The walls of Shengxian County were very low, making it easy to throw grenades up there.

"Boom boom"

"Bagaya Road."

Aso Akashi was furious.

Earlier, the two sides had exchanged fire, with only one Japanese soldier slightly wounded and two members of the security group killed. However, the guerrillas had been battered to the point of barely raising their heads. But just now, heavy machine gun fire and grenades from the guerrillas had killed two Japanese soldiers and wounded three. The security group suffered even worse, with six men killed.

This amount of casualties may not seem like much, but it is unacceptable to Aso Akashi, who already has insufficient troops.

So he said to Zheng Jinsheng, "Zheng Sang, quickly transfer your security team from the north and west. Just leave one platoon in the north and west."

"Yes."

Chapter 048 Recapture of Sheng County

"Commander, the fighting at the East and South Gates is getting more intense."

"Ah."

Wang Qiuyun and Zhang Dahu led the special forces team to ambush outside the north gate.

Wu Qinghe was at the west gate.

They are all waiting.

They waited for the enemy on the wall to change. Although it was only a county town, it had walls after all, and if they fought, the attackers would suffer many casualties. So they were waiting for Wei Hongjun to attract more enemies.

"It's moving, it's moving."

Zhang Shan, who had been observing in front, came back.

Zhang Shan came over half-crouching because of his height. He said to Wang Qiuyun and Zhang Dahu, "Commander, Chief of Staff, the security forces on the city wall have been mobilized. Most of them have withdrawn, and only a few are left on the wall."

The guerrilla army attacked the city, and the Japanese and puppet troops in the city were very nervous.

Although there were no guerrilla troops at the north and west gates, the puppet troops there did not dare to be careless. Each of them stood on the city wall, keeping an eye on the situation outside. Therefore, changes in their numbers could be easily seen from outside.

"it is good."

Wang Qiuyun was overjoyed.

This time the guerrilla army is trying to create a time difference.

The Japanese army currently has no time to deal with Sheng County, so there are only a few Japanese troops in Sheng County. Wang Qiuyun can only seize this good opportunity. When the Japanese army finishes the fighting on the front line and begins to focus on their occupied areas, the Japanese army will find that the occupied areas are full of anti-Japanese armed forces. In order to stabilize the occupied areas, the Japanese army can only gather troops to sweep behind enemy lines.

Even if Sheng County is not important, if the Japanese army places a squadron of devils in the county town, the guerrilla army will not be able to take it down with its strength.

It's good now.

"Send someone to notify Captain Wu immediately. Attack at 10:20 sharp."

"Yes."

Ten twenty is about twenty-three minutes from now.

Twenty minutes or so was enough time for the security forces to move a long way north and west. Wang Qiuyun was confident that they could capture the north and west gates before they returned.

"Chief of Staff, when the attack begins, bring out our grenade launchers, heavy machine guns, and light machine guns. Suppress their firepower immediately and don't give them any chance to react. We must demoralize the security guards."

"Yes."

"Zhang Shan."

"arrive."

"You'll lead the team this time. After the security team is suppressed by our firepower, there will be a certain amount of time. Use this time for the special forces team to quickly attack and use grenades. Just like we trained before, don't give the enemy any chances. After throwing the grenades, the troops will climb up and occupy the city wall."

"Yes."

"be careful."

There are many hunters in the Zhangjiagou Village area, so there are many new recruits with good marksmanship.

After these days of training, and a few battles in between, Zhang Shan had finally emerged as a force to be reckoned with. He was a brave, skilled marksman, very clever, and willing to learn. Of course, he was being forced into a new role, as he held considerable prestige among the young men of Zhangjiagou Village, and so he was appointed deputy captain of the special forces squad.

Now is the time to test Zhang Shan.

He must go through battle after battle to make himself grow.

Time passed by minute by minute.

Fighting continued fiercely at the East and South Gates. Although the guerrillas were at a disadvantage, suppressed by the Japanese's grenade launchers, heavy machine guns, and superior marksmanship, they still had more men and more guns, and could still launch a counterattack.

And civil work has been going on.

Keep digging trenches and moving forward.

Casualties have been mounting on both sides.

Ten twenty.

When the time came, Wang Qiuyun gave the order: "Attack!"

"Boom boom"

"Da da da"

The guerrilla army's firepower is still very strong.

The simultaneous fire from grenade launchers, heavy machine guns, and light machine guns frightened the security guards on the city wall. They couldn't even raise their heads. The two Japanese soldiers supervising the battle were helpless.

The firepower of the Independence Army is really too strong.

Zhang Shan saw this and immediately shouted, "Follow me!"

