Chapter 103 The Imperial Alliance Army Comes to Qingyan Town
It was already midnight when he returned to Huangshi Village, although he was worried about Captain Liu, Li Shu still strictly followed the previous practice of the army and put guard posts around Huangshi Village, and as for the villagers organized by Village Chief Ling, they were also allowed to go back to rest at this time.
After finishing these, Li Shu had time to visit the wounded team members, there was a hygienist in the guerrilla team, who could deal with some simple wounds, and during this time, a lot of individual medical kits were seized from the devils, which could be used to bandage the wounds of these wounded people, but there was no way to take out the bullets left inside.
Tang Jiyuan was busy settling Wang Zhengkuan's family and Lu Guiping's relatives at this time, but because Lu Guiping died in the battle, Lu Guiping's family fell into grief, and until dawn, there was a faint cry.
Liu Tianshu hadn't come back at dawn, Tang Jiyuan's heart immediately hung up, and Li Shu, Zhang Gouyu, Shi Qiang and others sat in Liu Tianshu's room.
"At this time, Captain Liu hasn't come back yet, he won't have an accident, right?" Zhang Gouyu glanced out the window and said with a sullen head.
"How could something happen to him? Platoon Commander Zhang, don't worry, Brother Tianshu won't have an accident. When Shi Qiang heard this, he immediately raised his head and shouted, but his voice revealed a lack of confidence.
There was such a big disturbance in the town last night, and the devil will definitely not give up. It stands to reason that if the captain makes it out of town smoothly, it should be time to come back.
At this time, he hasn't come back yet, and nine times out of ten he is trapped in the town.
"If the captain gets rid of the devil, it's time to come back." Zhang Gouyu said worriedly.
Tang Jiyuan was also thinking in his mind when the two were talking. After last night, he had heard Shi Qiang, Hao Mengxuan, Li Shu and others say that at that time, in order to cover Shi Qiang and others from withdrawing from the town, Liu Tianshu ran alone to attack the devils, and asked the merchant and Hao Mengxuan and others to escort Wang Zhengkuan and others out of the town first.
According to them, after Captain Liu acted alone. Explosions sounded in the town from time to time, and the devils who were chasing Shi Qiang were also attacked, and they had to divide their troops to counterattack, which created conditions for Shi Qiang and others to withdraw from the town.
Now that the town of Qingyan has returned to calm, where is Captain Liu?
"We'll have to send someone into town to find out what's going on, like that. Platoon Commander Lai, you are in charge of commanding the troops, and I will find a way to send people into the town. Tang Jiyuan thought for a while, looked at Li Shu and said.
The fact that the bodies of the guerrillas who had sacrificed their fighters could not be brought back made the fighters feel extremely sad. Tang Jiyuan also wanted to find someone to inquire about it to see if he could find a way to get the soldier's body back.
Tang Jiyuan got out of the broken temple and came to Village Chief Ling's house, and after discussing with him, Village Chief Ling quietly left the village.
The devil already knew that there were guerrillas in the village of Yellowstone. Therefore, the villagers of Huangshi Village are no longer suitable for the town. For safety reasons, the daily necessities that the villagers need to buy during this time are also provided by the hawkers who walk the streets.
Liu Tianshu entered a remote utility room in the backyard of the detective team, and after staying in it for a while, he found that Long Haisheng left the backyard in a hurry, and went out with the team members who were released, he quietly walked to the kitchen in the backyard and found something to eat. Then return to the utility room and hide in the corner to rest.
The gunfire throughout the town has stopped. But the devil's search and vigilance are definitely only strong, not weak, and after tossing in the middle of the night, his physical strength has long been overdrawn, and it is not suitable to act at this time.
So, he simply hid in the backyard of the detective team to take a good rest.
After Long Haisheng left twelve team members to guard the compound, he took the rest of the team with him. Joined the Imperial Army's search operations.
A series of sneak attacks by the guerrillas tonight made Yoshino furious in his heart, he didn't expect that the trap he had carefully designed would be stabbed by that damn Liu Tianshu.
Now that I think about the series of actions of the guerrillas, Rao is extremely proud of Yoshino. I have to admit that it is indeed exquisite.
The guerrillas first appeared in the square and made a rescue move, triggering an ambush of the imperial army around the square and having to start it, and then attacked the Dongshan position, forcing themselves to divide their troops into Dongshan, and then attacked the detective team, causing the whole town to be in flames.
After his ambush around the square was activated, he was attacked from behind by the guerrillas and escaped from the team members who came to save him. When his troops were chasing the fleeing Shina people, a group of people suddenly appeared and attacked the detectives guarding the bait, and rescued all the hostages.
In the end, when Okada's squad surrounded those dastardly Shina people in a small courtyard, an elusive guy suddenly flashed out, first attacked Okada's squad grenadiers, snatched a box of grenades, and then took these grenades and threw them at the heroic Imperial soldiers, causing the whole town to explode.
The Shina people, who were stirred up by that guy and looked like they were about to be wiped out, finally broke through.
That guy also magically disappeared in the end.
Thinking of this, Yoshino really wanted to turn Qingyan Town upside down.
At dawn, his subordinates came to report that after a toss last night, they found nothing but four killed Shina people.
