After quickly getting rid of the two Japanese military police, Shi Quan wiped the dagger on the military police's clothes twice. Wu Zixun said impatiently: "Hurry up, if the Japanese find out, you will be in trouble." Zhang black face showed his white teeth and smiled and said: "Why, you are afraid, this is not good." Wu Zixun spat on the ground, "Afraid of these beasts? Hey, Grandpa Wu wants to let them know what fear is. Look, you touched the black ash on your face, making it look like a ghost. Do you want to scare the Japanese to death?" In the nearby thatched hut, Mao Zeyi stretched out his head and cursed: "You two bastards, why don't you clean it up quickly and come in to hide? Get up and seek death." The boss spoke. The two stuck out their tongues at each other and dragged the body into the thatched house. As soon as they wiped away the blood, a group of patrols came over, but they did not notice the three Chinese special forces close at hand. , and they are considered lucky. Once they really discover the Chinese special forces, it is likely that they will be killed, not the Chinese.
Now is not the time for them to rush out and use what they have learned throughout their lives to kill the Japanese troops. The task of the special forces is to launch the final murderous intention when our army encircles Shangqiu. Previously, they only used various opportunities to assassinate and consume the Japanese troops, but Kimura He is not an incompetent person and cannot be manipulated by me.
"It doesn't matter if you want to play tricks on me. Although I am a samurai, I will not sit back and watch my soldiers being slaughtered by the Chinese." Kimura smiled sinisterly and ordered the chief of staff: "Send my order and conduct a thorough search. Every house and every suspicious location in the city will be blown up with explosives for those that have been searched and confirmed to be safe. At the same time, notices will be posted in the city to tell the Chinese hiding in the dark that if they continue to kill imperial soldiers , those Chinese common people in the north of the city are the burial objects of the imperial soldiers. Every time one imperial soldier is killed, ten Chinese common people are executed. I want to see who can be crueler than who?" The chief of staff said with a sad face and did not move: " Your Excellency, the division commander, the second strategy you mentioned is very good, but the first one, where do we have so many explosives to blow up every house?" Kimura was stunned and scratched his hair, although this would not help. Active brain cells. "If that's the case, then blow up the houses at the end of each street to prevent the Chinese from using these houses." "Yes, your Excellency, the division commander." The chief of staff immediately walked out of Kimura's room to convey the order to the officers below.
After being led out of a day's journey by one of Chen Mingtian's platoons, Dongxiang Shinpachiro suddenly realized that this was not the strategy used in the ancient Chinese art of war to lure the tiger away from the mountain and go up to the house to take out the ladder. At this moment, he was far away from Shangqiu, and it was definitely too late to return now. He hurriedly contacted Kimura through the radio, reminding him that the Chinese counterattack was imminent and that Shangqiu must be evacuated immediately.
Kimura listened to Donggo's intermittent explanation on the radio, but did not listen, because after all, he was not leading a weak brigade, such as the Osaka Division, which could not withstand a battle, and the Ninth Division also fought with real swords and guns. Fame, it conquered Qingdao during World War I, then defeated the so-called invincible Northern Expeditionary Army during the Chinese Army's Northern Expedition, defeated the Qingdao garrison during Shen Honglie's period, and occupied Qingdao for the second time. After the Great East Asia War began, the Ninth Division was devastated on the road. Annihilated as many as 6 divisions of the Chinese army, and was surrounded by the Chinese army for 72 hours in the Battle of Peking. He can firmly hold Shangqiu, and at this time he has the Ninth Artillery Brigade and the Independent Tank Regiment to assist him. No matter how powerful the Chinese army attacks, the Ninth Division will stand as strong as Mount Fuji.
Sure enough, in addition to executing as many as 600 Chinese hostages, the secret resistance organizations operating in and around Shangqiu City suddenly disappeared. After the special forces operating everywhere discovered that the enemy was brutally massacring the Chinese people in retaliation, they had to temporarily stop Carrying out sabotage operations and waiting for new orders.
After the independent tank regiment drove out of Shangqiu, it immediately moved towards Yungu Town in two columns as a brigade. Since the Japanese infantry accompanying the battle could not keep up with the speed of the tanks, they all simply climbed on top of the tanks or held on to them. He grabbed the armrest of the tank, or grabbed the tank barrel, and just threw himself into the battle in embarrassment.
In addition to sending out telegrams, the Mitsui Regiment surrounded by Yungu Town also tried to rely on its own strength to break out and counterattack the Chinese army. However, in the face of the solid defense of the Chinese army, it temporarily gave up the idea of breaking out and concentrated on strengthening its own defense. Waiting for reinforcements to arrive.
Mitsui did not wait for long, that is, at 4 or 5 o'clock in the morning, which happened to be the darkest moment of the night, when the so-called dawn was about to come and the darkness was about to pass, in the distance, the sound of dense tank tracks came from the direction of Shangqiu. The Japanese soldiers suddenly became excited because they knew that the Chinese army did not have so many tanks, and the only reinforcements coming were tanks from independent tank regiments.
