Chapter 1 No Soldiers Falling into the Trap

Gen Baoyang, the company commander, did not expect that the battle in the west of the city had ended for so long.

The trap he had set up hadn't lured in a single soldier yet.

Although the attacks from outside the city weren't fierce, the shells they fired were genuine.

Those outside the city had been shelling non-stop since the beginning of the attack.

Wei Haoqi, the squad leader of the Second Platoon's Second Squad, ordered all 170 soldiers in his squad to fire at the Japanese and puppet troops on the city wall.

"You must treat this siege as a shooting training exercise.

Don't panic, aim carefully before each shot.

This time, the company commander is taking care of us new recruits and not requiring us to attack forcefully.

It's just to train us.

Your task now is to fire at the Japanese above.

Try to kill as many Japanese as possible."

With the squad leader's orders, his soldiers focused intently on aiming and firing.

The two Type 92 infantry guns were also firing at a steady pace, carefully aiming at the Japanese and puppet troops on the city wall before each shot.

Cui Gao Yi, a new recruit who had just joined the Special Operations Company, listened to his squad leader and fired his gun!

It was very difficult to hit a Japanese soldier who only showed his head above the city wall from a distance of 200 meters.

Ben Fengyu, another new recruit beside him, was also holding a brand-new Type 38 rifle and firing at the city.

This was already Ben Fengyu's second magazine of bullets fired at the Japanese.

One magazine contained five bullets, and this was the seventh bullet.

"Bang!"

The gunshot rang out. Ben Fengyu saw a spray of blood erupt from the head of his target.

He excitedly shouted, "I hit him! I hit a Japanese soldier!"

This shot was the first Japanese soldier hit by a rifle by the entire Second Squad beneath the city of Guangde.

Wei Haoqi walked over and lay down beside him.

He encouraged him, "Good shot! Don't panic, keep shooting.

Kill those Japanese!"

He also encouraged Cui Gao Yi, "It's the same for you.

When it comes to killing Japanese soldiers, just don't panic, practice slowly.

Keep shooting every day, and you'll hit them eventually."

With the squad leader's encouragement, Gao Yi felt relaxed and aimed at another head on the city wall.

This time, it was his turn to cheer.

These new recruits were not on the battlefield for the first time, nor were they firing a gun for the first time.

Wei Haoqi just asked them not to panic and shoot slowly.

Gen Baoyang, the company commander defending the south of Guangde City.

Felt a little flustered, the battle hadn't started for long.

Several dozen of his soldiers had already been killed or wounded.

The soldiers under the city seemed to be treating this siege as a training exercise.

The gunshots were constant, but very sparse, which was obviously a tactic of pursuing quality over quantity.

On the other hand, his soldiers on the city wall were panicking, constantly firing at the Nationalists 200 meters away.

Afraid that if they fired one less shot, those people would climb up the city wall.

But at a distance of 200 meters, those people on the opposite side were extremely careful.

They were also digging trenches while fighting.

Company Commander Gen Baoyang suspected that if this battle lasted for another hour, those people outside the city would be able to dig a trench deep enough for one person to stand in.

In fact, Gen Baoyang was overthinking it.

It wouldn't take an hour; in just 30 minutes, the Second Squad of the Second Platoon would be able to complete the task he imagined.

As time slowly passed, Company Commander Gen Baoyang became even more impatient.

He heard the dense gunfire coming from inside Guangde City.

The Nationalists had already entered the city!

He knew this without being told.

Now that the west of the city was lost, it was impossible for the Nationalists not to enter the city.

Now, Company Commander Gen Baoyang was only hoping that Captain Ando Daisuke would be able to command the two reserve teams to drive the Nationalists out of the city.

After all, two company-sized reserve teams were left in the city.

That was a full 700 men!

After discovering that the north of the city had been occupied, Captain Ando Daisuke returned to his headquarters with his guards and Captain Nakago Naoto, the only surviving commander of the north gate guards.

As soon as he entered the headquarters, he immediately gave the order:

"Company Commander Fukuju Ryunosuke, immediately lead your team to recapture the north gate."

"Hai!"

Company Commander Fukuju Ryunosuke accepted the order and immediately walked out.

"Let Company Commander Nakago Naoto go with your team. Let Company Commander Nakago Naoto command that puppet army.

