The system sent me to fight

"Snapped!"

"Clap clap clap!"

Intensive gunshots rang out.

This time, both the Devil Grenadier and the machine gunner were temporarily blocked by the flames and thick smoke from the explosion of the grenades and grenades, unable to provide timely and effective fire support and suppression.

Under such circumstances, the soldiers of the 1st company can pour out more bullets calmly.

The devil, who was already killed and injured by the grenade, was hit by dense bullets that almost destroyed him

They were shot one after another, and they fell sideways in rows and pieces.

Because the soldiers of the 1st company were on the city wall as high as two battles, they were condescending.

Some little devils on the ground subconsciously lay down on the ground, which actually increased their targets.

Let their entire backs be in the shooting range of the defenders.

Many devils were shot in the back, and their bodies were directly pierced. After lying on the ground and twitching a few times, they became silent.

Under the tenacious and intensive firepower of the defenders, this devil's tentative attack finally ended in failure.

When retreating, they were killed and wounded by the extended firepower of the defenders.

There were more than 500 little devils, but in the end, less than 150 people fled back in haste like bereaved dogs.

Not long after the battle broke out, Bi Yuntao withdrew from the tower and returned to the battalion command post.

Not long after the sound of gunfire stopped, Lu Fang, the deputy commander who stayed on the tower to observe the battle, hurried down the tower, came to the command post with an excited face, and said to Bi Yuntao who was smoking: "Battle Commander, the devil has already Retreat!"

Bi Yuntao stubbed out the cigarette butt and threw it away, stood up and said: "Order the 1st company, pay attention to the anti-cannon, the little devil has suffered a big loss, and the artillery bombardment will definitely happen next!

Except for the necessary observers, all the others have withdrawn from the city wall! "

"Yes!" Lu Fang agreed abruptly, walked to the desk immediately, picked up the phone, and conveyed Bi Yuntao's order.

In several other directions, the battles that took place were much the same.

The three divisions of the Japanese army all sent a small group of troops to conduct a tentative attack in order to lure the defenders to expose their firepower.It is easy to use artillery firepower to carry out precise strikes and clear them at fixed points, clearing obstacles for large-scale infantry attacks and reducing casualties.

However, without exception, they were all easily defeated by the battle-tested defenders.

Even the east and north gates guarded by the independent regiment, because of Yang Jing's tactical guidance, easily defeated the oncoming little devils.

The three old devils, Masaki Ito, Shiro Inaba, and Junrokuro Matsuura, were all furious when the inducement failed.

Immediately ordered their artillery wing and began a large-scale artillery strike.

The south gate of the county seat.

Li Erwa was one of the sentinels who ventured to stay on the city wall to observe the enemy's situation.

At this time, he was lying on the head of the south gate, holding his breath, not even daring to take a breath.

Although they were far apart, Li Erwa held up her binoculars and through the battlements, she could still clearly see the field artillery positions of the 101st Division of the Japanese Army.

When Li Erwa saw the gun barrels of those giant steel beasts rising slowly, the blood all over her body froze in an instant.

Although Li Erwa has been in the army for less than half a year, she has experienced the lethality of the devil's cannon more than once.

Although the 75-caliber field artillery and the 105-caliber howitzer are far from being comparable to the 150-caliber heavy artillery.

But if there was a cannonball that fell on his side impartially, it could also blow him to pieces, not even a whole arm remained.

However, no matter how scared she was, Li Erwa had to grit her teeth and hold on!

As a soldier, especially a soldier of the glorious army of the Huben Regiment, how could Li Erwa run away on the battlefield?

"Father! Mother! Grandpa, grandma! You have spirits in the sky, you must keep the second child safe, otherwise our old Li family will have no successors!"

"hurricane!"

Just as Li Erwa was praying to herself, a whistling sound that tore through the air suddenly came from the sky.

The whistling sound was long and deep, and it could be judged from the sound that the shell would never land beside her, and Li Erwa couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief.

Sure enough, about a few seconds later, there was a "boom" on the field about 200 meters away from the South Gate Tower, and a huge cloud of smoke and dust rose.

However, Li Erwa's heart quickly rose to her throat again, because he knew very well that this was just a test firing by the little devil, and it was used by the artillery group to correct the shooting parameters!

Sure enough, after a few more simple test shots, the sky above Huoqiu County was filled with the sound of continuous shrieking shells.

"hurricane!"

"Hurricane Hurricane!"

