For this surprise attack, the base area's enemy work department used the deepest hidden inside line and several underground personnel to hold the captain of the Imperial Army.x.

This is crucial to the success of the attack. In the end, the Eighth Route Army's weakness is the weakness of the Eighth Route Army. It can open the city gate not only reduce a large number of casualties, but also temporarily put the enemy in the city in chaos and prevent the enemy's possible counterattack from working.

The continuous explosion echoed over the county town, and the strong white light illuminated the dark clouds in the sky. The huge waves of air swept across the streets and alleys, the dust in the houses burst, the doors and windows shaking, and the earth was shaking.

The Japanese command post was already in a mess. The sudden attack caught the Japanese commander Kato off guard. When the phone rang and the reports were connected to various places, I couldn't help but feel a little busy.

"When did the Eighth Route Army have the strength to attack the county?" The garrison commander Kato stood beside the telephone, his hand trembled, and the microphone slid on the table, turning his head like the spy captain Matsumoto, or muttering to himself.

"Impossible. Although they have strong combat power and extremely cunning in the Chinese army, they have no ability to attack the city, and will never make risky attempts." Matsumoto first denied it flatly, and then said thoughtfully: "Unless..."

"Unless what?" Kato asked with wide eyes, an ominous premonition emerged in his heart.

"Unless they have a way to gain control of the city gate." Matsumoto said this and felt extremely frightened. He stood up and strode out of the house. After hearing the sound of gunfire everywhere, his face changed drastically and he hurried back.

"How is it? What judgment did you make?" Kato asked quickly when he saw Matsumoto's face was anxious.

"Judged from the gunshots, the South Gate should have been lost, and the enemy is approaching step by step from that direction." Matsumoto said anxiously: "The Imperial Army is responsible for the guards. The Chinese people are unreliable, so they betrayed us. Please order immediately to let the Imperial Army in the city counterattack, and also contact the outer strongholds and ask them to reinforce immediately."

Ah? Kato was stunned for a moment, and immediately started to issue orders. However, at this time, many troops from many places could no longer contact him.

Under the guidance of local guerrillas and underground personnel, the main attack regiment climbed over the wall, crossed the alley, opened fire everywhere, causing great chaos to the enemy.

Moreover, they play their advantages, are maneuverable and flexible, and are like fish, and let go of their hands and feet to deal with the enemy.

The walls spit out flames, the streets and alleys shine with the light of explosions, and the yards are echoing the shouts of fighting.

The assault team was responsible for harassment, while other troops of the main attack regiment were steadily advancing forward. The battle between one street and one alley gradually compressed the enemy's space.

The enemy's deployment is based on the city wall defense. There are no strong bunkers in the city, and the fortifications built with sandbags at the main street entrance play a limited role.

Therefore, once the fortress is broken, the sudden change makes the enemy's mind unable to turn, and the temporary deployment cannot keep up with it for a while, and all the layout is in chaos.

Matsumoto and Kato made another mistake in panic, similar to the reaction of the Soviet Union after a sudden attack by Germany.

At the beginning of the war, the Soviet command made a erroneous estimate.

It was proposed at that time that the country's borders should rely on field fortifications to defend stubbornly, and the enemy should not be allowed to invade Russian territory, and to ensure mobilization time, and then use powerful counterattacks to repel the enemy's attacks and transfer the war to the enemy's territory.

Such combat orders do not consider strategic defense operations at all, and rule out the possibility of a large number of enemies breaking through to the hinterland.

Ming Dalin even regarded deep defense as retreat, and constantly ordered counterattacks to the frontline troops, counterattacks, and counterattacks.

This led to the corps fighting one after another, and gave the enemy the opportunity to defeat the corps one by one.

Matsumoto and Kato did not predict the nature of the sudden strike of the Eighth Route Army, nor did they expect that the Eighth Route Army could quietly concentrate such a large force and engage in battle with powerful and dense clusters.

They were just anxious to drive out the Eighth Route Army that rushed into the city, but they did not expect that the Japanese troops who received the order would not focus their full strength, but would invest in batches.

What's more, the Eighth Route Army used small teams to intersperse the city, which also restrained a lot of enemy forces. They abandoned the gate and did not receive orders, and remained still and faced the danger of being attacked from both sides.

The county town trembled in the artillery fire, was baptized by blood and fire, and witnessed the demise of the invaders.

About a small team of "Imperial Army" soldiers, under the command of the captain's distorted face and roaring loudly, fought back fiercely at the Eighth Route Army. They howled wildly with slogans such as "Long Live His Majesty the Emperor", and even ignored the fierce shooting of the machine guns!

