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.

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.
