Chapter 25: Seizing the City Gate
Lao Liu did not deceive Qin Yangming.
After bringing Duan Peng and others back to Linyuan County, he immediately found Captain Wu and ordered him to arrange Duan Peng and others to defend the east gate.
At the same time, all the other soldiers at the East Gate were Captain Wu’s confidants.
After learning about the conditions offered by the Eighth Route Army, Captain Wu made up his mind to surrender to the Eighth Route Army.
After learning that Duan Peng and others had completely occupied the city gate, Qin Yangming waited patiently.
Prepare to wait for night to fall.
After night fell, the artillery towers outside Linyuan County and the puppet troops on the defense line turned against the enemy one after another.
Some puppet soldiers pretended to be close to the Japanese soldiers, and when they got close to them, they suddenly pulled out their pistols and killed them.
"Brothers, do you want to die with the devils?!"
"I have contacted the commander of the Eighth Route Army, Li, and he promised me,
As long as we surrender and hand over our stronghold, he will forgive us for being traitors!"
"Do you want to bear the stigma of being a traitor for the rest of your life?!"
"Think about your family, think about your children, wife, don't forget who gave you the land!"
"Who protected your wife, children and parents from being bullied by bandits and the devils?"
"It's fine if we don't protect our children and our parents.
Are we going to go to war with the people who protect our parents and children? ! "
Under the persuasion of the political workers sent to various areas by the New First Regiment,
With the help of some surrendered soldiers from the puppet army,
The puppet troops in most areas laid down their weapons and chose to surrender.
Even in some areas, the puppet troops did not wait for the New 1st Regiment to attack.
I chopped off all the devils' heads first.
Then he led the team to quickly find the Eighth Route Army and prepare to attack the city together.
At this moment in the county town, the Japanese had no idea that all the outer positions had been captured by the Eighth Route Army, and still thought that the situation was still under their control.
Kameda Kkuma was even hugging a Japanese woman and drinking wine with several officers, talking about how they would be promoted after the New 1st Regiment was destroyed this time.
"Everyone, the New 1st Regiment is very powerful, very powerful. The reason why we were able to win is because of me and everyone here who fought bravely, risked our lives, and led the way..."
"Hahaha, sir, don't worry, we all understand. I'll toast you another glass of wine!"
"Da da da~"
Just as a captain picked up his glass of wine, rapid gunfire rang out in the county town.
Then gunshots began to be heard outside the command center.
"idiot!"
"Someone, come here, what happened!"
Kameda Kicuma stood up angrily and shouted angrily.
A dusty Japanese soldier rushed into the room and said, "Major, the Locust Army has rebelled, and Commander Wu is leading his men to attack our headquarters!"
"Nani?"
Kameda Kkuma listened to the Japanese's report with disbelief on his face.
He never expected that the Locust Association Army, whom he regarded as dogs of the Locust Army, would actually rebel.
"Bagayalu, how dare he, how dare he, come on, organize the troops to fight back!"
"We must defeat these traitors before the Eighth Route Army attacks the city!"
"Catch that Wu guy alive, I'm going to kill his entire family!"
"Yes!"
Although they drank alcohol because they underestimated the enemy, these Japanese officers still had basic military qualities and did not become idiots.
Kameda Kkuma did not choose to escape, but chose to command his troops to fight back tenaciously.
As long as we hold on, the other troops in the city will rush to the headquarters.
With the help from both inside and outside, it was easy to defeat the puppet army led by Captain Wu.
By then, Linyuan County will still be under our control.
Of course, the premise of all this is that only Captain Wu led a small number of puppet troops to rebel, and the outer Eighth Route Army was not clear about the specific situation.
Instead of all the puppet troops rebelling and the Eighth Route Army attacking the city at the same time, Duan Peng led his men to kill the little devils on the city wall, and then the puppet troops opened the city gate under Duan Peng's order.
Seeing the city gate open, the soldiers of the vanguard camp, who had been prepared long ago, rushed towards the city wall at the fastest speed.
