Yan Wenbin thought for a moment and said. All along, no one in his troops knew how to use cannons. No one even knew how to use mortars. What could Yan Wenbin do?
"I say, Old Yan, what exactly do you want to do? Why haven't I understood it yet?”
Wang Mingzhi really couldn't understand Yan Wenbin's actions. He had woken up in the middle of the night to start moving.
"Haha! Just watch!"
Yan Wenbin smiled and patted his shoulder.
At 2:40 in the morning, all the soldiers of the Sichuan Army were ready in the dark. There was no fire or light.
At this time, the Japanese soldiers were sleeping soundly, but they were still on high alert. Yan Wenbin looked at the piles of plowing fires in the Japanese camp in the dark, his face expressionless.
Wang Mingzhi was lying beside him.
"Regiment Commander, all the troops have arrived at their designated positions!”
Zhao Deli whispered to Yan Wenbin.
"Very good! Pass down my order, all troops use my gunshot as a signal!”
"Yes, sir!"
Zhao Deli, the temporary advisor, left again. Yan Wenbin looked at the time and the Japanese on the other side.
This time, Wang Mingzhi did not ask again. He seemed to have guessed something.
Time passed by, and at three in the morning, Yan Wenbin took a Type 38 rifle and aimed at a heavy machine gunner in the Japanese heavy machine gun position in the distance.
"Bang ~"
A gunshot rang out, and the Japanese soldier fell to the ground.
"Move out!"
The same voice could be heard from all over the outskirts of Niutang Town.
Bang! Bang! Bang!
"Boom!"
Immediately after, intense gunfire sounded. The sound of AK47 rifles, RPK light machine guns, and mortars could be heard.
Gunshots rang out, and the Japanese soldiers were woken up from their deep sleep. They held their weapons and looked around. Even though their minds had not recovered from their daze, they knew in their hearts that the Chinese army had broken out of the encirclement.
Yada Yuta was also woken up from his sleep. He put on his military uniform and walked out.
"Did the army break through?”
Yada Kota walked out of the tent and asked in a deep voice.
"Not yet, but now that our troops around Niutang Town have been attacked by them, we still don't know if they will break through or not!”
The Chief of Staff, Eguchi Keita, was also a little confused. He did not know what the Chinese army was going to do.
How could they attack so many places at the same time? Moreover, they had fired first and exposed their target. Moreover, according to what they knew, there were not many Chinese soldiers. How could they break out of the encirclement like this?
"Give me the map!"
After about half a minute, Yada Yuta felt that his brain was completely active and said to a soldier beside him.
"Ha. Yi."
Soon, Eguchi Keita returned. He looked at Yada Yuta and said,""Your Excellency, those troops have not shown themselves since the shooting. They had been shooting in the dark. However, the various troops replied that their attacks were very strong and their firepower was very fierce!”
"How can you attack when you've never shown your face? As for the firepower, didn't we know that before?”
After saying this, Yada turned to look at Eguchi Keita and said,""Eguchi-kun, you have to remember that sometimes the enemy's powerful firepower is not necessarily to attack or break out of the encirclement.”
After saying this, Yada Kota said in a deep voice,"Pass on my order. All troops must strictly guard their positions and prevent the Japanese army from breaking out. At the same time, tell Yamada Danji to prepare. Tonight will be a sleepless night!”
...............
The gunshots continued to ring out. Yan Wenbin's Sichuan troops continued to fight, but they did not show their faces outside.
Yan Wenbin climbed on the roof and looked at the fire outside. He couldn't help but push it down and light a cigarette for himself on the other side of the roof. Wang Mingzhi also came over to light one.
Yan Wenbin took out a pocket watch from his pocket. He had obtained it from the Japanese. He looked at the time and said,"It's already 3:40. I think it's about time!”
"Go tell Zhao Deli and Hua Qizhi to carry out the second step of the plan!”
Yan Wenbin pulled over a soldier beside him and said.
"Yes, sir!"
The soldier left, and Yan Wenbin continued to smoke his cigarette. Wang Mingzhi didn't ask and just stayed there to smoke with him.
After a while, the gunshots from the north of Niutang Town suddenly stopped, as if they had stopped shooting.
The gunshots in the north of Niutang Town stopped. Not only did Wang Mingzhi hear it, but Yada Yuta also heard it.
"Why did the gunshots from the north stop? Go and check what's going on!"
Yada Yuta grabbed a soldier beside him and said.
"Ha ~ Yi ~"
"Hack! What's going on? Go and see what's going on with the gunshots from the west. Why did they stop?”
"Ha ~ Yi ~"
Yada Kota grabbed another soldier and shouted. Yada Yuta clearly felt that something was wrong.
...........
At this time, in the north of Niutang Town, Yu Fei was leading his 2nd Battalion and quietly approaching the Japanese's position. The Japanese were now focusing on their front. After all, the two sides had been fighting so fiercely just now. Now that the Chinese side had stopped firing, even ghosts knew that there was something wrong.
When Yu Fei's 2nd Battalion was still 200 meters away from them and would be exposed to the flames if they got any closer, Yu Fei made his move.
"Mortars!"
These three simple words caused more than ten mortar shells to fly towards the Japanese army's position.
"Boom!"
In a series of mortar explosions, the Sichuan Army's forces were scattered and launched an attack on the Japanese positions.
At the beginning, the Sichuan army did not know what a scattered line attack was. They attacked and rushed forward like a swarm of bees. In a defensive position with light and heavy machine guns, charging like this was simply courting death.
Therefore, Yan Wenbin told them later that when attacking, they must not squeeze together. They must spread out. There must be a certain distance between each person. This was why they were attacking in a scattered line. Although this scattered line was still far from the regular line, it was at least better than the previous one.
"Ba ~ ga ~ zhi. na. army has begun to break out! Send a message to the colonel and request for backup!”
A Japanese lieutenant shouted.
