Sure enough, as the shells continued to fall, sections of the city wall began to collapse.
The Japanese commanders knew they could not retreat. Amidst the rumbling sound of artillery, they still used the spirit of bushido to encourage these soldiers, trying to reduce their fear in this way.
But what I have to say is that this kind of brainwashing propaganda is still very useful for these soldiers whose bushido spirit is deeply engraved in their minds.
Finally, after an unknown amount of time, the intensive artillery bombardment by the howitzer regiment finally ended.
Those Japanese soldiers climbed up from the ruins, and then, led by the commander, rushed towards the damaged city wall.
They climbed onto the city wall, and through the gunpowder smoke that had not completely dissipated, they saw the torrent of steel advanced by the enemy in the distance.
The scene was really shocking. Hundreds of tanks and armored vehicles, covering thousands of soldiers, were walking on a front that was several kilometers wide.
In addition to these armored vehicles and tanks, there are also many combat vehicles converted from trucks. Various fire support weapons are installed on the carriage of the tank.
The commanders who command the front battle sit on the main tanks or armored vehicles. The large number of soldiers behind them were hidden behind these steel behemoths.
The loud noises of various engines and the sound of advancing tank tracks mixed together, like a shocking symphony, echoing across the land.
They were the first to attack the North City Gate. Although other city gates were also attacked, they were more of a feint attack to contain the Japanese troops in the city.
Okamura Neiji was at a high place, looking at the enemy's advancing troops with a telescope, and ordered loudly: "Start shooting."
With his order, the Japanese army's firepower on the damaged city wall began to roar.
Almost at the same time, the counterattacks of the Fourth Army and the Eighth Route Army arrived in an instant.
The Japanese army arranged a large number of light and heavy machine guns and mortars on the city wall, and even field artillery and mountain artillery were moved to the city wall.
After all, the city wall here is spacious enough for them to put these weapons on it.
However, compared to the firepower of the Japanese army, the counterattack firepower of Xia Yang's troops was obviously more fierce.
Dozens of rocket nest launch systems, hundreds of mortars with a longer range than the Japanese army, and various types of light and heavy machine guns, such as Gatling heavy machine guns with extremely fierce firepower.
At the first possible moment, they directed their firepower to the Japanese troops on top of the city.
Their firepower is not only fierce enough, but also more precise than the Japanese army.
The Japanese troops on the city wall suffered heavy casualties under the first round of firepower.
The Japanese reserve team behind the city wall immediately rushed forward, transported the corpses and wounded down, and then filled the gap.
The firepower of the Japanese army fell on the combined forces of the Fourth Army and the Eighth Route Army.
A large number of bullets fell on the hard armor of armored vehicles and tanks, leaving behind a string of dazzling sparks, but they were unable to cause any harm to these behemoths.
"Mortars, bombard the enemy's infantry in the rear, do not attack those tanks and armored vehicles."
The Japanese commanders also knew that their meager firepower would be difficult to cause much damage to enemy armored vehicles.
Only the field artillery on top of the city and some large-caliber heavy mortars can deal a certain amount of damage to these tanks and armored vehicles.
Under the densely intertwined firepower network, the condescending Japanese troops used machine guns and mortars to continuously cause damage to infantry and vehicles.
But this did not stop the Fourth Army and the Eighth Route Army from advancing. They were like a huge war machine, approaching the city wall where the Japanese troops were stationed in an unstoppable manner.
¡°Tank gun, fire!!¡±
With the order, the artillery on the tanks and armored vehicles began to rotate slowly, and then aimed at the city wall where the Japanese troops were stationed.
Hundreds of artillery pieces were aimed at the Japanese troops on the city wall at the same time.
Those Japanese soldiers shouted: "Enemy tanks, be careful to hide!!"
As soon as the words fell, the artillery on these tanks and armored vehicles began to roar.
¡°Boom boom!!! Boom boom!!!¡±
The loud noise extended from one end of the city wall to the other.
In ?Under the smoke of gunfire, the shells of the tank guns hit the city wall accurately.
Some Japanese soldiers who had no time to retreat were blown to pieces by tank guns and turned into pieces scattered on the city wall.
"Flamethrower!!"
As the tanks and armored vehicles approached the city wall, some tanks that had been modified into fire-breathing tanks or fire-breathing armored vehicles began to aim the flamethrower nozzles at the Japanese troops on the city wall.
The spray distance of these fire-breathing tanks and armored vehicles is further than that of flamethrowers carried by individual soldiers, and can often reach more than one hundred meters.
The Japanese army¡¯s position on the city wall soon entered the killing range of these fire-breathing tanks and armored vehicles.
Those Japanese troops had just endured a round of fierce bombardment by tank guns, and before they could recover, they saw the enemy's muzzles aimed at them again between the battlements.
Only this time, the muzzles looked much more slender.
Just when they were wondering what it was, fire dragons suddenly shot out from inside and swallowed up the Japanese troops on the wall.
"ah!!"
The screams of the Japanese soldiers immediately came from the city wall.
The Japanese troops on the city walls in that area were instantly engulfed in a sea of ??fire. Many Japanese soldiers were covered in flames and rolled crazily on the ground. Some couldn't see the direction clearly and jumped directly from the city wall.
"Fire cannons and bombard the city gate!!"
The forward commander directed the troops to advance in an orderly manner.
At this time, the flat-firing cannon installed on a truck had its muzzle pointed at the gate of Taiyuan City.
This flat-fire cannon has a large caliber. Xia Yang specially purchased it from the system in order to blast open the city gate in one go.
In addition to purchasing artillery, he also specifically purchased high-explosive bombs.
Under the cover of intensive firepower from other tanks and armored vehicles, the Japanese troops on the city wall were in dire straits and could not even raise their heads, let alone stop this flat-fire cannon.
The flat-fire cannon quickly adjusted the shooting angle and aimed the muzzle at the gate of Taiyuan City.
Behind the city gate, a large number of Japanese troops were waiting for the enemy to attack the city gate. What they didn't expect was that what they were about to wait for would be shells from flat-firing cannons.
"Launch!!"
After the aiming was completed, the artilleryman in charge decisively fired the shells.
That large-caliber cannonball flew out directly and hit the gate of Taiyuan City accurately. (Remember the website address: www.hlnovel.com - Didn't finish reading?
