The battle lasted until 3 o'clock in the morning. The Fourth Army entered the city from Fucheng Gate, Xizhi Gate, and Desheng Gate. So far, the defeat has been determined, but some still continue to resist.

A quarter past 3 a.m., Cai Yaxiong led the 11th Division into the city from Andingmen, and went straight to the Japanese front army headquarters, intelligence agency, and Chaoyangmen barracks.

The Fourth Army has entered Beiping City from the north, east and west, and only the Yongding Gate in the south is still in the hands of the Japanese.

Yongding Gate is relatively close to the Temple of Heaven, and the vicinity of the Temple of Heaven is where the Japanese army garrisoned troops. It has complete fortifications and more garrison troops than in other directions.

Jia Dalin personally commanded the 10th Division of the Fourth Army to attack Yongding Gate. The city wall was tall and the surrounding attacking troops mainly served to contain the Japanese firepower.

The real breakthrough lies within the city.

Rong Ziheng had died at the hands of Jiang Dong. In order to save the remaining members of the Rong family, Rong Zhen was willing to risk everything. He personally encouraged a regiment of puppet troops to attack Yongding Gate.

The battle lasted for more than three hours. The Japanese troops defending the city tended to become more courageous as they fought, while the soldiers of the Imperial Alliance Army were wilting.

There were more than 2,000 people in one regiment and more than 500 casualties. This made the puppet troops lose all fighting spirit and hesitated to attack. Some of the firepower points that were finally defeated were filled by the Japanese army.

Seeing this, Rong Zhen was anxious in his heart. He wanted to find support, but except for a few soldiers from the hunter brigade who were responsible for supervising and monitoring, there were only a few people who didn't know how to fight, such as Du Xijun and Wang Kejing.

Beiping City is very large. Although other city gates have been breached, it will take some time for the reinforcements to reach Yongding Gate.

The attack on Yongding Gate was Rong Zhen's own request. Now that he has been unable to attack it for a long time, not only did he fail to attack it, but he may also be held responsible.

The person in charge of commanding the city was Tanaka Takayoshi, who had left the military hall. The poor performance of the Imperial Army soldiers made him feel so good that he stood on the city wall and screamed.

The front army headquarters, intelligence agencies, military camps and other city gates may have been captured, but as long as the Anding Gate can be defended, the imperial army will not lose the city of Peiping.

The ten-meter-high city wall deterred the attacking troops outside the city, and Tanaka Takayoshi's attention was always focused on the city.

It stands to reason that the extermination plan has already begun, but why has there never been a fire in the direction of the Forbidden City?

Tanaka Ryukichi laughed for a while, his eyes widened, his teeth clenched, he looked in the direction of the inner city and roared like a trapped animal, his eyes gradually turned red.

"Boom boom boom..."

The troops outside the city have been shelling the city wall, and many light and heavy machine guns have been blown up.

The light from the flares flickered and illuminated the city wall, making the area around Yongding Gate almost the same as daylight.

More than 1,000 Japanese soldiers stood at their fighting positions either numbly or desperately. Under the flares, their faces looked even paler.

The seriously wounded had committed suicide, so apart from the sound of gunfire, no groans of pain could be heard from the Andingmen.

More than half an hour passed, and it would be dawn in another hour. Jia Dalin outside the city was not in a hurry, but Rong Zhen inside the city was already anxious and had blisters on his lips.

The puppet soldiers had given up their plans to continue the attack, and some had even deserted.

When Rong Zhen was at a loss what to do, Yuan Fei, captain of the third squadron of the Hunter Brigade, appeared in front of him.

Behind Yuan Fei were about a battalion of National Army soldiers.

Rong Zhen wanted to explain a few words, but when he saw Yuan Fei's cold gaze, he hesitated to speak and stepped aside involuntarily.

The reinforcements brought by Yuan Fei came from the direction of Fucheng Gate and belonged to the 12th Division.

When the brothers of the 12th Division arrived at Andingmen, they immediately launched an attack without saying much nonsense.

The most effective way to deal with the sandbag fortifications above and below the city wall is direct firepower such as rocket launchers and mortars!

The Imperial Army retreated, and heavily armed national soldiers appeared in Tanaka Ryukichi's blood-red eyes.

The Japanese soldiers felt like they were facing a powerful enemy, and their breathing became rapid.

Sadness appeared in Tanaka Takayoshi's heart. Before he could express his emotions, rockets with black smoke came straight towards the tower.

"Boom boom boom..."

The instantaneous firepower was countless times stronger than that of the Imperial Alliance Army. There were constant explosions on the city wall, and human bodies and sandbags flew and flipped in the air, and then fell screaming.

"Boom, boom, boom..."

More than a dozen 50mm and 80mm mortars were lined up on Yongdingmen Street. After a simple calibration, they immediately fired. The shells almost followed the rockets and fell into the city wall!

The city tower was instantly engulfed in the explosion of fire. Yongding Gate was like a huge torch, and the blazing flames attracted the attention of people from both inside and outside.

Just after the explosion, fierce gunfire came from the city walls on the east and west sides of Yongding Gate. The 11th and 12th Divisions came over from the city walls!

