After receiving Li Qiufan's order, Lao Ma quickly transferred six field cannons to the front line.
Li Qiufan immediately asked the gunner to adjust the angle, aiming at a point on the city wall to launch bombardment.
"Boom boom boom..."
As the field cannon began to bombard the city wall, holes were immediately drilled into the city wall.
"Inform the heavy artillery division to pull up all the infantry artillery in their hands and point it at the city wall for me to blast!"
Seeing the effect, Li Qiufan immediately mobilized all the infantry artillery, because the infantry artillery can shoot directly.
Although field cannon can cause greater damage to city walls, its shells are also very precious.
The infantry artillery has more shells. Although it is less powerful, the shells are enough.
This is nothing more than changing from a sledgehammer to a small hammer, and it will take longer to break through the city wall.
After Li Qiufan's order was issued, the heavy artillery division mobilized all the infantry artillery in hand and concentrated fire at the point where the field cannon attacked.
With the endless bombardment of infantry artillery, coupled with field cannon attacks from time to time, the city wall was about to be blown out of the gap.
The National Army also discovered this situation and quickly asked the artillery to bombard the People's Liberation Army's infantry artillery. At the same time, it asked the old fox to let the plane take off and provide them with air support.
At this time, the old fox had no way out. After receiving the request, he immediately gave the order to the pilots, asking them to take off immediately to bomb the enemy artillery positions.
Soon the plane was loaded with ammunition and took off, heading towards a vertical position.
Before the plane arrived, in order to prevent the city wall from being blown down, the Chinese army first asked its artillery to bombard the infantry artillery on Li Qiufan's side.
However, this firing immediately exposed the location of their artillery positions, and the heavy artillery division directly aimed all howitzers at their artillery positions for bombardment.
The artillery on the National Army's side had not fired three rounds before it was directly destroyed by the heavy artillery division, which made all the National Army soldiers fearful.
After seeing that the opponent's shelling had stopped, Li Qiufan knew that the artillery position had been destroyed, and hurriedly ordered the gunners who controlled the infantry guns to speed up the shelling.
Just as the city wall was about to collapse, the national army plane arrived.
Hearing the sound of planes flying in the air, the boss's face suddenly changed.
"Qiu Fan, quickly pull back the infantry and artillery. The enemy's planes have arrived. Try to reduce losses as much as possible!"
The boss's tone was very anxious, and he asked Li Qiufan to withdraw all the infantry artillery pieces so that he could save each one.
"Boss, don't worry, I'll treat you to a good show next!"
But Li Qiufan was very calm, smiled at the boss and said.
"How long have you been joking? Hurry up and remove all the cannons!"
When the boss saw Li Qiufan's calm look, he was so angry that he wanted to beat him up.
If so many infantry artillery were destroyed by enemy planes, the boss would be heartbroken.
But Li Qiufan remained unmoved and quietly looked at the direction of the plane.
This was not the first time enemy pilots had fought against Li Qiufan. They knew that this group of People's Liberation Army had anti-aircraft guns and had shot down many of their planes.
When they were about to reach the first column position, all the pilots heightened their vigilance.
They did not bomb directly, but circled around the perimeter looking for anti-aircraft gun positions.
"What's going on? Why doesn't Old Fox's plane fly over to bomb?"
The boss was also stunned when he saw the enemy pilot's operation and didn't understand what kind of aircraft the other party was doing.
"Haha, they were shocked by my domineering aura!"
After hearing what the boss said, Li Qiufan grinned, and then started joking with the boss.
"Get out of here, you bastard! If you act like a tyrant, I think you're just a bastard!"
The boss kicked Li Qiufan angrily, and then continued to observe the movements of the enemy aircraft worriedly.
"Correspondent, let the gunners continue the bombardment and ignore the planes in the sky!"
Li Qiufan, who was kicked, did not dare to resist, and then called the correspondent to inform the artillery to continue the bombardment.
The soldiers on the position naturally discovered the enemy aircraft. At this time, everyone stared at the sky nervously, and the shelling of all infantry artillery also stopped.
After receiving Li Qiufan's order, all the artillerymen suppressed the fear in their hearts and continued to operate infantry cannons to bombard the city wall.
After seeing the People's Liberation Army stop briefly and then continue, the national army general in charge of the West Gate Defense Line once again sent a telegram to the old fox, asking him to give the pilot an order to destroy the enemy's infantry artillery as soon as possible.
The old fox was also very confused after receiving the news. He didn't understand why the plane had not carried out bombing since it had arrived at the location.
Then the old fox had someone notify the pilot, asking him to destroy the enemy's infantry artillery as soon as possible and save the west gate wall.
After receiving the order, the pilot had no choice but to bite the bullet and fly towards the infantry artillery position.
After circling for so long, they still did not find the location of the anti-aircraft artillery position. After receiving the death order, they could only pray that the opponent's anti-aircraft artillery had been transported elsewhere and was not deployed below.
Seeing the plane flying towards the position, the boss nervously clenched his fists.
But Li Qiufan still looked indifferent, as if he hadn't seen the plane flying towards them.
Just when the enemy aircraft was about to arrive at the bombing position, soldiers at several positions on the position suddenly became busy and directly opened large tarpaulins.
Under the tarpaulin was the anti-aircraft gun. The soldiers of the anti-aircraft artillery regiment quickly entered the control position, and then bombarded the enemy aircraft, forming a cross-fire network in an instant.
Li Qiufan had already expected that the old fox would send planes to bomb, so he had already made arrangements for the anti-aircraft artillery regiment.
Since there was no hiding place nearby, Li Qiufan directly arranged the anti-aircraft gun position on the front line, then flattened all the gun barrels and covered them with tarpaulin to hide them.
In order to confuse the enemy pilots, Li Qiufan also had people sprinkle hay and dust on the tarpaulin.
Although the difference can be seen at a glance at a close distance, the enemy pilots are flying in the sky, and due to the distance, there is no abnormality at all.
As a result, the anti-aircraft artillery regiment directly caught the enemy pilots off guard. The firepower network formed by more than 20 anti-aircraft guns instantly blocked the flight path of the enemy aircraft, and shot down five of them in one encounter.
This time, the enemy only dispatched a dozen aircraft in total, and nearly half of them were lost in an instant. This made the surviving pilots tremble in their hearts, and they directly changed direction and moved away from the position.
"That was an anti-aircraft gun just now?"
The boss witnessed the whole scene of five planes being shot down. When he saw the remaining enemy planes flying away from the position, he hurriedly asked Li Qiufan beside him.
