Itagaki Seishiro looked at the 10th Division's request for help telegram, looked at the map and said, "Thirty miles away? Now the 10th Division is only thirty miles away from us?"
Sakurada Takeshi said anxiously, "Division Commander, what should we do now?"
Itagaki Seishiro looked at the strategic map and only saw the 10th Division at the foot of a mountain not far from him. Two divisions of the National Army blocked his way back, and he also had the annoying Zhang Zizhong beside him, and the 10th Division
God knows how many Nationalist troops were chasing the regiment. What should we do?
-Shanghai
Koiso Kuniaki, who had finally arrived in Shanghai, was dumbfounded by the sudden war situation. Now that the 10th Division had withdrawn north, he did not have to do anything but send a report to Tokyo to explain the situation.
—Beiping
Juichi Terauchi looked at the urgent call from the 10th Division and said anxiously, "What is that guy Seishiro Itagaki doing? It's only thirty miles away now, can't he even get through?"
Next to him, the commander of the Second Army, Hisao Nishio, shook his head and said, "I'm afraid there won't be any good results if he goes in. After all, there are too many National Army troops around, and we all underestimate the National Army."
Terauchi Takashi nodded and said, "We have indeed underestimated the enemy, but I guarantee this is the last time. If the 10th Division of Electric Power is really difficult, we are allowed to disperse and break out."
You know, originally the Tenth Division was said to be transferred, but once it was dispersed, it could no longer say what the transfer was, but was completely defeated. When Terauchi Shouichi said such words, it meant that he was completely shameless.
I hope the 10th Division will not be completely wiped out.
At this time, Tang Enbo received the telegram from Sun Yuanliang and others. He smiled and said to Sun Lianzhong next to him, "Look, the 10th Division is surrounded by us again. This time the Japanese can't escape. There are more than 20,000 people left."
For less than 10,000 yuan, it’s really not worth it for the Japanese to run all the way.”
Sun Lianzhong nodded and said, "This was also done properly by Chief Li. If it weren't for this ambush strategy, how could we have achieved such results?"
When Tang Enbo heard this, he couldn't help but feel unhappy. I fought this battle and led the troops. In the end, Li Zongren, who enjoyed a good life in Xuzhou, got the most credit. But this was not the time to talk about this. Tang Enbo stopped talking and said,
He stopped his horse and shouted to the troops who were running forward, "Brothers, please work harder. Victory is ahead. Killing a Japanese will reward you ten oceans. The captain of the group will be rewarded with one thousand, and the captain of the unit will be rewarded with ten thousand. If you
If you capture the division commander alive, I guarantee you will be promoted to the third level and earn thirty thousand yuan."
Hearing this reward, everyone's eyes were red. This month's military pay is only a few oceans, and it is being deducted at every turn. If you can catch a captain, you can go home and buy land and become a landlord. As for what happens next
The soldiers of the National Army will not be delusional about the division commander or something like that. The big boss must be taken by someone from above. The most I can think of is the captain.
After Tang Enbo's military order, Tang Enbo's troops immediately sped up. The other troops scolded him for being despicable and also increased their rewards. The troops soon caught up with the tail of the 10th Division.
Isotani Rensuke looked at the telegram with trembling hands and dispersed to break out? This was a complete admission of failure. Isn't the Fifth Division very close to him? Why didn't he come to the rescue? Isotani Rensuke couldn't accept this fact and faced Sun Yuanliang.
The guard on the top of the mountain shouted, "Attack! Attack! Get out here."
"Boom!" A burst of thunder came. Isotani Rensuke looked at the sky in surprise, but saw that the sky had been covered with dark clouds at some point. Isotani Rensuke felt cold in his heart. Sure enough, it started to rain heavily.
Looking at the top of the mountain, which was only more than a hundred meters high, Isotani Rensuke knew that in such weather, it was impossible for him to climb the top of the mountain.
"Division commander, the Chinese troops are chasing us again." Tebuchagui said hurriedly.
Isotani Rensuke looked at him, smiled, shook his head and said, "Order the troops to disperse and break out, one by one. In addition, let the several captains burn all the flags."
After hearing this, Tsubujiagui knelt down and said, "Division commander, no, it can't be like this. Then our 10th Division will really be defeated."
Isotani Rensuke kicked him away and shouted, "Aren't we defeated now? The world has been settled by conquering Nanjing. It's all nonsense. We are too proud and underestimate the enemy, so we have today's disastrous defeat. It doesn't matter if we lose, as long as
Once the establishment is here, we can retrain the troops and fight back. Issue orders."
Tsubasa Ki stared blankly at Isotani Rensuke for a while, then slowly turned back to convey the order.
