The soldiers defending the city observe the smoke from the "periscope viewing glass". The squad leaders wondered if the clay thing would work.

The Japanese soldiers outside the smoke under the city were also staring at the smoke, guessing in their hearts what it was like in the smoke.

When everyone's eyes are focused on the smoke, the smoke is like another world.

Yes, it's like a hellish world.

The blazing flames of the explosion washed over the ground, but those who were lying underground could no longer feel it. Because in the explosion, the first thing to be washed out by the shock wave was the iron sand in the clay. They screeched and came down from the sky like a large umbrella.

As some of the prefabricated fragments hit the ground, others rushed into the human body. The men crouched in the ground screaming, there was no way for them to dodge this weapon, which was designed to slaughter infantry.

Note the difference between this and shrapnel. The shell rush is to drill into the ground and explode, even if it is an instantaneous fuse, because the kinetic energy of the shell itself has to be more or less drilled into the ground. And because of the reflection of the ground, the explosion of artillery shells and bombs will definitely have an angle.

Therefore, whether it is a bomb or a bomb, there is always a probability problem for the killing or injury of personnel. And it is worth noting that in the killing range of artillery shells, in fact, more people die from high-temperature, high-pressure, and shock waves when explosives explode.

But the slaughter of infantry by air-burst grenades is another matter. As long as it is within the scope of the explosion, death may not be certain, but it is impossible to escape the result of injury. If it is a covering attack with a large number of small grenades, the result is a different matter.

The sky was obscured by fragments of "hail personnel bombs" that were already dense because of the salvo. The gas of the "hail personnel personnel bomb" that exploded 5 meters above the ground does not matter even if you are not wearing body armor. But the shrapnel that burned together in the clay and in the fire became "deadly raindrops" at this time.

Even because of the covering salvo carried out by the defenders at the head of the city for testing, those shrapnel were not much less dense than the raindrops.

At this time, most of the Kuomintang troops were short of formation, and the so-called establishment was not complete at all. As we said, because the government is short of supplies, the officers sometimes have to eat some of this empty pay to solve practical problems. Of course, if you don't solve the problem, there are ** people who take the opportunity to fish in troubled waters, or "if the water is clear, there is no fish" is their favorite words.

Therefore, the infantry of a battalion at the head of the city was in fact far from being fully established. Despite this, there were as many as 400 "hail personnel personnel bullets" thrown on the heads of the three squads that were advancing. As for the area covered, it is also easy to convert according to the area covered in the previous chapter, or according to the damage range of 5 meters in diameter.

All the Japanese soldiers lying underground in all the blast areas, both veterans and new recruits, were hit by at least 2~3 shrapnel at this moment. If there are many, they will be directly beaten and sieved.

In fact, the Japanese should feel lucky, this is not the anti-infantry bomb dropped by the American B52 strategic bomber in the future. When the thing was dropped, the submunitions covered an area of 16 square kilometers.

But the 400 or so "hail personnel personnel anti-personnel bombs" in front of him have completely covered all the areas of the skirmish line opened by a small team.

Therefore, when the smoke cleared under the light breeze, the tragic scene on the battlefield was exposed.

There were 10,000 pieces of corpses underground, blackened by blood and smoke. Even the trees around them had most of their branches and leaves knocked off. The branches reaching out to the sky were like a bony hand, in stark contrast to the arms of the few wounded on the ground, who stretched out their arms to greet the ambulances.

On the desolate, bloody battlefield, with the breeze blowing through is a faint sadness.

A kind of tragic fear of the death of a rabbit and a fox instantly made the Japanese soldiers who attacked Taierzhuang dissipate their original momentum like a rainbow.

This is not to blame for the "bushido spirit" education of the Japanese army, which is the primitive nature of human beings. When faced with the unknown, the first emotion that arises is fear.

"Obediently, this hail is not called by the wrong name, look at this killing field, it is enough for a little devil to drink a pot!"

The veteran squad leader admired and once again let go of the "periscope observation glass" in his hand, so that the soldiers under his command could take a look.

"Hey, puppy. Day. Yes, it's cool now! ”

The pleasure of the soldiers is often followed by a cheerful foul mouth.

With everyone's excitement, the "periscope observation scope" finally reached the hands of the thick-eyed recruits.

"I. Day. He. Mother......"

As a recruit, he was not embarrassed, like the veterans, he "scolded" what he said in his heart, but he also said a foul word happily in his heart. At the same time, there is also a glimmer of hope in my heart, a glimmer of hope to live.

Just before the start of the war, the price of the bloody battle in Tengxian County had already made them determined to die in their hearts. As officers used to say in the Great Patriotic War in the Soviet Union, "when death stands in the back, people pounce on machine guns."

Therefore, before the start of the war, the recruits were admonished. Whoever escapes from the battle is shot on the spot.

But now, when they saw the little devils at a loss in the face of the city wall of Taierzhuang, the hearts of the thick-eyed and big-eyed recruits swelled with hope to live.

