Chapter 116: Defeating the Enemy

"Boom" Before Eric ordered the end of the shelling, the last shell blew up the already dilapidated city gate of Weifang, and Weifang, which had been bombarded by hundreds of shells from the rapid artillery unit, opened the door to Yan Wudao and his mercenaries. "Rush in" approached the lurking Yan Wudao with his mercenaries braved the smoke that couldn't open his eyes and rushed up, the number of the Japanese puppet army in Weifang was far more than Yan Wudao knew, it seemed that the military commander's intelligence had made a mistake, and Yan Wudao happened to meet those mercenaries who had just destroyed the Japanese command when he entered the city.

The number of troops that Yan Wudao can command now is only more than 500 people, and this is still counting the military command team and a local bandit army that he found at the door, but there are no less than 3,000 Japanese puppet troops stationed in Weifang City. 500 to 3000 is simply a battle with unequal forces, and I don't know whether it is the luck of Yan Wudao or the sorrow of the Japanese army in Weifang, just when Eric's fast artillery unit participated in the battle and bombarded the city, the Imperial Cooperative Army stationed in Weifang turned against the Japanese army and started a melee, which is why the mercenaries lurking in the city can take the Japanese command so quickly.

The Imperial Allied Army in the Japanese theater has always been in a subordinate position, but it can't stand the large number of Imperial Allied soldiers, and the number of Imperial Allied troops in many Japanese-controlled areas far exceeds the Japanese army that is already stretched thin, and the same is true for Weifang. Weifang's 3000 puppet army in the Imperial Association army accounted for more than half, although the Japanese army is well-armed and well-trained, but can not stand the Imperial Association soldiers, when Yan Wudao entered the city, the melee between the Imperial Association Army and the Japanese army has already developed into a street fight, but let the mercenaries who are good at street fighting pick up a big bargain.

After the first battle of Weifang, Eric, who had replenished the arsenal of the Japanese army in the city with shells and fuel, went south to the cities, and Weifang, which had fallen into chaos, was handed over to Yan Wudao. Yan Wudao is obviously not proficient in internal affairs, he wants to follow the original Zhao Zhi in Zhangwu County, but the rich families in Weifang City ignore the mercenaries he sent to the door, and even those people are closed, making Weifang as dead as a curfew all day.

It's obviously not a good way to hide and not go out, Yan Wudao is from the rivers and lakes, and the rivers and lakes naturally have their own methods. The puppet police chief, who had no time to escape from Weifang with his little wife and gold and silver, was caught by Yan Wudao, who smashed open the prison door of the police station with a sledgehammer and released all the prisoners who were imprisoned in the police station under various names. "Do you want to be a shrunken turtle who has been bullied for the rest of your life or be an upright person?" Throwing down a cruel sentence and a bunch of weapons captured from the Japanese army, Yan Wudao stared fiercely at the 100-odd prisoners in front of him.

"Pick up the guns on the ground and follow my men to keep the city going, and have the money, food, and dignity for you. If you don't want to follow us, you can only trouble you to go back to the prison by yourself, and I don't have time to take care of you wretches now. Yan Wudao threw the multiple-choice question to these people to choose by themselves, forcing them can only make these people dissatisfied with themselves, Yan Wudao doesn't want these people to use the weapons on the ground to fight against him. People have always been social animals, and blind obedience is almost innate, so the first person gritted his teeth and picked up a rifle from the ground, and people began to come out to pick up guns in the silent crowd.

"Shut them up and leave them some food and water." There are still a few people who have been hesitant, and Yan Wudao doesn't care whether these people have been wronged by the police station or not, he has no extra people to take care of these people, so he can only put them back in prison first, and then slowly ask about the matter when he has free his hands. The confused No. 100 prisoner was taken to the ruined city gate with his newly acquired rifle and bullet box, where there were still more than 400 surviving imperial allies waiting for Yan Wudao's lecture.

"We are the troops of the Thunder, all the Japanese troops in Weifang City have been killed by us, I don't need you to join our Thunder, I just need you people to help maintain the continuity of the city until our reinforcements rush over." The Imperial Cooperative Army had already taken off its military uniform and was only wearing a white shirt, and the one hundred and ten ragged prisoners were very conspicuous in the bright white shirts, but this was not the time to care about these, Yan Wudao needed to deal with the possible reinforcements of the Japanese puppet army immediately.

"Battalion Commander Ma, your people are familiar with the situation in the city, first take 100 people to take those who were released from the prison just now to inspect the city, and in addition, you personally take 100 people to copy all the traitors and puppet government officials who looted the people's fat and ointment, and close the door and count the property." Yan Wudao knew that these Imperial Cooperative Army dared to defect to the battlefield just to seek a way to live, if there was no benefit for them, maybe these Imperial Cooperative Army would also fight against him, and now there are not enough people under him, so he simply handed over the matter of raiding the house to the Imperial Cooperative Army, anyway, the big head will still be put in the pocket of Thunder.

