"Are you serious? It's just that there are two large groups of Japs in the city..."
Zhao Sihu's heart was moved, but there was something in his words, and he hesitated to speak. Zhou Weiguo understood it at a glance and signaled Wang Han with his eyes.
Wang Han understood instantly and took out an appointment certificate for major general and division commander. It had the seal of the Ministry of Military and Political Affairs on it, but the space for your name was empty. Just fill in your name.
"Commander Zhao, you should recognize this appointment certificate from the Ministry of Military and Political Affairs. All you need to do is fill in your name. Commander of the 78th Division, a serious division commander of the Central Army!"
When Wang Han handed it over, he was filled with envy and hatred in his heart, but he only showed an expression of envy on his face, which made people feel satisfied. These backbones of the Tsing Yi Club are very familiar with what they do.
Zhao Sihu excitedly took the appointment letter with both hands and saw that it was really a blank appointment letter conferring the title of Major General Commander of the 78th Division of the National Revolutionary Army. He only needed to fill in the three words "Zhao Sihu" and he would be an upright Major General Commander.
This temptation is too great, let alone selling out the enemy, even his father will have no problem selling him out!
Zhao Sihu excitedly folded the appointment letter and put it into his underwear. His attitude immediately changed 360 degrees, and he spoke cheerfully:
"Captain Zhou, brother, I am also a descendant of China. I will go through fire and water to eliminate this old devil like Chaoxiang. I will do whatever I want. Just tell me!"
It is said that wealth can be found in danger. Zhao Sihu will risk his life for the support of the major general and commander!
"Mr. Zhao, it's serious. The government will not let someone like you go through fire and water. You just need to..."
The voices of the three people became less and less, and the smile on Zhao Sihu's face became more and more. A mutiny that was beyond Chu Xiong's expectation was being plotted intensively.
The Eighth Route Army's offensive outside the city lasted for a day. They rushed to the top of the city several times and were driven back by the Japanese. The situation became increasingly dangerous for the Japanese in the city.
In the afternoon, the Japanese sent a squadron of troops to test a breakout from the north gate. As a result, they were attacked head-on by the third company shortly after leaving the city. After suffering most of the casualties, they retreated back into the city - there was indeed an ambush at the north gate!
Inside the Japs headquarters, a group of old Japs gathered together to discuss a response plan. The sound of gunfire outside the city was continuous, which put a lot of pressure on the old Japs. The Eighth Route Army was serious this time.
They came just for the observation group, not to encircle Wei and rescue Zhao. The tentative breakout at the North Gate in the afternoon proved this. The Eighth Route Army was bound to win!
"Your Highness, the Eighth Route Army outside the city just launched another attack. This time they entered the city and were driven out by the warriors desperately;
Our artillery shell consumption is too great. If we persist for one day at most, the city's artillery shells will be exhausted! "
Okamoto's report made the old devils in the observation group even more nervous. It was a trivial matter for them to break up their love, and His Highness the Prince could not afford to make any mistakes, otherwise everyone would have to commit seppuku.
"Yo Xi, send power to Commander Xiaozhuo and ask the air force to airdrop ammunition and supplies!"
Lieutenant General Chaoxiang still has some ideas. There are nearly two brigades of imperial troops in the city. It is not difficult to defend Zezhou City. He is now thinking of using the strong city to consume a large number of the main force of the Eighth Route Army.
"Gentlemen, don't be too nervous. Just hold on to the city and let the main force of the Eighth Route Army attack and consume a lot of their troops and weapons. When the main force of the division returns to support, we will -"
Chaoxiang made a dumpling-making gesture.
Okamoto and others immediately understood His Highness the Prince's intention, and they all applauded with extremely exaggerated expressions.
"Your Highness, I understand now. No wonder we have two brigades but we did not launch a counterattack against the Eighth Route Army. It turns out that we are conserving our strength and showing weakness! Soderslai."
Okamoto's flattery was very helpful to Asaka. It seems that someone still understands his meaning!
Okamoto continued to ask Asaka for instructions on the arrangements for the Imperial Association Army. Asaka did not trust the Imperial Association Army at all. His troops had never taken prisoners before.
"Okamoto-kun, just ask the Imperial Army to maintain law and order in the city to prevent anyone from taking the opportunity to cause chaos. A curfew will be implemented throughout the city. Anyone who dares to disobey will be shot!"
After Chaoxiang finished speaking, his face was full of murderous intent. This was a devil who killed hundreds of thousands of people at will.
"Hi!"
Outside the city, the offensive of the First Company continued. After a day of fighting, although it was just a feint attack, but in order to complete the show, they still charged with real swords and guns several times. The First Company had already suffered more than half of its casualties. This was the largest casualty since the establishment of the independent battalion. once.
In the evening, Li Qing planned to switch to a second consecutive attack. The Japs must not be allowed to calm down this night. The battalion commander wanted to take advantage of the chaos at night to sneak into the city.
"Old Zhang, your second company will attack in the evening. In the first half of the night, three points are true and seven points are false. In the second half of the night, three points are false and seven points are true. You decide the size yourself. Attack every hour. Don't let the Japanese stop for a moment! "
"Lao Li, don't worry, I will try to reduce the casualties of our comrades. After this battle, our three companies were really exhausted!"
"Old Zhang, I know you feel sorry for your comrades, but this battle must be fought, even if we lose all our capital, we must fight!"
"We suffered heavy casualties, and the Japanese also suffered heavy casualties. We must create the best opportunity for the battalion commander!"
Zhang Yu naturally understands this truth. He feels sorry for the comrades who were killed and wounded. After a day of fighting, there are only more than a hundred people left. These are seed troops who have been trained with great difficulty. It is very distressing to waste them under the fortified city. .
Li Qing felt uncomfortable in his heart. His company had never suffered such heavy casualties. More than 80 people had been killed, and more than 100 people had been injured to varying degrees. This battle had left a lot of damage to the company!
For the victory of the battle, all the sacrifices are worth it!
After a simple dinner in the evening, the Second Company began to launch an attack. The troops invested were limited to one platoon at a time, using the darkness to consume a large amount of ammunition from the Japanese in the city.
The second company's offensive formation was very scattered, and the situation was huge, but the casualties were not large. It was just that both sides were wasting ammunition.
Fortunately, the independent battalion had just seized hundreds of thousands of rounds of ammunition, and some of the ammunition was consumed. The battle between the two sides was still fierce, and the two brigades at the head of the Japanese city did not dare to relax for a moment.
After entering the night, according to the plan, the third company in the north of the city also began to attack the north gate, which reduced a lot of pressure on the south gate and stuck the main Japanese force to the city wall.
The Japanese were overwhelmed by the continuous attacks. They hardly had any rest and were exhausted.
Chu Xiong led two teams of more than 30 members and took advantage of the gap in the attack to break into the city from an unnoticed place.
In a flash, it was past two o'clock in the morning. The attack outside the city was still continuing. The Japs could only accompany the Eighth Route Army to fight. The Japs' command room in the city was brightly lit. Those responsible for the defense of the headquarters were three members of the Takeshita special agent team. The team and a guard squadron are still very strong.
Just as the two sides are in a state of dynamic balance, the puppet uprising plotted by Zhou Weiguo and others is about to launch. This is destined to be an ice-breaking operation that will completely break the delicate balance of Zezhou City...
