Fierce gunfire came from the direction of the east city wall and the north city wall.
Apparently the east city wall and the north city wall were also breached by the Eighth Route Army.
Daisuke Takahashi and Pano Karazawa raised their binoculars and saw that the Eighth Route Army had already attacked the city. The puppet troops wearing Japanese military uniforms surrendered without much resistance.
"Baga, if I had known that these Imperial Army soldiers were so cowardly, I should have shot them all!" Daisuke Takahashi roared angrily.
He also hoped that the Eighth Route Army would mistake these puppet troops for the Japanese army. When the Eighth Route Army attacked the city, they would definitely shoot at the puppet troops first without any reason.
In this way, the tacit understanding between the puppet army and the Eighth Route Army will disappear. When there is no hope of survival, the puppet army will definitely take up guns and fight the Eighth Route Army to the end.
But now it seems that Daisuke Takahashi is overthinking, and these puppet troops have no fighting will at all.
Even if the Eighth Route Army kills them all, the puppet troops may not dare to pick up their guns and fight back.
Seeing Daisuke Takahashi's angry look, Karazawa Ban'o's face darkened slightly, and he said urgently: "Captain, what should we do now?"
What's the use of scolding the Imperial Alliance Army for not resisting now that it's so urgent? Don’t you know what the virtues of the Imperial Alliance Army are?
Daisuke Takahashi's eyes flashed slightly and he said: "When the matter has reached this point, we can only resort to the trick and start fighting house by house with the Eighth Route Army. If we fight the Eighth Route Army on the street, we are afraid that we will lose faster. With Soon, more troops from the Eighth Route Army will enter the city, because the equipment of the Eighth Route Army is no longer inferior to that of our imperial army."
If he had known that the Eighth Route Army was going to fight from house to house, he would never have pushed the mountain field artillery and infantry artillery into the house.
They will never give up the defense of the city wall easily. If the defense focus is on the city wall, even if the Eighth Route Army has mountain cannons, it will not be so easy for the Eighth Route Army to invade the city.
It would be impossible for the Eighth Route Army to put up a ladder to climb the city wall, and if two machine guns were set up at the gap created by the shells, it would not be so easy for the Eighth Route Army to attack.
In the final analysis, Daisuke Takahashi wanted to kill a large number of the Eighth Route Army's effective forces with the minimum cost of casualties.
What I didn't expect was that Li Yunlong didn't play according to common sense at all, making Daisuke Takahashi's arrangement become a decoration.
Karazawa Panfu said in a deep voice: "Captain, actually we still have a way to go."
"Harazawa-kun, do you mean to break out?"
Karazawa Banfu nodded and said: "Yes, captain, since no reinforcements have arrived, if this continues, our Takahashi Brigade may be completely wiped out."
"The headquarters sent reinforcements from the 9th Brigade, and they may be able to reach Shouyang County in three days, but we can no longer hold out for three days."
"Currently, the Eighth Route Army has not attacked the West Gate, and the defenders at the West Gate have reported no trace of the Eighth Route Army. I suggest breaking out from the West Gate..."
Before he finished speaking, he was interrupted by Daisuke Takahashi and scolded: "Baga, Karazawa-kun, do you know what you are talking about?"
"The order from the headquarters is for our troops to stay in Shouyang County for three days."
"Do you want me to be court-martialed?"
"Do you think the Eighth Route Army is a fool, deliberately making way for the imperial army to go out?"
"Besides, there are eight roads everywhere outside the city. Where can we go after we break out?"
"The Eighth Route Army has an ambush outside the west gate, that's for sure." Heizawa Panfu said, "But we can wait until dark to break out."
"After we break out, we can follow the example of the Eighth Route Army in fighting guerrillas. As long as we win a few battles, General Shinozuka will definitely not blame you."
"As for the surrender of Shouyang County to the Eighth Route Army, it doesn't matter. The imperial army will fight back sooner or later. By then, Shouyang County will still belong to the Empire of Japan."
Takahashi Daisuke's eyes flashed slightly when he heard this, and he was obviously moved by Karazawa Banko's words.
Continuing to stay in Shouyang County will definitely lead to death.
Who would want to die if there was a chance to live?
"Yoshi, your words make sense." Daisuke Takahashi nodded and said, "Immediately strengthen the defense of the west gate and wait for the breakout from the direction of the west gate after dark."
Daisuke Takahashi added: "In addition, after we break through, the grain depots and ammunition depots in the city cannot be left to the Eighth Route Army."