Company Commander Nakago, you must not fail the Empire's expectations."

Company Commander Nakago Naoto did not expect that he had just lost two companies of soldiers.

As soon as he returned to the battalion headquarters, the captain immediately entrusted him with an important task again.

Although the team he was given this time was only a puppet army.

But this was still a team!

"Hai! Captain, don't worry, I will not return until I have recaptured the lost city wall."

This was the oath Nakago Naoto swore to Captain Ando.

Captain Ando Daisuke was very happy to receive such an oath.

Daring to fight and daring to die was the quality of an imperial officer.

Company Commander Fukuju Ryunosuke accepted the order and immediately turned left as he left the headquarters.

He gathered his company and quickly rushed towards the north of the city.

The Luo Junda puppet army company, which was acting as a reserve team in Guangde City, also received orders.

Although Luo Junda was unhappy with the order, he dared not express his dissatisfaction.

He had gained two superiors in one morning.

It would be a lie to say that he had no objections, but he dared not voice any objections in front of the Japanese.

He even had to greet them with a smile:

"Lieutenant Nakago! We have a total of 184 people in our company.

Please give your instructions..."

Company Commander Nakago Naoto ordered loudly: "Captain Luo, order everyone to set off for the north of the city together.

We are going to recapture the north of the city!"

Recapture the north of the city!

This was also the mission of the entire Fukuju Ryunosuke company.

Fukuju Ryunosuke was now leading this mixed Japanese-puppet army of more than 360 men towards the north of the city.

Defending the north city wall was the Second Squad of the First Platoon.

They had already established a defense on the city wall, but this defense was facing the inside of the city.

The north city gate had also been opened, but the Eighth Platoon in the distance had not yet started to move here.

Their heavy artillery could still be used.

If the Japanese in Guangde were strong enough to recapture the north city wall, Lin Fan wouldn't mind giving them another wave of grenade bombardment.

Squad Leader Jia Chengbi had originally had 170 men under his command, but seven men had been lost during the attack on Langxi, leaving him with 163 men.

They had set up thirteen machine gun positions on the north city wall.

After clearing the battlefield, they had gained three more machine guns, which could be used directly.

The weapons of the Special Operations Company were exactly the same as those of the Japanese, and the weapons and ammunition could be used as soon as they were picked up.

Dan Chengfu had good eyesight, which was recognized by the entire Second Squad.

He had become the squad's lookout.

Dan Chengfu saw the Japanese turning from the street corner and immediately raised the alarm:

"Squad leader! The Japanese are coming! The puppet troops are coming!"

"How many Japanese are there?"

"At least thirty Japanese have run out now, and more Japanese are running out, a lot..."

Jia Chengbi ordered loudly: "Everyone, stop clearing the battlefield and get into position! Prepare for battle!"

This was the first time they had faced so many Japanese soldiers alone.

He had already seen that there were one squad of Japanese and one squad of puppet troops charging out.

This was Company Commander Fukuju Ryunosuke's order:

"The Jiang Ji Chuanzhenye Squad, you go and probe the Nationalist army's defenses first."

Fukuju Ryunosuke was not a reckless person. He did not send everyone in at once.

The Ren Wenyan Squad was paired with Jiang Ji Chuanzhenye's team in the Luo Junda Company.

The two squads, with more than 100 people combined, immediately rushed towards the city wall from the shadows on both sides of the street.

With the eaves of the houses providing cover, they could no longer be seen from the city wall.

Jia Chengbi, watching the faint figures of the Japanese soldiers, ordered loudly:

"Don't rush, wait until the Japanese charge into the open before opening fire."

He had already made up his mind: after this battle in Guangde, his squad must make several armored vehicles.

At this time, there were no better weapons to deal with the Japanese than the Special Operations Company's armored vehicles.

Jia Chengbi also ordered Dan Chengfu and Shan Huacan: "You can fire at any time if you are sure!"

Of course, they couldn't treat his two sharpshooters the same as ordinary soldiers.

Dan Chengfu smiled and said, "I'm sure! I'm sure!"

After saying that, he immediately began to aim, standing tall and seeing far.

Fusamatsu Eishi was the vanguard of the entire Jiang Ji Chuanzhenye squad.

He was charging at the front of the entire squad. These Japanese soldiers had seen the figures moving on the city wall from a distance.

