The sudden footsteps and bright light alerted the two soldiers. They quickly looked forward and pulled the bolt of their guns. The Japanese soldier behind them quickly ran to the back and turned on the searchlight to shine forward.
As the footsteps approached, they saw a large group of soldiers running towards them. The sound of neat footsteps was particularly clear in the black night.
"Stop... everyone, stop, or we will shoot!" a Japanese soldier in the lead shouted sharply, and pulled the gun bolt in time.
The team running toward them quickly stopped, and a young Japanese officer quickly appeared in front of them. After a while, under the strong searchlight, the two bars on the officer's shoulders were visible.
The yellow stars appeared clearly in the eyes of the sentinels.
"This...this is a major!"
The sentries quickly recognized the officer's rank. This time the officer came to the sentries with a command knife and shouted: "Bage Yalu, is this how you talk to your commander?"
In Japan, which has a very strict class hierarchy, the difference between soldiers and officers is very big. Officers can drill soldiers to death for a trivial matter, not to mention the soldiers pointing their guns at their officers.
When the soldier saw the major approaching him, he knew something was wrong. It seemed that he was going to suffer a lot.
Sure enough, the major walked up to him and without any explanation reached out his hand and gave him a slap in the face. The soldier's eyes were filled with stars, but he still didn't dare to move. He could only puff out his chest and couldn't hold back.
"Hai hai" was shouted, and the other soldier only dared to watch on the sidelines and did not dare to interrupt. After all, in the Japanese army, it was too common for officers to curse subordinate soldiers.
Just as the major was enjoying the slap, a lieutenant ran over, saluted him and said: "Sir, please show me your ID!"
After slapping the soldier a few more times, the major stopped and took out an ID card and handed it to the lieutenant and said: "Are you the commander here? I am the 13th Regiment of the Sixth Division.
Major Hojo of the regiment has come to reinforce Xianning on the orders of the regiment commander. Please get out of the way and let my troops enter the city. Do you understand?"
Listening to the major's obvious Kumamoto accent, the lieutenant hesitated for a moment and then said hesitantly: "Sir, major, do you have the documents of the Sixth Division?"
When the major heard this, he became furious and shouted angrily: "Baga Yalu, you idiot, the military situation is urgent, but I rushed here directly after receiving the call. Now you ask me for documents, where can I get them for you?"
, why don’t you just ask me for His Majesty’s imperial edict? If you delay the emergency military situation, how many heads do you have to chop off?”
The lieutenant also hesitated when the major became angry. Although the Japanese military clearly stipulated that the deployment of troop reinforcements requires written documents, the situation on the battlefield is changing rapidly, and no one can guarantee that the rules will be followed every time.
, usually the superiors would turn a blind eye to this kind of thing, so naturally he didn't want to be the bad guy today.
The lieutenant thought for a while and looked carefully at the ID in his hand. It clearly showed the other party's photo and unit number. It was indeed Major Hojo Hiroshige, captain of the second battalion of the 13th Regiment of the 6th Division.
Seeing this name, the lieutenant's heart skipped a beat. The surname Hojo was a noble surname in Japan. Look at the command sword slung around the major's waist. It was inlaid with several golden circles. It looked very gorgeous.
With his dignified appearance, it seems that this major's background is not simple.
Looking behind the major, I saw that the soldiers were all equipped with Type 38 rifles, Type 11 machine guns, Type 92 heavy machine guns and grenade launchers. There were six to seven hundred soldiers standing neatly on the road, not a single one of them.
Make a sound and you will see that they are the elite warriors of the empire.
Seeing such a situation, the lieutenant was even more unwilling to be regarded as a villain, so he bowed to the major and said, "Thank you for your hard work coming all the way, Major. Please come in."
After saying that, he stepped aside to indicate that the other party could enter.
"Yoshi." Major Hojo waved his hand and shouted: "Let's go!"
Then the team passed the checkpoint and walked towards Xianning County with neat steps. But after they walked for a few minutes, a Japanese superior soldier walked up to the major and said: "Very good, you did a good job."
Yes, if the operation tonight is successful, you will have great credit!"
Unexpectedly, the major actually said respectfully to the superior soldier beside him: "It's all thanks to the cultivation of Your Excellency, General. I am willing to serve for Your Excellency, General!"
If the lieutenant saw such a scene, his glasses would be shattered. This major was none other than Shota Ishida, who had surrendered to the 300th Division not long ago, and the Japanese superior soldier who spoke to him was Li Chenzhe, who belonged to the sixth company of the teaching regiment.
The more than 600 to 700 Japanese soldiers behind them were the 1st Battalion of the Teaching Corps in disguise.
