Accompanied by the Japanese artillery team, they set up mortars about 700 meters away from the castle tower and began to launch artillery bombardment on the castle tower. An infantry brigade of the Japanese army also pressed towards the tower, trying to capture the gate of the city at once.

Countless bullets and shells hit the city tower, and the bullet holes and cannon craters that continued to appear also made the ancient city tower become covered in bruises. To the delight of the attacking Japanese troops, the gunfire on the castle tower seemed to be much sparser than before.

In fact, most of the soldiers lying in the mouth of the city tower were ready to shoot. But in order to inflict heavy damage on the attacking Japanese army, Hu Biao never gave the order to counterattack, he wanted to put the little devil in and fight again.

Earlier, in order to increase the difficulty of the Japanese army's attack, Hu Biao moved a lot of waste bricks and sundries from the city and piled them all up a hundred meters away from the city gate. These sundries, to a certain extent, can also provide shelter for the Japanese army.

But within 100 meters of the city tower, it was cleaned. This also means that it is almost impossible for the little devil to quietly approach the castle tower. And this 100 meters is also used by Hu Biao to pile up the corpses of little devils.

When the little devils began to bombard frantically and the infantry began to carry out the first round of charges, Hu Biao also shouted: "Fight!" ”

The machine guns and rifles that had been retained earlier were now all in full swing, and countless deadly tongues of fire erupted from the mouth. The little devil who was charging was soon brought down in pieces like the harvested rice stalks.

The captain of the Japanese army, who was staying behind a cover, looked at such a ferocious machine gun fire and said with a shocked face: "Baga! How is this possible? Damn, our shelling, how did not rush to destroy their machine-gun positions? ”

It can be clearly seen that in the place where the shells explode, there are still machine guns spitting out life-threatening bullets. It stands to reason that the machine gun position, which was so close to the explosion range, should have been destroyed a long time ago. But why, can the machine gun still fire?

"Captain, could it be that the Chinese army has built a machine gun bunker on the city tower?"

"Yaga! How is it possible to build a machine-gun bunker on the castle tower! Damn it! With such a dense machine-gun blockade, how can we get close? ”

Also confused, there are also Japanese artillery who are shelling, looking at the shells that bloom on the city tower from time to time, they feel that under this kind of shelling, there should be no soldiers on the city tower that is not too wide.

But why, the defenders on the towers of the city were not affected by the shelling in the slightest?

If the Japanese army sends a reconnaissance plane at this moment, they may be able to see the triangular fortifications on the castle tower, which resembles an inclined plane. Even the walls facing the city in the middle of the tower were torn down, and more of the blast power was poured into the city.

Even the shrapnel from the explosion continued to shoot at the door panel to block the fortifications. But the sandbags stacked outside the door panel play a good role in protection. The soldiers who stayed in the door panel fortifications were not in danger of their lives except for feeling that their ears were blown up and they could not hear the sound.

After a short period of panic, seeing that the fortifications built earlier were really useful, the soldiers who were squatting in the mouth of the Doo naturally shot desperately with excitement on their faces. Looking at the little devils who fell under the guns, the soldiers on the city tower were naturally full of joy.

"Kill! Grandma's! Little devil, here! Kill you dogs! ”

The warriors who shouted wow-wow, originally thought that this kind of blocking battle would definitely die. As a result, the seemingly inconspicuous door panel blocked the fortifications, but it stopped the deadly shelling for them. Except for the uncomfortable ears, there was no other threat.

Looking at the soldiers who kept falling on the charging road, the infantry captain immediately said: "Whistle!" Stop attacking! Go back and report to the wing commander that the artillery bombardment must be intensified. The defenders on the tower of the city, what kind of fortifications should have been built! ”

After the captain of the infantry brigade blew the whistle and stopped this completely suicidal charge, the soldiers on the city tower couldn't help but cheer when they looked at the little devil who finally retreated. Even some of the agitated fighters hit the door panel overhead.

Temporary wooden planks were erected to block the fortifications, so if you wanted to enter, you had to bend down, and when you fired, you had to squat or lie on your stomach. In short, don't even think about standing when you get into the fortifications. If you don't stand up carelessly, you'll hit the door panel that covers your head.

Facing the end of the first round of the Japanese army's charge, looking at the little devils gathered behind a pile of waste bricks and rubble, Hu Biao carefully searched for the red mark through the scope. After finding the red mark, Hu Biao said calmly: "Let's set off a firework!" ”

Taking a deep breath and aiming the muzzle of the gun at the inconspicuous red mark two hundred meters away, Hu Biao calmly pulled the trigger. As the bullet swirled along the muzzle and hit the red mark accurately, a loud bang rose into the air.

With a loud bang, the pile of waste bricks and stones exploded from it in an instant, and countless waste bricks and stones blew up the little devils nearby, and the ghosts cried wolf. The little devil who was hiding inside before was directly blown up into the sky.

The sudden scene shocked the defenders on the city tower and said, "Oh my God! What's going on? What blew up? In the pile of rubble, could it be that a bomb was planted? ”

Just when these fighters were confused, the fighters from the guard platoon smiled and said: "It's not a bomb, it's a shell!" It's a little devil's heavy artillery shell, which the battalion commander told us to bury when we dumped the waste bricks and rocks outside the city. ”

"How did that detonate?"

