    "Boom" "Boom" "Boom"

    Earth-shaking explosions kept ringing outside the city. Even from a distance, Li Guoyao and others in the Bengbu garrison headquarters could still hear the obvious vibrations, which were more obvious than earthquakes.

    This is the sound of the Japanese heavy artillery bombarding the city wall. It is conceivable that the dilapidated city wall of Bengbu City may not be able to withstand a few shells before it collapses.

    But even so, all the officers in the entire command headquarters did not feel nervous at all, as if the battle outside had nothing to do with them.

    In fact, they were all nervous, but their superiors were all at the headquarters and no one escaped, so they were also infected.

    People are like this. What they fear most is that they don¡¯t have a backbone. Once they see people who are better than themselves or superior leaders who can look calm in times of crisis, others will soon stop panicking.

    As for Li Guoyao himself, it is impossible to say that he is not nervous. After all, tens of thousands of Japanese troops have already reached Bengbu City and are attacking the city wall. The strongest and strongest front-line position on the outermost edge has collapsed. If we only rely on the defensive capabilities of the city wall,  I'm afraid I can only hold on for most of a day, and I won't be able to do it any longer.

    Once the city is destroyed, the consequences will be disastrous.

    First of all, the city's defenders are far inferior to the Japanese army in terms of both quantity and quality. Once there are no city walls and other fortifications, they will have to engage in brutal street fighting and hand-to-hand combat with the Japanese army. Don't mention the chances of winning.  , not even 10%.

    Secondly, in addition to combat troops, there are a large number of non-combat troops in the city, including logistics and doctors and nurses in field hospitals. Once the city is defeated, everyone will be destroyed.

    However, Li Guoyao always believed in his heart that his combat plan would be successful. As long as the troops in the city could persist for a few hours, the Japanese troops would inevitably retreat after Chuxian, Nanqiao and other places were captured by the Jiangnan guerrillas.

    If they insist not to retreat, Li Guoyao doesn't mind fighting them again. At that time, he will order the Jiangnan guerrillas and other troops outside the city to encircle Bengbu City.

    He didn¡¯t believe it. The Japs had lost so many troops one after another. How long could they hold on?

    "Wow"

    A combat staff officer hurriedly broke into the headquarters, and then said in a deep voice: "Reporter's seat, the south gate wall was blasted by Japanese heavy artillery and a hundred-meter-long gap was destroyed. A large number of Japanese troops rushed in through the gap. You  Are you evacuating outside the city"

    Li Guoyao said calmly: "Humph, isn't it just a gap? Tell Xie Baojun to block it for me. No soldier from the Japs will be allowed to enter the city before ten o'clock!"

    "yes!"

    Then Li Guoyao said again: "Call Xu Wenlong and ask their air defense regiment to dispatch a battalion to the south gate and ask them to nail it to the south gate for me. Whether it is the little devil's infantry, cavalry or chariot troops, they will kill as many as they come for me."  !¡±

    "yes!"

    "There are also special forces. They have been quiet these days. They fish in troubled waters at night. Let them go up now and let the snipers beat those sons of bitches hard for me!" Li Guoyao said loudly.

    "yes!"

    ? .Following Li Guoyao's order, a large number of troops were mobilized, and the two sides once again fell into a bitter battle!

    Outside the city, the atmosphere in the temporary headquarters of the Japanese army was high. After fighting hard for more than half a month, they were finally about to reap the fruits of victory. Both Yoshizumi Ryosuke and the general combat staff were very excited.

    It was not easy. They were really stunned by the combat effectiveness of the Seventh Division. It was hard to imagine that there was only one Chinese infantry division in the city, but it blocked two of their divisions plus a mixed brigade for more than half a month.  time and caused them such heavy casualties.

    Now that the city is finally about to be broken, how can you not be excited? What¡¯s more, after the city is broken, the Chinese general who dared to challenge the supreme authority of the Imperial Japanese Army will not be able to escape. They can finally explain to the base camp and the front army headquarters.

