The brief exchange of fire in the Chinatown also made many people living on the embankment lose their sleepiness in an instant. In such a war-torn era, what the people are most afraid of is this sudden gunshot.

The sound of gunshots often means death!

The people of the small town who were awakened by the gunfire somewhat guessed that the gunfire was coming from the other side of Chinatown through the direction from which the gunfire came. Although they don't know what happened, many people feel that the embankment is about to be messed up.

The reason is very simple, these people have heard more or less about the Xinghua Army. If this gunfire was really done by the Japanese garrison stationed in the small city, then the Xinghua Army would definitely retaliate frantically.

This kind of thing is not once or twice in Nanyang and Southeast Asia. Everyone knows that the consequences of provoking these overseas Chinese are still very serious. Because of this, many locals are reluctant to provoke the Chinese.

In a short exchange of fire, none of the Chinatown guards were injured, but more than a dozen of the menacing little devils were killed. This situation made the captain of the garrison who retreated to a safe area feel angry.

The staff officer beside him also said in a timely manner: "Captain, it seems that these Chinese have already prepared!" If we hadn't tested it in advance and waited for the arrival of the next large army, we might really have suffered a loss! ”

"It doesn't matter! As soon as the infantry brigade arrived, they were doomed. Our garrison brigade is not equipped with artillery, and the infantry brigade can be equipped with 92 infantry guns. As long as there is a cannon, I believe that the people hiding inside will not end well.

The order goes down that once the Chinese neighborhood is attacked, I will allow all the officers and men to do whatever they want. Everything that is snatched by breaking the Chinatown can belong to them. I have only one request, I must exterminate the Chinese here! ”

"Understood!"

The captain of the garrison, who had previously felt that he had suffered a loss and lost face during the temptation, quickly issued such an order. This means that he indulges his troops and does whatever they want.

In the face of such temptation, the captain of the garrison believed that those subordinates who were afraid of death would also become very crazy. After all, the wealth of the Chinese living in the Chinatown is a fact that many people in the town know.

The garrison was strictly ordered not to launch an attack without authorization, only after surrounding Chinatown. The captain of the garrison also waited quietly for the infantry brigade to arrive from Saigon, and then join the other side to attack Chinatown in front of him.

The infantry brigade, which had planned to launch a surprise attack overnight, did not keep the garrison waiting long. After listening to the report of the garrison captain, the infantry captain who led the team was also surprised: "They actually have such guts? ”

"Matsuda Daisa, you should know that as the Xinghua Army is less and less interested in us, these Chinese are becoming more and more arrogant. It's just that tonight's matter, it should be sooner rather than later, and if you delay it any longer, I'm afraid there will be a change! ”

"What do you mean?"

"Dazuo, the situation here in the Chinatown is just afraid that I can't hide the main force of the Xinghua Army hidden in the jungle. If nothing else, they will learn that we are attacking Chinatown, and they will definitely send reinforcements quickly.

If we can't clear out the resistance in Chinatown before the main force of the Xinghua Army arrives, all those Chinese will be controlled. I'm afraid that the situation will become very chaotic, and it will even affect the security and stability of the whole of Saigon! ”

"Yo, you have a point! Pass my order and let the artillery squad build artillery positions and prepare for the shelling! All troops, as soon as the shelling stopped, launched an offensive on Chinatown. ”

Accompanied by the Japanese army who led the team, Dazuo ordered the attack, and the Japanese brigade that arrived from Saigon also quickly began preparations before the attack. And at this moment, the main forces of the first division and one regiment that followed the infantry brigade were ready to outflank.

Compared with the Japanese army, which only surrounded the Tang neighborhood, the main force of the regiment under the response of the wolf warrior squad has surrounded the entire embankment. Just wait for the Japanese to open fire, and a regiment will launch a surprise attack.

When the infantry artillery drawn by the Japanese army, they launched an artillery bombardment on the defensive positions of the Chinatown neighborhood. Several shells flew out of the barrel and soon crashed into the makeshift sandbag position in Chinatown, making a loud explosion.

The deafening sound of shelling made the people of the small town, who thought that there was only a small problem, quickly realize that this was the rhythm of something big about happening. At this moment, the Japanese army has launched an attack from the streets that entered the Chinatown town.

The sound of artillery and gunfire soon resounded in the Chinatown neighborhood, and the originally peaceful night was completely shattered at this moment. At this moment, the main force of the 1st division and 1st regiment, which had completed the encirclement, also received an order from the commander of the 1st regiment.

"Battalions attack! Be sure to completely annihilate the Japanese troops in the small city, and those who do not surrender will be killed! ”

"Yes! Head! ”

The Chinese armed forces who surrounded and annihilated the Tang neighborhood, the Japanese army seemed to think that there might be trouble. Therefore, the Japanese infantry brigade that arrived at the embankment still retained some troops in case someone launched a sneak attack from behind.

But the Japanese army never imagined that the counterattack of the Xinghua Army would come so quickly. They had just launched the artillery bombardment, and the troops were still fighting against the armed forces stationed in Chinatown, and many Japanese troops on alert spotted a large number of Xinghua troops.

