Chapter 455 The Mutiny of the Imperial Alliance Army
"Master, I'm worried that if the fight continues like this, there will be a mutiny in the troops. After all, such an attack will undoubtedly make the brothers risk their lives to risk mines. Now because of the large number of unnecessary casualties in the troops, many people are dissatisfied.
Therefore, I am worried that if this continues, it will cause these dissatisfied soldiers to mutiny. If that happens, the consequences will be disastrous." The leader of the vanguard regiment said quickly.
Hearing the gunshots like exploding beans and the soldiers' shouts of killing coming from the direction of the vanguard regiment. The division commander, who had just been lost in thought because of the words of the leader of the vanguard regiment, immediately reacted from the shock. At the same time, a look on his face
With a look of horror on his face, he quickly asked the regiment leader in front of him: "What happened up front? Was the vanguard regiment blocked by the Eighth Route Army, or..."
"Master, when you hear the gunshots, it doesn't sound like you've encountered an enemy. I'm just afraid that the soldiers of the vanguard regiment will mutiny because they don't want to die like this..." The regiment leader immediately frowned and hurriedly
replied.
"What, there's a mutiny in the troops... Damn, how come it's so fast? Just when we mentioned mutiny, something like this happened to the vanguard group. Quickly, order the second and third regiments to prepare for battle immediately and prepare to surround the first group. We must prevent it.
This kind of mutiny is spreading. If you don't get back to your own unit right away, watch your vanguard regiment. If something really happens to the regiment, don't come back and just commit suicide to apologize..." The division commander hurriedly said
commanded.
"Yes, Master, I will go back immediately and try to control the troops so that there will be no mutiny. However, Master, we must come up with a proper solution in advance. Otherwise, even if we temporarily control a group of
Mutiny, after several other regiments are transferred, mutiny will also occur, so please consider it carefully..." After saying that, before the division commander could react from the shock, he hurriedly took a few close guards with him.
He rushed towards the position of the vanguard group.
It turned out that the vanguard regiment, under the command of the deputy commander, lost two companies of troops, but the troops only advanced less than fifty meters. Just as the deputy commander waved the weapon in his hand
, when he was about to drive away the remaining soldiers of the third company of the first battalion and continue to risk their lives through landmines to clear the way for the Japs. The third company commander, who was already full of anger, could no longer stand the tactic of letting his soldiers die in vain.
Facing the arrogant deputy commander, the third company commander did not hesitate at all. He immediately pulled out his pistol and pulled the trigger on the deputy commander. The entire mutiny started because of his gunfire...
"Brothers, if we continue like this, we will all die in the landmines laid by the Eighth Route Army. Anyway, we can't escape death in the end, so we will fight with the little devils. Even if we die, we must be dignified Chinese. Brother
Brothers, fight back with me. We will never step into landmines for the little devils again. Brothers, fight with me..." In an instant, nearly a thousand soldiers in the entire army, encouraged by the third company commander, raised their hands one after another.
of rifles, prepared for mutiny…
Of course, just when these soldiers were getting ready for battle, the guard company responsible for supervising the battle had already reacted from the shock. The black holes of the gun muzzles were spitting out at the soldiers in front of them who were preparing to retreat.
After firing deadly bullets, dozens of Imperial Army soldiers who rushed to the front fell into a pool of blood in just a split second without any surprise.
However, the death of the soldiers in front of them did not frighten these nearly a thousand soldiers who had no regard for their own life and death. Instead, it inspired these soldiers to hate the guard company in front of them... Facing the guard company in front of them, they had already
A group of soldiers who planned to fight the little devil without any hesitation immediately pulled the trigger on the guard company, preparing to resist...
How could a guard company with only nearly a hundred soldiers of the Imperial Alliance Army stop nearly a thousand soldiers who had gone crazy? In less than a few minutes, under the leadership of the company commander, the guard company, which had suffered more than half of its casualties, happened
They retreated. Nearly a thousand soldiers followed closely behind the defeated soldiers of the guard company and rushed towards the direction of the main force.
The leader of the vanguard regiment, who had just left the main force and was preparing to return to his own unit, had just rushed out less than a few hundred meters away when he joined the ranks of the defeated guard company. Along with nearly a thousand soldiers who seemed to have gone crazy,
When they rushed to less than 200 meters away from the main force, the two regiments that had received the order from the division commander had not yet carried out any deployment, let alone started a battle...
As a result, nearly a thousand soldiers rushed into the main force without almost any resistance. One stone stirred up a thousand waves... As nearly a thousand soldiers rushed into the main force, coupled with the words and deeds of these soldiers,
With the agitation, more and more soldiers are dissatisfied with the Japanese army and their commanders...
Amid the slogans of nearly a thousand soldiers, more and more Imperial Army soldiers joined the rebellion. The entire rebel army continued to expand like a snowball. From the initial few thousand Imperial Army soldiers to two
More than a thousand people, more than 3,000 people... Just when these so-called rebels rushed to less than a hundred meters away from the Imperial Alliance Army division commander, the number of the entire rebel army had reached more than two-thirds of the total number.
