Chapter 177: The Wei Army Is Here

When Wang Shizhen led the commando team into Jinzhou City through the gap, the Japanese had not yet recovered from their shock.

"Quick, quick, seize the East Gate!" Wang Shizhen said almost without hesitation.

The gap was too small, which was not conducive to the attack of the follow-up troops. If the East Gate could be captured, the time for the army to enter the city would be greatly reduced.

"Capture Yamaji alive!" The commandos heard the thunderous shouts behind them, and their morale was boosted.

They followed Wang Shizhen and rushed towards the East Gate. The gap itself was on the East City Wall, not far from the East Gate.

The Japanese guarding the city gate were awakened from their sleep by the loud explosion, and then they realized that the Chinese army was not far away from them.

"Kill." Wang Shizhen threw a grenade fiercely, and the five soldiers running in front followed suit.

Suddenly, there were several explosions, and the Japanese at the city gate were immediately killed.

Wang Shizhen was overjoyed to see that the progress was so smooth.

The reason why it was so smooth was inseparable from the carelessness of the Japanese. The Japanese did not expect the Qing army to dare to go deep into the hinterland and attack Jinzhou. Therefore, their defense in Jinzhou was not strict at all. Only a small number of soldiers were on guard at night, and most of them had fallen asleep.

"You, you, you, you, you, you, the five of you go to open the city gate, and the rest of you will be ready for defense immediately." Wang Shizhen issued orders in an orderly manner.

More than 20 special forces soldiers of the fire brigade did not need Wang Shizhen's orders at all. They quickly found the commanding heights, crawled on the ground, stared at the city without blinking, and waited for the arrival of Japanese reinforcements.

The loud noise also woke up the sleeping Yamaji Motoharu. Yamaji Motoharu hurriedly got up and reached out to grab the head of the bed, but he didn't grab the clothes. It turned out that he had been blind in one eye since childhood. He was called "one-eyed dragon", so he had a little deviation in seeing things.

The clothes accidentally fell under the bed, and he searched for a long time but couldn't find it.

"Mr. Division Commander, the Qing army is attacking the city!" Yamaji Motoharu was still trying to find his uniform, but the chief of staff, Yasuzumi Odera, exclaimed outside.

Yamaji Motoharu had no choice but to pick up his coat from the wall and put it on, holding a command knife in his hand, and quickly went out with his crotch wrapped around his waist.

The door was already full of Japanese generals of all sizes, even Osako Naotoshi, who had not yet returned to the First Army, was inside.

Seeing Yamaji Motoharu's incongruous dress, all the Japanese looked strange.

"What did you say, Qing army, where did the Qing army come from?" Yamaji Motoharu was a little unconvinced at first, but this was when the Chinese soldiers shouted loudly.

"Capture Yamaji Motoharu alive!" The voice was faintly coming from the east. Yamaji Motoharu could understand a few words of Chinese, and he was so angry after hearing this.

"Baga, hurry up, hurry up, kill them for me." Yamaji Motoharu jumped and yelled at the major next to him, Saito Tomoaki.

Yamaji Motoharu has never been a good-tempered person. On the contrary, he has a violent temper, so he ordered the massacre of unarmed civilians in Lushun.

"Ha!" The major responded quickly and turned away. In fact, the Japanese army had already rushed to the east, but the major only dared to follow orders when he was furious.

"How many enemies are there? Where are they from? Whose troops are they?" Yamaji Motoharu asked several questions in a row, but unfortunately no one could answer them. Everyone had just woken up from their sleep, and the guards at the east gate had not yet passed the news. Who knows.

"Baga, what are you all doing for food." Yamaji Motoharu was furious and wanted to scold, but there were already Japanese coming quickly from the east gate to report the news.

"Sir, something is wrong. The Qing army has opened the east gate, and thousands of people are entering the city from there." After a lieutenant finished speaking, he almost crawled on the ground and dared not move.

"What did you say? The East Gate was captured." Yamaji kicked the lieutenant, one eye flashed fiercely, and he said viciously: "Are you all useless?"

"Sir, the Qing army blew up the city wall with explosives and opened the city gate before we could react." The lieutenant explained tremblingly.

"You useless, you dare to quibble." Yamaji was even more furious. He drew out his command knife with a clang and chopped off the lieutenant's head with one knife.

Everyone was silent, not daring to speak out and offend him.

"Immediately withdraw 500 troops from the south and north to support the west gate." Yamaji killed someone, and his mood calmed down a little. He regained his calmness and gave orders quickly.

The messenger received the order and ran away.

Dasi Anchun said with some concern: "Will the Qing army also bury troops in other gates?"

He was afraid that after Yamaji withdraws troops, the other gates will become weak.

Yamaji Motoharu was no ordinary man. He immediately said, "There are several thousand Qing troops attacking the East Gate. They were able to hide from our scouts and arrive at the foot of Jinzhou quietly. There must not be too many troops. A few thousand is the limit. Therefore, I conclude that they have no other troops."

"Hmph, just a few thousand troops want to sneak attack my Jinzhou. How arrogant! Come and prepare the horses. I, Yamaji Motoharu, will go to the East Gate to command in person." Yamaji Motoharu did not take the Chinese army seriously at all.

