As groups of puppet troops took the lead in escaping, the unsteady elements among the Japs also began to flee, and like a plague, it soon affected most of the Japs;
Three regiments of the Eighth Route Army took the opportunity to cover up the attack and knocked groups of Japanese to the ground...
In the Japanese headquarters, Jiro Nakayama was like a defeated rooster, slumped on a chair. He wanted to do like other generals, pull out his dagger and commit seppuku to thank the emperor, but he couldn't do it and couldn't bear to part with this colorful world;
Over the years, he had saved more money than he could spend in a lifetime, as well as more than a dozen boxes of treasures, which he managed to get back to China.
If he dies like this, the money will belong to others, and he won't accept it!
"Your Excellency, Brigade Commander, the Eighth Route Army is outside. The major general of the Imperial Army cannot become a prisoner of the Chinese. It's time to hit the road."
The chief of staff said coldly that he had received a secret order from His Excellency the Commander, and Major General Nakayama could only be loyal to the emperor.
Behind Lieutenant Colonel Iwase stood a row of military police. Their task was to escort Major General Nakayama and the civilian personnel of the City Defense Headquarters.
"Iwase-kun, is it necessary?"
Iwase didn't waste any time, and directly made a gesture to the military police. The military police held bayonets and pounced on the civilian personnel, stabbing them one by one, even without bullets. In an instant, blood flowed into a river in the headquarters, and the pungent smell of blood filled the air. .
"Your Majesty Commander, when it's your turn, do you commit seppuku, or should I help you?"
"Bagayalu! Iwase, I am the commander, what authority do you have to kill me?"
Iwase shook his head in disdain and took a step forward. He pulled out a short sword specially designed for seppuku from Major General Nakayama and threw it to Nakayama. He still left the last bit of dignity for Major General Nakayama, hoping that he would honorably serve the emperor.
Major General Zhongshan knew that he could not escape this disaster, so he could only muster up the courage to pick up the dagger. After all, he was also a major general.
He pulled out the dagger, and stabbed it into his lower abdomen. Unfortunately, as soon as the tip of the knife entered his body, he shivered in pain and dropped the knife to the ground...
"Iwase-kun——"
Iwase shook his head, picked up the short knife from the ground, and stabbed it into the abdomen of Major General Nakayama. With a pop, it reached the handle.
"ah!"
Major General Zhongshan screamed in pain, but he did not die. The blade seemed to be a little shorter.
Iwase said sorry apologetically, and just when he was about to pull out the knife, a group of Eighth Route Army troops rushed in. The desire for survival ignited in Major General Nakayama's eyes.
Iwase pulled out the dagger, and Major General Nakayama's blood spurted all over him. Major General Nakayama looked desperately at his belly spurting blood. He knew he would not survive. What made him even more disgusted was that Iwase threw away the dagger and was very angry. Shamelessly surrendered to the Eighth Route Army!
"Bagayalu, shameless!"
Major General Zhongshan took his last breath, his eyes wide open, and he could not rest in peace.
"Ba! Ba!"
Iwase was shot and fell down, and said very reluctantly:
"What you say - doesn't count - Baga Ya Road"
Then he fell headlong in front of the body of Major General Zhongshan. Major General Zhongshan's eyes finally closed and a smile appeared on his face.
"Damn it, this little devil still wants to resist!"
The squad leader who led the team cursed and then said to the others:
"Why are you standing there, cleaning the battlefield!"
The other soldiers began to finish up the Japs habitually, but the squad leader turned his face away - not seeing it.
As the Eighth Route Army captured the Japanese city defense commander, the Yuci offensive came to an end. It lasted three days and annihilated a Japanese brigade, killing more than 4,300 Japanese and capturing 1,247 prisoners. In addition, nearly 2,000 people escaped from the west gate;
More than 5,000 puppet troops were annihilated, of which more than 2,000 were considered battlefield prisoners, and the others were considered prisoners. Anyone who fired at the Japanese was considered a prisoner.
The seized weapons and equipment piled up like mountains, and the door to attack Taiyuan was opened.
The victory in the Battle of Yuci accumulated experience for the Eighth Route Army in attacking large cities. It was no longer possible for the Japanese to rely on cities to hold on.
A few days later, the New 10th Division of the Panshan Army Division captured Pingyang and wiped out one enemy brigade. Li Shi and Lucheng were also recovered by Li Tie's Army Department and Xu Heshang's Department. The defenders were completely wiped out. So far, all the areas south and east of Taiyuan were recovered. , annihilated two Japanese brigades and one regiment, killing more than 13,000 people and capturing more than 4,000 people.
"Old Chu, the results of the battle are brilliant. More than 200 cannons of various types, 52 tanks, and 42 aircraft were seized -"
"Wait, can we still seize the plane?"
Chu Xiong asked very unexpectedly.
Zhong Guoliang knew that Lao Chu would ask this question. These were dozens of Japanese planes, and he didn't believe that Chu Xiong would be calm.
Chu Xiong's reaction made him very satisfied, so he stopped trying to be pretentious and said directly:
"This is naturally the result of the Tiger Special Forces. Shitou led the Tiger 2nd Squadron to sneak attack Pingyang Airport. With the cooperation of a regiment of the New 11th Division, they completely occupied Pingyang Airport. They not only captured 42 aircraft, but also captured several prisoners. With ten Japanese pilots, Binh Duong Airport can be used directly."
Chu Xiong shouted three times. This is definitely more meaningful than annihilating a brigade. With these planes and pilots, the Eighth Route Army headquarters can set up another flying detachment in Hedong;
He remembered that the air force of later generations was established in this way, three years for the army and ten years for the air force. With a complete airport, many things could be laid out in advance, such as training one's own pilots.
To build an air force, the easiest thing to obtain is aircraft. As long as the supporting construction is carried out, it will be too easy for Chuxiong to obtain enough aircraft.
Next, Zhong Guoliang reported the seizures. Hundreds of artillery pieces of all types were seized, more than 20,000 long and short guns, and more than 20,000 puppet troops were captured.
"Old Chu, I didn't expect to capture so many Japs this time. After several years of war, it turned out that all the old Japs were dead, some were transferred away, and the rest were newly recruited. Their fighting will was obviously not as good as Have you thought about how to deal with these devils before?
Or like the expeditionary force? "
Chu Xiong shook his head and said:
"This is China, and we definitely can't do that. Due to my temper, I don't want to take any prisoners, but it's no better than before. We are now counterattacking, and they occupy most of the cities in China;
If you don't give them a chance to surrender, they will jump over the wall if they are forced. Just like in a big city like Taiyuan, with hundreds of thousands of people in their hands, they will be forced to do their best and treat the people badly. "
Zhong Guoliang nodded in agreement, and Chu Xiong continued:
"We can't keep these devils in vain, reform them, and then build an anti-war alliance. They can still be used as cannon fodder when we counterattack outside the border in the future."
"Old Chu, I know you won't be too easy on them. After a few battles, there won't be a few Japanese left."
Chu Xiong smiled and said:
"That's for sure, only dead Japs are good Japs!"
Zhong Guoliang believed that if the devils were extinct, the world would be peaceful.
"Old Zhong, you can launch an attack on the Japanese outside Taiyuan City.
Flying detachment, blow me up! fry! fry! "
