The Special Operations Brigade, carrying so many supplies, had only two main directions to move:

　　Towards Yi County or towards Hancheng.

　　To coordinate with the ships transporting supplies by water.

　　Lin Fan, of course, chose to lead the team to attack Hancheng.

　　There were two advantages to doing so: capturing Hancheng.

　　The threat west of Taierzhuang could be largely eliminated.

　　In addition, the Special Operations Brigade had seized so much grain, weapons, and ammunition that needed to be unloaded.

　　It was possible to send these supplies to the opposite shore of Weishan Lake, but there were no Special Operations Brigade personnel in those areas.

　　Lin Fan decided that it would be better to keep these supplies in his own hands and distribute them to the teams truly fighting the war.

　　Fujioka Shō, the battalion commander who had received orders to recapture Lincheng before six o'clock, led his entire battalion on a forced march.

　　He had to fulfill the order of Division Commander Isogai Rensuke.

　　In reality, he didn't think this task would be too difficult.

　　After all, according to the reports from the fleeing puppet troops:

　　The number of National Revolutionary Army soldiers attacking Lincheng was small.

　　This indicated that a small team was attacking Lincheng.

　　By now, that team had probably abandoned Lincheng and fled!

　　Battalion Commander Fujioka Shō thought to himself.

　　They had seen too many such guerrillas when they were in the Northeast.

　　Over the years, countless similar incidents had occurred in the Northeast.

　　Guerrillas would suddenly rush out of the mountains, attack towns, and run away with supplies.

　　Just as Battalion Commander Fujioka Shō was thinking this, his team could already see the walls of Lincheng.

　　When the Japanese had occupied Lincheng before, they had rushed into the city without any effort.

　　Therefore, the city walls were intact, unlike Teng County, where the entire county's walls were riddled with holes.

　　However, Battalion Commander Fujioka Shō was somewhat frustrated that the scene he expected—the guerrillas having retreated—had not appeared.

　　Instead, he saw the drawbridge raised high, the city gates tightly closed, and soldiers on the city walls.

　　This enraged Battalion Commander Fujioka Shō: Did these guerrillas want to defend the isolated city?

　　Without the slightest hesitation, Battalion Commander Fujioka Shō ordered:

　　"The Koyama Arata Company, attack immediately!"

　　"Hai!" Company Commander Koyama Arata stood at attention and saluted.

　　Turning around, he ordered his men: "Attack!"

　　Hua Deze was greatly disappointed when he saw only a hundred or so Japanese soldiers charging forward.

　　He had hoped to see the entire Japanese battalion press forward, so he could eliminate them in one wave.

　　Since the Japanese weren't fighting the way he wanted, Company Commander Hua Deze could only passively accept it.

　　He ordered: "Pay attention to concealment, don't get hit by the Japanese."

　　Even before he finished speaking, Battalion Commander Fujioka Shō was directing the artillery to begin bombardment.

　　Although it was an infantry battalion, it still had two infantry guns.

　　The entire battalion also had five mortars.

　　Now these guns began bombarding the south gate.

　　Watching the shells hit the city walls, Battalion Commander Fujioka Shō felt a little awkward:

　　"We didn't fire a single shell the first time we occupied Lincheng.

　　This time, fighting guerrillas, we even have to use guns and cannons."

　　Something even more awkward was happening.

　　Company Commander Hua Deze only wanted to lure the Japanese under the city walls to blow them up.

　t want to be bombarded himself, so he didn't order the company's artillery to bombard the Japanese.

　　As a result, his good intentions were misunderstood by the Japanese.

　　How could they tolerate the Japanese daring to bombard them with shells?

　　Company Commander Hua Deze ordered: "The entire company's mortars and infantry guns suppress the enemy's artillery fire."

　　The Second Company was stationed on the city walls, standing high and seeing far.

　　The Japanese soldiers of the Fujioka Shō Battalion could see the city walls.

　　The Second Company on the city walls could also see them.

　　The Second Company also had two infantry guns, but it had one more mortar than the Japanese, with six.

　　The two sides now began exchanging fire.

　　The Special Operations Brigade had never lacked artillery shells.

　　Not to mention, they had just received so many supplies at the Lincheng North Station.

　　The officers and soldiers of the Second Company, who hadn't fought in half a month, were now excited.

　　Especially Wang Mu, Chen Xinshi, and the others who operated the mortars.

　　Their movements were like flowing water, strictly following the requirements, constantly firing at the distant Japanese artillery positions.

