The blood of the Anti-Japanese War stained the mountains and rivers

"Order the Matsui Infantry Squad, the Yoshino Infantry Squad, the Yongshan Infantry Squad, and the Tagawa Artillery Squad to rush to the east gate immediately and open a breakthrough at the east gate."

Soon, a part of the mighty devil's reserve force turned around and headed straight for the east gate, preparing to attack from the east gate to threaten the defender's flank.

The Yamaguchi Infantry Brigade is a strong force of the Kwantung Army. It is not comparable to the security forces composed of supplementary soldiers. Their style is even stronger.

The deputy captain Zhang Liechen personally commanded the troops to launch an attack on the rebels at the East Gate, trying to recapture the East Gate and stabilize the line of defense.

"Come on!"

The brothers kept rushing forward on the street full of bullets, although Xie Zhengxiang howled again and again, but after all, the three brothers were all kidnapped, and many people were actually unwilling to shoot at the former robes .

In just half an hour, several of Xie Zhengxiang's barricade positions were broken through, leaving only the last position leaning on the city wall.

"Who dares to retreat again, I will kill him!"

Xie Zhengxiang was also bloodstained all over his face. Facing the officers and soldiers who were retreating again and again, he directly shot and killed several people, and finally stabilized his position.

"Attack, don't stop!"

The vice captain Zhang Liechen knew that the longer the time dragged on, the more unfavorable the situation would be for them. Although the casualties were a bit heavy, he still gritted his teeth and demanded a continuous attack.

"Brothers of the guard company, rush with me!"

Soon, the brothers who were panting heavily rushed towards the rebel position at the east gate again, trying to crush the place in one fell swoop.

"Boom!"

But when they had just rushed out for more than 100 meters, shells hit their heads and faces. The shells exploded on the street, and the scorching air waves swept across. Many brothers were directly blown away, and their flesh and blood splattered.

"Devil, the devil is coming!"

The brothers of the guard company hurriedly dodged behind the obstacles everywhere. Through the rising smoke, they saw a large number of little devils with bayonets pouring in continuously. The shells just now were fired by the devils.

The attack was blocked, and the vice captain Zhang Liechen was also taken aback. He hurriedly grabbed the binoculars and looked around. When he saw the devil's steel helmets moving forward, his expression darkened immediately, knowing that the situation was not good.

"Sir, there are little devils on the flank!"

At this moment, an observation post on the roof pointed at the side alleyway and shouted at Zhang Liechen in panic.

"Withdraw, withdraw!"

The devils had already appeared at the east gate, and if they continued to fight, they would only suffer losses. Zhang Liechen, the deputy captain, immediately gave the order to retreat.

The brothers who were covered in blood mist and smoke were about to take back the East Gate. Now that the devil suddenly appeared, they were very unwilling.

But in the face of the powerful little devil, they did not dare to be careless, and retreated alternately to cover.

"Hahahaha, brothers, the imperial army is here to support us, kill!"

Now that Xie Zhengxiang saw the devil coming, he laughed wildly as if he had come back from a desperate situation.

The situation on the battlefield reversed in an instant, and the momentum of both sides also ebbed and flowed. The rebels and devils launched a pursuit operation along the streets against the retreating guerrilla officers and soldiers, and soon occupied several streets.

"Report, the devils have already entered the city through the east gate. Chief Zhang is leading people to fight and retreat. Chief Zhang asked the commander-in-chief to organize a retreat immediately. Huaiyin can't hold it anymore."

Soon, the news reached Zongzhi, causing Zongzhi to fall into a panic.

"What is Zhang Liechen doing to eat? So many people can't snatch the East Gate back!"

Instead of taking back the east gate, the devils broke into the city instead, and Yuan Guangtao, the deputy captain, was so angry that he dropped his cup.

"Officer Yuan, organize a retreat before the North Gate is blocked by large-scale devils." The combat staff officer Lei Xiong recovered from his panic and hurriedly suggested.

-------------Chapter Dividing Line---------------

"Evacuate, evacuate immediately."

The situation in Huaiyin City took a turn for the worse, the devils had already entered the city, and seeing that they could no longer hold on, the deputy captain Yuan Guangtao also panicked and hurriedly yelled for them to retreat.

At this moment, devils have appeared in three directions, east, west, south, and if they don't leave, when the devils block the north of the city, they will really become a turtle in an urn, and none of them will survive.

Yuan Guangtao, the deputy captain, was full of unwillingness. If he could defend Huaiyin and repel the devils, then he would be able to add to his credit book.

It's a pity that the plan is not as good as changing. Xie Zhengxiang, the commander of the fourth battalion who was killed by God, coerced the people of the three companies to defect to the enemy at this juncture, and they fell into a passive state immediately.

Now the deputy captain, Yuan Guangtao, has forgotten all about credit and promotion, and survival is the most important thing at this moment.

When the order to retreat was issued, the staff officers of the General Command got busy with panicked expressions, packing all kinds of things into boxes and preparing to take them away.

"What time is it? Throw away all the useless things. It's important to retreat quickly."

Seeing that everyone packed up a lot of things, Yuan Guangtao, the deputy captain, cursed angrily.

"Sir, what about the people in the city?" A staff officer stepped forward and asked.

Yuan Guangtao, the deputy captain, said, "I can't control that much now, let's get out first."

Now Yuan Guangtao is also regretful in his heart, if he had listened to Zhang Liechen's words and prepared to evacuate in advance, he would not have evacuated in such a hurry.

When Zongzhi was preparing to withdraw from Huaiyin in a panic, some staff officers also called the troops fighting the devils to convey the order to retreat.

"Jingle Bell......"

Amidst the trembling cannons, the phone of the Fifth Battalion headquarters rang rapidly.

"Hi, I'm the Fifth Battalion." The communications soldier who had been guarding the phone hastily grabbed the phone.

"I'm the general manager. The devils have already entered from the east gate. Commander Yuan ordered you to retreat from the north of the city immediately." The voice of the general director's staff officer came from the phone.

"Yes!"

After the communication soldier put down the phone, he rushed out of the battalion headquarters, plunged into the thick gunpowder smoke, and went straight to the fifth battalion commander Liu Zhi who was commanding the battle at the front.

More than 200 devil soldiers are launching a fierce attack on the defenders of the west gate. The positions outside the city have been lost. At this moment, the troops are relying on the houses, window edges, steps and pillars along the street to resist the little devils.

"Da da da......"

The streets have been shrouded in smoke from explosions, roaring and raging bullets rampage on the streets, shocking explosions come and go, and the battle has reached a fever pitch.

Although there were only about [-] little devils attacking, they were all powerful Kwantung Army troops, well-equipped and strong in combat effectiveness. They beat the Fifth Battalion to the point where they couldn't hold their heads up, and the casualties continued to rise.

"Hold it! Hold it!"

"Go to a row and take back the commanding height of the wooden building on the street corner!"

Fifth Battalion Commander Liu Zhi was covered in blood and covered in gunpowder smoke, his rough face was black with smoke, and he was braving the rain of bullets trying to push the devil out.

It's a pity that the firepower of the little devils is too strong. Several devils' machine gun teams seized the commanding heights and built a firepower support. The fifth battalion's counterattacks were beaten back several times, and the devils from behind kept coming. Extraordinarily strenuous.
