In order to defeat the will of the Chinese army to continue the war of resistance, the Japanese base camp decided to start a surprise attack in mid-September, in order to capture the main force of the Ninth Theater in the shortest possible period and annihilate it in northern Hunan and Jiangxi and its surrounding areas.

In order to achieve the battle plan, the Japanese 11th Army concentrated about 100,000 troops of four divisions and three brigades (including one navy and one air force), and under the command of Commander Okamura Ninji, adopted the strategy of rushing and attacking to attack Star City.

With such a large number of troops assembled, it was naturally easy for the Japanese troops to not know each other. The front-line combat troops and the troops left behind in the rear can only rely on passwords and certificates in many cases, which naturally gives Hu Biao an opportunity.

Whether it is the guard platoon beside Hu Biao or the reconnaissance detachment commanded by Xu Sandao. After many actual combat tests, they want to disguise themselves as little devils, so naturally there will be no big problems. Being in a war zone, the movement of troops is inherently large.

Infiltrated into Linxiang City, where the Japanese army was stationed, Hu Biao successfully joined Xu Sandao and others who entered the city later. Taking the opportunity to rest, Hu Biao and his entourage successfully figured out the deployment of the little devils in the city, as well as the key positions of the little devils in the city.

When night fell, as a temporary stationed unit, Hu Biao and Xu Sandao and his party seemed to be from different units, but they were still easy to mix together. The Japanese troops stationed in Linxiangcheng did not feel that there was anything wrong with this.

Compared with the troops fighting on the front line, the Japanese troops stationed in the rear appeared to be relatively relaxed. Except for the troops on guard and duty, most of the rest of the troops stationed in the city seemed to be very relaxed.

Taking advantage of the opportunity to drink and chat, Hu Biao informed the reconnaissance detachment brought by Xu Sandao of the order. As for the assault battalion that cooperated with the operation, it was already lurking outside the city under the leadership of Xu Mingzhi, waiting for the order to enter the city at any time.

After drinking until midnight, Hu Biao, the troops who had entered the city in the name of transporting supplies, also returned to the barracks arranged for them by the defenders to rest. From beginning to end, no one doubted that these officers and soldiers who were full of Fusang dialect would be disguised by the Huaxia troops.

Just like the advance team trained by the Japanese army, the reason why it is easy to blend into the defense area of the anti-Japanese army is that these advance team members can speak Chinese without exception. Even some of the little devils who advanced into the team can also speak some Chinese dialects.

Language, many times, will bring people closer together, and it will be easier to gain the trust of fellow citizens. Moreover, the style of Hu Biao and Xu Sandao and his entourage is no different from the previous batches of troops who entered the city to transport supplies, and it is not easy to arouse suspicion.

If you really want to enter the city, all of them will become obedient baby-like troops, but I am afraid that the defenders will wonder if these troops who entered the city to transport supplies are real. Although the Japanese army emphasized discipline, the discipline of the baggage troops was relatively poor.

Moreover, Linxiang belongs to the area controlled by the Japanese army, which is the so-called large rear, and it is not a front line that must strictly abide by military regulations and military discipline. Isn't it normal to come to the rear city once and relax a little?

In fact, the garrison also had some countermeasures against the troops who came to deliver supplies. That is, when they arrive at the temporary station, they must hand over the weapons and ammunition they are carrying. Without weapons, how can they be in a mess?

Changing to other disguised troops entering the city, once faced with the situation of handing over weapons, they will inevitably hurry up. Hu Biao and the reconnaissance detachment dared to hand over their weapons, and it was more because the reconnaissance detachment knew in advance that this was a precautionary measure for the Japanese army.

The reason why the defending troops did this was more because they were worried that if these troops who entered the city temporarily had weapons and ammunition in their hands, and if something happened during their residence, it would be difficult for the defending troops to restrain and control them.

The weapons of the troops entering the city are now temporarily collected, and the weapons are returned the next day when they leave. If this is done, it will undoubtedly make the garrison more at ease, and they will not have to worry about the unexpected situation of these troops who have entered the city temporarily.

Near midnight, in the barracks of the temporary camp, Hu Biao and the guards beside him opened their eyes very quickly. Looking at the Japanese sentries on duty outside the barracks, Hu Biao quickly brought a cold individual bow and crossbow.

"Deal with the little devil's sentry first, and take out the confiscated weapons and ammunition. The temporary camps, not our own, will be completely solved. During the operation, be careful not to alarm the garrison in the city in advance! ”

"Understood, wolfhead!"

As far as the fighters of the guard platoon are concerned, they have become accustomed to not thinking about how Hu Biao will take out these weapons. As long as they stayed by Hu Biao's side, the members of the guard platoon believed that Hu Biao would be able to provide them with combat weapons at any time.

It is precisely because of this belief that every member of the team seems to be very simple when they enter the city to hand in their weapons. Now that they have received the second-generation individual bow and crossbow, the team members who are still wearing the uniforms of the little devils have dived into the dark night and started to kill.

Every time the bow and crossbow sounded, a little devil sentry fell down in dismay. The guards who cooperate with the operation are skilled in mending knives. In less than ten minutes, the defender sentries deployed in the makeshift barracks had been completely wiped out by the guard platoon.

