    It was just dawn when a low sound of shelling suddenly broke the silence of the morning!

    "Boom boom boom"

    ??The sound of continuous artillery fire also completely kicked off the Ninth Army's second attack on Datong!

    The moment the cannon sounded, the atmosphere in the Datong garrison headquarters, which had been tense all night, became even more tense.

    Although Otsuka Kikujiro is very confident in the defenses of Datong City, it is the Chinese army that is attacking at the moment. As the defensive side, they still feel the pressure.

    Especially among the troops in the city, there are not many that are truly capable of fighting. Most of them are either garrison troops or new recruits. In addition, there are so many armed expatriates. If the city is really attacked by that person, the consequences will be disastrous.

    The most important thing is that an Imperial Army Lieutenant General has been captured in Datong City, and he, Otsuka Kikujiro, does not want to be the second person.

    Immediately, Otsuka Kikujiro immediately ordered the combat staff to sound the alarm, and all units immediately launched a counterattack.

    At the same time, Otsuka Kikujiro also sent a message to Zhangjiakou, ordering the aviation force that had transferred to Zhangjiakou Airport to immediately come to reinforce the operation.

    "Boom boom boom"

    "Da da da"

    The battle on the two frontal battlefields in the north and south began first. The Chinese army deployed a strengthened artillery battalion on each of the north and south lines. A total of 24 Type 92 infantry cannons and 12 Type 41 mountain cannons opened fire at the same time. The powerful firepower covered one round after another.  In front of the Japanese garrison position.

    What the Japanese garrison at the front couldn't understand was that the Chinese army only shelled the front line, but the infantry did not launch a charge, not even a tentative attack.

    But they soon discovered that it was not that the infantry of the Chinese army had not assembled, but that the direction of assembly was not from the front, but from the side.

    I saw two troops lined up neatly behind the South Gate forward position. There were about 2,000 people at the main position of the South Gate. Judging from the size, it should be a regiment. There was another troop gathering about one kilometer away from the regiment.  , there seems to be more troops.

    Half an hour after the bombardment, the Chinese army's artillery began to shift positions, while the infantry took up positions and prepared to attack.

    Just when the Japanese army thought that the Chinese army was preparing for a frontal charge, they found that the Chinese infantry regiment on the right facing the Datong City Wall took the lead in launching the charge.

    This situation once again shocked the Japanese army. They really couldn't understand what the Chinese army was going to do.

    Although there is no peripheral blocking position of the Imperial Army on the side, there is a moat passing by, and there are also garrison troops of the Japanese Imperial Army on the city wall. The dense machine guns are enough to tear all the Chinese troops that rush up to pieces.

    Datong. Japanese garrison headquarters!

    "Report, call from the front, support/that person's attack has begun!"

    Otsuka Kikujiro immediately asked: "How is the situation at the south gate?"

    As the main position of Datong City, Otsuka Kikujiro is most concerned about the situation at the south gate!

    "Reporting to your Excellency, Division Commander, the south gate position was shelled by the Z/N people, and the troops lost part of their strength. However, the Z/N people's infantry did not participate in the battle. They put the attack direction on the side wall."  Staff report.

    "Haha, stupid, that person should have seen that the frontal position of the imperial army was indestructible, so he was preparing to seek a breakthrough from the side. But the imperial army deployed a full brigade of troops on the side wall, with light and heavy machine guns alone  With more than fifty troops, we also doubled the water in the moat, making a side breakthrough impossible!" Otsuka Kikujiro said.

    "Your Excellency, the division commander, is wise. Once the enemy chooses to break through the side wall, the losses will be beyond imagination. That area will become a meat grinder for the enemy!"

    "Yo Xi, send the order, let the troops on the side wall hold steady and fight hard!"

    "Hai!"

    However, before the combat staff left, there was suddenly a violent sound of shaking the mountains from the south. Even from a distance of several kilometers, Otsuka Kikujiro and others in the garrison headquarters could feel the obvious vibration.

    Shaking his confused head, Otsuka Kikujiro shouted in shock: "What happened? Where was the ammunition storage point that exploded?"

