Meanwhile, the battle at Niangziguan Town was also drawing to a close.
The 5th and 6th Infantry Regiments attacked Niangziguan Town simultaneously from the east and west passes!
The Japanese soldiers in Niangziguan Town put up a stubborn resistance!
They hid behind the city walls and fired grenades from grenade launchers at the Chinese army outside the city!
Fire on the soldiers charging at the front!
What awaits them is a merciless counterattack!
"You little devils, prepare to die—!!!"
"Da da da da da da da—!"
"Da da da da da da da da—!!"
"Da da da da da da da da—!!!"
Soldiers from the 5th and 6th Infantry Regiments opened fire on the Japanese soldiers with machine guns!
"Whoosh whoosh whoosh whoosh whoosh whoosh whoosh whoosh whoosh whoosh!"
Rows of Type 94 90mm light mortar shells landed precisely on the city wall, blasting it to smithereens!
Soldiers from the 5th and 6th Infantry Regiments, carrying light machine guns and grenades, charged up the city wall!
"You little devils, die—!!!"
"Aa ...
The Japanese soldiers screamed and resisted with their bayonets, but it was no use!
They were no match for the soldiers of the North China Field Army!
After the soldiers of the 5th and 6th Infantry Regiments rushed to the top of the city wall, they first unleashed a barrage of grenades, then raised their light machine guns and fired wildly, killing the Japanese soldiers!
"puff--!"
"Pfft—!!"
"Puff puff puff—!!!"
"Puff puff puff puff puff—!!!!"
Bullets hit the Japanese soldiers one by one, and then exploded!
Smash those Japanese devils' heads!
The Japanese soldiers lay on the ground, struggling incessantly!
Dozens of Japanese soldiers who were not quite dead yet saw the soldiers of the 5th and 6th Infantry Regiments rushing onto the city wall and immediately raised their Type 38 rifles and fired at them!
"Da da da da da da da da da—!"
"Da da da da da da da da da da—!!"
They pulled the trigger and fired the bullets!
But……
They're too slow!
The soldiers of the 5th and 6th Infantry Regiments, who had already stormed the city walls, immediately opened fire on them with their light machine guns!
"Da da ...
"puff--!"
"Pfft pfft—!"
"Puff puff puff—!"
"Puff puff puff puff puff—!"
The bullets hit the Japanese soldiers in the head, blowing their skulls apart!
These little devils fell on the city wall!
Their bodies were trampled by the soldiers behind them!
As the Japanese soldiers fell one after another, the soldiers of the 5th and 6th Infantry Regiments occupied Niangziguan Town and brought it under their control!
Inside Niangziguan Town, all the remaining Japanese soldiers were wiped out with hand grenades!
Lu Wenchang didn't stand on ceremony and directly built a Jingguan (a mound of skulls) in the very center for the Japanese devils, as a warning to them that this was the consequence of invading China!
"Commander! Urgent telegram—!!!"
2nd Infantry Division Forward Command Post.
Political Commissar Wu Jianye walked over with a telegram and handed it to Lin Wenbing, saying, "We've just received the latest intelligence!"
"The Japanese 36th Division, 37th Division, 16th Brigade, and the 1st, 2nd, 3rd, and 4th Puppet Army Divisions have already encircled us!!!"
"Among them, the 36th Division left Meng County and the 37th Division left Pingding. They are expected to arrive at the north side of Niangziguan in an hour."
"The 16th Brigade and the 1st Puppet Army Division will come from the west, while the 2nd, 3rd, and 4th Puppet Army Divisions will come from the south."
"That means our only way out is to the east!!!"
Lin Wenbing nodded. "Order the troops to immediately move towards the 11th Motorized Infantry Division in Jingxing!"
Wu Jianye was startled. "Commander, so fast?? Aren't you going to clean up yet???"
"What are you hitting me for!"
"Our North China Field Army has never lacked weapons and ammunition, okay?!"
"Our most important task now is to break through the encirclement, not to waste time here with the Japanese devils, understand?"
Wu Jianye was taken aback for a moment, then saluted, "Yes, Commander!"
After Wu Jianye finished speaking, he ran out of the command post to relay the order!
Soon, the 2nd Infantry Division began to withdraw eastward, heading straight for the 11th Motorized Infantry Division in Jingxing!
………………………………
August 11, 1930, early morning.
A plain northwest of Jingxing.
The Zhengtai Railway lies here, like a winding, coiling dragon.
A gentle night breeze caressed the earth, carrying the scent of grass and trees into the air, making one feel refreshed and relaxed.
"Waaaaah—!"
A whistle pierced the sky, startling the sleeping insects in the distance.
From afar, a military train full of Japanese soldiers could be seen slowly approaching.
Its headlights shone white, illuminating the pitch-black road ahead, while thick smoke billowed up from behind, spreading all around...
At that moment, a figure emerged from the trench, observed the military train through binoculars, and grinned, revealing a playful smile.
"Good heavens, a whole twenty carriages, there must be at least several hundred Japanese soldiers inside."
This man is Xu Shaoqun, the commander of the 41st Infantry Regiment.
"Brothers, grab your weapons and get to work!"
As the voice faded, a series of responses echoed from the trench, and then figures poked their heads out, staring straight ahead.
The military train was very close; we could see the Japanese soldiers sitting in the carriages, singing songs that weren't actually songs from Japan.
