Anti-Japanese Jagged General

Chapter 941 Heavy Cannon Shows Off (Second Update!)
"Division commander, the Eighth Route Army relies on the city wall to defend. Our tentative attack has ended. Because the forward troops are not equipped with artillery, there is no way to threaten them. They keep our attacking troops close to 50 meters before firing, and then Hitting with a grenade, we repelled our attacking troops without even using the machine gun..." the squadron leader of the vanguard reported aggrievedly.

"However, although I haven't tested the opponent's firepower, I can be sure that there are at least two companies of the Eighth Route Army guarding the city wall..."

Lieutenant General Ito showed a frenzied and excited expression on his face.

"In other words, at least one battalion of the main force of the Eighth Route Army has gathered in Xiangfen City~"

"That's great. All the guerrillas we encountered along the way were passive and beaten. Although the loss of troops was not large, it still dealt a huge blow to our morale. Now we finally met the main force of the Eighth Route Army who was willing to fight us head-on. That's it...no need to say, we must kill them this afternoon..."

"Artillery, immediately set up all the artillery we brought, I want to let the Eighth Route Army guarding the city taste the taste of being bombed..."

"Contact the two nearest infantry brigades immediately, quickly approach us, surround Xiangfen County, and prevent a single Eighth Route Army from slipping through the net!"

The chief of staff next to him reminded: "Division commander, do you want to contact the aviation army... The city wall of Xiangfen is not very strong, and it must not be able to withstand the bombing of the aviation army..."

Lieutenant General Ito shook his head and replied: "Not for the time being..."

"We haven't attacked yet, and we don't even know if the opponent has a permanent firepower point, and there is no bombing target when the aviation soldiers are called over, and the aviation soldiers will laugh at us for being incompetent and cowardly!"

"The troops are ready to attack the city in half an hour..."

A few kilometers away, the former enemy headquarters of the new regiment, the condescending terrain advantage allows Wang Ping to clearly see every move of the devils outside Xiangfen City.

"Regimental Commander, the little devil thinks highly of our city guards too! As soon as they come up, they set up artillery, twelve large-caliber mountain artillery, twelve field artillery, completely looking like they will raze the city wall of Xiangfen to the ground..." Zhong successfully frowned and reminded.

"The city wall is not that fragile~ The hard work of the engineering company for nearly ten days cannot be destroyed by a single bullet!" Wang Ping replied confidently.

"Besides, I didn't intend to rely on a city wall to fight the devils to the end. Withstood their two attacks. After causing a lot of damage to them, the troops will retreat to the city and fight street fighting with the devils!"

Zhong Chenggong raised his brows and asked back: "That's not right~ Commander, didn't you say that the little devil won't suffer from the same thing, and won't fight street fighting with us? Besides, Xiangfen City doesn't fight, and there is no room for street fighting." !"

"Not being fooled doesn't mean the little devil won't fight in the streets~" Wang Ping explained calmly.

"In the Battle of Linfen, the little devils only sent a brigade of infantry into the city, and they didn't carry heavy weapons, and they weren't ready to fight us in street fighting. Then they were caught off guard by our lurking troops and suffered heavy casualties!"

"This time is different. The little devil will definitely prepare in advance for street fighting with us, and then enter the city, advance gradually, and occupy Xiangfen bit by bit. Instead of fighting against Linfen, the troops will disperse as soon as they enter the city. , giving our latent troops a chance to defeat them one by one."

"Also, after our troops retreat into the city, if they don't fight this street battle, they won't be able to take Xiangfen!"

"Unless they are willing to use shells and aerial bombs to raze Xiangfen to the ground. However, although Xiangfen is not big, it will take tens of thousands of shells to raze it to the ground. The little devil's shells didn't come out of thin air." , were transported bit by bit from the Northeast and even Japan, the devils in front of us certainly didn’t bring so many.”

