Seeing that the first shot didn't work, the Hubei City Gate was stronger than he imagined. Zhou Tong, who felt the gloom on his face, personally picked up a shell and stuffed it into the chamber. When the second shell accurately hit the city gate, when the smoke cleared, all the cadres and soldiers realized that the two Qiwushan shells had not completely blown up the city gate.

Although in the lower half of the city gates, a small gate was blown open. But this is still quite insufficient for a battalion of attacking troops. At this time, the Japanese puppet army, which had completely woken up at the head of the city, had already beaten down the light and heavy machine guns and * in their hands as if they didn't want money.

Although after discovering that the Japanese puppet army was firing, the light and heavy machine guns and mortars responsible for suppressing the supporting fire on the castle also opened fire immediately. But after all, it was a back attack, and it was never able to completely suppress the firepower on the city. The heavy machine gun is easy to say, but the riflemen of the Japanese puppet army hiding behind the battlements of the city wall, as well as the puppet army who threw *, could not be completely suppressed.

Seeing the three battalions blocked in the cave of the city gate, dozens of casualties were killed and wounded in a short period of time. Zhou Tong, who launched a ruthless attack, ignored the dense bullets fired at the head of the city and in the city. Covered the cannon with a quilt of water, and led the artillery, under the cover of light and heavy machine gun fire desperately tilting bullets towards the city, the 41-type mountain gun was forced forward, and advanced another 100 meters.

This distance, which can already be said to be within the distance of a bayonet on a cannon. Scattered shrapnel could even hurt the artillerymen themselves. But at this time, Zhou Tong, who was already red-eyed, couldn't take care of anything. Once again, the shells carried were carefully selected before being filled into the chamber.

It wasn't until after the explosion of the third shell that the gate, which had been blown out of two large holes, but still standing, collapsed with a bang. Without waiting for the smoke from the explosion of the third shell to fall, the fourth shell fired by Zhou Tong directly entered the city along the hole in the city gate that had been unobstructed.

And almost at the same time that the city gate fell, in the direction of the attack of the second battalion in the north of the city, there was also a loud noise. Although he didn't know what was going on in the second battalion, Shen Ping didn't pay attention to it. When he saw that the city gate had exploded, he got up from the ground with a brisk step. Carrying his shell gun, he shouted and rushed.

With his three battalions, under the cover of a heavy machine gun that blocked the hole in the city gate and prevented the Japanese puppet army in the city from going out of the city to counterattack, he rushed along the hole in the city gate towards the bombed city gate. And a company of the puppet army in the city tried to counterattack under the supervision of more than ten Japanese soldiers. As a result, it happened to encounter the three battalions that rushed in.

The two armies looked at each other and what else could they say, and they collided fiercely. It's just a puppet army that is not strong in combat effectiveness, and there is a red-eyed opponent of the three battalions. With a bayonet and * down, the puppet army even took the lead in the battle despite the desperate efforts of the Japanese army supervising the battle. But still in a short period of time, the whole company collapsed after being beaten.

After less than ten minutes of fighting, a company of puppet soldiers only ran back half a platoon. The rest were either killed or thrown to the ground with their guns thrown in their hands, while the men knelt on the ground and raised their hands. As for the more than ten Japanese soldiers who supervised the battle, they were all left around the city gate.

After defeating the counterattack of a company of the puppet army, Shen Ping did not make any stops. Command your subordinate troops, immediately divide the troops into two routes according to the predetermined plan, and clear the Japanese puppet army on the city wall all the way. One road was commanded by himself, and it quickly spread out into the city, rushing along the street to the depths.

At this time, Zhou Tong didn't care about the red face of the old man, and led his troops to push this 41-type mountain cannon, and quickly followed the troops into the city. And the machine gun platoon to which the third battalion belonged also rushed in with the main force of the third battalion. At this time, inside and outside the entire Hubei County, there was already a sound of gunfire everywhere.

The previous attack was not smooth, and the brothers who had been opposite each other day and night since they joined the army fell in a short period of time, which made the third battalion red-eyed from top to bottom. After attacking the city, the whole camp was up and down, and at this time there was a great momentum of God blocking and killing God and Buddha blocking*. Far from the gun, near directly on the bayonet, *.

There was no even need to do pre-war mobilization, the battalion commander and instructor just said that the regiment commander was watching us from behind. The troops screamed like a pack of tigers coming out of the mountains. A company that climbed the city wall swept all the way under the command of the instructors of the third battalion. Shen Ping commanded two companies, and used the company as a formed soldier to divide into two roads, and quickly interspersed into the city.

Seeing that the troops had rushed in, Li Ziyuan put down the binoculars in his hand and secretly breathed a sigh of relief in his heart. As long as you enter the city, this battle is basically not too suspenseful. The question now depends on the length of time it takes to resolve the battle and whether it can completely end the battle in the county within the time frame that one envisions.

Compared with Li Ziyuan, who fell to the ground with a stone, Qian Peng beside him was a little uncomfortable. Other units are similar to the combat mobilization of the third battalion, and it is not unheard of when he goes down as a special commissioner. But generally it is the head of the regiment and the commissar, or the head of the regiment. Looking at us from behind, there was absolutely no mention of the regimental commander.

In today's battle, the commander of the third battalion actually only mentioned that the regiment commander was watching us from behind, not to mention his acting political commissar, and even Ma Yongcheng, the political commissar, did not mention a word, and the morale of this unit was obviously raised by a level. Qian Peng, who noticed this, felt a little uncomfortable in his heart.

