The shield front continued to advance unhurriedly.

Because it still did not enter the effective range of the fast gun, there was still no gunshot.

Because Xiang Jia adopted the tactics of guerrilla artillery bombardment, although it effectively avoided the direct attack of the Wang family's artillery fire, there were gains and losses, and the accuracy of the earthen artillery was originally low, and the accuracy of this swimming could not be mentioned at all. In this way, there is much less pressure on the shield front.

Pete's face was solemn, and he gritted his teeth and looked through the telescope at all directions in Tuguan City, from time to time, fiery red cannonballs streaked across the sky like lines, falling towards the shield line...... To tell the truth, Pete really couldn't do anything about the artillery bombardment of his family for a while - the point was that he used nine shells to carry out a fixed-point attack on an earthen cannon, and not to mention the result, this kind of consumption alone was too cost-effective.

"Pete, you don't have to blame yourself too much, the other party's tactics are really difficult to crack."

Hearing Wang Shihua's consolation, Pete glanced at him angrily, snorted heavily, but ordered the communication soldiers on the side: "Let all the artillery stop attacking, but be prepared...... Let the shield array hurry up and stop when it is a hundred meters away from the earth pass......"

This is a slight change from the original plan, so Pete is only the commander of the artillery battalion, not the commander-in-chief, and has no authority to give such an order. Therefore, the communication soldier looked at Wang Shihua, and it was not until Wang Shihua nodded slightly that he hurriedly gave the order.

But he put down the binoculars, sat on the ground, took out two homemade cigars from his pocket, handed one to Wang Shihua, and Wang Shihua refused, so he enjoyed it alone, but his face was still solemn, and his eyes were always fixed on the battlefield.

"Pete, what are your plans?"

"Master of the house, to be honest, their hands are indeed beautiful, and I can't do anything about them for a while...... Of course, if we could have made our own shells without fear of wasting them, I would have cleaned them up a long time ago. But now, we only rely on reserves, and use a few shells to exchange for an earthen cannon, this transaction is really not cost-effective......" Speaking of this, Pete glanced at Wang Shihua and said: "No matter what deployment the other party makes, their ultimate goal is to prevent the shield array from approaching, so I let the shield array stop a hundred meters before the opponent, in order to let the shield array be used as bait, to lure the opponent's cannon to stop and eat the bait, and then I can reduce it in one fell swoop." ”

After speaking, his voice suddenly became much lower: "Family master, actually, I am more worried about the other party's small steel cannon." ”

Wang Shihua nodded, glanced at the battlefield, and sat down next to Pete.

"Pete, do you really want to go back home?"

Since two months ago, Pete received a telegram from a friend saying that the Allies had counterattacked, and Pete proposed to Wang Shihua to return to China to participate in the war and defend his hometown, but Wang Shihua refused on the grounds that Pete's second child was born less than a month ago and was not easy to travel long distances. Now, Wang Shihua wants to talk to him.

"My lord, I am not accustomed to what the Führer has done, so I refused their order to return home at the beginning of the war, but I love the homeland where I was born and raised, and now that it is likely to be invaded by the enemy, I must go back to defend my homeland......"

Not to mention justice and evil, from a personal point of view, Pete's behavior of only defending his hometown from being burned is the work of a big husband.

Wang Shihua thought about it, nodded, sighed, and said, "When this battle is over, you will leave." However, no matter what you do outside, or when you feel like you can't do anything, the door of my royal house is always open for you, and you are always welcome to return. ”

"Thank you!" Pete took a sharp puff of his cigarette, and as the smoke slowly exhaled, he sighed: "Master, I have been here for seven years, and the people here are simple and friendly...... Thanks to your care, I spent the happiest seven years of my life, and to be honest, I was really reluctant to leave......"

Speaking of this, Pete's eyes turned a little red, and he couldn't speak for a while.

Wang Shihua smiled and patted his back, and said: "Don't be so sad, with your kid's means, I believe that even if you are surrounded by thousands of troops, you can still live alive, and when the time comes, you will come back." ”

Seeing Pete nodding slightly, Wang Shihua asked, "Mary and I, two godsons, what are you going to arrange?" ”

Pete had obviously thought about it a long time ago, smiled faintly, and said, "Mary insists on going back with me, but I think it's too dangerous." When the time comes, please take care of them...... Anyway, as long as I don't die, I'll be back sooner or later. ”

"I don't bother to care if you die or not, anyway, my two godsons I will definitely not treat them badly."

"Thank you!"

Immediately, neither of them spoke, quietly watching the battlefield.

When the shield line advanced to a stop about 100 meters away from Tuguan City, Wang Shihua immediately ordered: "Except for artillery, the rest of the weapons will immediately suppress the enemy's forward positions with fire, and the sappers and militia can start to move." ”

"Boom! Rumble! Boom ......"

"Poof! Scold! ......"

"Da! Da! Da ......"

"Bang! Bang! Bang......"

Twenty-two small steel cannons, eighteen heavy machine guns, fifty-eight light machine guns, and countless long guns and short cannons fired almost simultaneously, instantly making the originally sparse battlefield atmosphere extremely intense.

