It is worth mentioning that the tank brigade of the 101st Division of the Japanese Army was handed over by Yang Jing even though it was in Yixianxia.

However, the chariot brigades of the 6th Division and the 106th Division maintained a complete organizational system.

At this time, the two brigades were divided into two, which made some tanks and chariots outside the south gate advance together.

"Oh!"

After seeing the devil's attack, Li Erwa didn't think too much, she raised her gun, pulled the trigger, and fired as a warning.

Immediately shouted loudly: "The devil is here! The little devil is here!"

Hearing the sound, the soldiers of the 1st Battalion who had rushed out of the air defense fortifications sped up one after another, and rushed up along the boarding road and the buffer zone of the bombed city wall.

And under the orders of their respective company commanders, quickly set up machine gun positions and grenadier positions.

Looking around, on the wilderness outside the city, under the guidance of tanks and chariots, there are countless little devils densely packed like waves.

This time, they were trapped in an isolated city with no way out. It was completely different from the time when they had a favorable terrain in the Yixian Gorge and confronted the little devils.

In Yiyixia, due to the limited terrain, the troops that the little devil can deploy at one time are limited, but now, there is no such restriction at all.

Many soldiers were a little scared and nervous when they saw the devil's momentum.

Especially the fighters of the Huben Regiment today, most of them are recruits newly recruited in Jinzhai County.

Fortunately, there were still many veterans in the Huben Regiment, and these veterans became the backbone and grassroots officers of the battalions and companies.

Driven and encouraged by the veterans, although the recruits were a little nervous and frightened, they did not collapse.

The headquarters of the Huben regiment is also the joint headquarters of the defenders.

After Yang Jing got the report, he immediately turned his head and shouted to Ma Tong who was beside him: "Ma Tong, tell Pa Er immediately and let him prepare for artillery support!"

"Yes!"

Raking his ears, he promised, and immediately picked up the phone and dialed it quickly.

Soon, the phone was connected, and Ma Tong immediately relayed the order of the group leader Yang Jing.

After Pa Er received the order, he immediately ordered the 1st to 4th companies, each with more than 50 doors, to go to the four doors without conscience.

As for the 5th company, they stayed in the city and manipulated the 30 Mi-type 150-caliber heavy artillery brought over in case of emergency.

Bi Yuntao, Fan Tietou, Yu Zongping and Zhou Zichen were all overjoyed after receiving the support from the unconscionable cannon.

They all cooperated with the artillery battalion of the Huben regiment, and immediately deployed these unscrupulous artillery quietly on the city wall.

Because of the coordinated cover of tanks and armored vehicles, the devils appeared unscrupulous and charged very fast.

Almost as soon as the defensive line was deployed, the devils entered their range.

"Fire! Hit! Brothers, give me a hard hit!"

Under the orders of their former enemy commanders, the defenders of the four gates opened fire one after another.

In an instant, the sound of gunfire resounded over the entire Huoqiu County, and the dense rain of bullets intertwined and formed a huge net of death, covering the heads of the oncoming little devils.

"what!"

"Ahhh!"

Caught off guard, the little devil suddenly screamed and fell down a large piece.

"Baga! Counterattack, counterattack!"

The devils who charged in front immediately turned their feet and moved towards the nearby tanks and armored vehicles.

And under the orders of the former enemy commanders, they immediately fired back.

The two sides quickly launched a fierce exchange of fire.

The devil's tanks also adjusted their shooting angles one after another, and they cut off their guns.

"boom!"

"Boom boom boom!"

37 caliber tank shells, dragging the hot tail flames, bombarded the top of the city one after another.

Immediately, dazzling red lights bloomed on the top of the city, and many defenders, even their guns, were blown out.

And at this moment, Huo Qiu's four doors, a total of more than 200 unscrupulous guns, plus some 60-caliber mortars, and 50-caliber grenade launchers, fired almost simultaneously.

"Tom!"

"Tom tom tom!"

More than 200 rounds of specially-made TNT explosives weighing 15 kilograms, as well as high-explosive stray bullets of 60 and 50 calibers, flew towards the devils to attack the crowd with a loud noise.

After landing, there was a violent explosion.

"boom!"

"Boom boom boom!"

