Seeing the soldier's coy look, the platoon leader couldn't help but asked in confusion: "Tong Yanfeng, what's going on with you kid? Why are you dawdling around when I ask you to beat me? If you dawdle any longer, you're going to run away!"
Tong Yanfeng hesitated for a moment, then he said with some embarrassment: "Sir, if I hit that Japs, can you tell the company commander and reward me with the company's K98 Mauser rifle with a scope?"
"Hey... you guys even told me the terms, you are getting bolder!" The platoon leader was angry and funny. He wanted to give him a pot sticker, but he thought about it and took his hand back before saying:
"Okay, as long as you hit that Japanese officer, I will talk to the company commander, but I can't guarantee whether it will happen or not!"
Tong Yanfeng was overjoyed and said repeatedly: "Okay, as long as you say this, it will be done, just take a look!"
After saying that, Tong Yanfeng raised the Garand rifle in his hand and slowly placed a small black dot running in front of him into the aiming aperture.
Holding his breath, he pulled the trigger with the index finger of his right hand, and then the Garand rifle made a crisp and clear gunshot sound, and the rapidly rotating bullet quickly rushed out of the barrel.
As the gunfire rang out, a Japanese soldier who was escaping rapidly three hundred meters away fell to the ground in an awkward manner. As he fell, the person on his back was also thrown to the ground.
Seeing the Japanese soldier fall to the ground, the platoon leader on the side happily patted Tong Yanfeng on the shoulder and praised: "What a good boy, your marksmanship is really good! Brothers, hurry up and catch the enemy alive! The officers have said that we should capture a Japanese soldier alive."
The officer is greatly rewarded!"
The Japanese soldier who was hit by Tong Yanfeng did not seem to be hit critically. He staggered and tried to stand up, but was unable to do so and fell to the ground. When the surrounding Japanese soldiers saw this, they quickly separated two people and helped the two men up.
They continued to run, but how could they outrun the pursuers behind them with two people who did not move at all? Soon, they were overtaken by the pursuers behind them.
The person who was hit just now was the major officer who was carrying Imamura Konosuke on his back. His right thigh was hit, and he was bleeding profusely. Naturally, he couldn't walk, so he could only let two soldiers kill him.
Imamura Yukinosuke ran on his back.
It must be said that this group of Japanese soldiers led by Imamura Konosuke still had a very strong desire to survive, but unfortunately, they were overtaken in the end.
Seeing the pursuers behind him getting closer and closer, with whizzing bullets constantly passing around them, Imamura Konosuke laughed sadly, patted the shoulder of the Japanese soldier who was running desperately with his own soldiers on his back and said: "Okay
Now, put me down. Since I can’t run away, let’s fight like a real warrior..."
"Sir...good news, good news!"
A voice sounded outside the headquarters of the former Ninth Division. Su Rui and Zheng Zuomin, who had returned to the Songshankou headquarters with the commander of the Ninth Division Zheng Zuomin to wait for the results of the battle, raised their heads and saw Liang Zhi running away in a hurry, sweating profusely.
He came in and shouted happily: "Master, news came from the front line. A small unit of the 659th Regiment of the 399th Brigade discovered and killed the commander of the Imamura detachment, Konosuke Imamura, more than 20 miles away from the 3210 Highland.
As of now, it can be said that the Imamura detachment has been completely wiped out by us!"
"What!"
Two voices sounded, and Su Rui and Zheng Zuomin stood up at the same time.
"Ziran, is the news accurate?"
Liang Zhi nodded: "It has been verified. They seized Konosuke Imamura's saber, major general collar badge and his military officer ID. These are enough to prove that the Japanese officer who was killed was Konosuke Imamura."
"Okay, well done!"
Suri happily struck the palm of his hand and killed Imamura Konosuke. This annihilation battle was perfect, otherwise there would always be regrets.
Zheng Zuomin on the side felt a little sour in his heart, but he still stood up and said to Su Rui: "Brother Su, congratulations to you. This is your first achievement in annihilating the enemy chief! I believe the Ministry of Military Affairs will definitely reward you!"
"Same joy!" Seeing Zheng Zuomin's slightly unnatural expression, Su Rui's heart turned slightly and she knew what he was thinking. The 9th Division had worked hard to fight the Japanese here for so many days and almost lost its position.
They were all lost, but as soon as he came, not only did Imamura's detachment be wiped out, but even Major General Imamura Konosuke was killed. The contrast was so great that it was difficult for an individual to accept it.
No matter what era the Chinese people are in, they value being in harmony with each other, making money together, sitting in rows and eating fruits, and those who eat alone are destined to be hated by others, so Su Rui has no intention of taking all the credit.
He smiled and said to Zheng Zuomin: "Mr. Zheng, without your strong support and cooperation this time, we would not have been able to annihilate the Imamura detachment so quickly. We will jointly send a telegram asking for credit to the chief's department later. You see
How is it?"
"This...how does this mean that it was your department that annihilated Imamura's detachment? How can we take the credit? No, no, no..."
When Zheng Zuomin heard this, he understood in his heart what it meant to co-sign the victory telegram with him? He wanted to share the credit equally with him!
