Rise from eight hundred.

In the early stage of the Battle of Jindong, the Japanese army had already imposed a curfew on the entire Shimen. The four city gates were strictly controlled, and all residents entering and leaving the city gates were strictly checked.

It's just that this is the territory of the Chinese after all, even if the Japanese are strictly guarding it, but it is inevitable that the secrets will be neglected, and the Chinese still have their own channels to leave the city.

But it was sneaky after all, never before had the Japanese who had closed the city gates and entered the defensive position like this afternoon, never dreamed that someone would openly enter the Chinese position from the east of the city.

"What does your brigade commander need?" Tang Dao looked at the 1.75-meter-tall northern man in front of him, and said straight to the point.

"Alive! And you need to take at least one regiment away!" The big man raised the condition without changing his face.

"Your brigade commander has a big appetite. Not only do you want to survive, but you also want to escape with so many second devils. Do you think it's possible?" Lei Xiong on the side couldn't help but snort.

"The conditions are not high, but I want to know what you can do for us!" Tang Dao said without being angry at all, waving his hand.

"This..." The big man was slightly taken aback.

The Chinese have always paid attention to paying back the money on the spot after asking for a lot of money. He just said casually to take a regiment away. In fact, the bottom line that his brigade commander gave him was a battalion, which was the infantry battalion he led.

Although there are not many people in a battalion of [-] or [-] people, they are also the capital for him to settle down in the North China Security Army. If this number of people is gone, it is estimated that even if he returns to Pingbei City, who can kill a worthless dog? Put it in your eyes?
But to his surprise, the famous but young and outrageous Tang Tuanzuo in front of him didn't seem to have any intention of making a fuss about it.

The big man knows that this shows that people are most concerned about what the 2nd Brigade of the Security Army can do for this Chinese army. If this is not satisfactory, I am afraid it will not be as good as it is now.

"Our brigade commander said that as long as we are not asked to fire on the Japanese, everything else is negotiable!" The big man thought carefully and replied cautiously.

"Okay! This is a list of requirements I just drafted. If you think it's okay, take it back to your brigade commander for a look. If it's okay, sign it and put your fingerprint on it. My orderly will supervise it on the spot. Your conditions, I agree to all.

By the way, let me tell you Brigadier Commander Liu, I will give him an hour to think about it. After an hour, my four-element regiment will join the friendly forces of the two infantry regiments to attack Ximen with all their strength! " Tang Dao stretched out his hand, took out a piece of paper from Xia Dayu and handed it over.

The big man didn't even read the content on the paper, and beads of sweat appeared on his forehead.

Leaving aside what Tang Dao asked the Second Brigade of the Public Security Army to do, just signing and pressing his fingerprints is a very sinister move. It is no longer possible to escape from the palm of Tang Dao's hand.

When did Tang Dao become dissatisfied? As long as the signature is published, the Japanese will kill the brigade commander who was born as a bandit leader without any "anti-rape team"?

Tang Dao didn't give the sweaty big man time to speak, and waved off the guests directly.

"Hey, Battalion Commander Liu, let's go!" The little bald man who put on a puppet yellow military uniform smiled and persuaded the big man who was walking full of thoughts and almost bumped his head against a tree. "Whether you accept it or not is up to your brigade commander. What are you worrying about here?"

"You little guy, don't you worry that our brigade commander will kill you if he doesn't accept the conditions?" The big man who was comforted by the little bald head was a little bit dumbfounded, and deliberately frightened the young orderly with a straight face.

"Who is the commander of our regiment? I'm afraid your brigade commander is very clear. Kill me? He might dare if it were Japanese soldiers who suppressed the border, but now when he is heavily surrounded by our army, he would not dare to lend him ten courage .” The little bald man replied with a bright smile.

"And let's go! Our group said that if someone else came, he would not send anyone at all, but you, Battalion Commander Liu! You are qualified for this."

"Why is this?" The big man's face was in a daze, but his heart warmed fiercely.

He didn't expect that the young army colonel who had always been very polite to him would think so highly of him, just because of some small things he did on weekdays.

Liu Fengchi could be regarded as an outlier in the security forces, secretly giving some care to the families of the anti-Japanese elements detained in the cells, but that was actually just a superficial phenomenon.

And even if his brigade commander had heard about it, he pretended not to know it. The two of them had a tacit understanding, and Quan regarded it as a way out for him. Wouldn't it come in handy today?
If Liu Fengchi hadn't contacted the underground members of the anti-Japanese organization in the city, it would have been absolutely impossible to find the Sixing Group and Tang Dao directly.

