The devils dug defensive trenches in the rear and set up artillery positions. Ishimoto Yinzo gave the order to attack, and soon the devil soldiers of the two squadrons pulled out the skirmish line and launched an attack on the ruined Yecheng ahead.

"Pass me an order, adjust the shooting of each battery, and lock the artillery positions of the devils. After blocking the first wave of the devils' attack, immediately take away the artillery positions of the devils!"

There are as many as 22 forts on the main coastline of Yecheng, of which 17 are facing the direction of Yecheng, and 5 are 120mm coastal defense guns facing the sea.

Eleven of these 17 artillery pieces are 11mm cannon howitzers, coupled with advanced bottom discharge bombs, the longest range is as high as 120 kilometers,

Although the artillery position set up by the devils is 13 kilometers away, it is also completely within the effective range of the cannon howitzer.

In addition, these 17 turrets belong to the anti-slope position relative to the Japanese fleet on the sea, so there is no need to worry about the bombardment of the Japanese naval guns.

The other 6 guns rushing in the direction of Yecheng are near-anti-aircraft guns, which are used to deal with the devil army units rushing forward.

The five coastal defense guns are now in a silent state and are not activated, because the significance of their existence is to prevent the Japanese army from forcibly landing on the beach from the front of the fortress, rather than attacking the Japanese fleet on the sea.

Because of the rush of time, Yang Fan had no way to set up coastal defense artillery on this coastal highland, and the five 5mm cannon howitzers had very limited damage to the Japanese fleet.

What's more, the coastline of the fortress is equipped with 3 torpedo launchers. If the existence of the coastal defense guns is exposed in advance, the Little Devils fleet will never approach the coastline again!

"Brothers! Wait until the ghost soldiers start crossing the river, don't worry!"

The first company commander, He Haimin Mao, was behind the trench. Through the observation hole, he saw that the Japanese soldiers had arrived on the other side of the river, only a short distance of 150 meters away from them, but He Haimin still ordered the troops to stand still.

Because although the company has only 200 people, it has 30 heavy machine guns, 50 light machine guns, 20 rocket launchers, 15 mortars, and standard M1 Garand semi-automatic rifles, Bobosha submachine guns, Mauser pistol.

There is no need to worry about the lack of firepower and the frontal charge of the devil infantry. To put it bluntly, even a large group of devil soldiers will not be able to charge within 30 meters of the trench if they press it all at once!

There are eight reinforced concrete bunkers behind the trenches, which contain not only heavy machine guns, but also anti-aircraft guns. Even if the devils have a large number of tanks to open the way, they will be beaten to the point of crying.

The ghost soldiers of the two squadrons braved their bodies and came to the bank of the river. Instead of wading directly across the river in a hurry, they carefully dug simple foxholes in the field on the other side of the river.

After gaining a firm foothold, a small group of devil soldiers continued to push forward with cats on their bodies, and they came to the river in a short while.

Since many native Burmese natives served as guides for the Japanese army, the devil soldiers knew that the small river in front of Yecheng was not deep, and the deepest water level reached the waist, so the devil commander did not send engineers to build the pontoon bridge first, but let the first The troops waded directly across the river.

The ghost soldiers walked into the river cautiously, pointed their guns ahead, waded across the river step by step, and soon reached the middle of the river.

"There are all in one row, don't use heavy machine guns! Try to shoot with rifles, fire immediately! Kill!"

Originally, he wanted to kill a few more devils in the first wave, but seeing that the devil army was so cautious and only sent fifty or sixty devils to lead the battle, He Haimin could only harvest this wave first.

He Haimin was the first to pull the trigger, and after a bang, he saw the flying bullet head directly into the head of the devil squad leader, and then went out from the other side.

At the same moment, the skull of the devil captain was lifted off, and half of his head was directly turned into fragments that shot around.

With a splash, the lifeless body fell straight into the water and sank to the bottom of the river.

Chapter 792

"Go to hell, little devil!"

"Kill it!"

The sound of gunfire was an order. He Haimin had just killed the leader of the devil squad, and other soldiers also pulled the trigger one after another.

In order not to expose too much heavy firepower, but also to save bullets, the first round of harvesting only used 4 light machine guns and more than 40 rifles for precise bursts!

