The ground was trembling violently, and the entire Shijiazhuang was slowly shattered and disintegrated in the explosion.

After bombing for more than two hours, the Japanese aviation units returned home after dumping all their ammunition. However, the Japanese artillery fire outside the city never stopped, and Okubo Yoshihiro ordered the mortars to follow suit.

The flames swept across the land, and hundreds of shells fell on Shijiazhuang every minute. Almost all the fortifications in the city were destroyed, along with the houses of the civilians and a large number of buildings.

150,000 troops gathered together and used their strong firepower to bombard a city. In terms of scale, even when Japan had just invaded China, there was no such a big battle. This time, Okubo Yoshishi bombarded a city with such a huge formation, with the aim of completely killing the PLA in the city.

"Your Excellency General, the people in the city don't have any ability to fight back at all!" A staff officer beside Okubo Yoshishi laughed proudly: "When they entered here, they followed up the grave, and they also tried to fight a decisive battle with our Imperial Japanese Army, it's a dream!" ”

"Yes, poor Chinese people, they may have begun to regret it now, why don't they flee back to Shanxi, but they still have to defend this city!"

"They have no chance to regret it, and being bombarded with such heavy artillery fire will not give them a chance to regret it at all. Even if you have regrets, now you regret them on the way to hell! ”

"Fighting against our dignified Imperial Japanese Army, especially against the elite Imperial Army led by General Yoshinori Okubo, this is the final end. All the people of China will know what is happening here today, and in the near future, anyone who will hear the name of General Yoshihiroshi Okubo will tremble with fear! ”

Listening to the shameless flattery of his subordinates, Okubo Yoshi's heart was unusually happy. As long as everyone likes to be held by others, Okubo Yoshio is no exception.

He grinned and said, "Then let's all open our eyes and take a good look at it, and watch the end of the Chinese people!" ”

The devils outside the city are arrogantly waiting for all the PLA in the city to be killed, but the PLA who has all withdrawn underground at this moment is waiting anxiously.

Dirt was constantly falling overhead, and the People's Liberation Army, which was still in a hollow section of the city, was particularly uncomfortable. The soil layer above the head seemed to collapse at any moment, and everyone looked at the top of the bomb shelter with concern.

But they don't have to worry at all, the bomb shelters are designed to protect against air raids. Not to mention that the devils are just bombarding with artillery shells now, even if it is really bombing repeatedly with thousands of planes, this bomb shelter is still extremely strong in less than ten days and a half months.

Hu Xinghan spat out a mouthful of mud and cursed in a low voice: "When will this gang of killers prepare to bombard, and after three hours, aren't they afraid of artillery explosions?" ”

Gao Dong sat next to him, just closing his eyes at the moment, as if he had stayed out of the matter, and had disconnected from this battle that would determine the fate of both sides.

But when he heard Hu Xinghan's words, he still smiled faintly: "The little devils have exerted their strength this time, they must have divided the artillery into two batches and bombed us in turn." In this way, it is possible to ensure that the bombing is uninterrupted and the firepower continues! ”

Hu Xinghan spat a mouthful of saliva with yellow mud, and said helplessly: "If they blow up for three days and three nights, the underground will blow them up!" ”

"Old Hu, be patient and patient, the devil doesn't have so many shells. Besides, their shells are also expensive. It can be fried until midnight, which is a luxury. Wait patiently, no hurry! Lin Fan said to Hu Xinghan with a smile.

The Japanese artillery bombardment lasted from 4 p.m. to 12 a.m., and Okubo and his men were always at the forefront, coldly observing the movements of Shijiazhuang.

In the endless dark night, Shijiazhuang is like a dazzling fireball, illuminating most of the dark sky. The waves of fire were surging, as if they were about to break through the sky and reach the sky.

The smile on the corner of Okubo's mouth became thicker and thicker, and after another half an hour, he looked at his watch and nodded with satisfaction.

"Almost, we've bombed a lot of bombs!" Okubo said lightly.

"Yes, Your Excellency General, the bombs we bombed are enough to wipe Shijiazhuang off the map!" A staff officer immediately replied.

"Alright, let the artillery stop the bombardment. The PLA in the city should have been half killed, and there was no point in continuing the bombing. Okubo snorted coldly: "Order the encirclement to shrink, use our superior forces to completely hang the enemy like a python, and cut off their last breath!" ”

After a few moments, the artillery fire that resounded through the night sky finally stopped. The Japanese troops in the encirclement received orders from Okubo Yoshishi and began to slowly encircle Shijiazhuang.

The Japanese army and Shijiazhuang were about three kilometers apart, and the original formation was relatively loose. At this time, he suddenly contracted, and it was really like a strange reckless body that was wrapped around him, and he was wrapped around Shijiazhuang.

