    Having almost mobilized the most elite forces of the 14th Division and the 20th Division, Kenji Doihara didn't want to get entangled here anymore.

    Xia Yang¡¯s fourth regiment, I know that your four regiments have strong combat effectiveness.  But no matter how strong you are, can you withstand an attack from a force twenty times your size?

    Ichiro Banishi looked at the densely packed Japanese soldiers with his binoculars. There were soldiers from the 5th Regiment and the 59th Regiment, as well as several other regiments sent to attack Manchu City.

    In addition, outside the South City Gate, the troops of two regiments have also completed their assembly and will launch an attack on the South City Gate at the same time.

    This time they had strong soldiers and horses, and Banxi Yiliang didn't believe that Xia Yang could still withstand their attack.

    Doihara Kenji was by his side. Because they were afraid of the long-range sniper rifles in Xia Yang's hands, they were observing the situation outside Mancheng.

    "Your Excellency, Division Commander, we will definitely be able to capture Mancheng this time." Banishi Yiyang said.

    Doihara Kenji nodded and said: "At most one day, I think today at noon" But he felt that this might be a little underestimated of Xia Yang, so he changed his words, "No, I think we should be able to do it this afternoon."  From the west gate of the city, you can see the scenery of the Taihang Mountains to the west."

    Banxi Yiliang said: "Your Excellency, the division commander, is right."

    Doihara Kenji said: "Okay, attack!"

    His order was quickly conveyed to the attacking troops in the front by semaphores. Those troops who were originally stationary suddenly turned into a surging tide at this time.  Start moving forward a little bit.

    Orders are conveyed to the combat troops at the front through various methods such as slogans and flags.

    On the Japanese mortar position, rows of mortars and mountain artillery were lined up. There were Taisho 11-type direct-firing infantry cannons, 92-type infantry cannons, and newly equipped Type 97 mortars.  Looking at the past, it is simply a collection of various series of mortars of the Japanese army.  There are dozens of doors in total.

    And these are not counting the troops fighting at the South City Gate.  If the mortars of the troops fighting at the South City Gate are also included, they had at least hundreds of mortars and various infantry guns participating in this battle.

    As for the howitzers and various field artillery that had been bombed all night, let alone them.

    A soldier holding a flag high loudly reported the coordinates of the bombing.  The artillerymen began to actively adjust the firing angle of the mortars to ensure that they could destroy the defensive positions of the fourth regiment to the greatest extent.

    The flags were chopped down one by one, and seventy or eighty mortars opened fire at the same time, covering Blocks 2 and 3 in the blink of an eye.

    After a round of artillery bombardment, the Japanese army roared "Onboard!!" and rushed towards the No. 23 blocks in the city.

    As soon as the artillery bombardment here ended, Xia Yang's soldiers rushed out of the air raid shelter and entered the position.

    But the so-called position can no longer be called a position.

    Last night, Japanese artillery fire continued all night, and this morning dozens of mortars came to bombard us as a greeting gift.

    Under this high-intensity bombing, the streets in the city, which were originally in ruins, turned into pieces of broken bricks and tiles.

    "Yu Mo, you guard the south gate. The Japs have a lot of armored vehicles and tanks. Without you, they will definitely not be able to hold the south gate." Xia Yang said on the intercom.

    Song Yumo¡¯s answer was simple and hasty.

    "clear."

    After more than a month of training and repeated battles on the battlefield, Song Yumo has grown into a unique sniper.

    So Xia Yang felt relieved when Song Yumo said this.

    After making arrangements with Song Yumo, Xia Yang concentrated on aiming the sniper rifle in his hand at the Japanese armored vehicles slowly approaching outside the North City Gate.

    "Are the anti-tank mines ready?" Xia Yang asked on the intercom.

    Hu San nodded and said: "Don't worry, the intersections have been set up. As long as the tanks of the Japs dare to drive into our position, they will not be able to come back."

    Xia Yang said: "That's good. I'll be responsible for suppressing their mortar positions, and I'll leave the tanks and armored vehicles to you."

    Hu San said confidently: "Tuanzuo, just take a look. With the anti-tank mines you prepared, it will be much easier to deal with the little devil's iron bastard."

    After saying this, he entered the position.

    Last nightAt this time, Xia Yang sent them a large number of anti-tank mines.

    These anti-tank mines cost Xia Yang 50,000 merit points, which can be said to be very valuable.  After all, anti-tank mines are different from anti-infantry mines. This thing doesn't explode people, it explodes tanks.

    The triggering weight of anti-tank mines is greater. If ordinary infantry steps on them, the mines will not detonate at all.  But if a tank weighing more than ten tons presses on it, it can be triggered.

    In the absence of weapons such as flat-firing cannons at the time, apart from Xia Yang's anti-material sniper rifles, the only ones that could effectively deal with tanks were these anti-tank infantry mines.

    In fact, Xia Yang really wants to buy those RPG rocket launchers. The surface armor of these Japanese tanks is as thin as dumpling wrappers. Using the most common RPG rocket launchers can cause fatal blows to them.

    But now Xia Yang cannot purchase the second level reward and can only use a slightly clumsy weapon like anti-infantry mine.

    The Japanese tanks moved forward, while the soldiers carefully hid behind the tanks.  The tanks of these little devils are very cautious. If they find the slightest disturbance in those buildings, they will shoot them without hesitation.

    Hu San and the others had also expected this situation. To be precise, Xia Yang told them not to try to hide in those buildings, thinking that they could avoid the bombardment of tanks.

    Those tanks may not have noticed the people hiding in the building, but as long as they think there is someone there, they will not hesitate to fire a shell.

    The Japanese Type 97 tank's artillery is not very powerful, but it can blow a big hole out of a building or clear out the people inside without any problems.

    Hu San was in a hidden corner in the distance, looking at the little devil's tanks and the bombardment of building after building, and was so frightened that he broke into a cold sweat.

    "Company Commander, what the commander said is true. This little devil really doesn't care about artillery shells. He will just bombard a house with artillery shells when he sees it." Lu Zihao said to Hu San next to him.

    Hu San nodded and said: "Fortunately, the regiment reminded us, otherwise we had set up positions there before and planned to use them to hold on to those buildings, which would have been courting death." (Remember the website address: www.hlnovel.com
