When the Japanese army was suppressed by artillery fire, Wan Baobang categorically ordered a full-scale offensive, with more than 8,000 people in four regiments attacking from the front, and two regiments launching a full-scale offensive from the other two sides, just letting go of one door, after all, their goal was to advance, not to completely annihilate and besiege the Japanese army.

When the attack was launched, Wan Baobang ordered the artillery to bombard the walls and forward positions of the Japanese defense with all their strength to provide fire support for the infantry, and the Japanese never dreamed that the artillery fire they were going to use to kill and wound the Chinese soldiers would one day fall on their heads, and what was even more hateful was that they had prepared so many sufficient shells.

The advance army had already broken through to a few tens of meters around the city wall, and the Japanese positions hastily formed outside the city had turned into smoke under rounds of artillery bombardment.

Even a few lucky ones were unable to stop a strong defensive line, and the rushing soldiers completely destroyed the Japanese outlying defensive positions with a burst of gunfire and explosions, and even the Japanese soldiers on the city wall suffered heavy casualties in the sound of artillery and gunfire.

Li Zuo led the attacking troops to break through the gap in the shells, but the Japanese did not give up their resistance, but instead built multiple breastworks in the city to resist the army's charge.

A massive street fight is about to begin!

Li Zuo, who had just broken into the city, collided with them, and the Japanese troops behind the breastwork in the front line fired fiercely, and the 92 heavy machine guns clicked, and one bullet after another fired, and several soldiers charging at the front were immediately hit by bullets, and Li Zuo and others were immediately suppressed in the corner.

"Grenades!"

One by one, the grenades were thrown out, and in the violent explosion, the Japanese soldiers on the chest wall of the front were either killed, or the smoke and dust from the grenades blocked their vision, and at this time, three or two soldiers rolled out suddenly, only to see that they were holding three or two grenades tied in their hands.

I saw that these soldiers suddenly pulled the grenade and threw it out, and in the violent explosion, a 92 heavy machine gun was overturned.

Just when these Japanese soldiers were about to rush to the breastwork of this Japanese soldier, a gunshot rang out from the tall building in the distance, and several soldiers fell to the ground immediately. ”

The two light machine gunners turned over sharply and quickly lay down on the ground, the muzzle of the gun was fired wildly at the tall building in the distance, and the dense rain of bullets killed several Japanese soldiers at the window, but there were still Japanese soldiers resisting the fire, and at the same time, the Japanese mortars also began to wield.

A series of shells exploded in the corner of the street, and one bullet after another attacked in the distance, at this moment, Li Zuo and others suddenly rushed out, and one grenade after another threw out vigorously, and then the light machine gunner fired fiercely at the Japanese position in the distance.

Under the suppression of firepower, a group of people charged quickly, and the grenade grenadiers also frantically suppressed the past, and the Japanese position suddenly exploded and roared.

At the same time, several Demomen opened fire and blew a hole in the houses on both sides and drilled in.

Just when the three Japanese machine guns were still trying their best to suppress the charging soldiers, several soldiers suddenly poked out from the windows of the side houses and condescendingly opened fire at the Japanese soldiers behind the breastwork below.

The gunfire rang out, and the two heavy machine guns were violently knocked to the ground, and at this moment, the charging soldiers blew up the position of the second line of the Japanese army with a grenade, and the infantry followed the charge, opening layer by layer to break through the Japanese defenses.

The same troops of the New 10th Division also broke through the gap and began to attack the Japanese troops in the city.

The resistance of the Japanese army was also extremely stubborn, and the tanks began to break through from the front, and under the sound of artillery and gunfire, a large number of soldiers who had just charged were killed, and the offensive was immediately blocked.

"Blew it up for Lao Tzu"! Chang Zhenhua, the head of the regiment, shouted.

"Yes!"

"Fire cover, separate infantry from tanks!"

A group of soldiers and machine gunners braved the tank fire, relying on the ruins to shoot fiercely at the Japanese tanks, bullets whizzing on the armor of the tanks, and the Japanese infantrymen who had just emerged from behind the tanks to replenish their guns were killed four or five, and the rest hurriedly drilled back.

At this moment, several soldiers rolled out with explosives bags in their hands, and crawled towards the Japanese tank opposite.

The bullets flew against the scalp, and in front of them were the Japanese tanks that rumbled over, and at this moment, several infantry pulled the explosives bags and threw them at the Japanese tanks on the opposite side.

Three explosive packets, one was thrown under the tank, one on the side, and one in front of the tank.

After doing this, several soldiers hurriedly turned around and drilled into the corner.

"Boom!"

There was only a deafening loud noise, and even the houses on both sides of the street were blown up and collapsed, and under such a huge force, the Japanese tanks and more than a dozen infantry behind were blown to pieces.

"Smash the house, break through from above"!

"Yes"!

Several soldiers lit the corner of the wall with explosives, only to hear a loud bang, and huge gaps were blown open in the corners, and some soldiers began to break through the gaps.

