Chapter 254 Sleepless Night
The communications officer just left with the order signed by the commander, and another communications officer rushed in.
This time, before the commander had time to speak, the communications officer rushed to report.
"Commander, Chief of Staff, and Commander Chen's telegram, start the siege on time at 9 o'clock in the evening. Now there is less than half an hour before the attack!"
"There is finally news!" The Chief of Staff could feel the commander in front of him breathing a sigh of relief, and then ordered with anticipation on his face.
"I will hand it back to Commander Chen, and I will hand it over to him on the front line. Logistics Director Zhang has already moved 5,000 people in the base area to wait on the edge of the base area. As soon as Laiyuan City is broken, the people will be mobilized to transport supplies immediately and handed over to Director Zhang to the base area for scattered and hidden!"
"Also, tell Captain Chen that you must control the retreat time and don't be stuck with the Japanese. If there is any situation, please telegram and contact the military sub-district immediately!"
Tonight is destined to be an unforgettable night. Laiyuan City, completely shrouded in the night, is covered with patrol troops everywhere despite being heavily guarded. However, because the Japanese and puppet troops have been tense, it was fine at the beginning, but as time goes by, it has become very tired now.
When people are tired, they will relax. The Japanese are better, but the Imperial Army, which undertakes the main patrol mission at night, can't stand it.
"Boom boom boom..." At this moment, an explosion suddenly sounded around Laiyuan City. The fireballs suddenly rose up like huge torches, blew up the four gates of Laiyuan City.
The Imperial Army, who was patrolling the city, was shocked at first and immediately realized that someone was going to attack Laiyuan City, otherwise there would not be such fierce artillery fire.
"Support the city gate quickly, someone wants to attack the city!" The Japanese instructor scattered among the Imperial Army immediately issued an order to the soldiers he trained.
Although the Imperial Army looked reluctant, the fear of the Japanese instructors still held a gun and ran towards the city gate with a reluctance.
"Dadadada!" At this moment, a string of gunfire suddenly rang around them.
The Japanese instructor and several officers all fell to the ground. The remaining soldiers of the Imperial Army were startled at first. Before they could react, more than 20 middle-aged men wearing ordinary people rushed out with guns.
"No movement is allowed. We are the Eighth Route Army. Whoever moves to kill will kill!" The middle-aged man in the team waved his hand, and more than twenty people surrounded the nearest platoon of the Imperial Army, and then ordered loudly.
Because the Eighth Route Army lurked in the yards on both sides of the street, they fired when the Imperial Army walked in front of them, and then rushed to the streets in just five seconds.
The Imperial Army, who was in panic because of losing the command of the officer, was surrounded without any time to make any moves, and was pointed at by more than twenty black gun barrels.
"I surrender, commander of the Eighth Route Army, I surrender, don't kill us!" A timid Imperial Army kneeled directly on the ground when his legs were weak.
More than 20 imperial troops all knelt on the ground and shouted for surrender.
Five minutes later, a team of Imperial Army carrying rifles reappeared on the street. After sorting out the formation, they rushed towards the city gate, as if they were to reinforce the city gate.
At this time, if someone witnessed the firefight just now, he would definitely recognize that these more than 20 imperial alliance troops were not the imperial alliance troops just now.
As for the real Imperial Army, they were all stripped of military uniforms at this time, tied up them into rice dumplings, and locked up in the yard where the Eighth Route Army had just hidden.
The same thing happens in Laiyuan City.
The only difference is that some of the targets of these lurking troops attacked each other were squads and platoons, but the final result was only one, that was success.
After all, the Eighth Route Army soldiers who entered the city were all elite veterans drawn by the commander from the two main regiments of the military sub-district. Not to mention the easy way to deal with the Japanese one-on-one, there will definitely be no problem in dealing with a group of Imperial Army troops, and it is easy to capture it.
The four Eighth Route Army soldiers, wearing Imperial Army uniforms, were not investigated along the way and rushed directly to the four city gates.
You know, the sudden shelling not only caused the Imperial Army to panic, but also the Japanese.
Because Laiyuan City has had a precedent of being raided by the Eighth Route Army, and there were few defenders in Laiyuan City, they were suddenly attacked and were not sure about the strength of the opponent, it was impossible not to panic.
Nakasa Watanabe, who was staying in Laiyuan City, was already in a hurry in Laiyuan City and kept giving orders.
"Why didn't the artillery squadron fight back? Counterattack immediately and destroy the Eighth Route Army artillery units. The warriors must not be allowed to fight under the enemy's artillery fire!" Watanabe, who had just turned around in the war room, stared at the deputy captain beside him and questioned.
"Hi, I will give orders immediately!" The combat staff rushed out of the war room.
As soon as he left, a lieutenant rushed in.
"The captain, the Imperial Army who defended the South Gate, reported that the Eighth Route Army began to attack. They had heavy machine guns, grenade launchers, and at least one battalion of total troops. The attack was very fierce. Please support!"
"Baga, what does the Imperial Army do for? The Eighth Route Army needs support as soon as it starts its attack. Tell them, guard the city walls for me, and shoot whoever retreats, and the two teams of Imperial Army will immediately go back to reinforce."
Not long after, the defenders from the remaining three directions of Laiyuan City called and asked Watanabe Nakasa to reinforce.
After sending two infantry squadrons in a row, Watanabe had to face the fact that he had no troops in his hands!
"Bageya Road, the cunning Eighth Route Army, really knows how to choose time to attack Laiyuan City. Check it out immediately. I want to know where so many Eighth Route Army with strong combat power came from outside the city. When did so many Eighth Route Army emerge in Laiyuan City? In addition to an independent regiment, there are so many people!"
"Also, immediately draw at least one infantry squadron from the arsenal and the guards of the headquarters to report to the headquarters. The Eighth Route Army's offensive was too fierce, and the headquarters could not respond without a reserve force!"
"Finally, contact the General, Laiyuan City was attacked by at least two main regiments of the Eighth Route Army. It was in danger and asked for reinforcements."
What Watanabe didn't know was that when the troops he sent were still rushing to various city gates, the Eighth Route Army lurking troops disguised as the Imperial Army had already touched the city wall without any danger.
"Attack the enemy with grenades in scatteredly, first blow up the Japanese instructors and the Imperial Army officers, and disrupt them! Pay attention to protecting yourself." On the south gate wall, the platoon leader of the Eighth Route Army led the team whispered to the outside of the city under the threat of Japanese invaders and officers.
Just then, a company commander of the Imperial Army shouted to them: "Why are you all standing there? Are you waiting to die?"
"Immediately dispersed to participate in the battle, the Imperial Army said, block the Eighth Route Army's attack and defend Laiyuan City, each person will receive five yuan in the ocean!"
The platoon leader would certainly not let go of the opportunity to scatter the attack on the Imperial Army so well, and immediately ordered: "Start the action!"
After the order was delivered, the platoon leader with a grenade hidden in his sleeve ran towards a Japanese instructor he was targeting.
Because there was a heavy machine gun here, the platoon leader had no idea of showing mercy.
He threw the grenade that was pulling the fire directly under the Japanese butt, and then shot it to the side.
This is the battlefield full of gunfire, explosions, and soldiers' yelling. Although the Japanese instructor was very alert, he still did not see a grenade with white smoke coming from behind.
After all, on the battlefield where bullets are flying, what he is most concerned about is the enemy in front of him, not his back.
As for the smell of gunpowder, there is a strong and pungent smell everywhere on the city walls, and there is no difference between more and less!
