    It was late at night, but it was not peaceful at all outside Guide City. The sound of gunfire rang through the night sky, and flares and artillery shells streaked across the sky from time to time, illuminating the dark night.

    It has been more than three hours since the 16th Division entered the battle. The Little Devils launched a total of four large-scale charges, but without exception they were repelled by the defenders.

    At this time, the battlefield was full of corpses of Japanese soldiers, so densely packed that it was like being in Shura Hell.

    However, the situation of the defenders is not good. They say that the Chinese army is good at night fighting. In fact, this is not the case. Compared with the Japanese army, most of the Chinese army soldiers are malnourished and have poor physical fitness. Most of them have night blindness. The so-called good at night fighting is not good.  It was forced.

    Fighting at night requires very high vision, and the Chinese army has a large number of patients with night blindness, so its effectiveness in counterattack operations is very poor. Fortunately, Li Guoyao deployed relatively strong firepower on the front line, otherwise the Japanese troops would have been charged a few times just now.  The forward position was captured.

    But even so, the defenders are already in danger.

    There is no way. Compared with the daytime, although the Little Devils lost the air support and artillery fire cover, they could get closer to the defenders' positions and launch a charge, which greatly shortened the charge distance.

    Secondly, the forward positions were filled with the remains of the dead, a thick layer providing them with a large number of bunkers. They were no longer as unobstructed as before, and everyone was directly exposed to the firepower of the defenders.

    ?????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????

    When the battle continued until four o'clock in the morning on the 30th, the defenders in the outer positions outside Guide City finally couldn't hold on and retreated. The Japanese 16th Division finally captured the outer positions after paying heavy casualties.

    After conquering the outer positions of Guide, the next step is to attack the city wall. As long as the city wall is conquered, the Japanese army can enter the city.

    However, all the troops suffered heavy losses in tonight's battle, and the soldiers were very tired, so Nakajima Jingo immediately ordered the troops to stop the attack, rest on the spot, and then take action after dawn tomorrow.

    Early the next morning, the soldiers of the 16th Division were gathered by their respective commanders. After a simple breakfast, the battle started again.

    "Boom boom boom"

    The artillery of the Japanese army once again showed its power. Compared with the artillery of the independent third brigade, which only has one brigade, the artillery of the 16th Division is very strong. There is enough mountain artillery to strengthen the regiment.  There is also a brigade of field artillery. Even excluding the Type 92 infantry guns and mortars, there are nearly fifty large-caliber field guns alone.

    However, Guide City is not comparable to a small county like Mengcheng. It faces Huaibei, Anhui and Xuzhou, Jiangsu to the east, Kaifeng, Henan to the west, Zhoukou, Henan and Bozhou, Anhui to the south, and Heze and Jining, Shandong to the north. It is the most populous city in eastern Henan.  It is an important transportation hub, so a city was built here as early as the Shang and Zhou dynasties.

    After thousands of years of development, Guide City has been very well built. Although it is not very big, it is very strong.

    In addition, the Eighth Army also built a lot of fortifications after stationing here. Although the artillery of the Japs is powerful, it cannot be easily captured here like it was in Mengcheng.

    After the shelling, the Japanese infantry began to charge!

    Looking at the Japanese troops rushing up like a tide, the defenders immediately stood ready. Dozens of light and heavy machine guns set up on the city wall were loaded with bullets, waiting for the little Japs to come to their door.

    Soon, these Japanese soldiers rushed to the city wall more than 100 meters away. Zhou Jinlong, the commander of the first regiment in charge of the southern city wall, immediately said to Hu Zhiguo, the commander of the fifth regiment on the side: "Old Hu, it's up to you!"

    Hu Zhiguo nodded and said, "Okay, your group has suffered heavy losses. Now it's our fifth group's turn to be the protagonist. Brother Zhou, just watch!"

    After saying that, Hu Zhiguo immediately ordered: "Open fire and beat me hard!"

    Following Hu Zhiguo¡¯s order, troops from a reinforced battalion on the city wall opened fire at the same time, and the intensive firepower instantly hit the Japanese soldiers below.

    Because they were condescending, there were no hiding places for the Japanese soldiers. Most of the two squadrons of Japanese soldiers were shot dead before they even got close to the city wall. The remaining ones could not bear the huge casualties and withdrew directly.

    Nakajima Konsogo, who was watching the battle from behind, immediately frowned and ordered the troops on the front line to continue the attack.

    Soon, the Little Japs¡¯ second attack began. This time, the strength of the Little Japs dispatched reached an entire infantry brigade, in addition to two moreMore than a dozen tanks covered the advance.

    As before, the artillery opened fire first. The power generated by dozens of large-caliber artillery was terrifying. The dense artillery shells were like hailstones, falling from the sky directly onto the city wall, blowing up this ancient city with thousands of years of history.  The swaying.

    Just when the Japanese artillery was showing off its power, Li Guoyao led people to the city wall.

    Li Guoyao's sudden arrival really shocked Zhou Jinlong, Hu Zhiguo and others. If something happened, how would they explain it to the military?

    The two men did not dare to neglect and immediately persuaded Li Guoyao to leave, but Li Guoyao was unmoved and resolutely let them continue to direct the battle.

    Seeing the intensive artillery fire falling on the city, and a large number of soldiers being killed and injured, Li Guoyao did not lie down on the ground to avoid like others, but checked the impact point of the shells himself.

    Soon, Li Guoyao took out a pen from his pocket, found a piece of paper, wrote a series of numbers on it, and then ordered someone to send it to the artillery camp immediately!

    It is said that the artillery battalion commander was overjoyed after receiving what Li Guoyao sent. He immediately shouted to the officers and soldiers under his command: "Everyone is here, adjust the gun position immediately, coordinatesthe distanceheight of the target"

    "One test shot!"

    "Fire!"

    Following the order of the artillery battalion commander, 12 artillery shells were fired straight in the direction of the Japanese artillery position. Then a rumbling explosion was heard outside the city, followed by the sound of the artillery shells exploding.

    "Continue to fire, and extend the artillery fire after two minutes. Use all the shells for me to light up and then move the position!"

    "yes!"

    Immediately after the establishment of the establishment, the sound of artillery continued, and the Japanese artillery position outside was soon shrouded in dense artillery shells. A Menshan artillery field gun was blown into scrap metal, and each gunner was killed and injured.

    Seeing through the telescope the smoke and dust billowing from the Japanese artillery positions a few kilometers away, Li Guoyao couldn't help but laugh. These sons of bitches really thought I was easy to bully. By placing the artillery positions so close, weren't they looking for death?

    At the same time, in the Japanese enemy's headquarters, the commander of the 16th Division, Nakajima Kongo, was shocked and angry. He immediately ordered the artillery to move their positions immediately, and at the same time ordered the troops to continue charging.

    However, without the artillery cover and support, the infantry charge was obviously in vain. After an hour of bloody fighting, the advancing infantry group finally withdrew only a little more than one-third, and the rest was left behind on the position.  (Remember the website address: www.hlnovel.com
