A huge explosion suddenly exploded at night, and the shells fell to the ground and exploded to bring out several feet of gunpowder fire, and the entire Yongji City suddenly became a sea of ​​fire.

Our mortar positions, which were attacked by fierce artillery fire by 23 Japanese Type 92 cannons, were not completely destroyed because the Japanese army only locked the overall position of the artillery position from the trajectory of our artillery fire.

However, when the mortars used by our army were at a disadvantage in the range and artillery strike power, they could not suppress the powerful artillery strike of the Japanese army. They could only launch artillery shells based on the targets of the defending officers and soldiers providing attacks on the Japanese army and adopt passive defense.

The Japanese artillery fire and tank bombing were very powerful, and finally a large gap of 2.5 meters wide was blown out of the East City Gate.

At this time, the captain of the Kuino corps of the 33rd Japanese Regiment, who took over the position of Colonel Haekashiba, who died in his position, took advantage of the fire of artillery to rush into the east gate of the Castle, and ordered the Shibuya Squadron of the 33rd Regiment to quickly occupy the east gate of the Castle through the east gate of the Castle, consolidate the position and cover the large force to rush into the city and advance in depth.

Chief of staff of the 33rd Regiment, Kondo Nagashi Shinakasa, took a step forward and reminded him: "Colonel Kuno, according to my observation, although a gap was blown out by my powerful artillery fire, the Chinese troops guarding the east gate of the city suddenly disappeared, and I doubt..."

"Kondo, the Chinese troops defending Yongji Castle should have been killed and killed by the powerful firepower of our Great Japanese Imperial Army. Even if there are still soldiers who survived by chance, they have become frightened birds. When will they not take an attack immediately? Order the Kuno United to launch the most fierce attack on Yongji Castle."

"Kuno, will you send a small army to launch a tentative attack on the east gate of Yongji City? Once the Chinese troops cheat, our attacking troops can also test the reality of the defenders of the east gate of the city at the lowest cost."

"Since Kondo Kan is so careful, then order Shibuya Squadron to launch an attack on the East Gate immediately."

The captain of Shibuya received the order and looked at the East City Gate, which was still in full force of artillery fire and the guards were fighting hard. At this time, it seemed that they were bombarded by powerful artillery fire and were completely destroyed. The East City Gate was silent. Not only did he pout and waved his command knife and ordered:

The Shibuya Squadron was ordered to line up in four columns, as the vanguard of the 33rd Regiment of the 71st Brigade, and strode through the gap in the East City Gate to recover Yongji City.

This arrogant and arrogant Shibuya squadron regarded himself as the winner, lined up in four columns and was about to pass through the East City Gate. Suddenly, six light machine gun muzzles were extended from the ruins of the bunkers that were bombed by artillery fire on both sides of the East City Gate.

The machine gunners, who were waiting for battle, saw that the Japanese were actually lined up in four columns, and were about to pass through the big gap that was blown up by the East City Gate. They stared at their bloodthirsty eyes angrily, and waited for the order of the second battalion commander Deng Xiangyun, and fired all their firepower to shoot the bullets into the quickly coming enemy group.

The second battalion commander Deng Xiangyun saw that the Japanese army had reached the best range of machine guns? Suddenly, he raised his right hand and slashed down hard and shouted: "Get hard to beat me."

Six light machine guns suddenly burst out with hot flames, and bullets shot at the enemy like locusts? The Shibuya Squadron, which was suddenly hit by fierce fire, was swept down by the machine gun bullets, and they were dead and stopped moving. The injured and alive Japanese danced their hands and feet on the ground, making shrill wails.

Shibuya Squadron, which was suddenly attacked by fire, found that the defenders of the east gate of the castle were silent? He believed that these Chinese defenders were either completely destroyed by powerful artillery fire? He or abandoned the east gate and fled into the castle.

As a result, Shibuya Squadron was careless and arranged in a four-way column to advance into the city. Under the sudden heavy firepower, the Japanese who were not prepared to attack the city gate were defeated in one blow and retreated quickly.