But no one knew that Liu Fengchi's involvement with the anti-Japanese underground organization was much deeper than it appeared on the surface. Many medicines, food, and ammunition were transported from Baoding City, where he was stationed, to the anti-Japanese base areas through his channel.

Even many anti-Japanese secret meetings in Baoding City were held in the firm he ran.

Except for Liu Fengchi, few people knew about this, but Tang Dao knew.

Because even Liu Fengchi himself doesn't know that in the future, he will not only be a small battalion commander, but even be the commander of the First Group Army of the Imperial Association Army, and act as the chief of police of the General Administration of Internal Affairs of Wang Puppet North China Political Affairs Committee, and even the later Pingbei City Peaceful liberation has made certain contributions.

The Japanese didn't know how many guns and bullets the general trained under their command had sent to 'Tuba' over the years until they were defeated.

No matter whether he is lurking or leaving a way for himself, at least he has not forgotten that he is a Chinese. Tang Dao believes that he will make the right choice.

Of course, Tang Dao believes that a guy who wants to live will not take the initiative to ask for death!

And it was very difficult for Liu Fengchi to catch him, but Tang Dao understood human nature very well. The puppet soldiers were second devils, but they were also human beings. They worked under the hands of the Japanese, weren't they controlled by the Japanese?

Now, it's just one more person, one lice is biting, two lice are also biting, don't you get used to it after a long time?

Sure enough, when he received the list from his subordinates, Liu Zhuangfei was furious, and roared, "Too much bullying, I would rather fight to the death!" ’, he directly pulled out his pistol and pointed it at the calm Xia Dayu, and even opened the safety, looking like I’m not a muddleheaded man.

Liu Fengchi and the lieutenant colonel's adjutant were so bluffed that the brigade commander almost didn't fight him off. The brigade commander didn't want to have a meeting for a while and was cut into pieces, but they didn't want to.

Tang Dao has never been lenient in killing Japanese people. The Japanese who died under his hands in the past year can be piled up into a small mountain. It's like playing.

"Brigade Commander, take a break from the fury of the thunder. It's easy to discuss. It's not worthwhile for you to vent your anger on a low-level soldier!" Looking at the black hole pointing at the soldier, the lieutenant colonel's adjutant's face was pale as if The gun was aimed at himself.

"Brigade Commander Liu, the commander of our regiment said that in an hour, our regiment will attack Ximen with all its strength! Now, 30 minutes have passed. If the time required for me to return is deducted, it will only take 5 minutes!" Xia Dayu said. The young and old man calmly pointed to the old-fashioned clock on the table.

"I'm not bluffing." Liu Zhuangfei froze slightly, and growled in a stern and soft voice.

Of course he knew that killing a young soldier who was only in his teens would be impossible for the Four Elements Regiment. Instead, he caused a catastrophe for himself, and with the murderous nature of the army colonel who killed the Japanese like hemp, Maybe the whole family, young and old, will be retaliated against.

But the point is that he doesn't want to be a puppet who is worried all day long!He knew too well that once this letter was signed, from now on, as long as Tang Dao asked for something, he had to do it honestly, otherwise the whole family would have no way to survive.

He is very clear about the brutality of the Japanese.

"Our group asked me to tell Brigadier Liu a sentence. They all say that early death and late death are death, but people are facing death from the moment they are born, so why no one chooses to die immediately? There are still differences between early death and late death. There is a big difference, even if it is one day and one month?

As long as Brigadier Liu does not do anything harmful to nature, the regimental commander guarantees that you will live well. Besides, Brigadier Liu, you know very well that you, the North China Security Army, are not of the same mind as the Japanese. One more for you! "Xia Dayu imitated the tone of his regiment chief, and relayed what Tang Dao said before he left.

"That's right! Brigadier Commander, we have to wait until we have escaped this catastrophe. Moreover, Commander Tang has allowed us to leave with a group of people. You still have the strength to make a comeback, don't you?" Liu Fengchi hurriedly persuaded.

Like the last straw that broke the camel's back, Liu Zhuangfei slowly sat down on the chair, carefully picked up the list and looked at it, and 2 minutes later, in front of Xia Dayu, signed his name and pressed his fingerprints!
Then, after watching Liu Fengchi personally escort Xia Dayu away, a fierce light flickered in his eyes as he looked at the defensive position beside the city wall.

