Chapter 1179: Desperate
"Bang ......"
Before dawn, the dull gunfire on the street outside was one after another, and it was getting closer and closer to the devil headquarters set up in Baoying County.
The sound of this gunshot was like a talisman, making the devil staff officers in the devil command like ants on a hot pot, extremely nervous.
The communications staff officer of the flustered devil stood directly next to the radio station, constantly urging the telegraph operator to send a telegram asking for help.
The explosion of the cannonballs sounded like a desolate beast was about to emerge from the ground, and the earth trembled with each roar, as if it was about to burst out of the ground at any moment.
The lamps hanging from the roof shook with violent tremors, and the captain of the devil's detachment, Watanabe Shouyichi, sat in front of the map with his saber in his hands and closed his eyes and pretended to sleep.
The commander of the devil's detachment, Watanabe Shouichi, was transferred from the frontal battlefield to the battlefield behind enemy lines, and in fact he was extremely reluctant to come to the occupied area to carry out the so-called law and order operation.
In just two years, he was promoted from Shaozuo to Dazuo, all relying on real military exploits.
With his bravery, if he wants to, fight a few more battles on the frontal battlefield, I am afraid that he can hang the rank of major general, and his commander is also extremely optimistic about him.
However, when he came to the occupied areas to carry out the so-called law and order operations, although his commander still promised that as long as he eliminated the guerrillas and the regular Chinese army in the occupied areas and accumulated military merits, he would also be promoted to major general.
However, Watanabe Shouichi, the captain of the devil's detachment, knew very well that once the guerrillas behind enemy lines were cleared, even if he was promoted to major general, then he was afraid that his lifelong military career would stop with a major general, which was very reluctant for him who was ambitious.
However, in the face of the orders of the headquarters, even though he was unwilling in his heart, he still had to come here and serve as the head of the detachment, responsible for clearing the guerrillas.
He also wanted to find an opportunity to return to the frontal battlefield after the guerrillas were eliminated, but who knew that today he would be in a desperate situation of life and death.
In order to eliminate the guerrillas as soon as possible, he sent most of his troops to the countryside to pull a net to clean up, leaving only an infantry squadron and a small number of traitors in plainclothes in Baoying City.
But who knew that he hadn't calculated that the main force of the guerrillas in northern Jiangsu actually appeared outside Baoying City, which caught him a little off guard.
Although he experienced the initial panic, the leader of the devil detachment, Watanabe Shouichi, quickly calmed down.
The so-called stepping on iron shoes and finding nowhere to find it took no effort to find it was like this, they searched everywhere to encircle and suppress the main force of the guerrillas in northern Jiangsu, and now the guerrilla corps in northern Jiangsu actually took the initiative to send them to the door.
Therefore, Watanabe Shouyi, the leader of the devil's detachment, decided to take the plan as he could, using himself as a bait, hoping to stick to the northern Jiangsu guerrilla corps, and then ordered the troops in the countryside to immediately return to help, to counter-encircle the northern guerrilla corps, and then wipe them out.
Unfortunately, the plan could not keep up with the changes, and they tried to rely on the barricades in the city to block the northern Jiangsu guerrilla corps, so that the main force could return to Baoying, and the plan to carry out a counter-encirclement of the northern Soviet guerrilla corps was now facing this mortal threat.
He underestimated the combat effectiveness of the guerrilla corps in northern Jiangsu, and thought that with the cooperation of an infantry squadron and a traitor plainclothes team, it would be enough to hold out for one night.
However, there is no shadow of the troops who have returned to help, but the guerrilla corps in northern Jiangsu has already attacked near his headquarters.
If the returning troops can't come back in time, then his counter-encirclement plan with himself as a bait this time will not only go bankrupt, but also have to put himself in it.
Do you really want jade to be broken here this time?
Watanabe Shouyi, the captain of the devil's detachment, kept interrogating himself in his heart, he was full of extreme unwillingness, and he had now scolded the captains who had come back countless times.
If they had been able to come back in time, the situation would not have deteriorated to the current state, and their lives would not have been threatened.
Watanabe Shouichi, the captain of the devil's detachment, was very unhappy, but he couldn't show it.
At this moment he is the commander of the city, and he must remain calm and composed, and if he panics, I am afraid that the few remaining garrisons will not be able to withstand the attack of the guerrillas.
Although the guns rumbled outside, the inside of the devil's headquarters was exceptionally quiet, in stark contrast to the outside.
Now the captain of the devil's detachment, Watanabe Shouichi, only has to gamble, that is, to bet that the troops who will return to the reinforcements will rush back before the guerrillas break through their defenses, otherwise he will be killed.
If the returning troops can rush back in time, they will be able to counter-encircle the guerrillas and win a great victory, otherwise they will be doomed.
The war was originally a risky gamble, not only Watanabe Shouichi, the captain of the devil's detachment, was gambling, but also Yang Ling of the Northern Jiangsu Guerrilla Corps.
"Report, we only have the last line of defense left, please break through immediately!"
When the head of the devil's detachment, Watanabe Shouichi, and the staff officers were all in a nervous mood, a bloodied devil second lieutenant rushed in and broke the dullness in the headquarters.
Their last line of defense was set up on the street in front of the county hall, which meant that if this line of defense was broken, the headquarters would be directly exposed to the guns of the guerrillas.
"Your Excellency Detachment Leader, break through, the reinforcements can't come back."
The operational staff officer knew that the situation had reached a critical moment, and he couldn't help it anymore, and hurriedly set his eyes on the detachment leader Watanabe Shouichi who was sitting there.
"Your Excellency Detachment Leader, we will cover your way out." The devil staff officers all pulled out their southern pistols one after another, ready to participate in the battle in person.
All the devils in the room looked at the detachment leader Watanabe Shouichi, Watanabe Shouichi slowly opened his eyes, looked at these officers who were ready to fight to the death, and slowly asked, "Where are the reinforcements?" ”
The devil's communications staff officer was stunned for a moment, and immediately replied: "The Tanigawa Brigade closest to us has just passed Shuiquan Village in ten minutes, and it only takes an hour to reach Baoying. ”
"Then please hold on for another hour." Watanabe Shouichi, the captain of the devil's detachment, looked around with a pleading look.
The leader of the devil's detachment ordered: "Let all the handymen and baggage soldiers go up." ”
"It was already on top an hour ago, and now there are only us staff officers in the command." A devil staff officer reminded.
Watanabe Shouichi, the captain of the devil's detachment, stood up, pulled out his matching gun and said, "Then fight with me." With that, he walked out of the house.
The devil's operational staff officer hurriedly stopped the detachment leader Watanabe Shouichi: "Your Excellency, the detachment leader, there is danger outside, you better stay here and command the battle." ”
"Follow me to resist the Chinese army!"
After the devil's combat staff officer finished speaking, he opened the safety of the southern pistol in his hand, waved his big hand, and rushed out of the house with the staff officers murderously, preparing for the final desperate fight.
