Hundreds of artillery are fired at the same time. Although the power is not very great, its fire suppression capability is not comparable to that of ordinary machine guns.
Hundreds of artillery shells hit the already dilapidated city wall at the same time, just like a piece of broken tofu with more than ten chopsticks stuck on it.
¡°Crash!!!¡±
After the explosion of the shells ended, there was a sound of falling bricks. Many of the bricks that built the city wall were very huge. When they hit the ground, they made a deafening sound, like a giant's feet falling on the ground.
After a round of artillery bombardment, the armored troops continued to advance. The infantry followed closely behind and began to advance forward.
As for the cavalry troops, they were circuitous on the wings and rear, looking for fighters.
The so-called fighter plan is also very simple, that is, when the firepower of the Japanese army on the top of the city is almost eliminated, these cavalry troops will rush in directly from the city gate to harvest the fleeing Japanese troops.
Future street fighting will require the cooperation of infantry and tanks to clean up each street one by one. After clearing out all the Japanese troops hiding in the city, they finally occupied Changzhi City.
At this time, all the people in Changzhi City have closed their doors. Many people even hid directly in the cellars, waiting for the war outside to end.
The Japanese army was suppressed by the artillery and could not raise its head. They could only let the mortars from the rear and the machine gun fire on the city wall fight back below.
Those Japanese soldiers hollowed out a brick on the battlement to serve as a firing hole for rifles and machine guns. Although this can effectively avoid a large number of bullets fired by the enemy, it needs to face another problem, that is, they cannot withstand the bombardment of artillery.
Especially in order to achieve the best bombardment effect, many of Xia Yang's armored vehicles and tanks fired armor-piercing shells at the city wall instead of high-explosive shells.
Those tungsten core armor-piercing bullets can directly blow up the battlements. Or make a hole in the thick city wall.
¡°After the tungsten-core armor-piercing bullet shatters the battlements, its combat part will still explode, causing damage to the Japanese troops hidden behind the battlements.
Several Japanese machine gun fire points hidden behind the battlements were killed by armor-piercing bullets. Several machine gunners were directly torn to pieces by the impact of the explosion of their warheads. The scene was extremely tragic. A Japanese medical soldier who came up to carry the wounded even started vomiting directly.
At this time, Xia Yang's troops began to advance rapidly forward.
The infantrymen advanced forward while raising their heads and shooting, suppressing firepower at the Japanese troops on the city wall.
As for the shooting holes set up by the Japanese army inside the city wall, they were the targets of tank cannons and armored vehicle machine gun firepower.
The snipers at the rear of the troops also concentrated their main firepower on these firepower points of the Japanese army.
This caused the Japanese machine gun firepower to be intermittent. The machine gunners who operated the machine guns suffered extremely high casualty rates. Soon the Japanese machine guns even required riflemen to control them.
The powerful fire suppression made the infantry of the Fourth Army much less hindered when advancing than imagined.
What really caused them a big obstacle was the large number of barbed wire fences in front of the city wall and the mines laid there.
They used minesweepers modified from tanks to clear mines for them in the front. Most of those mines are anti-infantry mines, which have limited power and cannot cause much damage to tanks and vehicles.
The principle of the so-called minesweeper is actually relatively simple. It is to add a roller full of iron chains in front of the tank. This roller is like the working part of a combine harvester. While rotating, it drives the iron chains to be thrown on the mines. on the ground, thereby triggering those mines.
The infantrymen can pass through the area where the minesweeper passes safely.
There are also ruts left by tanks and armored vehicles. Those ruts are also relatively safe areas.
But outside these ruts, there may be landmines laid by the Japanese army.
Many infantrymen had a leg broken during the charge because they did not walk on a safe route, or their whole body was blown to pieces and died on the spot.
These landmines are used to organize the charge of small groups of troops, and they can also be effective. Facing the large number of attacking troops of the Fourth Army who were preparing to charge, they seemed to be holding back the enemy.
The offensive of the four armies only paused slightly before continuing to move forward. Tanks and armored vehicles have already begun to rush directly towards the top of the city wall along the collapsed city wall.
The infantrymen followed the sides and rear of these steel monsters, fighting with the Japanese troops on the city wall while charging towards the top of the city wall.
"kill!!!"
Those Japanese troops saw tanks and armored vehicles charging towards their city walls. They immediately began to engage in hand-to-hand combat against them.
There were also many extreme Japanese soldiers who directly tied cluster grenades to their bodies. After firing the grenades, they jumped into the crowd.
This crazy method often results in the casualties of several or even dozens of people.
They were already red-eyed, and so were Xia Yang's troops. The two sides fought fiercely on the city wall, and the ruins at the foot of the city wall and leading to the city wall were soon filled with corpses.
After the tanks and armored vehicles rushed to the city wall, they immediately began to crush the Japanese troops on the city wall.
The heavy machine guns above were firing at the Japanese troops on the distant city wall.
¡°Boom!!!!¡±
A loud noise was heard, and a Japanese soldier holding an explosive pack successfully blew up an armored vehicle that rushed to the city wall by taking advantage of the armored vehicle's blind spot of fire and the loopholes in which the infantry were engaging in hand-to-hand combat with the Japanese infantry.
But this can¡¯t change anything, because there are more tanks and armored vehicles slowly driving up to the city wall.
More tanks and armored vehicles have already passed through the opened city gate and rushed towards the city.
In order to cope with the possible loss of the city gate, the Japanese army set up a machine gun position behind the city gate hole.
But what they didn¡¯t expect was that after the city gate was blown up, the first thing they saw was not the infantry, but tanks and armored vehicles armed to the teeth.
¡°Fire!!!¡±
The commander of the Japanese army can no longer control so much at this time. Directly order his soldiers to shoot at these steel monsters.
The tanks and armored vehicles were also unambiguous, with machine guns and artillery aimed at the Japanese position at the city gate at the same time.
