The fierce battle had already begun, and against the Japanese puppet army commanded by Kusano Rintaro, who was guarding Feixiang, Li Yunlong hit the elite of two battalions at one time and stormed the city from the south gate of Feixiang.

"The target is the south gate of Feixiang, the Japanese light and heavy machine gun fire point, ten rapid fire, prepare, release!"

Outside the south gate, behind a dirt slope a few hundred meters away, Wang Chengzhu's artillery position had been constructed, and immediately under Wang Chengzhu's command, the artillery of the command post launched a fierce artillery bombardment.

The artillery soldier who loaded the shell responded with a bang, and immediately the shell in his hand fell freely from the muzzle of the gun with the help of the jurisdiction, touched the firing pin at the bottom of the mortar barrel, and then the primer fired and collided, and the shell roared out.

"Boom, boom, boom!!!"

The shells whizzed over the heads of the soldiers of the 1st Battalion and the Independent Battalion, which were storming forward, and soon fell heavily on the top of the city, causing flames and fragments of shells flying everywhere, killing and wounding all the enemy soldiers who came their way.

At the head of Nancheng City, Feixiang, the Japanese puppet soldiers who were desperately fighting back were suddenly blown up all over the field by the cannonballs commanded by Wang Chengzhu. Although the little devil mortar with only one door in the city was also taken out to bombard, it was quickly knocked out by the artillery commanded by Wang Chengzhu.

Without the only artillery counterattack, the Japanese puppet soldiers who were defending the city were bombed crying and crying, and the Japanese puppet soldiers were hiding from the shelling back and forth at the head of the city.

"Your Excellency Squadron Leader, the south gate was heavily bombarded by Li Yunlong's artillery fire, and the defenders at the head of the city suffered heavy casualties. The first squad has been killed and wounded, and the second squad is reinforcing from the east and west gates to the south gate. But the enemy's artillery fire is too fierce, I'm afraid we won't be able to withstand it for long! Inside the castle, Lieutenant Koichi Sugimoto, the squadron adjutant of Rintaro Kusano, who was keeping an eye on the battle situation, hurried over, walked in front of Rintaro Kusano, and made a heavy pause, his eyes worried.

As soon as Li Yunlong made a fierce attack, he immediately stunned the Japanese troops in Feixiang, and the opponent's offensive was fierce, which was different from the regular army units of the Nationalist Army they had met before.

Although the regular army of the Nationalist Army also has combat effectiveness, it is also more defeated and less victorious when it encounters the Japanese army, and a Japanese squadron can almost defeat the main force of the Nationalist Army with several regiments.

However, the men and horses of Li Yunlong's new regiment of the Eighth Route Army that he met in front of him were attacking fiercely, and the tactical movements and offensive rhythm were simply the strength of elite troops.

At this time, even Koichi Sugimoto, who despised and ignored the combat strength of the Eighth Route Army, had to admit that they underestimated the combat effectiveness of the Eighth Route Army.

Kusano Rintaro frowned, the fierce gunfire at the south gate had already reached his city headquarters, and he naturally understood how strong the artillery attack of Li Yunlong's troops at the south gate was.

It's just that I didn't expect that the enemy's offensive was really too fierce, and it suddenly made Kusano Rintaro secretly frightened in his heart.

However, on the bright side, Kusano Rintaro still needed to remain calm in front of his subordinates, so he waved his hand calmly: "If you can't stand it, you have to resist it, judging from the current battle situation, the other party is mainly attacking the south gate." It is estimated that Li Yunlong also saw that the east and west gates were not conducive to the other party's siege, and if the north gate was attacked together, it would greatly disperse their siege forces. Therefore, Li Yunlong mainly attacked the south gate. Then we will also adjust the defensive strength and order some of the second and third teams stationed at the east and west gates to reinforce the south gate! By the way, you will immediately request reinforcements from the division headquarters and inform us of the situation! ”。

"Hai, Your Excellency Squadron Leader, I understand my humble duties!" Looking at Rintaro Kusano, who seemed to be very calm, Koichi Sugimoto's mood seemed to stabilize a little, and then he paused heavily.

