The next day, March 11, at 7 a.m., two fierce air battles broke out over Xiyang and over Pingyao County south of Taiyuan.
Over Taiyuan, there were 50 Nakajima fighter jets and 10 97 heavy bombers from Datong Airport, fighting against 20 P40s and 20 Nakajima fighter jets from the Eighth Route Army (rewards after shooting down).
In the sky over Xiyang, there were 70 Nakajima fighter jets and 15 97 heavy bombers, fighting against 30 P40s and 20 Nakajima fighters.
The Japanese planes from the two major airports were all going to provide air support to the 20th Division. They were discovered by the Eighth Route Army from various places and reported to Wu Hongbo, who was now based in Yangquan. They were then intercepted over Xiyang and Pingyao.
The tactics of the Eighth Route Army aviation are very clear. The P40 will first appear to distract the Japanese escort fighters, and then the remaining Nakajima fighters of our own will attack the opponent's bomber formation.
In the end, the Eighth Route Army paid the price of 12 Nakajima fighter jets and 3 P40 fighter jets, and achieved the glorious result of shooting down 21 Japanese bombers and 52 Japanese fighter jets.
When the news reached Liu Yu's ears, he was not happy at all.
Because Ushijima Minoru is really killing people.
From early last night until now, the Japanese have massacred 600 innocent people at the gate of the city.
Moreover, in order to let the Eighth Route Army see them, they deliberately used flares every time they massacred.
At 8 o'clock, another 100 people were driven to the city gate.
The people were tied up in a bunch, including men and women, old and young. The oldest looked to be in his 70s, and the youngest was probably only six or seven years old.
All the people were crying.
The cadre sent by political commissar Wang to negotiate was currently hanging on the city wall, covered in blood and dying.
Ushijima Minoru had no intention of negotiating.
The one hundred common people were lined up and kneeling on the ground, and then the same hundred Japanese soldiers in shirts walked behind them holding sabers.
At this time, the bound old man was seen shouting: "Brothers of the Eighth Route Army! Attack the city!"
Seeing this, several other men on the side also shouted: "Siege the city! It's better to die under your artillery fire than to be hacked to death by the Japanese!"
"That's it, attack the city quickly. If you don't attack the city, you will die more!"
"Are you Eighth Route Army all fucking cowards?"
In the distance, behind a small dirt bag two kilometers away, Liu Yu lay on the ground and watched the scene with a telescope.
He arrived in Linfen at around three in the morning and has seen four massacres so far.
Before, he heard people begging the Eighth Route Army to retreat, and now, he heard people begging him to attack the city.
Suddenly, his eyes narrowed.
Under the city wall, the sabers of the one hundred Japanese soldiers fell hard, and the people all fell to the ground.
At this moment, Liu Yu started to tremble all over.
The exhaustion caused by not sleeping all night, coupled with the mental stimulation, made him completely addicted!
He stood up suddenly and walked down the slope.
"Pass my order to escort all the prisoners of war from the 41st Division captured last time in our military region to me!"
Then he said: "Send a message to Ushijima Shichō in the city. If he kills a Linfen citizen, I will kill a Japanese prisoner!"
. . . . . .
With Liu Yu's order, the mutual massacre incident that shocked domestic and foreign countries was born.
Until 5 o'clock in the afternoon, when more than 5,000 Japanese prisoners of war were escorted, Liu Yu immediately ordered 1,700 Japanese prisoners of war to be buried alive, because Ushijima Minoru had already killed 1,700 civilians.
Public opinion quickly fermented. After learning the news, senior officials from both sides sent stern reprimand messages to the two.
This time both sides were surprisingly unified, demanding that the two frontline commanders immediately stop the killings.
Liu Yu directly claimed that it was Ushijima Minoru who instigated the incident. If that bastard Ushijima didn't stop, he would continue to kill until all the Japanese prisoners of war were killed!
Ushijima firmly stated that Liu Yu must retreat, otherwise he would not mind Linfen turning into a dead city!
In fact, Ushijima Minoru was very happy at this time, because there were no consequences for what he did. Although he would be punished openly afterwards, he might be rewarded secretly. After all, he had preserved a standing division in good condition. .
Moreover, he has understood the discipline of the Eighth Route Army. He knows that Liu Yu will definitely be dismissed if he commits this crime. If a commander with a gentle personality and reputation is replaced, the Eighth Route Army will definitely withdraw its troops!
