Chapter 1 Conversations Above the City Walls

Feng Ruili and Huang Ruizhen's small team, hidden outside the city, couldn't hear the conversation of the puppet soldiers on the city wall.

Feng Ruili ordered, "Hou Junnan and Fu Yuansi, you two go back and report to the platoon leader:

A thirteen-man patrol of Japanese devils walked along the city wall.

Also, four puppet soldiers were spotted on the tower.

The city wall is ten meters high and difficult to climb by hand."

Hou Junnan and Fu Yuansi agreed and immediately retreated quietly to report to Chen Sichuan.

The half-hour break passed quickly, and the platoons of the Special Operations Company set off according to Lin Fan's orders.

Langxi wasn't a big place, but it used to be a bustling commercial center, with more than a hundred stores in the county town of over ten thousand people.

Most of them were traditional businesses that relied on Langxi agriculture for processing, such as sauce workshops, oil mills, flour mills, pastry shops, grain stores, grocery stores, and restaurants.

But as early as 1926, they had raised funds to build a thermal power plant called "Langxi County Star Electric Light Company."

After Captain Kiyotaro Inoki occupied Langxi, he restored the power plant.

It wasn't that he liked to support industrial development, but that life with electricity was much more convenient.

However, Captain Kiyotaro Inoki managed to restore the power plant, but not the hearts of the people.

Most of the merchants in Langxi County had closed their doors, suspended business, and returned to their hometowns.

Chen Sichuan received the report from Hou Junnan and Fu Wusi and ordered the team to bring ten bamboo ladders.

With bamboo ladders, it would be easy to climb the ten-meter-high city wall.

These bamboo ladders were very light, and a soldier could carry one while carrying all his equipment.

When the soldiers of his platoon arrived at the east side of the city, they saw that the city wall was empty.

It was like a ghost town!

Liu Laopao looked at the time: six forty-five!

There were still fifteen minutes before the attack on the city, and behind him were rows of soldiers, ready to go.

Siege ladders, ropes, homemade armored vehicles, Type 92 infantry guns, and mortars were all ready.

They were just waiting for the time to launch the attack.

The city wall on the west side was also empty, with no enemies at all.

Jia Shusheng watched a team of Japanese devils walk along the city wall on the south side of the city.

He said regretfully, "These Japanese devils are lucky to have run away."

If it hadn't been for Lin Fan's order to launch the attack from all four directions at seven o'clock sharp,

Jia Shusheng would have wanted to attack those Japanese devils right then.

Xiao Dongbei was ready on the north side of the city.

He was just waiting for the time to attack!

Feng Junya had gone ahead along the road to scout the terrain, and two anti-aircraft guns were quietly deployed, concealed a thousand meters in front of the east gate.

They were just waiting for the enemies on the city wall to resist, to give them a hard time.

Lin Fan stood at the artillery position set up by the first squad of the eighth platoon, looking at Langxi not far away through his binoculars.

He could see some smoke on the city wall, probably from the bonfires lit by the soldiers on duty.

Although it wasn't snowing, it was indeed a bit cold.

Fortunately, his team had captured a lot of supplies, and the soldiers were doing okay in terms of keeping warm.

At least, there wouldn't be any frostbite or casualties due to the cold.

He looked at the time, six fifty-three, seven minutes before the attack.

Just as it was about to reach seven o'clock, Xiao Dongbei suddenly saw a team of Japanese patrolmen appear on the city wall.

Captain Kiyotaro Inoki was still inspecting the city wall. He had long since relaxed his vigilance in recent days.

The entire city wall had long since been unguarded by Japanese devils.

Today, he was just acting on a whim, leading a team of Japanese devils to inspect the city wall.

He also wanted to get some pleasure from punishing these puppet soldiers who weren't on guard according to regulations.

The north gate was the last city gate he was inspecting, and he was very dissatisfied with the performance of the puppet soldiers at the previous three city gates.

