Outside the south gate of Qin County, Sasaki, with his aunt's scarf wrapped around his head, took the lead, waving his command sword and moving forward quickly.

"Onboard..." Behind him, the other officers of the squadron also followed suit, wearing turbans on their heads and white shirts, waving command knives and moving forward.

"Onboard..." Some elite Japanese soldiers hung plaster flags on their bayonets and strode forward with their bayonets pointed out.

"Onboard..." The remaining Japs, whether they were elites or ordinary soldiers, also launched an attack in the direction of the city gate.

Ce ce ce... Ce ce ce... The many crooked machine gunners mixed in the team wrapped the barrels of their guns with a piece of leather, and then fired into the air with their light machine guns. The whizzing bullets kept hitting Qin.

On the city wall of the county.

"Hit me, hit me hard... grenades, mortars, explode, blast hard..." Liu Chunsheng covered his head with one hand while shouting loudly, waving the Black Star pistol in his free hand.

"Company commander, be quiet, be quiet, I'm going to stop your bleeding!" The health soldier beside him shouted loudly.

"Go save others, I'm fine... hit hard, precision shooters, quickly kill the Japanese machine gunners..."

"This is the enemy's onboard charge. This is the last resort for the Japanese! Comrades, prepare..." The gunners of the shotgun crew stuck the shotgun barrel out of the crenel, waiting for the opportunity to fire. Still

Not to mention, the comrades in the arsenal are pretty good. They even thought of assembling the shotgun with bulletproof plates.

On the crenel, the firepower of the Second Company was still at full range. Just after a round of grenade bombing, more than twenty people were injured or killed on the city wall. However, everyone was not scared away, but took over the machine guns from the hands of their fallen comrades.

, move the wounded to one side and continue firing.

The Japanese charged on board and had to be beaten down! Some of the wounded, resisting the pain, leaned against the city wall, supported the butts of their guns with their bodies, and tried hard to pull the triggers. Of course, this also ushered in the call of the health workers.

He scolded angrily, but still couldn't stop them from shooting.

"Pah...pah..." Gunshots were fired one after another, causing the crooked machine gunners who were mixed in the Japanese team to be killed one after another.

"Chirp, chirp, chirp...boom, boom, boom..." Some grenadier soldiers of the 2nd company were still bombing the enemy's front line. They were afraid that there were still Japanese grenadier soldiers who were not dead. Now, they can carry out bombardment on them.

The direct damage is caused by the Japanese grenade, which must be destroyed.

"Such a dense concentration of Japs... aim at a place 200 meters away, explode and fire three rounds at a very rapid rate..." Wang Ren Yuanhe was also shouting at this moment.

These shouts and the sound of guns and cannons mixed together into a battle song on the city wall, a song of killing the enemy.

"Boom, boom, boom... boom, boom, boom..." The little devil really braved the artillery fire and advanced this time. The 82-forced artillery shells were shot down at high speed, and the area was cleared one by one.

But more Japanese soldiers continued to rush forward without hesitation, not caring that their comrades around them were dying or wailing.

"Kill... rush into the city and kill..." This is the belief of the Japanese.

"Boom, boom, boom..." At this time, the shotgun on the city wall finally rang. The gunners fired a shot, pulled the bolt directly, and then slapped the ammunition row to put a new shell into the barrel, and then

Raising the bolt...boom, another cannon blasted out.

One shot after another, the barrage formed by countless steel balls and iron sand once again covered the ground outside the south gate.

This time, the Japs still ignored the barrage that was as dense as raindrops, and still rushed forward with their guns in hand.

The Japs' spirit of not being afraid of death made the soldiers on the city wall feel a little bit of admiration, a little bit of shock, a little bit of... pleasure! Yes, it was just pleasure, the Japs were not good birds.

The more we die, the happier we will be.

So, in unison, everyone started shooting faster, and some soldiers even took grenades in their hands, pulled them and threw them away.

That's right, the Japanese are now within 100 meters, and the grenade explodes, just in time...

I have to say that the brainwashing training of the little devils is really powerful! For example, in this onboard charge, the devils have such a belief that they are rushing forward despite death... Of course, this is just a squadron.

In a few years, the Japs' onboard charges will shock the jaws of the Japanese soldiers.

"Quick, quick, charge...board..." Sasaki is not dead yet! Such an obvious target for bullets has actually arrived here.

