I saw a tank rushing forward. A large-diameter spray pipe protruded from the turret, and then sprayed violently at the Japanese position in front.
The flamethrower on the tank can spray a distance of more than one hundred meters.
With the rotation of the turret, the scope of the flame spray also began to spread, covering the Japanese position in front in the blink of an eye.
The Japanese troops were hiding in the trench. At this time, blazing flames suddenly fell from above their heads, directly igniting their whole bodies.
The dozens of Japanese soldiers hiding in the position suddenly turned into burning men and jumped out of the position.
Those Kagel infantry waiting outside saw the Japanese soldiers jumping out and shot them one by one with rifles.
Under the crushing force of tanks and armored vehicles, coupled with the protection of these armored vehicles by infantry, the Japanese army had no chance at all.
Kamiki Jiro, with hundreds of soldiers under his command, could no longer endure such massacre, roared and rushed out of the position, launching a final long-lived charge.
Seeing those Japanese troops rushing out of the position, Siyu was also happy and said to himself that he is waiting for you to charge long live.
When these Japanese troops jumped out of the trench and shouted "board", the heavy machine guns on the tanks and armored vehicles immediately began to roar again.
"Da da da!!!"
Intensive gunshots echoed above the Japanese position. These Japanese troops couldn't even get close to these tanks and armored vehicles, so they were all knocked down on the position by an extremely dense rain of bullets.
After confirming that most of the Japanese troops had been wiped out, Kagel's infantry continued to advance with the tanks and armored vehicles, eating away at the Japanese positions bit by bit.
Kitano Hiranobu was in the distance, using a telescope to look at the position that was being gradually occupied.
By this time, the Rising Sun Flag there had been cut down, and looking around, the entire position had been completely occupied by tanks and armored vehicles.
Those armored vehicles and tanks, after capturing that position, had no intention of stopping, but continued to advance toward them.
The position that the Japanese Shenmu Brigade had just attacked actually only lasted less than an hour before being completely wiped out.
The men of the Motorized Infantry Regiment were already approaching another Japanese position at this time, intending to attack the last Japanese position from three sides.
Kitano Hiranobu's staff officer ran over at this time and whispered next to him: "Your Excellency, Commander-in-Chief, we should retreat to the city and fight in the streets! Captain Shenmu didn't even hold on for an hour. Our position is probably too weak. To meet the same fate."
Kitano Heishin immediately said: "Order the troops to withdraw from their positions immediately, enter the city, and engage in street fighting with the enemy."
But what he didn¡¯t know was that at this time, nearly a hundred howitzers were ready for bombardment on the howitzer regiment¡¯s position more than ten kilometers away from them.
Li Yixuan, the leader of the howitzer regiment, waved the flag in his hand again and gave the order to fire.
This time, the target of their bombardment became another position of the Japanese army, which was also the last line of defense that the Japanese army could hold on outside Hohhot.
At this time, the Japanese soldiers who had just come out of the fortifications and were about to withdraw from their positions suddenly heard a roar coming from in front of them.
"Enemy shelling!!"
Kitano Hiranobu roared and hurriedly got into a trench.
Almost at the same time, artillery shells began to explode on their position.
¡°Boom!! Boom!!¡±
The extremely violent explosion turned the area into a sea of ????fire in the blink of an eye. Those Japanese soldiers who had just left the fortifications and were about to evacuate were immediately hit by artillery shells.
Other mountain artillery regiments also began to violently bombard the Japanese positions at this time.
Under the rumbling sound of artillery, the Japanese soldiers suffered heavy losses. In just over ten minutes, half of their position was destroyed by large-caliber artillery shells.
While the shelling continued, the armored troops had already begun to advance towards their position. Two motorized infantry regiments also began to attack from the side.
This time the bombardment lasted for about twenty minutes. Kitano Hiranobu climbed out of the trench, shook a large amount of soil that fell on his head, and shouted loudly: "The troops retreated to the city immediately! Fight the enemy in the streets."
Afterwards, these Japanese soldiers began to take the wounded and ran towards the city.
HohhotOn the special city wall, some members of the Japanese gendarmerie were stationed, and some were security brigades composed of puppet troops. The total number of people was over a thousand, but their combat effectiveness was incomparable to that of regular troops.
The outer positions did not even last a whole morning before they all fell.
Kitano Heishin entered the city with more than 800 remaining Japanese soldiers.
They need to use the city walls to continue to hold on, but Kitano Ping is very clear in his confidence. It is unknown how long their city walls can last in the face of those large-caliber artillery. They are likely to enter the stage of street fighting.
As soon as Kitano Heishin entered the city, the tank regiment, motorized infantry regiment, and infantry regiment were already approaching the city.
Faced with these defensive strategies of the Japanese army, their offensive strategy seemed very simple. The artillery first focused on bombardment, and then let the tanks and armored vehicles push over with the infantry.
The same goes for tall city walls. Different places just used different shells.
Kitano Hiranobu looked at the hordes of tanks outside the city wall, where they were setting up formations, and ordered his soldiers to drive all the trucks in the city over and directly block the city gate.
What he was afraid of was that the city gate below could not stop the impact of tanks. If there is nothing else blocking these steel behemoths inside the city gate, these tanks and armored vehicles will rush directly into the city.
More than a dozen Japanese army trucks in the city were all blocked behind the city gate.
However, what Kitano Hiranobu did not expect was that Siyu and the others did not intend to pass through the city gate, but to blow down the city wall, and then directly enter the city from the ruins of the city wall. (Remember the website address: www.hlnovel.com
