Chapter 784: Nantong 'Massacre'
In Nantong City, the heavy artillery brigade that is slandered, with the departure of 20,000 troops, including the division commander Kanda Masasan and others, successfully took over as the temporary supreme commander of Nantong City, and became the first person in Nantong City to be the division chief of staff, Major General Yongqing, and the mood can be said to be very good.
As soon as he took over the command, he convened his first military meeting as supreme commander. In front of his subordinates, he began to enjoy the power that he had always dreamed of as a leader.
Quickly glanced at the conference room in front of him, all along, the chief of staff of the nominal division and regiment, the officers who were not particularly respectful, the # corners of the mouth of the chief of staff, Major General Yongqing, immediately showed a sneer, and then, under the shocked gaze of everyone, he spoke.
Ladies and gentlemen, Your Excellency the Division Commander, I am deeply honored to entrust such an important task of defending Nantong City to me, and of course, I will definitely live up to the trust placed in me by His Excellency the Regiment Commander. Therefore, in the next period of time, I hope that all of you here can cooperate with me well to ensure the safety of the entire Nantong City and complete the tasks assigned to me by His Excellency the division commander. ”
Ha Yi, please rest assured that Your Excellency the Chief of Staff will wither and obey Your Excellency the Chief of Staff," the officers replied in unison in the face of the high-spirited Chief of Staff in front of them.
"Yo Xi, very good" Major General Yongqing replied with great satisfaction with everyone's respectful answers.
However, in just a moment, Major General Yongqing, who was still smiling just now, was shrouded in Yan Li's expression. Just when everyone's hearts suddenly "sighed, suddenly, I felt a little bad." The voice of Major General Yan Li of Yongqing reached everyone's ears.
"From what I have always known, there are still very big flaws in the defense system of the entire Nantong City. At the same time, because some officers did not fulfill their responsibilities and other reasons, there were also many loopholes in the defense system of the entire Nantong City. Therefore, in order to better improve the urban defense system of Nantong City and successfully complete the tasks entrusted to us by His Excellency the division commander, I have decided to carry out a major adjustment of the defensive positions of various combat units. The duties of some commanders will also be fine-tuned to a certain extent..".
In this way, under the angry and unwilling eyes of a group of officers, Major General Yongqing, taking advantage of his position, quickly adjusted his cronies to his posts... Of course, those cronies who do not belong to them, even if they have great ability, are mercilessly transferred from their positions by Major General Yongqing.."."."..
And in this sudden, large-scale military mobilization, Nantong City's originally tight defense system immediately appeared countless loopholes. Of course, the large-scale movement of the Japanese defenders in Nantong City did not escape the eyes of intelligence officers. As a result, one by one, the information was transmitted very quickly to the distance from Nantong City through the radio waves. to a five-kilometer stretch of mountains.
"Commander, political commissar, division commander Liu, this is the latest information that has just been transmitted by the intelligence officers in Nantong City" In a dark green tent, a communications staff officer quickly rushed in and reported to a few people next to the map.
After reading the telegram quickly, the face of Bruce Lee, the commander of the guard column, immediately showed a look of excitement. Then he said excitedly to Liu Xiaogang beside him: "Political commissar, Lao Liu, we have been hiding here for a long time, and now, the opportunity that belongs to us has finally come..".".".
As he spoke, he handed the telegram in his hand to Liu Xiaogang, the commander of the special operations division beside him. Then, he continued to speak: "If all the information is true, the city defense system of Nantong City must be full of loopholes, and now, it happens to be night, and it is an excellent time for us to do it..." According to the content of this information, the east gate of Nantong City is stationed with less than one brigade of Japanese garrisons, which is the weakest garrison in the middle of several city gates. 丨Dagger S∪.SS11 update fast) Lao Li, give me an hour, I promise to quietly take the north gate of Nantong City? Division Commander Liu Xiaogang did not answer Bruce Lee's question, and directly put forward the battle plan in his heart based on the information in his hand.
"If the north gate can be quietly occupied, the three brigades under the guard column can rush into Nantong City in the shortest possible time and encircle the barracks of the Japanese strongholds in the city. Then, suddenly launch an attack, through close combat, to catch the enemy by surprise. In this case, a heavy artillery brigade deployed by the Japanese army in the city, including a field artillery wing directly under a division and regiment, with a total of several hundred large-caliber artillery pieces, would be completely useless. However, half an hour is not, after all, there are nearly a thousand little devils" For Liu Xiaogang's proposal, Bruce Lee's mind immediately appeared this kind of work
Benefits of the war program. Then, very approvingly, he added.
