Chapter 104 Bloody Battle of the Yunnan Army in Jin Province

After Hashimoto issued an order to bombard.

The Japanese artillery commander stepped forward and grinned: "Observer!"

"Report wind speed and direction!"

"Hi!" The observer nodded and stood up: "Southwest wind, wind speed is level 4!"

Upon hearing this, the artillery soldier immediately shouted: "Low, listen to the order."

"Southwest wind, wind speed is level 4, meter 517, elevation angle is forty-eight degrees and fifty-three minutes;"

"The direction is right, zero, zero, high and low, third load, two volleys."

As the Japanese Nakazo finished speaking, the Japanese artillery soldiers began to turn the handle of the artillery.

The long gun barrels were also lifted.

A Japanese gunner carried the shell out of the shell box.

The second gunner took the shell and stuffed the shell into the barrel. After confirming that the loading was completed, the gate was closed.

Immediately afterwards, the Japanese devil's flag bearer waved the flag in his hand.

The Japanese artillery pulled the rope of the artillery and let out a "boom boom".

The cannon body vibrates!

Dozens of shells headed towards Shimen Town like sharp arrows.

The shells drew arcs in the air and landed in Shimen Town!

"Boom...Boom..."

Shimen Town!

The Yunnan Army, who were defending a regiment here, was now confused.

When did the Japanese come to Shimen Town?!

Such intensive shelling shows that the Japanese have a large number of troops.

The two shells in front of Hashimoto's detachment were test shots!

The Japanese observers, after observing the landing point of the shells, report immediately, and the artillery immediately rests the coordinates.

After adjusting the coordinates, dozens of artillery fired at Shimen Town again.

This shelling!

The high ground outside Shimen Town, a battalion defending was about to be blown away.

Twenty minutes have passed!

There are less than one battalion soldiers in the outer position of Shimen Town now.

Takaji Hashimoto put down the telescope in his hand.

"Order the troops and attack me!"

"Fight for a charge and take down Shimen Town!"

"Hi!" Fujita nodded and bowed.

He waved the command knife in his hand.

A large group of Japanese soldiers picked up the Type 38 rifle in their hands and headed towards Shimen Town.

On the field positions outside the city.

A platoon of Yunnan Army had not had time to build a firepower network, but it was destroyed by the artillery fire of the Japanese brigade.

Less than ten minutes!

The brigade commanded by Fujita easily took the position outside Shimen Town.

As for the Shangdian Army troops of the city defense fortifications.

Under the previous artillery bombardment, there is still one battalion left in the two battalions.

The Yunnan Army lacks artillery fire, and a regiment has only a few mortars.

However, the Japanese brigade not only had mortars, but also Type 92 infantry cannons.

A major battalion commander on the city defense fortifications.

Seeing the ghost soldiers coming up in pieces, he ordered the light and heavy machine guns to fire.

"Dadada..."

The light and heavy machine guns kept spitting flames, and the bullets were sprinkled at the Fujita brigade like flowing water.

Dozens of Japanese soldiers were shot and fell to the ground, and the Japanese soldiers' offensive offensive suddenly broke.

Five hundred meters behind the infantry.

The artillery team of the brigade is setting up artillery positions.

Eight mortars and four Type 92 infantry cannons were scattered in one stroke, and the long muzzles were aimed at the Yunnan Army.

Mortars are the first to launch shelling!

"Swish swish swish swish..."

Eight shells cut through the sky and aimed at the firepower point of the Yunnan Army's light and heavy machine guns.

"Machine gun...machine gun..."

"Transfer now!"

Captain Zeng shouted loudly, but his shouting was still half a beat slower.

The Japanese mortars have killed several machine guns from the Yunnan Army.

"Boom...Boom..."

After a violent explosion.

The Maxim heavy machine gun on the city tower had already emitted black smoke, and the machine gun instantly turned into scrap iron.

The barrel of the Czech light machine gun was twisted into twists, and a burst of black smoke spread out.

Several machine gunners also collapsed to the ground, blood flowing.

After the mortar bombed, four Type 92 infantry cannons also began to roar.

The shells flew on the Yunnan Army's positions.

Many soldiers of the Yunnan Army were swept out by waves, shrapnel splashing, and the Yunnan Army soldiers were wailing in pain.

"battalion commander!"

"Battery Commander...Battery Commander..."

A company commander stumbled to Battalion Commander Zeng's side.

"The Japanese are so firepower!"

"We are so many people who can't stop the Japanese."

"Let's withdraw our troops as soon as possible while the Japanese have not broken the city."

Captain Zeng's eyes froze, "Li Shaojie, you fucking little guy is talking about the withdrawal of troops here."

"Shimen Town is on the wing of Niangzi Pass. If Shimen Town is not protected, Niangzi Pass will be broken."

"Now the city defense fortifications have not been lost, we can still fight!"

"I'll hold back. When the gunshots in Shimen Town sound, the division commander will definitely send reinforcements."

When Li Shaojie saw Captain Zeng's fire-breathing eyes, he had to say, "Yes!"

"Battery Commander, the Japanese are so firepowerful. Don't our regiment have six 82mm mortars?"

"The regiment commander is killed. Now you have the highest position. Let's use these six cannons!"

Battalion Commander Zeng waved his hand: "It's not the time!"

"These six cannons must be used at critical moments."

"No one can withdraw without my order!"

Li Shaojie saluted Battalion Commander Zeng, "Yes!"

A battalion of the Yunnan Army relied on the dangerous terrain of Shimen Town to block the attack of Fujita Brigade.

Takaji Hashimoto is at the back!

Seeing that the Yunnan Army on the city tower was still resisting, his brow frowned slightly.
