The sky is getting gloomy, and waves of fishy wind are blowing from outside Meiling Town, which seems to indicate that heavy rain is coming!
Meiling Town, which used to be lively, is now completely silent. Except for the Japanese soldiers patrolling back and forth on the streets, not a single Chinese person can be seen.
Before the Japanese army came to attack Meiling Town, Xu Minghan and Zhu Daguang sent people to mobilize all the people in Meiling Town and emptied the town's reserves, leaving nothing for the Japanese.
Therefore, when the Japanese entered the city, they thought it was a military fortress where no common people had ever lived.
During the search in Meiling Town, the "little gifts" prepared by the Yanhuang Army in advance made the Japanese suffer a lot. There were mines and booby traps everywhere.
Small.
In this way, it took them a day and a night to clear two-thirds of the entire town, and the remaining one-third of the courtyard was not searched. It's not that these devils are not in a hurry, but because there are too many ambushes.
, if you are not careful, your life may be in danger.
Although a mine-sweeping team was equipped, the mines and booby traps of the Yanhuang Army were all made of special alloy shells, which could not be detected with ordinary metal mine detectors. As a result, more than half of the Japanese mine-sweeping team was killed and no detection was possible.
Throw out a thunder.
In a fearful mood, the Japanese soldiers spent the day like a year, and finally it was time for lunch, when they felt a little more relaxed.
However, it was destined that they would not be able to eat today. As soon as they picked up their rice bowls, the shrill assembly whistle sounded.
All the Japanese soldiers, including the Japanese officers, stopped holding the bowls and chopsticks in their hands, put their rice bowls on the table, and then rushed towards their rifles.
Groups of Japanese soldiers rushed out of their respective temporary camps and ran towards the square in Meiling Town. They knew that since the assembly horn was blown at this time, it meant that something had happened, so no one was delayed.
.
In this regard, I have to say that the discipline of the Japanese troops is very good. With so many people, no one was dragging their feet, and they quickly gathered in the square!
The commander of the Sakai Division stood in the square and looked at the soldiers gathered here, and he couldn't help but feel a little excited.
Those young faces, those young people full of vigor, it seems that they can see what they looked like when they were young, when they were so high-spirited and high-spirited.
But as time goes by, the sharpness of his youth has been worn away, replaced by smoothness and sophistication, and he seems to have become a different person.
At this time, the commander of the Panasonic Brigade had already assembled the team and came to him and said loudly, "Division Commander, the Panasonic Brigade has been assembled. Please give the order."
Commander Sakai nodded, then came to the soldiers, and said loudly, "Children, you are all outstanding sons and daughters of the Japanese Empire. For the sake of the prosperity of the empire and future generations, you are willing to travel across mountains and rivers to fight in China. I
So proud of you for arriving.”
The Japanese soldiers in the square were silent. Their eyes were focused on the commander of the Sakai Division, listening to his words, and they could see that they were a little excited.
"I believe the empire will not forget your sacrifices. Fight bravely, warriors of the empire." Commander Sakai shouted loudly, waving his arms at the same time, "Let's go."
"Hai!" All the Japanese soldiers responded in unison, then turned around in their respective order and walked along the street toward the outside of Meiling Town.
At the same time, the other two regiments that came to support have also been assembled. They will divide into two groups with the Panasonic Brigade and rush to the valley at the same time to rescue the two surrounded brigades.
The reason why so many troops were dispatched at the same time was that the commander of the Sakai Division not only planned to rescue the two surrounded brigades, but also planned to kill Xu Minghan and others in one fell swoop.
Sakai guessed that this was a plan to encircle a point for reinforcements, so he simply used a trick. On the one hand, he sent Matsushita and his people to support, and at the same time, he secretly mobilized two regiments and Nagashima Tanigawa's brigade to form a second encirclement from the outside.
, just waiting for the ambush troops of the Yanhuang Legion to arrive.
This is called the mantis stalking the cicada, with the oriole behind!
As the troops left one after another, there were not many Japanese troops left in Meiling Town, which was about a squadron. In addition, there were 500 puppet troops left. However, these people protected the high-walled and dangerous Meiling Town.
It's enough. And tomorrow morning, the Japanese army will transfer a new brigade to garrison Meiling Town. At that time, Meiling Town will be unbreakable again.
As groups of Japanese soldiers were dispatched, the Yanhuang Legion ambushing outside Meiling Town also moved. They quickly rushed to the predetermined location to prepare for the encirclement and reinforcement operation.
Although Sakai had a good idea and prepared a counter-ambush, what he didn't expect was that this time the Yanhuang Army used not only the third brigade to deal with him, but also the second brigade of the first infantry division, as well as tens of thousands of local armed forces and militiamen.
, the total strength reached more than 20,000 people.
With so many troops, more than twice as many as the Japs, with very sophisticated weapons and equipment, and good combat qualities, the Japs' counter-ambush operation was destined to end in tragedy.
At this time, in the valley, the Japanese troops and the puppet troops were at war with each other, facing each other tit for tat, and the situation was about to break out.
The cause of this incident was food!
