Outside the north gate of Huairen County, nearly 5,000 mutilated corpses of the Yue army were scattered all over the wide open land, some of the devil's corpses were only half of their bodies, and some were crushed into meat paste.

A few vultures screamed from time to time over the corpse, and compared to the extremely miserable scene outside the city, the city of Huairen County was much more lively, full of groups of soldiers in green uniforms, who gathered in the streets and alleys of Huairen City to celebrate the victory of the Battle of Huairen.

Just two hours earlier, the Panzer Division had completely annihilated the main force of the Sakai Wing that was trying to break through from the North Gate, and the more than 5,000 corpses outside the city were the masterpiece of the Panzer Division.

Zhang Biao also commanded the 1st Infantry Division to successfully attack Huairen County, clearing out the recalcitrant devil soldiers in the city.

There were a large number of people gathered on the streets, and although some of their houses were destroyed by the artillery fire during the war, they did not feel the slightest sadness, because the evil devils were beaten away, and from today they can hold up their chests and become human beings again, and they can be dignified Chinese again.

If the house is gone, it can be rebuilt, as long as the evil devil is gone, everything will be fine. Some enthusiastic civilians have already begun to help the soldiers of the Reading Army clean up the battlefield and clear the streets.

Some people also returned to their homes, boiled water, boiled the only eggs and noodles in the house, and served them to the lovely warriors.

Although the entire Huairen County has just experienced a baptism of blood and fire, both the city and the people living here have exuded a vigorous and new atmosphere, a kind of longing for a better tomorrow and a better life.

At the same time that the 1st Infantry Division and the Armored Division successfully captured Huairen County, Zhang Mingyu and Lai San also led the 3rd Infantry Division to launch a general attack on Fengzhen.

In the intermittent attack in the previous two days, the two wings of the Japanese army had almost suffered more than half of the casualties, and Sato shrank the remaining forces into the city, trying to rely on the city wall to resist to the end.

At this time, on the artillery position of the 3rd Division, the artillerymen moved out a mountain gun, field artillery, and 80 mortars.82 mortars, and the engineering units were helping the artillery to build field artillery fortifications.

The whole artillery position was very lively, Sato saw the Reading Army building an artillery position from a distance with a telescope on the city wall, he knew that once the artillery position of the squadron [***] was completed, then he and his subordinates would be hit by fierce fire, Sato wanted to call for air force support, and destroy the artillery position of the people outside the city with aerial fire, but as early as half an hour ago, he received a telegram from the North China Front Command, the air force suffered heavy casualties, and he was unable to fight in a short time, Let Sato carry forward the invincible spirit of the imperial army and defend the city for help.

Sato knew in his heart that reinforcements were impossible, and the air force was even more impossible, and in these two days of fighting, at least more than 50 fighters of the Imperial Army were destroyed by the Shina people, and the headquarters would never let the precious land-based aviation come to die for the sake of their more than 2,000 remnants.

Thinking of this, Sato turned his heart to a captain behind him and said: "Suzuki-kun, you see that no Shina people are building an artillery position, you must know that the artillery team is a big threat to the imperial army, I will strengthen the third squadron to you, so please lead the fifth squadron to strengthen the squadron, immediately go out of the city, and destroy the artillery of the Shina people!" ”

"Hayi!" Captain Suzuki suddenly bowed his head and said, "Guaranteed to complete the task!" ”

Sato's face was heavy and he said, "Suzuki-kun, you must come back alive!" ”

Soon, the city gate of Fengzhen slowly opened, and more than 200 devil soldiers who had been preparing for a long time immediately rushed out and went straight to the location of the artillery of the Reading Army.

The third battalion commander is a leader under Ling Tianbao's original subordinates, named Li Cong, since joining the Reading Army, Li Cong has fought bravely, from a squad leader to the battalion commander, it can be said that he has made great achievements, and he can be regarded as a veteran of a hundred battles.

Especially in the last battle of Baotou, with the strength of one company, a puppet regiment was defeated, and the third battalion has since become one of the three main battalions of the third division.

Li Cong sat on a mound of earth, holding his machete that he didn't know how many little devils' heads had been cut off in one hand, and picked up a piece of dry food that he carried with him in the other, and chewed it in a big gulp.

Suddenly, a platoon commander said: "Battalion commander, the little devil is out!" ”

Hearing this, Li Cong stood up and asked, "How many people are there?" ”

The platoon commander replied, "There are about two hundred people." Looks like it's coming to our artillery! ”

Li Cong took the telescope from the platoon commander, and from the telescope, he saw about 200 devils rushing towards them with bared teeth, and he immediately ordered loudly: "Three companies stay behind, one company and two companies follow Lao Tzu, teach these dogs a good lesson!" ”

Soon, nearly 500 warriors were all assembled and put into battle formation. Li Cong raised his big knife and said, "Brothers, rush! After saying that, he took the lead and rushed forward.

More than 500 warriors and soldiers hula followed, crushing the devil. Soon, two streams of people of different colors collided violently.

In about half an hour, more than 200 devils were all put to the ground, and Li Cong's three battalions suffered very few casualties.

