Seeing that the enemy had no way to retreat, Li Bin gave the order to annihilate the remnants of this 29th Brigade: "Brothers! All of you go up! We must completely annihilate this brigade in one move!"

  The original was only a small infantry brigade of over 1,800 people: the 29th Infantry Brigade had more than 1,000 people left after the Battle of Goubangzi, and it was probably equivalent to the strength of a large regiment.

  This time, after more than a thousand people entered Jinzhou City, they encountered cold guns, were bombed by hand grenades, and were lured into the encirclement to be beaten. By this time, there were still over 400 devils left.

  Li Bin was determined to annihilate the entire Japanese infantry regiment that had humiliated all Chinese people. He issued the attack order, and all the soldiers rushed out from all directions to launch an attack on the besieged Japanese regiment. The desperate enemy, knowing they could not escape their fate of annihilation, sought every possible object to hide behind for a final resistance.

  The dying struggle of the devils' marksmanship was still quite accurate. Xiao Bo and others, who were responsible for the interception task, had already replaced more than a dozen heavy machine gunners and more than a dozen light machine gunners. However, the new gunners who took over were quickly hit by the bullets fired by the devils and fell on the machine gun.

  The light machine gunners and riflemen behind, although occupying a favorable terrain, shooting down at the devils from above, still had quite a few devils' bullets hitting the windows, causing not small personnel casualties.

  "Report!" A Japanese staff officer walked in, "A logistics unit following the 29th Division was just attacked! According to reliable sources, the 29th Infantry Division has been surrounded by the Chinese!"

  "What! Does that Indian want to swallow our 29th Infantry Regiment in one gulp?" Benmura Shigeru's face changed color.

  "Where is the reinforcement of Shimamoto Masakazu? Can we rescue the 29th Brigade?"

  At this time, Shimamoto Seiichi was also making a nearly frantic effort to rescue the 29th Brigade.

  The 2nd Independent Guard Brigade had already launched its sixth charge, and the previous five charges were all repelled. Although the defenders suffered significant losses, they still stuck to their positions like nails, stubbornly repelling the devils of the 2nd Independent Brigade, who were supported by infantry guns, field artillery, mortars, and heavy machine guns.

  The streets were littered with bricks, stones and tiles, and the bodies of devils were scattered all over the place. But the defending troops were not much better off either. The brave warriors who were desperately blocking the enemy in the buildings and alleys also suffered heavy casualties. The devils' marksmanship was so deadly! As long as they exposed their heads for a slightly longer time, they would be hit by the devils' sharpshooters. Some mortar shells and grenade launchers even shot directly into the windows, killing many soldiers.

  Shimamoto Masakazu glared with his bloodshot eyes and swung the baton again and again: "Kill! Kill!"

  The 29th Infantry Regiment, surrounded and only a stone's throw away, but the Second Independent Battalion couldn't charge into another block just 500 meters away! The houses ignited by shells still stubbornly fired out deadly bullets, knocking down the onrushing devils one by one.

  The bullets shot by the devils' sharpshooters, the grenades thrown by the grenadiers and the shells fired by the mortars and field guns took away the lives of one soldier after another. Just when the 29th Infantry Regiment was about to be annihilated, the devils' attack on the periphery had become almost frantic, and the first line of defense had no soldiers left to guard it. When the devils rushed up, the last two wounded soldiers detonated an explosive pack and were blown to pieces along with more than a dozen devils.

  "Hold on! We must hold on against the enemy's attack!" Xiao Bai and his comrades, who were tasked with blocking the enemy, were now facing attacks from both sides. The first line of defense in front had already been thoroughly breached by the enemy, and now only Xiao Bai and his team were left to execute the task of blocking the enemy. They had to hold off the attack of Shimizu's unit while also blocking the retreat route of Hirata's unit.

  Xiao Bo gave the order to turn the four heavy machine guns and four light machine guns around, shooting scorching bullets at the crazily advancing Shimamoto's troops, knocking down and killing many of the attacking devils.

  Sniper Huang Hua had been looking for the commander of the Independent Regiment, but the cunning Shimizu, seeing that several officers had already been shot and killed, kept a safe distance from him, standing together with the artillerymen, making it impossible for the sniper to take him out.

  Helpless snipers could only rely on houses as cover, mobile and flexible striking the devils' grenade throwers, mortar gunners and machine gunners. Under the guns of Huang Hua and several other snipers, one devil after another became a corpse.

  "We must annihilate this regiment as soon as possible! Otherwise, when the devils' reinforcements arrive, it will be us who are wrapped up like dumplings!" Li Bin looked at his watch and gave the order.

  The battle to annihilate the 29th Infantry Brigade has almost entered its final stage, and the soldiers who have gained the upper hand are pouring down even more intense steel rain on the enemy.

  Wu Congyu, Ma Liqiang and other snipers and sharpshooters used precise aimed fire to send the bullets of revenge flying towards the enemy. Wherever the rifle bullets reached, streaks of blood arrows flew, and fragments of the devils' skulls mixed with brains and blood were scattered everywhere.

  Hong Biao, who was operating the machine gun, was even more ferocious. When the "Tutankhamun" formation retreated, he disassembled this unique machine gun again and placed it on a third-floor window to fiercely sweep the devils in the street below. The metal chain locked quickly, and the muzzle spat out flames of revenge. His angry shouting voice almost drowned out the roar of the machine gun. A torrent of hot bullets poured into the enemy crowd, and wherever the powerful heavy machine gun bullets reached, blood splattered everywhere. Bullets pierced through corpses used as sandbags, penetrating the bodies of devils behind them, causing the enemy to let out cries of despair one after another.

