under fire

Chapter 1502 The number of people entering the city is wrong

The terrain of the Central Plains is flat.

For thousands of years, every time there was a war to change the dynasty, almost all of them took the form of siege of cities and villages.

The water level of the moat around Qinghe County is still at a high level, and the river surface is shimmering under the moonlight.

Surrounded by high walls, the county seat has no heavy artillery, and there is no difference between a storm and death.

The devils stationed in the county almost never considered the matter of daring to attack the county with three shots.

Facing such a fortified city, the deputy commander did not consider storming from beginning to end.

The moat became a stumbling block in front of the Eighth Route Army.

If you can't attack by force, then outsmart.

The Eighth Route Army was not without experience in attacking county towns. Usually, it had to send people to smuggle weapons into the city many days in advance, and then arrange for soldiers to sneak into the county town in batches in disguise.

This time the attack on Qinghe County was seriously insufficient.

The superior only issued an order to attack Qinghe County, but did not specify in detail how to attack the city.

Fortunately, during the period of contact between the First Regiment and the Nine Battalion, I learned a lot about the Nine Battalion disguised as an enemy, overcoming the wall and attacking at night, and learned a lot from the experience of the Nine Battalion's many night raids on the county.

The devils placed searchlights on the city walls, so they couldn't get close to the gates and the city walls. The various tactics and tactics left by our ancestors were all useless.

Of course, there are intelligence agents arranged by the Eighth Route Army in the city, but it is completely impossible to win a city gate with their ability.

On top of that, it was completely impossible to get in touch with them most of the night.

The armed task force spends most of their time in scattered activities, and occasionally meets together to study and discuss. Naturally, they have also studied how to attack the county.

There are not a hundred ways to attack cities and villages, but at least eighty ways have been discussed.

Sending people to pretend to be the puppet army or the family members of the Xin army to deceive the city gate is only one of the ways.

The Wu family's father and son still have a bit of conscience. If there is no conscience, grass has grown on the grave.
This time, the happiness was too sudden, and it was his turn to fight the county seat!

Commanders at all levels offered their ideas one after another, and soon discovered that...

The commanders of the main regiment who had no actual combat experience suddenly realized that this battle seemed not so easy to fight, because they had to face countless unpredictable problems.

There is no way to achieve timely and effective team communication and order coordination.

The main force is also poor, and so far they don't even have signal flares.

Ordinary soldiers in the era of cold weapons first commanded the formation by the generals, and then listened to the commanders and corporals yelling in the direction pointed by the commander's flag to adjust the direction and rhythm of the attack.

Attack the drums, retreat and beat the gongs.

The Eighth Route Army was not much better, and there seemed to be no other way than to blow the charge and rush forward in a swarm.

Fighting guerrilla warfare does not require too many arrangements. Find a favorable terrain such as a hill, pass or bushes to move people to the two sides, dig a hole in the middle of the road and bury two mines to form an ambush position.

Immediately, a commander suggested using lanterns to command, which was a good idea, but it was a pity that the black lantern lighting a lantern blindly was the result of calling the devils to throw a grenadier. Moreover, the distance between the various ministries was too far away, and there was a lot of gunpowder smoke on the battlefield, so the lantern didn't work.

Therefore, the final method for this attack was to ask the old man of the Wu family to call the door, sneak in a dozen or so skilled fighters, and wipe out the puppet army guarding the city gate and the ghost supervisor sleeping on the tower.

sneak attack!

There is only one squadron of devils resident in the county seat. This time, two squadrons were transferred for reinforcements, and the devils stationed in various nearby towns and gun towers were almost exhausted.

The puppet regiment leader Wu also brought most of the puppet troops stationed in the county as reinforcements. After such a deployment, the county was empty.

The devils have occupied the county for many years, and they have long been used to taking time out of the city to raid in spring, summer and autumn.

