cpa300_4; Tachibana Yoshio, surrounded by Ogasawara Goro and several combat staff officers, arrived at the battlefield where the cavalry had fought fiercely with the remnants of the temporary 79th Division.
By this time, the corpses of the Japanese had been collected and arranged in a row.
Tachibana Yoshio carried his saber and walked slowly past the feet of the Japanese corpse with a solemn expression, and finally stopped in front of the corpse of the cavalry captain Taro Sato.
Looking at Sato's pale face, Tachibana Yoshio sighed and said: "At this time yesterday, Sato-san was still talking with us about the supreme glory of conquering China, but now, Sato-san is lying here alone, unable to listen anymore.
As we speak, he will no longer be able to participate in the battle to conquer China, and his heroic spirit will die young, which is regrettable."
If Taro Sato were alive, Tachibana Yoshio would definitely scold him. What age is this? They actually use cavalry to charge from the front. Dragoons should have the consciousness of dragoons. Don't always think about the Warring States Period.
The glory of the samurai has now entered the era of hot weapons, and the cavalry is no longer the protagonist on the battlefield.
But now, Sato has died on the battlefield, and Tachibana Yoshio only has respect for him.
The Japanese have never been stingy with respect for the dead, especially those who died in battle.
Goro Ogasawara comforted him: "Captain of the detachment, Sato-san died for the Holy War of Greater East Asia. He died on the battlefield for the empire and for His Majesty the Emperor. He deserved his death. We should be happy for him and not sad. Sato-san
If he has a spirit in heaven, he wouldn't want us to feel sad for him."
"Hai." Tachibana Yoshio said after a heavy pause, "What Ogasawara-san said is absolutely true."
After a pause, Tachibana Yoshio continued: "However, Sato-san and the 54 imperial warriors cannot die in vain. We must use the heads of the remaining members of the temporary 79th Division to pay tribute to their heroic spirits."
"Hai." Ogasawara and all the staff members bowed their heads.
Tachibana Yoshio then turned around and told Ogasawara: "Create all the remains, bury the ashes, and bring them back to Japan."
"Hai." Ogasawara Goro turned around and waved fiercely, and the dozen or so Japanese who had been guarding both sides stepped forward one after another, carried the Japanese corpses lined up in a row into a large pit, and then poured water into the pit.
Gasoline, finally lit the torch and threw it into the pit, and more than fifty corpses stacked in piles burst into flames.
Tachibana Yoshio looked away, waved his hand and shouted: "Open the way!"
Half an hour later, Tachibana Yoshio and his entourage arrived at the bank of Qixing Lake again.
Goro Ogasawara knelt down and looked at the footprints left on the ground. He stood up and said to Tachibana Keio: "Captain of the detachment, this is where the China Army entered the swamp."
Tachibana Yoshio said solemnly: "The area of this swamp looks larger than what is shown on the map."
"Hai." Goro Ogasawara paused heavily and added, "The map of central Jiangsu drawn by the Super High School Course is indeed quite different from the actual terrain. However, our military strength is barely enough, and we can completely seal off the surrounding areas without sacrificing the strength."
Next, send another brigade deep into the swamp to pursue the remnants of the temporary 79th Division, but..."
Tachibana Yoshio looked back at Ogasawara and asked: "Just what?"
Ogasawara Goro said: "This way, it will not be possible to take care of the rest of the temporary 79th Division. If Ogasawara-san's judgment is true and the commander of the temporary 79th Division's remnant is indeed here, then it is nothing.
As long as the commander of the remnant of the temporary 79th Division is killed, the remaining Chinese soldiers will no longer be a concern. However, if Oluhara-san makes a mistake in judgment, the commander of the remnant of the temporary 79th Division has not fought against him.
That special forces soldier has just picked up sesame seeds and lost watermelon, and I'm afraid the commander won't be able to explain it."
His intuition told him that Ogawara Junsi's judgment should be correct. The Chinese special forces soldier he fought with should be the commander of the temporary remnant of the 79th Division. However, intuition is just intuition after all, and cannot be used to judge the battle situation.
According to this, if his intuition goes astray, the consequences will be disastrous.
From the Wuxi breakout battle, the Baoxing ambush battle and the Nantong battle, Tachibana Yoshio has been able to basically figure out the character of the commander of the temporary 79th Division. This person's consistent style is to take advantage of any advantage and take advantage of it if he suffers a loss.
We must take revenge, and we must take revenge immediately.
If someone else is a gentleman, it is never too late to take revenge in ten years.
This person is my revenge, from morning to night!
If what he ate this time was really just the bait released by the temporary 79th Division, then according to this person's character, he would have dealt a heavy blow to the Tachibana detachment. Tachibana Yoshio could not imagine that his opponent would
It could pose any threat to him, but he would never dare to take it lightly.
The entire Chongteng detachment was completely wiped out, wasn't it?
Even though the Tachibana detachment will not make the same mistake again, there is no guarantee that it will not suffer some small losses.
The Tachibana detachment suffered a loss, and his personal dismissal was a trivial matter. Because of the continuous defeats against the temporary 79th Division, it smeared the image of the Imperial Japanese Army, causing the entire empire and the entire Japanese royal family to become a laughing stock in the West. That's called
It's over, and the foundation of the entire Tachibana family will be destroyed.