When he arrived at the north gate, the performance of the puppet soldiers here

still dissatisfied him: the puppet soldiers here hadn't even noticed the arrival of his team.

They were all hiding in the windbreak, warming themselves around a fire, which was unbearable.

Captain Kiyotaro Inoki rushed forward and kicked the puppet soldiers.

After the puppet soldiers stood up straight, he began to slap them in the face one by one.

The four puppet soldiers, Bai Hongyuan, Wang Ju, Zhao Bang, and Zhong Maodian, didn't expect that Captain Inoki would come to inspect so early today.

They stood there, frightened and uneasy.

They had already been kicked several times on their butts and legs.

Now it was their turn to be slapped in the face.

Bai Hongyuan thought to himself, "If you hit me again, I'll definitely shoot you."

Captain Kiyotaro Inoki seemed to know what he was thinking and immediately gave him a few more slaps.

Bai Hongyuan still didn't dare to take the rifle off his back.

He was just thinking about it, but in his heart, he was already shooting: "Bang!"

"Bang!" A gunshot rang out.

The gunshot in Bai Hongyuan's mind seemed to break through the fantasy and come to reality.

Bai Hongyuan seemed to hear a real gunshot!

Captain Kiyotaro Inoki shouted loudly, "Who's shooting?"

In the team he was leading, Sergeant Eita Uzama suddenly fell forward.

He fell headfirst into the fire in front of him.

The blazing flames immediately ignited Sergeant Eita Uzama's hair.

A strong smell of burnt hair filled the air.

Behind Sergeant Eita Uzama's head, there was a bullet hole with blood gushing out.

"Enemy attack! Enemy attack!" Captain Kiyotaro Inoki shouted loudly.

Then he realized, "Ryota Kasayama, go back and notify the entire squadron to come to the north gate immediately.

Also, have Captain Wang Zhifei bring all the puppet soldiers over.

You pigs, hurry up and defend!"

After the gunshot, the dozen or so Japanese devils who were patrolling with Captain Inoki

were only stunned for a moment before they reacted. They immediately lowered their bodies

and rushed to the edge of the city to look outside:

In their view, outside the north gate, teams of soldiers were carrying ladders and pushing carts.

They were rushing toward the city wall.

Seeing that the soldiers were still three hundred meters away, the Japanese soldiers didn't immediately open fire.

Bai Hongyuan, Wang Ju, Zhao Bang, and Zhong Maodian, the four puppet soldiers who had been scolded by Captain Inoki,

hurriedly rushed to the edge of the city, hurriedly raised their guns, and opened fire on the Nationalist soldiers charging outside!

"Bang!"

"Bang!"

"Bang!"

…

Four gunshots, all fired by the four puppet soldiers.

The dozen or so Japanese devils held their breath at this time, keeping steady and not moving their guns.

They just aimed nervously, waiting, waiting for the attacking soldiers to get closer before opening fire.

Sergeant Shii Oogawara, the machine gunner in this small team, was also nervously waiting for the best opportunity to shoot.

The four puppet soldiers had just been beaten by Captain Inoki, so they wanted to show off:

So, the four of them didn't care what was what and opened fire on the Nationalist army charging outside the city.

They fired continuously, and the five bullets in a magazine were quickly used up.

Xiao Dongbei, who had been watching his watch, saw that it was already seven o'clock.

From five hundred meters away, he fired a shot at the row of Japanese devils on the city tower:

"Bang!"

"Charge!"

He didn't see the figure of the Japanese devil Eita Uzama falling down.

Xiao Dongbei also didn't expect that his marksmanship had become so godly that he could hit a Japanese devil right in the head from a distance of five hundred meters.

The platoon leader ordered, and the team of just under three hundred men in two squads immediately began to charge.

At the front were five homemade armored vehicles, followed by ten soldiers carrying bamboo ladders.