From time to time, the mouse-like Eight Routes would set up an ambush to attack the food requisition team of the Imperial Army and the Imperial Association Army.

No one would have thought that the eighth road would dare to attack the county.

An hour ago, Wang Xiaosan, who was still a cook, was leading a squad, and under the cover of Wu Zeguo, who was the puppet regiment leader, Lao Tzu, slipped into the city gate through the city gate that was slightly opened.

Then, the city gate closed again.

It is not easy for seven or eight strong men to kill a Chinese New Year pig, let alone kill the puppet army guarding the city gate silently.

The weather was so hot that the puppet soldiers who couldn't stay in the house slept directly on the street with bamboo cots and even big dustpans.

As long as there is a puppet army screaming like a pig before dying, the surprise attack will be considered a failure.

After the group entered the city gate, the sound of footsteps awakened several dogs lying nearby.

The barking of dogs one after another made the hearts of a group of soldiers dressed as guards tremble.
The puppet army who opened the gate was stabbed to death, and the city gate smoothly fell into the hands of commandos led by Wang Xiaosan.

For the team of nearly a thousand people hidden outside the moat, the only option is to wait.

"Hey, those daredevils... seem to be cooking fires in the autonomous army?"

"What does it look like? It's just that I saw him cooking for the autonomous army before." Another team member who didn't finish the meal was growling.

"Captain, this matter is called Lisuo if we do it."

"That's right, why didn't you fight for this main task with the chief?"

"Shut up!" Captain Zhang of the armed task force who failed to catch the assault lowered his voice.

If it was a day ago, Zhang Dagui would not have believed in the combat effectiveness of the autonomous army at all.

But now, he had to believe it, because the chief personally named the people from the autonomous army to go!
The chief's vision is extraordinary!
The action of the commando was very agile.

Killing chickens and dogs with a kitchen knife and killing people seem to be completely different things.

But the soldiers who cut potatoes with knives all day long, their movements are so smooth.

At the county office in the center of Qinghe County, a group of left-behind devils were guarding the radio station.

Keep in touch with the besieged Xiong Erlang.

The communication efficiency of the radio station is low, so it is naturally much faster to call the Lu Provincial Division Headquarters.

The so-called hotline means that the phone will never stop once it is connected, and the wire phone line is hot.

The radio made a beeping sound, and from time to time the roar of the devil commander could be heard.

It was late at night, and they were using this most primitive method to cheer for Xiong Erlang on the other side of the radio station.

No matter how cunning, in the face of such a large-scale and orderly slaughter by the imperial soldiers, it will only produce the deepest sense of despair.

Devils also have the tradition of reporting good news but not bad news.

As a result, until now, the devils in Qinghe County have not received accurate battle reports from Xiong Erlang's department and the reinforcement captain.

The rank of the highest commander left behind in the county is only a lieutenant of the gendarmerie.

He commanded the Devils Gendarmerie to catch the anti-Japanese elements in the county, and he could think of a thousand ways.

However, he suddenly felt a little powerless when he suddenly became an information transfer station.

He is very clear about the overjoyed temper of the imperial elites.

Under the dim electric light, he finally stopped and paced back and forth, pricking up his ears to listen carefully to the barking of dogs coming from the city gate.

This time the barking seemed to last much longer than before.

He secretly swore in his heart that tomorrow, yes, tomorrow, there must be a notice to kill all the dogs in the city!

The radio never stops, the phone never hangs up
A group of puppet soldiers were on the gate of the city, and Mrs. Wu, who was watching entering the city, led people to the street.

A puppet soldier suddenly asked a question: "No, Mr. Wu brought a dozen guards into the city gate, why are there only three behind him now?"

The other puppet soldier didn't even lift his head: "Maybe. He just slipped away to visit a brothel."

"Speaking of business, Balu even the Taijun dares to make a move, will it?"

"Meeting your mother, who is Mrs. Wu? He is the head of the regiment, my father, will he still cheat our regiment leader?"
