Shijiakeng is the only way to return to Meizhen from Huilonggou.
Kawaguchi Heiji judged that if the Dameishan brigade succeeded in attacking the army in Huilonggou and took the supplies and chose to take the main road back to Meizhen, it would definitely pass through Shijiakeng. Therefore, Kawaguchi Heiji personally led an infantry brigade and a cavalry squadron.
We left Shijiakeng overnight, preparing to intercept the brigade on the way.
As for what to do if the brigade changes to a smaller path, it is not something Kawaguchi Heiji should consider. It should be Muto Akira's concern. He only needs to do his own thing well.
At midnight, Kawaguchi Heiji's troops successfully arrived at Shijiakeng.
After arriving in Shijiakeng, Kawaguchi Heiji immediately issued a brutal sweep order and implemented an inhumane massacre policy in Shijiakeng village. More than a hundred people in Shijiakeng village were killed, including infant babies.
Not letting go, after massacring the village, Kawaguchi Heiji ordered the construction of barricades at the entrance of the village.
However, until dawn, Kawaguchi Heiji did not wait for the Dameishan Brigade, but unexpectedly waited for the special force led by Ogahara Junsi.
"Ogahara-san?" Kawaguchi Heiji was very surprised by the arrival of Ogahara Shunsi.
Ogawara Junsi didn't have much time to explain to Kawaguchi Heiji, and asked directly: "Kawaguchi-san, did Nan Batian's plainclothes team come with you?"
"Of course." Kawaguchi Heiji responded taking the lead.
For such a big combat operation, Kawaguchi Heiji will of course lead Nan Batian's plainclothes team. The plainclothes team has just formed an army. Although its combat effectiveness is not worth mentioning, it is nothing. Nan Batian and these people are local snakes in Damei Mountain. When it comes to the most critical point
Sometimes, for example, when you want them to lead the way, it is still useful.
"Yo Xi." Ogawara Junsi said happily, "Kawaguchi-san, I want to use the plainclothes team, and I hope you can agree."
"You want to borrow the plainclothes team?" Kawaguchi Heiji was stunned for a moment, then he reacted and said, "Okahara-san, are you worried that the Dameishan team will not take the main road when they return?"
Xiaoluyuan Junsi said: "Yes, I doubt they will take the trails. Damei Mountain is steep and the terrain is complex. Nan Batian and the others were once bandits in Damei Mountain. They should know the trails in the mountains better than others. So, I
I hope you can lend me your plainclothes team to serve as our guides."
Kawaguchi Heiji said: "I don't mind lending you the plainclothes team, but with just a dozen or so of you holding the team, even if you find a small road, I'm afraid you won't be able to block the Dameishan Brigade, right?"
"This is exactly what I'm worried about." Oluhara Junsi sighed.
For the dozen special forces soldiers he trained, Oluhara Junsi was still very confident.
But the problem is that no matter how powerful they are, they only have a dozen or so people, while the Dameishan Brigade has nearly a thousand people. What's more, Xu Rui also has an extremely elite special operations team under his command, so Xiaolu Yuan Junsi is really
He didn't think that his special operations team would be able to turn the tide and keep the Dameishan brigade and the accompanying civilian team carrying supplies out of Dameishan.
Kawaguchi Heiji frowned and asked: "So, Muto-san didn't make an emergency plan for the team to change to a smaller road?"
Ogahara Junsi didn't know how to answer Kawaguchi Heiji. He, Ogahara Junsi, actually had to bear a lot of responsibility for the flaw in the planning of this operation. If it weren't for the fact that he was stuck in a mindset and couldn't get out of it, he ended up in the military ranks.
There was a fatal loophole in the security of the company, and the Dameishan Brigade had no chance to steal the supplies.
The Dameishan brigade cannot steal supplies, so there will be no question of whether to take the main road or the small road.
The reason why Oluhara Junsi temporarily changed his mind and came to Shijiakeng instead of Huilonggou was that he hoped to do his best to remedy the situation. His only chance to remedy the situation now was to block the path and wait for the Hattori Brigade and others
The Machida brigade caught up and formed an encirclement, and finally recaptured the stolen supplies.
Seeing that Ogahara Shunsi did not answer, Kawaguchi Heiji stopped asking and proactively suggested: "In this case, I will assign the troops of two squadrons to you and we will act with you."
"Kawaguchi-san, that's really great." Ogawara Junsi suddenly became energetic after hearing this.
But I was very happy. Xiaoluyuan Junsi said again: "But if two squadrons are taken away at once, will it cause a shortage of troops in Shijiakeng? If the Dameishan Brigade takes the main road, then it will be too late for us to return reinforcements.
Already."
"I'm fine here." Kawaguchi Heiji said, "I will transfer the 2nd Infantry Battalion that is monitoring Mei Town."
"If that's the case, thank you very much." Ogawara Junsi immediately bowed to Kawaguchi Heiji.
"Ogawara-san is too polite." Kawaguchi Heiji waved his hand and was about to call Nan Batian over, but his adjutant hurried over and paused to report, "Captain, there is an urgent call from the headquarters!"
"Well, an urgent telegram from the headquarters?" Kawaguchi Heiji glanced at Okahara and reached out to take the telegram.
Xiaoluyuan Junsi also felt his heart sinking. Could it be that something happened over there in Huilonggou?
Kawaguchi Heiji hurriedly read the telegram at a glance, and his face suddenly darkened.
