Two puppet soldiers who were sleeping soundly with their rifles in their hands had their necks broken in their sleep. In a room more than ten meters behind them, Tang Cheng and two team members were already facing several people sleeping on the earthen bed. The puppet soldier raised the short sword in his hand. After more than a dozen breaths, the three men from Tangcheng, who smelled of blood, came out of the house. Captain Zhang also appeared outside the checkpoint outside the checkpoint with the villagers he had brought for help.
"Leave one person behind and stay here with them first. They will come in after we deal with the Japanese and puppet troops in the town and send out a signal." Not only did people come to the village to help, but they also drove large vehicles and moved It hasn't started yet, so Tang Cheng can only let them wait outside Zhangjiaji. After leaving a guerrilla to take care of these villagers, Tangcheng and the others began to advance into the town. The sky was already bright, but no one in the town had gone out yet, so their advance went smoothly.
The Japanese and puppet troops stationed in Zhangjiaji did not live together. The Japanese troops had a separate courtyard here as their garrison, while the puppet troops lived in the original town hall. According to Tang Cheng's prior plan, after entering Zhangjiaji, Tang Cheng took his team members and divided them into two teams with Captain Zhang and the others. Tang Cheng led his team members straight to the Japanese army's station, while Captain Zhang took the two light machine guns he had captured earlier and his guerrillas to the town hall where the puppet troops were staying.
Tang Cheng did not expect the guerrillas to kill the puppet troops. He just wanted Captain Zhang and the others to block the puppet troops in the town hall as much as possible to relieve some pressure on his side. A few minutes later, Tang Cheng and others who had appeared outside a courtyard stopped. After briefly observing the surrounding situation, Tang Cheng was the first to emerge from the street. Stepping on the shoulders of his team members, Tang Cheng slowly poked his head out to observe the situation in the yard.
It was still early at this moment, and although the sky was already getting brighter, in the Japanese army's yard, only the two cooks responsible for cooking got up. After climbing up the wall, Tang Cheng easily jumped into the yard. Behind him, the arresting team members also jumped down from the wall. Seeing Tang Cheng's gesture, the team members who had their feet on the ground each took out their pistols and moved forward quickly behind Tang Cheng. The yard where the Japanese troops were stationed was not very large, but it was divided into front and back yards.
Ordinary Japanese soldiers lived in the front yard, and the kitchen was also in the front yard. Several officers of the Japanese army lived in the backyard, as well as their arsenal and supply warehouse. Tangcheng did not deal with the Japanese officers first, but only assigned a team member to hold the assault rifle.
g blocked the archway between the front and back yards. And he led his men to kill the two breakfast cooks first, and then the Japanese soldiers who had not yet woken up. More than 40 Japanese soldiers lived in three rooms in the front yard. Tang Cheng did not disperse his team members, but cleaned up these Japanese soldiers room by room.
The cleaning of these Japanese soldiers went very smoothly. Only when cleaning the Japanese soldiers in the last room, one of the Japanese corps commanders suddenly woke up. Tang Cheng, who had been cautious all the time, quickly punched the guy on the head with quick eyesight, knocking him unconscious. Just when Tang Cheng and the others came out of the last room with the smell of blood, gunshots suddenly rang out from the town hall on the east side of the town. Tang Cheng, who secretly wanted to do something bad in his heart, hurriedly drew his pistol and ran towards the town hall not far from him. arch.
The Japanese officers who lived in the backyard had a lot of drinks at Zhang's house last night, so they were still in bed. The sudden gunfire from the direction of the town hall still woke them up. When Tang Cheng walked through the arch and entered the backyard, a Japanese officer wearing only pants and carrying a shirt in his hand was already walking quickly from a room in the backyard. out. When Tang Cheng saw the opponent, he had no intention of stopping. He raised his hand and fired a shot, killing the opponent directly.
The sound of gunshots was the signal. The team members who followed Tang Cheng into the backyard immediately rushed to all the rooms in the backyard with pistols in hand. The rapid and chaotic gunshots soon stopped. Tang Cheng left one team member here while he led the others to the town office to support Captain Zhang and the others. It was not only the Japanese soldiers who heard the gunshots, but also the residents of Zhangjiaji. However, they did not dare to go out and join in the fun. They just closed their doors and hid.
At the town hall, the guerrillas and the puppet troops were having a lively fight. If it weren't for the two captured light machine guns, Captain Zhang and the others might not have been able to withstand the attack of the puppet troops in the town hall. When Tang Cheng and his people arrived here, the guerrillas had already been wounded, but luckily no guerrillas were killed. "Lao Zhang, you immediately send someone to call the people in the village to move things to the Japanese army." As Tang Cheng spoke, his team members had already gone over and taken over the two light machine guns.
