As soon as he heard Liu Zhuzi's report, Zhang Ke poked his head out of the alley and carefully observed the situation in the compound. Then Zhang Ke retracted his head and whispered to the leaders of several combat teams. Zhang Ke said to the group leaders who came up around: "Brothers, in my judgment, this is an important place in Little Japan, there are more than 20 Japanese troops outside the courtyard alone, as well as heavy machine gun fortifications, we must find a way to capture it." ”

At this time, Liu Zhuzi asked in a low voice: "Company Commander Zhang, there are so many Japanese troops outside the gate here, and there may be more Japanese troops in the courtyard, can we capture them with our people?" Zhang Ke replied confidently: "I brought three battle teams, plus your group, there are four teams, and two bazooka groups, the number of people is enough." ”

Seeing that Zhang Ke was extremely confident, Liu Zhuzi didn't say more, and then Zhang Ke continued: "Next, I'll assign a task." The bazooka team was responsible for taking out two heavy machine gun fire points at the first time. Then each group of sharpshooters was responsible for a target, and we had to kill most of the Japanese in the first attack. Four machine guns were to suppress Japanese fire so that the assaulters could strike. The sharpshooters and machine gunners each looked for a suitable place to hide, and we started moving in ten minutes. ”

The soldiers of each group moved separately according to the order, and the Japanese troops outside the compound were also very nervous because of the sound of gunfire in the city, and they all stayed behind the sandbag fortifications, nervously patrolling around. Ten minutes passed quickly, and both bazooka teams were ready. Zhang Ke stood next to the bazooka group, saw that the time had come, and waved his right hand down vigorously and said, "Let's act!"

Two bazookas fired at the same time, and two fires and arrows whizzed towards the two heavy machine gun bunkers. At the moment when the fire and arrow shells exploded, several crisp gunshots rang out at the same time, and several Japanese soldiers on the Japanese position were shot and fell down. At the same time, four light machine guns also roared, knocking down several Japanese soldiers. The rest of the Japanese soldiers shouted in horror, "The Chinese army has attacked!" and then hid behind sandbags and did not dare to show their heads.

Zhang could see that the time had come to attack, and he waved his shell and shouted, "Assault man rush with me!" and took the lead in rushing forward. The entrance of the alley is dozens of meters away from the Japanese position, and under Zhang Ke's full charge, the Japanese army has not yet reacted, and Zhang Ke has rushed to the sandbag fortification with more than ten soldiers. Under the strafing fire of more than a dozen rushes, front planes and barge machines, the Japanese troops behind the sandbags were quickly killed.

Zhang Ke didn't have time to let people clean up the battlefield, and came to the closed gate. The gunfire at the gate of the courtyard had already alarmed the Japanese soldiers in the courtyard, and Zhang Ke could hear the shouting of the Japanese soldiers in the courtyard through the gate. Zhang Ke tried to push the door, but the gate was already on top from the inside, and he couldn't push it at all. At this time, Zhang Ke collected more than ten grenades and bullets and tied them with cloth tape and put them under the root of the gate.

After a loud bang, the wooden gate fell in pieces, and Zhang Kegang was about to lead people to rush into the courtyard, when there was a machine gun sound in the courtyard. Bullets screamed and flew towards the gate, and the blue bricks that hit the door were dusty. The width of the gate was limited, and the two machine guns in the courtyard sealed the gate tightly, and Zhang Ke did not dare to show his head at all.

Zhang could see that the gate was blocked, and immediately turned to a soldier behind him and said: "Go and pass my order, let the sharpshooters find a suitable position, and kill the machine gunners in the yard!" The soldier quickly turned around and ran back, and not long after, a few crisp gunshots were heard not far away, and then after a few screams in the courtyard, the machine gun stopped.

As soon as Zhang Ke saw the opportunity, he hurriedly asked several soldiers to throw two rounds of grenades and bullets into the courtyard with him, and in the smoke and dust from the grenades and bombs, Zhang Ke took the lead and rushed into the gate. The courtyard was filled with gunsmoke, and the figures of the Japanese soldiers could be vaguely seen running in a panic. At this time, there was no need for Zhang Ke to give any more orders, and the soldiers who rushed into the courtyard were shooting with their guns in their hands.

There were still some Japanese soldiers in the courtyard who shot back, but Zhang Ke and these soldiers around him were well-trained veterans of a hundred battles, and from the moment they stormed into the courtyard, everyone used their skillful tactical skills to protect themselves while killing the Japanese soldiers. After rushing into the courtyard, until the smoke gradually cleared, Zhang Ke found that this courtyard was really not small, and there were several rows of houses and fortifications in it.

As the light machine gunners and bazooka teams outside the courtyard also rushed into the courtyard, Zhang Ke's forces and firepower were strengthened. Zhang Ke asked several team leaders to lead their own groups to attack the courtyard in depth, and he also took a group and a bazooka group to choose a direction to launch the assault. Gunshots rang out in the courtyard, mixed with the screams of the Japanese soldiers before they died.

The battle lasted for more than an hour before Zhang Ke completely occupied the courtyard, and after clearing out the remnants of the enemy, Zhang Ke could choose a few rooms, smashed the door lock and broke in. As soon as they broke into the room, Zhang Ke and the others immediately showed a surprised expression, and the tall ammunition boxes stacked in front of them and the machine guns mounted on the ammunition boxes indicated that this compound was an arms warehouse of the Japanese army.

