"Gone. A few people were left to clean up the battlefield with us, and the others went back to watch the barracks" Throwing the sniper rifle on his back, the empty-handed Ye Kong jumped down with the snipers and submachine gunners on the roof, and the submachine gunners only left three or four people, and the rest retreated down the alley to the barracks not far away. Ye Kong was originally just standing on the roof with some snipers as a guard, but Takeshi Okamoto, who ran back from the city gate, suddenly burrowed into a small alley after encountering fire on the street corner. Ye Kong, who found them, had no choice but to use walkie-talkies to temporarily transfer most of the mercenaries guarding the barracks, occupying the roofs on both sides of these alleys outside the barracks, waiting for Takeshi Okamoto to throw himself into the net.

The submachine gunners gathered by Ye Air Conditioning were all in the room, no matter which alley Takeshi Okamoto chose to rush to the barracks to rescue in a panic, they were bound to step into Ye Kong's ambush, so Takeshi Okamoto's death was inevitable, and he was already doomed to such an end from the moment he chose to go into the alley. "Hey, hey, this is still a big boss, it's a young man" One of the snipers under Ye Kong took the southern pistol from Takeshi Okamoto with some excitement, held it in his hand and kept gesturing, leading several other snipers to surround him.

Ye Kong, who had a calm face, just smiled, pulled down the mask on his face, lit a cigarette, leaned on the mouth of the alley and smoked, Okamoto Takeshi with the rank of Shaozuo was killed by Ye Kong, he naturally knew that the leader of the Japanese puppet army in Zhangwu County died in his own hands. Zhao Zhi's salary to the mercenaries is not low, and after each mission is completed, the captured property has a lot of mercenaries' share, and these guys no longer search for valuable things on the corpses when they clean up the battlefield, but instead search for some strange objects, Ye Kong himself already has two pocket watches with gold shells and a southern pistol.

The dense gunfire that suddenly rang out on the side of the barracks just now only lasted for less than a minute, and Zhao Zhi, who had just arrived only a hundred meters away from the city gate, received a message from Ye Kong on a walkie-talkie that the Japanese commander in Zhangwu County had been killed by him, and he was killed in an alley only ten meters away from the county barracks. Before launching the attack on Zhangwu County, Zhao Zhi successively sent scouts to conduct reconnaissance, and the Japanese army that reoccupied Zhangwu County only stationed a squadron of Japanese troops and more than 100 Imperial Cooperative troops here.

According to what Ye Kong said, they killed more than 100 Japanese puppet troops in that small alley at one time, plus the Japanese puppet soldiers killed in the barracks in advance and the number of enemies reported by Chekov outside the city, then the Japanese puppet army remaining at the gate of the city is almost no more than a hundred. Now that the current situation is in his own hands, Zhao Zhi naturally doesn't want to add unnecessary casualties to resist the Japanese army, he wants to try it in a different way of attacking.

Not long after Takeshi Okamoto and the others left the city gate position, more intensive gunfire rang out from the barracks, and Takeda Kino, who remained at the city gate, also heard it. Unlike Takeshi Okamoto, who was born in a family of soldiers, Takeda Takeo is a halfway monk, he was only a history teacher in middle school before joining the army, only because he was familiar with a high-ranking official in the military department, so Takeda Takeo, who had been staying in the military department after joining the army, was soon appointed to the rank of captain, and it was because of his war-weariness in his bones that he was sent to serve as Takeshi Okamoto's adjutant and garrison this Shomu County, which is not a strategic point.

"The Japanese puppet army above the city gate, you listen, we are here to take back the Chinese army in Zhangwu County, your commander has been killed by us, I hope you will not be obsessed, immediately lay down your arms and surrender, otherwise we will adjust the artillery bombardment" Along with Zhao Zhi's persuasion to surrender in Japanese and Chinese, Chekov, who received the order outside the city, ordered a salvo of grenadiers, this time using authentic grenades for grenades, which were not comparable to Japanese grenades. The Japanese puppet army cowering at the city gate was already trembling, and as soon as the grenade that Chekov fired from outside the city landed, there was another ghost crying wolf.

"This is your commander's uniform and saber, you all keep your eyes open and take a good look to see if we are lying" At Zhao Zhi's signal, a mercenary kicked hard, and a cart slowly slid out from the corner of the street. There was a bloodstained command knife standing right on the cart, and behind the command knife stood a door panel with a bloodstained Japanese officer's jacket nailed to it. Takeda Kano didn't have to guess to know that it was Takeshi Okamoto's military uniform, because the collar of that uniform had the rank of Shaozo pinned to it, and Takeshi Okamoto was the only officer with the rank of Shaosa in the county.

"I give you 2 minutes to think clearly, don't make any more senseless sacrifices, your barracks have been taken by us, all the people brought by your commander have been killed, and there are only more than 100 of you left in the entire Zhangwu County, let's lay down our arms and surrender" Zhao Zhi squatted on the street corner, holding a loudspeaker made of large sheets of yellow paper in his hand and continued to shout in Japanese and Chinese. If you can persuade the Japanese puppet army on the city tower to surrender, it will naturally be a good thing, if they don't surrender, Zhao Zhi has other tricks to try.

