When gunshots rang out at the east gate, Ono, the commander of the Japanese army in Ningyuan City, was sipping sake in the room of the headquarters at that time. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. ｂiquge。 info On this morning, two women from the Japanese women's condolence group who came to visit the army came to the headquarters, and the meaning of them naturally did not need to be explained.

No, he and Lieutenant Oda enjoyed a wine tasting while enjoying a performance by two Japanese women.

Just when he was drunk and hazy, looking at the two women in front of him who were constantly dancing, and thinking of his wife who had been absent from his family for a long time, suddenly there was a fierce gunfire in the distance.

As soon as he put down his glass, he saw one of his men running in in a panic.

"Report to the commander, it's not good, the New Fourth Army is coming."

"What's the panic, the New Fourth Army is just a chemical army, I have strong fortifications in Ningyuan City, don't lose the prestige of the imperial soldiers." Ono saw the panicked appearance of his subordinates, and couldn't help but curse angrily.

In his opinion, it was nothing more than a few New Fourth Army harassing there, what was there to make a fuss about.

Lieutenant Oda on the side also looked at the Japanese soldiers who came in to report.

"Commander Ono, the defenders of the east gate report that the New Fourth Army disguised itself as imperial soldiers and deceived the city gate, and now it is fighting fiercely with the troops defending the city at the head of the city, and I am afraid that the east gate will not be able to hold it." The Japanese soldier who reported the news was scolded and had the courage to finish his words.

"What? The New Fourth Army entered the East Gate? Hearing this, Ono couldn't hold his breath anymore.

His brigade is responsible for the defense of Ningyuan County, although there is a brigade in his hand, but the important strongholds in the county are also guarded by troops, so that the troops defending the city have only three squadrons, one of which is a machine gun squadron.

However, not long ago, the division commander sent troops south to prevent the 16th Regiment of the New Fourth Army from joining the fourth detachment, and then drew an infantry squadron from Ningyuan County, so that until now, he only has two infantry squadrons and a machine gun squadron in his hands.

The machine gun squadron was dismantled and arranged to defend the city walls, and the soldiers of one squadron were separated to guard the four city gates, and the remaining squadron remained at the headquarters.

As for the gendarmerie in the city, there were only about thirty people, and the plainclothes detective team composed of traitors who had defected to the imperial army was only sixty or seventy.

Of course, the number of Imperial Allies in the city is still not small, about 500 people.

At this time, the New Fourth Army suddenly came to attack the city, and it had already entered the east gate, and if the east gate was not recaptured, the consequences would be very serious.

"Commander Ono, otherwise, I'll take a team over and take the east gate back." Xiao Tian saw that the chief had an ugly face, and immediately stood up and took the initiative to ask for help.

"Okay, Xiao Tianjun, the east gate must be taken back, in this way, I will let Xiao Guoguo cooperate with you." When Ono saw that Oda took the initiative to ask for battle, he immediately said with satisfaction.

Xiao Guoguo is the commander of the Imperial Association Corps in Ningyuan County, and although his troops cooperate with the imperial army to defend the four city gates, there is still a battalion of troops in his regimental headquarters.

Xiao Tian hurriedly went out, gathered a small team's troops, and rushed to the east gate with the cooperation of a company of the Imperial Association Army, which had received the order.

At this time, at the east gate, the imperial army guarding the city gate and the thirty or so devils have been eliminated, Ou Biaofei's company has rushed into the east gate, a platoon of troops controlled the fortifications at the head of the city, and two platoons attacked and advanced along the city wall to the north and south.

At the city gate, the second and third companies of the European standard flying and the machine gun company also poured into the east gate.

The shopkeeper Song had already joined up with the reconnaissance company that had rushed into the city, and after handing over the east gate to the third battalion, they immediately ran towards the city.

Their target was the ammunition depot and material warehouse set up by the Japanese army in the city.

Less than two minutes after Oda ran towards the east gate with his troops, several figures suddenly appeared, and the guns in their hands opened fire violently at the Japanese troops at Ono's headquarters, knocking over the three Japanese soldiers, and quickly retreating to the side.

At the same time that these figures attacked the Ono headquarters, Xiao Guoguo's regimental headquarters, gendarmerie, pseudo-police station and other places also rang out gunshots one after another, and gunfire broke out everywhere in the entire county, so that the Japanese army did not know how many New Fourth Army troops had entered the county seat.

Xiao Tian led the team to run all the way along the street, seeing that the east gate was in sight, turned a street, but saw that obstacles suddenly appeared on the street in front of him, Xiao Tian was worried that the New Fourth Army would not be able to drive out after gaining a firm foothold, so he waved his command knife and rushed forward without stopping, and the devils and the Imperial Alliance Army around him rushed forward while shooting.

Suddenly, the dull sound of heavy machine guns and crooked machine guns sounded in front of me, and the sound was like a cheerful music, which was incomparably melodious in the night sky. As the gunshots rang out, countless bullets weaved a metal web of death across the wide, straight street.

The devils and the Imperial Allied Army who were running in front fell in pieces, and the devils and the Imperial Allied Army behind knew that the New Fourth Army had set up a blocking position with powerful firepower in front, and hurriedly looked for cover, and the grenadier soldiers panicked to set up grenadiers.

It's a pity that as the machine guns of the New Fourth Army rang out, countless figures suddenly appeared on both sides, shooting at the two wings of the Japanese puppet army while shooting, and at the same time, grenade grenadiers and so on, flew desperately.

