The reaction of the Zhepeng people was really very fast. They directly locked the position of Walker and others, and then immediately bombarded them with grenades.
If Walker and the others had taken one step too late, they would probably have been killed or injured by now.
Su Yi and Yixiantian, who were sneaking in the courtyard, naturally saw the grenade whizzing away with its long tail. But at this moment, they couldn't think of worrying about their companions.
After sneaking into the prison guard's living area, the number of Japs suddenly increased.
At this time, nearly four minutes had passed since the first shell exploded. The Japanese, whether working or resting, all reacted and ran to the open space in the courtyard and dispersed.
There were angry curses and angry shouts everywhere.
Su Yi and Yixiantian were hiding in the dark and sneaking around. They saw the group of Japs that had come from the work area shouting something in front of the dormitory building, and then walked around the dormitory building to the back.
Without saying a word, Su Yi quickly walked through the forest with Xixian Tian.
When we arrived at the living area, there was obviously more green plant coverage, especially the many evergreen coniferous pine trees planted here, which provided more convenient cover for Su Yi and Yixiantian's sneaking.
The two of them moved forward quickly, bypassing the dormitory building through the woods, and then continued forward following the noisy sounds.
The group of Japs who came to "rescue" undoubtedly became Su Yi's best guides.
Following the dozen or so officers, Su Yi quickly saw a small building not far away surrounded by a group of Zhe Peng soldiers.
This building is located at the end of the woods. It is quiet and elegant. It is definitely the best house in this prison.
According to the drawings Su Yi obtained before, this place should have been a woodland.
But unexpectedly, a small, elegant-looking building that didn't exist on the drawings rose up here.
Just after a second thought, Su Yi understood what was going on - illegal construction!
This small building that does not exist on the drawings is probably the residence that the warden of this prison secretly built for himself.
As the top officer of the prison, he didn't want to crowd the dormitory with his men, so he simply chose a place surrounded by woods and built a small villa for himself. These days, there shouldn't be too many cases of using power for personal gain.
The group of "guides" were stopped outside the small building by the guarding Zhe Peng soldiers, who were making noisy noises at the door.
"Is Xiyi-san okay?"
"Is the general awake?"
Su Yi judged from the occasional words that Xi Yiyi lived in this small building!
This is really an unsurprising result!
This small building that does not exist on the drawings is definitely an excellent hiding place, safe and hidden from the outside world.
Su Yi looked at the small building not far away, suddenly excited and looking forward to it!
Because he suddenly realized that one of his unintentional choices provided an excellent cover and assistance for today's assassination!
That was his choice to bomb the dormitory building with heartless cannons!
In fact, Su Yi did not deliberately blow up the dormitory building. According to Su Yi's own intention, he actually wanted to blow up the work area of the headquarters, because according to his judgment and common sense, the Japanese communication equipment, power generation
Machines, arsenals and other important facilities and equipment will be set up here in the work area.
But if Su Yi wanted to sneak into the headquarters through the sewer pipe on the Linghe side, he naturally had to choose another direction to bomb in order to divert the Japs' attention.
I chose the side of the dormitory building just because the terrain there is relatively high, the angle at which the explosive packets are thrown is better, and the most important thing is that there is a tailwind.
But now, Su Yi suddenly discovered that both of his "accurate" cannons landed on the dormitory building. Maybe this would give the enemy an illusion.
Why were the explosions so accurate? Both bombs were aimed at the dormitory building.
The enemy will definitely not think this is a coincidence. They will think that the target of the sneak attacker is the dormitory building, and his purpose is to blow up the sleeping officers in the headquarters.
They would think that the snipers had obtained the headquarters' map through some channel, so they targeted the dormitory building and carried out precise bombing in the dead of night.
Once they have such a judgment, they will directly eliminate the option that the sneak attacker knows the "internal structure of the headquarters". Otherwise, the sneak attacker should bomb the most valuable small building, because the one in the middle
The supreme commander and commander of the 8th Division Nishi Yiichi lives here!