Upon learning of the arrival of the independent tank regiment of reinforcements, not only the morale of the ordinary soldiers was greatly boosted, but even Mitsui became even more inspired. He wielded his samurai sword and hacked and slashed in the temporary headquarters, unable to control himself. His excitement was supported by the independent tank regiment. Not to mention breaking out of the encirclement, it was very possible to annihilate the large Chinese troops surrounding him. In this way, the first contribution to the Shangqiu battle was not his own. After all, when the battle is over and rewards will be given based on merit in the base camp, he will definitely be the first candidate to be promoted to an official position. Thinking of his glorious and bright future, Mitsui actually gets a little drunk.
In the darkness, dozens of tanks rumbled past the Chinese army's positions and headed towards Yungu Town. The Japanese soldiers who were defending the town cheered and ran out of the house, preparing to meet their own tanks, directing the tanks to shoot hard to eat them. The Chinese soldiers who suffered a lot did not wait for them to run in front of the tanks. Dozens of dark and huge iron tanks suddenly fired countless machine gun bullets. The dense line of fire instantly swallowed up the Japanese soldiers who ran out. At this time, the Japanese It suddenly dawned on them that these were all Chinese tanks. They hurriedly mobilized their troops and struggled to fill the manpower vacancies they had just rushed out. They withstood the attack of the Chinese tanks. Fortunately, the attack of the Chinese tanks was not very determined. After a while, they were defeated. After retreating and disappearing, Mitsui had time to wipe the sweat from his forehead and count the casualties. Good guy, more than 200 Japanese soldiers who rushed out to meet the tanks were killed. Mitsui suffered a big loss now.
Just when Mitsui was in trouble, four tank brigades led by Nakamura advanced in two directions, firing guns and artillery along the way. The momentum was astonishing, and they were unstoppable and headed straight for Yungu Town.
When the independent tank regiment arrived at the outskirts of Yungu Town, they found that the enemy and ourselves were staggered around the town, with loud shouts of killing and artillery fire. It was when the two armies were fighting in full swing, and the Japanese infantry accompanying the tanks were already dizzy from the jolts. My brain was swollen. When I saw the battle, I jumped out of the tank and prepared to charge. I was held down by Nakamura. I didn't know who you were going to hit. The Japanese infantry stopped after being scolded. Being blown away by the cold mountain breeze at night, his mind came to his senses. The Japanese infantry captain came to Nakamura's tank and discussed the next battle plan with Nakamura. Nakamura first tried to use the radio to get in touch with Mitsui. Who wanted to contact him at all? Without Mitsui's frequency, all that came out of the radio was the rustling sound of electricity.
Nakamura jumped out of the tank, stood on the tank turret, and looked far away. However, due to the darkness of the night, he could not tell whether the Chinese army was over there or the Mitsui Regiment over there.
"Baga, if we don't have accurate information, I think we won't be able to rescue Mitsui-kun before dawn. Lin Mu-kun, what do you think?"
"Your Excellency, Captain, at this moment, I personally believe that we should send out a reconnaissance team to quickly find out the location of Mitsui Regiment, determine the position of the Chinese army, and launch a surprise attack under the cover of night. Otherwise, we will wait until dawn and discover so many tanks of Your Excellency, Captain , perhaps the large Chinese troops may withdraw, and our army will lose the opportunity to completely annihilate the enemy."
"Logical and good advice. If Lieutenant General Kimura pays attention to Lin Mujun's talents, he may achieve greater results."
"Thank you, Captain, for your appreciation. I am very grateful."
"Stop being polite. Time is running out. We cannot waste such precious time. Please Lin Mujun quickly send out a reconnaissance team to find out the location of the Mitsui Regiment. After determining the location of the Chinese army, you and I will launch a joint attack to rescue Mitsui Jun." , I guess Mitsui-kun wouldn’t be so frightened that he peed his pants when he was surrounded by the Chinese army, hahahaha.”
"Hahaha, the co-captain is really good at joking."
Lin Mu quickly dispatched a small team of scouts to go deep into the line of fire between the two armies to find out which side was the Japanese army and which side was the Chinese army.
The general direction is easy to find. There are troops exchanging fire everywhere in the darkness. Various bullets drag their own unique light traces from one end to the other. The dazzling muzzle flash indicates the position to both the enemy and our own people. Scouts should be careful not to put themselves in the middle of the line of fire and become a target for both sides. If they approach one side at will and find out the identity of the other side, they will naturally know the identity of the other side. It's that simple.
