What is Kitashirakawa thinking about? He was thinking of infiltrating a reconnaissance team outside the city.
Since his investigation team outside the city was annihilated by Dragon Boat Festival, he has become deaf and blind to those outside the city.
So he wanted to take advantage of Takahashi's team to make a sneak attack after leaving the city, and then send another reconnaissance team to conduct investigations outside the city.
One of the tasks of this reconnaissance team is to watch as Kitashirakawa washes the eyes when Takahashi team raids the Dragon Boat Festival.
Of course, their mission is more than that, because this is not the only reconnaissance team that followed Takahashi's team out of the city. And Kitashirakawarai was already ready to retreat.
However, this retreat does not refer to the Yin Teng alliance, but to Kitashirakawa Aoi and Aso Taro.
What did Aso Taro say in Kitashirakawa's ears? What he said was that once the battle situation was unfavorable, Kitashirakawa Xi and him would go west under the protection of the guards to join the 63rd Regiment of the 10th Division, and then let Yin Teng hold on in the city.
As for whether Yin Teng will die in Bengbu, Kitashirakawa is not worried at all. What he wants is to hold Duanwu back, and then lead an army to kill Duanwu in one fell swoop.
Therefore, the mission of this other reconnaissance team is actually to be the vanguard, going to explore the path for Kitashirakawa.
Of course, these Dragon Boat Festivals didn’t know anything about it. The information he received was that a small team of Japanese troops left the west gate and intended to attack the north gate.
So a general came to the Dragon Boat Festival and asked Wang Tong to make an empty city plan for the Japanese.
Takahashi came cautiously with the Japanese, but was surprised to find that there was no one guarding the North Gate.
"Why is there no one?"
Takahashi took off the telescope and rubbed his eyes fiercely. He felt that the whole night of fighting had damaged his eyes, and he couldn't even see an enemy.
Rubbing his eyes, Takahashi took out his telescope and looked around again, but still saw nothing, only an open and empty city gate.
"Look, is there anyone at the city gate?"
Takahashi angrily gave the telescope to the adjutant on the side.
The adjutant took the telescope and looked at it carefully for a long time, but he didn't see anyone.
The adjutant said strangely: "Sir, there are no enemies at the North City Gate. It's very suspicious."
Takahashi frowned, pondered for a moment and said: "Your Excellency Yin Teng had previously speculated that our enemy's troops were insufficient. Do you think the enemy had all garrisoned in the city and forgot about the south gate?"
The adjutant also thought for a while and said: "Sir, this is indeed possible. But we should also beware that this is a Chinese conspiracy. The Chinese are cunning, cunning."
Takahashi nodded, thinking that his adjutant's analysis was correct. Then he called the two vanguards and ordered them to investigate.
The two Japanese soldiers had helpless expressions, because everyone knew that the North Gate was very dangerous at this time, and if they were the only two to investigate, it would definitely be a life-or-death situation if they encountered the enemy.
Nowadays, only the best people can be the vanguard, but in wartime, the vanguard is actually the cannon fodder rushing in front.
Just like now, the enemy's situation is unknown, and it is very likely to be an enemy trap. If they go to investigate, they will most likely not be able to come back.
But there is no way, this is the task of their vanguard, and it is a task that they must complete. Otherwise, if they don't go, they will still die. It is better to rush forward and fight, and there is still a possibility of survival.
Of course, the two little devils were not stupid enough to walk over in such a big swing. Instead, they took advantage of the night, bowed their bodies, and jogged towards the north gate.
They are always ready to get down on the ground. They were watching out for the searchlights on the city walls.
The light was always on, but it didn't sweep back and forth, but kept shining in the same direction.
The searchlight has remained in this position for a long time. But the little devil didn't dare to bet on whether it would come over in the next second.
Therefore, the two Japanese soldiers were very cautious, and it took them ten minutes to approach the south gate.
At this time, at the South Gate, the corpses of the Japanese were still there, but the Chinese soldiers did not know where they had gone. The sound of artillery fire, machine guns, and rifles could be heard in the distance. The battle on the city wall was also very fierce.
They lay on the north side of the city gate and quietly poked their heads out, but they saw Chinese soldiers carrying weapons and ammunition to the city wall, and groups of reinforcements were also running towards the city wall. No one paid any attention to it. city gate.
The two Japanese soldiers smirked proudly, because they agreed that the Chinese soldiers did not send anyone to guard the south gate because of insufficient troops and fierce fighting on the front line. And that's exactly what they need.
They took out their flashlights and signaled to Squadron Leader Takahashi from the city gate.
Takahashi knew the city gate was safe when his flashlight sent out three long and two short signals.
Takahashi waved his hand forward, and all the soldiers quickly charged towards the south gate.
Of course, the charge at this time was silent. The little devil's short legs run quickly in small steps. There was only a rustling sound when stepping on the gravel road, and they arrived at the South City Gate in a moment.
Two Japanese soldiers were waiting here. Takahashi asked, "What's the situation in the city?"
One of the Japs said: "Sir, the Chinese are busy fighting in the city, so there is no one to guard this city gate."
"Yoohee!"
Takahashi was very excited. He didn't expect that God was so kind to him. He originally thought that this mission would be very difficult, but unexpectedly, it was completed so easily.
Immediately, Takahashi ordered: "After a while, we entered and divided our troops into two groups. One group climbed the city wall and attacked eastward, while the other group climbed the city wall and attacked westward. We and the imperial army attacking from the front flanked our enemy. . And once the city wall is taken back by us, all the Chinese who enter the city will become turtles in the urn, do you understand?"
"Hi!"
All the little devils bowed to accept the order, and then under Gao Qiao's attack gesture, a group of little devils quickly entered the city. Then they divided into two groups and climbed up the city wall from the stone steps on the left and right of the south city wall, hoping to seize the lost city wall. return.
It's just that the little devils thought very well at this time, but the reality was very different from their imagination.
When the Japanese soldiers rushed out of the city gate, they wanted to take advantage of the Chinese soldiers who were busy carrying ammunition and reinforcing the fighting on the city wall to shoot them to death, then rush to the city wall and seize the commanding point of the city wall again. return.
But in reality, when they charged, they discovered that except for the sound of gunfire in the distance, the entire south city gate was empty, and there was not even a single person at all.
The Chinese soldiers who had been running around, carrying ammunition, and going to the city wall for reinforcements were also gone. The entire south city gate was deserted, just like an empty city.
And if it weren't for the sound of gunfire in the distance, they really thought they were entering a ghost town! ...