"Captain, do we really want to burn it?" an officer said in disbelief as he looked at the military flag doused with gasoline.
Akashiba Yaezo was covered in dirty mud and blood. He closed his eyes and nodded, saying, "Burn!"
"Hoo!" The fire suddenly burst into flames. The flag guard watched the military flag that he regarded as life turn into ashes, and suddenly shouted "Long live His Majesty the Emperor!!" He took out his pistol and pointed it at his head.
gun.
Akashiba Yaezo didn't even look at it. He turned around and said, "The whole family is preparing to disperse and break out. Remember, don't lose the face of the imperial army's warriors."
After Seishiro Itagaki of the 5th Division learned that the 10th Division had begun to disperse and break out, he no longer struggled with whether to rescue his old classmates, but instead built a defensive position to prepare for the next National Army attack.
Hu Lian saw that one-third of his troops had fallen behind, and he didn't know whether these people would come back. Not far ahead was Tianbao Mountain, which was the only way for the Japanese troops in Linyi to retreat.
The road was also the logistics line of the Japanese army. In order to prevent the Japanese army from noticing him, he walked over the mountains and ridges from Shanting Mountain and took the mountain road to get here. He was able to get here in just four days thanks to the constant presence of mountain people along the way.
Show him the way, otherwise it will be a problem whether he can come out of the mountain.
Hu Lian thought about the past few days and couldn't help but stick out his tongue and said, "This mountain is really difficult to climb. I don't want to take this road again. How about it? Have the Japanese retreated?"
"Master, convoy, convoy." A communications soldier hurriedly ran over and said, "Master, there is a convoy passing down the mountain. It looks like it is the Japanese logistics supply. I am old, do you want to fight?"
When Hu Lian heard this, he immediately smiled and said, "Hit me, why don't you beat me? Beat me hard."
Itagaki Seishiro looked at the embarrassed logistics convoy captain and said in disbelief, "You said a large number of national troops appeared behind us?"
Itagaki Seishiro felt that he had such a bad back, and would be beaten by others in the logistics line wherever he went. This was the case in Shanxi, and it was also the same when he came to Shandong. He was lacking in the five elements and was at a disadvantage when encountering mountains.
"At least, there is at least one division of troops. They came out of the mountains." The captain of the convoy said quickly, hoping that he could use the information in exchange for not being punished.
"Well, I understand, you go down and fix it." Itagaki Seishiro nodded and said.
"Division Commander, it seems that the National Army wants to wrap us up too. They have such a big appetite. This Li Zongren's use of troops is so vicious." Takeru Sakurada said with lingering fear.
"Order. Our troops immediately move to open up the rear. They must not be surrounded by the National Army. We also send a message to the 10th Division to inform them of our situation and tell them not to join us and to go north on their own."
After Zhang Zizhong discovered the abnormal movements of the Fifth Division, he immediately judged that the Fifth Division was trying to retreat when the situation was not good, and immediately ordered the troops to prepare for an attack. However, he was worried that this was a trick by the Fifth Division to lure the enemy, so he only dispatched one division.
After making a tentative attack, he found that the Japanese position was completely empty. Zhang Zizhong was so angry that he cursed Itagaki for being as cowardly as a mouse for running away before he surrounded you.
The entire Linyi area is now surrounded by dangers for the Japanese army. There are National Army troops appearing from nowhere everywhere. They can only hold a group and rush north. Once they fall, they will be swallowed up by the National Army chasing behind them. In Xuzhou
Seeing this, Li Zongren was completely relieved.
"Is this the coalition flag?" Chi Fengcheng said, looking at the burned wooden stick in front of him.
"Master, you think this little devil is too abominable. Such a great achievement has been burned."
Chi Fengcheng laughed and said, "If he doesn't burn it, their staff will be gone. Let me continue to chase him until he reaches that old ghost Isogaya. His head will be used as a sacrifice to the fallen soldiers."
Itagaki Seishiro looked at the mountain in front of him in the heavy rain and asked, "Is there any other way out?"
Sakurada Takeshi shook his head and said, "This is the only trail here, but there are usually trails in this big mountain, I just don't know where they are."
Itagaki Seishiro thought for a while and said, "It's too late. If we delay any longer, our troops will suffer the same fate as the 10th Division. Break out from the east immediately without any stop."
Hu Lian watched the Japanese troops at the bottom of the mountain just wander and then disappear. He was really puzzled. Suddenly he heard that the Japanese troops were heading east. When he looked at the map, he jumped up in anger and cursed, "Why is this little devil so cowardly?
There is a detour. Chase, chase me!!"
Zhang Zizhong stood at the gate of Linyi City, watching the approaching convoy, and rode up to greet it.
