The county town of Jinzhong was very large, and the Japanese army smashed a thousand poisonous gas bombs into the city before stopping.

After the shelling was over, the entire county was covered with strong poisonous smoke, and he could not see his five fingers.

Ten minutes after the shelling ended, the poisonous smoke that enveloped the city began to dissipate. Teams of Japanese devils with gas masks rushed out of the position, held guns, and assaulted the city in a magnificent manner, with very fast speed.

At this time, all the Japanese and puppet troops felt that the national rescue army in the city had become burping. All they needed to do was to clean the battlefield, eliminate the fish that had missed the net, and then completely take down the Jinzhong County. So they were confident in launching this attack, and everyone was full of confidence.

In addition, the Japanese soldiers wore gas masks, which more or less affected their vision and could not concentrate as much as they did in their usual offensive...

This series of reasons leads to their very poor vigilance.

In less than five minutes, more than 2,000 Japanese soldiers involved in the attack went deep into the county town at least 300 meters.

At this time, except for the offensive troops in the west of the city, there were ruins destroyed by artillery shells, the other three attacking troops were surrounded by complex yards and streets.

Instead of searching for these yards directly, the Japanese army rushed forward and headed straight to the command of the National Salvation Army.

Their fighting style is very simple: first attack Huanglong, take down the command of the National Salvation Army, and make the remaining National Salvation Army lose command and have no leader in the city. Then, cooperate with the siege troops to attack inside and outside, and wipe out the remaining Japanese and puppet troops in the city.

Ten minutes after the attack began, the Japanese offensive troops had already penetrated five or six hundred meters deep in the city. The fastest attacking attacking west of the city was less than five hundred meters away from the center of the city, and victory was in sight.

The Japanese squadron leader who participated in the attack was very excited. He seemed to be waving to him after seeing victory. He waved his command knife and shouted: "Kill me!"

"The National Salvation Army Command is right in front. If we take down their command, we will win!"

"Kill me!" The Japanese next to him was like he was injected with chicken blood, and he screamed and rushed forward regardless of the surrounding situation.

Just now, everyone rushed forward for five or six hundred meters without any attack, which caused all the Japanese to feel that there were no enemies in the city, so they were particularly unscrupulous when attacking and without any warning.

"Dongdongdongdongdong...dadada..." The dull sound of light and heavy machine guns suddenly broke the tranquility of the battlefield and sounded directly in front of the Japanese and flanks.

There was a row of sandbag bunkers on the street more than 30 meters away in front of me, and two heavy machine guns were mounted behind the sandbags on the left and right, and they rushed to the Japanese to hold fire.

Because he wore a gas mask, the Japanese reacted much slower than usual in the battle. After the three rows of soldiers in the front were killed by heavy machine guns, the remaining Japanese reacted from the raid.

But it was not only two heavy machine guns that raided them together.

Among the ruins on the flank more than 30 meters, four crooked slugs, four submachine guns, and more than 30 rifles were shooting at the Japanese army behind the attacking troops.

The bullets they fired were much denser than two heavy machine guns, and the flying bullets enveloped dozens of Japanese soldiers like they didn't have money.

In the blink of an eye, dozens of Japanese soldiers gathered together were killed just like they took off their clothes.

The living Japanese immediately lay down and lay on the ground to avoid the rain of bullets flying above their heads.

But the goddess of luck did not patronize them.

Before I could have time to be glad, more than 30 grenades emitting white smoke had fallen from the sky...

"Boom..." Explosions sounded one after another around the Japanese.

A lot of poisonous smoke that had already shrouded the Japanese had dissipated. After dozens of grenades exploded one after another, the black smoke and gun smoke that had risen into the air once again filled the battlefield, covering the Japanese again.

"Bageya Road, we were ambushed. Everyone retreated immediately and leave here quickly!" The Japanese squadron leader was very lucky that he was not beaten to death, so he looked up and was anxious to order.

The explosion in his ear stopped and he got up from the ground, retreating behind him in a panic, just like a stray dog, running fast!

After the ambush, more than half of more than one hundred Japanese soldiers lost, and only more than sixty people were led by the squadron leader to exit the bag formation.

Looking at the ambush battlefield with corpses everywhere behind him, the squadron leader couldn't help but shivered.

I was afraid that the National Salvation Army, who had just ambushed him, would attack him in turn, and would not dare to stay for a second, so I led the troops to continue to retreat.

"Da da da da...b...b...b..."

A string of machine guns suddenly sounded the way they must pass, and five Japanese soldiers ran at the front of the team fell to the ground.

The remaining Japanese quickly lay down and looked at the squadron leader together, waiting for him to make an idea.

The squadron leader was already scared.

The opponent did not reveal too much troops. On the front battlefield, he was 100% sure to defeat his opponent.

But here is street fighting, the enemy is in the dark, and you are in the bright spot. It is easy to avoid hidden arrows and can't defend against swords. Even if you have the advantage of military strength, you may not be an opponent.

And before he launched his attack, his opponent had just received a round of poison gas bombs.

Under normal circumstances, the national rescue army in the city should have been turned into corpses, but this is not the case.

Not only was the opponent not poisoned by the poisonous gas bomb, he could also gather heavy troops to ambush himself, killing half of his infantry squadron with his attack. This was a bit too mysterious and scared the squadron leader to his heart.

Before he figured out how the National Salvation Army avoided the attack of poisonous gas bombs, the squadron leader would not dare to continue staying in the ruins no matter how bold he was.

On the way to retreat, he was once again attacked by the National Salvation Army, proving that there were a large number of National Salvation Army hidden in the ruins around him, further aggravating the squadron leader's determination to evacuate here.

