Logistics Department of the 18th Group Army
"Lao Zhang, Lao Zhang..."
Zhang Wanhe was still sleeping when he was pushed awake by his old friend Lao He.
"Old He, what makes you so happy?" Zhang Wanhe woke up and asked suspiciously.
"Iron Bastard, two Iron Bastards." Lao He's spit almost sprayed on Zhang Wanhe's face, "The New First Brigade has brought back two Iron Bastards..."
"What, Iron Kings, the new first brigade has brought back two Iron Kings?" Zhang Wanhe was still a little sleepy at first, but when he heard that the new first brigade had brought back two Iron Kings, the sleepy man immediately flew away.
Iron Bastard, that is the treasure among treasures.
On the battlefield, the Iron Bastard was invulnerable, but his soldiers suffered a lot.
Can such a good guy be brought back? How about two more? ! !
"Yes, you should hurry up and take a look." Lao He said, "The people from the new brigade brought the Iron Bastard back. Instead of sending it towards our logistics warehouse, they sent it towards Xiao Wu's arsenal. Isn’t this totally outrageous?”
When Zhang Wanhe heard this, he was very calm: "It doesn't matter, it's not important. Xiao Wu is also our logistics person. Let's go and have a look."
Zhang Wanhe got dressed and ran out to take a look.
At this time, although the wind was strong, the snowstorm had not yet come.
Zhang Wanhe was really excited when he saw that he had really brought back two iron bastards. .
"Minister Zhang, please give way. These two iron bastards must be sent to the arsenal immediately." Seeing Zhang Wanhe coming to stop the car, the people from the Second Regiment said, "There's going to be a snowstorm soon. We have to send it over quickly, otherwise it will be blown over by the snowstorm, which will cause great losses."
"You can put it in my warehouse first, put it in my warehouse first." Zhang Wanhe's eyes were very hot.
"Minister Zhang, I'm sorry, our brigade commander's order is to take him to the arsenal." The men from the second regiment shook their heads.
The brigade commander had repeatedly warned that no matter where he left this iron bastard, he could not put it in Zhang Wanhe's warehouse, as there would be no return.
"Well, that's alright." Zhang Wanhe saw that the blizzard was coming and couldn't stop it.
The two Iron Kings drove towards the arsenal. Zhang Wanhe did not follow them, but immediately reported them to the headquarters.
…
"Director Wu, Director Wu." There was a knock on Wu Ze's door.
When Wu Ze got dressed and came out, he could already hear the sound of the Iron Bastard's engine.
When we walked out of the door, the wind was already a bit strong.
"Look at the situation, there's going to be a snowstorm." Wu Ze was still happy.
When the blizzard comes, the three Japanese divisions in Guangye Kita Village will have a hard time.
If this blizzard lasts for two or three days, Bo Zuoyi's side will win without a fight.
"Director Wu, where are these two Iron Kings?" asked the people from the Second Regiment.
"Drive to the warehouse over there." Wu Ze pointed to the newly built warehouse.
The men from the Second Regiment drove the Iron Bastard in and locked the door.
"A snowstorm is coming. You can rest here. There are quite a few rooms." Wu Ze said.
"Director Wu, we want to go back..." The people from the Second Regiment didn't finish their words.
Wu Ze's eyes widened: "You brigade commanders all have to obey orders in front of me. What's wrong? My orders don't work! There's going to be a snowstorm soon. You think you can withstand the storm!"
"Director Wu, then, then, that's okay." The people from the Second Regiment had no choice but to agree.
Eighteenth Army Headquarters
"Lao Peng, Lao Peng, Lao Peng!"
The deputy commander-in-chief was woken up from his sleep by the chief of general staff.
"Lao Zuo, what good news have you brought me?" Seeing the excitement on the Chief of General Staff's face, the deputy commander naturally guessed that there was great news.
"Look." The chief of general staff opened the window, and the strong wind and snow immediately blew in.
"Oh my god, is this a snowstorm?" Upon seeing this, the deputy commander immediately became surprised.
According to Wu Zena's strategic plan, the three Japanese divisions were already in trouble at this moment.
But it would take some time for Bo Zuoyi of the Jinsui Army to deal with the three Japanese divisions.
And now that there's a blizzard, it's really a blessing.
Once the blizzard comes, it will be impossible for the Japanese planes to airdrop them.
