After determining the time of the attack, Li Yunlong led a new regiment to the south of the city.

And quickly determined that the headquarters was a courtyard for the common people.

Standing on the roof of the house on a ladder, you can observe the battle of the city walls with a telescope.

And the battalion commanders and the directly subordinate company commanders were called to the headquarters to hold an operational meeting.

At the meeting, Li Yunlong assigned combat tasks, and this time the second battalion served as the vanguard, and after the second battalion entered the city, the third battalion quickly followed up and engaged the enemy in street fighting.

This time, Zhang Dabiao's battalion served as a reserve.

Zhang Dabiao had no objection to this result, basically one battalion served as the main attacker before, and the other two battalions took turns to serve as reserves.

It was also the turn of the second or third battalion to fight a main attack.

After the meeting, Li Yunlong ordered the cavalry battalion, machine gun company, and heavy machine gun battalion to concentrate gas masks and use them to support the New Second Regiment and the Independent Regiment.

Later, he gave Wang Chengzhu an order to send 6 mountain artillery pieces to support the New Second Regiment and the Independent Regiment respectively.

In addition, 10 machine guns were sent to protect the mountain artillery, and more than 20 camouflage nets were sent over.

And instructed that after the bombardment of the city walls, the artillery immediately pulled back the mountain guns, machine guns, and camouflage nets.

It's not that Li Yunlong is afraid of Ding Wei or Kong Jie's debts, after all, he has an IOU in his hand now, and if the two brothers don't repay the debts, he will also take care of the lawsuit when it goes to the headquarters.

It was Li Yunlong who wanted to reproduce the genius stroke of Lu Yingjun, the leader of the sword squadron, when he attacked Yangquan.

After the troops entered the city, let the Sword Squadron enter the occupied commanding heights and call in artillery to cover the Devil Command.

Artillery coverage is different from accurate shooting such as shelling city walls, and only by concentrating artillery can it exert its maximum power.

With the order given, the cavalry battalion took the lead in finding a small road to detour in the direction of the west gate, and must not let the devils on the city tower see it.

Zheng Yu was busy mobilizing the soldiers of the second battalion before the war, and the commander of his own battalion grabbed the main attack, and the soldiers of the second battalion were very excited.

The first battalion was not idle, and Zhang Dabiao began to dig trenches and build fortifications six or seven hundred meters away from the city wall.

If the attack does not go well and the devils launch a counterattack, then these trench fortifications can have a blocking effect.

Wang Chengzhu's artillery battalion had already set up six mountain guns in a hidden place, turning the handle to aim the muzzles of the guns at the pillboxes and turrets under the city walls.

The first round of shelling was to take out the fortifications of the devils outside the city.

The 17 machine guns of the surrounding machine gun companies were on standby, and all of them were well camouflaged, always on guard against the devil plane.

Soon, Wang Chengzhu finished measuring the distance with a gun scope, and the soldiers of the logistics department pulled up more than 60 camouflage nets.

And each camouflage net was spaced at least 100 meters apart, and the arrangement was irregular, while the mountain artillery was placed in a more concealed position.

Even if it is discovered by a devil plane, it is protected by anti-aircraft guns.

As time went on, it soon came time to launch an attack.

Wang Chengzhu, the commander of the mountain artillery battalion, shouted loudly: "Ready, release!" ”

The flag commander immediately lowered the command flag in his hand.

All gun emplacements were ready, and the muzzles of the guns were pointed at the pillboxes or turrets outside the Devil's City.

The gunner immediately stepped forward and pulled the arquebus.

The cannon shook violently, and the air wave generated by the firing of the cannonball kicked up a cloud of dust.

Six shells burst out of the barrel in an instant, arced through the air, and whistled towards the devil's fortifications.

"Boom, boom!"

Li Yunlong leaned on the roof and looked through a telescope.

Through the field of vision of the telescope, I saw that the bunkers and turrets of the devils were destroyed by the shelling.

Beside him, Zhao Gang also held a telescope to observe the situation on the battlefield.

Zhao Gang said: "Lao Li, you see, the quality of our artillery is getting higher and higher, and almost half of the pillboxes and turrets were killed in the first round of test firing. ”

"It is said that sharpshooters are fed with bullets, and I think this sharpshooter is also fed with cannonballs."

"The more the shells hit, the more accurate the cannon becomes."

"Of course." Li Yunlong snorted, "Don't look at whose soldiers it is?" Their regimental commanders are so powerful, will the soldiers below be bad soldiers? ”

More than 500 meters behind the fortifications of the first battalion, the mortars of three battalions were concentrated.

Mortar positions and mountain artillery positions are not in the same place.

The target of the mortar was the devil on the city walls.

As the mountain artillery battalion opened fire, a muffled sound of "tom tom" immediately sounded on the mortar position.

With a sharp whistling sound, mortar shells descended on the heads of the puppet soldiers wearing devil uniforms on the city walls.

Accompanied by a series of explosions, some shells landed outside the city, others inside the city, but most of the shells landed on the city walls.

Waves of shockwaves carried choking gunpowder smoke and sharp shrapnel flew wantonly on the city walls, mercilessly harvesting lives.

The shrapnel hit the stone wall of the battlement and bounced back, making a sharp metallic trill.

Before the puppet soldiers could catch their breath, the second round of mortar shells quickly fell from the top of their heads.

But the puppet army did not dare to escape, and the supervision team composed of the devil gendarmerie was setting up a Type 92 heavy machine gun on the urn city behind, and whoever dared to escape was immediately beaten into a sieve.

What made the puppet army even more desperate was that after the mountain artillery of the Eighth Route Army knocked out the pillboxes and turrets outside the city, they had already begun to bombard the city wall.

