After a while, no unusual sound was heard, and even Dragon Boat Festival let out a long breath.
Then I heard Lao Shou's scolding: "Grandma, why don't you act more steadily? If you delay this operation, I will kick you to death."
The soldier who missed was slightly embarrassed. In fact, he didn't want to, but the puppet soldier he killed was indeed a little too vigilant. When he cut the sword, the puppet soldier saw it.
Although he was still stabbed to death by a knife, the puppet soldier screamed out.
Fortunately, the Japanese and puppet troops were far away from the North City Gate, otherwise they would have heard it.
But even so, it was only a matter of time before the little devil knew someone was coming to the city.
According to people from the underground party, the patrols of the puppet troops were conducted at intervals of about a quarter of an hour, and there were a total of four patrol teams.
Fifteen minutes is the time they spend patrolling a city wall.
In other words, if Dragon Boat Festival kills a puppet army patrol and seizes the city gate, there will be a vacuum time of up to a quarter of an hour.
Of course, this is the most said, but in fact, the Dragon Boat Festival took more than seven minutes.
So there really isn’t much time left for the Dragon Boat Festival.
He quickly opened the city gate and let in the soldiers from the special agent battalion outside, and then they went straight to the little devil's arsenal.
On the way, they met the underground party who came to meet them. Duanwu had an agreed place with them. After all, the city gate was too dangerous. Moreover, the underground party also noticed that a spy was following them. If they went to the city gate rashly, the little devil would definitely know about Dragon Boat Festival's plan.
So Duanwu made an agreement with the underground party to meet under the big willow tree in the south of the city, and then the underground party took Duanwu and others straight to the little devil's arsenal.
The little devil's arsenal is guarded by a small team of devils.
There are indeed not many such configurations. After all, the little devil's arsenal is very large, as big as five football fields.
There are simply not enough personnel for daily patrols and sentries.
Originally, the little devil wanted to mobilize puppet troops to strengthen the security here. But the little Japanese couldn't trust the puppet army at all.
So even though we knew it was very dangerous, we still didn't let the puppet troops stationed in the arsenal.
In order to ensure that they had enough manpower to protect the arsenal, the Japs did not place sentries outside the arsenal. Instead, under the protection of the courtyard walls and power grid, the Japs were all inside the arsenal.
The little Japs built four watchtowers in the arsenal, and there were two little Japs on each watchtower.
One is a Japs machine gunner, and the other is a Japs holding a searchlight and shooting back and forth.
There are also four patrol teams in the little devil's arsenal, each group has only five people.
Then there were no more, because the little devils were too short. Eight people are needed on the watchtower and twenty people on the patrol, for a total of twenty-eight people.
The little devils are on duty every 12 hours. There are fifty-six people in total, and even their squad leader has to follow them to make up the number.
So these little devils are also very tired and listless.
There were even some patrols who couldn't bear it any longer and stopped at a certain place to rest.
But not even a minute passed before the Japanese officer leading the team gave orders. Because their patrols had a time limit, they must meet with another patrol within the specified time, otherwise it would be regarded as an enemy attack on the arsenal. .
The Japanese soldiers began to complain again, and some even began to curse the Fourth Division. Because if the people of the Fourth Division took over the defense of Xintai County, they would not have to work so hard.
Nowadays, it takes them twelve hours a day to patrol and stand guard, which is beyond the capabilities of a normal person. But they've been holding on for a month.
The intense feeling of exhaustion even made them feel that it would be better to die directly on the battlefield.
However, at this moment, sudden fierce gunshots came from the north wall.
The little devil's attention was immediately attracted.
If there are gunshots on the north wall, it means that the enemy has occupied the north wall.
But how the enemy entered the city silently, they couldn't figure out.
Of course, this is not important. What is important is that their enemies have come in.
Some Japanese soldiers were trying to warn other Japanese soldiers by shooting. At least the Fourth Division is still stationed in the city. Even if there are indeed many conflicts between the two, at least they are all Imperial Japanese Army. The people of the Fifth Division believe that the Fourth Division will definitely come to help. They guarded the arsenal and transferred the weapons and equipment in the arsenal.
It's a pity that the first thing the people of the Fourth Division thought of when they heard the gunshots was to run away. The Supervisory Corps is here. It is an existence that multiple imperial army divisions cannot defeat. Will they stay as cannon fodder?
Moreover, Captain Eita even thought of the reason. It was the Imperial Army of the Fifth Division that let the enemy in. The arsenal was also suddenly lost.
They originally wanted to take back the arsenal, but their enemies were too powerful. So, they retreated according to the order of Lord Doihara of the 14th Division.
At this time, if Doihara heard these words, he would probably be angry to death. Grandma, you all regard my previous orders as farts. And you executed the order to quickly evacuate Xintai County very quickly, right?
However, the Fourth Division has always been known for its strict military discipline, so it makes sense to withdraw from Xintai County in accordance with the order to preserve its strength.
But this made the Japanese soldiers of the Fifth Division suffer. They pounced on them like moths to a flame and killed them.
The Japanese Ichihara quickly sent a telegram to Doihara, saying that the enemy had attacked the city. The exact number of people was unknown, but the fighting was fierce.
And he was about to join the Imperial Alliance Army, go to support the arsenal, and begged Doihara to give orders to the Fourth Division so that they could quickly join the battle.
Ichihara sent the telegram and waited for Doihara's answer, but at this moment, a call came from Nancheng Gate, saying that the Fourth Division was out of the city.
"Nani?"
Ichihara's eyes widened, he couldn't believe this was true. The people from the Fourth Division ran away before the fight started?
He loudly ordered the Japanese at the city gate to stop the Fourth Division.
But there were only a dozen Japs at the city gate, how could they stop the thousands of people from the Fourth Division?
So the Fourth Division left without hesitation, leaving a furious Ichihara alone.
Moreover, he did not wait for Doihara's telegram, and headed straight for the arsenal with the Imperial Army assembled outside the headquarters.
The arsenal is the most important military facility in Xintai County. It stores a large amount of weapons and equipment. Once these things fall into the hands of the supervision team, the consequences will be unimaginable.
So the Ichihara Japs, determined to die, sent reinforcements in the direction of the arsenal.
But those puppet soldiers didn't think so. They were just puppet soldiers. In addition to saving their lives, they also wanted to gain some benefits by joining the Japanese. So who wants to really fight for the Japanese?
But at this time, they had no choice. It was easy to get on the little devil's pirate ship, but it was difficult to get off.
They have become traitors, and there is no way out. If the little devil is defeated, then there may be only a dead end waiting for them!
