    Although this reduces the speed of artillery shell shooting, it improves the accuracy of the strike.

    Each artillery piece has its own bombardment coordinates.  This greatly improves the accuracy of bombardment.

    Suematsu Shigeshi and a group of soldiers were hiding behind the city wall, watching the bricks blown away by the cannonballs falling from above their heads.

    "Division commander, let's go hide inside the city. The enemy's artillery bombardment was so accurate. Many of the artillery shells directly hit the city wall." A staff officer next to him said.

    He was really scared. The city wall behind them was bombarded by fierce artillery and completely collapsed.

    Suematsu Shigeshi no longer insisted. After all, the city wall behind them had begun to tremble under the force of the artillery fire.

    The city walls of Hunyuan County have collapsed in many places under the bombardment of artillery fire.

    And those collapsed bricks formed gentle slopes, allowing people to rush directly to the city wall along the ruins.

    As for the city tower that the Japanese army focused on defending, it was now in ruins.  Even the original city gate had collapsed under the intensive bombardment.

    The last line of defense of the Japanese army, the city wall on which Suematsu Shigeshi had high hopes, was already crumbling.

    The Japanese troops stationed on the city wall were seriously injured.  A large number of Japanese troops had to withdraw from the city wall and go outside the city wall to avoid artillery bombardment.

    This precise bombardment lasted for more than ten minutes.

    The smoke slowly dissipated, and the city wall of Hunyuan County could no longer even be seen as a city wall.  More like a ruins made of broken bricks.

    When Xia Yang saw that city wall, he couldn't help but think of Mancheng two years ago.

    The city wall they were holding on to was also bombarded by the intensive artillery fire of the Japanese army, and became like this.

    They were in such ruins at that time, resisting the Japanese attack.

    But in just two years, the roles of both parties have been reversed.

    At this time, Xia Yang was already on the offensive side, while the Japanese army became the defensive side.

    "Infantry attack!!!" Xia Yang shouted.

    With his order, a red signal flare flew high into the sky with a roar.

    The rocket nest hidden in the trench has already been prepared for attack.

    ¡°Boom boom boom!!!¡±

    Under the trench, more than a dozen rocket nest systems began to fire out rockets intensively.

    These rockets directly hit the city wall, or the ruins made of broken bricks.

    The Japanese soldiers were originally going to stand on the ruined city wall.  However, rockets launched intensively have already bombarded the ruins.

    This made it impossible for the Japanese soldiers to climb the city wall to defend themselves.

    While the rockets were bombarding, the infantrymen hidden in the trenches began to climb out of the trenches and advance towards the city wall.

    A large number of infantry began to take advantage of the fire cover provided by rockets to quickly shorten the distance from the city wall.

    It was not until the infantry in front was less than a hundred meters away from the Japanese army that the rocket nests began to stop bombarding them.

    When the Japanese army saw that the rockets no longer landed on the ruins, they began to attack the ruins desperately.

    As soon as these Japanese troops climbed onto the city wall, they saw the enemy troops and rushed under the city wall.

    "Withstand the enemy's attack!!!"

    The Japanese commander on top of the city waved his sword and shouted.

    These Japanese troops were full of cannon fodder at this time and set up a large number of light and heavy machine guns on the ruined city wall.

    ¡°Shoot!!!¡±

    With the roar of the Japanese commander, the light and heavy machine guns on the ruins began to roar.

    The soldiers of the Fourth Army who were charging forward suddenly fell to the ground.

    "Continue to move forward and shorten the attack distance of the flamethrower." The commander commanding the charge from the front shouted loudly.

    Seven or eight flamethrowers, escorted by dozens of soldiers, began to advance towards the Japanese city wall.

    The Japanese army's light and heavy machine gun firepower was very intensive, and there were even some anti-tank artillery on the city wall, bombarding them.

    Flamethrowers continued to be hit by bullets and then detonated directly.

      The violent explosion directly set the soldiers around him on fire.  Seven or eight soldiers, covered in flames, screamed and rolled on the ground.

    But even so, other soldiers carrying flamethrowers were still pushing forward.

    "Flamethrower, go into the crater. The soldiers in front make a way, be careful not to get burned in the fire." The commander at the front shouted hoarsely.

    "The front is clear!! Start spraying!!!" Chen Linchang, holding a flamethrower, shouted.

    The first flame immediately shot out from a crater.

    The spray range of the flamethrower is enough to cover any target within a hundred meters.

    With the flames ejected from the first flamethrower, a Japanese machine gun position on the city wall directly became a sea of ????fire.

    "ah!!"

    On the Japanese heavy machine gun position, three or four Japanese soldiers jumped out of the position and rolled over the ruins.

    The surrounding infantrymen were also ignited by the spray of flames.

    With the help of accelerants, those flames devoured the lives of the Japanese soldiers at a faster rate.

    Not long after Chen Linchang's flames spurted out, more flamethrowers began to spray out flames.

    More than a dozen flames covered the Japanese army's city head position hundreds of meters away in the blink of an eye.

    On the Japanese positions, soldiers with their bodies burning in flames could be seen everywhere, and they let out miserable screams on the city walls.

    "Charge!!!"

    Seeing the Japanese soldiers being burned, the frontline commander immediately roared and charged forward.

    The infantrymen suppressed below by the Japanese firepower immediately began to charge forward with their guns in hand.

    They stepped on the ruins of the city wall and charged directly forward.

    On the other side of the city wall, the Japanese reserve troops were also charging towards the ruins.

    Both sides rushed to the top of the city wall almost at the same time.

    Looking at the enemy who was only a few meters away from him, the soldiers on both sides roared and collided directly.

    The soldiers of the Fourth Army and the Eighth Route Army thrust their bayonets at the Japanese army.

    Suematsu Shigezhi was on the rooftop in the distance, watching the battle above the city wall.

    "Order the machine gunners at the rear to block the gap." Shigeshi Suematsu said loudly.  (Remember the website address: www.hlnovel.com