　　At this time, the strength of the two sides was similar, and what mattered was speed and accuracy.

　　And Lin Fan had emphasized this when Wang Mu, Chen Xinshi, and the others had just joined the Special Operations Brigade: Everything should be based on actual combat, don't be afraid of getting hurt during training, don't be afraid of wasting resources.

　　All sharpshooters are trained with bullets.

　　The Special Operations Brigade had always been strict with live ammunition training, focusing on the needs of actual combat.

　　Today's artillery duel showed the results.

　　The Japanese soldiers of the Fujioka Shō Battalion were not raw recruits; they were all seasoned veterans.

　　Over the years, they had been constantly suppressing the Anti-Japanese Allied Army in the Northeast.

　　The Japanese artillery had been forged on the battlefield.

　　The artillery of the Second Company were not hothouse flowers either.

　　Although they had fired more shells in training than in actual combat, they had also participated in many major and fierce battles.

　　The entire Special Operations Brigade was a team established and grown in battle.

　　When the artillery battle had been going on for three minutes, Battalion Commander Fujioka Shō watched three shells explode in his artillery position.

　　One mortar after another stopped firing, and two infantry guns were overturned.

　　Did this mean that his battalion had no power to fight back?

　　No!

　　Judging from the intensity of the defending team's artillery fire, their artillery was strong.

　　But until now, the infantry on the city walls had not fired a single shot.

　　Battalion Commander Fujioka Shō decided to take a gamble.

　　The Koyama Arata Company, which had received orders to attack Lincheng, had now reached a position one hundred meters from the city walls.

　　This was a very suitable distance for shooting from the city walls.

　　But the defending soldiers on the city walls remained unmoved.

　　This gave Battalion Commander Fujioka Shō endless imagination.

　　He shouted loudly: "Charge!"

　　Wasn't the purpose of his artillery bombardment of the city walls to prevent the defending soldiers from firing on the infantry?

　　Now, although the entire battalion's artillery had been wiped out, the goal had still been achieved.

　　The city walls really hadn't opened fire.

　　Company Commander Koyama Arata, who had charged to the edge of the moat, wondered: What kind of team was defending the city?

　　They still weren't firing at this point!

　　The defending soldiers not firing made this company's charge unsettling.

　　However, he looked back and saw the entire battalion charging.

　　The uneasiness in his heart subsided.

　　With the support of a team of over a thousand Japanese soldiers behind him, every Japanese soldier in the Koyama Arata Company felt at ease.

　　They charged to the edge of the moat and successfully erected three bridge across it.

　　More than a hundred Japanese soldiers quickly rushed to the foot of the city walls along the three bridges.

　　Now was the time to set up the siege ladders and climb the city walls.

　　The time had come for these Japanese soldiers to reach the pinnacle of their lives.

　　Every time they attacked a city, the first Japanese soldier to climb the city walls, as long as they were lucky enough to survive, would be the hero of the entire team.

　　Now, all the Japanese soldiers in the Koyama Arata Company wanted to seize this position.

　　Company Commander Hua Deze saw that the Japanese soldiers had charged to the foot of the city walls.

　　Three siege ladders were being erected.

　　He simply gave the order: "Throw the bombs!"

　　At this time, there were more than a hundred Japanese soldiers under the city walls.

　　There were too many Japanese soldiers to send away, and hand grenades were too weak.

　　The Special Operations Brigade's specially made bombs were the most effective.

　　These bombs were specifically made for this situation.

　　A very simple modification: wrapping a layer of iron pellets around the outside of the explosive pack.

　　Throwing them down the city walls, after the bombs exploded.

　　The iron pellets would shoot out in all directions, and without the protection of the city walls.

　　The Second Company soldiers standing on the city walls throwing these bombs were also targets of these iron pellets.

　　In reality, the Second Company only threw three bombs down from the city walls.

　　Three bombs each packed with two kilograms of explosives and five kilograms of iron pellets.

　　Three explosive packs that shot out countless iron pellets in all directions, with no blind spots.

　　Immediately sent the Koyama Arata Company, who were dreaming of becoming heroes under the city walls, straight to hell.

　　These Japanese soldiers of the Koyama Arata Company, who were in the midst of a dream, were immersed in the fantasy of soon climbing the city walls and enjoying unparalleled glory.

　　Suddenly, they saw the defending soldiers, who hadn't fired a single shot, throwing down three explosive packs.

　　Before they had any reaction, the three explosives detonated simultaneously.

　　"Boom!"

