Chapter 682 The responsibility is not yours
The two self-defense troops were chatting, but they did not notice that the Japanese army had already touched them, but both of them were killed silently by the Japanese army.
Yoshida immediately directed the large group of people to quickly pass the bridge and cross the river.
At this moment, two sentries who had changed their guards came over. They did not see the original sentry and immediately became alert.
At this time, a sentry who came to change the guard saw a large group of people passing by on the bridge in the distance, and knew that something was wrong, so he pulled the bolt and fired a gun into the sky to call the police.
The anti-Japanese self-defense forces stationed in Chemadadian hurriedly got up and ran towards the bridge.
Captain Yoshida has rich combat experience. After hearing the gunshots, he knew that his actions had been exposed. He decided to speed up the marching speed and immediately attacked the city when the defenders in the city could not react. In order to avoid being attacked from both sides, he left a small team of Japanese troops, ambushed on the bridge, waiting for the Anti-Japanese Self-Defense Force in the Chema Dadian to arrive at the bridge, suddenly opened fire and caught the Anti-Japanese Self-Defense Force off guard.
The Anti-Japanese Self-Defense Forces sacrificed dozens of people on the spot, and the Japanese army was very elite. In order to avoid the continued entanglement of the Anti-Japanese Army behind them, they decided to fight for them at one time. Therefore, the Japanese squad leader led his troops to charge towards the Self-Defense Forces.
After the troops of the Self-Defense Army were suddenly attacked by the Japanese army, they were already a little confused. The Japanese army suddenly rushed over, and the Self-Defense Army was even more chaotic. The new recruits fled everywhere, and the front team of the Anti-Japanese Self-Defense Army was defeated at that time.
The captain of the Self-Defense Force tried his best to stop the soldiers from fleeing. When he gathered his troops and arrived at the bridge again, he found that the Japanese army had long disappeared. At this time, fierce gunfire sounds had already sounded in Suwei City.
The captain of the Self-Defense Force thought that the Japanese passed through their defense zone and felt very ashamed. In order to make up for their mistakes, he led a large group of troops to chase after him.
Captain Yoshida was also very depressed. He did not expect that he had exposed his target before he could touch the city of Suwei. He knew that he would face a cruel bloody battle. When performing this mission, he and his officers and soldiers knew that their actions were to go deep into the tiger's den and wolf's nest, and the only hope for survival was to quickly occupy the leadership of the Anti-Japanese Administrative Committee and seize their leaders as hostages.
Of course, it is best to catch that damn Gao Jiu. Even if you can't catch Gao Jiu alive, as long as you can kill Gao Jiu, it will be worth it even if they all die.
Yoshida did not hesitate. He did not care about the pursuers behind him or the harassment from other directions of the anti-Japanese army, and led his troops to pounce towards the place where the Anti-Japanese Administrative Committee was located.
Li Mingquan was awakened by the sudden gunfire and explosion. Based on the direction of the gunfire, he immediately organized troops to fight back.
Because defensive positions were set up on the periphery in advance, the main forces left by the Anti-Japanese Self-Defense Forces were also scattered around Suwei City, and the interior was very empty, and it was difficult to mobilize troops to intercept the Japanese army for a while. Therefore, the Japanese army was very progressing smoothly. They fought and rushed and soon arrived at the administrative committee's garrison.
Li Mingquan was anxious and led the security forces of the Administrative Committee to shoot at the Japanese army on the walls of the resident courtyard.
Captain Yoshida has rich combat experience and his men are veterans with rich combat experience. While fighting against the blockade of the Anti-Japanese Self-Defense Forces, they rushed forward and threw grenades.
The guard troops led by Li Mingquan were seriously injured, and Li Mingquan was also injured on his left shoulder.
Fortunately, the guards were all elites of the Anti-Japanese Self-Defense Forces. They did not collapse under the fierce attack of the Japanese army, but instead resisted to the death.
However, the guard troops had only one squadron of more than 110 people, and suffered heavy casualties under the attack of the Japanese army. Now there are only a few dozen people left. Under the attack of hundreds of elite Japanese troops, they can't stand it anymore.
The Japanese army had rushed to the front of the wall and was about to rush to the courtyard of the administrative committee.
If the Japanese army invaded the administrative committee's compound, in addition to the leaders of the administrative committee, there were men, women, young and old, and a large number of staff and family members who were completely incapable of resistance would definitely suffer heavy losses.
At this urgent moment, Taylor led the haibao commando team members to come over in time. Without stopping, they launched a fierce attack on the Japanese army. The Japanese army that had already rushed to the gate of the administrative committee and the wall fell one after another.