Without even giving them a chance to react, the wolf warrior squads scattered in the small city had already launched a surprise attack on these alert Japanese troops. As a result, the situation in the entire town instantly became more chaotic.

Accompanying the captain of the garrison, the Japanese army Dazuo, who was standing outside the Chinatown to pay attention to the progress of the battle, suddenly heard gunfire ringing around the town. His heart suddenly tightened: "What's the matter?" Gunshots coming from there? Quick, go see what's going on? ”

It didn't take long for the accompanying staff officer who went to check the situation to say with a pale face: "Your Excellency Dazuo, it's not good!" We're surrounded! It is the main force of the Xinghua Army, surrounded from all sides of the small city, and is rushing towards us! ”

"What? How is this possible? How could they come so quickly? Damn, how many of them are there? ”

"Uncountable! The defensive forces we have deployed on the periphery are no match for them at all. Most importantly, the Xinghua Army also lurked a lot of gunfire in the city. After we launched the shelling, they launched a surprise attack! ”

"Damn it! Our plan of action, it is very likely that it was leaked in advance! Send a telegram to the general immediately and ask for support! Order the troops, speed up the speed, and be sure to rush into Chinatown before the arrival of the Xinghua army! ”

While ordering his subordinates to send a telegram to Saigon for help, he ordered his troops to storm the Chinatown at all costs. In the eyes of the Japanese army, only by storming Chinatown, the Xinghua army that surrounded them would have some concerns.

As long as there are hostages in their hands, maybe they will have a chance to survive until the follow-up reinforcements arrive!

In this process, he also heard the gunfire from all sides of the town, and the main battalion commander who stayed in Chinatown and was responsible for blocking it, said with a smile: "Brothers, the main force has launched a counterattack, we must hold on and give me a hard beat!" ”

In order to ensure the safety of the Chinatown neighborhood, the main battalion, which was selected and transferred from the 1st Division, naturally had very good combat effectiveness. And in order to increase their firepower, the 1st Division equipped this main battalion with a significant number of machine guns.

With multiple machine guns blocking the streets, and with the mortars carried, the main battalion continued to block the attack, causing heavy losses to the attacking Japanese infantry brigade but advancing slowly. And at this time, time became the focus of contention between the two armies.

The Japanese army Dazuo, who sent a telegram asking for help, learned that the attack of the various units was not going well, and he was also very angry and said: "Baga! A gang of bandits is armed, can't you take it? Keep increasing your troops and give me a hard beating! Let the artillery, continue to fire artillery support! ”

But this time, the infantry brigade was not so lucky. Just when the Japanese artillery squad brought a large number of shells from the car and prepared to continue the shelling of Chinatown, the raid team of the Wolf Warriors also opened fire.

The gunfire of "Da Da Da" rang out, which made the Japanese army Dazuo, who was organizing the attack, also surprised: "Baga! Where did these people come from? Fight back, organize a counterattack for me, you must destroy them! ”

It's a pity, even if the Japanese army brought a lot of troops this time, it is naturally far inferior to Zhao Tiehu sending a main force regiment. A large number of elite troops entered the city and stormed, making the Japanese resistance pale and powerless.

Seeing that the forward troops of the Xinghua Army had already hit the street where their temporary headquarters was located, the captain of the garrison could only say: "Your Excellency Dazuo, hurry up and retreat!" If nothing else, we've definitely been fooled tonight! ”

The battle plan, which was originally considered foolproof by the Japanese army, has become what it is now, and the commander of the garrison feels that he can only hope that Saigon can find a way to clean up this mess.

Facing the main force of the Xinghua Army, the Japanese army Dazuo, who was standing at the gate of the Chinatown block, said with a solemn and unwilling expression: "Damn, these Xinghua troops have become a trend, and if we want to stifle their development, I'm afraid it will be difficult!" ”

In addition to the main block, the Japanese army still has the ability to block it, and the rest of the Japanese attacking forces responsible for containing the defense force of Chinatown are still in the mood to continue the attack when they see the large number of Xinghua troops appearing behind them!

For the Japanese army, which had attacked fiercely before, it wanted to retreat at this time. The soldiers of the main battalion, who were responsible for protecting the security of the Chinatown neighborhood, also said in a timely manner: "Kill!" Don't let these little devils escape! ”

The soldiers of the main battalion who walked out of the temporary position began to switch from defense to offense, and cooperated with the main force entering the city to eliminate these little devils who had held them back earlier. The little devils who have been surrounded have no way to escape.

Some cowardly little devils who are afraid of death also put down their weapons and surrendered directly. For these little devils who surrendered, the soldiers of the Xinghua Army were not killed. After all, earlier the army had already issued a rule that the little devil who voluntarily surrendered would spare his life.

But those little devils who continue to want to run away naturally don't have such good luck. In the face of the large number of Xinghua Army soldiers pouring into the small city, most of these little devils were killed on the way to escape until the large army completed the encirclement and annihilation of all the Japanese troops.

When a regiment was almost ready to announce the end of the battle, the Japanese command, not far from the embankment, had no intention of sleeping. Knowing that the infantry brigade sent was counter-encircled, the infantry brigade and regiment were undoubtedly extremely shocked!
