Chapter 570: What Is This Operation?
Sakai also smirked, and while ordering the artillery fire to be aimed in the direction of the city, ready for artillery support at any time, he looked in a certain direction—that direction was the direction that the Imperial Secret Service desperately transmitted back about the location of Yanggou Town, the headquarters of the Jindong Detachment......
From Dingzhou, Yuanguang attacked Yanggou Town, with great difficulty.
It is possible to launch an attack on Yanggou Town, which is forty or fifty miles away from this Dongjiang county, even if it is blocked by mountains, Sakai believes that this distance will definitely be difficult for the imperial army......
A few sporadic artillery shots rang out, but the besieging team stopped!
Just when Sakai Eguchi was surprised, he saw that the team in charge of the siege sent someone to trot back, and said with an ugly face: "Report Sakai Nakasa, Eguchi Shaosa - this Dongjiang county seems to be an empty city!" ”
"What?"
Hearing this, the two of Sakai Jiangkou, who were holding back their strength to fight with the Jindong detachment in Dongjiang County, almost punched in the air, blushed and said: "Dongjiang County is the core city of the Jindong detachment, and they are actually defenseless?" This is not normal, there must be a conspiracy in it! ”
It's just that even if they know that there is a conspiracy, they have to enter this Dongjiang County!
It's not just that the subordinate soldiers are sleepy and in urgent need of rest, but also because taking the county seat is of decisive significance in their plans!
Therefore, although the city has to be entered, how to enter it is debatable!
Then, the eyes of the two of them looked at the Imperial Alliance......
Seeing the eyes of the two, I don't know how many imperial allies shed tears of sorrow......
"What? Not only are there no ambushes from the Jindong detachment in the city, but there are even no mines, tripping mines and the like in those rooms? ”
Hearing that the head of the Imperial Association Army came back with a happy face, Sakai and Eguchi's faces were doubly full of incredulity-the heart said that the two of them were wrong to blame that Zhang Ran, and they were actually still good people?
If it weren't for the great good people, how could they give themselves a city for nothing?
"Imperial army, there is really no ambush in the city, it is very safe!"
The leader of the puppet army swore an oath: "All the way here, all the imperial soldiers are sleepy and tired, so let's hurry into the city and rest—if you still have any doubts, you can check after entering the city......"
Eguchi Sakai and the others glanced at each other, and finally made up their minds to enter the city, but at the same time, they repeatedly ordered all Japanese soldiers to be careful, and after entering, the entire city must be thoroughly searched, and no details should be missed......
Especially in those corners and other places, it is necessary to search carefully to see if the Jindong detachment has dug tunnels under them, so as not to sleep well as in Houzhuang, and the men and horses of the Jindong detachment suddenly burst out of the ground and shoot at everyone and throw grenades......
Entering the city, the Japanese army immediately dug wells for water, dug wells for water, and searched for water, and was busy.
The tunnels found were closed one by one, and the city walls were fortified......
After finishing all this, the exhausted Japanese soldiers finally breathed a sigh of relief and could drink a few sips of boiling water after precipitation, heating and sterilization...... Simple boiled water, I don't know how many Japanese soldiers drank the taste of elixir and jade liquid.
The well-drunk Japanese army finally had the strength, and then began to scold his mother, scolding the Jindong detachment for leaving nothing for himself and others except for an empty city......
It doesn't matter if the flower girl doesn't have a drop, this special mother's rice and meat doesn't have anything, it's really a big drop of conscience!
When the army rests, they have to kill this damn Jindong base area and shed blood, so that the dead people in this Jindong base area can understand what kind of correct way to get along with the imperial army......
Then, the Japanese soldiers in the city heard the sound of the military horn outside the city......
This military horn, all the way over, these Japanese soldiers don't know how many times they heard it, every time they heard it, almost all of them suffered heavy casualties!
Therefore, after eating and drinking, the Japanese army, which was originally sleepy, suddenly became agitated and poured onto the city wall.
Sakai Eguchi also heard the trumpet, climbed the castle wall and was stunned......
Outside the city, there are Tuba Road led by Kang Ting and others in military uniforms, as well as those militiamen or villagers with long guns and short cannons......
"What are they doing here? Surround us? ”
Seeing this scene, Eguchi's brain was a little insufficient, and he looked at Sakai......
"It seems to be ......"
Sakai was also a little unsure of what the Jindong detachment meant, and replied with a puzzled face.
Looking at the number of people, the total number of people in this group of Tubalu and the militia is only more than 3,000 people......
Compared with his own department, there are currently nearly 5,000 imperial elites plus nearly 2,000 imperial troops, not to mention the number of the other side is at an absolute disadvantage, and his own side has artillery fire, tanks and combat vehicles that the other side does not have......
If the other party relied on the county city wall and other fortifications to confront his own army, Eguchi Sakai would still be able to figure it out.
