Subordinates reported that a large number of Tuba Road surrounded the county seat from all directions.
"idiot!"
Doi Genwu hurriedly ran up to the tower.
I raised my binoculars and looked outside. I didn't see many people wearing military uniforms. They were all wearing ordinary people's clothes.
There were a lot of people. Several thousand people.
They surrounded Fanxian County from all sides.
It looks like they are obviously guerrillas!
They don’t even have formal military uniforms. What are they if they’re not guerrillas?
It just so happens that these guerrillas have extremely strong combat effectiveness.
Fan County's outer strongholds were all captured in less than half a day. It took no effort.
The momentum is like breaking bamboo.
Unstoppable.
After careful observation with a telescope, I didn't seem to find anything special.
Many of them used rifles. There seemed to be some machine guns as well. The tactical movements were not standardized. I can be 100% sure that they were definitely guerrillas from Tubal Road.
The question now is, how can the majestic army not be able to defeat a group of Tubal guerrillas?
I always feel something is very awkward...
"boom!"
Suddenly, there was a loud noise.
Immediately, a gap was opened in the city wall. Bricks and rubble fell down one after another.
"boom!"
There was another loud noise.
Another gap was opened in the city wall.
Doi Genwu hurriedly shrank his head.
Then he hurriedly came down from the city wall.
Damn it!
The Tubal guerrillas really had field artillery.
This was a long-range shot from field artillery. The city wall of Fanxian County was easily blown open one gap after another.
Fortunately, outside the city wall, the Japanese army also built a large number of fortifications.
Otherwise, the city wall alone would not be able to stop Tubal Road's fierce attack.
"boom……"
"boom……"
The sound of explosions continued.
More city walls were blasted with gaps one by one.
There are no Japanese troops stationed on the city wall. Otherwise, it will definitely be blown up by artillery shells.
"idiot……"
Doi Mototake cursed angrily.
It is simply incredible that Tuba Road, as a guerrilla force, has so many artillery shells.
Just bombing the city wall took hundreds of artillery shells.
When did Tubalu become so wealthy?
have no choice……
He had no choice but to order the defenders to hold on tenaciously.
Without his order, no defenders were allowed to abandon their positions and retreat.
Everyone must serve His Majesty the Emperor.
As long as we hold on for ten days, reinforcements will arrive.
Ten days…
Well, only ten days...
Although the city wall was blown to pieces on the first day...
but!
Gentake Doi is still confident!
It also has a lot of bunkers and bunkers, which can effectively block the attacks of Tubal guerrillas.
But……
Why do I always feel a little...
A little less confident?
…
"Commander Zhang, thank you very much this time!"
"Without these field artillery, it would be really difficult to attack the county seat!"
Ding Wei said cheerfully.
Compared with the gloom and gloom of the Japanese invaders, the atmosphere here in the Eighth Route Army was much more cheerful.
Except that it consumes a little too many shells, I'm very satisfied with everything else.
The difficult fortifications of the original version are no problem in the face of field artillery. If you can't fix it with one shot, then use three more, five, or ten more!
Until it's done.
Since there were enough artillery shells, the artillery was also trained.
The artilleryman who didn't know anything at first has mastered quite a few tricks after firing hundreds of artillery shells.
After the city wall was blown to pieces, the infantry began to test the attack.
"boom!"
"boom!"
There was still intensive artillery fire clearing the way.
Raindrops of artillery shells hit the Japanese invaders' fortifications.
City walls are only obstacles and not considered fortifications.
The real fortifications are under the city wall.
However, the county's defenses are obviously much stronger than those of the outer strongholds. In particular, there are many more bunkers.
The Japanese invaders still attached great importance to earthworks. The bunkers they built were also very particular. Almost all of them were buried underground, with only hidden shooting holes exposed.
Even if the enemy has heavy artillery, it will be difficult to destroy these bunkers.
Unless there is a heavy artillery of 150 mm or more. There are enough artillery shells to bomb repeatedly.
To put it bluntly, the 75mm field gun is of little use.
The 81mm mortar is also of little use.
After several attempts, it was difficult to destroy the Japanese invaders' bunker directly.
The artillerymen tried to use field artillery to aim directly at those bunkers, but found it very difficult because the targets were too small.
"Specially grandma's!"
A company commander cursed.
It is customary to organize a death squad and use explosives to solve the problem.
But in the end it was rejected by Ding Wei.
Don't be reckless.
There are many Japanese bunkers. How many can be blown up by the death squads?
Originally, there were not many veterans in Yanbei detachment and Wutaishan detachment. The death squads could only be made by veterans. If they were all sacrificed, the troops would be greatly weakened.
"boom!"
"boom!"
Field artillery bombardment continued.
But I never hit it. No matter how I aimed, I couldn't aim accurately.
Because the distance is relatively far.
The Japanese invaders also had infantry artillery and mortars.
"boom!"
"boom!"
The Japanese infantry artillery and mortars were also counterattacking.
Therefore, it is impossible to push the field artillery too close. The distance is at least two thousand meters. Obviously, this is very unfavorable for direct aiming.
In the end, in order to avoid wasting artillery shells, we had to order a temporary halt to the attack.
The Japanese invaders also stopped shooting.
As a result, the battlefield became eerily silent.
Gentake Doi's confidence has regained some of his confidence.
As expected, the bunker is very useful.
Immediately ordered to continue the construction while fighting.
The remaining Japanese invaders did not dare to neglect, and dug underground fortifications day and night. They actually built many bunkers.
All bunkers are also connected with underground tunnels.
Even if there is heavy artillery fire on the surface, the Japanese troops in the underground tunnels can still pass through unimpeded.
Not only can we provide timely support, but there are basically no casualties.
As a result, the Eighth Route Army's attack became more difficult.
Several attempts were made to attack, but they were all beaten back.
"Zhang Chu, is there any way?"
Ding Wei turned to ask Zhang Chu.
Zhang Chu shook his head.
Unfortunately, he doesn't have enough options either.
Before the invention of the bazooka, the bunker was always a very annoying existence. It was indeed not easy to deal with.
However, the bazooka has not been invented yet and cannot be upgraded.
If you want to upgrade in advance, you must pay research fees. The first phase is 10 million. The subsequent period is no less than 50 million.
Money is one aspect of the problem.
Time is another aspect of the issue.
Even paying the 60 million will require six months of research.
In other words, it will take six months at the earliest before the rocket launcher can be upgraded. Obviously, it will not be able to keep up with the current war.
"Ding!"
"High-value recycling items have been repaired..."
"Please pay attention to check..."
Suddenly, the system prompted.
Zhang Chu hurriedly clicked on the database.
Unexpectedly, we discovered that one of the Japanese invaders' Doudin tanks had been repaired.
Unfortunately, it's of no use...
"This recycle item can be upgraded!"
“There are four options for upgrading:
"First, the Soviet-made T-26 tank..."
"Second, the German-made Panzer III tank..."
"Third, German-made Panzer IV tank..."
"Fourth, French Renault R-40 infantry tank..."
The system continues to prompt.
Zhang Chu was immediately shaken and his blood surged.
