For the Japanese infantry brigade stationed in Saigon, I am afraid that they never dreamed that while they were pondering and beating the Chinese, Zhao Tiehu was also preparing to open up territory in Southeast Asia and use it as a control area for the Xinghua army.

Shortly after leaving Saigon, the Japanese infantry wing, which was about to arrive at the embankment, was first subjected to a heavy artillery bombardment, and then ambushed and raided by a main regiment of the Xinghua Army, and the entire wing was almost completely annihilated.

When the persuasion of 'surrender but not killing' sounded, most of these Japanese troops who had not served for a long time laid down their arms very happily. Even many of the soldiers begged for mercy in Chinese, 'Don't kill me'.

The second regiment commander, who took the guards to check the results of the battle, heard the cries of these prisoners begging for mercy, and said with a little surprise: "What's the matter? These little devils say that the official language is very slippery! Could it be that we are fighting fake devils? ”

The regimental chief of staff standing beside him said with a smile: "Regiment commander, it's not a fake devil, it should be called a second devil." Many of the soldiers of this infantry brigade stationed in Saigon were recruited from the Ryukyus side, so it is normal for them to speak official language! ”

"Oh! So that's it! That's it! The little devil shouldn't be so afraid of death! ”

The commander of the second regiment, who participated in the Anti-Japanese War in his early years, naturally did not deal with the Japanese army once or twice, and he was also a person who had personal experience of the strength and difficulty of the Japanese army. It was somewhat surprising to see a wave of charges end the battle now.

Just think about it now, most of the real elite troops of the little devils are pulled to the front line to fight. In such a place where the Japanese army regarded it as a large rear, how could it be arranged to station elite veteran troops?

The Ryukyus, which had been colonized by the little devils for many years, and the Korean Peninsula also became a place for the little devils to recruit soldiers. Although the combat effectiveness of these conscripted troops is not as good as that of the little devils, the long-term colonial rule makes their sense of obedience still good.

Looking at the survivors of the Japanese army who were captured one after another, as well as the captain of the infantry wing who was killed by the shelling, the second regiment commander also felt very disappointed and said: "MD, why is this guy so unlucky, I still want to capture him alive!" Did you send electricity to the division commander? ”

"It's already been posted! This battle was too easy, and I always felt a little uncomfortable. Is it because our combat effectiveness has become stronger? ”

The chief of staff, who was standing next to the commander of the second regiment, was somewhat surprised that the ambush would end in less than half an hour. An ambush of a Japanese infantry wing by a main regiment was simply impossible to do before.

But at the moment, the strength of the Xinghua Army and the collapse of the little devils somewhat made the veteran officers who participated in the early years of the Anti-Japanese War feel that everything seems a little unreal. For Zhao Tiehu's decision, they also have a lot of confidence out of thin air.

Listening to the chief of staff's inquiry, the second regiment commander thought for a while and said: "Our combat effectiveness has become stronger is also a reason, but the most critical reason is that the combat effectiveness of the little devils has become weaker again. These troops, at best, can only be regarded as second-line troops of little devils.

If it is replaced by the main combat division of the little devils, one of our regiments has to deal with one of their infantry wings, and it is really unknown whether the victory or defeat will really be known. But no matter what, we're growing and growing, and it won't be long before the little devil rabbit's tail grows! ”

"What's next?"

"Did the division commander call back?"

"Not yet!"

The second regiment commander, who stood on the spot and thought about it, finally said: "Send another telegram to the division commander to inform us that the battle has ended and that we can enter a new battle at any time." Send a company to escort the captives to a regiment's defense area.

The wounded and the bodies of the fallen soldiers were also sent to the first regiment. The rest of the troops were assembled and prepared to go to Saigon to support the division commander. The two main regiments are here, and there are not many troops available to the division commander! ”

"Yes, Commander! I'll arrange it right away! ”

After receiving a telegram from the 2nd Regiment, Wu Hao, who led the 3rd Regiment and the troops directly under the division headquarters, was already lurking outside Saigon. The location of the 2nd Regiment ambushing the infantry wing was not too far from Saigon City, so the Japanese troops in the city should be aware of it.

Wu Hao, who was staying outside the city, thought for a while and said, "Order the wolf warrior team to start entering the city, and prepare to cooperate with us to open the city gate!" Wait and see, I want to see if the little devil will continue to send reinforcements in the future. ”

"Commander, shouldn't the little devil be so bold? Yesterday they had already transferred an infantry wing and an infantry brigade, and now the little devils in the city can't get together a wing when they are full of battles, and they dare to send reinforcements? ”

"Let's see! No hurry! The Japanese troops closest to Saigon, even if they start to set off now, will take at least a day or two to arrive. Do you think the little devil can hold on for so long? ”

Wu Hao, who discussed and analyzed the battle situation with the commander of the third regiment, was still very confident in the next battle of Saigon City. After all, as far as the current situation is concerned, the number of troops under his command has far exceeded the troops that the little devil is stationed here.

In terms of strength and combat effectiveness, the first division has an absolute advantage. With such confidence, how could Wu Hao worry that the little devil would run away? Even if the little devil sends troops from other places, it will take time!

