"Bagaya deer~!"

In the Japanese headquarters, Colonel Muto was losing his temper.

The Japanese officers present were all so frightened that they could not even breathe.

It was already dawn at this moment, and according to the original plan, they planned to launch another attack on Heyuan County.

But now the situation has changed, Miyano Jun is dead, they spent the whole night struggling, the losses were not small, and in the end they gained nothing.

Moreover, reinforcements from the Eighth Route Army successfully entered Heyuan County and strengthened the defense force in the city.

This is undoubtedly adding insult to injury for the Muto United Team.

Colonel Muto was naturally very angry, and since Miyano Jun was dead, he did not dare to hide it, so he quickly reported the news to the North China Expedition Army Headquarters.

Jun Tada, who was far away in Peiping, was extremely shocked when he received the news.

If in normal times, a major general is killed in battle, he is dead.

But this was a critical moment in the battle. Miyano Shun mobilized tens of thousands of troops this time to lay siege to the Eighth Route Taiyue and Taihang base areas.

At this time, if he, the direct commander, died in battle, it would inevitably affect the entire war situation.

Moreover, it was learned that the Kurai Alliance was completely wiped out and the Muto Alliance's attack was also blocked, which also made Tada Shun very angry.

I didn't know what to do for a while.

If the battle is not going well, it stands to reason that you should retreat and adjust your deployment in order to fight again.

But Tada Shun was really unwilling to give in. He mobilized so many troops and lost troops and generals, but in the end he gained nothing.

Jun Miyano, the old devil himself, died, and everything was over, but he, the commander of the North China Expeditionary Force, was implicated by him. How should he explain it to the military?

Thinking of this, Tada Jun was as anxious as an ant on a hot pot. Originally, his position was already unstable due to repeated defeats in the past. Now that something like this happened again, how could Tada Jun not be anxious.

As if he could see Tada Shun's thoughts, a Japanese colonel present said: "Your Excellency, Commander, now the main force of the enemy army has been restrained by various units of the imperial army, and the two sides have formed a stalemate."

"Only in Heyuan County, the fighting is more intense. According to Colonel Muto's report, at least 2,080 main forces are now besieged in the county."

"I think that even if we have to stop this big sweep, we still have to capture Heyuan and eliminate this group of Eighth Route Army troops, because they are already surrounded by the imperial army."

Tada Jun nodded slightly and said: 'What does Colonel Muto mean? Let's ask his opinion!'

"After all, we are not on the front line and don't understand the situation on the front line. We still need to listen to Colonel Muto's opinion."

"Hai!"

The Japanese Colonel responded respectfully, and then said: "I will immediately send a telegram to Colonel Muto and ask if they are sure of taking Heyuan County?"

This telegram was quickly sent to the Heyuan front line.

"Your Excellency, Wing Commander, urgent call from headquarters."

Colonel Muto quickly took the telegram, read it carefully, and couldn't help but frown.

A Japanese officer asked cautiously: "Your Excellency, Colonel, what did the telegram from the headquarters say?"

Colonel Muto frowned and said, "The headquarters asked us if we are sure we can capture Heyuan County and eliminate Tubal Road in the city?"

This telegram really made Colonel Muto very embarrassed.

To say that he is confident, in fact, this old devil is still a little weak in his heart, and he is really not completely sure.

But if they are not sure, it seems that they are too incompetent.

Moreover, their performance in the previous battle was quite poor. If they take the initiative to give in this time, they probably won't be able to survive.

At this time, a Japanese officer said: "Your Excellency, Captain, the matter has reached this point. I think we have no other choice. We can only go all out to attack Heyuan and eliminate the enemy forces in Heyuan City.

The merit pays for the crime.”

Colonel Muto thought the same way before. When he heard this, he nodded and said, "It seems that this is the only way."

"Immediately send a telegram to the headquarters, saying that we will go all out to launch an attack to ensure that we capture the source of the river and eliminate the enemy forces in the city."

"Hai!"

A Japanese officer responded respectfully and turned around to send a telegram.

Colonel Muto continued: "Immediately pass the order and order all the troops to prepare for battle and prepare to attack the city."

"Hai!"

A Japanese officer responded respectfully and turned around to convey the order.

The telegram was sent to Peiping, the Japanese headquarters, as quickly as possible.

After reading the telegram, Tada Jun nodded with satisfaction and said: "Since Mr. Muto is sure, let's capture Heyuan first."

"The imperial army suffered heavy losses this time and cannot gain anything at all."

"Send a telegram to Mr. Muto immediately and tell them to capture Heyuan as soon as possible. I will wait for their success report in Peiping."

"Hai!"

A Japanese officer nearby responded quickly and turned around to convey the order.

Tada Shun continued: "Immediately send telegrams to all frontline units and let them contact the headquarters directly. Future operations will be directly directed by our headquarters."

"The imperial army garrisons and various departments in central and southeastern Shanxi must make every effort to ensure the overall success of this clearing operation."

"Hai!"

The Japanese officers present responded in unison.

The front line of Heyuan County.

At this time, Colonel Muto could only bite the bullet.

The little devil's work efficiency was quite high, and he was quickly ready for battle.

Colonel Muto looked at Heyuan County and smelled the faint smell of gunpowder smoke in the air, but his mood was very complicated.

Colonel Muto gritted his teeth and said firmly: "Today, no matter what, we must capture Heyuan County."

At this time, a Japanese officer ran over, lowered his head and said: "Report to your Excellency, Colonel, that all units are ready."

"Army aviation planes have also taken off and can bomb Heyuan County."

"吆西~!"

Colonel Muto nodded slightly, feeling more confident in his heart.

Colonel Muto ordered: "Prepare artillery fire immediately to kill these bastards."

"Hai!"

A Japanese officer next to him responded quickly and then passed on the order.

Following the order from Colonel Muto, the Japs immediately concentrated all their artillery fire, aimed at Heyuan County, and began bombing.

Cannonballs flew towards the city wall one after another.

There were violent explosions and artillery fire enveloped the entire city fortifications.

Soon the Japs' planes also arrived at Heyuan County and began bombing Heyuan County.

Under the indiscriminate bombing of the Japs, the city wall of Heyuan County was damaged beyond recognition, and several places were blown down one after another.

At the same time, some targets in the city were also bombed, and fires broke out in several places.

Fortunately, the defenders in the city were well prepared and minimized the losses.

Colonel Muto looked at the scene in front of him and nodded slightly.

"Hmph~! With such a fierce bombardment, I want to see how long these damn bastards can hold on."

"Launch an attack immediately~!"

"Hai!"

Colonel Muto gave the order, and the Japs immediately launched a full-scale attack.

A large number of little devils, like a group of mad dogs, ferociously rushed toward Heyuan City.

At the same time, a large number of Eighth Route Army soldiers also ran up the smoke-filled city wall in panic.

Xing Zhiguo observed the situation on the battlefield and ordered: "Send the order, I must block the gaps everywhere. This will be the focus of the little devil's attack."

"We must not let them rush into the city."

"yes!"

A soldier next to him responded quickly and turned around to convey the order.

The little devils began to attack the city in an all-out manner. It can be seen that this time the little devils are also bastards who are determined to fight for their lives.

Now the Eighth Route Army in the city has no other choice but to fight the little devil.

Fighting soon broke out.

The soldiers guarding the position took aim at the little Japs who were getting closer and pulled the triggers one after another.

Suddenly there was a loud sound of gunfire, and dense bullets flew towards the little devil like raindrops.
