Hundreds of artillery shells exploded one after another, and in the area inside and outside the city wall, clusters of huge flames rose one after another.

The successive explosions sounded as terrifying as the sky collapsing and the earth cracking. Countless shrapnel flew along with the shock wave, destroying everything including the city gates and buildings.

Under the flames, the entire Dongchengmen building collapsed immediately, disintegrated in an instant, torn apart in the flames of the explosion, and turned into nothing.

Before they woke up, the dozen or so devil soldiers inside the city gate were killed on the spot by the huge shock wave generated by the explosion, and then buried alive by the collapsed bricks and rubble. nothing.

More shells fell on the buildings in the city and the open space outside the city gate.

All of a sudden, the buildings inside and outside the entire East Gate were damaged, explosions continued, and scarlet flames rose into the sky one after another. At first glance, the entire East Gate was engulfed in a sea of ​​flames.

Almost the entire area is illuminated like daylight, and it can be seen clearly from a long distance.

"Keep firing! Give me a blast! You little devil has seen how powerful the artillery battalion of my Huben Regiment is!"

As the order was issued, the other devils and puppet troops in the city had not yet responded.

The second wave of rapid fire from the Artillery Battalion of the Huben Regiment has arrived as scheduled.

This time, the destructive power was even greater. The entire city wall at the east city gate was riddled with shells and crumbling.

A section of the city wall 20 meters away on the left side of the city gate building was even more overwhelmed, and it collapsed immediately. The rammed earth and masonry continued to collapse, forming a slope buffer zone with a width of more than 10 meters!

……

"Baga! What's going on?"

"Where did the explosion sound come from?"

"Assemble! Hurry up, hurry up!"

The devils and puppet soldiers in the city were so startled by the violent explosions from the east of the city that they woke up from their sleep. They threw off the bedding, put on their clothes, picked up the weapons that were placed on the wall, and panicked from their respective barracks. rushed out.

Major Maeda Ichiro was the supreme commander of the Yangxin garrison. At that time, he was on his couch, having a turmoil with the top card in Liuyue Tower.

That's right, it's the oiran that Mazi was talking about!

The sudden violent explosion frightened the little devil into disarming and surrendering.

Maeda Ichiro pulled out the gun fiercely, then put on his clothes in a panic.

"Taijun, Taijun, what's the matter?"

The kiln sister was also so frightened that her face turned pale, she pulled up the quilt and wrapped herself in a corner of the bed.

"boom!"

Maeda Ichiro ignored Sister Yao's call, opened the door, and ran towards his headquarters.

Didn't even bother to close the door.

Maeda Ichiro had just run into halfway when he bumped into a staff officer on duty.

"What's with this explosion?"

The devil's staff officer immediately raised his hand and saluted: "Sir, something is wrong, the east gate has been violently bombarded by unknown armed forces!"

On the way running over, Maeda Ichiro had already deeply realized how fierce the incoming artillery fire was.

He no longer cared about where this enemy army came from, and immediately opened his voice to order: "Baga! This enemy must have come to Yangxin County, and they want to take advantage of the lack of defensive troops of the imperial army." , capture this place!

The conspiracy of this Chinese army must not be allowed to succeed.

Immediately request tactical guidance from the division headquarters, and quickly adjust the 2nd and 3rd infantry squadrons, as well as the security regiment, to rush to the east gate for help!

In any case, we must stick to it until the reinforcements arrive, and we must not let the Chinese army outside the city attack! "

At this time, Haruki Nakajima, the deputy captain of the Maeda Brigade, also rushed over, and just heard Maeda Ichiro's order, so he said with a heavy face: "Your Excellency, Captain, please forgive me for speaking bluntly, with the artillery power of the Chinese Army in the east of the city Judging from it, the incoming enemy army must be strong.

