Volume 3 Step by Step Chapter 192 Night Attack (II)

Dai Ziran's analysis of Yang Sixian, the commander of the second regiment, was very in place, and Yang Sixian really did just that, not only successfully seized two groups of 12 reconnaissance officers and soldiers sent by the enemy by setting up an ambush in advance, but also decisively dispatched a reconnaissance platoon under his command after interrogation, divided into six groups, and each group sent two brothers with the best marksmanship to touch the periphery of the enemy's station and shoot black guns.

After several groups of guard posts arranged by the Guangdong army on the periphery of the camp were shot and killed from a long distance, the officers and men of the 40th Brigade of the Guangdong Army were in great panic, and they did not dare to carry out a counterattack with all their heavy troops in the dark night, so they could only send a few elite companies and carry out a counterattack with many machine guns.

Two hours later, when everything had calmed down, and the half-tired Cantonese officers and men had just laid down to sleep, the four machine gun teams sent by Yang Sixian set up eight Czech light machine guns again and fired wildly at the enemy camp from the southeast and northeast.

Officers at all levels of the Guangdong Army were even more miserable, and Deng Bohan, chief of staff in charge of full command, finally waited for the chaotic gunfire to stop, and immediately picked up the phone to report the situation to Chen Zhang, the division commander of Nanxiong, but found that the military special line could not be reached.

This situation immediately frightened the cautious and suspicious Deng Bohan into a cold sweat, and while he ordered officers at all levels to return to their units to strictly prevent the enemy from sneaking attack, he used a radio station to urgently report the dangerous situation to Chen Zhang, asking Chen Zhang for instructions.

In order to prevent a possible surprise attack by the opponent, officers at all levels have been guarding the officers and men under their command with fear, but the enemy who is like a night owl is extremely vicious, and every hour or two, in the distant dark mountainside or woods, they use several machine guns to fire intensively at the camp, causing the officers and men of Guangdong to panic and dare not lie down and sleep until dawn.

Chen Zhang in Nanxiong City received an urgent telegram from Deng Bohan, worried, he had been in the army for 20 years, and had never encountered such an unruly, despicable and cunning opponent, after repeated consideration, he could only order Deng Bohan to properly shrink the formation, increase vigilance, and never let the enemy be caught off guard, and told Deng Bohan that as long as he held out until dawn, the enemy's harassment would automatically stop, and then he would retaliate fiercely with artillery fire.

Compared with the panicked officers and men of Wujing Town, the Cantonese officers and men in Nanxiong City were a hundred times more comfortable; although under the repeated orders of division commander Chen Zhang, the guard battalion and the engineer company frequently sent patrols to guard the whole city, but because the main force left for the front line and the troops in the city were empty, the vigilance and patrols outside the city were very lax.

At four o'clock in the morning, Lu Kuiyuan led 300 elites under his command to quietly jump out of the Fotou Ridge, which was 1.5 kilometers southeast of the city, and the soldiers were divided into two roads, and slowly touched under the city wall between the south gate and the east gate of Nanxiong.

There are a series of dwellings outside the south gate and the east gate, and many people have dogs, the watchdog with a developed sense of smell and keen hearing opens its mouth to bark when it hears the movement, Lei Peng and Lei Yan several She brothers immediately took out the tiger teeth hanging on the chest, the refreshing southeast wind soon blew the unique subtle smell of the tiger teeth out of the house, the watchdog who was still barking just now miraculously stopped barking, and the quiet darkness can faintly hear a few fearful lows from the watchdog sound.

The Cantonese patrols between the two gates walked through once an hour, each with only six or seven people, and they talked loudly as they went, looking very relaxed.

At 4:15 a.m., the six-member patrol from the east gate to the south gate walked lazily along the periphery of the city wall and walked to the open area between the two houses, and the six special soldiers hidden in the grass suddenly pounced, and the sharp dagger either cut the neck of the patrol sentry or pierced the heart, and before the brothers who succeeded in the sneak attack put down the bodies that were struggling in vain, more than a dozen brothers wearing the uniforms of the Cantonese army and wearing the big hats of the garrison officers and soldiers had straightened their waists, quickly sorted out their clothes, and picked up the rifles on the ground. Under the personal leadership of the battalion commander Lu Kuiyuan and the company commander Lei Biao, they were divided into two teams and walked towards the two city gates in the southeast.

Sun Chengyuan dragged the corpse in his arms to the corner of the city wall, made a gesture to the brothers who were slowly following, suddenly turned to the city wall, jumped up, silently ascended like a gecko, turned over to the city head in a blink of an eye, observed for a moment and immediately threw down the rope around his waist, and pulled a sharp soldier up the city wall with three strikes and two blows

The spearhead threw down the rope, immediately untied the rope loop around his waist, and threw the rope head down with a shake of his hand, pulling up the two brothers under the city almost at the same time as Sun Chengyuan.

In less than a minute, there were more than ten brothers crawling on the head of the city, two of them, under the leadership of Sun Chengyuan, slowly touched the gatehouse on the east gate, and the other brothers hung down ropes, and more than 200 brothers under the city grabbed the ropes in turn and climbed quickly.

In the center of the tower on the east gate, there is a square machine gun fortification stacked with sandbags, two sentries leaning on the sandbags smoking cigarettes and chatting in a low voice, and they don't understand what's going on, they feel that they are instantly unconscious when it is dark in front of them, and a sharp dagger is inserted into the back of the head of one person, and the other person is directly pinched off by Sun Chengyuan.

After succeeding, the two brothers quickly entered the fortifications, pretending to be enemy soldiers to continue to be on alert, Sun Chengyuan quietly entered the gatehouse, looked carefully through the starlight through the door window, and then walked to the five sleeping enemy officers and soldiers, and without hesitation, he pulled out his daggers and dropped them one by one.

