"Sudden Sudden Sudden ......"

Gray Japanese fighters swooped down in the sky, and the continuous bullets seemed to draw lines in the ground. The line starts inside the city and runs outside the city. Near the bullet marks, a few soldiers in gray cloth uniforms fell crookedly.

On the ring of the broadsword on their shoulders, pieces of red cloth shook in the wind. It seems that they regret that they can't really fight the devil hand-to-hand and can't show their skills.

The war was brutal, but it was not the same as the "Nanjing Massacre", which was a massacre, looting and forcible massacre against soldiers and civilians who had laid down their arms. Compared with rape, the cruelty on the battlefield is much simpler.

At the head of the city was still the 1st Battalion of the 186th Regiment, and although the casualties were much greater than when the battle began, the entire regiment remained basically intact.

This was the most outstanding battle fought by the defenders of a regiment in China against the Japanese army's aircraft, artillery, and tanks after the official start of the War of Resistance Against Japan. After all, in the face of the disparity in weapons of the Japanese army, the Chinese army all suffered a heavy defeat or a crushing victory in the proportion of heavy casualties.

In the battle under the city of Taierzhuang, the losses of the Kuomintang army were close to the losses of the Japanese army for the first time, and there was even the possibility of overtaking!

However, at this moment, the battle situation under the city of Taierzhuang is not optimistic, once one detachment has now become two, and the Japanese troops have also increased from more than 10,000 people in the past to about 20,000. The number of weapons, including heavy artillery, tanks, etc., has increased exponentially for this reason.

Relatively speaking, the number of defenders in Taierzhuang City was weak because of this, especially since the Japanese army's attack this time was significantly different from the previous attacks.

After the last aerial strafing and bombardment of the evening, there was a succession of shelling.

This kind of attack began last night and ended early this morning, and then there was a series of attacks by planes, strafing and dropping bombs.

Under such circumstances, the casualties of the defenders continued to increase. More importantly, some of the "gasoline barrel cannons" and "accordions-multi-barrel grenadiers" were destroyed, and the pontoon bridge connecting the canal was also reduced to pieces in the bombardment.

The interruption of supplies caused a rapid decline in the combat capability of the defenders. Originally, the training of the Chinese army was very inadequate compared to that of the Japanese army, and the Second Army, which was urgently transferred from Henan, had many untrained recruits because of the losses in Shanxi, and the overall combat quality further declined.

If it weren't for the "Hail Personnel Kill Bomb", a weapon that can be used to cover attacks at any time, I am afraid that Taierzhuang would be as brutal as it was in history.

But now, so many days have passed, Taierzhuang is still the fifth commander of the crown to defend the city, and although his subordinates have suffered certain losses, they are still basically intact in terms of establishment.

So will they be able to hold on tonight?

Rows of shells fell on the city walls, and this time it was clear that the Japanese troops besieging the city had laid a lot of money. Not only the 57 mm guns of the tanks, but also the Type 92 infantry guns and 37 mm anti-aircraft guns, all of which attacked the city walls. In the wilderness, which was full of war, several were lit up on the city walls by lamp. That is, it affected the observation of the defenders, and at the same time indicated the target to the gunners of the Japanese military.

Shells fell in spots, especially those anti-aircraft guns. Even if it has an ultra-long range, it attacks in an almost continuous manner.

This attack brought casualties to the defenders at the head of the city and also brought great pressure. Everyone felt that tonight was like the end of the world.

Although the thick-eyed recruits had learned to distinguish the sound of the shells flying during the shelling, they could hardly hear anything in such dense fire. Only some tsunami-like sounds can be heard. By the light that exploded from time to time, he saw the veterans beside him.

The usually confident veteran is still holding a cigarette pouch at this time. It's a pity that the trembling hand can't light the cigarette pouch pot.

"Wipe ......"

The match struck by the recruit was lit by the veteran squad leader with his hand in his hand. The other party just grinned, made a smile, and then continued to endure the almost non-stop shelling with a blank expression.

"Boom, boom, boom......"

Qi Lang swept across the city, driving away everything that could be lifted off. The women's wall at the head of the city has almost completely disappeared from the continuous attack of small-caliber anti-aircraft guns. The original fortifications on the city have been almost completely destroyed. Even the fortifications that were subsequently built with sandbags were lost under this intense artillery fire.

"It looks like the little devil is in a hurry, but unfortunately I don't know if I will be able to survive today!"

The habitual, thick-eyed, big-eyed recruit touched the little jade Buddha he was wearing around his neck again, and his former confidence had dissipated, and now his future became uncertain.

"Relief of suffering, relief of suffering, ...... of Guanyin Bodhisattva"

Amid his muttered whispered prayers, a large group of Japanese infantry outside the city was quietly approaching the walls as they attacked with artillery fire. The attack tonight was to make the Chinese defenders on the city wall frightened under the pressure of artillery fire. Not only that, but in order to attack, the three Japanese brigades that advanced were also equipped with extremely strong force.

First of all, a word about grenadiers, since the Chinese army intensively used grenadiers, which gave excellent tips to the attacking Japanese infantry. During this attack, in addition to the grenadiers that each squad already had, they were equipped with special grenadier and mortar detachments.

