Inaba Shiro was immediately frightened and woke up. All the drunkenness in his body disappeared in an instant. He was about to open his mouth and shout. However, before he could make a sound, a black shadow approached behind Inaba Shiro like a ghost, and then With a slash of his hand, Inaba Shiro immediately whimpered and collapsed to the ground.
With a thunderous palm, Inaba Shiro was stunned, and then he held Inaba Shiro's forehead and chin with both hands, preparing to use force to break the old devil's neck, but Xu Rui stopped him.
"Catch him alive!" Xu Rui said in a deep voice, "Leave him alive!"
Lei Xiang let go of his hand again, then tied up Shiro Inaba with his hands and feet, and finally took off a pair of Shiro Inaba's smelly socks and stuffed them into his mouth.
As for Inaba Shiro's long military boots, Lei Xiang put them on his feet directly.
In just this moment, no less than a hundred people had gathered behind Xu Rui.
Using the tunnels and the "illusion" spread on the radio for two consecutive days, Xu Rui successfully deceived the Japanese. Especially when the Japanese saw "Liu Jin" wearing a colonel's uniform, they were even more concerned about Xu Rui's death and the massacre. The news that the Meishan Independent Regiment was completely destroyed was firmly believed, and then the Japanese completely relaxed their vigilance.
The weather is good, the sky over Feicheng is dark and cloudy tonight.
The darkness provided excellent cover for the independent regiment.
Five minutes later, all three main battalions of the independent regiment had entered the attack position.
Then, Xu Rui gave the order to attack without hesitation. With this order, the officers and soldiers of the Independent Regiment, who had slept soundly all day and had a good meal, immediately roared like tigers descending from the mountain and launched an attack on the Japanese positions. But the Japs were extremely mentally relaxed at this time. Under the situation of one ebb and flow, the Japs were almost on the verge of collapse.
Even if the Kumamoto Division is the most capable of the seventeen permanent divisions of the Japanese army, it still cannot withstand it.
Xu Rui took the lead, holding two bayonets, and was the first to rush into the division headquarters of the Kumamoto Division.
I don’t know what kind of dark psychology the old devil Inaba Shiro had, but he actually set up his division headquarters in Xu Rui’s regiment. Logically speaking, his division headquarters should be with the field battle outside the city. The 5th Heavy Artillery Brigade stayed together, so that it could be protected by the infantry units affiliated with the Heavy Artillery Brigade.
The terrain outside the city is open, which is conducive to the Japanese army's firepower advantage.
But Inaba Shiro moved his division headquarters to the city.
In fact, there is nothing in the city, just ruins.
If you guess from a human perspective, Inaba Shiro should be demonstrating his military exploits in this way. He is showing off to the world in this way. The Dameishan Independent Regiment was destroyed by his Kumamoto Division, and Xu Rui, the empire's sworn enemy, was also killed by Inaba Shiro, so he is the empire's hero!
Inaba Shiro's deliberate display ultimately brought disastrous consequences to the Kumamoto Division.
Along with Inaba, all the personnel of the division headquarters and the infantry brigade responsible for urban security were also unlucky. After capturing Feicheng, Inaba Shiro only left one brigade in the urban area responsible for security, and the remaining two main forces were The regiment immediately set off northward to attack in the direction of Fuyang.
After all, although Feicheng was captured and the Fei-Wu Highway was opened, the severe situation in Fuyang and Mengcheng has not changed in any way. Therefore, the Kumamoto Division must move north as soon as possible to capture Huainan and break the national army's blockade and encirclement network in one fell swoop. Only by rescuing the trapped northbound cluster will we be done.
Therefore, immediately after capturing Feicheng, Inaba Shiro ordered the relatively complete 13th Infantry Regiment and the 23rd Infantry Regiment to go north together with the Kikuchi Brigade and attack in the direction of Huainan and Fuyang. Following the main force of the Kumamoto Division heading north, there were also the artillery regiment, engineer regiment and baggage regiment belonging to the Kumamoto Division and the Kikuchi Brigade.
The only ones left in Feicheng now are the division headquarters, medical team of the Kumamoto Division, an infantry brigade of the 47th Infantry Regiment, the 5th Brigade of the Independent Field Heavy Artillery, the division headquarters and the 47th Infantry Regiment. This brigade is stationed in the city, while the medical team is outside the city with the 5th Brigade of the Independent Field Heavy Artillery.
It can be said that Xu Rui had expected this situation.
Therefore, from the very beginning, the Independent Regiment launched an all-out attack with full firepower.
Xu Rui took the lead and was the first to rush into the division headquarters of the Kumamoto Division. A guard was awakened from his sleep and rushed towards him with a bayonet. However, Xu Rui cut off his neck just after they met. Xu Rui's feet were cut off. Without stopping for a moment, the meteor continued to rush forward. After turning around a pile of ruins, a bonfire appeared in front of him.
Along with the bonfire, there were more than a dozen Japs who appeared in front of Xu Rui. Among these dozen Japs, there were actually two Major Generals. The one with the lowest rank was also a Major. They were a big fish!
Xu Rui laughed evilly, holding the bayonet in both hands and rushed forward.
These dozen Japanese were none other than Mitsuru Ushijima, Tokutaro Sakai, Ichiho Shimono, and senior staff officers from the division headquarters.
