Chapter 53: Breaking the City (2)
When Yu Dazhi and the others were hiding in the county town and eating meat, Zhao Zhizheng sent people to command the surrendered Imperial Association troops to clean up the big stones on the Qingshiyu Mountain Road, Hans with a beard and a few people were fiddling with the intact ironclad car, and Luo Lin, who was escorted by Luo Ying and a few mercenaries, was listening to Zhao Zhi tell the whole battle.
"Great, you only have less than 200 people, and you have annihilated more than three times your troops, when you rushed from Caojiazhuang all the way, I saw that the prisoners of war who were rescued by you were busy collecting the spoils, and this time the harvest was not small" Rowling blinked her big eyes and looked at Zhao Zhi with great admiration, knowing that Zhao Zhi was not a simple person, but with a one-to-three force against the puppet army, which is not common in the British and American armies, this Zhao Zhi shocked himself too much.
"Don't be in a hurry to be happy, if you can take Zhangwu County, that is a complete operation, it's too early to be happy" Zhao Zhi just smiled, and flicked out the cigarette butt in his fingers, one of the purposes of Zhao Zhi's visit to Shanxi was to start the brand of the mercenary company, and it was only his first step to attack Caoling Coal Mine and Caojiazhuang, and the second step was to encircle and annihilate Hashimoto who was stationed in the county, and then send people to sneak into the county seat to take Zhangwu County while the county was empty, and beat down a few groups of Han and annihilation bandits, how many supplies can be obtained, It's not the same when you hit the county seat, there are many businesses and rich Han Jian in Zhangwu County, and Zhao Zhi promised to fill Hante's pocket.
"Mr. Zhao, this ironclad car is good, as long as anyone who can drive can drive on the road" Hans wiped the oil stains on his hands with a military uniform, and walked over with a happy face, as long as the big stones on the road are cleared, this ironclad car that has become a trapped beast can be regarded as alive.
Zhao Zhi grabbed Rowling, "Let's go, I'll drive you around in an ironclad car" The ironclad car in the army is actually modified with a truck, but the armor made of steel plates is added to the truck site, and the braking and transmission parts are the same as the truck, even the steering wheel and gear are no different, Zhao Zhi drove the ironclad car and took Rowling back and forth on the mountain road for a few laps, if it weren't for the shortage of fuel, Rowling also thought about doing it himself.
The mountain road was cleaned up, Eugene led people to drive the surrendered Imperial Association troops into a mountain col, not only tied their hands and feet but also stripped them all to leave a pair of underwear, Zhao Zhi is not a living Bodhisattva nor the Eighth Route Army, he only has less than 200 people now, and he can't spare extra manpower to watch these Imperial Cooperative Army, besides, who can guarantee that these Imperial Cooperative Army will not turn back on the water and do things that are unfavorable to him, Zhao Zhi will never do it, those signs that can endanger himself and the mercenaries, he also wants to kill them in advance.
"Leave 10 people from the Eighth Route Army to watch the prisoners of the Imperial Army, Eugene's submachine gun squad and snipers follow me, and the rest of the people collect all the horses and carts, and drive back to Caojiazhuang and the deserted village to haul the loot, and get me all the items including the military uniforms of the puppet army, and we will meet in the woods 5 miles outside Zhangwu City" Zhao Zhi pulled Rowling into the ironclad car, and Chekov, who was carrying a mortar, was placed on the roof of the ironclad car by him. Eugene's team and snipers followed all the way on their bicycles.
It is said that the puppet army was defeated all the way, and Zhao Zhi's people also scattered all the way, except for the Caoling Coal Mine, Caojiazhuang and the deserted village have mercenaries left by him, and the loot left after the continuous fierce battle has not been collected, fortunately Zhao Zhi also drove a truck, otherwise it would really not be able to pull so many things, more than 100 people were busy for a while, and it was only after dark that they could rush to the meeting point that Zhao Zhi said.
Coincidentally, like Yu Dazhi in the city, Zhao Zhi prepared a large piece of meat for everyone at night, there were many mules and horses in Qingshiyu who were stoned to death, Zhao Zhi put a few horse legs on the roof of the ironclad car when he left, Eugene They also supported the young and old behind the bicycle, just enough for everyone to eat stew at night, "When you are full, you will go to sleep, and tomorrow will act at dawn to take Zhangwu County" The guard post sent by Zhao Zhi received a messenger sent by Yu Dazhi from the city, and learned that Yu Dazhi and they successfully sneaked into the county, Zhao Zhi decided to strike while the iron was hot, The time for the action was set before dawn the next day.
Zhangwu County City Gate Lou Standing Night Guard is the three squadrons of the Imperial Association Army Garrison Regiment, the three squadrons of 100 people are divided into two classes to guard the city gate of Zhangwu County, Wang Laoqi This team is the night guard behind the station, seeing that the sky is about to dawn, the team leader Wang Laoqi leaned against the corner of the city wall and took a nap, the city wall built with large pieces of bluestone valley can not even blow up the 75 mountain cannons, as long as the thick iron-clad city gate is closed, Wang Laoqi They are not afraid that someone can rush into the city even if they sleep to death.
In the night, a black shadow moved quickly along the street to the city gate, walking in the front is Yu Dazhi with a short knife in his hand, Yu Dazhi who has been hiding in the city They are divided into two groups, Yu Dazhi with a part of the mercenaries with good skills left in the house, waiting for the dawn to attack the imperial army on the night vigil on the city gate building, the two snipers with a few mercenaries who can drum explosives to block the other puppet army in the compound, Zhao Zhi hidden outside the city, can they successfully attack the county, It depends on Yu Dazhi whether they can successfully solve the imperial alliance army on the city gate.
Yu Dazhi They traveled very fast, and it didn't take long to touch the city gate tower, Yu Dazhi, who was hidden in the shadows, looked carefully, waved his hand to let the mercenaries scatter and act separately, and he slowly touched it up the steps with a knife, the city wall of Zhangwu County is very wide, and there is a tower on it, Yu Dazhi pondered, most of the imperial troops guarding the city gate at night must be hiding in the watchtower and sleeping, not to mention, Yu Dazhi and the knife just touched the city wall and heard the sound of snoring, and followed the snoring sound to find it, More than 20 imperial allies really hid in the watchtower and slept.
Dealing with such an enemy, Yu Dazhi is the best at it, took out a piece of incense and lit it and put it in, Guan Bao waited for Zhao Zhi and them to enter the city, these guys couldn't wake up, the sky gradually brightened, the smell of blood at the city gate became heavier and heavier, the mercenaries who acted separately all succeeded, including Wang Laoqi, and the imperial alliance army was greeted by the mercenaries with short knives, and there were no more living people at the city gate except for Yu Dazhi and them.
"Open the city gate and send out the signal" Yu Dazhi wiped the short knife full of blood on the soles of his feet and pinned it to his waist, and slowly opened the city gate with a few strong mercenaries, and planted a lit torch outside the city gate according to the number of left and right, and the knife left on the city gate also reversed the direction of the heavy machine gun on the city wall, and aimed the muzzle in the direction of the county town.
