The artillery bombardment of Heyuan County was of course the artillery battalion of the special service regiment led by Gao Yuanzhi.

At this moment, they had all set up their artillery on the slopes of the Water God Mountain.

36 artillery pieces opened fire with all their might, and the shells rained down on a section of the newly repaired city wall in the north of Heyuan County.

After a few rounds of shelling, the city wall was blown up with rubble and seemed to be crumbling.

……

On the mountain road a few kilometers away, Yang Yuanshan ran sweating profusely with his soldiers.

Hearing the sound of cannons, he immediately ordered Han Yang:

"Han Yang, the artillery battalion has opened fire, you immediately take my guard company to support them now.

I led the team around the western hillside to the south gate of Heyuan County, ready to intercept the little devil! ”

"What? South Gate?

Regiment commander, do you still want to use our little troops to make dumplings for the little devils in Heyuan County?

That's not realistic, is it?

I suggest that we gather the whole group, from the north, and slowly enter the county seat.

If the independent regiment can arrive, we will let the independent regiment pursue the little devil rout, if they can't catch up, it will not affect us to take Heyuan County. ”

"No, the most important thing is to eliminate the little devils, this Heyuan County is here, and it won't run!"

Yang Yuanshan was resolute.

He is very clear about the truth of "saving land and losing people, people and land, saving people and losing land, and people and land".

As long as the little devil veterans are eliminated, the territory occupied by the little devils will sooner or later belong to our army.

"However, to defend an artillery battalion with a guard company is too weak!"

Han Yang was still a little hesitant.

In fact, he almost wanted to scold Yang Yuanshan for messing around-

Since he had the idea of surrounding the little devils, he obviously shouldn't have let the artillery battalion fire first.

How should we wait for the infantry to be in place, ambush to a favorable position, dig a good trench, and then start the battle!

How can an ambush war be turned into an encounter like now?

Isn't that stupid?

There's a serious illness!

The casualty rate of an encounter is much greater than that of an ambush, don't you have any points in your heart?

Of course, Yang Yuanshan didn't know that Han Yang was scolding himself for being blind in his heart, so he replied confidently:

"Not weak!

On the one hand, the little devils may not dare to attack out of the city;

On the other hand, Feng Shuanglin's anti-aircraft guns were in the back.

In case the little devils really go out of the city, you only need to hold on for a while, and they will be able to arrive, and when the time comes, 14 machine guns will fire, and how many little devils will come and how many will die! ”

"But—"

Han Yang wanted to struggle a little more.

"Not so much, but not so much!

Time is pressing, Han Yang, carry out the order! ”

Yang Yuanshan is categorical!

Seeing his resolute attitude, Han Yang had no choice but to nod and accept the order.

"Yes! Mission completion guaranteed! ”

Yang Yuanshan immediately asked Wang Ye to follow Han Yang with the guard company, while he and Wang Quanfa led the others to the west.

He didn't tell Han Yang that of course there was a reason why he was in such a hurry to fight such a battle that violated common sense.

It's just that this reason is not easy to explain to him now.

……

Mount Shuishen, the position of the artillery battalion.

Gao Yuanzhi felt that this war was like fun.

The little devil was wiped out by Wang Gensheng in the artillery squadron, and now there is no mountain artillery to fight back.

And the infantry of the little devils are now cowering in the city and not coming out at all.

Their artillery battalion was completely devoid of any pressure.

So he simply led the soldiers to treat the artillery bombardment as a live-fire training, and carefully taught the artillery skills.

Many gunners and ammunition men who are not very skilled in gunnery, under his hands-on teaching, have gained a lot of experience, and the more accurate they are.

It just so happened that in order to prevent the barrel of the artillery from turning red or even exploding, they could not shoot for a long time and with a high rate of fire, so let these two-knife gunners fight slowly without delay at all!

Later, Gao Yuanzhi even let the gunners in the battalion master all the artillery shooting techniques of the battalion, and also made a rotation, letting the howitzer gunners play mountain artillery and the mountain artillery gunners play cannons.

The artillerymen came to a deluxe version of live-fire training, and the gunnery was greatly improved.

……

When they started playing, the members of the Beizhuang guerrillas were all stupid.

They never imagined that one day, our troops would be able to shell for such a long time and at a high density.

Some team members even asked about You Erhu:

"Captain, are they really our troops?

It can't be the usual troops pretending, right?

That's a waste of shells, isn't it?

Aren't we 'three guns and eight ways'? ”

You Erhu also opened his mouth wide, looking at the dense cannonballs that streaked across the sky like a meteor shower, and didn't know what to say.

It took a long time before he nodded and said:

"I have long heard Lao Qi of the militia team of Qiliyu Village say that the new main force in the northwest of Shanxi is very arrogant, I still half-believe it, but I didn't expect Lao Qi to be too stingy, where is this main force arrogant, it is simply a rich man!

This cannonball is like not asking for money! ”

……

On the wall of Heyuan County, the little devils are all hiding behind the battlements of the city wall and shivering.

The captain of the brigade, Kurata Shizuyuki Shaosa, originally thought that the shelling of our army would only last ten minutes at most, and it would be about the same.

After all, each shell of these heavy artillery shells is worth a lot of money!