Zhang Shan was already an excellent hunter. After joining the army, he had been undergoing military training for nearly two months.

His military skills improved rapidly. He rushed forward like a leopard, and in just a few seconds he was less than ten meters away from the city wall.

Then he immediately took out a grenade and threw it at the city wall.

The people who followed Zhang Shan into the charge were all elite members of the special forces. They also rushed up behind Zhang Shan and threw grenades onto the city wall. By this time, the security group on the city wall had already suffered many casualties.

More importantly, many of them were recruited after the Japanese army was defeated last time.

Before, many people were just ruffians.

I've never seen a war before.

Zhang Shan took a single stride and reached the city wall in a few seconds. With a few more leaps, he climbed up. Although the Sheng County wall was indeed short, it wasn't easy for Zhang Shan to climb it so easily. After all, the wall was five or six meters high.

The others climbed the wall together as they had done in their usual training.

In a few moments, more than a dozen people had climbed up.

"kill"

When the Japanese soldier supervising the battle saw Zhang Shan climbing up, he immediately ran over with his rifle.

Zhang Shan drew his broadsword from his back and charged forward. Standing at just over 5 feet tall, he had grown up in the forest, having fought wild beasts. While the Japanese army's assassination techniques were impressive, they were completely inadequate against someone like Zhang Shan.

Zhang Shan used his broadsword to push away the Japanese bayonet, and then kicked the Japanese soldier out.

Very powerful.

Just as the Japanese soldier was about to get up again, the team member who followed Zhang Shan directly stabbed the Japanese soldier.

Wang Qiuyun saw Zhang Shan had already climbed up and immediately said, "Blow the charge whistle."

There are about 150 special forces here.

Taking advantage of this good opportunity, they charged directly. Less than ten minutes had passed since the battle began and ended, and the special forces had already taken the north gate.

"Hurry up and send a signal outside the city to tell them that we have taken the north gate."

Wang Qiuyun gave orders after entering the city.

The East and South Gates were still engaged in a fierce battle. It was a feint, but once the North and South Gates were breached, a real attack could begin.

"Commander, let's go support the political commissar now."

"No. Zhang Shan, take a squad to the west gate to support Wu Qinghe's troops. And check on their situation."

"Yes."

"Chief of Staff, you take the second squad, leaving some behind to guard the north gate. No one is allowed to leave the city without orders, and then take the others to capture the important places in the city. Especially the Japanese or the former Shanxi-Suiyuan Army's arsenal. We used up so much ammunition in this battle. If we can't replenish it, our losses will be too great."

"Yes."

"The rest of you follow me to support the political commissar."

Wang Qiuyun began to assign tasks.

Zhang Shan was given a squad, and Zhang Dahu a squad of fifty men. The remaining nearly one hundred men followed Wang Qiuyun to support Wei Hongjun in the battle. The news of the attacks on the north and west gates quickly reached Aso Akashi.

Of course, he didn't need anyone to tell him this.

You could tell by the sound of the gunfire. After all, the guerrillas were using grenade launchers, heavy machine guns, and light machine guns. This kind of firepower clearly wasn't from ordinary troops. Aso Akashi understood instantly, gritting his teeth and saying, "Damn it! We've been tricked. The North and West Gates are their targets."

"Mr. Aso, if the north and west gates are taken by the enemy, what should we do?"

Zheng Jinsheng is indeed a second-generation playboy.

But that doesn't mean he's a fool. It's obvious that this time the guerrillas are making a feint to the east and attacking in the west, and their real targets are the north and west gates.

At the North Gate and West Gate, there were only four Japanese soldiers, mainly responsible for supervising the battle. The rest were security guards, with one platoon at each city gate.

How can such a small number of troops stop the guerrilla army?

Zheng Jinsheng was really panicked.

If I were caught by the guerrillas, would I be shot?

"How many people are left in the Imperial Army?"

"Reporting to His Excellency the Lieutenant, not counting those at the North and West Gates, there are currently thirty-seven Imperial Army soldiers remaining at the East and South Gates. Eight of them are wounded, three of them seriously."

"idiot."

Aso Akashi didn't expect that the casualties on his side would be so heavy.

Aso Akashi, the four men at the North and West Gates, had given up hope. But at the East and South Gates, the Japanese had originally numbered forty-three, but now only thirty-seven remained. Six had been killed, and three were seriously wounded.

Although it was a feint attack, the guerrilla army gathered more than 700 guns and fought for nearly an hour. Although the hit rate and efficiency were low, they still caused some casualties to the Japanese army.

"Breakout."
