And at this moment, the sound of gunfire in the city like beans stopped immediately after a dense burst of grenade explosions. Immediately afterwards, I saw nearly a hundred little devils rushing to the city gate. began to pile up bags of sandbags in the city gate hole, ready to block the entire city gate, and hold on..."Damn, little devil, I'm inseparable from you..." After looking at this moment, the city gate, which had just heard the sound of gunshots like popping beans, had become quiet. Xu Ying, the head of the regiment, couldn't help but close his eyes in despair. Because, at this time, based on his own experience, he had already guessed the result of the second battalion in the city. Then, clenching his fists, he continued to order: "Order the third battalion to retreat immediately and withdraw from the range of the army's fire..."

With the remaining hundreds of soldiers of the third battalion, after hearing the call to retreat, they quickly retreated. The head of the regiment, Xu Ying, closed his eyes and sat heavily on the ground, and then, a painful expression appeared on his face... However, at this moment, a frightened cry reached his ears..."Regiment commander, it's the soldiers of the second battalion, the little devil threw the remains of the soldiers from the city wall...""Little devil, I your ancestors...""Little devil, you have the ability to fight bayonets with grandpa, what are you angry with the dead?" With the sound of angry scolding, it reached his ears, and the head of the regiment, Xu Ying, quickly opened his eyes.

At this moment, an incredible scene appeared in front of him... Five hundred meters away, the tall city wall was already illuminated by torches. One by one, under the gaze of everyone, the little devils threw the remains of a sacrificed soldier directly from the city wall more than ten meters high. Then, he fell heavily on the corner of the city wall. In just a few minutes, at least a hundred corpses of warriors had piled up under the base of this section of the wall, and the number was still increasing. Looking at the soldiers around him, almost everyone showed a trace of anger on their faces, staring at a pair of angry eyes, staring at the city wall a few hundred meters away without blinking..."Regiment commander, all the commanders and fighters of the third battalion ask you to fight, we will attack immediately, no matter what, we must snatch back the remains of our comrades from the hands of the little devils, and ask the regiment commander for approval..." All along, the relationship with the second battalion commander was like a brother, the third battalion commander, stared at the regiment commander in front of him with red eyes, and pleaded loudly.

"Please ask the regiment commander for approval, we must retrieve the bodies of our comrades...."Just as Xu Ying fell into deep thought, thinking about how to answer. A loud roar reached his ears. I saw that behind the commander of the third battalion, nearly a hundred commanders and fighters gathered before and after, looking at themselves at the same time, waiting for their answers... With a roar sounded over the position. The entire position, except for the necessary machine gunners, remained in the trenches to guard against a possible counterattack by the imps. The rest of the soldiers were all gathered in front of the regiment commander Xu Ying. stared at a pair of red eyes, looking at Xu Ying, the head of the regiment, who was completely surrounded by everyone, with a look of expectation.

Looking at everyone's gaze, the head of the regiment, Xu Ying, was also silent. At this moment, in his heart, a very fierce struggle is going on. Yu Qing, he must snatch back the remains of all the soldiers of the second battalion from the hands of the little devil. However, from a reasonable point of view, this is obviously a trap set by Yue Jun in order to provoke himself. At this moment, on the city wall five hundred meters away, I don't know how many light and heavy machine guns, under the influence of the little devils, were ready to open fire, just waiting for themselves, and led the troops to their guns.

"Commander, you just make a decision, we all listen to you?" looked at Xu Ying, the head of the regiment with an embarrassed face. The third battalion commander also slowly reacted after a brief period of anger. Knowing the fierce struggle in the heart of the regiment commander at this time. Then, he said to the embarrassed regiment commander.

"Comrades, seeing the inferior behavior of the army and beasts, I am in the same mood as everyone, and I am also very indignant, wanting to take up my own weapons, snatch back all the remains of my comrades-in-arms in the hands of little devils, and avenge the sacrificed soldiers. However, have you ever wondered why the army would do this, if we attack now, we will be greeted by an impenetrable rain of bullets. When the time comes, not only will we not be able to recover the bodies of all the soldiers of the second battalion, but we will also lose our own lives. When the time comes, who will avenge the sacrificed soldiers, and who will clean up the bodies of their comrades..."Xu Ying sorted out the thoughts in his mind. He raised his fist and shouted loudly at the warriors around him... For a while, everyone closed their mouths because of the words of the regiment commander Xu Ying, and stopped shouting and encouraging everyone to attack, and snatched the remains of the soldiers of the second battalion from the hands of the devils. Everyone, at the same time, lowered their heads, quietly thinking about what the head of the regiment had just said... Finally, after a few minutes of silence, among the surrounding crowd, words slowly came out one after another: "Regiment Commander, we know that we are wrong, you can give orders, we will all listen to you..."

