Chapter 1042: Shocking from all directions!
The morning of June 5, 1938 is definitely a morning that can be recorded in the history of China.
The streets of Jiangxia Chongcheng!
Countless boys yelled on the streets: "A great victory in the battlefield in the southeastern part of North China and Shanxi!"
There was almost no newspaper left in the newspaper bag they were straddling, but the newspaper boys were still shouting loudly on the street with excitement.
The sparse office workers did not hesitate to buy the few newspapers with money, but the people who were curled up in the building and at the door of the shop showed more numbness.
It is not the first time that the government's propaganda victory is. In Jinling, in many cities, they have cheered for it, but what is the result? From Songhu to Jinling and then to northern Jiangsu, the Japanese army's iron hooves are approaching, and their homes are gone. Those who want to guard their homes are massacred by the Japanese. Even if they flee to Jiangxia, there is no tiles or an inch of land under the top, the Japanese's military peaks are still approaching step by step. Can they still escape there? Is it the southwest covered with mountains or the south facing the sea?
Yes, the war that lasted for nearly a year almost destroyed the hope of the refugees who were unsustainable for three meals and had no place to live. For them, it would be more practical to give them a porridge so called a great victory.
War is like endless darkness, and people who are in it dare not imagine when dawn will come.
But, after all, there are still some people living in darkness, but they still look forward to the light.
Otherwise, this nation will fall into darkness forever!
"A zebra, come and see. The kidnappers in the Second War Zone are so strong! Not only did they smash the heavy siege of the Japanese, they also killed a mixed brigade of the Japanese. The most awesome thing is that they captured a major general brigade commander alive." The scream of a local Jiangxia native was like a thunderclap, which made the numb refugees finally feel a little more emotion in their eyes.
That emotion is called surprise.
In previous victories, we have always just said that our army fought bravely to kill the enemy in this battle and annihilated how many enemies were, but the final outcome was that our army successfully retreated, and a large area of land became an enemy occupied area. But this time, not only did we suddenly become an enemy brigade that was established, but we also captured a major general of enemy gang alive?
Does this mean that the situation on the battlefield has changed?
If people want to live, they always have a hope. The refugees who flee thousands of miles to Jiangxia want to return to their hometowns all the time. The reversal of the war situation is their greatest hope.
Yes, in the hearts of these Chinese people, they won a battle and did not capture an enemy general alive. They were even more shocked.
Because, since the war started in July last year, China has lost many generals, but there are very few Japanese troops, let alone captured alive, which is the first time that it has been unprecedented.
The entire lifeless street came alive because of the shout of this Jiangxia native.
People gathered around the people with newspapers in their hands and begged them to read about the battlefield news that was at least thousands of kilometers away from them.
The senior officials who had already retreated to the Second War Zone Command and the Military and Political Department, which had retreated across the Yellow River, also had smiles on their faces at this time.
The Second Mixed Brigade was annihilated two days ago and was judged sooner or later. But what these senior generals did not expect was that in addition to killing thousands of Japanese invaders, they could also capture the Major General of the Second Mixed Brigade Commander Yamashita.
That's not all. When the 17th and 104th Divisions, which were repaired in the mountains, began to march towards the combat areas of the 80th Army and the 16th Division, the Japanese army finally couldn't hold back. On the morning of June 3, they began to gradually withdraw troops to the rear. By the next day, according to reconnaissance, most of the Japanese main force had retreated, and basically announced that the battle for defense of southeastern Shanxi was successfully over.
However, the old man from Shanxi who had always wanted to prove himself became cautious this time and waited for another day to confirm that the three Japanese troops were retreating, and sent a telegram to the Ministry of Military Affairs at dusk on June 4.
Therefore, the Ministry of Military Affairs prepared articles overnight, requiring all domestic newspapers and radio stations to announce the good news of the victory of the Southeast Jin Dynasty to the whole country in the early morning of the next day.
Although both sides invested only 200,000 troops in this battle, it took only half a month. Compared with the previous two sides, which often invested hundreds of thousands or even millions, the battle of large-scale battles such as the Battle of Songhu, the Battle of Jinling, and the Battle of Xuzhou, which fought for several months, it was a small battle.
