In the next ten minutes, nearly 30 mortars from a battalion of Lu Hai were setting up positions and carrying ammunition, because they were a roundabout task, in order to reduce the pressure on the artillery, most of the shells were flat to each soldier, so that they could carry as much ammunition as possible, and even Lu Hai's backpack had two mountain artillery shells in it.

At the same time, heavy machine guns also quietly formed positions, and soldiers from all units loaded and aimed at the Japanese army crowd below. Lu Hai looked at his watch and said, "Order the artillery to fire!" ”

"Yes!"

As soon as the words fell, the artillerymen on the side hurriedly put the shells in their hands into the barrels, and the mortar shells flew out in the crisp sound of discharge, and at the same time, several mountain guns were also roaring, and dozens of shells smashed into the crowd of Japanese soldiers.

"Boom!"

"Boom!"

......

In the violent explosion, many unprepared retreating Japanese troops were heavily bombarded, and these Japanese soldiers were all marching in a queue with a shell smashed into the crowd, the effect can be imagined!

Even a single mortar shell could kill four or five Japanese soldiers and inflict heavy damage on a few, and the first round of shelling directly caused huge casualties among nearly 100 Japanese troops.

In the panic, the Japanese army did not know how many Chinese troops were attacking, but from this round of fierce offensives, it was already a serious firepower blow, these are not the key, the most critical thing is that the Chinese army has hit Changde City, and the previous inexplicable retreat, the three wings did not block the inexplicable defeat overnight, and the encircled wing captain actually escaped with the squad, and the thing that abandoned the troops and fled for their lives was really not a few times in the Japanese army.

After being killed and wounded, a large number of Japanese soldiers poured into the city, only a small number of people still remember to resist, but under the round of bombardment, the so-called resistance is nothing more than a few more smashed corpses!

On the battlefield at the front, after an hour of fierce fighting, a wing of the Japanese army was eaten by three-quarters, and the remaining Japanese troops had already fled in a hurry towards the city of Changde.

For the rapid collapse of the Japanese army, on the other hand, the order of Isamu Yokoyama was uncertain, neither like it was going to attack nor retreat, so it was difficult for the commander of the Japanese army to judge, first of all, the will to resist was much weaker, and the offensive of the 58th Army was fierce, in this case, the three wings collapsed overnight and suffered heavy losses.

The order went down, and the three regiments of troops quickly attacked. Fly straight to Changde, and tomorrow morning you must send me into the city and strangle with the Japanese army, otherwise the plane will be in trouble! ”

"Yes!"

After the order was issued, the three battalions of the 32nd, 33rd, and 31st regiments, which hastily cleaned up the battlefield, launched an attack on the Changde defense line!

Outside Changde City, the attack continued, and the panic of the Japanese army finally gradually stopped, but there were three or four hundred more corpses in the field, and the Japanese army once thought that it was under a large-scale attack by the Chinese army, and they all transferred their troops to resist the "large-scale attack" of the Chinese army.

In such a situation, there were more and more troops in front of Lu Hai, and in the end, a wing of troops was directly mobilized, and on the ruins of the city wall, there were Japanese troops counterattacking everywhere, Lu Hai smiled and said: "Strengthen the firepower, the Japanese army is fooled!" ”

"What should I do next, in case the Japanese army attacks, we don't have enough people like us to stuff their teeth!" Sun Dongjian frowned.

"Don't worry, we are a copper pea, I'm afraid that they won't be able to eat and crush their teeth, if the Japanese army will attack, they will not retreat in such a hurry, the more troops we attract here, the weaker the rest of the Japanese defense line will be, and the offensive of the large army will be smoother!" Lu Hai said.

"Regiment commander, army commander call!" A communications soldier ran up and said.

Lu Hai picked up and said, "Commander, I'm Lu Hai!" ”

"How's going on there, the battle here is over!" Lu Daoyuan asked.

"We have successfully pinned down a wing of Japanese troops at the north gate, waiting for the various units to attack!"

"Very good, I will order the thirty-second regiment to attack their south gate quickly, you are still at the north gate, once you and the rest of the troops converge, continue to launch a fierce attack!" Lu Daoyuan deployed.

"Yes!"

"Order down, the thirty-second regiment will attack the south gate, the thirty-first regiment will attack the north gate, and the thirty-third regiment will temporarily be responsible for reinforcements as a reserve for the whole army!"

"Yes!"

"How's the attack of the New Tenth Division?"

"They are still fighting hard with the Japanese army in the direction of Shigui Village, where is there a wing of the devil and an armored brigade of nearly 5,000 people, although there is a breakthrough at present, but it is still very slow!" Xiao Benyuan said.

"The order goes down, the stone turtle village must be conquered after dawn, if the task cannot be completed, the commander will come and see you!"

"Yes!"

