Fucheng Town, it was noon, the sun was shining, the army built a large number of turrets and pillboxes around Fucheng Town, plus the blockade ditch, the whole Fucheng Town was like an isolated island, except for the suspension bridge in four directions, there was no entrance for entering and exiting.

Under the strong sunlight, several devil soldiers standing on the top floor of the turret were already covered with oil, although they had taken off their heavy military uniforms and were only wearing summer short-sleeved military uniforms, but they still felt extremely hot.

Two kilometers south of the town, nearly 1,000 soldiers of the 3rd Battalion of the Guard Regiment quietly moved behind a large mound of earth, which was covered with dense vegetation, which was more conducive to concealment.

At the same time, the 1st and 2nd Battalions also entered their designated positions one after another, waiting for the tank regiment and machine gun battalion to start shelling before launching a fierce attack on Fucheng Town.

At this moment, the artillerymen of the machine gun battalion began to set up the artillery in a nervous and orderly manner, and the sappers helped to build the artillery positions.

As the artillerymen counted one by one: "One is ready!" ”

"The second door is complete!"

"Three doors are complete!"

……… Li Changkong, the commander of the machine gun battalion, raised the red order flag and looked ahead with an awe-inspiring expression, and then, Li Changkong waved the command flag in his hand forward and roared: "Two rounds of rapid test firing aimed at the target!" Fire! ”

"Boom tom..." A cannon spat out a cluster of scarlet fireballs and smashed them towards the military turret.

On a turret directly south, a ghost soldier suddenly heard a whistle, and looked up to see that the dazzling scarlet fire ball had smashed down.

The devil soldier wolf howled: "Baga! Sneak attack of the Chinese army! Then the cannonball fell, and the cannonball did not fall directly on the devil's turret, but landed two meters outside the turret and exploded, raising a dazzling red light.

At this time, the two rounds of test firing of the artillery battalion had been completed, and the artillerymen began to adjust and shoot Zhu Yuan in a nervous and orderly manner, and the devils on the turret exploded.

One by one, the leaders of the devil squad immediately cried wolf and led the devil infantry in the turret into the firing position, and the devils in the town also received the news and entered the designated combat position with their guns in hand.

At this time, the machine gun battalion of the guard regiment also adjusted to shoot Zhu Yuan, and the artillerymen began to fire one after another, and the scarlet and dazzling fire balls rose into the air again and smashed towards the devil's turret.

Half an hour later, the artillery of the guard regiment poured at least dozens of tons of steel shells into the position of the army, but the effect was not good, and the guard regiment was equipped with some small-caliber guns below 10mm, and the damage caused to the devil's turret was not great.

Xu Wen, Shen Jun and others held binoculars and saw that the artillery tower of the Yue army was almost unscathed after the fierce shelling, Shen Jun frowned and said to Xu Wen: "Tuanzao, it seems that the artillery tower here is also reinforced!" Let's get the rocket artillery on the hook! ”

"Hmmm! However, order the machine gun company (anti-aircraft machine gun) to prepare for air defense in case of an air attack by devil planes! Xu Wen nodded.

Soon, the rocket artillery company received an order, and five multi-barrel 150mm caliber rocket launchers fired rapidly, and the powerful rockets immediately plunged the army's artillery towers and pillboxes into a sea of fire.

Xu Wen saw through the telescope that there were devil infantry covered in fire from time to time in the firelight, and they couldn't stop rolling until they were burned alive, and couldn't help clapping his hands and saying, "It's well burned!" Burn them to death, these dogs! ”

More than 20 minutes later, the rocket artillery company stopped shelling, and Xu Wen immediately picked up the telephone and shouted: "Attention all companies! All of them are attacking! All of them are attacking! ”

After putting down the phone in his hand, Xu Wen picked up another phone and said loudly into the microphone: "Hey, is it the head of Dong Kuiying?" I am Xu Wen, the head of the guard regiment, and now I ask your department to attack immediately! Fire support for the infantry! ”

I only heard Dong Kuiying's thick voice on the other end of the phone: "Okay!" I'll give the order to attack right away! ”

Xu Wen put down the phone snapped, only to hear that at this time, there was already a shouting of killing outside, and the soldiers shouted that the guy in his hand jumped out of the trench and rushed towards Fucheng Town, which was already full of gunsmoke.

At this time, nearly 30 Tiger tanks of the first battalion of the tank regiment also attacked, and the infantry in front automatically made way for the tanks, and the tanks took the opportunity to overtake the infantry and rush forward, so that the infantry could resist most of the bullets fired from the remnants of the army's firepower.

