Chapter 318: The decisive battle against Huo Qiu, Yang Jing comes to the front line!(1/2)
"boom!"
"Boom boom boom boom boom boom!"——"
The bombing of the Tiger Ben Cannon Battalion continued. Due to the coordinate guidance provided by the observation soldiers, the shells kept bombing into the pile of Japanese people like a scattered flowers.
Almost 500 meters away from the city wall, the area was blown into a sea of fire.
Some napalm bombs all fell on the Japanese tank by chance. After the bombardment exploded, the entire tank was ignited.
After a short while of raging flames, the tank armor was burned red and turned into a huge iron furnace, burning all the Japanese tank soldiers inside to death.
Some tank soldiers realized that the situation was wrong and decisively opened the top cover and tried to escape, but were suddenly lit by the fireworks that rushed towards them.
...
At 500 meters, the general machine gun, the official rifle, the Type 38 rifle and the absolutely effective range made by Hanyang were fully entered. Almost at the same time as the artillery battalion launched bombardment, the soldiers of the Hu Ben Group and the Independent Group who were guarding the four gates did not hesitate and decisively pulled the trigger.
"Da da da da!"
"Da da da da!"——"
"Bang!"
"Bang bang bang bang bang bang!"——"
As the fierce gunfire suddenly exploded, the bullets poured towards the oncoming Japanese army like storms.
"ah!"
"Ahhhhh!~~~"
Some Japanese devils were lucky enough to avoid the shelling, but they failed to avoid the bullets and fell to the ground screaming.
...
The picture is pulled to the Japanese Joint Command.
Ito Masaki was sitting upright behind a wooden table, and leisurely savored the tea with Shiro Inaba, Junroro Matsuura and others, waiting for the good news ahead to come.
In their opinion, the joint ground-space bombing just now had blown up the entire Huoqiu County into a sea of fire and burned into ashes.
Even if all the Chinese defenders in the city were not burned to death, they would definitely be wiped out and they would not be able to regain their resistance.
At this moment, a Japanese chief officer suddenly rushed in from outside with a hurried look on his face.
Ito Masaki looked up slightly and shouted unhappily: "Baga! Why are you so panicked?"
The Japanese master suddenly paused and said, "Report to the division commander, something is not good! The attacking troops were strongly blocked by the Chinese army, and the Chinese army also threw in incendiary bombs.
At present, the offensive troops have suffered heavy losses. I will ask you for tactical guidance!”
"Nani?" Ito Masaki's eyes suddenly popped up, showing an expression that was even worse than eating shit, and said in disbelief: "Baga! How is this possible?"
After saying that, Ito Masaki suddenly stood up and ran out of the military tent.
Shiro Inaba, Junroro Matsuura and others all stood up in a hurry and followed them out.
Three minutes later, Ito Masahito boarded a small slope a few hundred meters away from the front of the Joint Command, and couldn't wait to raise the telescope in his hand and look towards the city gate.
In the telescope's vision, the entire wilderness outside the South Gate has turned into a sea of thick smoke and flames.
At this moment, several more shells fell one after another, and several larger flames rose on the ground.
Then, Masaki Ito saw that at least dozens of his soldiers were swallowed up by this ball of flames.
Some soldiers were even blown away by the huge shock waves generated by the explosion.
Immediately afterwards, dozens of fire-flying people appeared in Ito Masaki's vision.
Then, these dozens of people fell on the ground one after another without running far away, and there was no movement.
Shiro Inaba and Junroro Matsuura on the side were also observing the current situation.
After a moment, Junroro Matsuura put down the telescope in his hand with an extremely ugly expression and said, "Why are there sulfur bombs in the hands of the Chinese army?"
"No!" Inaba Shiro shook his head and said, "This is not a sulfur bomb, but a kind of incendiary bomb that is more terrifying than a sulfur bomb."
As he said that, Inaba Shiro pointed to the front of his finger and continued, "Look, the body of the Imperial Army soldiers cannot be extinguished after being attached to the burning objects.
This is an effect that the sulfur bomb cannot achieve at all."
Junroro Matsuura frowned and said, "It seems that the joint ground-space bombing before the Imperial Army did not seem to have achieved the effect we imagined.
