In the days when electric lights were not yet widespread, there was little nighttime activity even in some county seats. Many people follow the rule of 'work at sunrise and rest at sunset', and only a few bustling cities have some abundant nighttime activities.

As the city of Maozhou, which was occupied by the Japanese army, it was not a prosperous county seat, and the people living in the city rarely came out to walk at night. In order to ensure the safety of the garrison, the Japanese army also implemented a strict curfew policy.

If a common man wanders through the streets late at night and bumps into the hands of a patrol, he will shed his skin if he does not die. Even if they cooperate with the puppet army defending the city, except for the officers and soldiers who are on duty, the rest of the officers and soldiers who have no task will be ordered to stay in the barracks.

In many cases, the Japanese army was wary of these recruited puppet troops, but they needed their cooperation to control the occupied areas. This kind of self-contradiction also caused most of the Japanese troops defending the city to be not very at ease with the puppet army.

Shot and killed two puppet soldiers standing guard in front of the barracks, Xu Sandao and his party, who had already changed into puppet army clothes, and smoothly entered the barracks where the puppet army lived. Seeing the room that was still lit, Xu Sandao was also very careful to take someone to touch it.

Listening to the sound of the wine order coming from the house, Xu Sandao gestured and said in sign language: "Touch the past and kill these guys with crossbow arrows!" ”

The crossbowmen who followed him quickly leaned over from both sides of the room. Through the papier-mâché windows, it is easy to see inside the house. After confirming the target, Xu Sandao began to make the gesture of 'ready'.

When the last finger fell, the crossbowmen, already in place, stood in front of the window at the same time. Shooting arrows through the paper window, when the crossbow team finished shooting, Xu Sandao and his party quickly rushed in again.

Those officers who were shot and did not die were quickly wiped out by Xu Sandao and others. Even so, some officers let out a scream before they died, which alarmed the officers who lived next to them and asked them to hurry out to check the situation.

As soon as he went out, he was controlled by the scouts leaning against the door, pointed a gun at his head and said, "If you don't want to die, be honest." If you dare to shout, Lao Tzu will make your head bloom immediately! ”

Hearing such a murderous threat, these officers all obediently raised their hands and surrendered without exception. After his hands were tied, Xu Sandao quickly asked people to escort all these captured officers to the room where they were drinking.

He looked at the dormitories where the soldiers lived in the barracks and said, "Is there any movement in those dormitories?" ”

"Nope! In this weather, those puppet soldiers rested early. Even if they weren't sleeping, our people blocked the dormitory. As long as they are willing to resist, they can suppress it as soon as possible. What's more, although those puppet soldiers have guns in their hands, they don't have bullets in their guns! ”

"Have all the officers' weapons been collected?"

"All confiscated! Do you want to wake up those sleeping guys? ”

"No hurry! Let's try these guys first! Go, send someone to inform the detachment leader, and say that this side has been controlled! ”

"Understood!"

It was confirmed that the military camp where the puppet army lived was controlled, and Xu Sandao also knew that Hu Biao was still waiting for his news. In order to gain more time to check and count the materials, Xu Sandao felt that the time should still be tight.

Hu Biao and his entourage, who were ready to attack, lurked outside the little devil's barracks and waited quietly. In order to ensure that the target could be accurately hit, Hu Biao personally adjusted the angle of the mortar, and several of them were aimed at the house with antennas.

The intention of this is also very simple, that is, to try to destroy the radio station that the little devils communicate with the outside world as soon as the battle starts. Even if there are spy agents in and out of the city, it will take more time for them to pass on the information.

The little devil who had a garrison headquarters in the city earlier, now directly set up the garrison headquarters in the barracks. This also means that except for the little devils who are currently leading the team on duty on the city wall, the little devils stationed in Maozhou City are all in the barracks.

Kill these little devils in the barracks, and the city of Maozhou will become an undefended county seat. Without Hu Biao's permission, no one was allowed to enter or leave the county. Waiting for others to react, I believe that Hu Biao and his party have already left.

Seeing the combat team members who came to report the situation, Hu Biao also smiled and said: "The puppet army is under control? ”

"The captain of the puppet army and a few squadron leaders happened to stay in the same room to drink, and we happened to be served by us. The rest of the officers were also captured alive. As for the ordinary soldiers, the doors were all controlled. ”

"Good! Go back and tell your squadron leader that the soldiers who surrendered spare their lives, and then hand them over to the New Fourth Army to deal with. In addition, it can be hyped that we are guerrillas of the New Fourth Army. Those who dare to resist will be killed! ”

"Yes, detachment leader!"

