    Just as Pan Zutuan was about to curse back, he heard two explosions suddenly coming from outside the city, accompanied by howls like killing pigs.

    "Platoon leader, someone has hit a mine!" a soldier shouted.

    Pan Zutuan turned his gaze and a flare was launched into the air.  The whole sky is illuminated.

    He took a closer look and found that the Japanese army had reached a distance of more than 100 meters from the city wall.  Although their numbers are somewhat scattered, they cover a large area, especially at the gate of the city, where more Japanese troops gather.  In total, there were nearly two hundred people.

    ¡°Obviously, they wanted to take advantage of their unpreparedness to blow open the south city gate and break into the city.

    When Pan Zutuan thought of this, he couldn't help but break into a cold sweat.  Xin said that if Tuan Zuo hadn¡¯t reminded him, the Japs might have sneak attacked the South City Gate tonight and also laid many landmines outside the city gate.  Then their south city gate will most likely be knocked down by these little devils.

    Liang Fengye laughed loudly and said: "Look at that little devil, one of his legs was blown off." As he said, he pointed at the Japanese soldier who had one of his legs blown off by a landmine and was struggling on the ground.

    As a result, before he finished laughing, he heard a whoosh, and a bullet directly knocked the hat off his head.  The bullet even flew past his scalp.

    Liang Fengye¡¯s expression changed, and he hurriedly knelt down, hiding his whole body behind the battlements, and roared: ¡°Fuck you, if you dare to hit me, brothers, open fire!¡±

    Before his order was finished, the soldiers stationed on the south wall began to shoot at the little Japs below the wall.

    They have more than 20 people supported by the security company. These 20 people are carrying modern automatic rifles that Xia Yang bought for them. Their continuous firepower and shooting accuracy are not at all comparable to those of the little devils below.  Children can be compared.

    The key is that because it was a sneak attack, these little devils did not carry heavy machine guns, so they could only use a few crooked guns to suppress the firepower of the soldiers on the top of the city.

    So although the number of soldiers on the south wall is not superior, with the advantage of terrain and advanced equipment, their firepower is not inferior to those of the little devils below.

    "Brothers, pay attention to your position and be careful of the little devil's grenade." Pan Zutuan said loudly.

    As a result, as soon as he finished speaking, a grenade was shot on the top of the city by a grenade.  The two soldiers who had no time to move were blown away and fell heavily under the city wall.

    Liang Fengye roared: "Get ready for grenades!"

    When the soldiers heard this, they immediately pulled the string of the grenade and began to throw it under the city wall.  Dozens of grenades fell at the same time, directly forming an artificial bombing zone, forcing the little Japanese attacking below the city to lie down to avoid the shrapnel and shock waves of the grenades.

    Captain Watanabe held on to his helmet, with a very solemn expression on his face.

    He never expected that the defenders at the South City Gate would be prepared in advance.  What puzzled him the most was that the firepower of the defenders here was so fierce that they could not even lift their heads.

    "Captain Watanabe, the Aoki Squadron has been wiped out. The Chinese laid many mines in front of the city gate. The Aoki Squadron was unable to move forward and was completely wiped out by the firepower on their walls." The soldier shouted to Watanabe.  Side road.

    The key to success of Watanabe's sneak attack was their surprise.

    But now that they have been discovered by the Chinese army, it is almost impossible to enter Mancheng through a forced attack.

    He hammered the ground with his fist and said: "Retreat! Retreat!"

    Ten flares roared high into the sky, almost turning the entire sky into daylight.  There was a small parachute at the tail of the flare. After rising into the air, it began to fall at a slow speed, thus providing the Japanese army with longer-lasting illumination.

    Those were Japanese military flares. The flares were not like those in anti-Japanese dramas. They flashed and disappeared.  Instead, it will continue to burn after being emitted, releasing intense white light.

    This kind of illumination bomb made of raw materials such as magnesium powder and aluminum powder will generate a high temperature of several thousand degrees when burning, and at the same time emit a dazzling light.

    Just one flare can last for more than thirty seconds.  At the same time, it illuminates a target with a radius of about one thousand meters, which can be said to be an essential artifact for night battles.

    At this time, looking through the light of the flare, the little devil was only about 200 meters away from the city walls.

    Xia Yang only became angry at this timeHe roared: "Hit!"

    Following the order, the soldiers on the city wall immediately began to use the bunkers to shoot at the Japanese troops below.

    The four regiments have enough bullets, so there is no need to worry about ammunition at all.  Therefore, there is no need to put the Japanese troops at a distance of more than a hundred meters to shoot.

    The light and heavy firepower on the top of the city opened fire at the same time, twinkling like dense stars in the night.

    The muzzle of the Maxim heavy machine gun sprayed out a long whip of fire, strafing the heads of the charging Japanese soldiers below.  A row of Japanese soldiers who were not well concealed were knocked down by five or six heavy bullets before they could react.

    The three Maxim heavy machine guns on the north city gate formed a crossfire on the two wings and front, suppressing the charging Japanese troops with firepower.

    Not only that, the flower traps on the city wall and the automatic rifles equipped by Xia Yang to the guard company also came into play at this time.

    These automatic weapons are much stronger than the Japanese 38-gun in terms of continuity of firepower.

    The Japanese army's 38-gun rifle had to pull the bolt to fire a bullet, but the automatic rifle could fire continuously, suppressing the Japanese army's firepower.

    He Changxing said at this time: "Commander, the trebuchet is ready, when will it start launching?"

    ??

    As soon as he finished saying this, a soldier next to Xia Yang who was not well hidden was shot through the head by a Japs.

    The German-made steel helmet could not withstand the highly penetrating 38 bullets.  The steel helmet was originally only used to protect against stray bullets and shell fragments. Bullets fired at medium and close range can indeed penetrate the steel helmet easily.

    Xia Yang clearly saw the soldier's blood flowing out along the edge of the helmet.  Only the body was still twitching instinctively.

    Not only this soldier, but also many new recruits who had no experience fighting the Japanese army had their heads blown off by the Japanese soldiers who shot extremely accurately because they failed to take cover.

    At a distance of about a hundred meters, the shooting accuracy of Japanese veterans was among the best in the world at that time.  (Remember the website address: www.hlnovel.com