Although Zhang Ke and the others did not look down on the weapons of the Japanese army, they still made a great contribution to the capture of this arms warehouse. At this time, Liu Zhuzi said happily: "Company Commander Zhang, we have taken a big advantage this time, I said, how can there be a squadron of Japanese troops stationed in this courtyard, it turned out to be an arms warehouse." Zhang Ke walked out of the room and listened to the gunshots in the city, and made a decision.

Zhang Ke said in a deep voice: "Brothers, we inadvertently captured this munitions warehouse, but after the Japanese army reacted, I was afraid that they would send troops to recapture it. Now our task is to hold this military warehouse, not to let little Japan retake it, and to hold on until reinforcements arrive. The teams are now reporting on casualties and ammunition consumption. ”

With the reports of the team leaders, Zhang Ke's mood also stabilized, in the battle just now, the losses of the troops were not large, only six soldiers were sacrificed, and four were seriously injured and two were slightly injured. However, a lot of ammunition was consumed, and only half of the ammunition in the hands of the fighters was left. Zhang Ke looked at the military warehouse behind him and said to the soldiers: "We are guarding the arsenal, are we still afraid that there will be no ammunition? Go and some soldiers and carry out a few heavy machine guns in the arsenal, * and carry some of them, and we will use the weapons of the little Japanese to beat the little Japanese very much!"

Immediately, half of the soldiers rushed to each room, and Zhang Ke arranged for a group to still be stationed in the fortifications outside the gate, but this time four heavy machine guns were placed in the fortifications outside the gate at once. After arranging the defense, Zhang Ke brought over the two soldiers who were slightly injured. He first took a look at the injuries of the two men, one of whom was shot through his left arm, but it did not hurt his muscles and bones, but only a hole. The other had a bullet cut a blood groove in his left shoulder.

Seeing that the two of them still insisted on fighting after simply bandaging their wounds, Zhang Ke said: "I understand that you can still keep fighting, but I have more important tasks for you to complete." The Japanese army will definitely not be willing to lose this arms depot, and will definitely send troops to loot it. We are too small to hold out for long, and I order you to go and find reinforcements at once. And report the situation here to the superiors. Can it be done?"

After hearing this, the two straightened their chests and said, "Company commander, don't worry, we promise to find reinforcements in the shortest possible time." Zhang Ke nodded and said, "Okay! Whether you can hold this place or not depends on you! There is still a battle outside, you pay attention to safety." After the two saluted Zhang Ke, they turned around and left the courtyard.

Less than half an hour later, the vigilant sentry shouted, "Company commander, little Japan is coming!" With the shouting, machine guns rang out outside the courtyard. It turned out to be the ammunition warehouse of the 3rd Division, which contained weapons and ammunition for replenishment of the 3rd Division. This munitions depot was very important for the 3rd Division. Outside the location of the munitions depot is still a Japanese-controlled area, I didn't expect it to be raided by the Chinese army.

Upon learning of the loss of the munitions depot under the surprise attack of the Chinese army, the division commander, Lieutenant General Mitsuo Yamamoto, was immediately anxious. This arms depot is extremely important and cannot be missed. So he immediately drew a brigade from the gendarmerie and told him to retake the munitions depots. As soon as the gendarmerie arrived not far from the munitions depot, it was discovered by the vigilant sentries.

The commander of the military police brigade, Kawaguchi Yokobei Nakasa, saw that the defenders had spotted his troops and opened fire first, so he stopped his troops and sent a squadron to open the skirmish line and attack under the cover of the night. As a picket unit of the Third Division, the Military Police Brigade is still very combative. Not only are the soldiers veterans, but they are also very well armed.

This gendarmerie brigade is equipped with four Type 92 infantry guns and 12 mortars, and if it were in other positions, the more than 30 people led by Zhang Ke would really not be able to support it for long. Just a burst of artillery fire will cause a lot of casualties. But Zhang Ke and they were guarding the arms warehouse, and Kawaguchi Yokobei was also scruples, unless they didn't want this arsenal, they really didn't dare to bombard it with artillery.

Without the threat of artillery, it was much easier for the soldiers guarding behind the sandbag fortifications to cope with the Japanese attack, plus the narrow streets were not conducive to the formation of the Japanese army, and four heavy machine guns were enough to seal the entire street. Under the blockade of four heavy machine guns, the attacking Japanese troops could not approach within 200 meters of the compound at all.

No matter how good the Japanese marksmanship was in the dark night, it was almost impossible to hit the fighters behind the sandbag bunker from 200 meters away. However, the Chinese heavy machine guns did not need to be accurately aimed, as long as they kept strafing and blocking the streets where the Japanese troops were rushing. In this case, the only weapons that the Japanese could use to cover the attack were heavy machine guns and grenadiers.

However, there were several sharpshooters among the Chinese fighters, and the sniper rifles they used were equipped with scopes, and in the twilight of the night, it was not easy to hit a human body 200 meters away. The disparity in weapons between the two sides caused the Japanese troops to be completely suppressed 200 meters away from the compound, and many dead and wounded were still unable to move forward. This situation made Kawaguchi Yokobei Nakasa also frown.
