    Mengcheng. East Gate.

    The battle was in full swing. As the Japanese troops destroyed several city walls one after another, the Japanese soldiers who arrived rushed in through the gaps in the city wall, causing huge pressure on the defenders.

    As the main position of Mengcheng, the east gate direction has the largest number of Japanese troops, and the pressure on the defenders here is also the greatest. Even Ling Shangyun, the leader of the 1033 regiment, has to personally take charge of the east gate position.

    There was a cloud of smoke on the top of the city. There was dust thrown up when the city wall collapsed, and there was also thick smoke caused by the Japanese artillery fire and bullets that ignited the vegetation. The visibility of the entire east gate dropped rapidly, which not only affected the attacking Japs.  , also affected the defending 1033 regiment.

    When the little devils at the top of the city saw this situation, they immediately shouted chants and rushed in from outside the city. They were densely packed and crowded.

    The Japanese troops who swarmed into the city were confused after entering the city, because they could not see anything in the city, and the terrain was unfamiliar, so they were scurrying around like headless flies for a while.

    This scene was seen by Captain Ling, who was supervising the operations from the east gate. He did not hesitate and immediately picked up the heavy machine gun next to him and shot at the Japanese soldiers.

    And the soldiers around him did not neglect, and immediately picked up their weapons and equipment to fight back!

    "Da da da"

    The dense bullets were fired into the small space, immediately knocking these little devils off their feet. The little devils fell directly to a large area.

    The defenders were unreasonable and fired bullets as if they were free. In less than five minutes, the Japanese soldiers who rushed into the city were killed and injured countless times. In the end, only a Japanese soldier covered in mud who rushed at the end was killed.  The captain managed to escape with his life.

    Seeing the embarrassment of these Japanese troops, Captain Ling and his subordinates could not help but smile after they put aside the stress and fatigue of the past few days.

    Although the pressure on the defenders was not small at this time, neither Ling Shangyun nor Zhou Yuan and others who were supervising the battle behind were afraid, because Meng City was so big. In addition to setting up many defense fortifications outside the city, there were also many defenses in the city.  Two simple lines of defense were deployed, and it was not easy for the little devils to eliminate them.

    And once the Japanese army invaded Mengcheng, their artillery would lose its effect, and planes would no longer be able to bomb the defenders, which would instead be beneficial to defense.

    However, in view of the heavy losses suffered by the Japanese army in the east gate direction, Zhou Yuan and others agreed that the Japs had to change the direction of their attack.

    Zhou Yuan then quickly adjusted his tactics and issued an order to all the officers in the city to defend the city. He asked the officers to quickly divide their work, guard several city gates, and organize death squads to attack Japanese tanks and tanks.

    In order to ensure that Mengcheng was not lost, Zhou Yuan asked the regiment commander and battalion commander to go to the front line to command and persist until the end. In short, they must persist until the brother troops came to relieve the siege no matter what.

    Zhou Yuan is relatively relieved about the officers and soldiers under his command. They are all wolf soldiers from Guangxi. They are not in the habit of running away to save their lives. The only thing that worries him is that there is not much ammunition.

    The few artillery shells have long been used up, and there are not many bullets and grenades anymore. The most important thing is machine gun shells. Now the most important weapon for defending the city is the machine gun. Once the machine gun shells are used up, then those light and heavy machine guns will become decorations.  .  It would be difficult to suppress the little Japs with the rifles in the hands of the soldiers alone.

    However, at this point, Zhou Yuan had no idea. He couldn't change the bullets, so he could only tell the soldiers to save ammunition!

    Although the Army Headquarters has already responded, saying that reinforcements from the 61st Army are already on the way, they must persist until the end!

    But Zhou Yuan himself knows that the 61st Army is in Huainan, which is hundreds of kilometers away from Mengcheng. Even if they don't eat or drink, it will take a day and a night to reach Mengcheng. By then, they will probably be finished.  When the army comes, they may only be able to collect the bodies in time.

    Therefore, after issuing the order, Zhou Yuan immediately ordered the logistics unit to destroy all telegraph code books, officer and soldier rosters, combat drawings, combat diaries, etc. as soon as possible. At the same time, he also agreed to breakout signals to the various regiment and battalion commanders in the city, and as a last resort,  Break out immediately.