Captain Yoshida saw this situation and hurriedly ordered a squadron leader to lead his subordinates to fight back against the haibao commando. He personally led the remaining troops and continued to rush to the courtyard of the administrative committee.
The members of the haibao commando were under great pressure to face the Japanese counterattack against them. Their numbers were insufficient and it was difficult to withstand the Japanese attack.
However, Taylor knew clearly that the Japanese army must not be allowed to attack the administrative committee's compound, otherwise the situation in Suwei City would be completely out of control. Therefore, in a passive situation, he still commanded some of the members of the Haibao commando, regardless of the attacks of the Japanese army opposite, and blocked the administrative committee's gates and walls with firepower.
In Suwei City, although the main forces of the Anti-Japanese Self-Defense Forces were stationed outside the city, there were still many troops in the city, as well as armed forces such as police, and they rushed towards the direction of the administrative committee.
The first one to arrive was the cadre training class of the Anti-Japanese Self-Defense Force, which contained more than 1,150 experienced guerrilla backbones. Under the command of the training captain Zhang Zhenyu, they launched a fierce attack on the flanks of the Japanese army.
Captain Yoshida had to distribute some of his troops to stop them.
At this moment, there were only 200 troops left by Yoshida. He led these people to pounce on the administrative committee's compound regardless of everything.
At this moment of crisis, George led a group of American soldiers to the battlefield in time. These troops composed of American prisoners of war hated the Japanese. When they saw the Japanese in front, they immediately became red and rushed towards Yoshida and others in the rain of bullets.
Captain Yoshida knew that things were impossible to do when he saw this situation. In order to save the remaining people, he had to lead them into the postal and telecommunications building diagonally opposite the Administrative Committee and control some buildings in the postal and telecommunications building and the backyard.
Li Mingquan finally breathed a sigh of relief. He immediately organized troops to siege the Japanese army. The main forces of the Anti-Japanese Self-Defense Force stationed outside the city rushed back one after another, surrounding Yoshida and others.
Li Mingquan had rich combat experience. In order to avoid causing major casualties at night, he did not ask the troops to launch an attack directly, but ordered various units to strengthen surveillance of the Japanese army to prevent them from breaking through and to siege them until dawn.
After Captain Yoshida led his troops to occupy the Post and Telecommunications Bureau compound, he immediately arranged defense and then counted the number of people. After the battle just now, more than 170 people were killed in his men. In addition to the wounded, more than 290 people were able to fight. Although the enemies outside could not see clearly at night, he also knew that the number exceeded them more than ten times. He felt very desperate, so he sent a telegram to the head of the Japanese special high school class in Manila.
The head of the Special High School Section was directly responsible for commanding the sneak attack. He knew that the operation had completely failed. While sending a telegram to Yoshida, he encouraged them to fight bravely, saying that he would ask his superiors for instructions to organize troops to go for reinforcements.
However, whether it was the head of the Special High School or the Captain Yoshida himself, they knew that this was equivalent to not saying it, and that it was deceiving oneself.
The head of the Special High School Section could only do this, hoping that Captain Yoshida and others would be able to seek blessings for themselves. Then he reported the situation of Captain Yoshida and others to his superiors.
The Japanese army was stationed in Manila and the commander of the garrison division. After receiving the report, they were very depressed. Although the Japanese army had more than 40,000 people on Luzon, they were distributed everywhere and had only more than 12,000 mobile troops. Now they have been sent to attack the anti-Japanese armed forces in the northern part of Luzon and have no confidence in winning.
Therefore, this plan is to use them as a feint attack to attract and mobilize the main force of the anti-Japanese army to leave Suwei City to provide cover for the Yoshida Brigade's sneak attack.
Now that Yoshida's brigade is surrounded in Suwei City, the Japanese army has no way to rescue them, and their demise will be sooner or later.
The division commander is most worried about now. The more than 10,000 Japanese main forces on the front line. If they are eaten by Gao Jiu and others, the Japanese army on Luzon Island will not be able to launch an attack on the Japanese army, and it will be difficult for them to even protect themselves.
After thinking for a moment, he issued an order to retreat to the brigade commander of the 82nd Brigade, the front line commander.
At this time, Gao Jiu and others did not know what was happening in Suwei City. They had already touched Linpula City and were preparing to attack the Japanese brigade headquarters.
They took a lot of effort to enter the city and were looking for the Japanese brigade headquarters. Suddenly, the city became chaotic, and the Japanese troops gathered one after another, and then the whole team evacuated to the south.
