In order not to give the national rescue army a chance to break out of the encirclement, Major General Aso arranged almost all his troops on the blockade line.

On average, each infantry team and an Imperial Army company defend a three-hundred-meter-long blockade line. Almost every meter of blockade line was guarded by a soldier. A crooked stick was placed on every five-meter-long blockade line, which surrounded the national rescue army.

After the squadron leader transferred two infantry squads and two platoons of puppet troops, there were less than fifty Japanese and more than thirty puppet troops left in the blockade line that stretched for 300 meters.

If this is flat ground, this little force is enough to defend the three hundred meters long blockade line, but this is a street battle battlefield.

The three hundred-meter-long blockade line is full of ruins and ruins, with complex terrain and night cover, so the force of this little force is certainly not guaranteed that there is no loophole in the blockade line.

In order to defend the blockade line, few Japanese and puppet troops could only defend the commanding heights of the blockade line, staring at the surroundings with wide eyes to prevent the national rescue army from attacking them.

"Company Commander, the Japanese and puppet troops in front seem to be divided!" Behind a ruin forty meters away from the Japanese, the deputy company commander of the Eighth Company of the Third Battalion of the National Salvation Army was very excited to report.

"Our opportunity is here!" The company commander was so happy that he almost jumped up from his hiding point, and immediately ordered: "Second and third row of cover, and the first row approached the Japanese and puppet troops' blockade line with me, touched their noses and launched an attack, and tried to tear a hole in the blockade line with one assault!"

After saying that, the company commander came out from behind the ruins, and more than thirty soldiers followed closely behind, touching the Japanese and puppet troops like a ghost.

If you observe carefully, you will find that these soldiers approaching the Japanese and puppet army are all wearing black cloth. If they lie on the ground and remain unmoved, the Japanese and puppet army will not be able to see them even if they stand five meters away.

More than thirty soldiers had long imprinted the terrain ahead in their hearts. With their eyes closed, they knew where there were ruins, where there were ruins, and where there were holes through the walls. The night color not only failed to stop the actions of more than thirty soldiers, but instead increased their concealment.

In less than five minutes, more than thirty soldiers touched less than twenty meters away from the blockade line.

If they weren't worried about exposing their target, they could still touch ten meters forward.

"Dadada..." The company commander decisively raised the submachine gun in his hand and hugged the fire at the three Japanese standing on the ruins in front of him.

The speed of the submachine gun fire is no slower than the crooked handle. The bullets fired out are not airtight and the distance between the two sides is close. When the sound of the submachine gun fired reaches the Japanese's ears, dense bullets have already flown in front of them.

The three Japanese stood on the top of the ruins, and had nowhere to hide, and were instantly beaten into sieves.

When the company commander was shooting, four submachine guns equipped in the first company participated in the battle at the same time, and the Japanese standing on other high grounds were also smashed into ruins at this moment.

The rifleman did not fire. One of them held a grenade in his hand. When the gunshot sounded, he pulled out the security and smashed it hard on the buttstock. He stayed in his hand for three seconds and quickly threw it at the Japanese and puppet troops he had just targeted.

Faced with the raid, the Japanese and puppet troops who were not hit by submachine gun bullets were immediately lying on the ground.

The ruins and ruins everywhere provided them with a large amount of cover. As long as they lie down in time, they could avoid the oncoming bullets.

But no matter how hidden they are, their backs are always exposed to the ground.

More than 30 grenades fell from the sky, and most of them flew over the Japanese heads and exploded in fear. The flying grenades pierced into the bodies of the Japanese and puppet troops like it was raining.

With just one round of grenade attack, dozens of soldiers were killed and injured by the blockade line.

Before the surviving Japanese could have time to be glad, the second round of grenades followed one after another. In this round of attacks, there were more grenades and explosions. The grenade fragments flying everywhere in the air were denser than before, further aggravated the losses of the Japanese and puppet troops on the blockade line.

"Comrades, rush and kill the Japanese and puppet troops in front!" Before the explosion was over, the company commander's shouts of killing sounded in the night.

Taking advantage of the insularity of the Japanese and puppet troops being attacked by grenades, the company commander quickly replaced the submachine gun with a new magazine.

The moment he ordered the exit, he stood up from the hiding point, bent over, and continued to touch the blockade line.

Compared with the lurking that he was afraid of exposing his target just now, his attack is very fast now.

The rows lurking around launched attacks at the same time, and the rows behind them followed and joined the battle.

There were less than 80 Japanese and puppet troops ahead, and more than ten people were killed by five submachine guns. Sixty or seventy grenades in two rounds killed forty or fifty people. At this moment, less than twenty Japanese and puppet troops were left struggling on the blockade line.

Facing the sudden emergence of the national rescue army, the puppet army's first reaction was to kneel down and surrender, and did the same.

