march to victory

According to normal procedures, the infantry began to move out before the shelling ended.

However, there was a slight change this time. After the bombardment ended for a while, the little devil infantry who had been waiting for a long time received the order to attack... Although this is a little unreasonable, but in the arrogant and arrogant In the hearts of the little devils, this little delay is a delay, and it's no big deal.Under the iron hooves of the invincible Imperial Japanese Army, all enemies will be crushed, at most a few more people will die.

In fact, the main reason for the delay for a while is that the top commander on the right side of the little devil was reminded by one of his subordinates, only to realize that there was no enemy in the shelling just now, which is obviously inappropriate. Common sense.

Then, you have to line up infantry to attack.

Once the infantry was dispatched, the mountain cannons were not suitable for shelling, so twenty small steel cannons appeared on the stage.

"Boom! Boom! Boom..."

A strange scene appeared: the shells exploded on the city wall for free, and the little devils also charged quickly.However, there was not a single enemy on the city wall, not even a gun.As a result, on the entire battlefield at the Nancheng Gate, there was only the sound of shells exploding, but not even a single gunshot could be heard.

The weirder the scene, the more suspicious it would be, and the heavier the pressure would naturally be.

Especially the little devils in front were the most sensitive to this silent pressure: at the beginning, in order to prevent the enemy from firing on the city wall, they all wanted to get as close as possible before the guns on the city wall fired. .However, as they got closer and closer to the city wall, not only could no one be seen on the city wall, there was not even a gunshot, which made the little devils start to worry instead.

This worry, the speed is naturally getting slower and slower.

In the end, the little devils held their guns and aimed at the city wall, almost like detecting mines. They were careful with each step, so they didn't have the slightest momentum of charging and the posture of besiegers.

Because of the reminder from his subordinates earlier, at this time, the top commander of the little devil standing in the forest behind naturally also noticed: earlier, the hillside was hit and bombarded at a point, and the shelling did not directly hit the wall. Therefore, there was no attack. A blown human body or spilled blood is considered normal.However, now, most of the shells from the small steel cannons landed on the city wall, but they still didn't see any blown corpses or spilled blood, which is absolutely abnormal.

It's as if one side is attacking the city with all its strength, while the defending side seems to have given up resistance. You are allowed to attack the city without showing your face.

So much so that the little devil's supreme commander couldn't help but have such a question in his mind: Is the report of the previous aircraft reconnaissance wrong?The assault group is playing empty city tricks with us?Otherwise, it is really unreasonable!Even if you want to engage in street fighting, there is no reason to voluntarily give up the defense of the city wall. You must know that the defense of the city wall can definitely cause a huge casualty rate to the attacking party, which will not be much worse than street fighting. Moreover, its own casualty rate is absolutely Much smaller than street fighting.Therefore, since the free record of the war history, I have never heard of a battle in which the defenders voluntarily gave up the defense of the city wall.

After negating this question, the supreme commander of the little devil's right army thought for a while, and immediately ordered: increase the bombardment.

As a result, another ten small steel cannons were adjusted up, increasing the density and intensity of the bombardment of the South City Gate, and even spreading the range of bombardment regularly.

As a result, several wall piles were blown away, and the sandbag fortification behind it could be seen with the naked eye, but there was no one person or a gun.It's like everyone is attacking an abandoned empty city, worrying about deceit, and hoping that their dreams will come true.

At this time, if the little devil can look down from the air, he will definitely find that behind the south city wall, it has been transformed into a big change: behind the south city gate, there is a road about seven meters wide, 25 meters long, and two meters high. shed, no!To be precise, it is a fortification artillery zone.Because all the wood there was taken from the city gates and buildings that had been demolished long ago, and even the top was directly covered with wood with a thickness of seven to eighty centimeters for artillery protection, a layer of wood, and gravel on top. And soil, and cover it with a layer of wood. In this way, three layers are covered. Even if the mountain cannon can't be protected, but if the mountain cannon shell explodes, it will definitely not hit the people hiding below. At most, it will blow up some people. It's just the cover, not to mention the much less powerful small steel cannon shells, it can definitely prevent it... The parabolic trajectory of the mountain cannon shells is not as obvious as the small steel cannon shells, let alone that kind of arc, so, generally speaking , even if a little devil wants to bomb this place with a mountain cannon shell, he must first blow up the city wall, otherwise, he will never directly bomb here.

In other words, such a shed is absolutely safe.

And there are three such sheds, the one on the right is a hundred meters away from the one in the middle, and the one on the left is at most 60 meters away from the one in the middle.Moreover, they are all built on the edge of the steps that can go up the city wall.

Especially the one in the middle was built directly under the tower, and a simple ladder was built with wood and boards, which can directly go up to the flat ground of the tower... The reason why it was built here is not only because it is the center of the south gate More importantly, Liu Bing used psychological tactics: Anyone who saw the city gate and building being demolished would subconsciously think that there was no one there, and there would be no hiding people.

