Chapter 448 Fang Ximen seizes the East City Gate
The torches started to be lit one by one, and finally countless torches were lit.
The torches illuminated the outside of the city and also illuminated the Eighth Route Army troops standing silently below.
Kawano: When did these Eighth Route Army troops arrive?
Looking at the dense formation outside, Second Lieutenant Kawano's eyes were bloodshot.
Unexpectedly, without anyone noticing, five or six thousand Eighth Route Army soldiers had already moved in front of him.
No wonder Captain Huang of the Imperial Army was unwilling to turn on the searchlight.
He also said that he was afraid of exposing the targets on the city wall and giving the Eighth Route Army outside an opportunity to take advantage.
This is all nonsense.
Captain Huang is a spy who secretly communicates with the Eighth Route Army.
Just as Lieutenant Kawano was about to draw out his Type 14 Nambu pistol.
He suddenly felt a chill on his neck, as if something was spurting out from his neck.
I saw that Captain Huang rubbed a bloody dagger on Lieutenant Kawano's uniform and then put it away.
It turned out that he took advantage of Kawano's distraction, pulled out a dagger, and slashed Kawano's neck.
The Imperial Army on the city wall looked at Captain Huang, who had already taken action against the Japs, and they also attacked the Japanese troops nearby.
These Imperial Army troops, which looked tough in appearance, had already been assigned their targets.
The two or three Japanese soldiers closest to them pounced on the Japanese soldiers around them at the same time.
Some tried to cover their mouths, while others tried to grab their guns.
This is to control those little Japanese devils and prevent them from alerting other Japanese devils through sound.
There was another one who was responsible for wielding the knife, and he stabbed the dagger directly into the Japanese soldier's chest.
Then he did not forget to twist the handle of the knife to ensure that the Japanese soldiers would lose their ability to resist.
They waited until the stabbed Japanese soldiers stopped struggling before putting the fourteen of them to the ground.
Seeing that the Japanese had been wiped out, Captain Huang immediately shouted to the officer waving the torch.
"Uncle, I'm going to open the gate of Yangquan County."
After saying this, he took his men down the city wall and opened the city gate.
Captain Huang's cousin smiled bitterly and shook his head.
Alas, this is really a troublesome brat.
The Imperial Army officer on the city wall was Fang Ximen, who followed Song Wenwan back to Gannan for further studies.
Because of Fang Ximen's extraordinary tactical attainments, he was finally transferred to a new department.
In the newly formed Air Force Marine Division, he served as the commander of the 2nd Regiment of the 1st Brigade.
The first regiment that attacked the west gate of Yangquan County was commanded by Brigade Commander Liao Yitian.
The one who attacked the east gate of Yangquan County was the new regiment commander Fang Ximen.
Fang Ximen is as his name suggests, he is elegant and handsome, and he is also a good fighter.
Especially when he was studying in Longshui, he also got married with a good wife.
His wife's family were disaster victims who fled from Shanxi.
My father-in-law's business in Longshui has achieved some success, and the girl is also very pretty.
Fang Ximen himself was also highly regarded by Song Wenwan and was about to be entrusted with important tasks.
All of a sudden, everyone was extremely envious of Fang Ximen's situation.
It’s a pity that no one is good forever, and no flower is red forever.
No one knew when the nickname of Ximen Daguanren was given to him.
When his father-in-law heard this, he was furious, and this almost ruined his marriage.
In the end, it was Song Wenwan and Political Commissar Mo who took turns slamming the table at the meeting, thus clearing Comrade Ximen's name.
This time when leading the team out, he was responsible for the vanguard and first brought his men to Yangquan area to lie in ambush.
Unexpectedly, during a reconnaissance outside Yangquan, they were blocked in an inn by a group of Imperial Army troops.
As soon as they saw the company commander of the Imperial Army, they asked about their backgrounds.
Fang Xilai revealed the situation of his father-in-law's family and said that he was the son-in-law of the Huang family.
This time I came to Yangquan, at the request of my father-in-law, to look for relatives in my hometown.
In fact, Fang Xilai just said it casually, and he didn't expect the Imperial Army to believe it.
The elite soldiers of the Air Force Marine Division outside are ready.
Once they find something is wrong, they will shoot and rob people.
There were only a hundred or so Imperial Army troops, so they didn't take them seriously.
Who knew that things would change? The family of the company commander of the Imperial Army was actually related to his wife.
According to seniority, Captain Huang has to call Fang Xilai's wife "cousin".
Just like that, the two of them hugged each other and cried as they recognized each other as relatives in the inn.
When Fang Xilai was invited back home by Captain Huang, he found out that everyone in the Huang family disliked this traitorous captain.
Seeing him coming back, they actually closed the door and opened the ancestral hall, intending to punish him according to the family rules.
Looking at Captain Huang, who looked as if he was about to be stabbed, Fang Xilai felt that he could still be rescued.
So he asked God to send everyone away, and he also told another story of his origin.
In this way, Captain Huang was successfully instigated to rebel by his cousin.
Fang Xilai also brought his own action team and followed Captain Huang into Yangquan.
It just so happened that Captain Huang was guarding the east gate tonight, so the plan of surrendering the city was decided.
It was also unlucky for those Japanese military police that they were assigned to the East Gate to monitor the Imperial Army.
Otherwise, they wouldn't have died so quickly. They didn't even get the treatment they deserved as wounded soldiers.
The Japanese squadron leader and gendarmerie captain in front were setting up machine gun positions on the city wall.
After all, from the firelight under the city just now, it can be seen that there should be more than 5,000 Eighth Route Army soldiers outside.
Looking at their brand new military uniforms, they are covered with patches piled on top of each other.
Based on their past experience, this should be the elite force of the Eighth Route Army.
Just when the two of them were still worrying about how to defend on the city wall.
The east gate of Yangquan County has opened its arms to the first regiment from Fang Ximen.
The soldiers of the 1st Regiment of the Marine Brigade have quietly begun to enter the city.
Captain Huang at the city gate was quite surprised. These were elite troops, absolutely elite troops.
I didn't expect that my cousin would be so popular in the Gansu Army.
A regimental commander who can command 5,000 elite soldiers, especially those with artillery.
If he were leading troops in the Central Army, he would also be a brigadier general with a sword.
Now I am following my cousin's husband and have a bright future ahead of me.
You don’t have to be poked in the spine and called a traitor by the elders at home.
These good days are truly coming, and nothing can stop them.
Fang Ximen directly commanded the soldiers of their regiment to attack important departments inside Yangquan County.
Looking at Captain Huang, who was still standing in a daze at the city gate, Fang Ximen patted him on the back of the head.
"What are you thinking about? Send out your trusted men to lead my troops into the city."
Watching Captain Huang happily arranging personnel to cooperate with the First Regiment of the Marine Brigade.
Fang Ximen looked at the busy Captain Huang and couldn't help shaking his head.
Although his eldest nephew became a company commander of the Imperial Army, he did not voluntarily surrender to the enemy.
Most of these Imperial Army soldiers followed their superiors and surrendered to the enemy.
He was betrayed by his superior and led directly into the enemy's encirclement, becoming a traitor without knowing it.
But because of his family situation, he can still stick to his bottom line.
Although he was a traitor, he also knew to restrain his subordinates and not to harm the civilians living near the base.
For this reason, Fang Ximen decided to lend a hand to Captain Huang and give him a chance to redeem himself with merit.