However, the war is related to whether the Jin Province is not occupied by the Japanese army, whether the last barrier in northern China can be successfully defended, and even the Guanzhong Plain, which is not threatened in the southwest, and is extremely important in strategic sense.
In addition, capturing the major general of the second mixed brigade regiment alive, Yamashita Fumiya was a heavy blow to the Japanese North China Front Army.
Thinking about it with your butt, everyone knows how the new commander of the North China Front Army and leading the battle is like a slight silence.
A big boss was excited and even sent a congratulatory message to the old man from Shanxi who was then the commander of the Second War Zone and the boss of the 80th Army overnight, praising the two of them for their excellent coordination and command in this battle in the southeastern Shanxi, and promising that they would personally award the Blue Sky Medal to them.
You know, those two were once the kind of thorns in the eyes of this boss who wanted to kill them quickly, but now they have to go to award precious medals in person, which shows how important this battle is to the principal.
It was like a dying person taking a shot of a heart-warming agent! It was even more exciting than the victory of the Taierzhuang battle.
The biggest factor is to capture the unlucky child of Yamashita alive.
This actually originated from the bloody battle of 5VS48!
Hammer and Guaiguai killed the last two Japanese infantry, but in fact there were four Japanese grenade launchers in the distance. According to conventional rules, as long as the four Japanese grenade launchers who still had a few grenades mustered up the courage to bombard the grenades, they could become the final winners of this battlefield.
Unfortunately, after they watched a pig and a dog crazily attack the last two infantrymen on their side and succeeded, the last trace of courage disappeared.
This chapter is not over, please click on the next page to continue reading! They ran away, and even the brigade commander placed on the stretcher behind the stone did not care about it.
Of course, they let their grenade launcher smash the unconscious brigade commander to make loyal to His Majesty the Emperor, and they would never dare to have the soldiers with the highest level of military command.
Then, the Chinese infantry rushing towards them completely controlled the battlefield and sent two three-man teams to pursue the Japanese soldiers who rushed into the mountains from their sights.
For Wei Donglai at that time, all his thoughts were on how to save three soldiers from his side. He would pay attention to a few escaped Japanese soldiers and send soldiers to chase them. It was just to prevent the Japanese army from killing and giving them a cold gun and cannon here, which would be embarrassing.
The soldiers on the Japanese positions soon found Yamashimi lying on a stretcher. Although Yamashimi was the commander of the brigade, he did not wear his woolen general's uniform after being seriously injured. It was even more impossible for the Chinese soldiers to say, "I am a major general of the army." Naturally, the Chinese soldiers did not know who this guy was, but at this time the Japanese even carried him on the stretcher and took his butt and thought that this guy would never have a low status.
Wei Donglai and the Army Lieutenant were heartbroken and breathing because the health soldiers rescued Tudou and Yang Bicheng. In a good mood, they did not use this seriously injured and unconscious Japanese "big figure" as a sacrifice. Otherwise, Yamashita would have a 90% chance of being directly killed by a group of angry Chinese soldiers.
At that time, let alone nothing proved that he was a major general of the army, even if he held up the officer's certificate and said that he was willing to scold him in public, he would probably be cut off his head by the Chinese soldiers and put his brothers who died in battle as sacrifices.
In a sense, Yamashita probably has to thank the two Chinese health soldiers for saving the lives of two Chinese soldiers and indirectly helping him extend his life.
In order to find out the identity of this "big man", Wei Donglai rarely asked the two infantry squad leaders who led the team into the mountains to pursue the two infantry squad leaders to stay alive.
Several Japanese grenade launchers who fled into the mountains did not even have guns. What's more, there was a dog and a pig in the Chinese search team.
Guaiguai's wild boar once again showed the officers and soldiers of the Four Lines that adopting it is not just because of its ability to bite people, but its sense of smell is even stronger than the hammer that unlocks its ancestor's genes.
Almost without detour, he led a few soldiers to the Japanese hiding place. The Japanese grenade launcher, who was forced to go to the dead, took the risk of hanging himself under a cliff. The support point of his body was less than a basin-sized rock under his feet. It was unknown whether he could get up. The most advanced method of "hiding and seeking" was even dumbfounded by the soldiers of the Four-Line Regiment, who were born in the hunter, was dumbfounded.