His hard work in the army during this period of time has not been less, but this army still only listens to Li Ziyuan, the head of the regiment, and his acting political commissar seems to not exist. It is said that the military commander has the final say on the battlefield, Li Ziyuan's troop habit is that the gun goes off, and the regiment commander's determination is above all else, but the difference in treatment is too obvious.

However, in the end, it was the command organ that came down, although Qian Peng felt a little uncomfortable in his heart. But he also knew that this was not the time to disturb Li Ziyuan's decision, so he quickly adjusted his mood. His face was still as usual, just like Shen Ping's words, he didn't hear it at all, but he was still very unconvinced in his heart.

Qian Peng didn't know that the reason why Li Ziyuan had such a high prestige in the army was not just because of his ability to fight. It is because he treats the warriors as if they were his own brothers. No matter how critical the situation was, he never left a single wounded behind. He has never traded the lives of a soldier for weapons and equipment.

The troops followed him to fight hard and fought bloodily, and when Li Ziyuan founded the Hubei Guerrilla Army, the capital at the beginning of the family is now only a few people. From the founding of the unit to the present, cadres and fighters have been replaced in just a few years. There were even a few bloody battles, and the troops were almost exhausted.

But no matter how many casualties he suffered on the battlefield, Li Ziyuan's prestige has never declined, which is not something that can be clearly said in one sentence or two. It's not just that you can fight a war to make it clear. There is a bottom in my heart to fight with the regiment commander, and this is not something that one soldier or two soldiers said.

If you are injured, you don't have to worry about being abandoned, not to mention, their regiment commander will try his best to get medicine for them to treat. Even if you don't eat or drink yourself, you must ensure their nutrition. Fighting with Li Ziyuan sometimes suffered heavy casualties, but he never let any soldier die in vain.

Maybe it will take a while for Qian Peng to truly realize this truth. He is different from Li Ziyuan, Li Ziyuan joined the army in the front-line army. At the beginning, because of his young age, he first worked as a propagandist in the political department, and also worked as a member of the art troupe for a few days. Later, because he knew how to write, he became a mimeographer, a propaganda officer, and a security officer.

Until this time, he was sent from the main battalion as a security officer to Li Ziyuan's army as a deputy political commissar. On his resume, he has almost always worked in government agencies, and he has very little time in the grassroots army. There are few times to lead troops on the front line, so naturally he is not very clear about some things.

It's just that compared to the third battalion, the fighting is very lively, and after a loud bang on the second battalion, the gunfire seems to be very rare. The commander of the second battalion only reported to the regiment that he commanded the troops to attack the city. Listening to the dry words, Li Ziyuan shook his head and said nothing. With Qian Peng and He Sanliang, they took the regimental headquarters and walked quickly towards the city.

And Shen Ping and his three battalions in front of him were almost red-eyed. As long as there is a gun, it is a * plus a machine gun to go up. Along the way, he led his troops on a rampage, ignoring the scattered puppet troops around him, and went straight to the puppet division headquarters and the Japanese military police.

His instructor had by this time cleared the walls of the upper enemy. Seeing his partner's posture, he could only take two companies from the flank to clean up his back. It's just that when the third battalion rushed to the pseudo-division headquarters, they were stunned to find that they were still a step late, and the second battalion was cleaning up the battlefield there.

It turned out that the 2nd Battalion did not use artillery when attacking the North Gate. Instead, he used the cover of night to infiltrate directly outside the city gates. Carefully before the battle began, a hole was dug under the city gate and five kilograms of * were buried. When the east gate was struck, it was directly ignited*.

It took the three artillery pieces here to blow up the city gate, and a * bag on the second battalion side solved the problem. After blowing up the city gate, the commander of the second battalion took advantage of the attention of the Japanese puppet army to be attracted by the third battalion, and took two companies to capture a stunned puppet army platoon commander. Copying an alley, he directly killed the puppet army division.

At this time, the puppet army on the periphery was still blocking the three battalions on the periphery and had not yet been able to withdraw. As a result, the second battalion made a preemptive strike, using the puppet army uniforms taken off at the city gate, disguised as a rout, and first caught the chief of staff of the puppet division who saw them coming, brandished a pistol and shouted for resistance. The guard company of the puppet army division headquarters was all disarmed.

When the surrounding puppet army retreated all the way here, he closed the gate of the puppet army division headquarters, and directly came to a closed door to beat the dogs, and disarmed all the puppet troops who retreated here. Until the third battalion rushed over, there were still puppet army stragglers who were beaten in a circle, and they were disarmed after running in continuously.

The tactics of fishing in troubled waters can be said to have been brought into full play by the second battalion. When the pseudo-division headquarters was solved, almost not a single shot was fired. When the puppet soldiers who retreated found that something was wrong with the surroundings, they could only honestly disarm in the face of the muzzles of the surrounding black holes. The seized weapons and ammunition were piled up in the small courtyard of the puppet army division headquarters, and the black-pressed prisoners squatted on the ground.

However, Huo Yan, who had already taken over as the commander of the second battalion at this time, was very kind to leave the Japanese military police and the pseudo-plainclothes team headquarters to him. These Japanese puppet army organs are all on the same street, and the strength is only two companies of the second battalion, because the strength is slightly insufficient, the puppet division headquarters and the county government are taken down first. For the Japanese puppet army in other directions, it can only be seen that part of the troops can be sent first.
