At the same time that Principal Jiang received the message from Vice President Gu, Yue Weihan's team also made a large circle and returned to Baoshan.
Yue Weihan didn't know that he had killed Lieutenant General Teng Tianjin, the commander of the Japanese 3rd Division, but with the large amount of oil and military supplies stored in the base, the little devil would never give up this time.
, just waiting for daybreak, Baoshan City may be immediately subjected to a devastating bombing by the Japanese naval artillery group and aviation!
Yue Weihan had reason to believe that this bombing must be very different from the previous one.
In the past, the Japanese army would never waste too many heavy artillery shells and heavy aircraft bombs for Baoshan County, which was not even a tactical target. But now it is hard to say. If the armored vehicle had not had time to get out, it would have turned into a
The coke is really a big guy, and the crazy revenge of the little devil is even more certain!
Therefore, Yue Weihan immediately ordered a retreat after returning to Baoshan!
Of course, Yue Weihan is not a pig-headed person and will never lead his troops to withdraw to the south bank of Rozao Bin. In fact, at this time, the outside of Baoshan is surrounded by Japanese troops. Small groups of less than ten troops can still penetrate at night. If there are more people, it is simply
Seeking death! Yue Weihan led his troops to withdraw into the tunnel, blew up the tunnel entrance and cellar, and then began the long wait.
Yue Weihan firmly believed that he and the forty-odd soldiers around him would definitely be able to return alive in the end, because this was a premeditated retreat, not a temporary move, nor a helpless move! Unless the little devils mobilized tunnel fighters from the country
Expert, otherwise it would be impossible to find the tunnel where Yue Weihan and the others were hiding.
…………
On the south bank of Ezao Bin, the 98th Division headquarters.
The sky was completely bright, but there was no movement from the Japanese positions on the other side.
In the past, the Japanese army would have started shelling long ago. After the shelling, the Japanese infantry would launch a fierce attack. However, today the Japanese army was very abnormal and seemed to have no intention of launching an attack at all.
Just when Xia Zhongyu was confused, Chief of Staff Huang Meiwu walked in excitedly with a thick stack of telegrams in his hand.
"Master, good news." Huang Meiwu said with excitement, "The Secret Bureau has deciphered the little devil's code. The good show last night was really done by Yao Changqing. He sent people to attack the little devil.
Advancing to the base, not only destroyed a large amount of military supplies, but also killed Lieutenant General Susumu Tengtian, the commander of the Japanese 3rd Division!"
"Oh? Such a thing could happen!?" Xia Zhongyu said in disbelief, "The Japanese division commander was shot dead!?"
"Can this be false? The committee members have already sent out telegrams to commend the whole country!" Huang Meiwu raised the telegram in his hand and said, "And take a look at these telegrams. They are celebrities from all walks of life, from the headquarters of various clusters and corps,
We received congratulatory messages from the headquarters of all group armies and divisions of all armies, and the Military Supplies Department also received many condolences donated by all walks of life!"
"Boom boom boom..."
As soon as Huang Meiwu finished speaking, a faint explosion sounded from the northeast.
Xia Zhongyu and Huang Meiwu suddenly looked stern. They looked at each other and turned to the northeast at the same time. The explosion obviously came from the northeast. The two of them had been working together for many years, and they suddenly thought of the whole story. This must be
It was the Japanese army that launched a retaliatory bombing of Baoshan County after suffering heavy losses.
Huang Meiwu said solemnly: "We are hundreds of miles away from Baoshan County, but we can still hear such violent explosions. It seems that the Japanese combined fleet also participated in the bombardment. If it weren't for the main guns with a caliber of more than 300 mm,
A grenade would never produce such a huge explosion."
"Hey." Xia Zhongyu punched the wall hard, his eyes almost bursting with fire, "It's really unpleasant to watch your troops being wiped out by little Japs."
…………
Songhu Theater Commander's Department.
Deputy Commander Gu is being interviewed by several mainstream Western media, several major newspapers in Shanghai, and reporters from the Central News Agency in the press room. Although Deputy Commander Gu is only the deputy commander-in-chief of the Songhu Theater, everyone knows that the leader of the national government, Chiang Kai-shek, is
It's just in name, he, the deputy commander-in-chief, is the real supreme commander of the theater.
First he delivered an impassioned speech and then answered a few questions. Deputy Chief Gu was always in a good mood and always had a smile on his face, until the adjutant came in solemnly and whispered a few words to him.
