"Boom ......"

A mountain-shaking explosion sounded in the city gate, indicating that the impregnable Linfen City had been opened by the Eighth Route Army.

The armored vehicle rushed into the city gate through the thick smoke of gunpowder, preparing to enter Linfen City in one go.

"Da Da Da ......"

As soon as it moved, a string of bullets flew from inside the city, and a soldier of the guard company was caught off guard and fell into the hole in the city gate.

"The devils in the city are prepared, the armored company is attacking head-on, and the guard company will follow up and kill in!" Zhou Ze, who was in the combat armored car, decisively took over the command of the commando team and ordered loudly.

"Armored car, shoot, take out the little devils who stand in our way!"

"The guards company covers, protects the armored car, and must not let the little devils get close to the armored car......"

Zhou Ze's command car took the lead, led five or six soldiers of the guard company, drilled into the city gate, and then attacked the city.

As soon as they rushed out of the city gate, a line of defense temporarily piled up with sandbags appeared in front of everyone.

"Continue the assault and kill them......," Zhou Zechang ordered with a sigh of relief.

As long as the devil did not set up artillery in front, Zhou Ze did not worry about his safety.

What Zhou Ze didn't expect was that the armored car was just about to kill it, and the devil in front of him actually moved first.

Dozens of little devils, holding explosive bags, pounced on themselves from all directions.

"They want to blow up our armored vehicles, and the little devils are fighting the trapped beasts at this time...... All the machine guns are fired, take them out......"

"Guards company fires, protects armored vehicles ......"

The four machine guns of the armored vehicle itself, together with the submachine guns and light machine guns equipped by the guard company, instantly intertwined an impermeable bullet network around the armored vehicle.

Dozens of devil daredevils fell to the ground in less than a minute.

At this time, two more armored vehicles rushed out of the city gate.

The three armored vehicles cooperated with each other, and with the guard company, they killed the devil's temporary defense line.

Major General Kawaguchi, the commander of the Japanese brigade headquarters in Xiangfen County, stood in front of the map for almost half an hour, without saying a word, or even moving. The sound of gunfire from outside the city, although very dense, had little effect on Major General Kawaguchi.

"Boom ......"

Suddenly, a series of more violent explosions were heard, and the ground beneath their feet began to tremble slightly because the explosion point was so close to the command headquarters.

The chief of staff on the side finally couldn't help but shout: "It's an artillery position, it must be that the shells stacked in the artillery position have been detonated by the artillery shells of the Eighth Route Army outside the city...... The artillery is finished, relying only on the infantry, it is definitely not the opponent of the Eighth Route Army...... Brigade commander, you can't wait any longer, what to do next, you have to decide early! ”

"It's over indeed!" Major General Kawaguchi finally spoke, looking desperate.

"Linfen City has been attacked, we have been attacked again, the Eighth Route Army wants to put an end to the snobbery of all the imperial troops in Linfen!"

As soon as he finished speaking, a communications staff officer rushed in, holding nothing in his hand, but his face was very unsightly.

Major General Kawaguchi seemed to anticipate something, stared at him and asked, "Is there something wrong with Linfen City!" ”

"Hey!" The communications staff officer replied with his head bowed, not daring to look into the eyes of Major General Kawaguchi.

"Just now, our radio contact with Linfen City was suddenly cut off. No matter how we called, the other party did not respond, and several radio stations in Linfen City called, and there was no movement! ”

The expression of despair on Major General Kawaguchi's face did not fluctuate at all, and he waved his hand and ordered, "No need to call...... Linfen City is too big, and the defenders are small, so it is beyond my expectation that it can be defended so far. I'm sure that Linfen City has been broken through by the Eighth Route Army! ”

After the communications staff officer left, the chief of staff was in a hurry.

"General, Linfen City is occupied by the Eighth Route Army, so what should we do?"

A smile full of self-deprecation quickly flashed on Major General Kawaguchi's desperate face, and then he replied: "Do you think we have any other way out than to defend to the death, Chief of Staff?" ”

"I understand what you mean, you want me to break through Simon, who has never been attacked. However, have you thought about what we will do if we leave the county and are attacked by the Eighth Route Army? When the time comes, there will not even be the capital to defend it! ”

"There are also walls here to protect us, and outside the city, we don't even have the most basic trenches for a day!"

"Order all the defender troops to defend to the end, no one can take a step back without my order!"

"Also, distribute weapons and ammunition to everyone in the brigade command, and at the critical moment, we will also go to the battlefield!"

"In this battle, we lost Linfen City, and also lost all the combat supplies of the two field divisions on the front line for nearly half a year. Coupled with the loss of thousands of Imperial troops, even if we exit the battlefield alive, we will be court-martialed by the front. Rather than this, it is better to die here! ”

"The Eighth Route Army is too cunning and very good at hiding its strength. I now finally understand why the good situation deteriorated to such a point in a matter of days, and even we had to lose our lives for it. All of this is caused by the fact that we are too underestimated to understand our opponents! ”

The former enemy headquarters outside Xiangfen City, the explosion from inside the city also reached the ears of Commander Chen and the staff officers.

"Chief of Staff, the little devil artillery in the city was killed by us, and then it will be the turn of the devil infantry on the city wall. Tonight, no matter what, we must kill the commander of the little devil brigade and avenge the ordinary people who were killed by the devil's plane! Commander Chen ordered with excitement on his face.

"Yes, this brigade commander must be killed and give an explanation to the people in the base area!" The chief of staff affirmed.

Then he added: "With a total of twelve mountain guns, four infantry guns, and twenty or thirty mortars, our Eighth Route Army has never had a precedent of concentrating so many artillery pieces in a battle, and the ammunition is sufficient, and the shells are vigorous!" ”

"Okay...... I'm going to give the order. Commander Chen was pleased to answer.

"All the time we have been fighting with the devils, our Eighth Route Army has been bombed, and the devils have pressed us to fight. Tonight, we're giving the little devils a taste of being fried! ”

"Order, the mountain artillery unit was divided into three in a company, shelling the south gate, the north gate, and the east gate, and four infantry guns shelling the west gate. Mortars divided into four to participate in the battle. Ten minutes of artillery preparation, after the artillery bombardment, the troops launched an attack with all their might, and each battalion and regiment did not divide the main attack and assist, whoever entered Xiangfen County first to attack the main attack was whoever killed! ”

"After the offensive begins, mortar and heavy machine gun units will attack with the team, providing artillery support to the infantry at any time!"

Soon, the four gates of Linfen City were covered by the intense recreation of the explosion.

There were constantly Japanese puppet troops who were blown out of the city wall and smashed to the ground in explosions.