When the guard platoon cleared the defender sentries, Xu Sandao and others, who had entered the city in disguise, also came to their senses. Open the ammunition depot locked next to the makeshift camp, and return the weapons and equipment that had been brought into the city to everyone.

In addition to the all-Japanese equipment brought into the city, Hu Biao inevitably distributed some weapons to the combat team members. These weapons include submachine guns and light machine guns, as well as the sniper rifles, which are the favorite of the fighters.

After the whole team received weapons and ammunition, Hu Biao immediately said: "Let's go!" Go ahead and get started! ”

The guard platoon, plus the reconnaissance detachment brought by Xu Sandao, and some of the fighters of the reserve team, Hu Biao also had as many as two companies of troops available for command. So many troops spread out, enough to deal with multiple targets.

As usual, the night raid was the same, first solving the Japanese guard patrol in the city, and then clearing the sentries responsible for guarding the key positions one by one. After changing the staff of the headquarters, Hu Biao immediately started the arrangement next to the barracks.

Considering the limited time to deal with the sentries outside the Japanese garrison headquarters, Hu Biao directly buried several heavy artillery shells outside the door of the room where the officers and soldiers of the garrison headquarters were resting, arranged the detonation trap, and waited for the start.

At the same time, the little devil barracks located in the city, machine guns were set up at the entrances of those barracks. When Hu Biao gave the order to detonate the shells piled up in the garrison headquarters, a loud noise made the Japanese soldiers and people in the city wake up instantly.

With a loud bang, a sky-high flame rose into the air, and even a few miles away from the city, this huge flame could be seen soaring into the sky. The assault battalions deployed on the periphery also knew that this was a signal to prepare for an ambush.

As soon as Linxiang City moved, the Japanese army's previously deployed garrison troops around the city would be dispatched urgently. What the assault battalion had to do was to take the opportunity to get rid of these reinforcements and further destroy the Japanese army's vital forces in the Linxiang area.

The 1st Assault Battalion, lurking outside the city, had been waiting for the signal to attack. For Commander Xu Mingzhi, this is the first time he has participated in a combat mission as a front-line commander since he became Hu Biao's subordinate.

According to Hu Biao's instructions, Xu Mingzhi took the troops outside the city to lurk at the scheduled time, but he has been waiting for news from the city. Even if he knew that Hu Biao had won every battle, Xu Mingzhi still knew the consequences of being exposed once he sneaked into the city.

Not hearing the gunshots may not be good news, but it is certainly not bad news. Until the earth-shattering explosion sounded, several company commanders who stayed beside Xu Mingzhi said excitedly: "Sir, can you dispatch?" ”

"Don't worry, don't you see that there are still little devils on the city wall to defend? In the case of a storm, have you considered casualties? Keep waiting, the city is in chaos, these little devils on the wall will return for reinforcements, and then it will be our chance! ”

Although he wanted to give the order to attack, Xu Mingzhi also understood the possible consequences of attacking at this moment. Moreover, Hu Biao had an explanation before the operation, so that he did not have to attack in a hurry, but had to wait for the troops entering the city to open the city gate, and then receive them into the city.

Looking at the defenders stationed at the head of the wall to quickly return to help, Xu Mingzhi and the others also quietly observed. And at this moment, in the little devil barracks in the city, a large number of little devils who were awakened had already hurriedly run out of the barracks to prepare for gathering.

As soon as the door opened, I saw tongues of fire spewing from outside the door. Two submachine gunners, holding Thomson submachine guns in their hands, fired into the wide open room. With such a close-range shot, the little devils in the room didn't have time to dodge at all.

After emptying the magazines, the two stormtroopers pulled out the box guns they were carrying and entered the room for inspection. If you find a surviving imp, you will take out a pistol and shoot them until you are sure that there are no surviving imps in the room.

"Safety!" "Safety!" "Safety!"

The constant sound of 'safety' undoubtedly told the soldiers next to them that these rooms had been cleaned up. Even if the little devil who reacted began to hide in the room and didn't come out, he still couldn't avoid being cleared.

A few grenades were thrown through the window, and when the explosion sounded, the stormtroopers pointed their guns at the place where the sound came from inside the house, and fired another frenzied fire. Make sure the room is relatively safe, and then enter the house and start the inspection to make sure there are no survivors.

At the same time, in a heavily guarded concentration camp in the city, countless prisoners of war who had been escorted from the front line were also awakened by the sound of explosions. For these prisoners of war, from the moment they were captured, they fantasized that someone would come to their rescue.

Many of the awakened POWs began to gather together and discuss, "What's going on? What's going on in the city? Did our troops fight back? Has anyone come to our rescue? ”

"Don't make noise! Quiet down! Don't you see, those devil sentinels are quiet? If there is a real fight in the city, how can these devils not panic? Don't sit together, just sit apart! ”

The more knowledgeable captured officers were also speculating about what was going on in the city. can see the little devils standing guard with guns next to them, they feel that the possibility of the troops coming over is not big, otherwise these little devils should not be so calm.

The problem is that all the prisoners of war don't know that the little devils guarding them at this moment have been replaced by scouts under Xu Sandao. The identity was not disclosed for the time being, but also to ensure the stability of the prisoner of war camp. You must know that to be saved, these prisoners of war are not completely fried!
