Chapter 238: Severely inflicting the Fifth Division (2)

"No, no, no, no! All of us are broken. These damn Chinese people, they actually..." After Suzuki Shigekai chased Machikou, a small team leader who had gone to the town to shrink first ran out with a pale face and reported.

"Baga!" The poor squad leader's immediate superior saw his subordinates so panic, especially the brigade commander who had already gotten out of the armored command vehicle, had already frowned, and hurried forward and slapped him twice, scolding him sternly.

Since the Chinese army raided Changping from the south of the city and blocked the reinforcements of the Ninth Brigade on the north bank of the Beisha River, it shows that the Chinese army was completely carefully planned, and the entire defender at Machikou was already as expected by Shigekazu Suzuki.

However, when they entered this town where there were no more people, everyone's face turned pale. The soldiers of the squad who had entered the town to search before all bowed their heads and observed silently at the pyramid of people's heads, or they didn't dare to look at them at all. A few of the poor psychological qualities even covered their mouths and ran to the side to vomit. No one came forward to scold them. The soldiers stationed here all had their heads cut off, which not only made people feel like their stomach contraction, but more fear.

Many Japanese people who have cultivated the spirit of Bushido since childhood and have been loyal to His Majesty the Emperor and have the highest honor are not afraid of death. But they are afraid of being cut off their heads. Because according to Japanese customs, they can enter heaven or be reincarnated after death. But if they have no heads, they will go to hell and cannot be reincarnated! Looking at the heads of so many of their compatriots, they all have a creepy feeling.

"Bageyalu! Damn Chinese, I must find them and kill them all." Suzuki Shigeyao let out a hysterical roar.

The poor team leader was furious when he saw the brigade commander, worried that he would slap him later, so he hurried over and pulled out the sign from the pyramid of the head.

As soon as the sign was pulled down, a loud "boom" sound was heard. A red light flashed, and the thunder hidden in the pyramid of the human head exploded. The team leader suddenly flew into the air and was instantly cut into pieces by the splattered shrapnel. At the moment of the explosion, more than a thousand bullets buried inside were detonated and followed the shrapnel of the grenade, bloody rain and flesh of the human head splashed everywhere.

At the moment of the explosion, Suzuki Shigekai, who was already trembling with anger, forgot to dodge, and only saw a fireball bursting from the middle of the pyramid of the head in his eyes. Fortunately, Shigeji Ono, beside him, reacted quickly and pounced on Suzuki Shigekai at the moment of the explosion, and he pressed him down heavily.

However, the Japanese who had entered the town to search for a small team of Japanese soldiers who were watching silence around the pyramid of manheads were not so lucky. They were basically affected by splashing bullets and shrapnel. After the explosion, there were mixed blood and red and white mixtures, fragments of limbs, and wails from the injured soldiers.

One meter sixty-nine, among the Japanese, Shinoji Ono, who is very tall and handsome, pressed Shigeyasu Suzuki, making him unable to move below and unable to breathe. Finally, the lucky uninjured entourage beside him pulled Shinoji Ono away and helped Lieutenant General Suzuki up, he found that Colonel Ono's head was broken and he was unconscious.

The soldiers were damaged and the supplies were destroyed. Now I didn't even see the shadow of the Chinese army. I almost died, and even my most capable subordinates were injured. I almost made Shigeyasu Suzuki goblin.

At this time, the first brigade of the 11th Regiment of the 9th Brigade, who had just crossed the Beisha River and pursued all the way, also rushed to Machikou. The explosion of the thunder just now made the officers and soldiers of the First brigade who were trembling in the subzero temperature were startled and thought that the Chinese army was ambushed in the town. Fortunately, the captain of the First brigade, Major Ichiro Yamaguchi was more cautious, so this did not cause accidental injuries to the two troops.

Looking at the belated reinforcements, Shigekatsu Suzuki was dissatisfied with ten thousand dissatisfaction. Because the other party was the 5th Division, Shigekatsu Suzuki did not attack Ichiro Yamaguchi. The two troops merged into one place and pursued Aries along the direction of the Chinese army's retreat.

When the sky was bright, the pursuit troops found five cars burned down at the foot of the Arieskou mountain, and found nothing. Going forward, not only would you enter the mountain area, but the control of the Chinese army was ahead. Shigekazu Suzuki was angry no matter how angry it was. With just one brigade in his hand, the infantry of the two squadrons and the strength of the two squadrons of the chariot brigade, the strength of the two squadrons did not dare to go deep rashly. What's more, the fuel of the chariot brigade was insufficient.

