Chapter 421: Surprise Attack on Ningyuan City (I)

In order to capture Ningyuan County unexpectedly, Liu Tianshu was actually starting to lay out a few months ago. Pen, fun, and www.biquge.info

Of course, there was no decision to attack Ningyuan at that time, but after Liu Tianshu put Staff Officer Sun in charge of intelligence, he thought that his 16th Regiment would definitely not only succumb to the area of Sanguba and Majiaji in the future.

With the development and growth of the troops, the development of base areas will be an inevitable choice. He let the first battalion go to Zhang Baling, in fact, he was preparing to approach Jinpu Road to the east and threaten Ningyuan County to the north, as for developing in the southeast direction, Liu Tianshu did not have this idea for the time being.

After all, to the southeast, it is close to the city of Nanjing, the center of the Japanese army's domination in Central China, where the enemy is naturally surrounded by heavy troops, and if you develop in that direction, you may not be good except for touching a nose of dust.

Besides, now that the surname Wang has come to Nanjing and established a puppet Nationalist government, many local officials and troops who were originally Kuomintang in the surrounding area have taken refuge in the Nanjing puppet Nationalist government, saying that they are doing something to save the country.

Of course, Liu Tianshu naturally can't take care of these major military affairs, and he can't intervene, all he cares about is his own one-third of an acre.

Therefore, in order to be prepared, he asked Staff Officer Sun to quietly arrange personnel in the counties around Ningyuan, Linshan, and Hefei. The division of labor among these personnel varies, with some being responsible for gathering and transmitting intelligence, while others are embedded as combatants. According to Liu Tianshu's request, when these personnel arrived at their respective places, they all lurked according to the requirements, and they were not allowed to start without receiving the order to start.

As long as the starting instruction is issued, the specified task will be completed at the specified time according to the predetermined plan.

For example, near the east gate of Ningyuan County, there is a cloth village with a few guys in it. These guys are just like the rest of the guys, and they are very welcoming to their customers.

The plainclothes detective team of Ningyuan County investigated these people and found no problems, and the detective captain Du Sanpang was not at ease, and sent people to keep an eye on them for a month, but they did not find anything unusual at all, so they stopped the investigation.

On this day, a customer wearing a long shirt came to the door, and after a few words with the shopkeeper, he ordered a cheongsam and left.

In the evening, the shopkeeper called the three men in the shop, and said with a calm face: "Comrades, the instructions from the superiors have arrived, let us act according to the plan, and once the signal of action is sent out outside the city, we will immediately cooperate with other comrades to seize the east gate and open the city gate to welcome the troops into the city." ”

"It's great that the big army is coming." The young man's face was suddenly full of excitement, they had been in charge of the store for the past few months, and although they had a smile on their faces, they were actually very annoyed in their hearts.

However, when they were training in the base area, the regiment commander said that the first task of these special operators was to protect themselves when they arrived at their respective positions, and they were not allowed to act without an action order, and he also clearly told them that after they arrived at their respective positions, they might not be activated for a long time, and they might not start for several years, but they must firmly remember that they are members of the special operations team of the 16 th Regiment of the New Fourth Army.

Therefore, after they entered Ningyuan City with the members of the other group, they immediately entered the role.

Of course, how many rangers lurked in Ningyuan City, even Shopkeeper Song didn't know, he only knew that his task was to immediately attack the defenders at the east gate with three men once the main force of the army attacked the city, and help the troops open the city gate as quickly as possible.

As for how to prevent the enemy reinforcements at the city gates and how to prevent the enemy from attacking them when they heard the news, they were not in their consideration.

When entering and exiting the East Gate, Shopkeeper Song repeatedly observed the situation of the defenders at the East Gate, and even observed clearly which devil was standing in what position, where the machine gun was, and where the Imperial Association Army would be.

His main task in entering the city was to cooperate with the troops to take the east gate, and he didn't care about anything else, so he naturally thought carefully about everything that might be encountered in the execution of the mission.

Taking out grenades and shell guns from the cellar, Shopkeeper Song began to distribute, and then looked at the time, and the four of them quietly left Buzhuang and sneaked to the firewood and grass stacked by a family near the east gate.

This position is the latent position determined by the shopkeeper Song after many observations.

Under the opening of the reconnaissance company of the regimental headquarters, the second and third battalions bypassed the two strongholds arranged by the enemy in the south of Ningyuan City, and by the way, they directly and silently took the two small strongholds that could not be bypassed, and then sent personnel to defend them inside to cope with the inspection of the devils in Ningyuan County.

Under careful preparations, the main force of the 16th Regiment did not notice it until it surrounded Ningyuan City, the southeast, and west.

Seeing this, Zhou Aiguo pulled a platoon commander of the Imperial Association Army, gave a fierce warning, and tied a grenade to his waist, so that a soldier disguised as the Imperial Association Army followed him closely, and then began to swagger forward.

In order to successfully take Ningyuan City, Zhou Aiguo led people to ambush a small enemy army that went out to sweep, of course, more than a dozen devil soldiers were all wiped out, and those imperial alliance troops were all captured except for the dead.

At this time, Zhou Aiguo disguised himself as a devil army Cao, and walked to the east gate with the troops disguised as devils and the Imperial Cooperative Army.