"Firepower attracts Japanese troops"!

The infantry on the street opened heavy fire on the Japanese troops behind the breastwork, and the Japanese naturally launched a counterattack, and at this moment, many firepower points suddenly drilled out on the houses on both sides and began to hit the Japanese troops behind the breastwork.

The Japanese firepower was attracted by the ground, ignoring the blows on the houses, and for a time suffered heavy casualties, and as many as three breastworks were broken in succession.

The same charging infantry pressed forward.

Seeing that the army was attacking the city one after another, Wan Baobang breathed a sigh of relief, the battle went so smoothly that even Wan Baobang did not think about it, according to the battle plan, it was originally planned to open the outer defense line of the Japanese army in one day, who knew that Lu Hai would end the command of the Japanese army, causing the Japanese defense line to collapse and have to retreat.

If it weren't for these artillery, the casualties of the infantry charge alone can be imagined, and if the advance rate was at this rate, it was conservatively estimated that the Japanese defenses would have been able to break through the Japanese defenses around midnight.

At this moment, a series of roars suddenly sounded in the sky in the distance, Wan Baobang's complexion suddenly changed greatly, and he said: "Hurry up and order, replace the heavy machine gun with armor-piercing shells, prepare to shoot in the air, notify the artillery to stop firing immediately, and move immediately!" ”

"Yes"!

The artillery, which had been roaring for nearly an hour, suddenly stopped shelling and began to move towards the mountains and forests, and at this time, Wan Baobang also saw the Japanese air force clearly.

Six bombers, eight Zero fighters roared over, and a series of violent explosions suddenly sounded on the mountain.

"Inform the troops, charge with all your might, rush into the city at all costs, and strangle with the Japanese army"!

"The two regiments on the flank, quickly retreated and moved to the mountains"!

"Yes"!

Under a series of attacks, the Japanese forward positions were almost torn apart layer by layer, but even so, the strength of the four regiments could not rush into the city, and at this time, Japanese fighters flew outside Fengxin and fired fiercely at the infantry below.

On such an open ground, in the face of the low-altitude strafing of the eight Japanese fighters without concealment, the casualties can be imagined!

Similarly, Li Zuo, who received the order, also knew that the situation was urgent, and ordered the attacking troops to charge in at all costs, and they were strangled with the Japanese troops.

The troops attacking the fortifications in front of them have attacked the Japanese defense line with all their might, and the distance between the two armies has advanced to only six or seven meters, and the grenade can hit the forward position of the Japanese army with a casual flick.

"On the bayonet, grenade"!

A series of grenades were thrown into the Japanese position, and in the roar of explosions, many infantry braved the rain of Japanese bullets and launched a direct charge.

The Japanese did not expect that these soldiers would dare to attack directly under such circumstances, although our soldiers suffered heavy casualties under their firepower, but after all, they were still charged, and a Japanese machine gunner was firing fiercely when a soldier rushed out of the side.

The blazing bayonets stabbed them through their necks from the side, and many Japanese soldiers were also stabbed to death by the bayonets of the soldiers who came up with a full range of bullets when they fired.

Similarly, the Japanese troops in the rear saw that the two armies in front were intertwined and chaotic and could no longer open fire, so they also picked up their bayonets and began to charge, and what was originally an urban siege suddenly turned into a large-scale urban bayonet battle.

In the same way, the troops attacking from the houses also continued to blow up the houses and attack the Japanese troops from the side, and the casualties of the Japanese troops were extremely heavy under such blows.

When several Japanese fighters flew up, they circled and flew out, and in such a situation, they could not strafe at all, so they had to fly towards the periphery.

The troops of the two regiments attacking on the flank had to abandon their original positions and move to the periphery under the threat of Japanese aircraft, and similarly, the two regiments of Yang Hongyuan and Su Maowu outside the city were fiercely strafed by Japanese planes, and suffered extremely heavy casualties.

Under such circumstances, the soldiers relied on the ruins, city walls, craters, and even set up heavy machine guns on the flat ground, and used armor-piercing shells to fiercely return fire at the Japanese planes that strafed at low altitudes above.

Just as they were firing back, the Japanese bombers, bombing the artillery on the mountain, followed closely behind the heads of the two regiments and dropped a series of aerial bombs.

The whole outside of Fengxin City was filled with the roar of explosions, in which many soldiers were blown to pieces, and the machine gunners switched to anti-aircraft tripods and fired fiercely at the planes on the top of the hill.

Under such density, the two fighters fired by the Japanese at low altitude were caught on fire and fell and exploded, and the bombers finally finished dropping their aerial bombs, and the Japanese fighters did not dare to strafe at low altitudes, but they were also suppressed by the dense machine gun fire on the ground at high altitude, and had to retreat.

Seeing this, Wan Baobang immediately ordered: "Full attack!" Artillery attack on the deep area of Fengxincheng"! (To be continued.) )
