Outside the east gate of Heyuan County.
After clearing the firing range at 11 o'clock, the soldiers of the First Battalion of the Independent Regiment silently waited for the arrival of the feast that Zhang Dabiao had mentioned.
Not long after, they heard the sound of cannons in the distance——
"boom!"
"boom!"
"boom!"
…
The sound of artillery, as dense as a violent storm, resounded across the sky.
Everyone couldn't help but look back, and saw tiny firelights flashing on a hillside about 2 kilometers away. In the dark night, it was very clear.
A few seconds later, dense explosions resounded on the east wall of Heyuan County.
"boom!"
"boom!"
"boom!"
…
Cannonballs rained down on the city walls and battlements, and shrapnel, gravel and other objects rushed towards the little Japs on the wall, making them cry for their fathers and mothers and scream in agony——
"Ah! I'm injured, medic, help!"
"Baga, my eyes!"
"Mom, I want to go home! Tubalu is so cruel!"
"Get down and avoid the gunfire! Ah - uh - poof -"
…
When the commander of the little devil saw such a terrifying scene, his face suddenly twisted and he roared:
"idiot!
Didn’t it mean that Tubal Road had very few artillery and not many artillery shells?
How come there are hundreds of artillery salvos firing now?
Who is supporting their artillery and shells? "
Due to the extremely fast rate of fire of the anti-aircraft guns, it was clear that only 11 artillery salvos were fired, but the effect created was similar to the intensity of firepower produced by hundreds of artillery pieces, so he misunderstood.
But of course no one could answer his question. The little Japanese soldiers around him all tried their best to shrink down and try to avoid the bombardment.
Seeing how cowardly these losers were, he wished he could rush out and roar at the people on the street below.
But fortunately, he didn't lose his mind. He forcibly restrained his urge to rush out and commit suicide, and shouted behind him:
"Quickly, call the Chief of Staff and ask for tactical guidance!
There are too many artillery pieces on Tubal Road! "
However, as soon as he said these words, before anyone could take the order to do the work, a piece of shrapnel flew over and penetrated directly into his head.
I saw that half of his head was cut off on the spot, and he died without pain.
——Although he did not rush out to seek death, the revenge shells fired by the soldiers of the secret service battalion did not let him go!
When several soldiers next to him saw such a terrifying scene, they were so frightened that they urinated and shivered and ran back.
Everyone is thinking: Your Excellency, the Captain, is in pieces. Should we move in?
It's a pity that even if they want to transfer now, they have no chance.
Because the entire east wall is now covered with shrapnel and rubble, and artillery shells like raindrops are hitting them non-stop, as if they are free of charge!
All the little Japanese soldiers could only lie on the ground, waiting for the verdict of fate, praying that no shells would hit their heads!
…
When the soldiers in the first battalion of the city saw how terrifying the artillery of the secret service battalion was, they all couldn't help but smile and couldn't help but talk about it:
"Oh my god, this cannon is too scary!
Directly penetrated all the battlements! "
"Why do they have so many cannons? There seem to be over a hundred of them, right?"
“What do you know, kid? It’s not that there are too many cannons, it’s that their cannons fire quickly!
I heard that these are anti-aircraft guns, used to shoot down Japanese planes! "
"Really? No wonder it's so powerful!
The rate of fire of this gun is too fast! More than ten times faster than our infantry artillery! "
"That is!
Look at how fast those planes fly. If this gun fires slowly, can it hit the plane? "
…
Zhang Dabiao used a telescope to carefully observe the situation of the Japs on the city wall. He couldn't help but feel proud when he saw that sections of the city wall's crenellations were blown up by artillery shells from the secret service battalion.
He shouted to Hu Yong, the third company commander not far away:
"Hu Yong, don't you want to know what kind of meal I have prepared for the little devil?
Do you know now?
Is it exciting enough? "
Hu Yong chuckled:
"Battal Commander, this is so fucking awesome!