They were so whimsical and took it easy. The poor Japanese child still didn't expect that the other party would have a wild boar that was more erect than a dog's nose to help him, and he was captured alive.
The surviving Japanese infantry could only bet on the promise that the Chinese would not kill him. Naturally, Yamashita's identity was exposed. Tang Dao, who was personally taking medical staff and even military doctors to the mountainous area, received this news that surprised him.
Yes, Tang Dao was only surprised, not happy. His two soldiers were still fighting against the god of death. Is it worth his smile?
Under Tang Dao's instruction, Yamashimi, who was seriously injured, was rebanded and used medicine, but the surgery was not enough to be thought of. Tang Dao said: "What's so great about a Japanese general? No matter how important it is, the life of my brothers in the Four-League Group is important?"
Three military doctors who followed Tang Dao into the mountain performed surgery on Tudou and Yang Bicheng on the spot. For this reason, the entire battalion picked up 30 strong men to donate blood to the two of them, and successfully pulled them back from the God of Death.
Yamashita was not so lucky. Not only did he not undergo surgery, his hands and feet were also tied to a stretcher, and gauze was stuffed into his mouth, which prevented this guy from sobering and finding out that he was captured and self-harm.
The Japanese could even play with such cruel and broken belly. It was absolutely not new to tear the wound on their stomach with their hands and pull it out. It was even more of a pediatric department if they bit their tongue and commit suicide.
When Ye Chenghuan, the director of the Political Department, heard about this, he was so anxious that he arrived with a cavalry squad. At least he took out the gauze from the mouth of "Taihang Zhutouwen" and arranged four people to take turns to watch him for 24 hours. Only then did Yamashita regain his life and not be suffocated to death.
Compared with the Tang regiment who did not agree with it, Ye Chenghuan knew how important it was to capture a Japanese general to the Chinese army or the Chinese people at this time, and that was even more powerful than annihilation of an infantry brigade.
After hearing about this, Brigade Commander Cheng immediately left everything at hand and arrived with a guard platoon. In order to prevent Tang Dao from making trouble, he specially brought two captive Japanese lieutenants to confirm.
The Four Army Regiment currently lacks food. The 683rd Brigade is not short of food now. The number of Japanese officers and soldiers captured by more than 120. The only regret is that there are no auxiliary officers.
Those Japanese intermediate officers were not only stubborn but also knew in their hearts that the Chinese would settle the score later. They issued those cruel orders in the occupied areas, and their hands were covered with the blood of the Chinese. After being identified by the unsolicited subordinates, the possibility of being shot is greater than 99%. It is better to die on the battlefield and gain a reputation to avoid being implicated by the family members in China.
Although the two lieutenant-level officers were not of sufficient level and could not often meet Yamashita's high-ranking brigade commander, Yamashita's appearance was still recognized. Even though he had a little swollen face because of the wounded, especially one of the lieutenants was from the First Infantry Brigade, and belonged to the iron-core army of Nakayama Shibu, the second mixed brigade, he would not forget Yamashita's unlucky appearance.
Originally, he thought that he had given up the honor of the Imperial Army to survive and became a prisoner of the Chinese. The two Japanese lieutenants were a little discouraged, but now he saw that even the brigade commander was caught by the Chinese, so his little thought came.
This chapter is not finished yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content later! If they could live, they could tell their compatriots that they chose to live a life of silence in order to protect the brigade commander, otherwise they would have died in the battle long ago.
To put it bluntly, Yamashita also became the reason why these two Japanese officers convinced themselves to continue to live well. They would not honestly point out, even if it was not, they would want to say that guy was.
The news was uploaded layer by layer, capturing the top secret information of the major general of the Second Mixed Brigade of Shanxiawen, the leader of the 80th Group Army and the old man from Shanxi who were a hundred miles away were so happy that he ate two more bowls of rice at night.
"Immediately order the command center of Jin Southeast to give that, yes, Shanxiawen carefully treats it, and must be alive, and send it to Linfen." The old man from Shanxi immediately ordered. "By the way, this information is strictly confidential. If anyone is spread, kill it!"