    Zhou Yuan has no regrets that the war has reached this point. They have tried their best. Even if they really die in this small county town, they have no regrets.

    What worries him most is the wounded soldiers in the city. Since the beginning of the war, the 1033rd Regiment and subsequent reinforcements have had hundreds of sick and wounded soldiers. Since they could not be sent to the rear in time, all these wounded soldiers are now concentrated in the south.  The school in Gate Street.

    In the absence of medicines, the wounded can only endure the pain and wait silently. Now, once the city is broken, these wounded soldiers will be the first to bear the brunt.

    Zhou Yuan tried to transport these wounded soldiers out of the city, but there were Japanese soldiers everywhere, and the city's defenders themselves did not have many available soldiers, so the plan to transport the wounded out of the city had no choice but to fail.

    The battle outside the city was fierce, but after giving the order, Zhou Yuan knew that this battle was left to fate. His role as deputy commander was no longer much. Then Zhou Yuan led a few guards to Nanmen Street.  Visited the wounded.

    Zhou Yuan¡¯s meaning is very simple. Even if he has to die if he breaks through, he must make it clear to these injured brothers.

    ¡°However, when he came to Nanmen Street and saw these soldiers who had been wounded in the fight against Japan, for the country and the nation, and saw them all enduring the pain of their wounds, he really didn¡¯t know what it was like.

    As their division commander, he, Zhou Yuan, had no other choice but to comfort them. He had no medicines or doctors, and he couldn't even guarantee whether the little Japs would break through the defenders' defenses and get here at the next moment.

    At this moment, Zhou Yuan could only secretly decide to live or die with this city, for no other reason than for these injured people who could not move!

    Then again, the Japanese troops outside the city were almost going crazy at this time. A small Mengcheng and more than 2,000 defenders blocked their seven to eight thousand troops for more than two days, which made the second  The entire Ninth Division felt humiliated.

    After the failure of the east gate attack, the Japanese army started a new round of attack at around 10 o'clock in the morning. In view of the relatively strong defensive force of the defenders at the east gate, the Japanese army frantically carried out artillery shelling and aircraft bombing in the direction of the east gate.

    After half an hour of shelling and bombing, the entire county was filled with smoke and dust, and many buildings in the city were on fire!

    After a brief respite, a large number of Japanese infantry rushed to Mengcheng under the cover of chariots and tanks. In addition to the north gate, there were Japanese attacking troops in the southeast and west directions. Where there were city gates, they attacked from the city gate.  Enter, attack from the gaps in the city wall where there are no city gates.

    The little devils spent a lot of money this time. They fired artillery and fired smoke bombs to cover the infantry charge. Even in the face of the dense barrage of the defenders, they did not retreat at all, as if they were crazy.

    The Japanese soldiers on the front line had nothing to do. They received orders to die!

    The newly appointed division commander Higuchi Kiichiro was in a very bad mood at this time. In his mind, the Ninth Division was still the first-class division that was one to ten. Even if it had fewer troops, it would not be able to defeat even a small army.  Even the county seat cannot be taken.

    What's more, there are only more than 2,000 Chinese defenders in this small county. Even if they fight for so many days, they will be enough to wear out the opponent. You know that their 9th Division has suffered casualties of 2,000 troops in the past two days. Why do they still take them?  No better than the small county town in front of you.

    Out of anger, Lieutenant General Higuchi Kiichiro immediately gave the orders to the Japanese soldiers on the front line to charge to the death!

    This fatal charge means long live charge, that is, the charge cannot be stopped until the defenders in front of them are killed and the enemy is not completely captured.

    Isn¡¯t this kind of attack just crazy? It is conceivable that if the defenders have sufficient ammunition and sufficient automatic firepower, the casualties of the Japs will be unimaginable.

    Of course, the little devils also have support for charging like this. Their support is those chariots and tanks. After receiving the supplementary troops, the Ninth Division also received a large number of weapons and equipment, including 12 294-type light tanks.  and 10 Type 95 vehicles.

    Although these tanks do not have strong protective capabilities, they are still very effective against the Chinese army that does not have anti-tank artillery.

    In order to defeat the Chinese defenders in front of them in one fell swoop, Higuchi Kiichiro didn't care and directly sent all the more than 20 Japanese tanks up.  (Remember the website address: www.hlnovel.com