Relying on the advantage of numbers, the Eighth Route Army soldiers stubbornly blocked the enemy's counterattack with machine guns, rifles, short guns, and grenades.

The front of the street corner has become a death zone, with the corpses of enemies and us sleeping with each other, the ground is covered with broken weapons, spots of blood, surrounded by sharp shouts, suppressed moans, and the tragic battle is pushed towards ** step by step.

Another team of Imperial Army came to assist in the war under the command of several Japanese officers. While ordering to concentrate firepower to suppress our army, they drove the Imperial Army to rush forward, trying to break through the right side, suppress the left side, and prompt the disintegration of our army's defense.

The gunfire was loud, and a platoon of Eighth Route Army rushed to reinforce and attacked quickly. After a burst of shooting, they took advantage of the momentum to pounce on the Imperial Army, causing chaos in the imperial army and forcing them to start a hand-to-hand combat.

The Imperial Army, who had weak fighting will, was caught off guard, was in an uproar, and retreated repeatedly in exclamation.

"Brothers, I am Captain Liang." The squadron leader of the Imperial Army shouted behind the formation: "The Chinese do not beat the Chinese. I order everyone to kill a Japanese and reward twenty dollars for them. Don't work hard for the Japanese."

"Thousands of Eighth Route Army have entered the city, brothers, don't resist." Another prisoner of the Imperial Army continued to shout.

……………………

Gradually, the driven Imperial Army gradually became disobedient. They either lay on the ground pretending to be dead, or stared at the "Imperial Army" soldiers beside them with malicious intentions. Some of them were brave enough to turn around and fight with the "Imperial Army" soldiers.

Seeing that the enemy's formation was in chaos, the Eighth Route Army blew the charge again, and the attacking troops once again rushed towards the enemy's formation.

The Japanese commander waved his sword and stabilized the team with hoarse shouts and curses.

Suddenly, dense firepower shot from behind, and several soldiers fell to the ground, and he was almost hit.

Looking back, there were more than a dozen figures flashing at the entrance of the alley behind the side. They shot at this place and made contact gestures based on the house.

It seems that another Eighth Route Army came to reinforce. Obviously, the Eighth Route Army launched an encirclement operation and they fell into the encirclement.

In fact, he was wrong. This was not a reinforcement force, but an assault team heard the gunshots and rushed to join in the fun and stabbed the Japanese in the back.

The assault team's attacks made the enemy suspicious, forcing the already shaken Japanese officers to make a decisive decision and lead the remaining troops to retreat, intending to wait for reinforcements to launch a counterattack.

Taking advantage of the enemy's retreat, the Eighth Route Army intercepted and killed him for a while, and abandoned the next batch of enemies' bodies in the intersection area.

The enemy's counterattack three times in the past, the troops coming from afar were already tired, and immediately seized the time to quickly deal with the aftermath, wrapped the wounds and collected the body, rectified the organization, deployed defense, and prepared to continue to attack in depth.

At this time of the war, the Eighth Route Army had increasingly obvious advantages, not only in terms of numbers, but also in terms of organization and firepower.

Inspired by the shouts of Captain Liang and his subordinates, the Imperial Army had already been demoralized and the soldiers had no fighting spirit.

The Japanese army was trapped in street fighting and no longer had the majesty of field battles. The Eighth Route Army had firmly occupied a large area of ​​urban areas, and the balance of victory had tilted towards the Eighth Route Army.

Commander Zheng discussed with several staff members, preparing to overcome fatigue and take a more fierce offensive, organize several intellect armed forces to attack the enemy's weak parts, and lay a solid victory in one fell swoop.

So the feint attack troops decreased, and a sharp knife that was familiar with the terrain and skilled in street fighting was drawn out, ready to penetrate the Japanese heart command center.

The situation of the civil war in the city was unclear and there was no way to make a decision. The Japanese officers such as Kato and Matsumoto faced each other silently, and the atmosphere was as tense and depressing.

Until now, Kato and Matsumoto don’t think the prefecture will be lost. This mistaken and persistent persistence will eventually ruin their only hope.

To put it bluntly, they are sitting here waiting to die, leaving the Eighth Route Army's noose tighter and tighter. But their inner pride makes them unaware of this.

Kato, who never smokes, reached out to ask a Japanese staff officer for a cigarette, but waved his hand to refuse his ignition, put the cigarette under his nose, sniffed it hard, and smiled for a while, obviously intending to dilute the dull atmosphere, but it made people feel the bitterness hidden in it.

