Chapter 902: Niu Dao-kun, it's been a long time
It's strange that as the battle ended, although the rain was still falling, it gradually became lighter.
In fact, there were not many wounded people when cleaning the battlefield and treating the wounded. Most of them were injured by the commandos themselves. There were also a few wounded people from the Japanese army. They were all discovered when collecting the bodies and were not beaten to death.
According to Yao Heizi's thoughts, he helped them solve the pain completely, but the surrendered Japanese were watching from the side, enduring it for a while, and did not take action.
These four or five Japanese wounded soldiers were lucky enough to survive.
In an encounter, the commando also lost nearly 30 people, most of which were injured and only nine people were sacrificed, which can be said to be a rare victory.
"Old demon, from the map, there is a village in front of you. Look, it's almost dawn. Should we take the prisoners first, find a place to shelter from the rain, take a break, and then contact Shangfeng?"
"Okay, Cao Xingyang, it's better to lead the vanguard squad to explore the way!" Yao Heizi was good at following the flow.
"yes!"
The commando pressed over a dozen Japanese prisoners such as Niujima, and asked them to carry their wounded men and walk on the muddy road to continue moving forward.
After walking for about twenty minutes, I saw a farmhouse, not far from the roadside, with more than twenty houses sparsely located.
"Go, go."
This was another pursuit, another battle. Everyone's clothes were soaked, and the dry food and other items that were prone to moisture were almost soaked in water.
"Old demon instructor, this village is called Xiaodang Village, and there are less than thirty families. We just went to the village chief's house. He heard that we are the Guojun Army and the Japanese fighters, and were willing to accept us and let us go to the primary school in the village to rest first."
"Very good!"
It is said to be a primary school, but it is actually three or four blue brick houses, the best building in the village, and there is also an open playground. It is probably also a rice field that is used with the villagers, and there are many wheat-grass piles around it.
Yao Heizi ordered and used money to buy ginger and brown sugar from the village chief and villagers, and collected almost all the ginger and brown sugar in the village.
Boil water and ginger tea, and chased after it all night, and it was raining for most of the night. Although it was not cold, wet clothes on our body. When the cool breeze blew, it was most likely to get sick. I would definitely drink the steaming hot ginger tea at night to drive away the cold and moisture.
"Where do you come from such a heavy rain?" The old village chief enthusiastically took out some food and invited Yao Heizi and the others to eat.
"Guide!"
"Guide, wasn't that the Japanese occupied that place?"
"Dad still knows this?"
"I heard that although the news in our village is closed, people often bring news from outside." said the old village chief.
"Oh, who's the news?"
"This is a lot. Some wild men, small vendors selling salt, often move in several villages near us."
"So that's how it is." Yao Heizi lowered his vigilance and explained with a smile, "Dad, the Japanese have been beaten away by us, and now Guide is still the world of our Chinese."
"Is that true? God blessed me, the ancestors' country cannot be occupied by the Japanese!"
"I've studied after listening to my dad's tone?"
"Well, I went to a private school for a few days in my early years, but later my family had no money, so I stopped hiding, which made the chief laugh." The old village chief said with a cane and a shy smile.
"Just asking my dad..."
"Old demon, after the radio station is set up, should we report our situation to the Corps Command immediately?" Dong Yang came in from outside and whispered.
"No, please ask the military captain first. Niudaoman is one of the culprits of the Nanjing Massacre. We cannot hand it over easily." Yao Heizi became more scrupulous.
"I understand, it's almost five o'clock now. The military captain's habit is to get up at six o'clock. Should I wait?"
"You can't wait. The military throne will definitely not be able to sleep tonight. I'm waiting for our news and send it out immediately." Yao Heizi shook his head, "It doesn't seem that those Japanese prisoners don't want to be officers of the 14th Division. They should be subordinates of Niujima Manta. They can interrogate separately first."
"OK."
Leng Feng didn't sleep all night. In fact, he couldn't sleep even if he wanted to. Whether it was Yao Heizi's commando or a reinforcement regiment sent by Luo Yufeng, he was very worried.
This pursues enemies and marches in heavy rain, and is also in an unfamiliar environment, full of unpredictable dangers.
The dangers of the natural environment are sometimes far more terrifying than their own enemies.
"Military seat, military seat..." Because there were still many things to deal with the next day, Leng Feng had to take time to find time to rest. When there was no telegram on the front line, he asked someone to find him a woven recliner, and he lay on it and stared for a while, and immediately woke him up if there was something.
"Why, is there any news from Yao Heizi?" Leng Feng opened his eyes and slightly pushed away the military blanket on his body.
"Military captain, Yao Heizi telegram, they caught a big fish, the commander of the Major General Brigade of the 6th Division of the Japanese Army." Guo Weiquan smiled into a flower with a telegram.
"Is that right?" Leng Feng heard this. This was a surprise. Niudao was one of the culprits of the Nanjing Massacre. Although the Sixth Division had not been in Nanjing for a long time, they had killed many people. Niudao was even covered in blood of the people of Nanjing and the Chinese people.
It is simply awesome to catch such an executioner!
"But he didn't admit that he was Niujima Manta. When he caught him, he heard that he was Kenji Doihara." Guo Weiquan smiled.