It didn't take long to receive a telegram from the Second Regiment, Wu Hao thought for a while and said, "Call back, let the Second Regiment rush over now and act as a division reserve." If the little devils don't send troops out of the city anymore, then we can only choose to attack! ”

"Yes, Commander!"

While Wu Hao was waiting for the little devil in Saigon City to make a move, the news that the infantry wing had been ambushed soon reached the ears of the infantry brigade commander. Hearing this, the commander of the infantry brigade also looked shocked.

"What? The infantry wing was attacked, how is this possible? ”

"General, there shouldn't be anything wrong with the situation! Earlier, shortly after the infantry wing had left the city, our sentry heard heavy artillery fire near the embankment. Although it did not last long, it should not be our artillery. ”

"Did you send someone to check on the situation?"

"A squad of cars has been dispatched, but no news has been received yet!"

"Yaga! How could things have come to this! Ordered, from now on the gates of the city were closed, and all troops went to the city ready to fight. In addition, an infantry squadron was dispatched to the reinforcements by car, and the infantry wing was to be taken out. ”

"General, I'm afraid that an infantry squadron won't be of much use, right?"

Regarding the order issued by the commander of the infantry brigade, the combat staff officer somewhat disagreed. It's just that the commander of the infantry brigade quickly said: "Baga! Now there are not many troops in the city that can fight, and it is already very difficult to transfer an infantry squadron!

What's more, if the infantry wing has already been defeated, what is the use of us sending another infantry brigade over? This infantry squadron is more responsible for receiving the troops that we may be surrounded to break through, do you understand? ”

"Hey! I got it! Your subordinates will pass on your orders now! ”

Wu Hao, who was waiting outside the city for the Japanese army to make a move, saw several cars rushing out of Saigon City, and then the city gate was tightly closed. It can also be seen on the city gate, and it looks like the guard has been significantly strengthened.

Seeing this scene, Wu Hao said with a little surprise: "The little devil is quite cautious!" Take a battalion, take all these cars for me, and then let a company change into the clothes of little devils and prepare to cheat the city! ”

After giving an order to the three regiments beside him, the three regiment leaders also understood. This kind of thing is also a very common trick for many veterans who were born wolf warriors in their early years.

"Yes, I'll do it right away!"

"Remember, try to get me the car intact and take it down! In addition, I will hand over the sniper detachment of the division headquarters to you, hurry up! ”

"Yes, Commander! Mission completion guaranteed! ”

The commander of the third regiment, who was ordered to attack, personally commanded a main battalion and a sniper detachment, lurking on the road of the Japanese convoy. When the car appeared, the commander of the third regiment personally took a sniper rifle and locked it on.

The trigger was pulled, and the bullet shot out of the chamber pierced the window glass, accurately hitting the little devil driver who was in charge of driving. Watching the car sway to the side of the road, the car following behind quickly stepped on the brakes.

This sudden braking made the little devil in the car lose his center of gravity in an instant and staggered. At this time, the snipers of the sniper detachment directly under the division began their own close-range sniper operations.

Gunshots rang out incessantly, and the drivers in charge of driving the car were killed. When the Japanese troops behind the carriage hurriedly jumped out of the car and tried to counterattack, they were still waiting for a one-sided massacre.

Seeing that the Japanese troops who went out of the city to reinforce were killed, the commander of the third regiment said: "Don't stop the gunfire, put a few shots from time to time, and let the little devils in the city hear it." Quickly change your outfit and prepare to enter the city, and as soon as the little devil opens the city gate, immediately take the city gate, understand? ”

"Yes, Captain!"

One of the main companies, which had already been redressed, began to turn the car around, and some soldiers who had also changed into Japanese military uniforms began to run after the car. Of course, there was also a group of Xinghua Army soldiers who were in charge of the pursuit.

After everything was prepared, the third regiment commander said: "Out!" ”

When the car began to turn around and head towards Saigon City, the Japanese soldiers who were in charge of guarding the city gate naturally heard gunfire coming from outside the city. Even these gunshots are getting closer and closer to the gates they are guarding.

"It can't be that our troops out of the city are ambushed again, right?"

Just when the officers and soldiers defending the city were curious and speculating, several cars that had driven out of the city gate earlier had already appeared in their sight. Seeing this scene, many Japanese soldiers immediately said: "Look, our military vehicle has appeared!" Not good! ”

The soldiers who shouted 'bad' naturally saw a large number of Xinghua Army pursuing troops not far behind the car. Even many soldiers at the head of the city could see the 'Japanese army' soldiers who fell to the ground from time to time.

Such a situation naturally reminiscent of their troops being hunted down. Seeing that the car had already appeared under the city gate, a Japanese officer soon said: "Open the city gate and prepare to meet our troops!" The rest of the troops are ready to fight! ”

When the city gate was slowly opened, the Xinghua army in charge of the pursuit seemed to become more excited. In their opinion, when the city gate is opened to cars entering the city, it means that Saigon City has opened its arms to them!
