Chapter 1185 There are also sap players in the city
Although the explosives that had been buried two years in advance on the south gate city wall were not planted by professionals, the huge explosion power proved that as long as they were wrapped in enough oil paper, they would still kill people if they exploded.
Huge explosions rumbled through the four cities.
Bunzaburo Kawagishi, who had just put down some thoughts and regained his majesty as Lieutenant General of the Imperial Japanese Army, suddenly stiffened. Looking at the huge fireball rising in the south, he ordered again without hesitation: "Order the patrol to fully reinforce Nancheng."
As a veteran army general, Bunzaburo Kawagishi knew very well what this explosion represented. It represented the blasting of a large amount of explosives, and the target of the blasting could naturally only be the city wall.
As for how the Chinese were able to successfully detonate in such a short time, that is no longer something Bunzaburo Kawagishi can think about now. He must now mobilize enough manpower in the shortest possible time to block the upcoming attack from the breach.
Chinese people in the city.
If all kinds of fortifications cannot withstand the attack for more than two hours, then the Imperial Army Air Force, which brought bombs, can only sigh in the sky looking at the corpses of all the Imperial soldiers in the city.
The bottom limit given by Bunzaburo Kawagishi to the four-door defenders was to hold off the Chinese for at least two hours. The North China Expeditionary Force had already given a reply that two squadrons of Army aviation fighters from Peking Nanyuan Airport would take off at seven in the morning, but
The distance is 320 kilometers, and it was at least 7:45 when the fleet arrived in Shijiazhuang at the fastest speed.
Of course, the Japanese army is not as awesome as American cowboys in equipping wireless communication devices to platoon-level units. The headquarters can issue military orders and notify them to the most basic combat units within half a minute. In fact, in this regard, the Japanese army is poorer than
The down-and-out Chinese army is not much stronger. It relies on the two legs and one mouth of the signal corps to make notifications.
While the signal soldiers of the division headquarters' communications brigade frantically ran to the streets shouting military orders, seven pairs of eyes scattered in hidden spots on both sides of the streets in Shimen City gradually brightened.
There are independent groups not only outside the city, but also inside the city.
If the Japanese want to reinforce, then we have to see if they are willing.
Lu Shandong's third special operations team did not participate in the battle at the city gate this time. Their purpose of lurking into the city this time was to attack various targets in the city while the main force outside the city was attacking, causing chaos and distracting the enemy.
I can't take care of my butt.
To put it bluntly, it's just harassment, making Bunzaburo Kawagishi as miserable as possible.
The Japanese division headquarters was defended like an iron barrel in a short period of time. There were about 200 elite infantrymen, 4 light machine guns, 2 heavy machine guns, and 2 90mm cannons. The special operations team only had seven people in total to fight with them.
, that is undoubtedly asking for death.
After the attack outside the city began, Lu Shandong categorically gave up his previously formulated tactics of attacking important targets and instead attacked Japanese patrols scattered throughout the city.
The Japanese patrols are all composed of fifteen-man squads similar to the size of the Chinese army's infantry squads, and because they are heavy troops, their equipment is worse than that of the infantry in the front-line infantry brigade, except for a very small number of squads led by second lieutenants.
The detachment has a light machine gun team and a grenade team, with a total of 20 people accompanying it. The rest are led by Captain Cao, and their standard equipment is the fifteen-rod and three-eight-bar.
The largest heavy weapon is probably the four melon grenades carried by each person.
This kind of tragic equipment depiction often appeared on Chinese soldiers when the Chinese army and the Japanese army faced off, but at this time, the equipment of the special operations team would definitely kill them in an instant.
When the Third Special Forces Team entered the city three days ago, they did not sneak in in disguise. They were all strong men with gunshot wounds and scars on their bodies. In such an important place as Shimen, the Japanese army only needed to inspect it carefully.
Discover clues.
Rather than using the city wall to enter the city at night, the Japanese army guarded Shimen even more tightly than in Jingxing County. There were searchlights every 200 meters on the city wall, illuminating every detail 200 meters outside the city. The patrols on the city wall were even more
Each post is five meters tall and one sentry is ten meters tall. It doesn't mean that if you wear black clothes, you can become invisible and sneak in under the noses of the Japanese army.
The "old and cunning" wealthy businessman surnamed Yu gave himself a great help to the Third Special Operations Team. One was in a withered grave outside the South Gate, and the other was in a business 400 meters away from the South Gate.
In the woodshed of the restaurant, a 1,000-meter-long tunnel that only one person could pass through was enough for the seven-man special operations team and Captain Yu carrying personal weapons to sneak into the city silently.
Otherwise, it would be difficult for Yu Xiancheng to just go out of the city to give Liu Lang information.
The heavily protected headquarters of the Japanese Western Front Corps is not a small county town in a future TV series. Experts from all walks of life seem to be in a deserted place no matter what day or night.
The Third Special Forces Team, which entered the city with only "Black Star" pistols and military assassins, can still use these weapons to carry out assassinations, but if they want to use this, they will despise calling others scumbags with 38 caps and melon grenades, then
Of course it's a little funny.