The soldiers of the second squad of the fourth platoon, led by Squad Leader Liao Yushu, were no slower than the soldiers of the first squad.

Although they hadn't been training under Squad Leader Liao Yushu for long, they knew the squad leader's personality:

Always striving to be the first!

Ni Haishan was only twenty years old this year. He ran the fastest and always followed behind Squad Leader Liao Yushu.

As he charged, he asked Liao Yushu, "Squad leader! The Japanese devils are shooting.

Where are our cannons? Why haven't they fired yet?"

Liao Yushu said, "They'll be firing soon! Those Japanese devils are shooting from so far away.

They're obviously just new recruits, cowards."

"Why?"

"From so far away, they probably won't hit anything. They're shooting just to make a sound, to embolden themselves," Liao Yushu said confidently.

The shooting on the city continued, but the gunfire wasn't intense.

It was intermittent, as if they were ready to run away at any moment.

The soldiers of the fourth platoon had only charged a hundred meters when they were maliciously sniped from the city wall.

They were still more than three hundred meters away from the city wall! Gunshots kept ringing out, shooting at the soldiers of the fourth platoon who were charging.

Although none of the soldiers were hit, this wasn't a good sign:

They dared to shoot!

Xiao Dongbei ordered, "Mortars and infantry guns, open fire!"

Upon receiving the order, Yu Guanghe immediately dropped a mortar shell into the barrel.

When there were Japanese devils on the city tower, he had already set up the mortar, set the angle, and set the position.

The propellant for the shell had also been calculated, and he was just waiting for the order.

Yu Guanghe had joined the Special Operations Company after escaping from Nanjing.

Ten mortars fired at the same time.

Liu Hualin was an old-timer in the first squad. Since they had the Type 92 infantry gun, he had always been the gunner.

He took great care of his gun and had already prepared it.

He and his comrades pushed the gun as the whole platoon charged. Hearing Xiao Dongbei's order,

they immediately stopped. At this distance of less than five hundred meters, the shell would fly in a straight line.

After a slight adjustment, he fired at the crenellations of the city wall.

There were four other guns like Liu Hualin's.

They opened fire a little later than the mortars.

Wang Ju, Bai Hongyuan, Zhao Bang, and Zhong Maodian had all been Nationalist soldiers before.

They had never imagined that their four guns would provoke such a big reaction from the attacking team.

Even Captain Kiyotaro Inoki hadn't expected that the Nationalist army attacking would have such powerful firepower.

He ordered, "Hold on!"

Sergeant Eita Uzama, whom he had sent to gather reinforcements, hadn't returned yet.

In the first round of shelling just now, none of the Japanese devils or puppet soldiers on the city wall had been killed or injured.

This didn't make Captain Kiyotaro Inoki feel any easier: he knew that after the first round of shelling, the real blow would come.

Sure enough, with the direct fire of the Type 92 infantry gun, three of the four puppet soldiers had fallen.

Wang Ju rolled back and forth on the ground, "My eyes! My eyes!

I can't see anything anymore."

He had been hit by shrapnel, and his face was covered in blood.

Bai Hongyuan had been blown away by the shell just now and was now lying motionless five meters away, dead.

Zhao Bang also fell to the ground, silent, not knowing if he was dead or alive.

Zhong Maodian didn't expect that just a moment ago, a few people were still warming themselves comfortably around the fire together.

Now, three of them were dead or injured in an instant, scaring him so much that he threw away the rifle in his hand.

He didn't dare to open fire at the outside of the city anymore.

He turned around and ran.

"Come back!" Captain Kiyotaro Inoki shouted loudly.

Captain Kiyotaro Inoki had never liked this kind of garbage.

The opponents outside the city had just started to charge and were still four hundred meters away when they opened fire.

Although they couldn't hit anything, these puppet soldiers dared to open fire and dared to fight.

Captain Kiyotaro Inoki had originally been somewhat admiring.

