Chapter 405 The Battle of the Trapped Beasts!

In Taiyuan City, the battle continued.

The devils rely on the inner city wall to fight trapped beasts.

Fireballs and gunpowder smoke rose from the cannons above and below the city.

Taking advantage of Zhao Gang's absence, Li Yunlong, who was watching the battle, felt his hands itch unbearably. He pushed away the machine gunner and fired at the city wall with an Oerlikon 20mm machine gun.

The machine guns fired so cunningly and ruthlessly that several sections of the crenels of the city wall were broken, and the devil's machine guns were suddenly misfired.

Soon, howitzers and mountain guns aimed and fired, blasting three gaps in the north wall of the inner city.

The attacking troops rushed up like a tide, and suddenly, dozens of devils' machine guns, which had been misfired by the machine guns, started screaming again.

Bullets rained down on the attacking troops of the Eighth Route Army, and the soldiers fell one by one.

More than 100 machine guns immediately fired at the fire point of the machine gun under the crenel on the city wall, and the fire line of more than 100 bullet chains extended towards the fire point of the Devil's machine gun.

However, this time the machine gun failed, and only a small part of the devil's machine gun firepower was destroyed.

Most of the machine gun fire points were still roaring, spewing out long tongues of flame, and the attacking troops retreated like a tide.

"Damn it, stop firing the cannons!"

Seeing this scene, Li Yunlong couldn't help cursing.

He knew that the rest were the elite of the devils.

At this point in the battle, although the defeat of the devils is a certainty, the devils are still dying.

"The devil must have installed steel plates and sandbags behind the crenel."

Mulu thought for a moment, and Li Yunlong quickly thought of the devil's way to deal with the cannon.

There is a bullet factory and a steel factory in Taiyuan City, but they have been captured by Xinyi regiment's troops.

Commander Li Datuan ordered loudly: "Pass me the order, mountain artillery, howitzers and Type [-] infantry guns, aim at the crenels of the city wall, and knock down all the crenels for labor and management."

"Yes!" A combat staff officer following Li Yunlong took a walkie-talkie and sent an order to the artillery unit.

Following Li Yunlong's order, the gunners at each gun position quickly raised the elevation angle of the guns and aimed at the crenels on the city wall.

"Boom, boom, boom!"

The gun positions fired freely, and the shells shot towards the crenels of the city wall, and there was an explosion like a landslide and an earth crack.

The devils on the tower are very thieves. When the infantry of the Eighth Route Army retreats, they should quickly change their shooting positions.

However, Li Yunlong's order was to knock down all the crenels, so that the devil's machine gun firepower would be invisible.

Soon, a shell hit the devil's firepower point at the crenel, and the thick steel plate, devil and heavy machine gun were blown up into the sky by the shell.

Although the inner city wall is far less long than the outer city wall, knocking down all the crenels of the inner city wall with shells will consume a lot of shells.

Of course, if the soldiers take their lives to pile up, they will definitely be able to take down the inner city wall and the inner city.

However, Li Yunlong was reluctant to take the lives of the soldiers. Anyway, the shells can be reimbursed, and the reimbursement will be as much as they are fired.

Following Li Yunlong's order, the artillerymen of the 1st, 2nd, and 3rd attack groups also raised their muzzles and began shelling the crenels.

Even if you shoot with a machine gun, you can still destroy the crenel.

But the efficiency is too low, and it is difficult for machine guns to penetrate steel plates and sandbags.

The use of mountain cannons and howitzers is very efficient. One shot can smash a section of the crenel, and it can also kill the steel plate machine gun behind the crenel.

Half an hour later, all the crenels of the inner city wall were knocked down.

Of course, the devils are not fools. Except for the first few shots, which destroyed the devils and machine guns, the devils hid in the caves holding their weapons.

However, the steel plate is too heavy for the devils to take it away.

This is Li Yunlong's purpose to make the devils have no defense against machine guns.

"kill!"

Under Li Yunlong's personal command and order, the attacking troops rushed forward again like a tide.

The devils got out of the hole where the soldiers were hiding, set up their machine guns and fired at the attacking troops.

At the same time as the Devil's machine gunner opened fire, the Eighth Route Army machine guns and machine guns under the city immediately aimed at the point of fire of the Devil's machine gun on the city wall and suppressed it.

Without steel plates and sandbags as guards, the Devil's machine gun firepower was quickly knocked out by machine guns.

Amid the overwhelming shouts of killing, the north gate of the inner city wall was breached first. Before the attacking troops at the north gate made a roundabout attack, the south gate of the inner city wall was also breached after a few landslides from the south gate of the inner city wall. Panicked, he quickly abandoned the inner city wall and shrank the defense, and the attacking troops rushed into the city shouting from the north and south.

at the same time.

The inner city of Taiyuan.

Shinozuka Yoshio ordered the soldiers to detonate the munitions warehouse hoarded in the inner city of Taiyuan.

Amidst a loud noise that shook mountains and mountains, a huge mushroom fireball rose from the inner city of Taiyuan. The fireball bloomed layer by layer like a flower of death, and finally turned into a huge cloud of mushroom smoke.

A huge shock wave was suddenly transmitted from the ground to the surroundings, and many people fell directly to the ground.

The citizens of TY who survived the war were frightened by this earth-shattering war landscape. The window panes were shattered by the strong sound waves, and poured on the ground with a clatter.

The houses were shaking, the beams and columns were creaking, as if they were about to collapse at any time, and people were temporarily deaf from the loud noise.

