Captain Takeda did not take the partisans into account at first.

Before today, Captain Takeda had never fought the guerrillas head-on, and the guerrillas had always been careful to avoid confrontation with the Japanese troops in Qingyang County, so Captain Takeda was still very unfamiliar with the guerrillas, but this did not prevent him from having a basic judgment on the guerrillas' combat effectiveness.

After all, the reality of the partisans is there.

Captain Takeda originally thought that it would never be a problem for the Japanese army to pass through the Swallow Cave, the question was how long it would take to open the road, however, as soon as the two sides received fire, Captain Takeda knew that he was wrong.

Listening to the sound of gunfire, the strength of the guerrillas may not be too much, at best there are only 100 people.

Judging from the sound of gunfire, there are 38-type rifles, Zhongcheng, Hanyang-made, and even old-fashioned old sleeves, and there are only two machine guns, one Czech and one crooked, and the gunfire is also intermittent.

Therefore, both in terms of equipment and troops, the Japanese army has an overwhelming advantage.

Logically speaking, the Japanese army could easily defeat the guerrillas, but when the battle really began, Captain Takeda found that the guerrillas were more difficult than he imagined, although they were poorly equipped, they were very sophisticated, and before the battle began, they preemptively occupied the two hills on both sides of the road, and no matter which hill the Japanese attacked, they would be covered by the enemy's crossfire.

The tentative attack of the Ij was quickly defeated, and a dozen Japanese soldiers were lost.

"Yagayalu." Captain Takeda cursed and unbuttoned his military uniform, the weather had begun to get hot at this time, and even in the second half of the night, it was still hot and unbearable, but what made Captain Takeda even more anxious was the urging telegram from the brigade headquarters every half hour.

The brigade headquarters urged so urgently, it can be seen that the situation in Longkou County must have been very serious.

Captain Takeda called Nomura, the leader of the first team, to him, and shouted with a hideous expression: "Nomura-san, I will give you half an hour, and within half an hour, you must take down the mountains on both sides of the road and open the road."

"Hai" Second Lieutenant Nomura bowed heavily, turned around and rallied his troops.

(Dividing Line)

In fact, the situation faced by the Japanese army in Longkou was very serious, but it was far from collapse.

The attack of the 19th detachment of the anti-Japanese salvation army in southern Anhui on the headquarters of the Longkou County Gendarmerie was not smooth and very unsmooth

Longkou County is a small border county full of bandits since ancient times, not only the city wall is built much stronger than the general county seat, even the county government is specially reinforced, the surrounding wall is two zhang high, the two sides are wrapped with green bricks, and the middle is the rammed earth of glutinous rice juice and straw mixed with loess, and its solidity is comparable to concrete.

After the Japanese army occupied Longkou, the county government became the headquarters of the gendarmerie, and also carried out another reinforcement, two ring barricades were erected outside the gate of the county government, barbed wire fences were erected on the surrounding walls, and four corners were also covered with artillery towers, and there were sentry posts on each artillery tower on duty uninterruptedly, which was simply a small fortress.

When a surprise attack turned into a strong attack, the nineteen detachments seemed to have few options.

The strong attack of the four brigades was once again pushed back by small Japan, and more than a dozen veterans of the Sichuan army were also lost.

Little Japan not only built two rings at the gate, but also welded two machine gun nests with steel plates.

Fan Xiaoha, who led the team, came to Xu Shijiu with a sad face and shouted: "Detachment leader, this can't be done, if you continue to attack like this, the brothers will all fight Liao quickly." ”

Niu Sigen and several puppet army officers also looked over and looked at Xu Shijiu with a smile.

Xu Shijiu is also scratching his head, relying not only on the will to fight, or tactics, but also on equipment, not to mention the southern Anhui Anti-Japanese National Salvation Army, a temporary patchwork of miscellaneous troops, even if the Central Army comes, it may not be able to get the little Japan in the shrinking turtle shell, in the final analysis, the attack has to rely on heavy weapons.

But what the Anti-Japanese National Salvation Army in southern Anhui lacks now is heavy weapons.

Even if there was an 8hmm caliber mortar, Xu Shijiu would be able to smash open this turtle shell.

The gendarmerie of the small temple was actually equipped with mortars, but this little devil had some vision, and seeing that the destruction of the main force of the gendarmerie was inevitable, he decisively blew up the only two mortars, even the grenadier canisters were destroyed, and all the shells were thrown out as grenades to blow up people, so the 19th detachment did not capture the mortars.