"General Tang, General Sun, thank you for your hard work." Zhang Zizhong saluted first and said.
Tang Enbo and Sun Lianzhong returned the favor and said, "This battle was really enjoyable. I just don't know if Isoya Rensuke has been captured."
Zhang Zizhong said nonchalantly, 'Whether we are caught or not, the Japanese army's defeat will not change. I think the Japanese army will never dare to look at Taierzhuang again.'
This sentence hit Sun Lianzhong's itch, and he smiled and said, "Brother, it's just a matter of life. It's nothing special."
At this time, Rensuke Isotani and others dressed up as Chinese refugees and carefully walked out of the mountains. Thanks to Rensuke Isotani who spoke Chinese relatively fluently, he was always there to say hello to anything they encountered. They escaped all the way.
.
"Stop!" A cry surrounded him.
When Isotani Rensuke saw three or four people dressed as bandits, he quickly nodded and bowed and said, "Your Majesty, we are all refugees. We are going to seek refuge. We don't have any money on us. Please let us live."
The bandit leader looked at them and said, "Damn it, I've never seen refugees who are all strong men. They must be deserters. They must have money on them. Let me arrest them and search them."
How dare Isotani Rensuke let him search him? He still had a military officer's certificate on him. Isotani Rensuke hinted at Tsutsumi Bukaki, and Tsutsumi Bugaki and the guards immediately took out their pistols and fired at the bandits randomly.
"Quick, run, the Chinese troops will definitely hear it." Seeing that the bandit was killed, Isotani Rensuke hurriedly urged him to run.
"Oh, Japanese, it seems that I, Liu Hong, caught a big fish today. No one is allowed to move. If anyone dares to move, I will kill him. Grandma, go and see how Erhuzi is doing."
What Isotani Rensuke couldn't believe was that these bandits actually had a large army with seven or eight guns pointed at him, making him afraid to take risks.
A bearded Shandong man came over, slapped him, and then touched his arms. Soon, a small book appeared in front of him.
"What is this? It's like a mess of ghost drawings?" Liu Hong turned over and over again and couldn't understand.
"Brother Hong, this is a Japanese officer. Look, it's a samurai sword." A bandit found a samurai sword from the package and handed it to Liu Hong.
Another bandit came over and said, "Three brothers are all broken."
Isotani Rensuke was unwilling to be captured. He immediately said, "Friend, please let us go. The Imperial Japanese Army will not treat you badly. If you are willing, I can make you the regiment commander or division commander."
Liu Hong laughed loudly and walked over. He slapped Rensuke Isoya and knocked out one of his teeth and said, "You dare to kill my brother and you want me to surrender? Damn, I, Liu Hong, will never be a traitor until my death."
Let’s go, escort them to the boss of the National Army to receive the award.”
——Linyi
"What? Isotani Rensuke was caught?" Tang Enbo said in disbelief.
"It's absolutely true. He was caught by a group of bandits. Fortunately, he met one of our people. If Sun Lianzhong and Zhang Zizhong found out, wouldn't our work be in vain?" Guan Zhenglin said excitedly.
Tang Enbo took a deep breath and said, "Okay, okay, well, the Japanese division commander cannot be captured by bandits. If we caught him ourselves, we should give the bandits some money. Don't be stingy, just three hundred oceans. Let's give it."
They got out of here, and then they found someone from our army and said that we had arrested him. They immediately sent him to Wuhan and showed him to the Chairman of the Standing Committee. The Chairman of the Standing Committee also knows this Isoya Rensuke."
Guan Zhenglin nodded, rolled his eyes, and said, "I think Camp Commander Tang is pretty good."
The so-called Battalion Commander Tang is actually Tang Enbo's cousin. Tang Enbo nodded and said, "Well, since he lives up to his reputation, we will not avoid getting married. That's it."
Liu Hong looked at the ten oceans in his hand and said in disbelief, "Boss, I caught seven or eight Japanese, is that all?"
The National Army officer said with an impatient expression, "That's all. If you want me, get out of here right now. If I keep saying it, is it nice to put a machine gun here?" He waved his rifle and started to chase people away.
Liu Hong wanted to say more, but was dragged out of the city by a few people next to him. Liu Hong looked at the money in his hand, thought about the sacrificed brothers, stamped his feet and said, "All this money will be given to Erhu and his family. Everyone said
Hit or not?"
Seeing this, the other people had nothing to say and nodded.
Liu Hong looked at Linyi City and said, "This National Army doesn't seem to be a good thing. The rewards and punishments are unknown. It doesn't seem to be a good man. If we leave, I don't believe it. The world is so big and there is no place for me, Liu Hong."