According to the agreement reached between Hu Biao and Peng Yufeng earlier, the credit for recovering the city of Maozhou should be attributed to the guerrilla detachment of the New Fourth Army. And Hu Biao's words are still only good. Reputation is such a thing, everyone knows it.

Sending away the combat team members sent to deliver the letter, Hu Biao immediately waved his hand and said: "Order the sniper team and the commando team to start occupying the machine gun position in front of the little devil barracks." Tell them that after the gunshots, all the little devils on the battlefield must be killed! ”

"Yes!"

As Tian Tiezhu gave the order to the sniper team, the snipers who had been lurking for a long time began to assign sniper targets. The commandos, armed with submachine guns and machine guns, began to approach the gate of the little devil barracks, fighting for the gunfire before seizing the position.

Taking down the machine gun position set up by the little devils in front of the barracks is equivalent to blocking the little devils stationed in the barracks. The reason for seizing the position first is also to hope that the little devil will quickly run to the playground to gather after hearing the gunshots.

As soon as they assembled, it was time for the artillery squad to open fire. A wave of shells will hit down, and I believe it should be able to kill a lot of little devils. Taking advantage of the shelling, the assault team immediately launched a surprise attack on the barracks of the little devils.

When the sniper team assigned the target of the sniper, the sniper who led the team whispered: "Ready!" Three, two, one, hit! ”

The sniper who had been aiming for a long time with the bullet was loaded and pulled the trigger almost immediately. Neat gunshots rang out, and several little devils guarding the gate of the barracks were also killed at the same time. The commandos, on the other hand, quickly seized positions.

The little devils who had not yet rested, as well as the puppet soldiers who were sleeping in the room, and the Japanese puppet soldiers who were in charge of the city defense guard, were all awakened or startled in an instant when they heard the sudden sound of gunshots. At this time, one of the commandos flipped the machine gun.

The roar of the machine gun completely woke up the little devils in the barracks, and Hu Biao, who was staying on a high ground next to the barracks, also said calmly: "Let the artillery squad prepare!" Wait for my command at any time! ”

"Yes, detachment leader!"

At the same time, there are many puppet soldiers who have fallen asleep who have been awakened. Just as these puppet soldiers were awakened, they soon heard a whistle from outside, and someone shouted: "Assemble in the playground!" Fast! Hurry up! ”

With the terrible whistle and urging, many puppet soldiers who were awakened also began to hurriedly get dressed, carrying rifles that were placed at the door without bullets, and complained while running: "It's raining, and I can't sleep well!" ”

When the soldiers rushed out of the dormitory and ran to the playground to start the assembly, it was soon discovered that the officers standing on the playground seemed to be unknown to them. Just as they hesitated, a man in a little devil's military uniform shouted, "Baga! Hurry up! ”

As soon as he heard this, the puppet army instantly became obedient. When they saw that there were still a few familiar faces in this group of strangers, these puppet soldiers didn't dare to say anything, and quickly led the team to gather under the urging of the strange officer.

Situations like this are also staged in the barracks of the little devils. It's just that compared with the assembly speed of the puppet army, the assembly speed of the little devils is undoubtedly faster. At least not like the puppet army, many people don't even wear their clothes and pants, and they look embarrassed.

Originally, some puppet army old fritters were going to grind and grind. can see that there are still little devils in the barracks playground, and they don't dare to slack off at all, for fear of being troubled by the little devils, and the consequences are still very serious.

When the entire puppet army brigade was assembled, Xu Sandao, who was wearing a little devil uniform, stood in front of these puppet soldiers and said calmly: "I'll tell you a good news!" You're all captured! ”

As soon as these words came out, these assembled puppet soldiers were dumbfounded, and even quickly said: "Taijun, it's not a joke, right?" ”

"Taijun! What is it? Joke, my words are a joke, so is this bullet a joke? ”

Xu Sandao, who was carrying a pistol, raised his hand and fired several shots into the sky without saying a word. The sound of thumping gunshots, together with the stormtroopers of the reconnaissance detachment, had already surrounded everyone. Whoever dares to move will wait to be beaten into a hornet's nest!

"Put the gun in the open space in front of you, row by row! Put the gun away and go back to the original position and crouch! Hands up! If anyone dares to move, be careful that the bullet does not grow long. Do you hear the gunshots? That's our main force, attacking the barracks of the little devils! ”

Accompanied by the shouting orders of the scouts, even if there were puppet soldiers trying to resist. It can be seen that most of the soldiers seem to be very honest, and they squatted down and raised their hands. Even the most daring puppet army knows that if they resist at this time, they will really die.