The Japanese soldiers of the three divisions were in a blizzard. They couldn't hold it for long. Bo Zuoyi could win without a fight.
This great crisis was resolved in an instant.
"Yes, there is a snowstorm." The Chief of General Staff tried his best to close the window. "The three divisions of Gangcun Cining are destined to never go back. This year, we can live peacefully."
"That's great, great, I have to have a drink." The deputy commander took out the wine.
"Li Yunlong reported that he killed the mechanized troops reinforced by Yoshio Shinozuka, destroyed a total of ten tanks, captured two light tanks, and blew up the two bridges before the blizzard came, cutting off the three Japs. The division's way back," the chief of general staff added.
"Two light tanks were captured. Where are the tanks?" The deputy commander was very surprised when he heard this.
"I just received a report from Zhang Wanhe of the Logistics Department that both tanks were pulled to Xiao Wu's place." The chief of general staff said with a smile.
"This is a bit meaningful." The deputy commander said, "The two light tanks did not enter Zhang Wanhe's warehouse, but they were taken to Xiao Wu's side. Xiao Wu didn't want to build this thing, right?"
"It will still be very difficult to build," said the Chief of General Staff. "I guess Xiao Wu should hurry up and help with the coordinated operations of infantry and tanks. Our army still has no experience in this regard."
"Yes." The deputy commander agreed, "The coordinated operation of tanks and infantry is very important. I hope Xiao Wu can surprise us again."
"It's not fun to drink alone. Let me drink some with you." The chief of general staff took the bottle from the deputy commander's hand and raised his glass. "For this first drink, we have to pray to God for the snowstorm. Help eliminate the Japanese soldiers from three divisions."
"Yes, yes, we must respect God." The deputy commander raised his glass.
…
World War II District Governor's Department
"Sir Yan, Sir Yan, Sir Yan!"
While Lao Yan was sleeping, he was woken up by his staff.
"Did Bo Zuoyi's side win a great victory and wipe out three Japanese divisions?" Lao Yan woke up and saw the staff member being so surprised and asked quickly in anticipation.
"No, God is blowing a blizzard." said the staff officer.
Is there a blizzard?
When Lao Yan heard this, he didn't bother to put on his shoes, wrapped himself in a quilt and went to the window.
As soon as the window was opened, the cold and biting wind and snow blew in immediately.
Lao Yan shivered and quickly closed it again with force.
"That's great, that's great." Lao Yan said happily, "When this snowstorm comes, God really helps me..."
Thinking of something, Lao Yan quickly asked: "Has there been any news from Bo Zuoyi? Have they escaped from the snowstorm?"
"Commander Bo has already made preparations. The troops are fine," the staff officer replied.
"Hahahaha!" Lao Yan laughed loudly and killed three Japanese divisions. At this time, I saw that the director of the mountain city had any reason not to give me material support.
…
one day later
The storm stopped.
new brigade
"Damn, God, this is not good." Zhang Dabiao looked at the stopped blizzard and said, "At least it will blow for one more day, but it stopped in one day, which is not enough."
"Yes, it would be nice if this snowstorm blows for one more day. We can sleep for one more day." Yang Dali also agreed.
"Okay, God can help blow the blizzard for one day, which is already very good." Li Yunlong was very calm. Even if the blizzard only blows for one day, the three Japanese divisions will basically be useless.
"Hurry up and let the troops eat. After eating, we have to work immediately." Li Yunlong urged.
As soon as the blizzard stops, the Jinsui Army will definitely take action immediately. We cannot fall behind the Jinsui Army.
The troops ate quickly, and Li Yunlong took them and set off immediately.
Jinsui Army
"Commander Bo, the blizzard only lasted for one day, but the Japanese soldiers of the three divisions must have suffered heavy losses." The officers of the Jinsui Army sounded excited.
"Gather the troops and set off immediately." Bo Zuoyi said decisively, "We can't take it lightly until we can count the number of Japanese corpses."
"yes."
In this way, the Jinsui Army set off immediately.
glutin oxime
…
"Brigadier, the scouts are here to report. There is smoke ahead, and it seems that there are still Japanese soldiers who are not dead." Li Yunlong led the Xinyi Brigade for a long time, and someone came to report.
Li Yunlong took a look with a telescope and found that there was indeed smoke.
