Although Neihuang County is located in a plain, due to its location on the old course of the Yellow River, it has undulating sand dunes, criss-crossing ravines, dense jujube forests, and a bare and endless terrain.
More than a hundred meters away from the city gate, Mancang directed a platoon of soldiers from the Fourth Route Army who came to study and exchange to dig soil and fill sacks on the spot.
The person who came to learn was a company commander, who was very sad about the sacks: "When we conduct ambushes, we dig trenches. If we do this, how many sacks will be destroyed in one battle?"
"If you don't want to die, just do it." Mancang didn't have any more explanation.
With more people and greater strength, a machine gun fortress was quickly formed.
The heavy machine gun was carried into the ring-shaped machine gun base. The warehouse began to check the equipment and canvas cartridge belts, and then poured cooling water into the gun barrel.
A raging fire broke out in the county seat, lighting up most of the county seat.
The fire caused by the opium den could not be contained, and soon it became a burning situation.
Gunshots seemed to be fired everywhere in the north and southeast, and there were arrogant shouts of "hand over the gun but not kill" everywhere.
However, the western half of the city was so quiet that it made people palpitate.
According to the development of this situation, it is basically impossible to persist until dawn.
The bandits gathered near the county government office began to shout in panic.
"The Eighth Route Army is calling."
"Something happened at the east gate!"
"Something happened at the south gate!"
"Something happened at the North Gate..."
"Don't panic, anyone who yells again will be shot immediately."
In times of turmoil caused by natural disasters and man-made disasters, the bandit soldiers who go up to the mountains to become bandits and turn into bandits in the grass are not usually educated people.
I immediately understood that the Eighth Route Army had used the good trick of their ancestors: surrounding three towers!
The sky in the east is getting brighter and brighter, and West Street looks dark and empty.
The bandit soldiers on the west side of the county government office looked at West Street, ready to make a move.
Whether it's a chance to escape or a road to hell, no one knows!
Wang Sanzhu attended a military academy in Gong County and had a lot of rules in his daily life.
Coupled with the training of Japanese advisers, the bandit soldiers also established a military law team.
If you escape from the battlefield, you will definitely be shot.
No one wants to be the one who stands out.
The rattling sound of machine guns was like a reminder, and the screams of the bandit soldiers were so loud that their brains were buzzing.
The bandit soldiers who gathered in the yards on both sides of West Street saw that there was no movement on the street, and they kept thinking about Xiao Jiujiu.
Unable to figure out the situation, I subconsciously thought that I should stay away from the sound of gunshots and explosions.
Rumors from the east are flying all over the place. If you stay here, you may be waiting for death!
The tight heartstrings have never been able to relax
Finally, a certain bandit couldn't bear the pressure of death from hell and collapsed.
He jumped out from the wall, muttered something and ran towards West Street.
This guy didn't care about sneaking through walls to find cover, and ran westward in the middle of West Street in a panic.
The fire on the east side of the county seat was several feet high, and the light dimly shone on the man's back.
The bandit leader of the military law team holding the battle raised his gun and aimed at the fleeing guy's back.
Hold your breath and slowly press the trigger with your finger.
Before he could fire, the guy who was running away suddenly fell down.
He rolled twice on the ground, struggled to get up on his hands and feet, and continued to run westward with staggering steps.
Perhaps thinking that escaping would be okay, the second bandit jumped out from the base of the wall and followed him to the west.
If there is a second one, there will be a third one. Following a group of bandits, they jump onto the street and join the escape team.
The little leader of the military law team became anxious and immediately raised his gun. He had no chance to find the one who ran first.
He had no choice but to shoot at the fleeing crowd.
The first person to escape to the west is fine!
Instead, there was gunfire from behind. At this time, no one cared who was shooting.
Someone seemed to be shouting strangely in the darkness on the street: "There's a gang attack coming, run."
Is this okay?
The bandit soldiers, who were following the wind and watching the wind, didn't care about anything at this time and surrounded the three buildings. They ran and screamed at the top of their lungs.
It seems that if you don't go with them, you will be destroyed.
The herd mentality spreads quickly, just like when herbivores migrate and move forward fearlessly even though they know there are lions and crocodiles.
More bandit soldiers embarked on the road of panic and fled, and the bandit soldiers who had been hiding in the yard near the county government office also slipped out of the dormitory carrying their baggage.
The bandits on West Street, far away from the county government office, immediately became a mess. The leader of the Military Law Department blew his whistle loudly, but no one paid any attention to him.
In the darkness, the muzzle of a black-shelled gun was pointed at the young leader of the military law enforcement team who was whistling harshly.
boom.
Another gunshot rang out, and the member of the Military Law Department leaned back on his chest, and the bandits from the Military Law Department next to him hurriedly stepped forward to help him.
boom.
A smoking grenade dropped from the sky and exploded in the crowd.
