On the east side of Shijiazhuang, there is another Eighth Route Army position.

There were at least two or three Eighth Route Army soldiers on this position. At this time, everyone was ready. Just wait for a command, everyone would attack the Japanese positions in the distance.

In front, there is at least one gang-scale position of the Japanese devils. Through the telescope, you can see that there are many Japanese devils on the position.

Several regiment commanders of the Eighth Route Army looked at their pocket watches from time to time. It was almost eight o'clock, and the shelling of the 36th Army should have begun immediately.

Sure enough, when eight o'clock arrived, the Eighth Route Army soldiers on this position first heard the heavy explosion sounds of heavy artillery brigade's rocket launcher regiment was attacking another Japanese position.

Immediately afterwards, many Eighth Route Army soldiers on this position heard a clear and sharp whistling sound from the sky. Some experienced Eighth Route Army soldiers immediately thought that this was a large number of heavy artillery firing together.

Several regiment commanders of the Eighth Route Army immediately felt happy when they heard this sharp whistling sound. They thought to themselves that, sure enough, the Eighth Route Army's artillery bombardment began.

As a large number of sharp whistling sounds rang out, a large number of shells immediately hit the Japanese devils' positions, making a shocking explosion.

Although the Eighth Route Army soldiers were nearly 1,000 meters away from the Japanese positions, the violent explosion still made everyone's ears a little uncomfortable.

In the distance, on the Japanese's position, smoke filled the gunpowder and sand and gravel flew everywhere. The scene was very spectacular. The trenches built by the Japanese were blown out of recognition, and the Japanese's bunkers were blown to pieces.

At the beginning, the vast majority of Eighth Route Army soldiers were very shocked. Everyone had basically never seen such a large-scale shelling. Such a shocking and spectacular scene was unimaginable.

The Eighth Route Army troops were equipped with some mortars and 92 infantry guns, and there were 155mm howitzers, and this time, dozens of such howitzers were still bombarded together.

After a long time, the shock in the hearts of the Eighth Route Army soldiers gradually faded and they began to appreciate the scene in the distance with relish. Some Eighth Route Army commanders with telescopes even held the telescopes and watched them with cheers.

The heavy artillery brigade's shelling on this Japanese position lasted for half an hour. Within half an hour, thousands of shells poured into the Japanese position, and the Japanese were killed and injured.

After half an hour of shelling, more than half of the Japanese were injured or killed. Those alive Japanese were either seriously injured and lost their combat effectiveness or were shocked to death. They came back to their senses for a long time.

As soon as the shelling stopped, the Eighth Route Army soldiers let out a shocking cry, and everyone rushed to the Japanese positions together.

Due to the heavy casualties of the Japanese, they had little resistance.

A few Japanese devils who still wanted to resist were shot and killed by the Eighth Route Army soldiers who rushed over like a tide.

In a huge Japanese defensive position, at least three or four thousand Japanese were killed or injured under the bombardment of the heavy artillery brigade. It was then rushed up by several Eighth Route Army soldiers from the regiments, which took less than an hour. All Japanese on this position were wiped out.

An hour later, the Eighth Route Army soldiers began to clean the battlefield.

The battle went so smoothly, which surprised all the Eighth Route Army soldiers. Until now, many Eighth Route Army soldiers still looked incredible.

Several regiment commanders of the Eighth Route Army also came together at this time. Seeing that their soldiers were already cleaning the battlefield, everyone was filled with emotion.

"Old Yang, it's really unimaginable that under the heavy artillery bombardment of the 36th Army, thousands of Japanese devils were gone."

A burly Eighth Route Army commander sighed with emotion.

"Yes! This is the easiest battle I have fought. The soldiers rushed to the Japanese positions. Basically, they just need to eliminate the remaining enemies. They have never encountered any fierce resistance."

"The heavy artillery group of the 36th Army is really amazing. No wonder they can win consecutive battles and annihilate so many Japanese devils and so many heavy artillery, which is really enviable."

“…”

Several commanders of the Eighth Route Army were both emotional and envious, and they started talking about it there.

In the outer side of Shijiazhuang, in several other directions, the 36th Army was responsible for attacking, and everyone fought smoothly.

Under the impact of a large number of tanks, armored vehicles and off-road vehicles from the 36th Army, the Japanese could not organize effective resistance at all.

Even though the Japanese soldiers had 30,000 or 40,000 soldiers outside Shijiazhuang City, they were still unable to resist everyone's attack. By the afternoon of the battle, the Japanese casualties reached nearly 20,000, and many Japanese positions were basically broken through.

There were more than 40,000 people from the 36th Army and about 30,000 people from the Eighth Route Army. At this time, many soldiers had begun to approach the outskirts of Shijiazhuang City. It is estimated that in just two or three hours, everyone would surround the Japanese in Shijiazhuang City.

