With the destruction of the Japanese artillery in Mengcheng, the artillery that had not been used earlier finally showed its hideousness at this moment. The main force of the Eighth Route Army, which had already reached the two flanks, also began to exert pressure on the Japanese puppet army at the head of the city under the cover of artillery fire.

Judging from the intensity and frequency of artillery strikes, the defensive pressure on the main city gate is undoubtedly the greatest. But for the Japanese puppet army stationed on both wings, looking at the attacking troops of the Eighth Route Army running out of the shadows, they still did not dare to relax their vigilance, for fear of being broken through the city gate by the Eighth Route Army.

The Mengcheng garrison, who had just experienced a journey from heaven to hell, received a call for help from the city defense troops, and he also looked extremely surprised and worried: "Baga! Where did these eight paths come from? ”

If the previous garrison officer still had the confidence to hold out until dawn, then at this moment, knowing that the Eighth Route Army actually had mountain artillery, this confidence quickly turned into worry. Compared with the previous mortars, the mountain artillery is undoubtedly more powerful.

What shocked the garrison the most was that the Eighth Route Army, which had previously shelled the city wall, had deliberately hidden some artillery. It was not until after urging the destruction of the artillery in the city that the Eighth Route Army finally had no worries and began to bombard the three city walls.

With artillery cover and cooperation, and the Eighth Route Army obviously had more troops than them, the garrison officer felt that it would be difficult to hold on until dawn. But it has come to this, even if he is worried in his heart, he must go all out.

Thinking about this, the garrison officer quickly said: "Assemble the rest of the combat troops in the camp, prepare to reinforce the main city gate, and be sure to block the eight roads outside the city gate." As long as you hold on until dawn, these eight roads will definitely retreat! ”

"Hey! Your Excellency the Garrison, there are still a lot of troops on the side of the Imperial Army, do you want them to help defend the city? ”

"Yes! Tell the officers of the Imperial Allied Army that as long as they fight bravely, they will be rewarded for their merits after victory! ”

"Hey!"

Even if I don't believe in the combat effectiveness of the puppet army, at such a critical juncture, the garrison officer also knows that the more troops, the better. Not to mention anything else, having these puppet troops guarding the city wall should also be able to reduce the pressure on the Japanese army.

It was clear that many puppet soldiers were unprofitable people who could not afford to be early, and the garrison officer also proposed in a timely manner that as long as these puppet troops fought this battle well, they would be rewarded. The garrison felt that with this thrown meat bone, those puppet soldiers should be tempted.

Although the idea was good, the Japanese troops who stayed in the barracks did not know that when they sent a herald and prepared to go to the puppet barracks to give orders. An operational platoon under Qin Tianyou has successfully dealt with the backbone of the recalcitrant puppet army.

The rest of the puppet soldiers honestly squatted on the ground with their heads in their hands, looking at the guards in the barracks armed with submachine guns and machine guns with a look of fear. The little devil is counting on the puppet army to help, I'm afraid it's impossible.

On the contrary, Hu Biao and others, who had been staying outside the barracks, saw that the little devils in the barracks began to assemble in the playground, and Hu Biao, who had been waiting for a long time, immediately said: "Commando prepare!" Artillery squad, start shelling! Attack! ”

In order to surprise the little devils in the barracks, and to hit the little devils in the barracks as hard as possible, Hu Biao has been waiting for an opportunity. This opportunity is for the little devils on standby in the barracks to go out of the barracks and assemble in the playground.

Several mortars were set up in advance, and the explosion point was set in the center of the playground of the little devils. If the barracks of the little devils are shelled, Hu Biao feels that the little devils who can be killed are limited. On the other hand, the playground can catch the little devil off guard.

Sure enough, the Japanese soldiers who heard the whistle and quickly rushed from the barracks to the playground to assemble had just seen their commander preparing to come over to give a lecture. Soon one heard the sound of artillery shells firing from outside the barracks.

When these little devils looked at the place where the sound came from, and looked at the tail flame of the cannonballs flying in the night sky, these little devils were instantly shocked and shouted in horror: "Shelling! Quick, spread out! There are shells! ”

Even if these little devils saw the scene of the cannonballs flying in the sky, they didn't have time to react or dodge. Just as more little devils were looking up at the sky, several cannonballs had already fallen from the sky, and they burst open instantly when they fell to the ground.

The explosion of 'boom boom' sounded, and the originally relatively quiet little devil camp instantly fell into chaos. At the same time, attracted by the sound of the explosion, the little devil who was on guard in front of the barracks soon heard the sound of gunfire coming from his side.

In addition to the sound of gunfire, there were also the corpses of comrades who constantly fell under the muzzle of the gun. One or two little devils who were lucky enough to survive were about to fight back, but they saw a group of mysterious people suddenly rushing from the shadows to the front position of the camp where they were.

The sound of clattering fire sounded, and the little devil who was in charge of guarding the gate of the barracks was quickly knocked to the ground. The little devils in the camp who were hiding from the artillery fire, seeing this scene, also knew that someone was attacking the barracks.

The Japanese garrison officer, who was lucky enough to pick up his life, saw the enemy who had already killed the barracks, and said loudly: "Quick, send a report to the garrison headquarters immediately, we need support!" Damn, we're afraid we'll not make it until dawn! ”

The telegram of the attack, the garrison officer had already sent it, and must hold it until dawn. But to the anger of the garrison, not long after the telegram was sent, the city of Mongolia he was guarding was already in a state of imminent loss.

