The battle soon approached the county seat.

Subordinates reported that a large number of dirt roads surrounded the county seat from all directions.

"Yaga!"

Doi Mototake hurriedly ran up to the castle tower.

Hold up your binoculars and look outside. Didn't see much dirt hachi in military uniforms. They are all dressed in the clothes of ordinary people.

There are a lot of people. There were thousands of them.

They surrounded Fanxian from all sides. The water is impassable.

It looks like it's a guerrilla!

Not even a formal military uniform. What is not a partisan?

However, the combat effectiveness of these guerrillas is extremely strong.

The outlying strongholds of Fanxian County have been taken down in less than half a day. A piece of cake.

It's overwhelming.

Overwhelming.

Holding up the binoculars and looking closely, it seems that there is nothing special about it.

A lot of people use rifles. It seems that there are also some machine guns. Tactical actions are also not standardized. It is 100% certain that it is definitely a guerrilla force on the dirt road.

The question now is, the majestic army can't defeat a group of Tubalu guerrillas?

It always feels very awkward......

"Boom!"

Suddenly, there was a loud bang.

Immediately, a gap was blown open in the city wall. Bricks and rubble are falling down.

"Boom!"

Another loud bang.

Another breach in the wall was blown open.

Mototake Doi hurriedly shrank his head.

Then he hurried down from the top of the wall.

Damn it!

The Tubalu guerrillas really had field artillery.

This is long-range firing from field guns. The city walls of Fanxian County easily blew up one gap after another.

Fortunately, outside the city walls, the Japanese army also built a large number of fortifications.

Otherwise, it would be impossible to block the onslaught of the earth eight roads by relying on the city wall alone.

"Boom ......"

"Boom ......"

The sound of explosions continued.

More walls were blown out of the breaches.

There were no Japanese troops on the city walls. Otherwise, it will definitely be blown up by shells.

"Yaga ......"

Mototakeshi Doi scolded stupidly.

It is unbelievable that the artillery shells of the Tubalu, or the guerrillas, are so abundant.

The bombardment of the city walls alone cost hundreds of rounds of shells.

When did Tsuchihachi Road become so rich?

Helpless......

I had to order the defenders to hold out stubbornly.

Without his orders, no defender was allowed to abandon their positions and retreat.

All must owe allegiance to His Majesty the Emperor.

As long as you hold out for ten days, reinforcements will arrive.

10 days......

Well, as long as ten days......

Although the city walls were blown to pieces on the first day......

But!

Mototake Doi is still confident!

He also has a lot of hidden forts and pillboxes, which can effectively block the attacks of the Tubalu guerrillas.

But......

Why does it always feel a little ......

A little less confident?

……

"Staff Officer Zhang, thank you so much this time!"

"If there were no field artillery, it would be really difficult to attack the county seat!"

Ding Weile said hehehe.

Compared with the gloomy clouds of the Japanese invaders, the atmosphere on the side of the Eighth Route Army was much happier.

Except for the somewhat large number of shells spent, everything else is satisfied.

The original difficult fortifications, in front of the field artillery, are not a thing. If you can't get it in one shot, then you can do it with three, five, and ten more!

Until that's done.

Due to the abundance of shells, the artillery was also trained.

The artilleryman, who did not understand anything, had already mastered quite a few tricks after firing hundreds of shells.

After the walls were shattered, the infantry began to attack tentatively.

"Boom!"

"Boom!"

It was still a dense artillery fire to open the way.

Raindrops of shells smashed into the Japanese fortifications.

The walls are only obstacles, not fortifications.

Real fortifications, under the city walls.

However, the county town was significantly more fortified than the outlying strongholds. Especially with a lot more bunkers.

The Japanese still attach great importance to the earthwork industry. The dark castle built is also very exquisite. Almost all of them are buried in the ground. Only the hidden shooting holes are exposed.

Even if the enemy has heavy artillery, it will be difficult to destroy these bunkers.

Unless there is a heavy artillery of more than 150 mm. There are enough shells for repeated bombardment.

To put it bluntly, 75-mm field guns were of little use.

81-mm mortars were also of little use.

After several attempts, it was difficult to destroy the Japanese Raider's Bunker directly.

The artillerymen tried to use their field guns to aim directly at the bunkers, but found it very difficult. Because the goal is too small.

"Grandma's!"

A company commander scolded.

It is customary to organize death squads and solve them with explosives packs.

But in the end, it was vetoed by Ding Wei.

You can't do it brutely.

There are a lot of Japanese dark castles, how many can be blown up by death squads?

Originally, there were not many veterans of the Yanbei detachment and the Wutaishan detachment. Death squads can only be served by veterans. If they are all sacrificed, the troops will be greatly damaged.

"Boom!"

"Boom!"

Field artillery continued to bombard.

But it never hit. I can't aim for sure.

Because the distance is relatively far.

The Japanese also had infantry artillery and mortars.

"Boom!"

"Boom!"

Japanese infantry artillery and mortars were also fighting back.

So, it was impossible to push the field artillery too close. The distance is at least two kilometers. Obviously, this is very detrimental to direct aiming.

In the end, in order to avoid wasting shells, the order had to be temporarily stopped.

The Japanese also stopped firing.

As a result, the battlefield became eerily silent.

Doi Mototake's confidence has regained somewhat.

Sure enough, the Dark Castle is easy to use.

He immediately ordered to continue building while fighting.

The remaining Japanese soldiers did not dare to slack off, digging underground fortifications day and night. There are a lot of hidden bunkers.

Underground tunnels are also used to connect all the bunkers.

Even if there is artillery fire on the surface, the Japanese troops in the underground tunnels can be unimpeded.

Not only can it provide timely support, but there are basically no casualties.

In this way, the attack of the Eighth Route Army became more difficult.

Several tentative attacks, all of which were beaten back.

"Zhang Chu, is there any way?"

Ding Wei turned his head and asked Zhang Chu.

Zhang Chu shook his head.

Unfortunately, he didn't have enough of it either.

Before the invention of the bazooka, bunkers were always a very nasty existence. It's really not easy to deal with.

However, the bazooka was not yet invented. Upgrades are not possible.

If you want to upgrade early, you must pay for the study. The first installment is 10 million. The follow-up is not less than 50 million.

Money is one side of the story.

Time is another issue.

Even if the 60 million is paid, it will take six months of research time.

In other words, it will be six months before you can upgrade your bazooka. Obviously, it is impossible to catch up with the battle in front of us.

"Ding!"

"There are high-value recyclables that have been repaired......"

"Please pay attention to the ......"

Suddenly, there was a prompt.

Zhang Chu hurriedly clicked on the database.

Unexpectedly, it was discovered that it was actually a Japanese Douding tank that had been repaired.

Unfortunately, it didn't work......

"This recyclable can be upgraded!"

"There are four options for upgrading:

"First, the Soviet-made T-26 tank ......"

"Second, the German No. 3 tank ......"

"Thirdly, the German tank No. 4 ......"

"Fourth, the French Renault R-40 infantry tank ......"

The system continues to prompt.

Zhang Chu was suddenly shocked. The blood is surging.

Tank upgrades?

Tank four?

German military horses?

The finest tank before World War II?

Wow!

It's developed!

It's developed!

Hurry up and get a hundred or dozens of cars!

Directly hang and beat all the Japanese criminals!