Now, Fusamatsu Eishi had charged to the end of North Street.

Going forward was an open area, and after crossing this open area.

They could go to the city wall.

Now, he was using the cover of the houses to peek out to check the situation.

Fusamatsu Eishi was wearing a yellow cloth curtain hat on his head.

In Dan Chengfu's eyes, it was very clear: a Japanese soldier's head appeared above the muzzle of the gun.

Dan Chengfu had been staring at this position for a long time: the Japanese had to come out from here if they wanted to attack the city wall.

"Bang!"

A cloud of blood burst out from Fusamatsu Eishi's head, and his entire body fell forward.

Now the soldiers of the Second Squad on the city wall could see this Japanese soldier.

Squad leader Jiang Ji Chuanzhenye did not expect that he had already lost one soldier before he had even given the order to charge.

At this moment, there was another gunshot.

A Japanese soldier hidden in the middle fell down.

This time, the entire Jiang Ji Chuanzhen squad became panicked.

"There are snipers among the defenders on the city!"

These Japanese soldiers could not see the situation on the city wall, so they did not know how they were being found.

The unknown was the most terrible.

Now the soldiers and puppet troops of the entire squad were quickly changing positions.

Trying to find a safe place for themselves.

In this situation, where was the safest place?

Of course, the rooms of these ordinary people were the safest.

Moreover, all the houses in the north of the city had no doors, and the Japanese soldiers and puppet troops could freely enter and exit any room.

In the blink of an eye, the Japanese soldiers and puppet troops had all hid in the rooms.

Squad leader Jiang Ji Chuanzhenye also stayed in the room.

It was safe here, but the city wall would not be taken down if they stayed here for a day.

He ordered his soldiers to start breaking through the walls. He wanted the team to pass directly through the houses of these people.

This would avoid possible casualties.

This was a good plan! It was a pity that the doors of these families in the north of the city had just been taken away by the puppet troops in the morning, and the boxes and cabinets in their homes had also been moved away.

Now these Japanese soldiers were starting to tear down the walls.

The anger in the hearts of these people in the north of the city was like a living volcano, ready to erupt at any time.

Just looking at the dark muzzles and shiny bayonets in the hands of these Japanese soldiers and puppet troops.

They dared not move, and dared not say a word.

The Japanese gave the order, and the puppet troops were of course responsible for the rough work of chiseling walls.

These people in the north of the city really hated the puppet troops!

After two Japanese soldiers died in a row, they all disappeared.

This surprised the soldiers of the Second Squad on the city wall.

Jia Chengbi was also wondering: these Japanese soldiers were so aggressive just now, why did they suddenly disappear?

At this time, Squad Leader Jiang Ji Chuanzhenye and Squad Leader Ren Wenyan were in the most close to the city wall.

They were quietly hiding behind the windows, watching the defense situation on the city wall.

From where they were, it was thirty meters to the city wall.

If they wanted to attack the city wall, there was also a zigzag ramp, which was twenty meters long.

These Japanese soldiers had to charge through this 50-meter-long open area without any cover.

Although the soldiers on the city wall did not show their heads.

But from the muzzles of the guns that protruded, it could be recognized that there were many machine guns, at least one machine gun within a distance of 100 meters.

Just watching here, they would definitely not be able to take down the city wall.

Squad Leader Jiang Ji Chuanzhenye looked at Squad Leader Ren Wenyan: "Squad Leader Ren! Now it's time for your squad to attack!

Let your squad launch an attack!"

Although Squad Leader Ren Wenyan was also a squad leader, he knew in his heart: "He was a puppet soldier! He was a traitor! He was a running dog! Not to mention the order of the Japanese squad leader, even if a Japanese soldier said something.

His squad leader had to execute it!"

It was just that he really didn't want to go in this situation! "My Lord!

..."

Before Squad Leader Ren Wenyan could finish speaking, Squad Leader Jiang Ji Chuanzhenye's eyes were already filled with murderous intent.

For these puppet troops, Squad Leader Jiang Ji Chuanzhenye could really kill them.

As long as they were not warriors of the Empire, it didn't matter if they were killed!

Ren Wenyan immediately changed his words: "Please, your honor, provide fire support!"

Only then did Squad Leader Jiang Ji Chuanzhenye have a smile on his face:

"I'm optimistic about you!

Squad Leader Ren!"

