There were voices shouting for retreat everywhere near the county government office.
At the same time, someone shouted to stay put.
After hearing contradictory orders, would a fool stand still and wait for the Eighth Route Army to rush past and stab the bayonet?
Someone took him and ran towards West Street, and the bandit soldiers nearby finally became confused.
At this time, the bandit leader couldn't find any soldiers. The bandit soldiers looked for the leader. When they saw someone running to the west, they quickly ran away and followed him straight to the west city gate a few hundred meters away.
Da da da.
The sound of light machine gunfire from the tower suddenly rang out, shattering the tranquility of the West City.
Bang bang bang.
The bandits running west were stunned.
"Suppression with fire. Suppression with fire." Then a bandit leader shouted: "Hurry up and get the light machine gun to the roof."
After hearing someone's command, the bandit soldiers who were pressed by the grenades dropped from the city gate tower towards the shops on both sides of West Street quickly took advantage of the cover of the shops to start fighting back.
They fired volleys of shell guns and rifles. There were many bandit soldiers with many guns, and dense bullets poured down on the west gate tower.
The two light machine guns that were firing alternately were shot indiscriminately by the bandit soldiers and were actually silenced!
The bandits cheered and jumped west again from the ground and shops.
There was only one thought in my mind, I ran out of the west city gate, the sky was high and I was free to wander.
County government.
Wang Sangong stood in the darkness with a gun in both hands, and told the commander of his subordinates with a dark face: "Running to the west is definitely a dead end. Immediately disguise yourself and feint to the north, then turn to the east and rush out in one go!"
The bandit leader thought for a moment and immediately understood what the big boss meant: "Brother, you are right. The Eighth Route Army entered the city from the east. There must be no one outside the east gate. As long as you rush to the east gate, your life will not be a problem."
Wang Taigong, who has been a bandit for many years, is cunning and can accurately judge the current situation.
After hearing the big boss's speech, the noisy bandits in the yard slowly calmed down.
Wang Taigong shouted again: "Throw away everything except banknotes, gold and silver. Brothers of Yizitang, it's up to you today."
"Brother, don't worry!" A bandit stepped forward and just stood in front of Li Huanzhang, who was about to shoot.
"Brother, what should I do if there are so many brothers outside?" a voice shouted.
"Notify brothers to retreat to the north." Wang Taigong waved his hand: "Brothers from Lizitang, blow up the north city wall. Everyone is ready to follow and break out!"
A voice came from the north courtyard wall: "Brothers, don't panic, we will enter the backyard and follow you to the north."
boom.
The northern wall of the county government's backyard collapsed.
Wang Taigong's more than 200 loyal and filial soldiers were crawling slowly over the collapsed bricks and stones on the ground.
After leaving the backyard, he ran toward the street. After running into an alley, he immediately turned east.
Not caring about the eight-way shooting on the rooftop on North Street.
The bandit soldiers who were originally on North Street near the county government saw this formation and immediately joined the fleeing team.
The students from Division 1 and Division 5 who attacked from the east did not expect that the bandit soldiers would rush towards them.
Chug tug tug.
The submachine guns hung on the shoulders of the bandit soldiers opened fire when they saw people.
The military strength and firepower of the students are completely incomparable to that of the bandits.
Do not avoid private houses on both sides.
The attacking Yizitang bandit soldiers broke through the offensive line of the student team in just the blink of an eye.
Followed by the encounter with the Fourth Route Army, which was pressing behind the students.
Bang. Bang. Bang.
The sound of rifles and submachine gunfire intertwined, and people on both sides continued to fall.
There were a lot of soldiers, but compared with the bandits who wanted to escape, they couldn't stop them at all.
The bravery of the Eighth Route Army was unquestionable, but its weapon disadvantages began to show.
The Fourth Route Army soldiers attacking from the north of the city to the east had to immediately switch from attack to defense.
In the alley outside the backyard of a shop on East Street, a platoon of soldiers fired continuously. After two or three rounds, the Eighth Route Army soldiers, whose guns were empty of bullets, rushed out of their hiding place and started a hand-to-hand fight with the bandits.
The bandit soldiers who followed behind did not struggle with the soldiers who came up with bayonets.
