Above the city tower of Yushe County.

Sou Fujimoto breathed a sigh of relief when he saw that Eighth Route's explosive pack failed to blow through the city wall.

This city wall is the crystallization of the wisdom of the ancient Chinese people and remains strong despite hundreds of years of wind and frost.

I combined it with modern architectural styles to reinforce the city wall, which also had a certain effect.

Two hours had passed since the Eighth Route Army siege began, and Fujimoto became increasingly confident about holding on to the county seat for 12 hours.

To take a step back, even if the Eighth Route Army blows up the city wall, he can still organize soldiers to fight in the streets.

There is also the strong fortress of Yushe Middle School, which cannot even be blasted by mountain cannons, and the killer weapon, poisonous gas, that will not be used until the end.

At the same time, there are aircraft reinforcements in the sky, giving them air superiority.

Fujimoto raised his wrist and looked at the time. The fighter planes of the First Army Aviation Group should be arriving soon.

This is why Fujimoto is so confident and can hold on for 12 hours.

What's more, the Eighth Route Army cannot even pass the city wall.

10 hours, as long as we hold on for another 10 hours, reinforcements will arrive!

"Hold on, hold on!"

"Whoever dares to fight will die!"

Fujimoto drew his command sword and roared angrily at the puppet soldiers who showed fear on their faces.

The city tower had been devastated by artillery bombs, and there were rubble and corpses everywhere.

The Japanese and puppet troops took advantage of the pause in the Eighth Route Army's attack and continued to move ammunition to the city wall and drag bodies down.

…

After two hours of fighting, three waves of kamikaze blasters failed.

The city wall still failed to explode, so Wei Dayong temporarily ordered to stop the attack on the west gate.

One of the great strengths of the Eighth Route Army is that it is good at promoting military democracy, summarizing experiences and lessons, and researching and improving methods.

Except of course Li Yunlong.

Battalion Commander Wei Dayong and three company commanders gathered together to discuss.

"It's really fucking evil." Wang Xikuan, the third company commander, said bitterly, "The city wall is made of copper and iron, and it can't even explode with explosives?"

The first group of suicide squads were wiped out without even touching the city wall.

A soldier in the second group touched the city wall, but was killed by a grenade before he could pull the fuse.

The third group touched the city wall and pulled the fuse, but failed to explode the city wall.

Although the three waves of attacks failed, there was no look of frustration on everyone's faces, and they had no intention of retreating. Instead, they showed fierce expressions.

The war has reached this level, even if we try our best, we still have to win the county seat!

Wei Dayong narrowed his eyes slightly. This battle was the hardest nut the special operations battalion had encountered since its establishment.

The previous battles were fought smoothly, with almost no suspense, and all the Japanese and traitors were killed.

The Japs and traitors on the tower suffered heavy casualties, but they still resisted desperately. The tenacious willpower of the Japanese army was fully demonstrated at this moment.

"Battal Commander, I just looked in the other three directions, but the attacks were not going well." Liu Dali ran over and said, "The regiment commander asked Yao Shangwu to use the mountain cannon to aim at the enemy's fire points and shoot directly at the two fire points on the tower.

, but the Japanese and traitors have also learned a lesson, just take a shuttle and change places."

This method is useful, but the effect is limited. Japanese traitors are not fools, and they will not just stand there and let you beat them.

"Battal Commander, I'll take my men and charge again!" Wang Xikuan, the third company commander, said, "Maybe the explosion just now has loosened the city wall, and another explosion might break it open."

"What if it still can't be exploded?" Wei Dayong asked, "If we send in more blasters, how many blasters do you still have in the 3rd company?"

"Even if our 3rd company fights to the last man, we will still open a bloody path for the large army!" Wang Xikuan's expression flashed sternly.

"The 3rd company is all gone, our 2nd company is on top!"

"Company 3 and Company 2 are all gone, and we still have Company 1!"

1st Company Commander Zhang Qing and 2nd Company Commander Meng Fugui also expressed their stance.

"If you all work hard, won't I become a mere commander?" Wei Dayong said angrily.

Liu Dali said: "The Japanese reinforcements must be on the way. We don't have much time. We must capture the county seat as soon as possible."

If the tactics of refueling are used, the enemy and traitor forces in the city will be empty and cannot be used by the independent regiment.

But the independent group cannot afford to delay.

what to do?

For a moment, everyone had no idea.

At this time, Wang Gensheng bowed and touched him from behind.

"Battal Commander, I made the explosive pack you asked me to make!" Wang Gensheng said to Wei Dayong.

Everyone turned around to see Wang Gensheng holding an extra-large round explosive bag.

"Okay." Wei Dayong looked slightly happy.

This is the explosive package Wei Dayong asked Wang Gensheng to make using the explosives seized from Guanshan Town just in case.

Wei Dayong had already upgraded Wang Gensheng's blasting skills to [Destruction Proficiency]. He could make simple time bombs, not to mention explosive packs.

This time, instead of the original black powder, the more powerful TNT high explosive was used.

Explosive packets made from this kind of explosive are not nearly as powerful as explosive packets made from black powder in the border area.

And the volume is quite large, at least a dozen kilograms!

"Get on the flying thunder cannon!"

Wei Dayong looked up at the city wall and ordered without hesitation.

"Gensheng, take people to build flying thunder cannon positions 200 meters and 150 meters away from the city wall."

"Mortars and machine guns will cover you, and I will use mountain cannons to fire smoke bombs at the city gate tower to buy you time."

"yes!"

Wang Gensheng replied without hesitation.

"fire!"

The artillery battery took the lead in starting the bombardment.

Mortar shells landed on the city wall one after another, followed by a series of explosions. The Japanese and traitors hid behind bunkers and shivered.

Later, Wei Dayong used a mountain cannon to fire three smoke bombs in succession, hitting the gate of the city tower.

As the white smoke dispersed, the west city gate tower was suddenly shrouded in smoke.

The Japs and traitors thought it was a gas bomb, their faces changed drastically, and they covered their mouths and noses and ran away.

Taking advantage of the fact that the sight of the Japs and puppet troops above Chenlou was blocked, Wang Gensheng and the fourth demolition team jumped out from behind the slope with their thunder cannons and oil barrels.

Then, a dozen more soldiers holding engineer shovels and carrying sandbags filled with soil followed closely behind.

"Get ready to take cover!"

Wei Dayong and the soldiers stared closely at the tower.

Therefore, before the smoke on the tower cleared, Wang Gensheng led the demolition team to a position 180 meters away from the tower.

The soldiers built a simple fortification with sandbags.

The engineers began to use engineering shovels to dig on the spot and build a mine and artillery position.

As the smoke gradually dissipated, the Japanese traitors on the tower also discovered the small movements of the Eighth Route Army below the city.

Immediately, several soldiers digging were hit by machine guns.

The soldier fell down, and the surviving soldiers went up to dig in.

Even though there was a defense built up with sandbags, because the enemy was on top of the tower and fired downwards with machine guns, half of the soldiers' bodies were within the enemy's firing range.

At the same time, machine guns and mortars from the special operations battalion opened fire to provide cover.

The dense bullets and artillery shells were so heavy that the Japanese and puppet troops on the tower could not lift their heads.
