Hearing the explosion, Akita couldn't help but be stunned, and at this moment, he saw two clouds of smoke rising from the position of his infantry gun, and a figure could be faintly seen flying in the smoke. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ｂｉｑUｇE。 ｉｎｆｏ

Before he could comprehend it, mortar shells kept flying in the sky, accurately falling on the ranks of the Imperial army that had just completed the assembly preparations, and with the continuous rising pillars of smoke, the corpses of the Imperial soldiers were blown all over the field, and the entire road was full of explosions, shrapnel flying everywhere, and the screams of the wounded soldiers were everywhere in pain.

Seeing the Imperial soldiers flying out of the explosion one by one, Akita was in a trance, and he didn't understand what was going on.

Since he set foot on the Chinese battlefield, he has seen a lot of imperial troops ravaging the Chinese troops who dare to block them with artillery fire, and of course he is also used to seeing bloody scenes on the battlefield, but it is mostly the blood shed by the opponent, and now it is all the imperial soldiers who have fallen, and this strong reaction makes him unable to adapt for a while.

A devil officer standing next to him was stunned when he saw the deputy captain, and then heard the sound of cannonballs whistling in the sky, his face couldn't help but change, and he suddenly flew up and pressed the deputy captain to the ground.

Immediately afterward, the shells exploded violently not far away, and a heat wave flew in, carrying sand and gravel fragments in all directions, and Akita only felt like a small boat in the stormy seas, in danger of being destroyed at any time.

Qin Yonghe had never commanded a battle with such powerful artillery support, and when he saw the devils in front of the mountain being blown up by his own shells, he ran around and screamed again and again, and his heart rose with indescribable pleasure.

The artillery arranged on the mountain ridge fired a base number of shells in one breath, and really plowed the devils on the road fiercely, and then, under the command of Qin Yonghe, the heavy machine guns transferred to the reserve positions roared again, and at the same time, the light machine gunners and soldiers rushed out of the mountain ridge with shouts and launched a final attack on the devils.

Knowing that there were only two squadrons of devils who went out of the city to reinforce, Qin Yonghe was thinking about how to eat this group of devils.

In the past, eating the devils of two squadrons in one go, it was something that Qin Yonghe didn't even dare to think about, but now it is different, he has so many mortars in his hands, as well as heavy machine guns and light machine guns, under such a powerful firepower, it is lucky that the devils can still have half of them left.

At this time, it is not a dead hand, but when.

Taking advantage of his illness to kill him is a topic that the detachment leader often talks about.

Hearing the shouts of the New Fourth Army around him, Yoshino, the leader of the second squadron of the Japanese army, got up from the ground in embarrassment, looked around nervously, and found that there were only sparse figures on the road, and more soldiers on the ground who kept calling for help.

At this moment, the heavy machine guns of the New Fourth Army in the distance roared again, knocking down the Imperial soldiers in front one by one, and the rest of the soldiers were beaten to the ground and couldn't raise their heads at all.

Turning his eyes to the deputy captain, he couldn't find the deputy captain, Yoshino's heart tightened, and he hurriedly ran over, and saw an imperial officer covered in blood pressing on the body of the deputy captain Akita, he immediately went over and pulled the officer who had already died away, and when he saw that the deputy captain didn't seem to be injured, he breathed a sigh of relief and hurriedly pulled him up.

"Captain Akita, it's not good, we are surrounded by the New Fourth Army, quickly give the order to withdraw." Yoshino had already discovered at this time that the general trend had gone, and the New Fourth Army in front was constantly approaching, and if he didn't retreat, I was afraid that tonight would be his own death.

The two squadrons that went out of the city to reinforce were already killed or wounded by the powerful firepower of the New Fourth Army, and even the commander of the third squadron was unfortunately shot and crushed.

"Retreat? Where to retreat? Akita glanced around blankly, and found that there were Chinese shouting and killing in front and left and right, and couldn't help but hesitate.

"Captain Akita, we were ambushed by the New Fourth Army, I have reported to the captain, we withdraw to the county seat, and he will send troops to meet us." Yoshino didn't expect the deputy captain to lose his mind by the sudden blow, so he had to say in a hurry.

"Okay, let's withdraw to the county seat first." Akita gritted his teeth and said when he saw that the soldiers on the periphery could not stop retreating under the attack of the Chinese.

Seeing that Akita agreed, Yoshino immediately ordered the third squadron of the third squadron to break off and cover the retreat of the rest of the troops.

The leader of the third squadron had already died, and the third squad was considered the lighter unit in the entire unit, with more than thirty soldiers.

When the third squad leader heard Yoshino's order, he was immediately annoyed, but the Japanese army has always been the supremacy of commanders, although Yoshino is not his boss, but his rank is higher than him, and his position is bigger than him, so he can only hatefully order his subordinates to take up arms and resist on the spot.

It's a pity that Akita and Yoshino still overlooked the combat ability of the Japanese army, and the troops who attacked the devils, after a period of strong training, their tactical movements were not inferior to the Japanese army, and when they encountered the troops left by Yoshino, those soldiers did not blindly attack bravely, but lay down on the spot, and then followed the grenadiers and immediately continued to fire cannons, blowing up the devils lying on the ground one by one, and then taking advantage of the devils to be overwhelmed, they immediately rushed up with alternate cover.

