As soon as the Devil Artillery unit launched an artillery bombardment, the commanders of the battalions outside the city hurriedly called Li Hong to inform him.

After receiving the report from his subordinates, Li Hong put down the machine gun in his hand, quickly moved to a hidden corner of the high-rise building, and then held a telescope to observe the situation outside the city.

Outside the city, the artillery rain flew like locusts, and the shells exploded one after another on the position, filling the air with layers of thick gunsmoke.

The direction of the devil's shelling was mainly concentrated in the south of the city, and the artillery fire of the devils in the east and south of the city was not very violent.

Li Hong moved his telescope and carefully observed the position outside the city for a while, and he analyzed through the number of artillery fired by the enemy, the enemy's shelling of the east and north of the city should only be a feint, and the direction of the real attack should be the south of the city.

Thinking about this, Li Hong called Meng Dazhu, the commander of the third battalion guarding the south of the city.

"Hey, Meng Dazhu!!"

Li Hong shouted several times in a row, and only then did he hear an intermittent voice on the other side of the phone.

"Tuanza...... My Meng Dazhu! ”

Meng Dazhu's response was filled with the noisy sound of cannonball explosions.

"How's the situation with your three battalions?!"

Meng Dazhu replied loudly: "Report to the regiment, the devil's artillery fire is too fierce, and there are many wounded in our battalion......"

Before Meng Dazhu's words were finished, the telephone line on the other end was broken.

Li Hong thought about it carefully and decided to go to the position of the third battalion in person.

Soon, Li Hong hurried to the third battalion with the communications squad and the guard squad.

When Li Hong rushed to the position outside the south of the city, the devil's shelling ended, and immediately, the devil's army attacked.

"Imperial soldiers, attack, duck and chicken give !!"

"Imperial soldiers, attack, duck and chicken give !!"

"Imperial soldiers, attack, duck and chicken give !!"

The commander of the devil front gave an order, and the little devil troops from all walks of life charged.

Thousands of little devils, under the cover of artillery fire, picked up weapons and rushed towards several directions outside the city at the same time.

Although there was a wing combat unit on the front line of the 9th Brigade of the Devils, however, the Little Devils only sent a brigade to attack.

In the north of the city, the 14th Brigade also sent only one brigade, while in the south of the city, two brigades of devil troops attacked.

Obviously, the little devil's attack on the north and east of the city was only a response, and it was the Japanese troops in the south of the city who were really responsible for the main attack.

The devil's heavy artillery was indeed very powerful, and the artillery bombardment was very fierce, destroying many fortifications on the front positions of the third battalion, as well as fire fortifications.

Fortunately, the fortifications of the defenders of the third battalion were relatively strong, which greatly reduced the casualties of the defenders on the position.

As soon as the enemy's artillery fire stopped, the commander of the third battalion, Meng Dazhu, immediately ordered the soldiers in the frontline positions to step up the repair of fortifications.

"Brothers, quick, strengthen the fortifications, get ready for battle, the little devils are rushing up!!"

The soldiers on the battlefield were a little stunned by the devil's shells, and it took a few minutes before the soldiers reacted one after another.

"Quick, quick, get into a combat position!!"

The soldiers threw themselves open of the dirt on their bodies, quickly drilled out from under the battle bunker, and entered the combat position, where the soldiers took tools and split up to reinforce the bunker fortifications.

The little devil who attacked to the south of the city was very fierce, and the devil charged very quickly.

"Boom, boom, boom......"

There was a roar of chariots from the position.

Five or six devil tanks and armored vehicles formed a group of combat vehicles and advanced at full speed towards the forward position of the third battalion.

According to the urine nature of the little devil, a large number of chariots will be dispatched to attack, and the little devil only dispatches such a small number of chariots, mainly because of the restrictions of the terrain, so the little devil can only send a small number of chariots to attack.

"Imperial soldiers, rush, capture the position of the forward security regiment!!"

The devil chariot opened the way in front, and more than 1,000 devil infantry followed behind the chariot group, and the momentum was fierce to cover the position.

The defensive position in the south of the city was the weakest, and Li Hong had already asked the third battalion to deploy mines and various explosives in advance.

The artillery fire of the little devils just now was indeed fierce, but the scope of the enemy's bombardment was basically around the positions of the three battalions, and there was no large-scale bombardment in front of the positions, and the artillery fire of the devils could not completely remove the mines and explosives.

The devil troops charged from all directions and rushed to 500 meters from the forward position of the third battalion in one go.

The devil soldiers, with their fighting spirit and enthusiasm, rushed forward excitedly, completely oblivious to the explosives on the ground.

There were quite a few mines planted in front of the position, and many little devils were caught off guard and stepped on the mines.

Suddenly, a series of muffled mine explosions rang out.

"Boom, boom, boom......"

"Ahh......h

The sound of explosions and the screams of devils mingled.

One mine exploded, and immediately after, all the mines planted around it were also detonated.

More than 100 little devils who rushed in front of them bore the brunt of being killed and injured by mines, and the devil soldiers screamed and were blown to the ground.

Some of the little devils were killed by mines on the spot, and some of the little devils had their legs blown up, and there were stumps and broken arms all over the place, as well as the corpses of the little devils.

The wounded devil soldier, clutching his broken leg with blood pouring down, fell to the ground and screamed.

In addition to gunpowder killing enemies, mines are the most powerful fragmentation killing.

The mines on the ground exploded one after another, and the dirt mixed with shrapnel flew everywhere, mercilessly killing and injuring the little devils around the explosion point.

As soon as the mine fragments spread, they flew out, and immediately splashed and injured a large number of little devils.

The little devils fell in groups of three or five, like wheat, and the enemy was covered with fragments of mines.

"Uh, uh, medic......"

Several ghost medics hurriedly ran over, and suddenly, the medics accidentally stepped on a mine, and as a result, several ghost medics blew up their limbs on the spot.

The little devils were blown up by the mines and fled in all directions, and the devil troops were in chaos, and it was even easier to step on the mines.

"Bagaya Road, don't run around, be careful of mines, drop quickly, lie down on the spot!!"

The devil commander knelt in place, calmly commanding the panicked devil soldiers.

When the devil soldiers heard the order, they no longer dared to run around, and they all lay on the ground or knelt in place.

Although the devil's approach can avoid being killed by mines, the little devil's attacking force has already rushed within the range of the third battalion.

In the short time that the little devil's attack was frustrated, the third battalion had quickly rebuilt the fortifications.

The commander of the third battalion, Meng Dazhu, looked at the devil troops who rushed into the firing range, and immediately ordered to open fire.

"Brothers, fire !!"

Suddenly, fierce gunfire and artillery fire rang out from various firing points on the forward positions of the third battalion.

"Sudden !!"

"Tom !!"

Dozens of heavy machine guns, hundreds of rifles fired at the forward positions, and at the same time, more than a dozen mortars in the rear of the positions were shelled.

In an instant, the guns on the positions of the three battalions rang out.