But this is special, the other party ceded the county seat to himself and others, but surrounded himself with a large number of enemies on the periphery - this made the two of them scratch their heads and couldn't figure it out.
What is this?
"Otherwise. Our army will attack immediately and crush it! Eguchi Road.
"No!"
Sakai snorted: "Our army has come all the way, exhausted, sleepy, and forcefully attacked, and I am afraid that our combat strength will not be able to exert half of it-and the Jindong detachment is so blatantly carrying out counter-encirclement of our army, it must have expected that our army might attack immediately, and it must have made targeted arrangements for this...... If you attack, you will fall for Zhang Ran's evil again! ”
"So what do we do? Let these dirt roads surround us and wait? Eguchi asked in a muffled voice.
"Now, the most important thing for our army is to occupy the county seat of Dongjiang, rest and recover, and prepare for the next stage of the offensive!"
Sakai glanced at Eguchi and said: "Now that we have the city wall as the backing, and there are strong forces such as tanks, defending, our army is invincible and breaks through, and these dirt roads can't stop us at all, I'm afraid that they will do these dirt eight roads?" It's better to take this opportunity to let the soldiers recuperate, I don't believe that under the current situation, what tricks can he Zhang Ran come up with......"
Jiangkou felt that it was inappropriate, but thinking about it, although the city wall was not tall and thick, it was indeed like a moat for the Eighth Route Army, which lacked artillery fire, and the other party could not attack it at all......
Therefore, Eguchi finally nodded, and complied with Sakai's arrangement.
If Zhang Ran could hear the thoughts of the two, he would definitely laugh, and say a good grandson, you think exactly the same as I guess you will think so!
If you don't think so, this trick is not so easy to use!
Although he did make targeted arrangements for the possibility of the devils attacking immediately, for example, outside the position at each gate, at least ten flying thunder cannons were arranged to prevent the devils from forcibly attacking the position.
But if the devil really wants to break the net, just ten flying thunder cannons, plus the grenadier canisters and light and heavy machine guns and other equipment carried by Kang Ting, they may not really be able to block it, and they will definitely find a way to break away from the position after heavy casualties.
And now, Sakai Eguchi's idea is exactly what he wants!
After all, he arranged for Kang Ting and others to build a counter-encirclement outside the city, and his purpose was never to trap the little devils in the city, but to block the city gate as much as possible when the company camp was burned in the city, so that the little devils could die a few more in the city, and with the help of the opportunity of the little devils rushing out of the city to escape the fire, it was easy to kill a few more......
If you really surround these devils with outnumbered enemies, then you are really stupid!
Hearing Sakai Eguchi's order, the Japanese puppet army, which was originally a little flustered, finally regained its calm, and then all the sleepiness surged wildly, except for leaving a large number of men and horses to garrison the city wall in batches, the rest of the people almost fell asleep in the shortest possible time......
When several Imperial Allies heard the order to go down the city wall, the corners of their mouths showed smiles, and after returning to the assigned camp, they took the initiative to ask to serve as a guard duty, leaving the precious rest opportunity for their comrades and the exhaustion for themselves......
Such a situation has occurred in several imperial alliance teams.
At the same time, in a few corners of the city, no matter how carefully the little devils searched, it was impossible to notice, in the deep tunnels, there were also some militiamen, who were taking out their pocket watches from time to time to compare the time, and couldn't help but snicker from time to time......
The laughter was exactly the same as the suppressed laughter of someone who put a bucket of water on the door, waiting for someone to come and push the door......
At the same time, Zhang Ran was also looking at the pocket watch, calculating how much time was left before the launch, and at the same time, he did not forget to care about the battle situation in Cangshui.
Dongjiang County was given to the little devils, but in Cangshui County, Zhang Ran didn't plan to give it to the little devils.
The artillery company, the tank armored company, and the most core armed forces of these detachments were all deployed to Cangshui, in order to attack the enemy's shortcomings with their own strengths, hoping to defeat one of the two ways of the little devil army in the shortest possible time, so that the detachment could avoid the dilemma of fighting on both sides......
And in Cangshui, there are several points that are most conducive to eliminating the living force of the devils, in addition to the sheep horn and the boat river, Cangshui is the top priority!
"During the day today, the artillery company, under the leadership of Guo Zhengxue, cooperated with several militia teams in Cangshui, and continued to block the Japanese army along the way, delaying the pace of the little devils attacking Cangshui......"
Ren Haifang reported: "So far, as you expected, captain, the little devil has not yet been able to approach Cangshui County, and the preparations in Cangshui County are ready, and the tank armored company has also arrived at the designated position, waiting for orders at any time......"
"Good!"
Zhang Ran smiled and said: "Now the little devil in Cangshui has not had water to drink for more than a day, as long as they can hold on until tomorrow morning with the cooperation of the artillery company and the tank armored company, I believe that even if the little devil really wants to take the cangshui, it is estimated that he will be too thirsty to fight......"
