Zhang Hu had just arrived at Wen City with his men when the first wave of the Japanese's attack was repelled.
Zhang Hu stood in the bunker and looked down. The Japanese had left at least 200 corpses behind, and the defense of Wen City was fine.
"Guard well. If the Japanese come, just shoot them.”"We have an iron wall here. They're dreaming if they want to use infantry to break in." Zhang Hu said confidently.”
Outside the city, Little Tachibana and Kawashima were as anxious as ants on a hot pan.
So many of his subordinates had died, but they did not even get close to the county city. This was enough to prove how strong the defense of this county city was.
"Baka, we can't let this go.”" Kawashima," Little Tachinan shouted aggressively," the Chinese are hiding in the city and won't come out. We can send out all our artillery to bombard them." Not only the field artillery, but also our mortars.”
Kawashima nodded in agreement. Although they did not have many cannons, the two regiments still had more than 60 mortars.
With such a powerful firepower combined, they believed that they could blow up the defenses of Wen City into ruins.
The two generals gave the order at the same time, and the fourteen field cannons immediately opened fire. The shells whistled as they bombarded Wen City.
Taking advantage of the cover of the artillery, the Japanese mortars carried the mortars and artillery shells and advanced towards Wen City.
When they were about 200 meters away from Wen City, they immediately stopped. This position was the best place to bombard, allowing the artillery shells to be used to the greatest effect.
The artillery started to set up mortars, while the infantrymen who followed them started to dig simple fortifications. At least they could block some bullets and protect the artillery.
"Fire!"
Following the shout of a Japanese officer, a series of mortar shells were fired at the fortifications in Wencheng.
"Boom! Boom! Boom!"
"Bang bang bang"
The defense of Wen City was filled with explosions. Every time the shells fell, a large amount of soil and stone fragments would fly. It was a spectacular sight from afar.
Assistant Colonel Linan stroked his chin in satisfaction.""Yo, the Chinese people think that we can't do anything if they hide in the fortifications. They should be regretting it now. These fortifications had all become graves.”
" It's been ten minutes." Colonel Kawashima looked at the time." Let's continue the bombardment for another twenty minutes and let the troops attack." Kill them all before they can react.”
Little Tachibana and Kawashima would never have thought that the soldiers in the various fortifications of Wen City were not panicking. Instead, they were sitting in a corner and eating lunch.
"When will the Japanese finish their bombardment?”a soldier asked.
Another soldier quickly ate his food." They'll definitely come to die after fighting enough. Hurry up and eat. Don't talk nonsense. We still have to send the Japanese back to their hometown later. We'll only have strength after eating."”
The officer sitting at the side sneered." Our fortifications are all made of reinforced concrete. The commander said that even if we use howitzers to bombard our fortifications, it might not be able to destroy them. With the Japanese's few bird cannons, it would be useless even if they blew them up next year.”
The soldiers in the fortifications were eating happily while the Japanese soldiers outside were bombarding the area with their lives.
Twenty minutes later, the Japanese had almost finished firing.
Little Tachibana and Kawashima gave the order together, commanding the troops to charge in the direction of Wen City.
The Japanese were all in high spirits. Seeing the thick smoke billowing from Wen City, all the Japanese thought that the troops in the city should have been blown up. They would definitely be able to easily take down the county if they went over now.
However, when they got closer, they were dumbfounded. All the fortifications were still there. There were only some signs of damage on the surface, but it did not affect the overall situation.
Black muzzles extended from the bunkers and greeted the Japanese with bullets.
"Da da da"
The storm of bullets hit the Japanese and they fell like leeks.
Many soldiers also appeared behind the fortifications and directly used grenade launchers to throw grenades at the Japanese team.
In just two minutes, the fierce firepower had killed nearly 200 Japanese. On average, two to three people fell every second. They were either killed by bullets or bombs.
Little Tachibana and Kawashima were stunned. They had almost used up all their shells, so why was the defense still there?
Seeing the soldiers at the front line fall one by one, the two of them panicked.
"We can't continue fighting like this. We have to retreat immediately.”"The defense here is too strong, we can't break through it with just our infantry!" Little Li Nan shouted.”
"How did the Chinese make such a strong defense?" Kawashima cried. Even a cannon can't penetrate it. How can a Chinese person have such ability?”
"Kawashima, although we can't take this place, it doesn't mean that other places are the same." Let's go to Wenshui. Their commander, Xia Tian, is there. We must capture the leader first."”
The two of them immediately came to a consensus. Since they could not take down Wen City, rather than suffering heavy losses here, it would be better to skip this place and directly attack Wenshui County.
The two regiments immediately withdrew their troops, bypassed Wen City, and headed towards Wen Shui.
Zhang Hu stood on the city wall and watched them leave. He did not give the order to pursue them, but only wore a mysterious smile on his face.
The two Japanese teams walked for a full six hours. When the sky turned dark, they arrived outside Wenshui County.
Little Tachibana and Kawashima were so excited that they wanted to command the troops to fight. They estimated that Wenshui County would definitely not be on guard, so they could take it down in one fell swoop.
But at this moment, a scout soldier rushed over and reported,""Sir, the defense here is the same as the previous place.”
"Nani!" The two regiment commanders were dumbfounded and immediately took out their binoculars to check.
Under the dim light, they could see the entire Wenshui County.
The defense here could only be described as terrifying. There were bunkers everywhere, and it was even better than Wen City.
"Oh my god!" "How did the Chinese people build this super fortress?" Little Li Nan shouted in despair.”