To express his goodwill, Squad Leader Jiang Ji Chuanzhenye deliberately increased his tone.

Squad Leader Ren Wenyan could only gather the puppet troops of the entire squad.

He ordered: "The Japanese have ordered us to attack the city wall!

Everyone pay attention, rush out from here later and run faster.

Those who rush to the city wall should immediately establish a defensive position.

Your honor will support us from behind."

It was too slow for a puppet squad of more than 50 people to rush out of a house.

Squad Leader Jiang Ji Chuanzhenye ordered these puppet troops to continuously chisel open the houses of four families.

More than 50 puppet troops were divided into four households and rushed out of the doors of these people.

They ran 50 to 60 meters and went to the city wall and then guarded it on the city wall.

The Japanese could then rush up.

This plan was perfect!

The puppet troops were preparing in these people's rooms.

The Japanese soldiers were not idle either. They were also preparing in these rooms.

Squad Leader Jiang Ji Chuanzhenye was really going to provide fire cover for the puppet troops' attack.

The machine gunner of his squad was already ready.

The machine gun was set up behind the window, only revealing a small muzzle.

The other soldiers using rifles were waiting for an opportunity.

They had to find a shooting position at the door after the puppet troops rushed out.

Dan Chengfu pointed to a window across the city wall and said, "Squad leader! There are machine guns in those windows."

Although a muzzle was not big, and a black muzzle was stretched out from the dark window.

It was still discovered by him in Dan Chengfu's eyes.

Jia Chengbi was looking at the machine guns opposite and was calculating:

"Thirty meters, a wooden house!"

Thinking of this, he already had a plan.

He whispered, "Bring our small directional bombs."

Directional bombs were a reserved item for the Special Operations Company and the weapons and equipment that killed the most Japanese soldiers.

Every squad would use them.

Although these new recruits did not know how to use them, they could always hear about them from the stories told by the veterans.

And when they were in new recruit training, they had heard a lot from those new recruits who went to Tangshan and Jurong to bury the Japanese corpses.

The Japanese soldiers were bombed miserably!

The corpses were piled up like mountains! Now the squad leader was going to use such a big weapon.

A small bomb bag contained half a catty of medicine and two catties of iron pellets on the outside.

The iron pellets that the Special Operations Company had added from Nanjing City had been used up.

What they were using now was irregular iron sand.

This iron sand was completely self-made.

The manufacturing method was very simple: heat the iron block red. When it was red-hot, take it out and throw it hard on the iron plate. It would scatter out iron sand of different sizes.

Only one side of the directional bomb had iron sand.

Now what Jia Chengbi wanted was not this kind of thing. He wanted all sides to have iron sand.

Jia Chengbi looked at Dan Chengfu: "Can you throw something weighing a few catties to the doors opposite?"

When the squad leader asked, Dan Chengfu said carelessly, "I can throw five catties anywhere."

Shan Huacan quickly said, "I can do it too!"

These were the two big eaters in the squad. Their strength was also the greatest.

Jia Chengbi thought for a while, "Then let's make it four catties!

Add half a catty of medicine inside and a catty of iron sand on the outside."

Jia Chengbi's prestige was very high in front of these two big eaters.

When the squad leader gave the order, the other veterans in his squad immediately began to tie them up.

In a new recruit squad, including the squad leader, there were ten veterans.

Now these veterans were explaining in detail to the more than 50 new recruits gathered here how this explosive package was made.

Ten bags were prepared in less than two minutes.

They also told these new recruits that the fuse burned 0.9 centimeters per second.

It was generally calculated at 1 centimeter per second, and the throwing speed was calculated at 10 to 20 meters per second.

The distance to the opposite side from here was 30 meters, and 3 centimeters of the fuse needed to be left in the air.

Leaving 2 seconds for the reaction, 5 centimeters were left for each fuse.

The explanation was detailed and the listening was attentive.

The explosives were wrapped in the very center, and the outside was all iron sand.

Jia Chengbi had given the order in advance: "Later, when the order is given to hide, everyone is not allowed to stick their heads out to look outside.

Be sure to lower your head and hide your body as low as possible in the protection of the city wall.

Wait until the explosion is over before you are allowed to raise your head.

This thing can kill people within a range of more than 100 meters when it explodes.

It does not distinguish between friend and foe."