The "Black Star" pistol, which is said to have an effective range of 100 meters but actually changes its ballistic trajectory when it flies 50 or 60 meters, is actually pretty good, but compared with the 38-meter range that almost everyone in the Japanese army can use as a sniper rifle,
That's a scumbag. As for the military thorn, which is a weapon for close combat and sneak attack, it cannot be counted at all.
And if they are spread out like a special team, even if they are a group of two, the distance must be more than two hundred meters. Almost one person has to attack a Japanese patrol of fifteen people. When the individual combat power does not reach the level of inhuman
Before Liu Tuanzuo's strength was like this, he was almost always seeking his own death.
Liu Lang had dug up a secret arsenal in Shimen several years in advance to provide the special team with enough firepower. In addition to semi-automatic rifles, submachine guns, and even 60 mortars and artillery shells, except for the newly developed rocket launchers, independent regiment equipment
From the light firepower standard weapons of the infantry company, almost everything is available. The person responsible for guarding is a retired disabled veteran of the independent regiment, which ensures absolute loyalty and has no interaction with the wealthy businessman surnamed Yu, which also reduces the possibility of leaking secrets.
Not to mention the Japanese, it is impossible for the Chinese to imagine that a middle-aged man who is missing a leg and struggling to make ends meet by running a small steamed bun shop would have munitions capable of arming an infantry company hidden two meters below the small backyard.
As for how many such arsenals there are, in the country, apart from Liu Lang, who is in charge of this matter, only Xiao Fenghua, who is responsible for the security of the independent regiment, knows. Even Ji Yanxue, if Liu Lang does not die in the battle, she
She also had no right to open the small notebook that Liu Lang had given her before he swore to go on the expedition. In it, there were recorded all the secrets that Liu Lang had deployed in important cities across the country in the past five years.
The Huashang Group has an espionage system. In addition to providing intelligence, their other task is to store food. The Security Department of the Independent Regiment also has its own system. All its members are the most loyal veterans who have retired due to disabilities. What they want
What is protected is the arsenal, which can arm an infantry company at any time. In some important cities, the number is even larger.
There will never be any communication between these two lines, and neither party knows the existence of the other. Even if one of them is discovered by the enemy, it will not affect the other.
The equipment of the replenished third special operations team at this time is naturally far beyond what a single Japanese soldier armed only with rifles and grenades can match.
On a street 600 meters away from the south gate, a group of Japanese soldiers, led by a second lieutenant, were running at maximum marching speed with short legs.
For those who are familiar with Shijiazhuang, almost everyone knows about the existence of this street. Even more than eighty years later, this street will still exist. The famous South Street, on this street, has the largest store in Shimen.
There are also banks, jewelry stores, Goubuli steamed buns shop, etc. It can be said that in this era, this street is the Wall Street of Shimen.
The street, which is 5.5 meters wide and 380 meters long, was not too shabby nearly a century ago. Not to mention 20 little devils running in a queue, even two trucks driving side by side were no problem.
In China at the beginning of the 20th century, both cities and villages were basically dominated by bungalows. Three-story buildings or even two-story buildings were considered high-end buildings. Of course, Shanghai, the largest city in the East, was not included in this list, but Songhu was resounding throughout the country.
The artillery fire in May also destroyed Asia's largest financial center to a pulp.
On the once most prosperous streets in China's northern military center, two-story buildings are not uncommon. They are all made of thick blue bricks. Even mortars may not be able to destroy them easily. Display
No matter in any era, the huge power of capital is the building that originally belonged to banks and banks.
Of course, there is no one left now. Before the Japanese army arrived here, the bankers with huge wallets had already fled south with their gold bars. Those who stayed in the city and endured the military disaster and artillery fire were always ordinary people who were unable to travel far.
Some thoughtful people who want to take advantage of the troubled times to get some out of the fire.
For late autumn in northern China, it is around 6 o'clock in the morning, when the temperature is actually very low. If many residents go out early, they put on thin cotton-padded jackets that are much thicker than jackets. The Japanese army only wore thin jackets and uniforms.
But they were sweating profusely. You can imagine how fast they ran all the way and how exhausted they were.
For Second Lieutenant Yoshida Masao, who led the Japanese army, the military order directly issued by the division headquarters was that reinforcements must arrive at the South Gate within fifteen minutes, otherwise military law would be imposed. But by the time he received the military order, four days had passed.
It's really not easy to run a distance of nearly 2,500 meters in 11 minutes.
In the dusk, the black shadow of the south gate tower was clearly visible. The tense expression on Masao Yoshida's face finally softened a little. He could reach his destination in at most one mile, and he was not late at last.
He didn't know that on the roof of the two-story building that originally belonged to a bank in the center of the street 180 meters away from him, a pair of eyes also showed a smile. In addition to the joy of finally reaching the target, the smile also contained...
It's as cold as a late autumn morning in the north.
The owner of the eyes has a pair of round eyes and a round face, a round nose and somewhat plump lips. No matter how you look at it, no one will think of this simple and cheerful face.
The face is associated with a soldier.
What's more, he is the most elite soldier among the thousands of people in the independent regiment.
However, no one knows that it is because of his existence that the third special operations team led by Lu Shandong, who is not ranked high among the independent regiment's special operations brigade in terms of combat effectiveness, has taken on the important task of lurking into the important town of Shimen.
