Discovering that there were indeed men and horses from the Imperial Guard Brigade outside the city, Yoshimoto Seiichi immediately ordered the troops to move away, open the city gates, and let the men from the Guard Brigade enter the city. However, just in case, after entering the city, the Imperial Guard Guard
Everyone in the brigade was disarmed on the spot, even the brigade commander Gou Ligui was no exception.
Seeing that the Japanese were coming to meet them, the Sichuan troops who were pursuing them outside the city retreated.
After a while, Gou Ligui was brought to Yoshimoto Seiichi by the Japanese.
Gou Ligui deliberately asked Yoshimoto Seiichi angrily: "Tai Sang, why did you disarm us?"
After listening to the translator's translation, Yoshimoto Teiichi said in embarrassment: "Gou Sang, this is also to avoid unpleasantness."
"Unpleasant? How could it be unpleasant?" Gou Ligui pretended to be stupid and said, "The imperial army has always treated our security brigade well. We are very happy. There will definitely be no unpleasantness."
However, Yoshimoto Teiichi sighed and said: "Gou Sang, I am very sorry to inform you that some very unpleasant things happened in Jiujiang City. Marine Corps soldiers caused a heavy disaster this afternoon and brought great disaster to the citizens of Jiujiang."
Even your family, causing irreparable harm."
"My family?" Gou Ligui asked in surprise, "Who? My father?"
"Gou Sang, I regret to inform you that your father has disappeared, and your sister also died unfortunately." Yoshimoto Teiichi said with some embarrassment.
"What? My father is missing and my sister is dead?" Gou Ligui's expression changed drastically.
Yoshimoto Teiichi immediately said: "But Gou Sang, please rest assured. I will report this matter to Commander Itagaki after he takes office. The Marine Corps soldier who caused the accident will definitely be punished for it, as well as those who also have relatives."
The injured officers and soldiers of the Imperial Association must hope that Gou Sang can assist the Imperial Army in comforting them."
Gou Ligui was scolding his mother in his heart, but on the surface he paused and responded: "Hai."
"Then let's do this for now. Gou Sang, you go back and rest first." Seeing that Gou Ligui had been comforted, Yoshimoto Zhenyi was in a good mood. In the next battle, Gou Ligui's Imperial Alliance Army may not be able to help, but no matter what,
These are more than a thousand officers and soldiers. Even if they help repair fortifications and carry military supplies, it is not bad.
If it really comes to a critical moment, I can cope with it to some extent.
Besides, Gou Ligui, after seeing Yoshimoto Sadichi, returned home first, but the home no longer felt like home. His father stayed with the Sichuan Army as a hostage, his sister had fallen into a well and died, and her body was placed in the yard of her house. Three aunts
They were crying and looking for life. When they saw Gou Ligui, they all ran over and asked him to bring justice to them, which made Gou Ligui even more upset.
So not long after staying at home, Gou Ligui returned to the garrison station.
Gou Ligui knew that his brothers were all concerned about their families, so he gave them two hours of leave after entering the city and allowed them to go home to visit their relatives. Two hours later, the officers and soldiers of the garrison brigade came back one after another, with expressions on their faces.
It was very embarrassing, and many officers and soldiers showed deep hatred in their eyes. Obviously, something happened at home.
"Brother, this little devil is nothing."
"That's right, I'm working hard for them, but they won't even let my sister go."
"There is also my wife. I said that his ancestor Banban actually slept with my wife."
"Who is your wife? My sister is only nine years old and she was ruined by little devils."
Dozens of officers from the garrison brigade gathered in front of Gou Ligui, and they were all filled with indignation.
Gou Ligui naturally did not reveal any words at this time and scolded these officers back.
In the early morning of the next day, gunfire suddenly rang out outside Jiujiang City, and the sound was very intense.
The officers and soldiers of the security brigade in the military camp were also awakened by the fierce gunfire, and dozens of officers above the company commander gathered in Gou Ligui's office.
Gou Ligui knew that the Sichuan army outside had begun to attack, and it was time for them to take action here too.
"Brothers, there is something I have been hiding from you, and now it's time to let you know." After Gou Ligui finished speaking, he turned to Xiao Liu and said, "Xiao Liu, tell everyone."
Xiaoliu immediately stood up and gritted his teeth and said: "Brothers, the little devils are nothing. We work like cattle and horses for them, but not only do they not care about our kindness, they actually harm our wives and daughters. It's simply not true."
People, so my eldest brother has discussed with the Sichuan Army to attack the little devil from both inside and outside!"
"Yes, the little devils are beasts, fight with them!"
"Count me in, I want to avenge my sister!"
"And me, my wife's death cannot be in vain, I have to avenge her!"
"I am a bachelor. The little Japs have not harmed me, but I have long disliked the Japs."
Xiao Liu's words were like a spark thrown into the pyre, instantly igniting the fire of hatred among these officers.
However, there were some sane people among them, who frowned and said, "But brother, we have already disarmed the Japanese, so even these bare-handed people can't fight against the Japanese."
"This is not a problem." Gou Ligui said, "The little devil will return the weapons to us soon."
Gou Ligui was not lying. Less than half an hour later, a Japanese liaison officer came to inform him and ordered the security brigade to rush to the armory immediately to collect weapons and ammunition and prepare for battle.
