The attack outside the pass stopped at three o'clock in the morning. It was probably because the attack was tired. Needless to say, it would have to continue after dawn.
After Kawashima and Nakamura discussed it, Kawashima Brigade was responsible for the early morning security, focusing on the gate and Chengguan Tower.
The Kawashima Brigade suffered heavy losses in supporting Baihu Pass this time. Only about a hundred people were left in the entire brigade, and there were more than 120 people left in the Nakamura Squadron. The combined number of both sides was more than 230. They were able to defend Baihu Pass mainly because the Eighth Route Army's artillery fire was not enough to destroy it. Collapse of the walls of Baihu Pass.
The city gate covered with a large amount of iron can withstand the direct bombardment of infantry artillery. The height of Baihu Pass is nearly 3 feet. Without howitzers, it is really difficult to attack.
Kawashima arranged a detachment of Japanese guards under the city gate, and there were two detachments on the city wall responsible for patrolling. The others took a rest as they had to fight during the day.
At four o'clock in the morning, except for the personnel on duty, everyone else in the pass had fallen asleep. They were tired from fighting for a day, and even the sentries could not cheer up.
As for the three-foot-high city wall, even the Eighth Route Army could not fly in!
Outside the city gate, the other two teams led by Shitou had been waiting for a long time. In the dark night less than a hundred meters away from them, two hundred commandos from the third company were also waiting for the moment the city gate opened.
On a dark and windy night, when people are killing people and setting fires, four in the morning is when the human body clock is most tired, and when special operations are most active.
Chu Xiong and others who took advantage of the chaos to sneak into the pass finally began to move out. The first target they wanted to eliminate was the Japanese who were responsible for guarding the city gate. They seized control of the city gate, put Shitou and others in, and everything was done.
A detachment of Japanese soldiers guarding the city gate, except for two people who were left to keep an eye on them so that no other people could get closer, the others also fell asleep leaning against the watchtower.
Chu Xiong launched his sneak attack just when the patrol was passing by. The patrol passed through the city gate area almost every half an hour. Half an hour was enough to do a lot of things.
Private Lin Yuan and Private Dashi were in charge of the night watch at the city gate. Chief Cao and a dozen other Japanese soldiers were catching up on their sleep at the gate. This kind of hard work naturally assigned recruits like them to the job.
Private Lin Yuan was full of complaints and was whispering to Private Oishi. They were all talking about pretty girls. Men get excited when they talk about these things.
"Oishi-kun, have you ever touched a woman? Those beautiful breasts...Yoshi!"
"Senior Lin Yuan, I have been in China not long ago and haven't had a chance to go out to do the raids yet. I heard from other seniors that the flower girls in China are very fair and tender, unlike our Japanese women who are dark and rough!"
"Oishi-kun, it's such a shame for you. You have to fight for the opportunity to raid the Chinese village. I've only been there once. That Bai... tsk tsk tsk"
In fact, Lin Yuan couldn't explain why. Many veterans said that he was no better than Dashi, and even if there was a flower girl, he wouldn't be able to take his turn.
Of course Dashi, a rookie, would not know this. He looked at Lin Yuan with admiration and listened with great interest...
Oishi's pupils suddenly dilated, and his eyes were full of fear, because he saw a black figure rushing towards the senior Lin Yuan who was blowing saliva.
Senior Lin Yuan's big mouth was held by a pair of huge black hands, and his neck was slashed by a dagger like lightning. Blood instantly spurted out from Lin Yuan's neck and sprayed all over his face.
He wanted to scream out, but unfortunately he couldn't. He just felt a coldness in his throat and his whole body was exhausted. He just wanted to lower his eyelids and sleep, and he didn't feel any pain at all...
After the two black figures dealt with Lin Yuan and Dashi, they quietly entered the guard box. One of them was Chu Xiong, and the other was Li Guoping. He has now grown into a real Tigers member.
The skill of touching a whistle is also very sneaky. If Erni from Lijiacun saw it, her jaw would probably drop in shock!
After Chu Xiong and Li Guoping entered the booth, they started wiping their necks. Chu Xiong, in particular, was very skillful and efficient in his movements, while Li Guoping was much slower. These are all technical tasks, and practice makes perfect.
Of the eleven sleeping Japs, Chu Xiong eliminated 7 in one go, while Li Guoping only got 4. He finally found the gap.
After taking care of the sentries at the city gate, Chu Xiong left two people to pretend to be Japanese sentries, while the others quietly opened the city gate.
The bolting pillar of the city gate was actually made of a whole piece of iron wood. It was stuck in the bolt hole. It took four people to lift it down. No wonder it was not easy to break through.
In ancient times, it was difficult to break through with several tons of rams. During war, a large number of stones were even used to completely block the city entrance. This shows the wisdom of the ancients.
After Chu Xiong and others opened the city gate, Shitou and others walked in, and also brought the equipment of Chu Xiong's team.
After they put on special warfare equipment, Li Guoping was left to lead the way. Others continued to go to the city wall to eliminate the Japanese patrols, while Shitou and others met the third company of commandos lurking a few hundred meters away at the city gate.
Shitou used the contact signal that had been discussed in advance to pass it to Sanlian. After hearing three bird calls, Sanlian quietly ran towards the city gate. The distance of several hundred meters only took a few minutes.
Soon 200 commandos from the third company entered the city. Li Guoping was familiar with the Japanese camp. He led the commando team directly to the Japanese camp. It was Shitou's special forces who opened the way. Those who could be solved with cold weapons would be tried. Solve it with cold weapons.
It was difficult to deal with all the more than 200 Japanese soldiers with cold weapons. When Chu Xiong was dealing with the patrol, something happened. One of the team members accidentally made a little noise, which alerted the patrol. Chu Xiong immediately made an immediate decision. , just swept over with a shuttle.
Other team members also fired at the patrol, and within a few seconds all the Japs in the patrol were wiped out, and at the same time, the Japs in other places were awakened.
As soon as Shitou heard the gunfire, he decisively gave up the plan of continuing to use cold weapons to deal with the Japanese, and directly served with a submachine gun and grenades.
The Japanese were awakened from their sleep, and many of them were sent to see Amaterasu before they knew what was going on;
200 commandos each threw a grenade at the Japs camp. The bombs caused the Japs to panic, leaving corpses strewn across the field. A large number of Japs were wiped out in the panic.
"Bagaya Road, enemy attack, where did the Eighth Road come from?"
Kawashima panicked and asked the Japanese who were running around, but unfortunately no one gave him an answer. There were gunfire everywhere, and the Eighth Route Army had already attacked them right before their eyes!
Kawashima finally gathered a dozen people and prepared to break out of the camp to meet up with Nakamura's squadron. He happened to bump into Shitou's Tiger Special Forces. Shitou raised his hand and fired a long burst at the man holding the command knife. Kawashima was hit by several bullets and fell down, dead. 's can no longer die.
Other Japs were also eliminated...
After about half an hour of fierce fighting, the Japanese in a state of chaos were completely wiped out. Baihu Pass fell into the hands of the independent battalion, and the obstacles to the attack on Zezhou were cleared.
It's daybreak...