But even so, the officers and soldiers of the Huben Army, who have been proficient in marksmanship for a long time, have never missed a bullet, and every bullet can destroy an enemy, not to mention that there are 4 light machine guns firing wildly.

The ghost soldiers who were wading across the river were shot several times before they could make an effective resistance, and were shot dead on the spot, and immediately turned into dead bodies and fell down in the crystal clear river.

Streams of bright red blood flowed out without money, dyeing the river red in a short while, which corresponded to the words "blood flows into a river".

"Baga! There are so many Chinese troops!"

Kita Minoru, the leader of the Devil Squadron in the foxhole behind the cat, was dumbfounded. He knew that there would be a fierce battle when he encountered resistance, and he would definitely not win without a fight like the previous few small towns and villages

However, Kita Minoru really didn't expect that the Chinese army's firepower was so fierce that they killed more than 50 imperial soldiers in the middle of the river in the blink of an eye, without giving the slightest chance to react and fight back! .

"Shoot! Toji change!"

Dazed for a moment, Kita Minoru drew out his command knife and roared loudly.

Immediately afterwards, the devil soldiers around Beitian Minor pulled the triggers one after another, and more than a hundred 20 guns and more than [-] light and heavy machine guns shot out flames almost at the same time, and the bullets rained towards the opposite bank.

Puff puff puff, the bullets crossed the river and penetrated into the outer wall of the trench with civil structure. For a while, the bullets were flying, and the dust was flying, and the sight of bullets was everywhere.

However, this doesn't help much.

Having fought against devils for many years, He Haimin and others knew very well that the tactics of devils in battle are actually very rigid. Basically, it is such a routine:

The combat process is usually to attack at night before dawn, first use aircraft to bomb and then use heavy artillery, and then charge out under the cover of tanks!

After the infantry rushed, the artillery bombarded, and then the infantry rushed again, and so on, until the end of the battle!

So after eating this wave of soldiers, He Haimin and others neatly harvested this wave, leaving only a dozen people in charge of observation and vigilance. up.

"idiot!"

Standing on the high ground, Shi Ben Yinsan naturally saw the battle ahead clearly at the first moment, and immediately shouted at the messenger: "Fire immediately! Blast all the Chinese soldiers to pieces!"

Since the border between Thailand and Myanmar is a large area of ​​mountainous jungles with different roads, it is difficult for the devils to transport tanks and heavy artillery, but mortar infantry artillery and mountain artillery can be disassembled and carried over.

Following Shi Benyin's three orders, the devil artillery who had been preparing for a long time loaded their shells, pulled the gun ropes, and started shelling the Chinese Tiger Army's position on the other side of the river!

"Fire immediately! Hit me hard!"

At this moment, Yang Yangzheng also gave the shelling order, 11 cannon howitzers roared, spouting dazzling flames, and high-explosive howitzers roared towards the devils' position.

"Nani? Why are there so many cannons there? And firing from such a distance? Are these Huaxia artillerymen a bunch of idiots?"

Ishimoto Tonzan was observing the effect of the shelling, but just as his artillery fired the first round of shelling, before the shells landed, a flash of fire flashed in his retina.

Shi Benyinsan hurriedly raised his binoculars and looked towards the sea, only to see clouds of black gunpowder smoke rising from the seaside hills directly in front of Yecheng.

Taking a closer look, there were more than a dozen black gun barrels on the green hillside, which were obviously hidden forts.

However, Ishimoto Yinsan was extremely puzzled by how it was possible to set up a large number of forts on the hard seaside rock slope with only a shallow weathered layer, and how could these artillery be able to hit his own artillery positions at a distance of more than ten kilometers?

However, after more than ten and 20 seconds, Shi Benyinsan soon realized that he was too young to know anything about the power and range of the Huaxia Huben Army's artillery.

Boom boom boom, 11 shells flew over 13 kilometers, and then fell on the Devils artillery position with an extremely beautiful parabola, making a loud noise.

The powerful explosion force sent countless fragments crazily flying around, setting off violent waves of air. In an instant, deep craters were blasted out, tearing the surrounding devil artillery into pieces and flying into the air.