The shell gun kept firing, the muzzle flashing again and again, and bullets kept hitting the bodies of the heroic soldiers.
The offensive and defensive situation changed so quickly that the soldiers could not establish a blocking formation. The attacking Yizitang bandit soldiers had already broken out of the Fourth Route Army's offensive line.
The Eighth Route Army's backward command disadvantage subsequently emerged.
The squad platoon leader tried to reorganize his troops to fight the enemy in a life-and-death struggle, but it was useless without bullets!
There were panic shouts everywhere
The grenades thrown continued to explode in the alley. Although many bandit soldiers were blown up, they did not form a ladder.
The escaping bandit soldiers were running faster than mice in the alley!
In the distance, the smokehouse street that was burned down to the size of a company camp was soaring with flames, providing the bandits with a way forward.
Seeing that the East City Gate is only a hundred meters away.
The bandit soldiers running in front were familiar with the terrain and turned south again, entering East Street.
Just around the back of the Eighth Route Army's attacking team advancing westward from Dongda Street!
Fortunately, the bandit soldiers who were bent on escaping paid no attention to the Eighth Route Army soldiers who were attacking the county government office.
Otherwise, you can directly steal the retreat of the attacking soldiers!
It's important to escape!
Where there is life, there is hope!
The bandit soldiers didn't even care about the machine guns on the tower. They immediately ran eastward in a chaotic manner when they got onto the East Street.
There really aren’t many Eighth Route fighters in the eastern section of Dongda Street!
Originally, the machine guns on the city tower were transferred to the tanks as offensive firepower. At this time, only the nine artillery battalions were left, watching helplessly as the bandit soldiers rushed to the city gate downstairs.
You are not allowed to take out the rifle and holster it. Lie down on the city gate tower to prevent the bandit soldiers from climbing up the city wall!
The closer to the east city gate, the darker the light on the street becomes.
The dark city gate hole is the bandits' hope of escape!
The bandit soldiers were not interested in climbing up the city wall, they just wanted to run out of the city.
Seeing the bandits getting closer and closer, Wan Daoxi didn't hold back and spoke first: "Hit me."
The muzzles of more than a dozen deshelling guns on the city gate building flashed fiercely.
Several bandit soldiers rushed to the nearby shops to find cover, raised their submachine guns and fired at the tower.
A magazine of the submachine gun was finished, and the shell gun on the city gate building also partially misfired.
There are not many spare magazines, and both sides are busy loading bullets into the magazines.
The disadvantage of the shell gun's short range appears again.
In this round of shooting, not many bandit soldiers were killed at all.
Li Xiang became anxious and didn't care about anything. He took out a grenade and hit it when it got angry, then threw it down.
The bandit soldiers returned fire fiercely, and the soldiers only dared to take out their shell guns and fire randomly based on their feeling.
The artillery crew didn't bring grenades!
It was too late to suppress the bullet, so in the end we simply lifted up the sandbag used as a machine gun cover and threw it down.
At least it can slow down the bandits from running out of the city!
The stumbling bandit soldiers formed a mess in the city gate and finally ran out of the city gate.
Not daring to stop at all, he jumped into the dry moat and ran straight east.
Wang Taigong was breathing heavily and was already nearly a mile away from the county seat.
Then he looked back at the county town that lit up the sky and gritted his teeth: "I will definitely come back."
When the wall north of the county government office was blown down.
The bandit soldiers around the county government also received orders from various leaders.
The bandits rushed to the county government office one after another, and then crowded into the backyard.
The clever bandit soldiers ran north along the outer wall of the courtyard wall.
The unorganized bandit soldiers, many of them got sidetracked while running and dispersed into various alleys in the east of the city again.
It was late at night, and many people were so confused that they even got into the midst of the Fourth Route Army soldiers who were rushed into the compound hut by the bandit soldiers.
For a time, gunshots were fired everywhere in every yard, and everyone was in danger.
outside the city.
Hu Yi stood in the darkness without saying a word.
The battle went so well!
The students of the Ninth Battalion were completely reduced to spectators. The heavy machine gun only fired a bullet chain and eliminated a wave of bandits who escaped from the city gate to the west.
There was still loud gunfire in the city, but unfortunately, no bandit soldiers came out from the city gate to die.
