Chapter 356

The satisfied smile on the brigade commander's face became stronger because every aspect of the battle was moving in a direction that was beneficial to him.

As long as this good situation continues, one day the balance of victory will turn towards you.

Immediately ordered: "I notify all garrisons participating in the war and the Imperial Army to strictly implement the combat plan of the Brigade Command: attack step by step, and no unit is allowed to advance alone. Even if the army advances alone and defeats the Eighth Route Army, I will punish him after the battle!"

"The intelligence department continues to keep a close eye on the national rescue army, and any abnormal movements must be reported as soon as possible."

"The garrison on the blockade line is strengthened, and the Chief of Staff you have formulated is very good temporarily, so that a certain stronghold and artillery tower can be prevented from being taken down by the National Salvation Army."

"No matter which stronghold and artillery tower on the blockade line is attacked, the garrison must defend and wait for assistance. A soldier of the national rescue army cannot be allowed to cross the blockade line and enter the occupied area of ​​the Imperial Army."

"As long as they use the blockade line to block the national rescue army for another two days, the victory will be locked in our hands."

The atmosphere in the war room was obviously easier than before because of these orders. The Chief of Staff breathed a sigh of relief and replied loudly: "General, don't worry, from now on, Bei Yi personally stared at the blockade line and ensured that there would be no accidents there."

In the afternoon of that day, both the Yangquan Independent Regiment of the Eighth Route Army and the two guerrilla squadrons that were active in pacifying the Dingbei were killed and injured under the Japanese army's step-by-step attack.

As night falls, the major battlefields slowly return to peace.

The Japanese knew that the Eighth Route Army was good at guerrilla warfare and night warfare. If they continued to attack at night, they would be like attacking the enemy's strengths with their own shortcomings and seeking hardships.

Unless it is absolutely necessary, the Japanese will find a favorable terrain to rest and wait for the battle after dawn.

Outside a valley three kilometers away from Pingding City, dozens of patrol soldiers were scattered among the shrubs and woods, and integrated with the surrounding environment. If you don’t walk in and look at it, you will not be able to find their existence at all.

These patrol soldiers were in groups of two or three, closely monitoring every move around them and preventing outsiders from entering the valley.

They were all investigators in the second platoon of the National Reconnaissance Company of the National Rescue Army. They walked through their guard positions and walked two kilometers into the valley. A relatively flat forest appeared in front of them. Hundreds of National Rescue Army soldiers were lying, sitting, or standing, and resting here.

As night slowly fell, more and more soldiers woke up from their sleep, and the valley became more and more lively.

Behind a stone in the middle of the flat ground, regiment commander Zhou Cheng, chief of staff Chen Zhengyu, and several company commanders of the participating troops were all surrounded by a table made of ammunition boxes? His eyes were staring at the map above.

Zhou Cheng was the first to speak: "Comrades? As planned, at 11 o'clock tonight? We will launch an attack on Pingding City on time."

"Because the regiment headquarters arranged an internal support in the city? I asked everyone to enter the county town within one hour and end the battle within two hours? Eliminate all enemies in the city."

"Chief of Staff, how are Deputy Commander Tang preparing?"

Chen Zhengyu replied very seriously: "I just contacted Deputy Commander Tang? All the troops in the left-behind defense zone are ready for attack. The baggage company? The chariot platoon and cavalry company are all moving to Donghui Town."

"When we attack and pacify the county, they will launch an attack on ten strongholds and artillery towers on the blockade line at the same time."

"Because all the remaining artillery in the artillery battalion participated in the battle? They were confident that they would take down all target artillery towers within half an hour? Then expand the breakthrough and cover our operation team behind enemy lines to withdraw safely from the base."

"Deputy Commander Tang personally took charge of Donghui Town, and within half an hour, he tore a gap of more than fifteen kilometers on the blockade line."

"After completing the mission, the logistics company will carry all the logistics trucks and transport vehicles to Pingding to join us and transport the spoils."

"The protection gap between the cavalry company and the fourth battalion? Until the siege troops and all spoils are safely withdrawn to the defense zone."

"The left-behind troops launched an attack at 11 o'clock, and the baggage company crossed the blockade line at 11:30?                                                                                                                                                                                                                                            

Zhou Cheng was very satisfied with the Chief of Staff’s arrangement? He immediately gave affirmation: "Everything is implemented as you said just now!"

"We finished our meal at six o'clock? Then prepare for the war? Depart at nine o'clock, secretly fight outside Pingding City at ten o'clock and lurk on standby, and launch an attack on time at eleven o'clock."

"The spy company launched an attack from the east, the 10th company of the 4th battalion attacked from the west, the 11th company of the 4th battalion attacked from the north, and the guard company attacked from the south..."

Pingding City, which was martial law by the Japanese army, was not angry at all, and was full of life everywhere.

After dark, the county town became quieter.

In addition to the city wall and the Japanese command center, some fire and lights can be seen, and there are black dust everywhere.

Under the cover of night, more than a dozen figures passed through the streets and alleys like ghosts, slowly approaching the Pingding Arsenal.

Under normal circumstances, at least thirty Japanese devils will be stationed here.

In order to attack the guerrillas, Grandmaster Asakawa drew all the main forces and guards that could be removed from the city, and the guards that defended the arsenal were no exception.

