"Boom boom boom..."

Under the close attack of the Xiyang Guard Brigade, shells, grenades, bullets... flew to the city like you don't have money to harvest the lives of the Japanese and puppet troops.

Major Sakuragi stayed at the command center and felt like he was sitting on pins and needles. Every once in a while, he would receive bad news from the city wall. He was a little numb when he heard it.

His initial idea sounded very reasonable. If the National Salvation Army did not launch a general attack, the main force of the city defense force would not go to the top of the city, so as to reduce the casualties of the troops in combat and persist for a longer time.

I only realized that this matter was not that easy to operate.

The National Salvation Army hid in an attacking position more than 100 meters away and could launch a decisive assault at any time.

If they suddenly launch a general attack while attacking the backwards, they can reach the foot of the city wall in at most half a minute.

If the main force of the city defense force was not on the top of the city at that time, it would definitely not be able to stop it by relying on a team of more than 100 people. In this way, the city defense fortifications would be lost.

Therefore, facing the National Salvation Army that launched a close-range attack, the garrisons in the four directions of the county town dared not take risks.

Since the National Salvation Army launched an attack, whether it was a backlash or a real main attack, the main force of the garrison was concentrated on the top of the city.

In the next battle, two such accidents happened to occur in the north and east of the city.

Because the attack distance between the National Salvation Army was too close, the follow-up troops could participate in the war at any time.

Originally, there were only two platoons of the upward attacking troops, but in a flash they formed two companies.

Fortunately, the main forces of the garrison were at the top of the city at that time, and they quickly concentrated all their firepower and attacked fiercely, which blocked the attack of the National Salvation Army. Otherwise, the National Salvation Army would have taken the opportunity to take the city and break into the county town.

Although half an hour has passed since this accident, every time I think about it, the Japanese commander who had been deceived once was still scared and very scared.

In order to avoid this accident happening to me again, no matter whether the national rescue army outside the city launched a backlash attack or a main attack, the main force of the city defense force always stayed at the top of the city and did not dare to retreat!

Hundreds of people were guarding the bare city head, and the only battlements that could be used to hide were also blown up by mountain cannons one after another. In addition, mortar shells and grenades fell from the sky like rain, making it difficult for the Japanese and puppet troops to lose much.

"Reporting to the commander, the North Gate garrison requested reinforcements. The National Salvation Army attacked them too fiercely. In less than an hour, more than 100 artillery shells and grenades were fired at the city head. Our people could only be passively bombed. Less than 300 people left can continue fighting and need reinforcements urgently." The telephone soldier hurriedly ran to Major Sakuragi, reporting with a nervous look on his face, fearing that the news he had just brought would anger him!

"I lost more than a hundred people in just such a short time. What does their commander do for food!" Major Sakuragi was indeed angry and cursed.

After being scolded, the telephone soldier became even more guilty and wanted to disappear from the superior now.

But now it doesn't work. He has been targeted by Major Sakuragi, so he can only explain with a thorn in his mouth: "The garrison in the Castle North reported that the artillery fire of the National Salvation Army attacked them is very fierce. They have no artillery fire to counterattack, and they can only be blasted passively!"

"Bageya Road, why did the National Salvation Army have so many shells? If I remember correctly, they have used seven or eight hundred shells since the beginning of the attack. They have used two or three hundred shells of Guangshan cannons and infantry cannons. Where did they get so many shells?" Major Sakuragi was nervous and anxious, and asked a question he couldn't understand.

The telephone soldier continued to explain: "I don't know where the National Salvation Army came from, but we must send troops to reinforce them as soon as possible."

"In the battle just now, the National Salvation Army launched a desperate assault on them more than once. If their troops were not replenished as soon as possible, the National Salvation Army took the opportunity to launch a new round of assaults, they would definitely not be able to stop it!"

Major Sakuragi was very hesitant and didn't know whether to send troops to reinforce the north of the castle immediately.

With the 200 mobile troops being formed by the adjutant, the command center has less than 500 mobile troops.

And now there are at least five hours before dawn. According to the current fighting style and casualty speed, the mobile troops may not be able to hold on for even three hours.

If the mobile troops are exhausted and there will be heavy casualties in the subsequent battle, the county garrison will fall into a dangerous situation where there is no soldiers available, and the county garrison will be in danger.

Just when Major Sakuragi didn't know how to make a decision, another telephone soldier ran towards him with nervous expression.

"Sir, the troops in the east of the city also suffered heavy casualties in the battle just now, and they are in urgent need of reinforcements!"

"Did you get bombed by shells?" Major Sakuragi asked with a calm face.

The telephone soldier nodded quickly: "Sir, wise! In less than an hour, the National Salvation Army fired at least one hundred artillery shells and grenades on the top of the city!"

"Our troops are unable to defend themselves, so they can only be blasted passively and ask for support. If possible, it is best to reinforce the past two mortars, otherwise they will not be able to reduce the losses of the troops!"

A staff officer next to him saw Major Sakuragi's concerns and immediately reminded: "Sir, the situation on the city defense position is very critical, we must send troops to reinforce immediately."

"If the National Salvation Army takes the opportunity to launch a general attack, strike a breakthrough, and enter the county town, it will be useless if the command center holds more mobile troops!"

"We must now ensure that there is no problem with the city defense position and that the national rescue army will not let the county town break into the dawn. As for whether we can last until dawn, in addition to relying on ourselves, we also have to see whether God is standing on our side."

"The National Salvation Army's shelling continues, and they will use dozens of shells every minute."

"Although we don't know where these shells were brought from, we know that the National Salvation Army cannot produce shells by themselves. The shells they have in their hands will be less. I don't believe they are willing to use thousands of shells to attack Heshun County."

"As long as they have all their shells, we have a chance to defend the county."

"The only reliance on our national rescue army to attack is the artillery advantage. Without shells, their artillery advantage will be gone."

"We rely on the city defense fortifications to defend the city. No matter how many infantry he comes, he will never want to break into the county town!"

Major Sakuragi figured it out and immediately ordered the combat staff: "You are right. Even if we have no soldiers available in the next battle, we must fight the battle in front of us well. Don't hold a mobile force of hundreds of people in your hand, but the city defense fortifications are broken through by the National Salvation Army, which will be more than worth the loss."

"Immediately draw 100 people from each mobile unit to reinforce the north and east of the city. Now I will issue an order. The reinforcements must join the battle within twenty minutes.

Ten minutes later, the troops stationed in the south of the Castle also sent a telegram to Major Sakuragi for help.

At three o'clock in the morning, the troops stationed in the north and east of the Castle were completely wiped out again, and Major Sakuragi had to send the last two hundred people in his hands.

At 3:30 in the morning, the reinforcements to the reinforcements garrisons in the south of the Castle were almost exhausted. The call for help was called to the command center. Major Sakuragi did not send a single reinforcement except for ordering them to defend their positions to the death.

At this time, a huge gap of more than 60 meters wide was blown by mountain cannon shells at the end of the city. Because there were no battlements as bunkers in this section, one of the Japanese and puppet troops was killed when they came up. After nearly twenty people were killed or injured in a row, the Japanese squadron leader decisively gave up this section of the city wall.

But he did not allow this gap to become his defense loophole.

The only two heavy machine guns are mounted on both sides of the gap. If the National Salvation Army really dares to assault the gap, the crossfire power of the two heavy machine guns will definitely kill the attacking troops!