"Lao Li, don't worry, you don't know the combat effectiveness of my special operations division. Now I have two regiments in my hands, almost two and a half thousand troops. With 2,500 special combat personnel, if you can't get rid of the garrison of less than 1,000 little devils, then I, Liu Xiaogang, will not live, you can rest assured and guarantee the completion of the task. It's eleven o'clock in the evening, and at one o'clock in the morning, you are on time with your troops, rushing to the east gate, ready to enter the city.. got an affirmative answer from Bruce Lee. Liu Xiaogang's face immediately showed a confident smile, and he swore a promise
Okay, then I'll wait for your good news. At one o'clock in the morning, go to the north gate on time to round with your special operations division" Liu Xiaogang, who has a certain understanding of the combat effectiveness of the special operations division, saw Liu Xiaogang with a confident face in front of him. Without any further hesitation, he replied in the affirmative.
Perhaps it is the reason why Liu Xiaogang's luck is too good, at this moment, the defense of the east gate is indeed the weakest and the most lax of all the gates in Nantong City.
Masakata Matsuda, who has always served as an operational staff officer in the General Staff, has no experience in any military positions. In this military transfer, because he claimed to be the confidant and favorite general of Major General Yongqing, he luckily became the captain of the East Gate Garrison Brigade.
As the so-called three fires for new officials to take office, the first fire for Matsuda Shaozo is not to sort out the military discipline of the garrison at the east gate. Instead, he encouraged the troops to relax on their first day in office and celebrate their promotion.
Just when Liu Xiaogang, with the second and third regiments of the special operations division and more than 2,000 special combat soldiers, quietly touched the city gate less than 200 meters, because the entire garrison brigade was in the relaxation just now, and he was drunk. On the hundreds of meters long city wall, there were less than ten Japanese patrols left, walking around the city wall casually, without any vigilance: "What a godsend, brothers, next, it depends on the performance of all of us." It's still the old rule, after the battle, who didn't have the blood of the little devil on the knife. After I go back, on the basis of the usual training, add a month of devil training, all set off, look for the target of the attack on their own, half an hour later, I want to see, the city gate in front of me, by you quietly opened...
After a burst of special warfare sign language, dozens of special warfare丨dagger S∪.SS11 update fast) elites first disappeared from everyone's field of vision.
Then, in less than a few minutes, on the city wall a hundred meters away, a series of ghost-like black shadows appeared... One by one, ghostly black shadows, under the expectant gaze of everyone, quickly climbed the ten-meter-high city wall... Immediately afterwards, on the city wall, dozens of Japanese patrols who were still loyal to their duties disappeared from everyone's field of vision. At the same time, several lights shone down from the city wall, indicating that the Japanese army on the city wall had been cleaned up... A team, follow me.."..
"Second team, follow me.."...
At this moment, the special operations divisions of more than 2,000 people are like a high-speed rotating war machine, under the leadership of their respective detachment commanders, rapidly spinning. A pair of special combat soldiers, armed with daggers, quickly jumped out of the hidden position under the cover of the special operations elite on the city wall, and rushed towards the city wall not far away..". Quickly rushed into the Japanese barracks, and a strong smell of alcohol swept over "Captain, what's the matter, how can the barracks have such a strong smell of alcohol Moreover, the entire barracks, not even a single sentry has been seen, it is even more lax than the city wall" Smelling the pungent smell of alcohol in the air, a team member whispered.
"Oh, brethren, we are very lucky. If nothing else, 1 little devil is all drunk. Now the little devil must be sleeping like a pig, waiting for us to kill... Brothers, don't show me mercy and start acting" As he spoke, a bloodthirsty smile appeared on the captain's face. And then, the first one rushed to the barracks ..". Needless to say, the rest of the story is well known. After several hours of revelry, stimulated by alcohol, nearly a thousand Japanese soldiers were already drunk. In the face of 2,000 and powerful special combat soldiers, there was almost no room for resistance. It's like killing a chicken, being killed in your sleep.."..,
For a while, a strong smell of blood began to come from one barracks after another. Immediately afterwards, a pair of special combat team members also walked out of the barracks with a look of excitement on their faces
"Report to the captain, the first detachment completed the task and eliminated fifty-six Japanese troops.."...
"Captain, the second detachment completed the task and eliminated 58 Japanese soldiers.."...
In less than twenty minutes, a whole brigade of Japanese barracks was stationed, among the special combat troops