In the evening, all positions outside the Japanese city were occupied by soldiers, and the remaining Japanese were retreated to the city one by one. The Japanese finally had no choice but to fight the soldiers in the street fighting.

******************************************

Tianjin, the Japanese North China Front Command.

Three divisions were surrounded in Shijiazhuang. The Japanese commander Nishio Shuzuo knew that the Japanese in Shijiazhuang sent telegrams from time to time to report on the battle situation.

But all the telegrams either requested reinforcements or caused heavy casualties. Seeing this situation, Nishio Shouzuo was also very helpless. Now, the Japanese have basically not had a large number of reinforcements to reinforce Shijiazhuang.

"Commander, the three division commanders of Shijiazhuang have just sent a telegram, which said that most of the three divisions have lost, and only more than 10,000 people are left, all of which have been returned to the city and requested tactical guidance."

A Japanese devils' major, with a telegram, looked very sad.

Asking for tactical guidance again, Nishio Suzuo sighed helplessly, his face full of loneliness and helplessness.

After thinking for a while, Nishio Shouzao slowly said powerlessly: "Give up Shijiazhuang! Order all the troops in Shijiazhuang to break through separately and retreat in Baoding."

"Hi!"

The Japanese devils immediately stood attentively and walked out with heavy steps.

Seeing the Japanese Grandpa leaving, Nishio Sho's heart was bleeding. Unexpectedly, there was another miserable defeat. He had just taken office for so long, but he suffered a continuous miserable defeat.

Nishio Suzaki thought that if this continues, he might be the last commander of the North China Front Army.

Many Japanese officers next to him looked ugly when they saw that the battle situation in Shijiazhuang was not good. Now, these Japanese officers all had their heads lowered and thought to themselves that the three divisions in Shijiazhuang were probably over.

In fact, Nishio Shuzuo knew in his heart that without reinforcements, Shijiazhuang's troops would definitely be over, and it was a helpless move to order a breakthrough himself.

******************************************

The battle in Shijiazhuang continues.

After the Japanese retreated to the city, most of them rushed to the city, whether they were the 36th Army or the Eighth Route Army soldiers, and the fierce street fighting began immediately.

The Japanese defeated soldiers with more than 10,000 Japanese soldiers faced a team of 60,000 to 70,000, of which more than half of the troops were the 36th Army.

The people in Shijiazhuang have been closed for the past two days and are hiding at home. Starting from tonight, the people have discovered that there were also fierce gunfire sounds in the city.

In the past, there were only gunfire everywhere outside the city. Many ordinary people heard that this time, the 36th Army and the Eighth Route Army were jointly fighting the Japanese devils and preparing to restore Shijiazhuang.

The common people who have lived under the Japanese's iron hooves and butcher's knife for more than two years have long hoped that their troops could drive away the Japanese and restore Shijiazhuang.

Two days ago, when I heard the sound of gunfire outside the city, many people began to look forward to it. Now, it was just dark, and it seemed that gunfire was also sounding in the city. Many people who heard the sound of gunfire began to have eager hope.

Could it be that the 36th Army and the Eighth Route Army troops have already entered the city? Many ordinary people think so.

Many ordinary people still want to open the door and go outside to check it out, but when they think about the cruelty of the Japanese, everyone put this idea in their hearts.

The people's guess was completely correct. As the Japanese outside the city were destroyed in large numbers, the remaining Japanese retreated into the city. At this time, except for a few soldiers who were also cleaning the battlefield outside the city, a large number of soldiers began to enter the city and began to exchange fire with Japanese inside the city, and began to fight fierce street fighting.

Shijiazhuang is full of soldiers from all directions. The soldiers have entered the outer city and are advancing towards the central city inside.

This time, everyone is preparing to enter the city overnight and seize the opportunity to eliminate the Japanese and do not give them a chance to breathe.

East of the city.

A large number of Eighth Route Army soldiers, carrying rifles or light machine guns, platoons or companies, and nearly 30,000 Eighth Route Army soldiers rushed into the city.

As soon as everyone entered the city, they started a fierce gunfight with the Japanese in the city. Fierce gunfire sounds one after another, occasionally with a few explosions and screams.

The weapons of the Eighth Route Army soldiers are mainly Mauser 98k rifles and Type 38 rifles. These Mauser 98k rifles are basically produced by Huangyadong Arsenal, and the Type 38 rifles were all seized by the Japanese before.

In addition, basically every infantry squad of the Eighth Route Army has a Czech light machine gun or a crooked machine gun. In terms of light weapons, the Eighth Route Army soldiers are no worse than the Japanese.