"Comrades, we will definitely repay this revenge, and for the sacrifice of all the soldiers of the second battalion, we will definitely let the little devils come back with all their profits... Now I order, all companies, immediately return to their positions, do a good job of vigilance, to prevent the little devils in the city, and counterattack..."Hearing everyone's answers, Xu Ying's nervous heart finally relaxed, and he ordered affirmatively to the commanders around him.

"Report to the regiment commander, the commander has sent a telegram, asking you to return to the headquarters immediately, convene an operational meeting of cadres at and above the regimental level, and make specific arrangements for the next stage of the operation..."

"The battle just now, if nothing else, the commander also saw it. The meeting must have something to do with the battle just now. The commander of the third battalion, all the troops in the forward position, are temporarily handed over to you to command, remember, without my orders, no matter how the little devils on the city wall provoke, the troops will definitely not attack. If nothing else, the commander will certainly make new arrangements, and our first priority now is to accumulate strength and accumulate sufficient combat strength for the next offensive. After receiving the order to hold a meeting, the head of the regiment, Xu Ying, nodded. Then, facing the third battalion commander beside him, he ordered.

"Regiment commander, don't worry, I will definitely lead the troops..."The third battalion commander replied affirmatively.

In the temporary headquarters of the 4th Regiment at the East Gate, the commanders of the four main regiments responsible for the attack, together with the three brigade commanders, arrived one after another. However, after the battle just now, there was a hint of gloom on everyone's faces. Because, in the first round of attack just now, not only the fourth regiment at the east gate, but also the enemy lost a battalion of troops in the city of Beiping. At the other three gates, at least one battalion of troops was also lost. Such a huge loss can be said to be very demoralizing for everyone.

"Why do you keep your head down, isn't it just a defeat, a defeat, and you battle-hardened veterans are beaten like this... Could it be that because of the defeat just now, you are afraid of the little devils in Beiping City..."Looking at the regiment commanders and brigade commanders who lowered their heads and did not say a word. Liu Hua frowned and said dissatisfiedly. Because he knows that it is not terrible for the troops to lose the battle, but what is terrible is that because of this defeat, the morale of the troops has been lost.

"Commander, we are not afraid, we want to avenge the sacrificed soldiers and kill all the little devils in the city..." As soon as Liu Hua's words fell, Xu Ying, the commander of the Fourth Regiment, who had just been holding back his anger in the forward position, couldn't hold back any longer, Huo Di stood up from his seat and shouted loudly to the entire conference room..."Yes, revenge, revenge for the sacrificed soldiers." Commander, you give an order, we will definitely kill all the little devils in the city..."One by one, the regiment commanders stood up from their seats, waved their fists, and roared loudly, venting the grievances and anger in their hearts at this moment.

"Okay, this is like my warrior of the reading division, even if we lose the battle, we can't lose confidence. Brigade Commander Li, you can first inform you of the losses of the four main regiments in the first round of siege battles. I hope that everyone can stand up and face up to their own command mistakes. Only by summing up lessons and learning lessons from setbacks can we continue to be strong and win battles. Regarding everyone's performance, Liu Hua nodded with satisfaction and gestured to Bruce Lee beside him.

"Commander, comrades, according to the statistics just now, in the first round of siege battles, because of everyone's light enemy and the special deployment of the little devils, all units suffered huge losses of varying degrees. The four main regiments in the direction of the four city gates each lost about a battalion of troops. A total of 2,189 commanders and fighters were all killed in the attack just now..."Bruce Lee stood up and said.

"Comrades, the loss of four main battalions, more than two thousand fighters is not terrible. As long as all of us have faith, and the soldiers have confidence and determination....When the time comes, we will definitely let the little devils in Beiping City return all the money with interest. Now I order, in the next battle, everyone should not have any scruples, and do not be afraid of damaging all kinds of cultural relics and monuments in the city. The country is almost gone, what is the use of these historical monuments. Therefore, I have decided that we will attack by means of blasting, break through the city walls and enter the city, do you have any opinions? Liu Hua glanced at the commander in front of him and affirmed.

"No... It's just that, commander, I hope that my fourth regiment can still serve as the main attack and avenge the sacrificed soldiers..."The commanders replied in unison, in addition to self-confidence, but also indignation against the army in the city..."Very good, everyone rest assured, all the commanders and fighters of the Second Brigade and the Fourth Regiment are still responsible for the main attack. However, in order to increase the strength of the siege, Brigade Commander Wang, I will draw four battalions from your third brigade to reinforce the four city gates, and as for the remaining troops and the guard brigade, while being responsible for air defense, they will serve as the general reserve of the troops, and they will go to the battlefield at any time to participate in the siege battle. Liu Hua nodded and continued to order.

