    Otsuka Kikujiro was not the only one who was puzzled. Even many people in the 177th Division headquarters were dumbfounded and looked confused.

    When the news of the collapse of the city wall reached the headquarters, a major staff officer from the division headquarters asked in surprise: "Master, I have collected information about the Datong City Wall in advance. The city wall here is about 14 meters high and about 16 meters wide at its widest point."  Left and right. The city walls are all based on regular and well-organized stone strips, slabs, stone squares, stone pillars, etc. The walls are made of "Sanhe soil" rammed section by section and layer by layer, and are built with green bricks on the outside. They are very strong and can fully withstand heavy field artillery.  How could it collapse under the attack of the small mountain cannon? This is not in line with common sense. Could it be a scam?"

    As soon as he finished speaking, Zhang Tengjiao laughed loudly and said: "The city wall of Datong is indeed strong, but no matter how strong the city wall is, it cannot withstand the blast of hundreds of kilograms of explosives!"

    ¡°Hundreds of kilograms of explosives for blasting?¡±

    Seeing the confusion on the face of the combat staff, Zhang Tengjiao said with a smile: "Since the city wall has been broken, there is nothing to hide, and I can tell you!"

    Hearing that Zhang Tengjiao was about to talk about something useful, everyone in the headquarters pricked up their ears, waiting for something to be learned!

    "The main reason why we did not attack the frontal position and insisted on attacking the side wall is that there is a secret door left for us by the general on the wall."

    "Secret door?"

    "Yes, after they captured Datong City last time, they deliberately tampered with the north and south city walls! They hollowed out the rammed earth inside the city walls, then buried a large amount of explosives, and then sealed them with blue bricks  Kouzi.¡±

    Then Zhang Tengjiao continued: "Usually, there are blue bricks blocking the outside, and there is no difference at all. But once the green bricks are destroyed, the explosives inside will be exposed. After several shots, the green bricks were shattered.  , and then the explosives were detonated, and the wall naturally collapsed."

    Everyone was stunned when they heard this. They thought about various possibilities, including conspiracy theories, but they did not expect that these were actually arranged by Li Guoyao.

    At this time, Chief of Staff Zhang Hao said with emotion: "The last time the general attacked Datong, he realized that he might attack this important city again in the future, so he left such a secret door. Such far-reaching strategic vision is definitely not ours."  What can be compared, the name of the God of War is definitely not in vain!"

    "The little devil is in bad luck when he meets the boss. The real defense essence of Datong City is these city walls. Now that the city walls have collapsed, their overall defense circle is like a broken house with air leakage everywhere. A slight push will destroy it.  Come on, I think we can go into the city to rest at noon!" Deputy Division Commander Gao Hu said with a smile.

    Zhang Tengjiao looked at his watch and said, "There are still four hours until noon, that's enough!"

    He then said loudly: "Order the troops to attack with all their strength. After entering the city, first capture the two peripheral positions outside the north and south city gates, and then annihilate the enemy in street battles!"

    "yes!"

    Dividing line

    When the fighting was at its fiercest, a "buzzing" sound suddenly sounded in the sky outside Datong City. This was the sound of an aircraft engine.

    Immediately afterwards, more than 30 planes suddenly emerged from the clouds and swooped towards the national army below.

    "Boom" "Boom" "Boom"

    Heavy aerial bombs fell from the sky and landed on the foreign military positions in the city. Violent explosions resounded throughout Datong City.

    The sudden arrival of Japanese aviation gave the Japanese troops struggling to support the city wall a shot in the arm, halting the 177th Division's attack!

    Naturally, the 177th Division was no stranger to the Japanese aviation. The commander of a brigade commanding at the forward position immediately raised his binoculars to look at it, and then said: "The machine gun company of the guard camp is on the hillside over there, and I'll beat that son of a bitch."  !¡±

    "yes!"

    "Call the division headquarters and ask the air defense troops to come and help!" Lu Ding'an said again.

