At this moment, suddenly, there was a burst of shelling from the south gate.
Instead, Li Hong moved the binoculars and looked towards the south gate.
The Devil Artillery outside Nancheng was shelling, and the artillery shells flew out of the Devil Artillery position continuously and bombarded the city walls and buildings.
The little devil's artillery fire was very violent. Judging from the number of shells and the explosion movement, it was at least the firepower of an artillery brigade.
Through the enemy's firepower, Li Hong quickly understood the devil's real attack intention.
The devil commander knew very well that the defense of the south city gate was weak, so the enemy mobilized artillery fire to attack the south city gate in an attempt to open a breakthrough.
The devils who were attacking from the front seemed to be tenacious in their attack, but they were actually trying to attract the firepower of the defenders to make a feint attack. The devils' main attack direction was the south gate.
The Nancheng Gate seemed to be in danger, but Li Hong remained calm and calm.
In fact, Li Hong had long expected that the Nancheng Gate would become the key point for the Devils to break through.
He had ordered the troops to deploy a large number of anti-personnel mines and anti-tank mines outside the south city gate in advance to hinder the enemy's attack.
The devils attacking from the front suffered more than half of the casualties, and they were not very threatening. The little devils were in a stalemate with the defenders on the front line.
Afterwards, Li Hong took the communication team to the south gate to command the battle...
Guarding the south gate are the Fifth Battalion of the Security Regiment and officers and soldiers of the 77th Regiment of the Sichuan Army.
In the face of the enemy's artillery fire, the officers and soldiers of the two troops still stubbornly stood on their positions.
"Tom tom tom!"
"Boom boom boom!"
The artillery fire at the Nancheng Gate was extremely violent. The Devil artillery fired continuously, with 70mm and 75mm shells firing in salvo, and the dense shells blasted towards the Nancheng Gate.
"Beware of artillery fire, concealment, attention to concealment!!!"
The officers and soldiers guarding the south city entered the bunkers one after another to avoid the enemy's artillery fire.
The suppression effect of 70mm and 75mm shells is good. However, the destructive power of this medium-caliber artillery to the defense of the city wall is limited, and it cannot be compared with the 105mm artillery.
Moreover, some of the collapsed walls of the South City Gate have been rebuilt, and the soldiers' bunkers and firepower fortifications have also been strengthened.
There were too many shells flying, some of the shells deviated and flew into the city. The shells exploded and destroyed many houses and buildings, and the flames and smoke filled the air.
Fortunately, the civilians in the city had already moved away. The shells destroyed only houses, and no innocent residents were injured or injured.
"Hurricane Hurricane..."
The shells flew from a distance with a howling sound, and the shells rained down on the city wall and buildings one after another.
The flames of the explosion continued to flicker in the air, and the shells hit the city wall and trembled. A few holes appeared in the thick wall, and large pieces of bricks and stones were scattered with shrapnel.
The defensiveness of the city wall can still withstand medium-caliber shells. The little devil has been bombing for so long, but the wall of the city wall has only cracks, and no place has collapsed.
Of course, after all, the city wall is not built of reinforced concrete, so it is no problem to resist one or two waves of artillery fire, but if the artillery fire keeps bombarding, the city wall building will definitely not be able to withstand it.
The artillery fire was so fierce that the defenders guarding the city tower were also uncomfortable, and many officers and soldiers were killed or injured by the artillery fire.
"Uh, uh, uh..."
Some shells hit the fortifications on the top of the city tower, and the defenders were blown to the bottom of the tower by the shells. More than a dozen defenders were struggling beside the fortifications in pain.
"The firepower of these little devils and tortoise sons is really fierce, medical soldiers, stretcher team, come and treat the wounded!"
The defenders dragged the wounded officers and soldiers into the bunker fortifications, calling for medical personnel to come over.
The medical soldiers and the stretcher team were busy running around, and they ran on the corridors of the city wall against the artillery fire to treat the wounded.
It didn't take long for the Devil artillery to bombard, and gradually, the enemies in the distance stopped shelling.
The artillerymen of the little devils have always been afraid of the 105mm heavy artillery of the security regiment, and they dare not continue to shell continuously, otherwise, the artillery positions will be exposed.
End of this chapter
Chapter 349 Fighting Nanguan County ([-])
Devil Infantry 6th Regiment, led by Ishida Hideo Ishida.
Ishida Hideichi was observing the situation at the South Gate a few kilometers away through a telescope.
At this time, the city wall buildings near the Nancheng Gate were hit by artillery fire. The shells destroyed many buildings, and thick explosion smoke filled the sky over Nancheng.
"Yo Xi, the artillerymen's shelling is very precise. Under such fierce artillery fire, the Chinese soldiers must have suffered heavy casualties."
Ishida Hideo muttered to himself, with a smug look on his face, as if he saw victory in sight.
As soon as the artillery fire stopped, Hideichi Ishida, the captain of the Devils Alliance, immediately ordered the various brigades to attack the city.
"Imperial soldiers, take down Nanguan County, give it to the chicken!!!"
The devil army takes the squadron as the combat unit, and several devil squadrons spread out to attack.
As soon as the order to attack was issued, more than a thousand little devils took up weapons and rushed towards Nancheng like a pack of mad dogs.
The Devil's armored squadron rushed to the front, and a dozen tanks and armored vehicles opened the way in front. The Devil's infantry bent down and followed closely behind the tank, borrowing the tank as a cover.
"Boom boom boom..."
The chariot roared like a cannibal.
I saw a row of tracked chariots charging forward, and these chariots drove forward quickly while suppressing the defenders of the city wall with firepower.
"Tom tom tom!"
The chariots fired from time to time, and the shells bombarded the buildings on the city wall, and the blasted bricks and stones flew around.
The soldiers of the security regiment and the officers and soldiers of the 77th Regiment of the Sichuan Army continued to hide in the bunker fortifications, allowing the little devil's chariots to bombard wantonly.
The attacking devil troops did not receive any resistance, and the devil's chariot group drove straight in and rushed more than 500 meters outside the city.
"The armored squadron is advancing at full speed, and the imperial soldiers rushed up and captured Nanguan County!!!"
The little devils thought that the officers and soldiers defending the city were terrified by the artillery fire, so the devil squadrons launched a cluster attack one by one.
The devil's chariot group continued to rush forward for less than 50 meters. Suddenly, there was a dull explosion on the ground.
"Boom, boom, boom!"
As the violent explosion fell, several Devil tanks and armored vehicles rushing forward crushed the anti-tank mines.