  Under the fierce attack of the Righteous Army, the 29th Infantry Brigade was left with only over two hundred devils.

  Li Bin originally thought that, in the case of occupying a favorable terrain, he could easily annihilate the remaining two hundred or so devils. However, he did not expect the devils' resistance to be so stubborn. The number of corpses on the streets was increasing, and the dying devils used their bodies as sandbags for defense in their final struggle.

  Using corpses as sandbags could only hold out for a short while, and soon the bullets coming from all directions would turn the corpses into mush. The resisting devils were killed one after another. Li Bin, who knew the devils' close combat skills well, wouldn't let his soldiers go up and engage in bayonet fighting with them. He ordered that they must use guns and grenades to end this battle.

  The stubborn devils also brought some losses to Li Bin and his men, but the devils' stubborn resistance further enraged the soldiers. Machine guns suppressed the enemy, and riflemen shot down the devils one by one. Under the cover of the gunners, grenade throwers threw out hand grenades like flying locusts from the windows, throwing them into the devil's group and blowing them up, sending the last remaining stubborn devils to "report to the Great God of Heaven".

  After several hours of fierce fighting, the enemy's gunfire became more and more sparse until it finally stopped completely. Entering the final stage, Li Bin ordered Fang Juntian's special forces soldiers to rush over, and if they saw any wounded but not dead devils, they would shoot them dead. Knowing the devil's characteristics well, Li Bin would not make the mistake of leaving behind devil wounded soldiers who could pull the pin on a hand grenade and cause their own side's final losses.

  Within a short five minutes, the warriors had swept the battlefield. After capturing the flag of the 29th Infantry Regiment of the Japanese devils, they quickly withdrew from this street with the wounded and the bodies of their comrades, as well as a large number of captured spoils.

  By annihilating this regiment, Li Bin and his men captured more than 400 intact Type 38 rifles, 17 crooked handle machine guns, 3 Type 38 heavy machine guns, 4 Taisho 3rd year heavy machine guns, 6 mortars, 22 grenade launchers, and a large amount of ammunition. The remaining weapons were not taken away because they were already damaged.

  Those infantry cannons, field cannons and other weapons that could not be taken away were all destroyed by Li Bin's order using hand grenades.

  To annihilate the Heita League, the Righteous and Brave Army also paid a price of more than 700 casualties. However, they not only annihilated more than 1,000 devils in this league but also killed more than 200 devils from Shimizu's detachment.

  After annihilating the 29th Regiment, Xiao Bo and others who were responsible for blocking the enemy also withdrew from the battlefield one after another. The soldiers took away the wounded and the dead, and quickly dispersed to various streets.

  The 2nd Independent Guard Brigade, which paid a heavy price for its independence, charged into the street district in front of the boiler factory and found that it was littered with the bodies of devils, all intact weapons had been taken away, even the flag of the 29th Infantry Regiment was nowhere to be seen.

  It is said that the 29th Infantry Regiment was annihilated in one go, and Lieutenant General Futamata Noritsune hurried to the gate of the boiler factory. Seeing his own regiment being annihilated, he let out a loud cry and fainted. The surrounding Japanese soldiers rushed forward, using techniques such as pressing the Renzhong point and the Taiyang hole to slowly bring him back to consciousness.

  "Eighty blows!" The enraged Tomenosuke II slapped Isami Kondō ten or more times. The 29th Infantry Regiment, which had distinguished itself in the September 18 Incident, was completely annihilated, and this was undoubtedly a most severe blow to the rampaging Japanese invaders.

  With a gloomy face, Honjō Shigeru arrived in the city, thinking to himself: A small Jinzhou City can bring such great losses to us. Do we have to use large-scale artillery and aircraft to turn the entire Jinzhou into ruins? But Japan doesn't have that many resources. If every city is fought like this, how much financial and material resources will it take to occupy all of China?! I'm afraid before China even surrenders, Japan will already be out of steel. And on top of that, those naval guys are laughing at me!

  Seeing Ben Zhuang's depressed look, Ishihara Kanji came up and said: "Commander, you must be unhappy about the Jinzhou War?"

  Seeing Honjō nodding, Ishihara continued: "Commander, please don't worry, the Chinese people do not have the cohesion of our great Yamato nation! This time in Jinzhou, we encountered such resistance because there is a Li Bin! As long as we eliminate Li Bin this time, the Chinese people in Northeast China will no longer have cohesion! We can easily obtain the entire Northeast! Finally, we can use the resources of Northeast China to develop our empire!"

  "Honjō Shigeru said with a worried expression: 'What if that Zhang Xueliang refuses to get rid of Li Bin as we told him to?'"

  "Hahaha! Your Excellency the Commander-in-Chief need not worry! Even if Zhang Xueliang is unwilling, I think Chiang Kai-shek and He Yingqin will also help us get rid of this great hidden danger!" Ishiwara Kanji burst out laughing.

  "Hasn't Chiang Kai-shek stepped down?" asked Motojirō Hata.

  "Your Excellency the Commander-in-Chief, just you watch, I know this man will be back on stage again soon!" Ishihara Kanji, a China expert, was thoroughly familiar with all aspects of the National Government.