On the other hand, on their own side, the detective team lost ten people, nearly twenty pistols, and more than forty imperial soldiers suffered casualties.
Looking at the statistical table on the table, Yoshino couldn't help but sit on the chair in frustration, unable to speak for a long time.
At noon, an imperial army of nearly 500 people drove into Qingyan Town, and it was Cheng Guigui who was stationed in Heiheling from the former Jin Sui Army on a horse with a gloomy face.
After Cheng Guigui defected to the Japanese army, his troops were organized into the Imperial Association Army after some training, and he was promoted to the commander of the Imperial Association Army.
However, his original army had less than 300 men left, so the Japanese army incorporated a newly recruited militia into his unit, making it two battalions.
Of course, there is still a long way to go from the size of a regiment.
After the Aoki Brigade occupied Shuangfeng Ridge, the command post of the brigade was set up in Shuangfeng Ridge, and its Yoshino squadron occupied Qingyan Town, Kobayashi Squadron occupied Shiquan Town, and Kawashima Squadron stayed in Shuangfeng Ridge and stayed with the troops directly under the brigade.
The Xiaolin squadron is progressing smoothly in Shiquan Town, the original mayor Ma Judong has promised to cooperate with the imperial army, and the original security brigade in Shiquan Town has been expanded into the Imperial Association Army Brigade, with a scale of 300 people, plus Shiquan Town is not far from Wuyang County, and the control of the imperial army in Shiquan Town is very smooth, and now fortifications such as turrets are being built around the town.
Once the fortifications are successfully constructed, the town of Shiquan will be completely under the control of the Imperial Army.
On the other hand, in Cheongam Town, the Yoshino squadron was overwhelmed by a small communist guerrilla force, and lost a lot of soldiers, not to mention the safety of Cheongam Town.
You must know that the North China Front Army Headquarters is preparing to build a logistics and transportation route from Shuangfengling to Shanxi via Qingyan Town as a supplement to Zhengtai Road.
If the Imperial Army could not completely control Qingyan Town, then this logistics and transportation line would not be able to play a role.
For this reason, Aoki scolded Yoshino bitterly, and finally decided to send Cheng's precious Imperial Association army to Qingyan Town in order to completely exterminate the nasty guerrillas.
Cheng Guigui led his troops to Qingyan Town with mixed feelings, and was immediately received by Yoshino. After welcoming Cheng Guigui's arrival, Yoshino handed over the courtyard where one of the town's masters had fled to Cheng Guigui as the headquarters of the Imperial Association, and at the same time ordered Cheng Guigui's troops to take over the defense of Qingyan Town and start building artillery towers on the main roads of the town.
All of a sudden, Qingyan Town was full of Imperial Cooperative troops in yellow military uniforms, and at the same time, Long Quanfu began to take the Imperial Association Army and the detective team to collect strong men from house to house, preparing to build artillery towers.
Liu Tianshu hid in the compound of the detective team, except for eating and resting, Long Haisheng's backyard only lived with his concubine and himself, and after the henchman in charge of guarding was killed by Liu Tianshu, Long Haisheng chose two dexterous team members to guard in the middle courtyard.
However, in order to ensure the safety of the backyard, Long Haisheng hired craftsmen and began to erect barbed wire on the fence of the backyard, and at the same time reinforced and heightened some walls that were easy to climb into.
Liu Tianshu watched all this through the gap in the utility room, but he just pouted his mouth and didn't pay attention to it at all.
The news that a large number of Imperial Cooperative troops had arrived in Qingyan Town was still transmitted back to Huangshi Village in the afternoon, and at the same time, there was also the news that the devil's recruited laborers were preparing to build the turret.
As for the captain, it was as if the world had evaporated, and there was no news, and it was confirmed from within the detective team that the devil did not catch the guerrillas last night.
That is, the captain did not fall into the hands of the devil.
Hearing this news, Tang Jiyuan couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief, and then studied with Li Shu, Zhang Gouyu and the merchants how to deal with the matter of the devil's turret.
You know, if the devils build artillery towers in important locations around the town, then it will not be so easy for the guerrillas to sneak into the town.
According to the practice of the devils in other places, the devils will definitely seal off the entire town completely, leaving only four entrances and exits.
When Shi Qiang heard the news that there was no Liu Tianshu, he was worried about Liu Tianshu's safety, and offered to take the guard squad to rush to the outside of the town to monitor the enemy's movements, and at the same time to meet the captain.
According to his estimate, it is not easy for the captain to leave the town during the day, so if he is safe, he will come out of the town tonight no matter what.
He took the guard squad to guard the outside of the town, and if he encountered any emergencies, he would be able to deal with them.
Tang Jiyuan knew that Shi Qiang and Liu Tianshu had a deep relationship, so he thought about it and agreed to Shi Qiang's request.
The devil's intention of suddenly increasing his troops to Qingyan Town is not clear for the time being, but he must be careful no matter what.
With Shi Qiang staring there, he can rest assured.
Shi Qiang rushed to the north of the town with a guard squad when it was dark, and he instructed everyone to hide in the woods.
The current guard squad, in addition to a pistol for each person, is also equipped with a 38 cover. He also brought five grenades. It's just that three of the team members are equipped with the devil's eight boxes. (To be continued.) )
