Takeshita Shun fiddled with the bullets on the ground.
He loaded the last bullet into the magazine and threw it aside.
He picked up another empty magazine and picked up the bullets from the ground.
With a clang, the bullet in his hand fell to the ground. Takeshita Jun looked at Zhou Weiguo who still didn't move away from him; "I know what you want to say, leave me twenty people, with the best marksmanship, equipped with two guns
Machine gun. Two mortars.”
"Okay." Zhou Weiguo didn't wait for Zhou Weiguo to finish speaking, and directly patted the desk.
What he wanted Jun Takeshita to do was to lead a group of people to intercept and kill in the middle, confusing the retreating Japanese troops, so that they could take advantage of the situation and obtain more supplies.
Dusk is ten minutes.
Zhou Weiguo set out with the troops of Qingfeng Village. Because of his good marksmanship, Xiao Ya and twenty brothers including Li Wu, Xu Guangrong and Cao Ying followed Zhou Weiguo.
The people left behind in Qingfeng Village are Zhao Shoutian, Chen Yi, and Zhu Ziming's wife. The three of them and thirty people are guarding the home, or the remaining supplies, to prevent the people below from looting.
As for the safety here, Qingfeng Village has not been exposed yet, so there is no need to worry about Japanese troops coming.
Marching all the way at night and resting during the day, it took nearly three days. Zhou Weiguo led his people into a forest outside Laiyang City.
Taking the telescope from Zhu Ziming, Zhou Weiguo looked at Laiyang City in the eleven o'clock direction.
Laiyang has now opened its city gates, and sporadic people are coming in and out, but they will undergo the strictest inspection when entering.
Zhu Ziming suggested bringing someone in, but Zhou Weiguo immediately rejected this idea.
He believed that people could enter, but if they entered without weapons, they would be versatile.
"Brother, let everyone rest peacefully. We will take action in the middle of the night." Zhou Weiguo handed the telescope to a brother next to him, turned around and lay on the ground and took a look at the blue sky.
There are not many people in Laiyang, but he has brought a lot of people this time, and there are also mortars. When the shells and machine guns are fired, Konoe Wen will naturally think that this force and equipment are not weak.
Besides.
I still have two to three thousand firecrackers.
It was Xiao Ya's attention that came over with firecrackers.
This feint attack requires fierce firepower, but there are only so many things in Qingfeng Village, so it is impossible to make too much noise.
The machine gun of a unit was the standard for the Japanese army to identify the number of people. Since there were not enough machine guns, firecrackers were used to make up for it. Throwing them into iron barrels, the sound was mixed with the gunfire and could not be heard.
It will get dark soon.
Zhou Weiguo looked at the night sky through the woods.
Stars appear in the sky.
"Brother." Zhu Ziming stepped on the withered grass and came to Zhou Weiguo, squatting down and shaking the two guns in his hands; "It's dark, how can we fight?"
Zhou Weiguo took out a cigarette. His current position was on a slope and could not be seen from Laiyang City.
Lighting the cigarette, Zhou Weiguo took a puff and looked at Zhu Ziming: "Brother, you take fifty brothers and a machine gun to the west gate, and also bring firecrackers. When I start fighting here, you will start over there.
, use more firecrackers and don't waste too much shells. We want to put pressure on the other side, not really attack Laiyang."
"Okay." Zhu Ziming heard the situation clearly and left with fifty people.
Zhou Weiguo waited for Zhu Ziming to walk for nearly ten minutes, then climbed up from the side and motioned for the brothers to move forward to a position.
"Stay the artillery barrage here. I'll adjust it later. The machine gunner will follow me."
This group of people are all bandits. They can't find favorable terrain and just do whatever comes their way. Then the casualties will increase exponentially.
Zhou Weiguo needs to find a good position and preparation position for the machine gunner.
After figuring out the positions of these machine guns, Zhou Weiguo came to the mortars.
Takeshita Shun took away two, and here are three artillery pieces.
Zhou Weiguo adjusted his position, asked someone to load the ammunition with No. 3 powder, and took a 38 rifle from the side.
He raised his hand and aimed at a second lieutenant on the city wall, aiming slightly.
Zhou Weiguo breathed a sigh of relief and pulled the trigger.
Snapped……
The sound of gunfire broke the silence of Laiyang.
The officer fell headlong.
The artillery around them also launched a bombardment on Laiyang.
The first thing to bear the brunt was the heavy machine gun position at the city gate.
Chug tug tug... tug tug tug...
Gunshots began to ring out soon after.
There was a loud noise outside Laiyang City.
The sound of shelling and the roar of machine guns woke up Fumi Konoe, who had just fallen asleep.
Konoe Fumi jumped out of bed and tilted his head in confusion, listening to the situation outside.
The sound of chaotic footsteps mixed with the adjutant's shouts sounded outside the door.
"Your Excellency, General, Laiyang is under enemy attack."
Konoe Fumi heard it and was already getting dressed.
After picking up the hat, he said nothing and went directly to the war room.
The staff in the war room were already doing research. When Konoe came to the map, the staff next to him pointed at the map: "Your Excellency, the South Gate and the West Gate are both under attack."
"Approximately how many people are there?" Konoe Fumi wanted to know the other party's situation.
It is good for mobilizing and deploying troops.
The staff officer didn't know if what he said was right.
He lowered his head and looked at the two places circled outside Laiyang City; "I'm afraid, there won't be another group."
The strength of a regiment. How can there be the strength of a regiment?
Are the soldiers of the empire vegetarian?
This can allow the troops of this regiment to advance here.
Speaking of which, Zhou Weiguo of Laiyang, apart from the Hutou Mountain group, can still produce a regiment.
But……
Konoe Fumi just listened to the opponent's firepower configuration.
There are no less than three mortars and quite a few machine guns. As for the rifles, they are very confusing and cannot be distinguished.
Judging from these, it is probably the strength of a regiment.
"They came out of nowhere."
Konoe Fumi crawled in front of the map, this question.
He needs to figure it out.
The staff officer slowly plotted a route from the area where the enemy's main force might appear.
This route is very remote, either in the woods or on a trail.
"Your Majesty General, if they were marching at night, our investigators would not have discovered them."
In fact, what he wants to say is that even in the daytime, it is not easy to find.
The places where imperial soldiers patrol are mainly official roads leading to various places, such as deserted places with ravines.
From somewhere else.
Konoe Fumi estimated the possibility.
His intuition told him that this situation was possible.
"Let the troops in the city block their attack. In addition, tell the captain of the gendarmerie to send some troops to the city to assist in the defense, and send people to strictly patrol the city to prevent the infiltrated enemies from taking the opportunity to disrupt Laiyang City."
"Hi." A messenger on the side bowed his head and went out.
Konoe Fumi listened to the situation outside, and as he became more and more fierce, he decided to go to the south gate where the attack was the most intense.
He has to go up there and boost his morale.
The order from the brigade headquarters was quickly sent to the gendarmerie.
Naturally, the military police captain would not let go of such an opportunity to perform meritorious service. He left Fujita in charge of patrolling, and led his troops to the south gate where the opponent's attack was strongest.
Fujita looked at the military police captain who was leaving. He could only assign tasks alone and let his subordinates patrol along the route.
But he poured a cup of tea, and while sitting in the office, he lightly tapped the desk in front of him and fell into deep thought.
