While the artillery battalion was building its position, the 1st, 2nd, and 3rd infantry battalions also quietly moved to the grass or woods less than 500 meters outside Lishui County and hid themselves.

The firing range of the 105mm howitzer is as high as 11 kilometers, and Qiao Anbang asked the artillery battalion to build an artillery position 2.5 kilometers away from Lishui County, which is completely within the effective range of the artillery battalion.

On the artillery position, the officers and men were very busy, and one by one the American 105mm howitzers entered the predetermined position under the traction of the tractor, and the artillerymen immediately moved forward.

Immediately, the sub-gunners around the artillery quickly opened the ammunition box, took out the brand-new shells, and loaded them into the chamber.

"One door is loaded!"

"The second door is loaded!"

"Three doors are loaded!"

"Four doors are loaded........."

"The thirtieth door is loaded!" As the artillerymen reported one by one, the artillery battalion commander Wang Zhuzhu, who had been commanding on the side, nodded with satisfaction, and then turned around and walked to a tractor, took out the walkie-talkie in the cab and said in a deep voice: "Tuanzao, all the artillery has been prepared, can the artillery be fired?" ”

"Immediately fire the cannon and aim at the city wall to bring Lao Tzu a fierce bombardment!" Qiao Anbang, who was sitting in the armored command car, ordered into the walkie-talkie.

"Yes!" Wang Xuanzhu happily accepted the order, and after putting down the walkie-talkie, he suddenly turned around and said coldly with a hideous face: "Immediately open the cannon, and aim at the fortifications of the army for ten minutes!" ”

With Wang Xuanzhu's order, the gunners who had already prepared opened fire one after another, and 30 105mm howitzers of the "...... were fired one after another.

Dozens of cannonballs dragged a long tail flame like a meteor across the dark night sky towards the head of Lishui County, 2.5 kilometers away.

The three devil sentries standing guard at the head of the city looked at the dazzling fire in the night sky in horror, and couldn't help but scream in horror: "Night attack ......"

"Boom! Rumble! Before the devil sentinel's words fell, the "fire balls" in the sky smashed down, and their voices were immediately drowned out by an earth-shattering loud noise.

Since it was the first round of fire, most of the shells either fell inside or outside the city, and only two shells coincidentally landed on the top of the city.

Although only two shells hit the target, it was enough, and after the red light flashed, the three devil soldiers were blown into minced meat, and the city wall, which had been in disrepair for a long time, was also blown down with a diameter of about two or three meters.

As many shells fell inside and outside the city, they caused a sky-high fire, which was spectacular when viewed from a distance. Coincidentally, some of the shells that fell into the castle landed in one of the devil's barracks in the city, and dozens of sleeping devils were sent to meet their Amaterasu before they could even scream.

As soon as the cannon sounded, the devils in several other directions suddenly exploded, and many devils rushed out of the barracks bare-chested with 38 rifles before they had time to put on their clothes.

......After passing the first round of test firing, the artillery battalion adjusted its firing and fired again.

"Boom...... Rumble...... Rumble......! "In the second round of shelling, almost most of the shells hit the target, and the walls were blown down one after another in the midst of heavy explosions.

The officers and soldiers of the Tiger Regiment, who were lying on their stomachs hundreds of meters away from the fierce city wall, looked at the fire that rose into the sky in the distance, and they were all excited, and they all clenched the steel guns in their hands.

In the center of the city, the squadron leader Ozawano ran out of the bedroom in a hurry, and saw the skyrocketing fire in the south of the city and the rumbling explosions from time to time, Ozawano said with a frightened face: "Yaga, what's going on?" ”

At this moment, a ghost soldier hurriedly ran over from a distance, and before he could close his feet, he said with a frightened expression: "Squadron leader, no... Oh no, the south of the city was heavily shelled by the Chinese army, and the barracks of the third squad were also shelled, and now the entire third squad has been shattered. ”

"What?" Ozawano looked shocked, and immediately made a quick deployment: "Immediately send a telegram to General Kunisaki asking for help, just say that we are under fierce attack by the Shina army, and ask the general to send reinforcements to help." In addition, the first and second squads were ordered to immediately assemble urgently and prepare for the battle! ”

"Hay!" The devil soldier suddenly bowed his head and answered, and immediately turned around and led the order to leave.

………………、

Outside the city, Qiao Anbang sat on the armored car very calmly and smoked, listening to the rumbling cannon outside the car, the corners of Qiao Anbang's mouth flashed a smug sneer, under such a fierce artillery fire, no one could resist it, at this time he could imagine how the devil would rush around under such a fierce artillery fire, how helpless, how desperate.

Time passed minute by minute, and after smoking several cigarettes in a row, the sound of artillery outside finally gradually stopped, and finally took a sharp puff, Qiao Anbang spit out the cigarette butt at the corner of his mouth, picked up the walkie-talkie and said coldly: "Attention all battalions, attack immediately, and the first to attack the city will be rewarded with fifty yuan!" ”

"Rush!"

"Kill!"

"Brethren! Come on! As soon as Qiao Anbang put down the walkie-talkie, the officers and soldiers of the Tiger Regiment, who had been waiting for a long time, jumped up one after another, and rushed towards the already shattered south gate with an overwhelming shout and roar.

"Kill Quack!" When the cunning Ozawano saw that the shelling outside the castle was over, he immediately led his subordinates out of the houses in the castle, drew his command knife and howled and gave the order to meet the attack.

However, when Ozawano led his subordinates to rush to the gap in the already broken and dilapidated city wall, he was shocked by what he saw, and the ** officers and soldiers outside the city flocked to the mountains like a tide, and there were only two infantry squads of more than 100 people behind Ozawano.

Despair, utter despair, Ozawano couldn't figure out why so many armies suddenly appeared here.

After despair, Ozawano turned his heart sideways, raised his command knife and ordered: "Shoot!" Shoot! ”

As soon as Ozawano's words fell, a burst of cannonballs suddenly sounded on the opposite side, and Ozawano raised his head and was horrified to find that about a dozen scarlet fire balls were rapidly falling towards the city.

Without waiting for Ozawano to react, more than a dozen 75 American mountain guns fired shells to cover the infantry charge accurately landed on the already dilapidated city wall and exploded violently.

Unfortunately, Ozawano was hit by the blast wave from a 75mm shell, and the whole person was torn to pieces without even screaming.

As soon as the explosion ended, thousands of officers and soldiers of the Tiger Regiment rushed to the city wall, and rushed into the city along the gap in the collapsed city wall.

The warriors roared like thunder and swarmed into the city, and soon captured the whole city, and some of the devil remnants in the city were swept into a sieve by the soldiers with submachine guns.