The Japs would think that the attacker did not know that Nishi Yiichi lived here, or even knew of the existence of this small building, and thus judged that the attacker could only carry out long-range attacks outside the headquarters and would never appear inside the headquarters.
The Japanese will never let go of the attackers, and they will definitely send troops to hunt down the attackers.
But the troops of the Eighth Division are basically on the front line. The reason why they set up their headquarters here is because they feel that this is the rear area and it is very safe.
Therefore, only one guard regiment is retained here.
In addition to the reconnaissance battalions and patrol teams scattered around the perimeter, this guard group also detached 300 people to guard Beipiao County.
There are only four to five hundred troops left in the headquarters.
There are a total of twelve sentries on the four high walls, and each sentry must be equipped with at least one standard combat team. In this way, the sentry on the high wall alone requires about 120 people.
Each of the two gates at the front and back is stationed with a company, and another two hundred people are removed.
The remaining one or two hundred people are the troops on duty at various posts within the headquarters, as well as the rotating troops.
If the Japanese sent people to chase the attackers, how many people should they send out?
At least one company must be sent out.
Who will they deploy to pursue them?
The first choice must be soldiers who are on rotational leave. If there are not enough people, priority will be given to soldiers who are on duty in the compound and are in non-important positions.
But they will definitely not mobilize the sentries on the high wall and the troops guarding the two gates, because the enemy comes from outside, and these troops must be prepared for attacks from outside at any time!
Because they had made a misjudgment before, they would boldly mobilize the guards in the hospital to chase the attackers.
In this way, the happiest person will be Su Yi!
There were so many Zhe Peng soldiers guarding the yard, which made Su Yi very fearful and headache.
But if his conjecture is correct, then the pressure Su Yi faces will be greatly reduced, and his chance of success in assassinating Nishi Yiichi will also be greatly increased.
The small building in front of me was surrounded by soldiers with guns, as well as officers who came to "escort" them.
Su Yi, who originally planned to fight quickly, suddenly changed his mind.
He decided to wait and see what happened.
Making this decision is undoubtedly a risk, because even though Su Yi and Yixian Tian are careful enough, they will inevitably leave traces. These traces are likely to be discovered by the Zhepeng people.
Once discovered, the Zhepeng people will definitely seal off the entire headquarters and then launch a blanket search. No matter how powerful Su Yi and Yixian Tian are, they may not be able to escape.
In other words, if Su Yi stayed in the headquarters for a second longer, he would be in greater danger of being exposed.
Although he had to take such a huge risk, Su Yi decided to wait patiently. He believed in his own judgment!
At the same time, in the small building opposite Su Yi.
Nishi Yiichi, who was still wearing pajamas, frowned and was listening to a report from his subordinates on the attack on the headquarters.
"The first explosive fell into a room on the second floor of the dormitory building. The explosion caused four staff officers in the room to be shattered on the spot. In addition, the explosion also caused a partial wall collapse, and at least 13 officers were trapped in the collapsed
In the room, life and death are currently unknown.”
"The second explosive fell on the corridor on the third floor of the dormitory building. The explosion time was about three minutes apart from the first one. At this time, the officers were awakened and had already evacuated from the dormitory building to the yard, so the second explosion
The explosion only caused a nearby officer to be affected and suffered minor injuries."
"The damage caused by the two explosions is as above, and there are no other casualties or losses."
"The explosives were fired from the slope to the north. During the second launch, the fire exposed the gangsters' traces. Private Umekawauchi, who was on duty at the North No. 2 post box, immediately counterattacked with a howitzer after locking the target.
After a round of counterattacks, the enemy stopped moving."
"Currently, the security regiment has sent a reconnaissance team to investigate the explosive launch site. The specific situation has not been reported back yet. The above is the detailed process of the entire incident, Nishi Yi-san!"
Xi Yiyi said coldly: "Two explosives suspected of being explosives were fired from the same direction, instead of artillery shells. What does this mean?"
The subordinate said: "It means they have mastered a device unknown to us that can launch explosive packets."
"Idiot!" Nishi Yiichi scolded mercilessly, "This shows that the number of attackers was small and they did not have heavy weapons, so they used some trick."
