……

The sound of shelling in the south of the city was extremely loud. It was like a signal for war. The Eighth Route Army in the east and north of the city also launched an attack at this moment.

Major General Yamasho Taro, who had already patrolled the east of the city, changed his expression greatly when he heard the sound of the artillery.

He has been in the army for more than 30 years, and he will not fail to hear the sound of heavy artillery with a caliber of more than mm.

He immediately concluded: The main attack direction of the Eighth Route is in the south of the city!

"Order the reserve team to immediately reinforce the south of the city."

As soon as the order was given, the correspondent immediately rushed down the city wall to convey the order.

Of course, Yamasho Taro would not completely ignore the Eight Routes that had already launched an attack in the east of the city.He watched the enemies outside the city through the binoculars.

If you have dealt with the Eighth Route Army a lot, you will understand that the Eighth Route Army is cunning and cunning.

Although I don't know where the Eighth Route Army got the cannons, the heavy artillery in the south of the city may also be a strategy played by the enemy to attack the west.

Generally speaking, heavy artillery must be placed in the most likely position to break through.The Central Army and the Jinsui Army in China cannot do anything to make a sound.

But the cunning Eighth Route Army is not without that possibility. The best among them are best at breaking the inertial thinking and giving people a surprise.

This is also the reason why he did not mobilize the defenders in the east of the city, but mobilized the reserve team at a distance.

Balu can't be given too many opportunities.

The bullets from the heavy machine gun swept across the top of the city wall, splashing smoke, dust and rubble everywhere.

The accompanying personnel couldn't stand it anymore, and persuaded: "General, this place is too dangerous."

"Dangerous? Tell me where it's not dangerous." Yamasho Taro reprimanded him as he put down his binoculars.

If the city cannot be defended, any place in the city will be dangerous.

Through observation, he could see it.Even if the east of the city is not the main attack direction of the Eighth Route, it is still a very important place.

The eight offensive routes are all in uniform uniforms, equipped with a large number of heavy machine guns, and the firepower configuration is very organized. They are definitely well-trained regular troops of the Eighth Route Army.

In comparison, the Eighth Route Army in the north of the city was much inferior. It looked like peasants who had dropped their hoes and picked up their guns to fight.

"General, the sound of heavy artillery has stopped."

Yamasho Taro snorted contemptuously: "Tubachi Road is still very poor. Even if they have two cannons, they won't have too many shells, and they are reluctant to use them easily. It's just that, it's not worth worrying about."

He has always looked down on the equipment of the Eighth Route Army.

I feel that those people are dressed in shabby clothes and carry all kinds of rotten guns. At best, they are a beggar's army.

If it weren't for their generals being very wise, they wisely chose to occupy the mountains.

I'm afraid it was wiped out by the imperial army long ago, so there is no such thing as today.

The accompanying personnel echoed and said: "Even if the Tuba Road has cannons, it does not have qualified artillery.

Just fired a measly twenty shells, and I think most of them missed.

The brave and fearless soldiers of the imperial army will surely block the attack of Tuba Road. "

What I said reached the heart of Taro Yamasho. The failures in the past few days and the massive attack by the Eight Route Army made many people feel depressed and fearful.

He needs to boost morale: "Yo Xi, Miyazawa is right, the Eight Routes just take advantage of the large number of people.

As long as they persist until reinforcements from the imperial army arrive, they will be doomed to be wiped out. "

"Hi."

The general's words still had a very good effect, and most of the entourage regained their composure.

While speaking, the gunfire rang out again.

Infantry guns, mortars, Yamasho Taro was a little stunned. Is this the counterattack of his own artillery, or the fire suppression of the enemy artillery?
In the past, he certainly wouldn't have such a problem, and he took it for granted that it was his own artillery.

But today, he really didn't dare to blindly affirm it.

The communication soldier who finished the call below ran up and shouted: "General, the south of the city was bombarded twice by the enemy, and Major Ono reported that they suffered heavy losses.

The enemy will rush up after the gunfire stops, and they need immediate support, immediate support! "

Shan Shengtaro, who had just praised Haikou, turned into a liver-colored face at this moment, and immediately roared: "Everyone go to the south of the city immediately."

He once led the Fourth Brigade and participated in several siege battles.He still has a little experience in attacking cities.

Large-caliber howitzers, of course, have a strong destructive power against the city walls, and they have a strong suppression of the defending army.

But the Eighth Route Army will not have many shells, at most it is a kind of consumption.

If you want to break down the city wall with this, it has to be said to be a dream.

As the third largest city in Shanxi, Yangquan has a major transportation hub, and its solid city walls are capable of blocking one or two large-caliber grenades.

The real killers are mortars and infantry artillery.

There are only 80 defenders in the south of the city, and there are no more than five light and heavy machine guns combined.

The firepower point is suppressed by the enemy's shelling, so it will be a matter of time before the city gate is breached.

Or too little power in hand, too many enemies.

When His Majesty the Major General drove there, the Eighth Route Army was already marching towards the city wall under the cover of artillery fire.

The barbed wire fence was cut with a big knife, and the ladder was put on the trench and covered with planks to form a passage.

Their goal is only one point - the city gate.

The attack went very smoothly. Li Yunlong, who was at the front command post, shouted happily: "Haha, God has eyes. The first squad leader, I aimed and hit me, and hit that hole."

The howitzer fired rounds, and Li Yunlong didn't know the effect of the other rounds, but this one hit.

Through the half-stretched and broken city wall, you can see the wooden pillars supported behind the city gate, as well as various sundries piled up.

Near the gate of the city is the weakest part of the entire city wall. If this shell falls on other places, it may not be able to have such an effect.

When luck comes, it can't be stopped.

At this time, the suppression of artillery fire from the Eight Routes had ceased.

When Takahashi Ichiro got up from the ground, he saw a scene that almost knocked him out of his body.

The Eighth Route Army, which pulled out the skirmisher front, had already rushed to a position not far from the city.

A shell flew from a distance, and finally landed on the side of the city gate.

The sergeant on the top of the city wall poked his head out and shouted in horror: "The gate of the city has been broken, and the Eighth Route Army is about to rush in."

Even amidst the sound of artillery fire from the Eight Routes, Takahashi already had a certain amount of mental preparation and knew that it would be difficult to hold on.

But they still didn't expect that the opponent's first attack would break down the city gate.

Takahashi didn't have time to think about it, and shouted: "Follow me, machine gunner!"

Immediately ran to the gate of the city, the city defense would be breached, the city would fall, but not now.

He had to block it, buy time for the general to make a decision, and buy time for the friendly forces to retreat.

At the same time, Li Yunlong sent a cavalry correspondent: "Tell them, Nancheng has been breached, don't let that little devil's major general run away!"

The devil is defeated, who will kill a devil major general?
