Chapter 33: The Cavalry's Crisis

  The female soldiers' offensive has begun, and Yang Junran had never underestimated these female soldiers.

  Their combat effectiveness is very strong, and even in close combat, they are better than their own troops.

  Behind them were the neatly arranged Bohler infantry guns, and in front of them, not far away, were several Type 92 infantry guns captured from the Japanese army.

  The shells began firing, and the female soldiers held their own weapons, quickly launching an attack towards the front.

  These female soldiers have all undergone military training, so their abilities naturally won't be bad.

  Machine guns on the city wall continuously swept and blocked the advance of female soldiers below.

  Yang Junran didn't stand on ceremony and directly ordered the machine gun squad to open fire.

  As the machine gun troops have all arrived at the front line, this place is not far from the city gate.

  The 12th Battery's 94-type 75mm mountain gun quickly took aim and began firing.

  A burst of cannonballs shot towards the city gate, these artillerymen's level was not very good, except for a few cannonballs that hit, many exploded at the foot of the city.

  Zhang Junzhe's face was a bit unsightly, these troops were his first contact, and he hadn't had time to understand their abilities before being pulled onto the battlefield by Yang Junran.

  Yang Junran's face didn't look too good after seeing his own artillery level.

  It's always embarrassing to lose face, but now is the worst timing, and it just so happens that the female soldier's unit is right next to us, isn't this intentionally making Yang Junran lose face?

  "What's going on, is Zhang Junzhe not good enough? If he's not good enough, then say it out loud, don't make me lose face." Seeing the gazes of those nearby, Yang Junran's expression was not pleasant, and he loudly shouted towards the front.

  Xu Da quickly ran over and said to Yang Junran: "Commander, why don't we go up instead? We can even save on artillery shells."

  Yang Junran took a look at the city of Duolun County, furrowed his brow and said: "Leave one battalion behind, take all the other troops with you, try to open up a gap from the flank, coordinate with the female soldiers' actions, but don't compete with them for credit. At the right time, our troops can withdraw and let them enter the city first."

  Xu Da hesitated for a moment, nodded, and ran back to his own troops with a smile.

  Before long, Xu Da led his troops and began to move towards the flank.

  The Gatling squad here also summed up the lessons and started re-firing artillery shells.

  Although there were also misses, it was much better than the previous ones.

  In Duolun County town, Bao Yan's face didn't look very good.

  The machine gun firepower on the city wall was completely suppressed by the artillery below, and there was no possibility of shooting at all.

  Even the telegram sent out by the radio station had no response at all.

  Now Baoyuan Tu can only hope for Baoer's cavalry division to save the situation here.

  The people in the city didn't know what was happening outside, but seeing the Mongolian army's flustered expressions, they knew that this time the situation was extremely urgent.

  The police station and the rural garrison have all been mobilized and are rushing towards the city wall.

  The once bustling streets now have few people.

  The streets all around were empty and deserted, with only occasional troops rushing by in a hurry.

  "This time the Mongolian army is doomed, these damned people will eventually be punished."

  "It must be Commander Zhou Yulan's troops, they are the only ones with such strength."

  "I've had enough, I'm going to join the troops and fight against the Mongolian army, fight against the Japanese devils."

  All sorts of discussions began in every household, and they were extremely hateful towards the Mongolian army.

  The gunfire outside grew more intense, not only were Zhou Yulan and Yang Junran's artillery firing, but also the dozens of cannons in the Dulun County City Arsenal were being transported out to fire at the attacking troops.

  The artillery battle between the two sides was intense, and the attacking troops were also busy, constantly launching attacks on the city wall.

  The Bohler infantry gun of Zhou Yulan's troops concentrated its firepower and bombarded a point on the city wall.

  Yang Junran held up his binoculars and kept observing the situation in front of him.

  As for Xu Da's troops, he was still confident that as long as the flanks were in danger, Duolun County would definitely fall.

  "Tell Zhang Junzhe to have his mountain artillery battalion blast a gap for me first, and the machine gun battalion will cover the troops as they charge." Yang Junran put down his binoculars and shouted to the messenger soldier beside him.

  The orderly listened and then quickly ran forward.

  A breach has appeared in the city wall, and the ancient walls seem unable to withstand the impact of modernized weapons.

  Finally, with a few rounds of 75mm mountain gun shells hitting the breach fiercely, the city wall collapsed in a loud crash.

  After seeing the city wall collapse, the female soldiers quickly launched a strong attack.

  "Zhang Junzhe, give me a tight suppression of the enemy's firepower points." Seeing the female soldiers launching a strong attack, Yang Junran anxiously shouted loudly.

  As expected, with the collapse of a part of the city wall, the Mongolian army's firepower unfolded randomly, and each hidden firepower point on the city wall fired again.

  Many of the female soldiers in front fell down, but those behind continued to advance.