As a result, Zhong Maodian, after seeing his comrades killed and injured, played the specialty he had when he was a conscript in the Nationalist army.

He threw away his gun and ran!

Captain Kiyotaro Inoki couldn't let him run away, he just shouted at him to come back.

Seeing that his order was ineffective,

Captain Kiyotaro Inoki didn't hesitate any longer. He pulled out his pistol from his waist and fired five shots at Zhong Maodian, who had already run more than ten meters and was about to run down the city.

He had used up all the bullets in his pistol, which showed how angry Captain Kiyotaro Inoki was.

Zhong Maodian finally didn't escape Captain Kiyotaro Inoki's execution of battlefield discipline.

His body, hit by five bullets, paused in front of the ladder. He looked back at Captain Kiyotaro Inoki in bewilderment.

Only then did his body slowly fall, rolling down the city along the stairs.

As for Wang Ju, who was rolling on the ground and wailing, none of the dozen or so Japanese devils on the city wall ran over to check on him.

The Japanese devils just tacitly spread out further.

They were preventing a single shell from killing more people.

When the second round of mortar shells landed, one of the shells exploded next to Wang Ju, who was rolling and wailing.

His body was lifted up by the shell and flew high into the air.

It flew over the crenellations, flew down the city wall, and was obviously not going to survive.

The other two puppet soldiers who had fallen to the ground remained motionless.

When the shelling began, the charging team outside the city didn't slow down.

On the contrary, they were accelerating their charge.

At this time, the soldiers of the second squad of the fourth platoon finally understood the points that the squad leader had always emphasized:

To make everyone run faster during training, run even faster.

At that time, the squad leader said that running fast would make it impossible for the Japanese devils to run away when charging.

When retreating, the Japanese devils wouldn't be able to catch up.

Now they found out the gap between themselves, these new recruits, and the veterans of the first squad.

When they had just started charging, the soldiers of the first squad and the second squad were still chasing together, evenly matched.

Now there was a five-meter gap between the first squad and the second squad.

There were ten veterans in the squad who could keep up with the speed of the first squad.

But they were now a whole with the second squad, and these veterans kept urging them in the team: Run!

Run faster!

Run even faster!

Liu Huazi was twenty-two years old this year, and Liu Dongsheng was forty years old. They were an uncle and nephew.

They had originally been eating rations in the Nationalist army, then they had eaten rations in the puppet army, and now they were soldiers in the second squad of the fourth platoon.

As Liu Huazi charged, he said to his uncle Liu Dongsheng, "Second Uncle, why aren't I afraid when I charge today?"

Liu Dongsheng pointed to the more than a hundred people charging in front, "The officers are charging in the front, what's there to be afraid of!"

The officers he was pointing to were Platoon Leader Xiao Dongbei, Squad Leader Song Jin of the first squad, and Squad Leader Liao Yushu of the second squad.

Several officers of this team attacking the north gate were charging in the front.

Xiao Dongbei was charging with the first squad, and only Squad Leader Liao Yushu was charging in front of the second squad.

He was a squad leader and couldn't leave his squad, so although he could have charged faster, he had to take care of the new recruits under his command.

Oogawara Shiina watched the soldiers charging under the city. Several hundred people had entered the range of three hundred meters.

There were only thirteen Japanese devils on the city wall, and Sergeant Eita Uzama was already dead.

The captain had sent another one back to gather reinforcements, so there were actually only eleven guards on the city wall.

Oogawara Shiina had no choice but to open fire immediately.

The moment he opened fire with the light machine gun in his hand, he immediately suppressed the charging team.

The bullets hit the shields of the five homemade armored vehicles at the front, making a "pa pa" sound.

Huang Shengdao, who was pushing the car, immediately stopped, and the heavy machine gun immediately fired at the firing point that had just appeared.

Yu Guanghe and Liu Hualin, the artillerymen who were bombarding the Japanese devils,

discovered a new continent and immediately bombarded Oogawara Shiina's position.

