Chapter 930: The Fall of Bingzhou City
Yao Pengju and the others did not take the usual route and climbed over the wall directly into Ningshang Town.
The walls were not thick, and after the Japs blocked the alleys, they did not place sentries near the walls.
"The little devil's sentries are placed at various intersections on the main road. There are quite a few of them. There are sentinels about thirty or forty meters apart."
"It seems that the Japanese army blocked the alley and saved a lot of troops, so there are such dense sentry posts on the main road." Yao Pengju said.
"We can't pass through such a dense outpost unless we kill them all!"
There are Japanese barracks on both sides of the main road, so we must attack at the same time.
"If we kill them at such a close distance, the little Japs at other posts will quickly find out that there are no soldiers on the posts and sound the alarm," Ding Yucheng said.
There was no one at the sentry post, so a normal person would suspect something was wrong.
"Wouldn't it be nice to replace the Japanese sentry posts with our own people?" Yao Peng smiled.
"Replace it with one of our people?"
Ding Yucheng didn't know how Yao Pengju did it.
"This street is too long. If we want our troops to reach the opposite side smoothly, we have to kill at least five of the opponent's sentry posts. This is not easy to do." Yao Pengju gritted his molar teeth, thinking about countermeasures.
"If we make a mistake, we might be surrounded by the little devils in the town."
It is easy to take down one Japanese outpost, but it is quite difficult to take down five outposts at the same time without being discovered.
Moreover, the Japanese sentry posts were not all on this side of the road, but were crisscrossed on both sides of the road.
The Japanese sentries on this side will inevitably be seen by the Japanese sentries on the other side.
"Captain, can our bows and arrows come in handy?"
The distance between the main roads in the town is not wide, and the Japanese sentry on the opposite side is completely within the killing range of their bows and arrows.
Bows and arrows can kill enemies silently, which is most suitable for their covert actions.
"And since you can go up to the roof, it won't be easily noticed by the sentry on the opposite side." The soldier from the special operations team continued.
The streets in the town are not as wide as those in the county town. As long as they are on the rooftops, they are almost in the blind spot of the Japanese sentry's sight.
"Let's go and see those sentry posts!"
Yao Pengju glanced at his watch in the moonlight and saw that there was still enough time.
Yao Pengju and his team were good at climbing over eaves and walls. Only by not searching for roads could they avoid the sight of the Japanese army.
It has to be said that the Japanese army's defense outside the town was not tight, but inside the town, there were five posts and one sentry at ten steps, plus patrols, so the defense was airtight.
If the Japanese army placed two or three more hidden sentries on the roof, Yao Pengju and the others would not be able to fly in even if they put on their wings.
It's a pity that the little Japanese captain failed to calculate that Yao Pengju and the others were good at climbing walls and houses.
"The lights are still on there. Isn't it the Japs' headquarters?" Yao Peng asked.
"The last time we went into the town to deliver food, if I remember correctly, the place where the little devils trained was a row of houses behind the lights."
Ding Yucheng had met the Japanese captain, but the place they went to last time was not sure whether it was the Japanese army's headquarters. It might just be a Japanese army training ground.
"No matter what, don't get close for now, and check out the little Japanese sentries around you first."
When Yao Pengju was scouting the Japanese army, the Japanese captain couldn't sleep.
The weather is getting hotter and hotter. Living in a town with hundreds of horses, naturally there are more mosquitoes than in Wang County.
The Japanese captain who couldn't sleep had to study the map of Wang County. Despite his arrogance, he was also thinking about Zhao Zhiguo's opponent.
If he meets Zhao Zhiguo, he must fight with Zhao Zhiguo to see if Zhao Zhiguo is really as long as the rumors say, with three heads and six arms.
However, the Japanese captain did not notice at all that not far from him, Yao Pengju and others were staring at his cavalry on the roof.
"There are five sentry posts, two on the opposite side and three on our side. If we want to get rid of them quietly, we can only use bows and arrows!"
After dawn, Zhao Zhiguo woke up from his deep sleep. He rubbed his sleepy eyelids and looked at the gloomy weather.
"Isn't it going to rain again?" Zhao Zhiguo said to himself, "But rain has its advantages. At least the little devil can be more honest."
Unless there is a military operation, little devils rarely go out on rainy days.
As long as the little devil stayed at home, the people in the city would be safe from the Japanese army.
There was a rapid knock on the door, and Zhao Zhiguo thought it was Yao Pengju and the others who had returned.
But after opening the door, it was intelligence personnel from Wang County.
"Captain, the information just came in this morning. In the middle of the night yesterday, Bingzhou City was lost, and the last two thousand defenders of Bingzhou City evacuated Bingzhou City."
“I never thought this day would come!”
Zhao Zhiguo had actually been mentally prepared for the fall of Bingzhou City, but when this day came, Zhao Zhiguo still felt a little heartbroken.
"Arrange someone to notify the political commissar and Gao Cang to prepare Anyang Town for the invasion of enemies from the west."
The fall of the Bingzhou area meant that Zhao Zhiguo's defense area would be surrounded by the Japanese army on three sides. Only the continuous mountains in the northern area were difficult for the Japanese army to set foot on.
From now on, the situation for Zhao Zhiguo and his troops may become increasingly difficult.
After the intelligence officers left, Yao Pengju and the others came back.
"Captain, our plan worked. All the Japanese military dogs in Ningshang Town were killed, and we also found out the little Japanese guard post."
Yao Pengju happily reported yesterday's results to Zhao Zhiguo.
But Zhao Zhiguo suddenly lost his virginity and didn't seem to hear it.
"Captain, what happened?" Yao Pengju asked tentatively.
"Bingzhou City was lost. The Japs' gas bombs were definitely not used in the Bingzhou area. Maybe they were actually used against us."
For the little devils, Bingzhou City is already theirs, and tens of thousands of them will not be stationed around Bingzhou City.
If poison gas bombs were used in Bingzhou City, tens of thousands of Japanese troops would be buried with the Chinese army.
Therefore, the Japanese gas bombs in Pingcheng had only one target, and that was to deal with Zhao Zhiguo.
Anyang Town is naturally the best place to test Japanese gas bombs.
Although the poison gas bombs dropped in Anyang Town did not cause much damage to Zhao Zhiguo's troops, they were enough to make the people of Anyang Town unable to return home and thousands of people were displaced.
"Okay, don't worry about it for now. Let's deal with the Japanese army first. As long as we can gain an advantage over the Japanese army in the Wangxian area, even if the Japanese army causes a devastating blow to Anyang Town, we will still have a foothold."
Yao Pengju listed everything they detected to Zhao Zhiguo.