, Deputy Chief Gu changed his expression slightly, then apologized to the reporters present and left in a hurry.
Hurrying to the side hall, Deputy Chief Gu's face had completely darkened.
The adjutant said cautiously: "Headquarters, the Eighth Bureau of Secrecy has intercepted a lot of messages between the Japanese army. It has been confirmed that they are messages between the headquarters of the Japanese army's Shanghai Condemnation Army and the brigades of the 3rd Division. It is reported that the Japanese army will mobilize three troops."
More than ten warships, more than twenty bombers and hundreds of heavy artillery will carry out devastating bombing of Baoshan! Brimstone bombs will also be fired!"
After speaking, the adjutant looked at his watch again and said with a serious expression: "Judging from the time, the bombing should have started now."
Deputy Chief Gu immediately closed his eyes in pain. The Japanese army mobilized such a large-scale navy, land and air force to carry out indiscriminate bombing at any cost. The small Baoshan County town was probably going to be completely reduced to scorched earth. Under such intense artillery fire,
Let alone a human being, even a mouse would be wiped out in ashes!
What a pity, what a pity!
If Yao Changqing and his battalion could withdraw, it would be a great incentive for the entire country and the entire nation to fight to the death! It seems that the little devils also saw this, so they bombed Baoshan indiscriminately at all costs.
This old devil, Matsui Iwane, is really difficult to deal with!
Seeing that Deputy Chief Gu was speechless for a long time, the adjutant reminded him in a low voice: "Chief Commander, do you still want the 98th Division to attack?"
Deputy Commander Gu sighed and shook his head repeatedly: "No, no, Japan has already started shelling. If we send troops up at this time, wouldn't they become cannon fodder?"
The adjutant said again: "The main seat, where is the committee seat..."
Deputy Chief Gu sighed again and said, "Report it truthfully. It's not that we don't want to save it, but there is really nothing we can do to save it."
…………
Baoshan County.
After a full four hours, the Japanese army's indiscriminate bombing finally ended. At this time, there was not even a complete tile left in Baoshan. The ancient and sturdy city walls had completely collapsed, and thousands of houses were almost destroyed by artillery fire.
It was razed to the ground and completely reduced to a field of rubble in the fire caused by brimstone bombs.
Ruins, Baoshan at this time was completely in ruins!
After the smoke cleared, at least four squadrons of Japanese infantry poured into Baoshan County from all directions at the same time. However, what awaited them was a scorched earth. In this scorched earth that was still burning, they could not even find a living mouse.
No Chinese soldiers were found, let alone alive.
The commander of the 68th Regiment, Colonel Takamori Takashi, accompanied by the deputy commander Nishio Jiro, climbed onto the ruins of the city wall.
Standing at the top of the city and looking down, I saw that Baoshan City was in a mess. There was no building with a height of more than four meters. The fire that was still not extinguished had burned the entire city to scorched earth, with collapsed houses and broken walls.
, the charred broken limbs of the Chinese soldiers were vaguely visible. Seeing this scene, Colonel Takashi Takamori's face finally regained a trace of color.
Takamori Takashi originally thought that his military career was over. Lord Tsumita's broken jade was a huge blow to the prestige of the Imperial Army of Japan. Takashi Takamori was even ready to commit seppuku, but Lord General Matsui unexpectedly gave him a chance to atone for his sins.
, as long as he can capture Baoshan before dark today and kill all the living creatures in Baoshan City.
Now, Baoshan has been trampled under his feet. As for Baoshan City... is it possible that there are still living things?
Unlike Takamori Takashi who was relieved, Nishio Jiro's heart was full of regrets. He missed this opportunity and he didn't know when he would be the captain of the team again. But soon, Nishio Jiro adjusted.
With his mentality in mind, he suggested to Takamori Taka: "Your Excellency, Colonel, do you want to conduct a thorough search of Baoshan to prevent any remaining Chinese soldiers from slipping through the net?"
"Yes." Takamori Takashi nodded heavily, and then gritted his teeth and said, "Nishio-kun's suggestion is very reasonable. The Chinese army in Baoshan City has caused great damage to the prestige of the imperial army. We must not let them go easily. Pass on the order.
We must carefully search every corner and every inch of land, and we must not let any Chinese soldiers slip through the net!"
"Hi." Nishio Jiro lowered his head and agreed, then turned around and gave the order.