"Baga! Waste! Farmer!" After holding the telegram from Suzuki Shigekaku, Kiyoshi, he shouted in anger: "Now the base camp ordered our North China garrison troops to quickly repel the Chinese defenders on the Pingsui Line, eliminate the threat from the Manchukuo border and even the flanks of our army, and to open up the Jinpu Road, Pinghan Line, and occupy Wuhan and Central China Front Army to successfully meet."

No wonder Xiangyue Qingsi was angry. He had received news that the base camp planned to establish the North China Front Army, and he was also one of the candidates for the commander. If such a thing happened at this critical moment, he, the commander, might be ruined.

In the office of the Katsuki Kyotori Division, there were also division commanders of several divisions under the garrison army who were ordered to attend the emergency meeting. After circulating the telegram from Suzuki Shigekai, they each responded one by one. The commander of the First Division, Kyosuke Kawamura and Fumisaburo Kawakishima, the commander of the 20th Division, and the commander of the garrison army, had two different voices after occupying Pingjin. One was to go directly along the Jinpu Road and the Pinghan Line south. The other was that the Kanto Army, for its own interests, advocated the opening of the Pingsui Line, occupying the four provinces of Cha, Sui, Jin, and Shaanxi, and connecting the Manchuria and Mongolian and Rehe River that the Kanto Army currently occupied, and continued to expand the influence of the Kanto Army in China.

Kyosuke Kawamura, Fumisaburo Kawakishi, and others, including Kiyoji Kazuki, obviously prefer the former. However, due to the influence of the Kanto Army in the base camp, the base camp finally approved the second opinion and launched the Pingsui Line first. Former Chief of Staff of the Kanto Army and the current commander of the Fifth Division, Seishiro Sakagaki frowned, excluding the fact that Suzuki Shigeyao was his friend. Now, the current Chief of Staff of the Kanto Army, Tojo Hideki has led four independent mixed brigades of the Kanto Army to gather in the Chabei area and attack the Pingsui Line in two routes. The line from the South Exit to Juyongguan has been unable to be defeated for a long time, which will inevitably affect the entire Pingsui Line war.

"Commander, the strength of the Chinese Central Army is far higher than the local troops similar to the 29th Army that we had fought with before. The opponents of the 11th Brigade are the elite 72nd Army of the Chinese Central Army. The key to opening up the Pingsui Line is to eliminate the 72nd Army of the Chinese Army, occupy Nankou, Juyongguan and Zhangjiakou, and open the door for the army to march into Shanxi and Shaanxi provinces. I think that we should increase our investment in the direction of the Nankou and open the gap in the entire Pingsui Line at the Nankou and Juyongguan line as soon as possible." Sakagaki Seishiro pondered for a moment and spoke to Kazuki Kiyoshi.

Kiyoshi Kazuki can curse Shigeyasuki, but he has to carefully consider the opinions of Seishiro Sakagaki, who has similar qualifications and outstanding abilities, and has almost become the Minister of the Army. He also knew that the Imperial Manchu-Mongolian strategy and the attack on the Peaceui line at this time were all from the hands of the former Chief of Staff of the Kanto Army and the current Chief of Staff of the Kanto Army Tojo Hideki. Since the base camp has set its offensive policy, he dare not disobey at all. Nodded and said, "What Mr. Sakagaki said is that our main task at present is to open up the Pingsui Line and eliminate the threat of our army's flanks. I think it is your Fifth Division and the 11th Brigade, and you Sakagaki Jun are unified in command, occupy the Nankou as soon as possible, and open the passage for the army to attack Zhangjiakou. In addition, the 20th Division entered the Mentougou Line to protect the flanks of the Westward Corps and prevent the Chinese Baoding defenders from going north to reinforce."

“Hayi.”

The surprise attack on Changping was successful. In addition to the Japanese attack in Deshengkou, the Mixed 11th Brigade that attacked Nankou temporarily retreated, which finally made Chen Xiuwen and Sun Yuanliang, who was far away, breathed a sigh of relief. Sun Yuanliang even sent a passionate telegram, praising Chen Xiuwen fiercely, and expressed his personal report to the Supreme Command that the first victory in the North China battlefield achieved by the Honorary First Division. Fan Changjiang, who was forcibly stayed in Juyong Pass by Chen Xiuwen, and his assistant Zeng Jianing couldn't wait to come to Nankou for an interview.

