"Yoxi, our reinforcements are here, everyone will hold on!" The Japanese outpost outside the east gate, the nearly half-hour attack had caused them to lose more than half of them. The captain looked at the Eighth Route Army, which was rushing closer and closer in front of him, and was already desperate. However, the arrival of the reinforcements behind him made him see hope again, and he shouted loudly.

More than a hundred Japanese and puppet troops joined the battle, especially the heavy machine guns and four light machine guns brought by the Japanese army suddenly fired, suppressing the offensive forces' offensive, and then had to leave a few bodies and retreat in a very embarrassed manner.

The lieutenant, who had just entered the outpost, had his eyes lit up and ordered: "Yoxi, the opportunity to counterattack is here!"

"Support the light and heavy machine guns, the troops rushed out and killed the Eighth Route Army that had attacked us just now... Kill them!"

The lieutenant pulled out his command knife, pointed forward with a blade, and dozens of Japanese soldiers rushed out of the post with a bayonet rifle.

The light machine gunner hugged the machine gun in his arms, rushing and holding the fire.

The puppet army also rushed out of the outpost amid the shouts of officers and the Japanese supervising team, and followed the Japanese to chase the Eighth Route Army's retreating troops.

In less than a minute, they rushed out one or two hundred meters, and killed and injured more than a dozen Eighth Route Army troops, with almost zero casualties.

More importantly, they compressed the distance between themselves and the Eighth Route Army retreating troops to sixty or seventy meters.

As long as you rush forward a little longer and continue to shorten the distance to thirty or forty meters, the Eighth Route Army in front of you will not be able to escape.

At this moment, the Eighth Route Army gathered in front of them suddenly split into two and spread out to both sides, and then a row of bunkers piled up with sandbags appeared in front of them.

"Baga, it's a light and heavy machine gun, we're fooled!" The lieutenant in the Japanese leader suddenly changed his face and subconsciously exclaimed.

"Da da da da!"

As soon as he finished speaking, before his subordinates could react, the dense sound of machine gun strafing sounded in front of him.

Three heavy machine guns and seven or eight light machine guns fired together. Nearly ten light machine gun tongues of varying thickness intertwined with each other, forming an airtight bullet net that was rushing towards them.

"Ah...Baga!"

Soon, all kinds of screams rang in the lieutenant's ears.

The twenty or so Japanese rushing to the front were caught off guard and were beaten into sieve on the spot.

The Japanese behind quickly lay on the ground, and then wanted to retreat under the command of the lieutenant.

However, the airtight bullet net above their heads pressed them out of no chance to raise their heads, let alone turn around and retreat.

In order to survive, they could only stare at the bullet and lie on the ground, crawling forward, and retreating little by little.

But at this moment, the lieutenant appeared in despair. At some point, the Eighth Route Army had more than twice as many as his Eighth Route Army's machine gun position in front of him. Under the cover of light and heavy machine guns, they rushed to the wings of the troops, as if they were going to surround themselves and wipe out them all here.

“Woo woo woo woo…”

Suddenly, a series of screams that made him even more desperate sounded above his head.

Three shells passed over them and directly hit the outpost behind them. In the violent explosion, three balls of fire rose into the air.

A heavy machine gun that was still spitting out flames just now, covering his retreat was instantly silenced.

"It's over!" These two words flashed out of the lieutenant's mind, and then his face turned pale.

"Sir, we are surrounded!" The lieutenant who rushed out with the lieutenant shouted with fear.

"Bageyalu, I saw that this is the Eighth Route Army's conspiracy, we are fooled!" The pale-faced lieutenant replied in his trembling voice.

Then he ordered with the last glimmer of hope: "Compare firepower, we are no match for the Eighth Route Army. We can only fight with them for bayonets and strangle them together, so that the light and heavy machine guns they equipped will lose their effect, and then break through and use the bayonet to kill a day's blood!"

"Hi!" The lieutenant agreed with the order and answered without hesitation.

Soon, the Eighth Route Army surrounding them surrounded them, and the second lieutenant also issued an order to prepare for bayonets.

But the Eighth Route Army surrounding them did not give them this opportunity. During the process of surrounding them, they all greeted the rifles and pistols.

Many Japanese men held rifles with bayonets in their hands, preparing to rise up after the Eighth Route Army approached. When they strangled them together, bullets flying from all directions directly drilled blood holes in their backs.

Soon, dozens of Japanese soldiers were left in the encirclement. More than a hundred puppet troops, except for those who were killed, all surrendered.

"The troops continued to attack, took the outpost, and then rushed all the way to the east gate to prepare to attack the city!" The company commander led the team commander with excitement on his face.

After the reinforcements of the Japanese garrison headquarters in the county town left the city, as time passed, the bad premonition in Major Hepburn's heart became stronger and stronger.

Especially when the gunshots outside the city suddenly became encrypted, and there were a lot of explosions in the middle, this bad premonition became even stronger.

"Sir, something happened!" Suddenly, a terrified voice rang out of the door, and then a communication soldier rushed in.

"The troops that went out of the east gate to counterattack were surrounded by the Eighth Route Army, the troops were completely wiped out, and the outpost was also occupied by the Eighth Route Army. They had already reached the east gate and were blocking the East Gate with firepower!"

Before Major Hepburn could react, another communication soldier rushed in.

"Sir, the reinforcements sent by the North Gate are finished...the outpost is also finished!"

In just two minutes, Major Hepburn received news that four outposts were occupied by the Eighth Route Army one after another.

Compared with his solemn expression, the adjutant who proposed to send troops to reinforce the outpost had turned pale. In just a few minutes, not only was the outpost lost, but more than 600 Japanese and puppet troops who left the city were gone.

Before the Eighth Route Army's offensive troops reached the outside of the city, they used tricks to kill more than a thousand defending troops.

The garrison in the city, plus the spies and guards, had only two thousand people in full battle, and half of them were removed at once. He didn't know how to fight the next battle to defend the city, and he didn't know how the captain would scold him...

"Boom boom boom..."

Suddenly, a series of explosions from the east gate woke the two of them. Then the telephone from the command center rang.

Less than half a minute before, the second lieutenant who answered the phone reported: "Sir, at least one battalion of the Eighth Route Army is attacking the East Gate... They are equipped with a large number of light and heavy machine guns, and three mortars and two infantry artillery to cooperate in combat!"

"We only have one small team and one company on the city wall. The Eighth Route Army attacked too suddenly, and there were artillery. The troops were caught off guard, and one-third of the troops were killed or killed!"

Major Hepburn immediately reacted: "Get out a small team and reinforce the East Gate!"

"Order the artillery squadron to counterattack immediately, kill the Eighth Route Army artillery units outside the East Gate first, and then reinforce the infantry to fight!"

The second lieutenant who conveyed the order had just left, and there were violent explosions from the three defense lines, including the west gate, the south gate and the north gate.

Major Hepburn's face turned pale at this time.

Because, in the violent explosion, he heard the sound of infantry artillery shells explosion again. This means that the Eighth Route Army attacking him, there were more than two infantry artillery guns alone, not to mention the larger number of mortars!