After walking for a while, I encountered more and more Japanese troops. When I saw this unfamiliar team, people came up to check from time to time. It was only thanks to the cover of Shota Ishida and several surrendered soldiers around that I hid it. However, there were also people during this period.
They almost betrayed the gang several times, and Ishida Shota, Li Chenzhe and others were so frightened that their hearts almost jumped out of their chests. However, Li Chenzhe and others also memorized the Japanese defenses along the way.
After walking for more than ten minutes, they finally entered the county town. Shota Ishida looked around and lowered his voice and said to Li Chenzhe: "Chief Li, let's go to the right. Generally, the Japanese army's barracks are arranged in the southeast. Let's go there to move them."
The troops settled down and waited until late at night before launching operations."
"Okay, but I still need to ask for permission!"
After saying that, Li Chenzhe returned to the team and whispered a few words to a Japanese soldier in his thirties dressed as a squad leader. The Japanese soldier nodded calmly. Then Li Chenzhe came back and said to Shota Ishida: "Our commander agrees.
Now, let’s go to a relatively remote place to rest, and we’ll start again when it’s late at night.”
"Hai!"
Ishida responded calmly and led the team towards the northeast...
Xianning County is a large county with a population of more than 300,000. In the center of the county seat is the original county government, which is now the brigade headquarters of the Japanese army.
It was late at night, and Xianning County fell into silence and darkness. Only the brigade headquarters was brightly lit, and there were still many Japanese army staff members busy inside.
Major General Oshima Youran, the top commander of the Japanese army in Xianning, is sitting at the table at the moment, with his eyes slightly closed with a solemn look on his face, listening to the report of an officer wearing the rank of colonel in front of him.
"Your Excellency, Brigade Commander, the China Three Hundred Division is currently stationed in Sandunzhuang, about thirty miles away from me. According to our judgment, they will launch an attack on us tomorrow morning. All our troops have been prepared.
Guaranteed to make the Chinese people suffer a bloody blow."
"Well……"
Odao opened his eyes leisurely, with a bright light in his eyes, "Yo Xi, I won't go into detail about the reputation of the China Three Hundred Division, and I won't list the imperial generals who were defeated by him one by one.
All in all, the 300 Division can be said to be the most powerful force in China. If we can defeat this force, the benefits to our brigade will be self-evident. Mr. Fujita, as the chief of staff, you need to pay more attention.
Already?"
The colonel showed a ferocious look on his face, "Please rest assured, brigade commander, I have made arrangements. Except for leaving one brigade as a reserve, all the troops have been on the front line. As long as three
If the Hundred Masters dare to come here, I will definitely make them suffer a bloody blow and avenge those imperial warriors who died tragically under their guns."
"Yo Xi!" Da Dao nodded leisurely: "I'm glad you can be so cautious. By the way, is there anything going on in the county today?"
"No!" The chief of staff shook his head: "The county is very quiet. I have already banned people from entering and exiting the county freely. Anyone who dares to leave the city at will will be killed!" At this point, the chief of staff's face changed.
It was a ferocious scene above.
"Very good, let's do that, Fujita-kun, go ahead and do your work!"
"Hai!"
The chief of staff was about to leave, but after turning around, he turned back and said to Oshima: "By the way, brigade commander, I heard from the people below that they came from outside the city when it was just getting dark today.
A brigade of soldiers claimed to have come to reinforce us on the orders of General Shiro Inaba, the commander of the Sixth Division. The leader of the group is Major Hiroshi Hojo. Have you seen him?"
"The Sixth Division has come for reinforcements? I didn't see it?" Oshima thought for a while and shook his head in confusion: "No one from the Sixth Division came to report to me just now. What happened?
thing?"
"Huh? Isn't this wrong?"
The Chief of Staff was also a little confused. Logically speaking, the first thing a newly reinforced troop officer should do after arriving at the destination is to report the situation to the local commander. Otherwise, it would be very rude. According to the Chief of Staff
Judging from the reports we received, it has been almost three hours since the troops entered the city, and they should have come to report long ago. However, it is very abnormal that there has been no news until now.
Oshima thought for a while, and his face gradually became serious: "Has that army really been in the city for three hours?"
The chief of staff nodded: "Yes, the checkpoint below called me personally to report it."
"Where are they stationed now?"
"It is said to be north of the city!"
Odao Youran was stunned for a moment, and then he stood up and said loudly: "No, there is definitely something wrong with this army. Our barracks are in the south of the city. How could they go to the north of the city to station themselves? That is against common sense, they must
They are afraid of coming into contact with our troops, they... they are Chinese!"
Oshima's voice was sharp and urgent: "Order the troops to quickly surround the north of the city..."
