Chapter 423 Surprise attack on Heyuan County!
"Wang Chengzhu, immediately lead the artillery to set up the cannon and aim at the city wall!"

At the headquarters, Li Yunlong raised his binoculars to observe the city wall for a while, then loudly gave Wang Chengzhu an order.

The troops completed the siege of Heyuan County at an extremely fast speed.

However, the troops did not attack immediately, but waited for the artillery to mount the guns.

Although the target of the attack this time is only the county seat, it is a county seat after all, with high walls and thick walls, which cannot be compared with gun towers and strongholds.

If there is no cannon to blast the city wall, and the death squads are used to bombard the city wall with explosives, I don't know how many soldiers will be sacrificed.

"Yes!" Wang Chengzhu responded loudly.

Then he shouted loudly: "Pull the cannons to the front, move fast!"

A flat land about 800 meters away from the west city wall of Heyuan County.

"Put all the cannons here, move fast!"

Wang Chengzhu pointed at the flat ground and roared in a rough voice.

In the direction of the city wall, the devils and puppet troops jumped up and down, obviously preparing for battle, but Wang Chengzhu and his artillery turned a deaf ear to them.

Behind Wang Chengzhu, the artillerymen led the horses or mules to drag the cannon to the designated position and began to build the artillery position.

Since the cannon is directly dragged by mules and horses, the time for assembly is greatly saved.

Under Wang Chengzhu's order, the artillerymen built a position with the cannons at the designated positions, and there were militiamen or civilians behind them, who successively carried the cannonballs to a position five meters away from the artillery positions and put them down.

不到5分钟，12门75毫米山炮和12门105毫米榴弹炮均已架好。

The gunners of each artillery position reported one after another.

This time Li Yunlong did not use the 150mm heavy artillery.

In a county town, Li Yunlong does not need to use strategic weapons. A 105mm howitzer and a 75mm mountain gun are enough.

"Aim at the city wall below the tower!"

Wang Chengzhu's voice was as loud as a bell, and he gave orders loudly.

"Kakaka…"

As soon as the voice fell, there was a burst of rhythmic cradle rotation sound from each gun position, and as the gun barrels rose in a uniform manner, the muzzle pointed at the target.

The gunner squats behind the gun mount, puts his eyes close to the optical sight, and guides the barrel to point.

There have been many sieges, and the artillery has long been experienced.

Because it was night, there was no need to be afraid of the devils dispatching planes to bomb, so the guns were directly pulled to a distance of 800 meters from the city wall and fired directly.

In order to save shells and time, all the cannons were used as soon as they came up, aiming at a point on the city wall to shoot.

The searchlights strafing around the city tower provided a good shelling view for each artillery position.

"Aim complete!"

"Aim complete!"

"..."

The gunners reported loudly.

At that moment, Wang Chengzhu picked up the low-power walkie-talkie and called, "Call the headquarters, call the headquarters."

"This is the headquarters."

Soon, Li Yunlong's voice came from the walkie-talkie.

"Report to the regiment commander, the artillery is ready!"

Wang Chengzhu reported to Li Yunlong on the walkie-talkie.

"The action is quite fast." Li Yunlong said, "Let the mountain artillery fire first, and the Sword Squadron will need two rounds of artillery support from the Howitzer Battalion. Lu Yingjun will contact you with a high-power walkie-talkie."

"Yes!" Wang Chengzhu replied loudly.

He knew that the Sword Squadron was ambushing in the city right now, ready to behead the Devils Gendarmerie headquarters at any time.

The Devil's County Headquarters must be well-defended, especially in this situation, the devils are all soldiers, and they dare not slack off in the slightest, coupled with the strong fortifications of the Devil's Headquarters.

Even if everyone in the Sword Squadron is the king of soldiers, even if they bring in weapons and ammunition, it will be difficult to resolve the battle in a short time.

And once the devils come to their senses, the Sword Squadron might be surrounded instead.

However, from the beginning of the battle plan, Li Yunlong was not prepared to let the Sword Squadron foolishly attack the Devils Command in Heyuan County.

"All mountain cannons, fire immediately!"

Wang Chengzhu ordered loudly.

At the same time, the 12 mountain cannons roared almost simultaneously, and the shells escaped and shot towards the city wall 800 meters ahead.

boom boom boom…

Continuous violent explosions, accompanied by bursts of fireballs and gunpowder smoke, continuously shook the city wall, shattering a large area of ​​the outer wall, and the rubble of the city wall fell down.

In the first round, only the mountain cannon was firing. The first shot was not very accurate, the shells did not land at the same position, the main body of the city wall was still intact, and the city wall was not penetrated.

"continue!"

Wang Chengzhu just glanced at the city wall lightly, and ordered to continue the shelling.

At this moment, there was a buzzing sound from the high-power walkie-talkie, and the operator immediately picked it up.

After a while, the operator shouted to Wang Chengzhu: "Battalion Commander, it's Captain Lu of the Sword Squadron!"

Wang Chengzhu said: "Let Captain Lu tell you to shoot Zhuyuan!"

The operator immediately said:

"Hey, Captain Lu, please tell the shooting players immediately!"

"Ruler 260 a..."

Following the operator's loud report, Wang Chengzhu then dictated, and the howitzers next to him quickly shook the cradle to adjust the shooting.

"Howitzers fired one row at a time!"

As Wang Chengzhu's voice fell, a high-explosive grenade was stuffed into the barrel, and then the gunner suddenly pulled the matchlock.

The first test-fired 105mm high-explosive grenade came out of the barrel immediately, crossed an arc visible to the naked eye in the air, and smashed towards the city.

