According to normal procedures, the infantry began to move before the shelling was over.

However, this time there was a small change. After the artillery bombardment was over for a while, the Japanese infantry who had been waiting had received the order and attacked... Although this was a little unreasonable, in the hearts of the arrogant Japanese, this delay would be delayed, and it was no big deal. Under the invincible iron hoof of the Japanese Imperial Army, all enemies would be crushed, and at most a few more people would be killed.

In fact, the main reason for delaying a short while is that the highest commander on the right of the Japanese devils suddenly realized that the bombardment just now did not find an enemy, which was obviously unreasonable.

Then, the infantry had to line up to attack.

Once the infantry is deployed, mountain cannons are not suitable for shelling again, so twenty small steel cannons will appear.

"Boom! Boom! Boom..."

A strange scene appeared: the shells were blown up on the city wall for free, and the Japanese also charged quickly. However, not only did there be no enemy on the city wall, but there was not even a gun. This caused the entire battlefield of the South City Gate, only the sound of shells and cannons exploded, but even a gunshot could not be heard.

The more strange the scene, the more suspicious it will make people feel, and the pressure will naturally become more and more heavy.

Especially the group of Japanese devils in front were the most sensitive to this silent pressure: at the beginning, in order to prevent the enemy fire from firing on the city wall, they wanted to take advantage of the guns on the city wall before they could fire. However, as they got closer and closer, not only could they not even see the figures on the city wall, and even the gunshots did not even sound, which made Japanese devils start to worry.

This worry is naturally slower and slower.

In the end, the Japanese held guns and aimed at the city wall, almost like thunder detection, with every step of caution, and no matter how strong the charge or the siege was.

Because of the reminder from his subordinates, at this time, the Japanese commander standing in the forest behind naturally noticed that before, the hillside hit a point and did not directly bombard the walls. Therefore, it was normal that there was no blown human body or spilled blood. However, now, most of the small steel cannon shells have fallen on the city wall, but there was still no blown corpse or spilled blood, which was absolutely abnormal.

It's like one side is striving to attack the city, but the other side defending the city is like giving up resisting, letting you attack the city without showing up.

That made the Japanese Supreme Commander unable to help but have a question in his mind: Is the previous report on the plane reconnaissance wrong? The assault regiment is playing an empty city plan with us? Otherwise, it is really unreasonable! Even if you want to engage in street battles, there is no reason to actively give up the defense of the city wall. You must know that the defense of the city wall can definitely cause a huge casualty rate to the siege side, which is not much worse than street battles, and the casualty rate of its own is definitely far smaller than street battles. Therefore, since the freely recorded history of war, I have never heard of any battles that the city defender voluntarily gave up the defense of the city wall.

After denying this issue, the highest commander of the Japanese right army thought for a moment and immediately ordered: Increase the intensity of artillery attacks.

So, ten more small steel cannons were adjusted up, increasing the density and intensity of shelling at the South City Gate, and even the range of regular spreading shelling.

As a result, several wall battlements were blown away, and the sandbag fortifications behind could be seen with the naked eye, but no one was seen or a gun. It was like everyone was attacking an abandoned empty city, worried about fraud and hoped that their dreams would come true.

At this time, if the Japanese could look down from the air, they would definitely find that behind the southern city wall, they had been transformed, had changed a lot: behind the south city gate, there was a shed about seven meters wide, about twenty-five meters long and about two meters high, not! To be precise, it was a fortification anti-cannon area. Because the wood there was all taken from the city gate building that had been demolished, even the top was directly covered with a cover of seventy to eighty centimeters thick, a layer of wood, covered with gravel and soil, and a layer of wood was covered with wood.

, In this way, three layers were covered. Even if the mountain cannons could not be prevented, if the mountain cannon shells exploded, they would never be able to explode the people hiding below. At most, they would just blow up some covers, let alone the much less powerful small steel cannon shells, which could definitely be protected... The parabolic trajectory of the mountain cannon shells is not as obvious as the small steel cannon shells, and there is no such arc. Therefore, generally speaking, even if the Japanese want to use mountain cannon shells to explode here, they must first blow up the city wall, otherwise they will never blow it up here directly.

In other words, such sheds are absolutely safe.

There are three such sheds. The shed on the right is a hundred meters away from the middle shed, while the shed on the left is a distance of more than sixty meters from the shed in the middle. Moreover, they are all built on the edge of the staircase that can reach the city wall.