When it was less than three hundred meters away from the East Gate City Cave, a snowy light swept from the city wall, and then a voice sounded: "Stop, which part of you are from?" ”

The soldier pushed his elbow to the waist of the platoon commander of the Imperial Cooperative Army, and the platoon commander immediately shouted: "Jiang Xiaosan, even Lao Tzu thinks it is out, quickly open the city gate, otherwise Taijun will start a fire, and it is none of my business." ”

When Jiang Xiaosan, the leader of the Imperial Association Army guarding the city gate, heard this, he immediately smiled and said, "Platoon Commander Sun, why did you only come back now?" Taijun Suzuki: They came back early. ”

"Don't mention it, it's frustrating to say, we met the guerrillas." Platoon Commander Sun pretended to be depressed, and then he heard Zhou Aiguo behind him scolding in Japanese.

In Jiang Xiaosan's opinion, the voices of the Japanese devils are almost the same, and besides, there is a team of imperial troops who follow Platoon Commander Sun out of the city to carry out tasks, and he knows it.

Now when he heard Platoon Commander Sun's words, he didn't doubt it, and after saying a little wait, he asked his subordinates to notify the brothers below to open the city gate.

The defense of the Japanese army in Ningyuan City is also very tight, there are more than 30 Japanese soldiers at each of the four city gates, plus the key parts on the city wall, and there are almost two squads of Japanese troops guarding it, as for the Imperial Army, there is a battalion to participate in the defense of the city.

The status of the Imperial Army of Japan was so lofty, and this kind of matter of being responsible for opening and closing the city gates would naturally not be the responsibility of the noble Imperial Army.

At this time, he heard that the team that had left the city in the morning had only returned, and heard the shouting and scolding of the imperial army officers outside the city, but he just stretched out his head to look at it, and then retracted back into the fortifications to recuperate leisurely.

They were the Japanese troops responsible for defending the city, and those who could go out of the city to enjoy the scenery were the people of the Japanese Oda squadron stationed in the city.

Thinking that they were guarding the city wall every day, and those soldiers were going out of the city every once in a while to find the flower girl, these Japanese soldiers guarding the city wall suddenly felt resentment in their hearts.

Zhou Aiguo saw that there was nothing unusual on the city wall, and he didn't stop at the moment, and walked towards the city gate with the soldiers behind him.

Seeing the heavy city gate squeaked open, Zhou Aiguo couldn't help but be overjoyed in his heart, but he still had an impatient look on his face.

The Imperial Association Army who opened the door saw Platoon Commander Sun, looked at him flatteringly, and said, "Hello sir." Seeing that Platoon Commander Sun just snorted arrogantly, he strode forward, and behind him, a soldier of the Imperial Alliance Army seemed to be very close.

The Imperial Cooperative Army standing by the gate saw these Imperial Cooperative Army and Imperial Army passing through the city gate, but their expressions were a little dignified, and they couldn't help but feel a little strange.

Zhou Aiguo led people into the city cave, but he did not go directly to the city, but took the soldiers disguised as Japanese soldiers around him, divided into several combat groups, and began to control the battle of the city gate.

At this time, an imperial army standing by the gate saw that after these imperial troops entered the city, they did not go back to the garrison directly, but quickly separated, some went directly to the city tower, and some walked to the two barricade fortifications at the city gate, and couldn't help but move in their hearts, and shouted loudly: "It's not good, they are the New Fourth Army." ”

Hearing this sudden shout, Zhou Aiguo knew that he had been exposed, and immediately took action with a low shout, and each action team immediately pounced on their targets according to the predetermined plan.

As for the Imperial Association Army who made a warning, **** was stabbed with a short knife, spit out a mouthful of dirty blood from his mouth, and fell straight to the ground.

In the blink of an eye, fierce gunfire and grenade explosions rang out at the city gates.

Platoon Commander Sun heard the sound of gunshots, and his face turned pale immediately, but fortunately, the black-faced big man who followed him stuffed the lead of the grenade into his hand, shouted to be careful, and quickly joined the battle group with a gun.

Liu Tianshu saw the reconnaissance company enter the city gate, and immediately shouted action, the loud charge horn sounded, and a fierce shout of killing sounded outside Ningyuan City, and at the same time, artillery shells began to fly towards the city gate from the south and west.

The first company of the third battalion saw that the city gate had been opened under the surprise attack of the reconnaissance company, and immediately rushed forward with great speed.

The devils guarding the city wall saw countless New Fourth Armies rushing outside the city, and at the same time, more than a dozen New Fourth Armies rushed up to the city tower, naturally facing each other on both sides.

Hearing the sound of gunshots, the shopkeeper Song held guns in their hands, but their eyes were staring at the sky.

At this time, a loud charge sounded outside the city, a signal flare rose in the sky, and the shopkeeper Song shouted action, raising his gun and hitting a few devils who were desperately firing at the rushing New Fourth Army.

At this time, they were shot in the back, and the formation was immediately chaotic, and the soldiers of the reconnaissance company immediately seized the opportunity, and two grenades passed over and blew up those devils directly.

Immediately, the fighters of the reconnaissance company rushed to the city wall and engaged in a fierce battle with the enemy who was guarding the wall. (To be continued.) )
