Lieutenant General Ito also received the good news that two infantry brigades had arrived on the battlefield.

Anxious to take Xiangfen in one go, he directly ordered: "Leave two infantry squadrons at each city gate to launch a feint, block the city gate after taking the city wall, and not let a single Eighth Route Army escape from Xiangfen!" ”

"The extra troops are concentrated on me, and I want to take Xiangfen in one go!"

The heavy artillery stopped shelling after five minutes, and the field artillery group stopped shelling after ten minutes.

Three infantry squadrons of more than 500 devils, under the cover of twice as heavy machine guns and mortars, slaughtered the city wall.

"Division commander, there are only a few sporadic Eighth Route Army on the city wall to counterattack...... The defending troops were almost blown up by us! Hearing the sporadic gunfire of the city walls, the chief of staff shouted with joy.

"This time, we will definitely be able to take down the city fortifications and enter Linfen City!" Lieutenant General Ito is also confident.

The situation on the battlefield also seemed to be more and more favorable to him, more than five hundred people, with almost no losses, easily rushed to fifty or sixty meters outside the city.

The grenadiers who were attacking with the team quickly stopped, erected the grenadiers, aimed at the head of the city, and killed the Eighth Route Army that might appear at the head of the city.

"This attack will definitely take the fortifications of the city walls...... It's all so close, and there is no Eighth Route Army on the city wall yet, they must have all been killed in the shelling just now! The smile of excitement on the chief of staff's face grew stronger.

Lieutenant General Ito's confident face also couldn't help but smile, and he had a completely victorious expression.

"Da Da Da ......"

Suddenly, a dense burst of gunfire rang out on the battlefield, startling everyone.

Lieutenant General Ito and the chief of staff quickly raised their binoculars and looked at the battlefield.

Suddenly, dozens of shooting holes the size of a brick appeared on the city wall, some of which were less than one meter from the ground, and some were more than two meters from the ground, scattered and distributed on the city wall. And these small shooting holes all spewed out a tongue of fire of different thicknesses outward.

The fluttering bullets were intertwined, forming a dense network of fire outside the city with a frontal width of more than 200 meters, flying towards the attacking troops who were close at hand.

A picture of the despair of the two appeared......

With a smile on his face, he already seemed to have seen the victorious subordinates, like mature armor, swept to the ground in pieces.

The work of explosives, the first two rows of subordinates have all been beaten into sieves, and none of them have slipped through the net.

It was only at this time that the subordinates behind reacted and threw themselves on the ground to fight back......

Dozens of more soldiers were killed in the process.

However, even if they were lying on the ground and firing back, the oncoming bullets would still burrow into their bodies.

The machine gun bunker more than two meters high is condescendingly strafing, and even if the devils are lying on their stomachs, their backs are still exposed under the muzzle!

"Artillery cover, the attacking troops will be withdrawn immediately, hurry up and ......" The dream of taking the city wall was shattered again, and the confidence on Lieutenant General Ito's face was quickly covered with gloom, and he ordered with a calm face.

In the fierce artillery fire, dozens of firing holes were quickly covered by thick gunsmoke.

The devil's attacking troops seized the opportunity and wanted to retreat. However, the smoke blocked the Heavy's view, but it couldn't stop the bullets flying out.

From the moment the devils began to retreat, the bullets flying out of dozens of shooting holes were not interrupted.

Flew through the barrier of gunsmoke and shot into the back of the little devil.

With the density of firepower, the retreating devils kept being shot, falling to the ground, and never getting up again.

Lieutenant General Ito stared at the battlefield, eager to rush up himself and blow up these machine-gun bunkers that were constantly harvesting the lives of his soldiers.

It wasn't until less than a squadron of subordinates on the battlefield withdrew that their faces looked much better. Then he continued to stare at the battlefield covered in artillery fire, gritting his teeth and ordering.

"Contact the aviation immediately, I want air support~ give me the Xiangfen city wall in front of me to to a flat bottom, and completely destroy those machine gun bunkers!"

The artillery bombardment launched by the new regiment at the former enemy headquarters made the entire regimental headquarters worried about the safety of the assault battalion. However, seeing that the attacking troops of the three squadrons of the devils had only retreated to less than one squadron, the atmosphere of joy and excitement spread across the headquarters.

"It was a good fight~ The timing of the machine gun's firing was very well grasped by Jin Kai. Although the casualties of the assault battalion were not small, it was definitely a big victory to be able to take out their three infantry squadrons under the heavy artillery bombardment of the devils......" Wang Ping said happily.

But soon, his face returned to seriousness: "However, we have also taken a lot of risks to be able to fight like this!" ”

"If the devils had used tanks and armored vehicles in their attack just now, the outcome would definitely not have been like this."

"One is not good, the little devil has now entered Xiangfen City under the cover of a tank and started fighting with us in the streets!"

The chief of staff, immersed in victory, suddenly reacted: "Yes...... I almost forgot about the Devil's Tank Brigade...... Regiment commander, why didn't the devil use tanks in the attack just now...... And the retreat just now, if they send out tanks to cover, there will definitely be more troops who can retreat! ”

Wang Ping thought about it and analyzed: "I guess there are two reasons! ”

"Before the attack, the commander of the devil division believed too much in the heavy artillery in his hand! Thinking that with them, the infantry in his hands can be matched. In addition, the chariot brigade only cooperated with them and was not subordinate to his division, and the commander of the devil's division was of course unwilling to let outsiders take a part of it. ”

"As for the retreat just now, if I guessed correctly, he was scared and had concerns about the city wall defended by the assault battalion!"

"We can hollow out the walls and prepare dozens of machine-gun bunkers for them. It would also be possible to prepare some traps on the walls for his chariot troops...... Compared to the loss of some infantry, he certainly will not let a tank that is more precious than heavy artillery put in danger! ”

After finishing it, Wang Ping ordered: "We have suffered two defeats in a row, lost three infantry squadrons, and the heavy artillery can't help the bunker we hide in the city wall." If nothing else, the devil is going to use the plane next......"

"Order Jin Kai to abandon the city wall, and all the troops will enter the city to fight street battles with devils."

"Order Li Wen, prepare all the things I asked him to prepare, and I will notify him to light it before the devil bombs us!"

"Order the air defense battalion to prepare for battle with the company as a unit~ At this time, the air defense battalion is facing the devil plane for the first time, I hope they can win the flag and shoot down at least one little devil plane!"

Zhong Chenggong didn't expect that the devil plane was also the target of the regiment commander this time, so he was stunned for a moment and asked: "The regiment commander, you want to fight the devil plane!" ”

"What am I doing when I set up an air defense battalion if I don't fight...... They have been arrogant above us for so long, and they should also teach them a lesson, so that they will never dare to fly against our scalp unscrupulously in the future, and they simply don't take our Eighth Route Army seriously. ”

Seeing the worried look in Zhong Chenggong's eyes, Wang Ping hurriedly comforted: "Although our Eighth Route Army has no experience in fighting devil planes, but this time you can rest assured, I will definitely shoot down a ......."

"Now that the pockets are ready for them, just wait for the little devil to come out of the nest~"
