"What? The entire Yamada detachment was wiped out? The independent regiment of the 36th China Division ran away! How... how is this possible?"
King Jiuyan of Chaoxiang Palace suddenly stood up from his chair, his originally small eyes now as wide as copper bells.
He quickly walked up to Hisao Tani and Nakajima Konama and roared: "The Yamada detachment has nearly five thousand imperial warriors. How could it be possible that the Chinese were wiped out in less than two hours? Are they using magic?
?This is ridiculous! Hisao Tani, aren’t you going to give me and the base camp an explanation?”
King Asaka Palace Hatohiko roared and picked up Hisao Tani's collar, trying to lift him up. Unfortunately, he exhausted all his strength and could not lift the fat guy in the air.
After being treated like this, Hisao Tani just lowered his head. In fact, he was a little ashamed of King Asaka Palace Hatohiko. This morning, his troops were the first to discover that the independent regiment on the opposite side was retreating, and they were also the first to pursue it. Originally,
He thought that if he could attack the Yamada detachment from both sides, he would be able to eliminate the opponent, but the result was beyond his expectation. The Yamada detachment on the opposite side was completely wiped out, and the national troops actually seized the patrol boats on the shore and flew away. This result made Gu
Hisao and Nakajima had lost face, so in the face of the rebuke from Asaka Palace Hatohiko, he could only endure the anger of Asaka Palace Hatohiko without saying a word.
Nakajima, who was still standing by, couldn't stand it anymore and explained at the side: "Commander, please calm down and please listen to our explanation. The annihilation of the Yamada detachment was not actually due to Tanishou-kun's ineffective rescue, but because of the use of the Chinese people."
Because of the special bombs, the imperial army was unable to respond in time, and they were caught off guard. As a result, the Yamada detachment was completely wiped out."
"Special bombs? How do the Chinese have special bombs? And are the people in the Yamada detachment all fools? They all wear gas masks!"
The Japanese are a very strange nation. They are very good at using words to cover up their crimes or purposes. For example, they like to describe invasion as entry, poison gas bombs as special bombs, and retreat as transfer.
Enter, there are many kinds of things.
King Asaka Palace Kohiko was shocked. When did this backward country also have poison gas bombs? Isn't it a patent of the imperial army to release poison gas all the time?
He asked urgently: "What kind of poisonous gas was it that killed more than five thousand imperial warriors in such a short period of time? Didn't our warriors even have time to put on gas masks?"
Nakajima smiled bitterly and said: "Your Excellency, Commander, we don't know either. We have to ask local experts to investigate to find out. But what is certain is that this is a very powerful poison gas, much stronger than the one used by the Empire."
Any kind of special ammunition is powerful!"
On the side, Hisao Tani gritted his teeth, "Bagaya Road, this matter must not be left alone, we must retaliate. I suggest that special bombs should be launched immediately against the urban area of Nanjing. The Chinese
If we kill five thousand imperial warriors, we will kill fifty thousand or even half a million of them to pay for it with our lives!"
"Absolutely not!"
As soon as Hisao Tani finished speaking, he was met with objections from King Asaka Palace Hatohiko and Nakajima Konso.
King Jiuyan of Chaoxiang Palace shook his head and said: "No, you must report this news to the base camp. If the Chinese master such a powerful special bomb, it will have a major impact on the empire's strategy and tactics!"
From the commander's point of view, King Asaka Palace Kohiko immediately realized that if the Chinese government could mass-produce such powerful poison gas bombs, it would have a huge impact on the top brass of the Japanese army. The Battle of Nanjing originally went very smoothly, but
Since the emergence of this independent group, I have been on bad luck, with bad things happening one after another.
First, the plan to encircle and annihilate the Nanjing garrison was frustrated, allowing Tang Shengzhi and the remaining more than 100,000 Nanjing soldiers and civilians to flee to Jiangbei. In the end, they were blocked by this independent group at the gate of Yijiang Gate for three full days. During these five days,
The Imperial Army had lost at least two to three thousand men, and now the Yamada detachment had been completely wiped out. As the commander of the Shanghai Expeditionary Force, he could not escape this responsibility.
King Jiuyan of Chaoxiang Palace became more and more confused as he thought about it. He waved to the few people in front of him to signal them to go out.
Seeing that the commander issued an order to expel guests, Hisao Tani said unwillingly: "Commander, do you want to retaliate by firing special bombs in residential areas in China to let the Chinese people know how powerful we are?"
King Asaka Palace Kyuhiko shook his head: "No, we must not act rashly. This matter must be informed to the headquarters and the emperor. We will not act until they come and order us, otherwise the consequences will be unpredictable. You must know that there are still many Westerners in Nanjing City.
, it will cause great harm to the reputation of the empire if they are revealed."
"Hai!"
After listening to the words of King Asaka Kyuhiko, Hisao Tani had no choice but to agree. However, when he turned around, he secretly made up his mind, "Although the commander did not allow him to use poison gas to retaliate against the Chinese people, don't the imperial warriors still have rifles?"
, and bayonets, we must let those Chinese people know that the majesty of the Imperial Japanese Army cannot be violated!"
Thinking of this, Hisao Tani turned around and flashed a fierce light in his eyes...
