At the Baipogou Independent Regiment Headquarters, Kong Jie was thinking about something with his brows furrowed.
The deputy commander-in-chief and Brigadier Chen also looked very ugly. They did not expect the Japanese to react so radically. Faced with the assassination operation that had been carried out by the special forces, not only did they not restrain themselves from massacring civilians, but they intensified their behavior.
"Captain... Huang Yu can really force Yoshio Shinozuka to put away his butcher knife. Why do I feel that their assassination operation not only failed to achieve the effect, but also had the opposite effect? Why don't we stop them first to avoid further angering Yoshio Shinozuka? Kill more people in the base area!" Li Wensheng analyzed with worry on his face.
Kong Jie was silent.
He had indeed believed in the method proposed by Huang Yu before.
But after an assassination operation, the actual effect did not meet expectations as the chief of staff said.
Could it be that his judgment was really wrong? Yoshio Shinozuka really planned to ignore the safety of the overseas Chinese, resist the pressure, and continue to massacre the people in the base area...
The deputy commander suddenly interjected: "Even if we call Huang Yu back... Yoshio Shinozuka will still continue to massacre the people in the base area!"
"They want to use this kind of massacre to disrupt our base area, make people in the base area panic, fall into turmoil, and then fall into civil strife, so as to consume our war potential!"
"As for why Huang Yu's assassination operation didn't achieve the effect of killing to stop killing... it's probably because Yoshio Shinozuka hasn't felt the pain yet!"
"Perhaps Yoshio Shinozuka hasn't felt the huge threat Huang Yu may pose to him yet!"
"Don't be anxious, let's wait a little longer..."
"Yoshio Shinozuka is, after all, the commander of the First Army of the Japanese North China Front. He has 100,000 elite troops at his disposal. It is impossible for him to abandon his original battle plan just because of the death of a few foreigners!"
Brigadier Chen patted Li Wensheng on the shoulder and said: "I also agree with the chief's analysis... Don't worry, you and Kong Jie!"
"Taiyuan is the headquarters of the Japanese First Army. It is heavily garrisoned and the enemy's situation is complex..."
"Huang Yu is under greater pressure than us, and it will definitely take a long time to inflict serious damage. What you need to do is to help him stabilize his rear, thwart Shinozuka Yoshio's plan to disrupt our base through massacre, and buy him more time. "
The deputy commander nodded and said: "Brigadier Chen's thoughts are my thoughts...Kong Jie, don't feel any pressure, let alone any burden. Massacring the common people is the devil's usual method to deal with us. The only way is to solve the problem fundamentally and let Shinozuka Yoshi Only when men massacre the people will they feel scared, so that the people in the base area can completely get rid of the threat and can produce with peace of mind."
Kong Jie nodded and accepted the order: "Please rest assured, chief, I will protect the people in the base area and buy Huang Yu more time!"
"The culprits responsible for the massacre of the common people are all the action teams sent by Yoshio Shinozuka to our base area. If we kill them, the safety of the villagers will be guaranteed in a short time!"
"I will go and supervise the troops now and seize the time to encircle and suppress the Japanese action team..."
"At the same time, additional troops will be dispatched to patrol the blockade to prevent Yoshio Shinozuka from infiltrating the third wave of action teams in the base area...
Duan Peng's survivability and investigation ability in the city are really not bragging. It took only two days to figure out the deployment of Japanese and puppet troops in the overseas Chinese area, and even found out the Japanese troops hidden in the overseas residents' homes.
"Captain...he Taiyang Company specializes in the pharmaceutical business...he is very powerful in Taiyuan City, and even an ordinary little Japanese major would not dare to provoke him easily!" Duan Peng reported while recalling the news he had learned.
"With the support of the plutocrats behind him and the military giving him some face, he monopolized all the pharmaceutical business in Taiyuan in just half a year. It can be said that he is making money every day."
"Preliminary statistics show that in the past few years, four to five hundred ordinary people in Taiyuan City alone have died at his hands, either directly or indirectly..."
"If you include the people who died because of him outside Taiyuan City, the total number must be more than a thousand, and it is not an exaggeration to describe him as an executioner!"
"After we alerted the snake, Hetai Yangxing, in addition to the previous thugs, warriors, and escorts, also hid a full infantry squad in the yard, with a total of more than a hundred people..."
"The vigilance is much higher than before. If we try to sneak into a foreign company quietly like before and end the battle with cold weapons, the possibility of success is almost zero!"
Huang Yu laid the floor plan of Taihe Yang Company in front of him. He recorded the enemy situation on it while listening. After thinking for a minute, he ordered: "Since the Japanese won't give us a chance to sneak attack on them, then we will attack by force..."
"Although the foreign company has a hidden infantry squad, they are basically equipped with long rifles and light machine guns. They are not suitable for close combat and street fighting!"
"We suddenly launch a close-range attack. We will definitely end the battle in a short time and take down Taihe Bank!"
"The only problem is getting help..."
"There are three other foreign companies surrounding Taihe Foreign Company, each of which has a small garrison..."
"After our attack begins, three infantry squads will definitely send troops to encircle us and eliminate us in Taihe Yanghang!"
"This means that we must move fast enough, and we must divide part of our troops for reinforcements to buy enough time for the raiding force to act!"