Zhong Chenggong first nodded and affirmed Wang Ping's analysis, and then he couldn't understand and asked back: "Since you know that the devils will be ready to enter the city and fight us in the street ~ then you let the three new main battalions enter the city, not to send them to death." ?"

Wang Ping shook his head and replied, "It's not death, it's military training!"

"Isn't it true that more than half of the soldiers in the three newly formed main battalions have no weapons? After this battle is completed, weapons will be available. And there are direct subordinate teams leading them in the city. I also distributed five grenades and Grenades, definitely no problem!"

"And the street fighting is not as simple as you imagined, chief of staff... Anything can happen inside. Even if the devils are well prepared and bring artillery, tanks, and armored vehicles into the city, we still have a chance to hit them hard!"

Speaking of this, Wang Ping suddenly flashed an excited and arrogant expression on his face, and then stared at Xiangfen City a few kilometers away and shouted.

"Didn't the little devils always think that our Eighth Route Army is a coward, too captured? This time, I just want to go through a face-to-face defense battle, a street fight prepared by the devils, and tell them that it is not our Eighth Route Army that confronts them head-on." opponents, our Eighth Route Army can still defeat them!"

A staff officer rushed in suddenly, panting heavily when he saw Wang Ping and reported.

"Head, the urgent information sent back by the reconnaissance company!"

"The other two reinforced brigades of the devil's middle road encirclement and suppression force suddenly turned around and rushed towards Xiangfen City. The marching speed is very fast, and they will arrive in half an hour."

"The head of the Guizi Division wants to encircle and wipe out our defending troops in Xiangfen~" Wang Ping immediately made a judgment.

Then he happily shouted: "Good job; the more you come, the more devils our city guards will kill this afternoon!"

Three or four thousand infantry, more than 1000 cavalry, plus heavy artillery and tanks, attacked a small county town with only more than 2000 defenders. Zhong Chenggong didn't know where Wang Ping's confidence came from.

Seeing that the political commissar who opposed him before did not speak, the anti-dialogue that the chief of staff had just thought of was swallowed by him as soon as it reached his mouth.

"Rumble..."

Even though it was several kilometers away, the violent explosion of heavy artillery shells was still deafening when it came.

"This is another trial of the little devil's heavy artillery! It seems that our opponent can't wait any longer. The other two reinforced brigades are eager to attack Xiangfen and take down our defending troops before they can kill them!" Wang Ping frowned. Make a judgment, and then raise the binoculars to look at the battlefield.

The impact point was still nearly a hundred meters away from the city wall, but the huge black smoke column that rose into the sky still made Wang Ping feel the powerful power of the heavy artillery.

In less than 2 minutes, more than 20 thick black smoke columns rose around the city wall, four or five of which rose directly on the city wall.After almost ten seconds, a series of violent explosions reached Wang Ping's ears.

The power of the heavy artillery was too great. Even though Wang Ping was mentally prepared, he was still frightened when he saw the huge gap made by the shells on the city wall.

His face instantly became serious, and he ordered with a frown.

"The devil's attack has begun. Immediately connect to Jin Kai of the Assault Battalion. I want to talk to him!"

As soon as he took the microphone handed over by the communications staff officer, the loud explosion sound from the new round of shelling by the devils came through the receiver.

"Regimental Commander, I am Jin Kai, Commander of the Assault Battalion, please give instructions!" Then Jin Kai's voice rang through the phone receiver.

"There are no instructions... Time is running out, I just listen to you... The power of the Devil's heavy artillery is far beyond my imagination, and the machine gun bunkers we built inside the city wall may not be able to withstand it. Therefore, during the heavy artillery shelling of the Devil , Except for the observation post, everyone else should stay away from the city wall, and they should be dispersed as much as possible in units of squads. When to enter the position, you can judge for yourself... Do it now, and take advantage of the gap between the shelling, and the troops will retreat immediately!"

"Yes... Captain..." Jin Kai's affirmative answer came from the receiver very quickly.