He patted his forehead gently and said, "Although the Eighth Route Army's offensive was sudden and fierce, I think with the tenacity of the Imperial Army, they will inevitably be counterattacked. Even if the counterattack fails, by dawn, reinforcements from various strongholds outside the city should arrive. Disaster is the basis of good fortune, and blessing is the basis of bad fortune. Maybe this time it will severely damage the old opponent of the Eighth Route Army and make them unable to recover."

Matsumoto was a little moved, blinked for a while, and said, "From the current situation, local response measures can no longer fundamentally reverse the overall situation, and must wait for changes in external conditions. We must hold back the enemy who attacks the city and win time with space. Fighting is like playing chess, often winning with a dangerous victory. Gains and losses often depend on the correct or wrong command, not on the temporary strength and the number of troops. I think we can give up our persistence in the city gate when necessary, preserve our troops to achieve the long-term."

"Matsumoto, I agree with your opinion, but it is too early to give up the city gate now, we..."

Before Kato finished speaking, several grenade explosions suddenly sounded in the front yard, followed by a burst of gunfire like a bean-like gunshot mixed with a panic scream.

A guard rushed over in a hurry, shouting as he ran: "The enemy is in!"

It was like a thunder thunder struck the head, and everyone present was stunned. Kato was calmer and the first to react, shouting: "Don't panic, calm down. This is a small group of armed forces taking advantage of the ease and organizing the guard to fight him out."

Kato was right. The one who came here was a dozen people from an assault group, who were interspersed among the enemy group and performing mobile combat missions.

First, he attacked a group of enemies running to reinforce the front line, and then quickly got rid of the enemy's restraint and detoured near the enemy's command center.

The enemy's command center was surrounded by guard posts, officers were coming and going, and there were antennas on the roof. Anyone could tell that this was an important part of the enemy.

The assault team penetrated into a secluded alley, climbed over several courtyard walls, dug through several walls, avoided the enemy's alert, approached the courtyard from the side in a hidden way, and suddenly appeared in front of the enemy, killing and killing the unprepared enemy with fierce firepower.

Kato, who had been through the battle formation for a long time, once went deep into the front line of gunfire and experienced various dangers, but it was the first time he tasted the taste of being shot into the command center by the enemy. Bullets shot from outside passed through the window and hit the walls, and the house was covered in dust, causing him to cough repeatedly.

Matsumoto lay on the ground and made a phone call, ordering the nearby troops to come and reinforce quickly, and then leaned at the door and looked out.

The fierce mutual shooting continued, and the firepower of the assault team was extremely fierce. The terrain of the Japanese guards was unfavorable. Although they fought tenaciously, casualties were still increasing.

There were dense gunfire outside, and a team of Japanese soldiers rushed to reinforce and caught fire with the assault team. The Japanese guards also took advantage of the situation to launch a counterattack.

Several grenades shot in from the window and exploded in the room. One after another, the smoke of gunpowder was filled with dust and dust.

The smoke of gunfire gradually dissipated, and the gunshots gradually stopped. Under the cover of smoke and dust, the assault team moved along the same path.

The Japanese in the house were killed and injured. Matsumoto's head was cut off by shrapnel, blood and brain matter flowed all over the ground, and he lay miserably on the ground.

Kato's shoulder was injured, and a piece of flesh was peeled off from his forehead. The injury was not very serious. He looked at the staff officers and guards lying beside him, and a burst of bitterness could not stop his heart, and a burst of tears burst out.

Then, the two Japanese arrived at the same time and reported to Kato the current battle situation: the front line of Yuehai Restaurant was lost, the Imperial Army suffered heavy losses, and the Eighth Route Army's offensive was even more fierce.

Hold on to change, or break through? Kato frowned and threw away the idea of ​​breaking through in an instant.

Losing a county town and even if you escape your life, you will be sent to a military court. This is a shame that a warrior will never endure.

The serious situation is no longer allowed to hesitate. Continuing the current situation can only allow the Eighth Route Army to defeat each one.

Kato made up his mind and stared at the staff with bloodshot eyes and said, "Give orders to the defenders everywhere to give up defense and all gather in the central barracks, and the command center will be transferred immediately."

…………………

The enemies in the city were ordered to abandon defense everywhere, and the tortoise retreated into the strong central barracks of fortifications.

The Eighth Route Army's troops had all entered the city and surrounded the central barracks. At the same time, the Eighth Route Army closed the city gate and launched a battle against the enemy troops who came to reinforce the strongholds outside the city.

Since there were not many enemies in the strongholds outside the city, they came in batches and were defeated one after another.

At this point, the enemies in the county have become turtles in the jar, and trapped animals are still fighting; it is unlikely that the enemies outside the city want to rush in.