    At this time, a combat staff officer hurried in from outside, and said with a joyful face: "Report, the heavy artillery regiment blasted a gap in the south gate wall, and some troops of the third brigade of the 6th brigade, 7th regiment, have entered  city!"

    "Youxi, order the troops on the front line to increase their offensive intensity and strive to capture Bengbu City before ten o'clock!" Yoshizumi Ryosuke said loudly.

    "Hai!"

    ?¡­Dividing line¡­.Dividing line¡­

    The battle for Bengbu City has reached its most critical moment. Both the defenders and the Japanese army have reached the last moment.It's time, and both sides are holding on.

    However, on the periphery, the counterattack plan formulated by Li Guoyao has just begun!

    At ten o'clock in the evening, many city walls in the east, west, and south directions of Bengbu City were blown down. However, even so, the Japanese army still did not enter the city in large numbers because there were unexpectedly many defenders in the city.

    Often when a gap has just been formed, before the Japanese troops can rush in, there are troops blocking the gap on the other side. In addition, there are many troops who serve as fire-fighting captains. They rush to wherever the Japanese troops enter the city.

    All in all, the battle was very fierce, but the Japanese army was never able to enter the city before ten o'clock as Yoshizumi Ryosuke hoped!

    Chu County, even though it is past ten o'clock in the evening, the entire city is still brightly lit. Due to the huge consumption of tens of thousands of troops on the front line, the emergence of this logistics base requires non-stop transportation of supplies to the front line.

    At the same time, the Japanese troops on the front line suffered heavy casualties, and a large number of wounded had to be transported back to Chu County for treatment. As a result, there are now more than 7,000 Japanese wounded soldiers in the urban area of ??Chu County alone.

    That¡¯s all, because the Japanese army also pays attention to returning to their roots, even if they die outside, their ashes must be sent back to Japan.  Therefore, as long as the bodies of the Japanese soldiers killed on the Bengbu front line could still be identified, they would be transported back to Chu County by car and cremated, and then the ashes would be placed in an altar. If the bodies were really unclear, a hand or a leg would be taken with them.

    In fact, Jiang Feng and others were recruited by the Japanese army to the city to cremate the corpses of Japanese soldiers. When they saw the corpses of Japanese soldiers piled up in the cremation area behind the Chuxian garrison headquarters of the Japanese army, waiting for cremation, everyone was shocked.

    I saw that this specially opened cremation area was full of Japanese corpses. They were so densely packed that there were thousands of them at least. Even Jiang Feng and others who were used to seeing big scenes were shocked.

    They had never imagined that corpses could be stacked like this, like wood, layer by layer!

    The wood piles used to cremate corpses are also piled one after another. After one corpse is cremated, the fire is immediately rebuilt and the next one is cremated, staying up all night.

    Except for Jiang Feng and others who were busy cremating the corpses of Japanese soldiers, no one in Chuxian County knew that a large number of national army officers and soldiers had gathered outside the city. They had arrived at the outskirts of Chuxian County and were preparing to attack the city.

    In fact, it is not the fault of the Japanese army for being slow. Since these ferocious Japanese soldiers almost slaughtered all the Chinese towns outside Chu County, there was no need to station troops.

    So much so that the Japanese army did not even have a stronghold within a span of more than ten kilometers from the west to north of the Chuxian county seat. As a result, the Jiangnan guerrillas reached the outside of Chuxian city without any hindrance.

    Of course, there was also the element of carelessness on the part of the Japanese army in underestimating the enemy. They believed that the main force had surrounded Li Guoyao's troops in Bengbu County, and the Sixth Division had already conquered Quanjiao, and there would be no more Chinese troops nearby.  , that¡¯s why he was so careless.

    So, when the Jiangnan guerrillas suddenly launched an attack from outside the city, all the Japanese in the city were stunned!  (Remember the website address: www.hlnovel.com