Li Yunlong, who has improved food and often trains with the Sword Squadron, has a strong physique. In the shock wave of the explosion, his feet seemed to be nailed to the ground, motionless.

He looked up towards the center of the inner city.

He knew that Yoshio Shinozuka, an old devil, must have ordered the munitions warehouse to be blown up.

Then the grain depot must not be spared. As expected, not long after, a huge cloud of smoke rose from the grain depot near the city wall on the other side.

"Son of a son of a bitch, Yoshio Shinozuka, an old devil, will take something with him when he dies."

Li Datuan immediately cursed.

With such a big commotion, Li Yunlong estimated that there are quite a few weapons and ammunition designated in the arms warehouse.

It's a pity that so many weapons and ammunition were blown up like this.

However, there is no way for weapons and ammunition to be blown up.

The devil's inner city was extremely defensive, and it was difficult for the Sword Squadron to infiltrate it. From the beginning of the street fighting, the gates of the inner city were tightly closed.

Li Yunlong wanted to send the Sword Squadron to pretend to be devils and enter the inner city ahead of time, but he had no chance.

As for the bullet factory and steel factory equipment, Yoshio Shinozuka did not order the Yoshino United to blow them up.

There are so many heavy and large machines and equipment, and tens of thousands of tons of raw materials, there is no way for Eighth Road to take them away in a short time.

When the reinforcements arrive, there is a chance to take back the steel factory and the bullet factory from Balu.

……

Intensive gunfire was approaching.

Shinozuka Yoshio in the inner city headquarters closed his eyes in despair.

As a warrior with superb sword skills, he is not afraid of death, and the Yamato people firmly believe in the theory of reincarnation.

Death is just the beginning of the next round of life, and there is nothing to be afraid of.

But what made him feel painful was that the imperial army of the Imperial Japanese Empire had not yet been commanded to completely conquer the ancient nation of China.

At this time, he thought of two ancient Chinese poems: "Death before leaving the army will make the hero burst into tears."

He died before completing the hegemony of unifying Asia for the Great Japanese Empire and His Majesty the Emperor.

Aspirations unpaid, death will not rest in peace.

Although he is about to be ordered to retire, Yoshio Shinozuka still hopes to make a comeback one day.

But now there is no such opportunity.

What made Yoshio Shinozuka even more unacceptable was that he was actually defeated by the army of beggars who he had always looked down upon.

Li Yunlong fought like a lunatic, with the main attack in all four directions, no feint, and no chance to break through.

"Report to the general, according to your order, the munitions warehouse and grain depot have been destroyed!"

Kasai Toshimatsu walked in hurriedly, and nodded to Shinozuka Yoshio who was in a daze.

Shinozuka Yoshio said: "Kasai-kun, I will give you one last order to send a farewell telegram to General Tada Hayao, commander of the North China Front Army!"

The desperate expression on Kasai Toshimatsu's face disappeared for a moment, then he held the folder, made a gesture of recording, bowed his head and said, "Your Excellency, please tell me!"

Shinozuka Yoshio said: "The imperial army defending the city of Taiyuan fought fiercely with the Eight Route Army for two days and two nights, but the reinforcements never arrived. The Eight Route Route's offensive is fierce and has reached the inner city. It is approaching the headquarters of the First Army. The headquarters of our First Army will Fight to the last man, all members will be broken, and the Empire of Japan will surely win!"

"Send this telegram, and then destroy all communication equipment and data!"

The First Army has a lot of undisclosed and shady information that must not fall into the hands of the Eighth Route Army.

"Hi!" Kasai Toshimatsu stood at attention, then lowered his head heavily, turned and walked towards the communication room next door.

……

After fighting fiercely in the middle of the night, the Eighth Route Army has occupied most of the inner city of Taiyuan.

The remnants of the enemy defenders occupy a brick building in the center of the inner city.

This was the headquarters of the Japanese First Army, and it was completely surrounded by various attacking forces.

"Commander-in-chief, the remnants of the devils relied on the buildings of the headquarters to build machine gun firepower to fight trapped beasts, forming a dense fire net. The attacking troops were frustrated in several attacks and suffered a lot of casualties."

Li Yunlong came to observe closely, and Xu Yonghai, the commander of the third battalion, reported the battle situation to Li Yunlong.

Li Yunlong raised his binoculars and glanced at the Devil Command.

He dreamed countless nights that he wanted to break into the headquarters of the Japanese First Army and cut off the head of that old devil named Shinozuka Yoshio.

Unexpectedly, now this dream has finally come true.

His slogan is to break into Taiyuan and capture Yoshio Shinozuka alive, just to wait for Yoshio Shinozuka to be captured alive, and then Li Yunlong will give Yoshio Shinozuka a knife.

The two had a knife fight, and he wanted to cut off the head of that evil old devil with his own hands.

Li Yunlong shouted loudly: "Where's the artillery? Pull up the cannon for me, mother, I want to see how many times this broken brick house can withstand my howitzer, shoot it for me!"

"Commander, the cannon is coming!"

Li Yunlong turned his head and looked, Wang Chengzhu commanded the artillery under his hand, and brought in a 105 howitzer with two horses.

The cannons didn't come in before because the devils blocked the city gate with a lot of sandbags, and neither the artillery nor the cannons could get in.

"Zhuzi, hurry up and fire!"

Li Yunlong roared loudly, he couldn't wait to cut off Yoshio Shinozuka's head.
