Chapter 777: Tooth for Tooth!

"Hehe, this Changqi is really well-organized. The intelligence from the four courtyards should be good. It is a rich city. Reading"

While marching towards Changqi City, Pan Chang divided 30,000 troops into four parts.

Among them, 10,000 troops were deployed in the front of the south city, 10,000 troops were deployed in the north city, and 5,000 troops were deployed at the east and west gates, surrounding Changqi City.

This time they did not use the tactic of encircling three and missing one, but to severely punish the Japanese.

The north and south were arranged in this way to prevent the Japanese from taking care of each other.

When the troops of each part were in place, the artillery built artillery positions and built artillery platforms with sandbags.

Pan Chang looked at the tower of the south gate at this time.

Unlike the city of Dasong, although the city of Dasong also has a tower, it is only two stories.

But the tower of the Japanese is very tall, with five or six stories.

The corridors of the towers are now full of soldiers holding flintlock rifles.

This kind of tower has the function of both defending against enemies and serving as a watchtower.

However, this kind of tower is obviously a legacy of the cold weapon era.

Because for them, these towers have no effect at all.

Putting away the telescope, he said to the artillery general: "This tower is too annoying, blow it up!"

After saying yes, the artillery general left and returned to the artillery position.

This time they built the artillery position 500 meters away from Changqi City.

With the artillery of Japan, their artillery could not destroy the sandbag wall built by the artillery.

The artillery of the Marine Corps can see carefully and destroy the target accurately.

Then, a rifled field gun adjusted its height and aimed the muzzle at the tower.

"Boom!" With a loud bang, the shells of the rifled gun flew straight to the Changqi tower.

With another "boom", the shrapnel exploded in the tower, and the tower suddenly splashed wood chips, flames and smoke.

At this time, Asana Naoto was observing the entire battlefield on the top floor of the tower, and the explosion occurred on the fifth floor.

The sudden bombardment scared him and he sat on the ground.

Although he was a feudal lord, since the Watanabe case unified Japan, the feudal lord was no longer a local lord, but a civil servant who managed various tribes.

Moreover, Changqi City had never been attacked by foreign forces.

Facing war for the first time, he was naturally at a loss.

Others were not much better.

The explosion occurred at such a close distance, and they were all shocked, and their legs were a little weak.

But this was just the beginning, after the first cannon shot.

The artillery on the Yanzhou artillery position seemed to wake up, and the roar continued.

Before Asano Naoto and the generals around him recovered from the first round of explosions, they saw more than ten black spots flying towards the tower like lightning.

He wanted to escape, but his legs were no longer under his control.

At this moment, these black spots fell on different positions of the tower.

"Boom boom boom..." Explosions followed one after another.

The whole tower seemed to have an earthquake.

Asano Naoto was horrified, and he felt that the tower seemed to collapse.

The instinct of survival made him try his best to get up and run down. Suddenly, he was knocked down again.

It turned out that a shell penetrated the floor from bottom to top, revealing half of the shell head, blocking his path.

Seeing this, Masheng Naoto was stunned, but at this moment of daze, the shell suddenly exploded, and the flames completely engulfed him.

It seemed that because of this explosion, the entire Changqi tower made a "creaking" and "creaking" sound, and then collapsed.

The smoke and dust from the collapse of the tower almost covered the entire south wall.

"I really can't stand it." Pan Chang sneered.

He always remembered what Zhou Yi said to him.

The Japanese have committed many evils along the coast of Dasong in recent years, slaughtering coastal people, looting their property, and even not sparing babies of several months old, not to mention the women who were abducted and humiliated.

"Take advantage of now and hit hard!" Thinking of this, Pan Chang's face was as cold as frost, and he issued an order for a full-scale attack.

He could see that the Japanese in the tower had a high status in Changqi, and were even the highest officials and generals in Changqi City.

At this moment, if they didn't die, they would be buried in the tower and unable to command the battle.

Without a leader, Changqi City would be more vulnerable.

Under his order, rifled cannons and howitzers roared at the same time.

The howitzers threw lime bombs on the city wall.

The South City was already covered with smoke and dust, and it was instantly covered by clouds and fog.

After throwing a wave of lime bombs, the howitzers threw shotgun shells.

There was a fire in the white smoke.

As they launched the attack, the Japanese artillery also began to fire back.

It was just that perhaps because the line of sight was blocked, the Japanese artillery fire seemed scattered and had no target.

It could not cause any harm to the soldiers distributed in a scattered line.

The facts were just as Pan Chang expected.

At this moment, the Japanese soldiers in the South City were in a very miserable situation.

The collapse of the tower had already killed some Japanese soldiers.

The lime bullets injured the eyes of many soldiers and made them lose their fighting ability.

The shotgun shells caused a large number of casualties to the remaining soldiers.

The entire city wall was shrouded in fog, and it was impossible to fight back.

The screams of Japanese soldiers were everywhere on the entire city wall.

At the same time as the cannons in the South City were fired, the other three walls were also attacked.

The Japanese soldiers on the other walls could not come to support, which made the South City even more difficult.

"Attack the city!" The Japanese soldiers' chaotic bombardment made Pan Chang realize that the time to attack the city had come, and he immediately gave the order.

At this time, the soldiers fired at the top of the city wall to cover the first batch of grenadiers rushing out.

Arriving at the foot of the south city, the grenadiers threw grenades on the city wall.

Continuous explosions continued, and the flames from the explosions enveloped the south city wall.

Throwing all the grenades they carried, the grenadiers withdrew.

At this time, the soldiers put on bayonets and rushed to the city wall with ladders.

"Kill!"

The ladders climbed up the wall, and the Marines climbed up the wall with a howl.

At this time, the smoke on the wall had gradually dissipated.

Climbing up the wall, they jumped down with bayonets, ready to fight with the Japanese soldiers.

But the bodies of Japanese soldiers were everywhere on the wall, and the white lime and dust from the collapsed tower covered the bodies.

This scene did not shake the soldiers' will to fight. They stepped on the bodies of Japanese soldiers, ready to occupy the wall and open the city gate at the same time.

"Xi Nei!" When the Marines were marching, the bodies of the Japanese soldiers on the wall suddenly rolled, and some of the Japanese who were originally pressed down climbed up and rushed towards the Marines.

It turned out that these Japanese soldiers used the bodies of their companions as human shields to avoid the explosion of the howitzer.

Although the Marines were not affiliated with the Royal Guards, the two armies often exchanged battlefield experience.

The Royal Guards had experienced a lot of this situation.

So, they were always vigilant.

As soon as the Japanese soldiers rushed over, their bayonets stabbed over.

The remaining Japanese soldiers were quickly cleared.

At this time, the soldiers looked into Changqi City with a sharp gaze.