Do we need to use all our strength to encircle and suppress the remnants that entered the swamp? Tachibana Yoshio was somewhat hesitant.
At this moment, a second lieutenant suddenly ran over panting, holding a saber in his hand.
"Detachment leader." Second Lieutenant Japanese ran to Tachibana Yoshio, raised the saber in his hand forward, then nodded heavily and said, "We found Lord Shigeto's saber."
"Nani, Chiaki Shigefuji's saber?" Tachibana Yoshio's expression condensed, he reached out to take the saber and pulled it out. Hearing a clear sound, the sharp saber was unsheathed. Ogasawara Goro and several combat staff members came over.
Looking down, I saw that the word "Chong Veng" was engraved on the blade near the handle.
It’s really Chiaki Shigeto’s saber.
One of the staff members whispered: "Shigeto Chiaki's saber? Is Shigeto Chiaki here too?"
Hearing this, the other combat staff members suddenly changed their expressions. Chiaki Shigeto was captured alive by the Chinese, which can be said to be a great shame for the Japanese army. If Chiaki Shigeto can be rescued, or Chiaki Shigeto can be killed in a chaotic battle, it will undoubtedly be possible.
Greatly restored the negative impact caused by Shigeto Chiaki to the Japanese army.
With a clang, Tachibana Yoshio sheathed his sword again, then turned around and shouted: "Order, the 1st Infantry Battalion immediately enters the swamp to pursue the remaining Chinese troops. The remaining infantry brigades, artillery teams and cavalry teams immediately enter the designated positions and completely blockade the entire area.
In Qixing Lake Swamp, not even a single mosquito is allowed to be released."
Ogasawara Goro's expression suddenly changed when he heard this, and he said urgently: "Captain, this matter is quite suspicious. It is said that a saber like Chiaki Shigefuji's should be a highly collectible trophy for the China Army, but now it is lost in
Here, this makes no logical sense at all. I think this is probably a conspiracy..."
"Ogasawara-san, you are worrying too much. I am not that naive, let alone stupid enough to believe that Chiaki Shigeto will be in this swamp through a saber." Tachibana Yoshio waved his hand and continued, "But, I
What I want to say is that this is not a conspiracy, but a letter of war, a letter of war against the Chinese people!"
"War letter?" Ogasawara Goro was confused after hearing this.
However, Tachibana Yoshio firmly believed in his judgment and continued: "This saber is the letter of war given to us by the commander of the temporary 79th Division. The commander of the temporary 79th Division is here, right here.
Over here.”
(Dividing line)
The veteran jumped down three times and descended from a tree with a height of more than six meters.
"Old Xu, the Japanese have sent troops into the swamp!" the veteran came to Xu Rui and said in a deep voice.
Xu Rui carefully put the dried boots into his backpack, crossed his feet, pulled out a thorn stuck in the sole of his foot, threw it into the fire, and asked casually: "How many people are there?"
?”
Leng Tiefeng also sat by the fire, warming himself while saying, "It's difficult to see clearly due to the obstruction of the woods, but at least there is an infantry brigade!"
Xu Rui nodded and said, "It's pretty much what I expected."
The commander of the Little Devil is obviously a powerful character. He neither underestimates the enemy nor is he intimidated by the glorious record of the Independent Battalion in annihilating the Chongteng detachment in Nantong. The miracle of the Battle of Nantong cannot be replicated. The strength of a brigade can be
Ensure sufficient mobility and ensure your own safety.
Leng Tiefeng added: "The Japs are coming very quickly. The vanguard squadron can get here in half an hour at most."
Xu Rui couldn't help scratching his head. It seemed that the little devil had really learned his lesson after suffering continuous losses. According to the devil's urine, the vanguard unit was usually an infantry squad, and it was just an infantry squad. If this was the case, Xu Rui could not help but scratch his head.
Rui didn't mind giving the Japanese a hard blow and wiped out all their elite squads.
In such a jungle terrain, it is not difficult to use an inverted triangle ambush formation to kill a small team of Japanese soldiers.
However, now, the little devil has sent an entire infantry squadron to serve as the vanguard, which is very difficult.
In the Nantong battlefield, Leng Tiefeng also used an inverted triangle ambush formation to annihilate a Japanese squadron, but that time they faced Taiwanese soldiers after all, and now they face Japanese soldiers. The combat effectiveness of the two is basically
They are not on the same level, and their tactical qualities are completely different. It is basically impossible to annihilate a squadron of Japanese soldiers.
What's more, the 2nd Company of the Independent Battalion doesn't have much ammunition reserves left.
Xu Rui asked each platoon to report their ammunition reserves, and found that the ammunition reserves for individual soldiers were less than a base, and the only three crooked-handled light machine guns were only half a base.
Leng Tiefeng said in a deep voice: "Old Xu, we don't have much ammunition, so we definitely can't fight head on."
"I know." Xu Rui nodded, "Then take the Japs in circles in the swamp. As long as they last one day, 1st Company, 3rd Company and 4th Company can successfully cross the blockade."
