Another hour passed, and at half past seven in the morning, the Japanese lost more than two hundred men, more than one rifle squadron.

The battle is far from over.

The Chinese army's strongholds on the ground were constantly being eliminated and soldiers killed, but new sniper points were constantly popping up.

The Japanese army had absolute superiority.

As soon as they found out where there was a fighting stronghold of the Chinese army, they bombarded it with grenadiers and mortars, and the heavy artillery fire quickly destroyed all bravery and will.

The infantry brigade of a complete field corps of the Japanese army had more than 80 grenadiers, more than a dozen mortars, several mountain guns, two infantry guns, several battle defense guns, and some machine guns, and the firepower was still quite strong.

The Japanese artillery was highly skilled and accurate, and could often quickly kill and injure the strongholds of the resistance forces.

The shells continued to explode, corpses and flesh flew everywhere, and after the county town was ploughed by last night's artillery fire, it was in ruins, and the land and floating ashes were scorching hot, and in many places, people could not pass through.

Now, the ruins of the county town are stained with blood and corpses from protracted fighting, smeared with a terrifying bright red.

The Japanese army killed the red eye.

They stabbed the ruins with bayonets everywhere, looking for entrances and exits to the tunnels, and were not afraid of being attacked at all.

At first, they bombarded it with grenades, but later, when the grenades ran out, they found the tunnel and shot inside.

Later, some devils jumped directly into the fight.

The people in the tunnel are also gradually getting stronger, looking at the wounded soldiers around them, listening to the cries of the devils outside, the ghosts cry and howl wolves, and the most cowardly people also know that this time, between them and the enemy, they can't be good!

Since there is no way out, let's fight hard!

At half past seven, the Chinese army in the underground tunnels in the county town was left with only more than 50 wounded and an infantry battalion, and all the troops were wiped out.

Their weapons, taken over by ordinary citizens, continued to fight.

More than 300 citizens were killed and more than 200 were injured.

The new citizen takes the pistol and continues to deal with the enemy.

Block the entrances and exits to prevent the enemy from sneaking up, find other entrances and exits, and continue to attack the enemy!

No one is timid, no one escapes, and some people are all soldiers, desperate for their lives.

Young people are all thrown into battle.

The Sakurai Brigade of the Japanese Army was a unit that entered the city to sweep up.

They are lucky, because it is very rare to be able to attack the county seat and get the honor of slaughtering the city.

Sakurai Shaosa, who has been blown up.

Captain Fujii, took over the command.

Now, Takada Shaosa is by his side, as an adviser.

Fujii looked at Takada's eyes, a little less disdainful.

It turned out that he looked down on Takada Shaozuo very much, an infantry brigade, was actually wiped out by a small militia guerrilla group under the command of the Eighth Route Army, which was simply a big joke in the world, and now it seems that it is indeed not so simple.

The Chinese resistance is too fierce!

Sakurai Brigade, more than 1,200 people, from last night, to now, only more than 500 people left?

It's miserable!

On the ground, there are corpses of Japanese soldiers everywhere!

There are many more corpses of Chinese troops.

Tubalu, sure enough, is Tubalu, and their clothes are all the clothes of the common people.

It's horrible!

A group of ordinary people actually killed and injured so many soldiers of the regular army of the imperial army?

"Your Excellency Takada, the Shina people have dug so many tunnels in the county seat, why don't you make it clear to our Captain Sakurai? It was you who deliberately misled us and caused such a large number of casualties! Fujii snorted angrily at Takada.

Takada Shaozuo's face was full of panic, and the tragic battle made him have some sickly red tides on his face.

"I'm sorry, Fujii-kun, I didn't know the enemy would do this, digging so many trenches underground, it's a genius invention!"

Some Japanese officers and men have developed a strong sense of fear, and they are reluctant to search for some suspicious places.

"Stop attacking! Don't make unnecessary sacrifices! "Captain Fujii directly ceased the battle and ordered the entire army to retreat.

This made Takada Shaozo extremely shocked: "No, this will make the wing captain angry!" ”

Captain Fujii gritted his teeth and said, "Our Captain Sakurai will also be angry, but he has already died in battle!" The enemy is very cunning, this is an enemy that has never been met before, he is really a genius, no, a ghost, he can actually think of digging so many tunnels and underground tunnels in a small county town, extending in all directions, constantly attacking the imperial army from many entrances and exits, but we can't do anything! ”

Takada Shaozo thought for a moment: "There are two best methods, Fujii-kun, one, go to the outside villages to capture a large number of people in China, force them to strike, go to the underground tunnels to eliminate the people of China, these are our human shields, the second one, use poison gas, pour it into the tunnel, the same method is also, irrigate the water from the moat outside the city, and drown them!" ”

Captain Fujii was in a better mood at this time: "I'm sorry, Takada-kun, I was in a violent mood just now, I was offended, please forgive me, your advice is very good!" Me, we have to change our tactics, you see, we have lost more than half of our infantry brigade, what a terrible loss! ”

Takada Shaozo grinned and laughed at himself: "The losses of the Sakurai brigade are indeed not small, but you have eliminated more of the Shina army and achieved fruitful results, while my brigade has been completely shattered!" ”

Fujii told all the attacking troops to retreat and report to Tachibana Daisa.

Tachibana Osa is on a section of the castle wall of the county seat, where a relatively intact building is still maintained, and you can observe the entire county and the surrounding area from a high vantage point.

"It's okay, the enemy is so stubborn, beyond our expectations, Sakurai-kun's jade shatter is a heavy loss to our imperial soldiers, Captain Fujii, you did a very good job, Takada-kun, you are also amazing!"

Tachibana Osa asked Fujii to immediately organize staff officers and plan a specific tactical plan.

Personally, he continued to look into the distance with a telescope.

Takada endured the pain and sat aside.

Because Tachibana Osa and Takada Shaosa did not belong to the same brigade group, the surprise of their military ranks did not affect their friendship.

Tachibana Osa observed and asked, "Takada-kun, why do you think I can easily agree with Fujii-kun's opinion?" ”

Takada Shaozo thought about it and cautiously: "This is a tactical need, we must reduce losses, the battle in the city is too tragic." The enemy is too insidious. ”

Tachibana Dazuo put down the binoculars and smiled faintly: "Well, of course, but, guess it, is the leader of the enemy army, Yang Chaoran, in the underground tunnels of the county seat?" ”

Takada Shaozuo was stunned, he had never thought about it before.

"I don't know! Maybe not, yes, definitely not, he is very cunning, much more cunning than the average regular army officer of China, and he is also very dangerous! He must be on the periphery, waiting for the opportunity, he likes to fight inside and outside! Never sit back and wait in the county. ”

Tachibana Osa nodded: "Last time, your troops thought that they had captured them, and consumed a lot of shells, but there was no result, this time, I think, they are around!" No, behind us! ”
