Although there are many retired veterans among the expatriates, they have been away from the army for too long, and their military literacy obviously cannot keep up with the active soldiers.

And there are still a large number of people among the diaspora who have not served in the military.

Fighting with retired veterans not only failed to increase the combat effectiveness of the veterans, but also decreased.

As soon as the squadron leader who commanded them died, many people became headless flies, confused and frightened, not knowing what to do next.

More than a dozen people near the platoon commander of the puppet army took the opportunity to shoot at them.

The shooting distance was very close, and the devil was caught off guard again, and more than a dozen people were shot and fell to the ground on the spot.

A retired second lieutenant took over the command and hurriedly ordered: "Get down, everyone shoots, kill the Imperial Allied Army in front, they want to rebel ......"

With the order of the commander, the combat effectiveness of several dozen diasporas noticeably began to increase.

With the retired veterans as the center, lie on the ground and start to fight back.

The remaining puppet army, which did not move, also joined the battle.

Seeing the devil shooting, everyone understood: now there is no other way to get everyone out of the predicament except to rebel.

As soon as the last of his worries disappeared, he raised his rifle and began to return fire.

Although the overall combat effectiveness of the diaspora is a little stronger than that of the puppet army, there are too few of them.

After a few rounds of shooting, the puppet army actually had the upper hand, and the surviving expatriates retreated while fighting, and the balance of victory seemed to be tilted in favor of dozens of puppet troops a little bit.

"Da Da Da ......"

Suddenly the sound of machine-gun fire rang out behind the expatriate.

Three machine-gun tongues suddenly appeared on the courtyard wall not far away, and the bullets flew over the heads of the expatriates and flew towards the puppet army like rain.

Approaching step by step, the puppet army that was about to win was immediately defeated......

The remaining puppet army was not an opponent at all, and it was wiped out by this sudden Japanese army in two minutes, and there was not a single one alive.

This is the reinforcement that the brigade commander has just sent to the east of the city, a total of four squadrons, two to reinforce the city wall, and two to establish a new defensive line behind the gap in the heavy artillery, responsible for eliminating the Eighth Route Army that may rush in through the gap.

When they first entered the battlefield, they had not yet encountered the Eighth Route Army, and a group of rebelling puppet soldiers accidentally bumped into their guns......

After answering the phone, the communications staff officer of the Japanese headquarters had just hung up when the urgent phone rang.

One phone call after another, like a queue, a steady stream of calls came here.

"General, Chengdong Urgent!" A staff officer put down the phone and was in a hurry to report.

"The siege artillery of the Eighth Route Army was too fierce, and more than half of the more than 300 Imperial Allied troops and police who blocked the gap were killed or wounded in less than 20 minutes, and the remaining puppet troops did not want to continue to block the gap to send them to death, so they turned against the battle and took the Inspector by surprise."

"Fortunately, the reinforcements arrived in time and did not cause a major disaster."

"But without these puppet armies, the garrison in the east of the city will no longer be able to divide the surplus forces to plug the gap. I hope that the headquarters will send them reinforcements, preferably the Imperial Army, which will be responsible for plugging the gap in the city wall, otherwise with the current siege artillery fire of the Eighth Route Army, the city wall will be blown up in another twenty minutes. ”

"If someone plugs the gap, the walls will hold out for at least an hour!"

The brigade commander scolded with anger: "Eight Grid Tooth Road! Where do I have so many reinforcements for them? If there are still more troops in my hands, what do I want these commanders to do? Fighting consumption can hold Datong City. ”

The deputy chief of staff hurriedly reminded: "The general is angry, the east of the city is the main direction of attack of the Eighth Route Army, as long as we hold there, we will definitely be able to hold out until dawn." ”

"It's only half past three, and if the walls are blown up before four o'clock, there will be more than two hours left at dawn the next morning. With the offensive firepower and combat effectiveness displayed by the Eighth Route Army, it will definitely be able to break through the temporary defensive line built by the reinforcements behind the gap and enter the city. ”

"Then they will be strangled with our troops, and it will be useless for the planes to reinforce us."

"So we must find a way to send troops to reinforce them and hold the fortifications."

The brigade commander nodded and ordered: "The gendarmerie has just gathered up how many private armed forces and sent them all to the east gate to plug the gap." ”

The deputy chief of staff shook his head and replied: "There are only more than a hundred people, which is definitely not enough!" ”

"How can it be so little?" The brigade commander asked with a look of suspicion.

Datong is not an ordinary small county town, it is inhabited by a large number of celebrities who surrendered to Japan, including wealthy businessmen, mine owners, officials, and landlords......

In the eyes of the brigade commander, they more or less raised some guards.

Not to mention more, there must be a thousand people in total.

But after such a long time, the gendarmerie found more than a hundred people, and the huge gap made it difficult for him to believe this result.

A look of helplessness flashed on the face of the deputy chief of staff, and then he explained: "General, these Chinese are too cunning. ”

"Don't look at Datong is still in the hands of the imperial army, in fact, many of them are not optimistic about the imperial army."

"In order not to leave a bad impression on the siege of the Eighth Route Army and to make an example, many people disbanded their private armed forces and hid their weapons before dark."

"When the gendarmerie asked them about their needs, they almost all pounced."

"The war is urgent, and the gendarmerie doesn't have so much time and energy to deal with them, so they can only find one by one."

The brigade commander's eyes were red as if they were about to breathe fire, and then he gritted his teeth and scolded: "These treacherous people usually rush to tie up with the imperial army. Now the imperial army is in trouble, and one by one they are running faster than rabbits. ”

"If we can survive this time, when the battle is over, I will definitely go and meet them myself for a while, and make them pay for today's stupidity."

"Since these private forces are unreliable, we can only pin our hopes on the city defense garrisons in the other three directions."

"Pass my order: west of the city, south of the city, and north of the city, each send one hundred and fifty imperial troops and police to reinforce the east of the city."

"Plus more than a hundred private armed men, exactly six hundred."

"Call back the garrison in the east of the city now, the first batch of Chinese to reinforce them is more than a hundred, and they will arrive at the battlefield within ten minutes. Then reinforcements of 450 people rushed over one after another, a total of 600 people. ”

"I have only one request: the city wall cannot be blown up by the Eighth Route Army before five o'clock in the morning."

On the battlefield in the west of the city, a large number of corpses of the Eighth Route Army have fallen outside the city.

However, in order to put maximum pressure on the defending troops, the attacking troops still launched a steady stream of assaults on the city walls in battalion units.

At first, the attacking troops rushed two hundred meters outside the city and could not continue to advance.

As they fought, the blocking fire on the head of the city became significantly weaker, and the attacking troops began to continue to approach the city wall, and now they could rush to more than 100 meters outside the city, lying on the ground and shooting at the Japanese puppet army on the head of the city.

"Boom, boom, boom......"

Three shells smashed into the shape of the city, and a heavy machine gun was right in the middle of the impact point.

The shells exploded and the gunfire stopped abruptly.

The captain not far away saw it in his eyes, and his expression became more and more heavy.

Minus this heavy machine gun, there are still three heavy machine guns left in the city to continue the battle, and there are less than ten light machine guns left.

Such firepower simply could not stop the attacking troops.