On the city wall, Sato was grieved to see his two squadrons wiped out in less than half an hour, but at this time he was no longer able to send troops out of the city.

Soon, all the artillery of the Reading Force was ready, and with the order of an artillery battalion commander, nearly 100 artillery pieces, large and small, suddenly spit out dazzling fireballs, and the salvo of hundreds of artillery pieces was very spectacular.

A cluster of scarlet fireballs smashed down on the head of the city, and suddenly exploded, from time to time there were devil soldiers were blown away, the entire city wall was constantly fired, the smoke of gunpowder was filled, and the sound of shell explosions drowned out the wails of the soldiers.

In just five minutes, the artillery of the Third Division fired nearly 10,000 shells of various calibers at the head of Fengzhen City, and as soon as the sound of artillery stopped, the soldiers of the Reading Army, who had been preparing for a long time, stood up and shouted to launch an attack on the county seat of Fengzhen!

The snipers of each infantry platoon once again played an inestimable role in this siege warfare, and the light and heavy machine gun grenadiers of the devil soldiers were specially "cared for" by them.

There were at least seven or eight corpses of devils lying next to each machine gun, all of them were shot in the head, and these devil soldiers died without knowing where their killers were.

Under the suppression of snipers and individual sharpshooters, almost all of the few devil machine guns were silent, and the infantry rushed to the city at the fastest speed, and several soldiers piled all the explosives bags prepared in their arms under the city gate, and then detonated them, "boom" There was a loud bang, and the thick wooden city gate was suddenly blown open a big hole.

Several fighters immediately rushed forward, but they were blocked by the fierce fire of the devil's machine-gun positions arranged behind the city gate, and several of the vanguard soldiers immediately fell in a pool of blood.

The follow-up soldiers didn't have time to grieve for the death of their comrades, when they heard a company commander shouting at the top of his voice: "Grenadiers, hurry!" Blew it up for Lao Tzu! ”

Several grenadiers quickly untied the grenadiers behind them, and then quickly set them up, and the sound of several cannon ejections sounded, and then the roaring devil machine gun position in the distance flashed into flames, and after a few fires, the machine guns that were still spitting flames just now were all extinguished.

The soldiers suddenly rushed to the city gate like a tide, and about two hours later, the third division basically controlled the whole city, leaving the garrison headquarters in the center of the city, and about 300 remnants of devils cowered inside to make the last stubborn resistance.

Soon, more and more soldiers of the Reading Army poured in from all over the city, and surrounded the commander of the garrison.

At this time, Sato picked up a rag and wiped his ancestral katana, and the Reading Force outside the headquarters also launched a final attack on the Yue army.

Under the mortar shelling, dust fell from Sato's headquarters from time to time, as if it might collapse at any time, Sato picked up the cold katana with both hands and said loudly: "Long live His Majesty the Emperor!" Then he pushed hard with both hands, and there was a "flutter" sound of a sharp blade piercing into the flesh.

Blood flowed from Sato's mouth, and he muttered inexplicably, "Could it be that the Great Sayben attacked Shina really wrong?" Your Majesty the Emperor, I am not reconciled to ??????????"

Unable to withstand the onslaught of mortars, the remaining remnants of the devils rushed out of the headquarters compound one after another, and the ghosts howled and launched a suicidal charge towards the soldiers of the Reading Army.

He was immediately submerged in the flow of soldiers of the Reading Army. As the last devil was knocked to the ground by countless bayonets, all the warriors erupted in an earth-shattering shout.

Many machine gunners immediately picked up their hands and fired fiercely into the sky, and the sound of "da-da-da" gunshots and the shouts of the soldiers echoed in the sky over Fengzhen for a long time.

Zhang Mingyu was waiting for news at the headquarters, and Lai Sansan walked in and said: "Shizuo, it's defeated, all the devils in the city have been annihilated, and Fengzhen has been recovered!" ”

Zhang Mingyu suddenly got up and said: "Great, the first division has also laid down Huairen, so we have successfully surrounded Datong." ”

Lai San said with a smile: "Yes, and the main force of the devil has almost been wiped out by us, and the recovery of Datong is just around the corner!" ”

"Let's go! Let's go into town! Zhang Mingyu waved his hand and strode out of the command headquarters.

??????????????????

Beiping is the headquarters of the North China Front Army.

Shroud said with a heavy face: "Ishihara-kun, according to the news sent by Kobayashi-kun, the people of China have broken through the two strategic places of Huairen and Fengzhen, and all the warriors of the imperial army defending the city are shattered!" The Datong portal was opened. It won't be long before the people of China will break through Datong. ”

Ishihara said: "Your Excellency the general does not need to be sad, I assure you that the fall of Datong is said to be the time when Zhang Mingyu and the Reading Army perished, and the time will definitely use the blood of the Reading Army to pay tribute to the 30,000 warriors who are loyal to His Majesty the Emperor." ”

Terauchi Shou nodded and said, "I hope this operation can be smooth sailing, by the way, Ishii-kun's plane will arrive in the afternoon!" Go to the airport and meet them! ”

"Hayi!" Ishihara bowed his head suddenly.
