Under the leadership of the Japanese leader Cao, the 13 Japanese soldiers in this unit quickly turned around and ran towards the abandoned village.
Just as the leading Japanese soldier turned the corner, he suddenly found a straw man standing upright against the mountain wall facing him.
The distance between the two sides is less than 10 meters.
Before the frightened Japs could react, "Pfft!" A low voice that only he could hear sounded in his ears, and at the same time, he felt that something was suddenly drilled into his forehead. , and then everything went dark.
Just when he was about to lose his last consciousness, he seemed to hear a series of the same popping sounds in his ears.
The shooting position chosen by Zhou Wen was very concealed. It happened to be at a corner where the Japanese patrol turned out from the foot of the mountain. Behind him were ruins blocking the view of the Japanese position, and in front of him was a corner blocked by the mountain wall.
The Japanese army was in front and behind, and Zhou Wen could shoot calmly at this corner, killing any one he exposed. From such a close distance, Zhou Wen could kill a child with one shot.
And Zhang Xiaoping was not idle either.
Just before, not long after the Japs patrol passed by the village, Zhang Xiaoping, who was already familiar with the rules of Japs patrol, quietly followed them.
Because he knew that his own artillery was about to fire, and the patrol in front of him was the Japanese closest to the village, so of course he had to observe their movements at all times.
The subsequent development of events was completely controlled by Zhang Xiaoping. When the Japanese turned around and rushed toward the village, Zhou Wen, who got the news, quickly withdrew from the village and set up an ambush on the mountainside at the entrance of the village, while Zhang Xiaoping made a surprise attack from behind.
The two brothers, each armed with a Colt M1911 pistol with a silencer, killed all 13 Japs at the foot of the mountain without even changing the magazine.
…
At this time, at the headquarters of the Japanese 6th Division in Dushan County, Lieutenant General Masaemon Sakamoto, who looked like a thin old man, could no longer control his emotions. He pulled out his command sword and slashed it fiercely, killing A corner of the commander's desk fell to the ground.
I saw blue veins popping out on his face, spitting flying, and yelling crazily: "Baga! Are the intelligence departments all a bunch of pigs? The army has such important information as heavy artillery, but they don't know anything about it. The military department gave them Have all the funds been eaten up by these incompetent idiots?”
At this point, Masaemon Sakamoto's ferocious eyes began to glance at several senior officers who stood with their heads bowed respectfully and remained silent. Every Japanese officer who was glanced at by his evil wolf-like eyes couldn't help but lower their heads lower, for fear that the Lieutenant General would put the blame on themselves.
All of them knew that this was a big deal today. Even if only the artillery of the 6th Division was attacked and destroyed, it would be a huge event for the entire Kwantung Army.
All Japanese officers present knew that the artillery was not ordinary infantry, but a real technical force.
If tens of thousands of infantrymen die, it will be a loss for the empire, but as the empire does not currently have a large-scale military expansion, it can be replenished by randomly picking some of the millions of reserve troops, and it is still the best. A kind of veteran.
But artillery is different. The manpower, material resources and time required to train an artillery are several times that of infantry, and there are also those precious cannons.
Therefore, the loss of artillery is unbearable for any military commander of the imperial army.
What's more, the biggest loss this time was the heavy artillery brigade seconded from the North Korean garrison. I heard that all four 150mm howitzers were destroyed, and most of the artillery personnel were killed.
Matters with friendly forces are difficult to deal with. Whether it is the September 18th Incident or the Rehe Incident, the North Korean garrison has fully supported the Kwantung Army in every action. It really requires money to give money and strength to contribute.
Well now, most of the only heavy artillery brigade they had was wiped out. There were countless casualties among officers and soldiers, and the responsibility was entirely our own.
Now I don't know how the division commander will explain to his old classmate. Looking at his murderous eyes, these Japanese officers can be said to be in danger and trembling.
At this moment, the chief of staff rushed into the headquarters, holding a telegram in his hand and saying: "Your Excellency, division commander, our reconnaissance plane has discovered the location of the Zhina army's artillery, just behind Fenghuang Mountain. They Attack underway and requesting bomber reinforcements.”
Sakamoto Masaemon heard the message and took the message. He quickly glanced at it and ordered: "Contact the air wing immediately and ask them to send bombers as soon as possible."
"But..." the chief of staff hesitated for a moment, and then said: "I have contacted before, and Captain Laichuan reported that their bombers are bombing Gubeikou, and they cannot remove the extra aircraft for the time being..."
"Baga! I don't need to hear anything about Gubeikou and Gunankou. I want their planes to quickly bomb the Zina artillery position in Lengkou now, and immediately, immediately. Tell Colonel Laichuan that if there is any hesitation, I will Court-martial him.”
"Hey!"
Watching the chief of staff hurriedly walk to the telecommunications section next door, Sakamoto Masaemon turned to one of the colonel officers and said, "Colonel Sano."
The officer who was named became nervous and hurriedly took a step forward and said, "Hey! Please give instructions to the division commander."
"Your baggage regiment is the most responsible for this incident. The entire artillery position is guarded and guarded by your troops. You actually let Zhi Na's scouts sneak in. How do you explain it to the military headquarters?"
"Humble job...humble job..."
The captain of the supply chain named Sano was dripping with cold sweat from his head. His whole body was trembling, but he couldn't say the words to immediately commit seppuku.
One is that he dare not say it and is reluctant to die; the other is that he really feels a little wronged and unwilling to accept it.
To say that the artillery position was attacked this time, of course he also had a lot of responsibility. After all, the enemy's artillery observers sneaked in under the nose of his own troops.
However, the intelligence department of the military ministry knew nothing about the sudden emergence of a heavy artillery unit from the Chinese army, leaving the artillery unit unprepared. Moreover, the artillery position was set up in an open area like the Shah River, which was also decided by the staff of the division and regiment headquarters. But now they have to put all the blame on themselves, which really makes me feel a little dissatisfied.
At this time, there was a brief silence in the command post, except for the sound of Colonel Sano's increasingly heavy breathing. The air seemed to be frozen, and it was so depressing that people could not breathe. All the Japanese officers felt as if a rabbit was dead and a fox was dead.
At this time, Sakamoto Masaemon slowly said: "Of course, I know that this is not your responsibility alone. So... I will give you another chance to make a difference."
Colonel Sano was granted amnesty, and he took a long breath and said: "Please give me your instructions, the division commander."
"The scouts who find Zhi Na will want to see him alive and his body dead."
"Hey!"
