Bright Sword: Construction starts from southeastern Shanxi

Suddenly, someone spoke to the man who looked like a colonel.

"Captain, this little devil is too lax!"

"You know, our troops are outside the city attacking it."

Hearing this man's words, the man dressed in the uniform of a Japanese colonel smiled and then explained.

"Captain Liu, this is a first for the Japanese army. The Japs may have such tactics at the moment, but they are only theoretical. The troops below don't know about it."

"This is the first time it's been possible. I'm afraid the Japanese will learn from this and it won't work in the future."

After hearing the captain's explanation, Captain Liu immediately understood that the current special operations were new tactics for troops from all countries. So far, the only troop that had actually used them in actual combat was probably their division.

At this point, if there were any surviving Japanese soldiers, they would probably realize instantly that this was not a secret unit of the Locust Army, but the Eighth Route Army in disguise.

The man in front of him, dressed in the uniform of a Japanese colonel, was Zhou Weiguo, the captain of the 389th Division's Special Operations Battalion.

Seeing that the surrounding Japanese troops had been eliminated, the time was already 11:50.

Looking at the time on his watch, Zhou Weiguo said immediately.

"Captain Liu, prepare to fire a signal flare at twelve o'clock to alert the brothers in various parts of the city to take action!"

Then he immediately ordered the collection of all valuables in the entire headquarters.

Captain Liu, who received the order, immediately noted the time and prepared to send a signal.

At twelve o'clock, the signal flare was launched into the air.

At this time, whether inside or outside the city, people could see a red flare rising in the center of the city.

In the barracks near the south city wall.

At this time, in addition to the troops on the city walls and in the strongholds outside the city, there were also some reserve Japanese troops staying in the barracks.

In an abandoned stable not far behind the barracks, a squadron of Eighth Route Army soldiers who had been lurking nearby saw the signal sent from the city and immediately turned around and spoke to those around them.

"Hurry up!"

"Team one, prepare to fire. Team two, provide cover. Team three, move freely around and fire."

As the man gave the order, the six 82mm mortars that had been assembled on the side began to bombard most of the Japanese dormitories.

At the same time, the third team began to lurk in the surrounding area in groups of three and shot down the searchlights of the Japanese barracks.

The second team also began to split into four groups and began to prepare for defense against the Japanese troops that might appear around them at any time.

As six shells fell into the Japanese camp, the entire barracks was filled with explosions. At the same time, the Japanese soldiers who had just left the dormitory were unlucky enough to run into a team of the special operations brigade lying in ambush outside, and were instantly shot into pieces.

Because the soldiers of the special operations brigade had silencers installed on their submachine guns, the entire barracks began to fall into chaos when these reserve Japanese troops could not find any enemies to attack.

At the same time, this scene continued to happen in various places in the city, such as the Japanese army's supply guardhouse, the city's telegraph office, and the patrols on the streets. Suddenly, the whole city began to become chaotic.

Outside the South Gate Tower.

The 4th and 5th Battalions of the independent detachment were continuously attacking the Japanese city walls under the command of the 4th Battalion Commander Liu Hua and the 5th Battalion Commander Guan Dashan.

Now, the two battalions of the independent detachment have attacked the Japanese city gate.

At this time, Li Yunlong, together with the political commissar Zhong Zhicheng, and several battalion and regiment-level cadres, were all looking at the city wall in front of them, waiting for the signal from the city.

When Li Yunlong saw the signal flares rising in the city, he immediately realized that the troops that had sneaked into the city earlier had begun to take action.

Therefore, someone was immediately sent to notify the artillery regiment in the rear to prepare to cover the independent detachment's siege of the city.
