In the shadow of the fire, the smoke turned a dark red.

It's like hell, right at the head of the city of Taierzhuang.

The smell of burnt human flesh wafted in the air, which did not attract the attention of the soldiers who survived the fire, who simply gathered their weapons and looked at the soldiers around them, as well as the smoke, dusty faces and their faceless faces.

After several hours of shelling, the female wall at the head of the city had been bombarded in pieces, but fortunately, the city wall was still standing strong and did not fall under the attack of thousands of shells.

The Chinese-style city wall is an extremely strong battle fortress, which is a long strip of bluestone, covered with a 1.5~2 meter thick brick wall, and the rammed earth structure inside the wall, although it becomes fragile in the face of 20th century artillery, but at this time it can still provide the greatest protection for the defenders.

The explosion of the armor-piercing shell will be absorbed by most of the soil layer, but the blasting shell is difficult to easily penetrate the thick brick layer because of the problem of penetration, so despite the continuous bombardment for several hours, so far, the head of the city wall has not collapsed.

If you look down from the top of the city, there are huge craters everywhere in the front and back of the city wall, however, apart from the 57 mm bomb points on the outer skin of the city wall, there are not many explosion points left on the city wall by 70 mm infantry guns and 150 mm howitzers.

The latter two are howitzers, with a high parabolic trajectory, and even if they use the top of the city wall directly, they will only blow up a large crater in the brick layer, because there is no guarantee of a repeat hit, and under the attack that consumes thousands of shells, it is impossible to blast the entire city wall open.

To deal with the Chinese-style city wall, it may be necessary to use aircraft to drop large armor-piercing shells to attack, which can penetrate deep into the city wall and explode, thus actually destroying the city wall.

The attack of air force also has the problem of impact point, and when I think of it, it will be better to deal with such a wall, or a relatively accurate dive bomber like the German Stukka.

"Ah...... Whining...... Haha......"

Among the recruits who survived the shelling on the city wall, some of them could no longer bear the mental pressure because of the continuous and fierce shelling, and the screaming man was dragged under the city wall by several soldiers, and if there were any medical guards under the city wall, he might be sent to the rear.

"Crazy, baby is scared crazy!"

The veteran glanced at it, said something indifferently, and then stared at the fields beneath the city, which had begun to sink into darkness.

By the last touch of the sunset, the bodies of the Japanese soldiers killed in the afternoon could be seen to be removed from the battlefield, and in the distance, nothing could be seen, except that the thick-eyed recruits, who had experienced the artillery fire, seemed to be able to sense that some wild beast was hiding in the falling night.

"Be careful at night, the night attack of the little devil is full of power!"

When the night finally came, he could no longer distinguish the five views of people, but the heart of the thick-eyed and big-eyed recruit jumped "dong dong", because the night had completely enveloped his left and right, and the reassuring face of the veteran could no longer be seen.

"Don't run around when you open it for a while, shoot where there are guns, and change places after shooting a row of bullets!"

The veteran lowered his voice and whispered into the ear of the thick-eyed recruit, who had never been trained for a night battle, which made the thick-eyed and big-eyed recruit nervous, and under such tension, the smoke with the smell of corpses had been completely forgotten by him.

"Devil...... The devil is coming up......"

Before the old soldier's words fell, someone's shouts could be heard from the top of the city in complete darkness.

Almost at the same time as the shouting, a violent explosion rang out.

In the light of the explosion, a part of the wall could be seen moving diagonally downward, and the Chinese soldiers who fell along with the wall let out a frightened scream.

The light was only for a moment, and then dissipated into the sound of "boom", and almost at the same time, the machine guns under the city rang out, and tracer bullets streaked out a line of light similar to electric light in the night, and the dark red ballistic trajectory swept over the sides of the soldiers on the city.

The collapse of the city wall occurred not far to the right of the thick-eyed recruits, and although the artillery fire did not destroy the wall, many of the bunkers on the wall were destroyed, and the soldiers had to lie down in the ruins and open fire on the city.

"Don't, don't shoot, you can't hit the machine gun, the bullets will run out in a while, if you are crying, you are ready to have grenades, and you will beat those little devils fiercely, if they go to the city, they will cut them with a big knife!"

The veteran scolded in a rough voice and continued to teach his soldiers.

In such a battle at night, or grenades are a better weapon, and firing may attract the opponent's machine guns, artillery, or grenadiers, and attacking the opponent's machine gun with rifle fire is a stupid thing, because the opponent's machine gun must be in a well-covered place, and it is even less likely to be hit in the dark.

Suppressing the right machine-gun fire, that is the task of the machine guns in the city, if the infantry fights blindly, it is not possible to recruit grenadiers to the previous guy, I am afraid that an infantry squad will not survive a few people.

"I haven't practiced it with a big knife!"