　　Only a single sound allowed Battalion Commander Fujioka Shō, who was charging, to see everything that happened under the city walls.

　　The scene in front of the city walls was like a slow-motion replay.

　　The fire slowly spread out, expanding from small to large.

　　The Japanese soldiers of the Koyama Arata Company, with exaggerated movements, flew upward in the expansion of the fire.

　　Some Japanese soldiers quickly retreated backward.

　　Some Japanese soldiers were still flailing their arms and legs in the air.

　　After these slow-motion movements, there wasn't a single Japanese soldier standing under the city walls anymore.

　　The Fujioka Shō Battalion, which had charged to within three hundred meters of the city walls.

　　Now found itself in an awkward situation: Advance!

　　The example of the Koyama Arata Company was right in front of them; the entire company of more than a hundred Japanese soldiers was lying at the foot of the city walls.

　　Retreat!

　　The defending soldiers on the city walls were very friendly and hadn't fired a single shot until now.

　　At this time, Battalion Commander Fujioka Shō absolutely wouldn't believe that the defending soldiers on the city walls were out of ammunition.

　　He had only one thought in his mind: These defending soldiers were too cunning.

　　They had no martial ethics at all.

　　There was no warning beforehand, and no signs in the middle of the fight; they directly used a weapon of mass destruction.

　　They had sent nearly two hundred Japanese soldiers to their deaths in one fell swoop.

　　This kind of thing that had never happened before had happened to him.

　　What should he do now?

　　Company Commander Hua Deze was happy: One move to defeat the enemy.

　　Nearly two hundred Japanese soldiers had been wiped out.

　　Now he had only one thought: "Come on! Keep coming!

　　I promise not to fire first!"

　　Battalion Commander Fujioka Shō finally decided to probe the situation on the spot.

　　He ordered the remaining Japanese soldiers to gather their grenade launchers.

　　First, they would bombard the city walls.

　　The range of the grenade launcher was limited and couldn't be compared to mortars and infantry guns.

　　But its power wasn't less than those two weapons.

　　A distance of three hundred meters was within the range of the grenade launcher.

　　Standing on the city walls and looking at the enemy: Every move of the Japanese soldiers could be seen clearly.

　　Before the Japanese grenade launchers could fire.

　　Hua Deze had already ordered the Second Company to start attacking.

　　Mortars and infantry guns were weapons that had already appeared.

　　Six heavy machine guns and ten light machine guns all opened fire together.

　　Firing at the Japanese soldiers three hundred meters away.

　　From the bottom of his heart, Company Commander Hua Deze really didn't want to attack the Japanese soldiers at this time.

　　He was always afraid of attacking the Japanese soldiers too hard: What if the Japanese soldiers ran away?

　　But the Japanese soldiers wanted to use grenade launchers to deal with them.

　　The Second Company had no choice but to do this; otherwise, if they were bombarded by the Japanese grenade launchers and someone was injured, Company Commander Hua Deze couldn't tolerate it.

　　As soon as the shooting from the city walls began, the drawbridge on the city gate was lowered.

　　The south gate of Lincheng was also opened.

　　The Second Company Commander was preparing to go out of the city to pursue and kill.

　　The Japanese soldiers of the Fujioka Shō Battalion suddenly faced such powerful firepower from the defending soldiers.

　　This was completely like suppression from their bloodline.

　　Their grenade launcher operators had just started preparing when they became the focus of attention.

　　"Counterattack! Counterattack!" Battalion Commander Fujioka Shō shouted loudly while crawling on the ground.

　　His battalion had heavy machine guns and light machine guns.

　　The entire battalion still had eight or nine hundred Japanese soldiers.

　　So many Japanese soldiers and hundreds of rifles were also a powerful source of firepower support.

　　The Japanese soldiers of the Fujioka Shō Battalion excitedly saw that when they really started to counterattack.

　　The firepower from the city walls suddenly decreased a lot.

　　The Japanese soldiers were still resisting!

　　This reassured Company Commander Hua Deze a lot.

　　Resistance meant that these Japanese soldiers hadn't given up yet and still had illusions.

　　Japanese soldiers with illusions were good!

　　Company Commander Hua Deze withdrew all six heavy machine guns.

　　Five of the ten light machine guns were also withdrawn.

　　All these weapons retreated to the bottom of the city, preparing to rush out of the city gate.

　　Company Commander Koyama Arata, lying under the city walls, hadn't died yet.

　　He looked up at the sky, his eyes dull, watching the fire lines flying in the air.

