"Comrades, our reinforcements are on the way, hit them hard and kill them!" Zhong Yusheng shouted loudly with an ecstatic look on his face.
After entering the county seat, Yang Xiong separated a platoon and rushed towards the city. He led the company's main force and went directly to the Japanese and puppet army camp in the west of the city that posed the greatest threat to him.
Three machine guns took the lead, and the intensive firepower killed a large area of the densely packed Imperial Army troops at the entrance of the camp.
"Small artillery squad, set up the grenades for me, shoot down the puppet army's heavy machine guns and mortars, and shoot all the grenades you brought with me!" Yang Xiong, who was charging, ordered loudly.
A group of three grenades first hit the puppet army's heavy machine gun. Although it did not directly hit the heavy machine gun, it still blew up a piece of the Imperial Army.
The remaining puppet machine gunner who was still alive was frightened.
In order to survive, regardless of the battalion commander's fire suppression order, several people carried heavy machine guns and planned to move to the side.
At this time, three more grenades flew towards them.
One of the grenades hit right in the middle of them.
Several Imperial Army soldiers carrying heavy machine guns were blown over at once, and the heavy machine guns carried on their shoulders immediately fell to the ground.
"Small artillery squad, continue to fire. Use machine guns to suppress fire and drive these Imperial Alliance troops back to the barracks!" Yang Xiong continued to order.
"Boom, boom, boom..." Groups of three grenades continued to hit the crowd and exploded, causing bursts of blood. There were three crooked grenades in total, and the intensive machine gun firepower has not stopped since the shooting.
All the bullets flew towards the entrance of the camp, knocking out all the Imperial Alliance troops within the range.
Soon, a layer of corpses of the Imperial Alliance Army fell at the entrance of the camp, and a large number of corpses also fell in the yard of the military camp.
"The Eighth Route Army has entered Laiyuan City, everyone, run for your lives!" A cry full of fear rang out among the Imperial Army.
The Imperial Alliance Army, which had been in a desperate posture just now, instantly became intimidated, turned around and retreated back.
In their minds, as long as the city gate is breached, Laiyuan City will be finished.
Only a fool would go back and work for a lost Laiyuan City.
Calmly, the Imperial Army retreated, while Yang Xiong kept doing the same thing and led his troops directly to the outer wall of the military camp.
"The machine guns were loaded, the second platoon blocked the entrance to the camp, and others climbed up the wall to force the Imperial Army back to their barracks, and then shouted to force them to surrender!"
"Da da da..." The three crooked guns shot down at the Imperial Army in the yard. The Imperial Army didn't even have a bunker. As long as they continued to be in the yard, they might be hit by flying bullets at any time.
A hornet's nest.
Listening to the screams that kept ringing in his ears, the battalion commander was very heartbroken.
In the eyes of the Japanese army, they have soldiers in their hands, that is, the battalion commander. For the sake of their usefulness, they will take them seriously.
Once you have no soldiers or guns in your hands, you can be sure that the Japanese will not even look at you, but will turn around and kick you away without even frowning.
Therefore, the army and subordinates are the foundation for one's foothold in this troubled world.
In order to preserve his roots, although the Japanese around him repeatedly asked him to order his men to rush out for a decisive battle with the Eighth Route Army, the battalion commander finally chose to refuse.
"Order all troops to return to their barracks and save their lives first!"
"Baga, no one can retreat without my order!" The Japanese officer next to him drew his command sword and shouted at the battalion commander of the Imperial Association Army.
Then he ordered the company platoon leader of the Royal Association Army who was hesitating around him: "Continue to rush out, fight the Eighth Route Army, and drive them out of Laiyuan City!"
Several Japanese raised their guns, some raised their guns, and some raised their swords, threatening the Imperial Army when they launched a counterattack.
A trace of cruelty quickly flashed across the battalion commander's face, and then he quickly pulled out the Mauser pistol hanging from his waist, loaded the bullet, and pulled the trigger at the rear of several Japanese.
"Bah bang bang..." Amidst a series of intensive gunshots, the four Japanese soldiers showed a look of astonishment on their faces, and then fell to the ground with the unwillingness and despair before death.
"You stupid little devil, why didn't you rush out? You didn't regard the lives of your brothers as human lives at all!" The battalion commander, who was still angry after killing the Japanese, continued to curse.
Then he continued to shout to his equally astonished subordinates: "What are you still doing? Are you waiting to die? Return to the barracks quickly, it's important to save your life!"
More than a hundred Imperial Army soldiers reacted immediately, fearing that they would be hit by bullets from behind if they took a step too late, and rushed into the barracks.
At this time, the remaining two companies of the Second Battalion also entered Laiyuan City. Hearing the gunfire from the direction of the military camp becoming more and more intensive, the Second Battalion Commander Zhang Yunshan immediately ordered: "The guard platoon will bring a mortar and a heavy
Machine gun reinforcement company 1, others follow me to attack the Japanese and puppet army ammunition depot in the west of the city, comrades, charge with me!"
The explosions and gunshots that suddenly rang out in the west of the city were particularly harsh at night and clearly reached the ears of everyone at the Japanese headquarters in Laiyuan City.
Everyone's first reaction was disbelief, and then they fell into unprecedented shock.
"It's infantry artillery. The west side of the city was bombarded by infantry artillery!" The artillery staff reacted first out of professional habit.
"There are also mortars, at least five. General, the west side of the city was attacked by at least one artillery battery!"
Ono finally recovered from the shock and shouted to the staff in front of him: "What are you still doing? Contact the garrison in the west of the city immediately. Who is attacking our Laiyuan City!"
Soon, a communications staff officer put down the phone and reported: "General, the phone contact has been interrupted. The communications troops have been dispatched. I believe the news will come back soon."
"Baga, send someone over immediately!" Ono cursed loudly!
After waiting anxiously for nearly five minutes, a Japanese soldier with a face full of smoke rushed in.
"Sir, the west of the city is being attacked by the main force of the Eighth Route Army. They have already entered Laiyuan City!"
"What do the troops stationed in the west of the city do for food? Why don't they fight back!" Ono almost didn't believe his ears, then he stared at the soldiers in front of him and roared loudly.
"It's over, it's all over! The Eighth Route Army's artillery fire was too strong, and the troops collapsed before they had time to deploy!"
"The Eighth Route Army that has entered the city is attacking the garrison barracks in the west of the city and the ammunition depot in the west of the city. Please sir, please send the Imperial Army over immediately for reinforcements. There is only the Imperial Alliance Army in the west of the city, and it will definitely not be able to stop the Eighth Route Army's attack!"
"Have you figured out which army the Eighth Route Army is?" Xiao Zhi suddenly had a very bad premonition and stared at the other party and asked.
"I don't know yet, the Eighth Route Army uniforms are all the same!" the soldier quickly replied.
After waving the soldiers to leave, Xiao Yema stepped up and ordered: "The patrol troops will immediately concentrate on the west of the city to reinforce the west of the city. They must block the Eighth Route Army's attack and drive them out of Laiyuan City if possible!"
"Chief of Staff, two squadrons will be transferred from the headquarters to reinforce the west of the city. The artillery brigade will provide artillery support at any time! Seize the time and we must not let the enemy gain a foothold in the west of the city!"
