Let’s talk about the trigger of this melee - Zhengding Railway Station.
Like a big gecko, Pang Hu climbed up to the rear of the special train by clinging to the bottom of the car with his hands and feet. He first threw out two smoke bombs, then took advantage of the smoke cover to explode the rear door of the special train and rushed into Car No. 2 to guard the Zhengding train.
More than a hundred Japanese soldiers at the station immediately swarmed over and surrounded the entire two carriages of the special train.
Sasaki's special train was reinforced with armor and the windows were completely sealed, so as long as Pang Hu guarded the front and rear doors of the carriage, his life would not be in danger for the time being. However, Pang Hu also knew very well that now he was
There is a turtle in the urn. When the bullets are gone and the concealed weapons are used up, the only choice is to fight with the little devil.
When it comes to that, Pang Hu can only kill one person and count them all.
Just when Pang Hu thought he was going to die, fierce gunfire suddenly rang out outside the station.
Hearing the gunshot, Pang Hu suddenly became energetic. This was not the sound of a kid's crooked handle or the sound of a three-eight lid, nor was it a tortoise box, but the sound of a German-made noodle box that Pang Hu was extremely familiar with.
And there are quite a lot of them! Obviously, it was the special forces members of Pang Hu's team who heard the sound and rushed to meet their captain.
…………
Zhengding Railway Station, station administration building.
Sasaki, who was still in shock, was shaking the phone in the stationmaster's office. On the floor not far from him, Captain Toshio Ozawa, the stationmaster of Zhengding Railway Station, was lying on the floor. One of the two grenades thrown by Pang Hu just hit it.
When Sasaki went to the VIP room where he was resting, another bomb hit the stationmaster's room, directly blowing Captain Ozawa's soul back to Toyo Island.
"Hey! Hey, hey, hey!" Sasaki shook the crank twice vigorously, then leaned into the microphone and yelled.
"Hello, where do you want to pick up the phone?" A soft female voice sounded from the phone, speaking serious Japanese.
"Baoding, pick me up at Baoding Railway Station immediately..." Before Sasaki could finish his words, the lights in the stationmaster's office suddenly went out, and there was suddenly no sound from the microphone.
Almost at the same time, all the lights in the Zhengding train suddenly went out, and the whole world suddenly became pitch black, making it impossible to see even one's fingers.
"Hey, hey, hey?" Sasaki shouted several times in a hurry, but there was still no response.
"Bagayaru!" Sasaki threw the microphone heavily on the table and said angrily, "What's going on?"
A Japanese officer next to him replied: "General, it must be the assassin's accomplices who cut the telephone and cable lines!"
Sasaki Chuichi's expression suddenly changed. As a well-informed old Japanese who has experienced hundreds of battles, Sasaki Chuichi's sense of smell is still very sensitive. He has already smelled out the seemingly accidental assassination just now.
The most important thing now is to notify Baoding Railway Station and stop the two special trains that are about to go south!
Otherwise, once these two special trains enter Zhengding, the consequences will be disastrous!
You know, each of these two special trains towed a full 100 wagons, and each wagon carried no less than 50 tons of ammunition. The two special trains added up to 200 wagons and a total of 10,000 tons of ammunition!
If so much ammunition is accidentally hit and exploded by this group of assassins, then the four major military groups on the Wuhan front line will resort to an empty city strategy!
At this time, Sasaki had not yet thought that the arms of these two special trains might fall into the hands of the Chinese.
"You!" Sasaki reached out and pointed at the Japanese second lieutenant and said sternly, "Go to the headquarters of the 4th Independent Mixed Brigade now and call Baoding Railway Station immediately and ask them to immediately stop the munitions train that is about to go south!"
"Hai." The Japanese second lieutenant lowered his head suddenly, turned around and ran away.
It was only then that Sasaki was in the mood to pay attention to the assassination incident just now.
Amidst the rapid footsteps, Colonel Kasai Yonezo, the head of the Shimen Secret Service, had strode in. Several agents following him were holding flashlights. By the reflection of the flashlight on the wall, Colonel Kasai Yonezo discovered that Sasaki had arrived.
His expression was very ugly. He took two steps forward, suddenly put his feet back and stood at attention and said: "General, I have frightened you."
Sasaki waved his hand and said, "How is Kawamura-kun doing?"
Kasai Yonezo said: "General Kawamura has been sent to the hospital. His life should not be in danger."
Sasaki snorted from his nostrils and asked coldly: "Kasai-kun, what is going on? How did you become the head of the Shimen Secret Service? How did you manage the security of Zhengding County and the train station?
Arranged to actually let assassins sneak into the station building?"
"Hai." Kasai Mizo suddenly lowered his head and said, "General, the assassin is now trapped in the No. 2 carriage of the special train. He has no wings to fly!"
Sasaki asked: "What's going on with the gunshots outside the station?"
Kasai Yonezo said: "Those are the assassin's accomplices, but there are only a few dozen of them, so there is nothing to worry about."
As soon as he finished speaking, the gunshots outside the station building suddenly became more intense. Indistinctly, the gunfire seemed to be approaching rapidly in the direction of the station building. Just when Sasaki Yuichi and Kasai Yonezo were in shock,
Taro Katagiri, the president of the Shimen New People's Association, had already rushed in out of breath. He immediately put his feet back and stood at attention and said: "General, Colonel, this group of assassins is too powerful. Our people and the station garrison can no longer withstand it!"
