Chapter 707: Deep Night (Continued)

On the night of the third day of the first lunar month, the anti-Japanese soldiers and civilians in Cangxian County were in full swing to carry the Japanese army's logistics materials, and the Japanese army was also busy loading logistics materials on trains, automobiles, and carts, including the tanks of the armored brigades, waiting to be filled and then driving north.

The Japanese 2nd and 5th Divisions withdrew to Suxian relatively late. There is no way, although it is also a mechanized division, but after all, the Guards Division is the Imperial Forest Army of His Majesty the Emperor, and when Naosaburo Gangbe arranged the order of retreat, he naturally considered that the Guards Division and the armored brigade were in front, the second division, the fifth division, and the first division retreated in turn.

Since the southward recovery of Suxian County and the pursuit of the Eighth Route Army, the Japanese Second Division and the Fifth Division have given full play to their mechanized advantages, pursued and outflanked in a roundabout way, and spent a lot of gasoline, but the cavalry units of the Eighth Route Army always seemed to be in front of them, and they could not be seen, touched, or caught. On a few occasions, they almost succeeded in closing the siege, but the result was that the Eighth Route Army cavalry group gushed out of the gap before it was blocked.

The devils of the Second Division and the Fifth Division always believed that the cavalry units of the Eighth Route Army were only the enemy troops of Liu Yimin's forces, and there must be a larger force of the Eighth Route Army in front of them that had set traps waiting for them. Therefore, although they pursued very actively, after all, they had scruples and did not dare to carry out a large-scale and in-depth roundabout outflanking like the annihilated 14th Division in eastern Henan, for fear that they would fall into the trap of the Eighth Route Army and end up like the 8th, 10th, and 14th Divisions. Because of this factor, the combat effectiveness of the Japanese army was affected. When the Eighth Route Army captured Cangxian and copied the supply base of the Japanese army, the Xiǎo devils understood from the lieutenant general to the soldiers that they had been tricked by the Eighth Route Army. It turned out that the cavalry unit of the Eighth Route Army led them in the direction of Fuyang, which was to keep them away from the railway line and the highway line, and it was too late to return to the division to rescue Cangxian.

The largest ammunition supply, gasoline supply, grain supply, and forage supply base have been ended, what else to use to pursue the Eighth Route Army? If the fight continues, if the Eighth Route Army cuts off the Jinpu Road again, the powerful mechanized equipment will become a pile of scrap metal, and when the squadron surrounds it again, it will only be able to fight until all the ammunition is exhausted. The 2nd Division and the 5th Division, who understood this truth, after receiving the order to retreat quickly, assemble to Suxian, go north in the starry night, and recapture Cangxian, the speed of action was faster than a rabbit race!

To tell the truth, since the establishment of the Second Division and the Fifth Division of the Japanese Army, they have not fought like the Eighth Route Army. Such a powerful strategic offensive force, under the mobilization of the Eighth Route Army, simply became a monkey jumping up and down, climbing poles and trees with the sound of gongs and drums of the Eighth Route Army, and its ugliness was revealed. This situation made the proud Yamato warriors unacceptable in any case. The senior officer said that although he was extremely depressed in his heart, he could still bear it, and the soldiers would not be able to do it, and when they met together, they might accuse each other if they didn't say the right thing.

The city of Suzhou prospers because of the ancient Bianhe River. Because the embankment of the Gubian River runs east-west, it forms an elliptical urban area with a length from east to west and a narrow from north to south. When the Ming Dynasty built the city wall, there were four mén, namely: Wanghuai mén, Yingbian mén, Fucai mén, and Gongchen mén. Wanghuai mén is Dadong mén, Yingbian mén is west mén, the Republic of China 18 years in the north of Dadong mén opened xiǎo east mén, and built a road through the railway station. In this way, an urban pattern has been formed to the east of Xiǎo East Mén Bridge, west to Shengli Road Bridge, south to South Mén Kou Bridge, and north to North Mén Kou Bridge. The streets are mostly east-west, mostly bluestone roads and dirt roads, and the road surface is less than 10 meters wide. The most lively places in the city are the Thousand Buddha Pavilion, the Confucian Temple, and the City God Temple.

Suzhou City also has a feature, that is, there are many xiǎo lanes, not to mention dozens of xiǎo lanes.

In such an urban environment, there are so many devils who speak the chirping of birds that suddenly pour in, and it is normal for the roads to be blocked.

Li Lingfeng led the soldiers to line up in a neat line, turned from Zhugan Lane into Dasi Lane, and planned to enter Chenghuangmiao Lane to the west. Because the City God Temple is a courtyard with three entrances and three exits, the east and west are wing rooms, and the Daxiong Treasure Hall faces three rooms in the south. Li Lingfeng judged that the Japanese army would definitely set up an important organization here, and he wanted to come here to find the bad luck of the Xiǎo devil.

