With the information provided by the underground party, the 27th Detachment quickly decided that at two o'clock in the morning the next day, Wei Daguang personally led the First Corps to launch an attack on Wangqingtuo Town.
According to intelligence, Wang Qingtuo has a self-defense group, a Japanese squad, and the first brigade of the Wuqing County Security Group.
Because of Wangqingtuo's special geographical location, the Japanese army also attached great importance to it.
There was only one Japanese squadron stationed in the entire Wuqing County, and one of them sent a small team to Wang Qingtuo, which shows that the Japanese army really attaches great importance to Wang Qingtuo.
Wang Qingtuo had an external telephone line. Before launching the attack, the 27th detachment first cut the telephone line.
In order to catch the enemy off guard, Wei Daguang decided to attack Wang Qingtuo from all sides.
The sudden attack by the 27th Detachment caused Wang Qingtuo's defenders to panic.
Although the residents in the town were too frightened to go out when they heard the gunshots, they knew that the troops outside were anti-Japanese, so they did not need to worry about their safety.
However, Niu Shaoshan, who had just arrived in Wangqingtuo today, was so frightened that he rolled under the bed when he heard the fierce gunshots.
Niu Shaoshan, Wang Qingtuo, who arrived only in the afternoon, took some photos, and after having dinner with the local mayor Cao Xiangyin and the Japanese captain Natsumoto, decided to stay at Cao's house for the night.
Among all the towns and villages in Wuqing County, Wang Qingtuo had the largest number of defenders and the strongest strength.
Niu Shaoshan felt that it would be safest to spend the night here.
Unexpectedly, these anti-Japanese troops actually regarded Wang Qingtuo as the target of their attack.
"Boom! Boom!"
Niu Shaoshan heard grenades and gunshots getting closer and closer, and his body became more and more trembling.
Suddenly, he felt wet on his crotch and was so frightened that he peed.
The leading troops of the 27th Detachment attacked Wang Qingtuo's Tuweizi in one go.
Outside Wangqingtuo Town, there is an earthen fence more than two meters high, which is equivalent to Wangqingtuo's "wall".
However, the resistance of the Japanese and puppet troops was also very tenacious. The two sides started a tug of war near Tuweizi, and the two sides fought fiercely until dawn.
The equipment of the 27th detachment is backward, let alone heavy weapons, there are only few hand grenades.
Fighting such a tough battle was very costly. In the end, the 27th detachment lost the cover of darkness and suffered heavy casualties, so it voluntarily withdrew from the battle.
"Counsellor Niu!" Cao Xiangyin could only pay attention to Niu Shaoshan at this time. He opened the door and was stunned when he didn't see Niu Shaoshan.
Although Niu Shaoshan is only a counselor in the counselor's office, he is much higher than him as the mayor.
The relationship between Niu Shaoshan and the Japanese seems to be good. During dinner last night, Xia Ben and Niu Shaoshan had a very pleasant conversation.
"Yeah." Niu Shaoshan fell asleep just before dawn. When he heard someone calling him, he responded in a daze.
"Council Niu, why did you fall asleep here?" Cao Xiangyin heard the sound, bent down, and soon found Niu Shaoshan under the bed.
"Yeah, when I heard the gunfire, I took cover. Is everything okay outside?" Niu Shaoshan slowly got out from under the bed without any shame.
The gunfire outside stopped and Cao Xiangyin came to see him. The anti-Japanese troops must have been beaten away.
"With the strong support of the imperial army, the brothers shared the same hatred and finally defeated the guerrillas." Cao Xiangyin said with a smile.
In fact, Xia Ben was so frightened that he sent a carrier pigeon just after dawn to ask for emergency help from the Japanese Defense Forces Headquarters at Kaiguangji Temple.
As for Wang Qingtuo's self-defense group, they indeed performed very bravely.
Because this is their home, they are used to showing off their power. If Wang Qingtuo is captured by the anti-Japanese troops, they will not have a good life.
The one who performed the worst was the first team of the Wuqing County Security Team.
These people were not natives of Wang Qingtuo. When they heard the gunfire, they all put their lives first.
The first team of the twenty-seventh team to break through was the first team's position.
"That's good." Niu Shaoshan heard that the guerrillas were retreating, and his speed of coming out suddenly accelerated.
"Wash the ginseng beforehand. I'll come back later." Cao Xiangyin suddenly smelled the smell of urine and was secretly amused.
Niu Shaoshan was so scared. The guerrillas hadn't invaded yet. If they really wanted to invade his home, Niu Shaoshan would probably be scared to death.
After Cao Xiangyin went out, Niu Shaoshan realized that his crotch was very uncomfortable. When he looked down, his face turned red.
After washing up, Niu Shaoshan didn't even eat breakfast. He asked the accompanying reporters to take some photos and left Wang Qingtuo immediately.
He secretly regretted that Wang Qingtuo was not far from Haigu and he should have gone back last night.
There were Japanese guards in Haigu, but the anti-Japanese troops still couldn't attack.
Last night, although the 27th detachment did not capture Wang Qingtuo, it left a psychological shadow on Niu Shaoshan.
At the same time, the actions of the 27th Detachment also gave the Japanese army a great shock.
The guerrillas actually had such strong fighting power, far beyond their imagination.
If the firepower of the 27th detachment had been stronger last night, perhaps Wang Qingtuo would have been captured.
Once Wang Qingtuo is captured, even if it is only for a few hours, it will have extremely bad consequences.
Even, a kind of terror will spread in Haigu.
At the same time, it will intensify the resistance in Haigu. There are troops outside, and the people in the city are not so afraid of the Japanese army.
After Niu Shaoshan returned to the Municipal Office on Liujing Road, Hebei, he went straight to Maochuan Xiuhe's office and reported to him what happened to Wang Qingtuo last night.
Of course, in front of Maokawa Hidewa, Niu Shaoshan would not talk about the fact that he was so frightened that he peed his pants.
"Mr. Maochuan, last night was really thrilling. If it weren't for the imperial army, I'm afraid Wang Qingtuo would have fallen into the hands of the guerrillas." Niu Shaoshan said with lingering fear.
"Yes, the situation last night was indeed critical. The self-defense group's performance this time was pretty good." Shigekawa Hidekazu said slowly.
"The self-defense group in Wangqingtuo Town is protecting the family, so of course they will fight tooth and nail. But the performance of the first team of the county self-defense group is not so satisfactory." Niu Shaoshan also heard from Cao Xiangyin that the first team last night
team performance.
Cao Xiangyin was very dissatisfied with the first team. If the guerrillas' weapons were not inferior, I am afraid that the place guarded by the first team would become a breakthrough for the guerrillas.
This is how siege works. Once a breakthrough is opened, it is equivalent to breaking through the psychological defense line of the defending troops.
By that time, the defenders had collapsed, and all their fighting spirit was gone.
"Have you completed your mission?" Shigekawa Hidekazu asked. This was an unexpected incident and had nothing to do with him as a consultant to the Municipal Office.
"The photos will be developed in the afternoon. Now I'm just waiting for Match to get the information." Niu Shaoshan said proudly.
Although he was frightened last night, he finally came back alive.
His "heroic" behavior can become a topic of conversation in the future.
As long as Cao Xiangyin is not present, he can brag at will.
"You've been working hard these days, go back and rest early." Maochuan Xiuhe patted Niu Shaoshan's shoulder and said comfortingly.
The actions of the 27th Detachment last night did not allow Hidekazu Shigekawa to connect with the matches.
