"Arsenal! It's not good, the enemy army wants to break through the city from the west and seize our arsenal! ”

Shigematsu Takezo quickly realized something, and said to the Japanese staff officer who ran out to report the situation, "Order the defenders of Xicheng to stand by for help!" Aono-kun, you immediately transfer all the Imperial Allied troops from the Imperial Allied Army that assisted in the garrison of the Xicheng District Arsenal, and give me reinforcements to the Xicheng City Wall, be sure to defend the Xicheng City Wall, hurry up! ”。

The Japanese staff officer and Kotaro Aono responded at the same time, "Hayi, Your Excellency Squadron Leader!" Then they left one after another.

After speaking, Shigemamatsu Takezo immediately walked back to the command room of the brigade headquarters, which was already in a hurry.

After Shigematsu Takezo stopped the disorderly confusion of the Japanese staff officers at the brigade headquarters, he immediately asked a Japanese staff officer who had received the battle situation in various places to report the current situation of the Japanese army in Laiyuan being attacked by enemy troops.

"Your Excellency the Captain, according to the report, in addition to the reinforcements requested by the defenders of Xicheng, the troops stationed at the head of the city in the direction of Nancheng, Beicheng, and Dongcheng and the Imperial Alliance Army were all attacked by the Zhina Army, and the firepower was very large. There is also heavy machine gun cover, and the defenders are in dire need of reinforcements! The Japanese staff officer immediately paused.

Shigematsu Takezo's expression immediately became serious when he heard this, in fact, the sound of guns and cannons on the battlefields everywhere had made Shigemamatsu Takezo initially think that it was a small-scale attack by the guerrillas of the Eighth Route Army in the mountains near Laiyuan, and he didn't think about it. At this time, Shigemamatsu Takezo clearly knew that the enemy troops that attacked Laiyuan this time were at least involved in the elite troops.

"Immediately call back to the Imperial Allied Army and Imperial Army troops in the direction of Dongcheng, Beicheng, and Nancheng, and be sure to defend the city wall. As long as the gates and walls are kept, our reinforcements will arrive soon! If anyone retreats without authorization, they will be killed! No toleration! Shigemamatsu Wuzao looked at the map of Laiyuan City, waved his hand and commanded calmly.

The Japanese staff officer who reported on the current battle situation saw Shigematsu Takezo's relaxed face, and he also stabilized and paused, "Hayi, Your Excellency Squadron Leader!" Humble duty understood! Then he turned around and left to convey Shigemamatsu Takesashi's order.

At this time, Laiyuan suddenly encountered a strong enemy attack, and there was artillery fire to cover the siege, which showed that the squadron attacking Laiyuan was not a strength that a local guerrilla force could have.

So, Shigematsu Takezo personally picked up the field phone in the headquarters and asked for reinforcements from the Japanese garrison in Sanshan Town, north of Laiyuan, and Feihukou, east of Laiyuan.

At this time, when Shigemamatsu Takezo dispatched troops to counterattack the attack of Li Yunlong and others.

The battle in Xicheng has entered a white-hot stage, and under the cover of Wang Chengzhu's artillery fire, the city gate of Xicheng was blown up by Wang Chengzhu's superb artillery combat skills in less than a few minutes.

Li Yunlong saw the right moment, waved his hand, and more than 100 soldiers of the new regiment and some of the local guerrilla fighters of Laiyuan in Gaoxi were scattered and shot while running with their weapons, and attacked the city from the city gate.

At this time, Laiyuan was suddenly attacked, and the people on the streets had dispersed in a hurry. The dozen puppet soldiers and a small detachment of Japanese soldiers guarding the city gate were shattered by a burst of artillery fire, and their bones were gone.

"Dada, dada!!"

During the attack, among the soldiers commanded by Li Yunlong, there were also several Czech-style light machine guns, which were set up less than 10 meters away from the city wall outside the city, and fired on the spot to suppress the counterattack of the Japanese infantry at the head of the city, and the Japanese soldiers who fought were also bitter.