The squad commanded by Oda was caught off guard and fell more than 30 people in a blink of an eye, while the Imperial Alliance Army, which cooperated with the action, turned around and ran away in fright after the fall of more than 20 people.

Oda's remaining Japanese troops were disorganized by the fleeing Imperial Army, and naturally ran backwards, and behind them, the wolf-like New Fourth Army bravely pursued them.

Xiao Tian, who was in a panic, ran across a street with his troops, and found that all the imperial troops were gone, and only more than a dozen Japanese soldiers followed him to the headquarters.

Behind them, dozens of New Fourth Army troops opened fire and chased wildly.

When it was not easy to meet with the Japanese troops who were receiving from the headquarters, the squad he personally commanded, but only less than ten people ran back.

Thinking of the swiftness of the New Fourth Army's pursuit and the strength of the firepower, Oda had palpitations. Seeing Ono running out after hearing the sound, he said hurriedly: "Commander Ono, the main force of the New Fourth Army has entered the city from the east gate, and Ningyuan City can no longer be defended, let's break through." ”

"Oda-kun, how many New Fourth Army are coming?" Ono's face also changed at this time, you must know that Oda is one of his fierce generals, and he once killed twenty people in Nanjing in one go.

"Commander Ono, judging from the sound of gunfire and the enemy's equipment, there is at least one division, and there are four heavy machine guns that blocked us just now, and there are more than a dozen light machine guns. A small team of Imperial soldiers, in the blink of an eye, there are only these few people left, if it weren't for God's blessing, I wouldn't be able to come back. Thinking of the fierce pursuit of the New Fourth Army just now, he still felt a little afraid.

"A division? Where did so many Chinese come from. Ono's eyes rolled twice, but at this time, he noticed that the gunfire of the south gate and the west gate also seemed to be advancing towards the city, thinking that the south gate and the southwest gate were also captured by the Chinese.

Because when the battle began, he clearly heard the explosion of the bombardment of the Imperial 92 Infantry Artillery and the sound of mortar bombardment, and the 92 Infantry Gun in his hand was built in a courtyard on the side of the headquarters, and the artillery was not fired.

The Chinese army used infantry artillery produced by the empire, could it be Liu Tianshu's 16th Regiment? A thought crossed Ono's mind.

It's just that at this time, the county town was full of gunshots and explosions, and it was like a pot of porridge, and he couldn't figure out what the actual situation was.

Only the north gate seemed to be still in his hand, Ono thought for a moment, turned to an officer and said, "Order Saburo Okamura to blow up the arsenal immediately, and then retreat from the north gate." ”

There were no gunshots in the direction of the arsenal for the time being, and the New Fourth Army had not yet discovered the location of the arsenal.

Since it is necessary to retreat, the ammunition in the arsenal and the materials in the warehouse, naturally, cannot be left to the Chinese.

Just as the officer turned to make a call, a fierce gunfire suddenly rang out from the direction of the arsenal, and the phone could no longer be reached.

Hearing the continuous gunfire in the direction of the arsenal, the muscles on Ono's face twitched twice, and said to Oda: "Oda-kun, the ammunition of the arsenal must not fall into the hands of the Chinese, you take a team over, be sure to destroy the arsenal, and immediately rush to the north gate after completing the task, I will meet you at the north gate." ”

After saying that, Ono asked a team that had completed the assembly to follow Oda to reinforce the arsenal, and he took the remaining Japanese troops, as well as the gendarmerie and plainclothes detective team who hurriedly ran to the headquarters after learning that the New Fourth Army was attacking the city, and hurried towards the north gate.

As soon as he ran a street, he ran into Xiao Guoguo, the commander of the Imperial Association Army, and Xiao Guoye still had two companies of the Imperial Association Army by his side at that time, so he naturally followed Ono to the north gate.

Liu Tianshu saw that the third battalion had entered the city from the east gate, so he naturally had the chance to win, but what he was most worried about was that before the devil fled, he would blow up all the ammunition and materials in the arsenal.

Therefore, as soon as the third battalion entered the city, two platoons of Zhou Aiguo's reconnaissance company immediately rushed to the devil's arsenal under the leadership of Shopkeeper Song and others.

Leading in front was a platoon disguised as Japanese troops, who quickly rushed to the arsenal after avoiding the Japanese troops who had come from the headquarters to reinforce the east gate.

Zhou Aiguo asked the Song shopkeeper and the second platoon of the reconnaissance company to guard outside, while he took the third platoon disguised as a Japanese soldier and hurriedly walked towards the gate of the arsenal.

"Stop, what are you doing?" The devils guarding outside saw a group of Imperial soldiers coming, and still raised their guns vigilantly and shouted.

"I'm Second Lieutenant Yamamoto, the New Fourth Army has begun to attack the city, and I have come to carry out a special mission on the orders of Commander Ono." Zhou Aiguo said in Japanese.

In order to let the people of the reconnaissance company learn Japanese, Liu Tianshu tried his best some time ago, and he finally managed to get a Japanese teacher from the city of Nanjing to conduct special training for the soldiers of the reconnaissance company.

The Japanese soldiers guarding the door knew that there was a second lieutenant Yamamoto in the headquarters, but this second lieutenant was said to have been by Commander Ono's side all the time, and he rarely went out in normal times, and even if they saw it, they only saw it from a distance, and the light was dim at this time, so they naturally couldn't tell it.

As he spoke, Zhou Aiguo walked over and looked at the soldier with his eyes, "Okamura, take me to see him." (To be continued.) )