He asked the soldiers to pass on his orders.

Then he ordered Dan Chengfu and Shan Huacan: "Since the Japanese are hiding in the rooms.

They will definitely rush out suddenly.

Wait for my order later.

Throw the explosives when their vanguard rushes to the city wall.

Don't throw them on the roof of someone else's house first."

Dan Chengfu and Shan Huacan both guaranteed, "Squad leader, we will definitely throw them well."

Jia Chengbi repeatedly told them, "It is better to throw them closer than to throw them on the roof.

Our kind of bomb has greatly reduced its power when thrown on the roof.

It can't achieve the desired effect."

"Understood!" The two new recruits who were entrusted with important tasks were very excited.

Jia Chengbi was a careful person. He not only asked these two strong new recruits to throw the bombs, but also asked two veterans to come over and add him.

A total of five people threw the bombs. After all, they were on the city wall. As long as they threw the bombs down the city, they would be able to make the Japanese who charged look good.

The city was preparing for defense, and the city was preparing for attack.

Everything was ready!

Squad Leader Jiang Ji Chuanzhenye gave an order, "Attack!"

"Charge!" Squad Leader Ren Wenyan translated.

These puppet troops and Japanese soldiers had not been working together for a long time, and many puppet troops did not understand the Japanese instructions.

With Squad Leader Ren Wenyan's order, more than 50 puppet troops rushed out of four rooms quickly.

The Japanese machine guns in the four windows also began to sweep. Although they could only look up and see the muzzles of the guns on the city wall.

Now these Japanese machine guns were shooting at the muzzles of the machine guns on the city wall.

There was a clear difference between the muzzles of machine guns and rifles. As long as they suppressed those machine guns, they could make these charging puppet troops much safer.

Cheng Anran was one of these charging puppet troops.

When these puppet troops were randomly mixed with the Japanese this morning.

He murmured in his heart, "I'm afraid we will be cannon fodder!"

Becoming a puppet soldier was his own choice. When the Nationalist army retreated from Shanghai, he could have followed the large army.

He could also quietly return to his hometown.

But in the end, he decided: to follow Captain Ren.

Anyway, these soldiers were just working for food.

When Captain Ren surrendered and became a puppet soldier, he followed him and became a puppet soldier.

These days as a puppet soldier were no different from being in the Nationalist army:

There was very little training every day, but there were patrols.

The Japanese did not care about military discipline.

As long as you didn't provoke the Japanese, it was not a problem to provoke anyone.

This kind of carefree life was much happier than before in the Nationalist army.

Unfortunately, the happy time was too short.

They would be mixed together in the morning, and now they had to order them to attack the city wall.

Being in the forefront had always resulted in the most deaths.

Cheng Anran had not thought about escaping.

It was just that these puppet troops had been together with the Japanese since the first moment they were mixed together.

Cheng Anran saw from the dodging and looking around in the eyes of his puppet army brothers: he was not the only one who wanted to run away.

It was just that he had not found a chance.

Now, if they ran around when they were charging, those machine guns that were sweeping towards the city head would probably sweep towards them immediately.

Cheng Anran, who knew what these puppet troops were in the eyes of the Japanese.

Now, he dared not run around.

He could only try to make himself appear more courageous and rush to the middle of the team.

That should be much safer!

The distance of 30 meters was actually not far.

These puppet troops had all been forced to go to Liangshan, and they had to charge at the fastest speed.

They all knew: only by rushing to the city wall as quickly as possible and crawling would they be most likely to survive.

Therefore, these puppet troops were running as fast as they could after rushing out of the room.

They ran 30 meters in 6 seconds.

During these 6 seconds, only the Japanese machine guns were firing.

The city head was silent.

The Nationalists on the city wall must have been frightened.

Cheng Anran was secretly happy: he was always like this when he was in the Nationalist army.

He didn't fire a single shot after a battle!

It wasn't that he didn't want to fire a gun, but he didn't dare to fire a gun! If he could be like this when he was in the Nationalist army, launching such a charge towards the Japanese position.

Or take a few shots when the Japanese launched such a charge.

The Japanese would not have occupied so much territory so easily.

Cheng Anran, who was full of emotion, suddenly felt a black shadow fly over his head at this moment, like a few crows, flying down lightly from the city wall.