"Baga Ya Road! Where did this army come from? The offense is too sharp! Hurry up and call again and ask for reinforcements from His Excellency the Squadron Leader! Otherwise, Xicheng will be lost in three minutes! Hurry up and drop! Handa Sota, the leader of the Japanese squad defending Xicheng, looked at Li Yunlong's headquarters and the guerrillas who were killing violently, and suddenly dodged the bullets fired from outside the city, and ordered a Japanese soldier beside him.

The Japanese soldier immediately paused and said, "Hayi, sir!" ”。

It's just that this unlucky devil soldier didn't run to the side to place the phone not far away, and was blown up by a mortar shell of Wang Chengzhu, and his flesh and blood were blurred, and there was less air intake.

When Sota Handa saw that the Japanese soldiers who had just ordered to request reinforcements were blown up and killed, he was immediately devastated!

"Sir, the gates have been blown open! The Chinese army has already entered the city, and now it is starting to attack along the horse road to the head of the city, what should I do? A Japanese soldier guarding the city gate escaped from Wang Chengzhu's artillery fire and hurriedly ran up to Handa Sota.

Sota Handa had already understood at this time that the enemy's combat power and firepower attacking Xicheng were too strong.

In addition, the Japanese army and the Imperial Allied Army were not strictly guarded, so I didn't expect that the enemy army would dare to suddenly attack Laiyuan City in broad daylight.

The Japanese defenders had the habit of maintaining weapons and equipment, and at this time, several mortars, grenadiers and other heavy weapons at the head of Xicheng City were pulled back to the arsenal for maintenance and repair.

At this time, at the head of Xicheng City, Handa Sota had no way to defend the head and gate of Xicheng City.

"Damn, order the remaining squad to retreat to the blocks in the city, and order the fifth company of the Imperial Allied Army to cover us and block the enemy forces attacking the city! Hurry up and drop! Handa said angrily.

The Japanese soldier bowed and said, "Hayi, sir!" He immediately ran away.

Hanta Sota braved the bullets and saw that the gate of Xicheng had been taken by Li Yunlong and others, and he could only retreat to the city under the situation of not being able to do anything, and retreat while fighting to wait for reinforcements to arrive.

Li Yunlong and others concentrated their superior forces, and recklessly, under the guidance of local guerrilla members, avoided detours, and drove their troops directly to the Japanese arsenal in the city.

Just when Li Yunlong and the others had already broken through the gate of Xicheng, the soldiers of Duan Peng's special combat team under the jurisdiction of Duan Peng, who had been ambushed around the arsenal in the city, were already ready.

"Commander, the commander has done it! Let's attack the arsenal! In the alley less than twenty meters diagonally opposite the gate of the arsenal, a soldier of the special combat team heard the fierce battle in Xicheng and whispered to Duan Peng excitedly.

Duan Peng scolded, "Special mother, stabilize it for me." Wait and see, there are quite a few enemy troops in the arsenal, and we will talk about it when they send troops to reinforce the West City Gate! ”。

Soon, less than two minutes after Duan Peng finished speaking, Kotaro Aono, who had received an order from Shigemamatsu Takesashi, quickly rushed to the arsenal with several Japanese soldiers.

"Yo Xi, the arsenal is worry-free for the time being. All the soldiers of the Imperial Association Army are concentrated, follow me to reinforce the West City Gate, hurry up! The rest of the Imperial soldiers, continue to stay in the arsenal! "Kotaro Aono ordered the Imperial Allied Army officers from the arsenal to arrive.

The Imperial Association Army, which received the order, responded and quickly gathered the soldiers of the Imperial Association Army to follow the old devil out of the arsenal and go to the direction of the West City Gate for reinforcements.

"Alright, turn the tiger away from the mountain! Brothers, give me an offensive arsenal! Duan Peng shouted!