Moreover, the screaming sound of the shells this time was short and sharp, just like screaming directly in Li Erwa's ear.

Li Erwa immediately lay down on the torn quilt in front of her, closed her eyes tightly at the same time, and left everything to fate and to heaven.

"boom!"

"Boom boom boom!"

The next moment, Li Erwa's ears suddenly burst into a series of huge booming sounds. The sound of explosions rolled in like a wave, continuously, and it was about to tear Li Erwa's eardrums in an instant, making his brain It hurts so much I'm about to suffocate!

Almost at the same time, the city wall under Li Erwa shook violently!

It's like an earthquake is coming!

The little devil's shells are like those that don't cost money, one after another, row after row.

"Buzz!"

"Buzz!"

And at this moment, there was another burst of huge roar of fighter jet engines from the eastern sky.

It's a pity that Li Erwa was in the continuous sound of explosions, and his ears had already been temporarily deaf from the devil's shelling, so he couldn't hear the roar of the devil's fighter plane at all.

Nearly 50 Devil bombers and fighter jets, after reaching the sky above Huoqiu County, directly swooped down towards the ground like a goshawk fighting a rabbit.

The dense rain of bullets and aerial bombs continued to pour down.

The entire city of Huoqiu County was immediately bombed with gunpowder smoke and flames everywhere.

Most of the civilian houses in the city were civil structures, which could not withstand the bombing of the devil's shells and aerial bombs, and a large area collapsed in an instant.

All kinds of masonry, rubble, and wooden fragments flew in all directions with the shock wave generated by the explosion, and scattered all over the surrounding streets and alleys.

Among them, the inflatable artillery positions and inflatable car positions of the Huben Regiment once again became the key targets of the little devils' bombing and swooping and strafing.

"boom!"

"Boom boom boom!"

The little devil's joint ground-air bombing continued, and shells and aerial bombs of various specifications fell continuously as if they didn't need money.

Yang Jing stayed in the underground headquarters, feeling that the whole earth was constantly shaking, and the chandelier above his head was also constantly swinging from side to side.

All kinds of dust "swish, swish, swish" kept falling from the ceiling, scattering everyone's heads and faces, and after a while, they became like groundhogs, in a state of embarrassment.

However, Yang Jing turned a blind eye to this, and after slamming out the cigarette in his mouth, he picked up the telephone on the desk and dialed it quickly.

The phone was connected quickly, and a voice rang out: "Tuan Zuo, what's your order?"

Yang Jing said straight to the point on the other end of the phone: "I reckon, after this wave of ground-air joint bombing, the little devils should attack aggressively!

Your artillery battalion must provide artillery support at any time, and at the same time, pay attention to guarding against the devil's air attack! "

Bi Yuntao patted his chest and assured: "Don't worry, group, our artillery battalion has a full five companies. In addition to providing artillery support in four directions at the same time, there is also an extra fifth company as a backup!"

"The task of your artillery battalion is mainly to prevent the devils from attacking with artillery fire, to support our 1st battalion, 2nd battalion, and the battalions of the independent regiment to stick to their positions. It doesn't matter if the firepower is dispersed." After a pause, Yang Jing continued. : "Divide our Flying Thunder Cannon into four parts, and divide them equally among the defenders.

Tell them that when the devils shelled, they hid the flying thunder cannons.

When the devils charge intensively, pull out the flying thunder cannon and blast the little devils hard! "

He raked his ears and said loudly: "Yes! I understand! If there is nothing else, I will arrange it first!"

Yang Jing said: "Well, good, pay attention to safety!"

After speaking, Yang Jing hung up the phone.

The reason why Yang Jing made such an arrangement was that he didn't put the little devils into the city to fight in the street at the beginning. The devils had too many troops. In the face of absolute strength, any subtle strategy would be pale and powerless.

Secondly, they didn't want the little devils to find out that they were digging tunnels.

The screen is pulled to the Japanese joint command headquarters.

Shiro Inaba and Junrokuro Matsuura have already rushed to their division headquarters to take command, so there are only Masaki Ito and his two brigade heads in the joint headquarters at this time, as well as a few brigade chiefs of staff. .

As for his chief of staff, and the combat staff of the division and regiment headquarters, Yang Jing had already taken over them as early as Yixianxia.

At this time, Masaki Ito, Shozaburo Sato, and Nobori Miyamoto were also discussing how to attack.