Some were flying towards the rooms they rushed out of, and some were starting to fall in the open space above.

The sound of the fuse burning was clearly transmitted to his ears.

At the same time, he also heard a clear order, "Hide!"

This sound seemed to come from above the nine heavens.

In fact, this order was issued by Jia Chengbi on the city wall.

The soldiers of the Second Squad had not fired a single shot in the past few seconds.

After throwing out two bombs in succession, Jia Chengbi and the others immediately lowered their bodies and hid their entire bodies in the city wall.

Let the city wall bear all the iron sand that flew around!

Cheng Anran and the puppet troops who had rushed to the city wall were not so lucky.

Squad Leader Jiang Ji Chuanzhenye, who had been watching the movements on the city wall.

He had doubts and excitement in his heart that there was not a single shot fired on the city wall after the puppet troops launched an attack.

When he saw a lot of black shadows flying down from the city wall, he was only terrified.

"Lie down!" As a commander, he was still dutiful.

Although Squad Leader Ren Wenyan was reluctant, he had to follow behind the last puppet soldier and rush out of the protected area.

He saw from Squad Leader Jiang Ji Chuanzhenye's eyes: if you don't go out, I will kill you!

This kind of look made Squad Leader Ren Wenyan had to take the initiative and bravely rush out of the room.

He rushed into the open area. He rushed out less than 10 meters and found that darkness was descending from the sky.

Now it was too late for him to run back to the protected area.

What Squad Leader Ren Wenyan could do was a lazy donkey roll, wanting to roll back into the protected area.

At this moment, "Boom! Boom! Boom!..."

The continuous sound of bombs exploding was heard by everyone in the north of the city.

No one could count how many times it sounded.

All the iron sand accelerated by the gunpowder gas penetrated all the objects they could touch at extremely high speeds.

Whether they encountered soil, wooden boards, or clothes.

Soil and wooden boards were lifeless things. They silently endured these strong iron sand insertions.

There was no reaction.

All the puppet troops who were exposed in the open area.

After discovering the black shadow that appeared above their heads, everyone knew: this was definitely not a pie in the sky!

These people were also veterans who had been on the battlefield for a long time.

They quickly lay down on the ground.

All they could do now was this reaction.

They couldn't do any more because there was no place to cover or hide in this open area.

From the sound of the first explosion, there was a rustling sound in the air.

It was like rain hitting plantain trees, and silkworms devouring mulberry leaves.

This sound continued to sound in the air with the continuous explosions.

Then came the iron sand, which, like these sounds, hit their heads, their bodies, and even their hearts.

The iron sand penetrated their clothes and pierced into their bodies.

Many iron sands also penetrated their bodies and plunged into the ground.

The entire explosion process lasted less than 2 seconds.

Not to mention these puppet troops who were targeted, even the soldiers of the Second Squad who threw these shells heard the rustling sound while lying on the city wall.

They also felt the vibration caused by the explosion.

When these explosions stopped, Jia Chengbi ordered, "You can raise your heads!"

Only then did Dan Chengfu, Shan Huacan and other soldiers of the Second Squad carefully look outside.

What Dan Chengfu and Shan Huacan cared about was their own record.

None of the more than 50 puppet troops who had been charging hard were able to stand.

These puppet troops were lying on the ground, motionless and silent.

They were as quiet as if they were asleep.

It was just that a lot of blood had flowed out of this open space, and there was a strong bloody smell in the air.

Dan Chengfu and Shan Huacan did what they said, they did not throw the bombs on the roofs or at the door.

They directly threw four bombs into four houses without doors.

Jia Chengbi saw that the houses where the Japanese had been firing guns were all collapsed.

Squad leader Jiang Ji Chuanzhenye and more than 30 Japanese soldiers who were providing fire cover in the four rooms who had been hiding in the rooms watching the puppet troops charge.

After seeing the explosives being thrown in, they heard the squad leader's order.

Some of the Japanese soldiers reacted quickly and immediately lay down.

Those who reacted slowly, especially those machine gunners who were firing, did not react at all.

The bomb had already exploded.

Before the houses collapsed, these Japanese soldiers in the rooms were full of holes.

Their bodies were penetrated by countless iron sands. Even those Japanese soldiers who were lying on the ground only reduced the belonging of some iron sands.

But they could not escape their destiny. These Japanese soldiers were also hit by a lot of iron sands.

