The first company stopped, and the other troops and the first battalion behind also stopped.

The six heavy machine guns equipped by the two battalions were immediately lifted up and aimed at the top of the city wall.

The six mortars also raised their guns and pointed them at the city wall. As for the two infantry cannons, they were directly mounted on the road less than 200 meters behind everyone. With the help of the faint light of the city lantern, the long gun barrel was aimed at the dark city gate at the west gate of Laiyuan City.

Wang Ping followed the two infantry cannons. After confirming that the two infantry cannons were ready, Wang Ping did not hesitate and directly ordered: "Fire the cannon!"

"Boom..." Two dull gun sounds instantly came out from the long barrels of the two infantry guns, and then a ball of flame spewed out of the muzzle.

Immediately afterwards, the scream of shells passing through the sky reached Wang Ping's ears.

Two seconds later, two dazzling fireballs exploded directly after the dark city gate hole, and then two violent explosions connected together sounded in the city gate hole.

"Continue to bang, the city gate has been thrust!" Wang Ping, who was crying in the telescope, ordered loudly.

At the same time, six mortars not far ahead also fired.

Because the shooting distance was less than two hundred meters, five of the six shells with a scream directly hit the city and exploded, and one of them hit the city.

During the violent explosion, Wang Ping clearly saw that four or five Imperial Army troops were blown away in the rising fireballs.

The sudden attack scared the Imperial Army on the city wall. Several Japanese instructors were stunned at first, then shouted at the enemy's attack, yelling to order the surrounding Imperial Army to prepare for battle.

Just as they rushed to the back of the city, poked their heads out, and wanted to confirm how many enemies they had attacked.

"Dadada..." Six heavy machine guns and more than a dozen crooked handles fired.

The dense bullets flying over directly caused sparks to splash on the brick and stone walls. Many bullets passed through the shooting holes and successfully drilled into the Imperial Army's body.

"Ahhh!" A scream sounded at the top of the city along with the sound of machine gun shooting. Seven or eight people fell on the top of the city on the spot, including a Japanese instructor.

"Boom boom boom..." At this moment, the second round of shells fell from the sky and hit them and exploded.

The hot air waves and the scattered cannonballs were like the god of death, constantly reaping the lives of survivors on the city.

At the same time, a scream also reached the ears of the defenders at the top of the city.

"The city gate was blown up!"

"Nani!" The Japanese instructor who served as the deputy company commander shouted incredible expression.

Then he ordered the panicked company commander around him: "Wang Sang, order a row to block the city gate. Even if you die, you cannot let the enemy break into the city gate!"

Before the Imperial Army Commander Wang had spoken, another scream reached the ears of the two.

"Eighth Route Army, the Eighth Route Army attacked us, and they began to attack the city!"

This time, the deputy company commander of the Japanese reacted quickly and ordered on the spot: "A row will block the city gate, and the others will fight back immediately to block the Eighth Route Army's attack, and the reinforcements will arrive soon!"

Under the threat of the Japanese, more than 20 imperial troops were about to get off the city wall, and a row of bullets from the city instantly ended the lives of five people.

The others subconsciously lay on the ground, holding a rifle to fight back, not daring to show their heads.

"There are enemies in the city, so we can't rush down!" The platoon leader shouted to the company commander behind him.

Before the company commander and the deputy Japanese company commander could speak, the platoon leader in front of him came over: "The firepower of the Eighth Route Army's offensive is too strong, and the brothers have no way to counterattack!"

"No, more than a hundred Eighth Route Army troops have rushed over!"

"Use grenades, quickly use grenades to blow the Eighth Route Army outside the city back!" The company commander of the Imperial Army ordered loudly.

But at this moment, the third round of shells shot from six mortars hit, and the violent explosion drowned his orders.

Unfortunately, a shell hit them directly and exploded.

He, who was loyal to the Japanese, was instantly bombed away with the Japanese deputy company commander, and then fell to the top of the city and died.

"The company commander is dead, and the deputy company commander is dead..." Various screams filled with horror quickly spread across the city wall.

"The Eighth Route Army has rushed into the city gate. Brothers, I don't want to die and surrender to the Eighth Route Army with me!" The remaining puppet troops were all in panic and didn't know what to do. This sentence was like a life-saving straw, which suddenly made them find hope.

Then, regardless of whether the Eighth Route Army had entered Laiyuan City or not, they threw away their weapons, sat on the city wall, and waited for the Eighth Route Army to come up to accept their surrender.

"Comrades, rush into Laiyuan City and follow me!" Yang Xiong took the lead and was the first to rush into the city gate that had already opened.

At this time, not far away, the Imperial Army camp of the two companies did not know that the Eighth Route Army had entered Laiyuan City.

They were suddenly awakened by the sound of gunfire, and they still had a sleepy expression, and were urged by the officers and the Japanese instructors to bring their equipment to rush onto the city wall.

Zhong Yusheng, the commander of the guard company, who was ambushing not far from the entrance of the military camp, saw that a puppet army had already rushed out and ordered decisively.

"Shoot and stop them even if you die!"

"Baoba!" A volley of guns rang out, and seven or eight imperial troops fell at the gate of the military camp before they could react, dying with their eyes closed.

"There is an enemy at the gate of the barracks. The barracks are blocked by the enemy!" A platoon leader of the Imperial Army camp shouted in horror as soon as he rushed to the battalion commander.

"Then let's fight out. We will definitely not last long for a while. If the Eighth Route Army is allowed to enter Laiyuan City, we will all be killed!" The battalion commander of the Imperial Army commanded with a murderous look on his face.

Soon, more than 20 imperial troops rushed towards the door with reluctance amid the officers' shouts.

The guard platoon showed no mercy, and the volleyball volley went over and killed seven or eight people directly. The remaining Royal Army lay on the ground, refusing to advance no matter how the officer threatened it.

The battalion commander of the Imperial Army also knew that hard rushing was not a solution, after all, the gate of the barracks was only that big.

"Carry heavy machine guns and mortars here to eliminate the enemies that block us, hurry up!" The battalion commander ordered with a gloomy face.

"Dadada..." A Type 92 heavy machine gun fired first, and the dense machine gun firepower killed and injured five guards in the first row.

Then, a mortar was carried over by the Imperial Army.

"Boom!" An explosion sounded in the yard where the guard platoon was hiding, and five more soldiers were killed and injured.

"Comrades, please hide and block them. The main force of the regiment has entered Laiyuan City and is on the way to reinforce us!" Zhong Yusheng lowered his head and hid behind the courtyard wall and ordered loudly.

Perhaps because of the tight time, the Imperial Army stopped after only three shells.

Then a platoon of the Imperial Army rushed out under the cover of heavy machine guns.

"Shoot!" Looking at the remaining half of the soldiers beside him, Zhong Yusheng ordered with red eyes.

More than a dozen people fought against a heavy machine gun, and the result was conceivable.

Although puppet troops were constantly being beaten to death at the gate of the military camp, people in the guards were constantly being shot.

If it weren't for the fact that there were many veterans in the guards, they might have collapsed now.
