I really came here to fight against Japan

Chapter 612: Three local tyrants plot to rebel

After they had vomited enough, they returned to the battlefield accompanied by veterans.

The soldiers were cleaning the battlefield while enforcing battlefield discipline.

They also looked over at the trenches, and those who were lucky were killed by the shock, while some had intact bodies.

Those who were unlucky would have been torn into pieces because they were too close to the explosion point.

Geng Zhuangzi was very satisfied with the outcome of the battle, and felt that his efforts were not in vain.

In addition, the Japanese soldiers who came to his door all actively "cooperated" with the trap he set.

This allowed them to completely wipe out a large battalion of Japanese invaders and get off to a good start.

Although dozens of soldiers were killed or injured by the Japanese mortars.

But compared with the casualties inflicted on the Japanese army, they also won a great victory.

Geng Zhuangzi quickly sent the combat process and results to the command center of the main force of the 7th Guerrilla Division.

This result made the leader of the main group very embarrassed.

You said that if we raise an army and pursue Sato and take advantage of the victory, that would be a simple matter.

In the current county town, there are more than a thousand puppet soldiers, puppet police, detective teams and so on.

Sato's brigade headquarters, plus his first battalion, had about 1,200 people.

There was also a gendarmerie in the county town and a Japanese garrison squadron with more than 300 people.

Although there are a lot of people, only about 1,500 of them can really fight.

He doesn't even need the help of the militia. His main regiment alone can capture the Huya County within a day.

But their column leader doesn't allow them to fight, and the current Huya County is just a bait.

If you eat the bait directly, how will the main force of their column attack the reinforcements?

But if you don't fight, the gate of this county town will soon open by itself.

Can you just sit there and watch? Aren't you jealous?

What he didn't expect was that Brigade Commander Sato in the county town was even more embarrassed than the guerrilla division outside the city.

At around four o'clock in the morning of that day, Sato led his only team and quickly retreated (escaped) back to the county seat of Huya County.

When they returned to the county town, they went back to the barracks to sleep without even counting the casualties.

There is no need to count the casualties, as only one out of two battalions returned.

All the Japanese soldiers who escaped back knew very well that there was only this one battalion left in their brigade.

Who would report the losses at this time? Isn't this just making things difficult for your own division commander?

They were resting, but the defenders in the city had their own thoughts.

When they returned to the city, the captain of the gendarmerie and the captain of the garrison squadron in the city were watching them silently on the top of the city wall.

Under normal circumstances, regardless of victory or defeat, they would go to the city gate to welcome the enemy.

The brigade commander’s rank is already major general, which is much higher than the other two, who are lieutenant colonel and major respectively.

But they didn't do that, because Sato's behavior today was a bit too shameless.

Even if you want to break out secretly, you have to take us with you. After all, we are all from the Japanese island.

Even if you don't want to take us with you, as long as you say the word, we will be willing to defend Huya County for you.

Or we can break out from other city gates to attract the attention of the Chinese army, making your breakout more likely to be successful. Wouldn't that be good?

(Sato: Eh, why didn't I think of this trick? What a mistake.)

But what about you, Sato? You led the team away silently, which betrayed us.

If you really run away, we still have to say that Brigadier General Sato is a mighty and powerful military commander.

But you lost the battle and retreated, who has time to pay attention to you?

When Brigadier General Sato entered the city, the two of them walked in tacit understanding, one on the left and one on the right, along the city wall...

Sato didn't care. It would be too awkward if everyone met now.

So since the two men were unwilling to go down to the city, in order to avoid embarrassment, Sato pretended not to know.

The three parties went their separate ways and ignored each other, but they didn't expect that there were three more people in a bunker on the top of the city.

They are the three powerful figures in the city, the pseudo-army commander, the police chief and the detective captain.

These three local thugs had already been hiding here when Sato sneaked out of the city in the middle of the night, observing the situation outside at all times.

Captain Xie: “Damn it, Sato’s heart is dark, they want to sneak away in the dark.

He didn't even notify his own military police and garrison."

Captain Huang of the detective team gloated: "Didn't you see that the captain of the military police and the captain of the garrison both had black faces?"

Director Duan of the police station said: "Old Huang, you still have time to laugh here, hurry up and think about your way out.

In Huya County, the strength of the Japanese has been weakened a lot.

If the Eighth Route Army outside were to attack the city, do you think they could hold out for a day?"

Captain Huang: "I heard that the main force of the Kurokawa Division has already rushed over to rescue us.

How dare those nationalist troops outside stay here and lay siege?"

Commander Xie of the puppet army: "That's because you read too few books, so your horizons are so narrow."

Captain Huang was about to retort, but seeing their unfriendly faces, he immediately had an idea in his mind.

"If I, Huang San, have done anything wrong to you two brothers, please forgive me.

Today's situation is urgent, please help me solve my doubts, I will reward you handsomely one day."

Captain Xie then said with satisfaction: "Old Huang, you are not a military student, so there are some things you don't understand.

We all know that the direction Sato went in when he left the city gate today was just a militia from Gengjia Town.

But didn’t you notice anything about the scene outside the city just now?

They had more than ten mortars, and the bullets from their light and heavy machine guns were fired as if they were free.

And the big explosion in the trench at the end, there were no less than thirty explosive packs used, what does this mean? "

Captain Huang: "What does that mean? That they are rich?"

Captain Xie: "Money, money, money, how come you only know money?

Just think about it, the militia in a town is so powerful.

Then outside the other city gates, would the regular troops of the guerrilla divisions be even more powerful?

Since their troops are so powerful, why do they surround our Huya County instead of attacking it?"

Captain Huang seemed to have suddenly come to an understanding. He asked, "Could it be that the Nationalist troops outside the city want to surround and attack the reinforcements?"

Director Duan interrupted and said, "Then who do you think the national army outside the city wants to attack?"

Captain Huang: "Could it be that they want to attack the Kurokawa Division? Could it be that the Nationalist Army is about to launch a major counterattack?"

Captain Xie said: "There won't be a major counterattack, but the Kurokawa Division is in great danger.

Look at the Japanese brigade commander Sato, he saw the danger coming.

That's why he prepared to run away without waiting for Kurokawa to come.

The reason why he did not notify other Japanese troops in the city was that he was afraid that they would secretly report to Kurokawa, and then he would not be able to escape.

We both realized this when Sato left the city."

Director Duan: "Brother Huang, that's it, but there is one thing I want to make clear to you.

You know, I'm a policeman and I'm in charge of public security in the county.

Captain Xie is from the Imperial Army, and he is in charge of the public security outside the county town.

But your brother Huang's detective team is a little different!"