Waiting for all the puppet troops to disarm and surrender, Xu Sandao, who kept a team of people to guard, also scolded directly: "Stay honest!" Someone will try you later, and we will not kill people who have not killed good people.

But if someone kills a good people, he must be punished accordingly. Of course, you can also try to resist now, and I don't mind putting you in the right place! Don't talk to each other, otherwise you will be killed! ”

In the face of Xu Sandao's ruthless threat, many puppet army commanders breathed a sigh of relief. Correspondingly, some puppet soldiers seemed a little flustered. These puppet soldiers with panicked expressions were quickly pulled out of the team by the scouts who were guarded.

"Don't kill me! Don't kill me! I haven't killed anyone! I really haven't killed anyone! ”

All kinds of cries for mercy soon sounded in the playground. In response to these people's begging for mercy, the scouts, who had already seen that they had ghosts in their hearts, knocked over the butts of their guns without saying a word, and quickly overturned them on the playground and began to roll around.

Compared with the puppet army, although there are many people, in the face of the submachine guns and machine guns of the reconnaissance detachment, the unarmed puppet army does not dare to resist at all. Especially those soldiers who asked themselves that they had not killed anyone and had not bullied the people seemed to be very relieved.

And at this moment, the little devil barracks was just when the Japanese army quickly assembled and prepared to rush towards the barracks. With a wave of Hu Biao's hand, the artillerymen, who had been preparing for a long time, began to shell without saying a word.

The Japanese captain, who had not yet rested, was just about to send a telegram to the rear commander asking for help. As a result, as soon as the person reached the telegraph room, he was bombarded by several shells. An explosion sounded, and the room where the radio station was installed quickly collapsed.

As for the little devils assembled on the playground, the moment the shells fell, the little devils with a look of shock on their faces also screamed: "Shelling! Quick, spread out! Spread it all out! Get down, get down! ”

It's a pity that before the words fell, the shells fell first, and an explosion sounded, and a piece of little devils were blown to the ground. The assault team, which had already taken over the position in front of the barracks, immediately launched a surprise attack on the barracks and began to shoot the little devils who had fled.

Snipers snipe from range, machine gunners provide fire strikes, and submachine gunners close range strafing. The little devil who escaped the shelling still can't escape the hunt of the commandos. In the entire little devil barracks, all kinds of voices soon came.

The Japanese puppet army, who was in charge of defending the city, was undoubtedly completely shocked when they heard the gunfire and artillery sound coming from the barracks. The little devil officer who led the team on duty said without saying a word: "Leave a squad on duty, and the rest of the troops will run to me to help!" ”

These Japanese puppet troops, who quickly withdrew from the city walls, were all ambushed by the blocking party without exception. Many people living on both sides of the street trembled when they heard the gunshots coming from outside the house: "Die young! How did you fight in the streets! ”

For these people and traders, it is this kind of war that they are most worried about. The so-called bullets don't have long eyes, who knows if they will be drawn into the crossfire? Once involved, most of them have a hard time surviving.

Most of the officers and men of the guerrilla detachment, who had been waiting outside the city for news, were waiting and some wanted to sleep. Until gunfire was heard in the city, and then there was the sound of shelling, and all eyes were focused on the place where the fire had risen.

As the commander, Peng Yufeng was also worried: "Shelling! Was it the shelling of the little devils? ”

"Probably not! Even if the little devil uses artillery, it is impossible for him to react so fast! ”

"It's not a little devil, could it be Mr. Hu's troops? They turned out to have artillery? ”

"Listen to this voice, it should be a mortar for little devils! If they really fought a lot of victories, this artillery should have captured quite a lot. Detachment leader, if they really have artillery, can you let them divide a few of us? ”

For the officers of these partisan detachments, they naturally hoped for heavy firepower in the detachment. For their newly formed guerrilla detachment, many fighters did not even have rifles, let alone mortars.

However, most of these officers are military backbones selected from the main force, and they know very well that the detachment has several mortars, which can improve their ability to defend and attack. This kind of weapon, naturally, they are extremely eager for.

But for Peng Yufeng, he also knew that the detachment needed heavy weapons, and artillery was even more scarce. The problem is that with such a valuable weapon, they can't take the initiative to ask for it. If you really open your mouth, it will seem too greedy!
