In order to keep Lieutenant Colonel Miki in the mountains and prevent these troops from discovering the main force of the garrison hidden in Yixian County after they came out of the mountains, the garrison's action plan was exposed in advance and the guerrilla brigade made huge sacrifices.
On the way back, they would appear every hour to fight with the Japanese and puppet troops, which whetted Lieutenant Colonel Miki's appetite.
By six o'clock in the afternoon, the sky began to darken, and the guerrilla brigade of nearly two hundred people was beaten down to more than eighty people.
In Yi County City, in a yard more than 500 meters away from the Japanese garrison headquarters, three commandos were playing with the mortars in front of them.
Twenty rounds of mortar shells were all fused and placed neatly aside.
A few minutes later, the commando who served as the gunner stopped adjusting the artillery and squatted beside him, staring at his watch, waiting for the moment of attack...
At the Royal Association Legion Headquarters, Chief of Staff Chen Fusheng walked around the war room with a restless expression, glancing at the clock on the wall from time to time.
Xiao Yuan was wearing the uniform of the Imperial Association Army and standing next to him like a guard.
Seeing that Chen Fusheng was getting more and more nervous, he was afraid that other people in the headquarters would notice something strange, so he quickly reminded him.
"Come and sit down, don't be in a hurry, we have made arrangements, there will definitely be no problems."
"boom……"
As soon as the minute hand of the clock turned to the 12 o'clock position, an explosion sounded at the garrison headquarters not far away.
Except for Chen Fusheng and a few commandos, the rest of the Imperial Army in the headquarters seemed to be frightened, and all of a sudden were in chaos.
"Boom...boom..."
Every four or five seconds, an explosion came from the garrison headquarters.
Black smoke rose into the sky, and many houses in the headquarters were bombed, setting off raging fires, turning the sky above the headquarters red.
"I'm reporting to you, the Imperial Army's garrison headquarters was hit by unknown shelling!" A subordinate rushed in and reported, with fear on his face.
"Do you know who did it and where they are hiding? The headquarters dares to make a sneak attack. It's so boring!" Chen Fusheng pretended to be furious, staring at his subordinates and asking.
All of this was done deliberately for the instructors sent by the Japanese to the Imperial Alliance Army to see.
The subordinate shook his head and replied: "The shells seemed to have been fired from a yard more than 500 meters away. The specific identity of the enemy is not yet clear."
Chen Fusheng immediately turned his attention to the Japanese instructor: "Taijun, the imperial army has limited troops. Many troops are guarding the city. There must be very few defenders at the headquarters."
"I still have nearly a battalion of troops here."
"The enemy will use mortars to attack the headquarters when they come up. They must be very powerful. I suggest that all the Imperial Army here be dispatched to reinforce the headquarters."
"First kill the enemies attacking the headquarters, and then deploy defenses around the headquarters to protect the safety of the headquarters."
Chen Fusheng said it sincerely, with an attitude of being very concerned about the safety of the headquarters.
Over the past few years, Chen Fusheng has always given the impression to the Japanese that he is loyal and has no second thoughts, and that his wealth and life are completely tied to the imperial army's chariot.
So as soon as Chen Fusheng's words came out, the Japanese believed him.
In addition, he also wanted to reinforce the headquarters and see how the headquarters was doing. Looking at Chen Fusheng, he ordered without hesitation.
"Yoshi, I agree to reinforce the headquarters."
Chen Fusheng breathed a sigh of relief and quickly ordered: "What are you still doing? The entire Imperial Army is dispatched to reinforce the headquarters and set off now."
"Take a seat, why don't you leave some people to protect the regiment?" a subordinate reminded.
"The regiment also has a lot of food, weapons and ammunition in stock."
Chen Fusheng glared at the other party first, and then cursed: "Do you think we have many troops?"
"Compared to the safety of the headquarters, these weapons, ammunition and food are nothing at all?"
"I repeat the order just now: all Imperial Army troops are dispatched to reinforce the headquarters and set off now."
Chen Fusheng was also heartbroken to lose so many weapons, ammunition and food all at once.
But he felt even more heartbroken for the troops under his command.
According to the agreement between himself and the Eighth Route Army, the Imperial Army Corps Headquarters belongs to the occupied area.
If the troops are left to defend here, no matter who they are, they will either be destroyed by the Eighth Route Army or become prisoners of the Eighth Route Army.
Regardless of the outcome, the troops in your hands will be lost.
The troops are the foundation for the Japanese to establish themselves. As long as they have troops in their hands, the Japanese will continue to reuse them.
As for the discarded weapons, ammunition and food, the position and status have been preserved, and you can have as much as you want.
The Imperial Alliance Army was divided into two, with an infantry company attacking the artillery position. The remaining troops, under the personal command of Chen Fusheng, attacked the Japanese garrison headquarters that had been bombed into ruins.
Xiao Yuan followed Chen Fusheng closely. He wanted to confirm immediately whether the radio station equipped by the Japanese had been completely destroyed.
As for the assault team that was firing, he wasn't worried at all.
It takes five minutes for the reinforcements to reach the artillery position. The artillery team has already fired nearly ten rounds of artillery shells. In another minute, they can abandon the artillery and retreat.
By the time the reinforcements get through, the place will definitely be deserted, with only a lone mortar left.
Chen Fusheng and Xiao Yuan arrived at the garrison headquarters ten minutes later.
The chief of staff who stayed behind in the county seat was sitting on an ammunition box outside the headquarters, his face red with anger.
A military doctor stood nearby to bandage his wound. He could tell at a glance that his arm was injured during the transfer.
The small headquarters has been bombed into ruins, and several houses are still burning. Thick smoke is billowing everywhere, and Japanese soldiers are constantly running out of the ruins carrying wounded people covered in blood...
More Japanese were killed and fell among the ruins.
The air was filled with the thick smell of blood and gunpowder smoke.
If you are not a veteran, you will definitely not be able to bear it when you suddenly see the tragic scene in front of you.
According to the previous agreement, Chen Fusheng ordered as soon as he arrived at the headquarters: "What are you still doing? Help the imperial army clean the battlefield and rescue the wounded immediately."
After saying that, he took Xiao Yuan and walked towards the Japanese Chief of Staff.
Two commandos disguised as guards followed other puppet troops into the headquarters.
They had to see with their own eyes that the radio station equipped by the Japanese army was destroyed before they could feel relieved.
Soon, the little Japanese telecommunications room with only three broken walls and black smoke still coming out appeared in front of the two people.
The radio operators and communications staff all fell to the ground, with blood everywhere on their bodies. It was obvious at first glance that they were dead.
Two radio stations, one large and one small, fell to the side. The wood and tiles that had been blasted off the roof were smashed into scrap metal. They were definitely unusable.
Outside the headquarters, Chen Fusheng jogged all the way to the chief of staff, and said with flattery and flattery: "Taijun, you are frightened. I have brought all the Imperial Army troops I can bring, and some soldiers are searching nearby for enemies who sneak attack on the headquarters."
, some soldiers are rescuing the wounded. If you have any other orders from Taijun, just give them. I am humble and promise to live up to Taijun’s high expectations."
As soon as he finished speaking, the captain of the headquarters guard ran over and reported solemnly: "Sir, more than half of the headquarters guard troops have been injured and killed, and there are less than fifty people left to continue fighting."
"Only four staff officers and clerks from the headquarters rushed out. All the others were killed in the battle, and the radio station was also destroyed."
"In order to prevent the headquarters from being attacked again, I proposed to deploy some Imperial Army troops to set up defenses around us to assist in the defense."
"Okay!" The chief of staff couldn't think of any other way and replied with a long sigh.
