Dozens of elite veterans quickly climbed up the city head along the ladder, while the remaining soldiers stayed under the wall, holding rifles to shoot at the city head, covering their comrades upwards.

Several machine gun teams of the first company also set up machine guns dozens of meters away to provide fire cover.

Under the cover of cross firepower of his comrades, more than fifty elite veterans quickly climbed up to the city. The puppet army, who were originally guarding the city, instantly fled to the surroundings.

Seeing this, Li Yunlong laughed out loud.

"Haha, Gongji Sect has been taken down!"

Li Yunlong grinned and said, "I just said that this is a piece of cake for the independent group."

However, as soon as Li Yunlong finished speaking, Chen Quan suddenly shouted: "Captain, the situation is not right!"

"Huh? What's wrong? What's wrong?" Li Yunlong felt a stern when he heard this, and he raised his telescope again and aimed his vision at the city gate building of Gongjimen.

Then, Li Yunlong was surprised to see that the warrior who had just snatched the city had retreated.

Although these dozens of soldiers were holding guns, they were still forced to retreat step by step, retreating again and again.

"Fuck, what's going on?" Li Yunlong's face collapsed instantly, "Why don't you shoot?"

Chen Quan was so anxious that he stomped his feet: "Damn it, shoot, hurry up, why not shoot?"

As soon as he finished speaking, gunfire sounded really from the head of Gongjimen City, but unfortunately, it was not the Eighth Route Army that shot.

After the gunshots, the Eighth Route Army soldiers who were retreating step by step fell down in rows. In a blink of an eye, more than fifty Eighth Route Army soldiers were all in pools of blood.

Then soon, the black puppet army appeared on the top of the city wall.

Li Yunlong and Shen Quan finally understood why the soldiers didn't shoot just now.

Because those despicable and shameless puppet troops captured the people in the city to act as meat shields.

The puppet army hid behind the people and pushed them forward. Facing the unarmed people, the Eighth Route Army soldiers who snatched the city suddenly became lambs to be slaughtered.

Because the Eighth Route Army is a soldier of the people.

The responsibilities and mission of the Eighth Route Army are to protect the people.

Under no circumstances, the Eighth Route Army would not point the muzzle at its own people, but would only leave their generous backs to the people, and then use their chests to face the enemy's muzzle!

"Damn, these puppet soldiers!" Li Yunlong punched the wall in front of him.

Chen Quan almost bit his teeth. Baby Pan Ren, you'd better not fall into my hands, otherwise I'd have to let you survive or die!

...

On the head of Gongjimen.

After seeing Pan Ren appear, he "annihilated" the Eighth Route Army that was attacking the city without any effort. Diao Desheng couldn't help but feel calm, and at the same time he was secretly surprised by Pan Ren's viciousness.

The surname Pan is not leaving any way out for himself.

Pan Ren personally pushed a young woman with a baby in her arms and walked in front of the team.

The other puppet soldiers followed suit and pushed a commoner as their own flesh shield, and soon walked to the front of the Duan.

Pan Ren hurried behind the young woman, without showing his head, but shouted to the bottom of the city wall: "Listen to the Eighth Route Army below, you can only retreat a hundred meters within half a minute! If you don't listen, we will kill one person every ten seconds of delay!"

But the Eighth Route Army below hated the puppet army very much and was unwilling to retreat, so the situation froze.

Half a minute passed quickly, Pan Ren did what he said and directly ordered the puppet army to shoot a commoner.

Seeing the body of an innocent citizen falling from the top of the city, the Eighth Route Army below began to shake.

Soon another ten seconds passed, and Pan Ren ordered the puppet army to shoot a commoner without hesitation. Now, the Eighth Route Army under the city wall could not stand it and could only retreat in shame.

As soon as the Eighth Route Army retreated, the Gongjimen City Tower returned to silence.

Pan Ren said with a grim smile: "As long as I, Pan Ren, are here, the Eighth Route Army will not invade Taiyuan City!"

Diao Desheng and a group of puppet army officers quickly flattered Pan Ren as Han Xin's rebirth.

...

Taiyuan inner city, the First Army Headquarters.

Hanaguchi Masahiro: "Master Commander, the sound of guns and cannons outside seems to have become sparse?"

"Oh, is that?" Yoshio Iwamatsu put down the teacup and listened for a moment, then smiled, "It seems that Pan Sang and the 7th Division of the Imperial Army did not disappoint us, didn't we?"

"Your Excellency Commander is so sure?"

Huagu said: "Maybe the Eighth Route Army has seized the fortifications of the city walls."

"No, no, no, this is impossible." Yoshio Iwamatsu waved his hand and said, "If the Eighth Route Army seized the fortifications of the city walls, it would definitely launch an attack on various blocks in the outer city. How could it be so quiet?"

While he was speaking, the Communications Section Chief Inoue Yasushi came in and reported: "Good news, the 7th Division of the Imperial Army has repelled the attack of the Eighth Route Army and defended the city wall!"

Hanagu Masato said in surprise: "Have the attacks from all directions been repelled?"

"Yes, the attacks from all directions have been repelled." Inoue Yasushi replied, "I have to say that the 7th Division of the Imperial Army is still somewhat combat-effective, or Pan Sang is still somewhat capable."

"I'm a little curious about this." Hanagu said, "How did Pan Sang do?"

"What's the problem? You'll know if you call Pan Sang and ask?" Yoshio Iwamatsu smiled slightly, then turned his head and ordered his adjutant Yuta Ichihara, "Ichihara, send someone to invite Pan Sang to the headquarters immediately."

"Hayi!" Yuta Ichihara paused his head and immediately sent someone to invite Pan Ren.

Not long after, Pan Ren nodded and walked into the headquarters' combat room.

"Yansong Taijun, Huagu Taijun, are you looking for me?" Pan Ren said with a flattering look on his face.

Hua Guzheng nodded and asked: "Pan Sang, I want to know how you defeated the Eighth Route Army?"

"It's actually very simple." Pan Ren smiled slightly and said, "It's just taking advantage of the weaknesses of the Eighth Route Army."

"What? The weakness of the Eighth Route Army?" Hanagu Masato looked at Yoshio Iwamatsu and said with great interest, "I have been fighting with the Eighth Route Army for so long, but I don't know what weaknesses there are in the Eighth Route Army?"

Pan Ren smiled and said, "The Eighth Route Army is known as the people's army, and has always taken the responsibility and mission of protecting the people. This is their strength, because it is precisely because they have gained the support of the people through this. Under extremely unfavorable conditions, they can fight stronger and stronger, and eventually replace the national army and become a major concern of the Imperial Army. But at the same time, this is also their fatal weakness!"
