Dozens of field cannons that had finally been dragged over were being raised by artillery soldiers, and their muzzles were pointed directly at the east gate wall.

The Japanese army defending the East Gate had a brigade of more than 800 people, plus 500 Koreans, with a total force of 1,300.

If it was a pure infantry attack, the Japanese brigade captain was confident that with the dozens of light and heavy machine guns in his hand, the Liaodong Army could defeat them even if ten thousand people came.

But God did not help him. Although the Liaodong Army outside the city did not have ten thousand people, it was equipped with two brigades of field artillery.

Faced with these field cannons, the captain's confidence was gone, and he was full of concern about whether he could hold his position.

Of course, Fengcheng is so important, and it was captured by the Liaodong Army once.

Once, the Japanese army taught a lesson, no matter how arrogant they were, they would equip the Fengcheng defenders with artillery.

The only open area in the city is the Japanese artillery position, where a brigade of eighteen field artillery stands. More than a hundred gunners are guarding next to the artillery and are ready to fire at any time.

However, the Japanese army did not expect that the field artillery brigade they had high expectations had been targeted by Wang Hong's commando, and they were destroyed without even a chance to fire the artillery.

Under the fear and worry of the Japanese army at the east gate, the sound of roaring cannons and the roaring sound of shells passing through the sky reached their ears, and then a violent explosion rang out at the top of the city.

When the Liaodong Army fired artillery, the Japanese field artillery brigade took action.

Adjust the direction of the muzzle and move the shells. Everyone is busy with nervousness.

At this time, the commandos lurking around them moved.

A small team of "Japanese troops" were lined up in two formations, carrying rifles and light machine guns, and running towards the artillery positions.

I never thought that there would be Japanese sentries from the Liaodong Army in the city, and I directly treated them as guards sent by the brigade commander.

Because according to convention, after the battle begins, no matter where the artillery is, the commander will increase the strength of the guard forces accordingly to ensure the safety of the artillery.

It was not until the commando ran twenty meters away from the sentry and the sentry guarding behind the sandbag stood up with a smile on their faces to greet them that they realized something was wrong.

A small team of Japanese troops in front of him were actually equipped with six light machine guns, which was in the brigade commander's guard, and only one small team was equipped with two light machine guns.

The Japanese army standing out from behind the sandbag was alert and subconsciously picked up the rifle to make the commando stop moving forward and figure out the identity of the commando.

But he had already rushed here and did not even give him a chance to speak.

The Japanese army was about to pick up the rifle in front of him, and the squad leader who rushed in front drew out his pistol and shot him twice in the chest.

After finishing, he immediately turned his wounds and shot three Japanese troops behind the bunker, shooting all the bullets.

All of a sudden, all four Japanese soldiers guarding the entrance of the artillery position were dead, without even saying a word.

As soon as the team leader fired the gun, the remaining people in the commando responded.

The one with the pistol took out the pistol, the one equipped with the rifle took the rifle, and the light machine gunner held the light machine gun and rushed towards the Japanese position that was close to him.

In the middle, as long as the Japanese army entered their sight, they immediately pulled the trigger and used dense bullets to knock the opponent into a hornet's nest with bloody holes all over their bodies.

The commando of less than one hundred people easily entered the Japanese field artillery brigade.

Hundreds of Japanese gunners who were almost unequipped with self-defense weapons were not the opponent of nearly a hundred elite commandos of the commando.

In less than five minutes, a field artillery brigade of three or four hundred gunners and ammunition players, except for dozens of quick reactions who escaped from the artillery position early, all the Japanese troops were beaten into corpses.

Because the field artillery position is not far from the brigade command center, less than five minutes later, someone who escaped went to the brigade command center to report the news that the field artillery brigade was attacked.

In fact, without them reporting, the dense gunfire from the field artillery brigade had already told Major General Sakai that the attacking field artillery brigade was being attacked.

The enemy Major General Sakai, who couldn't understand why there was an enemy in the city, knew very well that if he didn't immediately eliminate the harm of these Liaodong troops.

Just as he was angry and ready to mobilize troops to destroy these Liaodong troops.

A violent gunfire suddenly sounded outside the brigade command center. Major General Sakai, who had rich combat experience, made a judgment immediately. The brigade command center was attacked. The gunfire was fired from rifles and pistols, as well as light machine guns and heavy machine guns, which directly proved that the attackers outside were not weak.

Sure enough, less than ten seconds after the gunfire sounded, a small captain of the guard squadron rushed in and reported: "Brig Commander, more than a hundred Liaodong troops in our military uniforms attacked us, and the guard squadron is fighting desperately."

"But the enemy's firepower is too strong. There are three heavy machine guns alone, and more than ten light machine guns. The guard squadron can block them for up to five minutes. Please transfer immediately!"

"Baga, this is my brigade command center. I will not leave here! I will immediately dispatch troops from around and eliminate these enemies!" Major General Sakai refused without thinking.

The chief of staff next to him was much calmer and advised: "The brigade commander thought twice. First, the field artillery brigade was attacked, and then the brigade commander was attacked, which means that there were many Liaodong troops infiltrated in the city. Many of them came over to you for the brigade commander, you must ensure safety!" Also, several brigades are now on the city wall, and it is definitely too late to transfer troops now. Therefore, you must transfer the brigade commander!"

After saying that, the Chief of Staff ordered the squad leader in front of him without waiting for Sakai to open his mouth: "Take a team to protect the brigade commander and go to the barracks. There are still many left-behind troops there, which can ensure the safety of the brigade commander. Others, including all officers in the command center, are equipped with rifles and machine guns, and follow me to block the attack of the Liaodong Army and cover the brigade commander to break through."

After the commando finally took the commando to the Japanese military brigade command, Major General Sakai was so running that he could not even see his shadow.

Of course, the team leader was unwilling to let a big fish run away like this, so he immediately led his troops to pursue him.

At this moment, Wang Hong, who was lurking near the East Gate, also attacked.

Wang Hong, who personally led half of the commando team's troops, had one purpose. As soon as the shelling from outside the city ended, he immediately launched an attack. With the cooperation of the offensive troops outside the city, he defeated the defenders of the Dongcheng City Wall, opened the city gate, and welcomed the main force into the city.

The Japanese brigade captain, who was under the bombardment of more than 30 field artillery, heard the sudden sound of gunfire from the artillery positions in the city, and immediately realized that the field artillery brigade was likely to have encountered something unexpected.

In this way, the captain's dream of supporting artillery fire in the city was shattered.

Sure enough, in the next ten minutes the artillery bombardment did not fire a single shell.