Type 97 90mm light mortars, in the Jiangnan battlefield in China, this type of artillery is more important to the Japanese infantry wing than the mountain artillery or field artillery of the wing. It's a pity that each wing only has 4~6 doors, and the number is really small to be negligible.

If you have watched "Band of Brothers" and "Pacific War", you will find that in the future American paratroopers and marines, 60mm mortars will be equipped with combat weapons to the front line of the company, and the number of large-caliber mortars will be even more.

In contrast, the equipment of the Japanese army can only be described as shabby. But against the Chinese army, it is naturally more advanced.

This time, the Seya detachment, which had suffered several times, almost poured out of the nest and threw all the defenses to the Sakamoto detachment. Even the latter sent an infantry wing to participate in the assault on Taierzhuang.

We know that in this battle, Taierzhuang served as the main support point for the nearby position. If it falls, then the situation on the entire front could be reversed. Therefore, both the Chinese defenders and the attacking Japanese troops hope that in tonight's battle, they can really fight each other.

————————————————————————————————————— "Devils, devils are coming up......"

Because of the blockade of artillery fire, all the defenders could only hide in the anti-artillery holes. Enduring the explosion that torments people's nerves, and can break down at any time.

However, what no one expected was that this time Little Japan played a flower job that no one dared to play.

A large group of devil soldiers successfully reached the section of the city wall illuminated by searchlights under the cover of artillery fire, and they all bowed down, ready to follow the order, and at the moment when the artillery fire stopped, they broke through the city wall that was sure to be blown down.

The shells of their own side exploded nearby. And the landing point of the shells was precisely the "flower work" played by the Japanese commander this time.

When the artillery attacked, the target of the curved artillery was the head of the city and the inside of the city. The main task was to use artillery fire to cut off the reinforcement channels from within the city to the head of the city, even after the offensive began. It will not be extended until the Japanese infantry have reached the top of the city and sent back the signal.

In addition, the main attack on the city wall was direct artillery. The cannonballs were like chisels, targeting the base and middle and lower parts of the wall. As long as a hole large enough is "chiseled" there, then the walls will collapse under their own gravity.

Finally, a sufficiently wide attack passage is a guarantee to send enough troops into the city. Even under the attack of the opponent's dense grenades and that kind of air-burst grenades, it can still maintain an advantage. And most importantly, the faster you mix with the defenders, the more difficult it will be for the support fire in the city to work.

At this point in the battle, the Seya detachment, which was tasked with the main offensive task, had become more and more deeply aware of the reality of the city defense troops. Therefore, there is a combat plan that requires a high degree of coordination among the various branches of the armed forces.

It was almost midnight and the shelling stopped as planned. At this time, the observation post at the head of the city spotted the Japanese soldiers under the city, and they began to call. But just when the people they sent out had not yet given the coordinates to the "gasoline cannons" and the "accordion-multi-barreled grenadiers" squads, the infantry in the anti-artillery holes rushed to their positions with their guns in their hands.

Suddenly, as if the sky was falling apart, the Japanese artillery group supporting the attack came with a salvo.

90-mm mortars, 37-mm anti-aircraft guns, 57-mm tank guns, 70-mm infantry guns, 150-mm heavy guns, sounded almost at the same time.

It all went according to plan, and even the time when the defenders came out of the anti-artillery holes and carried the grenade boxes to the battle positions they studied. Under such an attack, almost instantly the defenders suffered a big loss.

"Hoo ......"

Dense shelling, ballistic trajectory across the sky like a large red net down the city's head. The running defenders and the squad of "gasoline cannons" and "accordions-multi-barrel grenadiers" that had already arrived at the point below the city were almost all stunned for a moment.

"Get down ......"

The veteran squad leader's voice seemed to be being torn, and then he turned and pounced on the recruit, and the bodies of the two rolled down the slope.

"Boom...... Boom ......"

The explosion sounded, and the dense one was inaudible and innumerable. The deceived defenders kept their bodies as close to the ground as possible, desperately covering their ears and opening their mouths wide. This is a way to prevent shell-induced deafness. It's a pity that everyone is frightened and guesses that under such a density of artillery fire, such a preventive measure will work.

The human body was torn apart by the shell, and the soldier who fell in a pool of blood hugged his broken leg and wailed. But these voices were not heard at all in the continuous shelling.

Outside the city, approaching the Japanese infantry brigade, at this time began to charge. The reason why they say risky flowers is because they may be hit by their own shells at any time when they are advancing.

In a normal army, most people would not consider taking such a risk. But with the spirit of "bushido" and the tradition of absolute obedience to their superiors, the Japanese soldiers howled and pounced despite death.

Ladies and gentlemen, I would like to remind you that this is not an honor, nor is it the basis for proving that Japanese soldiers are the best soldiers. It's a mental pathology, a psychopathic gambler-like fanaticism. It's not good, it's a reflection of ignorance to the extreme.

However, under this psychotic attack, they finally reached the top of the city! "Accordion - Multi-Barrel Grenadier"