The Devil's mortar, mountain artillery, and infantry artillery at the center of the explosion were twisted into twists, blown into pieces, and disassembled into parts.

"Baga! Run!"

"Not good! Shelling attack, spread out!"

Although the explosive power of the 120mm howitzer shells is not weak, it is not a star and a half worse than the 150mm heavy artillery. After the 11 shells fell to the ground and exploded, they did not cause a devastating blow to the Devil Artillery.

Seeing that the situation was not good, the surviving devil artillerymen fled around holding mortars, infantry artillery and mountain artillery!

The first round of shelling killed a few devil artillery and killed twenty or thirty devil artillerymen. The effect of the second round was weakened by more than half, and more than a dozen devil artillerymen who reacted slowly were killed!

Seeing this, Yang Yangzheng immediately shouted: "Damn, these devil artillerymen run fast! Give me an order to stop the shelling immediately, readjust the shooting elements, aim at the devil infantry camp and give me a few rounds of hard fighting!"

Soon, the artillery adjusted the new shooting elements, and then a new round of shelling roared out. This round of shelling targeted the Japanese division headquarters camp 14 kilometers away.

Boom, boom, boom, the shells fell to the ground and blossomed, blasting out billowing smoke, and the blast of death metal storm severely harvested a wave of devils' heads.

"Baga! Shelling!"

"Quickly lie on the ground, don't run around!"

"Help!"

"Mom, I don't want to die!"

The unprepared devil infantry was blown to pieces, and more than 40 devil soldiers were killed on the spot after a round of shelling, and the surviving devil soldiers were all scared out of their wits, like frightened horses, running around with their heads in their arms. !

Not long after the first round of bombardment, the second round of bombardment roared in, blowing up the camp where the devils were stationed again and blowing up clouds of black smoke.

"Bageya Road! How can Huaxia artillery have such a long range? Are they all cannon howitzers?"

Ishimoto Yin-san's face became extremely ugly. Although the observation site was far away from the bombardment area, the Chinese army built so many forts with great power and long range on the hills by the sea in the distance. This is definitely bad news for the Japanese attacking troops.

Chapter 793

"Mr. Shiben! We have met a real formidable enemy! The seaside highland over there seems to have been built into a fortress by the Chinese Tiger Army, and it is difficult to break through from the front with conventional offensive methods!"

Takeuchi Juntoku's face was also extremely ugly, and he said through gritted teeth: "We need more powerful artillery support, and we also need the support of the chariot brigade. Otherwise, how many imperial warriors will be lost in this small Ye city?" life!"

"idiot!"

Shi Benyin was so angry that he blew his beard and stared at his eyes. He is not a fool, how could he not see the situation in front of him clearly, but this is undoubtedly a shame.

Before encountering endless harassment, destruction, attacks and assassinations by the Chinese special forces in the mountain jungle, the 55th Division lost a brigade in a few days.

After finally getting out of the frightening jungle of death, Tomo Ishimoto originally thought that he could enter the take-off mode and be able to sweep and push all the way, but the reality hit his face directly, and a small seaside town abruptly blocked the way.

"Immediately request fire support from the Bangkok Air Force Headquarters and the Task Force Headquarters! The 143rd Wing will outflank from the flanks, and then attack from both sides after the shelling is over!"

Ishimoto Yinsan thought about it, and now he can only attack in this way, because if he wants to get a tank brigade, he must build a simple road from Thailand to Myanmar, or wait for the combined fleet to transport the tank troops.

No matter which method is used, it is not a matter of one or two days, and it will take five or six days at the latest.

Obviously, Ishimoto Yinsan could not wait outside Yecheng for five or six days, so he could only continue to gnaw hard bones and try to outflank.

Since the fortress that threatens itself is located on the reverse slope of the Japanese naval task force, this round of fire support not only requires the fleet to continue shelling Yecheng, but also requires the air force to bombard the fortress at close range!

"Hay!"

The devil's communication staff officer hurriedly took orders.

After several rounds of shelling, seeing that the Devils had scattered like birds and beasts and hid in the woods and grasslands, it was difficult to find the bombing target for a while, so Yang Yangzheng could only order to stop the shelling.

