    Cai Heyuan asked strangely: "South City Gate, that's our butt. How could the Japanese army attack there?"

    Xia Yang said: "I suspect that the Japanese army will attack our weakest defense at the south gate. We don't think they will attack there, but the enemy may not do what we think. If the Japanese army sneaks into us  in the rear, and then when their main force attacked the north gate, they suddenly stabbed us in the back. There will probably be problems with our defense line."

    Cai Heyuan nodded, and then began to call each battalion headquarters, asking them to allocate manpower to garrison the South City Gate.

    Mancheng used to be a military fortress, so the city walls are very high.  If there were only a Japanese squad of 200 people, Xia Yang would send an additional 40 people to the south gate, plus the troops originally stationed at the south gate.  The defensive strength of the South City Gate has reached more than 60 people, which should be enough to defend against the Japs' attack.

    Not long after Shen Liyin left, the air raid siren was sounded.

    Xia Yang looked up at the sky to the north and saw a formation of Japanese bombers and fighter jets attacking the city.

    "Damn it, instead of blowing up Baoding City, why don't you blow up our whole city first?" Xia Yang said with great depression in his heart.

    They had already conducted several air defense drills before the war started.

    Whether it is the evacuation of personnel after the air defense siren is sounded, or the treatment of the wounded after the Japanese bombing, a set of very standardized procedures has been clearly defined.

    The regiment headquarters of the Fourth Regiment had already dug air-raid shelters before, and their command system was also in the air-raid shelters.  Otherwise, the facilities on the ground of the Fourth Regiment would be easily razed to the ground by a single bombing attack by the Japanese army.

    As soon as they entered the air raid shelter, the bombers outside began to drop bombs.

    The main targets of their bombing were the walls of Baoding City and the regiment headquarters of the Fourth Regiment.  It can be said that the goal is clear.

    After all, they had been conducting reconnaissance all over the city for such a long time. If they did not bomb these targets, the reconnaissance would be in vain.

    Fortunately, Xia Yang and the others were well prepared. There was a special air-raid shelter under the city wall.  Even if the Japanese fighter planes actually bombed, they would not be afraid.

    The Japanese bombing lasted about half an hour.

    As soon as their bombing ended, Xia Yang started running towards the city.

    The soldiers there have all returned to the city to garrison, and are ready, just waiting for the Japanese army to charge.

    However, the Japanese army did not seem to have the desire to attack today. Xia Yang observed with a telescope on the city wall and did not see any Japanese charging troops.

    At this time, Tu Uesugi, who was beside Xia Yang, said: "According to the 59th Regiment's offensive habits, the bombing just now was just a test. Their large force should appear soon and be stationed outside the city to prepare for the attack.  "

    Seemingly confirming what Uesugi Tu said, in Xia Yang's telescope, a transport team composed of Japanese trucks and mules and horses appeared.

    Behind the transport team were Japanese infantry in neat formation.  ,

    The plaster flag was floating in the direction of the horizon, and large groups of Japanese troops began to appear in Xia Yang's telescope.  They were numerous and began to set up camp at the end of the horizon.

    Uesugi Tu said: "It's the 59th Regiment. They will launch a formal attack at most tomorrow."

    Hu San was on the top of the city, looking at the Japanese military flag in the distance and said: "Regiment leader, the little devil is not yet stable, I will lead the people up to charge, maybe we can get some advantages."

    Next to him, Uesugi Tuque said: "Captain Hu, I advise you not to take such a risk. In this attack on Mancheng, the division even sent a tank battalion to the 59th Regiment. There are ten tanks. Do you want to fight with the tanks?  Let¡¯s have a head-on confrontation?¡±

    Hu San was stunned when he heard "tank truck".

    He had seen this kind of steel monster outside Peiping City. Bullets couldn't penetrate this thing, so he had to use grenades to blow it up.  However, blowing up a tank often requires paying a very huge price.

    Hu San remembers that there was a platoon of soldiers who all died under heavy machine guns in order to blow up a tank, but the tank was not blown up in the end.

    "What's going on here, Tuanzuo, that thing is so fierce!" Hu Sandao said.

    Xia Yang looked over there with a telescope. After a while, he saw several slowly moving tanks appearing on a gentle slope.

    This is the Japanese Type 97 tank. In fact, it can only be regarded as a light tank.  Whether it is the level of armor protection or the overall performance of the tank, it is actually far inferior to other similar tanks in the world.

      But the crux of the problem is that the national army at that time did not even have such junk tanks.

    Although several German weapon divisions of the Central Army and the Central Teaching Corps are equipped with some German tanks.  However, because the number was too small, it was exhausted on the Songhu battlefield at that time and did not play a decisive role.

    At that time, Chinese soldiers were not equipped with many flat-fire cannons or weapons such as rocket launchers.  To deal with this kind of tank, all they can do is to use people to carry explosive packs or charge with cluster grenades.

    When you reach the blind spot of the tank, throw cluster grenades or explosive packets up there.

    Xia Yangxin said that if he had known that this little devil had tanks, he should have bought some anti-tank mines.

    This idea popped up in his head, and Xia Yang smiled.

    Yes, I should go buy some landmines from the Huangsha Baizhan system!  Anti-tank mines and infantry mines, when deployed in specific areas of the streets during battle, will definitely make it difficult for the little devils to attack.

    Thinking of this, Xia Yang had the idea of ????going to the system to buy some more mines.

    At this time, Hu San pointed at the tank lane: "Regiment leader, the tank has turned its turret and is aiming at us. Let's hide quickly."

    Xia Yang looked through the binoculars and found that the Type 97 tanks of the Japs had indeed pointed their turrets at them.

    "What are you afraid of!" Xia Yang said, "With their broken tanks, their range is less than two kilometers, how can they hit us."

    As soon as he finished speaking, the Japanese tanks started test-firing like a demonstration.

    But because the distance was too far, their shells landed and exploded when they were still seven or eight hundred meters away from the city walls.

    The smoke and sound caused by the explosion made the soldiers on the city wall shrink their heads subconsciously.

    Xia Yang sneered and said, "Let me tell you, their tank-breaking small-caliber artillery has no way of touching us."

    Uesugi Tu gave Xia Yang a thumbs up and said: "Captain, I didn't expect you to know so much about metheir tanks. The artillery used by this kind of tank really cannot attack us at such a long distance. But if it is at  At a distance of about one thousand meters, they can still attack us."