As a result, Ushijima Minoru continued to kill, and Liu Yu continued to bury him alive.
As Ushijima Minoru expected, the Eighth Route Army headquarters soon ordered Liu Yu to be relieved of his duties, and General Zuo was temporarily in command.
. . . . . .
At night, 8 o'clock.
Just as General Zuo was rushing all the way from Changzhi to Linfen, in the Zhang Family Courtyard in Linfen City, several dark figures climbed into the courtyard wall at night.
Geng Wanzi took special forces members Chen Wanqing and Zeng Xianji all the way to Zhang Qichang's bedroom door.
Looking at the door again, there are three red lanterns hanging on the eaves.
Geng Wanzi looked around and found no one. He thought it was Zhang Qichang who sent all the servants away.
Knocked on the door, and soon heard the door creak open.
After entering the house, Zhang Qichang's wife Wang hid behind the door and shivered, while Zhang Qichang sat on the table and stared at Geng Wanzi and the other three.
After closing the door, Geng Wanzi also looked at Zhang Qichang.
It was Zhang Qichang who spoke first: "Tell me, what do you want me to do?"
Geng Wanzi raised his eyebrows and said with a smile: "President Zhang is happy, so I won't bother you. If I want to get your son back, I'll give you Ushijima Minoru!"
Zhang Qichang seemed to be mentally prepared and nodded: "What do you want me to do?"
Geng Wanzi: "You just need to gather the servants in the mansion, replace them with our people, and then lure Ushijima Minoru over, and leave the rest to us."
Zhang Qichang nodded, lowered his eyebrows and thought for a moment, then raised his eyes and said: "I know the policies of your Eighth Route Army. I don't expect you to help you this time to be considered a meritorious service. I am willing to bear all the crimes I have committed in the past, and I am willing to do so." Give all your property! I just hope you don’t hurt my son!”
However, Geng Wanzi raised his hand and said: "You are sincere, and I won't play tricks! Let's go back to the same level. You can't escape the accounts that should be settled, and you will definitely be credited with the merits that should be recorded." ! As for your son, he should stay in Yangquan, and wait until those foreign doctors cure him and make him alive and kicking, and then return him to you!"
Zhang Qichang was stunned for a moment when he heard this, and then tears came to his eyes.
Mrs. Wang next to her covered her mouth with a handkerchief and started sobbing.
. . . . . .
At 9 o'clock, all 24 special operations members of the First Squadron of the Special Operations Brigade sneaked into Zhang's mansion, controlled all the servants and concubines, and locked them all in the cellar.
Then, Zhang Qichang went to the Japanese headquarters in person.
After entering the headquarters, Zhang Qichang went straight to Ushijima Mitsune.
"Your Excellency Ushijima, I'm here to bother you again." After meeting, Zhang Qichang clasped his fists and said with a smile.
"Oh, Zhang Sang, please sit down quickly!" Ushijima Minoru had a very good attitude towards Zhang Qichang, but he couldn't help it, because Jiu Auntie was too comfortable serving him last night.
After personally pouring a glass of water for Zhang Qichang, Ushijima asked: "Zhang Sang, come to see me. What's the matter?"
Zhang Qichang smiled and said: "It's still about the transfer yesterday. I don't know, Your Excellency..."
Ushijima wanted to agree, but when he thought of his aunt, he hesitated again: "Well..."
Zhang Qichang didn't understand what he meant, so he smiled and said: "General, I was lucky enough to buy a wild deer from a hunter today. I wonder if you can enjoy it and taste the deer meat in my mansion?"
As he said that, he leaned over again and whispered: "Actually, the eighth aunt in the next family is more beautiful than Lao Jiu, but she was married with gongs and drums, and she walked through the side door, so the neighbors could really see it. Hey, unlike Lao Jiu who quietly goes through the back door, it is really inconvenient for our Lao Ba to come here with the general. If the general is interested..."
Ushijima Minoru's eyes lit up.
He was already lustful, and now he was stuck in Linfen with Liu Yu in danger, so he wanted to relieve his mental pressure by venting his lust.
When he heard that Zhang Qichang had a more beautiful concubine, a lewd smile suddenly appeared on his face: "Zhang Sang, you still say that you are my good friend, but you have hidden good things and don't share them?"
As he said that, he stood up immediately.
Zhang Qichang's acting skills were good. He immediately grabbed Ushijima and asked with a smile: "General, what about my transfer..."
Ushijima waved his hand: "I'll do as you say!"
