Section 187 Sudden Attack

The gunshot came very suddenly, and although it was not really heard, it immediately exploded like a thunderclap in everyone's ears, making the entire military headquarters quiet in vain.

Huanghua Town, as the military headquarters of the 74th Army, has become the command hub within a radius of 100 miles since the arrival of the 74th Army, and the actions of the 30,000 soldiers of the entire 74th Army are controlled and commanded here.

As a military headquarters, the importance of its safety is not known. In terms of operations, there is a saying that "the thief captures the king first", the higher the level of the command, the higher the requirements for security, such as the 74th Army headquarters is located twenty or thirty miles away from the front line of the battlefield, which is already more risky. But in order to facilitate command and to be able to respond in the shortest possible time, Wang Yaowu was willing to take such a risk. But in terms of secrecy and guards, Huanghua Town is loose inside and tight outside, and within a radius of dozens of miles, there are actually densely packed with sentries and guards.

In such a situation, how can there be gunfire within a radius of several miles?

The officers at all levels, who were originally busy, involuntarily put down the work in their hands at this moment, listened attentively, and a sense of tension suddenly filled the originally busy atmosphere.

Wang Yaowu frowned and shouted at everyone: "Just do your job, you don't need to worry about other things." Seeing that the officers were busy again in his words, Wang Yaowu turned to a captain on the side and said, "Zongfu, you go and see what's going on over there." ”

The man known as Zongfu was a young officer of twenty-seven or eighteen years old, who looked three or four points similar to Wang Yaowu. He is Wang Yaowu's nephew Wang Shi, has been serving as Wang Yaowu's personal guard, and now with Wang Yaowu's rising tide, he has been promoted to the commander of the 74th Army's military guards.

After hearing the order, Wang Shi, who was already a little uncontrollable, immediately hurriedly saluted and rushed out, almost rushing towards the place where the gunshots rang out.

Seeing his reaction and movements, Wang Yaowu couldn't help but shake his head secretly, he will be brave to a soldier, as an officer, no matter when, you must give people a feeling of calmness like a mountain, only in this way will the soldiers under him not panic, and the colleagues next to you can believe you. Just like a stone, whether it is participating in a high-level military meeting or commanding troops to fight, there is no panicked look on his face again, even if it is a severe situation, no matter how critical the moment, he can deal with it calmly, and how big is the stone? Although he can't find out the date of his birth, from the outside, he is twenty-three or four-year-old, a few years younger than Wang Shi, but there is really no possibility for the two to be compared together, because the gap between them is too big. Thinking of this, Wang Yaowu couldn't help but shake his head, how could he think of this kid Shi inexplicably, a person like him, it is difficult to find a second one in the whole army, and it seems too harsh to ask Wang Shi with such a request.

Not to mention that Wang Yaowu thought of many things because of Wang Shi's actions, but after Wang Shi left the military headquarters, he rushed towards the place where the gunshots rang out with two guards, wanting to see what was going on. If it was just the sentry's rifle misfired, it was not suitable in this case, but it was the best situation at the moment, otherwise it would be a big problem.

In the dark night, they ran wildly with torches, and their skin was red under the light of the raging flames. However, before they could run far, a burst of gunfire erupted in vain ahead. This time, unlike the previous single shots, the gunfire was very dense, and although it was not as frightening as the machine-gun fire, it was also one and the other. Listening to this burst of gunshots, Wang Shi couldn't help but be very anxious, there is no doubt that something big happened in front, the soldiers of the guard battalion are all composed of the strongest veterans of the 74th Army, how good is the psychological quality of these people? If the target had not been determined, it would have been impossible to fire so resolutely, but at such a late hour, in such a heartfelt place, how could there be an enemy?

Wang Shi couldn't figure it out, so he had to let a soldier next to him rush back to arrange the defense, and rushed to the front line to see what was going on for himself.

In the darkness ahead, there was a rush of footsteps, listening to this sound, Wang Shi and the guards beside him couldn't help but stop their steps and raised the rifles in their hands.

"Thunder"

"Lightning" Listening to the sound of the shouting and questioning command from the night, Wang Shi couldn't help but secretly breathe a sigh of relief, it seemed that it was his own person. And the person who drank the password before also asked at this time, "Which company is it brother?" Come over and help. ”

"I'm Wang Shi, the commander of the guard battalion, who are you?" Wang Shi replied, and ran forward in a row, in vain he saw the shadow in the night, and his brows couldn't help frowning, and at this time he saw clearly that the oncoming person was still carrying a person on his back, and the situation did not seem to be very good.

