Chapter Thirty-Nine: The Battle at the North Gate
Yan Ruofei led the three-person machine gun team in front and marched quickly, the four people carried Zheng Sanming and He Mei respectively, and the big expert walked in the middle, protected by Yan Ruping and four brothers.
After Liu Cheng broke off with a three-person machine gun crew, the entire squad protected the two experts in the middle from the front and back, left and right, and even if they encountered a sudden enemy situation, they would deal with it appropriately, so as not to expose the experts to the enemy's guns.
Yan Ruofei found that the North Road was very quiet, he had read a lot of books, movies, and TV series, and he had strengthened the subjects of reconnaissance and analysis of the enemy situation in the army, and he felt cold from the quiet in front of him.
He had already concluded that this was a net carefully laid by the enemy, in order to create a false impression for them, misjudge the enemy's situation, lead them to the north gate, destroy the squad in one fell swoop, capture weapons experts, and serve the little devils.
Yan Ruofei habitually smiled, his smile was a little yin, and Yan Ruping, who was following closely behind, also felt that the situation was a little wrong, it was impossible for the enemy to hear the gunfire and not come to reinforce them, let alone let them out of the city easily.
Yan Ruping took a few steps forward and said in a low voice, "Boss, didn't you notice that the north road is so quiet, a little weird and abnormal?" Let's not fall into the trap of the little devils, send our lives out, I think there must be an ambush at the north gate of the city. β
"I feel it too, let's go around in circles with the little devils, so that they don't have a clue, so that we can take the opportunity to rush out of the north gate." Yan Ruofei said confidently.
Yan Ruping shook his head, and said secretly in his heart: "What trick is this bastard kid playing?" It can't be that you're frightened by the little devil and have no idea, right? β
The Kuomintang soldiers who followed behind were all terrified, and the quieter the street, the more drumming their hearts became, for fear that a shuttle of bullets would suddenly be swept out, and before they could react, they would all die under the enemy's guns.
Yan Ruofei turned around and ordered in a whisper: "Follow closely, the left turn in front is the street leading to the north gate, all give me the spirit of twelve points, there will be a fierce battle for a while, it is also a test of the speed of each brother's running, I visually inspected it when I entered the north gate, there is an irregular intersection in front, one hundred and fifty meters to the north is the north gate, and the southeast is inserted to the east gate, and we don't care about the south." β
He stopped as he spoke, turned back and asked Wang Zhikai: "May I ask the expert how fast you run, and this little sister, I don't know." β
He Mei, who was called the little sister by Yan Ruofei, jumped down from the door panel carrying her in dissatisfaction, and Li Suojin was a young man who was willing to bow down.
She walked up to Yan Ruofei and said angrily: "Don't look down on me as a girl, you may not know that in German schools, during the war, from teachers to students have to undergo intensive training, I am also an anti-fascist fighter, please give me a gun, I will not be a burden to you." β
Yan Ruofei smiled: 'Hey, hey', this little fart girl is really not covered, this spirit is not bad, I am optimistic about her.
He really gave each of them a pistol, and the team had no shortage of weapons in their hands, and the enemy was at present, as long as these two people could keep up with the team and rush out of the north gate, there would be great hope.
Yan Ruofei rearranged and said: "Walking to the intersection in front, the team will form the shape of a chrysalis from the appearance, I am the chrysalis head, holding the machine gun to open the road in front, Liu Cheng is the chrysalis tail, after the machine gun is broken, the brothers on both sides are the chrysalis body, pay attention to eliminating the enemy on both sides of the road." β
He said and looked at the two experts: "You two are protected in the belly of the chrysalis, since you have received intensive training, in order to save your lives and not to cause us trouble, all actions are under orders, you should understand this." β
Yan Ruofei finally said: "When you arrive at the crossroads, don't panic, walk out of fifty meters to the north, suddenly turn around, the formation remains the same, the back team becomes the front team, and take out the speed of a 100-meter sprint, which is the speed of playing with life, and run wildly." When we got to the crossroads and turned southeast, we gave the enemy the illusion that we had discovered them and fled to the east gate. Let's go. β
The team walked out of the north road and turned left into the main street leading to the north gate.
There was nothing unusual on both sides of the road and in front of them, except that a few sentinels with guns could be seen dangling in front of the north gate. The night was deep, the city was quiet and crazy, and everyone in the team felt like their hearts were being pinched, and they were chilled with fear.
In their nerves, there are many wolf eyes in the shadows, like greedy eyes like seeing prey, staring at them, making hungry wolf pounces, ready to attack at any time and carry out bloody battles.