Behind the thick-eyed and big-eyed recruit, he also carried a big knife on his back, but his big knife was not tied with a red strip of cloth, not that he couldn't find it, but because of the order of the veteran squad leader, he didn't dare to hang it, and he felt a little uncomfortable, but he was a recruit, and he didn't dare not do what the veteran said.

"Breaking the edge and eight knives", this thing is the tradition of the Northwest Army, but it is a pity that the thick-eyed and big-eyed recruits have not received training at all, and only after being assigned to the old squad leader, they have learned to use both hands.

"Boom ......"

I don't know who threw out the grenade exploded, and in the flash of that explosion, a group of yellow military uniforms appeared in front of me.

"Thunder!"

Suddenly, in the background of the firelight, the figure of the old squad leader flashed, holding one of his arms, but in his hand was a terracotta grenade, which, as we mentioned earlier, was a light and spaceless cylindrical terracotta grenade, which each soldier could pack a large pile with a small satchel.

Just as the flash was about to go out, several grenades flew out of the hands of the sturdy backs in the firelight.

"Boom ......"

The explosion of the terracotta grenade was different from the grenades of the past, and in the continuous flickering firelight, you could see Japanese soldiers in yellow uniforms who had to be blown up.

"Fight, use those dogs. Exercise. Target! ”

Some people complain that there is too much foul language in the war, probably this is a kind of extremely hypocritical person who has been over-educated in Confucian culture.

War is iron and blood, it is the last cry of life, foul language, it is really a normal situation, and a war without foul language is a strange war, even a hypocritical war.

There is no image of "tall and complete" in the war, and there are only the final cries of iron and blood for the sake of one's own life and dignity.

At this moment, near the collapsed city wall in Taierzhuang, it can be described as lightning and thunder, because of the number of terracotta grenades, the grenades dropped by the soldiers on the city head, can be described as "raining".

As we said, terracotta grenades are all extremely cheap and can be mass-produced using the most rudimentary handicrafts, except for explosives, so Li Zongren learned the lesson of the Battle of Tengxian and equipped the defenders of Taierzhuang with a large number of terracotta grenades.

Precisely, in addition to the famous broadsword, the Northwest Army liked to use box guns and grenades the most, and their assaults were often pistol teams with grenades on their bodies, so now with a sufficient number of terracotta grenades, it made it easier to defend the city.

Don't look at the terracotta grenade is not as long as an ordinary grenade, but its charge is not at all smaller than that of an ordinary grenade, and, because of the use of prefabricated fragmentation technology, this terracotta grenade is not at all less lethal than a grenade.

In fact, the reason why the Chinese army used long-handled grenades at that time was that the Chinese army was extremely short of artillery, and even the number of artillery equipped by the so-called German armourers was far from the standard.

Short-sighted people can't understand the cats in it, and it is impossible to see its essence through the phenomenon.

The essence of this choice is that China, as the world's most populous country, is not a problem for leaders to worry about, so there is no need for "rule of law", "democracy", and "justice".

In fact, as we have described, the relationship between the state and the people is like "falling in love", and unrequited love is, after all, a minority that cannot last long, and when the chairman of the National People's Congress loses all his reverence, he has to go to a corner of Taiwan.

It is the true performance of the so-called "water can carry a boat, but it can also capsize a boat".

I don't know if the chairman of the committee came to his senses later, because if according to his classification, Einstein, a person without an official title, is considered a "generation of grass and trees".

Anyway, at this moment, the worthless terracotta grenades on the city were falling as if it were raining.

According to the order of the commander of the Seya detachment, Major General Seya Kei, the Japanese soldiers, who were approaching in the dark, were a little helpless in the face of the rain-like grenades on the castle.

The darkness of the night became the best cover for the Chinese soldiers at the head of the city, and when the grenades were thrown down like stones that did not cost money, the infantrymen, who were as strong as devil soldiers, still carried the wounded that could be saved, and retreated from the line of fire.

Because the Chinese soldiers who threw grenades could not be seen in the dark night, the grenade attack did not know which direction it came from, the machine gun fire support did not know where to hit, and the grenadiers did not know where to bombard, and the devil soldiers were not stupid, and if they wanted to climb the breakthrough in the face of such a situation, it would be meaningless to send them to death.

What they needed was flares, they needed artillery support.

"...... Uproar"

The flares in the sky were like turning on a light, and the battlefield instantly appeared in the eyes of the Chinese defenders at the head of the city.

At this time, the veteran squad leader shouted again.

"It's fired, the devil is going to fire!"

During the Sino-Japanese War, the accuracy of artillery was quite low, and although the Japanese army besieging the city used everything from 57 mm tank guns to 150 mm heavy artillery, the walls of Taierzhuang still stood tall in this dark red smoke.