It may even be a certain elite unit of the 9th Theater of China. Their purpose is also obvious. Apart from taking the opportunity to recapture Yangxin, they also want to create chaos to help the Huben regiment of the Chinese Army escape from the 11th Army of the Imperial Army. !

This Chinese army has a purpose, and it is menacing and powerful. With only one infantry brigade and more than 1000 imperial association troops, it may be difficult to hold on, especially since the Chinese army has already approached the city, and we haven't found it yet!

Therefore, I suggest that we should give up here voluntarily and quickly retreat towards Xianning. As long as we preserve our vitality, when reinforcements arrive, we can counterattack and regain this place at any time! "

…………

Chapter 559 Invading the city, the panicked devils

"ia!"

As soon as Haruki Nakajima finished speaking, Ichiro Maeda swung his arms round, slapped him hard on the face, and then shouted in an almost roaring tone: "Baga! You are so stupid!

You also said that this group of Chinese troops is most likely to help the Huben Regiment escape from the encirclement and suppression of the 11th Army of the Imperial Army. If we give up Yangxin, they will be able to cross the river north and enter Anhui!

At that time, if our 11th Army's encirclement and suppression plan fails because of our fleeing without a fight, can you bear the responsibility?

Or do you want me to make a heart-to-heart apology so that you can succeed me as the captain of the brigade? "

The hierarchy of the Japanese army is very strict.

Haruki Nakajima received a solid slap, didn't even dare to fart, and quickly bowed his head to admit his mistake: "Ha Yi, what your Excellency the captain taught me is that the humble job knows it's wrong!"

Maeda Ichiro urged in a stern voice: "Execute the order immediately! Tell the Imperial Army of the 2nd and 3rd Squadrons, and the Imperial Army of the Security Regiment, if they cannot defend the east gate, they will all apologize to His Majesty the Emperor by harakiri!"

"Hay!" Haruki Nakajima hurriedly nodded, and immediately left with his hands on his burning cheeks.

……

"set off!"

"Destination, East Gate!"

"Quick! Hurry up!—"

Outside the headquarters of the brigade, as Haruki Nakajima waved his saber vigorously forward, the devils of the 2nd and 3rd Infantry Squadrons, as well as the puppet soldiers of the Security Regiment, stepped forward one after another, and walked along the central main street to the Head towards the east gate where the artillery fire is the most violent.

"boom!"

"Boom boom boom boom!—"

As the distance got closer, the sound of the explosion in the direction of the east gate became clearer and chilling.

At the end of the team, several puppet soldiers deliberately slowed down.

Haruki Nakajima was already suffocating evil fire in his heart, at this moment, as if he had found an outlet, he quickly pulled out the bastard box on his waist, and fired a few shots at several people.

Seeing this, the rest of the puppet troops were frightened to death, and immediately accelerated their forward speed, not daring to delay any longer.

There is no way, although Dongmen is dangerous, at least there is still a chance of survival.

And if you stop, the few companions lying on the street bleeding profusely in front of you are living examples.

……

the other side.

The devils and puppet soldiers guarding the other three gates also entered into a state of battle in a panic. One by one, they held guns and hid behind the battlements of the city wall. Such a violent and powerful artillery strike.

Because under that level of artillery fire, the possibility of surviving is almost zero, and it is more likely to be bombed to death!

……

Xianning City.

Headquarters of the 106th Division of the Japanese Army.

After receiving the call for help from Yangxin, the devil's staff officer on duty did not dare to neglect in the slightest. He immediately took the translated message, hurried out of the confidential room, and walked towards the bedroom of the commander of the division, Matsuura Junrokuro.

"Your Excellency, Commander, something is wrong!"

"Crackling!—"

Not long after, the door opened, and Junrokuro Matsuura, who was full of sleepiness, asked with displeasure: "Why are you so flustered? Tell me quickly!"

"Hayi!" The devil's staff officer paused and said, "The Maeda Brigade called urgently, saying that Yangxin was attacked by the Chinese army!

