"Boom..."

The Japanese shelling continued. Within two minutes, the Xiangfen city wall was covered with gunpowder smoke and rolling smoke from the explosion of the shells.

Because he could not see the situation in the city, Wang Ping could only stare at him. His confidence a few minutes ago was also greatly reduced by the powerful power shown by the Japanese heavy artillery.

"Dingling..."

Suddenly, the phone behind me rang.

Before the communications officer could react, Wang Ping had turned around and picked up the phone and put it in his ear.

"I am Wang Ping... How is the situation in the city?"

"Report to the regiment commander, your order just now was too timely. As soon as the troops were transferred, two anti-aircraft holes built on the city wall were blown down. However, there was still a platoon that had moved a little slower, and was buried by the collapsed anti-aircraft holes, and all were sacrificed~"

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

The Japanese lost two platoons before the attack began, and they were the main platoons, which was definitely a huge blow to Wang Ping.

His face suddenly turned ashen, and hesitated and asked: "Can the machine gun castle we dug into the city wall withstand the attack of the Japanese heavy artillery!"

"Okay... the leader..." An answer that made Wang Ping breathe a sigh of relief came from the receiver.

"So far, all machine gun castles are intact. But for safety, I still let the machine gunners temporarily withdraw!"

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

Then he ordered to the microphone: "Captain Jin, although the power of the Japanese heavy artillery is far beyond our estimates. However, you have a machine gun castle, and there are enough grenades and grenades. Therefore, the mission given to you by the regiment headquarters remains unchanged. Withstand the Japanese attacks twice, retreat to the city and cooperate with the three new garrison battalions to fight street battles with the Japanese!"

"Please rest assured to ensure that the task is completed!" Jin Kai's firm and powerful answer soon spread from the receiver.

Heavy artillery is different from ordinary artillery, and its cost and maintenance are far higher than ordinary artillery. Therefore, even if the Japanese are well-equipped and have their own military system, heavy artillery is still a treasure for them.

The twelve heavy artillery shot for ten minutes and was stopped by Lieutenant General Ito.

"The field artillery continued to be bombarded for five minutes. The first and second squadrons of the Guard Brigade immediately entered the starting position. After the field artillery artillery stopped, they launched an attack directly under the cover of the mortar squadron and heavy machine gun squadron, broke through the city walls of Linfen City, rushed into the city, and took down the defending troops!"

"Hi!" the chief of staff next to him replied loudly, and then signaled the combat staff behind him to give orders.

Lieutenant General Ito hesitated for a while and continued to order: "Contact the 137th Regiment with two infantry brigades left, speed up and rush to Xiangfen City, and let me surround Xiangfen City, so that an Eighth Route Army in the city will break through..."

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

More than a dozen mortars of the mortar squadron stared at the top of the city and continued to shoot. More than a dozen heavy machine guns lined up and shot bullets at the top of the city continuously.

It seems that everything is moving in a direction that is good for oneself.

"The division commander, the Eighth Route Army on the top of the city has begun to fight back... There are almost no machine guns, and there seems to be only one company of troops~"

"Of course!" the division commander replied arrogantly.

"The power of heavy artillery is not comparable to ordinary mountain artillery... I guess these eighth Route Army has never seen heavy artillery before, and they still defend our heavy artillery artillery according to the standards of defending ordinary artillery. As a result, the power of our heavy artillery is too great, which directly makes their fortifications useless, and then they lose their troops and lose their generals, leaving only this little force to defend the city wall..."

The Chief of Staff agreed with this approach very much and replied with a compliment: "The division commander is wise, it must be because of this reason!"

"The Eighth Route Army defending the city was seriously injured and killed by our heavy artillery attack... Bei Zhi believes that we should take this opportunity to take down the city wall and kill into the city!"

"Yosi..." Lieutenant General Ito was very satisfied with this answer.

"Send a signal to the offensive troops immediately. There are not many troops defending the city of the Eighth Route Army. Let them strengthen their fortifications and break through the city wall!"

At the sight of Lieutenant General Ito, the distance between the attacking troops and the city wall 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 emerged from the city wall with only sporadic guns.

Immediately afterwards, these grenades and grenades smashed down like it was raining.

"The artillery continued to fire... and grenade launchers, and counterattack immediately, and use artillery shells and grenades to kill the Eighth Route Army under the city. As long as you kill them, the city will be ours!" Lieutenant General Ito ordered anxiously.

The Japanese reacted very quickly. Not long after, the sound of shell explosions overwhelmed the grenade and the strong smoke covered the city.

Lieutenant General Ito still underestimated his opponent.

During the violent explosion, although there were fewer grenades thrown out from the city wall, they did not stop.

The offensive troops were constantly killed by explosions. In less than a few minutes, more than half of the two squadrons were injured and killed. All the remaining soldiers were lying on the ground, waiting for the artillery to kill the remaining Eighth Route Army on the city and stop advancing.

"Retreat... Order the offensive troops to retreat..." Lieutenant General Ito made a decision quickly.

If the stalemate continues, even if the offensive troops can take down the city wall, the troops will suffer heavy losses and are not cost-effective.

"Heavy Artillery Brigade, Field Artillery Brigade, be prepared... The troops retreated fifty meters and fired the artillery, not giving the Eighth Route Army the city to the top of the city a chance to transfer~"

"This time I will kill them completely so that they will defend the city wall without any mistakes..."

After leaving nearly two hundred corpses, more than a hundred Japanese left behind were watching a pair of gloomy eyes in Lieutenant General Ito and retreated in a mess, and then a violent explosion once again enveloped the entire battlefield.

At the front command of the new first regiment, when he saw Jin Kai repelling the Japanese attack without using a machine gun castle, he just smiled, and the harsh whistle and violent explosion directly made the smile on his face frozen.

"The Japanese are too cruel, obviously targeting our defending troops... The regiment commander, after this shelling, the troops guarding the city wall must have suffered heavy losses..." Zhong Chenggong said with a calm face.

"The commander of the Japanese division is very cunning and ruthless... While we tried our best to consume them, he was also seizing every opportunity to attack us and consume us. And now this shelling is an excellent opportunity for him to kill most of our infantry company without wasting a soldier and a soldier just using shells..."

"There is no way, we don't have heavy artillery, we can only watch the Japanese use heavy artillery to bomb our soldiers... When we have heavy artillery, I will let the Japanese taste the smell of being bombed one day, and their bodies are torn into pieces by heavy artillery shells..."

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

"More than two thousand Japanese soldiers joined the battle... The real pressure of the Chief of Staff, the Assault Battalion and the three newly formed battalions has just begun now... Contact Jin Kai and Li Wen immediately to prepare them!"