In the shadows on the south side of the city tower, Lu Kuiyuan saw the signal from the city and immediately led eight brothers to walk towards the city gate in a line.

Under the dim light at the city gate, the two sentries guarding the city gate had no doubt when they saw the patrol coming back, one of them was still squatting down and rubbing the itchy sandworm feet, and the other looked at Lu Kuiyuan, who was getting closer and closer, and suddenly found that the situation was wrong, and subconsciously opened his mouth and was about to shout, but the dagger in Lu Kuiyuan's hand had pierced his throat.

The other sentry raised his head in surprise, Lu Kuiyuan's bullet leg that cut through the wind had already hit his neck hard, only to hear a crisp sound of "click", the sentinel's body flew out three meters and hit the city wall, and when he landed, Lu Kuiyuan's long legs stretched out again in advance, blocking a strip, and crushing the body under the city wall.

The rest of the brothers quickly entered the shadowy places on both sides of the city gate, threw away their long rifles, untied the Thomson submachine gun behind their backs, and quickly loaded and waited for orders.

Lu Kuiyuan let out a long breath and was about to lead his brothers into Dongdajie, where the enemy's division headquarters was located, when a dense burst of gunfire suddenly came from the direction of the south gate.

The brothers were taken aback and looked nervously at Lu Kuiyuan, who was also surprised.

Lu Kuiyuan cursed in annoyance, and with a low roar, he rushed into the city first, and the brothers immediately strode and followed closely.

Gunfire outside the south gate grew more and more intense.

Lei Biao, the commander of the first company of the spies, and seven brothers who had exposed their traces resolutely launched a strong attack, and eliminated more than ten guards up and down the city tower at the cost of three wounded, and more than 80 brothers hidden in the dark were led by Lei Yan, the commander of the second company of the spies, and rushed out of the barracks at the south gate as fast as possible.

The officers and men of the special service company that rushed out of the barracks in rags were knocked down in pieces as soon as they ran out of the barracks, and the anti-explosive grenades imitating the British Mark III type of high-explosive grenades continued to fly into the panicked columns of the Cantonese troops, and the violent explosion caused huge casualties among the Cantonese officers and men who retreated into the barracks, and also woke up the famous city on the border of Jiangxi and Guangdong in the dark night from their slumber.

There was chaos in the majestic and imposing county government compound on Chengdong Street.

The officers and men of two companies of the division headquarters guard battalion organized a defense amid the chaotic shouts, and a machine gun was carried to the front and back of the courtyard by the panicked officers and men, and a small number of calm veterans bravely held the machine guns and quickly climbed to the commanding heights of the courtyard wall.

As soon as the veterans who climbed the courtyard wall appeared, they were hit by the dense bullets that flew accurately and fell off the courtyard wall, and the two heavy machine guns that had just been erected at the gate were also lost after a series of deafening explosions, and immediately after, a series of grenades flew into the courtyard wall, and the more than 60 officers and men who had not had time to withdraw to the main hall were either blown up into the air or shattered and died on the spot, and the guard battalion commander, who was so frightened that he did not have time to put on his shoes, shouted and retreated to the main hall, and the more than 100 Cantonese officers and soldiers who came from the rear were frightened where could they hear the order. All of them subconsciously looked for cover, shooting desperately at the gate and the courtyard walls on both sides, and soon died under the constantly flying high-explosive grenades.

In the northeast corner of the county government compound, battalion commander Lu Kuiyuan and Sun Chengyuan met and waved their hands and led more than 30 brothers to rush to the backyard, and more than 30 high-explosive grenades from the first wave of attacks flew into the high wall, and a series of explosions blew up the small pavilion in the backyard to rubble, and sawdust was splashed everywhere, and the heavy door panel of the backyard door, together with the four machine gunners, was blown to pieces by the five grenades that fell accurately.

Lu Kuiyuan, who was red-eyed, rushed into the smoke of gunpowder first, and more than 30 brothers followed, and more than 30 submachine guns fired wildly at all movable targets in the courtyard.

The hall of the county government courtyard was already in chaos, and Chen Zhang, the commander of the 14th Division of the Cantonese Army under the protection of his personal guards, gave a loud order, and all the division personnel raised their rifles and Bergman submachine guns, and rushed to the front and back yards in the midst of Chen Zhang's angry roar

The continuous explosions and dense gunfire caused a huge chaos in the entire compound, and the terrible screams were heard in the billowing smoke.

Sun Chengyuan, who changed into the uniform of the Cantonese army, after losing four Cantonese soldiers all the way, relied on the cover of the rising gunpowder smoke to successfully touch the window on the east side of the lobby of the Intermediate Courtyard, hid by the window to observe for a moment and jumped into the window, and the continuous bullets from the Colt pistol in his hand knocked the four guards to the ground.

Chen Zhang, the commander of the 14th Division, was just about to pull out his gun, but the butt of the gun in Sun Chengyuan's hand had already hit Chen Zhang's head with a shocked face.

Sun Chengyuan ran to the east gate in one breath, threw the Chen Zhang on his shoulder to the two answering brothers, and loudly ordered to send a signal, and the three red signal flares soon rose into the sky, and the dazzling light illuminated the ancient city of Nanxiong, which was filled with gunsmoke and fire, a blood-red color.

Seeing the retreat signal, the brothers of the spy company did not hesitate to leave the battlefield, carried the wounded brothers, and rushed out of the east and south gates as quickly as possible.

In the smoke of gunpowder, Lu Kuiyuan and his brothers rushed out of the backyard with five injured brothers and rushed to the east gate, and quickly left the city with the response of two teams of brothers.
