Not long after, nearly a thousand Japanese infantry were divided into three echelons, and they advanced to a distance of nearly a thousand meters in one charge. Most of the Japanese began to look for limited bunkers or crawled directly to the ground. Only a squadron of about 0 people was left, and the cats were lying.

Waist, walking on a zigzag path, rushing towards the south gate all the way. Soon they advanced to a distance of seven or eight hundred meters.

"Damn it, the Japs just want to use this small force to touch our firepower point. Where did you arrange the Su Canwen who is coming from Yuan Dong?" Jiang Haoran looked back at Li Chang and said.

"I saw him when I first came up. Because he is a precision shooter, I didn't make any arrangements for him. He found the sniper spot by himself. Now I don't know where he is, but he must be on this city wall. How about I

Send someone to look for him?" Li Chang said while looking around, hoping to see Su Canwen.

"No need, Xiaohu, go and call Su Canwu up for me. Li Chang, the troops at the south gate of the command department, send four or five light machine guns to each man to shoot a clip of bullets and then retreat. The light machine guns and rifles on the city wall can

Fire freely, and keep the heavy machine gun silent for now." Jiang Haoran said as he took a 38-meter cap from a soldier, loaded the bullet into the chamber, and followed the steps of the city gate tower.

The muzzle of the gun was pointed out.

After giving the order, the messengers quickly ran to each pass.

The division is an elite field division of the Japanese army. Its combat effectiveness cannot be underestimated. Naturally, the military quality of this Japanese army is not much different. Although there was only one squadron in the first batch, it was in a skirmish formation. Each soldier

The distance between them is five to ten meters. Although machine gun fire can kill enemies, it is not as effective as rifle precision shooting.

There was a gunshot, and the Japs squad leader who was rushing at the front fell to the ground. It was an honor for him to be the first Japanese soldier to meet their Amaterasu in this battle.

Immediately, the machine guns and rifles on the city wall rang out lively. Several crutches in the circular sand barrier at the south gate of the city also began to roar.

As soon as the gunfire rang out, the Japanese who rushed to the front fell to the ground one after another, and those behind immediately lay down and crawled to low-lying areas or few rocks that they thought were safer. Behind the mounds, they fired back with their guns.

Immediately, the Japanese's first machine gun, which hit a dirt bag, began to roar. The machine gunner gritted his teeth and poured bullets desperately towards the machine gun sand barrier at the south gate. He had just fired less than half a box of bullets, and his head fell.

He tilted, his body jerked, and the machine gun suddenly stopped. Seeing this, the deputy machine gunner on the side hurriedly stepped forward and pushed him, "Kojima-kun, what's wrong?" The machine gunner rolled on his back under the force of the push.

When I got off the soil bag, I saw that he was still gritting his teeth, his eyes were bulging as if they were protruding from their sockets, there was a bullet hole in the middle of the helmet, and bright red blood flowed out of the helmet. The deputy machine gunner bent down, as if

He clutched his chest as if he was distressed, and said from between his teeth, "Baga," and then raised his head and reached for the machine gun. "Bang," there was a sound of bullets penetrating the helmet, and the deputy machine gunner also slipped from the soil bag.

He stood down, his eyes as dead as fish, staring at the machine gunner lying next to him, as if there was too much disbelief.

The condescending shooting angle meant that even the Japs lying under rocks or dirtbags were basically completely exposed to the muzzles of the machine gun battalion. Coupled with the precise shooting of brothers Jiang Haoran, Su Canwen and Su Canwu, the Japs' machine guns could not fire at all.

If it didn't go off, even if it did, there would only be a few seconds before someone would be fired upon. From time to time, screams and wails could be heard from the Japs camp. The Japs squadron leader hid in a rock crevice and howled: "Artillery support,

Artillery support!”

On a hillside two miles away, the headquarters of the Japanese army brigade was located here. The brigade leader, Lieutenant Colonel Taro Murakami, basically understood the firepower points of the China Army from the telescope. The most concentrated one was the sand barrier at the south gate. He immediately ordered the artillery

It was included in the key attack. Because it was a siege, he had to ask his superiors for reinforcement of artillery fire. At this moment, the first round of rapid-fire shells from the four 92 infantry guns and two mountain guns immediately took off and went straight to the city wall and the south gate of China.

.But the effect was not ideal. Only two cannonballs landed on the city wall, and the remaining four exploded in front of the sand barrier at the south gate. Soon the artillerymen re-adjusted Zhu Yuan. This time they hit, and two of them flew up.

After reaching the city wall, the remaining four rounds all hit the sand barrier at the south gate. The Chinese soldiers were blown into the sky by the powerful shells, and many stumps and broken arms could even be seen flying out of the sand barrier.

Taro Murakami showed a satisfied smile on his face. While ordering the artillery fire not to stop and destroying the Chinese firepower in depth, he ordered all the infantry to take advantage of the support of the artillery fire to press forward across the board and strive to capture the south gate with one charge. Because the Chinese people

Having already occupied their ammunition warehouse, they did not carry much ammunition. He could only rely on limited artillery support to quickly break through the Chinese defense line, trying to achieve this miraculous feat before the arrival of the commander of the regiment, Colonel Masao Suzuki.

Suddenly, artillery fire was flying on the city wall of Mahuiling, and the south gate turned into a sea of ​​flames. Jiang Haoran and Li Chang were standing on the gate tower of the south gate. The artillery fire below was soaring that they had to go in.

retreat.

"Fuck! Are these Japanese artillery shells free of charge or something? They blasted dozens of my idiots alive." Li Chang howled, stretched his neck, and looked at the guns flying past the muzzle from time to time.

The straw man's stumps and broken arms seemed to be very distressed. Because the south entrance is not the main entrance and is not as grand as the north entrance. It is just slightly larger than the anti-gun hole, so there are only two gun ports that allow people to look out.

.

"Let him bomb! I don't believe he can be so generous without the ammunition warehouse. Let everyone get ready, the Japanese have begun to charge with artillery fire. Don't save me bullets, hit him hard."

Damn it." A sinister smile appeared on Jiang Haoran's face.

The strength of the city wall exceeds everyone's imagination. The main body of the entire city wall is made of large bluestones, and the city wall is even paved with a thick layer of granite. The Japanese 92 infantry cannons and earthworks or brick walls were built.

The structure of the turrets and so on are all accurate one by one. But if you want to break through this stone city wall easily, it doesn't have teeth. Cannonballs continue to fall on the city wall, leaving white marks on the ground. The flying shrapnel whizzes.

The ground flew past the ears of the soldiers lying on the sand barricade. Those soldiers who built the sand barricade too low finally suffered the bitter consequences. Many of them were scarred and some died long ago. The really powerful ones were that several cannonballs hit the sand directly.

The fortress exploded, tearing the soldiers of the machine gun battalion to pieces, and some even flew off the city wall.

The Japanese artillery fire did not stop as quickly as Jiang Haoran imagined. The Japanese army was already pressing down on them. Jiang Haoran had to order all the firepower on the city wall to open fire despite the shells. Li Chang personally led the team and fired at the south gate.

The light and heavy machine guns were also set up. The firepower of the machine gun battalion was quite good. There were thirty or forty light and heavy machine guns alone, but Jiang Haoran hid nearly half of them. The Japanese artillery fire and the attacks of nearly a thousand people made Li Chang feel that the pressure was greatly increased.
