Rumble! Rumble! Rumble!

Under the earth-shattering explosion, the brick and cement blockhouses and turret walls where the devils and puppet soldiers were hiding were easily pierced by powerful anti-aircraft shells.

Everywhere the anti-aircraft shells went, they were all destroyed, and brick and stone fragments were raging with the fire****.

The devils and the puppet army were blown into pieces of stumps and broken arms in droves, and there were no corpses left.

The flames and smoke from the explosions continued to rise into the air, and the sound could be clearly seen and heard for more than ten miles.

Fifteen 88mm anti-aircraft guns poured more than 900 rounds of anti-aircraft shells on the bunkers and turrets of the puppet army in just five minutes at a rate of fire of nearly 15 rounds per minute.

According to the projectiles fired by the 88mm anti-aircraft guns, each 20 pounds weighed about 19 catties, that is to say, in just five minutes, the first line of defense of the devils was bombarded by nearly 18,000 catties of shells.

With so much ammunition, even if there is a small hill in front of it, it is enough to completely destroy it and raze it to the ground, not to mention a few pillboxes and artillery towers of the devils.

After five minutes of fierce strafing and bombardment, none of the devil's bunkers and turrets were still intact, all of them were dilapidated, turning into piles of ruins, and thick smoke and fire constantly rose into the air.

As soon as the shelling ended, nearly 1,000 officers and men of the 1st Guard Battalion, who had already been prepared, immediately roared and launched an overwhelming charge towards the Japanese defense line.

The wave of guards who rushed to the front, in addition to their own weapons and equipment, each carried an additional wooden plank half a meter wide and more than four meters long.

"Rush! Kill! In the deafening shouts of killing, the soldiers holding wooden planks rushed to the blockade ditch of the devils, and laid the planks on the blockade ditch one after another, and the simple plank bridges quickly took shape.

Nearly a thousand warriors took the opportunity to quickly pass through guò and rushed towards the dilapidated position of the devils, and in the process, they did not encounter any strong resistance.

It's not that the devils and the puppet army don't want to stop the attack, but they have already been killed and wounded in the devastating artillery bombardment just now, and even if they are not dead, the rest are all dying wounded soldiers.

In this way, the Dragon's Tooth Column easily broke through the devil's first line of defense outside Jingcheng Pass, eliminated nearly 500 Japanese puppet troops, and continued to advance rapidly in the direction of Jingcheng Pass.

In the Jingcheng Pass, after getting the battle report from the front, Kawagishi Kyo Dazuo opened his mouth wide in surprise, and said with horror: "How is it possible? How is this possible? How could the Chinese army's ability to attack fortifications be so strong? In such a short period of time, we were able to break through our defenses? ”

A devil second lieutenant who was in charge of reporting the results of the battle lowered his head and said, "According to the surviving soldiers at the front, the artillery fire of the people of China is very fierce, and the fortifications of the imperial army are not vulnerable to their covering blows. ”

"Baga Ya Road, if it goes on like this, won't Jingcheng Pass be lost soon?" Kawagishi Kyodasa's face became extremely embarrassed, and the Imperial Army had invested huge manpower and material resources in the construction and operation of the Jingcheng Pass.

Now it can't hold even a morning, and if it loses it, then the imperial army will lose this strategic checkpoint that can be attacked and retreated.

Even if he could escape alive, the top brass of the North China Front would not spare him.

Therefore, this will put Kawagishi Kyodasa in a dilemma, and the rumbling cannons, gunshots and shouts of killing that are constantly approaching outside the pass make him even more anxious.

In the end, Kawagishi Kyo Dazuo still chose to resist, but instead of resisting to the death, he ordered his soldiers and the Imperial Alliance Army to resist with all their might, and when the Dragon's Tooth Column broke through all the resistance outside the pass and aimed the anti-aircraft guns at the wall of Jingcheng Pass, he quietly took several henchmen and took the initiative to evacuate the command post in Jingcheng Pass.

Before leaving, he also issued an order to let all the defenders fight to the last soldier, only in this way would no one know that he had escaped from the battle, and there could be a glimmer of life.

Although Kawagishi Kyodasa handed over command to a Japanese lieutenant, he lost the barrier of the fortifications outside the Seki, and the defenders of the Sekinai, who had already suffered heavy losses, suffered heavy casualties after being covered by the powerful fire of the Dragon's Tooth anti-aircraft artillery unit.

After a fierce battle for about two hours with the elite infantry of the Dragon's Tooth Column who came to attack, it ended with more than 1,000 Japanese soldiers killed in the pass and the remaining puppet army surrendered.

After the battle, Qiao Youhua, surrounded by Wu Ming, Zheng Yunshan, Ma Yunlong and other guards, passed through several fortifications outside the pass full of battle traces, and came to the world-famous Jingcheng Xiongguan.

However, the majestic and precipitous wall of the past is now full of holes and dilapidated because of the heavy artillery bombardment.

From the outside of the gate to the wall, and then to the inside of the gate, there are corpses of the Japanese puppet army everywhere, horizontally and vertically, everywhere.

The air was filled with disgusting and unpleasant smells such as gunsmoke and blood, but a battlefield veteran like Qiao Youhua had long been accustomed to this.

The pass is full of soldiers and field doctors and nurses who have just finished fighting and are cleaning up the battlefield, rescuing their wounded, and carrying the bodies of their own fallen soldiers.

Seeing Qiao Youhua and his party, they all stopped their steps and the work at hand, stood up, and saluted Qiao Youhua and the others.

Qiao Youhua took the lead in saluting them back, and then came to a high place, his eyes slowly swept over everyone, and said loudly: "Brothers, you have worked hard~!" It can be seen that as long as we go all out, there is no battle that we can't win, and there is no city level that we can't attack! Anti-Japanese will win! China will win! ”

"Resist Japan and win! China will win! First some of the veterans took the lead in shouting in response, and then they influenced the others, more and more people, and finally thousands of dragon tooth soldiers inside and outside the pass raised their guns and chanted in unison.

"Resist Japan and win! China will win! ”

"Resist Japan and win! China will win! ”

"Resist Japan and win! China will win! The sonorous and powerful waves converged together, soaring into the sky, and could be clearly heard for more than ten miles.

The morale of the fighters climbed to the extreme at this moment.

After inspecting and condolences in the pass, Qiao Youhua and his party came to the devil's headquarters that had been captured, and after taking a look at the internal situation of the somewhat messy headquarters, Wu Ming said: "It seems that the supreme commander of the devils has run away, and there is not even a big Zuo." ”

"Run, run, run, our goal this time is not to catch the devil's senior generals, but to seize the strategic location of Jingcheng Pass. Besides, I don't know how many of us have killed, it's not unusual! Now that the goal has been achieved, we can prepare to attack Liaocheng and other places in the south. Qiao Youhua said.
