The major general was stunned, but he heard two gunshots followed by intense gunfire. After a while, the gunshots stopped. The major general quickly gave the order to find out what had happened.
Not long after, someone came to report that the fortifications at the third intersection in the east of the village had been attacked. A team of about a hundred people had broken through the defense line and infiltrated the village. Their purpose was unknown. They were currently organizing their forces to search.
However, just as Major General Setani was puzzled, gunshots were heard from the southwest of the manor again. This time, the gunshots were more intense and larger than the last time.
However, from the gunshots this time, it was clear that the defenders had launched an attack on their defensive position in the southwest of Zhuang.
"Baka, attack at night. Order them to defend and organize reinforcements.”The major general immediately gave the order.
Hao Deshan didn't walk far with the suicide squad. About a hundred meters away, there was an alley on the west side of the road. He waved his hand." Go to the old camp."”Everyone went in.
Fighting in one's own territory had this advantage. They were familiar with the terrain. The old camp that Hao Deshan mentioned was originally the station of an artillery battalion of the 31st Division. Of course, it was also used as a position.
When the Japanese attacked Taierzhuang, this place had become their main target, so the planes and cannons kept their eyes on it.
Now, this place had become a ruin. Other than broken walls and craters, there was nothing else.
However, there was also an advantage to this. It was impossible for the Japanese to be stationed here. He needed a place to use as a base, and this place was just right.
"Boss, what should we do?" In the ruins of the " base ", a team leader asked. After the previous "debate" and the "breakthrough" just now, everyone was now completely convinced of Hao Deshan.
When they arrived at this " base ", everyone was even more amused. This place had been "transformed" by the Japanese into a large ant nest. The ruins and craters formed gullies and "fortresses" that were connected to each other and extended in all directions.
Not to mention that he was hiding here as a base, he was not afraid even if the Japanese surrounded him here. With such a complicated terrain, the Japanese would definitely pay a huge price for every step they took.
However, there was also a disadvantage here. They were afraid of the bombardment of aircraft and artillery. This kind of terrain was extremely easy to be modified by those bombs. If you were hiding inside and happened to encounter the Japanese 'modifying' this place, then it was very likely that you would be 'modified' as well.
However, there was nothing to worry about at the moment. It was nighttime now. Would the Japanese dare to pull out their planes and cannons?
As for tomorrow, there was no need to consider it. Everyone knew that the battle had reached this point and was at the final juncture. Victory and defeat would be decided today and tomorrow. They would fight to their heart's content tonight.
"Attack the west." Hao Deshan answered briefly. Then, he continued,"We'll use this place as our base today. The method was to attack from here, as far as possible. If they couldn't move, they would retreat and attack in another direction. When you need to retreat, use me firing my gun into the sky as a signal.”
Hao Deshan looked at everyone and continued,""If I give you instructions, everyone will come back here and choose a new leader to continue fighting. Don't change the method. Three people will form a group and fight on their own. Now grab the weapons."
"Boss, why do we have to fight to the west? That's the mission of the suicide squad on the west side.”Someone asked in confusion.
"There's no need to divide them into east and west now. All the devils in this village are our missions. I reckon that the battle on the west side is about to start. Let's sneak behind the Japanese and make a scene. We'll support them and attract their attention to the west. Then, we'll immediately turn around and attack the east.”
As soon as Hao Deshan's voice fell, intense gunshots rang out from the west. Needless to say, the night attack of the suicide squad on the west side had also begun.
"It's less than a kilometer from here. Follow me!" Hao Deshan listened carefully.”With that said, he took the lead and ran west. Zhao Daquan and Gou Wanzi hurriedly followed behind. The others followed them and rushed to the west.
From the moment Hao Deshan's gunshots rang out, the Japanese army in Taierzhuang was like a hornet's nest that had been poked.
They had been fighting for ten days without night or day, and they were already exhausted.
In the evening, the higher-ups sent a notice saying that today's attack was canceled and that everyone should rest well and prepare for the decisive battle tomorrow.
Therefore, almost everyone fell asleep after dinner. Everyone was really too tired.
As for the Chinese army on the other side, the situation would be even worse. Over the past few days, they had almost all suffered casualties. Other than organizing a few small-scale suicide squads to counterattack, they were completely passive.
Therefore, they were lucky that the imperial army did not attack them. It was impossible for them to do anything.
However, what they did not expect was that the Chinese army actually organized a counterattack under such circumstances.
Therefore, when the gunshots rang out, most of the soldiers were still sleepy and didn't know what to do. As for the officers at the lower ranks, they would only shout," Enemy attack, emergency assembly!”Other than that, he didn't know what to do.
In fact, it was normal for such a situation to occur. People often had such a situation. No matter how tired or sleepy they were, they might be able to hold on for a while without sleeping.
However, if he fell asleep and was woken up again, he would feel even more tired. Moreover, he would not be able to wake up for a long time, and his brain's reaction speed would be greatly reduced. Therefore, the situation mentioned above was not intended to vilify the Japanese army. It was indeed the case.
As a result, when the intense gunfire came from the southwest, they were fully awake and rushed towards the direction of the gunshot.
Hao Deshan's route was very clever. It happened to be at the junction between the Japanese's defense line and their camp. So, he followed the alley and came to the back of the Japanese's camp.
The Japanese defense line was actually only one street away from the area controlled by the Chinese army.
However, most of the buildings within a hundred meters of the street had been destroyed, leaving only ruins. Therefore, it was equivalent to forming a transition zone in this area.
The situation on the Japanese side was much better. Although the buildings were damaged, they were not in ruins.
From this point alone, the strength of the artillery fire on both sides was clear. The Japanese's artillery was on a completely different level compared to the Chinese army's.
Despite this, the Japanese infantry could not break through the ruins. It was no wonder that Major General Segu was so anxious.
