The reason why Zhao Yu asked this is actually because he didn't believe that the puppet army just said that there were more than 4,000 ordinary people in the city. Guangrao County was just a small county by the sea. Even during the reign of Han Fuju, the permanent population was only 5,000 or 6,000.

People go to high places and water flows to low places. As Yang Fan's living standards continue to rise, the siphon effect becomes more and more obvious, and the surrounding people begin to pour into the defense areas under the control.

In addition, over the past six months, Yang Fan has deliberately increased his efforts to "poach" and ordinary people in Guangrao County have long been evacuated.

Sure enough, as soon as Zhao Yu finished speaking, the puppet army replied honestly: "If you say goodbye to the commander, there are actually not many people in the city, and they are only in their early 2,000s. The Japanese are simply exaggerating, making you dare not let go of your hands and feet and they are really trying to do it."

Zhao Yu nodded and said, "Very good, it's not too late to fix the dead! What's your name?"

When he heard this, the puppet army immediately looked happy and said, "When the chief said, the young man is Wu Pengshi. Although he is wearing this dog skin, I have never done anything that is harmful to the world."

Zhao Yu nodded and said, "Okay, I remember! I hope we will have the opportunity to fight side by side to kill the Japanese devils in the future."

"Okay! OK! Sir, then I'll go and reply to the Japanese!"

Wu Pengshi bowed and ran away happily, and now he finally found a way out.

"Brothers, continue to strengthen their positions and wait for the next combat order."

After Wu Pengshi walked away, Zhao Yu picked up and shouted to the surrounding officers and soldiers: "The Japanese soldier was determined to fight with us to the end, so it is inevitable that the tough battle is inevitable, and we must be mentally prepared."

"What are you afraid of when fighting a tough battle!"

"Yes! If the Japanese soldier takes the gun and refuses to kill him, that would be meaningless!"

"We just happened to have a good time today and kill us."

The officers and soldiers around were not panicked at all, but seemed extremely excited and were full of expectations for the upcoming street battle.

"Haha, our guns are here, brothers are all working hard! Hurry!"

Ten minutes later, six 37mm war defense cannons and 10 75mm flat-fire cannons were pulled to the foot of the city wall. Then everyone worked together to lift the war defense cannons and more than half a ton of more than 75mm cannons onto the city wall.

Soon, these cannons were placed on the gap above the female wall, and the barrels were aimed at the steel and concrete building and houses in front of the city.

"Baga! No, please report to the Grand Master, the Chinese army has set up artillery on the city wall, and they will launch artillery fire soon!"

Although the city walls blocked the view, dozens of cannons were set up on the three walls, and such movements could not completely avoid the Japanese's eyes and ears.

So after a while, the news reached the Japanese captain Akita Takimura.

Takimura Aki waved his hand too disapprovingly:

"Baga! At most, it is some small-caliber artillery. It has limited destructive power to our fortifications. Don't worry at all. Order the troops to hide! Let them consume the shells as much as possible, but I don't believe that their shells cannot be completed!"

Although Guangrao County is not big, it is at least 20 square kilometers. There are hundreds of permanent fortifications transformed by the Japanese in the urban area. If it is bombarded with small-caliber artillery, even if it is bombarded with thousands or tens of thousands of shells, it will not be able to damage the muscles and bones.

Not to mention that there are thousands of houses that can be used as bunkers.

In addition, the Japanese were short of supplies. Although the number of artillery equipped is not small, the shells have always been relatively careful. Therefore, Akita Takimura believed that after several hours of ammunition consumption, the current inventory of artillery shells in the Tiger Army of China will not be too large.

However, what Takimura Akita didn't know was that Yang Fan really had no shortage of shells. After half a year of reserves, he purchased millions of large and small caliber shells from the United States, which was enough to last for several months.

What's more, even if the consumption is too fast, Yang Fan can buy in large quantities from the system mall at any time.

In addition, the 75mm flat-fire cannon is powerful, and even a bank building made of steel and cement cannot withstand continuous shooting at any cost.

"Hehe, let's try the power of our artillery first!"

After setting up the cannon, Zhao Yu yelled with a smile: "Brothers of artillery, aim and beat me hard, and leveled the building and the buildings that might hide the Japanese."

"Get orders!"

"Please rest assured, Company Commander Zhao, watch us break the Japanese turtle shell!"

"Please wear ear protection, brothers, and the fire is about to be fired!"

The artillery began to load shells, and soon a flat-fired cannon roared, and 75mm shells were bombarded at the high-rise buildings in the county town without any money.

Those 37mm war defense artillery were statically braked and ready to fight back against the Japanese artillery that appeared at any time.

Bang bang bang bang bang, gravels flew everywhere, and the Guangrao County Bank Building, which was shot by artillery, kept shaking, and bricks and tiles fell down like rain.

In a short while, the entire building was bombarded with holes. In many places, the cement bricks and tiles were blown to pieces and exposed the twisted and deformed steel structure, which looked like a skeleton frame with flesh and blood tissue lost.

At the same time, the other two directions attacked the traffic building and the county government building in a few shots, and were bombed beyond recognition.

These three buildings needless to think of, must be the core position of the Japanese. Even if the hostages are held inside, they have to bite the bullet and beat them to the ground before talking about it.

"It's over! The Chinese Tiger Army has started shelling!"

"At the moment, there are at least 30 cannons. If we hit us, we will have to blow them to pieces in just one round."

"Then what can I do? Is it a blessing or a disaster? I can't escape it!"

"Who told us to become the family members of a traitor? Otherwise, we would have gone to Commander Yang long ago! Alas!"

"Even if I become a ghost, I won't let these inhumane beasts go!"

"Wu Pengshi, didn't you say that a commander of the Chinese Hu Ben Army is willing to accept us?"

"Oh, others can't just fire the gun and fight against the Japanese with their lives?"

"Stop talking! If you really shoot us, it will be our fate!"

The violent explosions continued, and the entire Guangrao County was trembling.

Of course, everyone knew what was going on. The people trapped in the city and the trapped puppet troops were all in fear.

The so-called guns and cannons have no eyes. If the Chinese Tiger Army extends shelling to them for indiscriminate coverage, they will definitely not be spared.

There were not many underground air defense bunkers in Guangrao County that allowed the people to hide safely, and the only air defense bunkers were occupied by the Japanese devils.

These ordinary people, the puppet army and their families were completely treated as cannon fodder and were still in various houses in the city, allowing them to fend for themselves.
