"What are you doing?!" Shi Weikang was almost stunned by the scene happening in front of him, and he shouted these words subconsciously.
"Old classmate, I'm sorry... Even today, I am forced." Li Guomin said softly, and the muzzle of a pistol was pressed against Shi Weikang's waist.
"Old Li, do you know what you are doing?" Shi Weikang broke into a cold sweat and his voice was already weak.
While Shi Weikang was talking, several gunshots rang out from the regiment headquarters.
"boom!"
"boom!"
"boom!"
Shi Weikang looked out of the hall almost subconsciously. The two Japanese soldiers were shot dead without even firing a shot, and his two combat staff also fell in a pool of blood.
"Old Li, tell me the truth, who is he?" Shi Weikang had calmed down by this time. If they wanted to kill him, they would have shot him long ago.
"The man who just shot is the leader of the National Revolutionary Army. Old Shi, listen to me and persuade your subordinates to surrender quickly! This way you can save a life. A unit of the National Army has already moved towards Wuhu. Commander Zhang and his troops are just the vanguard." Li Guomin really wanted to save Shi Weikang's life. After all, there were not many people who could trust him so much. Opening the city gate to him was already a big deal. Save face.
Just after the gunfire rang out from the regiment headquarters, a burst of fierce gunfire also rang out from the city.
According to the pre-arranged agreement, the signal for the brothers of the penetration regiment to take action was the firing of the regiment leader's gun. After the regiment commander's first shot was fired, the entire team immediately launched an attack, making sure to seize the city gate as soon as possible.
Hearing the fierce gunshots, Shi Weikang was already convinced. After all, apart from so many troops, how could anyone be so bold as to seize the city gate?
"Old Li, are you sure you didn't lie to me again this time?" Shi Weikang was already breaking out in cold sweat. In this winter, the sweat had actually soaked his shirt.
"Old Shi, I remember your love, but I really didn't lie to you this time, and there is no need to lie to you. Think about why I was captured by them, and why Fujita Shigenobu's team was hit so hard. ?" Li Guomin said seriously, he has reached this point, is there any room for regret?
If Shi Weikang did not stand on the side of the national army like Li Guomin, then he would have no choice but to kill him.
After all, if the Japanese army knew about his defection before the battle, then the only thing waiting for him, Li Guomin, would be death.
Shi Weikang and Li Guomin belong to the same kind of people, with the same strong desire to survive and the same greed for life and fear of death.
Ever since, Shi Weikang chose to surrender. He raised his hands and said, "Okay, now that things have happened, I have no choice but to believe you. I surrender, what do you want me to do?"
"Order your troops to stop resisting immediately, and where is Ushijima Sadao's division headquarters?" Zhang Tianhai was not the kind of person to be long-winded, so he stated the request directly.
"Okay, I'll go out right away." Shi Weikang agreed readily, "By the way, Ushijima Sadao's division headquarters was set up in the original Wuhu County Government. The office area there was relatively large, so he chose that place. , now in Wuhu City, in addition to the 1,800 men of the Fourth Regiment of our former army, there is also a main regiment of the Ushijima Sadao Division. In addition, there is also one of their cavalry brigade. There are There is another main regiment and artillery brigade of the Japanese army, and there is also a Japanese brigade in the direction of Bujiadian."
Since Shi Weikang has chosen to betray the Japanese army, he will die anyway, so he might as well sell it more simply. If Ushijima Sadao dies here, no one will hold him accountable.
This is how most of the middle-level officers of the puppet army survive. Anyway, the Japanese only regard them as watchdogs, so they can naturally sell them with peace of mind.
After accidentally obtaining this piece of information, for Zhang Tianhai, this may be a piece of great credit that was given away in vain.
But Zhang Tianhai is not in a hurry. Even if he wants to take credit for this great achievement, he will have to wait until the puppet troops surrender. Only when these puppet troops surrender can Zhang Tianhai safely lead his people to fight Ushijima Sadao. Division Headquarters.
"Brothers, stop fighting!" Shi Weikang walked outside, but he found that the battle at the city gate had basically been resolved and ended with his side being controlled.
The fierce gunfire had awakened the Japanese troops in the city. The sharp whistles and the rallying shouts of the Japanese officers resounded throughout the city.
At the same time, the battle at the guard post outside the city also started. The 83rd Army Headquarters had launched a fierce attack on the Japanese and puppet troops at the guard post. It only took less than ten minutes to defeat the Japanese and puppet troops at the guard post. All the troops were wiped out, including the sentry company commander Liu Dongqing.
Fierce gunfire rang out around Wuhu County, waking up the sleeping city.
"Nani, where did the gunfire come from?" Ushijima Sadao, who was drinking sake just now, couldn't even drink anymore and ran directly to the division headquarters to question his subordinates.
"Your Excellency, the division commander, the south gate has been lost. I just called Shi Weikang's headquarters and got no response. Now the first-level combat readiness response plan has been activated!" A major staff officer ran to Ushijima Sadao and reported.
After hearing this result, Ushijima Sadao's heart, which had reached his neck and eyes, finally slowly let go. He nodded and said: "Yoshi, order immediately, in addition to guarding all other troops at the other city gates, Reinforce the south gate immediately and be sure to recapture the south gate as soon as possible. There is no room for loss in Wuhu County!"
"Hai!" the Japanese major responded.
In fact, it was not only the Japanese troops who provided reinforcements, but also the main force of the fourth puppet regiment.
After Shi Weikang surrendered, the puppet garrison troops also chose to surrender.
Not only Shi Weikang was shocked by the rapid defeat of the fourth puppet regiment's defenders, but also Zhang Tianhai: after more than twenty of the puppet soldiers were killed, Almost all of them chose to surrender.
The only difference between the two sides is the white cuffs on their arms. The white cuffs are the officers and soldiers of the penetration regiment.
I saw the officers and soldiers of the penetration regiment wearing white cuffs, pointing their rifles at the puppet soldiers who did not wear white cuffs, and those puppet soldiers were squatting in the corner with their hands on their heads.
The officers and soldiers of the penetration regiment have completely controlled the situation at the south gate!
The first battle has been won!
