At the same time, in Baoshan City.
Yao Ziqing, who was puzzled by the Japanese army's delay in launching an attack, heard the sound of intensive gunfire coming from the west of the city.
The company commander beside him also heard it and immediately said with a happy expression,"Camp Leader, did you hear that? It's from the west of the city. There are gunshots and shouts. Could it be that our reinforcements have arrived?”
Yao Ziqing listened for a while and said decisively,"It's strange that the devils haven't attacked yet. Now, there are sounds of fighting coming from outside the city. It's most likely that our reinforcements have arrived. Gather the troops and follow me to launch a counterattack at the west gate.”
Although Yao Ziqing was also very puzzled as to why reinforcements would come, the truth was right in front of him. The opportunity was fleeting, and he did not have time to think too much or hesitate.
The company commander immediately agreed. Soon, he gathered nearly 300 soldiers, leaving less than 200 people in other directions to feint and contain the Japanese forces.
The nearly 300 elite soldiers quickly gathered in position. Yao Ziqing held a Mauser pistol and shouted at them,"Brothers, I'm sure you've all heard the sounds of fighting outside the west gate. That should be our reinforcements. It's time for a fight to the death. Kill!"
Under the lead of a few platoon leaders, the soldiers roared in response and followed him towards the west gate.
The devil who blocked the west gate was also wondering why there was a sound of fighting behind him. He called the command center of the regiment, but he did not get a response. It turned out that Xu Guoren had already led the troops and rushed to the command center of the 68th Infantry Regiment.
A wave of intensive gunfire immediately turned the Japanese soldiers, guards, and staffers into sifts.
The command center of the 68th Infantry Regiment was completely destroyed.
That was why the devils at the west gate did not receive any response.
Yao Ziqing's counterattack was launched.
Nearly 300 soldiers swarmed over fearlessly, firing all kinds of heavy and light weapons in their hands.
The dense hail of bullets caught the distracted Japanese off guard. The Japanese did not have a unified command and did not know what was going on behind them. Under such circumstances, they hurriedly fought.
Their combat strength was naturally greatly reduced. After a short battle, they were forced out of the west Urban area of Baoshan City by Yao Ziqing's soldiers.
Yao Ziqing's lost position was slowly being taken back. However, after the remaining devils left the city, they were immediately attacked by hundreds of soldiers led by Xu Guoren.
After taking out the devil's artillery position and command post, Xu Guoren and Niu Dagen were divided into two groups. He personally led the troops to attack the Japanese army at the west gate, while Niu Dagen went to attack the devil outside the south gate.
This group of Japanese soldiers had never expected that so many Chinese soldiers would already be charging over.
He was immediately stopped by Xu Guoren and the others and attacked head-on.
Yao Ziqing also led his soldiers to rush out of the city in time. Under two pincer attacks, the remaining 200-odd Japanese soldiers were instantly trapped in a dangerous situation. Under the dense firepower, they fell like grass.
Ten minutes later, the Japanese were completely annihilated.
At this point, the 68th Infantry Regiment had already been wiped out by Xu Guoren's Dragon Shadow Brigade, and the command post and artillery positions had all fallen.
Counting the number of enemies that Yao Ziqing had killed and injured in the past two days, the 68th Infantry Regiment had already lost nearly two-thirds of their forces.
"Which division are you from?" After the two sides met, Yao Ziqing came to Xu Guoren excitedly. He was surprised to see that they were wearing the uniform of the security team and not the Central Army.
He had never expected that a local security team would dare to break through the siege and come to reinforce them.
"Don't ask who we are. You only need to know that we are all soldiers of the Celestial Empire, and we are here to kill the Japanese. Our other troops are attacking the south gate, and now I'm going to attack the north gate. Please order the troops in the city to counterattack.”Xu Guoren glanced at Yao Ziqing, who was wearing glasses. He thought that this person should be the famous anti-Japanese hero, Yao Ziqing.
However, the military situation was urgent, and Xu Guoren did not have time to chat with him. He could only make arrangements quickly.
Then, without waiting for Yao Ziqing to agree, he turned his head and shouted,"Brothers, follow me and continue to attack. Annihilate the Japanese invaders!”
"Annihilate the Japanese invaders!"
"Annihilate the Japanese invaders!"
"Annihilate the Japanese invaders!" The soldiers who were already red with blood roared in response to Xu Guoren. Then, they turned around and followed Xu Guoren to the north of the city.
Yao Ziqing was stunned by Xu Guoren's series of arrangements. Soon, he was awakened by the roars of the Dragon Shadow soldiers.
He glanced at Xu Guoren's back, turned around, and ordered,"Come, follow me back to the city. We will launch a counterattack from the city and work with them to defeat the Japanese!”
The soldiers of the 3rd Battalion, whose morale had been boosted by the victory, also responded loudly and followed Yao Ziqing back into the city.
Including Yao Ziqing, all the soldiers in Baoshan City probably didn't expect that they could wipe out the Japanese army outside the city in one go.
After all, they had been surrounded by the Japanese army and were in a precarious situation.
There were no more devils outside Ximen City. After returning to the city, Yao Ziqing immediately ordered his nearly 300 men to split into three groups to join the remaining troops in the city. They launched a counterattack against the Japanese troops at the East Gate, North Gate, and South Gate.
The Japanese were completely stunned by the sudden change because Xu Guoren and Niu Dagen's troops came from their command center.
Therefore, the devils at the south and north gates were caught off guard.
In the battle between the two sides, the Japanese army simply collapsed at once, completely beaten up by the Dragon Shadow Battalion.
At this moment, the Dragon Shadow unit was no weaker than the Japanese army in terms of weapons, equipment, and mental strength. With the power of victory, it was naturally easy for them to deal with the remaining Japanese troops who had lost their unified command and the connection between the various departments.
In addition, Yao Ziqing's troops launched a counter-charge from the city. The Japanese army, which was attacked from both sides, quickly suffered heavy casualties. They retreated along the city wall and toward the east gate.
Yao Ziqing's soldiers pursued along the city wall and the nearby residential streets. Xu Guoren and Niu Dagen led the main force to pursue around the city and headed straight for the east gate.
Both of them were super soldiers. There was no need to make an agreement in advance. They knew that as long as they blocked the east gate, they could wipe out the Japanese army.
Soon, nearly 1,000 Dragon Shadow soldiers arrived outside the East Gate at the same time. The Japanese troops at the East Gate were the least, and now they were being chased by the counterattack troops in the city, unable to escape.
Xu Guoren and Niu Dagen led their troops to attack from the left and right, pouncing forward like ferocious tigers.
Soon, they were all wiped out on the spot. Then, the remaining Japanese soldiers who had fled along the city wall from the south and north gates arrived. Both sides immediately erupted with intense looting.
However, very soon, the pursuit troops of the Baoshan garrison also arrived from the rear of the Japanese army, and the Dragon Shadow Brigade attacked from both front and back, causing the Japanese army to fall into a desperate situation.
Although the devils fought back desperately, under the command of Xu Guoren and Niu Dagen, the Chinese army had an absolute advantage in strength. The Japanese army's many counterattacks ended in failure. In the end, Xu Guoren and Yao Ziqing joined forces to annihilate them in the city.