"Harazawa-kun, go and make arrangements. Bring enough food and ammunition to break through. The rest will be destroyed during the breakout tonight."
"Hi!" Harizawa Futon said.
…
Outside the south city, the new regiment headquarters.
Li Yunlong and Zhao Gang stepped down the ladder from the roof.
The communications soldier hurried in with a rifle on his back, and gave a military salute in front of the two men: "Report to the commander, the second battalion has followed your order, and the entire battalion has started fighting against the Japanese from house to house. Currently, the third battalion has occupied the south city wall. .”
Li Yunlong said: "Pass my order. The third battalion, like the second battalion, will attack the enemy and fight with the Japanese from house to house."
"Yes!" The signal soldier gave the military salute and ran outside.
"Huzi!" Li Yunlong turned to Huang Erhu and said, "Go and call Lu Yingjun and Xu Yonghai."
"Yes!" Huang Erhu turned around and ran outside the hospital.
In fact, Lu Yingjun and his team members had been waiting outside the door for a long time. Huang Erhu bumped into Lu Yingjun as soon as he left the courtyard.
"Er Hu, where are you going?" Lu Yingjun asked after greeting him.
"Captain Lu?" Huang Erhu said quickly, "The captain is looking for you."
When Lu Yingjun heard this, he couldn't sit still and ran into the yard with three steps at a time.
Lu Yingjun gave a military salute: "Report to the regiment leader and political commissar, Lu Yingjun reports to you."
Li Yunlong looked surprised: "You came so quickly, and your boy has been waiting outside the door?"
With a chuckle, Lu Yingjun said: "I'm not the only one. The people from our Sharp Sword Squadron are outside, waiting for instructions from the regiment leader and political commissar."
It was a good thing that the Sword Squadron was so active, so Li Yunlong didn't say much.
Nodding, Li Yunlong said: "According to the plan, it's your Sword Squadron's turn."
"Now the second and third battalions have occupied the Japs' city wall and are fighting house-to-house with the Japs."
"The mission of your Sword Squadron is the same as last time, call for artillery fire to behead the Japanese headquarters."
"Do you, the Sharp Sword Squadron, have the confidence to capture the ammunition warehouse in the county?"
"If we can't take over the Japanese ammunition depot." Lu Yingjun looked serious, "Regiment leader and political commissar, you can shoot me."
"Captain is reluctant to shoot you." Zhao Gang said with a smile, "The mountain cannon we borrowed has not been returned yet, but it should be soon."
"Your Sharp Sword Squadron can climb the city wall first. Standing on the city wall, you should be able to see the location of the Japanese headquarters."
"Calculate the shooting parameters in advance first, and then bombard the Japanese headquarters as soon as the artillery comes back!"
"Yes! The Sword Squadron promises to complete the mission!" Lu Yingjun saluted again.
Li Yunlong and Zhao Gang returned the military salute, and then Lu Yingjun walked out.
As soon as Lu Yingjun went out, the guys from the Sharp Sword Squadron immediately gathered around him and asked what the mission was.
The Sword Squadron is dressed very differently from ordinary Eighth Route Army soldiers.
Although the color of the military uniforms is also gray, they wear gray steel helmets, bulletproof combat vests, mountain combat boots, and each carries a combat backpack.
The combat backpack contains ammunition, gas masks, climbing hooks and other necessities. The entire set of equipment is not heavy for the swordsmen and does not affect the combat at all.
After annihilating the Black Island Cavalry Regiment, a large amount of horse meat was seized, so Li Yunlong raised the food standards for the Sword Squadron. Almost every meal included meat and there was plenty of oil and water.
Every team member's face was glowing with well-nourished oil.
Moreover, these team members are almost all elite veterans who have experienced hundreds of battles. Just standing there exudes an aura of killing without breaking out.
"Line up!"
Lu Yingjun roared, and more than 50 team members quickly lined up in five rows.
His eyes quickly swept over the faces of each team member, and there was no need to mobilize them before the war.
Because Lu Yingjun knew that with just one order, these guys would rush forward and tear the Japanese into pieces.
"Target the south city wall, let's go!"
Following Lu Yingjun's order, more than 50 team members lined up neatly and walked quickly towards the city wall.
When he came to the city wall, Lu Yingjun quickly found the location of the Japanese headquarters in the telescope.