Time passed minute by minute, there was still no response on the city tower, Zhao Zhi's people also stopped all actions, and the remnants of the Japanese puppet army were blocked by Zhao Zhi and Chekov outside the city gate. It's not that those Japanese puppet soldiers didn't hear Zhao Zhi's persuasion to surrender, but they all had no fighting spirit and they were all looking at Takeda Kinson, who was a little lost and depressed, and everyone was waiting for his instructions. Takeda is war-weary, but he is still a Japanese in the end, and if he wants to bow his head and surrender to the Chinese, he can't do it at all.

"The time has come, brothers of the Imperial Association Army on the city gate, we are all Chinese, why do you need to follow these little devils all the way to the dark, you think about it carefully, can you still have a way to live?" The last time Zhao Zhi entered Shanxi, an Eighth Route Army engineer from the Eighth Route Army shouted to the city gate in Chinese with a hippie smile. Persuading the enemy to surrender on the battlefield was the specialty of the Eighth Route Army, and in just a few words, it brought to life the thoughts of the emperor's cooperative army on the city gate.

"Brothers of the Imperial Allied Army, as long as you kill the officers of the little devils and control the city gate, we will not let you live in the past" The lonely voice of persuasion echoed at the city gate, and the two officers of the Imperial Allied Army with shell guns in their hands looked at each other, and they all raised the shell guns in their hands and shot at those Japanese soldiers, and the Imperial Allied Army led by them also followed the shooting at the Japanese army. The number of Japanese troops in the county town was originally more than that of the Imperial Allied Army, but when Takeshi Okamoto went to the rescue barracks, most of them were Japanese soldiers, so the number of Japanese troops on the city gate was about the same as that of the Imperial Allied Army.

The sudden backlash of the Imperial Allied Army caused the unsuspecting Japanese soldiers to be killed and wounded, especially the two Imperial Allied Army officers who were still carrying 10-round shell guns. A Japanese soldier who was shot in the chest suddenly rushed at the Imperial Allied soldiers who were shooting like a mad cow, and with a "boom" explosion, a bunch of people, including the Japanese soldier, had disappeared, and the torn corpse that had been blown up by the grenade had long been pushed by Qi Lang and flew away. "Boom" was another seriously wounded Japanese soldier who threw himself into the pile of the Imperial Allied Army with a grenade that opened the safety, and a large piece of flesh and blood was thrown high with the smoke of the explosion.

"It's done" Hearing the gunshots and explosions on the city gate, Zhao Zhi threw the paper horn in his hand and happily picked up the cigarette. "Inform Chekov outside the city that they can clear their positions and do nothing but wait to enter the city in a while. Leave two teams and me to stay here and wait to receive the city gate, and the rest of the people will spread out in the city, control the streets in the county, and don't let people take advantage of our loopholes, especially those who have money" Zhao Zhi's orders were issued one by one, and the mercenaries behind him also took orders with the formation of the team.

When Zhao Zhi gave orders to the mercenaries below, the Japanese puppet army on the city gate was still fighting desperately, and the sneak attack of the Imperial Alliance Army allowed them to take advantage, but as more and more wounded Japanese soldiers began to rush into the crowd of the Imperial Alliance Army with smoking grenades, the balance of victory has gradually tilted towards the Japanese army. The two officers of the Imperial Association Army who initially shot and attacked had already been killed, and the remaining 30 or so Imperial Alliance soldiers were fighting separately in twos and threes.

"Don't use a bayonet, shoot them directly, we don't have many people left" Takeda Kono, who had a big bayonet cut on his cheek, dissuaded the Japanese soldiers who were already a little red-eyed, and he himself was panting and didn't want to move a single step with the rifle in his hand. Takeda Kino is right, after a fight, there are only a dozen Japanese soldiers left alive on the city gate, and all of them are wounded.

"We want to go back alive, we want to go back alive to see our families, are you willing to die in this place?" Takeda Kino, who was a little relieved, raised his rifle and began to shoot at the watchtower, the wooden watchtower could not stop the bullets of the 38 rifle at all, and the Imperial Allied Army inside opened the door and wanted to rush out, but was shot down one by one by the Japanese soldiers standing in front of him. Takeda Kino is right, these surviving Japanese soldiers all want to live and return to their hometown, so they choose to shoot with Takeda Kino.

The gunfire stopped, and a dozen Japanese soldiers covered in blood supported each other down the stone steps from the city gate, and the one who walked in front was still a captain officer. "Your Excellency, I am the only officer currently in the squadron of Okamoto who was ordered to be stationed in Showu County, Takeda Kino, please accept our surrender" Takeda Kino, who had a long knife wound on his left cheek, handed his gun and hands to Zhao Zhi, and the Japanese soldiers behind him also bowed to Zhao Zhi in unison, and lowered their once unstoppable heads deeply.
