As the Japanese army was fighting smoothly on the front, the Japanese army also began to think about maintaining stability in the rear. In order to ensure stability in the rear, the Japanese army dispatched squadrons or squads from the main combat forces to be stationed in the various county towns occupied along the way.

As for those towns or villages, the little devils can't draw too many troops for the time being, so they can only give up for the time being. If the county seat is controlled, there will be no big mess in the township or rural areas. When the war is over, puppet governments at all levels will be formed.

As far as the Japanese army was concerned, they still clearly wanted to annex the Celestial Empire, and they were far from being able to completely control it by their own strength. Under such circumstances, the Japanese army also managed to win over a group of traitors and traitors.

Form a puppet government like the puppet state of Manchukuo and let it replace itself in charge of all levels of government of the Celestial Empire. As for the Japanese army, they focused more on destroying the resistance until no one in the Celestial Empire dared to resist them.

Of course, this is a great idea, but it is almost impossible to actually do it. During the Republic of China, the people's hearts and minds were different from those in the early years. Such arrogant ambitions and attempts of the Japanese army will never succeed.

The Japanese squadron leader Kawatani Hirano, who was ordered to stay in the county town from the front-line combat unit, was only an inconspicuous officer with the rank of captain in the infantry wing to which he belonged. But this good errand of stationing in the city was taken over by him, the squadron leader.

Perhaps for many officers in the army, the task of being stationed in the county seat is more akin to exile. Everyone knows that the city defense force is the main combat force, and the latter is undoubtedly more valued by the Japanese army.

Earlier he was ordered to stay behind, and the valley plains were still a little unhappy. But not long after entering the county, Hegu Hirano felt that this kind of task would definitely be broken in the future. The reason is simple, there is too much oil and water to serve as a city defense officer.

Since the valley plains were stationed in the county seat, the squires who had taken refuge in the Japanese army in the city invited him to dinner and banquets every once in a while. After eating, the squires would send some so-called 'souvenirs', to the great satisfaction of the valley plains.

At least in Kawatani Plain's opinion, even if he will not develop in the army in the future, the income he has earned during this time alone will be enough for him to return to China and become a rich man. If in the infantry wing, he has extremely limited powers as a lieutenant.

But in this small city, he is the undisputed emperor of the soil. The common people in the city and those squires have to live by his face. This taste of being in control makes the valley Hirano enjoy it, and I feel very lucky!

In order to avoid making his subordinates jealous, Hedani Hirano is also smart and chooses to move to live in the castle guard. Before the Japanese occupied the county seat, it was the office of the county government. After it was taken over by the Japanese army, it was used as an office location in the valley plains.

As usual, lying in the warm quilt of the valley plains, last night received the filial piety of a puppet government official. Compared with others sending money, the puppet government official sent a warm quilt to the valley plains.

For this kind of gift, it is natural that the plains of the river valley alone, in a foreign land, will not refuse. Tossing until midnight, the valley plains naturally slept very sweetly. This Japanese captain has also recently been lost in wine, sex, and wealth.

As fierce gunfire came from the direction of the barracks, Hegu Pingye, who was more sensitive to gunshots, instantly sobered up and said in a slightly panicked voice: "Guards, where are the guns fired?" What's going on? What's going on in the city? ”

The detachments that were placed in the city guard were all descendants of the Plains of the River Valley. In order to entrap these subordinates, the valley plain naturally spent some thought. The treatment enjoyed by these henchmen was also higher than that of the soldiers stationed in the barracks.

The sentry in charge of the sentry was also startled when he heard the sound of gunfire coming from the direction of the barracks. Immediately blew the whistle and urged the other soldiers stationed in the city guard to get up, and also planned to send someone to the barracks to check on the situation.

Seeing the disheveled River Valley Plains rushing out of the room to ask, the sentry also said respectfully: "Captain, the gunshots seem to be coming from the barracks." We don't know exactly what happened, so should we send someone over to take a look? ”

"What are you doing then? Hurry up and send someone over to check on the situation! Damn, who would dare to cause trouble in our barracks? Could it be that a rebel force has entered the city? This shouldn't be possible! Aren't there sentinels at the gates of the city? ”

"Captain, let's see the situation first! If there were really resistance forces attacking the city, our sentries should have warned them a long time ago! ”

Just as the valley was about to go out to check the situation, the Japanese sentry who had been sent to the barracks to check the situation soon met Hu Biao and his party head-on. Without waiting for these sentries to ask, Hu Biao, who was holding a gun in his hand, had already opened fire.