And Xiang family was not to be outdone, they had long been ready to fight back, and immediately braved the rain of bullets and bullets to fight back desperately...... For a time, bullets shuttled like a net, and shells came and went like a rainbow in the sky. Explosions, gunshots, howls...... Immediately flooded the entire battlefield.

At this moment, countless Wang family members rushed out from behind the shield line, and in silence, quickly rushed to the bottom of Tuguan City, a hundred meters away, but in addition to carrying two grenades, most of them were carrying hoes, shovels, baskets and the like, and a few carried small boxes - this was Wang Shihua's real tool for breaking the earth pass.

With the dense gunfire, Pete stood up, looked coldly at the front of Tuguan City, when he saw the opponent's small steel cannon shell, he immediately picked up the telescope and took a closer look......

"Huh~! Shout~! Whew......"

Nine cannonballs pierced the night sky and fell far into the city.

"Boom! Rumble! Boom ......"

The sound of cannon shells exploding one after another almost muffled all the noise, as if only the neighing of shells remained between heaven and earth. Immediately after, in the trembling of the earth, there was the cheers of the Wang family, followed by more intensive gunfire sounds.

"Good fight!"

When he saw that the target was in a burst of fire, especially when he saw more than a dozen corpses mixed with two or three small steel cannons, all of which were blown into the air, Pete couldn't help but raise his fist high, shouted loudly, and waved his fist down heavily, shouting in relief: "Xiang Jia will be defeated!" ”

The Xiang family did miscalculate, or rather, the Xiang family's awareness of the cannon was far from enough, thinking that the more powerful the better, they thought that Pete only cared about the earth cannon. Unexpectedly, what Pete wanted was to blow up the nine small steel cannons of Xiang's family, because Pete understood very well: although the power of the earth cannon is greater than that of the small steel cannon, the accuracy is much worse, and once the shield line stops, in terms of the accuracy of the small steel cannon, it is a live target, so it is much stronger to kill the opponent's small steel cannon than to kill the opponent's cannon, in terms of reducing the threat to his side.

Sure enough, losing the support of the small steel cannons, Xiang and his family immediately turned from being weak to being suppressed by firepower -- just the 22 small steel cannons and 18 heavy machine guns fired unscrupulously, and they screamed again and again.

Seeing this, the Xiang family was forced to switch from guerrilla artillery to fixed artillery fire, and in this way, Pete was given a chance. In other words, it fell into Pitt's chain -- in fact, at that time, the four major families, who were not very accustomed to modern warfare, all believed that the tactics of crowds were much stronger than artillery shells, and therefore, the importance of artillery shells was far from enough. Including Wang Shihua, if it weren't for Pete's perseverance in making him realize the importance of heavy weapons, he would still stay at the stage where the more powerful the better, thus ignoring the importance of accuracy.

Pete stared at the front of Tuguan City without blinking, when the earthen cannon of Xiangjia kept firing cannonballs in the gathering, hitting the shield line, Pete observed without changing his face, even though he heard the faint screams of the Wang family in his ears.

However, when he saw four or five shells suddenly fired from a certain point, he immediately reported the coordinates through the headset......

"Huh~! Shout~! Whew......"

The nine-shot mountain cannon shells once again pierced the night sky and fell far away towards the coordinate point in Tuguan City.

"Boom! Rumble! Boom ......"

The shells fell, bursting into continuous explosions, and their abnormalities all indicated that the shells of the earthen artillery had been blown up.

Watching the continuous flashing of firelight, listening to the violent explosions, and feeling the slight tremor of the earth, Pete raised his fist at the explosion point, his face was hideous, his eyes were full of excitement, and he screamed: "You guys hide again, hide again?" Let's see if Lao Tzu can't blow it up and kill you......"

Soon, when three more earth cannons gathered together were keenly captured by Pete, and then destroyed by nine mountain artillery shells, Xiang's family finally realized that gathering together was equivalent to using mountain artillery as a target. In desperation, they had no choice but to revert to their previous mobile artillery bombardment tactics.

But in this way, the attack on the Wang family's shield line is much weaker, so that the Wang family's weapons can unscrupulously attack the forward positions of Tuguan City.

As soon as Pete saw that he had learned from his family, he also gave up the tactics of fixed-point strikes, and instead ordered a direct attack on the forward positions of Tuguan City. In this way, the life of the Xiang family on the front line of Tuguan City, which had no power to fight back, was even more difficult, and they were almost only beaten and had no chance to fight back. On the forward position of Tuguan City, the flames of explosions can be seen everywhere, screams everywhere, and ruins everywhere......

Those Wang sappers and militiamen who had already rushed to the city of Tuguan immediately divided into multiple groups according to the prior arrangement, wielded this hoe, and desperately dug and transported the earth...... Soon, the four large holes were stretching forward little by little.

I have to say that the weapons of the Xiang family are no longer on the same level as the Wang family's fundamentals, especially after losing the support of most of the small steel cannons and some earth cannons, they are really out of absolute disadvantage. But will they really be helpless and admit defeat?

The most tragic blow to the sappers and militia of the royal family, and to the bombardiers who threw bombards to their homes, arrived......
