In five minutes, a total of 150 heavy artillery shells were fired in the Japanese garrison camp south of the city.

More than 100 barracks in a row have been reduced to rubble, not a single one of them is intact, and at least two hundred little devils have been buried inside and have not come out.

The worst is the ammunition depot.

Not to mention the bomb that had been detonated to raze the house, it had also blown a five-meter-deep crater in the middle of the house.

The surroundings are littered with burning ammunition boxes and wooden structures supporting the houses.

The camp assembly area was littered with dozens of craters, surrounded by motionless corpses.

At a glance, it was densely packed, some people were holding rifles, some were still holding light machine gun handles, and some people were not even wearing military uniforms, holding rifles in one hand and pulling armed belts in the other......

The captain was lucky not to be killed.

Looking at the tragic scene in front of him, a pair of eyes seemed to be able to breathe fire, red and red.

The left hand, which was holding the command knife, and the right hand, which had been clenched into a fist, were shivering with anger and bruises.

"Sir, the losses have been counted: there are 519 people left in the entire brigade who can continue to fight, and the remaining soldiers have 398 killed in battle, and 159 are seriously wounded and incapacitated." The deputy captain of the brigade came over and lowered his head and reported.

"In addition, our telephone contact with the brigade headquarters was cut off, and the radio station of the brigade headquarters was blown up."

"During the shelling just now, there was also the sound of artillery from the brigade headquarters, and they must have been shelled as well."

"Someone has been sent to contact the brigade command, and there should be news back soon."

The captain gritted his teeth and replied, "We don't have time to wait any longer. ”

"If the Eighth Route Army covers us with artillery fire again, the losses of the troops will increase, and I don't want the troops to not even see the shadow of the enemy, and they will be blown up by artillery fire for another one or two hundred people for no reason."

"Order all the soldiers who can still move to disperse into the fortifications of the city, and all the wounded into the fortifications, although there is no way to fight, but the soldiers who are fighting can be loaded with bullets."

Outside Laiyuan City, the second and third battalions of the garrison regiment, the special service battalion, and the independent battalion have approached to a position one kilometer away from the city wall and are on standby.

Whether to attack Laiyuan City or not, they are still waiting for news.

The four artillery positions of the heavy artillery battalion were also adjusted according to the new firing crews, and the barrels of the black holes pointed directly at the sky, aiming at the four walls of Laiyuan City.

The shells are also ready and ready to fire.

At this moment, they are also waiting for news.

In front of the enemy headquarters of the garrison regiment, Li Hao stared at the Laiyuan city defense map with a contemplative expression.

Whether the troops want to continue the offensive or not, as long as he gives an order, it is enough.

But Li Hao didn't speak.

He was also in a hurry, but the situation in the city had not yet been reported, and the result of the artillery attack just now was still unknown, so it was useless to be anxious.

If the results of the battle do not meet expectations, the troops rashly launch an attack, not only will they not be able to take Laiyuan City, but they will also lose their troops in the end, and the gains outweigh the losses.

"Commander, there's news from the observation post." The chief of staff rushed in like a wind, with a smile on his face.

"In the rapid artillery attack just now, all four artillery positions hit the target, and a loud explosion was heard in the south and east of the city, which should be the ammunition depot was hit, and the ammunition hoarded inside was detonated by us."

"The other two camps were also bombed into a sea of fire, and all the houses were razed to the ground, although it is impossible to catch up with the specific casualty data of the Japanese puppet army, but judging from the effect of the shelling, their casualties are definitely not small."

"There is also the headquarters of the Japanese brigade, all the houses were razed to the ground by artillery fire."

"Even if the commander of the Little Devil Brigade is not killed, if you want to re-establish contact with the troops and restore the command system, you will definitely not be able to do it in an hour."

Li Hao no longer hesitated, and directly ordered with a murderous face: "Chief of Staff, send a signal to all the attacking troops, start attacking the city, and take Laiyuan City before dawn." ”

"Heavy artillery battalions should not save shells, as long as the attacking troops need it, they will do whatever it takes to reinforce them."

"The flying thunder artillery platoon that cooperates with the attack of each battalion must have enough explosives packed, and when attacking, don't be polite when you encounter a little devil, directly bombard with flying thunder, and take Laiyuan City at the lowest cost."

"As for the houses in Laiyuan City, if they are blown up, they will be blown up."

"As long as we can defeat the little devils, we will have a big deal to rebuild Laiyuan City."

"Woooooooooo......oo Rumble ......"

The sound of artillery fire, which had been stopped for ten minutes, rang out again, and soon enveloped the entire battlefield.

It didn't take long for the four walls to be enveloped in artillery fire.

There are more than 500 puppet troops on each wall, and there are dozens of devils behind them, and the muzzles of the black holes are pointed directly at their backs, as long as anyone dares to turn around and retreat, these rifle machine guns will definitely shoot deadly bullets at them.

The road was blocked, and they could only hide behind the battlements and shiver, praying that the shells falling from the sky would not fall on their side.

"Boom ......"

In less than five minutes, a gap was blown open in the south of the city.

The 7th Company of the Heavy Artillery Battalion, which shelled the headquarters of the Japanese brigade, decisively joined the battle and stared at the gap in the city wall.

In less than two minutes, the gap of more than ten meters has expanded to more than thirty meters.

The bricks and earth from the collapse of the walls were also piled up on a gentle slope outside the city, making it easier for the attacking troops to break through the gaps.

Under the cover of artillery fire, the third battalion had already approached a position 500 meters outside the city.

Seeing the gap appear, Huang Sheng decisively chose the breakthrough there, and began to give orders as soon as his brows twisted.

"Inform the artillery unit that the artillery fire will extend after two minutes, concentrate all mortars to cover the gap, and prevent the enemy from attacking the gap."

"The first company attacked as the main attacking force, the second and third battalions covered, occupied the gap, and then launched a surprise attack on the city walls on both sides of the gap, first ate the remaining puppet troops on the city head, occupy the city fortifications, and then enter the city."

The combat effectiveness of the puppet army is not very good in the first place.

In peacetime, it is okay to have the support of the Japanese, and to fight some tailwind battles under the cover of Japanese planes and heavy artillery.

When encountering this kind of tough battle, it was very good that it was bombarded by the heavy artillery of the Eighth Route Army, and it did not collapse on the spot, and it was impossible to raise the slightest intention of resistance.

Of course, the brigade commander also did not count on how many Eighth Route Corps they could destroy.

The reason why they were allowed to defend the city was for one purpose, to serve as cannon fodder for the imperial army in the city, to drag the attacking troops of the garrison regiment, and to buy time for the imperial army to enter the street fighting fortifications.

In the face of the Eighth Route Army, which killed the head of the city, he did not resist and directly raised his hands to surrender.

In less than half an hour, the gunfire in the south of the city stopped.

Nearly 200 puppet soldiers became prisoners of the garrison, bowed their heads, shrugged their shoulders and walked down the city.

Huang Sheng stood at the head of the city, looking at the quiet and somewhat scary Laiyuan City in front of him, he knew that the remaining little devils were ready for battle, and were hiding in a corner of the street waiting for the Eighth Route Army to appear and give a deadly attack to the attacking troops under his command.