This is simply incredible!
How did these Chinese people do it? How could they avoid such fierce artillery bombardment from the Imperial Army?”
Hearing Matsuura Junroro's words, Shiro Inaha noticed the constant defenders on the city wall and said, "It seems that these cunning Chinese troops should have dug underground air defense fortifications in Huoqiu City in advance."
While the old Japanese were talking, the Japanese who launched the attack could no longer withstand the huge psychological oppression brought to them by napalm bullets. They fled back with horror on their faces, and they could not help but scold the Japanese officers on the side.
...
In Huoqiu City, the Joint Command of the Guards.
After learning that the Japanese were repelled, Yang Jing immediately called the gun battalion and shouted to Rai's ears: "Extend my firepower immediately!"
"Yes!" Rae'er hung up the phone and conveyed Yang Jing's order.
Yang Jingdao turned his head and ordered Ma Tong on the side: "Ma Tong! Immediately order the defending troops to withdraw from the city wall, retreat into the tunnel, and avoid the Japanese artillery fire counterattack!"
"yes!"
Ma Tong agreed with the promise, then picked up the phone next to him and quickly dialed it.
...
After receiving the command.
Bi Yuntao, Fan Tietou, Yu Zongping, Zhou Zichen and others extended the firepower to the retreating Japanese devils, and immediately led their troops to retreat to the city along the horse road and the collapsed buffer zone.
"boom!"
"Boom boom boom boom boom boom!"——"
At the same time, the firepower of the artillery battalion also came to attack.
Some shells fell among the retreating Japanese people, and they were immediately blown to death and bloody pillows.
"boom!"
One of the shells landed not far from it to Masaki Ito and others. The large slime of sand and mud caused by the violent explosion covered the old Japanese.
They were so scared that they hurriedly hugged their heads with their hands and lay on the ground.
"Baga! Damn it!" Ito Masaki shook the sand on his head and shouted with anger: "Order the imperial army artillery to counter the artillery fire immediately!
Hurry! Hurry!"
"Hayi!"
The Japanese general officer who came to report before got up from the ground, paused his head and ran quickly under the slope.
"Bah!" After Shiro Inaba spit out the sand in his mouth, he turned his head to Ito Masaki with a terrified expression and said, "Itojun, it's not safe here, let's go back to the command center first!"
Although Ito Masaki showed an extremely resentful expression, he finally agreed to Inaba Shiro's proposal.
...
In the city, as soon as the soldiers of the Tiger Ben and Independent Band retreated into the tunnel, the Japanese counter artillery fire fell as promised.
"boom!"
"Boom boom boom boom boom boom!"——"
Under the saturated bombing of the Japanese, the entire Huoqiu County once again turned into a sea of fire.
Although the defenders on the ground retreated into the cave in time, the heavy artillery left on the ground and the 75mm caliber howitzers could not be transferred for a while.
Under the bombardment of the Japanese, they were directly reduced to a pool of scrap iron.
Yu Zongping came to the joint command center of the defenders through the corridor and said excitedly: "Brother Yang, you are so amazing! With your superb command, the artillery fire that the Japanese proud of has completely become fireworks and firecrackers for our army to celebrate victory!"
"Hahaha!"
The rest of the people in the command center also burst into laughter.
Yang Jing said with a serious expression: "Things are not that simple. Even if we withstand the attack of the Japanese, their troops are still several times more than ours!
And, if nothing unexpected happens, our army's artillery position on the ground should have been blown up by the Japanese!"
"Lingling!"
"Lingling!——"
As soon as Yang Jing finished speaking, a rapid phone ringing rang in the command center.
As soon as Ma Tong picked up the microphone, his face collapsed. After a moment, Ma Tong said, "The situation is indeed not as expected. Because our artillery was not transferred, all of our artillery turned into scrap iron under the Japanese artillery bombardment."
When everyone heard this, their faces became gloomy.
Yang Jing said: "You don't have to worry too much. If nothing unexpected happens, the tunnel can be dug through tomorrow morning at most, and maybe even earlier.
As long as we withstand the Japanese attack today, the problem will not be big."
