Outside the eastern city of Hunyuan, looking at the city wall that had been completely covered by artillery fire, Li Hao ordered with a serious face: "The troops press up, advance the offensive position to two hundred meters outside the city, and cover the flying thunder cannon fire." ”

"Bang ......"

Three flares rose into the air at the same time, bursting out three dazzling white lights over the battlefield.

Outside the east gate, more than a hundred warriors rushed out of their positions, bent over, carrying sapper shovels on their backs, and approached the city wall in a straggler line.

At the Japanese military headquarters in Hunyuan City, several phones rang at the same time.

A second lieutenant put down the phone and hurriedly reported: "Report sir, the Eighth Route Army outside the east gate has begun to attack!" ”

Shao Zuo asked with a serious face: "How many people are there, the casualties of the East Gate garrison are not large, and can the city fortifications still be used." ”

"There are more than a hundred people!" The ensign who was reporting replied.

"The destroyed city fortifications are all surface positions, and the machine-gun bunkers we built in the walls of the city wall are all intact, and the garrison has less than 30 casualties, so we are fully confident that we can block the attack of the Eighth Route Army and hold the east gate."

"Yo Xi ......" The serious expression on Shaozo's face was quickly replaced by excitement.

Staring at the second lieutenant's eyes, he ordered: "Call the garrison at the east gate, the enemy can't shoot without rushing to the 150-meter machine gun bunker of the city wall." ”

"Those machine-gun bunkers are our killer weapon to hold Hunyuan City, if we don't make a move, we will hit the attacking troops of the Eighth Route Army hard, so that we will not spend a lot of manpower and material resources to build for several months."

"Hey! Give them orders now. The second lieutenant hastened to reply, grabbed the phone and began to call.

"Sir: The Eighth Route Army at Ximen has also begun to attack, with more than a hundred people and at least two heavy machine guns to provide fire cover." Another lieutenant put down the microphone and reported.

"Sir, the Eighth Route Army at the South Gate has also begun to attack the city...... "One of Cao's chiefs reported.

"Order......" Shao Zuo decisively interrupted, did not let his subordinates continue, and then began to give orders.

"All the garrisons of the city must hold their positions, and no one can take a step back without my orders."

"The attacking troops of the Eighth Route Army do not rush to 150 meters outside the city, and the machine gun bunker cannot move."

Outside Hunyuan City, because the Japanese army did not use machine gun bunkers, more than 100 people easily rushed to a position more than 200 meters away from the city wall.

Lie on the ground, pick up the sapper shovel and start digging the pit!

The excavation speed of more than 100 people was very fast, and in less than half an hour, the individual bunker was dug up, and then began to extend to both sides, connecting the individual bunkers together......

The Japanese command, after learning the news that the Eighth Route Army had begun to dig trenches outside the city again, Shao Zuo was not in a hurry at all, and answered easily.

"Let them dig."

"It's only a few hours before dawn, and even if they have thousands of people in turn, it's impossible to dig the trenches to the foot of the walls before dawn."

"After dawn, no matter how many trenches they dig at night, we will blow them to the ground, and our efforts will be in vain."

"So if they want to capture Hunyuan City, they must send infantry to attack us."

"As soon as they attack, they will be exposed in front of our machine-gun bunkers, waiting in line to be eliminated by us."

After nearly an hour of waiting, the sound of explosions reached the command headquarters again, not only more violently than before, but also more intensively.

It sounded as if dozens of heavy artillery pieces were firing at Hunyuan at the same time.

"Report to the sir, the Eighth Route Army has assembled a large number of flying thunder cannons to attack the city wall." An ensign reported with the microphone in his hand.

Shao Zuo's heart that had just been lifted suddenly relaxed.

He replied with a cold snort: "It seems that the Eighth Route Army has no other tricks to attack us." ”

"In front of the strong fortifications of Hunyuan City, we can only repeat the old trick, blowing up a gap with flying thunder cannons to cover the infantry assault."

"But they underestimate the sturdiness of Hunyuan City."

"The explosive package from the flying thunder cannon can only cause damage to the city wall if it hits the city head accurately, but the probability is too low, and the damage is all surface fortifications, and it can't hurt the machine gun bunker in the city wall."

"If it hits the wall of the city wall, the explosive bag will definitely be bounced open and finally fall to the ground and explode, which will not hurt the city wall."

"So this siege method of the garrison has little effect on us."

"Order all the city defense troops to hold their positions and strengthen their vigilance, and the explosives from the Eighth Route Army's flying thunder cannons can't hurt them."

Outside Laiyuan City, looking at the city wall that had been completely shrouded in artillery fire, Li Hao's face was unprecedentedly serious.

Whether the troops can enter Hunyuan City depends on the next attack.

Raising his eyebrows, he ordered: "Flying Thunder Cannon to speed up the firing." ”

"Heavy artillery, heavy mortars, mountain artillery, all fire, I want to use the sound of artillery to cover up the roar of the chariot, so as not to give the Japanese puppet army time to react."

"The assault team will start attacking in three minutes."

"The chariots were covered, and the infantry rushed to the foot of the city walls with lightning speed, blew them up with explosives, and then occupied the city."

"Light mortar groups are ready to fire."

"Shoot as soon as the gap is blown up, cover the walls on both sides of the gap with artillery fire, prevent the little devils from counterattacking the gap, and cover the assault team to occupy the gap."

"Boom ......"

In the midst of a violent explosion, the assault team set off.

Three tanks, six armored vehicles, divided into three lines, each with a platoon of the Eighth Route Army out of the offensive position.

Under the cover of gunpowder smoke and cannon sound, the Japanese puppet army hiding in my squad did not notice the nine steel behemoths.

It was not until the assault team rushed to fifty meters of the city wall, in order to avoid accidental injury, that the heavy artillery, heavy mortars, and flying thunder artillery all stopped firing, and the roar of the chariot "booming ......" reached the ears of the Japanese puppet army.

Through the smoke that was dissipating, I finally saw the tanks and armored vehicles approaching outside the city.

"Baga, the Eighth Route Army is equipped with tanks, shoot immediately and block them." The devil officer in the bunker shouted with a shocked face.

"Da Da Da ......"

The heavy machine guns around quickly opened fire, and the bullets flew towards the tank like money.

In the blink of an eye, the body of the tank was sparked.

But the oncoming tanks were not affected, and continued to approach the city wall.

The Eighth Route Army hid behind tanks and tanks, just in time to avoid the bullets fired from the machine-gun bunkers, and there were no casualties.

The devil officer saw it in his eyes and was anxious in his heart, raised his eyebrows and continued to order: "Report to the command immediately, the Eighth Route Army sent tanks and chariots to attack us, we asked for artillery support, only rapid-fire artillery and direct-fire artillery can destroy these chariots and kill the attacking troops." ”

"The Heavy keeps shooting, the others prepare grenades, follow me up to the city."

"When the enemy's Eighth Route Army approached, we bombarded the infantry behind us with grenades.

"Boom, boom, boom......"

Seven or eight grenades fell from the sky, and the soldiers who followed behind the battlecar were blown up seven or eight before they could react.

This scene happened to be seen by Li Hao, and he raised his eyebrows and ordered: "Light mortar shooting, aim at the city for me, kill the little devils above, and cover the assault team approaching the city wall." ”

"Inform the commandos to blow up the walls with the second option."