"Order the first battalion and the second battalion of the second regiment to assemble!"

Now that you have decided to do it, don't worry about it anymore!
The Japanese didn't believe him. At this moment when their troops were seriously short, they still only let him defend one wall with an infantry brigade, and even had two infantry squads to supervise the battle. Don't blame him for being ruthless. Can't speak.

As for the Japanese army in other areas, Tang Dao had already promised him that he would never let a Japanese soldier leave the city. Even if there were a few slipping through the net occasionally, he had no way of knowing what happened to his west gate.

Because, it is written clearly on the list that the focus of this siege is on the east gate, which is the garrison area of ​​the Japanese.

All he has to do is to bring a small number of Chinese into the city.

As for what they are going to do, that is not what he wants to know, anyway, it is definitely not a good thing for the Japanese.

From [-]:[-] p.m. to [-]:[-] p.m. until night fell, all the main Chinese forces in front of Shimen City had arrived!

The Japanese army at the head of the city could not know how many Chinese had come, but the Chinese themselves knew that the 4 infantry regiments dispatched by 7 infantry divisions, their artillery, and heavy troops had all arrived in the previously designated combat area.

In addition to the main force of the Four Elements Regiment, the city of Shimen has been surrounded by nearly 3 troops.

There are only 2000 Japanese soldiers and a puppet infantry brigade remaining in the city with a total strength of only 6000. More importantly, the Japanese defending the city have no mountain artillery and howitzers, only a few infantry artillery. If they attack with all their strength, it will not take two days at all.

Logically speaking, soldiers are expensive and fast. Now that the main force has been assembled, they should attack the city overnight without giving the Japanese army any respite. The meat flew, and the Chinese soldiers who spent a day and a night marching more than a hundred miles couldn't forgive themselves.

Moreover, the reason why the heads of the various ministries stimulated the soldiers under their command to march the most: Shimen City is full of luggage, we can take as much as we can, 80.00% goes to the regiment, and 20.00% goes to ourselves.

This kind of rich reward mechanism can make a group of poor and accustomed to the hard-working big-headed soldiers howling, even if they carry two guns, it is worth 50 oceans and 100 yuan for two guns, and the regiment takes the majority of profits 80, I have 20 left, don't I?

What if you carry five guns?

The big soldiers who were striding on the mountain road were full of "money" at that time. What thousands of Japanese devils and second devils, after they had already killed tens of thousands of Japanese soldiers and successfully blocked them, they even turned back. After killing [-] people, they are nothing more than chickens and dogs.

Regardless of the day and night of hard work, after the news that the Four Elements Regiment and the 17th Division wiped out the 39th Infantry Brigade, the morale of the four Chinese infantry regiments that came from farther away was even higher than that of the Four Elements Regiment and the 4th Infantry Brigade. The teacher has to raise a few points.

The desire to fight is as strong as you can imagine!

Especially Comrade Wang Xiaoqiang, since arriving on the battlefield, he sent six war invitation telegrams to Commander Zhao within three hours, averaging one telegram every half an hour, and sent three telegrams to Deputy Director Tang in the middle.

This one, I'm afraid besides observing the battlefield, he just stays in front of the field radio station.

Even Master Zhao at the South Gate couldn't bear the fierce desire of the regiment leaders to fight, and sent a telegram to Tang Dao, saying that the morale was so high that the fighters were ripe to start attacking the city.

However, Deputy Director Tang, who was the deputy director of the Eastern Shanxi Front Staff Department and was designated by Commander Liu as the executor of the staff department's combat plan, blocked them.

The 3 army full of fighting spirit, under the suppression of Tang Dao, even repaired before the city for a full 3 hours without firing a single shot!
The city that was controlled by lights was pitch black, and it was as silent as a deserted city, even outside the city.

. . . . . . . . . . .

"My Director Tang! This opportunity is fleeting! Wait until tomorrow to start the battle in the daytime, and another 10 hours will be wasted. If you can't attack in two days, the little devil's reinforcements may arrive. Don't worry about the mutton!" I didn’t eat a single bite, and I made a fuss!” Wang Xiaoqiang, who had personally rushed to the regiment headquarters of the Four Elements, met with him, but he did not exchange any pleasantries, but persuaded Tang Dao earnestly.

"Okay! If you, Commander Wang, want to fight, then do it!" Tang Dao handed a cigarette to Wang Xiaoqiang who rushed over in a hurry and tried to calmly persuade him, and said with a smile.

