When the Japanese army heard the sound of guns and cannons, several Japanese troops immediately encircled and suppressed each other, and the coalition forces of the attacking side still had an advantage in numbers.

"Company Commander, the enemy is surrounded. If we continue to fight, we will be in danger!" During the battle, Lin Fang's 7th Company had defeated the Japanese army in front of him. Only one or twenty Japanese troops were still resisting. At this time, other Japanese troops also began to surround him.[]

"Fight out and move closer to the inner city!" Such interlaced alleys could not be completely blocked even if the number of Japanese soldiers was large, because in order to carry out street fighting, some hidden passages were dug in many places.

"Company Commander, the enemy is chasing us. It's too close. You can go first, our three squads will be blocked." The Japanese army came too fast. Although there was a passage in the house behind, even so, someone needed to resist from behind.

"Please!" Lin Fang knew that since they had been photographed such a task and received so many promises, they should have the awareness of death.

Lin Fang and nine squads of his subordinate retreated, and the remaining three squads redirected the bridge entrance to block the Japanese army, but the number of Japanese troops was too large and they were submerged in less than a few minutes.

"They escaped from here and chased..." The Japanese army entered the house that had been in chaos and saw the passage that the Iron Blood Army had not had time to cover up. It was another alley, and followed and chased after it.

The company engaged in street fighting with the Iron Blood Army. The Iron Blood Army, which was familiar with the terrain, caused considerable casualties to the Japanese and French armies in the movement, but the disparity between the two sides was too great. In just one hour, the first battalion had lost about 300 people, and Lin Fang's seventh company had only two squads and twenty people left.

"Battery Commander, it's a big deal. The Japanese army has already reached the edge of the inner city!" The original mission was three hours, but when facing an enemy army that was ten times more than one side, this mission seemed to be impossible.

Lu Yanan glanced at him and found that the soldiers were covered in dust, with exhausted faces, and many of them were shot. This battle was really impossible to fight! But now even if they wanted to retreat, there was no way, because the Japanese and French troops had already surrounded them firmly.

"Just like us, it is probably impossible to break out, so enter the inner city to defend!" Lu Yanan now feels increasingly that he and his battalion have become a bait, otherwise why would he only send 700 people in one battalion to resist thousands of enemy troops?

"Battery Commander, since we can't rush out, then let's defend the inner city to the death. We still have two heavy machine guns and two cannons. Hehe, these guys will have to break a few front teeth if they want to eat them!" Lin Fang did not think as much as Lu Yanan, but after knowing that the picture was impossible, he was going to pull some backs.

Lu Yanan looked back again and saw that the soldiers were not discouraged because they could not go out. It seemed that these people knew that there was no life this time. They believed the head of state’s previous promise to them, and sighed Lu Yanan nodded and said, “Okay! Enter the inner city defense, with the strength of the inner city, they will definitely not be able to fight in!”

In the inner city of Sishui, a building specially built for military supplies was about 100 meters north and south, surrounded by four-meter-high walls. Many places in the walls were irregularly embedded with many thorns to prevent others from climbing over the wall. Moreover, the inner city only has a city gate to the east, and only by breaking the gate can you enter. Lu Yanan used two heavy machine guns, and hundreds of people could really hold on for a while.

"Colonel, the enemy entered the inner city of the city, and the number of people was less than 1,000." The Japanese French army, who were surrounding the Iron Blood Army, discovered that the enemy was hiding in the inner city at the first time. First, a Japanese team of about 100 people charged, but was knocked out by the Iron Blood Army heavy machine gun and small cannons in the inner city and ran back. Then the Japanese army launched several large-scale attacks again. Although they almost invaded several times, they were still driven out. The door must be just a little wider, allowing at most seven or eight people to enter at the same time. Therefore, under the shooting of two heavy machine guns and many rifles, they returned unsuccessfully.

"Notify the artillery behind to shell them and break them!" Looking at the Iron Blood Army who was vowing to resist to the death, the Japanese colonel smiled disdainfully. The ending of this kind of stubborn resistance was only one way to destroy.

Neither the coalition forces nor Lu Yanan's battalion noticed that a piece of fireworks was quietly exposed in a very small hole under the city wall, and smoke slowly came out, and then a sharp sound of cannons rang out into the sky.

"Didi..." After the signal flare was released, the man under the city wall hurriedly returned to the telegraph machine on the side, and then began to send the news.

"Report to the division commander, the fireworks operation has begun, but it is observed that there are only seven or eight thousand entrants in the Japanese and French army, which has not reached the predetermined number. However, for safety and feasibility considerations, the suicide squads still launched operations in advance." The popularization of telegraph aircraft in the Iron Blood Army was very low, and it was only at the brigade level. This suicide squad fireworks operation is very important, so a telegraph aircraft was allocated.

"Let's start! Anyway, the combat purpose of the Third Division has been achieved, and more than 10,000 enemy troops have been killed. This time, thousands of opponents are eliminated and the opponent is given major damage. I think the pressure on the eastern defense line will be reduced very well!" Tian Ding was very supportive of the fireworks operation, but he was a little reluctant to let it go. It must be the elite of that battalion!

