Looking at the dark Zhangzhuang in the night, Colonel Taro Suzuki, the captain of the aviation battalion of the First Army of the North China Army of the Japanese Army flying a Zero fighter at low altitude, was a little confused.
From receiving the order to arriving at Zhangzhuang, it took no more than thirty-one minutes.
Could it be that the battle was over in just thirty-one minutes?
Taro Suzuki knew that Zhangzhuang was stationed with two squadrons of Japanese troops and a brigade of the Imperial Japanese Army, as well as the Nobumura Regiment of the Abe Brigade of the Kwantung Army that was attacked last night. Although there were many battle losses, the current garrison in Zhangzhuang was at least There are four squadrons plus one Royal Association Army brigade. It is impossible to be completely annihilated by the enemy in such a short period of time.
Taro Suzuki is also familiar with Nobumura Sasaki. He knows that Nobumura Sasaki has a fierce style. It is almost impossible for the enemy to attack Zhangzhuang, which is heavily defended by troops, in a short time. Even if the nearby Eighth Route Army and Jinsui Army are deployed in full force, impossible.
It seemed that tonight's attack was just a small group of enemy harassment, which had been repelled by Nobumura Sasaki.
Suzuki Taro pulled up the plane and circled over Zhangzhuang, picked up the airborne radio and called: "Nobumura-kun, I am Suzuki Taro. I am above you, and you call for help from the headquarters when a small group of enemies harass you. This is not your style. "
Hearing the call from the radio station in the house, Xie Tian stared at the sky and asked without looking back: "Hao'er, go listen to what the Japanese are saying?"
Tang Haoer hurriedly entered the room, picked up his earphones and deliberately made some noise. Taro Suzuki's voice came from the earphones: "I can't hear what you are talking about. Why did all your lights go out? What's going on?"
Tang Haoer turned off the microphone and looked at Xie Tian who was walking over and said, "He is asking us why all the lights went out."
Xie Tian frowned and asked, "Is there any way to make him think that our radio station is broken and he can only hear but not respond?"
Tang Haoer smiled: "Yes"
Tang Haoer turned on the microphone, took the microphone and started rubbing it on the table.
Xie Tian almost laughed out loud when he heard the sound of the microphone squeaking against the tabletop.
On the plane, Taro Suzuki took the headphones away from his ears in pain and said into the microphone: "Okay, okay, there seems to be a problem with your transmitter. Please find another radio station."
Tang Haoer held the microphone and rubbed it on the table even more vigorously. Taro Suzuki on the plane almost collapsed, so he simply took off both headphones and ordered his wingman into the microphone: "You launch two flares."
Tang Haoer hurriedly turned off the microphone and looked at Xie Tian and said, "The devils are going to launch flares."
Xie Tian hummed: "Let him take the photo. The soldiers had already hid on the spot when they heard the sound of the plane."
Sure enough, the plane fired a flare, which dragged the parachute and landed slowly. Several planes circled at low altitude and found nothing, but they felt that Zhangzhuang was too calm.
Taro Suzuki was also a little unsure. He put on his headphones again and said, "Nobumura-kun, if you confirm that you don't need our help, please light three bonfires in a conspicuous place."
Tang Haoer rubbed the phone and looked at Xie Tian and whispered Suzuki Taro's original words to Xie Tian. Xie Tian nodded and walked out of the room quickly.
In a short time, three bonfires were lit in the courtyard of the stronghold.
Taro Suzuki released a flare again, and while circling at low altitude, he saw several people wearing Japanese military uniforms waving at the plane beside three bonfires, and several of them were wearing military uniforms.
Taro Suzuki breathed a sigh of relief. He really couldn't muster up the courage to listen to the harsh noise coming from the headphones anymore. He flew the plane over the stronghold compound at low altitude and then suddenly pulled it up. He swung the wings left and right a few times in a showy manner, and then like a monkey in the sky. The same 360-degree rotation went into the night, leaving a string of laughter and flying away: "Xincun-kun, let's see you in Taiyuan. I'm afraid you will already be the leader of the Xincun Brigade when we meet again. You will have to invite me to come then." Looking for a flower girl.”
"The Japanese plane has left." Tang Haoer breathed a sigh of relief and looked at Xie Tian and said. She did not translate Suzuki Taro's original words to Xie Tian, so it was not important.
Xie Tian hummed: "That's just to lie to him for a while, and he will be back again tomorrow morning at the latest. Hao'er, please do me a favor and take the time to help me read these documents and translate them for me if there are any important ones."
A lot of text documents were found in the Japs' office in the big stronghold, and they are now piled on the desk waiting for Tang Haoer to translate them.
Tang Haoer nodded and walked towards the desk. Gao Meijuan also wanted to help but didn't know where to start. She couldn't understand these documents just like Xie Tian and the others.
Xie Tian looked at Gao Meijuan and said, "Thank you for your hard work. After tonight, the battle will be very cruel. You can't handle it alone. You have to bring out the soldiers from the health team as soon as possible, even if they can only deal with them briefly." A wound can also reduce your workload.”
Gao Meijuan nodded: "A dozen more soldiers were injured tonight, and two more soldiers were killed. They have been sent back to Dagu Town according to your instructions."
