The scream of artillery shells streaking across the sky suddenly sounded outside Linfen City!
"Boom boom boom..."
Before the little devils guarding the city could react from the shock, a violent explosion rang in their ears!
"Baga, it's an artillery attack, and it's also a mountain artillery attack. Someone must want to attack Linfen!" The Japanese squadron leader guarding the city was frightened, but he still responded quickly.
"All troops enter the position and start fighting!"
"Contact the headquarters immediately and ask for reinforcements~ The Eighth Route Army just destroyed the city gate with two cannons. There was a small group of imperial troops inside the city gate tower. The Eighth Route Army was completely destroyed without even seeing its shadow. The remaining two small groups must be able to withstand it.
Can't stand the enemy's attack!"
The sudden sound of gunfire outside Linfen City alarmed the entire Linfen City. People who didn't know what was going on quickly locked their doors, fearing that they and their families would be affected by the fighting.
At the puppet army station, Captain Huang, who had just returned, looked excited.
As a former veteran, he immediately heard that the Eighth Route Army attacking the city outside the city was equipped with at least one battalion of mountain artillery!
Although the Japanese had left a field artillery brigade in the entire Linfen City, there were only twelve of them, and they were no match for the Eighth Route Army in terms of numbers alone.
At this time, Captain Huang's inner worries were completely gone, and he chased Yuan Guoqing and asked: "Captain Yuan, what should we do next?"
"The battalion in your hands, plus the four companies I control, cannot wait here for the main force to enter the city!"
"And I, Huang Shengwu, since I have decided to fight with your Eighth Route Army, I can't go empty-handed, I must have a meeting gift!"
Yuan Guoqing, who came from the direct team, frowned and said nothing.
Staring at the Linfen City defense map in front of him, he analyzed: "Now that the Japanese military headquarters has been captured by us, the biggest threat to us in the city is the Japanese field artillery brigade!"
"There are more than 400 little Japs in the field artillery brigade. Let's go to the field artillery brigade and kill them!"
"Okay!" Huang Shengwu replied with excitement.
"Although there are more than 400 little Japs there, they are all artillerymen and heavy troops. There are not even a hundred of them equipped with self-defense weapons!"
"In addition, we are still wearing the clothes of the Japs. The Japs don't know that we have turned around and can easily enter their artillery position and catch them off guard!"
"Just do it, Captain Yuan, we will organize our troops to kill them now!"
On the city wall, cannonballs were thrown from outside the city as if they were free, and subordinates were constantly blown away and then landed outside the city!
The squadron leader saw it and was anxious in his heart!
"Bageya Road, haven't you contacted the headquarters yet? When will the reinforcements arrive? If there are no reinforcements, our few troops will be blown up!"
A second lieutenant rushed over with panic on his face: "Sir, we can't contact the headquarters. The phone line from the city wall to the headquarters must have been damaged!"
"The Eighth Route Army intelligence personnel must have done it on Bageya Road. Every time there is a critical moment, they will show up to cause trouble. They are all a bunch of bastards and shameless people!"
After scolding him, he ordered with a sullen face: "If you can't reach me by phone, send someone over!"
"I want reinforcements now. Without reinforcements, we can't hold on for even an hour!"
"Also, we need artillery support and a large number of light and heavy machine guns to strengthen our firepower. Please ask the command headquarters to open the arsenal and send us all the light and heavy machine guns in stock. The Eighth Route Army's offensive firepower is really too fierce!"
The two communication soldiers quickly left the city head during the shelling break and rushed into the city!
“Boom, boom, boom… da da da…”
Suddenly, a burst of gunfire mixed with a large number of explosions was heard in Linfen City, and the firelight rising into the sky almost illuminated the area.
The squadron leader who had just calmed down was startled, and a bad premonition rushed into his heart.
"That seems to be the station of the Field Artillery Battalion... yes, that's the Field Artillery Battalion. It's over, the Field Artillery Battalion must have been attacked!"
"Sir, the Eighth Route Army has begun to attack!" Before he could react from the shock, the anxious and frightened voices of his subordinates had already sounded in his ears.
"Get into position and prepare to fight!"
The squadron leader simply forgot about the attack on the field artillery brigade, drew out his command knife and rushed behind a city stamp a few meters away.
With the help of the firelight generated by the explosion on the battlefield, it was faintly possible to see the densely packed Eighth Route Army rushing towards the city.
"Shoot, shoot all weapons, be sure to stop them!" Facing the few subordinates, any tactics and tactics pale in comparison to a powerful opponent. If you want to defend the city, you can only cause as much damage to the opponent as possible.
The casualties are too much for them to bear!
"Da da da... bang bang bang!"
In an instant, the city was enveloped in dense gunfire.
The only thing that made the squadron leader feel fortunate was that in order to avoid accidental damage, the Eighth Route Army's mountain artillery outside the city had stopped shelling.
Just when his nerves relaxed, the explosion that made him feel scared and frightened sounded again, and it was not far from him.
The explosion was not as loud as the mountain artillery shells, but because the subordinates were squatting behind the shooting holes, there was no cover. The sudden shells overturned a dozen soldiers, and a light machine gun and the machine gunner were directly involved.
He was blown off the city wall!
"BaGeYa Road, it's a mortar!" the squadron leader made a judgment with a stern face.
However, the Eighth Route Army's siege troops were attacking. Even though he knew that artillery shells were raining down from the sky, he could not issue an order to avoid the shelling. Instead, he ordered his men to continue shooting at the attacking troops outside the city despite the artillery fire.
"Boom boom boom~"
The explosions became more and more intensive, and soldiers were constantly being killed.
There are fewer and fewer subordinates within the squadron leader's visual range who can still fight.
Seeing the Eighth Route Army advancing closer and closer, while the firepower being fired around them became increasingly sparse, the squadron leader's face slowly became desperate.
Just then, the shelling stopped.
Fortunately, the squadron leader also knew that the offensive and defensive battle in front of him had reached the most critical moment!
"Get your grenades ready. Throw them out when the Eighth Route Army comes. Throw all the grenades to me and blow them away!"
"Sir, reinforcements are coming!" At this moment, a voice crying with joy suddenly sounded from behind. When he turned around, he saw a group of imperial troops rushing up, at least an infantry squad!
"The city wall is defended!" the squadron leader secretly shouted in his heart.
However, before his tense nerves had time to relax, a scene that left him stunned appeared.
"Da da da... bang bang bang..."
After the city walls dispersed, the imperial troops who had just rushed up were not able to rush up and shoot at the Eighth Route Army outside the city. Instead, they raised their pistols, rifles, and submachine guns to shoot at their own people behind the shooting holes.
The squadron leader didn't react at first, but when he saw more than 20 pistols among the more than fifty imperial troops, and they were all Mauser pistols, the squadron leader suddenly understood everything.
I was fooled myself.
The imperial troops who rushed up were all fake.
It is impossible for an infantry squad in the real Imperial Army to be equipped with so many pistols. Even if there are so many pistols, they are made by the Empire, not Mauser pistols made by Germany!
However, he had no chance to speak. Three bullets pierced his chest and killed him!