"Ah?" Wang Xiaoqiang opened his mouth wide, completely confused.

Persuading people is too easy, which makes people feel unfulfilled.

"What? Commander Wang is timid? That's easy to say. Commander Zhu of the 17nd Regiment of the 102th Division has asked to be the main attacker for a long time. If you let him be the main attacker, you and the 772nd Regiment can do a good job as a support." Tang Dao smiled and took out the ZIPO and gave it to Dazed The stunned Wang Xiaoqiang got angry.

This is a batch of benefits Tang Dao gave to his soldiers from the little foreign girl Laura. As long as it is filled with special kerosene, it is windproof and waterproof, much better than matches.

Senior non-commissioned officers and lieutenants have one person per person. After a while, when the American cargo ship arrives, the officers and soldiers of the Fourth Line Regiment can basically have one person per person.

"Terian, whoever dares to compete with Lao Wang for the main attack, must first weigh whether he is qualified enough, as for the weight of the 17th division Zhu's big belly, doesn't he have any idea in his heart? The battle depends on who has a big belly , can you win?" Wang Xiaoqiang jumped three feet high.

Moreover, when I was jumping, I didn’t forget to take the exquisitely crafted ZIPO in Tang Dao’s hand. It’s very interesting that this iron lump can still make fire. Copy a batch out for everyone to use.

Tang Dao rolled his eyes. As for your small workshop, how dare you talk about military factories?And since the Four Elements Regiment Armory Factory started to produce weapons, didn't you, Brigadier Cheng, quietly change the name of the military factory to the Ordnance Repair Station?

"As long as half of the artillery battalion of your regiment assists me and Lao Zhu's 102nd Regiment assists, I guarantee that within three hours, we will enter the city." Wang Xiaoqiang put the lighter directly into his pocket and said seriously .

"Okay, Captain Wang, I'll just wait for your words." Tang Dao's face also became solemn.

"The information now shows that there are four gates at Shimen, and the three gates in the east, west and south are defended by about 400 Japanese infantry, heavy soldiers, and engineers. You personally lead the 772 regiment to attack the south gate, and the 102 regiment assists you in attacking the south gate.

我四行团炮兵营会有四门博福斯山炮以及4门150迫击炮、6门日式92步兵炮、4门20毫米机关炮组给你部火力支援！
After entering the city, you and the 102nd regiment need to send two infantry battalions to quickly outflank the west gate to prevent the Japanese from escaping from there. Use the strength of the two infantry battalions to rush towards the warehouse area. In addition, ask the 102nd regiment to send at least one battalion to ambush in the north. Set up a blocking position five miles outside the gate city, and make sure that the devils are not allowed to escape alone.

Our regiment will attack the west gate, and after the city is broken, it will attack in the direction of the Japanese army headquarters in the urban area, and will focus on protecting residential areas, in case the Japanese army jumps over the wall and uses civilians as shields.

At that time, you and I will compare to see whether your 772 regiment first captured the Japanese army's storage warehouse, or my four-element regiment cut off the head of the Japanese commander first.

At 8:45, the general attack begins! "

"Haha, okay, it's settled like this, whoever loses will buy a drink." Wang Xiaoqiang laughed, turned around and rode away on his horse.

"Captain, what are you doing in such a hurry?" Wang Xiaoqiang's guard asked in a low voice.

"Nonsense, if you don't run, hurry up, why is the lighter going back? It's not like you don't know that when it's rainy, it's a big problem for the regiment's cooking team to light a fire!" Wang Xiaoqiang replied grimly.

But his gaze towards the dark city was full of fighting spirit.

Drinking is not important, what is important is that the 772 regiment must win this round!The heavy firepower lent to him by the Four Elements Regiment plus the 772 mountain cannons and 4 infantry cannons brought by the 4 Regiment were enough to blow up the city wall lying in front of the army to pieces.

In the past, the 683 Brigade was No. 1 among the military and civilians in the Taihang Mountain Theater. Later, when the Four Elements Regiment came, it took this position. It proved on the battlefield that the 683 Brigade is still that strong army.

It is said that the strength of the Four Lines Regiment is supported by artillery, but this time, Wang Xiaoqiang has heavy firepower that the entire 30th Army has never had before. There are nearly [-] artillery pieces, large and small. It is impossible to win. Then there is really nothing to say.

If Wang Xiaoqiang, who was full of fighting spirit, had walked slower, he might have known that Tang had successfully deceived him with the help of a lighter.