But the arsenal was too important. After the military captain took over the defense and pacified the city, he wanted to arrange heavy troops to protect the arsenal, but it was hard for a good cook to cook without rice.

Such an important place in the arsenal will definitely not let the Imperial Army burn its fingers. The military police have to protect the county town. After thinking about it, they can only let the baggage team rise up, and they can only divide five baggage troops to protect the arsenal.

Because the baggage team of more than 30 people not only needs to protect the arsenal, but also needs to protect the command center, the grain warehouse, the military police command center... in several places, the limited troops were not enough.

Compared with the soldiers of the garrison, the baggage team has much worse combat effectiveness, is not very vigilant, and is not experienced enough.

Five baggage troops defended the arsenal, but there were not many people, so they even acted in dispersed ways.

Two men guarded the door of the arsenal, and three men patrolled around the arsenal.

More than a dozen black shadows touched the arsenal before stopping, hid in the corner, and quietly waited for the three Japanese scouts who were getting closer and closer not far away.

They were members of the National Rescue Army's reconnaissance team. They had to start the action half an hour later, but in order to collect enough weapons and ammunition for the reconnaissance company, Wang Tieshan decided to act in advance and take down the Japanese arsenal first.

After the three baggage soldiers walked to them, six team members rushed towards the baggage soldiers like leopards.

The two baggage soldiers were cut off their throats on the spot, without saying a word, and staring at their big eyes turned into corpses.

Although the third baggage soldier called out before his death, it was too far away from the arsenal gate and did not alarm the two baggage soldiers there at all...

After solving the only patrol team in the arsenal, the reconnaissance team completely lost their worries and easily climbed over the wall and entered the yard where the arsenal was located.

"Bang..."

A sound of opening and closing the door came from the arsenal.

The two baggage soldiers guarding the gate saw it in the eyes of each other and were puzzled.

There is no one in the arsenal, so it will not make any sound. In order to prevent accidents, a baggage soldier was very quick to hold the rifle in his hand and then carefully enter the arsenal.

At first, no one noticed it. When entering one of the warehouses, just as soon as he walked into the door, two figures emerged from behind him, one team member holding a dagger to attack his neck, and one team member holding a dagger to attack his back heart.

The baggage soldier's eyes quickly widened, and was about to speak to remind his comrades at the door that the dagger attacking his neck had quickly passed through his throat.

The dagger was too sharp and he easily cut his throat into two pieces. Blood and foam came out from the blade. The screams were already at the mouth, but they just couldn't make it.

At the same time, another dagger easily penetrated the Japanese military uniform, penetrated the heart and pierced it into the heart.

Two fatal injuries instantly took away the lives of the baggage soldiers.

At this time, the gate of the arsenal had been opened. Two team members touched the gate from the yard. While the baggage soldiers were staring outside, one team member quickly took action and ran to him in two or three steps. While covering the baggage soldiers' mouth that began to scream, he cut open his throat with a dagger.

With two-pronged approach, the exclamation from the baggage troops came to an abrupt end, causing no movement in Pingding City, where the troops were empty.

Ten minutes later, a row of reconnaissance companies entered the arsenal. Facing the piles of weapons and ammunition in the warehouse, each scout equipped himself with two guns, one long and one short, and all the places where grenades can be hung on them are hung on melon grenades.

"Company Commander, the siege is about to begin in ten minutes. I want to divide the reconnaissance team into two, an assault team will attack the grain warehouse, and the remaining team members will attack the Japanese command center with me." Wang Tieshan suggested.

"There are only the most Japanese in the city except on the city wall."

"After killing all the Japanese devils there, there will be no Japanese devils in the city!"

Tang Shengbo was very self-aware and knew that the reconnaissance team was better at sneak attacks than the reconnaissance company. He immediately agreed: "Then I will leave half a squad to protect the arsenal, draw half a squad to attack the military police, one squad to attack the puppet army command, and the remaining squad to attack the Japanese and puppet troops on the east city and cooperate with the regiment commander to take down the east gate."

Wang Tieshan immediately agreed: "I asked the firepower team of the reconnaissance team to cooperate with the company commander to attack the East Gate. They carried a mortar and two grenade launchers from the arsenal. If you ask the soldiers to help bring a few more shells, you will definitely blow the Japanese and puppet troops in the East Gate upside down."

Tang Shengbo had seen the strength of the firepower team of the reconnaissance team, and was comparable to the Japanese artillery. With their help, he had a greater chance of winning the East Gate. He immediately agreed: "Then let's do that!"

Compared with the Japanese Punishment Guard Command when Major Asakawa was in charge, the two days were obviously much deserted.

If it weren't for the only mobile unit in the city stationed here, the command center would probably not have been able to come up with ten Japanese.

At 11 o'clock in the evening, except for a few Japanese on duty and guarding, most of them, including the gendarmerie captain, slept in the barracks.

Wang Tieshan led two assault teams and sniper teams to hide behind a courtyard wall fifty meters away from the entrance of the command department. The sniper team lay on the roof next to it to provide fire cover for the assault team.

Although the assault team's marksmanship is not as good as the sniper team, as the elite selected by the entire team, no matter how bad it is, it is not much worse.

All six commandos were flat and aimed at the guards and machine gunners at the command department entrance.

Wang Tieshan stared at his watch and waited for the arrival of the general attack moment.
