Huaiyin has been shrouded in gunsmoke, and there have been fights in all directions, and the general commander has also figured out the situation at the east gate, that is, the battalion commander Xie Zhengxiang wanted to surrender to the enemy, but the matter was revealed, and the people led by the deputy battalion commander Daozi fought.

"Holy shit, Xie Zhengxiang, this bastard, I'm going to peel off his skin!"

When he learned that Xie Zhengxiang had defected to the enemy, Yuan Guangtao, the deputy captain of the commander-in-chief, was so angry that he stomped his feet.

He, Xie Zhengxiang, and others were all parachuted into the Northern Jiangsu Guerrilla Corps from the Theater Command, and they were on the same front, and they had been fighting openly and secretly with the local officers of the Northern Jiangsu Guerrilla Corps.

Now Xie Zhengxiang's defection to the enemy has pushed him to the forefront all of a sudden, and now he is so angry that he scolds again and again, and he is also eager to break up relations with Xie Zhengxiang and them.

No one thought that at this juncture, someone would defect to the enemy, and such a fuss made the already panicked people even more panicked.

"Sir Yuan, now Xie Zhengxiang and three companies of men have occupied the east gate, if they can't be recaptured as soon as possible, once the devil enters the city from the east gate, then my Huaiyin defenders will be attacked on their backs."

Now that the situation has taken a turn for the worse, Lei Xiong, the operational staff officer, also understands that it is not a question of who is responsible, but to defend Huaiyin.

"Yes, yes, immediately send someone to the east gate and snatch the east gate back for me!" After such a reminder, Yuan Guangtao also came back to his senses and hurriedly ordered.

If the east gate is lost, then there will be a huge gap in the entire Huaiyin defense line, once it causes a chain reaction, the defense line is likely to collapse, and everyone realizes the seriousness of the problem.

"Commander Zhang has already gone up with two companies of brothers, but Xie Zhengxiang has a machine gun company in his hand, and the firepower is ......very strong," the communications staff officer added.

Xie Zhengxiang took the brothers of three companies to join the enemy, and the brothers of these three companies were originally unwilling to join the enemy.

But they were fooled by Xie Zhengxiang and led them to fight with the people led by the deputy battalion commander Dao on the street for a while.

When these brothers realized that they had been used as guns, it was too late, after all, there were already brothers who had died at their hands, and when they saw blood, it was not easy to think about it anyway.

Xie Zhengxiang stood up again is a promise of high-ranking officials and money, so that these coerced brothers have to follow Xie Zhengxiang to join the enemy, which can be said to be very helpless.

"Two companies were transferred from the fifth battalion of the West Gate, and the guard company was also pressed up!"

Deputy Captain Yuan Guangtao knew the importance of the East Gate, and after pondering for a moment, he gave the order.

"Yes!"

Soon after, the brothers called the fifth battalion at the west gate and asked them to send two companies to fight at the east gate.

At this moment, the devil is also attacking the West Gate, and the defense is already very difficult, and now he has to transfer two companies of people to leave, and Liu Zhi, the commander of the fifth battalion, is also very helpless.

When the officers and men of the Northern Soviet Guerrilla Corps were actively mobilizing in the city to cope with the complicated situation.

Xie Zhengxiang, who seized the east gate, also knew very well that although they had three companies of people in captivity, once the Northern Jiangsu Guerrilla Corps dispatched troops to counterattack, he might not be able to defeat him.

So after repelling a wave of attacks, he immediately sent someone to contact the devils, hoping that the devils would come over for reinforcements immediately.

The captain of the devils, Yamaguchi Akamatsu, led people to attack at the south gate, but in the face of the strong resistance of the first battalion led by the blacksmith and the second battalion of Wu Changqing, the devils attacked several times in vain, so they sent people to the west gate in an attempt to find another breakthrough point.

When Xie Zhengxiang sent someone to the devil's camp to explain the situation, the devil's captain Yamaguchi Chimatsu immediately laughed, it was really another village.