There is another reason, that is, from the City God Temple, you can enter the nine bends, where all are earthen walls and grass houses, the road is very narrow, twists and turns, and it is very convenient to retreat. Even if the Japanese army found them and chased them here, not to mention cars, even motorcycles and cavalry would not be able to pass, and they could only watch them retreat. Li Lingfeng came here to arrange troops to cover the retreat.

As soon as I walked into the City God's Temple Alley, I heard a quarrel in front of me. When I walked to the front, it turned out that the cars of the 2nd Division and the 5th Division were at the top of the Mén entrance of the Chenghuang Temple, that is, Jiāo Tong was blocked.

Li Lingfeng was wearing the uniform of the 16th Division and spoke fluent Japanese, so he immediately pretended to be a patrol and stepped forward to dissolve it.

Seeing that the patrol of the 16th Division stationed in Suxian County was coming, the soldiers of the 5th Division and the 2nd Division, who were arguing, stopped arguing for the time being, and scrambled to explain the situation to Li Lingfeng.

Li Lingfeng laughed when he heard this, it turned out that the Second Division and the Fifth Division had taken a fancy to the City God Temple, and they both wanted to temporarily set up the division headquarters here. The vehicles of the personnel of the divisions and regiments of the two sides met here, and they did not give in to each other, so they quarreled.

Li Lingfeng seemed to forget that he was only wearing the military uniform of the army commander, and began to mediate in a pretended manner: "Your Excellency Shaozuo, you said that the headquarters of the Second Division should be located in the City God Temple. Excuse me, has it been approved by the headquarters of the 16th Division? ”

Shao Zuo of the Second Division was reluctant, and opened his mouth to scold: "Baga! Where is the headquarters of the 2nd Division of the Japanese Army located, do you still need the approval of the 16th Division? Your conscience is greatly broken! ”

Li Lingfeng hurriedly lowered his head and said a few times.

When Hai was finished, Li Lingfeng turned to the captain of the Fifth Division again: "Your Excellency, you said that the headquarters of the Fifth Division should be located in the City God Temple. Excuse me, has it been approved by the headquarters of the 16th Division? ”

In the battle to capture Guangzhou, the Fifth Division distinguished itself with extraordinary troops, performed extraordinarily, and made great achievements, and from officers to soldiers, they had long forgotten that the 21st Brigade was completely annihilated by the Eighth Route Army, and their nostrils were about to reach the sky. The captain also snorted, and then asked Li Lingfeng, where is the flower of the Imperial Army and the headquarters of the Fifth Division of the Imperial Japanese Army located, and is it the turn of the 16th Division to be approved?

Li Lingfeng bowed his head again, and said a few times in a row.

After Hai finished, Li Lingfeng said helplessly that since the headquarters of the 16th Division did not approve it, it was impossible to decide whether the headquarters of the 2nd Division or the 5th Division should be allowed to live in the City God Temple. It stands to reason that it should come first and come first, and whoever enters the City God Temple first will be used by whoever uses the City God Temple.

The Shao Zuo of the Second Division and the captain of the Fifth Division all understood this, and regardless of whether the commander in front of him was right or not, they waved their hands to the soldiers behind them almost at the same time.

The soldiers of the second division seemed to be a little more numerous, and when they saw the gesture of their commander, they began to run towards the City God Temple. The soldiers of the 5th Division may have been slightly smaller, and when they reached the entrance of the main mén, they were squeezed out of the mén by the soldiers of the 2nd Division.

Seeing this, Li Lingfeng shook his head and sighed: "The Second Division is worthy of being the Second Division, since it was defeated by the Tuba Road in Binxian County, the training level of the soldiers has improved rapidly, just looking at their speed, you know that it is worthy of the Japanese Army's Jīng Rui Division." Since the 21st Brigade and the Artillery Wing and the Cavalry Wing of the Fifth Division were shattered, their combat effectiveness has failed, and the flower of the imperial army has withered. Even grabbing a turf can't grab the second division. What a tragedy! ”

This statement is tantamount to revealing the scars of the Second and Fifth Divisions. The Shao Zuo of the Second Division and the captain of the Fifth Division roared at the same time, rushing towards Li Lingfeng, as if to tear him apart.

Li Lingfeng lowered his head, his body shook, and passed between the two old devils. He dodged it, and the two old devils hugged each other.

Li Lingfeng happily slapped his slap and shouted loudly: "Okay! Good! That's it! The honor of a samurai is earned from battle. If it were our 16th Division, it would be a duel when this kind of thing happened, and whoever wins will have the final say. Your Excellency Shaozuo, go down and kick him in the crotch. Your Excellency, Captain, show the courage of the Fifth Division and slap him. Well, this slap in the face! Okay, that's the right kick. Alas, it's a pity that it didn't kick to the point. Again! Hey, I said the warriors of the Fifth Division, your commander was beaten by the Second Division, what are you doing coldly? Hurry up, beat these bastards of the Second Division to the ground, this City God's Temple belongs to your Fifth Division. There are hot steamed buns and rice dumplings inside! If you go in late, you will become the second division! ”

Shao Zuo of the Second Division and the captain of the Fifth Division were originally going to fight Li Lingfeng, but the two of them were torn apart, and at this time they couldn't separate if they wanted to, and there was a big master standing next to him who deliberately stirred up right and wrong, and with a slight movement, their bodies would involuntarily crash into each other, and they couldn't do it if they didn't want to.

