Although the explosives that had been buried on the wall of the south gate for two years in advance were not buried by professionals, the huge power of the explosion proved that as long as it was wrapped in enough oil paper, it would kill people when it exploded.

A huge explosion resounded through the four cities.

Kawagishi Bunzaburo, who had just put down his thoughts and restored the majesty of the lieutenant general of the Imperial Japanese Army, suddenly stiffened, looked at the huge fireball rising from the south, and ordered again without hesitation: "Order the patrol to reinforce Nancheng with all its might." ”

As a seasoned army general, Kawagishi Bunzaburo knew very well what this explosion represented, which represented the blasting of a large number of explosives, and the target of the blasting could only be the city wall.

As for how the Chinese were able to successfully blast in such a short time, that is no longer something that Kawagishi Bunzaburo can consider now, and he must now mobilize enough manpower in the shortest possible time to block the Chinese who are about to attack the city from the breach.

If all kinds of fortifications can't withstand it for more than two hours, then the Imperial Army Aviation can only look at the corpses of all the Imperial soldiers in the city from the sky with bombs.

Kawagishi Bunzaburo gave the bottom limit to the four defenders, but also to block the Chinese for at least two hours, and the North China dispatch army has already given a reply, and the two squadrons of army aviation fighters at Beiping Nanyuan Airport will take off at 7 o'clock in the morning, but there is a distance of 320 kilometers, and the fastest speed of the group will arrive in Shijiazhuang at least after 7:45.

Of course, the Japanese army is not as good as the American cowboys to equip wireless intercoms to platoon-level units, and the command can almost notify the most basic combat units within half a minute. In fact, in this respect, the Japanese army was not much better than the impoverished Chinese army, and it was all informed by the two legs and one mouth of the signal corps.

While the signal soldiers of the communication brigade of the division headquarters ran frantically to the streets and shouted to inform them of the military orders, the eyes of the seven pairs of hidden spots scattered on both sides of the large and small streets of Shimen City gradually brightened.

Independent regiments are not only outside the city, but also inside the city.

The Japanese, if they want to go for reinforcements, then we have to see if they are willing or not.

The third special operations team of Lushan Mountain did not participate in the battle of the city gate this time, and their lurking into the city this time was to attack various targets in the city when the main force outside the city was attacking the city, causing chaos and making the enemy unable to take care of his head.

To put it bluntly, it's harassment, and the more anxious Kawagishi Bunzaburo is, the better.

The Japanese division and regiment headquarters defended like an iron bucket in a short period of time, with 200 elite infantry, 4 light machine guns, 2 heavy machine guns, and 2 90 guns, and a total of only seven people in the special operations team went to fight others, which was undoubtedly asking for a dead end.

After the attack outside the city began, Lushan resolutely abandoned the tactics of attacking important targets that had been developed earlier, and instead attacked the scattered patrols of the Japanese army.

The Japanese patrols were all composed of a small detachment of 15 people similar to the number of infantry squads of the Chinese army, and because they were heavy soldiers, their equipment was worse than that of the infantry brigades and regiments of the first line, except for a very small number of detachments led by the captain of the second lieutenant squad with a light machine gun group and a grenadier group, and the number of accompanying them reached 20 people, the rest were led by Cao Chang, and the fifteen-pole 38 cover was their standard equipment.

The largest heavy weapon is probably the 4 melon grenades carried by each person.

This kind of tragic depiction of equipment used to often appear on Chinese soldiers when the Chinese army and the Japanese army faced each other, but at this time, the equipment of the special operations team definitely killed them in seconds.

When the 3rd Special Operations Squad entered the city three days ago, it did not infiltrate in disguise. All of them are strong men, and they are indispensable for gunshot wounds and scars.

It is not to take advantage of the night to enter the city by the city wall, the Japanese army's protection of the stone gate is tighter than that of Jingcheng County, the city wall will have a searchlight every 200 meters, and the 200 meters outside the city will be illuminated, and the patrol team on the city wall is five meters and a post and ten meters and a sentry, but it does not mean that you can become invisible people and slip in from under the noses of the Japanese army if you wear black clothes.

The "old treacherous and cunning" of the wealthy businessman surnamed Yu left a back road for himself to give the third special operations team great help, one end in a dry grave outside the south gate, the other in the firewood room of a restaurant that was not doing well 400 meters away from the south gate, and a tunnel with a length of 1,000 meters, which was enough for the seven-person special operations team and Captain Yu to quietly enter the city.

Otherwise, Yu Xiancheng would really not be able to go out of the city casually to give Liu Lang information.

The well-protected headquarters of the Japanese Army's Western Front Corps is not a small county town in the future TV series, and all the masters are like no one in the land day and night.

And the third special squad that entered the city with only the "Black Star" pistol and military assassination can still carry out assassination with these weapons, but if you want to use this, you can despise the scumbag with the 38 big cover and melon grenade, then of course it is a bit funny.

