No matter what Li Yunlong thought, at this time, Matsui Ishine had already commanded the remaining devil units of the Japanese 3rd Division to launch an attack on Wei County.

Matsui Ishine set up his headquarters on a high ground less than 500 meters north of the north bank of the river, and condescendingly hid in the woods on the high ground to coordinate and direct the siege.

After the deployment of the various units of the devils in accordance with Matsui Ishone's plan and the siege of the city was completed, the devil's staff officer who was in charge of contacting the commanders of the Japanese troops of each department had already reported to Matsui Ishone: "Report to Your Excellency the General, all departments report that they have been mobilized in place and can launch an attack at any time. ”。

"Yo Xi!"

Matsui Ishine said: "Hit the signal flare and attack the city!" ”。

"Hay, Your Excellency!" The devil staff officer paused heavily, and then personally picked up the flare gun and fired a signal flare into the sky with the two devil soldiers next to him.

"Bang Bang Bang !!!"

Three signal flares exploded in the sky over Wei County, and the brilliant white light exploded in the eyes of the devils and the new group of soldiers on the ground in an instant.

At this time, Lieutenant General Fujita Shin, the commander of the 3rd Devil Division, who had been waiting for the final siege order, saw the signal flare exploding in the sky in his temporary division headquarters, drew his samurai saber and roared fiercely, "Order the 18th Infantry Wing, the 34th Infantry Wing, the Artillery Brigade, and the Cavalry Squadron, according to the plan, attack the city and kill it!" For the sake of the empire, the class !! ”

Fujita Jin, who roared and commanded the siege, stood at his division headquarters and slashed down at the front of Wei County.

With Fujita's order, the various units of the devils who were carrying out the siege plan began to carry out rifles and launched a fierce attack on the defensive position of the new regiment on the north bank of the river north of Wei County under the cover of the artillery fire of 16 Type 92 infantry guns and more than 20 60 mm mortars of the two Japanese artillery brigades.

Fujita Shin ordered the 29th Infantry Wing of the 34th Infantry Brigade of his division to divide two infantry brigades into a feint attack on the east and west sides of Ul County in a roundabout way to cover and contain the support of the defenders of the new 1st Regiment on both sides of Ul County to the main position in the north.

"Boom, boom!!!"

Commander Oda Masa, who was in charge of the Devil's Artillery Unit, and Shaosa murderously commanded his subordinate artillery unit to carry out a fierce bombardment of the positions defended by the 1st Battalion and 4th Battalion of the New Regiment north of Ul County.

Sixteen Japanese Type 92 infantry guns lined up and launched a fierce artillery bombardment on the defensive positions of the new regiment north of Ul County.

The overwhelming shells roared and smashed like rain, and even the soldiers of the new regiment, the first battalion, and the fourth battalion, who braved the light rain and hid in the trench anti-artillery holes to avoid the shelling, had to admit that the shelling of the devils was still very ferocious.

At this time, Zhang Dabiao's battalion was in charge of the position on the north bank of the river north of Wei County, and several defensive fronts were built along both sides of the river on the north bank of the river, and a large number of trenches were densely built and barbed wire was deployed.

However, the artillery bombardment of the two artillery groups of the Japanese army still blew up a lot of barbed wire. The hanging mines on it were also detonated by the artillery bombardment of the devils, flattening the barbed wire fence and some trenches.

"Made, order the brothers, to withstand, the artillery bombardment of the little devils will not last long. Someone, contact Wang Chengzhu's artillery battalion and give us some artillery support. In the bunker of the battalion headquarters, Zhang Dabiao took the binoculars and looked at the position of his battalion full of artillery fire, his eyes were solemn, and then shouted to a staff officer and a herald at the battalion headquarters!

"Yes, Battalion Commander!" The staff officers and heralds of the battalion headquarters replied one after another, and it was very loud, the artillery bombardment of the devils was really fierce, and the huge shell explosion directly shook the ground of the shelter above the battalion headquarters, and everyone had to shout.

Wang Chengzhu has already been prepared, and all his artillery has been concentrated in the high places in the city of Wei County, which can provide artillery support in all four directions of Wei County. come

As soon as Zhang Dabiao's request for help arrived, Wang Chengzhu immediately mobilized 30 captured Devil 92 infantry guns to concentrate at least 25 artillery pieces to counterattack.

"Kill!! Fire!! ”

After ordering the artillery fighters who had already been ready to load the shells, Wang Chengzhu gave an order, and the triangular command flag in his hand fell down fiercely.

With Wang Chengzhu's command, all the artillery soldiers pulled the cannon rope back fiercely, and soon the deafening sound of artillery bombardment suddenly sounded.

"Knock Knock Knock !!"

One by one, the shells were fired sonorously and powerfully, and the tail flames of the shells smashed towards the artillery position of the little devils in the light rain that continued to fall.

At this time, Fujita Shinmasa ordered the artillery commander Oda Masakazu to continue the fierce artillery bombardment of the positions outside the city held by Zhang Dabiao's troops and the 4th Battalion He Yongjie's troops.

Suddenly, Fujita saw through the telescope the trajectory of a cannonball that had suddenly been launched from inside the city of Ul County.

"Yaga, it's not good! A new regiment of artillery fire counterattacked, quickly drip, ordered Oda Masakazu, transfer the artillery position! Fujita shouted angrily at a devil staff officer beside him.

The devil's staff officer paused heavily, and then hurriedly picked up the field phone from a table behind him and shook it to contact Oda Masakazu.

At this time, without Fujita Jin's warning, Oda Masakazu, who had already prevented a new artillery counterattack, quickly ordered the devil artillery to move the position. In fact, Oda Masakazu's artillery positions were very scattered, but the positions aimed at Zhang Dabiao's department and He Yongjie's department were very concentrated.

And although Oda Masakazu quickly organized the devil artillery to transfer the artillery, how could it be transferred to the position in a short period of time?

"Boom, boom, boom!!!"

Wang Chengzhu's one-handed artillery counterattack immediately blew up the two artillery brigades in Oda Masakaze's hands, and he cried and cried for his mother. One of the places where the shells were stored was hit by several new balls of shells, causing a detonation.

The shock wave of the explosion almost staggered Oda Masakazu, who commanded the devil artillery to transfer positions in the roar, and the continuous explosion made Oda Masakazu, who was watching, cry without tears.

"Eight Grid Tooth Road, Counterattack, Counterattack!" After some of the ghost artillery who had been transferred to the position came to report, Oda Masakazu roared and commanded the artillery to counterattack.

It's just that Wang Chengzhu has long been very proficient in the artillery positions looking for devils, and continues to carry out artillery counterattacks against Oda Masakazu's scattered artillery positions. As for the attack of the 18th Infantry Wing of the Japanese Army on the blocking position on the north bank of the river held by Zhang Dabiao's troops at this time, it was also blocked to death.

Therefore, Wang Chengzhu concentrated his artillery fire to knock out Oda Masakazu's artillery unit first. Otherwise, Wang Chengzhu felt that the devil's artillery strength had been strengthened.

The mutual shelling of the two sides, the 18th Infantry Wing's attack on the defensive positions of Zhang Dabiao's and He Yongjie's troops was unfavorable, and Matsui Ishine and Kageza Zhenzhao, who were watching, couldn't help but put down the binoculars in their hands.

Especially Matsui Shigen, who was excited to be able to fight Li Yunlong head-on, but the combat effectiveness of the new regiment made him dignified.