"Hey, boy, don't be happy for too long. I think it won't be long before the cannon of the devil soldiers will come, everyone pay more attention and take turns to observe! ”

————————————————————————————————————— Seya detachment of the Isoya Division under the city, in the face of such a city, they had to stop their offensive for the first time in the Battle of Xuzhou. If you can't find a way to deal with that weapon, it's almost impossible to conquer the city in front of you.

When the infantry is forward, it is true that they have to open a skirmish line of 10~15 meters, but if the other side uses such extreme firepower to blockade. Then the attack will undoubtedly end in failure, and the most troublesome thing is that no one knows what the weapon in front of them is.

The Seya detachment sent a telegram requesting support from bombers and artillery fire, as they had to capture Taierzhuang.

Although Taierzhuang is called Zhuang, it has a complete city wall, but it is the main support point of the nearby position. Therefore, the Seya detachment of the Isoya Division, which had arrived here, and the tank brigade that had arrived in advance immediately launched an attack.

The Chinese military's view on resisting the wall is the consistent view of the Japanese military.

Indeed, the Chinese-style city wall also caused a lot of trouble for the Japanese army, and relying on the city wall to resist was often the preferred means of the Chinese army in defensive operations. The tall walls of the city often served as a defense hub for nearby trenches and pillboxes because they used direct fire weapons such as machine guns to attack and use the power of rifles.

The Japanese army is mainly an army army, although it has a fairly strong naval and air force. However, when the battlefield entered the Chinese mainland, the powerful naval power of the Japanese Empire was difficult to use. Without naval artillery support and naval aviation, the progress of the war slowed down.

Especially when they were confronted with weapons that they could not overcome with infantry, they had to stop.

Although they didn't know what the "hail personnel anti-personnel bomb" was, they could see it, especially from the mouths of the surviving wounded soldiers, when they heard that it was an air-burst grenade, Major General Seya Kei of the Seya detachment couldn't help but feel worried.

The Seya detachment has a good number of troops, among the strength of more than 8,000 people, there are two squadrons of light tanks, and there is also enough artillery.

But what he was dealing with was a whole group army of China. Of course, in his thinking, the Chinese army is not considered a mortal threat. However, in the face of the stronghold of the other party's conscription, as well as the weapons he had never heard of, he had to think carefully.

That kind of small air-burst grenade, of course, there is no way to attack his tank. However, without infantry accompanied by tanks, it is difficult not to be destroyed by the attacks of the opposing side.

"Do we still have enough shells?"

Yorikawa Yukio Osa, the chief of staff of the Isoya Division, was temporarily sent to assist him.

The formation of the Japanese army in World War II was chaotic, and many units were temporarily redeployed to form independent units. This was not uncommon in various battlefields of the Second World War. The Seya Detachment is just such a unit strengthened on the basis of the 33rd Infantry Brigade, although the number of people is only more than 8,000, but its attack power is not much worse than that of a division.

"Yes, Your Excellency, Brigade Commander!"

"Well, in the afternoon the bombardment of the enemy's walls and fortifications on the city head began with heavy artillery, reaching a height in the evening. Tide. Our infantry, at the most intense stage of the artillery attack, made a sortie and quickly approached the walls. Hopefully, by that time the artillery has completed its task and will blast at least a gap! Just let us into the walls......"

Major General Kei Seya did not continue, and it is not difficult to see that he intends to solve the problem with night battles and white blades. This was a common tactic in the tactics of the Japanese army in World War II, especially in the face of a strong and dense army, which was the killer weapon of the Japanese army.

I don't know if the Kuomintang army, which has received new equipment, will be able to cope with such a battle.

But one thing is for sure, in the future, after the Japanese army faced the "planting of fields", the Chiyou army that has completed the re-equipment, no matter what kind of tactics they have, it will be in vain.

It's like the night battle and white-knuckle battle that you plan to use in front of you, and you can face the spider mine and the "Nail Mine - Nervous" series of mines, which is called looking for cripples. As for fighting with the Chiyou army with bayonets, it is still the same sentence, no matter how long the bayonet is, it is impossible to have a longer range than a pistol bullet.

Now that the strategy has been decided, all the officers who are holding binoculars to observe the battlefield have already put their minds at ease.

At this time, Lai Chuan Yukio Dazuo had already arranged a single team to rescue more wounded while the artillery bombarded the city wall and the city of Taierzhuang. Just what happened in front of him reminded him of a rumor. After all, the division and regimental headquarters are much better informed than the brigade headquarters.

"Seya-kun, I think you also heard about what happened in Nanjing City some time ago!"

Lai Chuan Yukio Dazuo whispered, and called his name, but did not call his rank, he understood that he wanted to say a few words to him in private.

So he took a step and left the other officers.

"What, did Lai Chuanjun hear anything?"

"Well, there are some things, I don't want to talk about rumors about high-ranking officers, but I heard that the Chiyou army in Nanjing has that kind of grenade in the air. Said 6th Division, suffered a big loss in this weapon anthrax! ”