Then take over the defense line used by the Japanese to deal with the Eighth Route Army outside the city.
The weapons originally aimed at the outside of the city,
At this moment, they turned their guns towards the Japanese soldiers who came to support them after they realized that something was wrong.
The devils didn't expect that
The puppet soldiers who were talking and laughing, even drinking and smoking together during the day seemed like a different person at night.
The puppet soldier who had been fawning on the Japanese suddenly pulled out a knife and stabbed them.
Otherwise, a few puppet soldiers would set up heavy machine guns and fire directly at the Japanese military camp.
The endurance brought by the Maxim heavy machine gun was fully demonstrated at this moment.
Zhang Dabiao and others outside the city heard the gunshots inside the city and directly ordered the troops to attack the city quickly.
When the puppet soldiers at the city gate discovered that the Eighth Route Army was attacking the city, they hurriedly opened the gate to let the Eighth Route Army in.
Later, under the leadership of the puppet army, the Eighth Route Army easily occupied all four city gates and quickly attacked the important areas of the Japanese in the city.
Kameda Kkuma, who was still waiting for troop support, couldn't hold on.
Duan Peng led the assault platoon and directly broke into the Japanese command post with the powerful firepower of the Type 92 infantry gun and submachine guns.
"Platoon Leader Duan, that is the highest commander of the Japanese in Linyuan County, Kameda Kkuma!"
After entering the command center, looking at the pile of corpses inside, Captain Wu recognized Kameda Kkuma, who had beaten him yesterday, at a glance.
In order to escape, Kameda Kkuma simply changed into an infantry uniform.
However, Duan Peng did not expect that the order he received was not to leave any Japanese alive, not to accept surrender, and to kill them all!
“Well, Captain Wu, you did a great job.
If you hadn't led your men to surround the Japanese headquarters first, these Japanese officers might have escaped."
"By the way, Platoon Leader Duan, my people have also captured a group of traitors that the Japanese transferred from other places. What do you think we should do with them?"
Captain Wu thought of the other group of puppet army officers he had captured.
Originally he wanted to kill those guys directly.
But thinking that the Eighth Route Army didn't seem to kill prisoners very often, he could only hand the person over to Duan Peng to deal with.
"Did those people surrender?"
"They refused to surrender until they ran out of ammunition. More than a dozen of my brothers died."
This is also the reason why Captain Wu wanted to kill the other party. Most of the soldiers he brought here were from the same hometown as him, and they were related to him.
Duan Peng didn't know what to do after listening to Captain Wu's words.
Although Qin Yangming said that he would show no mercy to those who resisted to the end, those guys have now been captured alive and are nominally prisoners.
The Eighth Route Army was not allowed to kill prisoners.
Duan Peng, who was thinking with his head down, saw the puppet army uniform he was wearing.
Suddenly I remembered that the Eighth Route Army was not allowed to kill prisoners, but now I was not wearing an Eighth Route Army uniform!
"Captain Wu, no one surrenders."
Then there was an explosion.
"Damn it, those traitor dogs still have a grenade on them!"
“I almost got blown to death by them when I went in!”
Captain Wu, who was standing by, was so angry at the dusty Duan Peng that he kicked the puppet soldier who was in charge of the body search.
"How the hell did you search me?!"
The puppet soldier who was kicked down covered his buttocks with a look of grievance on his face. He had obviously searched very carefully.
But when he saw Captain Wu's look later, he suddenly reacted and quickly admitted his mistake.
After dawn, all the Japanese soldiers in Linyuan County were wiped out. Except for some prisoners captured by Zhang Dabiao's first battalion, no one else was left alive!
Those diehard traitors were even visited one by one by Captain Wu and the Eighth Route Army.
The most heinous crimes will be shot on the spot!
After the people in Linyuan County had been frightened all night.
When I opened the door in the morning, I saw Eighth Route Army soldiers in blue-gray uniforms cleaning the streets.
After a night of fighting, there was still a lot of blood on the streets.
