"Hurry up, the troops will retreat immediately and retreat into the county seat"..."Baga, your horses, throw down those heavy weapons, there are weapons in the county seat, retreat immediately..."Looking at the Eighth Route Army that was getting closer and closer, he felt the bullets flying around him. Officers at all levels in the artillery positions and heavy machine gun positions of the army could no longer care about the heavy weapons on the ground. In front of the soldiers beside him, he gave the order to abandon his weapons. With his own subordinates, he joined the retreat..."Okay, the little devil doesn't even need the most basic heavy machine gun, now, I see what weapon he plans to use to block our attack." The guards immediately gave the two squadrons in the city a number, and as soon as the army entered the city, they immediately launched an attack. Let's attack inside and outside, and compress all the remaining little devils onto the city wall...."Seeing the dense rain of bullets, the little devils who fled one after another, Wang Hong, who followed the charge of the troops, commanded loudly while excited....

"Bang bang" two different gunshots rang out on the battlefield. The communicator, who was closely behind Wang Hong, immediately pulled the trigger of the signal gun in his hand. Suddenly, under the gaze of everyone, two dazzling white lights exploded in the sky....

"The first squadron is responsible for clearing out the little devils entering the city. The second squadron immediately launched a counter-charge, resolutely blocked the passage of the little devils into the city, forced them all up the city wall, and now began to act..."Seeing the two white lights in the sky, the two squadron leaders, who had long been hidden in the county town and were itching, gave the latest combat orders to their respective squadrons at the first time..."Bang bang bang... Da Da Da Da...", immediately, in the county seat. A squadron of the Yue Army, which had just entered the county seat and started a search, was resolutely counterattacked by more than 200 special combat personnel of the first squadron... In the sound of gunshots like beans, a little devil didn't have time to react, and in his stunned eyes, he fell under the guns of the special operations elites... Under the blow of more than 200 street fighting elites of the 1st Squadron, more than 180 little devils were all wiped out in less than ten minutes... The second squadron that followed immediately relied on the original fortifications in the county town to block all the passages leading from the city gate to the city tightly, waiting for the arrival of the main force of the little devils..."Hurry up, enter the city immediately, occupy the county seat, and hold on to the spot...."Wing Commander Matsuda Osa, under the protection of the guard troops, finally rushed into the city gate out of breath and dodged the bullets flying around him. Looking at the Eighth Route Army, which was getting closer and closer to the troops behind him, he didn't have time to take any rest, so he roared anxiously at the soldiers at the city gate... Looking at the soldiers outside the city, they quickly rushed into the city gate, and the huge city gate was slowly closed. As for the troops of the Eighth Route Army that followed closely behind, they also stopped the pursuit under the machine-gun interception and strafing of the defenders of the city wall. Matsumoto Daisa's tense face finally slowly relaxed, and with the support of the guards, he sat limp in the castle gate cave... However, at this moment, God seems to be playing tricks on him. Just when a little smile appeared on his face, ready to give a new order to the troops. A chaotic burst of gunfire came from the empty city... For a moment, Matsuda Daisa's brows furrowed again, and he looked at the chief of staff next to him, who was also out of breath, with a puzzled expression....

Seeing the questioning expression on the Wing Captain's face, the Chief of Staff, who was panting heavily, also frowned, and said helplessly: "Wing Captain, I don't know what happened in the city. I'm going to send someone over to reconnoitre, and ask the wing commander to immediately rely on the city wall and arrange fortifications, so as to prevent the Eighth Route Army from attacking me inside and outside..."

As he spoke, several soldiers, under the command of the chief of staff, formed a battle formation and quickly rushed in the direction where the gunfire came... In Matsuda's anxious waiting, ten minutes passed quickly. At the same time, the sporadic gunfire in the city slowly stopped. Just when Matsuda Osa couldn't hold back the calmness in his heart and began to pace back and forth at the city gate, the voice of the chief of staff rang in Matsuda Osa's ears..."Wing Commander, Wing Commander, the reconnaissance unit is back..."

"Report to the Wing Commander, Chief of Staff, the situation has been reconnoitred. Ten minutes ago, a large number of Chinese armed forces suddenly appeared in the county town, launching a counterattack against a search squadron of our army from all directions. This Chinese armed force is equipped with a large number of shell guns, and its combat effectiveness is very strong. After only ten minutes of street fighting, more than 100 Imperial soldiers of the entire search squadron were wiped out. At present, these Zhina people are rushing towards the city gate, please make a decision as soon as possible..."Jun Cao replied breathlessly..."Eight Ge Yalu, cunning Zhina, we have been fooled, we have been ambushed by Zhina....Chief of Staff, now that we have been attacked by the enemy, what should we do next, should we stand at the gate of the city, waiting for the cunning Zhina, to annihilate us all?" After a short period of shock, Matsuda Daisa, who really had no choice, could only put his eyes on the chief of staff and asked eagerly.

