockets. Before the smoke of gunpowder was dissipated, Luo Yue led the entire platoon of soldiers toward the explosion gate.

Only then did the defenders of the West Gate react. There were 30 Japanese troops guarding the West Gate, divided into two shifts and took turns to guard the city tower. At this time, the defenders on the city tower set up rifles at the battlement entrance and fired randomly under the city. The Japanese troops who were resting in the city's off-duty room hurried out and rushed to the city gate to intercept.

However, it was dark at this time, and the smoke was still there, and the smoke was foggy and could not see anything clearly. However, the rushing troops were equipped with night vision instruments and were not affected at all. Luo Yue took the lead, raising his gun and shooting, and shot several short shots in succession, knocking down three or four Japanese soldiers. The other soldiers around him also ran and shot. Therefore, when the soldiers ran to the city gate, they shot all the Japanese soldiers.

Although the Japanese soldiers on the city tower fired at this time, they could not aim in the darkness, and the soldiers advanced too fast, so they found nothing and no soldier was shot.

After entering the city gate, Luo Yue immediately ordered the first and second squads to attack the city tower from the stairs on both sides of the city gate to destroy the Japanese army on the city tower. He and the third squad were stationed in the city gate tunnel, waiting for the subsequent troops to arrive.

After assigning the mission, Luo Yue and several soldiers from Squad 3 immediately came to the edge of the city gate hole and raised their guns vertically up and shot them. Squad 1 and Squad 2 rushed out of the city gate hole under their cover, separated from each other, and attacked the city tower along the stone stairs.

At this time, there were only a dozen Japanese soldiers guarding the city tower, and their weapons and assembly were not comparable to the crossing army that was equivalent to the cheating. The two sides were not fighting at the same level at all. Therefore, after only more than a minute of fierce gun battle, all the Japanese soldiers were shot dead. The crossing army completely occupied the west gate of Tiangui City. The entire process took more than two minutes to end the battle. The soldiers in a row completed the battle very neatly and wiped out the enemy army, but they had no injuries themselves, which was indeed worthy of the title of the sharp knife platoon.

Qiu Yahui led other troops into Tianjin City from the west gate and immediately ordered three land combat platoons to take action separately. The second and third platoons of his company went to attack the south gate and north gate of Tianjin City, and each sent a mortar squad to support them in fire. Luo Yue's first platoon was assigned to attack the Tianjin Bell and Drum Tower.

The Bell and Drum Tower is the center of the entire Tianjin city and the tallest building in Tianjin city. It is also the office of the Tianjin Provisional Government established by the Eight-Nation Alliance. It occupied the Bell and Drum Tower, which not only could overlook the entire Tianjin city, but also included the entire Tianjin city within its range, and could completely attack the command center of the Eight-Nation Alliance. Therefore, the crossing army must occupy the Bell and Drum Tower as soon as possible. Qiu Yahui not only equipped a mortar squad for one row, but also sent a machine gun squad to strengthen the firepower of the one row.

After all the troops took action, except for the company, there were only two machine gun platoons and two warrior cars left at Ximen, and then they hovered in the sky to monitor the entire Tianjin battlefield. Qiu Yahui ordered the two machine gun platoons to be arranged on the city wall, set up machine gun guards, and the two warrior cars were parked side by side in the door opening and guarding the West Gate.

Luo Yue led his troops to advance along Ximen Street towards the Bell and Drum Tower, but Tianjin City was not loud at first, and fierce battles occurred at Ximen, so the sound naturally reached the Bell and Drum Tower.

Tianjin Bell and Drum Tower is actually a city in the city, square, three stories high, and the floor at the bottom is a square platform made of bricks. It is wide at the bottom and narrow at the top. There are arched door holes on all sides, passing through four streets, east, west, south and north. On this stone platform, two-story towers were built. The first floor enshrined various statues of gods. The second floor is hung with a large iron bell weighing 300 kilograms, but there is no drum, so it is called the Drum Tower, which is actually a bell tower. Because the Bell and Drum Tower is located in the center of Tianjin City and occupying an area, the Tianjin Provisional Government established by the Eight-Nation Alliance set up the office here, but it only occupied the first floor, and the big bell on the second floor is still retained.

Among the three temporary government members of the Tianjin Provisional Government established by the Eight-Nation Alliance, Japan's Colonel Nobusuke Aoki followed Fukushima Anmasa to attack Tianjin, while the British Colonel Ball had a personal matter and rested in the British Concession outside the city tonight, not in Tianjin. Therefore, in Tianjin now, only Russian Colonel Wagak is on duty.