This guy is a smart guy. Although he is stingy, his mind is very fast. He doesn't indicate that he wants to send him away, but wants to send him away at the southeastern Jin command. That means he is the favor of the boss of the 80th Army commanding the battle. This is not only the credit of the Four Rangers, but also his 80th Army.
After all, in the battle of Changle Village, the Eighty Army was the most elite infantry brigade under its command.
And! This guy really doesn't want to see Tang Dao. Last time he came to Linfen, although Tang Tuanzou made a lot of money for the old man, Tang Dao used the information to make reasonable and legal troubles and fiddled with tens of thousands of oceans. The old man from Shanxi has always remembered it!
This is the temperament of an old man in Shanxi. He can sleep with his mother, but he can pay for his money from his wallet. That's true, I will remember your baby for the rest of his life!
When the old man from Shanxi thought that Tang Dao wanted to send Shanxiawen to the headquarters, he might be reasonable and legal, and in a reasonable manner, he would have the greedy look of asking for money and supplies. The old man in Shanxi felt a headache.
It’s better not to see this guy!
It is precisely for this reason that the old man in Shanxi turned to the great contribution to the 80th Army. Otherwise, with the "black history" that the 80th Army almost beat the old man in Shanxi in the previous two years of the Eastern Expedition, how would the old man in Shanxi take care of him like this?
Anyway, if the person who has beaten himself or extorted his own money, if he has to choose one love, the old man instinctively will choose the former.
The king of Jin Province, just like this, when Tang Dao found out that this person who was fighting, he couldn't help but laugh and cry.
Of course, the old man in Shanxi underestimated the mind of the boss of the 80th Army. Since the theater commander handed him over the important task of sending the Japanese major general to prison, he could naturally designate who would send it to him.
What's even more terrible is that the old man in Shanxi underestimated the friendly generals, but overestimated the confidentiality level of his headquarters.
In the afternoon, the Second War Zone Command received news from the Jin Southeast War Zone Command, and roars broke out in the quiet courtyard of Pingbei City, where the lights were just on.
"Damn Yamashimi, not only is it stupid that the imperial elites have been lost, but the courage to be loyal to the Empire and His Majesty the Emperor has been lost, which has brought shame to the Imperial Army!"
After receiving this information, the army general who had been a very cunning minister had completely lost his calmness. He was like a trapped beast in the quiet courtyard, constantly swearing.
The reason why this person is so out of control is that this is the third heavy hammer he has suffered in the past few days. This hammer among the Chinese is more harsh than the other one, and Baga's is just like meeting Li Yuanba.
From the moment when the Second Mixed Brigade was surrounded and the Land Airlines side was shot down more than ten fighter jets for support, the Japanese Army General knew that the failure of the Southeast Jin campaign led by him and initiated was a foregone conclusion.
The worst case is that most of the main force of the Second Mixed Brigade was broken. He even decided the most suitable candidate for the blame last night and drafted a telegram for this. He just waited for the Second Mixed Brigade's defense line to completely collapse, and the front troops attacking the mountainous areas of southeastern Shanxi will be evacuated in an orderly manner to avoid greater losses.
But Yamashimi's accidental capture still far exceeded his bottom line. It was not that he was immersed in the officialdom for many years and was a little cunning, but this was enough to make him spit a pot of blood. Even so, his eyes were spinning and his eyes were full of Venus, which was a true portrayal of his after receiving the information.
Not to mention scolding Shanxiawen, if Shanxiawen was here, he would have been chopped with a knife and chopped it into meat sauce and fed it to the dog.
The intelligence department has confirmed that the incident was confirmed correctly, which was issued by the highest-level spy adventure that was not even launched when the Battle of the Origin City was launched.
Moreover, I believe that China will announce this important information soon.
After all, it is a rare record for China, which has been on the strategic defense step by step.
China is very happy, which means that Japan is particularly uncomfortable. This is not a big deal. Both sides are so happy that they are not good.
For Shanshanyuan at this time, the consequences have already occurred. What he, the number one leader of the North China Front Army, needs to do is to minimize the bad influence of this matter.
Otherwise, the old lieutenant general who only launched the blame would not be able to stop the surging public opinion from the country, even if His Majesty the Emperor supports him.
After a long time, the furious Shanshan Yuan finally calmed down.
Chapter completed!