At least five mortars and two infantry guns fired at his position.

After Huang Shengdao stopped, the firepower of the heavy machine gun had made it impossible for Oogawara Shiina to even show his head.

Just as he was preparing to change his position to continue shooting, the whistling sound of shells cutting through the air kept ringing out.

The crenellation he was hiding behind had also been blown apart.

Captain Kiyotaro Inoki watched the only machine gun fire on the city wall.

Before a magazine had been emptied, the machine gunner had been killed by the artillery fire outside the city.

Moreover, not only the main shooter, Oogawara Shiina, had died in that place, but also his assistant, Kamikubo, had been killed as well.

There was no one to use the machine gun.

Captain Kiyotaro Inoki immediately ordered, "Sergeant Rikuto Kaminan, go pick up the machine gun."

Rikuto Kaminan cautiously rushed over, picked up the machine gun, and picked up a few magazines from Kamikubo's side.

Only then did he run back under the admiring gaze of Captain Kiyotaro Inoki.

He hid in a safe position, loaded the bullets, and found a position.

Now the soldiers charging under the city had entered within two hundred meters.

Rikuto Kaminan immediately began to shoot.

The other Japanese devils on the city also began to fire with their rifles.

When the gunshots rang out on the north side of the city, the crisp, loud gunshots pierced the silent Langxi County.

Wang Zhifei, the puppet army battalion commander who was sleeping in his camp,

was so frightened that he rolled off the bed.

In December, the ground was very cold.

Battalion Commander Wang Zhifei, who had rolled from the warm bedding to the ground, shivered from the cold.

He quickly got up from the ground, put on his clothes and pants, and asked loudly, "What happened?

What happened?"

Outside the room where he lived, there was also a communication soldier named He Xinzhi.

He Xinzhi ran in, "Report, battalion commander! There are gunshots everywhere outside the city.

We don't know what's going on."

"Quick! Quick, get the brothers together!" Battalion Commander Wang Zhifei ordered.

The gunshots didn't only alarm the puppet soldiers.

The Japanese devils who were already up and training also heard the gunshots.

Although their Captain Kiyotaro Inoki wasn't in the camp,

Captain Yuto Tsuti of the first squad immediately ordered, "

Squad Leader Tomomi Nakanobu, immediately lead everyone from the squadron headquarters to support the north gate.

The second squad will support the south gate.

The third squad will support the west gate.

The first squad will support the east gate.

If there are no enemies after arriving, return here immediately and act as a reserve team.

Sergeant Ryota Kasayama, you go to the puppet army camp immediately and order them to support the north gate."

"Hai!" Sergeant Ryota Kasayama quickly ran out.

A squadron of Japanese devils rushed to the four directions according to Captain Yuto Tsuti's orders.

Wang Zhifei had three hundred men under his command, and at this time there was a squad at each of the four city gates.

In his battalion headquarters, there were actually less than a hundred people.

After receiving the order from Sergeant Ryota Kasayama, Wang Zhifei immediately led the assembled team to rush toward the north gate.

The sound of guns and cannons on the north gate had long awakened the puppet army squad that was sleeping under the city wall.

This was a puppet army squad. In addition to the four puppet soldiers on the city tower,

there were also fifty puppet soldiers sleeping in the room under the city wall.

They had already woken up after the first gunshot.

However, Squad Leader Tsuneo Masu was afraid, even though he heard the sound of gunfire from the city wall.

He didn't assemble the team.

Just now, after he heard the gunshots, he had originally walked out of the room.

As a result, just as he walked out, he saw Zhong Maodian falling from the stairs.

He was so frightened that he rushed back into the room.

Captain Kiyotaro Inoki, who was still holding on to the city wall, had been waiting for the puppet army squad to come up.

He cursed angrily, "Baga! These puppet soldiers, their consciences are very bad.

Hold on here for a while!

