After dawn, the battle in North City began.

This battle is impressive.

This does not mean that the Eighth Route Army suffered heavy casualties, nor does it mean that this battle is difficult to fight.

This battle is not difficult to fight. After all, the people of North City have long been cleared. The independent regiment with tanks can safely blow up the houses guarded by the Japanese and then push them from all sides to compress the Japanese's living space.

The reason why it is impressive is that in this battle, the Chinese people beat the Chinese people...

There were more than a thousand remaining Japanese soldiers, but they also commanded more than two thousand puppet troops.

At this time, these more than 2,000 puppet troops were in a very embarrassing situation:

They wanted to rebel and surrender to the Eighth Route Army but they didn't have that strength... More than 2,000 puppet troops were not the opponents of more than 1,000 Japanese, and the Japanese were prepared for them and looked at them like criminals.

However, this is not a solution, because anyone knows that the Japanese will use them as cannon fodder next.

Sure enough, before dawn, Chikan Xianji organized the puppet troops and let them rush to the front.

This is what Chi Shang Xianji said to the puppet army commander: "Captain Xu, you rushed forward, the imperial army followed behind to cover and break through the north gate! Do you understand?"

Chi Shang Xianji was rushing towards the south city all night. He planned to make a desperate bet and break through to the north gate after dawn. If he used the puppet army to block the bullets in front, he might even be able to fight a bloody path and escape from the sky.

The commander of the puppet army was Xu Weichong. He knew what the Japanese were thinking when he heard this. The Japanese followed behind and called "cover" but actually supervised the war. If the puppet army had the intention to surrender or respond passively, the Japanese would immediately point the gun at the puppet army.

This Xu Weichong is not a good person either... Most of the people who can be promoted and made money in the puppet army are those who do all the bad things or fully "loyalty" to gain the trust of the Japanese, and Xu Weichong is one of them.

Xu Weichong's eyes rolled and asked, "Taijun, my troops rushed forward, I will protect Taijun and break through together. What do you think about Taijun?"

When Chikami Hyun-ji heard this, his expression became very ugly. He extremely despised the act of betraying his subordinates for life, but then he thought that if he did not agree with Xu Weichong's request, this bastard would probably lead his subordinates to turn against him in the battle.

What's more, isn't the empire needing such a cartilage person?

If it is a hard-bodied Chinese, of course it is impossible for them to surrender to the empire and fight against their own people!

So, Kenji Ikegham held back his disgust, and filled with smiles and nodded while giving a thumbs up: "Your, it's great!"

Xu Weichong got Chi Shang Xianji's consent and put half of the stone hanging in his heart.

Although Xu Weichong knew that this battle was a life-and-death death, as a leader of the "Peaceful Founding Army", he was already full of blood debts and even participated in cooperating with the Japanese tombslaughter villages. His name was long on the Eighth Route Army's "traitor" list.

Xu Weichong knew very well that he had no way out and could only go all the way to the dark.

Since this is the case, he can only exchange the resources in his hands for protection with the Japanese... He only has more than 2,000 subordinates.

So, don't blame him for selling his subordinates!

Then, after Xu Weichong returned to the army, he immediately convened the battalion commanders to have a meeting.

His statement to his subordinates was... the Japanese reinforcements were outside the North City. They could survive as long as they broke through the North City, otherwise they would be dead, especially the Japanese were pointing their guns behind them.

A battalion commander did not believe that there were reinforcements outside the city. If there were reinforcements, there should be guns and cannons. At the same time, Kenji Ikegami should break out north instead of south. Therefore, he suggested that he would fight against the Japanese during the battle, and how many people could escape...

This kind of thinking has no problem with the soldiers. The problem is that he did not consider Xu Weichong's situation.

So Xu Weichong pulled out the pistol from his waist without saying a word and killed the battalion commander on the spot.

Then the tragedy happened. Under the leadership and publicity of Xu Weichong, most of the puppet troops believed that the Japanese had reinforcements outside the city and could survive as long as they broke through the north gate. Although a small number of the puppet troops were half-believing and half-doubted, they even knew that they were being used, but the Japanese guns and bayonets were behind them, and they could only rush forward with their teeth.

At this time, Wang Xuexin was organizing defense at the North Gate. He saw teams of puppet troops rushing towards the Eighth Route Army defense line like a tide, although the soldiers of the Propaganda Department shouted at them over and over again in a hoarse voice:

"Comrades from the Seventh Regiment, if the Chinese don't beat the Chinese, surrender!"

"The end of the Japanese is here. I will stop the gun and not kill them. The Eighth Route Army treats prisoners with preferential treatment!"

"The Japanese are our enemy, there is no need for you to work hard for the Japanese!"

...

But this did not work at all. The puppet troops still defeated a group of people and came up. They stepped on the bodies and stood up with bayonets, shouted loudly and rushed forward with bayonets.

This scene made Zhao Gang feel very strange.

Usually the morale of the puppet army is the worst, especially when the Japanese are about to collapse, they often surrender without fighting or take the initiative to turn against each other.

But this time, it launched a fierce attack on the Eighth Route Army in an abnormal manner.

However, Wang Xuexin was not ruthless. He commanded the tanks to defeat the puppet troops rushing up in rows.

Although the Eighth Route Army was lenient with prisoners, although they were Chinese, and although they were bewitched by the enemy... As long as they were holding guns in their hands, they should not be rude.

The Japanese followed the puppet army with explosive bags and cluster grenades in their arms, hoping to rush forward with the cover of the puppet army to blow up the tanks.

This tactic is correct. The Eighth Route Army's advantage over the Japanese is tanks.

If the tank is blown up or there is a gap in the defense line, the Japanese may indeed break out.

But the Japanese obviously wasted their efforts. At this time, the Eighth Route Army was no longer the situation of ten bullets per capita. Although they dared not say that they could meet the 400,000 troops of the entire army's combat, it was not a problem to concentrate on supplying the two main divisions in Dayun City.

So, the light and heavy machine guns were fired and the 50th small cannons were blown into the pile of Japanese devils one after another. Occasionally, a few more incendiary bombs were used, and soon the Japanese charges were fired back.

As soon as the Japanese retreated, Wang Xuexin ordered a counterattack... At this time, the enemy should not have a chance to breathe. The counterattack after victory will put a lot of psychological pressure on the enemy. In this psychological state, it is difficult for them to organize effective defense.

So, the battle ended completely in just over half an hour.

Xu Weichong was eventually captured... although his statement was to surrender voluntarily.

As he imagined, the Eighth Route Army, who was owed blood debt, had to treat this kind of traitor who was owed blood, and of course he had to treat other prisoners differently, not to mention that after interrogation, he also learned about the agreement he reached with the Japanese before the war.

However, in the end, Xu Weichong was not shot, but was secretly strangled to death by his subordinates in a cell detained and waiting for interrogation.
