I had long expected the purpose of shelling outside the city, so there were only two observers left on the southern wall of Sanqiao County. Most of the remaining ones were carrying sandbags to do ring fortifications, and a small number were waiting more than ten meters below the city wall... Once the Japanese artillery was over and the Japanese infantry began to attack, the soldiers had to immediately rush up to the city wall and continue to attack the Japanese infantry from top to bottom with artillery fire.

Combined with the circular fortifications behind the city wall, upper and lower attacks can be formed.

Of course, this is just an overly beautiful idea. Since the Japanese dare to attack, they will never be able to watch their infantry suffer such a big loss, and they will not be able to do anything about such a situation.

Sure enough!

As soon as the Japanese charged, the observer immediately sent a signal to Liu Bing. Liu Bing immediately sent a platoon to the city wall, preparing to take advantage of his height to give a wave of ruthless Japanese infantry charges.

However, although the Japanese artillery soldiers took a break for a while, their observers were obviously still closely observing the movements on the wall of the South City Gate.

As soon as he saw someone climbing the city wall, the Japanese observer immediately reported the situation to the artillery commander. Then, the artillery commander only observed for a few seconds and immediately ordered.

This time, it’s not just mountain cannons, but also twenty small steel cannons.

"Boom! Boom! Boom..."

The density of the shell and the amplitude of the explosion are proportional to the power!

The previous shelling had shaken the foundation of the explosion of this city wall. Now, although the Japanese artillery soldiers were afraid of accidentally hurting their comrades, they dared not aim the mountain cannon at the gap again, and could only aim the mountain cannon at the surroundings of this large gap. However, those twenty small steel cannons were not vegetarians.

Especially with the cooperation of mountain cannons, they complement each other and have even more amazing power.

"Boom! Boom! Boom..."

Mountain cannon shells cannot directly bombard the battlements of the city walls, but small steel cannons can be shot to the inside of the city walls using the principle of parabola.

For a moment, the entire city wall was full of explosions, and the sound of explosions was deafening. The two shells complemented each other and shaking the mountains, as if the entire city wall was about to be blown and collapsed.

"Don't stand up! Crawl to the stairs quickly. Quick! Quick! Quick..."

This is the experience of this platoon leader, or in other words, at this moment, this experience can save many lives.

Judging from the Japanese's attitude of throwing shells onto the city wall like a money-free bombardment, even if you don't understand it, it is really difficult for you to have a living person after hiding on the city wall as soon as possible. Therefore, you must run under the city wall as soon as possible to be safe, or to hide in the upper and lower secret passage dug out below the city tower to be relatively safe.

But the problem is that you can't stand up and run directly, because under this density of shells, even if you are not directly bombarded, you will most likely be hit by the stray shrapnel flying everywhere... Many people think that you can run before the shells arrive, which is absolutely safe, but the problem is that if time is close enough, this situation will not happen at all. You must know that the power of stray shrapnel will definitely not be less harmful than the damage caused by the impact of the air wave. Because when the air wave is hit, you will either die or live, or at least be more enjoyable. But when you are hit by stray shrapnel, you will have to die or die, which will make people even more uncomfortable.

At this time, crawling forward and hiding into a safe mouth as soon as possible is the most correct way.

Of course, being able to issue such orders in such a timely manner definitely reflects the rich combat experience of a commander and Cheng Zhuo's calm mentality... Such mentality and experience are definitely not something that can be learned in books, but are obtained after countless life and death tests. Otherwise, even if there is such knowledge in books, many people who have never been on the battlefield will be braver and not directly scared by such intensive shellings. This is the most normal reaction of a recruit.

The most important thing is that it takes great courage to issue retreat orders.

Because the order received by this platoon was to defend the city wall and cooperate with the attack of the Japanese infantry, the platoon leader understood that under such dense artillery fire, let alone blocking and defending, even if he survived, he had to thank his ancestors for his blessing. Therefore, in order to save vitality, he did not hesitate to violate the original order and issued the order to retreat. For soldiers, this absolutely requires great courage... Generally speaking, it is better to die than to retreat, either to sacrifice himself for a more important value, such as protecting the safe transfer of the people; or to retreat without retreat. However, if it is not at the point where he cannot retreat, then it would be a bit worthwhile if he cannot retreat.

In fact, all the officers and soldiers of the first battalion confirmed the old saying, "A soldier will be a bellow, and what kind of commander will bring out what kind of soldiers!"

Liu Bing was so proud that he was the battalion commander who was the role model. There was no need to say much about the personality of all the commanders and soldiers of the first battalion.

