After the north gate was blown open by artillery, Zhang Dabiao commanded a battalion of soldiers to take advantage of the situation to attack the city.

After attacking the city, Zhang Dabiao immediately divided 1,000 troops to clear the devil soldiers defending the city at the head of the North Gate, and the remaining 1,000 under the personal command of Zhang Dabiao attacked all the way south along the North Gate Street, and attacked and advanced to the Bantian United Brigade Headquarters in the city.

The north gate was lost, and the news was quickly reported to the devil command in the city through the field phone.

At this time, the telephone in the Sakata United Team Headquarters in the city was constantly ringing, and the devil staff officers who came and went came and went.

"Report to the wing commander, the defenders of the north gate called, the north gate was blown open by the artillery of the independent regiment, and the north gate was lost! The enemy has stormed the city! ”

Sakata Shinjiro Masashi and the chief of staff of the wing, Kazuo Yahashi, judged whether Li Yunlong was really attacking from the north gate, but he didn't expect that the north gate would be lost so quickly?

"Nani??"

Sakata Shinjiro's face changed drastically, and the north gate was lost, isn't it that the independent regiment has already invaded the city?

"Order the defenders of the north gate, give me to defend, defend."

Shinjiro Sakata roared.

"Captain, it's gone! The enemy has already entered the city, and besides, we can't reach the troops at the north gate by phone! ”

The devil staff officer who reported immediately said.

"What ???"

Shinjiro Sakata's face finally changed drastically, which is troublesome.

"Captain, the north gate has been lost, the enemy army has entered the city, we don't have many troops, and the remaining three gates will definitely be attacked by the enemy troops in the city from behind to attack the city gate and the defenders of the city head from behind."

The chief of staff of the wing, Yahashi Kazuo, had a gloomy face and said, "I suggest that the defenders of the remaining three gates be transferred back to the city immediately." ”。

"Now there are only more than 100 reserve troops left in the wing headquarters, and they can't stop the attack of the independent regiment that entered the city from the north gate to the city headquarters!"

Shinjiro Sakata gritted his teeth, he didn't expect the offensive of the Independent Regiment to be so strong.

"Baga, the Imperial Association Army outside the city is all rubbish, and I really can't count on it!!"

Sakata Shinjiro gritted his teeth, the puppet army of 1,200 people outside the city couldn't stop it for half an hour, and now the north gate was lost, and the defenders of the other three gates would definitely be attacked from behind by the independent regiment that attacked from the north gate, which was troublesome.

"Good!!"

Sakata Shinjiro immediately ordered: "Order the remaining three defenders such as the West Gate to withdraw to the city and move closer to the wing headquarters." ”。

"Order the reserve of the wing to go forward and go north, and give me the blocking positions built all over the street!"

Kazuo Hachihashi stood up and said heavily: "Hai, co-captain." ”。

Immediately, Kazuo Hachihashi immediately turned around and walked to the side, picked up the field phone and ordered the reserve to move.

And Sakata Shinjiro greeted the wing communications staff officer Watanabe Jiichiro and said: "Directly send a report to Ito Daisa, the captain of the Ito Wing who has reinforced us, and ask Ito Daisa to lead reinforcements to Ping'an County as soon as possible." ”。

"In addition, can we now directly contact the commander of the aviation fighter sent by the upper command?"

Keichiro Watanabe immediately said, "Captain, it's okay!" ”。

"Then immediately contact the commander of the air force fighters who support us, and let him fly to the sky over Ping'an County as soon as possible to provide air support to the officers and men of our imperial army defending the city."

Sakata Shinjiro said with a solemn face.

"Yes, Wing Commander."

Kiichiro Watanabe paused, then turned around and returned to the communications room of the wing headquarters to ask his subordinates to send a quick telegram.

At this time, the sound of gunfire was getting closer and closer, coming from the direction of the north gate.

Sakata Shinjiro was horrified when he heard this, Li Yunlong's independent regiment was attacking so fiercely!

"Yaga, Bage Yalu!!"

Shinjiro Sakata could only grit his teeth and curse angrily.

However, Sakata Shinjiro's roar could not stop the fact that Zhang Dabiao had already attacked the city of Ping'an County from the north gate, at this time Zhang Dabiao had already commanded a battalion of 1,000 men and horses, and after leaving another 1,000 men and horses to be responsible for eliminating the remnants of the Japanese army at the head of the North Gate, he had already rushed south along the North Gate Street to attack and advance.

Due to the fact that the Japanese reserves in the city were already small, they did not encounter a large number of Japanese troops along the way.

At this time, Li Yunlong was overjoyed when he saw that Zhang Dabiao had led his troops into the city outside the north gate.

"Haha, Zhang Dabiao, this kid is still Lao Tzu's right-hand man! This kid played well!! ”

Seeing that the first battalion had broken through the north gate, Li Yunlong laughed and laughed.

Zhao Gang on the side also said with a smile: "I estimate that Sakata Shinjiro learned that the north gate was lost, and the other three gates dared to continue to defend, so wait for the battalion that attacked the city to divide the troops and outflank it!" ”。

"Yes!!"

Li Yunlong nodded, and in the sound of gunfire, a herald soon came to report, "Report to the regiment commander, the second battalion, the third battalion report, the Japanese troops at the west gate, east gate and south gate suddenly withdrew from the city, as if they were retreating to the city." ”

"Second battalion commander, what should I do if the third battalion commander asks for instructions?"

When Li Yunlong heard this, he waved his hand and said, "What else should I do?" ”。

"Of course, they broke into the city and told Wang Huaibao and Shen Quan that the north gate had been breached by a battalion, and they knew what to do!"

The herald replied, "Yes, Commander!!" ”。

Immediately, he ran away.

At this time, the commanders of the remaining three gates of the devil defenders who received the order of Shinjiro Sakata to withdraw to the castle did not know why, but when they knew that the north gate had been lost, they could only withdraw from the castle and move closer to the castle headquarters with all their might.

I have to say that the devil soldiers under the command of the Sakata United are still moving quickly.

The north gate was lost, and it no longer made sense for the rest of the west gate to wait for the three gates to continue to defend it.

Everyone thought that the independent regiment that broke through the city from the north gate would definitely divide their troops and attack behind the other three gates.

Outside the city, the second battalion of the independent regiment and other units attacked, and the independent regiment that broke through the north gate outflanked them in a roundabout way and did not retreat, wouldn't they be blocked at the head of the city and attacked inside?

Therefore, the devil defenders of the West Gate and the other three gates, who had been ordered by Shinjiro Sakata, immediately rushed down from the castle, and then retreated to the joint team headquarters in the city.

At this time, Zhang Dabiao commanded a battalion of 1,000 men and horses to go south along the main street of the North Gate, and defeated a small group of Japanese troops along the way.

Finally, on the street less than 400 meters away from the Sakata United Team Headquarters, he encountered a group of at least 90 devil soldiers blocking the road.

"Dada!!"

The devils built infantry fortifications in a narrow street with sacks, and on the roofs of the buildings on either side of the sack fortifications, several light machine guns crossed fire to cover the front.

Behind the sack fortifications, two Type 92 heavy machine guns were constantly being pulled by the devil machine gunner and firing fiercely.

Several fighters of the Separate Regiment, who did not have time to dodge, were hit by a furious rain of bullets and died on the spot.

"Made, hide !!"

Zhang Dabiao led his troops to rush to the forefront, and when he saw the devil heavy machine gun in the barricade fortifications, he immediately shouted.

It was just too late, and several fighters who rushed to the forefront were hit and killed.
