Regarding the desertion of the puppet army in the city, the Eighth Route Army, which set up cards outside the city, naturally also knew about it. Most of the puppet soldiers who dared to go out of the city actually knew the policies of the Eighth Route Army and knew that they would not be severely punished before they dared to escape.

When these puppet soldiers fled, they didn't forget to take their guns with them. When they arrived outside the city, they saw the Eighth Route Army that stopped them, and most of them raised their hands and surrendered without saying a word. And these guns are the so-called road money of the puppet army.

With the escape of these puppet troops, the Eighth Route Army outside the city naturally knew that the situation in the city was not optimistic. Even if they know that the puppet army is overwhelmed, they will not trouble these puppet army, and most of them will surrender their guns.

Looking at these puppet soldiers who surrendered honestly, the company commander of the Eighth Route Army, who was responsible for setting up the card, also said seriously: "Although you surrendered on your own initiative, according to the policy of our Eighth Route Army, you can be given a certain amount of leniency."

It's just that we still need to conduct a more detailed investigation into whether you have done anything to harm the people during your tenure as a puppet army. By the way, which of you has the highest position? ”

The puppet army who was questioned, soon a middle-aged man raised his hand cautiously and said, "Hello, sir!" I'm their platoon commander! None of us have done anything hurtful, and we are all caught by the little devils. ”

'That's it! Whether you have any questions or not, it needs to be investigated more carefully. Now you need to make a registration with our clerk, explain where you are from, and how long you have been in the puppet army, and you need to tell the truth.

As for you, come with us! There are some things that our chief needs to hear about the specific situation in the city today. Rest assured, it won't take you to anything. As long as you really haven't done anything hurtful, you won't be harmed! ’

Looking at the puppet platoon commander who was almost scared, the garrison company commander who stopped them felt the need to take this puppet platoon commander to the battalion command post in the rear. After all, as a puppet army platoon commander, he must know more things than ordinary puppet soldiers.

Looking at these soldiers of the Eighth Route Army, although they were very vigilant, their movements were quite gentle. The puppet army who decided to become a deserter also honestly followed these Eighth Route Army to do the so-called identity identification registration.

When this puppet platoon commander honestly told him what he knew in the city. The garrison battalion commander passed on the information he gave to the higher-level command headquarters until it was finally summarized to Zhang Cheng's headquarters.

This kind of information has been available for some time now. The interrogation report is now being sent to Command, more because of the general offensive that will be launched tonight. What are the movements of the Japanese puppet army in the city, which Zhang Cheng also needs to pay attention to.

But from now on, the Japanese puppet army in the city does not seem to know that the Eighth Route Army outside the city will launch a general attack tonight. This means that the surprise attack they launched tonight is believed to take the Japanese troops in the city by surprise.

It seems that the puppet army in the city has dispersed, and the puppet army that escaped from the city during this time is afraid that there are already thousands of people. Nowadays, the little devils in the city dare not let these puppet soldiers go to the city wall to participate in the defense of the city. It seems that it is not at ease!

Before the general assault starts tonight, let the artillery brigade shell a few times with the 75 field guns as usual to paralyze the little devils in the city. Order the other troops involved in the attack to be as careful as possible when moving, and not to push to the city gate too early.

After the artillery brigade launched a general assault and artillery bombardment, the troops advanced into the city. As for the armored regiment, it was on standby at the east gate. As soon as the city's reconnaissance battalion opened the gates and saw the flares, they were ordered to launch an assault immediately.

The regiment that cooperated with the armored regiment to ensure the safety of our tanks and armored vehicles. If we want to suffer fewer casualties at night, we must rely on the assault and attack capabilities of tanks and armored vehicles, and the infantry must cooperate well. ’

'Yes, Commander! When the armored regiment was training together in the previous time, in addition to the reconnaissance brigade training with them, our regiment is also the unit with the longest training time, and I believe that the regiment will not let us down! ’

As the time slowly approached the evening, I looked at the Japanese fighters who had begun to return one after another, just like the previous days. The Eighth Route Army, which was resting in the hidden spot, also began to get up one after another and wait for dinner, preparing for the general attack battle in the evening.

At five o'clock, the troops participating in the general attack, under the command of the commanders of the regiments, marched one after another to the city of Ulanqab. When night fell, the artillery brigade, which also pushed the artillery out of the hiding point, the field artillery battalion took the lead in the shelling.

Looking at the rumbling artillery sound coming from outside the city, the Japanese troops hiding in the city immediately sounded the alarm and said: "Shelling! ”

Such a situation was nothing new to the Japanese troops in the city. Basically, every day as long as it was dark, the artillery of the Eighth Route Army, which the Air Force could not find during the day, would shell them.

Even if the time of each shelling is not long, but this kind of shelling that comes and goes at every turn still makes the Japanese puppet army in the city frightened. Because they don't know where the target of tonight's shelling will be.

As for the artillery wing in the city, in the counterattack a few nights ago, it had been almost destroyed by the heavy artillery battalion of the artillery brigade. The few remaining mountain guns and field artillery, the Japanese army also did not dare to return fire easily, for fear of being hit by the heavy artillery of the Eighth Route Army again.