Li Yunlong was very calm: "It's normal. That's the heavy artillery unit of the Japs. When a blizzard blows, the Japs can use the heavy artillery as a bunker to avoid the blizzard. It's not surprising that some Japs survived. Tell Zhang Dabiao and Yang Dali to feed them to me as quickly as possible." Drop them."
"yes."
…
"Baga, damn the weather!"
"I don't know what's going on with the large army."
"There must be a lot of people running back."
…
Beside the campfire, the Japanese artillerymen who luckily survived the blizzard were cursing while cooking.
The number of Japanese artillerymen who survived was not large, less than a hundred.
Moreover, the combat capability of Japanese artillery is no better than that of infantry.
Zhang Dabiao and Yang Dali led their men to kill them suddenly, which was as easy as chopping melons and vegetables.
Dozens of surviving Japanese soldiers followed their large army to see Amaterasu.
Then, Yang Dali and Zhang Dabiao started working hard.
"Brigadier, do you want to bury the little Japs?" Someone asked Li Yunlong when he saw the body of the Japs freezing to death in the snow.
"Don't you see that Zhang Dabiao and Yang Dali need a lot of manpower!" Li Yunlong stared, "How can we have time to collect the corpses of the Japanese!"
"Brigadier, if we don't collect the corpses now, next spring will come and the temperature will rise. The rotting corpses will easily cause plague."
"Don't worry, the Jinsui Army will help collect the bodies." Li Yunlong said, urging: "If Yang Dali and Zhang Dabiao move faster, they must finish the work before the Jinsui Army arrives."
"yes."
The new brigade seized the time to transport artillery shells and dismantle heavy artillery, and they were very busy.
On the Jinsui Army side, Bo Zuoyi led the Jinsui Army soldiers to the battlefield of three divisions.
Leaving aside the layer of snow, all the Japanese soldiers below were frozen to death.
They have different shapes, some are frightened, some are unwilling, some are pitiful and so on.
The Jinsui Army spent a lot of time clearing the snow from the scene, and the body of Guangye Kitamura was also found.
"Commander Bo, the scene is basically full of corpses of wounded and frozen Japanese soldiers. It seems that before the blizzard came, more than 10,000 Japanese soldiers gave up their wounded soldiers and ran away." The officers of the Jinsui Army reported to Bo Zuoyi .
"The leader of the Japanese division is really decisive." Bo Zuoyi nodded, "In such a desperate situation, he can still have such a hand."
"Commander Bo, if more than 10,000 Japanese soldiers have escaped, then it doesn't count as annihilating three Japanese divisions." The officers of the Jinsui Army were a little regretful.
"Run? Can they run?" Bo Zuoyi said directly, "The troops of the 18th Group Army came out. Do you think they came out to enjoy the mountains and rivers?"
"Commander Bo, there are more than 10,000 Japanese soldiers. Their combat effectiveness cannot be underestimated when they are on the run. Even if a few divisions of the 18th Group Army come out, they probably won't be able to stop them, right?" someone said.
"To stop these more than 10,000 Japanese soldiers, we don't necessarily need troops to stop them." Bo Zuoyi shook his head.
"Then what's the point of blocking?"
"You can look at the map." Bo Zuoyi said nothing more.
The officers of the Jinsui Army quickly unfolded the map and took a look. Someone soon thought: "I know that the troops of the 18th Group Army must have blown up these two bridges."
This idea was quickly echoed by others:
"Well, yes, these two bridges are important ways for the Japanese deserters to return. Once these bridges are blown up, the Japanese deserters will be blocked by the river and they will not be able to cross."
"Even if they forcefully swim over, they will lose a lot of body temperature and collapse."
"This is a killer move of the 18th Army."
"Yes, more than 10,000 Japanese soldiers escaped. They thought they could go home, but they were blocked by the river. Thinking about it, the scene is despairing."
"Is that so? We can immediately send people to the other side of the river to check the situation. The corpses of more than 10,000 Japanese soldiers are placed there. It must be very beautiful."
"Yes, take photos of their corpses and publish them in the newspapers, and people across the country will cheer for them."
…
"Go ahead and send some people to the other side of the river." Bo Zuoyi said. "There may be Japanese heavy artillery troops who have survived. Send some people there as well."
"Yes." The officers of the Jinsui Army immediately separated some people and acted separately.
Those who stayed at the scene took the time to take photos of the scene. After taking the photos, they cleaned the battlefield and dug holes to bury the bodies.