Subsequently, Rintaro Kusano sent most of the people in the command to participate in the defense of the city. The headquarters left only a communications staff officer to keep in touch with the headquarters of the 33rd Division of the Japanese Army in Handan City at any time, and even the squadron adjutant Koichi Sugimoto was finally sent by Rintaro Kusano himself to supervise the battle and direct the defensive counterattack at the south gate.

At this time, the battle at the south gate of Feixiang had entered a white heat.

The two sides once fought in anger, especially the two elite battalions under Li Yunlong, the first battalion and the independent battalion, who stormed the south gate, and under the cover of Wang Chengzhu's artillery fire, killed and wounded most of the Japanese puppet troops guarding the south gate.

It's just that when he almost broke through the south gate, Koichi Sugimoto, the adjutant of Rintaro Kusano, rushed to the south gate to defend the city with nearly two hundred puppet troops from other directions in the city, and repelled everyone's onslaught.

"Made, the little devil is so tenacious. Order Zhang Dabiao and Zhou Hua, let go of your hands and feet, and give me a hard beating! The little devil who beat his turtle son! Order Wang Chengzhu to concentrate all mortars and shell the Japanese fire at the city head on both sides of the city gate, covering the infantry to blow up the city gate! Seeing that there was a stalemate in the battle situation, Li Yunlong adjusted his attack strategy in time and kept giving orders.

The herald who was beside Li Yunlong at any time stood up and saluted: "Yes, regiment commander!" He quickly rushed away to give the order.

The commanders and fighters of all parties who received Li Yunlong's orders adjusted their strategies one after another, and cooperated with each other to attack the city according to Li Yunlong's orders.

The first battalion and Zhou Hua brought out by Li Yunlong this time were elite infantry after dismounting, and the siege battle was already very familiar.

After Li Yunlong's siege strategy adjustment, the Japanese puppet army at the head of the city, which was hit by Wang Chengzhu's artillery fire anytime and anywhere, although with Kusano Rintaro's squadron adjutant Koichi Sugimoto personally led the troops to reinforce them. However, with Li Yunlong's personal command of the siege, the Japanese puppet army defending the city, which occupied the inferior strength, suffered nearly half of the Japanese casualties, and many soldiers of the Imperial Alliance Army took advantage of the chaos to escape from the city.

Unconsciously, the Japanese puppet army guarding the head of the south gate continued to decrease.

"Boom, boom, boom!!!"

With a few loud bangs, taking advantage of the best moment when the firepower of the Japanese puppet army at the head of the city was suppressed, Zhou Hua personally sent three or four agile soldiers to break through the firepower of the Japanese army at the head of the city and shoot them. With the help of the smoke of the battlefield, several bundles of explosives were sent to the south city gate.

With several loud bangs, the gate built by Atsugi was blasted open.

"Haha, brothers, kill me!" Zhang Dabiao, the commander of the first battalion, happened to see the city gate being blown open at this time, turned over and mounted his horse, commanded hundreds of cavalry who had already been ready, took advantage of the situation, waved his hand and shouted, and led his iron cavalry to rush into the city.

At this time, the adjutant of the Japanese squadron Sugimoto Koichi who was commanding the head of the southern city saw that there were few Japanese soldiers left around him, and most of the Imperial Alliance troops had already fled at the moment when the city gate exploded.

"Your Majesty the Emperor, onboard!" There were no extra Japanese soldiers around Koichi Sugimoto, and seeing that the south gate had been lost, he shouted loudly, and then took the Nan-style pistol in his hand and pulled the trigger at the temple to commit suicide.

And Zhang Dabiao and Zhou Hua, who took advantage of the situation to break through the south gate, led their troops directly into the city, and the panicked Kusano Rintaro had no soldiers available, and finally committed suicide by disembowelment before everyone killed his headquarters.

In less than five minutes after seizing Feixiang, Li Yunlong did not stay for long, and directly led his troops to evacuate Feixiang to the north and attack Yongnian!