The "Black Star" pistol, which claims to have an effective range of 100 meters, but in fact has a change in trajectory when it flies 50 or 60 meters, is actually quite good, but compared with the range of 38 large covers that the Japanese army can almost use as a sniper rifle, it is a scumbag. As for the military stab, it is a weapon for hand-to-hand combat and sneak attacks, and it can't be counted at all.

Moreover, if the special squad is spread out like this, even if it is a small group of two, the distance is more than two hundred meters, and almost one person is going to attack a fifteen-person Japanese patrol, and before the individual combat strength does not reach the strength of the non-human Liu Tuanzuo, it is almost an act of self-defeat.

Liu Lang's secret arsenal dug up in Shimen several years in advance provided enough firepower for the special squad, in addition to semi-automatic rifles, submachine guns, and even 60 mortars and artillery shells, except for the bazooka that was newly developed later, the light firepower standard weapons equipped by the independent regiment to the infantry company, almost everything. The guards are retired disabled veterans of the Independent Regiment, which ensures absolute loyalty and has no contact with the wealthy businessmen surnamed Yu, which also reduces the possibility of leaking secrets.

Not to mention the Japanese, the Chinese could not have imagined that a middle-aged man who was missing a leg and struggled to survive by running a small steamed bun shop would hide arms that could arm an infantry company two meters below his small backyard.

And how many such arsenals there are, in the whole country, except for Liu Lang, who presided over this matter, only Xiao Fenghua, who is responsible for the security of the independent regiment, knows. Even if it is Ji Yanxue, if Liu Lang does not die in battle, she has no right to open the small notebook that Liu Lang handed to her before he swore to go on the expedition, which records all the shadows that Liu Lang has arranged in important cities across the country in the past five years.

The Chinese business group has a spy system, in addition to providing intelligence, another task is to store grain; The Security Department of the Independent Regiment also has its own set, and all the members are the most loyal veterans who have been discharged due to disability, and what they have to protect is the arsenal, the arsenal that can arm an infantry company at any time. In some important cities, the number is even larger.

These two lines will never produce any communication, and neither side will know the existence of the other, even if one of them is discovered by the enemy, it will not affect the other.

The equipment of the replenished Third Special Operations Squad at this time is naturally far from being comparable to that of the Japanese soldiers who are only equipped with rifles and grenades.

On a street 600 meters from the south gate, a group of Japanese troops, led by a second lieutenant, was running on short legs and running at maximum marching speed.

For those who are familiar with Shijiazhuang, almost everyone knows that it exists, even after the next 80 years, this street will still exist. The famous South Street, on this street, there are the largest business in Shimen, there are also silver banks, jewelry stores and Goubuli bun shops, etc., it can be said that in this era, this street is the Wall Street of Shimen.

The 5.5-meter-wide and 380-meter-long street was not too shabby nearly a century ago, not to mention the 20-person little devils running in a row, even if two trucks were running side by side.

At the beginning of the 20th century, whether it was urban or rural, the main thing was bungalows, and three-story buildings or even two-story buildings were considered high-end buildings. Of course, Shanghai, the largest city in the East, is not on the list, but the months of artillery fire in Songhu have also destroyed Asia's largest financial center.

Two-story buildings are not uncommon on the busiest streets of China's northern military powerhouse, and they are all made of thick green bricks, which even mortars may not be easy to destroy. It shows the great power of capital in any era, and the building that originally belonged to the bank and the silver number.

Of course, there is no one now, before the Japanese army arrived here, the bankers with their wallets had already fled south with gold bars, and those who remained in the city to endure the military disaster and artillery fire were always ordinary people who could not afford to travel far and some people who wanted to take advantage of the troubled times to take advantage of the fire.

For late autumn in northern China, the temperature is very low at 6 a.m., and many residents wear thin padded jackets that are much thicker than jackets if they go out early. The Japanese soldiers only wore thin jackets and military uniforms, but they were sweating profusely, and you can imagine the drama of their physical strength and speed of running along the way.

For Second Lieutenant Yoshida Masao, who was the leader of the Japanese army, the military order directly issued by the division headquarters was that reinforcements must arrive at the south gate within 15 minutes, otherwise military law would be involved. But when he received the military order, four minutes had already passed, and eleven minutes had to run nearly 2,500 meters away, which was really not easy.

In the twilight, the dark shadow of the South Gate Tower was clearly discerning, and the tight face of Yoshida Masao, who led the team, finally eased a little, at most there was still a mile to go to reach his destination, and he was finally not late.

He didn't know that on the roof of a small two-story building in the center of the street, which originally belonged to a bank 180 meters away from him, a pair of eyes were also smiling, and in addition to the joy of finally waiting for the goal, there was also the same cold as the late autumn morning in the north.

The owner of the eyes, with a pair of round eyes and a round face, a garlic nose and a somewhat plump lips, no matter how you look at it, no one will associate this somewhat honest and joyful face with a soldier.

Not to mention, the most elite servicemen among the thousands of people in the Separate Regiment.

However, no one knew that it was because of his existence that the third special operations team led by Lu Shandong, which was not ranked high in the special operations brigade of the independent regiment, took on the important task of infiltrating the important town of Shimen.