Taiyuan First Army Headquarters
Yoshio Shinozuka, who had been unconscious for a day, was rescued by military doctors.
In fact, Yoshio Shinozuka had woken up long ago, but he just didn't have the courage to face this cruel reality.
But there is no use in escaping. What should be faced must still be faced.
"General, you're awake." Moriyama Otani stood in front of Shinozuka Yoshio's bed.
"Is the snowstorm still falling?" Yoshio Shinozuka asked feebly.
"It stopped this morning." Moriyama Otani replied.
"How many people have come back?" Shinozuka Yoshio asked even though he guessed that no one would come back.
Moriyama Otani remained silent, the answer was obvious.
"Help me up!" Shinozuka Yoshio's face turned pale, and he struggled to get off the bed.
Moriyama Otani dressed Shinozuka Yoshio, and Shinozuka Yoshio walked to the window and pushed open the window.
It's snowy outside the window, and there's thick snow everywhere.
Even if this snowstorm only lasts for one day, it is not something that human beings can withstand.
The emperor's warriors from three divisions died miserably.
"General, do you want to send a plane..." Moriyama Otani suggested sadly.
"No need." Yoshio Shinozuka waved his hand, although there are still a small number of aircraft at Taiyuan Airport, which can be used to conduct reconnaissance to see if there are any survivors.
Or, watch the scene of the army being destroyed.
Yoshio Shinozuka could predict that there would be no survivors.
Even if there are survivors, they will not be able to cross the river and will be intercepted and killed by the troops of the 18th Army.
The army has been destroyed, and the newspapers of the Eighteenth Army and the Shanxi-Sui Army will soon be published.
"General, maybe a miracle will happen?" Moriyama Otani said.
"Do you believe what you say?" Yoshio Shinozuka asked.
Moriyama Otani didn't speak, of course he didn't believe it himself.
Yoshio Shinozuka returned to the phone and picked up the phone: "Get me the commander of the village."
The phone was connected, and Okamura Jining inside was also silent, and he no longer had the energy to scold Yoshio Shinozuka.
A blizzard destroyed the imperial elites of three divisions. Even though the North China Expeditionary Army had 600,000 to 700,000 soldiers, Gangcun Cining could not withstand such strong pressure.
Since the beginning of the war, there has never been an example of a division being wiped out in frontal combat with the Chinese army.
And now, four organic divisions have been destroyed. This is simply a great shame for the army.
What is even more unbearable is that these four organized divisions were not eliminated head-on, but fell into the Chinese people's tricks.
To be precise, it was the strategic masters of the 18th Army who used strategy to kill them.
"Commander, please allow me to commit suicide by committing seppuku." Yoshio Shinozuka finally began his opening remarks.
"You died, can the warriors of the three divisions be resurrected!" Okamura Jining's tone was no longer angry. He knew that anger could not solve the problem.
"Commander, I feel uncomfortable in my heart. I feel so uncomfortable that I will die." Yoshio Shinozuka said.
"I feel uncomfortable too, but feeling uncomfortable cannot solve the problem." Okamura Cining also said.
"Commander, we have all made huge strategic mistakes." Yoshio Shinozuka paused and said in review, "We all thought that we could avenge our shame by increasing our troops, but the Chinese military strategy effectively criticized our Wrong. The Chinese military book says that the first step is to attack the enemy with troops, then to attack the enemy, then to attack the city, and then to attack the city. We have been attacking the city with troops, but we have never thought of spending all our efforts on the attack. We did not lose because of the disparity in combat effectiveness with the Chinese army, but we lost because of strategy, and we lost to the terrible strategic master of the 18th Army."
"Yes, we made a strategic mistake." Okamura Jining also agreed, "So, we should change our policy now, that is, launch an intelligence war and a spy war with all our strength, and kill the Eighteenth Group Army at all costs. The strategic masters will find it. Only after we find this person and kill him can we mobilize troops to the World War II area. Otherwise, we will send ten divisions next, which will be a waste of the lives of the emperor's soldiers."
"Commander Okamura, I will work hard to find this person." Yoshio Shinozuka swore, "If I can't find this person, I am willing to commit seppuku!"
"Don't always talk about seppuku. That's what a coward would say." Okamura Jining said, "Shinozuka, I believe you will not let me down."
"Hai!" Yoshio Shinozuka nodded heavily, his fighting spirit rekindled.