The heavy armor of the tank was clanging, and a series of sparks kept rising.

Soon, the tank crews searched for the remaining firepower points of the Japanese army, and began to mobilize the muzzles, and the muzzles of the black holes were aimed at a devil machine gun fire point that was roaring and spitting out tongues of fire, and the sound of "tom" cannon ejection sounded.

I saw a red light flying out, and it went straight to the point of the devil's machine gun fire.

There was a loud bang, the shell exploded, and the devil machine gun, which was still spitting out tongues of fire just now, was thrown high along with the machine gunner, and then fell down heavily.

The Devil Heavy had been shattered by the shock when he flew into the air just now, and was already a dead corpse when he landed.

"Kill...!" Seeing that the machine-gun fire point of the army had been destroyed, the soldiers immediately burst out into an astonishing shout, and began to cross the tanks with their guns and with the help of sappers, they crossed the separation ditch and began to attack the town.

Because the ditch was four or five meters wide, the Tiger tanks could not cross it, so they could only shell the Japanese army as much as they could on the periphery to provide fire support for the infantry.

However, since the infantry has been helped to break through the outer defense line of the devils and enter the street battle, the mission of the tank has been completed, and in the narrow alley, the tank really does not play much role.

Street fighting is originally [***]'s strong point, if the guard regiment can't do the second- or third-rate devil army on the opposite side in street fighting, then they will be called elite in vain.

Sure enough, after more than two hours of fierce fighting, the three main battalions of the guard regiment successfully wiped out all the remaining devil soldiers in the town and successfully occupied the strategic location of Fucheng Town.

Xu Wen stepped on the wooden plank and crossed the isolation ditch to the town, only to see that it was a mess inside, with traces of fierce battles everywhere, and some unburned wooden doors and other items were still smoking.

On the entire battlefield, there was a strong smell of blood, Xu Wen walked through the center of the town, came to the north of the town, looked at the north and said: "Chief of Staff, send electricity to the general seat!" Fucheng Town has been successfully won! ”

"Yes!" Hu Ming stood upright, then turned around and walked away quickly.

……… Former enemy headquarters of the 1st Division.

A captain signal soldier walked in quickly, and said uprightly: "General seat, staff seat, division seat!" The guard regiment called, and it had already taken Fucheng City, killed more than 500 enemies, and captured more than 30 soldiers! ”

"Oh? So fast, only three hours? Liu Cheng said with some disbelief.

"Yes! The Guard Regiment is already starting to clean up the battlefield! The captain replied.

When Zhang Mingyu heard this, he nodded silently, this was obviously what he expected, if a regiment with a demon-level artillery like rocket artillery and the assistance of the tank regiment could not defeat a small village and town guarded by only hundreds of devils, then Xu Wen, the head of the guard regiment, would not have to do it, and Zhang Mingyu had spent so much effort to cultivate him and this regiment, and it would really be in vain.

After pondering for a while, Zhang Mingyu suddenly got up and said to Zhang Biao: "Okay, the guard regiment has finished its work, and Division Commander Zhang will look at your first division next!" ”

Zhang Biao put on a dark green steel helmet for himself, and then stood up and saluted at Zhang Mingyu: "Please rest assured!" The first division will definitely complete the task on time! With that, he got up and strode out.

The forward position of the 1st Division.

Zhang Biao wore a steel helmet and held a ** sand, stood on a high place and said: "Brothers, the brothers of the guard regiment have helped us open up the way forward, and the next thing is the work that our main force should do!" Rush up without saying anything! Chopped up the little devil! Reproduce the glorious tradition of our first division, and the iron army is invincible! Use me in the first battle! Use me to win! Speaking of heights, Zhang Biao raised the submachine gun in his hand high!

"Use me in the first battle! Use me to win! The warriors raised their weapons and roared.

"Let's go!" Zhang Biao waved his hand, and then went into battle in person, leading a division and a brigade along the road towards Fucheng County. The other two brigades flanked in two roundabouts!

In Fucheng County, Major General Yangcheng Saburo, commander of the Ninth Mixed Brigade of the Chinese Army, was anxiously waiting for news from the scouts.

Because of the close proximity between the 1st Brigade and the brigade headquarters, and the telephone lines were opened, the 1st Infantry Brigade was not equipped with a radio station, leaving the radio and communications corps to other Imperial troops who were further away from the brigade headquarters.

So when it was shelled by the guard regiment, the telephone line could have been destroyed, so contact with Yojo Saburo was lost.

The reason why Yangcheng Saburo is so anxious is because the location of Fucheng Town is relatively prominent, which is directly related to the safety of Fucheng County.