    "yes!"

    In fact, there was no need for Lu Dingan to call. After hearing the sound of the plane engine, Zhang Tengjiao and others knew that the plane was coming.

    Originally, a very important purpose of their operation last night was to seize the Japanese airport outside Datong City while the Japanese fighter planes were returning home at night.

    Not only did he want to destroy the Japanese fighter planes, but more importantly, Li Guoyao wanted a batch of combat aircraft, so the original order given to Zhang Tengjiao's men was to capture the fighter planes and all ground staff at the airport.

    But what they didn't expect was that when they attacked Wangzhuang Airport last night, there was no one there. Not only did all the fighter planes disappear, but even the ground staff were gone. Those fighter planes in the airport were either scrapped.  , or simply wood.? model.

    After further investigation, it was discovered that Zhang Tengjiao and others knew that the Japanese fighter planes were no longer here a few days ago and they were deceived.

    ¡°Obviously, the little devil also knew that this place was too close to the Jiujiu Army¡¯s defense area, and was worried that they would attack the airport, so he moved the fighter planes away.

    After hearing the sound of the aircraft engine, Zhang Tengjiao immediately ordered: "Order the air defense battalion to rush to the south gate immediately to join the battle to ensure the smooth progress of the siege!"

    "yes!"

    The air defense battalion has been following the headquarters, and the division headquarters is not far from the south gate of Datong. The distance of two or three kilometers is quickly reached. At this time, just fifteen minutes have passed since the Japanese fighter planes arrived on the battlefield.

    With the assistance of the aviation force, the Japanese army finally drove out the Chinese troops that broke into the city and were preparing to repair temporary fortifications at the gap in the city wall.

    Lu Ding'an's eyes were on fire when he saw this, and Shan Jiuren had fallen short. Just now he was about to build a bridgehead, but it was destroyed by several heavy Japanese aerial bombs.

    "Mortars, hit me hard, suppress the machine guns, and let the regiments and battalions charge for me again!"

    "yes!"

    Following Lu Ding'an's order, the mortar battalion not far from the headquarters opened fire immediately, with 8 mortars firing at the same time!

    ¡°Boom boom boom!!!¡±

    The shell dragged out its long tail and flew towards the gap in the city wall not far away, followed by a violent explosion.

    At the same time, the infantry in front bent down and rushed towards the gap!

    The Japanese air force in the sky had obviously discovered the artillery position of Lu Ding'an's headquarters. Several fighter planes immediately turned around and dived towards the artillery position.

    The moment the fighter plane passed overhead, a series of aerial bombs fell from the sky!

    ¡°Boom boom boom!!!¡±

    "Compared to artillery shells, the power of these aerial bombs is even more terrifying. The weight of a mountain artillery shell is only about 4 kilograms, and the amount of ammunition is even less.

    But even the smallest 50-pound aerial bomb weighs about 25 kilograms, and the high explosives inside are more than ten kilograms. The power of such a giant explosive bag-like thing exploding next to you is quite terrifying.

    The violent air wave blew up a mortar on the artillery position directly. The gunner thought it was dead, and even several artillery shells nearby detonated, making an even more terrifying explosion.

    In just one round of bombing, four guns of a mortar battalion of the first brigade were blown up, and a dozen experienced gunners were also killed.

    And because the artillery position was not far from the temporary command post of the first brigade, it was also exposed and hit by an aerial bomb.

    Fortunately, the command post of the 1st brigade was built in an underground trench, covered with sleepers, soil and gravel, and the aerial bomb did not hit the command post head-on, so Lu Ding'an and others were shaken to the core, and there were no casualties.  .

    But the few guards outside the command post were not as lucky as you. After the explosion, everyone came out to take a look and found that three of the six guards were dead, one was seriously injured, and the other two were slightly injured.

    Just as Lu Dingan was angry, the division's air defense battalion finally arrived on the battlefield!  (Remember the website address: www.hlnovel.com