After hearing from the ordering soldier that Jin Shaoshan had food in his hand but did not contribute anything, the two captains became furious. In their eyes, these puppet soldiers were just dogs they raised. How could the owner be hungry and the dogs be full?
Of.
Therefore, the two captains discussed and sent a squadron to the puppet camp to ask them to hand over the food.
The squadron leader who led the team rushed outside the puppet camp aggressively. With a wave of his hand, the Japanese soldiers blocked the camp door with a roar, then mounted their machine guns, and then the squadron leader led his men into the camp.
I don't know what happened. None of the puppet soldiers dared to come forward. They all hid behind and watched the movement. Someone hurried in and told Jin Shaoshan.
In the tent, Jin Shaoshan was drinking the soju he brought, eating fragrant stewed chicken legs, and humming a tune with his legs crossed, as comfortable as he wanted.
The Japanese were lightly armed when they came, but Jin Shaoshan didn't listen to that. He told his puppet soldiers not to leave anything behind, so now he had nothing to worry about, and he didn't have to worry about how long he would be trapped.
Anyway, Jin Shaoshan felt that even if the Japanese were defeated, he could still surrender to the Yanhuang Army, and maybe he could become a regiment leader or something like that. As far as he knew, there were many bandits who had joined the Yanhuang Army and held high positions, calling the wind and rain.
Awesome.
Just when he was happily eating and drinking, there was a commotion outside the door, and then someone ran in rolling and crawling, and fell in front of his table.
Jin Shaoshan's interest was completely ruined by the visitors. He slammed the table angrily and shouted, "Er scoundrel, are you tired of life? You haven't seen me drinking. Why are you here?"
The puppet soldier named Er Leizi put his hat on his head and said with a panicked look, "Captain, it's not good, the Japanese have sealed the door."
Jin Shaoshan sat up with a sigh, put down his wine glass, and asked hurriedly, "What's going on? Please tell me in detail."
Er Laizi shook his head, "Captain, we don't know either. We don't know what happened, but a group of Japanese came. They blocked the camp and set up machine guns. The brothers were all frightened."
.”
Jin Shaoshan didn't speak. He lowered his head and thought for a while before raising his head. "It seems that the news has leaked out. The devils know that we have food here, and they are here to steal it."
"What should we do? How about giving them some?" Er Leizi was frightened and said from the side.
Jin Shaoshan's eyes widened and he cursed, "You coward, if you give me once, they will come and ask for it a second time. Sooner or later, I will let them ask for it. If I don't give it, I won't give you a bone."
As he spoke, Jin Shaoshan stood up, grabbed the cannon box on the table next to him and inserted it into his waist, then stepped out of the tent and walked towards the door.
The squadron leader led his people into the puppet army camp, then stood at the gate and shouted to the puppet army, "Go and call Jin Shaoshan out."
The puppet soldiers did not dare to offend him, so some people ran in to report, and the rest gathered around the gate.
"I wonder what Taijun wants to do with me?" At this moment, a voice sounded behind the puppet soldiers, and then the puppet soldiers flashed to both sides, and Jin Shaoshan walked over boldly, following behind him
Several of his best buddies had guns stuck in their waists, and they stared at the Japanese soldiers on the opposite side with savage expressions.
Seeing Jin Shaoshan coming out, the Japanese squadron leader immediately turned his target to him, took two steps forward, then held the handle of the command knife and said, "Captain Jin, it is reported that you have food in your hand, right?"
?”
"Which bastard said this? It's just a false accusation against me. Taijun, don't believe it. This person just sees me as loyal to Taijun, so he probably did something bad." Jin Shaoshan looked sad and looked like he was being betrayed.
With a look of injustice on his face, he cried out loudly.
Unexpectedly, the Japanese squadron leader didn't say anything. Jin Shaoshan sealed the door first and simply denied it. This made him really annoyed and he couldn't help but snorted, "Captain Jin, someone has already reported this matter to everyone."
The captain has reported it, so you better not deny it and hand over the food."
"Taijun, no, really no, I swear to God, no." Jin Shaoshan never believed in this stuff, so he just opened his mouth and had no intention of fulfilling it anyway.
The Japanese squadron leader got a little angry. He stretched out his hand to push away the puppet soldiers in front of him and walked towards Jin Shaoshan's tent. "Since Captain Jin said there is no such thing, I will go and check it out."
Jin Shaoshan couldn't help being shocked when he saw it. He turned around and stood in front of him, and then said, "Stop, Taijun, don't you think it's too much?"
"Baga, you are just one of our dogs, what qualifications do you have to bargain with me?" The Japanese squadron leader was repeatedly denied face by Jin Shaoshan. He became angry and raised his hand to slap Jin Shaoshan in the face.
A fierce light flashed in Jin Shaoshan's eyes, he raised his arm and grabbed his arm, and then twisted it violently, "You are really treating me like a dish instead of serving his grandmother."
With an ouch, he twisted his arms and pinned the Japanese squadron leader to the ground. He couldn't move his body and could only curse, "Baga, you are going to rebel, you are dead."
At the same time, the Japanese soldiers he brought raised their guns and pointed them at Jin Shaoshan, while Jin Shaoshan's puppet troops did not hesitate and raised their guns and pointed them at them.