Seeing that the city gate was just a few dozen meters away, Sasaki didn't care about anything else and led the Japanese troops to swarm forward. At this time, the Japanese team was already sparse. There were only 180 people at the beginning, but now there were only 6

, about 70.

"Onboard..." Seeing victory in sight, the Japanese thought that if they rushed into the city, they could start a street fight with the Eighth Route Army, and their morale was even higher.

I should mention here that just one day ago, Qin County was still the territory of the Japanese. There were many Japanese soldiers from the 222nd Regiment wandering around Qin County. So they were quite familiar with the terrain of this county. This is why the Japanese dared to follow the Eighth Route Army.

The reason for street fighting in the city.

Of course, the premise is that they can actually rush into the city and occupy a place without any accidents.

However, if nothing unexpected happens, accidents will always happen.

Just when the Japanese soldiers, bayonets drawn, avoided wave after wave of blockades, and finally reached the city gate cave, they suddenly discovered that the city gate cave that could directly see Nanmen Street was blocked at some point.

.

What blocks the city gate opening is not something else, but a row of sandbag walls across the north side of the gate opening. Of course, the sandbag wall is nothing, the key is what is placed on the sandbag wall: one on the left and one on the right

There are two Min-24s equipped with bulletproof shields, with two machine guns in the middle to assist them, and a shotgun with a thick barrel in the middle.

Then, the Japs who swarmed to the city gate hole and had avoided the fire on the city wall found the soldiers behind the sandbag wall grinning. Then...boom boom boom...ta da da...boom...

The six to seven meter wide city gate hole has now become a hell for the Japs! Amidst the roar of civilians, strings of bullets flew towards the enemy group. One bullet penetrated a Japs and still had some energy left.

Penetrate another Japanese enemy; the firepower of the continuous machine gun is slightly weaker, but the rate of fire is not slow at all. The bullets roar towards the city gate hole, and any flesh that dares to appear in front of the bullets will be shattered by them.

Of course, there is also the shotgun in the middle. It only takes one shot, and then the iron sand and steel balls it shoots out directly cover the entire city gate hole.

Less than half a minute had passed before Liu Qiusheng's shout rang out from the sandbag wall: "Stop shooting and clean the battlefield..."

Nothing can stop the Japs' yearning for death. With the Japs' fearless spirit, a massive onboard charge ended with the last dozens of Japs being smashed into pieces in the city gate...

"Baga Ya Road..." Captain Edogawa held up his binoculars and looked at this scene. In the end, he couldn't hold back and finally cursed again.

"Why... the Central Army we encountered was so vulnerable? Why was the Eighth Route Army we encountered so powerful? Why on earth is this? Ah..." Edogawa howled as if he had lost his mind.

He screamed, but no one of the Japanese around looked at him.

The Japanese soldiers' morale was extremely low at the moment, and they were all thinking about their next fate.

"Captain, we..." the chief of staff of the brigade finally asked.

"Defense, defense, don't attack anymore...just defend..." Edogawa finally did not give the order to retreat.

"The communications troops...go and deliver the order: stick to their respective positions and retreat at night."

"Alas...we can't win here..." At the same time, Naoyuki Kuzuzuki also issued a retreat order at the wing headquarters.

Yes, Kuzuki Naoyuki finally knew that the Watanabe Squadron he had high hopes for had been annihilated. He was at his wits end, and there was no hope of attacking. How could he defend?

There is no need to defend to the death, because if the Eighth Route Army wants to continue to attack south, it will not establish a defense line in Qin County... Of course, Naoyuki Kuzuzuki knows that the strategic purpose of the Eighth Route Army is to destroy the railway, and there is no way to go south in Qin County

Railway and Route 8 will not come here either.

Soon, the order to retreat came to Edogawa. Edogawa looked at the numerous Japanese corpses scattered outside the city wall, then looked at the corpses that had been rescued and placed behind the position, and finally said nothing.

Turned around and entered the shell-proof hole on the side.

There are still more than 400 Japanese soldiers in his brigade, but three of the four main infantry squadrons have been lost. The remaining squadron is still half disabled! And among the more than 100 Japanese soldiers, there are more than 100 Japanese soldiers.

It's hurtful.

These wounded come from artillery squads, heavy machine gun squadrons, wounded soldiers from four infantry squadrons, and other arms injured by artillery fire. For example, communication troops, such as baggage troops, such as cooking troops, etc. The wounded cannot fight.