　　At this time, Company Commander Koyama Arata could clearly feel his hands hurting, his feet aching, and his whole body in pain.

　　He could also feel that no matter how the March sun shone, he only felt cold.

　　Not all the Japanese soldiers in his company had returned to the embrace of Amaterasu Omikami.

　　Many Japanese soldiers were still wailing and groaning.

　　These sounds were automatically ignored by Company Commander Koyama Arata.

　　He only watched the fire lines flying out from the top of the city walls and the "tuk! tuk! tuk!" sounds of the machine guns firing.

　　This sound was the sound of the empire's heavy machine guns firing.

　　At this time, Company Commander Koyama Arata could hear it especially clearly.

　　He could distinguish that there were six heavy machine guns on the city walls.

　　But these six heavy machine guns could have stopped the entire company outside a hundred meters if they had opened fire when he had just launched the attack.

　　But the defending soldiers on the city walls didn't do that.

　　They had set a trap!

　　These cunning defending soldiers.

　　Company Commander Koyama Arata could hear the "tuk tuk" sounds from the city walls stop.

　　At this time, he really wanted to be able to stand up and say to Battalion Commander Fujioka Shō: "Run!"

　　Unfortunately, at this time, besides his brain being particularly clear.

　　There wasn't a single part of his body that could support him to stand up.

　　The defending soldiers on the city walls had been hiding their strength and must have been harboring evil intentions.

　　In this situation, running was the best decision.

　　Battalion Commander Fujioka Shō and his Japanese soldiers obviously didn't think so.

　　They had just started to counterattack, and the gunshots from the city walls had disappeared a lot.

　　These were all the firing points that they had taken out!

　　The suppression from the city walls was much smaller.

　　"Kill!" Battalion Commander Fujioka Shō certainly wouldn't let go of such an opportunity.

　　He wanted to take advantage of the weak firepower of the defending soldiers on the city walls to launch an attack.

　　And this time, the target of his attack was no longer the city walls.

　　The city gate! The city gate that had been opened wide.

　　Like a wild dog that had been hungry for a long time, seeing a pile of fresh feces.

　　Battalion Commander Fujioka Shō couldn't bear it anymore.

　　He ordered the Nakamura Hyōe Company and the Asahi Masashige Company to immediately launch a fierce attack on the city gate.

　　The distance of three hundred meters was neither far nor near.

　　For the attacking side, it was considered far.

　　More than three hundred Japanese soldiers immediately got up and started charging hard.

　　They bent over, holding their guns, and charged toward the drawbridge that had just been lowered.

　　Company Commander Nakamura Hyōe was happy that when they had charged out fifty meters.

　　The attacks from the city walls had completely disappeared.

　　The machine guns on the city walls were now staring at the Japanese soldiers lying on the ground and firing.

　　"Their firepower is not enough, they can't take care of us!" Company Commander Asahi Masashige shouted loudly.

　　Encouraging the entire attacking Japanese team.

　　Without the machine gun fire, these Japanese soldiers could finally stand up straight.

　　Their goal hadn't changed, but now their mood was much more relaxed.

　　"As long as we rush into the city!"

　　This belief supported these charging Japanese soldiers in the two companies.

　　Battalion Commander Fujioka Shō also felt the dawn of victory beckoning to him.

　　The soldiers of the First Platoon and the Second Platoon of the Second Company, who had gathered inside the south gate, received the latest news:

　　Two companies of Japanese soldiers were charging towards the city gate.

　　What they had to do was not to confront them head-on, but to lure them into a trap.

　　Platoon Leader Ōraku Zhi loudly ordered: "Place two one-jin directional mines inside the city gate tunnel."

　　It wasn't that he pitied the Japanese soldiers, but that he was afraid that the city walls couldn't withstand it.

　　Installing directional mines had long been a mandatory skill for the soldiers of the Special Operations Brigade.

　　They were professionals at this.

　　In less than a minute, the task was completed.

　　At dusk, the city gate tunnel seemed even darker.

　　The directional mines were placed on the stone walls of the city gate tunnel, and they wouldn't be easily noticed whether you paid attention or not.

　　Even the pull cords behind them weren't easy to spot.

　　Six heavy machine guns and five light machine guns were arranged in a semicircular encirclement inside the city.

　　If the Japanese soldiers could really manage to rush out of the city gate tunnel.

　　What awaited them would only be the bullets of revenge.

　　The Japanese soldiers of the Nakamura Hyōe Company and the Asahi Masashige Company were also competing.