"Order the Matsui Infantry Squad, Yoshino Infantry Squad, Nagayama Infantry Squad, and Tagawa Artillery Squad to immediately rush to the east gate and open a breakthrough at the east gate."

Soon, the mighty Devil Reserve Force turned its head and rushed straight to the east gate, preparing to attack through the east gate to threaten the flank of the defenders.

The Yamaguchi Infantry Brigade is the powerhouse of the Kwantung Army, and it is not comparable to those security forces composed of supplementary troops, and their style is even stronger.

Deputy Captain Zhang Liechen personally commanded the troops to attack the rebels at the East Gate, trying to recapture the East Gate and stabilize the defensive line.

"Rush!"

The brothers continued to rush forward on the streets where bullets were raining down, although Xie Zhengxiang howled again and again, but after all, the three brothers were all coerced, and many people were actually reluctant to shoot at the former robes.

In just half an hour, Xie Zhengxiang and their several barricade positions were broken through, and only the last position that leaned on the city wall remained.

"Whoever dares to retreat again, Lao Tzu will kill him!"

Xie Zhengxiang's face was also covered with blood, and in the face of the officers and soldiers who retreated again and again, he directly shot and killed a few people, and finally stabilized his position.

"Attack, don't stop!"

Deputy Captain Zhang Liechen knew that the longer the time dragged on, the more unfavorable the situation would be for them, although the casualties were somewhat large, he still gritted his teeth and demanded a continuous attack.

"Brothers of the guard company, rush with me!"

Soon, the brethren, panting, once again launched a pounce on the rebel positions at the east gate, trying to crush the place in one fell swoop.

"Boom!"

However, when they had just rushed out more than 100 meters, a cannonball smashed down on their heads and faces, and the cannonball exploded in the street, and the scorching air wave swept through, and many brothers were directly blown away, and their flesh and blood were splashed for a while.

"Devil, devil called!"

The brothers of the guard company hurriedly dodged behind the obstacles everywhere, and through the rising smoke of gunpowder, they saw a large number of little devils with bayonets coming in a steady stream, and the shells just now were fired by the devils.

The attack was blocked, and the deputy captain Zhang Liechen was also taken aback, hurriedly grabbed the binoculars and looked, and saw the devil steel helmets that were moving forward, and his face suddenly sank, knowing that the situation was not good.

"Sir, there's a little devil on the flank!"

At this moment, an observation post on the roof pointed to the side alley and shouted at Zhang Liechen in panic.

"Withdraw, withdraw!"

The devil has already appeared at the east gate, and if he continues to fight, he will only suffer a loss, and the deputy captain Zhang Liechen immediately gave the order to retreat.

The brothers who were covered in blood and smoke were about to take back the east gate, and now the devil suddenly appeared, which made them very unwilling.

But in the face of the powerful little devils, they didn't dare to be careless, and they retreated back under alternate cover.

"Hahahaha, brothers, the imperial army has come to support us, kill!"

At this moment, Xie Zhengxiang saw that the devil was coming, and he suddenly laughed wildly as if he was in a desperate situation.

The situation on the battlefield was reversed in an instant, and the momentum of both sides was also declining, and the rebels and devils launched a pursuit operation along the streets against the defeated guerrilla officers and soldiers, and soon occupied several streets.

"Report, the devil has entered the city from the east gate, Chief Zhang is leading people to fight and retreat, Chief Zhang asked the general commander to organize a retreat immediately, Huaiyin can't hold it."

Soon, the news reached the general finger, which immediately plunged the general finger into a panic.

"What is Zhang Liechen doing to eat, so many people can't snatch the East Gate back!"

Instead of taking the east gate back, the devil broke into the city, and the deputy captain Yuan Guangtao was so angry that he dropped the cup.

"Chief Yuan, while there are no large-scale devils blocking the north gate, let's quickly organize a retreat." Operational staff officer Lei Xiong recovered from his panic and hurriedly suggested.