If it was daytime, Gao Shenxing could also hunt down the little Japanese machine gunners one by one with his excellent marksmanship.

But now it's nighttime, and no matter how good Gao Shen's marksmanship is, he can't accurately shoot a bullet into the machine gun's nest, which is only a foot square.

There was really nothing to be done, and Xu Shijiu could only order a pause in the attack.

"Detachment leader, why don't we withdraw first?" Fan Xiaoha had already played the drum.

Niu Sigen is also a little moved, it is too difficult to storm the gendarmerie headquarters, rather than wasting time here in vain and losing troops in vain, it is better to take advantage of the opportunity to break the county town and get some benefits, especially those merchants who openly and secretly took refuge in small Japan, robbed him of his dogs, and let them be dogs.

Thinking of these profiteers in the city, Niu Sigen gritted his teeth with hatred.

In the past, Little Japan didn't come, and these merchants treated their patrol officers as grandfathers, but as soon as Little Japan came, these merchants no longer treated them as people, and others didn't say it, just said that the boss of the Drunken Immortal Building, the old fart of the money, when did he give money when he had nothing to do with Niu Sigen to go to the Drunken Immortal Building for a meal? It's good now, not only do you give money, but the price is more expensive than others.

Niu Sigen also took someone to smash it once, but Qian Lao Fart sued the gendarmerie directly, and as a result, the former gendarmerie captain called Niu Sigen to the headquarters of the gendarmerie. It's not because his wife secretly has a leg with the former gendarmerie captain, this dog thing who doesn't treat his own woman as a human being

At that moment, Niu Sigen said tentatively: "Chief Xu, why don't you fight here first, and suppress those traitors first?" ”

"No, retreating in the face of difficulties has never been the style of our nineteenth detachment," Xu Nineteen categorically refused.

Niu Sigen couldn't help but be stunned for a moment, he didn't expect Xu Shijiu to refuse so crisply, and so decisively, it was at this moment that Niu Sigen suddenly remembered that he was no longer the acting brigade commander of the Imperial Association Army Garrison Brigade, and now he was a member of the Anti-Japanese National Salvation Army in southern Anhui, and he hadn't decided on what position he would.

Xu Shijiu used his brains to think about it, if he couldn't attack strongly, then there would only be a surprise attack

But little Japan has already taken precautions, and if it wants to make a surprise attack, how easy is it to talk about it?

Xu Jiujiu thought about it, Zuihou really made him think of a way that was not a way.

It was still the Battle of Songhu, because of Zhu Xia's facilitation, the 19th Brigade was transferred from the Shanghai Security Corps to the Central Army's U Pei, Xu 19 went to Wusong Town with Zhu Xia first, and as a result, he encountered a surprise attack by the small Japanese special combat team, and the security team stationed in Wusong Town left a deep impression on Xu 19.

Xu Jiujiu still remembers the captain of the Wusong security team, a seal born as a bandit.

At that time, when fighting street battles with the little Japanese special forces in Wusong Town, the seals' security team was full of strange tricks, dark tricks, and secret tricks, and even the well-equipped and well-trained little Japanese special forces were tired of coping.

At that moment, Xu Shijiu called Niu Sigen to him and asked, "Brigadier Niu, is there a grocery store in the city?"

Niu Sigen was a little stunned, and said casually: "Grocery store? There are more than a dozen, the most famous is the old Chen Ji store in the east gate, a century-old brand, the price is fair, and the children are not bullied. ”

Xu 19 said again: "In the grocery store, is there any one that sells chili noodles?" ”

"Since it's a grocery store, how can you not have chili noodles?" Niu Sigen is more and more dazed, although the people of southern Anhui are not as spicy as the Hunan people, the Sichuan people are famous, but they are also not spicy, if a meal is not spicy, it will be boring to eat, so every grocery store, chili noodles are necessary goods.

"There's a way for this," Xu Shiyi clapped his hands and said, "Brigadier Niu, you will take the brothers to collect all the chili noodles from various grocery stores, I have an urgent need." ”

Niu Sigen was stunned and said, "Chief Xu, now?" ”

"Yes, right now." Xu Nineteen nodded and said, "Can you take the gendarmerie headquarters, just point to this chili noodles." ”

"Sir Xu, are you going to choke little Japan with chili noodles?" Niu Sigen finally came back to his senses, so his eyes lit up, and he took a company and went to collect chili noodles in a hurry.
