The power of heavy artillery is very powerful. A shell can razor a yard to the ground, but the firing rate of heavy artillery is very slow and its accuracy is not as high as that of a mortar, which brings another problem.

In order to avoid accidental injury, the Japanese and puppet army attacked the enemy forces had to retreat to a position one hundred meters behind the bullet point at the beginning of the shelling.

This provides Fangshanlin with an excellent opportunity to take advantage of.

"Boom..." In the violent explosion, three more yards were razed to the ground by shells, and fireballs were wrapped in black smoke and rose from the ground, looking particularly scary.

In another yard more than 30 meters away, dozens of soldiers from the National Salvation Army were frightened.

Before he could react from the shock brought to them by the explosion, the commander of the company commander had already reached their ears.

"What are you doing when you are still standing there? They rushed forward with me, and immediately bypassed the shells and hid in the yard that was destroyed by the shells just now. The speed must be fast, don't be targeted by the Japanese next round of shells!"

Although the yard hit by the shells was razed to the ground, there were still a large number of ruins and house ruins one or two meters high, providing the National Salvation Army with a large number of shelter to hide.

More importantly, the shooting holes on the broken wall are still intact and ready to be used.

When dozens of soldiers from the National Salvation Army gathered together, there seemed to be a lot of people.

After quickly dispersing to several yards that were blown into ruins, they disappeared from the battlefield without a trace, just like hunters lurking in the mountains and forests, quietly waiting for their prey to take the bait.

"Make machine gun cover, let's continue to assault forward and kill!" Seeing that a large area of ​​yard ahead had been destroyed by heavy artillery, a Japanese squadron leader was very confident in ordering.

When siege, the infantry squadrons under their command had almost no casualties.

After the street fighting began, casualties of subordinates began to rise sharply.

When the heavy artillery brigade fired, more than half of a full infantry squadron had suffered casualties, and less than eighty subordinates were left to continue fighting.

These Japanese thoughts were the same as those of the squadron leader. Looking at the yard ahead that had been razed to the ground by heavy artillery, they felt that the National Salvation Army inside had been bombed to death.

At the beginning of the assault, he rushed forward with a gun, screaming, and looked like he was revenge.

After the attack began, the situation was indeed similar to their judgment.

There were many bodies of the National Rescue Army in the ruins. Many Japanese soldiers showed a glad expression when they saw this scene, thinking that the heavy artillery just now was too timely and achieved the effect.

The previous street fighting has already made them suffer.

Although the national rescue army has not many troops, they are familiar with the terrain. They are like foxes, and they shoot and change places, without giving everyone a chance to fight back.

A full-scale infantry squadron was beaten and more than half of the casualties were killed. As for the National Salvation Army killed in the street fighting, it was embarrassing to say it, and there were less than ten people in full battle.

After attacking the ruins that had just been blown up by heavy artillery, more than ten bodies of the National Savior Army had been found. If there was no support for heavy artillery, the troops would attack one yard at a time according to the previous style of fighting. If they wanted to kill these National Savior Army, the offensive troops would not be able to lose half of the squadron.

Now it only takes dozens or hundreds of heavy artillery shells to do it. For these Japanese infantry soldiers who have always been on the front line, they can definitely be described as lucky.

"Continue to move forward and strive to go directly to the center of the city under the cover of heavy artillery!" The squadron leader became more and more excited. He felt that he was revenge, and he felt that he was in sight of victory. He looked at the more and more ruins in front of him, looking forward to orders.

"Kill me..." The group of Japanese soldiers became more and more excited as they rushed forward, holding guns and screaming.

The vigilance also relaxed because of the corpse under his feet.

"Bao...dao..."

A string of gunfire that made them familiar and could not be more familiar to them shattered their dreams.

The Japanese who were rushing forward and attacking quickly had not reacted, but had already fallen to the five soldiers in the middle. It was not until this time that the remaining Japanese reacted.

"Enemy attacks, everyone hides!" The squadron leader of the Japanese team shouted in dismay. He did not expect that the National Salvation Army was hidden in the ruins.

"Sir, there were not many enemies who had attacked us just now. They should be the fish that escaped the net after the shelling!" A second lieutenant analyzed.

The squadron leader immediately agreed: "Although the power of heavy artillery is very high, the firing rate is very slow. It is not ruled out that some fish that escaped the net used the artillery gap to run from the yard where they were hiding to the yard where they were bombed by shells!"