"Hey! It's me who is stupid, Xi Yisang!" his subordinates hurriedly said respectfully.
Xi Yiyi narrowed his eyes slightly and continued: "The attackers accurately targeted the dormitory building during the two bombings. Their target was very clear and they had mastered the terrain information here in advance. This was definitely a premeditated attack. But if it was
Premeditated actions, there are some contradictions in it, do you know what they are?
The subordinate thought for a while and said cautiously: "They should blow up the computer room and communications department. They just killed a few staff officers and it won't affect anything."
"Idiot! The most valuable person in this headquarters is me! Shouldn't they target me first?" Xi Yiyi said angrily, "Blowing up the computer room and communication equipment will only cause us a little damage at most.
It's troublesome, because we have backup equipment, and anyone who is not a fool would not think of this."
"Killing a few combat staff officers, as you said, has nothing to do with the overall situation. Only by killing me can it be possible to change the outcome of this war." Nishiyi said coldly, "At least, it will completely change the situation in the middle.
The ground changed. But they didn't do that. They didn't mean to bomb this small building to kill me. Why?"
"Because they are afraid of Xi Yisang and dare not attack you!" the subordinate said.
"Idiot! Big idiot!" Xi Yi yelled angrily, "This shows that they don't know where I am! They don't even know the existence of this small building!"
"That is to say, their intelligence is not that accurate and thorough, otherwise, they should bomb this place!"
Having said this, Xi Yiyi smiled coldly: "Their plan stops here. These are just some ground rats in the sewers. They only dare to hide in the dark and dirty sewers and steal some food when the master is not paying attention.
Bite something. Being able to accurately locate the dormitory building and carry out precision bombing is the limit of what they can do. They even only have two chances to project explosives. Once our Yellow Army fights back, they will immediately seem to have seen it.
He ran away in a panic like a cat, not daring to make any counterattack."
The subordinate hurriedly said: "Maybe they died in the counterattack just now."
"It's not impossible." Xiyi nodded.
At this moment, a guard came in and reported that the soldiers who were out on a reconnaissance mission had reported back with news.
Xiyi waved his hand to let the person reporting in.
"General, we found traces left by the attackers on the northern slope. We found a gasoline barrel half buried in the ground. According to our guess, this is the device they used to launch explosive packages."
"Gasoline barrels..." Xi Yiyi smiled disdainfully, "This further supports my speculation that they are just a group of self-righteous thieves!"
"Yes, they are not worth mentioning!" his subordinates agreed.
"But these thieves have caused casualties to us!" Nishiyi said solemnly, "It takes at least three years to train a qualified combat staff. How much manpower, material and financial resources will be consumed? These damn people
The rats must pay for the losses they caused to the empire!"
"Xi Yisang, please give me your orders!" his subordinate said hurriedly.
"Before dawn tomorrow, I want to see the bodies of these bold thieves hanging on the city walls of Beipiao!" Xiyi glanced with murderous intent, "Also, any person or organization that dares to provide them with intelligence will also be killed.
You have to pay a price for this! The warriors of the empire must not sacrifice in vain, and the blood debt must be repaid with blood!"
"Hi!"
His subordinates shouted loudly, and after a pause, he continued: "The officers are very concerned about your safety, Xi Yisang. After the explosion, the officers from the staff rushed over. Now they are all gathered outside the door, wanting to see it in person.
They will feel relieved when they see that you are safe and sound."
Xi Yiyi couldn't help but have a smile on his face: "Since they are all here, let's just advance the regular staff meeting tomorrow morning. Invite them all to come in. I will hold today's staff meeting in the living room on the first floor.
"
"Hi!"
The men took the order and left.
After a while, the officers outside the door filed in and greeted Xiyi, needless to say.
On the other side, when his subordinates came out, they immediately put on a capable look and gave orders in an orderly manner, arranging troops to pursue the attackers.
Just as Su Yi expected, in addition to the soldiers who were on rotation, he redeployed all the soldiers from some less important positions in the courtyard, and the guard force of the entire courtyard suddenly became lax.
