Anti-Japanese Jagged General

Chapter 942 Matching Opponents (Third Update!)

"Rumble..."

The devil's shelling continued, and within 2 minutes, the city wall of Xiangfen was covered by gunpowder and billowing smoke from the shell explosion.

Because he couldn't see what was going on in the city, Wang Ping could only stare blankly.The self-confidence a few minutes ago was also greatly reduced by the powerful power of the Devil's heavy artillery.

"Jingle Bell……"

Suddenly, the phone rang behind him.

Before the communications staff could react, Wang Ping had already turned around and lifted the phone to his ear.

"I'm Wang Ping...how is the situation in the city?"

"Reporting Commander, your order just now was too timely. As soon as the troops moved, two anti-aircraft holes built against the city wall were blown up. However, there was still a platoon that moved a little slower, and the anti-aircraft holes that were blown down The hole is buried, all sacrificed~"

"In addition, the troops also lost nearly one platoon of troops during the transfer..."

Before the devil's attack started, the troops lost two platoons, and they were still the main platoon. This was definitely a very big blow to Wang Ping.

His face turned livid all of a sudden, he hesitated and asked, "Can the machine gun bunker we dug inside the city wall withstand the heavy artillery strikes of the devils?"

"Yes... Captain..." Wang Ping was finally relieved to hear an answer from the receiver.

"Until now, all the machine gun bunkers are intact. But for safety, I still asked the machine gunners to withdraw temporarily!"

"That's good!" Wang Ping regained his confidence.

Then he ordered into the microphone: "Commander Jin, although the devil's heavy artillery is far more powerful than we expected. However, you have machine gun bunkers and a sufficient number of grenades and grenades. Therefore, the task given to you by the regiment headquarters is not enough. Change, withstood the devils' two attacks and then retreated to the city, and cooperated with the three newly formed garrison battalions to fight street battles with the devils!"

"Leader, don't worry, we promise to complete the task!" Jin Kai's firm and forceful reply soon came from the receiver.

Heavy artillery is different from ordinary artillery, both in terms of cost and maintenance are much higher than ordinary artillery.Therefore, even if the devils are well-equipped and have their own military industry system, heavy artillery is still a treasure for them.

The twelve heavy artillery were fired for 10 minutes before being stopped by Lieutenant General Ito.

"The field artillery continued to shell for 5 minutes. The first and second squadrons of the guard brigade entered the starting position immediately. After the shelling of the field artillery stopped, they launched an attack directly under the cover of the mortar squadron and heavy machine gun squadron, and broke through the city wall of Linfen City for me. , enter the city, and take down the defenders!"

"Hi!" The chief of staff next to him replied loudly, and then signaled the combat staff behind him to give an order.

Lieutenant General Ito hesitated for a moment and continued to order: "Contact the remaining two infantry brigades of the 137th Regiment, speed up to Xiangfen City, let me surround Xiangfen City, and prevent an Eighth Route Army from breaking through..."

The sound of artillery on the battlefield gradually weakened, and the attacking troops of the two squadrons entered the field of vision of Lieutenant General Ito.

More than a dozen mortars of the mortar squadron stared at the top of the city and continued to shoot. A dozen heavy machine guns lined up and fired bullets at the top of the city without interruption.

It seems that everything is moving in a direction that is beneficial to him.

"Division Commander, the Eighth Route Army on the top of the city has started to counterattack... There are almost no machine guns, and the strength seems to be only one company~"

"Of course!" The head of the division replied arrogantly.

"The power of heavy artillery is not comparable to that of ordinary mountain artillery...I guess these Tubalu have never seen heavy artillery, so they should defend against our heavy artillery shelling according to the standard of defense against ordinary artillery. As a result, our heavy artillery is too powerful, so let them defend directly The fortifications are useless, and then the troops are lost, and only this little force is left to hold on to the city wall..."

The chief of staff agreed with this method very much, and replied with a compliment: "The commander of the division is wise, it must be because of this reason!"

"The Eighth Route Army defenders suffered heavy casualties from our heavy artillery strikes... I believe that we should take advantage of this opportunity to take down the city wall in one go and enter the city!"

"Yoxi..." Lieutenant General Ito was very satisfied with this answer.

"Immediately send a signal to the attacking troops. The Eighth Route Army's garrison troops are running out. Let them strengthen their fortifications and break through the city wall!"

Under the watchful eyes of Lieutenant General Ito, the distance between the attacking troops and the city wall was quickly shortened from 100 meters to 60 meters.

Just when they thought victory was in sight, more than 100 hand grenades and hand grenades with white smoke popped out of the city with only sporadic gunshots.

Immediately afterwards, these grenades and grenades fell like rain.

"The artillerymen continue to fire... There are grenade launchers, counterattack immediately, and use artillery shells and grenades to kill the Eighth Route Army under the city. As long as we kill them, the city will be ours!" Lieutenant General Ito ordered urgently.

The devil's reaction was quick. It didn't take long for the explosion of the shell to overwhelm the explosion of the grenade, and the thick gunpowder smoke also covered the city.

Lieutenant General Ito still underestimated his opponent.

In the violent explosion, although the number of grenades thrown from the city head decreased a lot, they did not stop.

People in the offensive troops were constantly killed in the explosions. In less than a few minutes, more than half of the two squadrons were killed or injured.The remaining soldiers all lie on the ground, waiting for the artillery to kill the remaining Eighth Route Army at the top of the city, and stop advancing~
"Retreat... order the attacking troops to withdraw..." Lieutenant General Ito quickly made a decision.

If the stalemate continues, even if the attacking troops can take down the city wall, the troops will suffer heavy losses, which is not worthwhile.

"Heavy Artillery Brigade, Field Artillery Brigade, get ready...the troops will fire when they retreat 50 meters, and don't give the Eighth Route Army a chance to move~"

"This time I'm going to kill them completely, so that they don't do anything wrong to defend the city wall..."

After dropping nearly 100 corpses, the remaining [-] devils retreated back in embarrassment with a pair of gloomy eyes staring at Ito, and then a violent explosion enveloped the entire battlefield again.

The former enemy headquarters of the new regiment saw that Jin Kai repelled the devils attack without using the machine gun bunker. He just had a smile on his face, but the piercing scream and violent explosion directly froze the smile on his face.

"The devils are too ruthless. They are obviously aiming at our city defense troops... Commander, after this shelling, the troops guarding the city wall must have suffered heavy losses..." Zhong Chenggong said with a sullen face.

"The head of the Devil Division is very cunning and ruthless... While we are trying every means to consume them, he is also seizing every opportunity to attack us and consume us. And now this shelling is that he does not waste a single soldier. Great opportunity to take out more than half of our infantry company with shells..."

"No way, we don't have heavy artillery, so we can only watch the devils bomb our soldiers with heavy artillery... When we have heavy artillery, I will let the devils taste the taste of being bombed one day, and the body is directly torn into pieces by the heavy artillery shells. The taste of minced meat..."

"Regimental Commander, reinforcements from the Devil's two brigades are here!" As soon as he finished speaking, a staff officer rushed in to report.

"More than 2000 devils have joined the battle... Chief of Staff, the real pressure of the assault battalion and the three newly formed battalions is only now beginning... Contact Jin Kai and Li Wen immediately and let them get ready!"