A dozen Japanese wanted to fight to the end. As soon as they fired the first bullet, their position was exposed. Five submachine guns and three light machine guns immediately hit back at least ten of them...

When the Eighth Company assaulted and killed the blockade line, all the few Japanese left on the battlefield were killed, and less than ten trembling puppet army prisoners were left.

"Cross the blockade line immediately. Touch the Japanese behind me and launch an attack, cooperate with the main attacking troops to defeat the Japanese and puppet troops there, and then fight with them!" The company commander ignored these prisoners and led his troops to fight toward the battlefield with the rumbling sound of artillery not far away.

At the top of the west city, Major General Aso has been guarding here to observe the battle situation.

Seeing the blockade line not far from the battlefield suddenly sounded a burst of gunfire and a grenade explosion, my heart skipped a beat and immediately realized that I had been fooled.

Immediately raise my telescope and look at the newly emerging battlefield.

The fireballs generated by the grenade explosion are very dazzling. Major General Aso is condescending and can roughly look at the battle process there.

Under the attack of a large number of grenades, a blockade line that was 100 meters long was instantly covered by fireballs and gunpowder.

The National Salvation Army can throw grenades to the blockade line, indicating that they have touched the blockade line.

First, use grenades and grenades to attack the blockade line, severely damage the troops there, and then attack again, kill the soldiers who survived the blockade line, and break through the blockade line...

Major General Aso suddenly realized the tactics and tactics of the National Salvation Army on the new battlefield.

He shouted: "Bageya Road, what are the troops on the blockade line doing? The National Salvation Army touched their noses and found them, a bunch of idiots!"

Compared with Major General Aso's anger, Colonel Hamano was much calmer and stared at the battlefield and replied: "General, we seem to have been fooled!"

"More than ten minutes ago, we drew and cracked down on the blockade line where the troops were reinforced and were bombarded, resulting in a sharp reduction in the strength of the other blockade lines. The National Salvation Army must have seen this and dispatched troops to attack the blockade line!"

"Baga, we were fooled by the National Salvation Army. This is the real attack on the east and west. Before, they divided into four groups to attack us. The attacks of these four troops seemed very fierce, but they were not their real main attacking force!"

"Let the reinforcements return to their blockade line immediately, and must block the national rescue army's breakthrough troops!"

"General, it's too late. It seems that the National Salvation Army has already emerged from the blockade line!" Colonel Hamano suddenly reported.

Perhaps because this situation is too unbelievable, Colonel Hamano couldn't help but tremble when he spoke.

Major General Aso quickly looked towards the battlefield.

Under the reflection of the orange-red fireballs, a large number of national rescue troops crossed the blockade and entered the area just occupied by their subordinates.

The brigade commander was anxious and immediately ordered: "The national rescue troops who crossed the blockade line must not be allowed to escape!"

"The return defense forces immediately chased them, and the city defense forces strengthened their vigilance and did not allow a national rescue army to break out of Jinzhong County."

"The cavalry brigade immediately approached the city wall and blocked the four city gates in squadrons. If a National Salvation Army breaks out of Jinzhong County, the cavalry brigade must destroy them for me!"

When the Japanese reinforcements received the order to return defense, the three main companies and direct troops under the Third Battalion had already divided into four groups to break through the blockade line and penetrated directly to the rear of the battlefield.

When the Japanese returned to the defense force and began to chase them, the troops left behind the Breakthrough Hall had already hidden themselves and were ready to greet them slowly with street fighting.

Major General Aso once again paid a heavy price for his wrong judgment.

"General, the national rescue army's breakthrough troops did not retreat in the direction of the city gate. They broke out of the encirclement and rushed straight to several infantry squadrons that were bombarded, and cooperated with the encirclement to attack our national rescue army to attack us from the front and back!" A messenger ran to Major General Aso to report with a breath.

Before he could react to the shock brought to him by this news, another messenger rushed towards him in a hurry: "General, the national rescue army's breakthrough troops ambush a large number of rear troops near the breakthrough entrance. They used night battles and street fighting to block the defense forces, resulting in them being unable to chase and kill the national rescue army's breakthrough troops in time!"

It was not until then that Major General Aso completely woke up, stared at the battlefield and suddenly realized his mind and shouted: "Bageyalu, we are fooled again!"

"The National Salvation Army in the encirclement has no intention of breaking through. They want to tear off a piece of fat from us before they die and hurt us severely!"

Colonel Hamano also reacted and immediately responded: "A part of the national rescue army attacked the blockade line to attract our troops, and a part of the national rescue army took advantage of the chaos to break out of the blockade line, cooperated with the powerful attacking troops to attack our blockade line, disrupt us, and then fight night and street fighting with us!"

"The National Salvation Army is more familiar with the terrain in the city than we do, and is very good at night battles."

"When fighting street battles during the day, we paid a huge price to take two-thirds of Jinzhong's area and surround the remnants of the National Rescue Army in the center of the city."

