Temporary command room in Ping'an County.

Figures were rushing in and out of the command room.

Outside, there were continuous gunshots and artillery fire.

Every time a shell exploded, the house shook, and many stickers and pendants on the wall swayed.

"Boss, several Japanese tanks have entered the city. The 772nd Regiment has suffered nearly 30% casualties. They are almost unable to hold on."

Song Yi quickly told the man in the coat the news, his tone hurried and his face heavy.

The battle had only been going on for two hours, and many positions outside Ping'an County were already in name only. Many soldiers had already come face to face with the Japanese and had entered the most brutal stage of street fighting.

The periphery did not stop the Japanese mechanized troops for too long. It was just street fighting. The Japanese had tanks, and as long as they were discovered, they could only retreat, and their living space became smaller and smaller.

When the soldiers wanted to blow up the tanks, the Japanese hiding behind the tanks would immediately come out and shoot, and they would not go to the deep trenches, which prevented them from getting close to the tanks.

"The current advance doesn't count. Have the 772nd Regiment retreat to the buildings behind the north side of the city. The Japanese tanks can come in. Don't let the Japanese coordinate with the tanks so smoothly. Find a way to defeat the Japanese who enter the city."

The boss looked at the map of Ping'an County and said in a serious tone.

He knew that the Japanese tanks were armored and could be left in the middle of the road with just a bundle of grenades, but right now, the Japanese infantry-tank coordination was really giving him a headache.

"Is there any news about Lin Tianchen?"

"There's no news yet, but the Fourth Brigade hasn't broken through the Soul-Suppressing Pass yet."

Song Yi looked at the telegrams and news from various places, but there was no news about the Tiger Guards. Only after he actually came into contact with the Japanese did he understand how difficult it was for Lin Tianchen to achieve those victories.

Especially the mechanized forces of the Japanese army, it was a battle between flesh and steel beasts, resulting in a crushing defeat. If they continued to fight like this, let alone defending Ping'an County, once the 4th Brigade arrived, I'm afraid the entire Ping'an County would be caught in a trap.

Moreover, judging from the offensive of the mechanized troops, it is clear that they are beginning to strengthen the coordination between infantry and tanks.

Artillery fire began to fall on the city, accompanied by steady advances by tanks.

"Use street fighting to delay it until Lin Tianchen arrives."

The boss' tone was very firm. Upon hearing that, Song Yi nodded vigorously.

The key to breaking the deadlock now lies in Lin Tianchen. All they can do now is to involve the Japanese.

After all, this mechanized force is a bit too fuel-efficient. The soldiers' advance is always accompanied by tanks, which makes it difficult for them to fight in street battles.

But at this moment, suddenly both of them felt the ground shaking, a huge roar, and a sudden explosion.

"Hurry and find out what happened..."

The two looked at each other for a moment, their eyes lighting up slightly.

.......

...

The main gate of Ping'an County.

The air was filled with smoke and a strong smell of gunpowder. The flash of fire from the metal friction of the iron box had no effect on the advancement at all.

As soon as a shell was fired, the house began to collapse.

The heavy machine gun on the tank began to fire wildly in the direction from which the bullets came.

Behind him, there were some Japanese soldiers following, looking around vigilantly, occasionally sticking their heads out to fire a shot, and then immediately hiding behind the tank.

The bullets hit the Japanese tanks, causing a lot of sparks. Even though these tanks were covered with bullet holes, they could not penetrate his armor.

"Old Li, if we keep fighting like this, not only will more than half of the regiment be killed or wounded, but we might also..."

Zhao Gang raised his gun and fired a shot, and a Japanese soldier fell to the ground.

But soon after he fired the shot, a shell exploded next to him, and the stone blockade burst open, and the scattered rubble injured many soldiers on the position.

Throughout the entire battle, the Japanese mechanized forces' fire suppression and the coordination between infantry and tanks were excellent.

Although there were no fighter planes in the sky, sometimes, as long as the Japanese soldiers near the tanks found something unusual, they would immediately respond and order the tanks to retreat, and then bombard them with artillery shells.

"Damn it, if I had weapons to fight tanks, I wouldn't be beaten like this by these beasts!" Li Yunlong shouted loudly, holding three boxes and firing at the Japanese soldiers beside the city wall.

"Commander, this tank is in my hands."

Before Li Yunlong could react, a figure quickly ran out. Li Yunlong looked at the explosives in the soldier's hand, gritted his teeth and said:

"Covering fire, draw the guns over here!"

As the sound was heard, the gunshots became denser in an instant. Even if they could not penetrate the Japanese tanks, they were still firing bullets at the tanks in front.

The soldier holding the explosive pack had just run a distance when the Japanese bullet passed through his body.

"Captain, I'll go." Not long after the figure fell, another soldier on the position ran out and approached using the cover.

He approached the fallen soldier, picked up the explosive pack, leaned against the broken eaves and walls, then leaped out and pulled the fuse.

A huge explosion sounded and the scene fell silent.

Li Yunlong looked at the dust that was raised with an extremely ugly look, because he heard the roar again.

"Damn it, I didn't bomb the right spot..."

Li Yunlong watched with gritted teeth, and the soldier beside him felt heavy-hearted.

Just at this moment, there was a sudden loud noise, and Li Yunlong immediately looked for the source of the sound.

"Is there anyone still on the tower? What happened?"

After the huge noise, Li Yunlong heard continuous roars.

"It seems like the Japanese artillery position has been destroyed..."

Suddenly, an uncertain voice came from the city wall. As soon as the voice came out, Li Yunlong's eyes lit up instantly.

"Someone's shelling those tanks. They're hitting them accurately. Some of the tough ones are down..."

"There are more cavalrymen coming out. They seem to have thrown something at that iron turtle. It's on fire..."

The intermittent sounds coming from the city wall made Li Yunlong more confident.

"Damn it, I finally made it out alive."

Li Yunlong muttered something in his heart, and then his eyes turned red, filled with murderous intent.

"kill!!"
