It is difficult for ordinary light and heavy machine guns to penetrate the defensive armor of armored vehicles.

Although the dense rain of bullets from the New Second Regiment killed many Japanese infantrymen who were advancing in coordination, it failed to stop the advance of the armored vehicles. Instead, many people were killed or injured under the counterattack of several vehicle-mounted machine guns.

The soldiers of the New Second Regiment did not retreat at all, but hid behind the bunker and launched a tenacious block against the advancing Japanese troops. The battle was unprecedentedly fierce.

Intense bullets flew back and forth, and people on both sides were constantly shot and injured, or died on the spot.

Kong Jie, the regiment leader who was overseeing the overall situation from the rear, quickly discovered the anomaly here. He couldn't help but frowned and cursed: "Damn it, these devils are probably trying to break out!"

The commander of the battalion next to him said: "Commander, these devils decided to break out so quickly?"

Kong Jie: "They must have learned from the experience of the Battle of Jinzhong. They know that if it is delayed for a long time, the casualties will be too great, and there will be no chance."

After a pause, Kong Jie's face became more and more gloomy: "These stupid little devils actually regard our new second regiment as a breakthrough. Do you really think that my new second regiment has been established for the shortest time and is a soft persimmon?"

Kong Jie really got it right on this point. Yoshida Yan saw that the offensive was weakest in the direction of the entrance and exit of the railway, so he chose to break out from this direction.

The first battalion commander: "Looking at the enemy's posture, the enemy should be out in force. They have at least two brigades, and they are fighting against a trapped beast. In order to survive, they will definitely unleash unprecedented fighting power.

Even if our New Second Regiment can stop it, I'm afraid we will suffer heavy losses."

Kong Jie nodded, agreed with the analysis of the first battalion commander, and said: "So, we cannot go head-to-head with this Japs."

"Pass my order, the first battalion, the second battalion, and the third battalion immediately look for suitable positions to switch from offense to defense, blocking layer by layer, weakening the Japs' strength bit by bit; at the same time, they look for opportunities to use Molotov cocktails to destroy the Japs' armored vehicles, and attack the surrounding areas bit by bit.

Retreat, make way for the Japanese, and finally surround them with the fourth battalion!"

"Fourth Battalion, immediately build a fire blockade on the city wall and blow up the rails and city walls near the railway entrance and exit!"

"yes!"

After the order was conveyed, the battalions and companies of the New Second Regiment immediately switched from offense to defense, blocking the attack at all levels.

At the same time, the fourth battalion as a reserve quickly climbed up the city wall and built the last blockade, which was also the strongest blockade.

"Boom!"

"Boom, boom!"

Accompanied by several earth-shaking explosions, several dazzling fires tens of meters high suddenly appeared near the railway entrance and exit, lighting up almost half of the sky.

When the fire dissipated, they saw that the railway track had been blown apart in the middle, leaving several terrifying craters several meters in diameter and more than half a meter deep on the ground.

The city walls on both sides also collapsed for several meters, and various bricks, stones, and rammed earth were scattered everywhere.

At that time, after a fierce battle, the Japanese breakout troops were less than 300 meters away from the entrance and exit, and were about to rush out of the city. With the sound of several explosions, their way out was completely blocked.

"Bagaya! Damn it!" Yoshida Yan was so angry that he scolded his mother directly, but he quickly calmed down.

Although the explosion just destroyed the passage of the armored vehicle, people could still pass through it, so the old devil immediately commanded the troops to launch the final attack.

For a moment, dense machine gun bullets poured towards the city wall and covered it. Large bullets hit the city wall, suddenly throwing up clusters of smoke and dust and falling downwards.

Some bullets also flew directly over the heads of the soldiers of the New Second Regiment and disappeared without a trace.

At the same time, the Japanese grenadiers also opened fire. Most of these grenades landed inside and outside the city wall, but many also landed on the city wall.

Some soldiers of the Fourth Battalion of the New Second Regiment happened to be near the impact point of the grenade. They were immediately blown away by the explosion shock wave, including their weapons and personnel, and died on the spot.

Under the cover of fire from the machine gun team and the grenade team, the Japanese infantry immediately launched a full-scale advance.

The soldiers of the fourth battalion were not used to it and opened fire decisively.

"Tu tu tu tu!"

"Da da da!--"

“Pah, pah, pah, pah!—”

The soldiers of the fourth battalion were armed with whatever they had, light machine guns, heavy machine guns, rifles, and pistols. They opened fire one after another. In an instant, they flew out like raindrops in dense numbers, pouring towards the oncoming Japanese infantry and covering them.

The fourth battalion was in a commanding position, and there was no shelter near the city wall. The Japanese soldiers of the 33rd Infantry Regiment suddenly fell down in large pieces, screaming like leeks with a knife.

At the same time, soldiers from other battalions also rushed out from everywhere and launched a crazy encirclement attack against the Japanese.

Suddenly there were gunshots and explosions.

The 33rd Infantry Regiment was eager to break out of the encirclement, but instead fell into the encirclement circle deployed by Kong Jie.

At this time, the 33rd Infantry Regiment, under the command of regimental commander Hiroshi Yoshida, actually broke out with unprecedented combat effectiveness.

They divided the two infantry brigades into two parts. One part blocked the encircled 1st, 2nd and 3rd Battalions of the New Second Regiment, and the other part launched a fierce attack on the 4th Battalion guarding the city wall...

The fierce fighting here quickly attracted the attention of the rest of the Japanese and puppet troops, as well as the regiments of the 386th Brigade.

After learning that the former enemy commander-in-chief Hiroshi Yoshida had abandoned them and led the 33rd Infantry Regiment to flee, the Japanese and puppet troops who had retreated from major strongholds were immediately demoralized and had no idea of ​​continuing to fight.

Then they all retreated toward the railway entrance and exit.

The Second Independent Regiment, the New First Regiment, the Independent Regiment and the 772nd Regiment took the opportunity to use their troops to cover up the enemy.

Looking like a wave, the Japanese army came from all directions and besieged the 1st, 2nd and 3rd Battalions of the New Second Regiment of the 33rd Japanese Infantry Regiment. In the end, due to the gap in strength, they were torn apart by the Japanese and puppet troops.

A hole was made.

Then, the massive Japanese and puppet troops joined forces with the 33rd Infantry Regiment. Under the attack regardless of casualties, they forcibly cut a hole through the street entrance and exit, and suddenly swarmed out of the city like wild dogs off their leash.

Although the Fourth Battalion of the New Second Regiment tried its best to stop them, they still allowed hundreds of Japanese and puppet troops to escape.

Just when a group of Japanese and puppet soldiers thought they had escaped, and thought they could fly as high as the sky and let the fish leap in the sea, countless tongues of fire suddenly flashed in the night ahead.

Immediately afterwards, dense bullets poured towards them like free pebbles.

At that time, the 771st Regiment and the 4th Mixed Brigade were in reserve.

After Xu Shengji and Sun Yuliang learned that the remaining Japanese troops were breaking out from the direction of the railway entrance and exit, they deployed their troops here in advance.

At this point, the Battle of Shouyang has become a one-sided massacre.

After about 10 minutes, all the Japanese and puppet troops who broke out of the city were wiped out.

Some Japanese were still hiding in the city, but they were eliminated by various regiments of the 386th Brigade.