Yuan Fei stood next to Rong Zhen with his hands folded, watching the soldiers neatly cross the sandbag bunker under the Japanese city, and under the cover of mortars and rocket launchers, headed towards the city tower with submachine guns.

The Japanese army had never enjoyed such a three-dimensional fire attack before. They couldn't bear it at all. Countless black shadows fell from the city wall for a while.

"Pa bang bang..."

The sound of a human body falling to the ground and being smashed into meat kept reaching the ears of Rong Zhen and the puppet soldiers. They were all frightened, not even daring to breathe, and stood there in a daze.

Under fire from four directions, it took just over half an hour for the Japanese troops around Yongding Gate to be squeezed onto a section of the city wall that was less than a hundred meters long.

"Go open the door!"

Yuan Fei looked at the city wall where the sound of gunfire gradually subsided, and said coldly to Rong Zhen beside him.

"Oh, okay, okay..." Rong Zhen was stunned for a moment, then couldn't stop nodding.

The city gate had been sealed with sandbags, and the puppet soldiers who had not deserted, led by Rong Zhen, began to move the sandbags quickly.

It's just that when they are working, they can't help but glance at the city wall, always paying attention to what's going on there.

The last few hundred Japanese soldiers huddled together, back to back with bayonets in hand, wary of the Chinese soldiers who were gradually approaching.

The Japanese soldiers grinned and tried to look as ferocious as possible, but the shaking bayonets revealed the fear in their hearts.

Tanaka Takayoshi was surrounded by soldiers. He clucked and waved his command sword like a defeated rooster.

After 4 o'clock, a hint of white fish belly appeared on the horizon, and the sun would emerge from the east in less than an hour.

The sound of gunfire gradually stopped in the city of Peiping, and only the smoke of gunfire was still floating.

Tanaka Takayoshi guessed in his heart that in the whole of Peking, only these warriors around him were resisting.

"ah!"

Agent Dog shouted and ordered the soldiers on the perimeter to charge towards the Chinese soldiers at both ends of the city wall.

"Onboard!"

The Japanese soldiers subconsciously shouted "Banzai" to embolden themselves.

He walked over the corpses on the ground with his bow legs, wanting to end his life in the most samurai way.

"Hmph, who the hell is going to stab you hand-to-hand!

Go and have a cannon fight, you idiot!"

A soldier carrying a rocket launcher snorted coldly and at the same time pulled the launch trigger of the rocket launcher.

"call out!"

"boom!"

Several Japanese soldiers had just rushed out less than 10 meters when they collided with rockets and were instantly blown into pieces of flesh and flew off the city wall.

Every time there is a first rocket, there is a second, third...

Many soldiers even fired rockets directly into the pile of Japanese soldiers, and suddenly there was only blood in the sky.

Tanaka Ryukichi climbed up from the pile of flesh and blood, the anger in his eyes turning into endless hatred.

The Chinese people are so despicable and shameless. The warriors just want a dignified death, but they are unable to do so.

There were some shrapnel on his body, but he couldn't feel any pain at this time.

The command knife was raised above his head again and he rushed towards a major officer.

The two sides were a hundred meters apart, and Tanaka Takayoshi was running while paying attention to the surrounding situation.

Something that made him feel deeply desperate happened again.

Two rockets were fired at his ankles from both front and back directions.

"ah!"

I just want a decent death, why can’t the Chinese be satisfied?

"boom!"

Major General Tanaka Takayoshi, the head of the North China Intelligence Agency, only had time to let out a desperate roar before the explosion of two rockets turned into a rain of blood.

In this final battle, no one shouted surrender, and no one wanted to accept surrender.

The entire city wall had completely turned into a flesh and blood mill, with mutilated limbs and minced meat everywhere. After the gunfire stopped, the sound of blood flowing could be heard in the ears.

Seeing the blood flowing down the city wall like rain, the puppet soldiers' faces turned earth-colored and they were so timid that they peed on the spot.

On the other side, An Ziliang has successfully occupied the North China Front Army Headquarters.

Major General Sanji Oshiroto, the chief of staff of the Japanese North China Front, was shot in the stomach, but it seemed that he would not die for a while.

When he saw the Chinese soldiers approaching him, the Major General not only did not shoot himself immediately, but instead smiled miserably and threw the gun aside.

This action made the soldiers who were about to deal with it on the spot also be stunned.

Why don't the Japanese generals play their cards according to common sense? How energetic are your warriors?

How did this soldier know that after Okamura Neji gave the 28th and 31st Divisions the order to surrender unconditionally and died in Jinan, Ochido Sanji already had the idea of ​​giving up resistance.

If it weren't for Tanaka Takayoshi's toughness, Ojodo Sanji would probably have opened the door to the city.

An Ziliang dragged one leg into the messy front army headquarters. Sanji Ojoto had raised his hands above his head and was begging the soldiers to help him treat his injuries.

"He is a major general and his position is not low. Let's spare his life and act like a monkey when we enter the city!"

An Ziliang's words saved Ojoto Sanji's life.