The soldiers of the Fifth Division were squeezed outside the City God Temple by the soldiers of the Second Division, and they were already holding their breath, which made Li Lingfeng instigated, and when he saw that his commander had already made a move, where would he hesitate anymore, and immediately began to make a move, and pounced on the soldiers of the Second Division and turned their fists at each other.

The Second Division is known for being good at sneak attacks, and now it is being attacked by soldiers of the Fifth Division, so it's worth it! The two sides immediately fought together.

The soldiers who came with Li Lingfeng were all heroes who had undergone strict special operations training and had experienced a hundred battles, and everyone was clever and clever, and as soon as they saw that the Japanese army was starting to fight, they immediately ran around and shouted, shouting that the Fifth Division had beaten the Second Division, and that the Second Division had beaten the people of the Fifth Division miserably. It's not enough to shout, the guy in his hand has to use it, and he will give two bayonets when he is empty.

As soon as I saw that someone had moved, someone died. The soldiers shouted even more happily: "The second division has killed people with bayonets, come quickly!" "The Fifth Division stabbed Noda of the Second Division, hurry up and copy the guy!"

Some people swung their fists, some people used knives, and some people added fuel to the fire, and the larger the group, the bigger and bigger the fight. In the end, I don't know who pulled the trigger first, but when I heard the sound of the horn, a young staff officer of the Second Division opened a blood dòng on his brain, and the blood was gushing. Immediately after that, there was another horn tick, and a lieutenant of the Fifth Division also had a blood dòng on his brain, and blood also gushed out.

This stimulated the soldiers left on the car on both sides, and Cào started to shoot and pong off.

At this time, the blood of the devils who are not afraid of not fighting will be all over the ground, and naturally there is no need for our special operations heroes to add fuel and vinegar. They have to hurry up, and if they are late, they will be interrogated by the devil gendarmes who arrive.

When Okabe Naosaburo drove to the site of the battle between the Guards Division and the 16th Division, the battle was over, and there were dead and wounded Japanese soldiers all over the ground.

Fortunately, the streets of Suzhou City are narrow, which restricts the scale of the fight. Otherwise, I don't know what it will be!

Looking at the scene of blood flying in front of him, Naosaburo Gangbe's teeth were about to be broken. This is all the jīng Rui of the Great Japanese Army, who did not die on the battlefield, but died in a group fight.

The gendarmes have set up a cordon, and the health guards have arrived to begin bandaging the wounded.

Okabe Naosaburo called the captain of the gendarmerie and ordered him to find out the truth of the matter and severely punish the perpetrators.

Okabe Naosaburo didn't have time to stay here longer, he had to rush to stop the fighting between the 2nd and 5th Divisions, and listen to the gunfire, where the scale of the fighting was even larger than here. Naosaburo Okabe was very anxious.

Just as the captain of the gendarmerie saluted and left, there was a "horn hook", a bullet flew in, and Naosaburo Okabe fell on his back.

The chief of staff who was following Naosaburo Gangbu shouted "Catch the assassin", and reached out to help the fallen body of the Lieutenant General of the Gangbu. It was too late, but it was too fast, and another bullet flew in, and the chief of staff shook his body and fell to the ground.

Liu Bin, the leader of the Third Sniper Squadron of the Eighth Route Army, led a sniper group to lurk in the courtyard of a xiǎo alley about 500 meters away from the scene of the fight, keeping his eyes firmly on the movements of the Japanese army, waiting for the appearance of the prey.

As soon as Naosaburo Gangbe got out of the car at the scene, Liu Bin made a combat gesture, and the muzzle of the gun was also aimed at Naosaburo Gangbe. It's a pity that it's night and the sight is not very good. The gun was not the sniper rifle and Bayi automatic rifle that Liu Bin was used to, but the captured 38 cover. It's not a big problem, Liu Bin is one of the best masters of the Eighth Route Army's sniper brigade, and any gun is the same in his hands.

Because he was once the chief of staff of the North China Front, Naosaburo Okabe temporarily served as the commander of the Japanese army's heavy army group. When he got out of the car, he hugged back and forth, and it was difficult to aim. It wasn't until the captain of the gendarmerie saluted and left that Liu Bin seized the opportunity and shot decisively.

As soon as the shot came out, Liu Bin made a retreat gesture and led the sniper group to retreat. He knew that it was an important person of the Japanese army who was killed tonight, and he had to hurry up to join Li Lingfeng and them, and he had to get out of the city quickly. The Japanese army will soon search the whole city, and it will have to be revealed when the time comes.
