"Whoosh whoosh..."

A series of bombs roared down from under the bomber's belly.

In the center of the city, huge clusters of bright lights erupted. Then the bright lights faded, and mushroom clouds tens of meters high rose into the sky.

Streets were destroyed, houses were set on fire, and the flames and smoke increased more and more, as if several giant torches were suddenly lit in the city, clearly reflecting the surrounding damage.

"Boom boom boom..."

Compared with the bombs dropped by bombers, the caliber of the shells fired by the field artillery companies against various types of artillery pieces was much smaller. However, there were a large number of artillery pieces. The shells were fired one after another, extending from the North City to the South City, turning the entire city from

Plowed it thoroughly, inside and out, front to back.

Artillery plows the ground!

Takahashi Tagaji demonstrated this tactic vividly.

Looking at the clusters of fire and the mushroom clouds one after another, the Japanese commanders were in a good mood and could not help but tighten their command knives.

In the east, no force can stop the ferocious artillery fire of the Japanese Empire.

Under such a blow, all the iron will will turn into powder.

The attacking Japanese troops had quietly moved to the outside of the city wall amidst the artillery fire. Takahashi Tagaji did not intend to use the ancient tactic of encircling three and missing one. The Japanese troops surrounded Gaoping City from all sides.

The north and east are the main directions of attack. In these two directions, the Japanese army invested two squadrons of troops at one time, while the south and west were much smaller.

The Japanese soldiers clenched their weapons and waited for the moment when the artillery fire stopped.

The trembling of the earth was clearly transmitted to the body of every Japanese soldier. Feeling the familiar shaking in the internal organs, the hearts of the Japanese soldiers were filled with anticipation.

At the beginning of the Suzheng Campaign, encouraged by the Sanguang policy, the Japanese soldiers thought that this time they could kill as much as they wanted and enjoy themselves.

But they never thought about the abominable thing, that person actually implemented the policy of fortifying the wall and clearing the country. In the past ten days, in addition to the biting cold, they didn't even see a single Chinese citizen, they had no food, and they couldn't find the flower girl.

The Japanese soldiers have a lot of resentment in their hearts, and a perverted revenge mentality is constantly growing. As long as they are given the opportunity, they will spread all their resentment on the Chinese people and Chinese soldiers.

Now, such an opportunity lies before thousands of Japanese.

As long as the city wall in front is breached and the resisting troops and soldiers are eliminated, everything in the fantasy will be at your fingertips.

Listening to the explosions one after another in Gaoping City, some Japanese with extremely twisted psychology even hoped that the artillery troops would cease fire now. They were worried about the abominable troops entering the city. Those people had already died in the artillery fire. The violence in their hearts

There is nowhere to vent your anger.

"Prepare!"

"Prepare!"

The artillery fire gradually became sparse, and the Japanese commanders began to shout among the soldiers.

After hearing the order, the Japanese soldiers began to check the weapons and equipment they carried, and everyone's hearts began to beat quickly and rhythmically.

At a certain moment, the deafening sound of artillery suddenly stopped, and the buzzing in the ears of the Japanese soldiers continued.

At the same time, the sound of falling bricks and crackling firewood on the city wall could also be heard clearly.

"Qiang! Qiang! Qiang!"

Japanese commanders from all directions pulled out their command swords from their waists one after another, pointing the tip of the sword diagonally at the city wall 300 meters away.

"attack!"

A howl resounded in the ears of all the attacking Japanese.

Hearing this shout like a drake, the Japanese soldiers all stood up with their guns in hand. Under the leadership of the sergeant and other team commanders, they swarmed toward the city gate like ants.

After advancing 50 meters and 100 meters, there is still no sign of the soldier on the dilapidated city wall.

The Japanese soldiers were very happy and moved quickly.

.

.

Currently defending the north gate are brothers from the Second Regiment and Third Company.

Of course, the north wall was not as deserted as the little devils had seen. There were pairs of slightly nervous eyes, and machine guns one after another were hidden in places where the little devils could not see.

The Japanese army's indiscriminate bombing just now, except for destroying some positions built by the three companies, caused almost negligible casualties to the soldiers.