    The combat staff immediately went out to check the situation, but within two minutes, the phone in the garrison headquarters rang.

    When the combat staff picked up the phone and asked a few questions, he said with a horrified face: "Your Excellency, the division commander the wall in the south of the city has collapsed"

    Otsuka Kikujiro was stunned for a moment, and then shouted: "Collapsed? How is this possible?"

    ?As he spoke, he went over and grabbed the phone and said, "Moxi Moxi, this is Otsuka Kikujiro. What happened on the frontier?"

    Then a slightly panicked voice came from the other side of the phone: "Your Excellency, Division Commander, your humble position is Sato Tomojiro, the commander-in-chief of the South Gate. A few minutes ago, the man/man conducted a brief shelling of the side wall, but just as the gunfire sounded  At the end, a violent explosion suddenly occurred in the direction of the city wall, like the sound of an ammunition depot exploding, and then a section of the city wall about ten meters wide collapsed!"

    "Nani, did that person use a large-caliber field heavy artillery?" Otsuka Kikujiro asked in horror.

    ¡°To bring down a majestic city wall like Datong City with just one round of shelling, the only thing that can be done is large-caliber field heavy artillery, such as a 150mm-caliber heavy cannon.

    "No, that person was using the Type 41 mountain cannon produced by the Empire for the shelling just now. I heard this very clearly!"

    "How is this possible? The caliber of the Type 41 mountain gun is only 75mm, and the power of the shells is not enough to destroy the city wall of Datong!" Otsuka Kikujiro said.

    "Your Excellency, Division Commander, I believe that the ammunition point stored by the defending troops under the city wall was detonated by that person's artillery fire, and then something like this happened!" Sato Chijiro said his guess.

    "Baga, is the commander of the city wall a pig? Why would he place the ammunition storage point under the city wall?"

    After being furious, Otsuka Kikujiro asked again: "What is the current situation of the city wall?"

    "That person was rushing up along the gap, but was repelled by the imperial army. The two sides are fighting for the gap!"

    "Baga, your department immediately dispatches a squadron of troops to reinforce the direction of the city wall"

    Before he finished speaking, he heard another violent explosion from the south. The huge explosion directly caused the eardrums of the two people who were talking to make a harsh roar, and even temporarily lost their hearing.

    After a while, Otsuka Kikujiro finally recovered!

    After being shocked, he immediately shouted: "Check quickly, where did this explosion sound come from?"

    Just after the order was given, such violent explosions came from outside again, one after another, endless!

    A few minutes later, the matter was finally found out, but Otsuka Kikujiro couldn't believe the result.

    According to the latest news from the front, multiple sections of the city wall on the north and south lines of Datong City collapsed due to shelling by the Chinese army. Six huge gaps appeared in the city wall. The largest section was a hundred meters long, and the smallest section was more than ten meters long.

    Not only were a large number of defenders on the city wall buried alive, but the collapsed city wall filled the moat. Now the Chinese army is swarming through these gaps.

    Although the defenders fought back tenaciously, they did not expect that the city wall would be blown down so easily, so they did not make corresponding preparations. Therefore, many Chinese troops soon invaded the city.

    ?? Otsuka Kikujiro was completely confused, and he became completely stupid. He had previously declared to the Legion Headquarters that Datong City was impregnable, and he could at least guarantee that it would not be captured by that person within 10 days.

    But it only took so long. It was only half an hour before the actual siege started. The city wall collapsed. This can no longer be described as a slap in the face!

    At this time, Otsuka Kikujiro finally remembered the warning telegram sent by the Army Commander yesterday. The Chinese army left Datong City without attacking but attacked the county towns below first. This is completely a sign of confidence.

    I scoffed at this before, but now it seems so ridiculous. The person supporting/is not only full of confidence, the other party is completely confident!

    It¡¯s just that Otsuka Kikujiro still doesn¡¯t understand how such a strong city wall can collapse immediately, and it¡¯s not made of mud. This makes him puzzled!  (Remember the website address: www.hlnovel.com
