Hearing the complaint of his regiment commander, the political commissar Zhong of the 33rd regiment glanced at his partner with great interest, and then said while sorting out the ammunition box:

"You literate people, if you really want to start a war, you are blacker than anyone else. All day long, it's not a white phosphorus bomb, it's a personal flamethrower. ”

"According to me, the boss should transfer you to Director Huang's Weapons Experiment and Research Bureau."

"As a college student, you are always at the forefront of the forefront, and it is inevitable that you will be overkill. If this is known to the people of the preserved fruit, they still think that our Eighth Route Army has no Bole. ”

The current commander of the 33rd Regiment is called Liu Bingyan, who was once a student in the Department of Mathematics of National BJ University, and joined the army from Rong during the 129th Movement.

Since becoming the commander of the main regiment of the Ninth Division of Jizhong, he has been working on improving or developing weapons that are more suitable for the Eighth Route Army.

The flamethrower just mentioned is the project that Commander Liu has been working on recently, after all, no one can refuse a weapon that is efficient and lethal.

Hearing this, a trace of yearning flashed in the young leader's eyes.

Today, the Border Area Weapons Experiment and Research Bureau has become a holy place in the hearts of researchers.

"We'll talk about it later, let's deal with the battle at hand first. This time, the devil fully mobilized the strength of three divisions and two independent mixed brigades, so don't take it lightly. ”

"I'm going to say hello to Lao Liu in the defense area next door and discuss the matter of assisting in defense. You still have to worry about things on the battlefield, and if you have any problems, use the communicator to contact you in time. ”

Just as Regiment Commander Liu was about to leave on his bicycle, a loud noise suddenly came from the enemy position in the distance.

Moments later, the northern walls of Datong were subjected to a barrage of shelling.

······

The perspective came to the 110th Division, the devils' attack position.

"Order, the artillery wing gathers fire on the north wall of Datong! Your mission is not to destroy, only to interfere with the Eighth Route Army above! ”

"The 139th and 140th Wings are ready to attack. Before the sun goes down today, the battle on the outskirts of the city must be ended and a bridgehead must be established inside the city! ”

From then on, the Great War broke out.

The Japanese army aimed mountain and field artillery of various calibers at the Datong city wall, and one after another shells flew towards the north of the city with a whistling sound.

More than ten seconds later, the smoke of the explosion rose from the city walls and walls, and the shock wave swept towards the soldiers of the Eighth Route Army in various defense areas, carrying fragments of masonry and stone.

It is worth mentioning that this offensive devil did not concentrate all the artillery, but chose to disperse it into the formation of various infantry brigades.

There is no way, after the defeat of the first few artillery battles, the artillerymen who have always been above the top have to admit that their skills are inferior.

In case it is raided again, I am afraid that the already small body cannons will not have to be eaten by the Eighth Route Army.

"It's dark and it's onboard!"

As the shelling progressed, one of the lieutenant and brigade leaders drew their command knives and rushed to the moat with their respective soldiers carrying the tools prepared in advance.

Although the North China Front did not have much experience in crossing rivers, their colleagues in the south provided them with a lot of experience.

Before the official start of the general offensive, the devils produced a large number of folding boats, light boats, rubber boats, pontoon general boats, and even cut down trees to make pontoon bridges.

Just as the 108th Infantry Brigade was approaching the moat, the defenders on the city walls saw an opportunity to launch the first wave of counterattacks.

"Put!"

After receiving the order, the artillerymen on the northern city wall immediately opened fire, frantically typing at the devils below.

Although there are not many mortars put into battle because of problems such as the firing range. But dozens of doors are still not a small number, and the salvo at full speed made the devils who were caught off guard suffer a big loss.

Boom Boom!

"Yaga! Those damned mortars again! ”

"Don't you Eighth Route Army have any other tricks?"

The current situation made Kaho Ishii, who personally went to the front line to observe the battle situation, heartbroken.

In order to avoid exposing his troops to the fire of the Eighth Route Army for a long time, his two infantry wings had to rush straight in the direction of the moat.

As a result, the infantry had limited room to hide in the face of shells.