The tanks opened the way, and a large number of Japanese troops followed. In addition to the fact that the artillery and logistics units remained in place and were on standby. The Japanese army was all dispatched to prepare for a final offensive against the PLA still alive in the city.

"Report to the commander, the devil's army has reached our heads!" Underground, Luo Li and Zhao Fei received reports from their subordinates almost at the same time.

They looked up at the layer of dirt falling above their heads, and could clearly feel the sound of the devil passing over it.

"The devils are starting to get into the trap!" The two looked at each other and smiled slightly.

"Order the troops to stand by and don't be in a hurry!" Luo Li instructed the soldiers who gave the order: "When the devils completely enter the encirclement, follow the order!" ”

"Yes!" The officer who gave the order immediately turned around and went to deliver the order.

At this time, all the PLA soldiers in the underground passage outside the city already knew that the devil had begun to encircle Shijiazhuang.

Everyone was sneering, laughing at the ignorance of the devils, thinking that they had already won, but in fact they were just getting closer and closer to death.

The passage was filled with a strong murderous aura, and everyone's eyes flashed with cold light. They clutched their guns tightly, waiting for the moment of the final battle.

At the moment, on the ground. The encirclement of the devils has been reduced to only a kilometer away from Shijiazhuang, and the fierce flames in the city are rolling, and the faces of the roasted people are painful.

Okubo followed the Chinese army, coldly watching the movement of the city. There was only the crackling of flames burning things in the air, and the city was so quiet that there was no sound at all.

"Are they all dead? Why is there no movement at all? Okubo groaned, but in view of the cunning operations of the PLA in the past, he did not dare to take it lightly, for fear that the PLA that had been bombed for several hours would give him a dying blow.

"Order the troops, immediately open fire on the city, I want to see how long the people can hold in the city!" Okubo ordered with a smile.

Da da bang

The Japanese began to fire bullets into the city, and the heavy machine guns on the tanks, the machine guns mounted on the military trucks, and the heavy machine guns of the infantry all opened fire at this moment.

A dense rain of bullets was fired from all directions in Shijiazhuang, and the roaring bullets formed an impenetrable barrage in the air, sweeping across the entire city.

After half an hour of attacking, Okubo ordered his troops to stop the attack.

There was still no movement in the city, and his brows became more and more furrowed: "The troops began to advance into the city, and the forward troops entered the city first. If you encounter resistance, destroy them immediately! ”

After receiving the order, the Ubonami Department immediately launched an attack on the city, and a large number of troops were tightly connected together, and surrounded the city of Shijiazhuang from all directions.

Soon, the vanguard was the first to enter the city. But there were still no gunshots in the city, and Okubo Yoshiki wondered even more, could it be that the People's Liberation Army in the city was all dead?

His curiosity was so uncontrollable that he ordered the whole army to enter the city. He wants to see what the PLA is doing. Even if they hid, he was not afraid, and what was he afraid of when 150,000 troops poured into this bombed-out city.

Little by little, the Japanese army marched into the city, and at this moment, it was about a kilometer behind them. Gaps opened on the ground, and countless sturdy figures jumped up from inside and quickly jumped out.

"Go and deal with the devil's artillery and logistics troops!" Luo Li, who jumped out of the ground, looked at the artillery position with dense devils not far away, and a cold smile appeared on the corner of his mouth: "Call them the murderer who bombed just now, now it's time for us to exert our might!" ”

The Fifth Army began to attack the Japanese artillery positions scattered in the rear, while the Sixth Army, which was constantly pouring out of the passages, began to build defensive positions on the spot to counter-encircle the devils who had entered Shijiazhuang.

All kinds of light and heavy machine guns were quickly erected, and bags of sandbags were quickly piled up into simple defensive positions. And there are more troops pouring out of the ground, and there are black shadows moving quickly everywhere.

Boom, boom, boom

Suddenly, a deafening explosion erupted from the Japanese artillery position outside the city.

Okuboyoshi, who had just entered Shijiazhuang, turned around in horror and saw that his artillery positions were on fire in many places, and desperate shouts came from afar.

"What happened? What's going on here? Okubo was still a little unconscious, and he couldn't understand why his artillery positions were being attacked.

"Sir, our back road has been cut off. Out of nowhere, a large number of Chinese troops came out of nowhere and surrounded us! At this moment, a ghost officer ran over eagerly and yelled in horror.

"Nani? We're surrounded? Yoshieno Okubo opened his eyes and roared incredulously.

"Yes, we are all surrounded, and the Chinese troops are building defensive positions." The reporting devil yelled.

"The whole army immediately withdraws, attack, attack, rush out of here!" Okubo stomped his foot and ran out of the city with his men.
