The Japanese attack continued until noon. Although Xia Yang and the others successfully contained the Japanese tank attack. However, the Japanese troops were numerous and had fierce firepower, and they still succeeded in capturing Block 3 and most of Block 2.
Xia Yang is relatively satisfied with this result. His goal is to persist until noon tomorrow, and after giving the little devil a big gift, he will lead his soldiers and the people who are willing to leave here to march towards the Taihang Mountains.
But if they persist until noon tomorrow, the Japanese army may not be willing to let them survive for such a long time. They were also anxious to continue going south. There was no reason to leave the main force of the division in this tiny place just for the sake of a small city.
The South City Gate is still in their hands, but the city gate has been opened, and the Japanese army has blown down many city walls. It is only a matter of time before the South City Gate is breached. Xia Yang even doubted whether the South City Gate could survive until nightfall today.
Once the South City Gate is breached, Block 2, Block 4, and Block 5 will all be surrounded by Japanese troops on three sides.
By then, even Xia Yang would have to abandon these blocks. If they continue to hold on blindly, they will only give the Japanese army the opportunity to divide and surround them.
During the gap between the Japanese attacks, Xia Yang personally arrived at the South City Wall and handed the last remaining trebuchet into the hands of Liu Fudong and others.
Most of the trebuchets were damaged during the battle. Although the craftsmen later rushed to build a few more, the damage was so serious that in the end only three trebuchets were left.
In the previous battle, a mortar shell from the Japanese army hit a napalm bomb. It directly turned four trebuchets into coke, and the lives of more than ten soldiers nearby were also plundered.
The southern city wall has been covered with bullet holes and holes left by cannonball bombardment, and most of the battlements have also been punched with gaps.
The corpses of some soldiers were placed at the corners of the city wall before they had time to be carried under the city wall. A fishy smell emanated from their pierced chests and abdomens. But no one will dislike them, because a moment ago, they were all comrades fighting side by side.
Xia Yang looked at Liu Fudong and said: "Old Liu, I want you to lead people to guard the South City Gate, at least until night before retreating to Block 5. Can you do it?"
Liu Fudong licked his lips, and then said in a firm tone: "Tuanzuo, don't worry, I can do it, I will definitely do it."
Xia Yang nodded and said, "Okay, with your words, I feel relieved."
After saying that, he looked at Song Yumo who was constantly wiping his sniper rifle in the corner.
Xia Yang walked a few steps over and squatted in front of Song Yumo.
Song Yumo has not washed his face for several days. At this time, his face is covered with dust and looks gray. Only when he opens his eyes and grins, can he see other colors.
She didn¡¯t say anything, just smiled and held out her hand.
That is a language that only Xia Yang and her can understand.
"There are no candies today." Xia Yang said apologetically.
Song Yumo¡¯s eyes flashed with a trace of disappointment, but he immediately returned to normal. She chuckled lightly, then patted Barrett in her hand and said, "Tuanzuo, it performed very well today and killed many enemies."
Xia Yang said: "You performed better."
With that said, he took out a piece of steamed bun from his pocket, put it in Song Yumo's hand and said, "Eat some food. The battle is still very long. I'm afraid we won't even have time to eat tonight."
After taking the steamed bun just now, Song Yumo chewed it unceremoniously.
"Do you still remember what I said to you?" Xia Yang asked Song Yumo.
Song Yumo was chewing steamed buns in her mouth, her cheeks bulging, staring at a pair of big bloodshot eyes, and asked Xia Yang in a vague voice: "What are you talking about? Group seats?"
"Survive." Xia Yang only said these three words.
When Song Yumo heard this, he just stared and nodded. Then he continued to chew the bun in his mouth.
¡°Actually, Liu Fudong and Wei Xing are very strange.
In their eyes, Song Yumo is a killing machine that doesn't make any expression. She spoke very little, and even if someone told her about some tactical arrangements, her answers would be as concise as she could, usually no more than three words.
"But such a weirdo, when in front of Xia Yang, will be obedient and docile, like a cat.
Xia Yang said nothing more, no one could stay out of this cruel battle. He really wanted to protect Song Yumo and let her go to a safer place.
But Song Yumo¡¯s departure means the sacrifice of more soldiers. Xia Yang couldn't do this, it would be too selfish.
After leaving the South City Gate, Xia Yang braved Japanese mortar fire and rushed towards the last barricade in Block 2.
Block 3 has fallen. At this time, Block 2 serves as a combat salient. If it can continue to hold on, it will be able to effectively protect the safety of Blocks 4 and 5.
Qiu Guoping's troops were also stationed in Block 2, where more than 300 soldiers under Xia Yang were gathered. And the most elite security company is also stationed here.
The Japanese offensive in this direction is still continuing. The soldiers in Block 2 were engaged in fierce battles with the Japanese troops while eating steamed buns sent by people all over the city.
Hu San was also very surprised when he saw Xia Yang arriving.
"Tuanzuo, it's too dangerous here, please go back quickly." Hu San said, pointing in the direction of Block 9.
Xia Yang said: "Is there any safe place in the city? How is the situation ahead?"
Hu San wiped a handful of blood from his face, which was spattered on his face when a guard company soldier next to him was hit in the head by a heavy machine gun bullet.
"The Japs fought very hard, but their mortar bombing was not as fierce as it was at the beginning. We should be able to hold off for a while," Hu Sandao said.
Xia Yang looked at Hu Sand and said, "I want you to hold on until nightfall. Is there any problem?"
Hu San is also a down-to-earth person and said straightforwardly: "Tuan Zuo, there is a problem! A big problem! We really can't stop it for that long! There are too many people here."
Hearing Hu San¡¯s straightforward answer, Xia Yang also smiled bitterly.
He knew that Hu San was telling the truth, because in just one morning, most of Block 2 was destroyed. At this rate, in more than an hour at most, this place will become the territory of the Japanese army. (Remember the website address: www.hlnovel.com - Didn't finish reading?
