Mountain artillery and mortars began to fire, and they opened fire on the Japanese cover fire, and the Japanese infantry and heavy machine guns suffered heavy blows.

But the Japanese infantry didn't care about this, they quickly approached the city wall, and an infantry squadron at the front was less than a hundred meters away from the city wall, and nearly two hundred devil soldiers began to frantically approach the gap.

The more than 30 devil soldiers in front were carrying explosive bags, and they wanted to widen the gap so that the cavalry could enter the city smoothly.

"Light and heavy machine gun fire, grenadier canisters fire miniature grenades."

Seeing that the devil soldiers were about to frantically pour into the city from the gap, Yin Jin was very calm, and he immediately gave the battle order.

Six Makqin heavy machine guns of the supplementary battalion machine gun company, two Type 92 heavy machine guns of the first battalion machine gun company, and three Type 92 heavy machine guns of the three machine gun squads of the first battalion, a total of 11 heavy machine guns were all deployed on the city wall.

At the same time stationed at the city wall were the troops of the first and second companies of the 1st Battalion, two companies of 18 Czech and crooked light machine guns, 18 89 grenadiers, a total of 29 light and heavy machine guns on the city wall, and 18 grenadiers were the first to open fire.

Deputy battalion commander Liu Jingnuma personally commanded the heavy machine gun firing, and he held a telescope to observe the movements of the Japanese troops, constantly providing the direction of firing.

"Da-da-da-da." Heavy machine gun shooters strafed, and bullets quickly fired at the Japanese troops.

The ghost soldiers approaching the city wall had been excited before, but when the light and heavy machine guns began to fire, they found that they were approaching not the city wall, but hell.

Twenty-nine light and heavy machine guns launched a fierce fire, a series of fire nets shrouded the devil soldiers, this is a shooting without dead ends, rows of devil soldiers fell to the ground, just in the blink of an eye, more than 80 Japanese soldiers fell to the ground, and the rest of the Japanese soldiers quickly lay on the ground.

But even when they were lying on the ground, they still couldn't escape the bullets, which were fired from the top of the walls.

The condescending shooting cost the Devil Soldiers dearly, especially after the grenadiers began to fire miniature grenades, and as the miniature grenades began to explode, the Oni Soldiers began to wail in pain.

After five minutes, an infantry squadron was almost completely annihilated, and only seven or eight of their wounded fled quickly.

The Japanese stormtroopers were completely disorganized, and an infantry squadron behind them did not dare to move forward when they saw that the opponent had strong firepower.

The five infantry squadrons quickly retreated, knowing that even if they rushed under the walls, they would be hit by the defenders' fire.

"Bagaya Road, what the hell is going on, how can the Zhina troops have such powerful firepower."

Koizumi Shaozuo's face was full of annoyance, and he shouted loudly, the squadron that rushed to the front was subordinate to Koizumi's brigade.

Seeing that only seven or eight of the more than 180 people in his infantry squadron fled in an instant, and the rest of the troops were completely annihilated, the price of such a loss was unacceptable to Koizumi Shaosa, his face became angry, his eyes became red, and his right hand tightly grasped the handle of the saber.

"The firepower of the Chinese troops is too strong, did they know our plan in advance? How is this possible, why would this Sun Weiguo deploy such a powerful firepower here. Fujiwara Shaoza's face was even more puzzled, and his brows furrowed tightly.

Five infantry squadrons began to withdraw, and only the corpses of Japanese soldiers were found outside the city, and the battlefield instantly began to become silent.

The cavalry wing, which had wanted to charge behind the infantry, began to retreat, and after seeing the strong firepower of the Chinese troops, they knew that if they rushed through now, they would definitely become a live target.

Okazaki Kiyoshi commanded his cavalry wing to quickly retreat, and when the retreat was completed, Okazaki Kiyoshi immediately came to Fujiwara and Koizumi.

Looking at the two young ministers in front of him, Okazaki Qing had a solemn expression on his face.

"The firepower of the Chinese troops is very strong, but I judge that the Chinese troops should have transferred all their heavy weapons here, and if we quickly detour back to other city gates to fight at this time, we will definitely have unexpected gains."

Okazaki Qing looked at the two young ministers, and he said solemnly.

Obviously, Kiyoshi Okazaki did not want to miss the opportunity to make meritorious contributions, and he also wanted to try it and attack the county town from other city gates.

Fujiwara and Koizumi looked at each other, they thought about it carefully, and then they nodded.

The three officers immediately began to send a telegram to the 119th Wing headquarters, and they made a detour back to the East Gate to fight.

In their opinion, there must not be many troops guarding the East City Gate, and the Japanese army has been feinting to attack the East City Gate, and the defenders will not invest too many troops here, and after they maneuver to the East City Gate, it is difficult for the defenders of the West City Gate to quickly reinforce the past.

Hongyatou Village, the headquarters of the 119th Wing of the Japanese Army, at this time, the chief of staff of the 109th Division, Ochiai Shizaburo, was in command here.

After receiving the telegram report, Shizaburo Ochiai showed a slightly unhappy expression on his face, he did not expect that the Chinese troops would gather heavy troops at the West City Gate.

Shizaburo Ochiai was a little embarrassed in front of Miura Shiro and others at this time, and his carefully planned attack from the West Gate was not successful, but directly caused the loss of an infantry squadron, which made him feel very embarrassed.

After seeing the report of Kiyoshi Okazaki and other officers, Shizaburo Ochiai reacted immediately, and he agreed to the report of Kiyoshi Okazaki and others.

He wanted to save some face, probably because of embarrassment, Ochiai Shizaburo didn't think much about why the defending troops gathered so many troops at the West Castle Gate.

"Chief of Staff, the division headquarters has sent a telegram that the North China Front Command has been informed of the situation of the 119th Wing, and His Excellency Commander Terauchi Shouichi has asked us to recapture the wing flag, and if we cannot recapture the wing flag by force, we can negotiate with the other side."

A staff officer came to Shizaburo Ochiai, and he reported softly.

Hearing the staff officer's report, Shizaburo Ochiai nodded, and his eyes couldn't help but look at Miura Shiro.

"Chief of Staff, I am willing to go to the front line to supervise the battle, and I will command the troops to quickly conquer Loufan County."

Miura Shiro immediately made a statement, he knew that Ochiai Shizaburo was looking at him, and he was planning to let him go to the front line to command the battle.

"Misai, Miura-kun, thank you for your hard work, I hope you can bring good news." Shizaburo Ochiai said with a smile.

Shirou Miura immediately saluted, and then he quickly walked outside.

As Ochiai Shizaburo agreed to the request of Kiyoshi Okazaki and others, the Japanese troops quickly began to move, and at the same time, two infantry squadrons began to be transferred to the West Castle Gate, where their task was to confuse the defending troops and contain the Chinese forces at the West Castle Gate.

At three o'clock in the afternoon, the Japanese army gathered three infantry brigades and about seven infantry squadrons and began to storm the East City Gate.

Garrisoned at the East City Gate was Fu Tao's second battalion, and the two sides began to fight fiercely at the East City Gate.
