Others show their swords, I show my missiles!

Look at the defense of Xiyang City: there is not a single Japanese on the wall, and the city gate is not even closed.

Could it be that the Japanese were so frightened that they lay down?

Or are the Japanese trying to surrender?

neither!

The Japanese just summed up their experience based on the previous bombardment of Xiyang and the bombardment of Xiangyuan.

The last time we were bombarded, a small number of Japanese soldiers were on the city wall, and some were at the city gate.

As a result, these Japanese soldiers received their lunch boxes immediately.

When faced with large-caliber artillery, being discovered means being destroyed.

The city wall is useless at all, not to mention that the Xiyang City Wall is not high, and the parts that were destroyed last time have not been repaired.

There is no need to defend the city wall.

The Japanese who had been bombarded in Xiyang did not dare to tell other Japanese: In fact, not only were the city walls and gates useless, but the bunkers and gun towers were also useless!

If you say it, you will be scolded, so it is better to let them slowly conclude it with their own blood and lives.

Even bunkers made of reinforced concrete are useless!

These are all living targets in front of the giant cannon.

City walls, bunkers, etc. cannot be moved. If you can't deal with it with one shot, use two shots. Anyway, you are right there and can't run away!

Soon, the role of the city wall was only used to describe the thick skin of some people.

What can protect the Japanese is not the city wall, but the Chinese people who are usually treated as nothing by themselves;

As well as some cultural relics and historic sites that our army was reluctant to blow up.

Only by mixing with ordinary people or staying in historical ruins can they survive.

For armored vehicles such as heavy infantry fighting vehicles, anti-tank trenches combined with anti-tank weapons are effective.

Even in the Bear-Bird War decades later, anti-tank trenches will still be useful.

If the tank falls inside, it won't be able to get out for a while. Although the tank was still usable after being towed out, it was unable to participate in the battle at that time.

However, the Japanese did not expect this this time. They also lack awareness of anti-tank warfare.

In the past, the Japanese side had tanks, and our army tried every means to blow up the tanks, even to the point of dying together with the tanks.

Our army does not have tanks now, but heavy infantry fighting vehicles are not much different from tanks.

After the 16th and 18th regiments arrived, they were not in a hurry to attack the city.

First, use heavy artillery to plow the outside of the city and clear the mines.

Then there was a burst of firepower directed at the city walls and gates.

The low city wall of Xiyang City no longer looks like a city wall, and the crawler-type infantry fighting vehicles can pass by easily.

The Japanese headquarters was also shelled at the same time, but the results were not great. Just demolished a few houses.

The Japanese headquarters has long been empty.

The Japanese captain was bragging to his subordinates: "Look, I am smart! I am the smartest beast in our big plaster army! So far, less than 10 of the locust army have been smashed to pieces!"

"Your Excellency, Captain, is the smartest beast I have ever seen! I admire you so much! But, what should I do next?"

"Request tactical guidance immediately!"

"Roms!"

The only thing the Japanese captain could think of was to surrender or run away.

"Report! The 71st Brigade is requesting tactical guidance. The Haqilu heavy artillery has razed the Xiyang City Wall to the ground. Our 71st Brigade is in danger!" Banshui County No. [-] received a telegram requesting help.

"Contact the 13th Brigade to see what's going on there. Have the 71st Brigade move closer to the 13th Brigade if necessary, and move to Pingding together!"

"Roms!"

The 13th Brigade is on the run. Although the radio station is important, it is too heavy. The signal corpsman threw it away at the risk of going back and being executed.

After arriving in Pingding, he used the phone number in Pingding to report the encounter of the 13th Brigade to Banshui County No. [-].

At this time, Banshui County Er hated Xiaozhong Yinan for not agreeing to his plan immediately.

Running away without fighting is considered a strategic move. Running away just after being beaten will not be believed by anyone even if you say you are not running away.

On Xiyang's side, according to the plan, the 1st Special Operations Regiment seized the commanding heights of the remaining city wall.

At the same time, the heavy infantry fighting vehicles of the 16th Regiment roared through the city.

When attacked, the infantry fighting vehicles stopped and fired with machine guns. The snipers on the city wall will not let go as long as they see the Japanese.

