Chapter 348: The Battle of Nanguan County (3)
Captain, Captain!! ”
When the devil soldiers saw that the captain was killed by a shell, they shouted in horror and ran over.
The captain of the devil brigade and several other devil officers and soldiers died very miserably just now, and the devil soldiers ran over in a daze, looking at the several bloody corpses on the ground, they couldn't identify the corpses at all.
"Tom tom!"
"Boom, boom!"
105-mm artillery shells and 75-mm rocket artillery salvos, and the ghost soldiers who charged up, doubting their lives by the shells, collapsed and screamed.
"Bagaya Road, the artillery fire of the soldiers in China is too fierce......"
The little devil is also flesh and blood, he was killed and wounded by artillery fire, the enemy could not withstand the fierce artillery fire at all, and the little devil lost his commander, and the offensive formation became a mess.
"Evacuate, quick, turn into !!"
Immediately, the devil soldiers picked up their weapons and fled behind in embarrassment.
The fighting spirit of the little devils was weakened by the shells, and there were no tactics at all when evacuating, and they couldn't even take care of the wounded, and one by one the devil soldiers rushed to run around.
The soldiers of the security regiment and the Sichuan army who were guarding the position shot together, and severely defeated the defeated little devils.
"Tubu!"
"Da Da Da!"
The guns of all kinds of guns were loud, and machine gun bullets and rifle bullets pursued behind the devil.
"Ahh......h
The little devils who ran behind were shot by bullets, and many devil soldiers were hit into bloody holes in their backs by bullets, and the enemy fell to the ground with bullets.
The leader of the devil's artillery squadron saw that the devil soldiers in front of him were beaten so badly, and they immediately suppressed and covered the fire.
"Artillery fire suppression, smoke bomb firing ready!"
"Tom tom!"
The devil artillerymen suppressed the artillery fire and fired smoke bombs at the same time.
A thick smoke screen covered the positions of the security regiment and the Sichuan army, creating a certain obstacle for the soldiers to shoot.
Because the smoke screen obscured the view, the escaped little devils were able to breathe, but stray bullets still flew everywhere around them.
The little devil rout retreated to the forward position, and the devil commanders of the various squadrons regrouped their forces and launched an attack again.
……
Li Hong moved the telescope in his hand, looked through the smoke of gunpowder, looked at the defeated ghost soldiers, and was thinking about something.
The offensive tactics of the devil's troops are strange, the enemy has enough troops to carry out a siege on multiple sides at the same time.
However, the enemy attacked from only one direction, which was too unreasonable.
The little devil only sent a brigade to attack, such a tactic is a taboo for soldiers, and it is undoubtedly a tactic to add fuel to.
To say that the little devils who attack are bluffing, however, the little devils in the forward positions are very tenacious, and the enemy's offensive posture does not look like a feint.
"What tricks does this little devil want to play?"
Li Hong thought quickly in his mind, guessing the true intentions of the devil troops.
At this moment, suddenly, there was a burst of artillery shelling from the south gate.
Instead, Li Hong moved his binoculars and looked towards the south city gate.
The devil artillery outside the southern city was shelling, and the shells continued to fly out of the devil artillery positions and bombarded the city walls.
The little devil's artillery fire was very fierce, judging from the number of shells and the movement of the explosions, at least the firepower of an artillery brigade.
Through the enemy's firepower, Li Hong quickly understood the devil's true offensive intentions.
The devil commander knew very well that the defense of the South City Gate was weak, so the enemy mobilized artillery fire to storm the South City Gate in an attempt to open a breakthrough.
The devils who attacked head-on seemed to be stubborn, but in fact, they attracted the firepower of the soldiers defending the city to make a feint, and the main direction of the devil's attack was the south city gate.
The south city gate seemed to be precarious, but Li Hong was still calm and calm.
In fact, Li Hong had long expected that the South City Gate would become the key point of breakthrough for the devil troops.
He had already had his troops place a large number of anti-infantry mines and anti-tank mines outside the southern city gate in advance to hinder the enemy's attack.
More than half of the Devil's troops attacking from the front suffered casualties, and there was not much of a threat, and the Little Devils and the defenders on the front line were deadlocked.
Subsequently, Li Hong rushed to the south gate with the communications squad to command the operation......
Guarding the south gate were the 5th Battalion of the Security Regiment, as well as the officers and soldiers of the 77th Regiment of the Sichuan Army.
In the face of the enemy's artillery fire, the officers and men of the two armies still stubbornly held their positions.
"Tom tom!"
"Boom, boom!"
The artillery fire at the South City Gate was extremely fierce, the devil artillery fired continuously, 70 mm and 75 mm shells fired in a salvo, and the dense shells bombarded in the direction of the South City Gate.
"Beware of artillery fire, concealment, pay attention to concealment !!"
The officers and soldiers guarding the southern city entered the bunkers one after another, hiding from the enemy's artillery fire.
The suppression of 70-mm and 75-mm shells was good, however, the destructive power of this medium-caliber gun against the defense of the city walls was limited and could not be compared with 105-mm guns.
Moreover, some of the collapsed walls of the South Gate have been rebuilt, and the soldiers' bunker fortifications and fire fortifications have also been reinforced.
There were too many shells flying, and some of the shells deviated and flew into the city, and the exploded shells collapsed many houses and buildings, and the smoke of flames filled everywhere.
Fortunately, the civilians in the city had long since been evacuated, and the shells only destroyed houses, and there were no innocent casualties.
"Hurricane Hurricane ......"
Cannonballs screeched from afar, and the rain of cannonballs poured down on the ramparts.
The explosion and fire flickered in the air, and the cannonballs shook on the city walls, and several holes appeared in the thick walls, and large pieces of masonry mixed with shrapnel flew everywhere.
The defensive nature of the city wall is still able to withstand medium-caliber shells, and the little devils have been bombing for so long, and the walls of the city wall have only cracked, and there is no collapse anywhere.
Of course, after all, the city wall is not made of reinforced concrete, and there is no problem in resisting one or two waves of artillery fire, but if the artillery fire keeps bombarding, the city wall building will definitely not be able to resist.
The artillery fire was so fierce that the defenders guarding the city tower were not comfortable, and many officers and soldiers were killed and wounded under the artillery fire.
"Uh, uh, uh......"
Some of the shells were in the bunker fortifications on the city tower, and the defenders were blown up by the shells to the bottom of the city tower, and more than a dozen defenders struggled in pain by the fortifications.
"The firepower of these little devil turtle sons is really fierce, medical soldiers, stretcher team, come and treat the wounded!"
The defenders dragged the wounded officers and men into the bunkers and shouted for the medics to come.
The paramedics and stretcher teams were busy in groups, and they ran through the corridors of the city walls to treat the wounded under artillery fire.
Not long after the artillery bombardment by the devils, gradually, the enemy in the distance stopped shelling.
The artillery of the little devils has always been very afraid of the 105-mm heavy artillery of the security regiment, and they do not dare to shell continuously all the time, otherwise, the artillery positions will be exposed.
