Kitashirakawa was almost mad at Ito. It was too dark, so he sent out flashlights and horseshoe lanterns. What was the use of them?
He just said, why he felt uneasy, it turned out to be Ito, a fool, who didn't care about the changes in the weather.
Although the night is dark, the difference between having moonlight and without moonlight is huge. This is a matter of visual range.
For example, if there is moonlight and a person's visual range is thirty to fifty meters, in the absence of moonlight, his visual range will be reduced to between ten and fifteen meters, or even shorter.
This is very detrimental to the defense, which is why Kitashirakawa is so angry.
Of course, it's not that Ito didn't know the powerful relationship between this, but he didn't have the necessary military supplies on hand. Even searchlights, they only brought four this time, one for each of the four city gates.
Then the only other lighting equipment left is the flashlight and the horseshoe lamp that can be found.
Ito thought for a while and said helplessly: "Sir, our lighting equipment is insufficient and we cannot cover everything."
Kitashirakawa sneered and said disdainfully: "Ito, Ito, your work style is too rigid. You don't use so many lighting equipment, but you tell me that there is not enough lighting equipment?"
Kitashirakawa was pointing away, but Ito was shocked when he saw it, because Kitashirakawa wanted to burn down the house and light up the whole Bengbu.
But this method has great disadvantages. Although those houses belong to the Chinese, if they are burned, they will be burned. But don’t forget, they are also in the city now. And it is windy tonight. If there is a fire in the city, the central government will be there.
They, then there would be no need for the enemy to invade, and they would all be burned to death in the city.
At this time, Taro Aso also realized it, and quickly said to Ito: "Your Majesty the Prince means to pick up those single-family houses with no other combustibles around them and burn them to increase lighting for our imperial army. In this way,
, we not only avoided a fire in the city, but also did not give our enemies an opportunity to take advantage of it. Hehe, senior, is this what you mean?"
After saying that, Taro Aso bowed to Kitashirakawa and asked humbly for instructions.
Kitashirakawa is very satisfied. He likes Taro Aso who is both smart and flattering. Otherwise, why would he go all the way to Changzhou to save Taro Aso? He doesn't even bother to look at a person who has no value to him.
Take a look.
So Kitashirakawa nodded and said: "Yes, what Aso-kun said is what I meant. Ito, your understanding is far inferior to Aso-kun, isn't it?"
"Hey, I'm ashamed!"
Ito bowed and apologized, and then followed Kitashirakawa's order to find single-family houses that were not adjacent to each other and set them on fire to increase the lighting in the city.
The little devil took action quickly and divided into several teams to search for houses that could be used as light sources.
···············
At the same time, Duanwu and Chen Shusheng were avoiding the Japanese checkpoints, walking through the alley and heading towards the Nancheng. They wanted to seize the Nancheng gate and let the sharp knives from outside the city come in, so as to open a gap through the Nancheng gate and kill them in one fell swoop.
Defeat Ito's unit in the city, or wipe them all out in the city.
Of course, this is just an idea. It is almost impossible to eliminate the Ito Alliance. What's more, during the Dragon Boat Festival, they only attacked the south gate, leaving the other three gates for the Japanese just to let the Japanese escape.
Because he wanted to eat these devils, Dragon Boat Festival did not have such good teeth.
Or, if his independent regiment is here, he may have this idea, because the independent regiment's firepower is strong enough, and in a street fight with the Japs, his automatic weapons alone will have an absolute advantage.
But at this time, his main forces were the Sichuan Army and the Northeast Army. Although these two armies fought bravely, their weapons and equipment were poor.
Even though the Dragon Boat Festival supplemented their weapons and equipment, most of the military's weapons are still the original rifles.
More than half of Wang Tong's regiment still uses Liao Shisan.
This Liao 13 is also a 79 rifle, which is on the same level as Hanyang Zaoneng. There is no comparison with the Zhongzheng rifle. The one used by the Sichuan Army is even worse. Many people are still using the old style with smooth rifling.
Bottle.
The Type 38 rifle given to them by the little devil at Dragon Boat Festival was treated as a treasure by them.
Therefore, with this kind of firepower, if Ito's unit can be defeated, the Dragon Boat Festival will be over, let alone completely annihilated.
As for Wang Tong and Lu Jian, they still wanted to attack the city with such weapons and equipment, which was simply to kill the Japanese.
Therefore, Dragon Boat Festival bypassed the frontal attack and instead adopted a night attack to end the battle.
At this time, Duanwu and Chen Shusheng were proceeding as planned, but unexpectedly the little devil suddenly became restless.
Chen Shusheng said: Have they been discovered?
Duanwu shook his head and said: "No, if the Japs find us, it should be when we fly into the city. We have been in the city for so long, and if the Japs suddenly search around, something else must have happened. Let's take a look."
With that said, Duanwu and Chen Shusheng hid, and at this moment, a team of about five Japanese soldiers ran past from the street outside the alley, and one of them, an officer who should be a Japanese soldier, ordered: "Go and kill the Japanese soldiers over there."
The house is on fire. You two come with me and we will light the house over there."
At this time, Duanwu understood that it was too dark and the Japanese were afraid that someone would come into the city at night, so they wanted to burn down the houses to light up the whole city.
Duanwu said: "We have to move faster. These little devils are different from the little devils we encountered before. They are very cautious. If we hadn't come in early, it would have been difficult to enter the city at this time."
"Tuanzuo, there are little devils on the road now, how are we going to go?"
Chen Shusheng frowned slightly as he looked at the little devils constantly passing through the street.
Duanwu smiled and said: "The more times like this, the easier it is. Come with me."
Duanwu said to follow him, and then took Chen Shusheng and followed the two little devils.
The two little devils stood in a yard and looked around. They were looking to see if the house burned down, whether it would affect nearby combustibles.
Ito specifically explained this when giving the order, because once there was a fire and the whole city burned down, they would not have to wait for the enemy to come, but would become roast suckling pigs one by one in advance.
So the two Japs were looking around, but seeing that there were no combustibles nearby and that they would not affect other houses, they got together again and prepared to enter and burn the house.
Unexpectedly, at this moment, the mouths of the two men were suddenly covered, and then with a click, the necks of the two Japs were broken.
The little devil's body fell slowly, and Duanwu ordered: "Old Chen, change your clothes quickly."
"Yes, group seat."
Chen Shusheng responded and started to take off the Japanese's clothes, but Duanwu did not move at this time, because he was always wearing the uniform of a Japanese major!
