Chapter 1078: Siege

With the recommendation of time, outside the four gates of Xinxiang City, the tense posture of the enemy and us is becoming more and more obvious.

About half an hour passed, and Yang Chen saw that everyone had almost arrived.

So he ordered the adjutant next to him: "Immediately send electricity to the other three, and in five minutes, we will attack together, and the shells will not be saved, and Lao Tzu will be able to make them!" ”

"Yes!"

The rake ears thundered into orders.

This time, the artillery battalion did not come, but the rest of the battalions had their own artillery batteries.

In addition, this time, in order to attack the city, Yang Chen deliberately asked him to bring some more field artillery.

Therefore, even without the participation of artillery battalions, the number of field guns, infantry guns and mortars of various calibers of the Tiger Regiment together exceeded 100 pieces.

It also included 40 heavy howitzers of 155mm caliber.

Of course, the size of these howitzers is very huge, so they were not brought by the Tiger Ben Regiment from Lingchuan, but they were left in Xinxiang before, waiting to be used today.

Coupled with the direct-aim artillery of 200 Tiger heavy tanks, the artillery power of the Tiger Regiment should not be underestimated.

"Fire!"

Five minutes later.

With the order of the battalion commander Yang Chen, more than 30 artillery pieces outside the west gate were fired at full power.

Bombarded the cannonballs towards the wall of the West Gate.

At the same time, more than 40 Tiger heavy tanks also pressed forward one after another, and after entering the kilometer range, they also opened fire decisively.

"Boom!"

"Boom, boom, boom! ——”

One after another, the cannonballs fell hard, and the city wall of the West Gate suddenly became a sea of fire.

In the firelight, countless bricks and rubble scattered in all directions.

Some of the devils and puppet soldiers who stuck to it were also affected, and they were killed and wounded.

The Tiger heavy tank was aimed at artillery, so the shells basically hit the front of the city wall, blasting down pieces of masonry and falling down.

Among them, in particular, the 10 155mm caliber heavy howitzers deployed outside the West Gate are the most powerful.

A cannonball landed on the tower of the West Gate.

I only heard a loud "boom", and the city tower collapsed directly in a firelight.

Broken masonry and rubble, flying everywhere with the raging shockwave.

The dozen devils and puppet soldiers hiding under the city tower were all buried alive underneath.

Not to be outdone, Kiyotaro Miyamoto ordered loudly: "Artilleryman, give me a return fire, return fire!" ”

The artillery strength of the Japanese army in Xinxiang Castle was inferior to that of the Tiger Regiment, so Miyamoto Seitaro did not set up an artillery position on the city wall.

Otherwise, if a round of bombardment of the Tiger Regiment is ordered, their artillery will have to be reimbursed directly.

However, the artillery position was set up inside the city, because it was impossible to directly visually detect the situation outside the city, which led to the fact that although the position was safer, the artillery fire was bound to be much less harmful to the Tiger Regiment.

Seeing that there were shells coming from the city, Yang Chen's face sank, and he immediately came behind a 155mm caliber howitzer.

"Let me come!"

He drank back the artillery next to him, and personally adjusted the shooting of Zhu Yuan according to the ballistic trajectory of the devil's shell.

Then he shouted: "Cannonballs! ”

"Yes!"

There was an artillery soldier next to him who was already ready, and when he heard the order, he immediately picked up a heavy shell and handed it over.

After Yang Chen took it, he directly pushed the cannonball out of the cannon door, then closed it, and then pulled down the firing rope heavily.

Only a muffled sound of "tom" was heard, and a shell came out of its chamber.

About a few seconds later, the shell landed on the artillery position of the devil in the city with great precision, and exploded directly with a "boom".

Suddenly, a flash of fire rose directly from the ground.

In the firelight, dozens of devil artillerymen, along with several artillery pieces, were affected one after another, and they were swept away by the raging shock wave generated by the explosion.

In particular, the artillery in the center of the shell's landing point, and several devil artillerymen, were melted directly almost the moment the shell exploded.

Not even the bones could be found.

Yang Chen determined through the system prompt sound that this cannon successfully hit the devil artillery position.

Immediately he fired the second shot, the third shot again......

Not long after, the devil's artillery position at the west gate was served by Yang Chen alone.

Thanks to Miyamoto Kiyotaro realizing that the situation was not right, he took a step ahead of time.

Otherwise, this old devil will have to turn into a ghost.

……

On the city wall, after a few rounds of shelling, the devils and puppet soldiers who stayed on it were almost killed.

The remaining devils and the location were forced by the situation, and they also retreated down the stairs to the city.

Seeing this, Yang Chen immediately ordered to extend the artillery fire in the city.

After a few more rounds of bombardment, Yang Chen saw that the time was ripe and immediately gave the order to attack the city.

Suddenly, several tanks rushed directly into the city.

The city gate had already been smashed into broken planks by several shells during the previous attack.

At this time, the tank and combat vehicle almost did not have any resistance, and easily rushed into the city along the hole in the city gate.

It's just that what the tank soldiers of the Tiger Ben Regiment don't know is that inside the city gate, there are already many devils waiting here with explosives bags and cluster grenades.

As soon as the barrels of the first tank crossed the city wall and were about to rush into the city, several little devils immediately threw the cluster grenades and two ignited explosive packets.

Their intention was simple, as soon as the first tank tank was blown up, or lay on its stomach, the rest of the tanks would not be able to move forward because the road was blocked.

The reason why the little devil did not reinforce the city gate and stuffed some bricks and stones to block it was because of this idea.

"Boom!"

"Boom, boom! ——”

The next moment, cluster grenades and explosives exploded violently.

The intense fire and smoke enveloped almost the entire Tiger heavy tank.

However, before these little devils could cheer, this Tiger heavy tank was like no one, and it directly killed the smoke.

The armor strength of the Tiger heavy tank is already very high, and ordinary shells cannot damage it at all.

And the Tiger heavy tank produced by the system is not to mention.

Therefore, if the devil's 10-kilogram explosive bag and cluster grenades can blow it up, it is an abnormal thing.

Confused!

The little devils hiding inside the city gate were all stunned at once.

At this moment, the barrel of the Tiger heavy tank that rushed into the city suddenly turned and aimed at the devils on the left side.

Not good!

Seeing this, these little devils have realized that something is wrong.

However, before they could react, a shell had already come out of the barrel.

"Boom!"

The cannonballs slammed down on the city walls, setting off fragments of masonry in an instant.

The little devils next to him were affected one after another, and they were killed and injured.

At the same time, a machine gunner also opened the lid and came out of it, controlling the car Vulcan Gatling, and decisively pulled the trigger on these little devils.