The shooter of the light machine gun was replaced, and the situation immediately changed. The puppet troops who had been fighting vigorously were immediately suppressed. Tang Cheng took people to the left side of the town hall. Using the short knife awarded by the system, he quickly dug two holes under the wall. Tang Cheng stuffed two grenades into them. After two consecutive explosions, a hole large enough for an adult man to crawl through appeared in the wall on the left side of the town hall. The puppet soldiers inside the town hall also noticed changes in the wall on the left side at this time.
But Tangcheng didn't give these puppet troops a chance at all, and threw a few grenades in through the wall. After the continuous explosions, Tangcheng was the first to get into the town hall through the hole in the wall. Because the changes in Tangcheng attracted the attention of most of the puppet troops in the town hall, the firepower at the main entrance was naturally weakened. . The two light machine guns blocking the main entrance of the town hall also seized the opportunity at this moment. The two light machine guns covered each other and slowly approached the gate of the town hall. Beside them, the guerrillas were also following.
Forming a pincer attack, Tangcheng and the others became more and more courageous in fighting. On the other hand, although the puppet army still had a numerical advantage, their marksmanship was so poor that they did not pose a substantial threat to Tangcheng and the others. The sound of gunfire soon changed from dense to sparse, and the Japanese troops had not yet arrived for reinforcements. These anxious puppet troops finally understood at this moment. The officers of the puppet army who were unable to support themselves were a little unable to suppress the puppet soldiers under their command. Seeing that more and more people on their side were dying, some finally began to shout surrender.
The first puppet soldier who chooses to surrender may become a target for those officers to kill chickens and monkeys. But if there are more soldiers who plan to surrender, even if those puppet army officers are unwilling, they will not dare to get angry with so many soldiers. Because if something goes wrong, they, the officers, will become the soldiers who choose to surrender and use it to exchange for a certificate of freedom. Seeing that the situation was improving, the guerrillas also shouted to surrender without killing. After a brief stalemate, the puppet soldiers who took the initiative to put down their weapons and chose to surrender squatted down in a large area and squatted in place.
"Collect their weapons and ammunition, and you can take care of the rest." Seeing that the situation was decided, Tang Cheng hurriedly explained, and took his people back to the Japanese camp. The villagers waiting outside the town had also been brought into the town by the guerrillas at this time. When Tangcheng and the others arrived at the Japanese camp, these villagers, under the command of the guerrillas, had already begun to move supplies from the backyard warehouse.
"Pack more explosives, grenades and cans. Also bring two light machine guns and more bullets." Tang Cheng stood in front of a donkey cart, looked at it carefully, and asked people to move a lot from the donkey cart. Weapons and ammunition. The guerrillas who directed the villagers to carry supplies just glanced casually and did not say anything to stop Tang Cheng and the others. When Captain Zhang decided to participate in this operation, he had already told his guerrillas in private that once the operation started, everything would be subject to Tang Cheng's arrangements.
Even if all the three donkey carts they brought from the village were used, there would be no way to take away all the weapons, ammunition and supplies here. The few things they intercepted in Tangcheng were simply not worth mentioning. Tangcheng had just prepared the weapons and ammunition they needed next. Captain Zhang, smelling like gunpowder smoke, walked over quickly with two guerrillas. "Old Zhang, I'm about to send someone to find you! You have to ask your people to speed up. Don't move any unimportant things!"
What Tang Cheng meant was that he wanted the guerrillas to pick out important things and take them away, but Captain Zhang misunderstood what Tang Cheng meant. Before Captain Zhang could speak, Tang Cheng reached out and pulled him to the side and whispered, "I'm going to take people to deal with the two strongholds outside the town. You guys, hurry up. I'll only give you one hour. You Don’t forget the rich man Zhang’s house. If the donkey cart is not enough, you can go to his house to borrow a carriage!” Tang Cheng’s last words made Captain Zhang’s eyes light up, and he thought that this was indeed a good idea.
Captain Zhang's pre-estimate of the situation went wrong. He did not expect that there was an arsenal and material warehouse here where the Japanese army lived. What troubles him most now is how to take away these arms and supplies. He came to Tangcheng for this purpose. Now that he was fine, Tang Cheng showed him the way to solve the problem. After watching Tang Cheng and the others leave, Captain Zhang led a few guerrillas and hurriedly went to Zhang's house.
There was a lot of commotion in Zhangjiaji, with machine gun fire and continuous explosions. The two Japanese and puppet military strongholds outside the town had already heard the commotion. However, the two hotshots placed here by Tangcheng blocked their way out of the stronghold. Seeing that the movement in the town had slowed down, the Japanese and puppet troops in the stronghold were extremely anxious. When Tang Cheng and his people arrived here, a white flag had already been displayed in one of the strongholds. After careful questioning, Tang Cheng found out that all three Japanese soldiers in this stronghold had been killed, and the remaining four puppet soldiers had chosen to surrender.