As the meeting began, the four main battalions that had been drawn immediately began to assemble and reinforce the four city gates. As the four regiment commanders returned to the forward position, the remaining strength of the four main regiments in charge of Miyagi, together with a reinforced battalion, immediately entered a state of rest to replenish the physical strength consumed in the battle just now. Prepare to launch a retaliatory attack on Beiping City before dawn, and make them pay a little price for their actions just now... The rest time was short, and after an hour, the fighters, who had replenished their ammunition, once again carried their weapons, and quickly entered their combat positions. One artillery piece and one light and heavy machine gun were also ready for battle at the first time, waiting for Commander Liu Hua to give the order to attack.

"Bang bang bang..."In everyone's expectant eyes, three flares rose into the air. In the sky, three brilliant fireworks burst out. The sound of gunfire was an order, and as the flares were lifted into the air, all the artillery assembled outside the four city gates, at the same time, fired one shell after another at the majestic city walls... The dense artillery fire, in less than a minute, completely enveloped the four city heads. In particular, dozens of heavy howitzers of the heavy artillery regiment fired shells weighing several tens of kilograms at the city wall at their fastest firing speed. In the words of the soldiers, let the soldiers on the city walls know that the Reading Force will not be frightened and frightened by the casualties of a regiment. At this moment, all that everyone has is anger, and the cannonballs with everyone's anger are fired at the head of the city..."Your Excellency Commander, a new round of offensive of the Eighth Route Army has begun... The four city gates were fiercely bombarded by the Eighth Route Army at the same time, and the defending troops suffered heavy losses and urgently needed reinforcements..."Just when the commander, General Tada Jun, was still immersed in the joy of having just annihilated a regiment of the Eighth Route Army in his office. An earth-shattering explosion reached his ears, and at this moment, the chief of staff rushed in and reported breathlessly.

"Nani, the Eighth Route Army has started a new offensive again... What did the Eighth Route Army want to do, it had just lost a regiment of troops, and it launched a new round of offensive without any rest. Impossible, absolutely impossible..."Tada Jun stood up from his seat abruptly, a look of shock on his face, and asked in disbelief.

"Your Excellency Commander, this is all true, the city defense troops reported that the Eighth Route Army had assembled more than a hundred artillery pieces of various calibers to carry out a fierce artillery bombardment of the four city gates. The garrison of the four gates suffered heavy losses in the face of the sudden and heavy artillery bombardment of the Eighth Route Army..."The chief of staff replied affirmatively.

"Bageya Road, it must be revenge, the Eighth Route Army must be taking revenge on our army's actions just now, revenge for the loss of a regiment they just had. It must be so... Chief of Staff, send two squadrons of reinforcements to each gate, and make sure they hold the gates. As long as our army can block this round of retaliatory attacks of the Eighth Route Army. The morale of the Eighth Route Army will definitely be dealt a serious blow..."Senior General Tada Jun quickly reacted. He had rich combat experience, and he quickly figured out the reason for the sudden attack of the Reading Force Division outside the city, and ordered loudly.

"Yes, Your Excellency Commander...", the ten-minute shelling also ended as reinforcements were sent. After just ten minutes of heavy shelling, although the strong city walls, there was not much damage. However, on the top of the city wall, after just ten minutes of shelling, it was as bloody and terrifying as Shura's hell... Originally, a brigade of nearly 1,000 little devils, all standing on the city wall, was ready to meet the attack troops of the Eighth Route Army. However, what they didn't expect was that they didn't see a soldier of the Eighth Route Army, because he was hot-headed, rushed out of the trench and became their target. Instead, it rained down on shells.

In particular, the mortar shells, which were launched quickly and mainly played a superior role with fragments, were killed and wounded by nearly 100 people who were all on the city wall with just one round of shells, and before they had time to react, the nearly 1,000 soldiers who were transferred paid nearly 100 casualties... However, such casualties have only just begun for the army on the city wall... Just when the remaining devil soldiers were scurrying back and forth on the city wall, looking for a suitable hiding spot. One shell after another, kept falling on their side, and then there was a violent explosion... In this way, one after another, the little devils were either blown to the ground with no bones left, or turned into a cold corpse... After ten minutes of shelling, nearly a thousand shells fell on the city walls in almost every direction of the city gate. After nearly a thousand rounds of various shells, the entire section of the city wall was almost stained red by the blood of the little devils. The soldiers' stumps and arms were broken, and their internal organs were blown up everywhere, so that the remaining soldiers on the city wall had almost no place to stay..."Da Da..." A dense burst of gunfire reached their ears from outside the city. Outside the city gate, on the position of the Eighth Route Army, all the light and heavy machine guns spit out a dense rain of bullets almost at the same time..."Baga, immediately defend, we must block the attack of the Eighth Route Army." Our reinforcements will arrive soon, everyone hold out for a few more minutes... Yours, the heavy machine gun will fire immediately..."Hearing the gunshot, the group leader immediately reacted from shock. Wielding the command knife in his hand, he drove the soldiers who had been completely shocked into their combat positions at this moment...