"It's night and we'll have to pay at least more than twice the price to defeat them through street fighting."

"Even if the remnants of the National Salvation Army in the city will be eliminated tonight, our troops stationed in the city will be destroyed by the National Salvation Army!"

"General, I think the best way to break the situation now is to withdraw troops, break away from contact with the National Rescue Army, and withdraw all our troops stationed in the city to the city walls, and then enter the city to fight the National Rescue Army after dawn. In this way, we can take down Jinzhong County at the minimum cost!"

Major General Aso certainly knew this truth, but they understood it too late.

Before Colonel Hamano's analysis was finished, the breakout troops of the National Salvation Army had already launched an attack on the Imperial Army on the main battlefield.

Faced with the front and back attacks of the National Salvation Army, the remaining troops on the blockade line are no match for the enemy at all, and it is not an exaggeration to describe it as a defeat in one blow.

After more and more imperial troops were defeated, the battlefield immediately turned into a pot of congee.

The defeated subordinates and the Imperial Army moved everywhere, and the National Salvation Army was closely behind them to launch attacks everywhere, giving people the feeling that wars were everywhere in the city, and no matter how hard Major General Aso tried, he could not tell the difference between the enemy and us.

Faced with the rapid deterioration in the city, all he could do was wait and not allow a living national-savior army to break out of Jinzhong County, especially Zhou Cheng.

So he issued an order to strengthen the guards to the city defense forces and the cavalry brigade.

At the front command of the National Salvation Army, Zhou Cheng was both nervous and expectant as he listened to the increasing gunfire around him.

As long as the troops fight this battle in front of them, the Japanese and puppet troops in the city will definitely be severely damaged, and the National Salvation Army can also take the opportunity to withdraw from the Jinzhong County.

"Captain, it's done!" Deputy Chief of Staff Li Honghui rushed in to report with an excited look on his face.

"With the cooperation of other troops, the Third Battalion successfully crossed the blockade of the Japanese and puppet troops, and has been strangled with the Japanese and puppet troops in the city!"

Zhou Cheng immediately smiled and breathed a sigh of relief and ordered: "It's great. As long as our troops are strangled with the Japanese and puppet troops, the terrain advantage is also in our hands. We will definitely win this battle tonight!"

"Notify the engineer company to start laying out explosives, and the combat plan remains unchanged, and we will start retreating in three hours."

"Send another telegram to the Chief of Staff to prepare for the response as planned.

In a valley nearly twenty kilometers away from Jinzhong County, Chen Zhengyu paced back and forth in the tent with his hands behind his back. A radio station was set up in the middle of the tent, and the telegrapher was guarding the side with headphones. He had been in the position of sending and receiving telegraphs for almost two hours, but the radio station had not moved at all.

"Didi...Didi..."

I don’t know how long it took, but when Chen Zhengyu was about to wait, the radio finally rang.

The telegrapher put down his headphones five minutes later and immediately handed Chen Zhengyu the translator.

"The leader is so amazing, they did it!" Chen Zhengyu shouted excitedly when he glanced at the content of the telegram.

Then he shouted loudly at the door of the tent: "Caval communication squad gathers now!"

After saying that, he walked to the side to study the map, and after reading it for a few minutes, he walked directly to the door of the tent.

The ten soldiers of the cavalry communication squad had already assembled, and they all held the horses at the door.

Chen Zhengyu did not talk nonsense, pointed at two of the correspondents and began to give orders: "You two go to the cavalry battalion base immediately, tell Battalion Commander Tao, immediately divide the cavalry into four, approach Jinzhong City, and force the Japanese and puppet troops operating outside the city to the city wall."

"If you encounter a small group of Japanese and puppet troops, don't be polite and eat it just!"

The two correspondents saluted and left the command center with their horses. Chen Zhengyu immediately looked at the two correspondents beside him: "You go to find Battalion Commander Tan of the Artillery Battalion, and ask him to concentrate all artillery at the city wall immediately. When the assault time comes, the Japanese and puppet troops mistakenly think that we are going to attack Jinzhong County, and to meet the defending troops, and force all the Japanese and puppet troops outside the city into the city!"

"You guys go and contact the Shouyang Guard and Pingding Guard. The troops immediately attacked Jinzhong County, established an offensive position 300 meters outside the city, and prepared to attack Jinzhong County, and pick up the regiment commander to evacuate Jinzhong!"

Outside Jinzhong City, after the cavalry brigade gathered at the city gate one after another, only a few hundred reconnaissance troops and intelligence personnel were still scattered outside the city.

"Boom..." The dull sound of horse hooves suddenly sounded outside Jinzhong City, and more than 200 cavalrymen in two cavalry companies rushed towards the west of the city.

Several reconnaissance troops were killed by them before they had time to retreat. A small number of reconnaissance soldiers escaped from the cavalry battalion and returned to Jinzhong County before the cavalry battalion.