"The battalion commander exploded with a gun! And what's more! Let's wait and see the excitement! ”

In order to put pressure on the attacking little devils, Hu Biao deliberately asked the soldiers of the guard platoon to use a cart to pick up a lot of waste bricks and stones from the ruins in the city and dump them within a distance of 300 meters outside the city.

In the ruins of these artificially piled shelters, Hu Biao buried a heavy artillery shell aimed at the city tower. In order to facilitate aiming, Hu Biao deliberately used the paint he found to paint the fuse of the warhead red, and then used a sniper rifle to blow it up.

Use the impact force of the bullet to trigger the cannonball's guidance and cause it to explode. In order to do this, it is necessary to have super shooting skills to ensure that the bullet can hit the center of the leader.

This kind of accurate archery, the entire sniper team will never find a second one, only Hu Biao can do it himself. Seeing that the first heavy artillery shell was exploded, Hu Biao quickly moved the muzzle of the gun to the waste rock pile next to it.

The commander of the Japanese infantry wing, who was watching the battle in the rear, was a little stunned when he heard the first explosion. He didn't understand, how did the explosion come about? It is even doubtful that the defenders had planted explosives in advance.

Just when the Japanese army was also shocked by the sudden explosion, when the second explosion sounded, the little devil in charge of the attack really felt like he was frightened step by step. Looking at the little devils who were blown up, the little devils next to him were also dumbfounded.

Hu Biao, who had only prepared four heavy shells and exploded three in succession, was about to look for the fourth when he found that the red mark was missing. It seems that when the little devil ran before, the rocks blocked the heavy artillery fuse.

"Keep it! The bullet can't be detonated, wait for Lao Tzu to detonate it with a grenade! ”

Looking at the crater formed by the explosion of the heavy artillery, the little devil officer who stayed in the rear quickly said: "Your Excellency, the Chinese army should have planted explosives in the waste rock pile, and it should have been accidentally triggered by the attacking troops." ”

"Yaga! How so! Damn, why didn't our shelling work? ”

"Your Excellency, Wing Commander! Should you ask the division commander for tactical guidance? ”

"Yaga! Asking for tactical guidance so quickly, what do you think the division commander would think? Send out all the artillery and grenadiers, organize more Demomen, attack more, and be sure to destroy the damned defenders on the towers! ”

"Hey!"

Knowing that there may be traps laid in those waste stone piles outside the city, the little devils who are responsible for the attack also began to choose to detour. There are even little devils, who carefully inspect the waste rock pile, and find that except for broken bricks and stones, no traps are found.

So what happened to the three wastestone piles that exploded before? Or maybe the defenders of the castle tower only laid three traps? As soon as these three traps explode, the other waste rock piles are safe?

No matter what these Japanese soldiers thought, they were very excited for the soldiers guarding the Zhongshan City Gate at this moment. Although the previous shelling also caused them some casualties. But this kind of casualties still can't frighten them.

Seeing that the little devil stepped up the artillery bombardment and grenadiers, Hu Biao quickly ordered: "Pillar, notify Company Commander Liu and order the mortar platoon to launch a counterattack." As soon as you run out of shells, move your position and stand by in the reserves! ”

"Yes, Battalion Commander!"

I know that if I continue to let the little devil bomb like this, it is very likely that I will not be able to bear the emergency door panel to block the fortifications. Too many blown sandbags will also lead to a reduction in the protection of the door panel, and it is difficult to ensure the safety of the fighters inside.

In this case, Hu Biao immediately thought of the artillery platoon prepared earlier. The mortars of the artillery platoon have already been erected, and as long as Hu Biao gives an order, they can shell an area of one kilometer outside the city tower and shell the little devils in the area.

Liu Quan, who was temporarily serving as the artillery commander, looked at Tian Tiezhu who ran over, and hurriedly greeted him and said, "Brother Zhu, is it time to start shelling?" ”

"Yes! The battalion commander ordered you to use up the shells you were carrying as quickly as possible, and then quickly move to the reserve position and stand by. ”

"Good! Brothers, get ready to work! Shoot out the shells around you as fast as you can! ”

"Yes!"

Lifting the camouflage net covering the mortars, the artillerymen who quickly entered the artillery position, quickly took position in groups of three. When Liu Quan waved the command flag, twelve mortars roared at the same time, and twelve shells immediately rose into the air.

Immediately after crossing the castle line, the commander of the infantry wing, who was in command of the battle in the rear, was again shocked when these shells smashed into the Japanese attack area. He really didn't expect that the defenders in the city had formed mortars.

In fact, with the help of the military commander, Hu Biao now has a large number of domestically produced mortars, as well as various anti-aircraft guns purchased by the national army earlier, and even infantry guns and mountain artillery.

These artillery, according to the caliber and model, Hu Biao handed over to Liu Quan and Liu Guotong to recruit artillery for training. When the little devils gather heavy troops to attack, Hu Biao believes that these collected artillery will also give the little devils countless 'surprises'!
