The telephone rang, and a Japanese captain picked up the receiver:

"Meximexi...,...hi...hi".

After hanging up the phone, he ordered the artillery to test fire. He took an observer with him, retreated to the high ground, picked up a telescope to observe, and was closer to the lurking personnel. Gunfire had been heard from the direction of Mengyin. Chen Feng made a gesture to Huang Shanhe, and the two of them suddenly jumped up. The Japanese squad leader and the artillery observer were observing the direction of Mengyin with their backs to them, and they had no idea that there was an ambush right behind them. When they heard the noise, it was too late, and both were shot in the throat.

The lurking platoon was paying attention to the positions of the platoon leader and the captain. When they saw the captain cut the throat of the Japanese, he made a charge gesture, suddenly jumped up and charged towards the artillery.

The artillerymen were busy with test firing and had no idea what was happening behind them. When one of them covered his ears and turned around, he was horrified to find that a group of people holding submachine guns and light machine guns were more than ten meters away.

Seeing that the target was exposed, all the soldiers opened fire at once. There were more than 70 artillerymen and auxiliary personnel in eight positions, and there was no defense at all.

Thirty submachine guns and machine guns fired together, and without any accident, dozens of Japanese soldiers were quickly shot into sieves.

Ningbo, who was lying in ambush on the gentle slope on the other side, saw that the battle had started here and also issued an attack order. There was also a squad of soldiers guarding the trucks and artillery shells on the road. They heard the gunfire from the artillery position on the left and were about to go up the slope to check, but the Ningbo platoon had appeared behind them. Thirty people fought ten, and after just one round of shooting, ten devils were sent back home.

Ningbo ordered the artillery to go up the hill to join the battle, and the rest of the troops advanced 500 meters to ambush in case the Japanese troops attacking Mengyin City came back to support.

Chen Feng was waiting by the phone, on guard against the Japanese soldiers under the city of Mengyin who heard the gunfire behind them and asked. There was no movement for three minutes. He knew that there was gunfire raging in Mengyin County, and the gunfire five miles away did not attract their attention at all. Seeing the artillery of Ningbo platoon coming up, he immediately ordered the artillery of Huangshanhe platoon to stay, and the others went forward with machine guns to defend.

The artillery had already adjusted the firing range. Chen Feng lowered the elevation of each gun by half a degree and ordered the artillery to test fire while he waited for news by the phone.

The Japanese army had begun the attack. Seeing that the city gate and the city wall had no defense, the infantry guns and indirect fire artillery bombarded the inside of the city wall. A squadron of Japanese troops quickly blew open the city gate and broke through in a triangular formation.

Just after rushing into the city gate for a few dozen meters, the Marines opened fire. Bullets from light and heavy machine guns, with angry flames, scattered towards the Japanese squadron. The Japanese were hit and immediately lay down to fight back and notified the artillery to bomb.

The indirect fire and infantry guns opened fire first.

Boom, boom, boom!

The Marines had no trenches to rely on and were unable to raise their heads due to the bombardment. Seeing this, the Japanese squadron leader immediately pointed his sword forward:

"Go to hell with this."

The defenders of the front few rows of houses of the National Army could no longer hold on and quickly retreated with the wounded, joining the defense line of the streets behind.

Chen Feng climbed up to a high place and calculated the artillery positions under the city, intending to destroy the artillery first, otherwise the national army in the city would not be able to hold out for a day.

The phone rang, and Chen Feng jumped down from the high ground in a hurry:

"Moses Moses".

A captain yelled at Chen Feng:

"Idiot, waste, all the test shells hit the city wall, adjust the direction immediately, if this happens again, do yourself a dissection."

Chen Feng imitated the tone of the team leader just now and made a promise with fear and trepidation.

He put down the phone, adjusted the mountain artillery scale again, aimed it at the artillery positions of the Japanese army under the city, ordered the artillery to fire, and went up to the high ground to continue observation.

