The desperate shooting of the soldiers caused a large consumption of ammunition, and after repelling the three charges of the Japanese soldiers, the ammunition of the soldiers had bottomed out, and in the face of a new round of charges launched by the Japanese soldiers, the company commander had to order the soldiers to mount their bayonets and prepare for white-knuckle combat.

The soldiers brandished their muskets and howled towards the position of the guard company. The fighters of all the guard companies clenched their rifles and were ready to drive the Japanese soldiers down with bayonets. Just when the white-knuckle battle between the two sides was about to break out, dense gunfire came from the city gate, and at the critical moment, Wei Lihui finally arrived with a large army.

More than 3,000 soldiers of the Defense Army, armed with Type 91 rifles, shot and charged at the same time, and the Japanese soldiers held out for only a few minutes in the face of dense firepower before retreating. Some of the defenders climbed the walls and began to advance along the walls in two other directions, to capture the other three gates. And the soldiers of a regiment, under the leadership of Wei Lihui, bit the long team of Songbian and chased and beat fiercely.

The sudden blow caught Song Parallel Commander off guard, seeing the opponent's superior forces appear in the city, Song Parallel Commander knew that the general trend of the road had gone, he didn't dare to stay in the city longer, let alone organize a counterattack, so he had to pass through the city and escape through the north gate.

The speed of the defense army's attack was very fast, and in the process of escaping from Songbianchang, the defenders who caught up from both flanks blocked it from the flank, and the Japanese soldiers who followed Songbianchang fell in the rain of bullets, and the Japanese soldiers who fled from the city with him at the last time, plus the defenders of the north gate who retreated with them, there were less than 300 people left in total.

The occupation of Hanjing City did not make Wei Lihui too happy, he knew very well in his heart that if the tens of thousands of Japanese soldiers on the front line knew that their logistics base was occupied, they would definitely immediately turn around and attack Hanjing. Therefore, as soon as he took control of the city, he ordered his soldiers to repair the city's head position, and prepared a large number of heavy objects at the four city gates, ready to block the city gates at any time.

Li Xi, the king of Hanping, was taken back to the palace again, and he thanked Wei Lihui and Qiao Fei for their kindness, and Wei Lihui also had kind words to appease. Walking out of the palace, Wei Lihui and Qiao Fei looked at each other and smiled: "This Li Xi is really a good material to be a puppet." ”

Qiao Fei nodded and said, "Yes, originally the young master planned to change someone if it was not easy to control." Wei Lihui said: "There can't be any luck, we must control the government of Hanping Kingdom, we should let Mr. Hua send more people, it is best to let us reorganize the Hanping army." Qiao Fei nodded: "We don't have to worry about this, I think the young master has already arranged it." ”

After receiving the news of the loss of Hanjing, Youpeng in Shanxian was full of bitterness, and now he is a little difficult to ride a tiger. More than ten days of offensive has caused the Japanese army to lose more than 20,000 people, and there is a shortage of ammunition and food, even if the Japanese army turns around and attacks Hanjing now, it will face many problems, not to mention the possibility of being attacked by the enemy, now all he can do is to hold on and wait for reinforcements, praying that the Japanese army troops that have landed in the port of Busan can be reinforced as soon as possible.

Compared with Youpeng in Shanxian County, Du Guangting on the opposite side is much more stable, he relies on the in-depth defensive position step by step, defending one by one, although he has lost three lines of defense these days, he has intercepted the opponent's attack at a very small cost, if it weren't for his own artillery, Du Guangting would have the idea of counterattacking. However, the situation has changed, and a large number of Chinese defense troops who have entered the Han Ping Kingdom by land have arrived in Liujing.

"Commander Lin, why are you here?" Seeing Lin Yangchun, the commander of the First Army, standing in front of him, Du Guangting was a little surprised. Lin Yangchun said with a smile: "Why haven't I seen such a life for a few days, it's all old brothers, just call your name." ”

Du Guangting immediately smiled and changed his title: "How is it possible, Lao Lin, why did you come here so quickly?" ”

Lin Yangchun said with a smile: "Coming by train, there is a relationship between the young master and Marshal Xiahou, and the Imperial Navy has allowed us to pass." This time it's not just me, this time except for Xue Boling's Sixth Division and Xiao Jun's artillery division, our defense army has come over. ”

Lin Yangchun smiled and asked, "How is the situation recently?" Du Guangting said: "It may be because the rear road was cut off, the Japanese soldiers cowered in the occupied defense line and did not come out, and I had no artillery and could not attack." Fortunately, the other party's supplies are running out, and I believe that if they don't come out for a few more days, they will only starve to death. ”

Lin Yangchun muttered: "We don't have a few days left, the 100,000 reinforcements of the Japanese soldiers are already not far from Hanjing, if we can't eliminate these enemies as soon as possible, it is very likely that they will escape, after all, there are only more than 3,000 of us in Hanjing." Du Guangting said: "Without artillery, if you insist on attacking, I am afraid that the casualties will be too great." Lin Yangchun said with a smile: "We already have artillery, and it is a cannon that specializes in bombing trenches." ”

"And this cannon?" Du Guangting followed Lin Yangchun to the new army in confusion. Lin Yangchun pointed to an iron pipe and said, "This is the first batch of products from the arsenal, called mortars. It was specially equipped with support firepower for the infantry, although only 200 doors were brought this time, which was enough to surprise the Japanese soldiers. ”

Du Guangting looked at this simple iron pipe with half a doubt, although he was a little puzzled, he was full of confidence in Fang Xiaoyu, because now the commanders and fighters in the army have a consensus, as long as the young master equips the troops with weapons, they must be easy to use. ”

Seeing Du Guangting circling around the mortar, Lin Yangchun said with a smile: "There is also a Type 90 heavy machine gun that is also the latest equipment, and it is ready to be assigned to the platoon level as fire support, don't be surprised when you see its power later." Du Guangting said: "Does the young master want to solve the Japanese country once and for all?" Lin Yangchun nodded and said, "It should be right, as long as we eliminate most of the elite military forces of the Wa Kingdom, we still don't want to deal with them?" ”

Lin Yangchun's arrival naturally took over the command from Du Guangting, and after a day's rest, the three newly arrived divisions replaced the exhausted Fourth Division defensive troops. The Japanese soldiers on the opposite side didn't know what to do, and their opponents had already been replaced.

At two o'clock in the morning, with Lin Yangchun's order, two hundred mortars began to attack, and those shells with curved trajectories directly hit several trenches occupied by the Japanese soldiers, causing heavy losses to the Japanese soldiers who were caught off guard. It was already very difficult for the Japanese soldiers to load their front-loading guns in the trenches, and they were even more panicked after a sudden attack.

Although the new gunners were relatively rusty and inaccurate, relying on the high rate of fire of the mortars, the Japanese soldiers still suffered a lot of losses. After ten minutes of shelling, the infantry, under the cover of heavy machine guns, began to charge. Fang Xiaoyu equipped the defense force with a water-cooled machine gun that had been improved, similar to the Vickers heavy machine gun, and the rate of fire of up to 600 rounds per minute made Du Guangting's eyes almost pop out on the sidelines.