A three-story building with a rising sun flag fluttering on it, and a playground inside. It is surrounded by walls and barbed wire, and there are private houses only more than a hundred meters away.
At that moment, Lu Yingjun took out the precise map and quickly calculated the shooting parameters based on the location of the mountain artillery battalion's artillery positions and the location of the Japanese command headquarters.
He picked up the radio and used secret words to inform Wang Chengzhu of the shooting parameters.
Not long after, the loaned mountain cannon was returned. Wang Chengzhu immediately set up the six mountain cannons and quickly adjusted the shooting parameters.
Following Wang Chengzhu's order to fire.
The artillerymen at each gun position pulled the match rope almost simultaneously.
The cannon body shook suddenly.
Twelve shells soared into the sky, drew an arc over the city wall, and flew towards the Japanese headquarters.
In the war room, Daisuke Takahashi and Pano Karazawa were studying the retreat route at night.
The two of them heard a strange squeaking sound.
Where did the gunfire come from?
All our own artillery was used to ambush the Eighth Route Army!
The next second, the faces of the two people instantly turned pale. The sound of the cannon was coming for them!
"Shell attack! Get down quickly!" Daisuke Takahashi got under the table.
It's too late!
Groups of artillery shells roared downwards, landing in the Japanese headquarters.
Boom boom boom...
A series of explosions sounded like muffled thunder.
The three-story bungalow where the Japanese headquarters was located was hit by two artillery shells, almost destroying the entire building.
Although some of the shells missed and landed outside the headquarters, Lu Yingjun quickly recalculated the shooting parameters.
After correcting the trajectory, the second round of shells fell in pieces again. This time, most of the shells landed in the Japanese headquarters.
The building inside the Japanese headquarters was blown down at once.
The completely unsuspecting Japanese were stunned instantly.
The third round of shells fell again...
The entire Japanese command headquarters suffered heavy casualties under the blanket saturation bombardment.
As the command building collapsed in the explosion, Daisuke Takahashi and Pano Karazawa were killed on the spot.
At that moment, the Sword Squadron and the Assault Company headed straight for the Japanese ammunition depot and grain depot.
The Japanese who lost their command system in the city fell into fighting on their own.
As the soldiers of the three main regiments entered the city in a steady stream, they started fighting for each house with the Japanese.
Before dark, all the Japs in the city were eliminated and Shouyang County was captured.
The ammunition depot and the grain depot were also successfully captured by the two troops of the New Regiment without any danger.
"Brother Shen!"
"Um!"
When Shen Changqing walks on the road, whenever he meets someone he knows, he will say hello or nod to each other.
But no matter who it is.
There was no unnecessary expression on everyone's face, as if they were indifferent to everything.
To this.
Shen Changqing has become accustomed to it.
Because this is the Demon Suppression Division, an organization that maintains the stability of the Qin Dynasty. Its main responsibility is to kill monsters and monsters. Of course, there are also some other side jobs.
It can be said.
Everyone in the Demon Suppression Division has a lot of blood on their hands.
When a person is used to seeing life and death, he will become indifferent to many things.
When he first came to this world, Shen Changqing was a little uncomfortable, but he got used to it over time.
The Demon-Suppressing Division is huge.
Those who can stay in the Demon Suppressing Division are all powerful masters, or those who have the potential to become masters.
Shen Changqing belongs to the latter.
Among them, the Demon Suppressor Division is divided into two professions, one is the Guardian Envoy and the other is the Demon Slayer.
Anyone who enters the Demon Suppression Department starts from the lowest level as a demon slayer.
Then he will be promoted step by step, and he is expected to eventually become a guardian envoy.
Shen Changqing's predecessor was a trainee demon slayer in the Demon Suppression Division, and he was also the lowest level among the demon slayers.
Possessing the memory of a previous life.
He is also very familiar with the environment of the Demon Suppression Division.
It didn't take long for Shen Changqing to stop in front of a loft.
Unlike other places in the Demon Suppressing Division that were full of chills, the attic here seemed to stand out from the crowd, showing a different kind of tranquility in the bloody Demon Suppressing Division.
At this time, the attic door was open, and occasionally people came in and out.
Shen Changqing only hesitated for a moment before stepping in.
Enter the attic.
The environment changes in vain.
The fragrance of ink mixed with the faint smell of blood hit his face, making him frown instinctively, but then relaxed it quickly.
There is almost no way to cleanse away the smell of blood on everyone in the Demon-Suppressing Division.