"Run quickly, the Eighth Route Army is calling."
There were people everywhere, and many of the bandit soldiers seemed to have been so panicked that they had forgotten their direction. When they saw that most of the people were running to the west, they followed the herd mentality and ran away without caring about anything.
Some people who have clearly seen the situation plan to stay where they are, but seeing more and more figures running away, staying here does not seem to be the best choice.
There doesn't seem to be a machine gun on the west gate tower. Could it be that there were few people on the Eighth Route Army and they couldn't touch the west gate?
The thoughts of whether to stay in the city and continue to follow the boss to fight with the Eighth Route Army, or to escape first, were at war in his mind.
Wang Taigong's bandits were divided into four regiments!
Yes, there are indeed four regiments of bandits in the county!
In these days, officials are granted casually, and when they are young, they lose face when they go out to meet their colleagues.
However, each group only has about five or six hundred people.
There were actually more than a thousand of his direct subordinates. Wang Sanzhu went out and took away half of the bandits, and then transferred some of the newly defected bandits.
Normally, the direct lineage regiment that stayed behind is responsible for the defense of the county.
The other two regiment commanders were his confidants, and they were almost all bandit soldiers who relied on food to gather together. They had no sense of what was forbidden.
One of the two regiment leaders is in the east of the county government office, and the other is in the west of the county government office.
The peripheral team was in chaos, and the two regiment leaders immediately discovered that the battalion commander who was beside them just now was missing.
In addition to the more than 30 members of the direct guard platoon who were still there, there were only about a hundred bandit soldiers stationed under the walls on both sides of the West Street barrier position.
He almost became a polished commander in an instant.
The ordinary bandit soldiers naturally did not know as much information as the two bandit commanders.
Last year, Li Ying of the First Army of Public Security was beaten to pieces by the Eighth Route Army. A brigade commander was beaten to death by the Eighth Route Army. It cost five thousand oceans to redeem his body.
And there are armored vehicles on Route 8!
The first thought of the bandit leader who was stationed in the west was to go back and report to the commander.
The battalion commander under him did not actually run away, but saw the chaos and took his people to the yard surrounding the county government office to stop and calm his panicked men.
As soon as the bandit commander ran away, the returning bandit battalion commander quickly asked the remaining bandit soldiers.
The bandit soldiers were anxious and directly said that the leader had run away.
They have been dealing with the Eighth Route Army in the plain area for a long time. Many bandit soldiers even joined the Eighth Route Army. They left the Eighth Route Army only after they could not live such a hard life.
Who doesn’t know who the Eighth Route Army is?
The Eighth Route Army is poor. Every time you fight, you have to think twice before you act!
It seems that the Eighth Route Army is bound to win this time.
This is not a bluff. The entire east of the city has fallen into the hands of the Eighth Route Army. If you stay here any longer, you will either be a prisoner or die!
It is true that the Eighth Route Army treated prisoners preferentially, but if you make me eat two meals a day and not be able to touch women, this life will be more uncomfortable than death.
Moreover, I lost my gun after leaving the Eighth Route Army. In these days, I am nothing without a gun.
With a gun, anyone who wants to shoot will be a guest!
What are you waiting for? Wait for the leader to come back and give orders to everyone to be cannon fodder?
The more he thought about it, the more evil he became, so he directly ordered his subordinates to take his direct relatives and run away towards Ximen, who had not fired many shots.
The more than 30 bandit soldiers guarding the city gate had long been removed by the work team and students from the first division on the city gate building.
The big dogs hid on the dry moats on both sides of the city gate, asking the bandit soldiers to disperse on both sides after leaving the city gate.
The chaotic sound of running reached the city gate, and after a heart-wrenching creak, a bandit emerged from the crack in the door.
The air outside the city is so damn good.
As more bandit soldiers arrived at the west gate, the gate was slowly pushed open wider.
A bold bandit hesitated for a moment and ran directly along the horse path to the city gate building.
"Hey, what happened in the city?" a voice from the city gate building asked nervously.
The bandit soldier let out a long sigh: "The Eighth Route Army is coming. Are you okay here?"
The city wall formed a circle on all sides. This guy thought there was a gap in the city wall. As long as the ladder was removed, the Eighth Route Army would definitely not be able to get through.
Bandits are good at robbing homes and climbing over walls to break into houses. The battle begins to seize the commanding heights. It's not that he doesn't understand this principle.
But when it comes to theory, if he can read a few words and understand some basic military knowledge, he can at least work as a servant in the regular Imperial Army of Commander Anxian Wang and avoid being reduced to a bandit.
Seeing some bandits running towards the tower, the bandits coming out from behind immediately followed suit.
Maybe he thought he had escaped from the hell of death, and his curiosity took over. He habitually found similar people to inquire about news, and also to see if there was a chance to see the excitement again.
