"Nani, what did you say?" the Japanese lieutenant general asked the soldier who reported the news in disbelief.
"Hi! Your Excellency, Commander, led two divisions to encounter the independent division in the southern suburbs of Tianjin!"
"Baga! Why don't you keep it!"
"I don't know, sir, division commander, can you support me?"
"Support? What kind of support? Hancun is the most important line of defense outside Tianjin. It was broken by the independent division in less than an hour. What kind of support do you want me to use? Are you going to die like that idiot Tada Shun? What's more, you didn't
Did you see the independent division's attack on the Cangzhou border? Do you really simply think that only that part of the independent division can be used?" The Japanese Lieutenant General was furious. He didn't understand why Tada Shun wanted to die.
You know, those are soldiers from two divisions! Although we don’t know who will win and who loses when we meet the independent division, but judging from the past record, we will lose more and win less!
"Does the Tianjin headquarters have any orders now?"
"Hey, the headquarters ordered that all armies hold their positions, Cangzhou cannot be lost!"
"Baga! What a bunch of great men. He said he won't lose it if he doesn't lose it? Yalu! How many people are left in our Yamamoto division!" The Japanese lieutenant general was so angry that he slashed the table with his sword.
When he got down, he really didn't know what the headquarters was doing.
"Report!"
"Come in!"
"Your Excellency, Division Commander, call the headquarters!"
"read!"
"Hey! Order Cangzhou and Hengshui to defend their positions! Order Baoding to mobilize troops to Tianjin! Order Peking, Tangshan, and Chengde to join forces in Tianjin! Immediately!"
After hearing this telegram, the Japanese Lieutenant General frowned and asked, "When was this telegram from?"
"Hi! It was just now!"
"Your Excellency, Division Commander, we will not have reinforcements at this time." A major general said, who is the chief of staff of the division. "I am afraid that the troops from Baoding, Peiping, Tangshan, and Chengde will all gather in Tianjin, and we will have no reinforcements."
!”
The Japanese Lieutenant General calmed down, "I'm afraid Tada Shun is really going to die. These arrangements mean that even if he dies, he will not let the independent division capture Tianjin."
"Hey, that's probably what it means."
"Then has he considered us? Does he really think we can defend it? Yalu! Is he going to watch so many warriors die?"
The major general was silent. At this time, he didn't know what to say, but he still spoke, "Your Excellency, division commander, no matter what, since we have the order, we must defend Cangzhou. Otherwise, we will not have to go to a military court in the future."
"Yalu!" the Japanese lieutenant general cursed secretly. The independent division attacked from the east of Cangzhou. He had already lost a regiment. The force he had now was not enough to defend it. "The Imperial Association Army is simply unreliable!"
"Hey, that's all we can do for now! With the addition of the Imperial Alliance Army, maybe we can delay it for a while longer."
"Order, all the troops in all places to hold their positions! Block the China Independent Division! No matter life or death!"
"Hi!"
After giving this order, the Japanese Lieutenant General seemed to have all his energy drained away and began to sit down in a daze. I am afraid this battle will not be easy to fight.
Tianjin southern suburbs
"Da da da!"
"boom!"
"Come on!"
"Follow me! Kill the Japanese!"
The sound of gunshots, cannons, and shouts of death were all mixed together.
The Japanese were relatively smart and ran into the woods. In the mountains and forests, tanks could not get up. This resulted in the tank brigade being temporarily unable to provide assistance to the infantry.
Zhou Weiguo smiled and said, in this case, the tanks should drive directly into the urban area of Tianjin. Tianjin's troops should be almost all out, which means that Tianjin no longer has any troops.
"Fengchen, let's go. Inform Wang Chao and ask him to lead the tank brigade into the city. You lead the guard regiment and we will take over Tianjin! At this moment, I'm afraid there are still a lot of big fish in Tianjin!"
"Yes!" Ye Fengchen nodded excitedly. As the leader of Zhou Weiguo's guard regiment, as long as Zhou Weiguo goes to the battlefield, they must be there. For Zhou Weiguo's safety, they generally will not charge into battle, but now, the first brigade and the second brigade
The three brigades were all chasing the Japanese, so naturally it was their turn for the guard regiment.
Tada Shun led a regiment of soldiers and retreated as they went. What he never expected was that he would be chased away by the soldiers of the Independent Division before he could hold on for even an hour. These soldiers of the Independent Division, under his
It seems that they are all elite soldiers, no weaker than the veterans under him.
He smiled bitterly and fired. He still had to delay as much time as possible, otherwise, his death would be meaningless. Watching the soldiers fall one by one, his heart was twisted. These soldiers were all veterans.
!
Before the war, no matter how nice he said it, there was a saying that when the army was defeated like a mountain, their morale was useless. Once someone started to retreat, the soldiers would lose their morale. If this continued, their death would be in vain.
"Warriors, you are the unique warriors of the Japanese Empire! Everyone shoulders the mission of the empire! It is a sacred honor! His Majesty the Emperor will be proud of you! The people of the empire will be proud of you! In today's battle, we
Maybe we will be defeated! But our Imperial Japanese Army is never afraid of death! What we have to do is to harvest as many lives as possible from the Chinese people! If we retreat and fight at the same time, the casualties of the Chinese people will increase! Even if we fight to the end
One person, I, Tada Shun, the commander-in-chief of the North China Front of the Imperial China Expeditionary Force, will stand by your side!" Tada Shun said loudly, using up all his strength, his whole face turned red because of this shouting,
Then, he took out a white cloth strip from his pocket. In the center of the cloth strip was a red sun. This was the flag of their Empire of Japan. He tied it on his forehead and said, "Be loyal to His Majesty the Emperor!"
Be loyal to the Empire! Long live!"
"Be loyal to His Majesty the Emperor! Be loyal to the Empire! Long live!"
"Be loyal to His Majesty the Emperor! Be loyal to the Empire! Long live!"
"Long live!"
The Japanese soldiers on the periphery could not hear Tada Shun's shouts, but the shouts came from the soldiers in the center, which naturally inspired them. Then, they saw the soldiers in the center carrying the national flag. All the Japanese soldiers
With a tacit understanding, they took out the small flag they had prepared and tied it on their foreheads. This time, there will be life or death!
If Zhou Weiguo were here, he would definitely applaud, and he wished that the Japanese army would not run away.
"Kill me!"
"Kill me!"
"Kill me!"
The attacks one after another reached the ears of the Japanese soldiers, and their morale stabilized and even began to rise. If they had not reached a desperate situation, Tada Shun would not have had this method to boost morale.
Face to face with the soldiers under Tada Shun were Xu Hu's second brigade.
Xu Hu narrowed his eyes, looked at the changes in the Japanese army, and smiled silently. At least, he hoped that the Japanese would rush out, save the soldiers of their brigade, and chase them into the mountains.