The Eighth Route Army that appeared outside the city alone, the garrison officer felt that with the help of the city fortifications, or finally fighting in the streets of the city, he could hold out until dawn. Now that the enemy has been killed in the barracks, how can he defend against it next?

What the garrison of Mengcheng did not expect was that not long after he sent this telegram asking for help, the task force that had been dormant for a long time entered the military camp where they were located. After a burst of gunfire, he also fell under the sniper's gun.

The Japanese telegraph operator, who had originally intended to destroy the password, was shot to death by the fighters who rushed into the telegraph room after many documents were burned only a little. The previous shelling caused the little devils in the barracks to be completely defeated.

Even if a small number of little devils resist to the death, they are still no match for the commandos. When the gunfire subsided, many little devils who planned to return to help also said inexplicably: "The battle over there in the barracks is over?" ”

"I don't know! But the phone was never answered! ”

"Na? No way! We still have a squadron of troops in the barracks, and those attackers will not succeed! Damn, follow me back to the barracks at once, and be sure to find out. Before I came back, I resisted the attack of the Chinese army with all my might! ”

"Hey!"

The idea of returning to the reinforcement camp was good, but the Japanese army underestimated the will of the puppet army to resist. Faced with these little devils who withdrew from the city wall, a puppet army soon said: "Why did these little devils go?" Damn, they won't want to leave us and run away, will they? ”

"Damn! They go, let's go, continue to stay on the city wall, sooner or later they will be killed by shells. I'm afraid I can't hold this city! ”

Without the supervision of the little devils, these puppet armies who themselves play soy sauce also began to desert in twos and threes. The puppet army, which knew the capture policy of the Eighth Route Army, was not at all worried that after the Eighth Route Army recovered Mengcheng, they would lose their lives.

After all, they had heard of the Eighth Route Army's policy of preferential treatment of prisoners. Compared to staying on the city wall, where you may be killed by falling shells, it is undoubtedly the wisest choice to retreat from the city wall and find a place to hide.

The puppet army with a strong herd mentality, as long as someone dares to take the lead in escaping, the rest of the puppet army will also learn from it. As a result, it is obvious that the few little devils left are powerless to stop these puppet soldiers who are deserters from running down the city wall.

The Eighth Route Army, which was in charge of the feint outside the city, found that the firepower on the city wall had suddenly decreased a lot, and soon a company commander said: "Keep moving forward!" The little devils on the city wall seem to have run out! Demoman, get ready! ”

Originally, according to the agreement, the Eighth Route Army, which was responsible for the feint outside the city, needed to wait for the task force inside the city to open the city gate before entering the city. Seeing that the Japanese puppet army on the city wall had fled, the Eighth Route Army that feinted quickly felt that this was the best opportunity to break the city.

They couldn't blow down the city walls, as long as they could blow open the city gates, they could rush into the city and hunt down the Japanese puppet army who tried to escape. With this discovery, the battalion and company commanders also quickly made adjustments and organized the demomen to prepare to blow up the city gates.

Sure enough, the Demoman managed to rush to the city gate and set the explosives bag on fire. The rest of the officers and soldiers of the Eighth Route who were on standby soon heard the battalion commander who led the team say: "Comrades, prepare to enter the city!" ”

With a few loud bangs, the originally closed city gate collapsed in an instant. Seeing this scene, the battalion commander immediately said loudly: "Trumpeter, blow the trumpet." Rush with me, rush into the city, and kill the little devils! Comrades, rush! ”

For these officers and soldiers of the Eighth Route Army, they were more willing to rely on their own strength to solve the battle than to sit back and enjoy their success. On the other hand, Hu Biao and others who stayed in the city also seemed a little surprised when they heard the sound of the charge from outside the city.

Then he said: "Listen to the sound of the trumpet, it should be from the south of the city." pillar, take a platoon over, and pick up the Eighth Route Army entering the city. Order the special second company to begin to outflank the Japanese puppet army on the city wall, and receive the Eighth Route Army outside the city into the city! ”

"Yes, detachment leader!"

Although I don't know what happened to the south of the city, hearing the charge signal means that the Eighth Route Army has entered the city. In order to avoid too many casualties of the Eighth Route Army entering the city, Hu Biao felt that he should send more people to meet it.

Fortunately, now that the military camp has been defeated, the puppet army has also been controlled, and the only remaining troops in the city are the Japanese puppet army that is still sticking to the city wall. Now that the Eighth Route Army has entered the city from the south of the city, the remaining defenders are not to be worried.

Sun Weimin, who was commanding the troops to contain the Japanese army at the head of the city, was also extremely surprised and shocked when he learned that the three battalions that had feinted to attack the south of the city had successfully blown up the city gate and attacked the city. Fortunately, he knew that having a battalion into the city could also relieve the pressure on his side.

And the Japanese puppet army, which was still holding on to the city wall at this moment, learned that the attacking Eighth Route Army had entered the city, and immediately realized that something was wrong. The puppet army, which had been coerced before, finally couldn't hold on anymore and began to find a way to slip away and no longer continue to cooperate with the resistance.

Wait for Qin Tianyou to lead the special second company to start a flank attack on the defenders on the city wall from inside the city. The little devils on the city wall finally understood that they were gone. The result of the loss of Mengcheng is that no one can change it!