The enemy's strength is at least one reorganized division, and the current situation is very critical, so ask the division headquarters for tactical guidance! "

After finishing speaking, the devil's staff officer handed over the telegram respectfully.

Matsuura Junrokuro glanced at the telegram, and suddenly lost all sleepiness. At first, this Chinese army quietly crossed the imperial army's heavy defense line, and appeared directly in Yangxin, which was simply unbelievable.

Secondly, the main force of the 11th Army is currently besieging the Huben Regiment of the Chinese Army in Huangmei County. Once the Chinese Army crosses Yangxin and crosses the Yangtze River north to join the Huben Regiment, the consequences will be disastrous.

Originally, in the battle of Wanjialing, the poor performance of the 106th Division had already made the front army headquarters and even the base camp extremely dissatisfied.

If there is another mistake in this, then he will be the head of the division.

At that moment, Matsuura Junrokuro immediately shouted: "Order the 106th Royal Cavalry Regiment and the 111th Infantry Brigade to go to Yangxin as soon as possible!"

"Also, call Major Maeda Ichiro again and tell him that reinforcements are coming soon, and tell him to defend Yangxin at all costs!

Otherwise, cut seppuku yourself and apologize to His Majesty the Emperor! "

"Roms!"

The devil's staff officer nodded heavily, then turned and left.

…………

The screen zooms to Yangxin East Gate.

After several rounds of salvo, Yang Jing gave the artillery battalion an order to extend the firepower.

After receiving the order, the soldiers of the Artillery Battalion immediately adjusted their shooting and fired hot shells towards the city.

It is worth mentioning that in the Battle of Wanjialing, the Japanese army suffered heavy casualties under the fierce resistance of the Communist Party.

Then, the devils who became angry from embarrassment poured their anger on the innocent people, burning, killing, looting and committing all kinds of crimes in the places they passed along the way.

Yangxin, not too far from Wanjialing, naturally became the hardest hit area.

After the county town was captured by the Japanese army, almost all the people in the city who had no time to escape were brutally massacred.

Cruel little devils, even sick old people lying on the couch, and babies who are still in their infancy and waiting to be fed!

Therefore, Yang Jing was not worried that the artillery fire would accidentally injure innocent people in the city!

"boom!"

"Boom boom boom boom!—"

With the expansion of the firepower of the artillery camp of the Huben Regiment, the entire east of Yangxin City was instantly blown into a sea of ​​flames.

In the red light soaring into the sky, houses collapsed one after another, turning into pieces of ruins.

At that time, the devils of the 2nd and 3rd Infantry Squadrons, and the puppet troops of the security regiment had already rushed to the east of the city.

Some shells that fell from the sky landed on the street, among the devils and puppet soldiers who came.

"boom!"

The shell landed on the spot, and the powerful shock wave generated by the explosion sent all the devils and puppet soldiers flying out, and died before they landed.

More little devils were hit by raging shrapnel and broken bricks and rubble.

For a time, wailing was everywhere, and there were countless casualties!

"Ugh!"

"Ugh!..."

"I don't want to die!"

"Help me, health guard, help me!"

……

This battle is over!

The surviving devils and puppet soldiers saw that their companions were blown to limbs and arms under the baptism of enemy artillery fire, or were crushed to death by plundered shrapnel and bricks and rubble, or were destroyed by collapsed houses. The walls are buried alive.

Morale fell to the bottom all of a sudden, and everyone fell into endless panic!

No matter what orders they gave, they just wanted to survive and escape from this damned place as soon as possible!

So they turned around and fled!

As soon as someone took the lead, more people joined the retreat soon!

"Baga, Lu! Back it up, back it up!"

Although Haruki Nakajima and some devil officers tore their throats, they even pulled their guns and pulled the trigger on the retreating puppet army.

But under the powerful artillery bombardment of the Huben regiment, the defeat has become an irreversible fact.