I'll go and call those puppet soldiers up."

Several hundred Nationalist soldiers were charging outside the city, today was different from the past.

In this situation, they definitely wouldn't be able to hold the north gate with just these ten or so Japanese devils.

Captain Kiyotaro Inoki needed manpower. After giving orders to his soldiers,

he quickly rushed down the city and shouted outside the room where the puppet soldiers were resting, "Assemble! Assemble!"

The captain of the Japanese devils personally came to assemble them.

Those puppet soldiers who were still hiding in the room, fantasizing that they wouldn't have to go to the battlefield, had no choice but to speed up and rush out of the room.

Squad Leader Masuhiro, although he was already pale with fright, still insisted on rushing to the front:

"Captain!"

"You! Immediately lead the team to the city wall!" Captain Kiyotaro Inoki immediately ordered.

He pointed his pistol at the puppet soldiers, "Anyone who dares to disobey will be executed on the spot!"

Although the captain of the Japanese devils had never killed a puppet soldier, he had personally killed many ordinary people in Langxi.

Whether it was Squad Leader Tsuneo Masuhiro or the soldiers in his squad, such as Kokkenmei, Yu Wenyao, and Ko Koushi,

they were all frightened.

"Brothers! Charge!" Masuhiro had originally been standing in front of the team to report to the captain.

Now he also drew his pistol and stood in place!

He shouted at the puppet soldiers under his command.

Captain Kiyotaro Inoki pointed his gun at Squad Leader Tsuneo Masuhiro, "You! Lead the way!"

Squad Leader Tsuneo Masuhiro's little plan didn't work out.

Originally, he wanted his puppet soldiers to charge in the front.

The soldiers charging in the front were always more likely to be hit by bullets.

Therefore, he wanted to charge in the back, but the captain of the Japanese devils was pointing a gun at him, so he had to charge faster.

He rushed to the front of the team.

Squad Leader Tsuneo Masuhiro rushed to the front, and the puppet soldiers in his squad had no choice but to follow.

When these fifty or so puppet soldiers rushed to the city wall,

Xiao Dongbei, leading the soldiers of the fourth platoon, had already rushed to within a hundred meters of the city wall.

The five heavy machine guns had stopped at this time and were constantly strafing the city wall.

Mortars and infantry guns continued to fire.

Kaminan, holding a light machine gun, had only fired a few bullets when he was blocked by at least two heavy machine guns below.

He couldn't even poke his head out to see if he had hit the target.

Kaminan couldn't care about so much at this time.

Anyway, he just needed to make sure that the light machine gun was firing.

As for where the bullets went, he couldn't care less at this time.

The strafing from the machine guns below was too dense.

Even Kenji Tsuyama, Yohei Ishine, and Hyuga Kundo, the rifle shooters, couldn't shoot at the soldiers attacking outside the city.

Under these circumstances, Masuhiro led the team up.

Just as he led the team up the city wall, before he had rushed behind the crenellations,

there was a whistling sound of shells falling from the top.

Then Masuhiro saw Kanko and Kokkenmei, who were following behind him, being lifted up by the blast of the shells.

They went back to where they started, under the city.

Their life or death was unknown!

Among the puppet soldiers who hadn't rushed to the city wall, some were scared.

Gyogenkun was one of these scared puppet soldiers.

He immediately threw away his rifle and turned around to run. There were four puppet soldiers who threw away their guns and turned around to run like him.

Captain Kiyotaro Inoki, who was supervising the battle behind this group of puppet soldiers, didn't give any warning.

He raised his hand and shot, hitting two of them.

Gyogenkun was lucky enough not to be hit. He watched Yu Bunko and Ko Koshi being hit by the captain of the Japanese devils and rolling down.

He and Chion, frightened, turned around, wanting to pick up their weapons and continue charging toward the city wall.

He understood now: continuing to run would mean immediate death.

Charging toward the city wall would at least allow him to live a little longer.

