Let's call it a county seat, and it is larger than an average county seat. After all, it is an important node on the railway.
Let’s just say it’s not a county town, nor is it a big city.
For Lieutenant Colonel Yoshimoto, the biggest trouble is the prisoner camp or labor camp in the city.
The Japanese invaders would charge all the young adults they captured with "anti-Japanese elements" and then gather them here. Because this place is adjacent to Taiyuan, the Japanese army in Taiyuan would often send the captured young adults here to be imprisoned. The Japanese army was here
There is a reason why an independent mixed brigade is stationed here. Taking care of these workers is one of the reasons.
The laborers were gathered in Shouyin City, and then transported by train to Northeast China, North Korea, Southeast Asia and other places to be used as free slaves.
Right now, it is the peak period of the labor camp, with a total of 1,800 workers concentrated. After a while, they will be sent away. Obviously, the purpose of the Tubal guerrillas is to rescue these workers.
It is very likely that there are important backbones of Tubal Road hidden inside!
Otherwise, Tubal Road would not be so adventurous!
idiot!
This made Lieutenant Colonel Yoshimoto very uncomfortable.
An important county town was unexpectedly attacked by dozens of Tubal guerrillas, and it felt like it was in an uninhabited country.
It’s so abominable!
At the same time, I also breathed a sigh of relief quietly.
It turns out that the purpose of Tubal Road is just to rescue workers, not to occupy Shouyin City...
"Report!"
"Tubal Road was discovered outside the city!"
What are you really afraid of? Tubalu will come as soon as you say.
Lieutenant Colonel Yoshimoto hurriedly walked to the top of the city. Sure enough, he saw a large number of people coming outside the city.
The quantity is very large.
It felt like there were at least three thousand people.
No!
Possibly more!
They rushed towards Shouyin City like a tide.
They all wore regular military uniforms and had heavy weapons.
Not only are there a large number of light machine guns, heavy machine guns, but also mortars, field artillery...
Ah, field artillery!
Lieutenant Colonel Yoshimoto suddenly felt excited all over.
Deadly!
There is actually a field artillery on Tubal Road!
Moreover, it seems that there is more than one door. There are at least five doors...
wrong!
It’s at least ten doors!
ah……
Lieutenant Colonel Yoshimoto broke into a cold sweat.
OMG!
There are so many field guns on Tubal Road!
Wouldn’t this cost Shouyin City its life? How could it be possible to block Shouyin City’s level of fortifications?
Report to superiors in a hurry.
His superior is the leader of the Sixth Independent Mixed Brigade, Hyakutake Haruyoshi.
"Requesting urgent tactical guidance!"
"Requesting urgent tactical guidance!"
Lieutenant Colonel Yoshimoto frantically sent out a distress signal.
After receiving the report, Hyakutake Harukichi could only smile bitterly.
He felt like a monkey being tricked around by Tubal.
Tuba Road besieged Shuiquan Railway Station and succeeded.
Tubal Road besieged Jingxing Coal Mine and succeeded.
Tubal Road is now about to capture Shouyin City again.
What are the Japanese troops busy with?
They are all busy running around and dying everywhere.
The Jingxing Coal Mine was a mess, with corpses of Japanese soldiers everywhere.
The firepower on Tubal Road was so exaggerated. Some of the corpses of Japanese invaders had hundreds of bullets in them. They seemed to be "bullet men".
Everything in the coal mine was destroyed. His arrival with reinforcements had no meaning. At most, it was just to collect the corpses.
have no choice.
I had no choice but to report the situation truthfully.
As a result, Taiyuan was silent. Peiping was silent. Nanjing was silent. There was no call back for a long time.
Then I received the news that Shouyin City was under attack.
What can Hyakutake Haruyoshi do?
It can only be served cold.
"You must defend Shouyin City for three days!"
"Reinforcements will arrive in three days!"
Hyakutake Harukichi called back.
Even he felt that he was deceiving himself.
With Tubal Road's current fighting strength, how could Shouyin City hold on for three days? It's a day in jeopardy!
Don’t forget, there are field artillery on Tubal Road!
When the field artillery was set up and fired against the city wall, Shouyin City simply could not bear it.
But what can he do?
You can only deceive your subordinates.
I hope my subordinates are fools and really believe that reinforcements will arrive in three days.
"Nani?"
"Three days?"
Lieutenant Colonel Yoshimoto was immediately dumbfounded.
At the same time, I was deeply humiliated by trying to regain my IQ.
Hold on for three days?
How can it be?
It feels like three hours is impossible!
Others on Tubal Road even brought up field artillery!
What's more, there are still guerrillas from Tubal Road in the city...
Ruined……
Ruined……
Lieutenant Colonel Yoshimoto was completely disappointed.
But we can only order the soldiers to resist desperately. How long can they hold on?