"Walls, Captain. At present, our army still has more than 1,000 combat troops left, and the weapons and ammunition are also very sufficient. With strong walls, we could quite well hold out until the arrival of the main forces of the division ... Wing Captain, I think that we should immediately climb the city wall, rely on the city wall, and wait for reinforcements..."Facing the Wing Captain's questioning, he suddenly saw the ten-meter-high masonry city wall beside him. The chief of staff's eyes lit up, and he quickly replied..."Yo Xi, order the troops, immediately climb the city wall, arrange defensive positions, in a word, the troops must hold on until the arrival of the main force of the division ... Chief of Staff, you immediately arrange for the troops to prepare for defense..."Matsuda Osa immediately ordered... Suddenly, more than a thousand devil soldiers gathered at the corner of the city wall, under the command of the chief of staff, rushed to the city wall. Begin to build concrete fortifications with everything you see as a squad... A few minutes later, when the two units of the advance detachment rushed to the corner of the city wall, the last remaining 1,500 people of the Matsuda Wing had been compressed to only a few meters wide. What's more, the bare, without any concealment on the city wall..."Report to the captain, the little devil has all been compressed to the city wall. Look, are we starting to open fire, using the cannonballs of the little devils, to destroy the little devils..."Looking at the more than a thousand little devils who have been completely surrounded. Looking at the corners of the city walls, the little devils hurriedly retreated, and there were dozens of mortars and heavy machine guns that they didn't have time to take away. Wang Hong asked with a smile on his face, "Now that you are the commander here, how to fight is your business." However, I would like to remind you that do not forget the commander's orders, and take it easy when fighting. Let's go a long time, don't give the surname once to wipe out the little devils, and scare their main forces away...."Liu Xiaogang nodded and ordered..."Captain, you can rest assured....Comrades, give me a leisurely point, three shots of continuous fire per cannon, the target, the little devil on the city wall, fire now." Let's say hello to the little devils on the city wall first, and greet them..."Facing the dozens of mortar members behind him, Wang Hong said with a smile on his face... Immediately, a dull sound of artillery discharges began to sound in the artillery positions behind him. Dozens of shells, with a sharp whistling sound, flew accurately towards the city, making one explosion after another..."Ah, Baga, how can the Eighth Route Army have mortars... Artillery, what about our artillery, immediately counterattack and destroy the enemy's artillery fire ..."Matsuda Daisa, who dodged the first round of artillery fire under the protection of the guards. Looking at the city wall, after the explosion of a dozen shells, it was bloody, and there were scenes of stumps and broken arms of soldiers and light and seriously wounded everywhere. Holding back the consciousness of wanting to vomit in his heart, he roared loudly at the chief of staff beside him..."Report... Report to the Wing Commander... When our mortars retreated, all of them were left outside the city......."In the face of the Wing Commander's questioning, the Chief of Staff replied in a low voice..."Nani, all of them are still outside the city. Eight Grid Yalu, do you mean to say that the Eighth Route Army outside the city is using the mortars that our army has abandoned..."Matsuda Daisa stared at a pair of big eyes and asked in disbelief..."Hayi, Wing Commander. Because the troops retreated too hastily, and the pursuit speed of the Eighth Route Army outside the city was too fast. Artillery units, heavy machine-gun units, for a successful retreat into the county seat, simply did not have time to disassemble these heavy equipment. In the end, he voluntarily gave up all heavy weapons outside the city. "The chief of staff said....

"Bastards, they don't even want weapons, what are they going to do when they come back, it's a shame for the emperor, they should all apologize to His Majesty the Emperor. Eight Tooth Road... The chief of staff is now my Matsuda Wing, there are no heavy machine guns and mortars, and how many weapons are left. How long can the troops hold out on the city walls? After a brief period of anger, Matsuda quickly asked the one thing he wanted to know the most....

"Wing Commander, all the heavy weapons that our army has at the moment are only a small number of grenadiers... However, the lowly guarantee relied on the strong fortifications of the city walls, coupled with the ample ammunition of our army. As long as the enemy does not have heavy siege artillery, we will hold out for two days, and there will be absolutely no problems..."The chief of staff thought for a moment and said with an affirmative face... And at this moment, everyone could feel that Captain Matsuda in front of him was obviously relieved after hearing the answer that the troops could hold out for two days. His face also changed from a worried look just now, and instantly became resolute..."Yo Xi, two days is enough. Tell all the soldiers that as long as we can hold out here for two days, the main force led by the division commander will surround the entire county town. When the time comes, our army will be attacked inside and outside, and the surrounding Eighth Route Army will definitely be wiped out... Chief of Staff, now I appoint you as the supreme commander of the unit, responsible for directing all matters related to the next battle of the troops..."Matsuda Daisa commanded resolutely, and a rare smile appeared on his face..."Hey, please rest assured, the Wing Commander will definitely complete the task, hold the city wall, and hold on until the arrival of reinforcements..."The Chief of Staff said with a wry smile. After all, the two days just said are obvious exaggerations. However, seeing the trusting eyes of the wing captain, there was still no hesitation, and he assured loudly....