Gyogenkun underestimated the malice of Captain Kiyotaro Inoki toward them.

After Captain Kiyotaro Inoki finished shooting all the bullets in his gun, he strode toward the city wall.

He put his pistol back in its holster, drew his command knife, and chased after Gyogenkun. With just one slash, he cut open the puppet soldier who hadn't found his gun yet from behind.

Then he swung his knife at Chi On, who was already frightened.

This slash directly cut off Chi On's head.

At this time, Captain Kiyotaro Inoki shouted, "Anyone who dares to retreat will end up like this!

Anyone who charges last will end up like this!"

After saying that, he strode toward the city wall.

Those puppet soldiers who had just been thinking carefully, thinking that the back was a safe position,

thinking that they wouldn't be hit by bullets from outside the city,

now saw that the last four brothers had fallen in a pool of blood.

The captain of the Japanese devils was still carrying a dripping command knife, chasing after them.

Kisho, who was running at the back, screamed in fright and quickened his pace to squeeze forward.

None of these puppet soldiers who had just charged wanted to be in the front.

Now they were all rushing to be first, and as a result, the back suddenly became crowded.

They squeezed together, and Sho couldn't squeeze to the front no matter what.

He was so frightened that he even peed his pants.

Even so, he still tried his best to squeeze forward.

Fortunately, Captain Kiyotaro Inoki, although he had caught up with him, didn't swing his butcher knife at him this time.

Even so, the soldiers of the entire puppet army squad were so frightened that they didn't dare to be negligent at all.

However, although they rushed up the city wall quickly, the attacking Nationalist shells didn't fall any slower.

The city wall, which had been empty, didn't have many people on it.

Those shells had only bombed emptiness, but now it had become lively.

The squad led by Masuhiro, which had rushed to the city wall, had suffered more than a dozen casualties in just one wave of shelling.

The wounded puppet soldiers were groaning on the ground, and some puppet soldiers were trying to run over to rescue the wounded.

Captain Kiyotaro Inoki's gun rang out, "Attack the enemy first!"

Then he said to those puppet soldiers who were still groaning, "Your wails are affecting morale.

If you wail so loudly again, I'll relieve you."

After he said this, the puppet soldiers, who had been wailing louder than the other just now, immediately stopped.

Yu Koshi's foot was blown off by a shell. He endured for less than a minute before he couldn't stand the pain anymore.

He started groaning again.

Captain Kiyotaro Inoki strode over and, without any warning, plunged his command knife into Yu Koshi's chest.

Captain Kiyotaro Inoki really kept his word and relieved Yu Koshi, who was still groaning.

This scene was seen by many of the puppet soldiers.

Now these puppet soldiers were even more afraid.

They could only recklessly fire at the outside of the city.

They were, after all, old hands who had been through battles.

Although they had nowhere to escape when the shells fell, the machine gun bullets fired from the opposite side always couldn't penetrate the city wall.

So they hid behind the crenellations, raised their rifles high, and fired at the outside of the city.

At this time, Xiao Dongbei and Song Jin were leading the first squad to the bottom of the city wall.

Ten siege ladders were set up.

Xiao Dongbei was the first to step onto the bamboo ladder, and Wang Yunsheng reached out and pulled him back:

"Platoon leader! You stay behind!"

Wang Yunsheng didn't pull Xiao Dongbei. Xiao Dongbei turned his head, "The officers of the Special Operations Company have to charge in the front.

This isn't just something to say to fool people, it has to be done."

While they were talking, Song Jin had already climbed halfway up.

Xiao Dongbei quickly sped up and charged upward.

The puppet soldiers and Japanese devils on the city wall were reduced again under the shelling.

Song Jin was the first to show his head on the city wall. Kenji Tsuyama was burying his head in shooting at the outside of the city.

A head popped out less than two meters away.

He quickly stood up and rushed toward the person who had popped out.

