"Your Excellency, Captain, the Eighth Route Army has already attacked. Turn in!"
Lieutenant Colonel Sakai rushed to the headquarters in panic. The Nakamura Regiment thought it was impregnable and would leave the Eighth Route Army corpses strewn across the fields. All three solid lines of defense were easily broken through by the Eighth Route Army;
The corpses lying everywhere were not the Eighth Route Army, but the Japanese. Many of them were even tortoise shells, which were blown away by the Eighth Route Army's artillery fire. Their limbs and broken arms were scattered all over the battlefield, and they didn't even have to be buried.
The strength of the Eighth Route Army was beyond his knowledge. The Zhongye Regiment was no match for a single regiment of the Eighth Route Army. If they did not retreat, the entire army would be annihilated.
Nakano slapped Sakai Nakasa twice and cursed fiercely:
"Baga Yalu, your work is not that of a samurai! I am ashamed of my trust in the Emperor. The 24th Regiment only has warriors who died in battle, not cowards who escaped!"
If you dare to disturb the morale of the army again, you will die. "
Nakano pushed away Lieutenant Commander Sakai and rushed out with his command knife. The Japanese in the headquarters followed suit.
As soon as Colonel Nakano rushed out of the headquarters, he saw a faint group of Eighth Route Army soldiers coming in the distance. He immediately ordered the flag guard squadron to destroy the regiment flag, then pulled out his command knife and shouted at the top of his lungs:
"Warriors, kill the chicken and give it to me!"
Colonel Nakano, with more than 300 remaining Japs in the command, launched a suicidal counterattack against the Eighth Route Army. This was the Japs' last madness.
"Onboard!"
"Long Live His Majesty the Emperor!"
"Kill the chicken for me..."
The Japanese's slogans before they died were chaotic and varied.
The Japanese's madness made the commander of a certain company who led the charge shout excitedly:
"His grandma got rich and caught a bunch of big bastards. Kill them!"
While shouting, the company commander used the Thompson submachine gun in his hand to shoot a long burst at the Japs, mowing down five or six Japs in an instant.
Other soldiers followed suit, using "Big Eight", Thompson, Citizen rifles and other weapons imitated by Taiyuan Military Factory to shoot wildly at the Japanese and mow down the Japanese in groups.
The First Column, Second Column and other independent army units have long been equipped with eagle weapons. The Chinese people's ability to imitate A products is obvious to all. The quality of many imitations even exceeds the original version.
The behavior of the Eighth Route Army made Colonel Nakamura very disappointed. He did not dare to fight with them with bayonets. What was the use of guns? Still using a repeating gun!
"Bagaya Road! The imperial army will not surrender!"
Seeing that he was surrounded by the Eighth Route Army, Colonel Nakamura showed off his bullshit samurai dignity, completely ignoring Lieutenant Colonel Sakai's legs that were still trembling.
The Eighth Route Army company commander said disdainfully:
"I have no intention of taking prisoners at all, go to hell!"
After speaking, he picked up the submachine gun in his hand, emptied the magazine, and beat the lieutenant general into a sieve.
Others followed suit and emptied their magazines in the shortest possible time until there was no Japs left standing.
"Why are you standing there in a daze? Last hit!"
Sakai Zhongzuo, who was lying on the ground pretending to be dead, was so frightened that he fainted. These Eighth Route Army soldiers were so cruel that they did not treat the prisoners preferentially at all, and they did not even spare the "corpse".
Lieutenant Colonel Sakai was eventually stabbed to death by an Eighth Route Army soldier who made a last-ditch attack, and he reluctantly went to report to Amaterasu.
The 24th Japs Regiment Headquarters was wiped out. After the other Japs lost their command, they fought independently and were divided into several pieces by one group and annihilated one by one;
At this point, the 24th Regiment, which was arrogant before the war, was completely wiped out by one regiment. The news reached the 12th Division Headquarters, and Lieutenant General Numata Takazo became silent.
He thought that the 24th Alliance would lose, but he did not expect that it would lose so quickly and so completely!
"Bagaya Road, Nakamura is a loser. A regiment couldn't even defend it for a day. You are unworthy of the trust of His Majesty the Emperor!"
