Liu Hong hurriedly took the telegram, read it carefully, frowned slightly, and seemed to be thinking about something.

Bai Ling asked curiously, "Does the headquarters have any new instructions?" ”

Liu Hong replied with a serious face: "The headquarters orders us to fully assist the Seventh Independent Brigade, and if possible, find a way to meet them to break through. ”

"Breakout?" Zhao Lei frowned and said: "Actually, tonight is the best time to break through, but it's a pity that those people in the city were frightened by the little devils, and they didn't even dare to go out of the city gate. ”

Liu Hong shook his head and said: "Things are not as simple as you think, even if just now, we defeated the little devils in Dongcheng, and the troops in the city can't break out." ”

"Why?" Zhao Lei asked with a frown.

Liu Hong said helplessly: "Because they were not ready to break through before, the fierce battle was in full swing, and the troops on both sides were strangled together, even if they wanted to, they couldn't withdraw, let alone break out." ”

"And now?" Bai Ling asked with a frown.

"Now?" Liu Hong's brows furrowed even deeper, he thought about it seriously, and said: "Now it is even more difficult to break through, the little devil is determined to eliminate the Seventh Independent Brigade, in this way, unless the Yamazaki detachment can be completely defeated, the Seventh Independent Brigade will definitely be finished." ”

After hearing this, the people present couldn't help but fall into silence.

Liu Hong pondered for a while, and then said: "There is no other way now, but to wait until tomorrow when the opportunity is taken." ”

……

Early the next morning, Yamazaki Yusuke looked at the breakfast in front of him, although it was his favorite food, but Yamazaki Yusuke didn't have the slightest appetite, and he couldn't eat a bite.

The Independent Seventh Brigade in Hengshui City, as well as Liu Hong's martial arts team, made Yamazaki Yusuke feel like a fish in his throat, and he was naturally tasteless.

Yusuke Yamazaki stared at the food in front of him, as if he was in a daze, but in fact, all he was thinking about was how to eliminate the Martial Arts Brigade and the Seventh Independent Brigade.

At this time, Tanaka Nakasa hurriedly walked in, bowed his head respectfully and said, "Your Excellency General, Your Excellency the Commander is in a hurry." As he spoke, he respectfully handed over a telegram in his hand.

Yamazaki Yusuke woke up suddenly, and hurriedly reached out to take the telegram, read it carefully, and couldn't help frowning.

After a while, Yusuke Yamazaki put the telegram on the table.

Tanaka Nakasa had read the telegram before, so he naturally knew the content of the telegram, and hurriedly comforted: "Your Excellency the general don't worry, today the imperial army will definitely be able to take Hengshui and eliminate the rebels in the city." ”

As if he hadn't heard Tanaka Nakasa's words, Yamazaki Yusuke said with a serious face: "Tanaka-kun, Your Excellency the Commander is very disappointed in us, and he severely reprimanded us in the telegram, and demanded that we must take Hengshui within one day and completely annihilate the rebels. Otherwise, I will have to kill myself to thank His Majesty the Emperor. ”

"Hello! He thought that the rebels in the city had suffered heavy losses, and there was not much combat strength left, and one day was enough. Tanaka Nakasa said hurriedly.

Yamazaki Yusuke said with a calm expression: "Actually, it's no wonder Your Excellency the commander, we are really too incompetent, dealing with a rebel army, causing such heavy casualties, and fighting for so long, we haven't been able to take Hengshui, I am ashamed of His Majesty the Emperor." ”

"Hello!" Tanaka Nakasa responded, and for a while he didn't know what words to say to comfort, so he could only remain silent.

Ryosuke Yamazaki smiled and asked, "Tanaka-kun, do you think I did something wrong?" ”

Tanaka Nakasa hurriedly replied: "I think that His Excellency the General has done a good enough, and the blame is only on those hateful people, especially that damn Liu Hong and his martial arts team." ”

Yamazaki Yusuke said with a wry smile: "Forget it, don't talk about it." You're right, one day is really enough. ”

"Hello! Under the wise leadership of His Excellency the General, those hateful rebels will soon be wiped out. Tanaka said respectfully.

"Yo Xi!" Yamazaki Yusuke nodded with satisfaction, and then asked, "Are the troops ready?" ”

Tanaka Nakasa hurriedly replied: "Report to Your Excellency General, all units are ready to attack, just wait for His Excellency General's order, my heroic Imperial Japanese Army can set foot on the Balance Water Castle." ”

"Yo Xi!" Yamazaki Yusuke smiled and nodded, and after getting up and dressing up, he smiled and said to Tanaka Nakasa: "Tanaka-kun, let's go!" Go to the front line, today is the end of those rebels, and none of them want to escape. ”

"Hello!" Tanaka Nakasa hurriedly responded, and seeing that Yamazaki Yusuke had already raised his legs and walked out, Tanaka Nakasa hurriedly followed.

The two came to the forward position together, and Yamazaki Yusuke took the telescope from the hand of a devil staff officer and carefully observed the direction of Hengshui City for a while.

Yamazaki Yusuke slowly put down the binoculars and said with a smile, "It's really beyond my expectations!" The rebels in the city still had the courage to continue to resist. ”

Tanaka Nakasa sneered and said, "They are killing themselves. ”

"Hmm!" Yamazaki Yusuke nodded slightly, and then ordered in a cold voice: "Order the artillery troops, immediately prepare for artillery fire, and let these hateful rebels see how terrible the anger of our Imperial Japanese Army is." ”

"Hello! It seems that the lowly officials have seen the scenes of those stupid Shina people desperately struggling under artillery fire. Tanaka Nakasa replied with a smile, and then ordered someone to convey the order.

The efficiency of the little devil was still very high, and soon the rumbling cannon sound sounded on the devil's artillery position, and a piercing whistling sound immediately sounded in the air.

One after another, the cannonballs pierced the sky and smashed into the city wall like hail.

"Boom~! Rumble~! After the shell hit the ground, there was a violent explosion, and patches of fire rose into the air.

Some of the shells landed in the open space outside the city, and there was a huge crater on the ground immediately, and some of the shells fell on the city wall, and a violent explosion sounded, and the dilapidated city wall was blown up with brick chips flying and crumbling. Some shells fell into the city, and houses were destroyed in an instant.

Huge fires were lit in many places, and thick black smoke rose into the sky, and the entire Hengshui City was shrouded in gunfire and smoke.

Enjoying the scene in front of him, a smug smile appeared on the corner of Yamazaki Yusuke's mouth, as if he had seen the scene of his soldiers rushing into the city, and in Yamazaki Yusuke's opinion, victory was in sight.
