"Boom ......"

The shelling of the devils continued, and within two minutes, the city wall of Xiangfen was covered with gunpowder smoke and billowing smoke from the explosion of the shells.

Because he couldn't see the situation in the city, Wang Ping could only stare dryly. The self-confidence of a few minutes ago has also been reduced a lot because of the powerful power shown by the devil's heavy artillery.

"Jingle Bell ......"

Suddenly, the phone behind him rang.

Without waiting for the communications staff to react, Wang Ping had already turned around and lifted the phone to his ear.

"I'm Wang Ping...... How's the situation in the city? ”

"Report to the regiment commander, your order just now is too timely, as soon as the troops were transferred, two anti-artillery holes built against the city wall were blown up. However, there was still a platoon that moved a little slower, and was buried by the collapsed anti-artillery hole, and all of them were sacrificed~"

"In addition, the troops also lost nearly a platoon of troops during the transfer......"

Before the devil's attack began, the troops lost two platoons, and they were still the main platoon, which was definitely a very big blow to Wang Ping.

His face suddenly turned pale, and he hesitated for a moment and asked, "Can the machine gun bunker we dug inside the city wall withstand the blow of the devil's heavy artillery!" ”

"Yes...... The head of the regiment ......, and finally an answer came from the earpiece that made Wang Ping breathe a sigh of relief.

"Until now, all the machine-gun bunkers are intact. But for the sake of safety, I still asked the machine gunner to temporarily withdraw! ”

"That's good!" Wang Ping's face regained confidence.

Then he commanded into the microphone: "Battalion Commander Jin, although the power of the devil's heavy artillery is far more than we estimated. However, you have machine gun bunkers, as well as a sufficient number of grenades and grenades. Therefore, the task given to you by the regiment headquarters remains the same, resist the devil's two attacks and retreat to the city, and cooperate with the three newly formed garrison battalions to fight with the devil in the street! ”

"Please rest assured, the regiment commander will ensure that the task is completed!" Jin Kai's firm and powerful answer soon came from the earpiece.

Heavy artillery is different from ordinary artillery, both in terms of cost and maintenance, it is much higher than ordinary artillery. Therefore, even if the devils are well-armed and have their own military-industrial system, heavy artillery is still a treasure for them.

Twelve heavy artillery pieces fired for ten minutes before Lieutenant General Ito stopped them.

"The field artillery continued to shell for five minutes, and the first and second squadrons of the guard brigade immediately entered the starting position. After the field artillery shelling stopped, launch an attack directly under the cover of the mortar squadron and the heavy machine gun squadron, and give me a breakthrough through the walls of Linfen City, kill into the city, and take down the defending troops! ”

"Hey!" The chief of staff next to him replied loudly, and then motioned to the combat staff officer behind him to give orders.

Lieutenant General Ito hesitated for a moment and continued to order: "Contact the remaining two infantry brigades of the 137th Wing, speed up and rush to Xiangfen City, let me surround Xiangfen City, and prevent a single Eighth Route Army in the city from breaking through ......"

The sound of artillery on the battlefield slowly weakened, and the attacking troops of the two squadrons followed closely and entered Lieutenant General Ito's field of vision.

More than a dozen mortars from the mortar squadron continued to shoot at the city, and more than a dozen heavy machine guns lined up, firing bullets at the city.

It seems that everything is moving in its favor.

"Division commander, the Eighth Route Army at the head of the city has begun to counterattack...... There are almost no machine guns, and the strength seems to be only one company~"

"Of course!" The division commander replied with an arrogant expression.

"The power of heavy artillery is not comparable to that of ordinary mountain artillery...... I guess that these Tubalu have never seen heavy artillery, and they still defend against our heavy artillery shelling according to the standard of defense against ordinary artillery. As a result, the power of our heavy artillery was too great, and they directly rendered their fortifications useless, and then lost their troops, leaving only this little force to hold the city walls......"

The chief of staff agreed very much with this method, and replied with a flattering face: "The division commander is wise, it must be because of this reason!" ”

"The garrison of the Eighth Route Army suffered heavy casualties under our heavy artillery strike...... The lowly government thinks that we should take this opportunity to take the city wall and fight into the city in one go! ”

"Yo Sai ......" Lieutenant General Ito was pleased with this answer.

"Immediately send a signal to the attacking troops, there are not many troops left in the Eighth Route Army to defend the city, let them strengthen the fortifications and break through the city walls!"

Under the watchful eye of Lieutenant General Ito, the distance between the attacking troops and the city walls was quickly shortened from one hundred meters to fifty or sixty meters.

Just when they thought victory was in sight, more than a hundred grenades and grenades emitting white smoke suddenly burst out from the city, where there were only sporadic gunshots.

Immediately after, the grenades and grenades fell as if it were raining.

"The artillery continued to fire...... There are also grenadiers, immediately counterattack, and use shells and grenades to kill the Eighth Route Army under the city. Just kill them, and the city will be ours! Lieutenant General Ito ordered in a hurry.

The devil's reaction was quick, and it didn't take long for the sound of the cannonball explosion to overpower the grenade explosion, and the thick smoke of gunpowder also covered the city.

Lieutenant General Ito still underestimated his opponent.

In the violent explosion, although there were many fewer grenades thrown from the city, they did not stop.

The attacking force was constantly killed in the explosions, and within a few minutes, more than half of the two squadrons were killed or wounded. The remaining soldiers all lay on the ground, waiting for the artillery to kill the remaining Eighth Route Army at the head of the city, and no longer advance~

"Retreat...... Order the attacking troops to withdraw...... "Lieutenant General Ito quickly decided.

If the stalemate continues, even if the attacking forces can take the city walls, the troops will suffer heavy losses, which is not cost-effective.

"Heavy artillery brigade, field artillery brigade, get ready...... The troops retreated fifty meters back and opened fire, not giving the Eighth Route Army a chance to transfer at the head of the city~"

"This time I'm going to finish them out so that they don't have anything wrong with defending the walls......"

After leaving nearly two hundred corpses, the remaining more than a hundred devils retreated back in embarrassment with a pair of gloomy gazes in Ito, and then a violent explosion once again enveloped the entire battlefield.

The former enemy headquarters of the new regiment saw Jin Kai repelling the devil's attack without using the machine gun bunker, and a smile just appeared on his face, and the piercing screams and violent explosions directly made the smile on his face freeze.

"The devil is too ruthless, obviously targeting our garrison...... Regiment commander, after this artillery bombardment, the troops guarding the city wall just now must have suffered heavy losses......" Zhong Chenggong said with a calm face.

"The commander of the Devil Division is very cunning and ruthless...... While we are trying to consume them in every way, he is also taking every opportunity to attack us and consume us. And now this shelling is the perfect opportunity for him to take out most of our infantry companies with shells alone without wasting a single soldier......"

"There's no way, we don't have heavy artillery, we can only watch the devils bomb our fighters with heavy artillery...... When we have heavy artillery, sooner or later, I will also let the devil taste the taste of being bombed, and the body will be torn directly into minced meat by heavy artillery shells......"

"Regiment commander, the reinforcements of the two brigades of devils are here!" As soon as he finished speaking, a staff officer rushed in and reported.

"More than 2,000 devils joined the battle...... The real pressure on the chief of staff, the assault battalion and the three newly formed battalions is only now beginning...... Contact Jin Kai and Li Wen today and get them ready! ”
