Harada was completely shattered!
"Bagayalu, one general is so incompetent that he has exhausted the three armies!"
"I've told you a long time ago that Chu Xiong is not as simple as they think, and they can't even see such an obvious plan to lure the tiger away from the mountain;
How could a small Nie County satisfy Chu Xiong's appetite?
I thought from beginning to end that Chu Xiong’s target would be Yuci City, where there were supplies and equipment needed by the Eighth Route Army, and Chu Xiong would not be so stupid as to use 5,000 men to ambush a brigade of the Imperial Army halfway!
Okay now, we have been transferred 80 kilometers away, and it will take at least two days to rush back. If Chuxiong leaves a small group of troops to harass, we may not be able to arrive even in two days;
There is only one brigade in Yuci City, and it is hard to say whether it can hold it for two days!
Bagaya Road! "
Lieutenant Colonel Arai understood the mood of Major General Harada very well. Not only did he have to walk 70 to 80 kilometers in vain for a small Nirvana city, he was also attacked by the Eighth Route Army, losing a brigade and a lot of supplies;
Now my hometown Yuci is besieged by Chuxiong. Once the city is defeated, the consequences will be disastrous!
The large amount of wealth they have collected in China over the years is all in Yuci City. It is their pension money. Not only the brigade commander has it, but he, the chief of staff, also has it.
"Your Excellency, General, Yuci City is the foundation of our Eighth Brigade. As far as the headquarters is concerned, if Yuci City is lost, just send troops to take it back;
Chuxiong will never occupy Yuci for a long time. What he wants is the materials and wealth in Yuci City. Once the city is destroyed, thousands of them can evacuate Yuci City in one day. What is the point of accepting an empty city when we return?
I suggest that the rear team immediately change to the front team, or the cavalry squadron and the chariot squadron clear the way, and rush back to Yuci City on a starry night to catch Chu Xiong off guard! "
Wealth can easily blind people. When they thought that the wealth they had worked so hard to save in Yuci City might be robbed by Chuxiong, Major General Harada and Lieutenant Colonel Arai were eager to return home. They wished they could get their wings and fly back, even if they did not mind the hard work of marching day and night. Got it!
Major General Harada adopted Lieutenant Colonel Arai's suggestion and gave up aiding Nirvana. The rear team changed to the front team and returned to Yuci City.
The news of the Japanese's return to Yuci soon spread to Nie City. Hasegawa was completely dumbfounded. Nie County became an outcast and its morale plummeted. Especially the puppet troops in the city had blatantly disobeyed orders!
Hasegawa Kazuya did not dare to push too hard, lest he force the puppet army to rebel.
Nie County's attack was a standard siege of three buildings, leaving a passage through the north gate for the Japanese to escape;
Of course, this is just an illusion, just a tactical need. China has had this set of tactics since two thousand years ago, and it has been tried and true.
Outside the north gate, out of sight of the Japanese and puppet troops, the 1st Battalion of the 882nd Regiment led by Li Qing had set up pocket formations. How could these hundreds of Japanese soldiers let them go?
After the 8th Independent Brigade returned to the original route, Nirvana lost its value, and the 881st Regiment began to take action...
"Qin Feng, the Japanese reinforcements have been transferred back by the brigade commander. This ripe peach in Nie County can be swallowed! Launch a general attack and resolve the battle before dark!"
Chen Hao no longer planned to play with the Japanese and issued the general attack order. Qin Feng had been waiting for him and said excitedly:
"Commander, just watch, we will capture Nie County with one charge!"
After Qin Feng finished speaking, he went to make arrangements for the general attack. After two days of exhaustion, the Japs in the city had at most four or five hundred people left. Although the puppet army still had one regiment, the more puppet troops there were at this time, the more destabilizing it became. .
As Chen Hao and Li Qing expected, the military morale in Nirvana City has been weakened, the conflict between the puppet army commander and Hasegawa Ichi has intensified, and the conflict between the two sides is about to break out!
Hasegawa sent someone to call the commander of the puppet army to the city defense headquarters for a meeting, but the commander of the puppet army refused because he was not feeling well. This was the first time that the commander of the puppet army blatantly refused to carry out Hasegawa's order.
"Your Excellency Captain, Liu Mazi's conscience has been greatly damaged. He is dying. Qianye requests to lead the warriors to wipe out the Imperial Alliance Army!"
Captain Chiba suggested to Hasegawa angrily.
Hasegawa Kazuya wanted to kill Liu Mazi with a knife, and he had this idea in mind when he informed him that he was coming to the meeting. Unfortunately, Liu Mazi was not fooled at all. He hid in the regiment headquarters of the Imperial Association Legion, with a whole regiment beside him.
Major Hase is left with the Chiba Squadron, a mobile force that is not fully organized. If there is a conflict with the puppet army, it will only take advantage of the Eighth Route Army outside the city!
"Qianye-kun, now is not the time to deal with Liu Mazi. There are only more than 400 imperial troops left in the city who can fight. Even if the imperial army can fight one against three, Nirvana cannot be defended. It cannot be forced at this time. To oppose Liu Mazi, everything must wait until the Eighth Route Army is defeated—"
"Boom boom boom..."
"Boom boom boom boom..."
Before Hase could finish his words, the artillery battalion of the 882nd Regiment opened fire. At the same time, the 92nd Infantry Cannon captured during the reinforcements and several 90mm mortars were all put to use!
"Bagaya Road, the Eighth Route Army may be about to launch a general attack. Chiba-kun, your squadron quickly reinforces the east city gate and must withstand the Eighth Route Army's attack."
Qianye took the order and left with excitement on his face. A Japanese like him didn't take life seriously at all. As long as there was a battle, he would be excited.
But not everyone is as unafraid of death as he is. After Chiba led the final reserve team to reinforce the East Gate, Hasegawa Ichi was left with only the brigade, which made people with serious intentions start to have evil thoughts...
Xie Laosan, Liu Mazi’s die-hard second battalion commander at the Puppet Legion Headquarters, suggested to Liu Mazi:
"Commander, the artillery fire at the east city gate is very fierce. The Eighth Route Army must be serious this time. The last batch of Japanese soldiers have just reinforced the city wall. While the Japanese soldiers are busy defending the city, you can lead your brothers to withdraw from the north gate!
There is only one Japanese team at the north gate, and the others are all our brothers. We will just stop doing nothing and destroy this team. The brothers will fight out from the north gate, and then find a cottage to stay. The food is popular and the spicy food is not as good as for The devil is working hard to be strong? "
Liu Mazi thought for a while and said:
"Brother, the North Gate is not what you think. Maybe the Eighth Route Army outside has already packed its pockets and is waiting for us to chase.
Didn't you notice that the Eighth Route Army lost a lot of people? "
Xie Laosan suddenly realized that there really weren’t two regiments attacking the city at the east gate, but the other people——”
Xie Laosan is not an idiot. He also knows the dirty tricks of his ancestors. The North Gate may seem like a way out, but it is actually a way of no return!
After thinking about it, Xie Laosan broke into a cold sweat and stammered:
"Captain, what should we do? We are senior and junior, we cannot be buried with the Japanese!"
When Liu Mazi saw that the heat was almost done, he began to make it clear:
"Brother, there is only one way to survive now. We have to perform meritorious deeds to atone for our sins. There are not many people around Changgu old devil anymore. There is only a guard team in the sky, and we still have a reinforced battalion on hand-"
Xie Laosan immediately understood what he was saying, his heart pounded, and he said viciously:
"Afraid of a ball, do it!"
