Within two hours, the county seat had been captured.
The Kwantung Army guarding the county seat could only retreat into the county seat and engage in street fighting.
"The Japanese really refused to give up easily. They actually didn't retreat!" Tang Shan stood next to Che Zhihuan, looking ahead with a telescope and spoke.
Che Zhihuan nodded, "So, I sent the remaining people out! I guess because we started fighting, the Japanese wanted to take this opportunity to beat us back to avenge last year."
Tangshan nodded, "It's a pity that they don't know how many troops we have waiting for them! Maybe, this time it will affect the whole body!"
"It's better this way! The Japanese are all attracted to us!" Che Zhihuan smiled, "In fact, I think if we can defeat the Japanese Kwantung Army, it will be considered an amazing achievement!"
"Hahaha!" Tang Shan smiled and shook his head, "Achieving something like this often requires the lives of many warriors. One general's achievement will lead to thousands of bones being withered."
Che Zhihuan nodded and thought of the attack and defense last year, "Now, when I close my eyes, I can always think of that rainy night last year, with the Japs from all directions, and then the brothers from all directions, with shouts of killing everywhere.
It was almost impossible to tell who was who. You slashed at me, and I slashed at you. Many people fell down, and blood flowed everywhere, and together with the rain, dyed the whole land red."
There was endless sadness in Che Zhihuan's tone. In that offensive and defensive battle, nearly 20,000 brothers were engaged in close combat with the Kwantung Army that kept rushing up. They fell one after another. Less than a thousand of them survived.
.
Then, there was a martyrs cemetery on the outskirts of Peiping. It was a small hillside. At that time, it was also full of crispness.
Only then did he know the true meaning of Qingshan having the honor to bury his loyal bones.
There is no pretentiousness of literati.
Some are just tragic, because they are the loyalty that the soldiers won at the cost of their lives.
Tangshan understood very well, because at that time, Zhou Weiguo and his men broke through the Japanese defenses and captured the positions in that area.
Likewise, there were corpses all over the place and blood all over the place. What was better for him was that when they attacked, the Japanese didn't have much defense!
"Aren't we avenging them?" Tangshan patted Che Zhihuan on the shoulder and stopped laughing, "I think their souls in heaven will be happy to see us avenge them, don't you think?
"
Che Zhihuan nodded, said nothing, and looked at the battle ahead.
Soldiers from the First and Second Regiments had already begun to rush into the county town.
He knew that there would be a more difficult battle next.
…
"Captain, we are still ten miles away from our destination, but according to our investigation, the Japanese are almost at Caojiazhai!" A soldier from the Independent Division looked at his regimental commander and said.
"Fourth Brother, the Japanese are here a bit fast!" A man wearing glasses said and glanced at the Fourth Regiment Commander next to him.
"Then we will capture Caojiazhai! Order, speed up!" The fourth regiment commander gave the order without any hesitation.
"yes!"
"Lao Si, will the Japanese be aware of such an aboveboard past?"
"What we need is for the Japanese to notice us! Do you think the Japanese will hide if they notice us?" the fourth regiment leader asked.
Several others shook their heads.
"That's right! In my estimation, the Japanese have dispatched so many troops now, not just to rescue x county!" the fourth regiment commander said.
"What do you mean? The Japanese want to fight back?"
"The sixth one is right!" The fourth regiment leader nodded. Che Zhihuan's several regiment leaders decided directly on the position of the first to sixth regiment leaders based on their age for the sake of convenience. "After all, last year,
The Japanese lost Chengde!"
When the word Chengde was mentioned, several people felt a little solemn in their hearts.
"Although the battle losses were almost the same, the Japs failed after all. The Kwantung Army is the Japs' elite force. You see, they can inflict such battle losses with us! They must be unwilling in their hearts! They want to win back the victory! To boost morale.
!”
"That's why, after one surge of strength, it will weaken again, and then it will be exhausted!" The man wearing glasses squinted his eyes, "The Japanese want to use this to boost morale and mobilize the morale of the army!"
"Lao Wu, don't read those docile things! It gives you a headache!"
"Okay, Lao Wu Lao Liu, the order has been given! Since the Japanese will arrive at Caojiazhai before us! Then, we will surround them! It can also achieve the blocking effect! If any of your soldiers loses control
, but don’t blame me for being ruthless in military law!”
"yes!"
…
"Your Excellency, Brigade Commander, the Caojiazhai is ahead! After passing the Caojiazhai, we will soon reach the place where the Matsumoto regiment was blocked!"
"Yoshi! Speed up the march!"
"Hi!"
"Report!"
"What's wrong?"
"Your Excellency, Brigade Commander, there are Chinese troops ten miles ahead!"
"Nani?" Miyawa Jiro narrowed his eyes, "The Chinese actually guessed our intention to use troops? Or maybe there is something going on in the headquarters!"
"Your Excellency, Brigade Commander, what should we do now?"
"Is there a detour I can take?" Miyawa Jiro frowned and asked.
"Hi! It's just that the detour requires an extra ten kilometers!"
"Ten kilometers!" Miyawa Jiro thought for a while, "Then, form a formation to meet the enemy! At the same time, send a message to the Matsumoto Regiment, asking them to get out of the battle as soon as possible! Move closer to us! Attack the Chinese who are blocking us from both sides.
!”
"Hi!"
For Miyawa Jiro, he knew very well that County
They also have this plan! Take down the ambush force of the Independent Division!
The king sees the king! Let’s see who has better cards and more powerful tricks!
Now, the troops in his hands are more than just a brigade! Although, he is a major general brigade commander!
He came out this time with almost two divisions of troops to seek victory! However, the troops of these two divisions were all units drawn from other divisions! In order to ensure that he
Commander Yamashita also took this into consideration!
Soon, Gong and Jiro led their troops to Caojiazhai.
This is a small village.
All the people inside had already fled.
Because this place will soon become the front line.
"Immediately, build a defense line! Wait for the Chinese to attack!"
"Hi!"
They can build simple fortifications very quickly, with more people and greater strength.
…
"Your Excellency, Wing Commander! Telegram!"
"read!"
"Order your troops to get out of the battle immediately and break out in the direction of Caojiazhai! Work with the main force to attack the Chinese troops from front to back!"
Colonel Matsumoto narrowed his eyes. This frontline commander was about to give up County x! But after thinking about it, he had been dragged here for almost two hours. County x might have been captured long ago! So, after thinking about it, he realized that he had been dragged here for almost two hours.
, their support is meaningless!
"Order, the first brigade is cut off, and the others are to retreat while fighting! Break out in the direction of Caojiazhai!"