Just when King Kohihiko of the Asaka Palace was furious about the annihilation of the Yamada detachment and the fact that the Chinese army also used poison gas bombs, the two patrol boats Suri was riding on also docked at the shore of Jiangbei.
At this time, the officers and soldiers of the Northwest Supplementary Brigade on the shore also recognized that the two patrol boats coming over were their own, and then they lifted the alert.
Su Rui got off the boat first and was the first to greet a tall, middle-aged soldier in his forties wearing a gray woolen general's uniform and wearing the rank of major general.
As soon as Su Rui saw the military rank on the opponent's shoulder, he immediately raised his hand and saluted: "Reporting to the commander, the 36th Division Independent Regiment was ordered to snipe the Japanese troops as they returned. Please give instructions to the commander!"
This middle-aged soldier was Yang Deliang, the commander of the Northwest Supplementary Brigade. Yang Deliang also exchanged greetings and said with a smile: "You must be the Commander Su of the Independent Regiment. I have admired your name for a long time these days. I am the third soldier."
Commander of the Northwest Supplementary Brigade of the First Army, welcome you back."
Seeing how polite the general across the street was, Su Rui quickly said: "Sir, you are too polite. I am ashamed of myself."
The emphasis in the military is on class distinction. Although Su Rui has not been wearing the military uniform for a long time, he can't help but feel a little excited when he sees this major general being so polite to him. This is a major general. Ever since he came to this time and space, he has seen
The highest official ever. If placed in the later generations when he came, he would be a big shot on the same level as the provincial governor. Although the status of this major general may have shrunk a bit in this time and space, he is still a serious general.
Based on this, Suri has to maintain enough respect for others.
Yang Deliang looked at the wounded and soldiers who were getting off the patrol boat one after another, and asked curiously: "Captain Su, I heard that Yijiangmen has been occupied by the Japanese army. Can you tell me how you fought your way out of the siege?"
of?"
Su Rui said calmly: "It's nothing. We seized a batch of poison gas bombs from the Japanese army a few days ago and used them when we broke out. Don't the little devils like to put a Yamada detachment at Yijiangmen? We
When I arrived, I threw all these gas bombs on the heads of the little devils and knocked them all down."
Yang Deliang was shocked and said in a trembling voice: "What! You poisoned all the Yamada detachment with poison gas?"
"Yes!" Su Rui nodded: "It was too dark at night, and we couldn't see clearly, but I guess there are four to five thousand people."
"This this……"
At this time, Yang Deliang no longer knew what to say. It was a detachment of four to five thousand people, not five thousand chickens, and they were just wiped out by hundreds of their remaining soldiers?
"You...you...just wait and report to Chief Hu and Chief Luo right away!"
Yang Deliang, who was surprised for a long time, thought for a long time before stammering. He was about to turn around and give orders to the adjutant Yang Jinbao beside him. However, he was stopped by Su Rui. Su Rui smiled bitterly and said: "Sir Yang, don't report it yet."
Busy, we are new here and we are not familiar with the place. Can you help us find a place first so that we can settle our brothers first."
Yang Debao slapped his head and then said with a wry smile: "Oh, look at me, I am really stupid! Just wait, I will ask someone to arrange it right away. Yang Jinbao, please send someone to bring the brothers of the 36th Division right away.
Let’s take a rest at the brigade headquarters and let the cooking team quickly prepare meals for the brothers to have a good meal.”
"yes!"
After arranging the food and accommodation for the soldiers, Yang Debao turned to Su Rui and said: "Commander Su, your 36th Division is stationed in Hongfeng Town not far from here. Deputy Commander Luo, Commander Hu Zongnan and others are all there.
, do you want to report to Hongfeng Town with me?"
"What? Going to see Chief Song?"
The smile on Su Rui's face suddenly froze. Did he, the fake, really want to see the real commander? Su Rui's heart suddenly tightened.
Seeing Su Rui's face change slightly, Yang Debao's mind changed and he seemed to understand something. In the past few days, he also learned a little about Su Rui from telegrams and colleagues' mouths. This guy turned out to be only the 163rd Division of the Thirty-sixth Division.
A deputy director of the logistics department of the regiment ran away from Yijiangmen to Nanjing for unknown reasons. Unexpectedly, he became prosperous and organized a team to form an independent battalion.
After fighting several battles in Nanjing, he was favored by Chairman Chiang Kai-shek, so he formed an independent regiment and served as its leader. It is said that he jumped from the deputy director of the logistics department to the regiment leader.
Yes, but the army has its own rules and regulations since ancient times.
You, the deputy director of the Logistics Department, are just making money on weekdays. No one will take it seriously with you. But if you raise a team without permission, this is a taboo for those in charge. If you are a military officer in any army,
No superior officer would tolerate a subordinate's behavior of recruiting troops without authorization. If it were the crime in ancient times, it was no different from rebellion, and he would be beheaded without negotiation.
Although it is not as harsh as it was in ancient times, and Chairman Chiang Kai-shek also corrected his name and gave him a designation, it is inevitable that he will be disliked by his superiors. No wonder Captain Su is in constant trouble.
Just as Yang Debao was thinking, the sound of horse hooves came from the northeast, and then a voice reached their ears.
"Deputy Commander Luo, Chief Hu Zongnan, and Chief Song Xilian are here..."