He habitually passed the blame to Colonel Nakamura, and then said to Chief of Staff Colonel Ishihara Norizo:
"Ishihara-kun, the Eighth Route Army is far more powerful than we thought. Although Nakamura is a waste, the Nakamura Regiment is definitely the first-class regiment of the Imperial Army. They have not been able to hold the position for even a day, which shows the fierceness of the Eighth Route Army's offensive;
Our 12th Division had to face more than 100,000 elite Eighth Route Army troops and was somewhat powerless;
Immediately send a message to the Commander to urge reinforcements to arrive quickly, otherwise Qiqihar City is in danger of being lost. "
The message requesting tactical guidance from the Kwantung Army Headquarters and the Twelfth Division made Umezu Yoshijiro's face turn ugly, and he said to the chief of staff, Lieutenant General Kasahara:
"Kisahara-kun, your judgment is correct. The target of the Eighth Route Army's attack is Qiqihar City, and the purpose is to cut off our retreat from the new capital city;
It only took the Eighth Route Army a few hours to break through the 24th Regiment's position and completely wipe out the 24th Regiment!
This is a main force regiment, not a brigade or a squadron. Numata-kun said that the Eighth Route Army only dispatched one division of attack troops. An army of less than 10,000 people can completely annihilate a main force regiment of the Imperial Army in one day. Its combat effectiveness is This is the first time that the Kwantung Army has seen its strength. "
"Military strength can be faked, but combat effectiveness cannot be faked. Now it is certain that the more than 100,000 Eighth Route Army that appeared in Qiqihar City are Chu Xiong's mechanized corps!
Immediately send electricity to Lieutenant General Hara Morijiro and urge all units of the 27th Army to speed up the march. They must all reach Qiqihar City within three days and fully take over the defense. The Eighth Route Army Mechanized Corps must be kept out of the city. "
Lieutenant General Kasahara accepted the order with a chuckle, and then continued:
"Your Excellency, Commander, the Far Eastern Front has sent a message urging our department to quickly deliver next month's supplies to Khabarovsk;
The Black Bear Far East Corps was stimulated by the Eighth Route Army's counterattack on Manchuria. It mobilized hundreds of thousands of troops and launched hundreds of tanks to launch a fierce counterattack against the Far East Front. The frontline material consumption increased sharply, and we needed to send a batch of materials in advance for emergency response. "
Umezu Meijiro nodded and said:
"Yoshi, the war in the Far East is related to the rise and fall of the empire. We must not lack their supplies. You must quickly mobilize enough supplies and escort them to Khabarovsk within three days;
If the supplies are not enough, let the Manchu royal family collect them. In addition, they are ordered to send two divisions to escort the supplies. There must be no mistakes!
If the Imperial Army's strength is tight, just send a regiment to supervise it. "
Kasahara Yukio took the order and left. At this time, he really couldn't spare too many troops to escort the supplies, and he needed to go all out to deal with the attack of the Eighth Route Army's mechanized corps.
Outside Qiqihar City, the Eighth Route Army cleaned up the battlefield, took a short rest, and continued to launch a fierce attack on the Japanese positions.
Within a day, planes bombed several times, blowing up the Japanese bunkers to pieces;
During this process, none of the remaining Japanese aircraft dared to come out to challenge. The Eighth Route Army firmly controlled the air superiority over North Manchuria. The Kwantung Army's remaining fighter planes all shrank to the vicinity of Xinjing, using limited air power to protect Xinjing. Safety.
Umezu Yoshijiro knew that as Black Bear launched a counterattack in the Far East, all the Far East Front troops had been pinned down and it was impossible to give him any more support. The remaining battles could only be dealt with independently by the Kwantung Army.
Although there are still hundreds of thousands of troops in Xinjing City and Ji Province, he does not dare to move at all. There are still hundreds of thousands of main Eighth Route Army troops in Shengjing City, waiting for the opportunity to pounce.
The Kwantung Army is a bit stretched in terms of military strength. He is considering whether to arm another 100,000 troops among the millions of local pioneering regiments to deal with the current tense war.