Yan Ruofei, who was walking in front, turned into the street to the north gate, calculating the distance with every step, forty-seven, forty-eight, forty-nine, fifty.
He suddenly turned around and shouted in a low voice: "Keep in formation, cover the experts, run with your feet out, fast." β
Fifteen people protect the two experts in the middle, from above, like a huge chrysalis floating up, moving forward quickly, a distance of fifty meters, that is, more than ten seconds in a blink of an eye, inserted into the southeast into the road to the east gate.
Yan Ruofei, who had turned into a chrysalis tail, had not yet turned into the road leading to the east gate, and remembered the fierce gunfire behind him.
The enemy puppet army, which was originally hidden outside the north gate, arranged the pockets, and waited for the squad to get into the hole. They didn't expect that when they saw the team walk to the pocket of the ambush, they suddenly turned around and fled as if they had found them.
Before the commander Ichiro Taniba gave an order, the gendarmerie captain Inoue couldn't wait to shoot and shouted: "Attack, the cunning enemy is running to the east gate, kill." He rushed out with the ambush team.
Ichiro Tanabata scolded angrily: "Pig, what a stupid pig, you bastard Inoue." "It's late, no matter how much he scolds, it's too late, and the well-designed ambush is so aborted.
Yan Ruofei rushed into the corner of the road to the east, and suddenly shouted: "Find a good hiding place each, wait for the enemy to rush up and give me a hard beating, and when the second group of little devils are repelled from attacking, follow my order to break through to the north gate and prepare for battle." β
The enemy puppet army rushed up, and in the blink of an eye, the enemy's squad disappeared from under their noses, and they slowed down and walked forward a little timidly.
"Beat me, give me a special beating." Yan Ruofei knelt on the ground with a machine gun, and with the help of a mound of dirt in front of him, he pulled the trigger, and with a burst of rapid fire, he swept down the little devil who rushed in front.
The enemy puppet army was blinded by the sudden firepower, some hurriedly retreated, and some lay down on the spot and fired back.
They were in the open, that is, the live target of the squad in front of them, and a fierce gun battle was launched between the enemy and us.
The little devils couldn't hold their heads up after being beaten, they didn't expect the opponents they encountered to be so well-armed.
In the ever-changing battle on the battlefield, the strong will lose the courage to fight if they are frustrated, and the weak will win the fighting spirit to kill the enemy.
At this time, under the blockade of dense bullets, the little devil could not advance at all, and could only crawl on the ground and retreat.
Yan Ruofei saw that the little devil was not in a proper battle, if he did not destroy the enemy's living force in the shortest time, he would have to pay the price of blood if he rushed out of the north gate, and even all of them would be killed.
He calmly waved his hand back, and deliberately shouted loudly: "The little devil was repelled by us, take this opportunity to run to the east gateββγ β
The brothers in the squad didn't know what kind of medicine was in the gourd, so they stood up one by one, ran to the east gate with their waists bent.
As soon as he ran less than thirty steps, Yan Ruofei suddenly whispered: "Lie down on the spot, do a good job of concealment, the little devil will rush over immediately and prepare to fight." β
The little devil was really obedient, and the enemy puppet army, who was being beaten and preparing to retreat, suddenly heard Du Kui, the commander of the Imperial Association, shouting: "Taijun, Taijun, I heard it, the enemy shouted and fled towards the east gate of the city, can we chase it?" β
Inoue Nakasa completely replaced the command of Ichiro Taniba at this time, and he drew his saber: "Warriors of the Great Japanese Empire, when the opportunity for our meritorious service is come, we will all give me a brave attack, kill one meritorious service, and capture one alive with a reward." β
The little devils rushed up again, they turned into the road at the east gate, how could there be a shadow of the team? But these bastards were frightened, and they didn't dare to advance quickly, but only searched tentatively forward.
Walking into this road for more than ten meters and not finding any trace of the enemy, the little devil boldly straightened his waist and ran faster.
Before they could run a few steps, they were fiercely strafed by machine guns, rifles, and submachine guns, and the enemy puppet troops running in front were swept down again, so frightened that the little devils behind turned around and ran.
Yan Ruofei stood up suddenly, holding a machine gun and shouting while strafing: "Kill ββ, Chong." β
He took the lead in rushing to the front, the machine gun spewing tongues of fire, and hitting the butt of the enemy puppet army.
The enemy, who had been wounded, had been attacked twice, suffered heavy casualties, and now he was already in a state of collapse, and had no intention of fighting, and quickly withdrew from the road, some to the south, some to the west, and most to the north gate, preparing to organize a new strong resistance and resistance.
