There was no need for the Japanese army to find any evidence to prove that they were members of the Great Wall Regiment.
Soon, the "Beiping People's Daily", which has basically become the most anticipated newspaper for the people of Peiping, published a statement in which the seven surviving villagers of Mijiayu made their voices heard, taking responsibility for the attack on the Kwantung Army.
At the same time, they also stated that this has nothing to do with the government. This is a private act. They must avenge their families. The blood debt must be repaid with blood. Moreover, they will continue to fight their enemies to the end. The attack will not be caused by the death of the Japanese invaders.
Stop when you have counted enough.
The Northern Military Commission expressed its regrets in a telegram to the Kwantung Army Headquarters. At the same time, it was very vaguely stated that the behavior, life and death of these seven people had nothing to do with the Chinese government. If the Kwantung Army wanted revenge, it could have the same hatred as them.
There are grievances and grievances for revenge, but only for the attackers themselves. If civilians are used as revenge, once exposed, the Chinese government will not be able to suppress the boiling public resentment.
The entire Kwantung Army almost spat out a mouthful of blood.
Peasants, are you responsible for this? Are those on Bagaya Road fools for thinking that the 100,000 people in the Kwantung Army are fools? If Chinese farmers are so powerful, your whole village of more than 100 people can be killed by 50 people.
An infantry team came to massacre a village? Your Chinese army of hundreds of thousands could be beaten back steadily, and if you send tens of thousands of these peasants over, your Bagaya Road can fight to the other side of the Pacific Ocean!
However, there is really no way to complain about this grievance. All we can do is knock out our teeth and swallow it in our stomachs. Your mighty Kwantung Army now has only 40,000 people, but there is nothing you can do about a few militants? The Imperial Japanese Army is fighting
Where has the prestige of being the invincible fighter gone?
In fact, the situation is worse than Sakamoto Masaemon imagined.
When the furious Kwantung Army quickly mobilized its army and dispatched two regiments to search the two fronts of Xifengkou, threatening to give the Chinese Great Wall Regiment that attacked the Imperial Japanese Army some color, the two armies
At the same time, they were blown back by massive explosives buried on the mountain road.
As early as when Liu Lang left with Chen Yunfa and Mo Maomao, he expected that the beaten Kwantung Army would retaliate. The remaining special forces led by Ling Hong were on the left side of the mountain range outside the Xifengkou Pass where the Japanese troops were searching.
Nearly 200 kilograms of explosives were buried on the one and right roads.
Although the two hundred kilograms of explosives did not have the miraculous effect of burying 2,000 people of the puppet Fengtian Independent Brigade in one fell swoop like Lutonggou, an infantry squad was blown to pieces and hundreds of people were injured by falling rocks. The heavy casualties made Sakamoto furious.
Masaemon finally woke up a little.
The 40,000 men in his hands were naturally the most powerful combat group south of Rehe, but they were only limited to attacking the city. The 2,000 men of the Great Wall Regiment, who had no longer adhered to their mission, hid in the vast mountains.
It was a game of mouse and hide-and-seek with his tens of thousands of troops. His forty thousand troops who were not familiar with the conditions of the Great Wall and the mountains really didn't have much to do.
Unless he is given enough time to send a large number of elite soldiers to conduct reconnaissance in the mountains, find the main force of the Great Wall Regiment, and then send his troops to surround them, otherwise, his tens of thousands of troops will waste time searching aimlessly like headless flies in the mountains.
, and if the Great Wall Regiment takes advantage of it and kills the artillery unit like it did the Eighth Division, it will really make you cry.
Okamura Neiji had already thought of this, but since a certain Lieutenant General's division commander's nose was so angry that he didn't want to add fuel to the fire, after seeing nearly two hundred casualties of the Imperial Army, Sakamoto Masamoto
After Eemon finally regained consciousness, he proposed to leave Kifengkou and return to Rehe early.
Now not only the Chinese people in the newly occupied Jehol are unstable and have signs of rebellion, but the situation in the three Dongsan provinces that has just been stabilized is due to the main force of the Kwantung Army moving south, and the news of the disastrous defeat of the Eighth Division has spread, the war has begun again
All around.
In particular, Deng Wenbu, a subordinate of Ma Zhanshan of the Northeast Volunteer Army who had been chased by the Kwantung Army and fled to the mountains north of Rehe, heard that there was a tendency to come out again and again and was ready to make moves. These were not ordinary small groups of dozens or hundreds of Chinese rebels.
