"Yo Xi, our reinforcements are coming, everyone, hold on!" The Japanese outpost outside the east gate, the attack in the past half hour has already caused more than half of their losses. The team leader looked at the Eighth Route Army approaching closer and closer, and he was already in despair.
.However, the arrival of reinforcements behind him made him see hope again, his eyes lit up, and he shouted loudly.
More than a hundred Japanese and puppet troops joined the battle. In particular, a heavy machine gun and four light machine guns brought by the Japanese army suddenly opened fire, suppressing the offensive of the attacking troops at once, and then had to leave several corpses behind.
, and retreated in great embarrassment.
The Japanese lieutenant who had just entered the post, his eyes lit up and he ordered: "Yoshi, the opportunity to counterattack has come!"
"Light and heavy machine gun cover, the troops rush out and kill the Eighth Route Army that just attacked us... kill them!"
The lieutenant drew out his command knife, pointed the blade forward, and dozens of Japanese soldiers rushed out of the outpost with rifles with bayonets in their hands.
The light machine gunner held the machine gun in his arms and fired while charging.
The puppet troops also rushed out of the post amidst the shouts of the officers and the Japanese supervising team, and followed the Japanese to pursue the retreating Eighth Route Army troops.
In less than a minute, they rushed out a hundred or two hundred meters and killed and wounded more than a dozen Eighth Route Army soldiers. Their own casualties were almost zero.
More importantly, they reduced the distance of more than 100 meters between themselves and the retreating Eighth Route Army troops to 60 to 70 meters.
As long as we rush forward and continue to shorten the distance to thirty or forty meters, the Eighth Route Army in front of us will not be able to escape.
At this moment, the Eighth Route Army gathered in front of them suddenly split into two and spread out on both sides, and then a row of bunkers piled with sandbags appeared in front of them.
"Baga, it's a light and heavy machine gun, we've been fooled!" the Jaap lieutenant who led the team suddenly changed his face and exclaimed subconsciously.
"Da da da!"
As soon as he finished speaking, before his subordinates had time to react, intensive machine gun fire sounded from the front position.
Three heavy machine guns and seven or eight light machine guns fired at the same time. Nearly ten easy and thin machine gun flames of different thicknesses intertwined with each other to form an airtight bullet net, rushing towards them.
"Ah... Baga!"
Soon, various screams sounded in the lieutenant's ears.
The twenty or so Japanese who rushed at the front were caught off guard and beaten into pieces on the spot.
The Japs behind quickly fell to the ground, and then tried to retreat under the command of the lieutenant.
However, the airtight bullet net above their heads gave them no chance to even raise their heads, let alone turn around and retreat.
In order to survive, they could only lie on the ground staring at the bullets, crawl forward, and retreat bit by bit.
But at this moment, the lieutenant discovered in despair that the Eighth Route Army twice as many as his own had suddenly appeared next to the Eighth Route Army machine gun position in front of him. Under the cover of light and heavy machine guns, they rushed towards the two wings of the army, as if they wanted to surround themselves and annihilate them all.
The posture here.
"Woooooooo..."
Suddenly, a series of screams sounded above his head, making him even more desperate.
Three shells passed over them and hit the post directly behind them. In the violent explosion, three fireballs rose into the sky.
A heavy machine gun that had been spitting out flames just now to cover his retreat suddenly went silent.
"It's over!" These two words flashed directly into the lieutenant's mind, and then his face turned pale.
"Sir, we are surrounded!" the second lieutenant who rushed out with the lieutenant shouted with fear on his face.
"Bageya Road, I saw it. This was a conspiracy of the Eighth Route Army. We were fooled!" the pale-faced lieutenant replied in a trembling voice.
Then with the last glimmer of hope, he ordered: "Compared with firepower, we are no match for the Eighth Route Army. We can only fight with them with bayonets and strangle together to render the light and heavy machine guns they are equipped with ineffective. Then we can break out and fight with bayonets for a day!"
"
"Hi!" The second lieutenant agreed with this order and answered without hesitation.
Soon, the Eighth Route Army surrounding them came over, and the second lieutenant also gave the order to prepare for a bayonet fight.
But the encircling Eighth Route Army did not give them this chance at all. During the encirclement process, rifles and pistols were all fired into the encirclement to greet them.
Many Japanese soldiers held rifles with fixed bayonets in their hands, ready to wait for the Eighth Route Army to rush closer, and then they would fight with the Eighth Route Army. Bullets flying from all directions directly drilled bloody holes in their backs.
Soon, only a few dozen Japs were left in the encirclement. More than a hundred puppet troops, except those who were killed, all surrendered.
"The troops continue to attack, capture the outpost, and then fight all the way to the east gate and prepare to attack the city!" the leading company commander ordered with excitement on his face.
At the Japanese garrison headquarters in the county, after the reinforcements left the city, as time passed little by little, Major Hepburn's bad feeling became stronger and stronger.
Especially when the gunshots outside the city suddenly intensified and were mixed with many explosions, this bad premonition became even stronger.
"Sir, something happened!" Suddenly, a frightened voice sounded outside the door, and then a communications soldier rushed in.
"The troops who went out of the city to counterattack at the east gate were surrounded by the Eighth Route Army. The troops were completely wiped out and the outpost was also occupied by the Eighth Route Army. They have already reached the east gate and are blocking the east gate with firepower!"
Before the stunned Major Hepburn could react, another communications soldier rushed in.
"Sir, the reinforcements sent out by the North Gate are finished...and the outpost is finished too!"
In just two minutes, Major Hepburn received news that four outposts had been occupied by the Eighth Route Army.
Compared with his solemn expression, the face of the adjutant who proposed to send troops to reinforce the outpost had turned pale. In just a few minutes, not only the outpost was lost, but also the more than 600 Japanese and puppet troops who left the city were gone.
Before the attacking troops of the Eighth Route Army reached the outside of the city, they used a trick to kill more than a thousand defending troops.
The garrison in the city, plus the special agents and security forces, only totaled 2,000 people, and more than half of them were removed at once. He didn't know how to fight the next battle to defend the city, let alone what the captain would do.
How would I scold myself...
"Boom boom boom..."
Suddenly, a series of explosions from the east gate woke the two people up. Then the headquarters phone rang.
Less than half a minute later, the second lieutenant who answered the phone reported: "Sir, at least one battalion of the Eighth Route Army is attacking the east gate... They are equipped with a large number of light and heavy machine guns, and they also have three mortars and two infantry guns to cooperate with them.
!”
"We only had one small team and one company of puppet troops on the city wall. The Eighth Route Army's attack was too sudden, and there were artillery. The troops were caught off guard, and more than a third of the troops were already injured!"
Major Hepburn immediately reacted: "Draw out a small team to reinforce the east gate!"
"Order the artillery squadron to counterattack immediately. First kill the Eighth Route Army artillery unit outside the east gate, and then reinforce the infantry!"
The second lieutenant who conveyed the order had just left when violent explosions were heard from the west gate, south gate, and north gate.
Major Hepburn's face also turned pale at this time.
Because, amidst the violent explosions, he heard the sound of infantry artillery shells exploding. This meant that the Eighth Route Army attacking him had more than two infantry artillery pieces, not to mention a much larger number of mortars!