Especially the one in the middle is built directly under the city tower, and a simple staircase is built with wood and wooden boards, which can be directly up to the flat ground of the city tower... The reason why it is built here is not only because it is the center point of the south city gate, but more importantly, Liu Bing used psychological tactics: anyone who sees the city gate tower being demolished will subconsciously think that there is no one on it and will not hide people.

In fact, there are two soldiers left as observers at any distance, and no one else is left, and even a weapon is not placed on the city wall. Of course, fortifications that have been laid long ago, such as sandbags, are naturally erected in advance. However, in each of these three sheds, there is a company hidden in each shed... and there is also a company as a mobile force, which is almost a reserve. When the battle on that section of the city wall is intensified, it will reinforce it.

In this way, it can be guaranteed that not only can the losses be minimized, but also, once the Japanese rushed to a certain distance under the city wall - generally within twenty meters, this will make the opponent's artillery afraid of blowing and injuring their own people, and can pull the Japanese closer to the maximum extent and facilitate accurate shooting. You can quickly rush up to the city wall, absolutely faster than the opponent, and then you can beat the Japanese hard.

From this we can see that Liu Bing has really learned a lot of Yin people from Zhang Qingshan. You must know that if Liu Bing brought a battalion to defend such a city wall in the past, he would definitely fight head-on. Even if the Japanese artillery fire covered artillery, he would definitely lead people to the city wall in person and would never take a step back. Although this kind of fighting style is bold and tough, the casualty rate will be over. The Japanese will never mind using more shells to kill more enemies.

The biggest advantage of such Yin people's methods is that they can bring the Japanese the greatest blow to the smallest casualties. The more important thing is that they can avoid cannons without having to sacrifice in vain.

So, just as the Japanese artillery fire was still hitting the city wall and the Japanese infantry were only about twenty meters away from the city wall, they saw the observer wavering, and Liu Bing, who was standing in front of the shed in the middle, immediately waved forward.

Hidden in three sheds, each company immediately took action.

The sheds on both sides rushed directly to the stairs beside the shed, like faucets. The soldiers in the shed in the middle rushed up the stairs made of wooden boards on the wall... After rushing to the city wall, the soldiers all bent down and lowered their heads according to the prior orders, trying not to expose themselves.

Then, they gathered behind a small section of city walls in units of squads and hid. Not to mention that the ammunition boxes and other things were just placed next to them, even heavy weapons such as machine guns were not directly mounted on the wall, but were just placed behind the wall.

Everyone seemed to be waiting for something.

Then, as the company commanders raised their right hands, each soldier pulled out a * from his waist, twisted the lid quickly, and pulled the * without hesitation.

However, each soldier did not throw * down, but looked at his respective company commanders at the same time.

Until about a second later, the company commanders waved their hands down almost at the same time.

The soldiers immediately turned around, not even looking at which Japanese devils were the most below, but threw * out as much as possible.

After throwing it, I immediately quickly pulled out another *, then pulled it out, and immediately threw it directly to the five or six meters below.

Then, everyone raised their guns, used the wall stacks as cover, and shot wildly at the Japanese below.

"Boom! Boom! Boom..."

The concentrated explosion sound is definitely no less than the explosion of the 20 small steel cannons of the Japanese before. Moreover, because there are hundreds of them, they almost all explode in one second, and this power even surpasses the power of the Japanese mountain cannons.

The first round of * is really not to blow up more Japanese devils. The main purpose is to break the continuity between Japanese devils behind and Japanese devils in front, so that everyone can concentrate their firepower to eliminate Japanese devils within twenty meters in front of the city wall.

The second batch of * is still directly outside the city wall five or six meters, so it is naturally to give the Japanese a maximum damage to the Japanese who entered within twenty meters.

I dare not say anything else about this kind of tactic in the defense of the city wall, but it is definitely the first in the assault regiment. At the same time, it can be seen that Liu Bing, a proud sunny man, was really damaged by someone in just half a year. He is cunning enough, and he is also experienced enough to understand people's hearts.

The Japanese were approaching with fear, and the closer they approached the city wall, the more frightened they were in their hearts, and their vigilance was the highest.

When they saw hundreds of * suddenly thrown down from the city wall, they saw the sickle of the god of death, and their faces turned pale as paper. The big mouths of each mouth could definitely stuff a duck egg into it, but no one could make any noise. However, the Japanese were well-trained soldiers, and although they were so scared that they were almost wet their pants, they were still driven by instinct and hugged their heads and waited for the explosions they imagined.

There were some Japanese devils who fell at their feet as soon as they saw *. They were completely shocked. They actually opened their eyes wide and opened their mouths wide, and looked at * at their feet in fear.