"China Army?!" Seeing Xu Rui striding towards him, Ushijima Mitsuru was the first to react. He immediately stood up and drew his saber with his backhand. Sakai Tokutaro, Shimono Kazuhiro and the senior staff officers of the division headquarters They also jumped up one after another, showing their sabers one by one, and getting into a stabbing stance.
Xu Rui didn't seem to see it and ran straight into the middle of the Japanese.
The flash of cold light, the sound of weapons clashing, the sound of sharp knives cutting open the human body, and the screams of the Japs before they died were all intertwined in an instant. When Lei Xiang caught up with Xu Rui and rushed to the bonfire, he was surprised. It was discovered that all the dozen or so Japs at the scene had fallen into a pool of blood, while Xu Rui was standing by the fire like a bloody man.
Lei Xiang also said that Xu Rui was injured, and immediately asked nervously: "Captain, are you okay?"
"I'm fine." Xu Rui let out a long breath. After killing more than a dozen senior Japanese officers, the bad breath that was held in Xu Rui's chest was finally completely released. Then he ordered Lei Xiang, "Send a flare. Tell Yang Banan and the others not to enter the city, and let them directly attack the Japanese artillery positions outside the city from the north and south wings!"
Xu Rui's principle of action has always been to take advantage of your illness and kill you without leaving any room for you!
Before entering the tunnel, Xu Rui had already prepared a counterattack plan and had two plans ready.
One plan is that the Japanese have a large number of troops in the city. The strength of the independent regiment alone is not enough to end the battle in a short time, so the bandits from the Feixi Eighteen Villages can also join the battlefield in the city. The other plan is that if the city The Japanese troops were relatively weak, so they allowed the bandits from Feixi Eighteen Villages to take advantage of the situation and attack the artillery outside the city.
After all, Xu Rui is Xu Rui. Before entering the tunnel, he had already expected that after the Kumamoto Division occupied Feicheng, Inaba Shiro would immediately order the main force of the division to go north to rescue the northbound cluster. Xu Rui's accurate judgment , which won a valuable opportunity for the Dameishan Independent Regiment.
Lei Xiang pulled out his pistol, pointed it at the night sky and pulled the trigger.
Only two shots were heard, and two red flares slowly rose into the sky.
(Dividing line)
Under the dark night, Yang Banan led more than a thousand bandits from more than a dozen villages including Niangniang Village, Mopan Village, etc., and silently reached the south gate of Feicheng.
The bandits' retreat in Feixi Eighteen Villages yesterday morning was completely fake. This was basically a pre-arranged agreement between Xu Rui and the bandit leaders of Feixi Eighteen Villages in order to deceive the Japanese and to rebel tonight. One blow, now, the Japanese have been fooled, and now it's time for them to fight back.
In order to create as much pressure as possible on the Japanese, the bandits from the Eighteen Villages in Feixi were divided into two parts. Sun Changhe led more than a thousand bandits from Qipan Village and other seven or eight villages at the north gate, and Yang Banan led More than a thousand bandits from more than a dozen mountain villages including Niangniang Village are at the south gate. In this way, when the independent regiment launches in the city, they can attack the Japanese from three directions at the same time, and the Japanese will be overwhelmed by the enemy.
Seeing that the agreed time had passed, Granny Yinhua became a little impatient.
Putting two twenty-ring box cannons into the holsters on both sides, Granny Yinhua turned to ask Yang Banan: "Sir Yang, it's already been a while, why is there still no movement in the city, is that okay?"
Yang Banan quickly comforted him: "Mother-in-law, don't be anxious, it will work, it will definitely work!"
Grandma Yinhua snorted and said, "You are quite confident in that pretty boy?"
"Babyface?" Yang Badan was stunned for a moment when he heard the words, and then he realized that Granny Yinhua was talking about Xu Rui. She smiled bitterly and said, "Grandma, you are joking. Our leader has always been very measured in his actions and will never make mistakes. "
Granny Yinhua curled her lips and said, "I advise you to be more cautious. Handsome men are unreliable."
Yang Ba rolled his eyes when he heard the words, where is this going? Is the leader handsome? Not as handsome as me, okay? Besides, you have nothing to say to me. I am a man and I will not be deceived by him. You should talk to Sai Hongfu and Xiao Taohong. Both of them have made the leader so obsessed that he has forgotten who he is. , especially that little peach.
While he was talking, two screams suddenly sounded in the city, and then two red flares slowly rose into the sky.
"The signal rings twice, implement the second plan. We will not go to the urban area, but to the east of the city!" Yang Banan perked up, then turned back to Granny Yinhua, Tie Gongji and a dozen other bandit leaders and said, "Everyone in charge, the group The commander has sent a signal, asking us to attack the Japanese in the east of the city immediately, we can start now!"
After hearing this, more than a dozen bandit leaders became energetic and stood up one after another.
Seeing a dozen leaders getting up, more than a thousand bandits who were sitting on the ground to rest also got up one after another.
As soon as Grandma Yinhua stretched out her hand, the two twenty-gun box cannons that were still in the holsters were already in her hands. The speed was so fast that Yang Bayan couldn't see clearly. This legendary fast shooter really lived up to his reputation. .
"Children," Granny Yinhua raised both guns in her hands and shouted, "Cheer up, show your skills, and let the devils have a taste of our power!" (To be continued.)
