The lethality of the mortar is also quite scary, and if it explodes next to it, it will definitely explode into a pile of unrecognizable meat puree.

The shells exploded, forming a large number of shrapnel, which were scattered in all directions.

"Ahh......h

The miserable screams kept ringing out.

More than 100 little devils were drowned in artillery fire, and their bodies were scattered everywhere, and stumps and broken arms could be seen everywhere, as well as broken firearms and deformed steel helmets.

In addition, there are many little devils who are dizzy and are crawling all over the ground looking for their weapons.

"Beware of artillery fire, dodge quickly, and hide !!"

The little devil who was hit by artillery fire shouted loudly.

The little devils scattered one after another, looking for hiding spots everywhere, some of them lying under the shell crater, and some of them hiding behind the damaged chariots.

These little devils dodged in time, and those unconscious devils who blew up were miserable.

A group of little devils walked around in place for a few times, and before they could regain consciousness, suddenly, hundreds of machine gun bullets were fired fiercely.

"Da Da Da!"

Li Hong was lying in the machine gun fortifications, the MG-42 machine gun was mounted on the sandbag, he frequently moved the muzzle of the gun, and used long point fire to strafe those dizzy little devils.

The bullets that flew out of Li Hong's muzzle were accurate and deadly, and more than a dozen little devils were like a group of lambs that had been slaughtered.

The bodies of the devils were splashed with blood from bullets, and the enemy fell to the ground one after another, and after a while, a group of little devils all died under Li Hong's gun.

A few kilometers away from Nancheng, at this time, the captain of the Devil Wing, Shuichi Ishida, clearly saw the situation on the battlefield ahead.

The firepower of the soldiers of the security regiment was too strong, and Li Hong was too cunning, and in a moment's effort, the devil's attacking force was defeated, and hundreds of elite soldiers were killed and wounded.

As an excellent Imperial officer, Shuichi Ishida had never fought such a battle, which was simply a great shame for the wing.

The muscles on Ishida's face twitched, and he said angrily: "Yaga Road, the soldiers of China are so cunning that they have laid mines outside the city, otherwise, the imperial soldiers will definitely take the South City Gate!" ”

The devil staff officer next to him slowly spoke: "Your Excellency, Wing Commander, it is the Sichuan Army and the Security Corps that guard the South City Gate. There is no need to worry about the backwardness of the Sichuan army's weapons and equipment, and the security regiment is not only powerful in firepower, but Li Hong is even more scheming, and many imperial officers and generals have been defeated in his hands......"

"Baga, do you mean that I will also be defeated in the hands of Li Hong?" Shuichi Ishida said with a gloomy face.

The devil staff officer lowered his head and hurriedly explained: "No, Your Excellency Wing Commander, this is not what you mean, the humble position is just to remind you that Li Hong is really not simple, and we must fight him with twelve points of spirit." ”

After listening to the words of the devil's staff officer, Ishida Shuichi nodded slightly, and said lightly: "Li Hong is good at defending and attacking, and he is indeed a military commander talent, and this unit of the security regiment is the most powerful force I have ever seen." ”

The combat ability of the security regiment amazed Ishida Shuichi, and he finally understood the power of Li Hong and the security regiment.

Ishida Shu raised his binoculars and observed the firepower of the defenders of Nancheng for a moment, and then changed his offensive tactics.

Soon, the devil's communication corps went to convey the order to the devil's two combat brigades.

After receiving the order of the wing command, the various brigades of the devils quickly adjusted their offensive deployment.

The artillery brigade of the little devils, replaced with smoke bombs, and fired at the southern city gate.

"Tom tom!"

Smoke bombs kept flying out, landing on and below the tower.

The shells released a thick cloud of smoke, forming a high wall of smoke that completely obscured the view of the defenders of the southern city.

It is indeed wise for the imps to use smoke bombs, which can cause a visual obstruction to the defending troops, thereby reducing the casualties of the imps' attacking troops.

The little devil did not use smoke bombs in the previous attack, because the smoke screen would also cause an obstruction of sight to the attacking troops.

"Damn, the little devil is quite a chicken thief."

Li Hong's vision was blocked and he stopped shooting.

"Signal soldier, pass my order, order the heavy artillery unit to fire at the devil artillery position......"

Before Li Hong's order was finished, the leader of the communications squad ran over.

"Report the regimental seat, the telegram of the flying squadron!"

Li Hong picked up the telegram and glanced at it, it turned out that the flying squadron had arrived in the Fifth War Zone.

"Okay, great, the flight squadron came at the right time!"

Li Hong pinched the telegram and was suddenly a little overjoyed.

These days, the devil's bombers are running rampant, and air supremacy is completely controlled by the enemy, and without air fire support and reconnaissance, the battlefield will be very passive.

Now that the flight squadron is here, the decline of being beaten passively will be alleviated.

"Immediately prepare a telegram, order, the flight squadron immediately join the battle and rush to the aid of Nanguan County!"

"Yes, Tuanza!"

The communications squad leader left and switched to delivering orders to the flying squadron.

Another communications soldier asked: "Regimental seat, do you still need to give orders to the artillery?" ”

Li Hong thought quickly for a few seconds, and said slowly: "Order the heavy artillery troops to carry out a rough artillery bombardment one kilometer outside the southern city." ”

"Yes, Tuanza!"

The communications corps also hurried away.

Instead, Li Hong ordered the officers and soldiers guarding the city: "Everyone enter the bunker fortifications, hurry, hurry!" ”

The officers and soldiers defending the city put away their weapons one after another, and then took refuge in the bunker fortifications for defense.

Li Hong didn't have to think about it to guess the enemy's next attack plan, and as soon as the smoke screen dispersed, the little devil artillery would carry out a round of fierce artillery bombardment to cover the infantry attack.

Withdrawing troops to bunkers as soon as possible made it possible to avoid enemy artillery fire.

Less than ten minutes later, the devil troops really attacked.

"Tom tom!"

The artillery brigade of the little devils bombarded the fortifications on the city tower indiscriminately.

Shells flew continuously, and the walls were blown open, and the corridors of the walls were littered with broken masonry.

The officers and soldiers defending the city entered the bunker fortifications in advance, and the devil's artillery fire did not make much damage.

"The infantry charges forward, and the ducks and chickens give !!"

"The infantry charges forward, and the ducks and chickens give !!"

The two devil brigades regrouped their forces, and more than a thousand little devils swarmed towards the south city gate.

"Imperial soldiers, rush—"

The devil soldiers shouted "babbling" and charged in groups.

The attacking little devil charged forward for several hundred meters, and suddenly, a large-caliber artillery shell smashed outside the southern city like a meteorite.

The artillery of the security regiment in the distance could not see the situation outside the city at all, and could only bomb in a rough area.

Although the rough bombardment hit rate will be reduced, the large killing radius of the 105-mm shell can fully compensate for the lack of accuracy.

"Boom, boom, boom!"

The explosion was deafening, and the shells exploded around the ghost soldiers, splashing sand and dirt.
