It was another sunny morning in Anping County. When Zhongtian Jianyang got up from his warm bed, the orderly brought him bad news - Anping City was surrounded by the Eighth Route Army!

"Quickly invite Inukai-kun to come over for discussion!"

Nakata Jianyang's comfortable days are over. Although there are now two brigades of garrison forces in Anping City, according to common sense, the Eighth Route Army cannot attack the county town even if it comes with 10,000 people. But can Chuxiong use common sense?

In Nakata Kenyo's opinion, any Imperial Army soldier who discussed common sense with Chu Xiong would have their heads buried in grass as tall as a tree. He always treated Chu Xiong with a 120% spirit, and this was why he had always treated him

The secret to surviving till now!

Unfortunately, not everyone can keep the same channel with Nakata. For example, Major Inukai, after learning that the Eighth Route Army soldiers were besieging Anping City, he rushed into Nakata's room with almost excitement and said excitedly:

"Nakata-kun, the Eighth Route Army has taken the bait!

At least 4,000 or 5,000 people are the main force. The time has come for our generation to make great achievements, and our military achievements will be great!"

After Nakata Nakasa finished listening, he looked at Inukai as if he were looking at a fool;

Military merit is something you have to earn with your life, and you have to have your life to take it.

"Inukai-kun's ambition makes Nakata admire him, but our opponent is Chuxiong, a dangerous man who is as cruel as a wolf and as cunning as a fox. We must be very alert, lest the fish is not caught and the bait is

He swallowed it!"

Inukai actually despised Nakata Kenhiro in his heart. A man who lost the guarded county town to the Eighth Route Army twice, but did not have a disembowelment to apologize to the emperor, was unworthy of the title of samurai;

He also couldn't understand why the Commander would let him, a field captain, take orders from a timid and shameless coward!

Of course, this cannot be said out loud. Inukai is crazy, but not stupid. He just said with disdain:

"Nakata-kun, even if you have been defeated by Chu Xiong many times, you cannot over exaggerate Chu Xiong's strength, gain others' ambition, and destroy your own prestige!

Don't forget that there are two brigades of elite warriors in the city, as well as a battalion of the Imperial Alliance Army;

The strength ratio of both sides is less than two to one, and the imperial army has the advantage of the city wall. If we still cannot defend the mere Anping City, you and I should commit seppuku and apologize to the emperor."

Regarding the irony of Quan Yang carrying a gun and a stick, he angrily cursed "Bagayalu" in his heart, and by the way, he asked all the direct female relatives of Quan Yang's family.

"Naturally, Inukai-kun's bravery cannot be compared to that of a defense brigade like Nakata. I leave it to Inukai-kun to defend the city. Nakata's brigade serves as a reserve team;

In addition, in order to catch the big fish, I suggest that the fish in Anping City be hooked and be reported immediately to the Commander for tactical guidance."

When Inukai saw that Nakata kept his attitude very low and discussed everything with him, the look on his face became much better. After all, Nakata was the highest commander in the city and he couldn't go too far.

"Yo Xi, Mr. Nakata's proposal is very constructive. As you said, we should report the matter of the fish in Anping City quickly. The two of us cannot take the credit alone."

Nakata was too lazy to talk nonsense with a fool. If he hadn't expected the Inukai Brigade to take bullets for the Nakata Brigade, he would have been too lazy to talk nonsense with a fool.

After reaching a consensus with Inukai Ichiro, Nakata immediately drafted a telegram on the military situation of Chu Xiong's 5,000 troops surrounding Anping;

When Inukai was signing, he couldn't help but despise Nakata in his heart. There were clearly only more than 3,000 people, but he had to exaggerate it to 5,000;

Fortunately, Inukai is not stupid, and his contribution to defeating Five Thousand Eight Routes must be greater than that of Three Thousand, so he pretended that he didn't notice Nakata's Xiao Jiujiu and readily signed his name.

After getting the signature, Nakata felt much better and continued to deceive Inukai:

"Inukai-kun, I leave the defense of the city to you. The Nakata Battalion must be a good reserve team. With the bravery of the Inukai Battalion, there will definitely be no need for the reserve team!"

Inukai thought disdainfully:

"If you're afraid of death, you're afraid of death. If you talk about the reserve team, it's really the imperial army that doesn't even have the face!"

Inukai didn't care. In his opinion, there were no problems with his own brigade of more than 3,000 Eighth Route Army troops, and the credit would be his alone.

"Nakata-kun, just do this. I will arrange the defense of the city right away and let the arrogant Chu Xiong learn the power of the Inukai Brigade!"

After Inukai said that, he walked away with his ancestral command sword, as if it would be a shame for him to stay with Nakata for a while longer.

After Nakata waited for Inukai to leave, he immediately ordered the orderly to bring delicious breakfast and asked him to send the prepared message to the brigade headquarters.

“What a wonderful morning!”

After sighing, Nakata happily enjoyed his breakfast.

Zhongtian had just finished breakfast, and before he could wipe his mouth, "rumbling" gunfire sounded outside the city, and the Eighth Route Army's siege began!

At the east gate of Anping City, the Inuyang Brigade had just deployed its defensive troops to the city wall. As soon as the soldiers took out the rice dumplings, huge explosive packets were thrown onto the wall and hit the crowd of Japanese soldiers hard...

"Boom boom boom..."

The huge shock wave caused by the explosion directly knocked down the several-meter-high city wall of the Japanese who were located within ten meters of the center of the explosion, and smashed them into pieces!

The explosion fired hundreds of fragments in the explosive package at high speed in all directions. There was almost no blind spot within a radius of tens of meters, and it was still lethal beyond a hundred meters. The Japanese fell one by one, causing heavy casualties.

"Bagaya Road, heavy artillery! How come there are heavy artillery on Eighth Road!"

Inukai yelled angrily, "How can he defend a group of more than 3,000 people with heavy artillery?"

He finally understood that he had been tricked by that coward Nakata and became their scapegoat!

"Bagayalu, Nakata, it's not your samurai's fault!"

It's a pity that his curses couldn't reach Nakata's ears amid the continuous explosions. The city defense plan has been reported to the Commander. Now it's too late for him to regret it, so he can only bear it silently...

"Bagayalu! Why isn't it over yet? Balu has no bushido spirit!"

Inuyang scolds and scolds, Chuxiong should still bombard his mother with cannons, the Japanese must die, the unscrupulous cannons are not in vain!

After half an hour of bombardment, the walls of Anping City had been blown down in many places, and the widest gap was more than twenty meters. A large number of Japanese were buried in the ruins, and the Inukai Brigade suffered heavy losses.

The worse the enemy is, the happier Chu Xiong will laugh. Killing the enemy is really a happy thing;

But no matter how happy you are, you have to stop. If you blow up all the Japs to death, what can you do to hold them back and attract Japs reinforcements?

"Inform the Second Pillar to stop the bombardment, evacuate all heavy firepower from the city wall area, quickly build fake artillery positions, and pay attention to the disguise;

It won't be long before the Japanese plane is coming!"

"Inform the infantry and send a garrison company to launch a feint attack towards the gap in the city wall to make the momentum bigger..."