Ten seconds later, the voice of Lu Yingjun adjusting and shooting Zhu Yuan came from the high-power walkie-talkie.

Soon, the second test-fired high-explosive grenade was fired from the muzzle after being adjusted to shoot at various elements.

Not long after, Lu Yingjun's guiding words of shooting the whole battalion came from the high-power walkie-talkie.

Twelve 12mm howitzers immediately fired two rounds of shelling into the city according to Lu Yingjun Chuanda's command.

After two rounds of bombardment, all 105mm howitzers, under the order of Wang Chengzhu, began to bombard the city wall.

Amid the continuous rapid explosions, the west city wall of Heyuan County was crumbling, and the deafening explosions spread several kilometers away.

……

in the city.

The Devils Command almost turned into a sea of ​​flames in the sudden shelling.

The Devils Command received more than 20 105mm high-explosive grenades.

The house collapsed, the flames shot into the sky, screams, cries for help, and angry curses suddenly rang out.

Lu Yingjun stood sideways at the window of a certain building, staring at the Devil Command in the distance. Seeing that the shelling stopped, he jumped into the alley from the second floor and gave an order: "According to the original plan, the first team and the second team will attack the Devil Commander." The main entrance of the department, the third team and the fourth team guard the back door, and when they see the devils and puppet troops, they will fight, let's kill it tonight!"

"Kill it to your heart's content!"

The voices of all the team leaders and team members were full of murderous intent, and there was a sound of gun bolts being pulled in the air.

"open circuit!"

Lu Yingjun got into the Type [-] armored vehicle first, and sat in the shooting position.

Sitting in the shooting position at his height seemed very crowded, but in order to handle this 7.7mm heavy machine gun, Lu Yingjun had no choice but to aggrieve himself.

Type [-] armored vehicles and Type [-] trucks drove out of the alley towards the Devil Command.

On the street, some devils and puppet soldiers rushed to the devils headquarters with buckets, trying to put out the fire.

Lu Yingjun saw two rows of devils and puppet troops in front of him in the shooting hole.

The bright lights shone over, and the devils and puppet soldiers stood by the roadside, ready to give way.

He pressed the weight of the 7.7mm machine gun, and fired a long shot at the devils and puppet troops. The bullets swept towards the devils and puppet troops in a fan.

Da da da da da...

The unsuspecting devils and puppet troops suddenly fell down a large piece.

The team members in the car were not to be outdone, and raised their submachine guns to shoot at the devils and puppet soldiers who were chasing up from behind.

The team members kept changing their shooting methods, single shot, continuous shot, and burst fire. Amidst the dazzling sound of shooting, they almost hit the enemy with just raising their hands.

Soon within visibility, there was no longer a living devil and puppet army.

Armored vehicles and trucks led the way as if they were in no-man's land. They quickly ran from the alley to the gate of the Devil's headquarters, and killed at least dozens of devils and puppet troops on the way.

Two devils just rushed out from the devil's gate.

Lu Yingjun used the crane gun and fired three short bursts, da, da, da, and the two devils fell down.

Immediately afterwards, a few devils with [-] rifles rushed out from the devil headquarters, and they were beaten into a sieve in a short while.

The devil finally fought back. A devil's heavy machine gun mounted at the gate screamed wildly, and the steel plates of the [-] armored vehicle were jingled.

Lu Yingjun put on bullets and fired at the devil's machine gun, and the soldiers on the roof also opened fire with their submachine guns.

In the night, the tracer bullets were like a string of bolides scurrying back and forth, dazzling people's eyes.

On the roof of the car, Duan Peng set up a bazooka, aimed at the devil's point of fire and pulled the trigger.

call out!
There was a sharp whistling sound in the air, and at the same time, the orange-red tail flame streaked across the night sky, hitting the devil's firepower point directly.

boom!
The next moment, there was an explosion sounding like landslides and ground cracks, and the position built up by sandbags in front of the Devil Command's gate was blown up into the sky in an instant.

Lu Yingjun and his team members quickly jumped out of the car and headed towards the entrance of the Devil Command.

When they got close, a few grenades were thrown in, and the team members, led by Lu Yingjun, rushed into the devil's headquarters with only one charge.

After a wave of 105mm high-explosive artillery bombardment, there were heavy casualties in the Devil Command, and Hirata Ichiro was killed on the spot.

The Sword Squadron attacked from both sides, and soon occupied the Devils Command.

Not long after, the west city wall of Heyuan County was bombarded by a mountain artillery battalion and a howitzer battalion of the Eighth Route Army, and a big gap was blasted open.

Then, mortars and infantry artillery fired at the city wall intensively.

Taking advantage of the opportunity of shelling, the infantry quietly approached the city wall carrying the siege ladder.

But it was soon discovered by the devils and puppet soldiers on the city wall. The devils and puppet soldiers got out from behind the bunker, faced the artillery fire, and fired at the infantry of the new regiment with light and heavy machine guns.

As soon as the devil opened fire, the infantry of the new regiment crawled to hide.

Because in the rear, the machine guns of the new regiment are ready!
Accompanied by the sound of machine guns of "Tom tom tom...", the machine gunners who had already been ready aimed at the firepower of the devils and puppet army machine guns on the city wall.

Thirty dozen devils and puppet firepower points were caught off guard and destroyed by machine guns in an instant.

After the mountain artillery and howitzer bombardment, the mortar and infantry bombardment, the mortar and infantry bombardment, and the machine bombardment.

In the field of vision of the telescope, the firepower of more than thirty devils and puppet troops quickly fell silent.

Leader Li is very satisfied with the set of siege experience he summed up in the battle.