Oluhara Junsi's heart skipped a beat, and he took a step forward and asked, "Kawaguchi-san, I don't know..."
Kawaguchi Heiji interrupted Oluhara with a wave of his hand, and then said: "Oluhara-san, you don't have to find a trail. There was an accident at Huilonggou. All the supplies were burned. The Hattori brigade returning from Fengyang Town to assist
We are all in pieces. General Tsukada, the chief of staff of the front army, orders you to return to Pukou immediately and wait for the result of the punishment."
"Nani?" Oluhara Junsi was shocked when he heard this.
(Dividing line)
"Baga, Baga Yalu, Baga Yalu, Baga Yalu..."
Waves of roars could be heard from Shan Shan Yuan's office. The dozen or so combat staff members guarding the door were all silent. One combat staff member had a telegram in his hand, but he didn't dare to step forward and knock on the door.
, Your Excellency, Commander, is in a state of rage. If you knock on the door at this time, how can you reap the good fruit from him?
"Bang!"
"Crack!"
There was another sound from inside, like something falling to the ground and then breaking.
Even with your toes, you can guess that it was the commander who threw a certain porcelain ornament on the bookcase to the ground, and then broke it into pieces. One of the combat staff who knew the value of antiques suddenly felt heartbroken, because he knew
, the pieces of porcelain placed on Shan Shanyuan’s bookcase are all blue and white porcelain treasures from the Ming Dynasty.
When Tsukada walked into the war room, he happened to see a dozen staff members gathering outside Shanshan Yuan's office and looking around. Tsukada became angry at that time and scolded him sternly: "Everyone is very idle, right? It's nothing.
It’s done, right? Go back and do the job at hand well. If you don’t do your job well, it’ll be up to you to see how I deal with you later.”
More than a dozen combat staff officers immediately dispersed, except for the staff officer holding the telegram in his hand.
"Chief of Staff." The staff officer took a step forward, nodded to Tsukada and said, "This is a telegram just arrived from the Ogisu Division, or a request for supplies from us. You see..."
"Give it to me." Tsukada took the telegram, and the staff officer hurried away as if he had been granted amnesty.
Tsukada took the telegram and gently opened the door of Shan Shanyuan's office, just in time to see Shan Shanyuan pick up another Xuande blue and white porcelain from the bookcase and prepare to throw it to the ground.
"Your Excellency, Commander." Tsukada bowed his head heavily.
The Xuande blue and white porcelain that Shan Shan Yuan was holding in the air could no longer fall down. After being frozen for a moment, Shan Shan Yuan finally put the blue and white porcelain back on the bookcase angrily.
"What's the matter?" Shan Shanyuan asked angrily.
Regarding Tsukada Gong, Sugisu Yuan didn't like it.
Few people know that the reason why Sugisu Yuan dislikes Tsukada Gong is entirely because Tsukada Gong has a nobler background than him. Tsukada Gong's original name is Tsukada Rokuemon. Just by looking at this name, you can tell that his ancestors once
It's the Emperor's Guard, because the name Eemon is not something that just anyone can give him.
Of course, Tsukada Gong is tall and straight, and looks very talented. This is one of the reasons why Shan Shan Yuan dislikes him. Because Shan Shan Yuan has a stupid face, when he was studying at Army University in his early years, he was nicknamed Fool Yuan by his classmates.
, and it is precisely because of this that Shanshan Yuan can't stand Ogahara Junsi, because Ogahara Junsi's background is more noble than Tsukada Gong, and Ogahara Junsi's appearance is also more noble than Tsukada Gong.
A show of talent.
However, even if he can't stand it, Shanshan Yuan also knows very well that at this time, he can only rely on Tsukada attack, because he has completely lost confidence in Muto Akira. Muto Akira's performance in Ukou not only disappointed him
, which made him feel extremely passive. Now he doesn't even know how to explain to the base camp.
"Your Excellency, Commander." Tsukada nodded solemnly and said, "The Ogisu Division just called and is asking for supplies again."
Shan Shan Yuan's eyebrows immediately furrowed again. If this unexpected situation had not occurred, 3,000 tons of military supplies would have arrived at Fengtori Station. However, now, 3,000 tons of supplies have been taken to the Dameishan Brigade.
After a fire broke out, the 9th and 13th Divisions, which were stalemate along the Huaihe River, were in a bad situation.
Come on, without the support of military supplies, there is no way to launch an offensive.
Retreat, once they are pushed back, it will be a rout!
After a long time, Shan Shanyuan said: "Telegram to the 9th and 13th Divisions, saying that the Jinpu Railway was damaged by the China Army, and engineers are repairing it day and night. As soon as the railway is repaired, the supplies can be shipped immediately. Can you please
They... hold on for at least half a month no matter what."
Tsukada attacked: "Your Excellency, Commander, with the material reserves of the 9th and 13th Divisions, I'm afraid it will be difficult to hold on for another week."
Shan Shan Yuan's eyebrows furrowed even more tightly. Although Tsukada Sang's words were very harsh, they were telling the truth. At that moment, Shan Shan Yuan let out a long sigh and said: "Tsukada Sang, we will return to the battle of Longgou immediately.
Make a report on the gains and losses and submit it to the base camp, requesting the base camp to transfer supplies again, and at the same time collect supplies for the garrison in Shanghai and Nanjing, and urgently airdrop them to the front line of the Huaihe River."
Tsukada Gongya sighed: "This is the only thing we can do now."