The cannonballs exploded on the walls of the city walls, and the whole wall trembled, and the tiles on the towers above the city walls fell down.

The city wall of Shouyang County was built in the Song Dynasty period, the whole city wall presents navy blue, 6 to 9 meters high, the top of the city wall is 6 to 10 meters wide, the bricks and stones are bridged with glutinous rice juice, lime and other things, solid as gold, the wall body is based on stone, built with soil ramming, the outer side is plastered with bricks, and the bricks and stones of the city wall are bridged with glutinous rice juice mixed with lime and other things.

The battlements and shooting holes at the top of the city walls show the tactical characteristics of the Cold Weapon Age.

However, the construction of the ancient city wall is used to prevent cold weapons, and it cannot withstand hot weapons, especially cannons.

In less than 10 minutes after six mountain guns were aimed at the city wall, the southern city wall collapsed, forming a gap more than ten meters wide.

At this time, the second battalion of the new regiment entered the attack position under the leadership of Zheng Yu.

Zheng Yu saw that the wall was bombarded by mountain artillery, and he did not hesitate to issue an attack order.

Accompanied by the sound of a rushing charge.

The soldiers of the second battalion rushed towards the city wall like a tidal wave with ladders.

"Kill, kill, kill!"

"Rush, fuck the little devil of the dog day!"

"Kill!"

At the same time as the charge, the overwhelming shouts of killing also sounded.

The killing intent in the sky immediately spread from the bodies of the soldiers of the second battalion.

There are four gates in Shouyang City, namely the East Binyang Gate, the West Dinghu Gate, the Nantong Xiangmen and the North Jinghuai Gate, all of which have the gate protection urn city.

The new regiment attacked Nantong Qimen, and the devil gendarmerie set up heavy machine guns on the top and bottom of the walls of the urn city.

As soon as a new regiment of warriors poured in through the gap, the city and the city opened fire together.

But fortunately, the new group prepared dozens of ladders in advance, and some ladders were spliced together because the length was not enough.

As soon as the soldiers of the 2nd Battalion climbed up the ladder to the gap, the devil's heavy machine guns from above and below the city opened heavy fire at the gap.

The machine-gun bullets flew sand and rocks at the gap, and the attacking troops could not raise their heads.

But dozens of ladders were already on the city wall behind him, and the warriors stepped on the ladders to climb up the city.

Because the city wall was a puppet army wearing devil's clothes, it had long been beaten under the strong artillery fire of the Eighth Route Army and lost the courage to resist.

Because of the devil's behavior of throwing the puppet army on the city wall to send them to death, the puppet army has already cursed the devil countless times, and it is impossible to give the puppet army his life at this time.

The puppet soldiers fired only a few symbolic shots into the air, and then gave up their resistance.

"Grandpa Eight Road!"

"We are Chinese, don't shoot!"

Seeing the first fighter of the commando of the second battalion of the new regiment ascend the city wall, more fighters flocked to the back.

The puppet soldiers raised their guns above their heads and crouched on the city wall.

But the voices of the puppet soldiers were drowned out by the dense gunfire.

Because at this time, the puppet army was still wearing the military uniform of the devil, and was caught off guard by the soldiers of the second battalion and shot several times.

When the gunners heard the gunshots, they immediately turned their guns and fired in this direction.

The soldiers of the second battalion ignored these surrendered "devils" and immediately raised their guns and fired back.

The dense submachine gun bullets swept over, and quickly suppressed the devil's Type 92 heavy machine gun.

The pressure of the warriors who rushed through the gap was suddenly reduced by more than half.

Holding a ladder in one hand and a submachine gun in the other, he strafed the devil's firing point.

Taking advantage of the suppression of the devil's firepower, the commandos swarmed up on the ladder and slaughtered into the urn city.

The urn city and the city wall were not the focus of the devil's defense, so they did not encounter any resistance, and were quickly captured by the second battalion.

At the headquarters of the new regiment, Zhao Gang, who saw this scene in the telescope field of vision, frowned slightly, and his face showed a worried look.

"Lao Li, is the attack of the second battalion too smooth?"

"From the launch of the attack to the occupation of the city wall, there was basically no resistance, and there was no counterattack from the devils."

"The devil's machine gun fire points seem to have become decorations, and it seems that there are still many devils who have surrendered?"

"I'm worried that there is fraud in this, so I think it's better to suspend the attack and let the second battalion hold the city wall first."

"Then let the Sword Squadron climb the city wall and call the artillery to kill the devil command before attacking?"

Li Yunlong always kept his eyes calm, his expression did not fluctuate in the slightest, and he said undoubtedly: "No, let the second and third battalions continue to attack." ”

After fighting with devils for so many years, Li Yunlong has never seen a situation where devils collapse at the touch of a button, and then surrender.

It is very likely that the devil on the city tower is pretending to be a puppet army, and Zheng Yu, the commander of the three battalions of the main infantry battalion, is the most thoughtful, and he can't fail to think of this.

It was precisely on the basis of such considerations that Li Yunlong did not call for a halt to the attack.

At this time, at the east and north city walls, the soldiers of the Independent Regiment and the New Second Regiment climbed the city wall without encountering any obstacles.

Zheng Yu, the commander of the second battalion, got the information from the puppet army's confession that the devil and the puppet army changed their uniforms.

He immediately ordered the soldiers of the second battalion to attack the city, and then killed the devils and puppet soldiers when they saw them.

He also specially ordered the signal corps to wait for the commander of the third battalion on the city wall, and after the third battalion entered the city, he informed the commander of the third battalion, Chen Dagu, of this information.