Under such circumstances, Gao Jiu and others could no longer find the Japanese brigade headquarters. They did not dare to act rashly, so as not to be eaten by a large number of Japanese troops around them.
In this way, they watched the Japanese army retreat.
Gao Jiu and others returned to the anti-Japanese positions. At this time, news came from Suwei City that they had stopped the Japanese army's sneak attack and surrounded the remaining Japanese troops in Suwei City.
Gao Jiu then realized that he had been fooled by the Japanese army, but this was also a good thing, which showed that the Japanese army on Luzon now lacked military strength and it was difficult to pose a major threat to the anti-Japanese armed forces in the north. This gave Gao Jiu and others a great opportunity to consolidate the anti-Japanese base in the northern part of Luzon and train troops.
Gao Jiu decided to suspend the attack on the southern part of Luzon Island, and wait until the troops' training reached a certain level and after receiving assistance from the Mid-level army, they would then occupy the entire Luzon Island.
Although Gao Jiu was caught in the devil's trick this time, it did not cause much harm and was in a relatively relaxed mood.
But Lin Yanni is different. She is responsible for intelligence work. This situation is her major dereliction of duty as an intelligence officer.
She said to Gao Jiu in shame: "Brother Jiu, I always want to help you, but I helped you too much, almost causing serious losses to the rear. I would like to punish you."
Gao Jiu comforted her and said, "Girl, it's not your fault. We have been to Luzon Island for a short time, and we don't understand the overall situation of Luzon Island enough, so it is inevitable that we will make mistakes. This time it's not only you, but I haven't figured out the true intentions of the Japanese army. It doesn't matter. If you learn from your mistakes, you will be able to do it."
After receiving sincere comfort from Gao Jiu, Lin Yanni felt much better. She made up her mind to strengthen intelligence work and strive to be Gao Jiu's real assistant.
Since he had figured out the situation, Gao Jiu would not stop here. He left a small number of troops to continue monitoring the movements of the Japanese army in the south, and then led the main force back to Suwei City.
At 9 a.m. the next morning, Li Mingquan ordered the Anti-Japanese Self-Defense Force to launch an attack on the Japanese army entrenched in the post office compound.
It has to be said that the troops led by Yoshida are all elites of the Japanese army. Although their situation is unfavorable, their combat effectiveness is still very tenacious. They hid in buildings and shot at the Anti-Japanese Self-Defense Forces. The Anti-Japanese Self-Defense Forces suffered heavy casualties and did not make any progress.
Li Mingquan was preparing to reorganize the attack, but Gao Jiu's telegram arrived. He asked Li Mingquan and others to stop the attack, as long as they besiege the Japanese army and do not break through, they would talk about it when he returned to Suwei City.
Captain Yoshida led his Japanese officers and soldiers to repel the attack of the Anti-Japanese Self-Defense Force, but his mood did not improve at all. He knew that even if he fought tenaciously with his officers and soldiers, even ten or even hundreds of times to repel the enemy's attacks, they would not be able to change their destiny. It can be said that their efforts were futile.
He was depressed, but found that the enemy had disappeared. Of course, he knew that the enemy had not evacuated, but had all been hiding.
Through this phenomenon, he probably understood the tactics that the enemy was about to adopt, that is, they would no longer attack, but would siege them for a long time until they starve them to death.
This situation made Yoshida even more depressed. He knew that he had no way to survive and wanted the enemy to continue to launch attacks. He would rather die in the bloody battle than become a starving ghost in the end. He did not want to wait for death and decided to break through with all his strength tonight, even if he died, he would die on the way to break through.
Captain Yoshida's guess was indeed correct. Soon, they found that the water and electricity in the postal and telecommunications building had been stopped.
At 4 pm that day, a burst of cheers suddenly came from outside, awakening Yoshida, who was dozing in a daze. He watched around with his telescope for a while, but he saw no movement.
Suddenly, gunshots came from the roof opposite, and a bullet was hitting the telescope's barrel. The powerful impact force hit Yoshida's eye sockets. The eyeball in his right eye suddenly shattered and he completely lost his vision. It took him a long time to recover from his left eye, but his vision had dropped significantly.
Such a blow made Yoshida even more depressed. Even if he could go back alive, he would be a useless person for the Japanese army. At this moment, he was disheartened and had the idea of committing suicide.
He called several squadron leaders and said to them: "I can't do it anymore. I'll ask you all for the future. Our current dilemma is caused by the damn Gao Jiu. If Gao Jiu cannot be eliminated, I will die with my eyes open.