"Call Zhang Weiguo here immediately... Let's study the action plan carefully and try to launch an attack tomorrow night. We can take down Taihe Bank in one battle and give Yoshio Shinozuka a serious shock!"
At one o'clock in the morning, the busiest streets and alleys in Taiyuan City also became quiet, and the expatriate area also returned to tranquility. Except for patrols that popped up from time to time, there was no one around.
"Boom..." An explosion suddenly sounded in the immigrant area, and the splashing fire could be clearly seen hundreds of meters away.
The expatriate community came under attack and was under fire.
The Japanese and puppet troops patrolling the streets were like a group of hungry wolves that smelled the smell of blood and immediately rushed towards the explosion point...
There were also Japanese soldiers who wanted to find artillery positions and destroy the mortars that were firing, but their opponents only fired one shot, and it was still at night, and the mortar shells made almost no sound when flying. Caught off guard, no matter how powerful the artilleryman is, he will never be able to find the specific location of the artillery position.
They could only scurry around like a headless fly near the explosion point, searching for artillery positions aimlessly.
"Rumble..."
The explosion sounded again, and the splashing fire still appeared in the immigrant area. Finally, the Japanese determined the specific location of the mortar position.
"About one thousand meters to the northeast...the enemy's mortars are hidden there. Go over there immediately and kill them!" shouted a Japanese captain.
More than a hundred Japanese soldiers nearby rushed towards that direction at a very fast speed.
More than a hundred Japanese soldiers rushed out from the two foreigners closest to the artillery position, running over with guns in hand and howling.
"Rumble..."
The explosion sounded again, and the splashing fire resounded in another courtyard of the residential area. The Japanese captain who was rushing to the artillery position was suddenly blinded.
Because the subordinates around him told him that the artillery position that had just opened fire was located to the southwest of them, which was exactly opposite to their current direction of advance.
The captain had to face three choices.
The artillery position in the northeast was fake. His subordinates mistook it. The real artillery position was in the southwest. They immediately turned around and headed toward the southwest.
The second choice is that the artillery position in the northeast is real and the artillery position in the southwest is fake. Continue to kill in the northeast.
There is also a third choice: the enemy has deployed two artillery positions in Taiyuan City and fired at the same time, making the Taiyuan garrison focus on the head rather than the tail...
In the end, he chose to turn around and kill in the southwest direction.
This direction was judged by several subordinates at the same time, so there must be no problem!
As for the artillery positions in the northeast, we can only mobilize troops from other expatriates' homes and divide some forces to kill them.
When the little devils in the immigrant area were in chaos due to shelling, the sound of "ta da da..." submachine gun fire suddenly sounded outside an immigrant's home.
"An enemy is attacking us...fight back immediately..." The Japanese team leader who was hiding in the yard immediately drew his command knife and pointed in the direction of the gunfire.
The Japanese reacted quickly. Some people were lying on the ground, while others were squatting half-crouched on the ground, holding rifles and light guns and firing at the place where the gunshots were fired.
"Boom boom boom..."
Several grenades crossed the courtyard wall and smashed into the group of Japs. In the splashing fire, at least five little Japs fell in a pool of blood.
In another foreign company not far from the exchange of fire, the Japanese team leader had climbed onto the roof and was observing the battle situation with a telescope to determine whether to reinforce the battlefield.
"Captain... the firefight is getting thicker and louder, even grenades and hand grenades are being used... there must be a lot of enemies there... If we don't get past, they will run away..." Chief Cao on the side expressed his thoughts.
"Rumble..."
There was a more violent explosion, and I suddenly remembered that the fireball rising into the sky was higher than the flames caused by the explosion of the artillery shell, and then I saw a big hole in the wall of the foreign bank...
"Da da da... bang bang bang... bang bang bang... snap bang bang..."
The sound of firefights coming from the battlefield became thicker and thicker, and it sounded as if the sneak attackers had reached the entrance of the hole they had just blasted.
The squad leader decided not to wait any longer, jumped off the roof and started giving orders: "The troops will assemble immediately to reinforce the battlefield..."
"Bring all the equipment together, surround the sneak attackers on the battlefield as quickly as possible, and kill them..."
Not far away, two other Japanese soldiers from a foreign company also rushed out of the yard and formed a fighting formation and headed straight for the battlefield.
The little devils in Hetai Bank did not move. They were separated from the battlefield by a foreign bank, including two foreign banks who were reinforcing the battlefield.
"Captain, all the kidnappers from the two foreign banks in the east and west have been transferred away by a detachment. Only the one in the south still has an infantry squad..." Duan Peng ran to Huang Yu to report, his eyes full of anxiety and holding a hand in his hand. Holding a submachine gun, he wanted to rush into the foreign company now.
"Attack as planned..." Huang Yu ordered directly.
"Ta-ta-da...dong-dong-dong..." Shots started to be fired from the other two directions of Hetai Yanghang.
The Japs and thugs hiding in the yard immediately retaliated, firing machine guns outside to prevent the other party from approaching the foreign bank.
"Let's go..."
Duan Peng led the investigation team and the third assault team out of the hiding spot at the same time. Some were holding submachine guns, while others were holding grenades, and like ghosts, they moved toward the unattacked wall of the foreign bank.