Xie Tian hummed with a straight face. Although tonight's battle was a trick, there would still be casualties after the battle started. He had already been mentally prepared for this, so he had already made arrangements for the treatment of the casualties.
Although he said that soldiers are not expendable items on the battlefield.
But the reality is cruel.
He just wasn't willing to emotionally buy into the idea.
But this view is unchangeable.
Soldiers, like bullets, are consumables on the battlefield.
Where there is bloodshed, there is sacrifice.
Seeing Xie Tian's obvious reluctance to talk about this topic, Gao Meijuan smiled bitterly and said, "A lot of medicines and medical supplies were seized tonight. I will teach the soldiers in the health team how to identify and use them."
Xie Tian nodded: "Thank you for your hard work. You should focus on cultivating a few top talents first, especially battlefield first aid. I will assign them to each company as health workers later."
Gao Meijuan said "Oh" and walked out of the office. Being able to be by Xie Tian's side had fulfilled most of her wishes. As for when she would be able to become his woman like Tang Haoer, she believed that one day would come.
I, a young girl, have looked at your butt several times. If you don’t want me, who will want me?
Xie Tian sat across from Tang Hao'er's desk and did not disturb Tang Hao'er. He lowered his head and went about his own business.
Tiedan peeked outside the door and asked cautiously, "Godfather, if nothing happens, I'll take a stroll."
Xie Tian hummed, Tang Haoer wanted to see such a large number of documents, and there was no need for this boy's personal protection for the time being.
After conquering such a big village, he knew that this boy would definitely go to look for the loot again. He was really too lazy to fight with this boy, so he simply let him out.
After hearing Xie Tian's approval, Tiedan closed the door and ran away.
Those fools only know how to touch things on dead ghosts. Don’t you know that good things are hidden in the place where you live?
Especially the barracks where the Japanese officers lived, no one even searched them. Tiedan had been keeping an eye on them for a long time, fearing that someone would get there first.
Tang Haoer looked up from the document and glanced at Xie Tian, then hesitantly lowered his head and looked through it again.
Xie Tian said without raising his head: "If you have anything to say, just say it. Did you find anything?"
Tang Haoer didn't expect that Xie Tian kept paying attention to her even though he lowered his head and wrote and drew. She looked at Xie Tian and said, "I haven't found anything yet. Most of these are daily military documents and are not of much value."
Tang Haoer hesitated and said, "I know I shouldn't tell you this now, but I still can't help but want to ask."
Xie Tian looked up at Tang Hao'er and smiled: "If it's Gao Meijuan's matter, there's no need to ask. I, Xie Baoqing, have you in this life, which is the greatest gift God has given me. I will not accept any other woman except you. As for Gao Meijuan, first of all Just treat it coldly. After a while, she will naturally understand my feelings. Maybe during this time, she will also meet a man who is more excited about her, and things will have a perfect ending. "
Hearing Xie Tian's answer, Tang Haoer felt as if he had eaten honey secretly, but he said, "Actually, Sister Meijuan is very good. She is beautiful and well-educated."
Xie Tian smiled: "How can you send your man out? Please read those documents carefully. We don't have much time left."
Tang Haoer smiled and said no more, but after she calmed down, she immediately made a discovery. She picked up a manuscript of the telegram and handed it to Xie Tian in surprise: "Look, look, it says that the military train heading to Taiyuan last night encountered unknown circumstances. Bandits attacked, and the commander of the Kwantung Army Abe Brigade, Major General Abe Saburo, unfortunately died for his country. Oh my god, Xie Baoqing, you killed a Japanese major general last night."
Xie Tian raised his eyebrows and took the telegram, looked at it for a few times and scratched his head: "I don't understand this either, but it is indeed a bit unexpected to kill a Japanese major general."
Tang Haoer said ecstatically: "This may be the highest-level Japanese general killed on the Chinese battlefield. If the people across the country knew about it, they would be very excited."
Xie Tian smiled: "Just a major general. During the Eighth Route Army Hundred Regiment Battle, I killed a Japanese lieutenant general. By the way, the Japanese lieutenant general's name was Abe Norihide, and the Japanese major general's name was Abe Saburo. These two can't be a family, right? That would be interesting if so.”
Tang Haoer was not so excited after being chosen first. She smiled and said: "That's not bad. After all, he is also a Japanese general. Shinozuka Yoshio is only a lieutenant general."
Xie Tian looked at Tang Haoer strangely: "Do you know Yoshio Shinozuka?"
Tang Haoer was stunned for a moment, realizing that she had made a mistake. She hesitated for a while and looked at Xie Tian and said: "Actually, I should have said something to you a long time ago. It's just that you have been so busy since you came back this time. When you lay down in bed at night... …”
Tang Haoer glared at Xie Tian shyly: "I am not in the mood to mention these disappointing things anymore. In fact, my family members are not dead, but in my heart they are already dead."
Xie Tian exhaled and put the tea jar in front of him in front of Tang Haoer.
Although the war was tense, he was still interested in hearing about Tang Haoer's life experience. After all, it was also his own family matter.
Family affairs, state affairs, and world affairs all require concern.