But this cannon is not from our camp, right?
When will you get dozens of these cannons for our battalion? "
Upon hearing this, the pride on Zhang Dabiao's face instantly froze.
Couldn't help but curse:
“You kid, really dare to think about dozens of anti-aircraft guns?
Do you think I'm a bitch like Yang Yuanshan who can pick up cannons at any time? "
Thinking of the weapons and equipment that Yang Yuanshan picked up in Yangshugou, he felt sour again and muttered:
"Those weapons and equipment were obviously picked up by me!"
…
Ten minutes of shelling was very long for the little devils. They all lay on the ground and counted it second by second.
But for the soldiers of the special agent battalion, it was too fast.
Before all the gunners and ammunition handlers had finished shooting, they heard Feng Shuanglin shouting:
“Stop the shelling!
Clean the barrel, inspect the barrel, and recover the shells! "
…
On the First Battalion side, as soon as the gunfire stopped, Zhang Dabiao immediately shouted:
"Infantry artillery, heavy machine guns, covering fire!
Trumpeter, blow the trumpet!
Comrades, rush with me and capture the city gate! "
Then he took the lead and rushed forward, causing a battalion of soldiers from a guard company to rush forward and block him.
As soon as they rushed, the soldiers from the other battalion also rushed towards the city gate like hungry tigers rushing towards food, shouting as they rushed -
"Kill!"
Amidst the loud sound of the charge horn, the soldiers from the first battalion poured into the city gate hole like a tide, and soon started fighting at close range with the remaining little Japs on the city wall.
…
The Secret Service Battalion and the First Battalion's siege progressed very smoothly. The Second Battalion at the North Gate and the Third Battalion at the West Gate were not to be outdone. With the assistance of the two artillery battalions in the regiment, they beat the little Japs until they couldn't hold their heads up. It was estimated that at most there were still The city can be broken in half an hour.
…
Li Yunlong's temporary command headquarters grinned suddenly when he received the news that both the Secret Service Battalion and the First Battalion had been breached.
Show off to Zhao Gang:
"Old Zhao, it seems we can go to the city to sleep tonight."
"Old Li, you still can't be careless, there are more than 3,000 little devils in the city.
I suggest that we send people to inform each battalion that we should aim to kill the enemy to the maximum extent and should not be reckless just to occupy more territory. "
Zhao Gang reminded.
"Well, don't worry, Yang Yuanshan, Zhang Dabiao and the rest of them are not people who do business at a loss."
Li Yunlong didn't care about his reminder.
"Old Li, should we immediately send a report to the brigade commander on the progress?
So that the brigade commander won’t worry about us? "
This time, they brought a radio and a hand-operated generator, so now Zhao would ask this just now.
"You have to report it, otherwise I think the brigade commander won't be able to sleep tonight!
Just say that we have successfully captured Heyuan County with few casualties!
The final casualties and results will be reported after dawn. "
Li Yunlong chuckled, and in his eyes, he seemed to see the brigade commander lying on the bed, tossing and turning.
“Are we still far away from winning it?
When you report like this, you are lying about military information! "
Zhao Gang frowned.
"Don't worry, didn't you listen to Yang Yuanshan's report?
They have already entered the city, and it is only a matter of time before they take it completely.
It's not really a lie about military intelligence. "
Li Yunlong didn't care.
Zhao Gang hesitated for a minute, and finally nodded:
"Okay, I'm going to ask the telegraph operator to send the message now."
…
Soon, Zhao Gang asked the telegraph operator to send the telegram to the brigade headquarters, and then received a reply from the brigade headquarters——
"Well done! I can finally have a peaceful sleep!"
Seeing the content of the telegram, Zhao Gang couldn't help but curl his lips and thought to himself: How come the brigade commander is like this bitch Li Yunlong, talking about "I"?
When Li Yunlong saw the telegram, he laughed:
"I know the brigade commander hasn't been able to sleep!"