Just when Yangcheng Saburo was restless, suddenly there was a sound of hurried footsteps outside the door, and only one of the several communication soldiers he sent out came back, and he was still covered in blood and crumbling, and he couldn't do it.

Yangcheng Saburo hurriedly stepped forward and grabbed the scout by the collar and shouted, "What's wrong? What is the current situation in Fucheng Town? Say it! ”

The devil scout saw that he was about to lose his breath, and he said extremely weakly: "General, Fucheng has been violently attacked by the Zhina people, and now it has been lost, and all the jade of the first brigade is shattered!" Presently... Presently... A large army of the Zhina Army is coming towards Fucheng County! And the few scouts who had passed through the lowly position had been shattered. "The words are gone, the head is tilted, and the time is overwhelming.

"Yaga Yalu!" Yangcheng Saburo threw the corpse of the scout in front of him to the ground, and roared, "Yaga Yalu! Order the 57th Wing to immediately strengthen combat readiness and prepare for battle! ”

In fact, there is only one infantry wing and one artillery brigade left in Fucheng County, plus some miscellaneous soldiers, that is, two wings of 5,000 or 6,000 people, which shows that the work of the security department is still very good.

Just after Yangcheng Saburo gave the order, the vanguard of the first division, a brigade and a regiment, had already killed it violently, and saw that the devil had closed the city gate and pulled up the drawbridge.

Niu Tiangui immediately got off a regiment to stop the attack, and waited for the artillery regiment to follow up, and about half an hour, the officers and men of the first brigade had already dug a simple trench around Fucheng, the second brigade and the third brigade had also arrived, and more than 30,000 people from the three brigades surrounded the entire county town.

With the arrival of the artillery regiment, Niu Tiangui immediately shouted at the commander of the artillery regiment: "Who is that, aiming at the city gate for Lao Tzu!" Knock it down! ”

The commander of the artillery regiment did not dare to slack off, and immediately ordered the artillerymen to build artillery positions and erect artillery.

The artillery regiment of the 1st Division is not comparable to the artillery battalion of the guard regiment, the artillery regiment of the 1st Division is a reinforced artillery regiment, with a total of 12 howitzers of 105 caliber and more than 40 mountain guns and mortars of various caliber and mortars.

In particular, the 12 102mm howitzers are much more powerful than ordinary mountain artillery, and it is not a problem to bombard the city wall.

At this time, the number of artillery pieces in the whole division of the first division was at least hundreds, including the artillery directly under the regiments and battalions.

This kind of firepower configuration is not excessive, you must know that although the first division is the name of a division, its strength has already reached the standard of an army, so it is completely reasonable to have so many artillery pieces.

In addition to the 1st Artillery Division, there is also an anti-aircraft machine gun battalion, which is under the direct jurisdiction of the division headquarters, and the rest of the regiments are equipped with machine gun battalions, which have two artillery companies and one anti-aircraft machine gun company under their jurisdiction.

About half an hour later, the artillery regiment had been prepared, especially the twelve 105mm caliber howitzers, the huge black holes and huge muzzles were hair-piercing.

With the order of the commander of the artillery regiment, dozens of various artillery pieces opened fire almost at the same time, and dozens of scarlet fireballs flew towards the head of Fucheng in a row.

The devils on the city wall were so frightened that they all ran out to dodge, "Boom! "The powerful howitzer shells slammed into the walls and exploded, and the force of the explosion made the entire wall look a little shaky.

Some of the devils were blown to pieces, and clusters of fire exploded on the city walls, and wherever the shells fell, there was a sea of fire everywhere, and large mushroom clouds rose into the air one after another.

In the headquarters of the 9th Brigade, Yangcheng Saburo listened to the deafening explosion, and was shocked in his heart, he didn't know if his 57th Infantry Wing could withstand such a fierce shelling.

At this time, the shelling outside the city was still continuing, Niu Tiangui looked at the city head that was already full of smoke and fire, and couldn't help laughing: "Okay, it's really fucking enjoyable, grandma's is really thirty years in Hedong and thirty years in Hexi!" I think that the Battle of Nanjing and the Battle of Xuzhou were all bombarded by the devils, and now it's time for the little devils to have a good taste of being bombed! Hit Lao Tzu hard, anyway, there is a general seat to pay for cannonballs, I'm afraid of an egg! ”

Fortunately, Niu Tiangui's words were not heard by Zhang Mingyu, otherwise he would not have been so angry that he vomited three liters of blood.

Finally, Yangcheng Saburo couldn't sit still, he picked up the phone and shouted, "Hey! Artillery brigades? Give me a return fire and destroy the artillery positions of the China! ~”
