As soon as the trumpet sounded, the fierce siege began.

Wang Xu and the others watched upstairs for a while, and sure enough, in terms of numbers, Li Yunlong's department had the absolute upper hand.

The east, west, south, north, and four gates, each of which besieged the strength of the army, was around 2,000 men.

In comparison, the thousand Japanese soldiers in the city were scattered, and there were less than 300 people at one city gate, and about 800 with the puppet army.

The fierce battle entered the white-hot at the beginning, and for a time the artillery fire flew up.

The defenders on the city wall did not have heavy artillery, but there were dozens of bomb canisters, which bombarded down condescendingly, which also meant a bit of bombardment.

Li Yunlong, on his side, also used captured bomb canisters and homemade earthen cannons to return fire. Listening to the movement, he was not weaker than the Japanese at all, but took advantage of the earthen artillery, and the momentum was greater than that of the Japanese.

"Look, even the militia of the county brigade and the district squad have also begun to fight." Old Uncle Zhong pointed to the front and led Wang Xu to look.

In sight, some ordinary people wrapped in white turbans, carrying shotguns and broadswords, also followed the regular army and charged.

Don't look at these people with poor equipment, when they start a war, they don't want to die.

Wang Xu saw clearly on it, an old man in his sixties, who had a hole swept by a machine gun, was still rushing forward while grabbing his intestines, and he was very savage at first glance...... No, it's heroic.

"It's all ruthless characters, people are fearless to this extent, who is not afraid when they see it!" Wang Xu only looked at it for a moment, then narrowed his eyes.

Such a deadly style of play is a personal concern, anyway, Wang Xu thinks it's quite scary.

The last time he traded antiques, Xiao Hei still felt that he was a black and ruthless person, and he wanted to eat black with him.

Compared with these militiamen, Xiao Hei is a ruthless person, gentle as a golden retriever, 100% green and pollution-free, just too white.

"Old Zhong, you said that when you fight to this extent, there shouldn't be a few people in the gendarmerie station, right?" Wang Xu retracted his gaze and no longer looked at the battle outside.

"There should be not much left, but there is, and they are also non-combatants of the intelligence department, and the guards are basically transferred to fight." Lao Zhong replied, and asked inexplicably, "Why are you asking this?" ”

"The woman who was arrested today seems to be Li Yunlong's wife, so you don't have any ideas?" Wang Xu used words a little, Lao Zhong and Wang Youfu, and their eyes suddenly lit up.

"Mr. Wang, you mean, we're going to save people?" Wang Youfu has high force and is eager to try.

Wang Xu shook his head slightly, pointed at Lao Zhong and the others, and said with a smile: "It's you who go to save people, do you dare to let me take risks?" ”

"No, don't dare..."Hearing this, Lao Zhong and Wang Youfu glanced at each other and shook their heads vigorously.

Let Wang Xu take the risk, they will not have this idea.

Because when he came out of Tianjin, Shopkeeper Qiu repeatedly talked about how important Wang Xu was.

This is a patriotic businessman with great powers, although he is only one person, his role is more important than a regiment, and Lao Zhong and the others are reluctant to take risks.

"Mr. Wang, you stay here, and the task of rescue is entrusted to us. With my king blessed, not to mention that there is no one in the gendarmerie station, even if there is a squad of devil soldiers, I am not afraid of them! Wang Youfu patted his chest and said confidently.

Strictly speaking, Wang Youfu is Wang Xu's bodyguard, and Lao Zhong is the leader, and his role is equivalent to leading the party.

Wang Xu had never seen Wang Youfu make a move, but he heard the shopkeeper Qiu say that this person is the one with the best skills and marksmanship in the Tianjin underground party.

Shopkeeper Qiu is a person who has seen the world, and his best will definitely not be discounted. Not to mention, compared with Yu Zecheng, Wang Youfu's marksmanship should not be bad, and his kung fu is even better.

"Boss Wang, if we all go, will you be safe?" Lao Zhong was also moved, and his only concern was Wang Xu's safety.

Wang Xu waved his hand, not thinking that he was worried about his safety, and said with a smile: "Now that the fighting is so fierce outside, who will come here to make trouble, besides, I have hands, feet, and guns, and ordinary people will only be afraid of me." ”

"This—" Old Zhong thought for a moment and felt that this made sense.

Wang Xu didn't go to the gendarmerie station to save people, and it was still dangerous to stay in the restaurant, that was fate.

In these years, wives and children may be stoned to death by collapsed houses, how can there be a really safe place, as long as they go and come back quickly, nothing will happen if they want to come.

"Then take care, I'll go back with Youfu." Lao Zhong is a person who does things, and after saying this, he pulled Wang Youfu and left.

Wang Xu didn't send it, just stood on the restaurant, looked at the back of their departure, and whispered: "Li Yunlong, that's all I can do for you, if you don't succeed, don't blame me, blame yourself for your life." ”

For the sake of safety, he will not participate in the rescue of people, and sending out the bodyguards to protect him is already the greatest help.

He rescued Yang Xiuqin out of respect for Li Yunlong and agreed with his behavior for the country and the people. But if Wang Xu gave up himself and desperately tried to save people, it would be impossible, after all, he was not so selfless.

"Shopkeeper, shopkeeper, hurry up!" Not long after the two bodyguards went out, there was a commotion downstairs.

A puppet lieutenant came with two soldiers, panting and shouting: "Within an hour, prepare food for five hundred people, and transport it to the city wall with me, there is no mistake." ”

"Oh, my grandfather, it's afternoon, and I can't make up the food for five hundred people!" The shopkeeper's face was miserable, and he had to stuff money when he went up.

This time, Dayang obviously lost face, the second lieutenant took out a pistol, put it on the chest of the shopkeeper, and said angrily: "Lao Tzu came here this time, he issued a military order, you told me that there was no food, believe it or not, I killed you?" ”

"But I..." The shopkeeper wanted to say something, but he still relented under the gun, and said to the guy with a sad face: "Go quickly with the money, the food stalls on the street, the small restaurants, what to buy and come back, hurry up." ”

The man didn't dare to mess with the soldiers, so he nodded again and again and ran out.

When the second lieutenant officer saw this scene, the expression on his face finally eased a little, and he sat down on the stool with a golden knife, and said: "Don't worry, it's not just your family who is unlucky today, a team of more than 3,000 people, counting the people who have been recruited, there are more than 5,000 people, and none of you who open restaurants in the city can be counted as one, and no one can escape." When this battle is over, how much you lose, how much the imperial army will reward, do you understand? ”

"Yes, yes." The shopkeeper is like a mourner, with the expression of a dead wife.

Regardless of whether the shopkeeper understood it or not, Wang Xu upstairs heard it clearly.

The second lieutenant officer said that he was unintentional, and he listened to the intention above, and quickly analyzed that the wartime on the city wall was very tight, otherwise the food of these puppet soldiers and gendarmes would not have been prepared by the restaurant.

The reason why this is the case shows that the battle above has reached the point where even the gang has to be recruited, which is undoubtedly good news.

"Even the men have to go into battle, and there are still a few guards left over the gendarme station. It seems that Lao Zhong and the two of them should be safe when they go to save people. Wang Xu turned the jade stone ball, and his tense face finally showed a little smile.