"Battalion commander! I am Zhou Zhu, the leader of the third squad of the second company and the first platoon, the devil touched it, and Liu Erjiao, who was with me, was injured, and the brothers in front of me were about to be unable to stand it. Hearing the voice of the battalion commander, the veteran couldn't help but be surprised, and at the same time said anxiously, there are devils who have touched here in the dark night, and this is a big incident.

Even though Wang Shi had some psychological preparations, he was still taken aback when he heard the news, and he asked in surprise: "What's the matter, let's be clear, where are the devils from, how many people are there!" ”

Although the squad leader named Zhou Zhu has no culture, he speaks in a very clear manner, and in just a few words, he can clearly explain what happened before. The guard battalion has a total of three guard companies, one company is responsible for the sentry and mobile guards of the headquarters, and is assigned from the first company like a staff officer who goes to the front line to convey orders and supervise the battle. The second company is responsible for the outlying sentry, and the third company is a garrison combat unit, which is used to protect the security of the military headquarters in case of emergencies and cover the transfer and retreat of the military headquarters. The Second Company sent a large number of soldiers to stand guard outside the town as usual, but it was not long ago that an anomaly had been discovered. The first gunshot sounded when the outermost guard post touched the sharp knife of the devil's sentinel, if it was an ordinary soldier with low vigilance, I am afraid that even if he dropped a few posts, he might not be able to find that a devil touched it. But these elite veterans, who seem to have an instinctive instinct for death, spotted the enemy at the first time and fired a warning shot, but unfortunately, they found it a little too late, and after firing, they were killed by the swarming Japanese troops on the sentry post.

And after they heard the gunfire, they were also ready to fight in the shortest possible time, this burst of gunfire was tight, that is, the sentries everywhere were constantly blocking the Japanese army, slowing down their advance speed, but listening to the gunfire constantly approaching, it was obvious that the situation ahead was not good.

This is obviously normal, after all, the strength of the second company is so much, and it has to be scattered around the town, and each side is twenty or thirty people, and since the Japanese army dares to rush to the hinterland of the national army, it obviously has extremely strong strength, no matter how many troops it is, but it definitely has the strength to crush the guard battalion.

Hearing this, Wang Shi couldn't help but break out in a cold sweat, and the time he had been with his uncle was not short, this was the first time he had encountered such a situation. The devil actually has such a means? Doesn't it mean that there will be no military action after dark? This time there was not only an operation, but such a large-scale operation, which is really amazing.

While letting the guards on the side help this Zhou Zhu carry the wounded to the back for treatment, he ran back to the military headquarters with his legs pulled out and rushed back to the military headquarters, to inform the clan uncle in the shortest possible time. The military headquarters was set up in a rather spacious compound, and when he ran to the door, he saw that inside the fortifications at the mouth of the alley, heavy machine gunners and a group of soldiers were nervously watching around, and the sound of shouting passwords was continuous. He didn't care about these at all, so he rushed in all the way, and at a glance he saw Wang Yaowu standing at the door outside the hall, and he immediately shouted: "Military seat, devils, a large army of devils has appeared outside the town, and they are quickly killing here." ”

Wang Yaowu frowned slightly, and scolded: "What are you panicking about? What can't be said slowly, even if the devil is killed in front of him, he is a soldier and a salaryman, just take a gun and do it with the devil, what are you afraid of? ”

Wang Shi was scolded by him, and he also scolded a lot more soberly, he took a deep breath and said: "Military seat, the devil's actions have been premeditated, the troops are very strong, there is only one guard battalion here in Huanghua Town, and it can't be stopped for long at all, the closest troops from us here are the 16 51st Division and Yong'an's Tiger Regiment away, but these two troops received the news and rushed to come, it will take at least an hour, we can't withstand it for so long, military seat, withdraw immediately, I will take the guard battalion here to drag the devil and cover the evacuation of the commanders." ”

Wang Yaowu listened to his tone, although he trembled a little, but the whole person still looked like he had been asked to fight after the war, and couldn't help but nodded with satisfaction: "You have to be like this, like a qualified officer, and if you have the opportunity in the future, you can go to the Tiger Ben Regiment to learn from the stones, see how others command the troops, and see how he fights with his subordinates. ”

Wang Shi listened to Wang Yaowu say these nonsensical words, and couldn't help but hurriedly say: "The military seat is ......"