"There are not many people on the other side, so they must be eaten."

"Otherwise, these national-savior troops would definitely move around in the ruins and hunt our troops in large numbers!"

"The first team attacked me head-on, and the second and third teams were roundabout and roundabout, and began to attack!"

Although more than half of the infantry squadron were injured or killed, the system was still there. As soon as the squadron leader ordered, the two squadron leaders took more than 20 subordinates to circumvent the target.

"Dadadada...Boomboo..."

Under the squadron leader's gaze, the detoured troops rushed forward more than 30 meters away, and gunfire and explosions rang around them.

The more than 20-person roundabout troops instantly fell down nearly half of the soldiers, which looked very miserable. Then he saw that more than a dozen soldiers left in the roundabout troops retreated in a panic, one by one, just like a stray dog.

"Baoba... da da... rumble..." Before the squadron leader could react from this raid, the same sound of fire was heard from another roundabout force.

Their experience was even more miserable. Not only were they attacked by clippers and grenades, but they also had two submachine guns, one left and one right, shot at them, attacking them from three sides, as if they were going to kill them all.

"Bageya Road, why are there so many enemies hidden in the ruins? We are fooled!" The squadron leader was both desperate and puzzled, staring at the battlefield and cursed inexplicably.

The only team leader was left beside him, and he was stunned. Faced with these enemies that suddenly appeared, he could not think of a reason to explain.

"It's over!" The desperate squadron leader spoke again.

Nearly twenty Japanese soldiers who were attacked from three sides were killed in the first round of firepower raids.

Although the remaining seven or eight Japanese lie on the ground at the first time, they were pressed to death by two crooked men, and they didn't even have the chance to raise their heads to fight back.

Two submachine gunmen and five or six riflemen took the opportunity to break out of the ruins, firing at them while assaulting, and in the blink of an eye, all the remaining Japanese on the battlefield were killed.

Seeing this scene, the squadron leader was scared.

As soon as more than a dozen subordinates who escaped from the other detour troops rushed to his side, he rushed to order: "Retreat, the National Salvation Army hidden in the ruins is definitely not a fish that misses the net. They are the main force of the National Salvation Army. We cannot rush forward any more!"

On the city wall defended by the Shouyang garrison, under the joint attack of mountain artillery and aircraft, the city wall here was blown up like the west of the city.

But no matter how the Japanese army exploded, the remaining seven unexposed castles were still intact.

The Japanese brigade captain didn't know this situation. He only believed what he saw in front of him and decided to let the troops rush again!

He just received the latest news from the brigade commander: the offensive forces in the west of the city were not going well, and it seemed that they were in big trouble in the city. If he could take the opportunity to break through the city defense fortifications and break into the city, he would definitely be able to steal the limelight from the offensive forces in the west of the city, and maybe he could still win the first achievement of this siege battle.

He did what he thought of, and the captain immediately sent out the only full infantry squadron left in his hand. With the Imperial Army of the two companies and the two broken infantry squadrons, he gathered more than 600 people to continue attacking the city.

"Captain, a new round of Japanese attacks has begun. There are more Japanese and puppet troops attacking us this time than before!" The observation whistle reported nervously.

The troops used eight gangs just now to block more than 500 Japanese and puppet troops' assault.

There are only seven burials left in the army. The Japanese and puppet troops launching the attack have more than 100 more people than before, and the proportion of the Japanese devils is also higher, which means that the pressure faced by the defending troops in the next battle will be very great, so he cannot help but be nervous.

"I'll take a look!" Huang Hu immediately touched the shooting hole.

He glanced outside the city and frowned, and the expression on his face became more and more serious.

His idea is similar to the observation post. Facing the stronger offensive troops, if the city defending troops want to repel them like before, they will definitely need stronger blocking firepower and more castles to participate in the battle.

At this time, the explosion sounded above the head became significantly weaker, and the Japanese planes in the sky seemed to stop attacking the city.

Huang Hu noticed this change keenly, and then his eyes lit up: "The artillery fire just now hit the Japanese army only threw down six aviation bombs, destroying at most six of our machine gun castles. The mountain cannons outside the city could not destroy the castles, which means that the castles we just exposed were not completely destroyed."

"Send someone to see the castle we just gave up. If it can still be used, put the light and heavy machine gun in immediately!"

Huang Hu's judgment was correct. After searching, three of the eight machine gun castles exposed just now were intact.