Therefore, when the Japanese mountain cannons and small steel cannon shells were shot at the same time, Liu Bing regretted and was heartbroken: What he regretted was that he never expected that the Japanese would be willing to put in such great strength. In order to cooperate with the infantry's attack, he threw shells on the city wall as if he was not rich. How crazy it was, how rich people could do such crazy things? So, Liu Bing regretted letting the platoon of soldiers go up to the city wall and letting them defend to the death. If he had known that the Japanese were so crazy to capture this section of the city wall, why would he have sent this platoon to the city wall? Wouldn't it be better to save this platoon and play a greater role in street fighting?

What makes Liu Bing feel heartbroken is the sacrifice of this platoon, which makes Liu Bing feel very unworthy... The so-called kindness is not in charge of the soldiers! As a commander, especially a proud commander, Liu Bing naturally understands when to avoid the fearless sacrifice of the soldiers, and when to fill in the warriors and his own lives without mercy. The key point is whether it is worth it.

Now, Liu Bing felt that the sacrifice of this platoon was not worth it, so he was both heartbroken and regretful.

However, soon he saw a group of soldiers coming out of the stairs below the city gate tower.

After careful counting, twenty-one complete ones, four were injured and helped down by their comrades.

One twenty-five people!

However, there are forty-one people in this rank!

In other words, just walking around like this did not play any role. Sixteen soldiers were sacrificed under the bombardment of the Japanese.

At this moment, Liu Bing's face looked ugly, and even turned pale a little. His fists were clenched tightly, and his body was trembling slightly.

It was not until these soldiers came to him and saluted him silently, and then stood quietly in front of him that Liu Bing slowly let go of his fists.

"Battery Commander, I did not execute the order. You should shoot me!"

Liu Bing looked at him, then looked at all the soldiers in the platoon, patted the platoon leader on the shoulder, and said, "Come on! He is locked up for three days. Three days later, he is the deputy company commander of the second company and the platoon leader of the platoon."

Everyone knew in their hearts that with Liu Bing's arrogance, being able to make such a seemingly contradictory order before his hands was equivalent to admitting his own mistakes. Therefore, the punishment for this platoon leader was because the military rules were placed there, and the platoon leader did disobey the military order. The promotion was also because the platoon leader was able to judge the situation, decisively violated the previous order, and saved the lives of most of the platoon soldiers. This was a great achievement.

From this point of view, Liu Bing obviously agrees with the platoon leader's approach... Of course, if you want to change the environment and change the task without such a dangerous thing, if you dare to learn from the platoon leader, then Liu Bing will definitely shoot you directly without hesitation, or even take it on his own. This is one of the characteristics of arrogance, and it is also the best explanation for soldiers to obey orders as their duty.

The Japanese bombardment continued, but the two observers kept passing the news to Liu Bing behind the city wall.

When the Japanese infantry were only a hundred meters away from the entrance of the city wall, Liu Bing and the others had already built all the temporary ring fortifications made of sandbags.

When the Japanese infantry were only fifty meters away from the entrance of the city wall, Liu Bing and the others had entered the ring fortifications or bunkers that they had set in advance.

When the Japanese infantry were only about twenty meters away from the entrance of the city wall, Liu Bing and the others were already on high alert. They were waiting for Liu Bing's order to fight with the Japanese, and let the Japanese taste the power of the first battalion of the assault regiment.

The closer the Japanese to the big hole in the city wall, the more excited they are, as if they have already won. Especially those Japanese who have already started climbing on the pile of gravels that are two meters high, almost feel that they are heroes and role models for everyone to follow. They will definitely be promoted after returning...

However, there is a saying that goes, “The greater the hope, the greater the disappointment!”

In the eyes of these Japanese devils who rushed in the front, they were basically sure to win the next step, and they would definitely shine their ancestors because they rushed into the city. However, when they excitedly climbed up the pile of gravel more than two meters high and saw the situation inside the city wall, a huge blow like five thunder thunder made them stunned.

So much so that these Japanese devils all looked at them in a daze, opening their mouths wide, as if they were going to shout something, but they never shouted a word.

What did they see?

My God! There are more than twenty ring fortifications in front of them. More importantly, the muzzles extended from these ring fortifications and the front faces they are facing are all aimed at this big gap. But the problem is that in the previous reconnaissance report, it is said that there are no fortifications built by the enemy in this area. So, how did the enemy do all this in front of them from nothing to something in just a short time? This is definitely a miracle!

This huge shock and sudden gap are particularly unacceptable, and it is inevitable to be hit... Of course, this is just a mental blow, or a morale blow.

However, the mental blows these Japanese were only sustained for up to one second, and then the physical blow came.

"beat!"
Chapter completed!