Heartache is heartache, as a brigade commander with rich command experience, Kaho Ishii's on-the-spot response is not slow.

"Inform the artillery wing to launch special shells immediately! Yellow bullets, white bullets, blue and white bullets, take out all the inventory to save the scene! ”

"Send a telegram to the division commander! Apply to use the Type 92 105 howitzer to cover the open space behind the moat, where the Eighth Route Army must have prepared a large number of mines and obstacles! ”

"Hey!"

Through the observation just now, the old devil found that the power of the 75-mm mountain and field artillery hardly played a substantial role.

Not to mention whether the shells can accurately hit the city wall, even if they hit, it will be difficult to destroy the firepower of the Eighth Route Army hidden in the semi-permanent fortifications.

Instead of wasting shells and time in vain, it is better to disgust the enemy with mustard gas, phosgene and diphenylcyanidysine.

Your Eighth Route Army does have a lot of gas masks, and you can even make it one for each soldier in the main force. But daily training and actual combat are two different things, and who can guarantee that they can fight at full strength in the poison gas.

Two minutes later, the 110th Artillery Wing immediately went into action.

The devil artillerymen abandoned the grenades and instead used three Type 92 special shells as proposed by Kaho Ishii.

At the same time, divisional 105-mm howitzers opened fire again, and several huge fireballs rose in the open space between the moat and the city walls.

"Yo Xi!"

"It seems that my tactics are very effective, the firepower of the Eighth Route Army is weaker than one notch!"

"Hurry across the river, and before the enemy slows down, be sure to let the sappers approach the city wall with explosives packs!"

······

It turns out that Kaho Ishii's trick really works.

When streams of colorful poisonous gases burst on the city walls, the soldiers of the Shanxi-Chahar-Hebei Military Region suddenly fell into a brief panic.

"Gas!"

"The little devil has poisoned! Everyone put on their gas masks! ”

"Don't panic, just follow the usual training steps! In the past, we could fight with rags, but now with advanced equipment, we don't have to be afraid! ”

With the organization of grassroots commanders, the comrades quickly stabilized their formation, and once again picked up the weapons in their hands to return fire at the enemy below.

But the battlefield is changing in a hurry, and even a minute or two can change the situation.

By the time the fighters of the 33rd Regiment were wearing gas masks, the vanguard of the 108th Brigade had already reached the banks of the moat and began to cross the river with the tools in their hands.

In this situation, some comrades who could not hold their breath had already touched their hands to the secret weapon on the side.

"Don't worry! Hold it all for me! ”

"No one is allowed to throw in advance without my order, and now is not the best time!"

The regiment commander spoke, and the fighters naturally had no objections.

This is not only obedience to the commander, but also trust in a college student.

In the face of the devils who tried to forcibly cross the river, rifles, light and heavy machine guns on the city wall opened fire one after another. With grenades and mortars, the moat was suddenly full of floating corpses, and even the river turned red.

"It's now! Throw! ”

As soon as these words came out, the warriors did not hesitate to grab the glass bottle on the side, and then threw it towards the moat below.

Forty meters away, again from a high place to a low place.

According to Grand Master Li's words, even a girl can throw it, let alone the soldiers of the Eighth Route Army after their physical fitness has been comprehensively improved.

In an instant, tens of thousands of glass bottles, filled with gasoline, were thrown into the moat.

"Grenade! Mortar! 40 fire! Give it all to me! ”

Boom Boom!

In a violent explosion, the moat instantly turned into a sea of fire. The devils who forcibly crossed the river were directly engulfed by the fire when they were caught off guard.

The Japanese infantry in the rear, out of fear of the flames, instinctively wanted to retreat, but the artillery of the 33rd Regiment did not give them a chance to retreat at all.

"The oil of the human body is a natural accelerant. When there are more corpses, the fire can burn more vigorously. ”

"Don't beat the devils who are not dead, let them toss and turn with fire and gasoline. It's not easy to fight a war in winter, we have to help the enemy keep warm! ”

"It's all acquaintances! Let them be themselves in the fire! (End of chapter)