At first, clusters of dazzling red lights suddenly rose from the ground and rushed straight into the sky, followed by a deafening explosion.

Huge flames and thick smoke immediately filled the crowd of devils.

Countless ghost soldiers were directly engulfed by the scorching shock wave.

All the explosives fell within a radius of 50 meters, and all the Japanese soldiers were blown to pieces, with limbs and arms flying around.

Some Devil tanks and armored vehicles also happened to be bombarded by unscrupulous artillery. The violent explosion shock wave immediately blew up the Devil tanks and armored vehicles. None of the tank soldiers and the surrounding Devil infantry escaped, and they all died. no deposit.

All kinds of tank parts were scattered and scattered in all directions with the huge shock wave of the explosion, causing secondary damage to the devil infantry farther away.

Immediately afterwards, the artillerymen of the Huben Regiment fired the second, third, and even fourth and fifth rounds without stopping.

Since the artillery position is set on the city wall more than two feet above the ground, it is condescending, and the range is much greater than that of setting the position on flat ground.

As a result, the range of the unconscionable cannon this time exceeded more than 350 meters, and some even reached a terrifying 400 meters.

"boom!"

"Boom boom boom!"

Violent explosions came and went, endlessly, as if they were about to tear apart the entire sky.

The blast wave that swept away immediately caused huge casualties to the Japanese attacking troops.

After five rounds of bombardment, the four infantry regiments invested by the 5st, 101th, and 6th divisions of the Japanese army, plus two tank and chariot brigades, totaling nearly 106 offensive troops, suffered more than one-third of the casualties. many.

Looking around, the area within 400 meters from the city wall of the county was almost full of corpses of little devils, and all kinds of stumps and arms.

In addition, there are huge terrifying craters one after another.

Especially the Devil's tanks, because they charged at the front of the team, nearly half of them were blown up.

If it wasn't for the surviving devil tank soldiers who saw that the situation was wrong, turned around and fled back in time, they would have to be reimbursed all of them!

Among them, although many of the casualties of the devil's attacking troops were caused by the firepower of light and heavy weapons of the defenders of the Huben Regiment and the Independent Regiment.

However, most of the casualties were actually caused by unconscionable artillery.

The unconscionable cannon exploded with a loud sound and tyrannical power. Almost every time the cannon fell, a huge crater with a depth of nearly one meter and a diameter of more than 10 meters would be blasted on the ground.

The shells fell within a radius of 50 meters, not to mention leaving alive, not even a complete corpse.

Some little devils were blown up to the point that they were blown to nothing, which invisibly caused a huge psychological shock to the devil's attacking troops.

Almost all the surviving devils felt deep fear in their hearts!

Coupled with the fact that the tanks and chariots turned around and fled, it became the last straw that overwhelmed these little devils.

So, the ghost infantrymen on the battlefield ignored the military orders, let alone the bloody and horrific corpses of their comrades who were blown up.

So they turned around and ran away one after another, and the offensive collapsed!

"Baga! Don't retreat!"

"Attack! Keep attacking for me!"

Some devil officers tried to prevent the soldiers from retreating, but their morale collapsed. No matter how much they yelled, it was of no avail. They even shot and killed some subordinates who took the lead in fleeing, but it was still of no avail.

At first, these little devils were all scared out of their wits.

Secondly, these little devils were all temporarily deaf due to the huge sound waves produced by the unscrupulous cannon explosion. They couldn't hear their chief's scolding at all, and even thought they were giving an order to move in.

As a result, other devil infantry ran faster instead!

In the end, these devil commanders had no choice but to give up the meaningless scolding, and followed the remaining troops back in a desperate manner.

In this attack, the 101st Division sent two infantry regiments, so the casualties of the 101st Division were almost the sum of the 6th Division and the 106th Division.

Of course, the loss of the tank and chariot brigade is not counted.

When the news was sent back to the headquarters of the Japanese army, Masaki Ito, the former commander-in-chief of the enemy, couldn't help being taken aback: "Nani? The attacking force was bombarded by the mysterious heavy artillery of the Chinese army?"

