    On their city wall, with a defensive width of more than one kilometer, nearly two thousand people charged against them.  The total number of Japanese troops stationed on this wall was less than a hundred.  Not only was the firepower spread out, but the numbers were also severely lacking.

    The soldiers of the Independent Division spread towards the city wall of Licheng County like a dense swarm of insects.

    When the puppet troops saw this scene, they subconsciously planned to surrender.

    They don¡¯t want to really work hard for these Japanese, and come here to be traitors, just to get a little bit of money every month.

    But they all know that now is not the time to surrender.  Because those Japanese will kill them immediately.

    So these puppet troops began to fully demonstrate to the Japanese what it meant to be a foreigner, and what it meant to do a job without working hard.

    When these puppet soldiers were shooting, they wanted to point their guns towards the sky, for fear that the bullets would hit the soldiers of the Fourth Army below.  Moreover, they hid their entire bodies behind the battlements. If no howitzers came back or large-caliber bullets penetrated the battlements, they could definitely guarantee that their lives would be safe.

    Only the Japanese soldiers were still roaring and raising their guns to shoot at the charging soldiers of the Fourth Army below.

    But their number was too small, and they could not stop the advancement of thousands of people on the front of the city wall.

    Coupled with the extremely dense firepower network, within a few minutes, the Japanese troops at the gate of the city were killed by the swarming Independent Division soldiers.

    Behind them, more soldiers rushed into the city along the opened city gate.  Behind them, there were countless people, firing at the city wall and rushing towards the city gate.

    The remaining Japanese troops on the city wall resisted for less than half an hour and were all wiped out.

    And those puppet soldiers who were very "aware of current affairs" shouted "Chinese people will not fight Chinese people" while raising their hands and crawling out of the position, looking harmless to humans and animals.

    After occupying several city gates, the two regiments of the independent division began to clean up this small county town.

    There were dozens of remaining Japanese soldiers, using alleys large and small to engage in street fighting with them, refusing to hand over their weapons.

    Seeing the battle flag of the independent division flying above the city wall, Qiu Guoping nodded with great satisfaction and said: "It took less than two hours, and it seems that the progress is going very smoothly."

    Liu Xiangguo adjusted his gold-rimmed glasses and said: "In my opinion, the Japanese reinforcements may arrive soon. We only stay with one regiment to come for reinforcements. Some of them are not enough. We need to send at least two regiments of troops to come."  To deal with the Japanese troops coming from the direction of Changzhi."

    Qiu Guoping glanced at him, then took off Liu Xiangguo's golden eyes and said, "Stop pretending to be polite and get down to business!"

    "Give me the glasses, or I won't do it." Liu Xiangguo held out his hand resolutely.

    "Oh, I really think of these gold-rimmed glasses as a treasure!" Qiu Guoping smiled and looked at the gold-rimmed glasses in his hand.

    Liu Xiangguo grabbed it and said: "You know nothing, but I can tell you that this world can only continue to develop forward after all, relying on the promotion of knowledge."

    "Where did you learn this? Did the military commander say it?" Qiu Guoping asked.

    Liu Xiangguo wiped his gold-rimmed glasses, as if Qiu Guoping had just soiled his flawless body.

    "I thought about it myself, you know what the heck. I won't communicate with you anymore, I will go and bring people to help." Liu Xiangguo said and walked away.

    "I am your teacher." Qiu Guoping shouted unwillingly from behind.

    When the people of Licheng County saw that the troops of the Fourth Army were entering the city, they opened their windows one after another and came to the streets that were still filled with a bit of gunpowder smoke.

    They stood on both sides of the road, welcoming the arrival of the Fourth Army.  Some old people even have tears in their eyes, and they have a sense of sadness that "Wang Shibei sets the Central Plains Day, and he never forgets to tell Nai Weng about family sacrifices."

    Many people here are relatively lucky, and they finally waited until the day when the Japanese were driven away.  But more people did not wait for this day, and died on this land due to various reasons during their years of living in the occupied areas.

    Some girls, carrying mulan on their shoulders, stuffed fruits and vegetables into the hands of the soldiers of the Fourth Army.

    "However, the soldiers of the Fourth Army have strict discipline and are not allowed to take these fruits and vegetables.  Even if you take it,?Give money to the people.

    Although the Fourth Army is nominally an army of the Kuomintang, Xia Yang's requirements for soldiers are based on those of the Communist Party.

    It has to be said that such a unit is more popular among the people.  At least when the people see them, their first reaction is not to run away and be afraid, but to want you to smile, and they are even willing to stuff the only food they have into their hands.

    Five minutes after the attack in Licheng County, Okamura Neiji, who was far away in Changzhi City, received a telegram from the Japanese squadron leader stationed in Licheng County.

    Okamura Neji realized that the enemy must have detoured back to their rear and wanted to cut off their retreat.

    So Okamura Neiji sent a telegram and ordered the Japanese squadron leader to persist for more than two hours no matter what.  Their support troops will rush over soon.

    But half an hour later, Okamura Neiji received the second telegram from the Japanese squadron leader.

    Their outer city walls have all been lost.  At this time, the Japanese squadron leader was leading the remaining dozens of Japanese soldiers, hiding in a courtyard and resisting.

    More than ten minutes later, Okamura Neji received the last telegram.

    The squadron leader had been killed, and the last telegram was sent by a communications unit. The content was very simple. They had been completely wiped out and were loyal to His Majesty the Emperor.

    At this moment, the support troops dispatched by Okamura Neiji had just boarded the truck and had not even stepped on the accelerator.

    "The retreat plan is advanced, and the troops are ordered to start attacking in the direction of Licheng County. The enemy's troops have already detoured back to our rear."

    Okamura Neji gave the order very decisively.

    The news that Licheng County had been captured quickly reached Xia Yang and the others.

    However, Xia Yang did not intend to attack immediately. He just asked the artillery troops to advance their positions so that the coverage of their artillery could even reach the highway from Changzhi to Licheng County.

    The purpose of this is very simple, which is to minimize the support to Qiu Guoping's troops.

    He gave Qiu Guoping an order to stick to it for two days.

    When they get the epidemic under control within the army, they will immediately launch an attack on the Japanese army.  (Remember the website address: www.hlnovel.com
