Wen County,

on the city wall fortress,

"Tuba Road actually plans to attack the city."

Holding the binoculars and looking at Tubal Road, which was swarming from three sides in the distance, the Japanese captain in charge of garrisoning Wen County widened his eyes for a moment and was stunned.

"snort!"

"court death!"

But soon, he put down the telescope and sounded disdainful.

Since the so-called Hundred Regiments War in September last year, although there have been dozens of Tubal siege battles, most of the battles ended with the city wall being broken and the locust army defeated.

However, those cities captured by Tubal Road were all unimportant cities located in mountainous areas. The locust army garrisoned in the city was a lone army with no reinforcements around. Finally, after several days of fighting, Tubal Road finally captured the county seat.

And Wen County, where his brigade is stationed...

It is located to the west of the Jinzhong Basin, guarding the access from the mountainous area to the basin. It is only 60 kilometers away from Taiyuan in a straight line. Even if reinforcements set off from Taiyuan, they can arrive within half a day, including the preparation time.

Unless Tubal Road can capture Wen County within a few hours.

"Send report to Wing Headquarters..."

Although he was confident in his heart, the Japanese captain also knew that there were at least 3,000 people on Tubal Road in front of him, and they also had flamethrowers and other weapons, which were enough to pose a threat to the solid fortifications. The Wenxian Brigade alone could only hold on for a few days at most.

time.

If you want to defeat this attacking force, you must rely on reinforcements.

"What do they want?"

After reporting the news to his superiors, the Japanese captain fell into deep thought.

Tubalu are not idiots. They are sophisticated and cunning. With so many troops coming to besiege Wen County, there must be a conspiracy.

However, he quickly forgot about it.

As a captain, this is none of his business.

and,

He had no time or energy to think about this doubt.

boom···

One after another, the 82-meter high-explosive bombs hit near the outer fortifications of Wen County, splashing up clouds of dirt and debris, and the smoke rising up almost obscured the view of the Japanese in all the fortifications.

"Continue the bombardment."

Looking at the Japanese position caught in artillery fire in the distance, the commanding officer ordered the artillery battalion's eighteen 82-meter mortars to continue shelling.

The independent regiment left enough artillery shells, especially 82 artillery shells, and the headquarters ordered that they can open fire this time.

We must capture Wen County with minimal casualties.

Of course, we must also ensure speed and capture Wen County as soon as possible.

Boom boom boom...

The shells were still falling continuously. Although the 82 mortar shells were not powerful enough, they were unable to cause damage to the fortifications.

However, due to lack of materials, the Japanese's peripheral fortifications were not strong. The traffic trenches, barbed wire fences, and machine gun bunkers on the periphery were all destroyed by the continuous falling artillery shells.

"superior."

After the shelling, an elite assault group carried flamethrowers and launched an attack on the Japanese outer fortifications.

At the same time, several soldiers pushed out a Type 92 infantry gun from the trench.

"smoke bomb!"

At the same time, more than a dozen smoke bombs obscured the surrounding areas of the Japanese fortifications, completely blocking the Japanese's sight.

The smoke grenades obscured the enemy's fire range, and the shelling damaged the surrounding individual fortifications. Although they failed to destroy them, they also severely limited the role of the fortifications. Facing the attack of elite commandos carrying flamethrowers and under the cover of superior firepower, less than

Within an hour and a half, the fortification was easily captured.

If it weren’t for the support from the Japanese artillery,

the other side.

The east side of the county.

Due to historical reasons, Wenxian County is different from other counties in that there is no surrounding closed city wall. The east side is an open land with many houses and the terrain is relatively complex. The Japanese have adapted to local conditions and built defensive positions based on rows of houses.

And they forcibly opened up an open area to facilitate control.

Relying on firepower and superior strength, the attacking troops captured most of the houses in just one and a half hours. At this time, a full regiment of troops gathered in front of the Japanese positions on the east side.

Opposite is the position controlled by the Japanese.