.More than 10,000 Imperial Army troops, encouraged by the rumors, joined the ranks of the rebels one after another.
Listening to the roar of the rebels and looking at the rebel troops that were getting louder and faster and quickly sweeping towards their position, the two division commanders were like ants on a hot pot, walking back and forth in front of the commanders.
I walked back and forth, thinking about possible solutions. However, a few minutes passed, and not only did I not think of any solution, but I received news that was even more frightening than the previous one.
"Reporting to the division commander, the commander of the fourth regiment, and the commander of the Wumo regiment, together with all the troops under his command, joined the ranks of the rebels. Now the total strength of the rebels has reached more than 12,000 people..." A combat staff officer said,
Panting, he ran up to the two of them and answered them in a panic.
"What, the two commanders of the Fourth Regiment and the Fifth Regiment have also joined... Oh no, now that the Fourth and Fifth Regiments have taken the lead, in the face of the powerful rebels, the other main regiments may also be in danger of rebelling at any time.
Chief of Staff, immediately lead the divisional security battalion to monitor all regiment-level commanders of the army. If they make any abnormal move, they will be killed immediately..." A division commander exclaimed and quickly ordered.
"Wait a minute..." Just when the chief of staff was about to leave, another division commander suddenly stopped him...
"You guys, please step aside. Don't convey the order yet. Commander Zhou and I have something to discuss..." Before Commander Zhou in front of him could speak, Commander Wang, who had just stopped the chief of staff from conveying the order, turned to someone beside him.
The officers ordered.
"Brother Wang, you are, have you already thought of something?" Seeing the officers around him leaving one after another, Commander Zhou frowned and asked in a low voice.
"Brother Zhou, if you can think of a way, that would be great. However, if the order you just gave is not good, it will kill our brothers... So, I have to stop the chief of staff from conveying the order..." Wang
The division commander shook his head and replied.
"Brother Wang, what do you mean?" Mr. Zhou frowned and asked with a puzzled look on his face.
"Brother Zhou, think about it, the total strength of the rebels has reached more than 12,000, and more soldiers will join the ranks of the rebels. Even if we control these regiment leaders, we will
Without soldiers, would the little devils still regard us as human beings? If nothing else happens, they will definitely think that the rebellion of our soldiers was all planned by us, and then kill us to set an example and deter the rebellious soldiers.
"Mr. Wang explained helplessly.
"Ah! Brother Wang, if this is the case, then we will be taken advantage of. However, thank you for the reminder, Brother Wang. I know in my heart that what Brother Wang just said is definitely possible. Brother Wang, now brothers
We all depend on you, you must come up with a proper solution for us, otherwise, we will really..." After listening to Mr. Wang's words, Mr. Zhou couldn't help but break out in a cold sweat, and quickly replied.
"Brother Zhou, I have a way, but the chance of success is only half. If it succeeds, then we will be heroes, and we can be upright Chinese people in the future. If we fail, we will not lose the face of the Chinese people.
"I just don't know if Brother Zhou dares to follow me, let's do it together..." As he spoke, Mr. Wang's eyes showed a trace of murderous intent.
"Brother Wang, do you mean to join the rebellion with your brothers, fight against the Japs, and try to kill the remaining 10,000 Japs?" Master Zhou nodded.
"Yes, we are all dead now anyway. However, we have more than 20,000 troops in our hands, which is as good as the Japs. In addition, the Japs lost all their heavy weapons last night.
My opinion is that we can use the ruins of Baoding City to compete with the little devils. As long as we can persist until the main force of the Eighth Route Army's independent division arrives, we can carry out pincer attacks with the Eighth Route Army from inside and outside to eliminate these hateful little devils..."
Mr. Wang said affirmatively.
"Do it, why not do it. We have been wearing this traitor skin for several years. Now I finally have the opportunity to wash away the shame of collecting grass and become a real Chinese again. I am happy before it is too late.
How could you disagree? Brother Wang, from now on, I will listen to you and do whatever you ask me to do..." Mr. Zhou nodded and said.
"Okay, in that case, let's do it. Chief of Staff, immediately convey the order to all the troops that can be contacted. From now on, we will no longer be the Imperial Alliance Army. We have fallen out with the little devil. Tell all the troops, immediately
In the shortest possible time, gather on standby and prepare for battle..." Having made the decision, Commander Wang no longer hesitated. He gave a loud order to the Chief of Staff ten meters away...
"Ah, Master...this..." After hearing the words of the division commander in front of him, the chief of staff was obviously stunned and asked in disbelief.
"What is this? Go and deliver the order right away. The little devil will find out the situation a little later. By then, even if we want to rebel, we won't be able to..." Looking at the shocked chief of staff, Commander Wang continued to give the order.
road.