In fact, even if they had not encountered iron sand, they would not have survived if they had been bombed by half a kilogram of explosives at such a close distance.

Kanzo Kotaro was one step late and was unable to get into the same room as the squad leader.

There were a dozen puppet troops and seven or eight Japanese soldiers standing in that room.

Those who could enter that room and show their faces in front of the squad leader were all strong figures in the entire Jiang Ji Chuanzhen squad.

Soldiers on the edge like Kanzo Kotaro were not qualified to enter.

There were more than a dozen soldiers like him.

These Japanese soldiers could only wait in the back room, ready to listen to Squad Leader Jiang Ji Chuanzhenye's call at any time.

Kanzo Kotaro clearly heard the "Attack" order issued by the squad leader.

He also heard the sound of his teammates shooting with machine guns. All of this was so exciting.

Then he heard the order issued by the squad leader, "Lie down!"

Although he did not know whether this order was issued to him.

He still carried out the order very obediently.

When Kanzo Kotaro had just laid down, there was a deafening explosion.

Then countless iron sands penetrated the wooden board that separated this room from the front room.

The boxes and cabinets in the entire room had all been moved to the city wall by the puppet troops in the morning.

Those iron sands penetrated one layer of wooden boards and then did not hinder them any more. They began to rush towards the standing Japanese soldiers.

These standing Japanese soldiers had also heard Squad Leader Jiang Ji Chuanzhenye's "Lie down!" order.

These people clearly knew that they were in the back room, and the squad leader could not possibly see them.

Therefore, it could be inferred that "this order was not aimed at them."

In other words, they did not have to comply.

Of course, Kanzo Kotaro was not the only soldier who obeyed the order. There were a total of three.

Three idiots!

Three fools!

The sneers that appeared on the faces of these standing clever Japanese soldiers had not fully bloomed.

They had already turned into painful expressions.

Even their faces had been hit by iron sands.

Then these Japanese soldiers also fell down.

After the explosion, Kanzo Kotaro stood up with lingering fear.

He looked blankly at the houses in front that had collapsed, and then looked at the Japanese soldiers lying on the ground and moaning.

Now, in the entire mixed Jiang Ji Chuanzhen squad, there were only three Japanese soldiers who could stand up.

Kanzo Kotaro carefully carried a wounded soldier with Kuri Kanta along the road opened up by the puppet troops.

They passed through the people's houses. They were now only three Japanese soldiers and could not continue the attack.

They had to go back and report!

Makimoto Kazuki was carrying a moaning Japanese soldier on his back and followed behind them.

These Japanese soldiers quickly returned to the safe area behind. Squad Leader Fukuju Ryunosuke had just heard the explosion from the north of the city.

He was bewildered.

He saw the Japanese soldiers retreating.

He immediately asked, "What happened?"

Makimoto Kazuki quickly put down the Japanese soldier who was still moaning and reported the progress of the entire squad.

Although he had not had the opportunity to enter the forefront and perform just now.

He could still guess.

It was just that he did not know what kind of weapon the defending Nationalist army had used to cause the destruction of the entire squad.

He could only guess that it should be a bomb or a grenade.

Because such power could only be a bomb or a shell.

Shells would not give the squad leader time to issue orders.

Hearing that the mixed squad he had sent out, more than 100 people, had only three people left.

Squad Leader Fukuju Ryunosuke was about to vomit blood.

How long had it been?

Less than a quarter of an hour!

Even if there were more than 100 pigs, they would not have been killed in such a short period of time! No matter what, the reality was so cruel.

This time, Squad Leader Fukuju Ryunosuke would not divide his troops any more. He would personally go to direct the attack on the city.

The new recruits of the Second Squad of the First Platoon of the Special Operations Company on the city wall.

They had watched the squad leader and several veterans make those ten bombs.

Just now, ten bombs had been thrown out in such a short period of time.

Now they saw that none of the puppet troops under the city were alive.

These new recruits could tell whether the puppet troops lying on the ground were really dead or pretending.

This was because none of the puppet troops lying on the ground were overlapping.

This was too clear for these new recruits about the things on the battlefield.

If there were corpses overlapping each other, then the corpse lying underneath might be pretending to be dead.

Now, the puppet troops were all spread out, and there was a pool of blood under each puppet soldier's body.
