Wang Zhuzi returned to the position of the artillery unit with a sneer at this time, picked up the telescope in his hand, and carefully observed and measured the puppet army around the city trench outside the southern city of Yanggao in front.

"Two hundred and eighty meters in front of the target, the enemy's trench around the city, plus two in height and two, zero zero three to the right, very rapid fire! Ready, put! Wang Zhuzi commanded the gunners under him in a loud voice.

All the gunners replied in unison: "Yes, captain! ”。

A shell filled the chamber of the Type 92 infantry gun, and as soon as the gunners pulled, a shell was fired from the chamber of the Type 92 infantry gun, and smashed from the sky into the trench around the city guarded by the puppet army.

"Boom, boom!" The cannonballs landed and exploded, and the red-hot cannonballs exploded into the city, scattering debris and flying out in all directions.

One by one, the puppet soldiers who had no time to dodge watched the fragments of the shells explode into their bodies, and then there was a scene of stumps and broken arms flying everywhere, accompanied by the miserable shouts of the puppet soldiers.

"Ahhh

"Pull my brother and help me!"

"My legs, what about my legs? Ahhh ”

..........

With Li Yunlong's order, Wang Zhuzi concentrated ten Japanese Type 92 infantry guns captured in the previous battle, and carried out a centralized bombardment of the puppet army's trench position around the city outside the southern city of Yanggao.

The puppet army was bombed in a hurry, especially the soldiers of the two companies of the puppet army who were stationed in the trenches outside Nancheng, and suffered heavy casualties. Because when the new regiment attacked Yanggao, the trenches outside the city, although the Japanese puppet army had dug before, but did not dig too many anti-artillery holes, so Chen De, the puppet army soldiers under the command of the puppet army battalion commander, was shelled by Wang Zhuzi for five minutes, and the puppet soldiers under his command of more than 400 people suffered more than 100 casualties, and the rest of the seventy or eighty puppet soldiers were seriously injured, almost losing their combat effectiveness.

"Made, how can the Eighth Route Army have so many shells?" Chen De, the commander of the puppet army battalion, hid in the anti-artillery hole, bared his teeth and said angrily, you must know that when you went out of the city to encircle and suppress the Eighth Route Army before, it was rare to see the Eighth Route Army with such strong artillery strength!

Mao Er, a staff officer of the puppet army camp headquarters who was hiding from the shelling next to Chen De, said with a wry smile: "The barracks, I think, may be the imperial weapons and equipment captured by the new regiment in the battle of Xiaolizhuang and other battles before!" ”。

Chen De thought about it and immediately came back to his senses, you must know that the new regiment has eaten up several units of the Imperial Army, and it is understandable that there are so many cannons.

"Made, the artillery fire of the new regiment has stopped, give me the fuck to go out and fight back! Hurry up and drop! At this time, when Chen De just wanted to continue talking to Mao Er, the shelling outside stopped.

"Yes, brothers, all out, on!" Mao Er nodded stunned, took a pistol murderously, and instructed the surrounding puppet soldiers to go out to fight back against the attack of the new regiment.

At this time, Li Yunlong had already seen the effect of the shelling and nodded with satisfaction. The combat effectiveness of the soldiers of the puppet army is not worth mentioning at all, and under the shelling, it is enough to deter the resistance of the soldiers of the puppet army.

"Damn, order, Zhang Dabiao's two companies are on me! Order Wang Zhuzi, artillery cover, concentrate artillery fire, and bomb the Japanese fortifications at the head of Yanggao South City for me, and cover Zhang Dabiao's attack! Order Zhou Hua to concentrate two companies and charge after him! Capture the southern city in one fell swoop! Li Yunlong said to the herald beside him.

The herald of the new regiment suddenly responded: "Yes, regimental commander!" ”。

At the end of the five minutes of the shelling, Li Yunlong ordered the concentration of four companies of troops, nearly half of which were to attack Nancheng, and the rest of the troops to surround the rest of the Yanggao Chengchi direction.

The sky was overcast, and it was early in winter with light snow.

Under the cover of artillery fire, Zhang Dabiao's two companies began to launch a fierce attack on the puppet army in the trenches around the city outside the southern city of Yanggao.

"Da-da-da, da-da-da, da-da!" Zhang Dabiao concentrated five Makqin heavy machine guns, mainly under the cover of Wang Zhuzi's artillery, and advanced to the puppet army's trench attack.

One by one, the bullets of the Makqin heavy machine gun strafed towards the position of the puppet army, and the remnants of Chen De's puppet army who hit him could not raise their heads.

Most of Chen De's puppet army were the original soldiers of the Jin Sui Army, and their own combat effectiveness was not good, otherwise they would not have surrendered to the Japanese army.

"Camp, I can't stand it! The firepower of the Eighth Route Army was too fierce! The first two trenches in front of the company were lost, and you see, the camp! In the fierce battle, a company commander of the puppet army ran to Chen De's side and shouted in fear.

Chen De glanced back at the Japanese soldiers on the city, and saw that the Japanese soldiers also fired, but under the artillery bombardment of the new regiment, the Japanese soldiers on the city were also bombed and suffered heavy casualties.

But when Chen De surrendered to the Japanese army for a long time, he had already lost the confidence to resist the Japanese army, so he just said angrily: "Made, didn't you see the heavy machine guns of the imperial army on the city aiming at the brothers?" If you dare to turn back and go back, you will definitely be beaten into a sieve by the bullets of the imperial army. Made, you kid give it to me, hold on, hold on! ”。

"Yes, Camp!" Seeing Chen De pointing a pistol at him, the company commander of the puppet army suddenly had a thrill and hurriedly ran out of Chen De's headquarters to command the operation.

Under Chen De's strict supervision, the puppet soldiers fought back very strongly, but they could not withstand Wang Zhuzi's artillery fire to cover the attack of Zhang Dabiao's two companies, and all the trenches outside the city guarded by the puppet army were captured.

In particular, Chen De's puppet army, under the fierce bombardment and attack of the new regiment, suffered heavy casualties, most of them were annihilated, and even Chen De, the traitorous puppet army battalion commander, was accidentally killed by Zhang Dabiao when he wanted to surrender at the last moment.

At this time, the defensive positions outside the city were lost, and the captain of the Japanese garrison in the city, Shigeto Sajiro, soon got all the puppet troops outside the southern city to be annihilated, and immediately said angrily: "Yaga Yalu, a bunch of waste!" How's the battle going? How is Southtown? ’。

The Japanese soldiers who came to report the battle situation immediately said: "Report to Your Excellency Shaozuo, the new regiment of the Eighth Route Army concentrated ten 92-type infantry guns to violently bombard the ring trench outside the city for five minutes, and then two companies of the Zhina Army attacked and advanced to the position of the Imperial Alliance Army outside the southern city, and then the artillery fire of the Zhina Army suddenly opened artillery to cover, and the infantry artillery coordinated the attack, the puppet army was caught off guard, and the whole army was already annihilated. ”。

"Bagaya Road, you go back and tell Hirano immediately, hold on, I will send reinforcements immediately!" Sajiro Shigeto said urgently.

The Japanese soldier stood up and said, "Hayi, Your Excellency Shaozuo!" ”。

But without waiting for Sajiro Shigeto to breathe a sigh of relief, soon in less than ten minutes, the artillery fire in the direction of Nancheng became more intense.

"Your Excellency Shaozuo, something is wrong! The walls of the southern city have been lost, and the Chinese army has entered the city! Takayama Hirano rushed in from outside the command headquarters and hurried to Sajiro Shigeto, who was looking at the map.