The battalion commander of the Imperial Association Army, who was plowed out of a blood groove by a stray bullet on his cheeks, did not expect a big cake to hit him like this, and at that moment Mei Zizi took his 200 Imperial Association troops and those prisoners into the city in a hurry. Since ancient times, this family has been a fat poor, and Lord Yama is not a hungry ghost, not to mention that he and his brothers are very familiar with the situation in Weifang City, and it is the most suitable thing to do.

Raiding the house is naturally a chicken, flying and jumping, but in the face of 200 black holes and the murderous eyes of the Imperial Association Army anyway, the puppet government officials who were already afraid of death could only be turtles with shrunken heads, and those who dared to resist were immediately put to the ground by a burst of rifle butts, and finally ended up being imprisoned. The No. 100 prisoner, who was locked up in the police station and suffered a lot, finally ushered in the opportunity to raise his eyebrows, and under the deliberate indulgence of Yan Wudao, the prisoners smashed open the homes of several wealthy families in the city one after another.

Instead of robbing property or molesting the ladies of rich families, the prisoners only robbed a large number of clothes and food, and the unkempt and ragged prisoner No. 100 was transformed into a brightly dressed city guard with a big gun on his back in the blink of an eye. Of course, there are also rich people who want money and don't want their lives to find Yan Wudao, but Yan Wudao doesn't pay attention to these people at all, you don't come when Lao Tzu sends someone to invite you to come, and now you are robbed of some clothes and food, and Lao Tzu is not your family's nursing home.

The rich people who came to the door were beaten out with sticks, and Yan Wudao, who was busy building fortifications, had no time to deal with these fat guys, and the delayed reinforcements were what Yan Wudao needed to worry about. According to the route drawn for them in the squad plan and the familiarity of the military command team with the terrain in this area, the Jewish airborne troops should have arrived in Weifang at this time, but Yan Wudao had not even seen their shadows.

Yan Wudao was not worried that he would be besieged by the Japanese puppet army troops who rushed to Weifang for help, nor was he worried about the Japanese spies and those hardcore traitors who might be lurking in Weifang City, he was worried that the Jewish airborne troops who were supposed to come here would be in trouble. Unlike the mercenaries, although the Jewish airborne troops have also received a certain amount of training in mountain warfare, their main subjects are still airborne operations and roundabout rush warfare, and the Jewish airborne troops carry American-style weapons and equipment, once their ammunition supply problems, Yan Wudao does not know if they can withstand the same number of Japanese sieges.

"Head, do you want to send one of our people to take a look." The proposal of Yan Wudao's mercenaries seemed ordinary but was actually dangerous, and with the help of Eric's rapid artillery troops, Yan Wudao took Weifang. But after Eric took his more than 1,000 men south to the cities, Yan Wudao only had 500 troops left at his disposal and the newly recruited 400 Imperial Allies, and then there were the 100 prisoners city defense team. Seeing that he now has more than a thousand troops available, Yan Wudao knows that the only ones who can really come in handy are the less than 400 mercenaries he brought.

"Send a scout team out of the city to search 20 miles northwest, and use walkie-talkies to contact the city every half hour." Weifang has been conquered, but it is only Weifang City, some strongholds around Weifang are still in the hands of the Japanese puppet army, in order to defend Weifang, Yan Wudao will not draw too many troops out of the city to explore the enemy's situation, then the mercenaries out of the city may encounter a large number of Japanese puppet army outside the city to pursue and encircle. Yan Wudao couldn't and didn't want to take this risk, but the current situation didn't allow him to refuse this proposal, because the unknown enemy situation was a big problem after all.

200 anyway, the Imperial Association army in the city raided the house to make the whole Weifang into chaos, Yan Wudao wants this chaos, only chaos, will more people out of the house, only the people hiding at home out of the house, Yan Wudao's city defense team can find the people to help build fortifications. Everything in the Japanese ammunition depot was moved onto the broken city wall by Yan Wudao, Eric just took all the shells suitable for caliber and two 75 mountain guns that the Japanese army didn't have time to pull out, Yan Wudao now has weapons and ammunition that can equip at least nearly a thousand people, but he doesn't have so many troops now.

Recruiting troops from Weifang City is the only way and method that can solve Yan Wudao's lack of troops, but looking at the closed gates and empty streets in the city, Yan Wudao knows that this method will not work, and he is also very worried about handing over his back to a rookie on the battlefield who has not even held a gun. "Send a report to the headquarters that Weifang has been conquered, and our casualties are slight, and ask for the specific location of the backup troops." The scout team had already left Weifang to search northwest, and Yan Wudao remembered that he still had two radios in his hand that could contact the headquarters.