　　They all wanted to be the first to rush into the city.

　　When a city was captured, people could only remember the first one to rush in.

　　What was the difference between the second one to rush in and the last one to rush in?

　　Sergeant Miki Takeo had proven this truth countless times with his thirteen years of battlefield experience.

　　However, it was very unfortunate that he was one of those Japanese soldiers between the second and last.

　　Today, he wanted to seize the first place!

　　This wasn't without a chance, because he was now rushing in the front.

　　Company Commander Asahi Masashige was very excited to see Miki Takeo rushing in the front: This was a warrior from his company.

　　He had already stepped onto the drawbridge! This was a moment that worried the Japanese soldiers: This was the easiest time to be attacked.

　　The situation that worried Company Commander Asahi Masashige didn't happen.

　　The defending soldiers on the city walls were still exchanging fire with the battalion.

　　Battalion Commander Fujioka Shō had also used his strength to support these two infantry companies.

　　He ordered the entire battalion to slowly advance.

　　Although they weren't advancing quickly.

　　The pressure of hundreds of Japanese soldiers advancing made the defending soldiers on the city walls unable to care about the two companies that had rushed to the front of the city gate.

　　This was Battalion Commander Fujioka Shō's idea, and it was also the common idea of Company Commander Nakamura Hyōe and Company Commander Asahi Masashige.

　　Sergeant Miki Takeo took the lead and rushed into the dark city gate tunnel.

　　Behind him was a group of crazy Japanese soldiers.

　　They rushed in, scrambling to be the first.

　　Although the city gate tunnel was dark, there was light ahead.

　　That was the light from inside Lincheng.

　　The Japanese soldiers of the two companies crowded together and charged towards the place with light.

　　The chaotic footsteps echoed in the city gate tunnel, making the ears of these Japanese soldiers very uncomfortable.

　　Just as Miki Takeo was about to rush into the light, he seemed to hear the sound of a fuse burning.

　　This Japanese soldier, who had spent thirteen years on the battlefield, had just rushed from the darkness into the light.

　　His eyes hadn't adapted yet, and the sound he had only vaguely heard was immediately overwhelmed by the blurry figures in front of him.

　　All he could see were the National Revolutionary Army.

　　"This is a trap?"

　　What responded to him were two loud bangs, "Boom! Boom!"

　　Accompanied by a huge rush of air blowing out from the city gate tunnel.

　　At the same time, the "tuk! tuk!" sound rang out.

　　Sergeant Miki Takeo felt his body fly up like a leaf.

　　Company Commander Nakamura Hyōe hadn't squeezed to the front of the team.

　　He hadn't even squeezed to the middle of the team.

　　Just like that: When he heard the explosions coming from the city gate tunnel while still on the drawbridge.

　　And saw a cloud of smoke pouring out of the city gate tunnel.

　　Company Commander Nakamura Hyōe still took a moment to think: "Did they step on a landmine?"

　　Then some Japanese soldiers who were lucky enough not to be killed by the blast ran out of the city gate tunnel.

　　At this time, Company Commander Nakamura Hyōe had reacted:

　　"Charge in! Kill those who retreat!"

　　Company Commander Nakamura Hyōe shouted loudly.

　　But his words had no effect on those Japanese soldiers who had just rushed out of the city gate tunnel.

　　The narrow space inside the city gate tunnel, the huge sound of the directional mines exploding.

　　The increased sound pressure inside the entire city gate tunnel caused those Japanese soldiers in the enclosed space to lose their hearing temporarily.

　　They couldn't hear what the people outside were shouting at all.

　　They could only hear their heads buzzing, and these Japanese soldiers who had survived only wanted to find a place of light and find some comfort among the Japanese soldiers.

　　Company Commander Nakamura Hyōe watched these Japanese soldiers rushing out, disregarding his orders.

　　He could no longer tolerate such disregard for the authority of the company commander.

　　He pulled out his pistol and fired three shots at a Japanese soldier who rushed out.

　　The gunshots finally startled all the Japanese soldiers.

　　Those Japanese soldiers whose ears were still buzzing were horrified to see that they would be shot by the company commander even if they were lucky enough to survive.

　　Now they understood what they should do.

　　Next to these Japanese soldiers, another group of Japanese soldiers had rushed into the city gate tunnel.

　　At least a hundred Japanese soldiers had just been killed in the city gate tunnel.

　　Company Commander Nakamura Hyōe also rushed into the city gate tunnel with the crowd.

