"Fire!"

"Boom, boom, boom......"

A dull sound came from inside the city, and a team of imps were firing grenadiers and mortars outside the city.

As a garrison brigade, their artillery fire was only about half of that of the field infantry brigade, and the entire brigade only had a small group of artillery, and the infantry guns added up to only seven or eight, and the grenadiers gathered most of the entire brigade, so they gathered together about a dozen guns, and then fired at the outside of the city together.

Shells were fired with a screeching sound, and then fell on the ground outside the city, followed by a deafening explosion.

Although the caliber of the Japanese Army's Type 92 infantry gun is not very large, the support artillery of the basic combat unit can still give full play to the power of its infantry artillery.

In the midst of the explosion, the power inside the cannonball instantly bloomed, and the fragments hidden inside instantly shot out in all directions, and the range within a radius of seven or eight meters was all shrouded in it.

Some of the soldiers who were close were instantly hit by the fragments of the shell, and they could only let out a scream, and then threw themselves to the ground, silent.

Four or five warriors fell to the ground covered in blood, their bodies still twitching, and each of them was stuck with several or even a dozen fragments, some of which even penetrated the flesh and were stuck directly in the bones.

And the power of the explosion shattered the bodies of some fighters.

This scene instantly stunned the surrounding warriors.

Before they could come to their senses, another series of whistling sounded, and at this time, it was finally the veteran who came to his senses and shouted loudly: "Quick, everyone immediately hide behind cover, don't show your head, don't run around!" ”

Recruits are afraid of artillery, veterans are afraid of machine guns.

For veterans, artillery bombardment, as long as it is not a covering bombardment, is not much of a threat at all. What scared them the most was the machine gun, because once the machine gun sounded, the lethality caused by it was in pieces.

But for the recruits, because of their lack of actual combat experience, when the violent explosion sounded around them, many recruits could not hold back the fear in their hearts, and then shouted and ran on the battlefield indiscriminately, which is the way to death on the battlefield.

However, as long as you can overcome your fears and honestly lie in your position without showing your head, as long as your luck is not too weak, there is basically no problem.

Especially the intensity of the Japanese army's artillery attack at the moment, some veterans have come to their senses, and they feel that the artillery attack of this group of little devils is not very strong, and even seems a little sparse, and they are immediately a little puzzled.

But soon they understood that these little devils were short of shells!

At this moment, they are close to the city wall, and it is already the most critical moment for the Japanese army, and it is impossible for the Japanese army not to do it with all their strength at this time!

But at this moment, the little devil only has so much firepower, and the only thing that can be explained is that the little devil's cannonballs are insufficient!

And it's a serious shortcoming!

Behind a bunker at the back of the battlefield, Commander Liu Zhiyu also noticed this, his face showed a touch of joy, and he couldn't help but say: "The artillery fire of the little devil is very insufficient......

"This is our chance!" Luo Cheng said beside him.

"Yes! Here's our chance! Liu Zhiyu nodded, and then did not look back, and ordered: "Send a message to our artillery troops, let them find the artillery position of the little devil immediately, and then give me a meal and blow up the artillery of the little devil!" ”

"Yes!"

Naturally, there were officers behind him who answered the order, and then went down to deliver the order.

After a while, the artillery unit of the seventh column, which had received the order, had already made preparations, and determined the position and distance of the Japanese positions according to the direction from which the Japanese artillery fire came, and at the same time looking at the angle of the Japanese artillery shells.

"Debugging Zhuyuan, southeast, distance 540, test firing!" The officer of the artillery unit squinted his eyes and said in a deep voice.

As soon as the words fell, a boom was heard, and a cannonball was fired from their artillery position, and then fell directly into the city like a meteor.

"Boom~"

When the shell fell down, all the artillery accurately saw that the shell fell in the direction and position of the Japanese artillery...... Forget it, three rapid fires! ”

Although the Seventh Column now has a lot of money, after all, it used to be poor and has not yet been accustomed to the days of lavish spending, and the officers originally planned to cover the bombing, but when they thought about it, it was too wasteful, and they felt a little reluctant in their hearts, so they changed their minds and changed to three rapid fires.

However, even three rapid fires are enough!

The artillery positions of the Japanese army were not large, and their artillery fired three rounds, which could completely cover all the artillery of the little devils.

Thinking so, at this time the herald had already waved his flag and directed the artillery to start firing.

"Fire!"

"Boom, boom, boom......"

"Fire!"

"Boom, boom, boom......"

"Fire!"

"Boom, boom, boom......"

More than a dozen 85mm caliber mortars fired three salves in a row, smashing directly at the Japanese artillery positions.

The cannonballs were like meteors, dragging their long majesty, with unparalleled momentum, wrapped in the sound of wind and thunder, whistling away.

On the artillery position of the Japanese army, some little devils looked at the grenadier that was hit by a shell, and their faces showed a look of anger, and one of the officers jumped to their feet and scolded angrily: "This is a provocation, this is a provocation by the Chinese army against us!" ”

"Fight back, fight back in spite of everything! Kill the artillery of the Shina Army! ”

The little devil officer shouted loudly, but as soon as the words fell, he suddenly heard a screaming sound above his head, and he looked up meaningfully, but at this glance, he was stunned......

"It's ......"

His eyes instantly widened, like cowbells, and in an instant they became round, and his pupils contracted sharply, as if he had seen the most terrible thing in the world.

In fact, for him, what happened to him at this time was the most terrible thing in the world!

Because...... He saw a large wave of shells falling!

Fell down on his side!

"Boom ......"

It wasn't until a shell landed on the ground and exploded, killing several Japanese artillerymen, that the officer reacted, and he couldn't help shouting: "Dodge, dodge quickly!" This is the artillery strike of the Chinese army, quickly drip...... Ah~"

Before he finished speaking, he suddenly screamed, but saw that he had several fragments of the explosion of shells inserted in his body, and immediately fell to the ground screaming and wailing.

However, before he could let out a few wails, another round of shells fell, and the sound of a violent explosion instantly covered his screams......
