"Does anyone else have any opinions?" King Higashikata Minuhiko asked, with a hint of ruthlessness in his sharp eyes.
"Report to your Excellency, Commander, I have no objections!"
"Report to your Excellency, Commander, I have no objections!"
"Report to your Excellency, Commander, I have no objections!"
…
With loud responses, King Higashikata Minuhiko showed a smile of satisfaction on his face: This decision must be a wise one, because there must be no problem with the plan that so many people have agreed to!
"Yoshi! Let's decide like this!" King Higashikata Minuhiko said with a smile.
Therefore, a very detailed offensive plan was also introduced. They must defeat Xinyang in the shortest possible time and reach the outskirts of Wuhan!
If he can get ahead of the 11th Army and reach Wuhan, then the domestic praise for him, King Higashino Minuhiko, must be extremely high.
Don't forget, Okamura Neji is also an elite soldier and is a fierce man at the Imperial Army University!
"Hai!!!" The Japanese officers present responded in unison, full of fighting spirit.
Early the next morning, the main force of the Japanese army on the northern front launched a large-scale and high-intensity attack against the national army's defenders in Xinyang. Xinyang was suddenly besieged on all sides!
Of course, the national army cannot sit still and wait for death. After all, there are still the main forces of the fifth theater dormant nearby.
Naturally, such a large-scale move by the Japanese army could not be hidden from the eyes of the Chinese army. When the Japanese army began to take action, the Chinese army immediately launched a counterattack on the weak points of the Japanese army, and sent two divisions of troops to launch a fierce counterattack in and around Luoshan County. As a result, the Japanese troops had to quickly return to defense, and the pressure on the Xinyang front line was greatly reduced.
…
For the 124th Division of the 45th Army of the 22nd Group Army, the counterattack against Luoshan went quite smoothly. The 372nd Regiment under its command succeeded in a surprise attack on the Xiaoluoshan position, causing the main force of the nearby Japanese army to The Xiaoluoshan area had to be defended.
For Xiong Shunyi, the leader of the 372nd Regiment, it was already a good thing to take advantage of this battle, especially when he captured three Japanese soldiers.
"Who are you?!" A Sichuan soldier's eyes widened. He looked at the three prisoners opposite and asked seriously.
"Pull me down, you don't understand Japanese language at all!" said a northeastern soldier wearing Sichuan Army clothes. Obviously, he defected to the Sichuan Army after his original unit was dispersed.
In fact, in this turbulent era, this situation is not uncommon.
"How do you know that I don't understand? You're looking at people through the cracks in the door and looking down on them." The soldier who was interrogating and questioning said very unconvincingly.
"Haha, little Hu, don't stop pretending. In our group, only Director Hu from the Political Affairs Office understands Japanese. You little kid knows a lot of football, and you're still wearing glasses like Zhu Bajie, pretending to be a college student." As a joking voice from the Sichuan Army team spoke, everyone immediately burst into laughter.
The soldier who was called Little Hu had a look on his face, but he was extremely thick-skinned. He straightened his back and said, "You know what I mean, what if my brother says these things, these little devils Do you understand? You have to try it."
"You can brag on your own!" Another teasing voice came from the team, and the laughter became even louder.
On the other hand, the Japanese soldiers did not seem to be afraid, and they were still chattering there. Judging from their expressions, it seemed that they did not want to resist to the end.
Not long after, Officer Hu from the Political Affairs Office of the Youth League Headquarters arrived.
I saw Officer Hu speaking fluent Japanese. He said to the prisoners: "Which Japanese army are you from?"
One of the Japanese soldiers who looked bolder said: "We are from the 105th Division of the Imperial Army, which was expanded from the reserve division of the Fifth Division. If you have any questions, please feel free to contact us. We can tell you Yours will be told to you. The premise is that you can’t kill us.”
Upon hearing this, Officer Hu smiled softly. He also knew that the resistance of these Japanese soldiers was not strong, because according to other circumstances, like the Japanese soldiers who captured the Third Division and the Fifth Division, At first, they were reluctant to speak and were unwilling to answer any questions. They had to wait for a long period of preferential treatment before asking some irrelevant questions.
As soon as he thought of this, Director Hu's interest arose. He asked with a smile on his face: "Aren't your imperial troops all advocating the spirit of Bushido? How come they communicated with us so quickly? Shouldn't they be in secret? A face?"
The young Japanese soldier sighed and said: "A few of us were originally students at the Imperial University of Japan. We were studying in the school and everything was fine. What we want is to use knowledge to strengthen the country, not We like to invade other countries. We are also new recruits who have just joined the army, and we do not agree too much with the bushido spirit in the army."
"Souga, then you don't want to invade other countries, then why do you want to participate in the war of aggression against China? Isn't it funny what you said?" Director Hu asked with a smile, but a cold light flashed in his eyes, and his expression It suddenly became a little stiff.
"Sir, sir, don't believe me. If you don't believe me, I'll show you my family photo." As he said that, the Japanese soldier began to look through his pockets. Obviously, he caught the flash in Officer Hu's eyes. That cold light made him afraid of death.
"Well, okay. What's your name?" Officer Hu asked casually.
"My name is Momojiro Imamura, from Tokyo! This is my family photo. You can look at it, but you can't kill us!" As he said that, Jiro Imamura handed over a black and white photo. In the photo, there were seven or eight people with different bodies. People wearing kimonos and samurai uniforms were standing together, and one of the young men was none other than Momojiro Imamura.
Officer Hu took the photo, looked at it carefully and said, "Imamura-kun, are you saying you want to return to China?"
"No, to be more precise, I want to go home." Momojiro Imamura said very firmly, "We participated in this war of aggression entirely because the government required us college students of school age to join the army and serve the country. Our age has reached, and our family background is not aristocratic, so we can only enlist in the army. Please believe that we have no Chinese blood in our hands!"
With that said, the young Momojiro Imamura knelt on the ground and bowed to Director Hu, as if this was their unique Japanese etiquette.
"Yes, we all want to go home!" The other two Japanese prisoners also knelt on the ground and bowed.
Seeing this scene, Officer Hu also believed that they were indeed very determined to survive, so he asked: "Then after you arrived at Luoshan, why didn't you attack Xinyang for several days? Are you waiting for us to build Do you want to use a peripheral position to fight to the death?"
Momojiro Imamura shook his head and said: "No, this is because the imperial army believes that Xinyang has China's important defense facilities, mechanized troops, and powerful artillery. Once we attack hastily, we will definitely pay huge casualties!"