  Yang Junran glanced at Zhou Yulan's face not far away and clearly saw a sad expression.

  Seeing Zhou Yulan's sadness, Yang Junran felt very uncomfortable in his heart.

  "Twelfth company, follow me in a charge!" Yang Junran picked up his formal rifle and shouted loudly.

  The 12th battalion of the fourth column followed Yang Junran closely and launched an attack on the city wall.

  Zhou Yulan's face was somewhat surprised after seeing Yang Junran's actions.

  As Zhou Yulan's gaze followed, Yang Junran charged forward at the forefront of the troops, constantly running left and right to dodge the incoming bullets.

  The commander of the machine gun battalion, Zhang Junzhe, seeing his own commander launch a charge, immediately personally operated a 94-style mountain cannon and started firing.

  With a loud explosion, the light machine gun on the city wall, along with its bunker, was hit and quickly fell to the ground below.

  It just so happened that it almost hit Yang Junran, who was charging at the front.

  "What the...! Who is this? Does he want to kill me?" Yang Junran cursed, but didn't dwell on it and quickly ran towards the gap.

  The female soldiers in front had approached the gap, and the heavy machine guns that were bombed down from the city wall by the mountain cannons hit many of the female soldiers, causing injuries to at least a dozen people.

  Zhang Junzhe's face was somewhat unpleasant, and he looked around at the surrounding artillerymen with embarrassment.

  "Hold your fire for now, just provide cover with the machine guns." With that, Zhang Junzhe quickly ran towards the front machine gun company's position.

  In the county town, the command post of the Sixth Division.

  Hao Yan's face was getting uglier and uglier, with a somewhat iron-like complexion staring at the map in front of him.

  Two county towns not far from Duolun County still have no reaction, which makes Baoyantu very unhappy.

  "General, the National Army troops have already broken in, what should we do?" A man wearing a Mongolian military uniform ran in and said to Bao Yantu.

  Hao Yan Tu was shocked and stood up as soon as he heard it.

  "They, they've actually broken in?" Bao Yantu asked incredulously. According to his analysis, the troops outside wouldn't have been able to break in until dawn at the earliest.

  The current situation seems that the national army troops outside are not ordinary opponents.

  "Notify the cavalry division to quickly turn back outside the city and attack this National Army unit from the flank. The infantry inside the city will rely on their positions to resist, they must hold out until reinforcements arrive." Bao Yantu swiftly gave orders, he still had some command ability, as long as the cavalry division turned back to the outer perimeter, those artillery and heavy weapons that hadn't been transported in time would all become his spoils of war. The National Army unit that lost these things would probably be at its last gasp.

  Inside the Cavalry Division Command Center.

  Battel's face was full of worry, he was unwilling to fight with the National Army troops, at least he did not want his saber to be stained with the blood of his compatriots.

  That's right, he was the commander of the Mongolian cavalry division, but he never forgot that he was Chinese and strongly opposed Mongolian independence in any situation.

  "Give them a lesson, otherwise they will be in trouble sooner or later with such arrogance." Bater said helplessly, looking at the map in front of him.

  Bartel adjusted his military uniform and walked out towards the outside.

  The cavalry rushed out quickly towards the outside, these people's speed was extremely fast.

  The cavalryman's saber flashed in his hand, but he did not cut off anyone's head.

  Over a thousand cavalrymen began gathering outside the city, waiting for the order to attack.

  Zhang Junzhe was quite surprised after seeing these cavalrymen.

  Now the female soldiers and their own troops, most of them are already in the city, only a few heavy machine gun and mountain artillery units are here, once these cavalry come over, I'm afraid that these people will become the ghosts under the cavalry's saber.

  "Heavy machine gun, turn the muzzle, immediately contact with the female soldier team." Zhang Junzhe quickly gave orders.

  The fifteen heavy machine guns of the Machine Gun Battalion quickly traversed their muzzles and aimed at the distant cavalry troops.

  The female soldier on the side also discovered the threat of the cavalry and quickly changed her striking target.

  The external threat is very serious. As long as the troops here are settled, Yang Junran and Zhou Yulan's troops will not be able to escape from the cavalry's palm.

  On a vast open plain, most infantry encountered cavalry, which was a one-sided slaughter.

  Yang Junran in the county seat, however, was not idle, on the one hand organizing troops to attack, and on the other hand organizing troops to collect weapons from the ground.

  The female soldier on the side did not have such a leisurely mind, constantly attacking fiercely towards the depths of the city.

  Xu Da's flanking troops quickly advanced into the county town and completed their mission.

  "Deputy commander, just ahead is the county town. Shall we attack?" a regimental commander asked Xu Da, pointing to the distant county town.

  Xu Da took a look around and now the county town was already filled with gunfire. Shouldn't they stop waiting for the female soldier?

  Having thought of this, Xu Da quickly gave the order to attack.
