At three o'clock in the afternoon, the devils completed the artillery preparations before the attack.

"Your Excellency, the attack is ready."

Soon, the reports of the various attack tactical detachments on the Devil's Front were compiled to Commander Yamaguchi Akamatsu.

Commander Yamaguchi Akamatsu looked at Huaiyin in ruins, his eyes full of fierce murderous aura.

This time, he wanted to wipe out the remnants of the Northern Jiangsu guerrillas in the city in one fell swoop, retake Huaiyin, and rebuild the military prestige of the Japanese Imperial Army.

"Let's get started." Commander Akamatsu Yamaguchi gave the order to attack.

"Hello!"

The devil's combat staff officer nodded to the flag soldier next to him, and the flag soldier immediately waved the small flag in his hand to convey the attack order of the commander Yamaguchi Akamatsu.

The four 75mm mountain guns arranged in the fields outside Huaiyin City had already been marked to shoot Zhu Yuan, and after seeing the banner of the flag soldiers, they immediately took action, and the shells slid into the barrels.

With the strange screams of the devil's artillery commander, the four 75mm mountain guns suddenly released a cloud of red light, and the shells flew out with a whistling, and the huge recoil force during firing made the steel plates on the ground deeply embedded in the soil.

"Boom! Bang! ”

Soon, the cannonballs smashed into the city with a terrifying aura like gold cracking stones, making a deafening roar, and the earth shook suddenly.

Four scorching mushroom clouds suddenly soared into the air, and the waves of the explosion swept in all directions in a radial manner, shattering all the rubble and windows in an instant.

Behind the bunkers, the brethren were enveloped in billowing smoke, scorching fragments and rubble falling like rain, and their bodies were covered in a thick layer of dust.

The brethren's ears were temporarily deaf in the explosion, they could not hear anything, the smoke obscured their vision, their eyes were dark, and their whole body was knocked out of balance by the shock wave of the air wave, and they fell to the ground.

When the brothers did not feel the tremors, they dusted off their thick bodies and turned their heads to see that the houses behind them had completely disappeared and had been razed to the ground by shells, which made the brothers look horrified.

"Dog's day little devils, they're bombarding indiscriminately."

Yang Ling and the others were lying in ambush on the street behind them, and they were cursing fiercely when they saw several houses disappearing from view in the smoke and dust rising in front of them.

"Little devils are originally two-legged beasts, and there is nothing they can't do." In the face of the indiscriminate bombardment of devils, some people are not surprised.

"Let the brothers disperse a little more, it looks like the little devil is going to play with his life this time."

Seeing that the devil came up was bombarded by several 75mm mountain guns, Yang Ling's face also became solemn.

After the devil completed the first shot, under the guidance of the artillery observer, he quickly revised the shooting parameters, and only five minutes later, the mountain artillery roared again.

This time, the devil completely let go of the fighting, and one after another cannonballs with a destructive aura launched a fierce bombardment on Huaiyin, and mushroom clouds rolled and rose.

The brothers who were ambushed in the ruins were also unlucky enough to be hit by the devil's forehead cannonball, and the whole thing was directly blown into pieces, and the flesh and blood flew everywhere, and they didn't even have time to scream.

Although the Northern Jiangsu Guerrilla Corps was quite strong compared to other Chinese armies, it was equipped with all 38 rifles, grenadiers, machine guns and other weapons.

But in terms of heavy weapons, compared with the little devils, they are more than one grade behind, and in the face of the mountain artillery bombardment of the devils, they don't even have the strength to resist, so they can only bear it silently.

"We must blow up these cannons when we turn around, the threat to us is too great."

Faced with the scorching heat and choking waves of popularity, Yang Ling was a little angry.

The bombardment of the devils caused smoke and dust to billow in the city, and most of the places were shrouded in thick gunsmoke, and the view was greatly obstructed.

The devils of the Yamaguchi Brigade launched a surprise attack on Huaiyin, and they thought that they could easily take it down, but after a day of fighting, they still fell into a state of stalemate, and they lost a lot of people.

The shelling of the devils was very ferocious, and many buildings in the city were directly smashed like fragile tofu.

Fortunately, most of the civilians in the fighting area have escaped, otherwise I don't know how many casualties will be caused by this shelling.

The brethren in the midst of the explosion could not hear or see anything, and by the time they had come out of the chaos, they had been almost flattened around them.

As far as the eye can see, there are only a few lonely broken walls and sloping columns, which also look crumbling.

Although the Devil Brigade temporarily dispatched four mountain guns to the Yamaguchi Brigade to help in the battle, it was only a base number of shells, so they didn't dare to waste too much, and stopped the shelling when they saw that it was almost over.

After the shelling, almost more than 500 devils divided into several offensive echelons, and with the guidance of the commander's saber, they pulled away from the skirmish line and began to advance towards the ruins.

"The devil is coming!"

While the gray-headed and mud-monkey-like brothers were busy digging out of the rubble and burying the collapsed buildings, they saw a large number of shadows in the smoke of gunpowder in the distance.

"Send the wounded to the rear, and the rest get ready to fight!"

The platoon commander, who was responsible for luring the devils at the front, had a smack on his cheek when he was splashed by the bombardment, and at the moment it was mixed with dust, and he looked slimy, and he couldn't see his expression clearly.

Several brothers carried the wounded brothers on their backs and ran back, while the rest of the brothers grabbed their guns one after another, looking for cover on the spot, and soon the muzzles of more than 30 rifles were aimed at the devil from different directions.

The devil soldiers searched and advanced through the ruins with bayonets, their battle line was very wide, and it was divided into several offensive echelons, separated by about two hundred meters from each other.

Once the front is suppressed, the rear echelon can quickly flank or forward support, if the front cannot be blocked, the rear echelon can also quickly build a defensive line on the spot and stabilize the position.

This offensive formation of the devil can be said to be tried-and-tested, looking at this attack formation of the devil, the platoon commander who was ambushed in the ruins sneered, no matter how shrewd the devils are, in this ruin, they are destined to return home.

"Hit!"

Seeing that the first echelon of the little devils had already entered the firing range, the platoon commander gave the order to attack while shouting the order.

"Bang ......"

More than 30 rifles were fired, and suddenly the dull sound of gunfire became a one, and when the devils in front of them, who were hunched over alternately to cover the advance, just stood up from behind the bombed ruins and were about to rush behind a rotten wall, the bullets popped into their bodies, bursting out of a cloud of blood mist, and these devils fell to the ruins in various postures under the impact of the bullets.

"Ahh

There were also devils who were not hit by the vital point, dragging their bloody legs, screaming and trying to crawl back behind the bunker.

But soon, a lot of bullets flew towards these ghost soldiers who were still wriggling on the ground, and streams of blood flew out, and the devils completely lost their breath.

When the devil behind heard the gunshot, he almost reflexively seemed to lie down and shoot back at the place where the gun rang out, and for a while the bullets flew across the ruins, splashing smoke and dust, and from time to time someone was shot and fell to the ground.

"Machine gun suppression!"

"Grenadiers bombarded their fire support points!"

"The first detachment, the second detachment is ready for an assault!"

The commander of the devil was not a straw bag, and under such a fierce shelling, he even encountered resistance, and he was only stunned for a few seconds before issuing a series of effective counterattack orders.