　　The narrow, oppressive space, the chaotic footsteps, the groans of the wounded Japanese soldiers, all sounded in his ears.

　　Platoon Leader Ōraku Zhi and Platoon Leader Ying Yuanqing had now ordered six makeshift tanks to be pushed to the city gate tunnel.

　　Lined up in a row, they blocked the entire south gate.

　　The "tuk tuk" sound of the heavy machine guns firing echoed in the city gate tunnel.

　　Row after row of Japanese soldiers were being harvested by these dense bullets like chives.

　　At a distance of less than twenty meters, these Japanese soldiers couldn't charge through at all, and they couldn't retreat.

　　The Japanese soldiers in the front row wanted to retreat, but the Japanese soldiers behind were still squeezing forward.

　　But they soon no longer had such disagreements.

　　Just as these Japanese soldiers began to counterattack, they encountered hand grenades thrown by the soldiers of the First Platoon and the Second Platoon hiding behind the heavy machine guns.

　　The sounds of "Boom! Boom!" explosions were endless.

　　This time, Company Commander Nakamura Hyōe finally experienced the feeling of the Japanese soldier who had just been executed by him.

　　The huge sound made his heart flutter.

　　His eardrums were beating like drums.

　　His whole body was shaking with the explosions.

　　At this time, he only wanted to rush out of this city gate tunnel and rush towards the light.

　　None of the Japanese soldiers could hear any orders he shouted.

　t have to give any orders anymore.

　　With the addition of the five light machine guns, the Japanese soldiers who had just been sporadically counterattacking were now completely suppressed.

　　The soldiers of the First Platoon and the Second Platoon no longer threw hand grenades.

　　Six heavy machine guns had rushed into the city gate tunnel, and the bullets they fired.

　　Cleared out all the Japanese soldiers in the entire city gate tunnel.

　　Those Japanese soldiers who were still on the drawbridge were also swept by these long tongues of fire.

　　They were either lying on the drawbridge, dodging bullets.

　　Or they were hit and fell on the drawbridge, or they jumped directly into the five-meter-deep moat.

　　The soldiers of the First Platoon and the Second Platoon, who had rushed out of the city gate, threw several hand grenades into the moat.

　　The Japanese soldiers who had desperately jumped just now had finally lost their lives.

　　The blood flowing from the Japanese soldiers on the drawbridge was gathering into streams and flowing into the moat.

　　The straggling Japanese soldiers of the Nakamura Hyōe Company and the Asahi Masashige Company.

　　At this time, they no longer dared to charge forward.

　　They ran towards the Fujioka Shō Battalion as fast as their legs could carry them.

　　Like lone wild geese leaving the flock, looking for their team.

　　The First Platoon and the Second Platoon closely followed behind these Japanese soldiers.

　　The heavy machine guns no longer fired.

　　These dozens of Japanese soldier remnants were very useful.

　　They stood between the Fujioka Shō Battalion and the First Platoon and the Second Platoon.

　　Making it impossible for the Japanese soldiers of the entire Fujioka Shō Battalion to shoot at the charging soldiers of the Special Operations Brigade.

　　Battalion Commander Fujioka Shō, who had moved the entire battalion two hundred meters in front of the city gate, was very angry:

　　These cowards not only couldn't help with the attack on Lincheng.

　　Instead, they were hindering him from attacking the National Revolutionary Army.

　　On the battlefield, the defeated army that retreated could always break through its own lines.

　　Battalion Commander Fujioka Shō didn't want such a tragedy to happen.

　　He ordered: "Machine gun fire!"

　　For him, these Japanese soldiers who had fled from the front line were no longer his subordinates.

　　The entire Fujioka Shō Battalion, although it had lost three companies and had been constantly bombarded by artillery fire from the city walls.

　　Now it still had more than four hundred Japanese soldiers left.

　　Now, more than four hundred Japanese soldiers received the order: Open fire on the Japanese soldiers who were running over.

　　The thirty or so Japanese soldiers who had survived from the Nakamura Hyōe Company and the Asahi Masashige Company fell under the gun in the blink of an eye.

　　The six heavy machine guns of the First Platoon and the Second Platoon, who were charging in the front, saw that the Japanese soldiers were going crazy and even killing Japanese soldiers.

　　They didn't hold back either: The six heavy machine guns also began to fire.

　　The five light machine guns that followed also lay on the ground and started shooting at the Japanese soldiers.

　　The distance between the enemy and us was less than a hundred meters.