The reconnaissance team quickly approached a heavy machine gun fire point. The reconnaissance team leader was a veteran. By observing the muzzle flash, he knew that the machine gun equipped at this fire point was the Japanese army's standard heavy machine gun. It seemed that this fire point was probably one of our own. They quietly approached the firepower point and got in, startling the machine gunners inside the firepower point. They were relieved when they saw that the people who had entered were wearing Japanese military uniforms. The machine gunners stopped shooting and scolded the intruders. I was shocked, and my words had a slight accent from the Edo area. It happened that the reconnaissance captain’s wife was from Edo. The two chatted for a while and found that the machine gunner and the reconnaissance captain’s wife were from the same hometown. Due to the urgent military situation, the reconnaissance captain asked the machine gunner, The distribution position of the Chinese army and the Mitsui Regiment. The machine gunner told the reconnaissance team leader that the Mitsui Regiment commander had successfully surrounded the Chinese army in Yungu Town. At this time, the Chinese army in the town was about to rush out. Reinforcements have arrived. Please reinforce the Mitsui Regiment immediately and eliminate the Chinese troops surrounded in the town. As he spoke, the machine gunner fired into the town. The town could only use rifles to fight back. It seemed that the firepower was very weak.
The reconnaissance captain wanted to see the machine gunner's superior. The machine gunner ordered the ammunition soldier to call the major. Soon, a major officer named Youji got into the firepower point. After seeing the reconnaissance captain, he was very happy and told the reconnaissance captain Mitsui Wing. They had successfully broken through and pushed back the Chinese army that surrounded them to Yungu Town and surrounded them. However, due to the stubborn resistance of the Chinese army, the Mitsui Regiment suffered heavy casualties and could not eliminate the Chinese army for a while. It was hoped that reinforcements would attack Yungu Town immediately. Assisting the Mitsui Regiment to eliminate the Chinese army, the reconnaissance captain heard that the other party spoke fluent Kyoto dialect and wore the Rising Sun Medal around his neck. He completely believed the intelligence of Major Yu Kee and led the scouts back to the Independent Tank Regiment. The information was reported to Colonel Nakamura.
Captain Lin Mu remembered that the Mitsui Regiment did have a squadron leader named You Ji. He heard that You Ji had also won the Order of the Rising Sun. He was very envious. Nakamura laughed and patted Lin Mu on the shoulder: "Lin Mu, what is there to envy? Yes, after this battle, you will also have a medal of the Rising Sun around your neck, I can guarantee that."
Through the information provided by Major Yuki, Nakamura decided to adopt a simpler tactic, attacking from both sides. After a short artillery preparation, the tanks first charged in front, followed by Lin Mu's infantry, who were responsible for supporting and occupying tasks. Before leaving, Nakamura also contacted Mitsui via telegraph, and Mitsui called back, saying that as long as Nakamura's tanks launched an attack, his troops would definitely cooperate. Nakamura immediately ordered his tanks to launch, preparing to launch a sweeping charge of the Chinese army against Yungu Town.
In the darkness, the exhaust pipes at the rear of the Japanese tanks spit out black smoke and started to fire one after another. The bloodthirsty steel monsters opened their mouths, ready to swallow the tempting sacrifices. Nakamura jumped into his command tank and opened the tank. The internal radio station roared: "Go forward, warriors of the empire, victory or defeat depends on this. The empire looks forward to your hard work."
Tank after tank rushed towards Yungu Town and towards that mysterious town. The Japanese army used a two-way pincer attack tactic. Each road in Zhongcun was equipped with two tank brigades. As a result, the troops in front of them gave way to the road. , the tank group rushed towards Yungu Town without any resistance.
When the troops in Yungu Town saw the tanks coming again, they showed no mercy. They leveled the anti-aircraft guns that had just been transported and fired a round of fire, destroying two tanks immediately. The tanks behind them fired continuously. The anti-aircraft guns were blown up and down, and the gunner almost All died. Since there were more tanks this time and they were attacking from both sides, although the resistance they encountered was relatively fierce, Nakamura still entered the town very smoothly and had a fierce battle with the troops in the town. As the sky darkened It was getting brighter and brighter. Nakamura was horrified to find that he was exchanging fire with a Japanese army. It was obvious that this was the Mitsui Regiment. They were still surrounded in Yungu Town. The army behind him was obviously the Chinese army. He I fell into the Chinese's trick and fought in the middle of the night. It turned out that my own people were fighting my own people. But what happened to the telegram from Mitsui? Mitsui's code book was seized by my special forces at the beginning of the war. The telegram later sent by Mitsui was actually sent by me from my own headquarters.
The machine gunner was disguised as the Korean Park Jong-il, and the captain of the Friendly Squadron was Captain Zhuang Hailong. Needless to say, Park Zheng-il’s Japanese was good. Zhuang Hailong also served as a military attache in the consulate in Kyoto, and he learned an authentic Kyoto accent. As for the other fake Japanese soldiers, they were all scouts wearing Japanese military uniforms, and they could speak some Japanese. If Guo Rugang and the others had not brought those bulky Japanese heavy machine guns with them when they withdrew from Shangqiu, the scene would not have been like this. It's easy for the Japanese to believe it. Speaking of which, doesn't Friendship mean guerrilla!
The Linmu Brigade that fell behind was attacked from both sides and suffered heavy losses. With the support of tanks, it reluctantly retreated into the town, but more than half of the troops were lost. Whether it was the Mitsui Regiment, the Independent Tank Regiment, or the Linmu Brigade, they used them In my own words, it was badly repaired by the Chinese.
