Continuous explosions echoed over the county town, and the bright white light illuminated the dark clouds in the sky. Huge air waves swept through the streets and alleys. House dust fell, doors and windows shook, and the earth shook.

The Japanese command post was already in a state of chaos. The sudden attack caught not only Matsushita, who had just arrived, by surprise, but even Kataoka Yoshizou could not foresee that such a situation would occur. When the phone kept ringing, the answer was When connecting to various reports, I couldn't help but feel a little confused.

"When did the Second Route Army have the strength to attack the county town?" Matsushita stood next to the phone. His hand shook and the phone fell on the table. He turned his head to look at Kataoka Rongzo or muttered to himself.

"Impossible, among the Chinese army, although they are powerful and cunning, they never have the ability to attack a fortified city, and they will never make risky attempts," Kataoka Yoshizo flatly denied it at first, and then seemed to think so. He said thoughtfully: "Unless..."

"Unless what," Matsushita asked with his eyes widened, an ominous premonition emerging in his heart.

"Unless they have a way to gain control of the city gate," Yoshizo Kataoka said these words, feeling extremely frightened in his heart. He stood up and strode out of the house. Hearing the sound of gunfire everywhere, his face changed drastically, and he hurriedly And back.

"How is it? What judgment did you come to?" Matsushita asked hurriedly when he saw Kataoka's anxious expression.

"Judging from the sound of gunfire, the south gate should have been lost, and the enemy is approaching step by step from that direction," Kataoka Yoshizo said anxiously: "That's where the Imperial Japanese Army brigade is responsible for guarding. The Chinese are unreliable. They betrayed us. Your Excellency, please immediately order the imperial army in the city to counterattack to the north, and also contact the surrounding strongholds to ask them for immediate reinforcements."

Ah, Panasonic was stunned for a moment, and immediately picked up the phone and started to issue orders, but at this time, troops in many places could not be contacted.

After a long period of training, the main attack group is not only familiar with the terrain and landforms, but also has the guidance of local soldiers. More importantly, the weapons are more suitable for street fighting. The twenty squad assault teams are even more selected from the best and are equipped with a light machine gun. Two submachine guns, two shell guns, and a sniper rifle. The other soldiers were wearing stab-proof armor and holding long guns with bayonets for cover. This kind of firepower was matched with both light and heavy firepower. They climbed over the wall and crossed the alley. There were many small groups. They opened fire everywhere on the road, causing great confusion for the enemy. They took advantage of their advantages and were flexible, slithering in and out like fish, letting go of their hands and feet to deal with the enemy. The walls and walls were spitting out tongues of fire, and the streets and alleys were sparkling with explosions. There was bright light, and the sounds of fighting and killing echoed in every courtyard.

The assault team was responsible for the harassment, while the other troops of the main attack group advanced steadily, fighting for each street and alley, gradually compressing the enemy's space.

The enemy's deployment is based on the defense of the city wall. There are no solid bunkers in the city, and the fortifications built with sandbags at the main street entrances have limited effect. Therefore, once the fortress is breached from the inside, the sudden change in the situation will make the enemy's thinking Unable to turn a corner, unable to keep up with the temporary deployment, all arrangements were in disarray.

Kataoka Yoshizo and Matsushita made another mistake in panic, which was similar to the reaction of the Soviet Union after being suddenly attacked by Germany. Regarding the characteristics of the initial stage of the war, the Soviet command made a wrong estimate. At that time, it was proposed that at the national border, Relying on tenacious defense of field fortifications to prevent the enemy from invading Russian territory and ensuring mobilization time, and then using powerful counterattacks to repel the enemy's attack and transfer the war to the enemy's territory, they did not consider strategic defensive operations at all and eliminated a large number of problems. The possibility of the enemy breaking through to the hinterland, Stalin even regarded defense in depth as a retreat, and constantly ordered the frontline troops to counterattack, counterattack, and counterattack again. This caused the corps to fight in turn and gave the enemy the opportunity to defeat the corps one by one. Yoshizo Kataoka and Matsushita did not predict the nature of the sudden attack by the Second Route Army, nor did they expect that the Second Route Army could quietly concentrate such a large force and enter the battle in a powerful and dense group. They were just focused on rushing into the city. The Second Route Army drove out, but they did not expect that the Japanese troops who received the order would not concentrate all their efforts to counterattack, but invest in batches.

What's more, the Second Route Army's feint attacks outside the east, west, and north gates also tied down a lot of enemy troops. If they abandoned the gates without receiving orders, they would face the danger of being attacked from both sides.

The ancient city trembled under artillery fire, endured the baptism of blood and fire, and witnessed the fall of the invaders.

About a small group of "Imperial Army" soldiers, under the command of the captain who twisted his face and roared loudly, violently counterattacked against the Second Route Army. They howled crazily and other slogans such as "Long Live His Majesty the Emperor" and even ignored the fierce machine gun fire. .

Relying on their numerical advantage, the soldiers of the Second Route Army used shotguns, machine guns, submachine guns, and grenades to tenaciously block the enemy's counterattack. The front of the street intersection became a death zone, with corpses of the enemy and ourselves lying on top of each other, and the ground was covered with mutilated weapons and stains. Blood stains, surrounded by sharp cries and suppressed moans, and the fierce battle gradually reached a climax.

Another group of puppet troops came to help the battle under the command of several Japanese officers. While they ordered to concentrate their firepower to suppress our army, they also drove the puppet troops to rush forward, trying to break through the right side, suppress the left side, and promote the disintegration of our army's defense.

There was loud gunfire, and a company of the Second Route Army came for reinforcements. They quickly covered up and attacked. After a burst of shooting, they took advantage of the momentum and swooped up, throwing the puppet troops into chaos and forcing them to engage in hand-to-hand combat. Those who were weak in fighting will The puppet troops were caught off guard and made a huge uproar, screaming and retreating.

"Brothers, I am Squadron Leader Zhao Sanyong," the puppet squadron leader shouted from behind the formation: "The Chinese will not fight the Chinese. Captain Liang ordered everyone to do it anyway. Kill a Japanese and get twenty ocean dollars. Don't do it." I gave my life to the devils,"

"Thousands of people from the Second Route Army have entered the city. Brothers, please stop resisting," another puppet soldier then shouted.

………………

Gradually, the driven puppet soldiers gradually became disobedient. They either lay on the ground and pretended to be dead, or stared maliciously at the "Imperial Army" soldiers around them. Some of the bolder ones turned around and fought with the "Imperial Army" soldiers. Together, seeing that the enemy's formation was in chaos, the Second Route Army blew the charge horn again, and the assault troops once again formed a skirmish attack formation and violently charged at the enemy's formation.

The Japanese commander waved his sword and shouted and cursed at the top of his voice to stabilize the team. Suddenly, intensive firepower came from behind. Several soldiers fell to the ground. He was also almost hit. Looking back, he saw an alley behind him. A dozen figures flashed at the entrance, shooting in this direction while relying on the building, while making contact gestures. It seemed that it was another detachment from the Second Route Army coming for reinforcements. Obviously, the Second Route Army had launched an outflanking operation. , they fell into the encirclement.