Once the regular army, which has at least 3,000 men, rushes out of the mountains and causes chaos, the losses will be extremely staggering.
Although he didn't like Okamura Neji very much, Sakamoto Masaemon had never faced the major general who was essentially the second-in-command of the Kwantung Army. After all, he, an army lieutenant general, had never met alone.
His Majesty the Emperor, but this man has had this honor.
Since Okamura Neiji has spoken like this, Sakamoto Masaemon has naturally given up. The annihilation of the Great Wall Regiment has become a luxury, so it is better to stay out of sight. Anyway, no matter how strong that regiment is, it is just a regiment.
At most, it is equivalent to the strength of a regiment. For the entire powerful Imperial Army, it is not enough to cause boils.
Recovering two infantry regiments that were blown up by sudden explosives and dared not enter the mountains at dusk. Under repeated urging from the Chinese side, a complete infantry brigade of the Sixth Division, two mixed infantry brigades, and several cavalry
, the artillery regiment and two puppet Manchuria divisions with a total of 38,000 troops left Xifengkou and marched towards Chengde City, the capital of Rehe Province.
But along the way, Sakamoto Masaemon's roar almost never stopped. Even someone as deep as Okamura Neji was so angry that he drew his sword several times.
What is extravagant? This is what it means on Bagaya Road.
If their rationality had not repeatedly reminded several Japanese lieutenant generals and major generals to calm down, they might have really wanted to turn their troops around and reoccupy Xifengkou for another battle with hundreds of thousands of Chinese troops.
It is true that the Chinese are so abominable.
To be precise, those audacious former Chinese armed attackers were so abominable.
On the way back when the Sixth Division withdrew its troops, those hateful Chinese were like gangrenous gangrenes, following them around, trying to catch the enemy with a cold blow.
Sometimes, they hid on a mountain ridge hundreds of meters away and fired a few cold shots, and specially selected people with high military ranks to shoot them. As the saying goes, a horse can run to death when looking up the mountain. Even though the distance is only a few hundred meters, when the aggressive Japanese army
When he pounced on him, the murderer had already fled and was hiding somewhere.
They even had time to clear away all traces of their escape, making it impossible for even the experienced elite soldiers to pursue them. In fact, they just left traces. If their strength was less than an infantry squadron, not many elite soldiers would dare to pursue them.
, the tragic situation of the 32nd Infantry Squadron with a casualty rate of 90% happened dozens of hours ago! Who dares not to take a warning?
Several times in a row, no matter how careful we were, as the saying goes, if you are not afraid of thieves, you are afraid of them missing you, but a Japanese colonel and two Japanese majors still lost their lives.
For this reason, Sakamoto Masaemon, who wanted to fight the attackers with his own sword, had to order that all junior officers and generals were no longer allowed to wear dark green woolen general uniforms, nor were they allowed to wear rank epaulettes, nor were they allowed to wear them during the march.
horse riding.
Those who ride horses are likely to become Tang Monk and become a piece of fat in the eyes of attackers hiding in the mountains.
As a result, the Japanese army returning north became the most integrated team of officers and soldiers in the history of the Japanese army. All generals and officers were like ordinary soldiers, measuring the land of China with their feet.
But a few hateful Chinese didn't just shoot cold shots, they actually carried that damn mortar with a range of up to 2,800 meters.
When you know that a gun may fire at a car loaded with artillery shells, do you know how much the artillery regiment soldiers feel?
Ever since a mortar shell exploded two meters away from a car full of bullets, whether it was a baggage soldier or an artilleryman, the Japanese army who had flammable and explosive materials around them had a white face.
The little foreign girl's face is even three points whiter.
Whenever there was a break, there would be absolutely no one around for hundreds of meters around the car loaded with artillery shells. After getting off the car, each car soldier would always praise Amaterasu for his blessings with a pale face before taking his lunch box to eat.
God knows when those hateful "blood-sucking mosquitoes" will come over with another cannon? Will they hit the artillery truck?
Yes, if the strong Japanese army is like a strong buffalo, Liu Lang and the three of them are at best a few blood-sucking mosquitoes. Although they are not fatal, they will pop out from time to time to suck a few mouthfuls of blood, which is very annoying.