"What!?" Sasaki's face changed slightly when he heard this.
"Bagagaru!" Kasai Yonezo was furious. He slapped Taro Katagiri twice and cursed, "You're a piece of trash. A garrison squadron and more than 20 elite agents can't deal with just a mere person."
Twenty or thirty assassins?”
"Hai." Taro Katagiri was beaten, but he didn't dare to make any excuses. He immediately said, "Your Excellency, Colonel, this group of assassins are very skilled, and their marksmanship is extremely accurate. They are very difficult to deal with."
Kasai Yonezo was furious, and when he pulled out the tortoise box and was about to rush out, he was stopped by Sasaki Toichi.
Sasaki reached out to grab Kasai Mizo and said in a deep voice: "If I guessed correctly, this group of people is definitely not an ordinary assassin. They should be special operations elites trained by Yue Weihan. They were in Ju County, southern Shandong.
This special force team sneaked into the division headquarters of the 5th Division without anyone noticing..."
Kasai Yonezo and Katagiri Taro's expressions changed drastically when they heard this.
"Order!" Sasaki shouted immediately, "Everyone retreat to the station building!"
If it is really the notorious special force that comes, then the garrison squadron of Zhengding Railway Station and dozens of people from Kasai Yonezo and Katagiri Taro are no match at all. The only option for now is to retreat to the station building and defend. As long as
After ten minutes, the main force of the independent mixed 4th Brigade stationed at the military camp in the north of the city will arrive for reinforcements.
…………
In the north of Zhengding City, the headquarters of the independent mixed 4th Brigade.
As soon as he heard the gunfire, Colonel Hyakutake Haruyoshi, the chief of staff of the independent 4th independent mixed brigade who stayed behind at the headquarters, issued an emergency assembly order. Although the combat effectiveness of these dozen newly formed mixed brigades by the Japanese army was very average,
, but the foundation of military training is still good. In less than ten minutes, the three infantry brigades remaining at the headquarters have been assembled!
The organization of the dozen or so newly formed mixed brigades of the Japanese army is different. Depending on the size of the garrison area, the number of infantry brigades ranges from 5 to 7. For example, the Segawa Brigade has 7 infantry brigades, while
The Kawamura Brigade (the 4th independent mixed brigade) only has 5 infantry brigades, but the organization of the rest of the directly affiliated units is the same.
The Kawamura Brigade originally had 5 infantry brigades. However, since most of the Segawa Brigade was wiped out and the remaining 2nd Infantry Brigade was stationed in more than a dozen counties, the defense in Shimen City was quite empty. Therefore, the North China Front Army
The headquarters transferred two infantry brigades from the Kawamura Brigade to strengthen Shimen's defense.
The troops have been assembled. Colonel Hyakutake Haruyoshi put on his military cap and was about to turn around and walk out of the office when the phone on his desk rang rapidly. Colonel Hyakutake Haruyoshi frowned and had to go back to the desk to get it.
I picked up the phone and it was from Shimen Airport, saying that they were attacked by unknown armed forces!
Hyakutake Harukichi immediately agreed to dispatch a brigade to reinforce Shimen Airport, and then put down the phone.
Just as he put down the phone, before Hyakutake Haruyoshi could take a step, the phone rang again. Colonel Hyakutake Haruyoshi's eyebrows suddenly furrowed, and he patiently picked up the phone again. This time it was a call from the Shimen Consulate.
Yes, it was said that they were also attacked by unknown armed forces and requested emergency rescue.
Two black lines suddenly appeared on Colonel Hyakutake Harukichi's forehead.
Without waiting for Colonel Hyakutake Haruyoshi to reply, several major staff officers from the brigade staff had already arrived, bringing heart-stopping news one by one: Shimen Municipal Office was attacked! Shimen Army Secret Service was attacked! South of the city
The large yarn mill was attacked! The coking plant in the west of the city was attacked!
At the same time, all four city gates in Zhengding County were attacked by unknown armed men, and the east gate and south gate were even shelled!
At that moment, Colonel Hyakutake Haruyoshi threw away the microphone in his hand and strode towards the war room.
In the war room, seven or eight combat staff officers were busy nervously, constantly placing small red and blue flags on the simulated sand table. By the time Colonel Hyakutake Haruyoshi entered the war room, the sand table was already full of flags.
There are at least twenty or thirty small blue flags representing the Chinese army!
Judging from the sand table, dozens of military, political, and corporate institutions in Zhengding County and Shimen City have all been attacked. There are gunshots and fighting everywhere. The entire Shimen and Zhengding County have been turned into a pot of porridge!
But until now, Colonel Hyakutake Harukichi doesn't know what happened. He doesn't even know what kind of armed forces attacked Zhengding County and Shimen City. Bandits? Kaidomen armed forces? Or stragglers from the Chinese government forces?
I took my wife and son on the bus for a day, and I was exhausted. I coded this chapter on my laptop after I got home. That’s it for today. Let’s just make do with it. We’ll see what happens tomorrow, and we’ll be able to resume normal updates the day after tomorrow. However,
I will make up for the chapter I owed yesterday and the chapter I owe today.
