Xu Biao's news soon came that they had arrived at the periphery of Gao'an, and were stepping up the construction of artillery positions, and it was expected that they would launch an attack on Gao'an at noon, because the troops coming out of the base were all cavalry regiments, guard regiments, and even special service regiments that had not participated in large-scale offensive battles at all. Fortunately, the 75th Division left by Xue Yue took the initiative to take the lead attack.

Zhuang Fuguo also came with the latest news, Xue Yue has launched an attack on Wuning, and there is a situation of the vanguard army marching in the direction of Tongcheng, it seems that there is really a meaning to fight Wuhan, and the whole country has now set off a counterattack on Wuhan.

Hearing this, Jiang Haoran only sneered, anyway, it is of no practical use to himself, he can toss as much as he likes!

At this moment, there was a sudden sound of gunfire in the city. Soon, Chu Zhongtian reported to Jiang Haoran that the devils were too cunning, and only a small part of them entered the city, and it was impossible to kill them silently, so they had to shoot decisively and annihilate all of this devil team. The observation post on the city wall also noticed the presence of a large number of Japanese troops outside the south gate, heard the sound of gunfire in the city, and had stopped advancing and began to build positions on the spot.

Jiang Haoran ordered Chu Zhongtian to retreat quickly, and at the same time ordered all the troops to enter their respective positions, if nothing else, the devils would attack immediately, and this round of artillery bombardment was estimated to be indispensable.

As soon as Jiang Haoran returned to the command headquarters, the rumbling explosion outside sounded, only shaking the entire air-raid shelter as if it was shaking, the shells were dense and chaotic, it was simply indiscriminate bombardment, according to the sound of the explosion, Jiang Haoran was almost certain that the artillery fire along the devil's line was not idle, and all mountain artillery, field artillery, and howitzers were fired. According to the report of Su Peng, who guarded the west gate, the devil's field artillery and howitzers were fired from the west, and it seems that the devils have begun to attack from the west and south, and it can be seen from the different artillery fire on both sides that it was the devil's 104th division that attacked the south gate, and it was the devil's 101st division that attacked the west gate.

The devil's shells stopped for about 20 minutes, and Jiang Haoran hurriedly picked up the walkie-talkie and asked about the casualties of the troops and the progress of the devil's attack. Fortunately, the casualty reports from various departments were better than he expected, because the anti-artillery bunkers were basically built along the moat, and the depth of the moat itself, plus the depth of the bulletproof crater, was five or six meters deep, and as long as the devil's shells did not directly hit the moat, it would not bring a large area of casualties. But the devils have already attacked directly under the city wall under the cover of artillery fire, and they attacked at the same time from the southwest side.

Jiang Haoran ordered the artillery to fire outside the city, with walkie-talkies, although all types of artillery are scattered all over the city, as long as the commander climbs the city wall, he can easily command the artillery fire to the designated position, but the devil's artillery is not vegetarian, it can be said that it is definitely much higher in terms of literacy, basically as long as the shells in the city are fired at the same position to five to six rounds, they will be locked by the devil's artillery, and then they will be given a fierce blow, so the shells fired by the devil can not cause great casualties to the devil, But it still bought time for the soldiers to climb the city wall to defend it, and soon, fierce gunfire rang out on both sides of the southwest, needless to say, both sides used guns, and the devil's attack distance must have been only a few hundred meters away from the city wall.

On the southern city wall. Anti-artillery sand barricades were piled up in each pass, light machine guns and heavy machine guns were erected, and the destruction of the Ninth Division was not much left, although there were not many heavy guns left, but these things were still enough, but there were not enough machine gunners in **, and the previous ammunition men had to act as the main shooters, although the accuracy of shooting was still unsatisfactory, but it was heavy firepower, and it was splashed out in pieces, and it was always possible to meet the unlucky Japanese army, and the other gunfire on the city wall basically covered them all.

On the city wall five or six meters wide, there are craters the size of baskets everywhere, it can be seen that the things left by the ancestors are really fucking strong, even under the heavy shell bombardment of the devils, there is basically no place to collapse, but the large gap is not old and young, in order not to step on the crater and hit the foot, the soldiers have filled it with sandbags, and the sand barricades are also piled up on the edge of the gap, the shooters spare no effort to shoot, and the logistics personnel methodically carry up boxes of bullets, put them behind them, and hit the shells on the city wall from time to timeAlthough it will make them stagnate, as soon as the danger is lifted, they immediately continue to move forward, rushing to the next pass, there are already many heroic soldiers and wounded soldiers in the aisle, and the medical guards are determining whether they are still alive one by one, and the wounded soldiers are being dealt with in a timely manner.

Whether it is the quality of the troops themselves, or Jiang Haoran's reasons, the entire army is not a little panicked because of the strength of the devil.

The Japanese troops outside the city wall, with the first round of artillery fire, actually advanced the battle line to a distance of less than 500 meters, and were suppressed by the fire of the machine guns, and actually built a shallow serpentine trench in a short period of time, and the locust-like Japanese turtles cowered inside and began to shoot frantically at the ** on the city wall. Less than 1,500 meters back, there was the position of the devil's 92 infantry guns, mortars, and 75 mountain guns, and the shells kept flying towards the city or the city wall with a screaming sound, and it could be seen that the second round of artillery suppression of the devils had begun.

The dangerous Cheng dù of the north city wall is better than the south gate, not to mention the heavy artillery, the more than 20 chariots of the devil actually moved forward in a row, firing cannons and machine guns at the city wall, and the groups of Japanese troops directly hid behind. The bullets clanged against the armor of the vehicle, but they hardly caused them many casualties.

Su Peng saw this qiē in his eyes from a pass on the city wall, and immediately howled in a hurry: "Battle defense artillery, bring a few battle defense guns to Lao Tzu, dog, take out this shitty thing to scare Lao Tzu!" ”

Su Peng's voice reached the ears of Yan Wang, who was observing at another pass, and saw that Su Peng appeared on the city wall without knowing when, and he was immediately startled, this cannonball didn't have long eyes, in case one was thrown to him, it would be repaid, and a cat's waist rushed over, pushed Su Peng out of the pass, and said loudly: "Division, what are you doing here?" Hurry down, I'll be here!" As he spoke, he waved to the guards around him, signaling them to hurry up and get Su Peng down.

"What are you doing? Presumptuous, all! Let go of me, and everyone will carry the cannon for Lao Tzu! Su Peng waved his hands left and right, took off the hand from the guard's rack, and scolded loudly, seeing that the guard had no intention of continuing, before he scolded again: "I sue you, our Nanshan Independent Army has no commander hiding behind him, hurry up, get a few battle defense guns, and blast those iron bumps to Lao Tzu, damn it, it's a pity that the distance is farther, otherwise a few bazookas will go down, and it will end up in a flash!" ”