Thanks to the strong city walls built by our ancestors, nearly 200 brothers from the third company were all hiding in the city gate cave during the shelling just now.

They held guns, smoked cigarettes, and enjoyed a wonderful fireworks show.

After the bombardment ended, the soldiers, led by the company commander, quietly entered the position and cleared away the gravel and rubble on the position. Machine guns and mortars were ready.

"Don't shoot, don't shoot!"

The third company commander whispered on the battlefield,

"Wait until the little devil gets close to the city wall and blow him up with a grenade, that son of a bitch!"

Except for the light and heavy machine gunners, the soldiers put down their guns one after another and placed grenades in front of them.

"Boom boom..."

In order to ensure nothing goes wrong, the Japanese grenade squad would fire a few shells at suspicious locations on the city wall every time it advanced a certain distance.

The flying gravel, rubble and shrapnel hit the soldiers' helmets, causing the helmets to jingle, and the soldiers' heads were shaken and dizzy.

It was the last 100 meters and there was still no movement at the top of the city.

The little devils were both nervous and excited!

They were nervous because they were worried that the current situation was just the calm before the storm; they were excited because there was only the last 100 meters left, and they would be able to rush to the city wall in a dozen seconds.

"Long live!!!"

In the last fifty meters, the little devils shouted in unison, approaching the city gate with bow-legged legs and sprinting at a speed of 100 meters.

"Huhuhu..."

More than one hundred and fifty little Japs rushed to the city wall without any danger, and everyone's faces were filled with joy and anticipation of entering the city.

"Explosive pack, explosive pack, hurry up! Hurry up!!"

The Japanese second lieutenant who led the team shouted anxiously.

They had already expected that the city gate would be sealed!

The 20th Division had also participated in the battle for the city before. After several times, the Japanese soldiers would prepare explosive packets to blast the city gate holes and city walls before attacking.

Two Japanese soldiers holding explosive bags hurriedly rushed out of the team, but before they could run along the city wall to the city gate, a dark object fell in front of the two Japanese soldiers' feet, and there was a sprinkling of smoke on one end of the thing.

With green smoke.

Hundreds of grenades fell almost vertically to the base of the city wall. Some hit the Japanese soldiers' helmets, and some fell into their arms.

"Baga! Grenade! Get down!"

The Japanese second lieutenant yelled and rolled and crawled into the city gate hole.

The next second, an explosion occurred, and the dozens of meters long city wall roots were dyed bright red by flesh and blood.

"Ah...Mom..."

"Hmm..."

More than 20 little Japs were immediately turned into a pile of rotten flesh. A dozen wounded soldiers with missing arms, legs, and rotten stomachs lay on the ground and howled miserably.

"Da da da……"

"Boom boom boom..."

The Japanese heavy machine gun squad and grenade squad who were responsible for covering the attacking troops in the distance finally saw the figures on the city wall, and bullets and artillery shells were fired at the city wall for a while.

"Keep throwing grenades and kill them!"

The third company commander calmly issued the order.

The city gate hole has been blocked by sandbags. Even if the little devil can blast it, it won't be able to get through it in one or two attempts.

Therefore, the third company commander is not in a hurry at the moment. The little Japs will only be bombed if they hide under the city wall.

And because the two sides were almost intertwined, the threat of Japanese heavy artillery in the distance was eliminated.

More than 100 little Japs were trapped under the city wall, and the third company commander was prepared to make sure they never come back!

"Hey..."

The soldiers hid behind the female wall, pulled the string of the grenade, and threw it out of the city wall with their backhand.

"Boom boom boom..."

Although the little devils at their feet tried their best to hide, grenade fragments were flying all over the sky, and the casualties were increasing uncontrollably.

"Bagaya Road, blast, quick, quick, quick!!!"

Until this time, the Japanese second lieutenant still had no intention of giving up the attack.

In his opinion, as long as the city gate can be blown open, the imperial army's follow-up offensive troops will continue to rush in. By then, he will have made his first contribution, and his promotion and salary increase will be just around the corner.

Two explosive packets were stuffed into the city gate, and then the Japanese soldiers opened the fuses on them.