Adding to the seven unexposed castles means that Huang Hu can use ten castles in the next blocking battle.

Huang Hu was very satisfied with the results of the battle on the front of the city blocking battle. He decided to repel the Japanese army's attack and gave up the front of the city. So he took out all ten castles at once.

When the Japanese and puppet troops rushed to the outside of the city wall, light and heavy machine guns built in ten conges opened fire together!

The Japanese captain was confused.

He was already full of confidence in this attack, and as soon as the light and heavy machine guns in the ten castles fired, he realized that the hope of the attacking troops entering the county town was shattered.

He was very anxious to order: "The artillery covers the attacking troops and retreat immediately, and retreat immediately!"

The battle ended like this, and the captain couldn't help but not worry.

In order to fulfill the dream of winning the first prize in my heart, the captain has sent all the mobile troops that can be used to the battlefield.

If they suffered heavy casualties in this attack, even if they entered the county town with the cooperation of other troops, there would be no extra troops to continue fighting against the National Salvation Army.

Therefore, the troops attacking on the battlefield must not have too many casualties.

The captain's reaction was very fast in the battle, but the blocking firepower that Huang Hu prepared for him was too strong.

In the first round of firepower raid, fifty or sixty Japanese soldiers were killed. When the Japanese and puppet troops began to turn around and retreat, more than ten light and heavy machine guns did not stop shooting. The bullets fired were like they didn't have money, chasing the Japanese and puppet troops behind the butt.

When they withdraw from the effective range of light and heavy machine guns, the attacking troops of more than 600 people lost at least 200 people!

"Retreat, immediately give up the city wall and enter the street fighting fortifications, and prepare to fight street fighting with the Japanese and puppet troops!" In the castle, Huang Hu issued a retreat order without hesitation.

At the front command of the Japanese army outside the city, Major General Aso did not wait for the good news from Colonel Hamano.

The heavy artillery brigade has fired more than 300 shells, and the progress of the commando in the west of the city is still very slow, so it is not an exaggeration to describe it as having difficulty in walking.

After he couldn't wait, Major General Aso had to climb up to the west of the city with his guards and decided to go to the front line to command the battle.

"General, our opponent is too cunning. After the heavy artillery destroyed the yard and house where they were hiding, they actually took another path and hid in the ruins to continue fighting with us." Colonel Hamano came over and reported with a serious look on his face.

"We attacked several times just now, and each time we only attacked thirty or forty meters. The casualties of the troops were even greater than before!"

"When we transfer artillery to prepare to destroy the hiding position of the National Rescue Army at close range, they have disappeared without a trace!"

"Bageya Road, how could this happen?" The heavy artillery brigade was the unit that Major General Aso relied most. Now even the heavy artillery brigade could not break through the street fighting of the National Salvation Army. His mind was confused and he had no clue. He could only grit his teeth in front of his subordinates and curse.

Colonel Hamano hesitated for a while and suggested: "General, Huyi thinks that the chariot troops can break the deadlock."

"Although the National Salvation Army is cunning, the combat uses light weapons and will definitely not be able to destroy the chariots. If there are chariots to cover the infantry to attack forward, we can rely on the thick skin of the chariots to attack forward, and we can also actively launch counter-assaults on the National Salvation Army that sneaked into our sneering, and eliminate them!"

Major General Aso heard that it was really the case.

Look quickly at the battlefield and analyze the feasibility of dispatching combat chariot troops. As I look at it, a problem pops up in my mind.

"The county town has been blown into ruins by heavy artillery, and it is messy inside. Will there be any accidents when sending chariots into the city now?"

The chariot troops were the only hope that Colonel Hamano could take over the county seat.

If the brigade leader agrees, he still has hope of reaching the center of the city.

If the brigade leader disagreed, he would not even have a chance.

So in the face of the brigade commander's question, Colonel Hamano could only take a gamble, and looked at Major General Aso with a firm answer: "Please rest assured that after the chariot enters the city, it can not only protect the infantry and continue to assault forward, but also protect the safety of the chariots behind the chariots. There will definitely be no danger."

Colonel Hamano's answer instantly dispelled the brigade commander's concerns.

Major General Aso looked at the city for another half a minute and started to give orders: "That's it, I'll transfer two teams from the chariot troops into the city immediately, cover the siege troops in the west of the city to quickly reach the center of the city, and directly attack the command of the National Rescue Army."