It still needs personnel to take care of it, so Edogawa is considering the issue of retreat.

A moment later, Edogawa delivered an order from the artillery hole: "The wounded who can still move will move closer to the main position of the regiment in batches."

Yes, this is the issue of retreat. Send the wounded down first, and the rest can retreat faster. Because they are still within the artillery bombardment range of the Eighth Route Army, they must think carefully when retreating.

Just fine.

Soon, the wounded Japanese soldiers who received the order began to take action. Those with injured arms hung their arms, and then they came out of the trenches in groups of two or three and slowly moved towards the regiment position behind. Each time

There was a distance of fifty or sixty meters between groups of wounded soldiers.

"What are you guys doing here? Retreat? Company commander, what's going on?" someone asked Liu Chunsheng, who had a bandage on his head.

"Oh, these are the Japs evacuating the wounded... It's really inhumane. It's too cruel to let the wounded go by themselves... Tsk, tsk..." Liu Chunsheng said while holding up the binoculars.

"Second Company Commander, do you want to blow them up? Can't you just let these Japs go? Don't forget how the Japs did to our wounded, pouring gasoline on them and burning them alive, pretending

Throw them into sacks and drown them in the river, let wolf dogs bite them to death... these beasts cannot be let go!" Wang Renyuan said.

"Stop! Attention all snipers and precision shooters, shoot freely and leave no enemy behind! Signal soldiers, go and transfer the snipers and precision shooters from the 1st and 3rd companies. The 17th regiment also said that they want to come up and practice.

All those who are good at marksmanship, come here!" Liu Chunsheng shouted.

"Yes...Survival Company Commander, our company commander mobilized your company's snipers and precision shooters to come up..." The communications soldier ran downstairs, shouting as he ran.

At this time, the snipers and precision shooters of the second company also picked up their guns, aimed their sniper scopes at the Japanese's wounded, and quickly pulled the triggers.

Amidst the crackling gunfire, the wounded Japanese fell down one by one. Some of the wounded Japanese who saw the opportunity quickly found a place to lie down and slowly crawled forward.

The wounded Japanese soldiers knew that they were already more than 500 meters away from the city wall. As long as they moved forward more than 200 meters, they would be safe. How could the Eighth Route Army's guns shoot so far? Their marksmanship was not good either...

However, these wounded people did not know that the Eighth Route Army had something called the Ma Sihuan sniper rifle. This gun is equipped with a 4x scope, which can ensure extremely accurate shooting accuracy within 800 meters.

Therefore, the more than 20 wounded soldiers that the Japs initially transferred to the wing headquarters eventually all died on the way.

And then... On the city walls of Qin County, snipers and precision shooters swarmed in, waiting there, waiting for the wounded Japanese soldiers to come out of the offensive position and move them. A group came out and killed a group until the Japanese soldiers came again.

I didn't even dare to come out.

Not only did the Japanese dare not come out and move, but even the Japanese who were attacking the position carefully hid their bodies in the trenches as much as possible. Or they simply stayed in the artillery holes and did not come out.

"Why don't we launch an attack? There aren't many Japs left, right?" Liu Qiusheng approached his elder brother again and said.

"Alas..." Liu Chunsheng looked at his younger brother: "It's not necessary. Attacking is not good for us, and our strategy has already won. However, we can't let the Japs idle... Platoon Commander Wang, you have brought red cannonballs."

Right? How many are there for the Japanese?" Liu Chunsheng asked.

"Okay... If you didn't tell me, I would have forgotten all these treasures!" Wang Renyuan said immediately.

Soon, the four 82-guns of the artillery platoon were ready, and a total of eight red artillery shells were fired into the Japanese position, and the pepper smoke began to disperse.

"Ahhhh...cough cough cough..." Well, it seems that the little devils don't have gas masks, and they are all smoked up.

Then, some Japs who couldn't stand it ran out desperately, as if to escape from this deadly environment. However, what waited for them were the eager eyes of snipers and precision shooters. Of course, there were also scorching bullets.

Finally, the effect of the pepper smoke wore off, and the Japanese who had resisted to escape hid in the offensive position and coughed desperately, thankful to have escaped.

Then, late at night, the Japs were languishing in the trenches and the Eighth Route Army soldiers held fast in their positions. During this period, there was no more fighting between the two sides.