The brigade commander Masaburo Sato of the 101st Infantry Brigade paused with a serious face and said, "Yes, Your Excellency, Division Commander! The heavy weapons used by the enemy are extremely powerful and have caused huge losses to the attacking troops!"

Masaki Ito frowned, puzzled and said: "What heavy weapon? According to the news from the headquarters, the heavy artillery positions of the Chinese Army have ceased to exist under the bombing of the Imperial Army Air Force.

Even if the Chinese Army still has heavy howitzers, it is impossible to have so many, right? "

Masaburo Sato said: "This, I don't know very well about this."

Masaki Ito frowned, pondered for a moment, and then said: "Bring me the commander of the South Gate's offensive team. I want to find out the situation myself!"

"Hay!" Masaburo Sato immediately turned his head and shouted to the messenger next to him, "You, go to the forward position at the south gate immediately, and call Chief Haruhiro Kano to the headquarters!"

"Haye!"

The devil's messenger paused abruptly, then turned around and quickly ran out the door.

Not long after, Jixiong Kano was ordered to rush over in fear.

As soon as he entered the door, he took the initiative to bow his head and admit his mistake: "Your Excellency, Division Commander, I have let you down because of my humble and incompetent position. Please punish me!"

Ito Masaki waved his hand and said, "Kana-kun, you don't need to rush to blame yourself!

Tell me, what kind of heavy artillery has you been bombarded with? "

When Haruhiro Kano heard this, Masaki Ito, the head of the division, didn't mean to punish him, so he quickly nodded and replied: "Reply to your Excellency, the head of the division, according to my observations, the heavy artillery used by the China Army is by no means a conventional heavy howitzer.

Because the shells they fired were not, to be precise, shells, but more like explosives.

Also, their launch site should be right above the city wall, not outside the city.

Its range should not exceed 500 meters.

With such a short range, it is absolutely impossible to be a large-caliber heavy artillery, but a weapon that we have never encountered before! "

As we all know, a heavy artillery with a larger caliber generally has a correspondingly greater range. Taking the 150-caliber heavy artillery as an example, its effective range even exceeds the terrifying 10000 meters, which is 10 kilometers!

Masaburo Sato next to him seemed to have thought of something, and suddenly said, "Your Excellency, Commander! This should be a secret weapon invented by Yang Jing himself.

Although the power of this weapon is amazing, it has a fatal weakness, that is, their range is very limited, not even as good as ordinary grenades.

Moreover, this is not the first time that the Huben Regiment of the China Army has used this secret weapon. They had used it in the previous battle of Fuyang.

Even in the Battle of Songhu, the Huben Regiment of the Chinese Army already had a precedent for using it, but at that time the Huben Regiment did not have many such weapons, so it has not attracted the attention of the imperial army! "

Ito Masaki's face showed a look of surprise, and then his face became more gloomy.

Masaburo Sato suggested aloud: "Your Excellency, Commander, if you don't destroy the mysterious heavy artillery of the Huben Regiment of the Chinese Army, if you continue to attack rashly, the casualties of the imperial army will be too great!

Therefore, Beizhi believes that it is reasonable to find a way to destroy them first, and then make plans!

Commander, please think twice! "

Masaki Ito bowed his head and pondered for a while, gritted his teeth, his face distorted, and said somewhat unwillingly: "Immediately send a power to Commander Okamura, and ask him to dispatch the land-based air force again to provide us with tactical guidance!

Carry out air fire attacks on the Chenghuan positions of the Chinese Army and the entire Huoqiu County!

Help us destroy the mysterious heavy artillery of the Chinese Army!Take down this great threat for the attacking force! "

Chapter 317 Devil's Counterattack, Brimstone Bomb!

At this time, Shiro Inaba, the commander of the 6th Division, and Junrokuro Matsuura, the commander of the 106th Division, just walked in from the outside hand in hand.

After hearing Ito Masaki's order, Inaba Shiro immediately said: "Ito-kun, I think it will be difficult to deal a fatal blow to the Chinese army retreating in Huoqiu City with conventional bombing."

After a pause, Inaba Shiro added: "As you have seen in the previous bombing, the Imperial Army's field artillery and aviation almost plowed the Huoqiu County, carrying out a carpet bombing.

But in the end, it didn't achieve the effect we expected at all! "