Seeing that the wing commander nodded in satisfaction, the chief of staff immediately began to exercise his authority as commander-in-chief... In the rain of shells and flying fragments, the troops began to disperse and dodge the fierce artillery fire around them....Finally, under the prayers of countless soldiers, the three rounds of artillery bombardment, symbolizing greetings, finally ended.

"The troops immediately went into positions and were ready for battle. Hurry, no matter what, be sure to block the attack of the Eighth Route Army and wait for reinforcements to arrive. Otherwise, it's all dead, it's all dead...", with the end of the shelling. The chief of staff didn't care about cleaning up the blood, the walls of the soldiers with stumps and broken arms everywhere, and loudly gave the order to enter the position to the troops behind him... However, when hundreds of devil soldiers, they endured the fear and vomiting in their hearts. Lying on the city wall, waiting for the time for the Eighth Route Army to attack inside and outside the city wall. In the open space inside and outside the city walls, there was no movement, not even the shadow of the enemy's attack... As far as the eye can see, a few hundred meters away, that is, outside the range of the machine guns on the city wall, nearly a thousand soldiers of the Eighth Route Army are sitting next to piles of bonfires, talking and laughing, eating a sumptuous lunch, without any intention of attacking at all..."Baga, the Eighth Route Army is very cunning, I want to kill you all....woo woo..."Looking at the scene outside the city, seeing the miserable scene of the imperial soldiers on the city wall, the chief of staff couldn't help but curse. However, as soon as he finished speaking, a whistling sound of shells reached his ears....As far as the eye could see, the artillery position a kilometer away was completely shrouded in white smoke from the shelling..."Bastard, how is it shelling again... Hurry, the troops will disperse immediately, hurry up, the troops will disperse, prepare for artillery bombardment....boom, boom..."Before the sentence was finished, a dense explosion reached his ears. At the same time as the explosion, the screams of a large number of soldiers were heard in his ears... In this way, for a whole day, the first brigade inside and outside the city walls did not launch any infantry attack. And the intensive shelling went through a dozen rounds ....

As the sky slowly darkened, on a bloody city wall, a little devil who had suffered for a long time finally breathed a sigh of relief. Began to be under the command of the chief of staff, a tired cleaning of the stumps and broken arms on the city walls, as well as all kinds of light and serious wounded ... An hour later, while the soldiers were replenishing dry food, the chief of staff, who had received the report of the casualties of the troops, came to Wing Captain Matsuda with a depressed face..."Chief of staff, is there something wrong?" The expression was so frustrated. Although, in today's one-day battle, we lost hundreds of elite Imperial soldiers. However, we held our ground. At this rate of loss, as long as we can hold on for a day and a night, we will be able to successfully complete the task..."Seeing the expression of the chief of staff, Matsuda Osa asked in confusion..."Wing Commander, at this moment, the scene we are facing now reminds me of an ancient Chinese allusion, that is, 'For the sword, I am for the fish'. And now we, the invincible Imperial Army of the Imperial Army, have become a piece of fat on the chopping block of the Eighth Route Army, and they can eat whatever they want, which is really unthinkable...."After a short silence, the chief of staff continued.

"Wing Commander, in today's one-day battle, the Eighth Route Army did not launch any substantive attack, and just by relying on artillery bombardment, it caused hundreds of casualties to our army. And we, on the other hand, have no chance to fight back. I am now very worried about the battle that our army will face tomorrow. Your Excellency the Wing Commander could send a letter to the division commander, urging the main forces of the division to speed up the march. I'm worried that as long as the Eighth Route Army outside the city launches a real attack, we won't be able to hold out for that long..." The chief of staff, who had a fuller understanding of the current battle situation, said with a dejected face..."What, how can this be... Okay, Chief of Staff, don't worry, I will immediately send a telegram to the division commander, asking the main forces of the division to speed up the march. But, Chief of Staff, I hope you can lead the rest of the troops, hold out until the last minute, and wait for the arrival of reinforcements..."After hearing the Chief of Staff's answer, Matsuda's face could no longer see the confidence he had just now, and he hurriedly said....

Compared with the desolation of the army, the positions of the Eighth Route Army inside and outside the city wall were unusually relaxed. Because, today's one-day battle can be said to be the easiest day for these special forces... Because, everyone just needs to fiddle with the mortar in front of the enemy, and the rest is to rest ... In the temporary headquarters outside the city, Deputy Captain Wang Hong also had a smile on his face: "Captain, I took a look just now, and the cannonballs left for us by the little devil are very sufficient. Another day and absolutely no problems... I believe that if we continue to fight like this, when the time comes, we will not need to charge, and the little devils on the city wall will be lost..."

"It's your business. However, before tomorrow night, we must settle the fighting. According to the information that the commander has just sent. The little devil is less than fifty kilometers away from us. If nothing else, tomorrow night, the army will complete the encirclement of us. So, tomorrow night, we have to find a way to break through..."Regarding the results of the day, Liu Xiaogang nodded with satisfaction and said..."Captain, you can rest assured, I promise to complete the task tomorrow." Tomorrow, I'll let the little devils taste the secret weapon I carefully prepared for them..."Wang Hong said confidently. There was a hint of a smirk on his face....