Although his plan was successfully implemented, he still felt heartbroken by more than 200 casualties in his ace force. In Shen Xiuwen's mind, a special agent battalion was worth at least two regiments. After visiting the injured brother from the temporary ambulance station in the division hospital in the south entrance, Chen Xiuwen returned to the command center that was half blown by a Japanese plane.

Peng Hui and Wang Yonggui, the commander of the former Changping Security Corps who had turned against him before the war, had already been waiting at the command center. Seeing Chen Xiuwen coming in, Wang Yonggui seemed to be intimidated and trepidated. He did not expect that the world-famous anti-Japanese hero, the commander of the Honorary First Division, was so young.

Although Wang Yonggui had been a traitor, Chen Xiuwen did not underestimate him. In order to preserve his strength, he surrendered to the Japanese army, and chose the opportunity to fight back. Compared with those who had lost their troops and lost their generals, they ran away when they saw the Japanese.

He returned a military salute to Wang Yonggui, who was hanging his arms. Chen Xiuwen smiled and said, "Captain Wang is able to return to the road, and he has helped us so much this time. On behalf of all the officers and soldiers of the Honorary First Division, I would like to thank you."

"Where, where! General Chen is so serious. Wang is a sinner. General Chen is generous and tolerant and righteous to save my brother. Wang is already very grateful. He must never accept General Chen's word "Thank you." Wang Yonggui waved his hand quickly.

Although Wang Yonggui was very nervous in front of Shen Xiuwen, the officers and soldiers of the security regiment who had retreated to the south entrance were not discriminated against, and dozens of injured brothers were treated equally. Wang Yonggui breathed a sigh of relief and was also very grateful to Chen Xiuwen.

After a few polite greetings, Chen Xiuwen continued, "I don't know what Captain Wang has plans for the future? I have prepared some mere gifts, which can be regarded as expressing my gratitude to Captain Wang and the brothers of the Security Group." After that, Chen Xiuwen signaled that Chen Yi and several other guards would come in and place it in front of Wang Yonggui.

"This time Captain Wang also lost a lot of brothers, and part of it can be regarded as a settlement fee for the brothers."

Wang Yonggui looked at the white ocean in front of him, looked at Chen Xiuwen, and then looked at Peng Hui's look of wanting to speak but stopping.

Peng Hui and Wang Yonggui were also familiar with each other along the way, especially when blocking the engineer brigade that was reinforced by the Japanese, the security regiment counterattacked, so they did not treat them as prisoners. They also knew Wang Yonggui's thoughts, so they smiled and said, "Teacher, Commander Wang wants to lead his brothers to join our troops."

Since Peng Hui had already expressed his feelings, Wang Yonggui hurriedly said, "To be honest, my brothers and I are both from Chabei, and now our hometown has been occupied by Japan. We brothers have no other way out. The infamy of traitors must not be blamed. Now we can only surrender to the master's seat and hope that the master's seat will be taken in." After that, Wang Yonggui knelt in front of Shen Xiuwen with a pounce.

"Get up quickly, Commander Wang, my troops will not promote this." Chen Xiuwen hurriedly helped Wang Yonggui up.

Seeing that Chen Xiuwen was still hesitating, Wang Yonggui quickly continued, "Master, I understand the rules. I have only a few brothers under my command now. Even if you let me be a company commander, I have no objection."

Although Wang Yonggui and his brothers from the security group had been traitors, Chen Xiuwen had learned from Peng Hui that the combat effectiveness of those officers and soldiers were good, and they were not double-slingers like other miscellaneous soldiers. Now that the battle is imminent, Rong Yi Gang suffered a lot of casualties, and he already wanted to gather them. Since Wang Yonggui was sincerely surrendering, Chen Xiuwen smiled slightly and said, "Okay. Then you can add to the Second Battalion of Rong Yi Gang. However, Commander Wang, you can only feel wronged and serve as the deputy commander of my Rong Yi Gang and the battalion commander of the second battalion."

The second battalion of Rongyi Regiment was basically wiped out, and the second battalion commander was seriously injured. Wang Yonggui's troops were just in time to replenish them.