"Yes, Master, I will go and deliver the order right away..." After receiving the order from the division commander, the chief of staff immediately changed from the shock just now to the excitement now. Because he knew that from now on, he could finally stop wearing clothes.
With this traitor's skin, he can become an upright Chinese again...
With the division commander's order, the several main regiments that were still in a wait-and-see state immediately responded actively and prepared for battle. As for the more than 10,000 Imperial Army soldiers who had become rebels, after learning that they
After the division commander prepared to take him with him to fight against the Japs, he did not hesitate at all. Under the command of commanders at all levels, he immediately stopped the riot and waited for the latest order. The whole process was beyond everyone's expectations.
Outside, less than half an hour later, 20,000 troops stood neatly in front of the division commander, waiting for orders...
Looking at the 20,000-strong army with such high efficiency, it was not until this moment that the two division commanders truly realized that the soldiers who shouted loyalty to the imperial army and loyalty to themselves every day in front of them had actually long ago thought in their hearts.
They had to take off their traitor skin and join the team to fight the Japanese. Otherwise, why would they have reacted so quickly today? Thinking of this, the two division commanders could only shake their heads speechlessly after some shock.
.
However, the division commander of the Royal Association Army, who was the colonel of the National Army before surrendering, recovered immediately after a brief shock. Based on his familiarity with the terrain around Baoding City, he immediately began to assign tasks
.In less than a few minutes, all 20,000 troops had their tasks assigned to them.
"Brothers, we have resisted the traitors for so long, and we have to work hard every day without complaint. But what do we get in exchange? A life that is worse than a pig or a dog. Damn it, I have had enough of this kind of life.
. Today I decided to lead you and the little devils to fight hard. If you win, I will lead you to join the Eighth Route Army. If you lose, we will also be upright Chinese. Now start taking action. Each unit must be in half an hour.
Inside, they arrived at their respective attack positions. When they saw the first three rounds taking off, they immediately launched an attack for me, then occupied the predetermined position and blocked it..." Looking at the eager commanders at all levels in front of him, Commander Wang cleared the air
With his own voice, he ordered loudly...
"Long live, long live, long live the master..." A burst of excited roars came out from the mouths of these commanders. It can be seen that these commanders were very excited at this moment...
Just when the 20,000 Imperial Army troops began to make secret mobilizations, the remaining 10,000 people of the Japanese 108th Division were stationed in a piece of flat land almost one kilometer away from Baoding City under the orders of the division commander.
, waiting for the victory report of the Imperial Army, completely unaware that the weak Imperial Army, which he had always looked down upon, would dare to pick up the weapons in his hands and attack the invincible Imperial Army at this moment...
And in this confident environment, no patrols or guard posts were dispatched to the station where more than 10,000 little devils were stationed. All the more than 10,000 little devils, all in small teams, sat on the ground to rest and recuperate.
In this way, the little devils, who were completely unwary, did not notice at all that almost a kilometer away from them, a group of Imperial Alliance troops were moving around them and rushing towards their planned attack position.
past….
Half an hour later, just when the anxiously waiting division commander was about to ask someone to inquire about the progress of the Imperial Army's troops ahead, three sharp gunshots reached the little devil's ears. Immediately after, three more shots
The flare, drawing a dazzling arc, flew into the sky...
"Nani, what's going on? Why are there signal flares in the sky? Could it be that the main force of the Eighth Route Army has already sensed it? However, during an hour's air force reconnaissance, no Eighth Route Army troops were found within a radius of dozens of miles.
Ah!" Hearing the explosion of the signal bomb, the division commander raised his head and asked in confusion...
"Ah... Bageya Road, division commander, we are surrounded..." Just when the division commander looked puzzled, the voice of the division chief of staff came to his ears. Following the division chief of staff
Looking in the direction of his finger, he saw that countless black figures suddenly appeared around his troops. And these countless figures had completely surrounded the remaining more than 10,000 troops.
Quickly advance to the location of your troops.
"Ah, Baga, how could it be possible? How could it be the Imperial Association Army troops? What do they want to do? Do these Imperial Association Army troops want to rebel?" Seeing this, the division commander quickly raised the telescope in his hand.
Suddenly, the division commander couldn't help but open his mouth and asked in disbelief. Because, what appeared in his telescope was the Imperial Alliance Army, which he had always considered weak and vulnerable and without any fighting power.
force…
"Boom, boom, boom... da da da…" However, just as he finished speaking, a burst of dense explosions and Johnson had already answered his question. Looking around, around his troop station, there were almost
At the same time, there was a burst of intensive gunfire. Every imperial soldier on the edge of the station was killed in the shooting because of his own carelessness.
However, the resting kid reacted quickly after a brief period of confusion. He lay down on the ground and exchanged fire with the Imperial Army troops directly opposite him. In an instant, the flying bullets killed many of them.
The soldiers of the Imperial Army were swept to the ground, and the Imperial Army's attack had to be stopped due to the fierce counterattack of the Japanese army.
