At the north gate of Laiyuan City, more than 100 puppet soldiers are on duty at the head of the city! Five steps, one post, ten steps and one sentry, the security is very strict!

Originally, there were more than a dozen devils on duty here, but because they were too tired, two hours ago, they collectively went into the barracks behind the city wall to sleep!

The company commander of the puppet army and the three platoon commanders also slipped into the barracks one after another to rest!

Of course, that doesn't mean they're careless!

The main forces of the garrison all attacked, and the small monitoring units left by the garrison regiment outside the city all left with the main force!

And if nothing else, after tonight, the garrison will be devastated!

Therefore, in the eyes of the Japanese puppet army left behind, Laiyuan City is safer than ever, and I never thought that the garrison regiment that was about to be destroyed would turn around and attack here!

Suddenly, several sporadic torches appeared at the end of the road outside the north gate, and then more and more, and soon joined together, forming a fire dragon, and rushed towards the north gate!

"Someone is coming, everyone is on guard, and immediately notify the platoon commander and company commander to go to the city wall!" A puppet army squad leader shouted!

When the company commander rushed to the top of the city, the fire dragon was less than five hundred meters away from the city gate!

Everyone looked nervously out of the city!

"Company commander, could it be that the Eighth Route Army sneak attacked Laiyuan City!" The platoon commander asked nervously!

Judging by the number of torches, the other side is close to a thousand!

If it is really an enemy, with these people on the head of the city, even if they hold it and block the opponent's attack, the troops will suffer heavy casualties!

And the disparity between the forces of the two sides is so big, the chance of holding the city is definitely not great!

"Don't you have a brain?" The company commander frowned and scolded!

"If they are the Eighth Route Army and want to sneak attack Laiyuan City, they will take the road with such fanfare, and they will rush over with torches, isn't this exposing the target?"

"And there is a telegram from the military headquarters of the Imperial Army, and the main force of the garrison regiment is on the blockade line, even if there is the Eighth Route Army near Laiyuan, it is also a small force, a local army, and stragglers, how can so many people pop up at once!"

"And who are they? Could it be the main force that went out of the city in the middle of the night? The platoon commander continued to ask!

The company commander thought the same thing in his heart, but he didn't say it!

According to the plan, the troops out of the city should fight all the way to the blockade line and attack the main force of the garrison there!

If the troops outside the city are really them, there is only one possibility, they had some accident on the way to the blockade line and had to retreat to Laiyuan City!

If that's the case, then it's a big deal!

When the troops went out, there were nearly 2,000 people, and now there are not even 1,000 people rushing over, and if there is an accident, the less than 1,000 people will be gone!

Laiyuan City is garrisoned at this point, losing more than 1,000 people at once, if the garrison group takes the opportunity to attack again, Laiyuan City will be difficult to hold!

If Laiyuan City is lost, and the surrounding garrison regiment base is located, then there are only two ways to choose.

Either bury the devil and die here in battle, and completely wear the hat of a traitor!

Either surrender to the Eighth Route Army and take prisoners of the Eighth Route Army!

For the company commander, neither one is what he wants!

He doesn't want to die, he doesn't want to be a prisoner, he still wants to continue to be a company commander, show off his might, and be clothed and fed.

And if you want to do this, there is only one way, to hold Laiyuan City.

"Company commander, they are here, looking at the military uniforms as if they are their own people!" The platoon commander suddenly shouted, interrupting the company commander's thoughts!

"It's my own people, and there are a lot of wounded in the middle of the team, so there must have been an accident on the way to the attacking troops!" The company commander wrinkled his brows and judged!

"Company Commander Li, what's going on?" More than a dozen devils suddenly rushed to the city, and when they saw the troops outside the city, the devil who took the lead, Cao Chang, asked directly with a nervous face!

In front of the Japanese, the company commander is like a different person!

The current status and wealth are all given by the Japanese.

So in the face of his master, he didn't have the heart to resist at all, and even his voice was deliberately lowered, except for compliments or compliments!

hurriedly replied: "Taijun, it seems that something happened to our troops out of the city!" ”

"Nani?" The devil Cao Chang also showed a shocked expression!

He also knew the importance of the attack force to Laiyuan City!

But this did not deter the vigilance!

In his eyes, there were nearly 2,000 troops attacking, and even if the main force of the garrison regiment was all on board, it would not be possible to suffer heavy losses in such a short time!

So there is also a possibility that the garrison regiment deliberately took out the city troops to make a fuss, pretending to be out of the city troops to open the city gate, so as to take Laiyuan City!

Thinking of this, the devil soldier Cao immediately ordered: "Shoot immediately, let them stop a hundred meters outside the city, the officers come out to speak, and only after determining their specific identities can they approach the city wall and let them into the city!" ”

"Yes, Taijun!"

The company commander faithfully carried out the order and stopped the troops a hundred meters away!

"Regiment commander, there are only more than 100 people in the city, and it seems that most of them are puppet soldiers. It's too troublesome to wait and wait, or I'll just lead someone to kill it! Liu Senyun shouted that he was very dissatisfied with the little devil's caution, and shouted with a hint of anxiety.

"Wait!"

Li Hao stopped Liu Senyun, who wanted to rush forward, and pointed to the city and said!

"Someone came out, they should have come to confirm our identity!"

"Don't be impulsive, it's best to enter Laiyuan City without a single shot, so that the casualties of the comrades can be minimized!"

"Although the hard rush can also be killed, the casualties of the troops must be very large!"

After speaking, Li Hao shifted his gaze to the puppet army battalion commander next to him.

"Camp Commander Zhang, whether we can enter Laiyuan City smoothly or not, it's up to you next!"

"Don't worry, Commander! Since I have decided to join the Eighth Route Army, I am a member of the Eighth Route Army, and I will definitely find a way to make them believe in us and let us into the city! Camp Commander Zhang replied confidently!

Two hours ago, after confirming that Li Hao was the head of the garrison regiment, in the face of Li Hao's invitation, Battalion Commander Zhou, who didn't want to work for the devil, decisively abandoned the darkness and decided to join the garrison regiment!

Li Hao was also very happy, and appointed Camp Commander Zhou as the deputy commander of the special service battalion on the spot!

Three months later, as long as the requirements of the Eighth Route Army are met, he will directly go to the army to serve as the captain of the county brigade!

The county brigade of the garrison regiment is not an ordinary local army, in terms of strength, it is stronger than many main forces of the Eighth Route Army!

As a puppet army officer, after joining the Eighth Route Army, not only was he not discriminated against and suppressed, but was entrusted with important tasks, and the idea of dying as a confidant involuntarily came to his heart!

So when he heard that the regiment commander asked him to cooperate and take Laiyuan City, Battalion Commander Zhou agreed without thinking about it, and decided to take this credit as a welcome gift for himself to join the garrison regiment!

After speaking, Battalion Commander Zhou rushed out of the team with two veterans with a angry face, and shouted from afar!

"Bastard, don't you see it's your own people? Even your own people are shooting, are you tired of being alive, tell you, Your Excellency the Commander is in the middle of the pair, and he is injured, if there is an accident because of your delay, everyone in the city will be buried with him! ”