At this time, Colonel Wogack had already fallen asleep, but the explosion of the crossing army using a rocket launcher to blast the west gate of Tianjin City woke him up. The sleepy colonel didn't know what was going on, so a Japanese soldier broke open the door of the colonel's bedroom in anger and reported the emergency military situation to Wogack. But after the two of them had rumbling, no one understood what was the other party? Because the translator had not arrived yet.

However, at this time, the fierce gunfire from the Bell Tower Tower had already understood everything, and Tianjin City was attacked by the enemy. Colonel Wogak was immediately sleepy and got up immediately to dress. At the same time, he sent people to the concession outside the city to seek help. When Colonel Wogak arrived on the bell and drum tower, the army had already launched a fierce exchange of fire with the Japanese army guarding the bell and drum tower.

There were about 60 Japanese soldiers guarding the Bell and Drum Tower. Although they were hasty, the Japanese soldiers were well-trained, and more than ten of them were veterans who participated in the Sino-Japanese War of 1894. In addition, there were also stone platforms for bell and Drum Tower. Therefore, half of the Japanese soldiers were arranged on the stone platforms and half in the arched doorways under the stone platforms to resist the attack of the crossing army. The crossing army relied on the houses and houses on both sides of Ximen Street as bunkers to fight back. The two sides were only more than 100 meters apart.

Although the Japanese army had the advantage in numbers and occupied the high ground, the firepower of the crossing army was much more fierce, and it was easy to occupy anything. However, because it was fighting in the city, because it was the famous bell and drum tower, the crossing army was somewhat cautious and afraid of damaging this ancient building, so they did not dare to use heavy firepower weapons such as mortars and rocket launchers easily. Therefore, although the firepower was slightly superior, they could not suppress the defenders in a short period of time.

After a few minutes of fierce fighting, although more than ten Japanese soldiers were injured and killed, five soldiers in the crossing army were injured, and two of them were seriously injured and could no longer fight. Luo Yue was also a little anxious. At this time, Liu Tiedao said: "Platform leader, use mortars, or use rocket launchers, or it would be difficult for us to take down the bell and drum tower."

Luo Yue thought for a while and said, "Let's try it with a grenade first. If the grenade doesn't work, then consider using mortars and rocket launchers. You can cover me."

It turned out that Luo Yue considered that the power of grenades was much more powerful than that of mortars and rocket launchers, but their lethality was not bad, and they also caused much damage to the bell and drum towers. Therefore, using grenades was better than using mortars and rocket launchers.

Liu Tie turned his head and shouted: "Machine gun team, firepower suppression."

Two squads 95 used machine gun teams to immediately launch violent strafing at the bell and drum team to suppress the enemy troops in the bell and drum tower. Luo Yue also hung a grenade launcher on his Type 95 rifle, first aiming at the arched door opening and fired a grenade, and then fired another one on the stone platform.

"Boom" two explosions. In the doorway, the Japanese troops on the stone platform were injured and killed. The most unlucky one was Colonel Wogak. He had just arrived on the stone platform and the second grenade fell beside him. He was blown up to death and died of a disaster. The main general was blown to death, and the remaining Japanese soldiers on the stone platform suddenly became in chaos, and their resistance naturally declined.

Although he didn't know that his second grenade hit Dacai, he could still feel the great decline in resistance of the Yu Army. Of course, Luo Yue knew that his two grenades must have achieved good results. Now Luo Yue has accumulated considerable practical experience and will not miss this opportunity. He immediately fired another grenade into the door hole, and then under the cover of the machine gun, he led a squad of soldiers to the bell and drum tower at full speed.

After running a distance of more than 100 meters, it only took more than ten seconds. Although the three grenades failed to eliminate all the Japanese soldiers in the Bell and Drum Tower, most of the Japanese soldiers were injured and killed. Because they were in the city gate, the Japanese army was almost dead after taking two grenades. Therefore, Luo Yue and others were not blocked and successfully rushed into the door. Then they followed the stone stairs and attacked the stone platform.

Just halfway through the climb, gunshots came from the stone stairs. A bullet almost flew over Luo Yue's cheeks, and even the smell of saltpeter could be smelled. Luo Yue didn't have time to be glad, so he immediately raised his gun and shot for a short shot. He heard a scream outside the stone stairs, followed by the sound of the human body falling to the ground.
