493 Waiting for an opportunity

The silence is quiet, and there is a faint shadow reflected in the hazy moonlight, if you remove the fear of the night of human beings, it seems extraordinarily peaceful in the dead night.

It's just that this tranquility was quickly broken by a group of footsteps, these footsteps were not neat, and obviously deliberately suppressed the sound of the sound, but unfortunately, the soles of human feet have evolved, after all, they are not as fleshy as animals, and they can walk barefoot on the road, ensuring that they are silent.

Straw sandals or cloth shoes, although the whole is tattered, occasionally stepping on the gravel, under the weight, it will still make a crisp sound, even stepping on the heavy and loose dirt, it will make a dull pop sound.

On the left flank of the south gate of Linfen, of course, it is far from arriving at the west gate of Linfen, if you have to make a digital comparison of the image, it is probably at the 110 path from the south gate of Linfen to the west gate, after more than half an hour of sneaking, under the leadership of Duan Peng and the first battalion commander Shi Wencai, the new third regiment team that carried out the task of sneaking into the top of the city late at night to sneak attack the Japanese army finally arrived at the destination.

At the same time, Zhou Daniu and Zhang Dabiao's other team was almost at the place.

The two sides moved almost simultaneously, with two and a half commandos taking the lead in climbing the walls.

The climbing rope tied to the iron hook was thrown to the top of the city by Duan Peng himself, Duan Peng's accuracy and luck were good, the iron hook smoothly hooked the flank of the city wall, the iron hook and the masonry collided, making a crisp sound, the sound came far away in this dead night, but the distance of everyone at this moment was more than half an hour away from the south gate guarded by the Japanese army, and this little movement could not be transmitted there.

It was really a matter of letting the Japanese army think about breaking their heads, and they couldn't expect Han Feng to attack the city in this way, and the Japanese captain Saburo Tani was also cautious, and placed sentries at a distance of several hundred meters on the left and right wings of the city gate.

It's just that further afield, the Japanese army felt that there was no need to waste their troops there, so they didn't send people to guard it, and in their minds, unless the enemy really knew how to fly over the wall, they only needed to hold the city gate.

To put it another way, if the enemy can really fly through the wall, what is the use of defending the city gate?

What it means is that under the defenselessness of the Japanese army, the two teams of Duan Peng and Zhou Daniu began to climb the city wall.

Duan Peng pulled the rope, it was very firm, and he was the first to start climbing.

Duan Peng's movements were agile and fast, and it only took a moment to climb the eight or nine meters high city wall with the help of the climbing rope, and after reaching the top of the city, he firmly hooked all the iron hooks at the front of all the climbing ropes to the city wall, put down the climbing ropes, and let the other fighters start climbing.

The other fighters were far inferior to Duan Peng, so naturally they could not have the agility and speed of him, but when he was leaving, the regiment commander Han Feng specially explained that everyone had plenty of time to act this time, and the most important thing was to ensure absolute concealment and surprise attack.

The climbers obviously knew this, so they were not in a hurry, and even if the speed was slower, they succeeded in climbing at a very steady pace.

Of course, there are also failures, this person will inevitably slip his hands, and a veteran of the independent regiment accidentally fell from the climb and smashed to the ground, but fortunately, he had just climbed more than two meters high, although he fell firmly, but it was not a big deal.

"Lao Tian, are you okay?"

"It's okay!"

"Can it work? If you can't do it, you can go back and fight with the big army, and we won't have a lot of you. ”

"Battalion commander, you just look down on me when you say this, don't you just fall down! It's not a big deal, do it again, I'll be able to climb it up one more time. ”

They are all warriors who are not afraid of death, and if they are defeated and go back in disgrace at this time, they may not be laughed at by their brothers in the future, and no one will be able to pull down this old face.

Zhang Dabiao had no choice but to explain to the others: "Go on, move slowly, don't see the devil, I'll fold here first." ”

The climbing continues.

Time flickered, more and more into the night, it should be around one or two o'clock in the morning, the surrounding more and more dead silence, this time is the deepest time to fall asleep.

Not to mention the sleeping little devils, but the Japanese soldiers who were holding on to their eyes and sentry, even if they had just replaced the guard, they couldn't help but start yawning.

They listened to the dead silence outside the city gate, and noticed from the reconnaissance that the Eighth Route lying on the flank of the trench was still asleep, and slowly put their minds at ease, a little self-deprecating, the Eighth Route Army is also human, since they will all be sleepy, the enemy naturally needs to rest.

As everyone knows, in less than half an hour, whether it is Duan Peng's side or Zhou Daniu's side, all of them have climbed to the top of the city.

50 climbing ropes, 50 people at a time, even if it takes three or five minutes of effort, all 500 people climb to the top of the city, even if you add the light and heavy machine guns hanging up from behind, it only takes about 30 minutes.

After the men of both sides immediately reached the top of the city, all the cats marched forward on their waists.

If you look at it from below, you can see black shadows flickering through the gap between the battlements on the top of the castle.

Under the leadership of Duan Peng and Shi Wencai, the raid team on the left flank began to move towards the Nanchengmen Tower where the Japanese army was stationed.

The raiding party on the right flank also began to operate at the agreed time between the two sides.

In this way, the long shadow of 500 people marched on the edge of the battlement, against the city wall, through the darkness projected by the battlement.

They almost all walked forward on tiptoe one by one, so as not to make too much noise, and after advancing for less than half an hour, Duan Peng, who led the team, suddenly stretched out his hand in the dark night, and the whole team stopped.

Fifty meters away, there is a rudimentary observation tower, built to observe the enemy around the city walls, every 500 meters or 1,000 meters.

Chuan Peng and his entourage had also encountered the observation building before, but the observation building was empty, and there were no Japanese sentries guarding it, so it should be close to the gate of the southern city, so the Japanese army specially sent people to guard it.

Then there was no way, if you want to continue to move forward and move closer to the south gate, you can only kill the sentries in the Japanese observation tower without knowing it.

This kind of task was naturally entrusted to the commandos, and Duan Peng, in order to ensure that he personally took action, signaled the team to wait for a while, and continued to approach the observation tower along the outer city wall.

This way of penetrating, even in the daytime, because the Japanese army did not expect the enemy to appear on the top of the city, as long as the sentry's line of sight did not happen to be projected, they might not be able to find Duan Peng, let alone in the middle of the night, the moonlight was hazy, and it was dark everywhere, plus at two o'clock in the morning, the sentry was already sleepy, so it was naturally impossible to find Duan Peng who was hiding and moving forward.

The only sound was also the last sound that could be made before his death, and the devil who was covered with his mouth and nose snorted and was cut off by Duan Peng.

Moments later, a long black shadow circled the observation tower and continued on its way.

Zhang Dabiao and his entourage have Zhou Daniu and others there, so naturally they are also in danger.

The two teams quickly took out one of the closest observation towers of the Japanese army, less than 300 meters from the south gate, and within the next 300 meters, the Japanese sentinels increased massively, almost every 50 paces.

It was impossible to continue to penetrate, and the two sides of the centaurs lurked, passing the signal that they were already in place, secretly waiting for the two commanders to attack the city and the best time for a sneak attack......
