The first thousand one hundred and seventy-ninth chapters are in a desperate situation
"Bang bang bang..."
It was still dark, and the dull sound of gunfire on the street outside became louder and louder, getting closer and closer to the Japanese headquarters in Baoying County.
The gunfire was like a reminder, making the Japanese staff in the Japanese headquarters like ants on a hot pot, extremely nervous.
The Japanese communications staff member, who looked flustered, stood directly next to the radio station, constantly urging the telegraph operator to send out telegrams asking for help.
The explosion of the shells was like a giant beast about to emerge from the ground. The ground trembled with every roar, as if it was about to burst out of the earth at any time.
The lamp hanging on the roof swayed with the violent tremors. The Japanese detachment leader Touichi Watanabe sat in front of the map with his saber in both hands and closed his eyes and fell asleep. Although he seemed calmer than the staff, there was a wave of excitement in his heart.
The Japanese detachment leader Watanabe Shouichi was transferred from the frontal battlefield to the battlefield behind enemy lines. In fact, he was extremely reluctant to come to the occupied areas to conduct so-called security operations.
He was promoted from Major to Colonel in just two years, all based on his solid military exploits.
With his bravery, as long as he is willing to fight a few more battles on the frontal battlefield, he may be able to achieve the rank of major general, and his superiors are also very optimistic about him.
However, when he went to the occupied areas to conduct so-called security operations, his superiors still promised that as long as he eliminated the guerrillas and the Chinese regular army in the occupied areas and accumulated military merit, he would be promoted to major general.
However, Watanabe Shouichi, the leader of the Japanese detachment, knew very well that once the guerrillas behind enemy lines were cleared, even if he was promoted to major general, his military career would probably end with that of a major general.
Very reluctantly.
However, in the face of the command from the headquarters, even though he was unwilling to do so, he still had to come here and serve as the detachment leader, responsible for eradicating the guerrillas.
He also wanted to find an opportunity to return to the frontal battlefield after wiping out the guerrillas. Who knew that today he would be in a desperate situation of life and death.
In order to eliminate the guerrillas as quickly as possible, he sent most of his troops to the countryside for a clean-up campaign. Only an infantry squadron and a small number of traitor plainclothes teams were left in Baoying City.
But who knew that the main force of the Northern Jiangsu guerrillas would actually appear outside Baoying City, which caught him off guard.
Despite the initial panic, Japanese detachment leader Watanabe Shouichi quickly calmed down.
It is said that it takes no effort to find anything after breaking through the iron shoes. They searched everywhere to encircle and suppress the main force of the Northern Jiangsu guerrillas, and now the Northern Jiangsu Guerrilla Corps took the initiative to send them to their door.
Therefore, Japanese detachment leader Watanabe Shouichi decided to use his own tactics and use himself as bait, hoping to stick to the Northern Jiangsu Guerrilla Corps, and then order the troops who went to the countryside to immediately return to support and launch a counter-encirclement against the Northern Jiangsu Guerrilla Corps.
Then catch them all in one go.
Unfortunately, the plan could not keep up with the changes. They tried to rely on the city barricades to block the Northern Jiangsu Guerrilla Corps and let the main force return to support Baoying. The plan to counter-encircle the Northern Jiangsu Guerrilla Corps now faced this fatal threat.
He lowered the combat effectiveness of the Northern Jiangsu Guerrilla Corps. He thought that with the cooperation of an infantry squadron and a traitor plainclothes team, it would be enough to hold on for a whole night.
However, there is still no sign of the returning troops, but the Northern Jiangsu Guerrilla Corps has already attacked near his headquarters.
If the returning troops cannot rush back in time, then his counter-siege plan using himself as bait will not only go bankrupt, but he will also have to involve himself.
Do you really want to be here this time?
The Japanese detachment leader Watanabe Shouichi kept questioning himself in his heart. He was full of extreme unwillingness. He had already cursed the captains who had reluctantly returned to help countless times.
If they could have responded in time, the situation would not have deteriorated to the current state, and their lives would not have been threatened.
The Japanese detachment leader Watanabe Shouichi was very unhappy, but he couldn't show it.
At this moment, he is the commander in the city, and he must remain calm and composed. Once he panics, the remaining garrison troops may not be able to withstand the guerrilla attack.
Although the gunfire was rumbling outside, the inside of the Japanese headquarters seemed extremely quiet, which was in sharp contrast to the outside.
Now the Japanese detachment leader Hisashi Watanabe was betting that the returning troops would come back before the guerrillas broke through their defenses, otherwise he would be killed in action.
If the returning troops can come back in time, they can encircle the guerrillas and win a huge victory. Otherwise, they will be doomed.
War is inherently a gamble with huge risks. Not only the Japanese detachment leader Watanabe Shouichi is gambling, but also Yang Ling of the Northern Jiangsu Guerrilla Corps is gambling.
"Report, we only have the last line of defense left, sirs, please break out immediately!"
When the Japs detachment leader Watanabe Shouichi and the staff were feeling uneasy, a Japs second lieutenant covered in blood rushed in, breaking the dullness in the headquarters.
Their last line of defense is located on the street in front of the county government, which means that as long as this line of defense is lost, the headquarters will be directly exposed to the guns of the guerrillas.
"Your Excellency, detachment leader, break out of the encirclement. The reinforcements will not be able to come back."
Knowing that the situation had reached an extremely critical moment, the combat staff officer couldn't bear it anymore and hurriedly turned his attention to the detachment leader Juichi Watanabe who was sitting there.
"Your Excellency, detachment leader, we will cover you and fight your way out." The Japanese staff officers all pulled out their southern pistols and prepared to join the battle themselves.
All the Japs in the room turned their attention to the detachment leader Watanabe Shouichi. Watanabe Shouichi slowly opened his eyes, looked at the officers who were preparing to fight to the death, and asked slowly: "Where are the reinforcements?"
The Japs' communications staff member was stunned and immediately replied: "The Tanichuan brigade closest to us has just passed Shuiquan Village in ten minutes, and it only takes an hour to reach Baoying."
"Then please hold on for one more hour." Watanabe Shouichi, the leader of the Japanese detachment, looked around with pleading.
The leader of the Japanese detachment ordered: "Let all the orderlies and heavy troops go up."
"It was moved up an hour ago, and now we are the only staff members in the headquarters." A Japanese staff officer reminded.
The Japanese detachment leader Watanabe Shouichi stood up, pulled out his gun and said, "Then fight with me." After saying that, he walked out of the house.
The Japanese combat staff hurriedly stopped the detachment leader Watanabe Shouichi: "Your Excellency, detachment leader, it is dangerous outside, you should stay here and command the battle."
"Follow me and resist the Chinese army!"
After the Japs' combat staff finished speaking, he opened the safety of the Nanfang pistol in his hand, waved his hand, and rushed out of the room with his staff in a murderous manner, preparing for the final desperate fight.
