Ryotaro Sekiguchi also gasped at this time, the new regiment headquarters in the outer city of the city was indeed an elite unit. Judging from the siege posture and posture of the other party, all of them show the combat appearance of elite troops.

"Your Excellency Squadron Leader, you can only obey the orders of the commander of the Itagaki Division, and the city will be defended! Is there a request for reinforcements from the group leader? The main force of the brigade rests in the area of Liangcheng! Sekiguchi Ryotaro hurriedly whispered to Yoshikawa.

Yoshikawa Yousuke shook his head and said, "It's too late in time, and it will take at least half an hour or so for the rapid march from Liangcheng to Fengzhen." Observing the Chinese army outside the city and preparing to attack the city, it is indeed an elite force, and it is already good that our men and horses can hold for about twenty minutes. However, warn in the direction of Liangcheng! ”。

"Ha Yi, Your Excellency Squadron Leader, I understand my humble duties!" Ryotaro Sekiguchi nodded, hurriedly ran away and personally called the main force of the Japanese brigade in the direction of Ryojo.

At this time, Yoshikawa Yousuke found that Li Yunlong's department outside the city had already launched a battle captain, and it seemed that there were still artillery in place.

"Yaga!"

After cursing secretly and ordering the Japanese troops at the head of the city to prepare for a counterattack, Yoshikawa Yousuke hurriedly ran down the city and avoided the headquarters in the city to take command.

Less than a minute after Yoshikawa left, the deafening sound of cannon exploded.

"Knock knock!" The shelling of the city gate came one after another, and then, a series of violent explosions first exploded on the head of the southern city and the trenches of the puppet army outside the city near the city wall.

"Boom, boom, boom!!!"

Mortar shells of 50 mm caliber fired by Wang Chengzhu's subordinate artillery smashed overwhelmingly into the Japanese army's Nancheng head and the puppet army trenches outside Nancheng City, and these places were in the smoke of artillery fire in an instant.

The blazing shells fell heavily with the screaming sound of death into the positions of the Japanese and puppet troops. After the explosion, the fragments of the shell, mixed with the stumps and severed arms of the Japanese and puppet soldiers, flew into the sky, and then fell again.

At this time, Li Yunlong was standing less than 150 meters away from the south gate of Fengzhen, leaning against the back of a big tree, holding a telescope and looking at the Japanese position under the shelling of Wang Chengzhu, and smiled coldly.

"Order Wang Chengzhu to bombard fiercely! Let Zhang Dabiao's battalion rush forward while the Japanese puppet army at the south gate was stunned! Li Yunlong waved his hand and ordered to the herald on the side.

The herald received the order and immediately responded: "Yes, Commander! Then he ran away.

In less than half a minute, Zhang Dabiao, who had received the order, waved his hand, and the three companies of the first battalion of the command post formed a battle formation, stepped on Wang Chengzhu's artillery explosion point, and killed him.

Zhang Dabiao and Wang Chengzhu's artillery units have been cooperating for many years, and the coordination of infantry and artillery has long been familiar, and it is impossible to be familiar with it.

The artillery fire continued to be suppressed, and the soldiers of Zhang Dabiao's battalion stepped on the explosive point and killed them.

Outside the South Gate, the First Division of the Imperial Allied Army, which assisted the Japanese squadron in Fengzhen to defend the city, had only one company of less than 100 troops outside the South Gate, and evaded defense in several simple shallow trenches.

However, under Wang Chengzhu's overwhelming artillery bombardment, the puppet army outside the city was bombed with heavy casualties, and when Wang Chengzhu's shelling ended a little less than a minute, the remnants of the puppet army outside the south gate took advantage of the situation to run away.

The Japanese machine guns at the head of the city hurriedly shot and killed, but under the bombardment of Wang Chengzhu's artillery, once the Japanese machine gun fire point poured out a blazing tongue of fire, it was quickly accurately hit by the shells that looked like eyes, and turned into a pile of parts.

"Baga Ya Road! The situation is not good! The enemy artillery fire attacking the city was too fierce, report to the squadron leader that the south gate cannot be defended! At the head of the South Gate City, Lieutenant Tetsu Sano, the leader of the second squad of the first squadron of the Japanese garrison, frowned, and whispered an urgent order to a Japanese herald beside him in a trembling tone.

The Japanese herald dodged the bullets coming up from outside the city, and hurriedly responded: "Hayi, sir! Then he ran to the castle with a relaxed expression and reported the battle situation at the south gate to Yoshikawa Yousuke.

"Kill, resist, resist!" Waiting for the herald to run to report, Tetsu Sano continued to direct the Japanese counterattack.

At this time, Zhang Dabiao's troops who were besieging the city had already been under the cover of Wang Chengzhu's artillery fire, and they directly killed near the south gate.

"Demoman! Blow open the gates! Zhang Dabiao, who risked his life to arrive at the front line to command, saw that the Japanese firepower at the head of the southern city had been suppressed by his own infantry and Wang Chengzhu's artillery fire, shouted loudly, and commanded several death squads to explode explosives bags to blow up the city gate.

Soon, some people responded to the order, and a battalion of demomen of several people braved the rain of Japanese bullets at the head of the city, jumped left and moved, and quickly arrived at the south gate.

"Shhh Hiss! Hiss! ”

Under the south gate of Fengzhen, five or six bundles of explosives were stacked there, and the fuse burned and hissed.

Ten seconds later, a loud bang exploded at the city gate. The huge explosion directly shook the walls of the southern city. Tetsu Sano, the leader of the first squad of the Japanese garrison squadron at the head of the castle, who commanded the counterattack, was almost shaken by the huge shock and almost fell.

Tetsu Sano fell for a moment, and soon realized that something was wrong at the city gate.

Sure enough, soon a Japanese soldier came to report urgently, and the city gate was blown open!

"Sir, the city gate has been blown open by the Chinese army! The enemy has rushed into the city and is fighting along the ramparts! The blocking troops are desperately resisting, and they can't stand it anymore! The Japanese soldiers were terrified and reported to Tetsu Sano, and their feet trembled visibly.

It can be seen that Zhang Dabiao and Wang Chengzhu's infantry artillery coordination has taken the city gate so quickly that the Japanese troops defending the city are terrified. The Eighth Route Army besieging the city is simply a strong and elite enemy army.

Tetsu Sano risked his life to lean out of the battlements of the castle and look obliquely in the direction of the city gate outside, and was immediately terrified. And behold, the gates of the city were blown out of the city. A group of soldiers of the Eighth Route Army had already shouted and rushed into the city gate.

At this time, the shouts of killing had already come from inside the city to the head of the city, and Tetsu Sano knew that if he didn't retreat, the whole army would be wiped out.

"Damn, order all the troops to withdraw from the city, and withdraw to the city. Fight and retreat, hurry up! Tetsuki Sano ordered.

The Japanese soldiers hurriedly paused and said, "Hayi! Sir! Then hurried to the herald.

In less than half a minute, the Japanese puppet army at the head of Nancheng and outside the city was defeated by the combination of Zhang Dabiao and Wang Chengzhu. It took less than five minutes.

Soon, Yoshikawa Yousuke, who was sitting in the headquarters of the Japanese army in the city, got the battle situation near the south city gate, and his expression was suddenly not calm.

"Baga Ya Road! The new group is so strong! Yoshikawa Yousuke whispered in horror to Ryotaro Sekiguchi, the squadron adjutant.

Ryotaro Sekiguchi hurriedly said: "It's already impossible to stick to Fengzhen, the other party actually has mortars." We don't even have an infantry gun, we can't fight back, Your Excellency Squadron Leader, break through, hurry up! ”。