Major General Masaburo Sato, the brigade commander of the 101st Brigade, suggested to Masaki Ito: "Your Excellency, Division Commander, according to reports from the 6th Division and the 106th Division, their tentative attacks also ended in failure!

The Huben Regiment of the Chinese Army is really difficult to deal with!Cunning big drops!

It seems that we can only take advantage of the overall strength to take a strong attack! "

Miyamoto, head of the 102nd Brigade, said: "Our military strength is 10 times that of the Chinese Army, and now the 13th Division of the Imperial Army has successfully captured Gushi and Shangcheng, and is heading towards Guangshan, Huangchuan, etc. Deep movement.

The retreat and reinforcements of the Huben Regiment and the Independent Regiment of the New Fourth Army have been cut off!Even if we are sleepy, we can still keep them alive! "

Ito Masaki's face was solemn, he gritted his molars and said slowly, "The Huben Regiment of the Chinese Army brought a great shame to my 101st Division. We must use a hearty victory to avenge the shame and rebuild the army's prestige. !

What's more, the ultimate goal set by the base camp for us is not only to eliminate the Huben regiment, but also to defeat the Chinese army in the northern foothills of the Dabie Mountains, capture Xinyang, and go south along the Ping-Han Railway to capture Wuhan!

Therefore, we can't delay here for too long, otherwise it may affect the overall strategy of the Imperial Army! "

After saying this, Ito Masaki showed a cold smile, and continued: "Notify the 6th Division and the 106th Division that the imperial army's joint ground-air bombing will be launched immediately after the bombing is over!

After breaking through the Chenghuan defense line of the Chinese Army, the Huben Regiment of the Chinese Army and the Independent Regiment of the New Fourth Army must be completely wiped out.

I want to use the blood and lives of these Chinese soldiers to comfort the spirits of the chief of staff in heaven!

However, Yang Jing is extremely cunning!

Remind all participating troops to pay attention to one thing, we have enough troops and firepower superiority, since we are attacking, we must concentrate our absolute superior forces to launch a full-scale onslaught!Do not give the enemy any respite!

Take Huoqiu County with the most violent attack and the fastest speed, wipe out all the Chinese troops in the city, and let no one escape! "

"Hay!" Masaburo Sato suddenly nodded, then turned around and picked up the phone, and conveyed Masaki Ito's order.

Following the death of Nishisan Fukutaro, Sato Shozaburo temporarily served as Ito Masaki's chief of staff.

Chapter 316 Unconscionable guns show their power and frustrate the enemy!

In order to defeat Huoqiu County's defenses in one fell swoop, the devil's combined ground-air bombing lasted for more than half an hour.

In a trance, Li Erwa didn't know how long it had passed. In his feeling, it seemed that it was only a moment, and it seemed that a hundred years had passed.

Finally, Li Erwa found that the city wall beneath her was no longer shaking as violently as before.

"Is the combined ground-air bombing of the little devil finally over?"

Li Erwa got up in a daze, the gunpowder smoke covered the sky and the sun, not only blocked his sight, but the pungent smell choked him almost out of breath!

After a long while, the gunpowder smoke that shrouded the top of the city gradually dissipated.

Li Erwa was finally able to barely see the scene within two to 300 meters around her.

But I saw that the city wall less than 50 meters away from his right had been blasted into a gap more than 10 meters long.

The city wall made of rammed earth and masonry has collapsed, forming a huge gentle slope inside and outside the city wall.

Looking back, Li Erwa could no longer see a complete building. Wherever he looked, there were ruins and walls, looming in the thin gunpowder smoke.

On the streets, various building wreckage can be seen almost everywhere.

However, although the devil's joint ground-air bombing seems to be very powerful, the Huben Regiment and the Independent Regiment dug air-defense fortifications in the houses and buildings in the city in advance.

Except for some soldiers who were injured by the shock, there were not too many casualties.

As soon as the bombing was over, the fighters of the Huben Regiment and the Independent Regiment were like groundhogs, scrambling to get out of the air defense fortifications.

At this time, the gunpowder smoke covering the ground has become very light, so Li Erwa's sight can also see farther and farther.

But I saw that about 2000 meters away from the city, groups of devil infantry were already holding bayonet-mounted [-]-style rifles, and under the guidance of rows of tanks and chariots, they rolled over towards the south gate.

The devil's intention is obvious, that is to concentrate its forces and attack the city in one go.

Apart from the south gate, there were also a large number of devils swarming in the wilderness outside the other three gates, swarming here in order to win the first victory in breaking the city.