Qin Yonghe saw that the remaining more than 100 devils began to retreat on the mountain ridge, and immediately ordered mortars to intercept the retreating team of devils, and countless shells immediately flew out, constantly exploding in the retreating ranks of devils, blowing up one devil after another into the sky.

Akita and Yoshino knew that this was not the time to hide, so they could only order their troops to retreat regardless of casualties, and after losing more than sixty soldiers, they finally withdrew to the range of the New Fourth Army's artillery fire.

However, in order to get rid of the attack on the two flanks of the New Fourth Army, Akita lost more than 30 Japanese soldiers.

Looking at the sparse figure behind him, Akita couldn't help but feel sad.

You must know that he brought reinforcements out of the city, but there are less than fifty people left in two complete infantry squadrons, and so many soldiers have fallen on this land, he is really ashamed of His Majesty the Emperor.

It's a pity that he led his troops to fight and retreat, and before he could run out of the field, suddenly countless figures appeared in front of him, and at the same time, bullets rained down, and the ghost soldiers who ran in front were caught off guard, and they fell to the ground before they had time to dodge.

When Akita saw this scene, he couldn't help but sink to the bottom of the sea.

He never dreamed that the New Fourth Army had also laid an ambush behind him, and he saw that the New Fourth Army that rushed out had at least one company, and the New Fourth Army running in front of him was holding a crooked handle or a Czech light machine gun in his hand, and swept towards his subordinates while rushing.

In the blink of an eye, there were less than thirty soldiers left around him.

At this moment, earth-shattering shouts of killing rang out around him, and some of them shouted in Japanese to surrender without killing their guns.

The soldiers who were following him, most of whom had already emptied their guns, found themselves surrounded, and looked at Akita and Yoshino with terrified eyes.

Akita's eyes rolled a few times, and then a hint of despair flashed in his eyes.

Around him, the New Fourth Army was already scattered, that is, he and his men were surrounded by the New Fourth Army.

Two fierce lights flashed in his eyes, he waved his command knife and looked around, and the soldiers who followed him immediately stood back to back with their bayonet rifles, ready to have a final decisive battle with the New Fourth Army that rushed up.

Yoshino also wielded his command knife at this time, looking for his final opponent.

It's a pity that these New Fourth Army people who surrounded them looked cold, especially the New Fourth Army, which was holding a Czech light machine gun in their hands, and they were even more unhurried to change their magazines.

With a gesture of the New Fourth Army, the New Fourth Army in the south quickly dispersed, and before Akita could figure out what was going on, several Czech light machine guns rang out crisply, and the bullets swept over in a fan shape, and the soldiers around him who were holding bayonets and preparing for white-knuckle combat fell down one after another with screams.

Akita and Yoshino didn't expect that the New Fourth Army had no bushido spirit, and they didn't dare to compete with the Imperial Japanese Army for bayonets, but unfortunately at this time, he regretted it too late.

The two brandished command knives and launched the final decisive charge with those devils who were not dead yet, but unfortunately when they rushed to ten meters away from the New Fourth Army, Akita felt that the **** had been hit hard, and then his eyes were black and fell.

Yoshino was better than Akita, and when he rushed to five meters away from the New Fourth Army, he was hit by a string of bullets, spit out dirty blood from his mouth, and slowly fell down with unwillingness.

Seeing that there was not a single devil standing on the entire battlefield, the New Fourth Army around it let out bursts of cheers, and then cleaned up the battlefield under the command of the cadres.

Xie Pingcai received a report from Qin Yonghe, saying that the devils who had gone out of the city for reinforcements had been completely annihilated in the Longwang Temple, and he was immediately overjoyed, and while reporting the good news to Liu Tianshu, he ordered the third and second battalions to immediately launch a general attack on the Tonggu stronghold and the Yuejiang stronghold.

When Matsui learned that Akita and others who had gone out of the city for reinforcements were all wiped out, and that the three strongholds outside the city had all been captured by the New Fourth Army, he immediately sat on a chair with his ass and looked ten years old.

You must know that he has only one brigade stationed in Ningyuan City, and his first squadron is scattered outside the city, and now with the destruction of the three strongholds, it should be over, and the two squadrons that went out of the city to reinforce have all been lost, so that in Ningyuan City now, he only has an infantry squadron and a machine gun squadron, as well as an artillery squad of the baggage team and so on.

In other words, more than half of his forces have been lost.

Although there are still several hundred puppet troops in the city, the combat effectiveness of these puppet troops is really not very good, and as for the puppet policemen in the police station and the plainclothes detectives of the gendarmerie team, they are still good at sabotaging and arresting anti-Japanese elements.

At this time, the puppet army defending the city had already discovered that there were activities of the New Fourth Army outside the city, and it seemed that the New Fourth Army would launch an attack on the county seat next.

Matsui had a sad face, and finally had to report the situation to the captain of the wing and ask for reinforcements.

At two o'clock in the morning, Liu Tianshu received Xie Pingcai's report and was relieved to learn that not only had the strongholds of the devils outside the city been completely uprooted, but also the two Japanese squadrons that had been sent out for reinforcements had also been wiped out.
