The moment Li Jing ordered his men to fire, he had already pounced on Li Chengqian and threw Li Shimin aside, without any intention of protecting him.

With one shell, the artillery position on the arsenal was instantly overturned.

The Japanese tanks were also blown into scrap metal.

There was a brief calm on the battlefield...

Among the Tang Dynasty soldiers, only Hou Junji and Li Shimin remained sober.

The others were either seriously injured and unconscious, or blown into pieces.

In order to protect Li Chengqian, Li Jing was blown beyond recognition.

Hou Junji shook his head, without even looking at Cheng Yaojin who was already dead beside him, he set up the machine gun without saying anything.

Da da da.....

Even if everyone died in the battle, he would help His Royal Highness the Crown Prince complete the mission and hold on until Yang Cheng arrived.

Li Shimin pushed away the two guards who were pressing on him, and miraculously he did not suffer any harm.

Looking at the tragic situation around him, he knew in his heart that the Tang Dynasty soldiers could be resurrected.

However, the damage caused by the artillery still left a deep psychological shadow in his heart.

At this time, the sound of Hou Junji's machine gun was heard.

Li Shimin came to his senses, struggled to get up and walked to Hou Junji, kicking away the body of Cheng Yaojin who was lying on the heavy machine gun.

"Come on, the Emperor of the Tang Dynasty is here, who dares to fight?!"

Da da da......

The king and his minister used two heavy machine guns to beat the Japanese on the opposite side, who had lost their heavy firepower, so hard that they could not even raise their heads.

"Your Majesty, please stop fighting. We need to take turns. You go inside and get the bullets. I will guard this place."

Li Shimin nodded. He knew that Hou Junji was more familiar with modern warfare than himself.

This is not the time to talk about the relationship between the monarch and his subjects. You should be obedient.

He quickly ran to the warehouse and took out a box of bullets and placed it next to Hou Junji, then pried open the box and pulled out the bullet chain.

After doing all this, he ran to the warehouse, and repeated this process until he had ten boxes of bullets piled up around him.

Hou Junji stopped firing his heavy machine gun because the Japanese on the opposite side had already retreated.

"Something is wrong. The Japanese won't give up the arsenal so easily!" Li Shimin felt something was wrong at the first moment.

Hou Junji immediately came to his senses: "The back and the side!!"

"Your Majesty, you stay here and I will go to the rooftop to observe."

Li Shimin nodded: "Go quickly, I'm here."

Are the beasts retreating?

Yes, they really retreated.

But it was not a complete withdrawal, but to get reinforcements.

The telegram was sent to Mancheng, a hundred miles away, which was the headquarters of the Japanese invaders with a radius of 200 miles.

But the distance is more than 100 miles, and even if all the Japanese soldiers ride in trucks, it will take at least an hour to get there.

The competition now is whether the Japanese reinforcements will arrive first, or Yang Cheng’s large force will arrive first.

Hou Junji observed on the roof for a while and found no movement from the Japanese, so he jumped down decisively and checked everyone's injuries.

"Your Majesty, His Highness is still alive, and Pei Xingjian and Di Renjie are also alive."

Li Shimin quickly ran over to check on Li Chengqian's injuries: "The arm is gone, we need to stop the bleeding immediately!!"

Hou Junji took a closer look and said, "It shouldn't be necessary. The bleeding has stopped. He probably hit his head because he didn't wake up."

While the two were talking, Li Chengqian woke up after a cough.

"Cheng Qian, how do you feel?"

Li Chengqian gritted his teeth and sat up, and immediately felt a sharp pain in his arm!

"Sigh~~"

He looked around: "What's going on now?"

Hou Junji moved Pei Xingjian and Di Renjie over: "Except for the four of us, everyone else is dead."

"Where are the devils?"

"The Japs have lost their heavy firepower and have temporarily retreated."

Li Chengqian adjusted his sitting position and rubbed his head with his right arm: "Retreat temporarily..."

"No, they should be going to get help. Help me up."

Li Shimin quickly stopped him: "You are already like this, don't move."

Li Chengqian struggled to stand up, then felt dizzy. The two men rushed forward to support him.

"It's okay, I can't die."

"We have to kill the remaining Japanese before their reinforcements arrive and move the ammunition to a safe place."

Li Shimin frowned: "But there are only three of us left, how can we transfer the arms?"

Just then, heads cautiously popped up on the nearby streets.

They bravely moved closer step by step.

As the number of people increased, their pace gradually quickened.

"Three good men, how can we help you?"

The three of them stared at the people in a daze, feeling somewhat moved.

Li Chengqian said without further ado: "Help us load all the ammunition in the warehouse onto trucks and move them outside the city."

An old man stepped forward and said, "The city gates are closed and there are devils guarding them. We can't get out!!"

Li Chengqian thought for a while and said, "Then hide it in the homes of the villagers. Hide as many as you can. The Eighth Route Army will arrive soon. You can hand it over to them then."

After hearing this, the old man looked at everyone and said, "Fellow villagers, it's time to do something. Move!!"

"Move~~~"

Soon, everyone took action.

The men carried the heavy weapons and artillery shells, the children and women carried the light ones, and the elderly carried grenades in their pockets.

Almost half of the people in the city came to help.

They risked being discovered by the Japanese and continued to move weapons home.

Seeing this, Li Chengqian and his companions stopped paying too much attention to them. There was no way they could think too much at this time.

The three of them had to protect their fellow villagers and not let the Japanese in the city know that they had weapons hidden in their homes.

"Is it still okay?" Li Shimin looked at Li Chengqian worriedly.

"Don't worry, it's just an arm, it's okay."

Li Chengqian held the light machine gun in one hand and glanced at the unconscious Pei Xingjian and Di Renjie.

Now we have no choice but to abandon them.

At this moment, Zhang Erpizi appeared again from somewhere.

"Follow me, quickly."

Li Chengqian pointed at Pei Xingjian and Di Renjie.

Seeing this, Zhang Erpizi carried Di Renjie on his back.

Hou Junji carried Pei Xingjian on his back, and the group each took a light machine gun and followed Zhang Erpi through the streets and alleys, and actually arrived behind the Japanese command headquarters.

"After the battle just now, there are only about 80 Japanese soldiers left. Except for a few guarding the north and south gates, the rest are here."

As he spoke, Zhang Erpi blew a whistle toward the back, and more than a dozen men rushed out.

You can tell at first glance that these people are not capable of fighting. Either they look scoundrelly, or they are extremely skinny, or they look like smokers and bastards.

Anyway, none of them are normal people. You can tell at a glance that they are just idle street urchins.

But at this time, they obeyed Zhang Erpi's leadership without hesitation and came to the rear of the Japanese command headquarters.

"Erpi, tell me what you are going to do!"

A gangster who was obviously addicted to opium said this with drooling eyes.

"Where are the grenades? Take them all with you!!"
