The searchlight on the gendarmerie gate tower illuminated the door brightly. Soldiers on night duty wearing knee-length cotton uniforms patrolled the door with Type 38 rifles.
The searchlight beam flashed, and several figures were shaking twenty or thirty meters away.
"Stop, if you get closer I'll shoot! (Chinese)"
All military police will say this Chinese saying to warn civilians who accidentally approach the military police.
Cao Yunfei held up the only medium-sized rifle he had brought into the city. The butt of the gun was placed on the hollow of his shoulder. The muzzle of the gun was pointed at the searchlight. His finger was on the trigger. His shot must hit. If not, he would have no choice but to hit the target.
Retreat immediately.
The sentry clattered and cocked the gun. They already felt that something was not right. If they were ordinary people, they would have run away after hearing the warning, but the other party ignored it.
"Stop! Come any closer..."
"boom!"
Before the sentry finished shouting the warning, a clear gunshot sounded, "Bang!" The searchlight was shattered, and the front door suddenly fell into darkness.
"Bang! Bang! Bang! Bang!"
Then there were gunshots and bullets were fired from different directions.
"There's something going on! Go and report to Second Lieutenant Miyamoto!"
The sentry lay down behind the bunker of the gatehouse and fired back. Both sides were firing blindly. They couldn't see the target clearly in the dark, and they just suppressed the other side's firepower.
Lao Lu and more than 20 people had just walked to the door of the study. They were startled when they heard the sound of gunfire. They quickly walked into the study and opened the secret door to let everyone in.
According to the original plan, after placing these people in the basement, they still had to try to rescue Sun Shiming. According to the information provided by Lao Qiu, if Sun Shiming was not in the cell, he must be in the health room.
The situation had suddenly changed. It was impossible to save Sun Shiming. There were already chaotic footsteps behind him, accompanied by loud shouts.
The combat quality of the Japanese army is not only reflected in combat. Their adaptability is truly amazing. In almost two or three minutes, they were basically assembled.
"Hurry up!" Lao Lu urged, holding the rifle.
They didn't dare to turn on the light in the study. Most of these people had injuries from torture, and they moved very slowly. More than 20 people walked in one by one in the dark, but they couldn't move faster even if they tried.
Miyamoto held a southern-style pistol and asked loudly: "What's going on?"
Sentry: "Report Lieutenant, we were attacked by unidentified armed men!"
"how many people?"
"The searchlight was smashed and we couldn't see how many people were there!"
Miyamoto listened for a while and then ordered: "The enemy's firepower is very weak, there are no more than twenty people, order the machine gun cover, the first and second detachments to attack!"
"Yes!" the sentry ran back.
"Second Lieutenant, something happened in the prison." A military policeman ran over in a panic to report.
Miyamoto was taken aback and said, "What's wrong?"
"Hashimoto and Yamashita were killed, and the prisoners in cells No. 1o and No. 11 are all missing!"
Miyamoto thought for a moment and asked: "Is anyone going out at the front and back doors?"
"No."
"They are still in the gendarmerie. They will search me immediately. Every house will be searched!"
"yes!"
In addition to civilian personnel, more than 200 military police were divided into two teams, one team was preparing to attack the armed elements outside, and the other team was searching for escaped prisoners.
There were still six or seven people in the study who had not entered the secret door. Lao Lu peered out anxiously and saw that a dozen military policemen were already walking towards this direction.
Just as a military policeman was about to reach out and open the door, Lao Lu held his rifle and pulled the trigger through the glass. "Bang!" The bullet penetrated the glass and hit the man's chest. The dead body fell on the door.
"They are here!" a Japanese soldier shouted.
Miyamoto did not go outside to supervise the battle. In his opinion, the harassing attacks were to cooperate with the prisoners' escape. Two detachments were sent to deal with them. The most important thing was to find the prisoners hiding in the yard.
A military policeman pulled the bolt and loaded the gun. Just when he was about to shoot, Miyamoto ordered: "Don't shoot. This is the major's study. They can't escape. Surround this place!"
"Empty empty empty empty empty empty empty!"
The machine gun nest on the gatehouse held the 92 heavy machine gun, which was now firing. Bullets were spraying out like raindrops. Two detachments of military police held rifles and searched outside in their usual triangle attack formation.
Cao Yunfei hid behind a big tree and shouted: "Camel! It's up to you!"
Camel was sitting in the car, watching the Japanese soldiers approaching in darkness. On the passenger seat, there were hand grenades bundled together, which were all the belongings of the guerrillas.
——Cao Yunfei pretended to attack the gendarmerie, just waiting for the Japanese soldiers to assemble completely. Camel drove a car under the cover of darkness and rammed directly into it, detonating cluster grenades in the crowd of Japanese soldiers, causing maximum damage!
Cao Yunfei was a bandit. He had not gone through a large battle. He thought he would attract the enemy, so he retreated with his men. Now he was so overwhelmed by the Japanese firepower that he could not even lift his head, and was unable to retreat at all.
It was a style of fighting that would kill both the enemy and the enemy. With the combat capabilities of the Japanese army, the guerrillas had little chance of escaping. They had been bitten by the opponent from the beginning, and the stalemate became an inseparable situation.
The sound of gunfire covered up the sound of the car engine. Camel did not turn on the lights. He held the steering wheel with both hands and pressed the accelerator to the bottom. The car rushed towards the Japanese army like an arrow off the string.
"Cover!" Cao Yunfei shouted and fired.
One of the team members raised his gun and just leaned forward when a bullet hit his chest and he fell to the ground with a plop.
"Empty empty empty empty empty empty empty!"
The 92 heavy machine gun fired bullets, and two more team members were shot and fell to the ground.
The second donkey climbed over and said: "Master, retreat! The firepower of the little devil is too fierce!"
Cao Yunfei said harshly: "No! The camel is still in the car!"
"The camel won't survive, leave him alone..."
"What the hell are you talking about!"
The Japanese soldier saw a car approaching with a sun flag on the car. He was a little stunned for a moment. Suzuki Souchang was the first to react and shouted: "Shoot!"
"Bang! Bang! Bang! Bang!"
The bullet shattered the windshield of the car, and glass particles flew everywhere. Camel didn't dare to raise his head at all. He lowered himself in the car and pressed the prepared stone on the accelerator.
Camel had looked at the terrain beforehand and knew that there was a patch of dead grass on his left. He estimated the time, looked at the fuse, pushed the door open and jumped, rolling and falling into the grass.
He had a strong body, and although the car was very fast, the thick dead grass saved him. Apart from a broken arm and some scratches on his face, he was not seriously injured.
After landing, the camel lay motionless in the grass, waiting to hear the loud bang of the cluster grenade.
More than ten seconds passed, and there was no sound except the sound of gunfire. Luo Tuo couldn't help but look up and saw that the car was still rushing towards the gendarmerie, with several Japanese soldiers chasing after it and shooting.
It was dark all around, and everyone's attention was on the car. They didn't expect that the driver had jumped out.
Although the car body was riddled with bullet holes, the car miraculously did not stop. It rushed up the steps and crashed into the yard, knocking over the trash can at the door of the bathroom, and then turned off and stopped.
The second donkey in the distance cursed: "Repay him for bragging about blowing up tanks, why didn't he make any sound?"
Cao Yunfei was also puzzled. Was it because he was in a panic that Camel didn't pull the fuse? He originally wanted to use the cluster grenade to explode before retreating, but now it seems that it won't work.
Shuanzi shouted: "Master, please leave quickly, my brothers and I will cover you!"