But he didn't expect that after Gao Yuanzhi's shelling for ten minutes, he didn't stop at all, but continued to bombard.

Then twenty minutes...... Thirty minutes......

I didn't even mean to stop!

This is a bit outrageous, he couldn't help but brave the shrapnel flying everywhere, shouting to the soldiers next to him:

"Yaga!

The cannonballs of the Dirt Eight Road are never used up, are they? ”

Hearing his shout, Nakata Shouzaburo next to him also echoed indignantly:

"Kurata-kun, Tubalu must have the support of other forces, otherwise how could there be so many shells?

The strength of this artillery fire, I think it is not worse than an artillery wing of my locust army, it is simply terrifying! ”

"There must be moths inside the locust army!

Look at their artillery, most of them are Type 41 75mm mountain guns! ”

Kurata Shizuyuki roared.

But no matter how angry he roars, he can't change the reality that he can only be passively bombed.

Seeing the shrapnel flying in the sky, sweeping through the city, and his own side suffered heavy casualties, he could only order:

"Leave the observation post, the others, quickly drip, remove the wall and hide!"

Hearing this order, the little devils suddenly felt like they had been pardoned, and after receiving the order in unison, they withdrew from the city wall.

However, as soon as they withdrew, they heard a "boom", and the city wall, which had not been repaired for a long time, collapsed.

A gentle slope several meters high is formed.

Seeing this, Kurata Shizuyuki was immediately frightened, and hurriedly shouted frantically:

"Hurry up, go up to the city wall, plug the gap, and don't let the earth eight roads rush in!"

When the little devil soldiers heard this, they immediately scolded angrily in their hearts: Baga!

One moment to remove the city wall, and the next time let us rush up the city wall, playing monkeys?

Didn't you see that the shells of the Dirt Eight Road were still exploding desperately?

Don't you know that if we are not careful, we will be shot by shrapnel?

Eight grid tooth road!

Damn idiot!

Although everyone is MMP in their hearts, but at this moment on the battlefield, the military orders are like a mountain, and they can only carry guns and brave flying shelnel to rush to the city wall and plug the gap.

However, just as they waited for the enemy's army to suddenly rush out of the mountains and rush towards it, there was no movement in their field of vision.

Only the shells continued to fall, as if the gap was too small.

At this moment, the little devil soldiers are uncomfortable.

Every time a cannonball falls, it will roll up countless soul-grabbing rubble, hitting them crying and crying for their mother.

Even if they have already fallen down with all their strength and their heads in their hands, they still can't avoid this terrible thing!

Seeing this situation, Kurata Shizuyuki couldn't help but have a question mark on his face, and shouted angrily:

"The generals of the Eighth Road, will there be a war in the end?

Since we have collapsed our walls with artillery, why not order the infantry to rush up?

Do they think that they can take our Heyuan county seat by artillery alone?

It's crazy too! ”

Nakata Shouzaburo was speechless when he saw that he was still in the mood to think about this.

Hurriedly reminded:

"Kurata-kun, the artillery fire on the Tsuchihachi Road is so fierce, but there is no infantry to cooperate, maybe their infantry is not in place at all.

I think it's better to send a brigade of warriors out of the city and destroy the artillery of the Dirt Eight Road! ”

"Yaga!

Stupidity!

You are pinning your hopes of victory on the stupidity of the dirt road! ”

Kurata Shizuyuki scolded angrily.

Then he considered that the other party was at the same level as himself, and still explained:

"How is it possible that there are artillery units that rush to attack when the infantry is not in place?

Have they lived enough?

The reason why Tubalu is making such a seemingly abnormal move now must be to attract us to give up the strong city defense and take the initiative to go out and die!

We must not fall for it!

What's more, General Okamura strictly ordered us not to leave the city, do you want to disobey the military order? ”

When Nakata Shouzaburo heard his clever explanation, he also felt that it made some sense, so he could only nod:

"Hey! Kurata-kun is right!

So what do we do now? ”

"Street fighting!

Since there are a lot of artillery pieces on the Eighth Road, let's fight with them in the streets!

Disperse the locust warriors into the city in small teams to minimize their artillery superiority! ”

Kurata Shizuyuki said the method he had just come up with, and the more he said it, the brighter his eyes became, and he suddenly felt that this was really a magic weapon to defeat the enemy.

If Yang Yuanshan knew what this little devil thought, he would probably look up to the sky and laugh and mock him: If you want to fight with me in the streets, you are also worthy?

Wait until I teach you how to be a good man with heavy machine guns and machine guns!

Nakata Shouzaburo couldn't help frowning when he heard that Kurata Shizuyuki wanted to fight in the streets.

He is also a battle-hardened veteran, can he not know the cruelty of street fighting?

Absolutely kill 1,000 enemies and lose 800 yourself!

But right now, seeing that his side was blown up by the artillery fire of the special service group, he had to admit that this plan was indeed a bit interesting!

Immediately nodded and said:

"Yo Si!

Kurata-kun, then it's time for us to act! ”

"Roar!

Act now, drip! ”

Following his order, the little devils who were originally lying on the ground and being bombed immediately crawled down the city, ready to reorganize their team, and then dispersed and retreated into the city, ready to fight with the secret service group in the streets.
