    At this time, the South City Gate was still under the control of the National Army soldiers, but the Japanese vanguard force was only one block away.

    Ren Haojie didn¡¯t know where he got gasoline from, and at the same time, he piled up a large amount of firewood in the entrance of the South City Gate.  There was only a gap for two people to walk between the firewood.

    Commander Cao and the remaining few hundred people of the 178th Division have already withdrawn from Shangbei County through this gap and headed towards Shijiazhuang.

    Looking at the pile of firewood, Ren Haojie said: "Brothers, pour all the gasoline on these firewood."

    After doing this, they entered the defensive position at the south city gate.

    The south gate is a circular defensive position. Ren Haojie said he led a company, but in the long battle, there were less than thirty people left in this company.  Therefore, this circular fortification can accommodate them just fine.

    Although the Japanese army was close to victory, they did not advance rashly.  Instead, they moved forward bit by bit, searching each house, not missing anyone.

    Ren Haojie took out a pack of cigarettes from his pocket, which he found from the corpse of a Japanese captain a few days ago when he took his men to touch the bullets on the little Japanese corpse.

    "Come on, brothers, let's try the cigarettes over there." As he said that, he smiled and opened the cigarette box.

    When the soldiers saw the cigarettes, their eyes suddenly lit up.

    They are all a bunch of hard-working people, and they don¡¯t even have that much money to buy cigarettes.  What's more, the war broke out later, and they hadn't tasted the taste of cigarettes for a long time.

    "Three of us have one cigarette! Don't grab it! After smoking this cigarette, let's hit the road!" Ren Haojie said while handing out cigarettes.

    "Sir, you don't know how to smoke! What should I do?" A fifteen-year-old boy who was still a little immature said, looking at the cigarette in his hand with wide eyes.

    Hearing this, the soldiers nearby laughed.

    Ren Haojie patted his shoulder and said, "Take a puff! You won't have to smoke anymore!"

    After hearing this, the child soldier lit the cigarette and took a puff.

    ¡°As a result, after he took this puff, he swallowed it directly into his lungs.  This time it was a joke. The child soldier was choked with snot running from his nose and tears falling down his face.

    "You are lying!" The young man said while coughing violently.

    The soldiers next to him laughed. A veteran couldn't wait to grab the cigarette from his hand, and then took two greedy puffs.

    Before he could finish smoking, a soldier next to him snatched it and took two hard puffs.

    Everyone is enjoying this moment of joy, although everyone knows in their hearts that in a while, they will die here.  But everyone is so calm.

    At this time, a soldier in front shouted: "Sir, the little devil is here!"

    Through the gaps in the sandbags, Ren Haojie clearly saw the little Japs rushing towards him from the streets on both sides.

    Ren Haojie slammed the cigarette butt in his hand to the ground, picked up the flower in his hand and said: "Brothers, get ready, don't let the naughty little devil get past here!"

    The child soldier next to him reached out and tugged on his clothes and said, "Sir, I'm afraid, what should I do?"

    Ren Haojie touched his head in a funny way and said, "Boy, what's your name?"

    The child soldier stood at attention and said, "Sir, my name is Yang Qingze."

    Ren Haojie nodded and said: "Okay, Yang Qingze, let me tell you, when you are scared, just roar. After roaring twice, you will be brave enough to feel happy."

    After hearing this, Yang Qingze roared at the top of his lungs.

    Then he turned his head to look at Ren Haojie with some surprise and said: "Sir, it's much better."

    When he turned back, he found that Ren Haojie was already lying on the ground, pointing the flower machine gun in his hand at the Japanese troops rushing over on the street.

    "There is a ring position over there, captain!" a Japanese soldier said to their captain.

    Their captain put away the command knife in his hand, and then said to the mortar team behind him: "Kill them out!"

    Then he said to the soldiers beside him: "Gentlemen! After the bombardment is over, we charge!!"

    The little devil's mortar shells hit far, and each shell landed on Ren Haojie's position andInside things.

    ¡°Boom!! Boom!!¡±

    The sound of explosion rang in the ears of child soldier Yang Qingze.  The huge sound almost penetrated his eardrums, hitting his ears repeatedly.

    "Ah!!" He yelled in fear, squatting on the ground and not daring to move.

    A broken palm of a national soldier fell in front of him, scaring him so much that he sat on the ground.

    After a while, a hazy voice came to his ears.  The sound was very weak at first, but finally became clearer.

    "Yang Qingze! The little devil is coming! Meet the enemy!!" Ren Haojie's voice rang in his ears.

    Yang Qingze was a little confused, nodded blankly, and climbed onto the sandbag with Ren Haojie.

    At this time, he discovered that one of Ren Haojie's arms had been blown off.  Maybe the palm that fell in front of him belonged to Ren Haojie.

    "What are you looking at?" Ren Haojie asked Yang Qingze.  The expression on his face was a bit ferocious, and it was obvious that the pain from his broken arm was stimulating his nerves.  But he gritted his teeth and didn't make any sound.

    Yang Qingze pointed at her arm and said: "Sir sir, why your arm is gone?"

    Ren Haojie squeezed out a few words from between his teeth and said: "Damn it, you are risking your life, and you want an arm that can be pulled out of a chicken?"

    As he said this, he set his sights on the street in front of him.

    The smoke gradually dissipated, and the little devil had appeared in their sight.

    "Ta da da da!!!" The Maxim machine gun on the position began to roar and fired at the group of charging Japanese troops.

    When the machine gun here rang out, the rifles on the position also rang out.

    The Japanese troops began to hide on street corners and shoot at their positions.  The experienced grenade soldiers began to adjust the angle of the grenade and hit their positions one after another with grenades.

    The Maxim machine gun misfired, and the two machine gunners were blown away by falling grenades.

    Without the suppression of the Maxim machine gun, the Japanese troops rushed forward quickly.

    Seeing the roaring Japanese soldiers rushing up, Ren Haojie used his remaining right hand to take out a box of matches from his pocket, threw it into Yang Qingze's hand and said, "Boy, I'll give you this match to light that pile of firewood."  (Remember the website address: www.hlnovel.com
