    They passed over their comrades who were still moaning and rushed towards the city gate.

    But at this moment, the city gate opened by itself.

    They took a closer look and saw a group of soldiers holding rifles they had never seen before, aiming at them.  Beside them, a tall and handsome commander was staring at them with his leering eyes.

    "kill!"

    A roar burst out from Xia Yang's mouth.

    Before those Japanese soldiers could react, they were knocked to the ground by a dense firepower network composed of AK47 and Type 95 automatic rifles.

    Not only them, but also the Japanese soldiers gathered at the city gate were knocked down by the densely intertwined firepower network.

    Modern automatic rifles like the Type 95 and AK47 are indeed not comparable to bolt-action rifles like the 38 Dagai in terms of fire suppression.

    At this time, there are no marksmanship or shooting skills. This kind of confrontation in a narrow terrain is about which side has the fiercer firepower.

    I heard that you can shoot very accurately?  My firepower is so fierce that you don't even dare to show your head, and you can't even aim, no matter how accurate the gun is.

    The Japanese army, which had always suppressed the Chinese army in terms of firepower, at this moment, actually experienced what it was like to be suppressed by the Chinese army in terms of firepower.

    Not only was it suppressed by frontal firepower, but grenades were also landing at their feet above the heads of the Japanese troops.

    Some experienced veterans even more insidiously delayed the grenade, waiting until three seconds after pulling the string before throwing the grenade.

    Then these grenades exploded directly on the heads of the Japanese troops. The fragments of the grenades were launched in the air, directly killing the heads of the Japanese troops. The damage range and effect were larger than those on the ground.

    Under the fierce attacks from the front and above, this Japanese army could no longer withstand it.  After giving the order, they began to retreat to the rear under cover alternately.

    But because of the raging fire behind them, they had no choice but to take a detour if they wanted to escape.  After all, they had clearly seen the power of napalm just now. As long as it touches a person's body, the person will lose their skin even if they are immortal.

    This extended their retreat time. Under the reflection of those flames, their whereabouts had been completely exposed to the firepower of the four regiments of soldiers on the top of the city.

    The soldiers of the Fourth Regiment were suppressed so fiercely by this group of Japanese soldiers, so naturally they began to beat the drowned dogs without any politeness.  Maxim, Czech, and Chinese rifles all opened fire at this time, slamming the retreating Japanese troops.

    Even at this time, the Japanese troops were still not completely defeated.  They were still alternately covering and retreating.  One group of people fought back, and the other group of people retreated, methodically and orderly.

    Xia Yang asked himself, if the fourth regiment were to retreat like this at this time, chaos would probably occur.  The quality of the Japanese soldiers is evident from this.

    Ichiro Banishi stood on the gentle slope, but could not clearly see the situation of the Japanese troops trapped behind the flames.

    "Mortars! Wing artillery, fire two more base shells to suppress the enemy's firepower and cover the evacuation of the troops." Ichir¨­ Sakanishi said helplessly.

    The Japanese mortars and artillery positions opened fire again and began to suppress the city with firepower.

    Now the soldiers of the fourth regiment at the top of the city did not dare to open fire rashly. They could only huddle behind the battlements for fear of shells falling on the city wall.

    After leaving fifty or sixty more corpses, the hundreds of Japanese troops finally withdrew from the fire coverage of the city.

    Ichiro Banishi looked at the retreating Japanese soldiers, with expressions of fear on their faces as they survived the disaster.  His face darkened, and he asked Tokimori Takuno: "How is the attack on the flanks?"

    Tokimori Takuno pondered for a while and said: "It didn't go well. The enemy's firepower on the flanks seemed to be more fierce than on the front. The third squadron and the fifth squadron suffered heavy losses, but they failed to take down their city gates."

    Kazuo Sakanishi took a deep breath and asked loudly: "Who can tell me why these Chinese people have such fierce frontal firepower? Our light and heavy weapons were used together, and we couldn't even suppress them from the front, Takuno-kun,  Can you tell me why?"

    Tokimori Takuno shook his head and said: "I don't know, but their equipment is obviously more sophisticated than we thought, and the quality of their soldiers is also very high. Even the flanks of the Chinese army, which have always been weak in defense, have been strengthened this time. We are here  sideThe two squadrons attacking from the wings did not take any advantage.

    It is obvious that the other side's commander knows our tactics very well.  And based on our tactics, we found a way to deal with it.  "

    At this time, Ichiro Banishi asked: "Where is Watanabe's squadron? Their squadron's sneak attack on the south gate of Mancheng has made any progress? If they can sneak into Mancheng, they should also cause a lot of trouble to the Chinese defenders in the city."

    Tokimori Takuno shook his head and said: "I'm very sorry, Your Excellency, Captain. I received Watanabe-kun's telegram as soon as the battle began, but because you were commanding the battle at the time, I did not inform you in time.

    Watanabe¡¯s squadron encountered stubborn resistance from the Chinese army at the South Gate.  The Chinese troops stationed at the South City Gate have obviously expected that we will attack them tonight.

    They even planted powerful mines outside the south city gate.  The combat attrition of Watanabe Squadron reached more than forty, and it was no longer possible to launch an effective attack on the south gate of the city.  "

    Kazuo Banishi knew that their attack tonight should have ended in failure.

    But he was not discouraged. At least after tonight's attack, he already had a general understanding of the firepower configuration of the defenders in the city.

    "Now it seems that this is a rather difficult opponent!" Banishi Yiliang said: "This army is different from the Chinese army we encountered before. At least many soldiers of this Chinese army know how to shoot when shooting.  Take aim and take cover when the fire comes."

    Tokimori Takuno said: "Not every Chinese army is the ragtag group stationed on the other side of the Nanjuma River. They also have very elite troops. Judging from the intelligence coming from the Songhu battlefield, some Chinese troops except  In addition to possessing sophisticated equipment, they also possess a fighting will that is not inferior to our imperial army.

    Even some Chinese troops are so poorly equipped that several people share the same rifle.  But they were still able to charge with great courage when facing our artillery bombardment.  This nation has survived on this land for more than five thousand years, and we cannot underestimate them.

    "Otherwise, we will make the same mistake that General Toyotomi Hideyoshi made when he went on an expedition to Korea.  (After Japan's Toyotomi Hideyoshi unified the country, he tried to invade the then Ming Dynasty by conquering Korea, but was defeated by the army sent by Emperor Wanli.)"