"I'm a man of Niujima is really sacrificed and dedicated. How did he reveal his identity?" Leng Feng smiled.
"Yao Heizi has never seen Niujima Man, but the New 38th Division and Niujima Man are old opponents. This time, there are people from the New 38th Reconnaissance Battalion in the commando. They have all seen Niujima Man, so they recognized this guy at a glance." Guo Weiquan explained with a smile.
"Okay, didn't you expose him on the spot?"
"No, Yao Heizi did not expose him on the spot, nor did he report to Chief Xue Boling immediately. Call us first and ask what to do?"
"Nujima Man pretended to be Kenji Doihara, and he must have his purpose. He was nothing more than misleading us and allowing the real Kenji Doihara to escape, but what he probably didn't expect was that his identity would be discovered on the spot. In this way, Kenji Doihara must have been among the Japanese army that broke through the front." Leng Feng analyzed and judged.
"pretty close."
"Yao Heizi suggested taking Niudao back to Xinxiang and not handing it over to the First Corps Headquarters or the First War Zone." Guo Weiquan said.
"This is not good. They are assisting the First Corps in combat. Whether they win or lose, the captives they captured should belong to the First Corps. The credit is theirs, and the people still have to be handed over." Leng Feng thought about it carefully, and this was very inappropriate.
"Martial seat, this is Niushima Manta."
"He is a royal noble in Japan, and it is unruly for us to do so. If it were someone else, I would not be afraid of others saying that I am domineering, but General Xue Boling is a general I admire more, so we cannot do this." Leng Feng decided, "Send a telegram to Yao Heizi and ask him to report this matter to General Xue Boling truthfully. All Japanese prisoners will be handed over to the relevant departments of the First Corps."
"yes!"
Xiaodang Village.
"The military commander has called back. Let us report it to General Xue Boling truthfully and hand over the prisoners of war to the First Corps."
"How is this possible?" Yao Heizi grabbed the telegram in disbelief and said in surprise.
"Heizi, the military throne's decision should be his reason. We are now remitting to cooperate with others in the battle. Although we arrested the people, we will definitely not be able to escape the credit, but the prisoners of war will eventually be handed over to others." Dong Yang walked over and patted Yao Heizi's shoulder gently and said.
"I can't figure it out!"
"You know the temper of the military captain. What he decided will not change. It is not worth it if it is just a Niudao. Just because of the sin he committed in Nanjing, no one dares to take the blame for the world. Don't worry." Dong Yang said.
"Old, I want to..."
"If you don't want to violate the military law, don't be stupid. Military commanders will have clear rewards and punishments. If you dare to touch this bottom line, no one can save you!" Dong Yang said sternly. Although Yao Heizi is the captain, Dong Yang's military rank and prestige are higher than him, but Dong Yang is not good at planning and commanding. Otherwise, with Dong Yang's military rank and military achievements, he would be more than enough to be a regiment commander and a brigade commander.
"Old, I just say it casually, don't be angry."
"You must promise me that you can hand over the living Aoshima Man."
"Okay, I promise, I will not be full of thoughts about Niudao, okay?" Yao Heizi promised Dong Yang repeatedly.
"I hope you do what you say and I will send a telegram to Chief Xue."
The rain finally stopped at dawn, and everyone in front of the commander-in-chief of the commander-in-chief of the East Henan First Corps couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief.
If the rain continues, it will have a great impact on the next strategic step.
Xue Boling was like Leng Feng. This night almost didn't close his eyes. Guide recovered, but what should he do next? He didn't understand anything.
The heavy rain interrupted communication and could only wait for news.
"Sir Xue, great news!"
"Where does the joy come from?" Xue Boling opened his eyes in surprise and asked.
"Captain Yao and his team wiped out the Japanese army's remaining troops who broke out from the 166th Division's position, captured the commander of the 36th Brigade of the 6th Division, Major General Niujima Man, and more than ten officers accompanying him."
"Niujima Man, isn't Niujima Man who is known as the 'tactic master' in the Japanese military?" Xue Boling was shocked.
"It was this Niujima Manta. This guy and Kenji Doihara even changed his clothes. When he was captured, he claimed that he was Kenji Doihara, but he was still recognized by our people."
"Recognized?"
"The officers and soldiers of the New 38th Division's Reconnaissance Battalion in the commando team. They had fought with Niujima Man in Yuxikou and Uraguchi. They met with each other and thus recognized them."
"Haha, this is really smart but is just mistaken for being clever. This Niushima Man must have wanted to disguise himself as Kenji Doihara and deliberately mislead us and let us relax our pursuit of the real Kenji Doihara. His trick is too clumsy." Xue Boling smiled and laughed. It was a big gain if he didn't catch Kenji Doihara and Kenji Niushima Man.
At least he can give an explanation in front of Chiang Kai-shek that even if the battle of Guide was not too perfect, it would be at least not so embarrassing.
The honor of capturing the Japanese major general alive is to capture the Japanese army alive, except for the one from northern Henan, who is the only one in the country? Xue Boling.
"Captain Xue, the commando team will rest in Xiaodang Village and will escort the prisoners back to Return to De in the afternoon."
"Okay, after you come back, Xue must reward them!" Xue Boling said heavily.
Chapter completed!
