Outside the Dongcheng Gate of Hequ County, on the position of the first battalion, the 1st Reserve Brigade was the main force of the attack, and they engaged three infantry squadrons and one machine gun squadron to fight.

The second reserve brigade was to carry out a diversionary attack at the north city gate, and the two reserve brigades of the Japanese army were to contain the first independent regiment of Hequ County, while the third cavalry regiment, the armored company and the reconnaissance company had quickly gone to Wuzhai County.

The first battalion of the 1st Independent Regiment paid more than 200 casualties, and the remaining officers and soldiers saw that they could not suppress the Japanese attack, they all wanted to quickly withdraw to the city wall to fight, these officers and soldiers were just dealing with the Japanese attack, they looked towards the battalion headquarters from time to time, they were very eager to hear the battalion headquarters convey the order to retreat, they felt that if they continued to hold on to the position, they would not only not be able to hold the position, but also be killed by the devil soldiers.

As soon as their heads were exposed, several fighters were hit by Japanese riflemen and machine gunners, and they were killed on the spot.

Seeing that seven soldiers were killed by the Japanese army again, the officers and men of Jinsui hid in the trenches, and no one dared to show their heads, they felt that if they came out of their heads, not only would they not bring a blow to the Japanese soldiers, but their own lives would be lost.

The morale of the warriors had been greatly damaged, and now all they were expecting was to withdraw the order to fight on the walls, and they were unwilling to hold their positions.

This was the influence of the commander on the soldiers, and when the battalion commander of the major felt that the position could not be held and he wanted to withdraw to the city walls, his troops quickly lost the faith to resist.

Although the Japanese army had three squadrons, if a company of the first regiment in reserve was allowed to defend it, it would not have lost its position so quickly.

"Battalion, did the regiment give the order to retreat, the little devil's artillery is too fierce, if we don't retreat, we will all explain here."

"Let's go to the city wall to garrison, the city wall is very strong, we rely on the city wall as a cover, we will definitely be able to withstand the Japanese attack, so the casualties are too great."

"Yingzuo, you can't take the brothers to death, the brothers have done their best, and we can also have an explanation from Chief Sun."

The battalion commander of the major appeared on the position, and several company platoon commanders hurriedly came to the front of the battalion commander of the major, they looked at the battalion commander in front of them, and said hurriedly.

It's just that the expression on the face of the battalion commander of the major is very uncomfortable, because the one who followed him was Sun Weiguo.

Sun Weiguo walked in front of the battalion commander of the major, his eyes looked at the officers and soldiers of Jinsui, and the expression on his face was very calm.

"Now I will take over the command, and all units will return to their positions, and they will fight according to my orders, and do not shoot indiscriminately from light and heavy machine guns, but follow my orders to shoot. From now on, from 2 to below the position, whoever dares to withdraw from the position without authorization will be killed, and if my Sun Weiguo takes a step back, you can also kill me. ”

Sun Weiguo lay on the trench, he said in a cold tone, and then he took out the binoculars to observe, seeing that many Japanese riflemen began to shoot, Sun Weiguo immediately dodged back into the trench, at this time the devil soldiers were less than a hundred meters away from the trench.

"Grenades are ready, listen to my orders to throw. Don't be stunned, hurry up and prepare for battle, or you will die. ”

Sun Weiguo looked at the officers and soldiers of Jin Sui and looked at him blankly, with a displeased expression on his face, and said angrily.

Hearing Sun Weiguo's curse, the officers and soldiers of Jin Sui began to prepare, and the company platoon commanders returned to their positions.

"Take out the grenade and throw it at my command, you listen to me, it's too late to retreat now, only by repelling this Japanese army, take out the grenade, open the safe, and prepare to pull the line." Sun Weiguo shouted loudly, a determined expression on his face.

Looking at the expression on Sun Weiguo's face, the officers and soldiers of Jinsui were somewhat affected, and most of the soldiers immediately took out grenades.

However, there were still a few fighters who did not react, and they were still lying in the trenches and did not make any moves.

Sun Weiguo held a telescope to observe, the Japanese army was less than 70 meters away from the trench, and he hurriedly asked the major battalion commander to report on the weapons and equipment of the first battalion.

The 1st Independent Regiment was commended by Yan Xishan after fighting in Loufan County, and the troops were replenished with light and heavy weapons, but they only had two heavy machine guns in one battalion, four light machine guns in each company, and four 60MM mortars in the whole battalion, which was all the belongings of the first battalion.

These weapons are much worse than the equipment of a battalion of the first regiment in reserve, but such weapons and equipment are not to mention compared with the Eighth Route Army, even compared with the rich Central Army, they are all weapons that only elite troops have, but compared with the Japanese army, the equipment of the first battalion is too bad.

"Two heavy machine guns were placed at both ends of the position, four mortars were deployed behind the battalion headquarters, and two light machine guns were hit at both ends of each company's defensive position. Sun Weiguo immediately gave an order, and after the battalion commander of the major received Sun Weiguo's order, he nodded, and hurriedly bent down and left to deploy.

"My mother, the little devil is less than fifty meters away from the position, Chief Sun is crazy, let the little devil enter the trench, we people will definitely die."

"Will this Commander Sun command or not, I don't think he wants to kill us, I've been fighting for so many years, and it's the first time I've encountered an enemy who has been put so close to fight."

"I can see what the little devil looks like, what is Chief Sun going to do, if it is a white-knuckle battle, the ten of us are not the opponent of a little devil."

As the Japanese troops got closer and closer to their positions, the officers and soldiers of Jinsui were talking one after another, and their faces showed panicked expressions.

More than a dozen soldiers seemed to be unable to withstand such pressure, and they immediately climbed out of the trenches and desperately fled towards the county seat.

The deserters didn't wait for the Warlords to start shooting, and the imps' bullets beat them into a sieve.

"You have all seen it, now running away is a death, listen to my orders, I guarantee that you can survive, you think about it, I dare to stay here, naturally I am sure to repel the Japanese army, I will not let myself die here." Sun Weiguo shouted loudly.

When the officers and soldiers of Jin Sui heard Sun Weiguo's words, they nodded one after another, but some of the officers and soldiers of Jin Sui directly took out their weapons and shot at the devil soldiers.

"Thirty meters, throw a grenade!" Sun Weiguo shouted loudly.

When more than 200 soldiers of the Jin Sui Army heard Sun Weiguo's words, they quickly threw the grenades in their hands, and one by one the grenades began to fall in the ranks of the Japanese army.