Kenji Tsuyama thrust his rifle at Song Jin, who was still on the bamboo ladder.

Song Jin had no choice but to hold his gun with both hands to parry. His feet were tightly wrapped around the bamboo ladder.

He held the rifle in his hands to block the shot that the Japanese devil had thrust at him.

Kenji Tsuyama's shot was so powerful that, although Song Jin blocked it,

the force of the shot was transferred to the bamboo ladder through his feet, and the bamboo ladder was immediately pushed backward.

If this continued, the bamboo ladder would be pushed over all at once.

Song Jin leaned to one side, firing a shot with his right hand.

The force that Kenji Tsuyama had put into this full-force thrust was suddenly released.

Kenji Tsuyama could no longer stabilize his center of gravity and staggered toward Song Jin.

Song Jin gently pushed the rifle in his hand forward, coordinating with Kenji Tsuyama's own momentum.

In Kenji Tsuyama's horrified gaze, Song Jin's bayonet pierced into his chest.

Song Jin gently twisted the butt of the gun with his left hand.

All of Kenji Tsuyama's strength seemed to disappear all at once.

At this time, Song Jin patted the crenellation with his left hand and leaped onto the city wall with the strength of his feet.

Wu Fude, who was following behind him, also learned from him and jumped in.

The two stood back to back, protecting each other.

Seeing that Nationalist soldiers had rushed onto the city wall, those puppet soldiers who had been scared to death by Captain Kiyotaro Inoki

immediately rushed up.

Now that their own people had reached the city wall, the distant mortars and infantry guns had all stopped.

Even the heavy machine guns in the vicinity had stopped, and they were quickly being pushed toward the city wall.

Yu Koshi, who had just been scared to death, now saw Song Jin, who had rushed onto the city wall.

He had to carry his rifle and rush up.

As he charged, he shouted loudly, but no one knew what he was saying.

The bayonet on the rifle was thrust menacingly toward Song Jin.

Song Jin made a ready-to-stab movement with the bayonet in his hand, and his body leaned slightly to one side, so that the area of his body facing the enemy was much smaller.

The gun was diagonally aimed at the enemy's throat, and the butt of the gun was at his waist.

When Yu Koshi charged over, the bayonet in his hand was aimed directly at Song Jin's chest.

Song Jin easily deflected it with his gun, causing Yu Koshi's bayonet to slide to the right.

Song Jin put his right hand forward, gently pressing the rifle down, and pushed it forward with his left hand.

The bayonet was steady, accurate, and ruthless!

It pierced into Yu Koshi's chest all at once.

This time, Yu Koshi finally didn't have to be afraid anymore.

Captain Kiyotaro Inoki was standing at the staircase, watching the Japanese devils from his squadron headquarters who were running quickly from the city.

Also, Battalion Commander Wang Zhiping, with a hundred puppet soldiers, was rushing toward here.

Captain Kiyotaro Inoki was overjoyed and ordered loudly, "Speed up!"

These reinforcements were less than two hundred meters away from the city wall.

The battle on the city wall had entered a fever pitch.

The homemade armored vehicle that had rushed to the bottom of the city wall was being pulled up the city wall by eight soldiers from the fourth platoon with ropes.

Liao Yushu, leading the soldiers of the second squad, had also rushed to the city wall.

Ni Haishan watched as the platoon leader and two veterans, who had reached the city wall before them, formed a combat team.

They rushed toward three Japanese devils.

Tahei Ishiba, Hyuga Kundo, and Taro Taen watched as more and more Nationalist soldiers rushed to the city wall.

They immediately formed a bayonet team.

This team, which was made up entirely of Japanese devils, immediately encountered Xiao Dongbei's team.

Xiao Dongbei took a step forward with his left foot and shouted loudly, "Kill!"

The bayonet in his hand thrust toward the nearest Japanese devil.

Tahei Ishiba quickly parried, thrusting the rifle in his hand forward.