"boom!"
"boom!"
The artillery bombardment began on Tubal Road.
First came the mortars. Then came the field artillery.
All kinds of artillery launched fierce bombardments against the fortifications of Shouyin City.
The first one to go into battle was the 120mm mortar.
Soldiers like to use this big guy very much. Even the transportation process is very hard.
Every inch is bigger, every inch is stronger.
A mortar with a caliber of 120 mm is definitely much larger than a mortar with a caliber of 81 mm.
"boom!"
When a 120mm artillery shell hit, a large crater immediately exploded in the ground.
The depth exceeds one meter. The width and diameter exceed five meters. All creatures within a radius of ten meters will be killed. Japanese invaders within thirty meters are likely to be killed. Used to bomb the fortifications of Japanese invaders, or on board
The charge is simply perfect.
The only flaw is that the quantity is too small.
There is only one door!
If there are hundreds or dozens of doors...
"Boom boom boom..."
"Boom boom boom..."
Heavy shells fell.
More 81mm mortars opened fire.
The Japanese invaders focused their attention outside the city and had no time to pay attention. They completely gave up inside the city.
What?
Are there still puppet troops and plainclothes traitors in the city?
Haha, these people...
The only hope of the Japanese army now is that these people surrender obediently and do not turn their guns around to attack the Japanese.
In fact it is.
Upon discovering the arrival of a large force of the Eighth Route Army, the puppet troops were already frightened.
They almost unanimously threw away their weapons and ammunition, then took off their clothes and hid in ordinary people's homes, pretending to be ordinary people. Those traitors and plainclothes also found places to hide. How could they have the guts to fight the Eighth Route Army?
The Eighth Route Army is everywhere in the mountains and plains outside. There are estimated to be tens of thousands of people. But there are only a few hundred Japanese troops defending the city. How can they be the opponents of Tubal Road? Their only luxury now is to save their own lives!
"Da da da!"
"Da da da!"
In the city, Zhang Chu and his team were making good progress.
They successfully eliminated the remaining Japanese military police and released all the imprisoned people.
There are only a very small number of real anti-Japanese elements. Most of them are innocent people. They are young and middle-aged people who were arrested by the Japanese invaders in the name of anti-Japanese elements. They are all unarmed and suffered disasters for no reason.
"Secretary Han!"
"Secretary Han!"
Ma Xiaowu quickly searched among the crowd.
He quickly found the person he was looking for. He was Secretary Han of the underground working committee. His name was Han Xiu.
Han Xiu's identity in the labor camp was not exposed. Otherwise, he would definitely not be alive until now. For real anti-Japanese elements, the Japanese invaders have only one way to deal with them, which is to kill them. No one can survive.
Sad.
They came a little too late.
Prior to this, many anti-Japanese people arrested during the raids had been killed.
Among them, there were quite a few lesbians. They were all lesbians from local women's rescue associations or working groups. They were similar to characters like Liu Ying or Yang Xiuqin. Unfortunately, they died due to lack of transfer or sudden accidents.
Under the butcher's knife of the Japanese invaders.
The angry soldiers stabbed the corpses of the Japanese military police one after another.
Damn beast!
Beasts without humanity! The crimes are so heinous that it’s too many to describe!
"Ma Xiaowu?"
"Yes! Secretary Han, it's me! Section Chief Han asked me to rescue you!"
"Okay! Let's go!"
Han Xiu responded quickly.
This is also standard operation.
Once a person is rescued, he must leave quickly.
Otherwise, once the Japanese invaders catch up, things will be in trouble. Leaving the city is the most difficult thing.
However, Ma Xiaowu was not in a hurry.
"Secretary Han, this is Zhang Chu, Staff Officer Zhang."
"Hello, Staff Zhang."
"Hello, Secretary Han!"
"Let's go quickly!"
"No! Secretary Han, organize people, we want to recover Shouyin City."
"What?"
"The main force of the Japanese invaders has withdrawn. Now, the main force of our army has begun to attack the city. We should cooperate internally and externally to capture Shouyin City."
"this……"
Han Xiu was about to speak but stopped.
He needs some time to digest so much information.
Capture Shouyin City?
is it possible?
"boom……"
"boom……"
Hear the rumble of cannons in the distance.
It seems like a cannon is bombing? Look up. You can also see groups of fire bursting out.
Confuse……
"This is our artillery!"
"We also have cannons."
Zhang Chu said calmly.
Attacking Shouyin City is not difficult at all.
If it weren't for the need to rescue the imprisoned workers in the city, he would not need to enter the city at all.
Just set up field artillery outside the city and blast it against the city wall, and the Japanese invaders would be finished.
But now that you're in, let's rush in and fight!
Try to eliminate the Japanese invaders in the shortest possible time and then end the battle!
After all, the attack on Shouyin City was just a sideshow.