Zhang Qichang was overjoyed: "Thank you, General, for your cultivation!"
. . . . . .
20 minutes later, Ushijima Minoru arrived at the Zhang Mansion by car. This time he did not bring Uchida Ginnosuke with him, but he still brought a small team of guards.
After entering the mansion, Zhang Qichang said to a servant at the door: "Greet the princes well and serve them with good wine and meat!"
Looking at the servant, he is not very old, he looks like he is seventeen or eighteen years old at most.
He nodded and bowed and said, "Don't worry, sir. The little custodian will serve the princes beautifully!"
"Um!"
Zhang Qichang nodded, then looked at Ushijima: "General, please!"
Ushijima Minoru hesitated for a moment, thinking that he needed to relax, and why should his soldiers do the same?
Should we indulge them in a carnival in the city tomorrow?
Thinking of this, Ushijima said in Japanese to the team leader in charge of the guard: "Arrange two groups of sentries, and the rest can move freely. However, be sure not to drink too much!"
The squad leader suddenly looked happy when he heard this, paused and said: "Hi!"
When Ushijima and Zhang Qichang left, the janitor straightened up and looked at his young face...
Isn't it Ma Chao?
When Ma Chao turned his head and saw the leader of the Japanese team, he resumed his nodding and bowing manner: "Taijun, please come with me! After we have had our fill of wine and food, I will find some more kiln ladies for you!"
The team leader didn't understand and looked confused: "Nani?"
Ma Chao was also stunned for a moment, and then tried hard to recall the Japanese he had learned before, but he fell asleep in the foreign language class, and for a while he really couldn't remember how to say "prostitute" in Japanese.
So, he had no choice but to put on a coquettish look and stroked the Jaap squad leader's chest with his hand: "Taijun~, come on, come on~" Then he nodded and bowed: "That's what I mean, Taijun, do you understand?"
"Oh, Yo West! Yo West!" The Japanese team leader understood immediately and became excited. He patted Ma Chao on the shoulder hard: "You are a good citizen!"
Ma Chao had a smile on his face, but he was heartbroken.
Let you little devils go to the West later!
In the living room of the Zhang Mansion, Ushijima Minoru asked where his eighth aunt was as soon as he came in, but Zhang Qichang told him not to be impatient and to have a good meal first. After all, wine can add to the fun.
After drinking for three rounds, perhaps because the alcohol had intensified his desire, Ushijima Minoru's eyes turned red and he asked Zhang Qichang to quickly call out his eighth aunt.
Zhang Qichang estimated that the time was almost up, so he clapped his hands.
Immediately, several servants as strong as cattle stood out from behind the screen and surrounded Ushijima Minune.
Just when Ushijima was in a daze, there were two sounds of falling to the ground outside the door.
Ushijima still didn't understand that he had entered the Hongmen Banquet. He stood up suddenly and wanted to draw his gun, but Geng Wanzi grabbed his right hand and knocked him down. Then he locked him with a naked choke and strangled his neck so that he could not Make a sound.
Ushijima was pressed to the ground and he tried his best to look up at Zhang Qichang. The veins on his face were bulging and he looked very ferocious.
He never imagined that a traitor who had done all kinds of evil and offered his wife to the imperial army would dare to betray him.
Zhang Qichang felt chills go down his spine when he saw him, but he quickly plucked up the courage and stepped forward to slap Ushijima.
"What are you looking at? You bastard little devil! I know what you are thinking. Let me make it clear to you that our Laojiu you are sleeping with is actually the girl I bought last year, specifically to fool you devils!"
Ushijima Minetsune's eyes widened even more, and he opened his mouth to curse, but Geng Wanzi behind him increased his strength, and within a few seconds, Ushijima Minetsune fainted.
"Give him a few mouthfuls of the drug!"
. . . . . .
Look at the other side, the backyard.
There were five large tables set up here. At this time, a small group of Japanese soldiers were lying on the tables, sleeping soundly.
Ma Chao and several others were stabbing people one by one with knives. They all picked up the little devil and stabbed him in the heart, then put them on the table and let him continue to sleep.
After he finished, Ma Chao wiped the blood on the bayonet with a tablecloth and praised: "The drug prepared by Sister Wanyu is getting more and more powerful. Look at these little devils, they can sleep like dead pigs after just two glasses of wine." . No wonder the commander said that the person from Deputy Commander Wu’s family is the one our military region should not offend!”
