    Hearing this, Ichiro Banishi showed a satisfied smile on his resolute face and said: "Okay, as long as Captain Watanabe attacks the south gate, the Chinese army in the city will definitely fall into chaos. By then, all the Chinese troops in the city will be in chaos.  The city is ours."

    After saying that, he pulled out his command knife and said to the assembled infantry brigade: "Capture Mancheng!"

    ?Then the infantry began to spread out in battle formation, taking advantage of the cover of night and marching towards Mancheng.

    That night, not only the Japanese troops in Mancheng were preparing for a night battle, but the main force of the Japanese division outside Baoding City was also gathering soldiers, preparing to capture Mancheng in one fell swoop at night.

    Xia Yang yawned, then took out his night vision binoculars and looked at the Japanese camp again.

    At this time, he noticed that dense spots of light began to appear on the Japanese camp.  Those were all Japanese soldiers. They did not rest in the camp, but gathered on a large scale and began to move around the two wings of the city.  There is also a Japanese army that is advancing towards Mancheng.

    Seeing this scene, Xia Yang suddenly became energetic.

    He knew that the Japanese night attack had really begun, and he guessed correctly this time.

    So he immediately shouted to the soldiers on the top of the city: "Prepare for war! Prepare for war! The little Japs are making moves!"

    Some soldiers who were still resting suddenly became energetic when they heard Xia Yang's words.  They looked out through the observation holes on the city wall and found that in the vast wilderness, there was only darkness shrouded in night, and nothing could be seen anywhere.

    Hu San asked Xia Yang, "Tuanzuo, have you seen it wrong? Where is this little devil?"

    Xia Yang said: "Stop talking nonsense, let the soldiers prepare for artillery bombardment! Before the little Japanese infantry charges, they must be bombarded by artillery!

    After the artillery bombards, the infantry charges. After the artillery bombards, the infantry charges.  The little devil likes to play this trick.  "

    After receiving Xia Yang's order, the soldiers on the city began to move into the air raid shelter.  At the same time, observers inside the city wall began to observe the movements of the Japanese army.

    It only took five or six minutes for the personnel to evacuate and enter the air-raid shelter, and the sound of howling shells echoed over the city.

    The Japanese division artillery support began to attack and bombard the city.

    Their bombardment does not distinguish between military targets or civilian targets. The entire city is within the scope of their artillery bombardment.  As for whether civilians will be injured or killed as a result, that is not something that these inhumane Japanese soldiers need to consider.

    Their goal is simple, that is to capture the whole city.  They would be happy to see everyone in the city killed by bombs, which would also save them a lot of bullets.

    The Japanese army's extremely dense artillery shells began to land on buildings all over the city.

    Most of those wooden structures will quickly collapse and disintegrate after the explosion of the artillery shells, igniting raging fires.  Even buildings with cement structures will be blasted with big holes.

    Amidst the intensive bombardment of Japanese artillery fire, some ordinary people who had not had time to enter the air-raid shelter were swaying in the artillery fire.  Like fallen leaves carried by the strong wind, they died in the impact of flames and shells.

    On the top of the city, there were also artillery shells falling, bombarding some of the firepower points built all over the city to pieces.  The sandbags piled on the battlements were thrown dozens of meters away by the shock wave generated by the explosion.

    It is conceivable that if there were still soldiers on top of the city at this time, what a tragic scene it would be when these shells exploded.

    This round of shelling by the Japanese army lasted for about 20 minutes.  The extremely dense shells bombarded almost all the main locations in the city.

    Xia Yang couldn't help but start to feel lucky. Fortunately, when he built the shooting fortress in Mancheng City, he insisted that his soldiers use reinforced concrete structures.  Otherwise, with just such a round of shelling, one-third of the firepower points he built in the streets of the city would be knocked out.

    The sound of gunfire gradually stopped, and the sound of explosions gradually decreased.  The soldier observing from the lookout hole inside the city wall shouted: "The little devil is here! The distance is five hundred meters!"

    Hearing this, Xia Yang no longer hesitated and immediately roared: "Brothers, go up to the city wall! Kill those little devils."

    At this time, the morale of the soldiers in the air-raid shelter was high. After hearing this, they immediately began to climb the city wall and enter the previously arranged fighting position.

    At the same time, the trebuchet hidden in the air raid shelter also began to be hoisted up the city wall by the soldiers through slings.

      Through the night vision telescope, Xia Yang could clearly see that the little devils were divided into small teams.  Each group of ten people formed a group and attacked them in a staircase shape.

    Their attack is very methodical. For those ten-man squads, one squad often suppresses fire on the city head, while the other squad charges forward.

    And when they charge, they are also very scattered.  It won't be like in those anti-Japanese dramas, where swarms of swarms are gathered together, and they are all knocked down with a single blast from the heavy machine gun.

    At this time, they were still more than 400 meters away from the city walls. Xia Yang shouted angrily at the soldiers on the city wall: "Don't fucking shoot yet. Wait until the little devil enters the attack range before shooting."

    His order was passed on, and the entire garrison on the city wall fell into silence.

    These soldiers held the steel guns in their hands tightly and looked under the city wall through the gaps between the battlements.  But because of the darkness, the little devils seemed to have released smoke bombs, and they couldn't see the specific location of the little devils at all.

    The soldiers at the north gate and the east and west gates were waiting hard for the Japanese army to approach.

    The four regiments of soldiers on the south city gate were looking nervously outside the city gate.

    There are two platoons of soldiers stationed here, plus the dozens of people who were later supported by the guard company, the total strength is nearly a company.

    Pan Zutuan, the leader of the third platoon, held a Fairy brand cigarette in his mouth, looking at the endless darkness with a solemn expression.

    At this time, a hand took advantage of his distraction and quickly snatched the cigarette from his mouth.

    Pan Zutuan cursed and turned around to see the smiling face of the second platoon leader Liang Fengye.  The Fairy brand cigarette he brought from Tuan Zuo was already in his mouth.

    "Fuck, Lao Liang, were you a fucking pickpocket before? You can grab cigarettes faster than a fucking bullet." Pan Zutuan couldn't help scolding.

    Liang Fengye laughed and said: "Nonsense, when you brought this box of cigarettes from the group, your hands were much faster than mine." (Remember the website address: www.hlnovel.com
