The cold air in Gaoyou City made people shiver, and the crisp sound of gunfire soon became denser. The explosion of grenades and the sweeping flames illuminated the streets and alleys.
The sound of gunshots from afar interrupted the toasts of the traitorous squire and the members of the congregation who were full of people in the room. The atmosphere calmed down for a moment, and the guests in the room suddenly became confused.
These traitors and squires who were afraid of death hurriedly hid behind the door and hid under the table. Their faces were full of panic and fear. The sound of broken wine glasses, bowls and chopsticks and the overturning of tables and chairs were heard together.
Most of these squires and traitors who maintained the association were not soldiers. In the panic, it was naturally difficult to judge the scale and distance of the exchange of fire between the two sides from the sound of gunfire. They just subconsciously avoided to survive.
Qingchuan Shaozuo, the commander of the Japs regular troops in Gaoyou City, also suppressed the smile on his face when he heard the gunshots. However, he did not panic like the squire in the room. Instead, he stood up suddenly and walked quickly to Zhengyang Tower.
The window on the second floor was pushed open hard.
The biting cold wind poured into the house as the windows were violently pushed open. The muscles on Major Qingchuan's face trembled slightly in the howling of the cold wind. His eyes crossed the dotted low streets and alleys to the north of the city.
The sound of gunfire came from the north of the city. The bullets pulled out countless dazzling trajectories in the dark night, cutting the night into pieces. The flames of the explosion were as terrifying as lightning in the swirling smoke.
"There are at least hundreds of that army!"
Makino Kanan, the commander of the Japanese Skeleton Special Forces, also moved to the window at some point, with a fierce light in his cold eyes.
Out of nowhere, such a squadron suddenly appeared and invaded the city. The expression of Major Qingchuan, the commander of the regular troops, became extremely serious.
Now is a troubled time. Field troops, guerrilla troops, and local security forces in various theaters in China are launching attacks on their garrisons. In just one month, they have lost many previously occupied towns.
Under such a severe situation, as the commander of the regular troops in Gaoyou City, he naturally wanted to ensure that the city was under their control, and then persisted until the superior officers had settled the remaining areas and were free to provide reinforcements.
A few days ago, a large number of guerrilla troops launched a powerful offensive against Gaoyou City, and were successfully crushed by the troops led by Major Aoki. However, he did not expect that the guerrillas would come back so quickly.
"Report, hundreds of Chinese guerrilla troops broke through the security position in the north of the city and have entered the city. The night guard troops are fighting with them..."
A Japanese soldier hurriedly pushed open the wooden door of the box, walked quickly to the commander of Gaoyou City, Major Aoki, straightened his body and loudly reported.
"These Chinese people really overestimate their capabilities!" Major Aoki's gloomy face was full of anger, and he snorted heavily.
Although the gunfire from the north of the city was as dense as popping beans, the Japanese commander Major Aoki did not panic at all.
He asked coldly: "Have you found any movement from the Chinese Army in the south of the city?"
The Japs commander, Major Aoki, has rich command experience. He climbed from a low-level soldier to his current position step by step. When he learned that the north of the city was under attack, his eyes were not attracted. Instead, he focused on the overall situation and looked at the relationship with the enemy.
The north direction of the city is opposite to the south direction.
The Japanese soldier was stunned for a moment and then replied: "Everything is normal in the south direction of the city, and no Chinese army has been found."
"Order the security forces in the south of the city to defend in place and send people to investigate outside the south gate to prevent the Chinese from attacking from the east."
"Hiyi!"
After the Japanese soldier bowed his head heavily, he immediately turned around and strode downstairs.
"Order the Qingyuan troops to set up an ambush in Fuqian Street, and the security troops to retreat step by step, and introduce the incoming Chinese army into Fuqian Street to eliminate them!"
"Order Ono's troops to penetrate behind the Chinese Army from Pipa Street on the flank and block their retreat!"
"Order the artillery troops to go to Zhenguo Temple to set up defenses..."
Looking at the flames and explosions rising from time to time in the north of the city, the Japanese commander Major Qingchuan issued orders in an orderly manner, while Major Makino Kanan standing next to him said nothing.
From Makino Kanan's point of view, this was just a sneak attack by a small squadron. It was enough for the regular troops in the city to deal with it, and there was no need for their skeleton special forces to take action.
"Makino-kun, today's celebration banquet is over here. I will prepare another banquet after the Chinese army is eliminated." After Major Qingchuan issued the order, he turned to Makino Kanan and said apologetically.
"Aokawa-kun, do you need my help?" Although Makino Kanan said this, he folded his arms as if watching a show.
"Thank you Makino-kun for your kindness. I think I am enough to deal with these weak guerrillas, and I will wipe them all out!" Major Qingchuan's eyes were filled with murderous intent.
"I wish Qingchuan-kun a prosperous military career -" Makino Kanan said, turning slightly to the side and getting out of the way.
After Major Qingchuan nodded slightly to Makino Kanan, he immediately raised his proud head and strode towards the door.
The Japanese officers, whose faces were glowing red after drinking, all followed the Japanese commander Major Aoki downstairs.
The commander of the Skeleton Special Forces, Makino Kanan, glanced at the tables, chairs and dishes that had been knocked over due to panic in the room, looked at the panicked and timid squires, and showed a contemptuous sneer. He also looked at a few people wearing skull badges.
The Japanese left surrounded by Japanese soldiers.
Because of Yang Ling's unexpected attack on Gaoyou City, the Japanese's celebration banquet broke up unhappy.
Seeing that the Japanese soldiers had left, the gunshots came one after another, and the pale-faced squires also hurriedly crawled out from under the table and hurried to their homes.
The restaurant that just a moment ago was bustling with people toasting and drinking, suddenly turned into a mess, with no one left.
The attack on Gaoyou by Yang Ling and the First Guerrilla Corps of Northern Jiangsu was unexpected by the Japs, but the Japs had high military literacy. After losing two streets, the night guard force was able to stabilize the situation.
"Da da da......"
The Japanese machine guns were set up on the transferred barricades. A light machine gun almost blocked the entire street. The guerrilla brothers rushed back several times but were pushed back.
Scarlet bullets streaked down the street with a burning breath that tore through the air, and large pieces of earth were knocked off the walls of the houses on both sides.
Smoking grenades swirled and flew towards the Japanese barricades. Pieces of blood mist exploded in the explosion of fire, and sandbags were thrown away in all directions.
The Japs' machine gun was only silenced for a few breaths before roaring again. The bullets tore out lines of intertwined fire in the night. Several brothers who rushed towards them were stunned and fell in a pool of blood in strange postures.
Already.
But the little Japs didn't stay arrogant for long. As soon as they finished shooting the bullets, a dense amount of bullets suddenly flew out from a small alley behind them. It was the brothers who were interspersed and ran behind the Japs.
The bullets penetrated the Japs' bodies, and streams of blood gushed out. The Japs soldiers staggered to the ground, and the machine guns also slipped behind the sandbags.