Saying that, Lu Daoyuan picked up the phone and shook his mouth and said: "Chief Xue, our department has attacked outside Changde City, and Zhen is preparing to attack Changde, please instruct the Fourth Army to speed up the march!" ”

"Great, I'll call them personally and ask them to speed up and prepare to launch an offensive against Changde!"

"Yes!"

"After this battle, I, Xue Yue, will personally ask for credit for you and the officers and men of the 58th Army on behalf of the Ninth War Zone!"

"Chief Xie Xue!"

"Order down, all artillery advance to the hill captured in front of you to suppress the Japanese army!"

"Yes!"

......

"The order goes down, the first battalion and the second battalion are moving closer to our army, and the third battalion is coming to stand by with three heavy guns!" Lu Hai ordered.

"Yes!"

Half an hour later, the various divisions had arrived at the attack position one after another, Lu Hai's three battalions of heavy troops had arrived, and Li Fan also rushed over with Sanmen Krupp.

Similarly, at the south gate, the shelling began again, and the houses on the broken city wall were once again subjected to fierce shelling, and in the midst of the fire, these shops, houses, and city walls were burned in the fierce bombardment, and the Japanese army was killed by the fierce shelling, and at the same time, Li Jian hurriedly said: "Order the troops to attack!" ”

"Yes!"

At this time, Lu Hai also resolutely ordered: "Order the troops to attack, but only fight!" ”

"Yes!"

Li Juan's battle here was already in full swing, one by one the assault team formed a straggler line to charge towards the Japanese army, the light and heavy machine guns on the periphery fired fiercely at the city wall, and under the round of shelling, the charging troops quickly rushed towards the city wall.

There are several circular breastworks at the forehead of the city wall, originally there were two Japanese machine guns and more than a dozen soldiers, but under this round of shelling, the Japanese army here has become a pile of scattered corpses, but the gate of Changde City is still closed, although this city gate has been tattered, but it can still block the soldiers' charge!

"Division commander, I request that the artillery fire be concentrated on the city wall, and the wall will be blown out of the gap to guide the large army to attack, otherwise we will easily be suppressed by the concentrated fire of the Japanese army when we launch an attack like this!" Li Jian said.

"Agreed!"

After the order was issued, seven or eight Krupp mountain guns were replaced with armor-piercing blasting shells to bombard the city walls on both sides of the city gate, only to hear an explosion, these city walls were gradually opened one by one, but these city walls are the crystallization of the command of the ancestors, whether it is thickness or solidity, it can become a permanent fortification, a few shells removed in addition to opening a few large openings did not blow up the city wall.

But fortunately, when the Japanese army attacked Changde before, it bombed the city wall of Changde, some places have collapsed, and some places have also been blown loose, in this case, our army's artillery bombardment again, under the fierce bombardment of nearly dozens of rounds, these city walls finally collapsed out of a huge opening of several zhang size.

Li Jian hurriedly ordered: "Shell from the gap and organize the troops to storm inside!" ”

"Yes!"

Heavy artillery, along with mountain artillery and mortars, began to bombard the depths of these gaps, and sure enough, the Japanese forces quickly blocked these gaps, and before they could set up the defensive line, they were attacked by a round of shells.

Finally survived, one by one the Chinese troops have already fought in, the fierce exchange of fire began at once, the various departments have begun to rush into the city, and began to unfold towards the city of Changde!

"Your Excellency Commander, the Chinese army is already attacking Changde City, and it is said that one has already entered Changde City!"

"Rice bucket! In one night, no three wings fought like this, telling them to use gas bombs to regain the lost positions for me, and if they couldn't drive these troops out at dawn, they would apologize! Yokoyama said angrily.

"Your Excellency, Commander, didn't you say that it would be unwise to pay a big price to hold Changde?" The chief of staff said boldly.

"Then this is too fast, what will I say when I go back? The Chinese army almost wiped out one of our wings in one night and directly attacked Changde? This will cause domestic shock! Isamu Yokoyama said.

"Got it!"

Just when Li Juan's fierce attack attracted a large number of Japanese troops, Lu Hai also resolutely ordered artillery bombardment of the city wall, and the first battalion and the second battalion took the lead in attacking the city as assault teams!

The artillery was powerful again, the dense shells were fired at the Japanese bunkers, the machine guns on the city wall fired fiercely, and the various departments also rushed to the front, for a time the guns sounded, shouting and killing, the city wall of the north gate was directly bombarded by the direct fire of the anti-aircraft guns, at the same time, the two hundred commandos led by Yang Decai have taken the lead in rushing into the city and the Japanese army to fight, after the distance was shortened, the soldiers opened fire one after another, and many soldiers also pulled grenades to throw them into the Japanese crowd, and the two sides relied on the walls and ruins in the city to carry out a fierce exchange of fire!

Under a series of bombardments, the city wall finally collapsed, and Lu Hai also decisively ordered: "Three battalions break through the gap!" ”

"Yes"! (To be continued.) )