After a round of shelling, most of the shells hit the artillery positions outside the city. All the artillerymen looked back at Chen Feng, and Chen Feng clenched his fists and waved them twice in a row.

The artillery continued its bombardment, and the captain ordered ten rounds to be fired at maximum speed; there was no time to lose.

The artillery positions of the Japanese army under the city had just destroyed several mortars and infantry guns in a round of test firing. The captain of the artillery was calling Jiechuanxiong to complain and curse, demanding that the two team leaders of the mountain artillery be severely punished.

"Boooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo much."

The squadron leader heard the sound of breaking air above his head and his scalp instantly went numb. Just as he was about to shout "Defend against the artillery", a shell penetrated the tent. After the violent explosion, the squadron leader was shattered into pieces.

Jie Chuanxiong was stunned. These idiots, don't they know that they are bombing their own positions? After the artillery positions were bombed, Jie Chuanxiong finally reacted and quickly answered the phone of the mountain artillery position. When he heard someone answering the phone, he started to speak crazily. He was crazy, Jie Chuanxiong was crazy, and he had to make these two team leaders commit suicide.

A team leader's voice came from the other side:

"Your Excellency the Commander, we refuse to bombard the Chinese positions and are ready to surrender to them. Just take the attacking force as a gift!"

Jiechuanxiong was totally confused. What was going on? The voice belonged to the team leader Tanakabe! Surrender? Gift? Jiechuanxiong's brain was completely confused.

"Boooooooh!"

The scream of death came again.

"Anti-gun!"

The Japanese troops were completely stunned by the bombing. For the first time, they felt how terrifying their own mountain artillery was. Whether it was the squadron rushing into the city gate or the Japanese troops outside the city preparing to enter the city, the personnel were very dense.

The follow-up troops of the Yimeng guerrillas arrived. Chen Feng ordered three platoons to move forward quickly to set up machine gun positions and defense lines. He took over the radio and adjusted it to contact Shen Honglie in Mengyin City.

Shen Honglie was assessing the situation. The Japanese army did not encircle him from the east as he had thought. They were preparing to break through the south gate and rush in. This was a good idea. Third Battalion Commander:

"arrive"!

"Take your Third Battalion to quickly reinforce the South Gate and set up a defense line of at least eight streets. The Japanese army will mainly attack the South Gate. Hurry!"

The third battalion commander ran out, and the Japanese artillery bombardment began again. Shen Honglie listened to the bursts of roars, and his heart was bleeding. These were the sounds of the explosions of 75 mountain artillery shells. He knew that each shell could take the lives of many brothers.

Shen Honglie listened to the explosion and suddenly felt something was wrong. The explosion seemed to be a little further away:

"telescope".

The guard quickly handed over the binoculars. Shen Honglie took the binoculars and jumped out of the room, climbing up the ladder to the roof. A group of guards were shocked and hurriedly held the ladder and shouted:

"Sir, danger!"

"Sir, come down quickly!"

Shen Honglie no longer cared about the danger. He stood on the roof and looked south. The explosions were still continuing, but they definitely did not target his own team. The explosion points were all at the city gate and outside the city.

Were the Japanese soldiers stupid? If he hadn't seen it with his own eyes, Shen Honglie wouldn't have believed it. He knew the coordination between the Japanese troops' infantry and artillery, and it was definitely not a mistake.

The signalman suddenly jumped out of the house:

"Report to the commander, there is a call from the Mengshan and Yimeng guerrillas."

Shen Honglie was shocked. That's right! How could he forget about him? It must be them. He didn't care to climb down the ladder:

"read".

The correspondent hesitated when reading the telegram, but seeing that his superior was anxious, he did not dare to delay:

"Hello, Brother Shen. I have already captured the Japanese mountain artillery position and blown up the artillery positions under the city. I will launch a saturation attack on the Japanese troops under the city and cut off the Japanese army's retreat route to Pingyi. Brother Shen, please judge the enemy situation and be ready to attack at any time. Sincerely, Brother Black Eagle."
