Chapter 2461 The Old Town of the Devil's Cannon
In order to obtain further confirmation, Tada took his team to the front line after seeing Naota take down the front line.
"Tada, did you see it? When the Chinese army saw the Great Japanese Imperial Army arrive here, they were already scared and dared not set up defenses here to block the Imperial Army's attack!" Naoda easily took this position and seemed to have begun to expand. He did not take the Chinese army in Laowu Town seriously at all.
It seems that in his opinion, taking down Laowu Town is a charge, and he can take it at any time as long as he wants, so he completely ignored the other party.
"Natada, it's better to be careful. After all, we don't know much about the enemies in the city!" Tada said immediately. Although he took down a position without spending one soldier in this first battle, it was precisely this reason that Naoda's expansion, and he felt that this was not a good thing.
But he had no choice in the face of Naoda's stubbornness, because in his opinion, it was too dangerous to continue like this, and he could not determine what the final result of their battle would be, so he wanted to persuade Naoda so that Naoda could temporarily stabilize his mind and not be blinded by victory.
"Tada, just keep your heart in your stomach. I will definitely take down this old house town for you and destroy the Chinese people in the future!" Hearing this, Naoda immediately said. It seemed that he did not take Tada's words seriously at all, and even thought that as long as they continued to persevere, they would definitely take down the town in front of them. So when he was saying this, he reached out and patted Tada on the shoulder and said this to Tada.
"Natada!" Tada wanted to say something else, but the other party obviously didn't listen to what he said. He only saw this guy turning directly to the Japanese soldiers beside him and said, "You rushed up and called Tada's machine cannon team to let Tada see how our Naoda team fought!"
When the Japanese officers heard Naoda's words, they immediately became excited as if they were injected with chicken blood. They waved and rushed towards the moat with the Japanese soldiers.
Obviously, they wanted to show their strength in front of Tada and Naoda to prove that their Naoda team's combat effectiveness is still the same as before and is the proudest existence of the Great Japanese Empire.
Tada saw these madmen charging towards the moat under Naoda's command, but he could only watch and do nothing, because he and Naoda were on the same level of military rank, and there was no saying that who commanded and who did.
This time, Naoda's team followed him and only assisted him in the battle. However, after Naoda's team came here, they saw that the battle was easier to fight, so they lost their direction and began to swell, not knowing who they were.
While approaching the moat, these Japanese soldiers pulled the trigger and fired the gun on the city wall. This was obvious, they wanted to use firepower to suppress the Chinese army on the city wall, and cover their troops to quickly rush across the moat and arrive at the gate of the city.
On the city wall, Wang Si saw the Japanese rushing towards the city gate frantically. He carefully calculated the distance. After confirming that the Japanese had entered their range, he immediately raised his right hand and made a move to all the brothers around him.
As soon as this gesture was sent out, Changgui immediately called on all the brothers on the city wall to open fire according to the Japanese. For a moment, the rifles in their hands became the nightmare for these charge Japanese Japanese.
Only a crackling sound of gunshots were heard, and more than thirty Japanese Japanese who rushed over were shot dead on the road of charge, lying on the cold ground, losing all their consciousness.
The huge scene of casualties scared the Japanese officers who led the team. He never expected that they were hit by their opponents before they approached the city gate. More importantly, the iron army they trained, which took several years to train, was destroyed after the opponent's three or two gunshots.
More than half of the casualties were killed or injured in an instant. It was hard to say whether the remaining Japanese soldiers could withstand it for a while, so he thought about it and asked all the Japanese soldiers around him to evacuate here.
If he did not give retreat orders to the Japanese soldiers around him at this time, he would probably not be able to return to any Japanese soldiers on their side.
Seeing that the Japanese who rushed up were immediately hit before they even approached the city gate, Naoda's fist was almost bleeding. The previous battle was so smooth that he felt that attacking this place was not difficult from the bottom of his heart, but the current situation was beyond his expectations.
The troops involved in the charge this time had almost half of the troops, but after the opponent's firepower attack, he suffered heavy losses and almost not many could survive.
"Haga!" Seeing this, Naoda immediately cursed, and he never thought that this was the result.
After seeing the team retreating, he originally wanted to stop the clothes from charging, but the number of soldiers in his hand was not large. As soon as he planned to stop the charge, the firepower on the opposite side increased again and rushed towards them.
Although it was an integrated attack of rifles, they did not retreat to a safe distance because they were too accurate. As a result, many Japanese soldiers died under the attack here.
In desperation, Naoda had to retreat and wait as much as possible to lead the troops to avoid the opponent's fire strike.
Seeing that the situation was not good, Tada immediately ordered the machine gun team beside him to set up the mortar and immediately suppressed the mortar at Wang Si and his city tower.
First, the test-fire artillery fire was covered, and only a few booms were heard. The shells slashed through the sky and directly hit the city wall where Wang Si and the others were.
Because it was a test-fire strike, the accuracy of the shells was not enough. Some shells just landed on the outside of the city wall. After the explosion, they exploded several meters of soil, and exploded the ground into huge pits, but they could not injure people.
Some of them were blown up behind the city walls and fell onto the streets in the city. The explosion burned some nearby wooden structures, and vendor shelves and some street decorations were blown away.
Because Xue Bing had organized the villagers to evacuate there in advance, there was no one on the street. The explosion only blackened some of the surrounding areas, causing a small combustion.
This explosion did not hurt anyone for the time being, but the Japanese were unwilling to accept this. Then the second round of artillery bombing began. This time, after the Japanese had adjusted the direction of the artillery aircraft after the previous test firing, the Japanese had increased the accuracy of this artillery bombing a lot.