Deng Sen also carried out fireworks operations. In order to give the enemy a huge shock to the enemy, he had to do this. He had great expectations for this battle, especially after receiving cooperation with the British, he paid more attention to it. He really did not expect that Beiyang, which was almost threatened by the two big-name empires of Japan and Britain, did not attack him. The revolutionary army in the south that claimed nationality actually followed him, which made him extremely confused. According to history, such things should not have happened, but after thinking about it carefully, he understood that Britain, France, Japan and other countries had an extremely powerful influence in the Far East. Compared with those revolutionary parties, they expected to join the line and then balance Yuan Shikai! However, Yuan Shikai was very moved by the Japanese army's almost threat of sending troops and not moving. The heroes and reckless men were completely different.

The camera returned to Sishui City. Now the inner city is rumbling constantly, and artillery shells are pouring ruthlessly into the place. Almost all the soldiers of the Iron Blood Army died in battle, leaving only Lu Yanan and Lin Fang and others who fell to the ground seriously injured and watched the artillery fire fall down around them.

Lu Yanan was seriously injured in the leg. A shrapnel cut off one side of his calf. Blood flowed out like a fountain. However, he leaned against a broken wall and looked blankly into the distance. For a moment, he felt deeply moved and even had some enlightenment.

"We are abandoned children! We are bait!" He said to the brothers beside him.

"Battery Commander, I think those guys outside who were watching us joke will soon be buried with us! I don't know why I suddenly felt that the gunpowder smells so strong in this place!" Lin Fang lost his arm, his face pale, and hundreds of brothers were not killed by enemy bullets, but almost all died under the fire of the other party.

"Hmph! I think we may still see it, but there are some who are not afraid of death! They are not afraid of death, and we are afraid of anything. I hope the head of state can remember what he said!" Lu Yanan has always performed well in the army. He is young, promising and handsome, and has ambition, but he really can't figure out why his superiors sent him to carry out the task of this bait? When he heard the signal flare, he knew that this city was definitely strange. Until they saw some newly dug tiny ravines in the inner city and found the leads in it, they realized that the military headquarters was going to blow up the entire Sishui, and their function was to serve as bait.

"Battery Commander, don't doubt the words of the Head of State. When will the Head of State disappoint us? Actually, even if the military headquarters directly said that we were on the mission of death, I, Lin Fang, wouldn't frown. I was angry when I first heard you say it, but if you think about it carefully, aren't the brothers responsible for lighting explosives more uncomfortable than us? They have to endure the torture of death longer than us, and they have to light this huge torch with their own hands. Like them, as a soldier of the Iron Blood Army, I solemnly tell the company commander that what the Head of State said can definitely be realized. Long live the Iron Blood Party, long live the Han people..." Lin Fang was open-minded, and to Dengson and his infinite loyalty to the Iron Blood Party, he still stood firmly on Dengson's side even after knowing that he was an abandoned son.

Lu Yanan looked around and didn't know where the brothers who were responsible for lighting the gunpowder were, but he knew that those people were suffering in their hearts because one thought was doomed to life and death.

There are thirty ignition points in the city, all in simple underground fortifications. Since three days ago, these people have been on standby here, eating, drinking, urinating, and sleeping here. They are waiting, waiting for the signal, and waiting for the last moment.

"Child! Dad has won you all his life to gain wealth. Don't blame him for not being able to accompany you!" A man in his thirties held a photo under the dim light and looked at the appearance of his three children in the photo. He had two sons and one daughter. His eldest son was seventeen years old and was already a student in the officers' school. His second son was thirteen years old. He was in the military elementary school. His youngest daughter was only ten years old and he was in elementary school. He had dozens of acres of land allocated to his family, and his later military merits were sold. His family had more than 300 yuan in savings. It is logical that he would not participate in this operation for money.

He or he came, he knew that everything he had was given by Deng Sen. If it weren't for the head of state, he was still wandering with his three children, and he was not able to eat three meals a day, so he would have starved to death on the hill. When he was told about this action, his first feeling was opportunity, yes, it was opportunity. This word he had just learned not long ago, they were brave, so after their death, their eldest son was directly given the rank of second lieutenant and entered the Anhui North Martial Arts School. Even if he was young, the glory would not change, and all kinds of benefits would be extremely high, and the martyrs' monument would have their names, and their family and relatives would be respected by everyone.

On August 1, 1630, the second hour after more than 8,000 Japanese and French troops entered Sishui. When they were sent to the inner city to clean up, they saw the extremely seriously injured iron-blooded soldiers showing them the bloody ones that had long been seeped in blood. Then they smiled slightly, and all the Japanese troops wrapped in the French army felt a chill on their backs. At this moment, a loud noise suddenly sounded, and a huge ball of fireballs appeared in the east of the city. Then the entire Sishui City boiled and exploded one after another. The Japanese French army fled everywhere in horror, but what was waiting for them was a Shura hell!

It's too late again!!! Apologize and apologize!!! I admit my mistake!
