A flare rises from the town into the air, attracting the attention of many people. The www.biquge.info devil was puzzled and didn't know what it meant. But the battle had already begun, and they could not continue their research, but turned their attention to the battlefield again.

When the forward enemy penetrated deep into the middle of the street, and before the follow-up troops could attack, blazing fire suddenly poured out from the ruins on both sides of the street, through the aisles and broken windows of the alleys, cutting the enemy into several sections. The enemy was caught off guard, and the streets were narrow and there were many obstacles, so it was not easy for the troops to deploy.

Boom, boom, boom...... Tongues of fire, rain of bullets, shot at the enemy with their heads covered and their faces covered, and countless iron sand made it difficult to dodge. Shotgun to show off in street fights.

With a howl, the second echelon of the enemy began to charge, ready to catch up and pick up.

Another flare flew up in the air, and the ensuing blow made Konosuke Yamashita and the others no longer have to think about the meaning of the opponent's signal.

Screams rang out one after another, and mortar shells made terrifying trajectories in the air, and then fell down in dense numbers, smashing into the area where the devil squadron outside the town was passing.

The firing elements had already been calibrated and calculated, and the signal from the observer was sent at the right time, the former one was a reminder to the artillery to prepare for firing, and the second was the start of the bombardment. Almost as soon as the signal to start the bombardment was given, the waiting artillerymen put the shells into the chambers, and the six mortars hidden in the grove west of the town opened fire at the same time, three of which were fired rapidly, and eighteen shells fell in the enemy group in a matter of seconds.

The explosions came and went, and the mortar shells falling from the sky were like death falling from the sky, quickly plowing the outside of the town, and the second echelon of the devil squadron was blown to pieces.

Type 82 mortar, this is the only weapon that can overwhelm the Japanese firepower at a relatively close range in the eight-year War of Resistance against Japanese Aggression. The muzzle velocity, rate of fire, and firing range of the gun are higher than those of the Japanese Type 97 mortar and its standard equipment 92 infantry gun.

Due to its high mobility, fast deployment, fast artillery firing, and fast transfer, it was difficult for Japanese artillery to capture and effectively suppress it. The disadvantage is that because the charge is only half a kilogram, the fuse will explode when triggered, and the ability to break through the fortification is poor. However, it is more suitable for the defensive operations usually adopted by the Chinese X army, and the shrapnel can spread dozens of meters, which is quite lethal to personnel.

The earth finally calmed down, and the mine-blown area was once again subjected to artillery fire, making it even more disastrous. There were corpses and wounded everywhere, the craters had been filled in, and new blast marks had resurfaced, some swarthy and some charred, and the ploughed dirt was mixed with broken guns and tattered uniforms, steaming from the dust.

Konosuke Yamashita almost crushed the teeth in his mouth. What kind of opponent is this? Obviously, he has weapons and equipment that are not inferior to the locust army, and he may have an advantage in numbers, but he just doesn't fight with you. put on a posture of street fighting to block the attack, but the tricks continued, torturing the nerves and will of the locust army.

The depth of his thoughts, the tricks he used, and the newness of his means are something that Konosuke Yamashita and all the devils have never seen or even heard of.

The absence of mines on the road one or two kilometres east of the town's entrance, especially the predetermined explosion zone outside the town, was intended to allow the enemy to relax his vigilance and regard the area as safe. Since it is safe, the devils will not waste artillery fire to bombard, and ensure that the mines can be fired smoothly to the greatest extent.

The second artillery attack took advantage of the fact that the devil's vision was blocked in the town, and it was impossible to observe that in the woods outside the town's long stretches of houses, there were still mortars that could shoot in a curved way and had enough range.

In fact, this is also a bully to chase the devil lightly, carrying less artillery and not very powerful. At the same time, this artillery attack also had a warning effect, warning the devil's artillery not to bombard too closely, so as to reduce the pressure on the troops in the town.

The fierce battle in the town continued, and the devils who rushed into the town suffered heavy losses under the stubborn resistance and blows, and retreated step by step, and with the help of reinforcements sent by Konosuke Yamashita, they barely occupied part of the position and maintained their foothold.

However, the damage to the enemy was enormous, and the psychological torture of the enemy was even more devastating, and for a long time, no new offensive was organized.

The explosion of landmines, the rapid artillery fire, and the fierce competition in the street battles have already caused the deaths and injuries of 250 or 60 devils, and when the numbers were reported to the hands of Konosuke Yamashita, all kinds of emotions that were unfavorable to the human body, such as anger, frustration, helplessness, and depression, all kinds of emotions that were unfavorable to the human body came up.

The enemy's familiarity with the terrain and the danger of defending the locust army made the locust army lose a lot of money in street battles, and the tragic number of casualties shook Yamashita Konosuke's determination.

Judging from the sound of guns and artillery in the town, as well as the battle situation, it seems that the enemy has suffered little losses, and there is still a strong combat power. The locust army had captured only a quarter of the town, and there were still large areas to be captured in a fierce battle.

With the whole army thrown in, there may be hope to defeat the enemy and take the town, but is the price too heavy? After victory, it may mean that the troops lose the strength to pursue and even continue fighting, so does it still matter to capture this town?

Determined to pursue, Konosuke Yamashita certainly didn't expect to run into so much trouble. For revenge, for honor, he must also pursue. But the difficulties of reality, the repeated blows, had to make him put aside his vanity and really think calmly about the trade-offs.

The cold wind is blowing, the snow and dust are flying, and the temporary silence envelops Sipu Town. In the midst of the wolf were corpses, bloodstains, and a pair of prying eyes flashed between the ruins. After a fierce battle, both sides of the enemy and the enemy are seizing the time to put things in order and preparing for a more intense fight.

A buzzing sound sounded in the air, interrupting Konosuke Yamashita's long meditative thoughts and pacing back and forth.

A Tachikawa Type 98 reconnaissance plane flew in, apparently noticing the fierce battle that was taking place in Sipu Town.

Yang Tianfeng was very worried about the bombing of the Japanese devils' planes, but for now, his worries may be excessive.

Judging from the frequency and intensity of the use of aircraft by the Japanese army during the Anti-Japanese War, it was from north to south, gradually concentrating on the rear of the southwest of the national capital. Beginning in January 1939, Japanese air raids escalated rapidly, and the bombing of Chongqing became more and more intense. After May 1940, the Japanese base camp launched "Operation No. 101", which was bombed by the army and navy at the same time to the rear of China, reaching the peak of madness.

In the occupied areas, such as North China, the Japanese army had only one temporary air regiment, and the aircraft were few and far from advanced, and they were scattered all over the place. This is also an important reason why the anti-Japanese base areas and guerrilla forces were rarely bombarded by air during the War of Resistance Against Japanese Aggression. Moreover, the Japanese army generally had a contempt for the armed forces behind enemy lines, and also believed that it was not so urgent and necessary to mobilize aircraft to carry out air strikes in a big way.