Seeing another subordinate in front of him being beaten to death, the squadron was in a hurry and was very anxious to order.

"Don't stop, continue to retreat back and return to the offensive position!"

"There are too many national rescue troops hidden in the ruins, and the poison gas attack just now seems to have no effect."

"We are just a bunch of infantry, without artillery and chariots. If we continue to stay in the ruins, we will definitely be hunted by the National Savior Army!"

"Baob..." As soon as his subordinates got up from the ground with the squadron leader's scolding, a few gunshots rang out among the piles of ruins on the other side of them.

The squadron leader turned his head and saw several national-savior troops wearing gas masks evacuate quickly from the ruins, and disappeared behind a broken wall in the blink of an eye.

The nervous expression on his face immediately turned into despair, and he shouted in dismay: "Bageyalu, we are fooled!"

"The National Salvation Army in the city is equipped with gas masks, and the poison gas attack just now has no effect."

"Now we are a fat sheep that has penetrated into the stomach of the National Saving Army. They can eat whatever they want. If you want to save your life, you must immediately evacuate this ruin and escape from their stomachs, otherwise we will all die here!"

"Everyone got up and continued to retreat. The faster the better. Don't worry about the national rescue troops lurking around us, and use the fastest speed to rush out of this ruin!"

The squadron leader fled while giving orders, and his speed was fast.

"Da da da da...da da da...da da...da da..."

The squadron leader brought his subordinates back to the offensive position five minutes later. During the process, the gunfire and explosion in his ears were almost uninterrupted.

He himself was very fortunate that no matter how dense the bullets shot around him were, he was lucky to avoid them.

But his subordinates were not so lucky, and in the end there were less than twenty subordinates who escaped from the ruins with him.

At this time, the city of Jinzhong had already become a pot of porridge, and there were dense sounds of fire fighting everywhere.

The worst thing is the east, south and north of the city.

The street fighting battlefield arranged by the National Salvation Army was not destroyed at all. The three street fighting troops waited for the Japanese army to enter the city eight or nine hundred meters before launching an attack, forcing them to retreat.

Because they went into the county town too deep, it was too late to retreat, and all the troops attacking in the three directions were eliminated in the county town.

At the top of the city west, when gunfire sounds came from inside the city, Major General Aso realized something was wrong.

During the attack of the poisonous gas bomb just now, the entire county town was covered with poisonous gas.

Under normal circumstances, there should be no living national rescue army in the city. Even if there are some fish that miss the net, they are easily destroyed by the attacking troops, and it is impossible to launch such powerful counterattack firepower.

But Major General Aso did not react immediately.

As a qualified commander, no matter what decision he makes, he must have facts as a basis for it, and cannot rely solely on his own guesses. He must see more evidence before he can decide whether the attack just now should continue.

In less than five minutes, there were also dense exchanges of fire from the other three directions in the city.

The three troops that launched an attack in the west of the city seemed to have been severely injured by the sound of the fire just now and are retreating in a panic.

The ruins they passed safely just now became lively.

A large number of soldiers of the National Savior Army were like they came out of the ground, launching continuous attacks on the retreating troops...

Major General Aso didn't know why there were so many national rescue troops in the city, nor did he know how the national rescue troops avoided the poisonous gas attack just now.

But one thing is certain: if a large number of national rescue troops survived in the city, the offensive troops that had just entered the city would definitely be very dangerous.

In the previous street fighting, the attacking troops in the west of the city were unable to defeat the National Salvation Army under the cover of heavy artillery and combat vehicles. Now they only have a group of infantry and do not have any heavy weapons to provide fire cover, making it even more impossible to defeat the National Salvation Army in street fighting.

Thinking that the troops that launched the attack just now were all the Imperial Army. If they had an accident, the overall strength of the siege troops would definitely be severely damaged. I was very anxious to order: "Send a retreat signal immediately to inform all the offensive troops entering the city to withdraw immediately, and the speed was faster!"

"Smack it..."

Three dazzling red signal flares quickly took off and exploded. Major General Aso's heart also hung up at this moment. While staring at the battlefield in the west of the city, he prayed that the attacking troops in the other three directions could successfully withdraw from the county town.

The attacking troops in the west of the city were the first to withdraw from the battle. Major General Aso witnessed an infantry squadron fighting to the end, less than twenty remaining soldiers were left. Then he saw a squadron leader running towards him, reporting with a look of panic.

"Report to General, we were deceived by the National Salvation Army. The National Salvation Army in the city was equipped with a large number of gas masks. All the National Salvation Army who attacked us just now wore gas masks."

"They were very cunning. They first held their troops and waited until we were completely deep into their occupied areas and then suddenly launched a counterattack, and then sneaked into us on our retreat!"

"There are less than half a squadron left in an infantry squadron led by Bei Zhi. All the remaining warriors were killed in battle. General, you must avenge us!"

Major General Aso finally understood, and his face was instantly red with anger.

He clenched his fist and slammed hard on the wall next to him, his fingers were smashed, but he had no reaction.

The red eyes continued to stare at the battlefield, gritted their teeth, and let the blood flowing out of the wound drip on the ground.

Colonel Hamano became nervous in an instant and quickly ordered: "Why are you still standing there? I immediately asked the health officer to bandage the general's wound."

"Contact the attacking troops in the city and let them withdraw from the battle immediately and evacuate the county town. You can't stay for a minute!"

As soon as the wound on Major General Aso's hand was treated, the sound of firefighting in the city began to weaken.

"Contact the other three walls immediately and find out the losses of the offensive troops immediately!" The anxious Major General Aso ordered with a calm face.
To be continued...
