    When he first discovered that the enemy was digging in, Suematsu Shigeshi asked his soldiers to use machine guns to shoot at them.

    But the soldiers who dug the trenches were hiding in the deep trenches, right in the blind spot of the city's firepower.  It cannot be attacked at all.

    The Japanese army even used mortars and grenade launchers, but with little effect.

    At the same time, artillery scouts also began to determine the specific coordinates of the city wall of Hunyuan County.

    Because behind the city wall is the residential area of ??Hunyuan County.  If the howitzer shell misses, it is easy to accidentally damage the residential area behind.

    Therefore, Xia Yang required that the artillery scouts must make the coordinates of the bombardment extremely precise.

    According to Xia Yang¡¯s plan, they would first use large-caliber howitzer shells to blast several gaps in the wall of Hunyuan County.

    Then the rocket nest system was used to suppress the firepower on the Japanese city.

    After that came the charge of infantry and cavalry, using the fastest speed to tear apart the Japanese defense line on the city wall.

    Suematsu Shigeshi saw the troops outside the city wall and stopped attacking the remaining positions on the outside.  However, they began to dig trenches and get closer to the city wall, knowing that the enemy might be planning to give up attacking the peripheral positions and attack their city wall.

    But speaking of it, the remaining Japanese troops in the outer positions are indeed no longer able to contain Xia Yang's army.

    "Order the troops to tighten defense. The enemy may jump out of those trenches at any time and launch an attack on us." Suematsu Shigeshi said.

    The Japanese army began to transfer more garrison troops to the city wall.

    This is their best fortress. If this line of defense also falls, they will have no choice but to retreat from Hunyuan County.

    The excavation of the trench continued until the evening, when it finally stopped.

    But at this time, their trench had been successfully dug to a position less than 300 meters away from the Japanese city wall.

    At a distance of three hundred meters, an ordinary soldier sprinting with all his strength would be able to rush to the bottom of the city wall in less than a minute.

    The rocket nest system has also been transported to the trench and the firing angle has begun to be adjusted.

    They targeted the Japanese city walls and their towers.  Even Wengcheng was within the range of their bombardment.

    Because these barbicans were sometimes used to garrison troops.

    "Are they planning to use wooden ladders to climb up our city wall?" Suematsu Shigeshi looked at the enemy troops who had stopped digging and made some strange guesses.

    If the enemy really uses a primitive method like a wooden ladder, then he will feel relieved.

    What worries him more is that the enemy directly uses artillery to bombard the city wall.

    Hunyuan County is just a small county. The city wall is not very high, only seven or eight meters high.

    If a heavy artillery shell directly hits the city wall, it is very likely that the city wall will be directly destroyed.

    At this time, on the rear position, nearly a hundred artillery pieces from Cai Heyuan have all adjusted their design angles.

    This time they no longer carried out the saturation attack in the past, but directly covered it with artillery fire.  It's about delivering a precise strike.

    Xia Yang wanted them, and every shell must land on the city wall of Hunyuan County.  Blast holes in it.

    At this time, every howitzer was ready for bombardment.  And each howitzer has its own bombardment coordinates.

    At the front, nearly a hundred artillery scouts provided them with ballistic trimming data.  As long as the artillery shells did not hit the city wall, they would be immediately reported to the artillery behind for them to make adjustments.

    Xia Yang is not in a hurry to attack today. They plan to let his soldiers have a good night's rest and launch a general attack early tomorrow morning.

    In the dug trenches, the soldiers had already hidden themselves inside.  At the same time, sandbags and various machine guns were deployed.

    ¡°However, these deployments are only to prevent Japanese night attacks.

    Suematsu Shigeshi counted the number of defenders in the city and found that there were only more than 10,000 people left, who could still continue to fight.

    The heavy casualties made Suematsu Shigeshi lose the bargaining chip to take the initiative to attack.

    He can no longer carry out gambling-like attacks, otherwise the final result is likely to be that Hunyuan County will be lost at a faster speed.

    The long night was long, but the Japanese army did not?Launch a night attack.

    In fact, the successive failures in night battles have made them fully aware of this.

    As long as you fight at night, the enemy will have a crushing advantage over you.  And if they fight during the day, they may not actually be incapable of fighting.

    After resting for a whole night, the soldiers of the Fourth Army and the Eighth Route Army were full of energy and vigor.

    These soldiers, after having breakfast, began to assemble outside the city wall.

    The howitzer regiment in the rear has also made final preparations.

    Suematsu Shigeshi, who was on the city wall, looked at the fluttering battle flags and the dark army outside the city wall, and felt a burst of despair in his heart.

    "Order the troops and prepare for battle!!"

    As soon as he finished speaking, a signal flare flew directly into the sky.

    With the launch of the signal bomb, the troops of the Fourth Army and the Eighth Route Army began a formal attack.

    But the first to attack were the artillery units in the rear.

    Cai Heyuan shouted: "Start bombarding!!! Adjust the shooting angle at any time!!"

    "Boom! Boom! Boom!!"

    The howitzers began to roar at this time, pouring countless shells onto the Japanese city wall.

    "Boom!"

    A loud noise was heard, and more than a dozen shells fired from hundreds of howitzers directly hit the city wall of Hunyuan County, leaving gaps in it.

    As for the Japanese soldiers stationed on the city wall, they were blown directly into the sky by artillery shells.

    Those that fly

    Xia Yang used a telescope in the distance to look at the Japanese city wall after the howitzer bombardment, and immediately said: "The howitzer shells hit well. Let the artillery that missed the hit adjust and shoot at Zhu Yuan immediately."

    When the artillery scouts in the front saw that some artillery had missed the target, they immediately informed the rear and asked some artillery in the rear to adjust and shoot at Zhu Yuan.  (Remember the website address: www.hlnovel.com