With such a terrain, even if artillery fire destroys these houses, the Japanese can still rely on the wreckage to defend, making it difficult to conquer.

And in front of us are streets and alleys dotted with machine gun fortresses...

In the officer training class organized by the headquarters, the thick military textbooks from Li Yunlong's friends used countless actual combat examples and deductions to prove how difficult street fighting was.

The commander in charge of the command naturally knows it very well.

In the past, they were able to quickly capture most of the houses on the east side because the Japanese troops were short of troops and had to shrink their defense.

In front of us is a key defensive position of the Japanese. Heavy troops have been assembled, the fortifications are complete and solid, and there are even underground tunnels. If we attack rashly, we may not be able to capture it in a few days, let alone a few hours.

Even though they have superior strength and firepower.

Therefore, he planned to change his style of play.

"Armor-piercing projectile."

Looking at the group of houses occupied by the Japs in front of him, the regiment leader responsible for directing the attack ordered excitedly. He even came to a new heavy machine gun and planned to operate it himself.

Although they had only received the new heavy machine gun for a day, their previous cooperative battles with the independent regiment allowed them to clearly see the power of this machine gun.

The new machine gun is extremely powerful. If a tungsten alloy armor-piercing bullet is used, it can easily penetrate a three-layer sandbag bunker from a distance of 300 meters, and then kill the Japanese soldiers hiding behind it.

Even so, as long as there is a hit, the enemy will either lose his hands and feet and be completely disabled, or he will die on the spot. There is no second possibility.

Dozens of heavy machine guns were gathered together and all replaced with tungsten alloy armor-piercing bullets.

Dong Dong Dong··

The staggered arrangement of heavy muzzle fireworks exploded, and bullets penetrated the fortifications made of earth and wood one after another, penetrated the houses, and riddled the fortifications carefully arranged by the Japanese based on the houses.

This is the land of Jin. Although it is a relatively prosperous Jinzhong Basin, compared with Europe, it is still barren. The houses are generally made of adobe bricks and blue bricks, and there is almost no concrete deconstruction.

The Japanese fortifications could only be built with blue bricks, sandbags, etc.

This multi-layer masonry and sand structure can block direct fire from the Maxim machine gun and even the Type 92 infantry gun, but it is useless against tungsten alloy armor-piercing projectiles that exit the chamber at high speed.

Especially high-density firepower.

After the bullet penetrated the wall, it still continued unabated, killing the Japanese infantry hiding behind the bunker and preparing to counterattack.

"Ha ha···"

"Keep shooting!"

With his hand on the trigger, the commander in charge issued the order with a cheerful tone.

The shooting continues,

In an array composed of dozens of machine guns, a dense rain of bullets erupted, and the tungsten alloy armor-piercing bullets fired at high speed easily penetrated the multi-layer masonry and sandbag bunkers, killing the Japanese hiding behind the bunkers with unabated force.

It's not like the Japanese didn't resist.

But in the face of the attacker's superior firepower, grenades, crooked handles, Type 92 heavy machine guns, and even Type 92 infantry guns were all useless.

As for the two Type 41 mountain guns belonging to the brigade, they are simply too busy.

In this attack on Wen County, the troops attacked simultaneously on three sides, with a main force group attacking on each side.

You must know that the main regiment of the army, except for the cannons, far exceeds the Japanese brigade in terms of strength and firepower. It can be said that the attack on Wenxian at this time is to strengthen the regiment-level strength.

On such a battlefield, just two mountain cannons can't make waves at all.

Not to mention, these two mountain guns will have to face attacks from small groups of troops carrying new 60mm mortars that may appear at any time, and will not be able to provide effective fire support at all.

"attack."

The machine gun bunkers, bunkers, and shooting points were all destroyed by large-caliber heavy machine guns using tungsten alloy armor-piercing bullets. The regiment commander who directed the attack on the east side of Wen County ordered the troops to launch an attack.

With the input of infantry, the east side of Wenxian County was declared lost.

"General, send an urgent call to the county."