Then I waited for a long time, but still did not see the devils coming out to move. Yang Yang said with a smile, "Damn it! These little devils have stopped moving again, and they are probably calling for fire support again!"

Xia Hongxiang, the second company commander, nodded with a smile and said: "I think back when we were on the Songhu battlefield, the little devils were rampant, bullying the national army with poor equipment and weak firepower, and charging desperately after every shelling, regardless of casualties.

When we meet us now, these devils are getting better and better at fighting, and the more timid they are! "

Yang Yangzheng smiled and said: "Are you a bunch of stupid pigs when you're devils? Under the powerful automatic firepower net, no matter how many flesh and blood bodies charge, they can only turn into corpses in the end!

Order all the troops to move into the anti-battery holes, the devil's planes and naval guns are coming soon! "

After a pause, Yang Yangzheng immediately ordered the forts to remove their artillery and re-disguise them to prevent the Devils' air force from diving and bombing.

Sure enough, as Yang Yangzheng predicted, not long after, the devil fleet cruising in the offshore began to bombard Yecheng again.

Boom boom boom, a series of heavy bombs fell on the city of Yecheng, on the position of the Huben army, and blew up the seaside town that was already in ruins to pieces.

Clouds of black gunpowder smoke shot straight into the sky, filled the ground with smoke and dust, and the whole town turned into a gray world.

Not long after the shelling ended, there was a hum of a motor in the distant sky.

This time, the Devil bombers did not drop bombs at high altitudes like last time, but flew extremely aggressively at low altitudes, and continued to dive bomb almost close to the ground after reaching the hilly highlands by the sea.

Although there are more than a dozen anti-aircraft machine guns and several anti-aircraft guns in the fortress, it is obvious that these anti-aircraft weapons have extremely limited effects, and it is better to use them all to deal with the Japanese troops on the ground.

Therefore, for the sake of safety and saving bullets, Yang Yangzheng ordered the troops not to fight back against the air, and all cats avoided bombing inside the extremely strong fortress.

Due to the excellent camouflage, although the pilot of the Devil bomber was very arrogant and dived and bombed at low altitude, it was difficult to identify the specific location of the fort. After circling a few times, he could only bomb the suspected location.

Crackling, a burst of violent bombing, the little devil not only dropped heavy aerial bombs, but also dropped a large number of sulfur bombs, which caused a raging fire, and the poisonous sulfur smoke filled the air everywhere.

"Baga! Hateful Chinese tiger army, let me see how you survive this time!"

From the telescope, Ishimoto Yinsan clearly saw that the entire hill was burning, and the billowing smoke completely enveloped the several kilometers long hill.

A vicious smile appeared on Shi Benyinsan's face. In his opinion, in such a strong explosion and burning, the whole mountain would be burnt red, and the Chinese defenders inside the mountain would definitely peel off their skins even if they did not die.

What's more, there are pervasive poisonous smoke and thick smoke. Once these things get into the inside of the fortress, they can completely choke everyone inside to death!

At this time, the 143rd Wing of Devils had already circled into the woods 5 kilometers upstream of the small river in Yecheng.

When the shelling and bombing were over, the devil infantry rushed out of the woods carrying more than a dozen wooden bridges made of trees, and soon built a dozen small wooden bridges on the river.

Immediately afterwards, more than 3000 devil soldiers quickly passed through the small river and entered the wilderness northeast of Yecheng.

However, just when these devil soldiers thought they had successfully crossed the river and were about to form a two-sided attack on Yecheng, a series of explosions sounded.

After a while, no less than 50 devil soldiers were either killed or injured by the bombing, and the surviving devils around suddenly dared not move around.

"Baga! There are minefields!"

The face of Bai Chuansi, the captain of the Devils Alliance, turned dark all of a sudden. Just by intuition, he knew that the minefields laid by the Huaxia Huben Army were very large, and the number of mines planted would definitely not be small.

Because there is no fortification within a few kilometers in front of you, not even a barbed wire fence, it is obvious that the Huaxia Huben Army wants to use minefields to restrict the Japanese army from breaking through from this direction.

"Let the engineering company come to clear the mines immediately! Clear a safe passage as quickly as possible!"