Headshots were shot one after another, not because the snipers deliberately shot them in the head, but because the Japs often only exposed half of their heads.

Of course, the Japanese will also fight back against snipers, and the effective range of the Type [-] light machine gun is not short.

The shooting speed is not slow either, but the weight is too heavy for street fighting!

It is similar to our army's 12.7mm heavy machine gun.

However, even if a blind cat kills a mouse, it can still injure several soldiers.

Infantry fighting vehicles also suffered losses. Some of them could no longer be driven and were parked in place as fixed fortresses.

The occupants in the infantry fighting vehicle were shocked to the point of dizziness and tinnitus at most, but their lives were not in danger.

The infantry fighting vehicle behind bypassed the damaged vehicle in front and continued to move forward. Weaving back and forth in Xiyang City. Destroyed the morale of the Japanese.

The 18th Regiment was just an ordinary infantry regiment with updated equipment. It was mainly responsible for fighting the Japanese from house to house.

Our army's casualties mainly came from the 18th Regiment; the largest enemy-killing results also came from the 18th Regiment.

The 18th Regiment participated in the war for the first time. In order to build up the momentum of the 18th Regiment and make other troops think highly of themselves, they fought very bravely.

Some soldiers even took off their body armor because the weight of the body armor affected their tactical movements.

After all, our army also has an advantage in close combat firepower. In street fighting, the Japanese lost more than our army.

"Report, Haqi Road rushed into the city from three sides, southeast and west, and started a street battle with our army.

Our large plaster locust army resolutely blocked the attack, but the armored vehicles on Haqi Road were too thick. At most, their tracks were broken and they stopped in place, making it impossible to completely destroy them.

Nearly three hundred of the warriors of my Great Plaster Locust Army have been crushed to pieces! "

"What about the north? Is there a Haqi Road in the north?" asked the Japanese captain.

"Report, Haqi Road was not found!"

"This is a trap. Only the north gate is left for me to get through. There must be an ambush in the north!" The captain was indeed the captain, and he immediately realized that there was a problem.

"Then we won't go north?" asked the Japanese messenger.

"Asshole! Where can I go if I don't go north? Didn't Haqi Road set a trap for me to escape? Then I'll escape!

According to Lord Banshui's order, turn north! "

The captain thought to himself: "No matter whether there is an ambush at the north gate or not, we can only go through the north gate. There are thousands of people waiting there in the other three directions. If you go in the other three directions, the mortality rate is 100%. Only the north gate was not looked at. Even if the mortality rate is 100%, there is still a glimmer of hope."

"Roms!"

At the same time, a voice in plaster dialect with a strong Shanxi accent also came from the infantry tank:

"There is no Eighth Route Army in the north. Go north and there is hope for survival." The soldiers who had been cramming for a few days could only shout out these two decent plaster slogans.

The Japanese messengers also conveyed orders one by one:

"Withdraw from the battle in an orderly manner, go north, meet up with the 13th Brigade, and turn to Pingding!"

If the order could not be conveyed, he would shout through the loudspeaker without worrying about being heard by our troops.

Just like that, the Japs began to come out of the house and flee north.

Our army's snipers deliberately lowered the shooting density so that the Japanese could really see hope.

Seeing the Japanese fleeing to the north, our soldiers were not in a hurry to shoot.

It is necessary to let the escaping Japs lead the waiting Japs to run away together.

This is the herd mentality.

If the Japanese are killed as soon as they show up, they will fight to the death with our army.

In that case, our army's casualties would be great.

Those who tried to shoot and those who ran slowly would be shot in the chest.

It's already exposed, so hitting the chest is more efficient than hitting the head.

Those Japanese who lost their direction, did not know which way to run, or those who ran in the wrong direction would be beaten into pieces by infantry fighting vehicles or our infantry.

Soon, the orderly retreat turned into a rout.

When all the Japanese escaped from Xiyang City from the north.

The 16th Regiment quickly went around and drove the Japanese toward the 17th Regiment.

The 1st Special Operations Regiment and the 18th Special Operations Regiment cleaned up the remaining Japanese in the city and cleaned up the battlefield.
