The news that Mancheng was lost overnight quickly reached Neji Okamura.
Originally, Okamura Neiji thought that nothing would go wrong if the city was full tonight.
After all, there are no more enemies. Armored troops and artillery troops, relying only on infantry, will find it difficult to break through the defense lines they set up on the periphery.
But Okamura Neji would never have dreamed that their outer defense line had indeed not been broken through by the enemy.
Because the enemy was inside, they broke through their defense lines and directly occupied the city.
Okamura Neji, who originally wanted to have a good sleep, knew that tonight would be another sleepless night.
Thinking like this, the white hair on his head became more and more, while the black hair became less.
Dawn came soon, and the Japanese positions on the outskirts of the city were deserted.
Out of caution, Hao Shiwen ordered his soldiers to explore the position to prevent the Japanese army from hiding mines and other explosives on the position.
These soldiers indeed found some hidden mines and explosives on the Japanese positions.
But as engineers arrived, these explosives were quickly dismantled.
Then their infantry troops began to march towards Mancheng.
The air seemed particularly fresh in the early morning without the Japanese troops all over the city.
The common people got up early, but when they opened the door, they only saw the commandos of the Fourth Army standing motionless at the street entrance.
At this time, the city gate has been opened, just waiting for Hao Shiwen and his soldiers to enter the city.
Some common people saw that these commando team members were wearing the uniforms of the National Revolutionary Army.
Then we knew that after the battle last night, all the Japanese troops in the city had been driven away.
For them, this is a bit dreamy. In just one sleep, the whole city has been successfully recovered.
And on the streets, the bloodstains left by the fierce battles between the Japanese troops have not even completely dried up.
There are some people who have experienced the battle to defend the city. Looking at the soldiers standing on the street like flagpole squads, he walked up curiously and asked: "Which army are you from?"
Those soldiers replied: "We are the 4th Army of the National Revolutionary Army, the army of Commander Xia."
¡°Commander Xia, what is your commander¡¯s name?
"" asked a middle-aged man with a scar on his face.
The scar on his face was left when he fought with the Japanese army during the battle to defend the city.
¡°It was only later that when the Japanese army interrogated him, he said it was a wound left by shrapnel, thus saving his life.
"Otherwise, they will be directly massacred by the Japanese army."
The soldier smiled and said: "Commander Xia's name is Xia Yang. He has stayed in Mancheng before and participated in the defense battle here. He fought fiercely with the Japanese invaders here for more than a week."
Hearing this, the middle-aged man with scars on his face immediately shed hot tears from his cloudy eyes.
He grabbed the soldier¡¯s hand and said: ¡°You are from the 4th Regiment, you are from the 4th Regiment.
¡°I once fought side by side with your regiment commander, and we fought bloody battles with the Japanese army throughout the city for more than a week. The scar on my face was left by the Japanese bayonet. "
After saying this, he didn't wait for the soldier to speak, and shouted: "It's the people of the Fourth Regiment, the people of the regiment commander Xia Yangxia, they are back, they are really back!"
His words echoed in the streets, waking up people who had not yet fully woken up in the early morning.
Such news spread from one person to another, and soon everyone in the city knew about it.
The troops that fought fiercely with the Japanese army last night and will complete the recovery are not other troops.
It was Xia Yang¡¯s four armies who had guarded the city with them.
People all over the city walked out of their homes and began to pour into the streets.
They cheered loudly, and some even made their own banners, preparing to welcome the main force of the Fourth Army into the city.
Hao Shiwen rode on his war horse and walked forward with his soldiers.
Before they even entered the city walls, they heard the roar of people and cheers.
On top of the war horse, he said to Chen Shiliang next to him: "Mr. Chen, this is the place where we and Ju Nuo once stood. Now we are revisiting our old place."?It's a different feeling. "
After hearing this, Chen Shiliang turned to look at Ma Siyuan next to him and said, "Old Ma, have you fought here too?"
Ma Siyuan nodded and said: "Indeed, I came to support Commander Xia in the battle.
Later, I boarded his pirate ship and have been following him to this day. "
"Then you have to sit tight on this pirate ship. After all, if you want to board this kind of pirate ship in the future, there will be no place to board it." Chen Shiliang said jokingly.
A few people just chatted like this and came to the outside of the city gate.
At this time, the city gate was already filled with cheering crowds.
When they saw the troops of the four armies in full formation, they immediately cheered.
Some people inside have already recognized Hao Shiwen.
Because Hao Shiwen was also one of the officers fighting in Mancheng at that time. They were all somewhat impressed by this officer who looked very elegant.
So at this time, they could be completely sure that the troops entering the city were the same troops that defended them all over the city.
However, they couldn't help but feel a little disappointed because they didn't see Xia Yang.
But it doesn¡¯t matter, because the mighty army in front of them is enough for them to cheer.
Many soldiers who came to Mancheng for the first time were a little surprised, why the enthusiasm of the people here was much higher than that of the people in other areas.
Later, I asked some veterans who had followed Xia Yang and the others a long time ago, and I learned about the stories that had happened here.
Zhang Huaili stood in the crowd, waved to Hao Shiwen and shouted loudly: "Chief of Staff Hao! Chief of Staff Hao! I'm here! Have you seen me?"
When Hao Shiwen heard the voice, he thought it sounded familiar, so he turned around and looked over.
Only then did I see Zhang Huaili. This time, after all the actions in Mancheng, without Zhang Huaili's cooperation, it would not have been so smooth, so Zhang Huaili also contributed a lot.
So he got off his horse, walked to Zhang Huaili, held his hand tightly and said, "Thank you so much for this time. Without your cooperation, our attack on Mancheng this time would definitely be difficult." A lot more casualties."
The people nearby were a little surprised when they saw Hao Shiwen holding Zhang Huaili's hand.
But from what Hao Shiwen said, it seems that Zhang Huaili also played a lot of roles in this operation to recapture Mancheng.
So they began to talk about it, and they began to assign some identities to Shopkeeper Zhang, such as an undercover agent hiding in the Japanese army, or an underground party. (Remember the website address: www.hlnovel.com