The Japanese garrison officer, who heard the siren sounding, also couldn't help but scold: "Baga! It's like this every day, what exactly do these Eighth Route Army want to do? Could it be that they think that a few rounds of shells into the city every day will bring us to our knees? ”

'Your Excellency! I'm afraid that the shelling of the Eighth Route Army is not entirely aimed at us. Their continuous shelling is used to demoralize us. Although it is useless to us, it is still very useful to those imperial allies.

Previously, Yamamoto Shaoza came back from the Imperial Allied Army and brought back hundreds of Imperial Allied soldiers who fled with firearms. During this time, the morale of the Imperial Allied Army fell to the bottom. I want them to cooperate in the battle, but I'm afraid there is no hope! ’

The words of the staff officer made the Japanese garrison officer scold the same: "These useless things! Before the Eighth Route Army attacked the city, they were frightened like this. If they really attacked the city, it is estimated that they would definitely take the initiative to surrender to the Eighth Route Army.

By the way, how is arming our diaspora? It is better to count on these Imperial Allies than to count on our expatriates to help defend the city. It is better to use all the weapons issued to the Imperial Allied Army to arm our diaspora. ”

'Your Excellency Dazuo, I'm afraid this thing won't work! If we really do this, I am afraid that the entire Imperial Association army division that cooperates with us in defending the city will be in real chaos. In this force, there are still some people who can be trusted.

According to what we have learned, most of the Imperial Association soldiers who were deserters were strong men captured by them. In peacetime, they have not undergone too strict training, and they are more used to defend and patrol the city, and they are rarely sent to carry out combat missions.

Many of the Imperial Cooperative Army that are still in the city are Imperial Cooperative Army that have cooperated with us in the mission of going to the countryside to sweep up. These people are afraid that they will not be able to get the preferential treatment policy of the Eighth Route Army outside the city. Therefore, they can only rely on our protection.

If they fall into the hands of the Eighth Route Army, I am afraid that many of them will be tried and executed by the Eighth Route Army. Therefore, for these Imperial Cooperative Army who are deserters, in fact, we don't have to pay too much attention to it.

These deserters are cowards, they are useless at all, and they may even cause chaos for us in battle. When these undetermined cowards are gone, the remaining Imperial Allied Army will be our trustworthy people.

As long as they are given some promises, I am sure that these Imperial Allied troops will fight bravely. I think His Excellency Osa should know better than I do about the faces of these people. So, at this time, we should give them a little more tolerance! ’

While the two were chatting, the cannonballs coming in from outside the city seemed to be empty again. Except for a few unlucky pseudo-Mongolian traitors' houses that were bombed, the Japanese soldiers defending the city were fine at all.

After receiving the report from the patrol members, the garrison officer also said happily: "Yo! Let the Imperial Alliance send someone over and clean up the mess for them! I think that such an errand should not be rejected by the Imperial Army! ”

'So what to pack?' Is it still the old rule? ’

'Of course! However, given the current situation, it is possible to give them a lot more! ’

'Hey! ’

For these puppet Mongolian officials who were killed, the garrison officers in the city did not feel any pity at all. In fact, most of the puppet Mongolian officials who really deserved the attention of the Japanese army were taken into the barracks to live, and there was rarely a possibility of being bombed.

As for those puppet Mongolian officials who live in urban dwellings, most of them are subordinate officials in the puppet Mongolian government. When the Eighth Route Army attacked Ulanqab, they all fled into Ulanqab with their wealth and family members as soon as possible, hoping to get asylum.

Robbing the wealth of these pseudo-Mongolian officials openly, the little devils are naturally not easy to do. Now that the houses of these traitors have been bombed, it is smarter to let the Imperial Association Army help in the name of Kancha and rescue and loot their wealth.

Even if there were puppet Mongolian officials protesting, in the end, the Japanese army only needed to punish a few puppet Mongolian officers, and the wealth they received naturally belonged to them. In the final analysis, the dirty work was done by the Imperial Army, and the Japanese army only needed to sit back and enjoy its achievements.

These garrison officers appointed by the Japanese army may not be proficient in marching and fighting. But as they served as garrison officers, seeing these local tyrants and gentry who gave them money from time to time, these people also began to become corrupt.

Compared to the officers in those units, they can be promoted by virtue of their military exploits. These garrison officers, they need security results, and a certain amount of money to hand over to higher-level garrison officers to get promoted.

It can be said that for many Japanese adjutants nowadays, serving as the garrison officer of some county towns is undoubtedly a beautiful difference. As long as they are clever in their looting methods, their personal wealth will be greatly enhanced when they leave office.

In a sense, the corruption of the Japanese garrison officers also realized that the combat effectiveness of the Japanese army was also degrading. In fact, the combat effectiveness of the Japanese garrison troops stationed in various cities and the field troops that often participated in battles was indeed insufficient.

After all, little devils are also human beings, and they also exist in such a thing as greed! (To be continued.) )