(Dividing line)
On the Jiujiang Ximen position, Yoshimoto Teiichi was already a little worried.
Yoshimoto Seiichi was very careful. When the gunfire rang out, he had not yet fallen asleep and was still inspecting the city fortifications. This was because Yoshimoto Seiichi knew the capabilities of the wolf fangs. These wolf fangs were so high that it was like climbing over the city wall as if it were flat ground, so he must not
There was a trace of negligence. Even though it was already midnight, Yoshimoto Teiichi continued to patrol the position meticulously.
As a result, while Yoshimoto Seiichi was inspecting, he discovered Wolf Fang trying to climb over the city wall.
Then the battle started. The Sichuan Army's offensive outside the city was unexpectedly fierce. At least one battalion launched a fierce attack on the Japanese position at the west gate of Jiujiang. Moreover, these Sichuan Army's tactical literacy was very high, and the cooperation between the infantry groups was very skillful.
Therefore, the defensive pressure on the Japanese army was very great.
Especially when there are several Wolf Fangs in the Sichuan army opposite, their marksmanship is not generally accurate!
In less than half an hour of fighting, the Shuigu Squadron stationed at the west gate had suffered more than fifty casualties.
If the fight continues like this, in another hour at most, Mizutani Squadron will suffer all their casualties!
However, Yoshimoto Teiichi did not dare to mobilize troops from the other three city gates to come for reinforcements. If this was Xu Rui's plan to attack the east and attack the west, after all the Japanese troops from the other three city gates were transferred to the west gate, the remaining Sichuan troops would
What if we suddenly attack the other three gates? In desperation, Yoshimoto Teiichi thought of Gou Ligui's security brigade.
The garrison brigade cannot be counted on for field operations, but it is still barely usable for city defense operations.
As for the loyalty of the security brigade, Yoshimoto Seiichi does not think it is a big problem.
Before the Sichuan Army's surprise attack on Jiujiang, Gou Ligui's security brigade had good cooperation with the Japanese army. Whether it was Okamura Neiji, Yoshimoto Teiichi, or the Jiujiang military police captain Yoshino Rio who had been killed, Gou Ligui still trusted Gou Ligui.
, there was a little unpleasantness that happened because of the brutal behavior of the Marine Corps, but in Yoshimoto Seiichi's view, this matter is over. After all, Gou Ligui has always been a smart man, and he should know how to make choices.
The firepower of the Sichuan army was very fierce. The whistling bullets passed over the city, dragging out dazzling ballistics under the dark night sky. Countless dazzling ballistics criss-crossed together and weaved into a dazzling web.
The big net, against the backdrop of the dark sky, is breathtakingly beautiful.
Yoshimoto Teiichi had no intention of admiring this magnificent scenery.
Huddled up behind the battlements as much as possible, Yoshimoto Sadai turned his head and shouted: "Why haven't the Imperial Alliance troops come up yet?"
A signal soldier stood up instinctively, but before he could answer, a dazzling bullet passed through his head, and then he fell to the ground without any movement.
Yoshimoto Teiichi turned his attention to the second signal soldier again.
The signal soldier learned a little wiser, and then he lay down on his stomach and climbed down backwards.
After a while, the communications soldier took Gou Ligui to the city tower again. Behind Gou Ligui were groups of puppet troops armed with live ammunition. After getting on the city tower, these puppet troops immediately dispersed and quickly entered the position.
On the ground, he squatted down behind the Japanese who was lying on the ground shooting.
In the darkness, no one noticed that the puppet army's guns were pointed at the Japanese.
Gou Ligui even ran to Yoshimoto Teiichi with a shell gun and shouted: "Tai Sang, we are here!"
"Yo Xi, Gou Sang, you have a great friend." Yoshimoto Jungichi put aside the translation and said something in blunt Chinese, and gave a thumbs up to Gou Ligui, but the next moment, Yoshimoto Jungichi's eyes immediately opened.
Well, because he clearly saw that Gou immediately raised the shell gun at him!
"Gou Sang! You..." Yoshimoto Zada shouted, instinctively wanting to hide.
But it was already too late. Gou Ligui gently pulled the trigger, and a gunshot rang out. A blood hole as big as the head of a chopstick appeared on Yoshimoto Zhenyi's forehead. Then his whole expression suddenly became dull. At this time, due to
The Japanese on both sides were fighting fiercely with the Sichuan troops outside the city, but no one noticed Gou Ligui's unusual behavior.
But the puppet army officers and soldiers who had been watching Gou Ligui out of the corner of their eyes saw it.
So the next moment, the puppet officers and soldiers who had already entered the attacking position opened fire one after another.
After intensive gunfire, the Japanese soldiers who were concentrating on exchanging fire with the Sichuan army outside the city fell into a pool of blood. The gunfire at the top of the city immediately became sparse. Seeing this situation, the Sichuan army outside the city immediately knew
It was the puppet army who took action here, and they immediately charged over with bayonets in hand.
The Japs guarding the west gate of Jiujiang originally had only one squadron. In the previous battle, nearly a squadron was injured and killed. Another squadron and a half were lost under the sneak attack of the puppet army. How could the remaining half squad of Japs be able to withstand the tiger-like wolves?
In less than a moment, the Sichuan army lost Ximen, and Jiujiang City once again fell into the hands of the 799th Regiment.
