After receiving the order, the artillery brothers at the head of the east gate immediately got busy, with one deafening rumble after another.

One by one, the shells flew out towards the location where the devil's attacking troops were concentrated, because the firing site was on the city wall, with the help of the condescending advantage of the city wall.

So that the artillery brothers can clearly observe the target, and the accuracy can't help but improve a lot.

At the same time, the artillery on the wall of the south gate also opened fire one after another.

One after another, the shells flew through their field defensive positions outside the city almost simultaneously, and fell into the crowd of devils who were attacking.

Yang Chen stood at the head of the city, only to see a huge and dazzling red light suddenly rise from the crowd of devils, soaring into the sky.

Immediately afterward, the earth-shattering explosion rang out.

It can be clearly seen that countless little devils were blown upside down and flew out, and all kinds of stumps and severed arms flew around with the blast wave of the explosion.

Some of the devils near the center of the explosion were directly blown to pieces, and they couldn't even find a complete bone.

Especially those napalms, the threat of these little devils is even more deadly.

The raging flames that rose into the sky like mushroom clouds completely engulfed the little devils around them.

The little devils in the center were scorched almost instantly, and they didn't even have time to howl.

However, more of the little devils were set on fire, and they no longer cared about continuing to charge forward, but ran away like rabies-stricken mad dogs.

Or lie on the ground and roll around in an attempt to extinguish the fireworks on your body.

After two rounds of bombardment, there were at least a few hundred fire men on the entire battlefield, either lying on the ground rolling or scattering in all directions, the scene was not too spectacular.

From afar, Yang Chen could feel the burning pain on these little devils.

Refreshing!

It's so fucking cool!

Yang Chen was overjoyed to see it, slapped the battlement wall in front of him, and said with a smile: "Great, that's it!" Keep firing at Lao Tzu and bombard his mother's little devil!"

The soldiers were all very excited, and they reloaded the shells as fast as they could.

Due to the distance, except for the heavy artillery of the little devil, ordinary field artillery could not reach the artillery position of the Tiger Ben Regiment at all.

Therefore, the artillerymen of the Tiger Regiment at this time had no scruples at all.

With round after round of bombardment, it didn't take long for the little devils in front of the forward position of the Tiger Ben Regiment to be blown to pieces.

Standing on the top of the city and looking around, you can clearly see that the devils who were still dense just now attacked the crowd, but now there are more than half of the people in an instant.

Judging from visual observations, these rounds of shelling will kill at least 1,000 little devils.

Ignited by a gasoline bomb, still burning and tormenting, the little devil who is not dead does not count.

Coupled with the guns and bullets of the battalions, these thousands of devil attacking troops have now lost at least more than half.

These little devils have never seen the power of napalm.

Therefore, without the order of the devil commander, they all turned around and ran in a panic.

Not long after, the two officers in charge of directing the attack ran back to the joint headquarters with panicked expressions.

"What's wrong?" Fujita Shin looked at one of the Osa, who was the commander of the 5th Brigade under his command, the 6th Wing Commander Matsuyama Yoshimasa.

"Your Excellency Division Commander, our attacking troops were bombarded by a powerful mysterious weapon of the Tiger Regiment, and suffered extremely heavy losses, so we had to be forced to stop the attack!" Matsuyama Yoshimasa still has palpitations on his face when he says it.

Apparently frightened.

"Nani? What mysterious weapon?" Fujita Susumu was full of surprise and confusion.

Matsuyama Yoshimasa said with horror: "It is a powerful artillery, and after exploding, it can produce huge flames and engulf all the imperial troops within a radius of tens of meters around.

This kind of fireworks was extremely difficult to extinguish, but most of the imperial troops who were contaminated by this flame, except for those who were less violated, ended up being burned alive.

Even many imperial soldiers were tormented by the scorching pain and chose to end their lives by self-determination. ”

"Yaga! Are yours idiots? Fujita Jin was suddenly furious: "All incendiary bombs made by our Japanese Empire must be airdropped by aircraft, and if they are ignited, the fire can be completely extinguished!"

The Chinese could not even build tanks and artillery of more than 100mm caliber.

With their weak industrial base and science, how could they have made weapons more advanced than our Great Japanese Empire? Did you get kicked in the head by a donkey?"

"Your Excellency the division commander, what you said is true, don't believe it, you ask the attacking troops of the 9th Division!" Matsuyama Yoshimasa looked aggrieved.

But then again, if he hadn't seen it with his own eyes, I'm afraid he might not have believed that the enemy and others had such advanced weapons.

"Yes, Your Excellency General, our troops have also been bombarded by this mysterious incendiary bomb, and the losses of the attacking troops are extremely heavy!" Another devil, Dazuo, hurriedly followed to confirm.

"Yaga! What the hell is going on?" Fujita Jin still didn't want to believe it: "How can the Tiger Ben Regiment have more advanced weapons than my Imperial Japanese Army?"

Ryosuke Yoshika, who was on the side, hurriedly spoke: "Fujita-kun, please be calm, the position of the heavy artillery brigade has been constructed, and they can be ordered to carry out artillery bombardment on the enemy's defensive position!"

No matter what kind of advanced weapons the Tiger Regiment has, as long as the heavy artillery brigade fires, it will definitely be able to destroy them completely.

When the time comes, the imperial army will break through their defenses and occupy Zhoukou, and all doubts will be solved. ”

"Hmm!" Fujita nodded approvingly, he was still very confident in their heavy artillery brigade of the Great Japanese Empire.

So he ordered: "Order the heavy artillery brigade and the artillery wings directly under our two divisions to form an artillery group and fire at the forward field positions of the Tiger Regiment and the city defense at the same time."

In addition, we sent another telegram to Commander Shunroku Hata, requesting that the air force be dispatched to cooperate with us in carrying out a firepower strike.

This time, we are going to completely destroy the enemy's defense line and take Zhoukou in one go!

And annihilate the Tiger Bunch, the henchman of the empire! ”

……

The picture pulls to the Tiger Ben group.

At this time, Yang Chen, as well as Zhang Dali, Liu Zheping and the battalion commanders of the Tiger Ben Regiment were already when the Japanese army was repulsed.

Immediately, it began to arrange artillery on the position, heavy machine gun fire points, and shift the changing position.

The infantry cannons and howitzers on the city walls were also removed and hidden in a safe position in the city.

By the time the little devil shelling began, all the heavy machine gun fire points, the artillery positions, were already empty.

On the Japanese side, dozens of 150mm caliber heavy howitzers of the heavy artillery brigade, plus hundreds of infantry guns, small howitzers, and mortars of two divisions opened fire at the same time.

A powerful artillery group was formed and began to carry out intensive covering artillery strikes on the positions of the Tiger Regiment.