At the East Gate, the Japanese support team had just arrived, and the battle had become fierce. The first to shoot were the sharpshooters of the fire brigade. They were the kings of the night, and the range of the sniper rifle was much farther than that of ordinary rapid-fire guns. The Japanese just appeared at the intersection.

The crisp sound of gunshots rang out from all over the city wall. Dozens of Japanese were caught off guard and fell down one after another. They died very unjustly, with their eyes wide open before they died.

Wang Shizhen was commanding in the middle without hurrying. The soldiers of the commando team hid in the mud with heavy bloodstains and smoke, and piled up the Japanese corpses one by one to make a temporary trench.

"Don't shoot, wait until the Japanese get closer." Wang Shizhen saw that the sergeant was ready to move after hearing the gunshot, and he couldn't help but stop him.

Of course, his order was for ordinary soldiers.

"Boom!" A cannonball suddenly landed not far from Wang Shizhen, which scared him.

It turned out that the Japanese saw that their city gate was occupied and the enemy's gun skills were accurate, so they pulled the cannon to bomb.

"Kill!" The Japanese launched an attack amid the cannon.

"Fire!" Wang Shizhen gave an order, and the battlefield was suddenly filled with gunfire.

The sparks from the muzzle immediately let the Japanese understand the lurking position of the Chinese soldiers.

There were another boom, and a few booms, and the cannonballs fell among the commando soldiers.

More than a dozen soldiers could not escape and died under the Japanese artillery.

Seeing this, Wang Shizhen shouted: "The fire brigade covers us, and the rest of the people, charge. General Wei is coming soon, and we must defend the city gate."

More than 20 sharpshooters did not care to hide their identities, and jumped out of the darkness and sniped the Japanese frantically.

And Wang Shizhen led the rest of the commandos to launch a desperate charge.

Bang, bang, bang, the two sides first fired guns at each other, and when the distance was closer, the commandos threw grenades one after another.

A large number of Japanese fell down immediately, but unfortunately there were still endless Japanese rushing forward from the back.

Soon, the two armies collided with each other.

The sound of metal clashing, the sound of bones breaking, the sound of sharp blades piercing flesh, and the curses of the soldiers of the two armies and the wailing before death formed the main theme of this battlefield.

Kill! Wei Jichen ordered a charge without a pause after hearing the explosion, so the army had already started to enter the city almost when the commandos rushed towards the Japanese.

Seeing the behavior of the commandos, Wei Jichen did not pause at all, drew his sword, and shouted: "Brothers, charge, revenge for our compatriots in Lushun."

"Revenge, revenge!" The soldiers shouted wildly and rushed forward recklessly. At this time, there was no need for any formation or strategy.

The brave wins when they meet on a narrow road.

Wei Jichen led the follow-up troops to arrive in time, which immediately panicked the Japanese. Originally, they were only fighting with the commandos, but now they retreated again and again.

Wei Jichen was more calm at this time. He was in the middle of his own army. Relying on his gun skills, he shot left and right, and repeatedly demanded the lives of the Japanese.

"The Wei army is here, anyone who dares to stop them will die!" Wei Jichen shouted loudly, and the soldiers around him shouted with great enthusiasm.

"The Wei army is here, anyone who dares to stop them will die!" The roar merged into a river, shaking the entire Jinzhou City.

Yamaji Motoharu, who was halfway and rushing here in a hurry, heard the roar and immediately pulled the reins and asked his left and right: "What are the Chinese shouting?"

"Sir, it's the army of the god of death Wei Jichen." When the Japanese invaded China, how could there be no one who knew Chinese in each army?

Since the most powerful general of the First Division, Nogi Maresuke, died at the hands of Wei Jichen, the name of the Wei army has become a taboo of the First Division.

The First Division hated and feared Wei Jichen.

"Wei Jichen actually led his troops here. No wonder the Qing army attacking Fuzhou was not strong, and no wonder the East Gate was opened quickly." Yamadi Motoharu was a little panicked, but fortunately he had been in the army for many years and had seen all kinds of situations, so he calmed down immediately.

"Quick, build a new line of defense here, and don't add to the chaos on the front line." Yamadi Motoharu saw that the reinforcements from the north and south gates had arrived, and immediately issued a new order.

And let the other gates continue to send reinforcements here. Now that the Wei army has entered the city, Yamadi Motoharu thinks it is useless to guard the other gates. It is better to gather all the soldiers together and fight a decisive battle with the Wei army.

However, as soon as he issued this order, he saw that his soldiers fled like a tide on the street leading to the East Gate.

Behind his soldiers, the fierce Wei army chased and killed them again and again. Some soldiers who ran a little slower were immediately hacked to pieces.

The sound of gunfire was mixed with the howling of ghosts and wolves, and the whole scene was in chaos.

"Baga, stop!" Yamaji Motoharu's face changed drastically, and he roared wildly, even pulling out his gun and shooting several soldiers who were running in the front.

"Oh my god, the god of death is coming, run away."

However, the soldiers were already scared out of their wits. The Japanese who had just fought with the Wei army finally understood why the Wei army was able to win battles in a row, because the other side did not regard them as human beings at all.

Wei Jichen was the god of death, and the soldiers of the Wei army were the sickles of the god of death. They were the most ferocious machines on the battlefield, with only the enemy in their eyes, not their own lives.