Now it was Zheng Zuomin's turn to feel a little embarrassed. His family knew about his family affairs. Once this telegram was sent, anyone with a discerning eye would understand at a glance. Before the 300th Division came, his Ninth Division could only struggle.
A big victory came immediately, which clearly explained everything.
If someone is willing to share the credit equally with you, that's because they are being polite, but if you shamelessly share the credit with them, that's because you are being ungrateful.
Zheng Zuomin shook his head and declined: "Brother Su, you are too polite. You should sign this victory telegram. Our Ninth Division deserves this credit!"
"Eh..." Su Rui said with a smile: "Mr. Zheng, you are too polite. Without the strong assistance of the Ninth Division, our 300th Division would not have defeated the Imamura detachment so happily. We still have to sign our names together. You
Don't be polite."
"No, no, no..."
The two of them humbled each other for a while, and finally Zheng Zuomin and Su Rui signed the telegram drafted by the staff and sent it out. You can imagine what kind of sensation this telegram will cause after it is sent out.
After sending the telegram, Zheng Zuomin rubbed his hands and said with some embarrassment: "Brother Su, brother, I have benefited from you this time. I cannot thank you enough. If you need my help with anything in the future, just feel free to do so."
"Say, if there's nothing else, I'll leave first, brother."
After that, Zheng Zuomin was about to go out. This time he fought with the Imamura detachment for more than ten days. The casualties of the troops were almost half, and they urgently needed to return to Tianjia Town to rest and replenish their troops to restore their combat effectiveness.
"Brother Zheng, please wait!" Su Rui called out to Zheng Zuomin who was about to leave.
Zheng Zuomin stopped, with a look of shock on his face, "Brother Su, is there anything else going on?"
"Yes!" Su Rui nodded and said to Zheng Zuomin: "Brother Zheng, it's like this. The complete annihilation of the Imamura detachment this time should be beyond the Japanese's expectations. I plan to take advantage of the fact that the Japanese haven't woken up yet.
Send your troops eastward and take the opportunity to attack Guangji. As long as Guangji County is recovered, our army's situation will be much better."
"What? You want to attack Guangji County?" Zheng Zuomin was shocked after hearing Su Rui's words. "You have to understand that Guangji is where the Japanese Sixth Division is stationed. It's a tough target! And your mission is
It’s not about recovering Guangji, so there’s no need to do anything extra, right?”
Zheng Zuomin was incredulous about Su Rui's idea. The annihilation of Imamura's detachment was a great achievement. Why did he bother to recapture Guangji?
If he arbitrarily recaptures Guangji without orders from the top, he may not be rewarded if he wins, and if he loses, he will definitely be hit with a slap in the face. Only a fool would do such a thing, right?
Suri nodded: "Yes!"
Zheng Zuomin's face also became solemn, and he asked in a deep voice: "Brother Su, although you and I have only met today, I will only have a brief exchange of words. I was also very sad about the fall of Guangji a few days ago, but...
The Sixth Division, one of the most elite divisions of the Japanese army, is stationed in Guangji. If you win the attack on Guangji this time, you may not necessarily have merit, but if you lose, you must have merit. There is no need for you to do this. Listen to my advice.
, if you really want to attack Guangji, you should ask Chief Li and Chief Chen for instructions before proceeding!"
Su Rui smiled helplessly: "Brother Zheng, thank you for reminding me. I didn't know this. But what I have to fight now is a time difference. If I rely on asking for instructions, the day lily will be cold. Now I can only cut it first and tell later.
Send a telegram and send out troops at the same time!"
Su Rui knew that the defeat of the Wuhan Battle in history started with the loss of four supporting points along the Yangtze River. Now the three supporting points of Madang, Hukou, and Jiujiang have been lost, and the supporting point of Tianjia Town is also in danger, although he today
The Imamura detachment was annihilated, but the crisis in Tianjia Town has not been fundamentally reversed. The only way to resolve the crisis in Tianjia Town is to recapture Guangji. This is the policy of "defending Wuhan without fighting Wuhan" originally proposed by the Wuhan Military Commission.
Only then can it be implemented.
Zheng Zuomin looked at Su Rui with a complicated expression, and then sighed: "Brother Zhongxin, I am not as good as you, brother! Well, then I will guard Songshan Pass for you first, and you can feel free to send troops!"
"Thank you, Brother Zheng!"
Su Rui solemnly saluted Zheng Zuomin and walked out of the headquarters.
Looking at Su Rui's back, Zheng Zuomin was silent for a long time. It was not until Su Rui's back disappeared in front of him that he turned around and said loudly: "Hao Weiguo!"
"Here!" Chief of Staff Hao Weiguo ran over and responded loudly.
"Record the telegram immediately!"
"yes!"
Hao Weiguo quickly took out a pen and paper and prepared to start recording.
"The telegram is as follows: Commander Chen of the theater and Commander Zheng Zuomin of the Ninth Division of the Second Army reported that the 300th Division rushing to our aid has completely annihilated the Imamura detachment today and will march towards Guangji in the afternoon. Division Commander Su said before departure
We must fight to the death to recapture Guangji for the sake of the country and the nation..."