In fact, on the city wall, two soldiers were left as observers at intervals. For the rest, no one, not even a weapon, was placed on the city wall. Of course, the fortifications that had been laid long ago, such as sandbags and the like Naturally, it is indispensable to set up in advance.However, in these three sheds, each shed hides a company... There is also a company as a mobile unit, which is almost a reserve force, and it will be reinforced there when the battle on that section of the city wall is tight.

In this way, it can be guaranteed that not only can the loss be minimized, but also, once the little devil rushes to a certain distance under the city wall—generally within 20 meters, it can make the opponent's artillery afraid of being exploded. Injure one's own people, it can bring the little devil closer to the maximum, so that it is easy to shoot accurately.This side can quickly rush up the city wall, definitely faster than the opponent, and then they can beat the little devil hard.

It can be seen from this that Liu Bing has really learned a lot of shady skills from Zhang Qingshan. You must know that if the former Liu Bing was asked to bring a battalion of people to defend such a city wall, he would definitely fight head-to-head. The little devil's cannon fire covered the bombardment, and he would definitely lead people to stand against the city wall himself, and he would never take half a step back.Although this style of play is heroic and tough, the casualty rate will be over.The little devil would never mind using more shells to kill more enemies.

But the biggest benefit of such a sinister method today is that it can deal the biggest blow to the little devil with the least casualties.The more important thing is that you can avoid the guns, and you don't have to sacrifice in vain.

So, when the little devil's artillery fire was still bombarding the city wall, and the little devil's infantry was only about 20 meters away from the city wall, he saw the observer wave his hand, and Liu Bing, who was standing on the main street in front of the shed in the middle, immediately waved forward .

Each company has been hiding in the three sheds and immediately acted.

The sheds on both sides are like faucets, rushing directly to the steps beside the shed.The soldiers in the shed in the middle rushed up directly from the wooden steps on the side of the wall... After rushing up to the city wall, the soldiers all followed the previous order, bowed their heads, and tried not to expose themselves.

Then, the squads gathered behind a short section of the city wall and hid.Not to mention that ammunition boxes and the like are just placed by the side, even heavy weapons such as machine guns are not directly mounted on the wall but placed behind the wall.

Everyone seems to be waiting for something.

Afterwards, as the company commanders raised their right hands, each soldier drew a grenade from his waist, quickly unscrewed the cover, and fired the grenade without hesitation.

However, each soldier did not throw the grenade down, but looked at their respective company commanders at the same time.

Until about a second later, the company commanders waved their hands down almost at the same time.

The soldiers immediately turned around, not even looking at where the little devils were the most, but at the same time threw the grenades as far as possible outside.

After throwing it, he quickly pulled out another grenade. After the grenade was fired, he immediately threw it five or six meters below.

Then, everyone picked up their guns, used the wall as a cover, and frantically shot at the little devils below.

"Boom! Boom! Boom..."

The sound of the concentrated grenade explosion was absolutely no less loud than the explosion of the little devil's twenty small steel cannons.Moreover, because hundreds of grenades exploded almost within a second, this power even surpassed the power of the little devil's mountain cannons.

The reason why the first wave of grenades were thrown out was not to kill more little devils, the main purpose was to blow up the continuity between the little devils behind and the little devils in front, so that everyone Concentrate firepower first to eliminate the little devils within 20 meters before entering the city wall.

And the second wave of grenades was thrown directly five or six meters outside the city wall, naturally to inflict maximum damage on the little devils who entered within 20 meters.

This kind of grenade tactic in the defense of the city wall, I dare not say anything else, but it is definitely the first in the assault group.At the same time, it can also be seen that Liu Bing, such a proud sunny man, was really spoiled by someone in just half a year.It's cunning enough, and it's sophisticated enough to figure out people's hearts.

The little devils were approaching with trepidation, and the closer they got to the city wall, the more terrified they became, and their vigilance was raised to the highest level.

When they saw hundreds of grenades suddenly dropped from the city wall, they almost saw the scythe of death, and their faces turned pale as paper. Each mouth was so big that it would definitely be able to stuff a duck egg into it, but no one could. Make a little noise, but the little devil is a well-trained soldier after all, although he was so scared that he almost peed his pants, but still driven by instinct, most of them fell to the ground quickly, holding their heads and waiting for the imaginary The sound of the explosion.

On the contrary, there were a few little devils who landed at their feet as soon as they saw the grenade. They were completely startled, and opened their eyes and mouth wide, looking at the grenade at their feet in fear.

Then, at the moment when the grenade exploded, they seemed to sense something, closed their eyes suddenly, and shouted "Ah~!"...