"Hit! Run forward! Storm the castle guard and take out the commander of the little devils! ”

"Brothers, rush!"

'Bang bang' gunshots rang out, and the little devil who was going to check on the situation was quickly shot and killed. Hirano, who was waiting for news from the castle guard, heard the gunshots rushing towards this side, and immediately said, "Enemy attack!" Everyone, get ready to fight! ”

Although he still didn't see the attacking troops, he was also a squadron commander with rich experience on the battlefield as a captain. Hearing the gunshots coming towards the guard, he immediately realized that the sentry had encountered the attacker.

With the order of the valley Hirano to prepare for battle, the Japanese detachment that remained in the castle guard post soon entered the combat post. For these little devils, they also have a lot of combat experience, and they know that they can't go to the barracks to check on the situation anymore.

If the barracks can repel the attackers, I believe that the troops stationed in the barracks should come to support as soon as possible. On the other hand, if the camp is captured by the enemy, they will have to wait for reinforcements at the city guard.

The sound of gunfire in the streets near the city guard quickly woke up the people of the city. Many brave people felt a little confused when they looked at the soldiers shooting at each other in the streets.

"What's going on? Why did the little devil fight with his own people? ”

Judging from the military uniforms of the attacking troops, the common people knew that they were the military uniforms worn by the little devils. But the people they attacked were dressed the same as they were. If you peek at it from a distance, it's really a bit like your own people fighting your own people.

"No, there are soldiers in the uniforms of the national army next to those little devils. Oh my! Could it be that the national army has fought back? ”

For many ordinary people living in the county seat, they know to some extent that the Japanese army has reached Nanjing, and is even storming Nanjing. The city defense troops stationed in the county seat before they dispersed in a hurry before the little devils attacked the city.

Now that the front-line war should be in the midst of fierce fighting, it is somewhat unbelievable that the national army can send troops to recover the fallen county town. But the situation on the battlefield seems to be the same as the battle to recover the county.

Arriving near the city guard station, the Japanese troops who had already entered the machine gun position, looked at the attacking troops that appeared at the entrance of the street, and the commander of the Japanese detachment in charge of the battlefield command, immediately ordered: "Shoot, shoot!" ”

The sound of machine gun fire quickly resounded throughout the city. The few prisoners of war who rushed to the front quickly collapsed in pools of blood. Hu Biao, who followed the advance, also hurriedly said: "Hide on both sides of the street, don't rush!" The little devil's firepower is too strong! ”

Seeing that the little devil was in front of the city guard, he actually set up two heavy machine guns and formed a crossfire on the street. Under this kind of fire blockade, it is almost impossible to rush over and get close to the city guard.

Hu Biao, who did not want the innocent prisoners of war to die, quickly issued a covert order. Glancing at the distance between the street and the Japanese machine-gun position, Hu Biao hurriedly said: "Second bolt, find a few grenadiers for me, hurry up!" ”

"Yes, Captain!"

It didn't take long for Huang Erzhuan to bring over four of the grenadiers he had seized earlier. Holding one of them, Hu Biao commanded Huang Erzhuan and two other team members to start setting up a grenadier canister, taking out a grenade to reload and launch it.

There was a crisp "tom", and the grenade quickly flew out of the grenadier canister. It's a pity that when the grenade landed, there was still some deviation from the little devil's machine gun position, and Hu Biao immediately adjusted his role.

After confirming that there should be no problem, Hu Biao opened his voice again: "How I fired the cannon before, do you all understand?" ”

"Understood!"

"Good! Wait a salvo with me! Once you blow up the little devil's machine gun position, the light machine gunner will take the lead and give me the remaining firepower to suppress the little devil. Strive for a momentum and rush to the door of the little devil's city guard, do you remember everything? ”

"Remember!"

"Good! Ready, three, two, one, put! ”

In fact, the little devil who stayed in the machine-gun position, when he saw the first grenade with a deviation in position, already had a premonition that something was wrong. When a series of 'tom tom' sounds sounded again, many little devils began to panic.

"Not good! It's a grenadier, get down, hide! Take cover! ”

At the screams of the squad leader, four grenades fell from the sky. Two of the grenades accurately hit the machine gun positions of the little devils. The remaining two grenades also exploded next to the position. The explosion sounded, and the little devil machine gun position finally fell silent!