Captain Kuno's United did not expect that Shibuya Squadron was so vulnerable. He couldn't help but point at Shibuya Squadron Captain angrily questioned: "Captain Shibuya Squadron? Are you a commander with great combat experience? Why did he fail to siege so carelessly?"

He stared at the Shibuya Squadron Captain with his bulging fish eyes? He still sarcastically said, "Shibuya? You are very arrogant and treat the battlefield as a squadron? He actually lined up in four columns like being inspected and walked into the dangerous Yongji City? He was hunted by the cunning Chinese troops? What should he be guilty of heavy casualties?"

Shibuya felt ashamed of being scolded and ridiculed by the captain of Kuno's corps. Not only did he stand attentively and said in fear: "Colon Kuno? Shibuya was careless for a moment, causing irreparable major losses? I asked you to punish me."

Chief of Staff Kondo saw that Colonel Kuno grabbed Shibuya and was afraid of killing Shibuya in anger. He not only advised him: "Kuno Kan? The squadron leader of Shibuya made an unforgivable mistake of underestimating the enemy, causing casualties in the army? But through this bloody lesson, he also reconnaissed the firepower of the Chinese troops trapped in Yongji City."

"Kondo, Shibuya's mistakes are very serious. Because of his arrogant and underestimating the enemy, he lost dozens of the best warriors in the Japanese Empire. What should he be guilty of losing my best warriors?"

"Kuno, the enemy is in front of you. I hope you can let go of the mistakes made by Shibuya this time and instruct the Shibuya Squadron to prepare for another attack immediately."

"Shibuya, Chief of Staff Kondo comes forward to plead for you. I will not pursue the serious mistakes you have made for the time being. I will order you to return to the army immediately and be prepared to attack Yeongji Castle again. I hope you can make the merits worthy of your crime. Do you understand?"

"Thank you Colonel Kuno and Chief of Staff Kondo for giving me the opportunity to make meritorious service this time. As long as I lead the troops to attack Yongji again, if I fail, I will succeed."

The failure of the Japanese commander through this Shibuya Squadron's attack became a fact at this time.

That is, under the heavy firepower of the Great Japanese Imperial Army's aircraft, cannons, tanks, and although the city was destroyed, the defending officers and soldiers of the Chinese troops still used the destroyed ruins to block the attack of the Imperial Army with the most fierce firepower.

According to the orders of the Kuno corps commander, Chief of Staff Kondo readjusted the deployment of conquering Yongji City, and asked the brigade commander to order the 23 cannons of the artillery brigade to line up to aim at the important coordinates of the Chinese troops in Yongji City that were locked, and concentrate firepower to destroy key parts of the bombing city wall.

After a row of electric snails, a larger gap was created by a row of electric snails with a huge explosion.

In order for the infantry to successfully cross the unfilled trench outside the city, they launched an attack on Yongji City through the bombed large gap. The cunning Japanese army loaded the large truck with cotton bags and more than a dozen Japanese troops. The truck retreated and approached the trench and pushed the cotton bags into the trench to fill it.

The Japanese soldiers of Shibuya Squadron, who followed closely behind, howled with guns and launched the most fierce attack on Yongji Castle again.

Deng Xiangyun, the second battalion commander who guarded the east gate of the city, bombed the city in continuous artillery fire and found a large gap of six or seven meters wide in the city wall thirty meters west of the east gate. He immediately realized that Yongji City would face the most powerful attack from the Japanese army.

He immediately found Zhang Guangyi, president of the Yongji City Chamber of Commerce, and asked the masses to bring tools and cooperate with the Second Battalion to block the city wall that was smashed by enemy artillery fire, in order to prevent the Japanese army from using the gap to break through the firepower of the city and attack Yongji City on a large scale.

Zhang Guangyi did not make excuses to refuse because he knew that once Yongji City was occupied by the Japanese army, would there be a complete egg when it was destroyed? He immediately organized the people in the city to run out of the house with tools and rushed towards the east gate of the city covered by gunpowder.
