Chapter 1269 The soldiers are aiming directly!

In addition to the Second Lieutenant Sora Kuroi who died on the spot, there were only 2 Japanese fighter jets that were arrogantly flying low at altitudes in the end.

A Japanese plane emitting white smoke flew hard to escape to the distance after trying to reach an altitude of 800 meters.

The white smoke dragged by the tail of the machine was nearly a mile long, like a flag dragged by the defeated army behind him. Even the soldiers of the Fifth Division who were still on the front line of Zhongtiao Mountain 15 kilometers away from Ruicheng seemed to have seen it.

This should also be the first time that the Japanese army has suffered from the war damage in the half month from the 14th to the North China Aviation Corps.

Although the two Japanese planes responsible for the surveillance at high altitude were frightened, they also responded, galloping in the sky, shaking their wings and dropping a total of 6 bombs.

Unfortunately, due to the high altitude, none of the six bombs hit the target, and the nearest one was 200 meters away from the machine gun fire group hidden in the woods.

This forced ground-to-air ambush battle ended perfectly with the 46th Independent Brigade shooting down one and injured one.

In fact, the Japanese plane that fled in panic did not struggle for too long. It eventually crashed in a suburb about 20 miles away from YC City.

The pilot chose to parachute before the plane crashed. If the timeline was pushed forward for half a day, even if the Japanese pilot fell and died, he would have a 90% chance of being rescued by the Japanese infantry.

But the tragic thing is that the current Western Turkish detachment of the 4th Division is just like facing a great enemy who has all his strength to defend this logistics base of nearly 200,000 troops, and he has the heart to care about the life or death of this unlucky child.

What's even more terrible is that the Japanese pilot who broke one leg took out his small pistol and threatened to run over to watch the lively villagers, asking these Chinese villagers whom he looked down upon from his bones to carry him to YC City.

The village was originally robbed by the Japanese passing by and several people were killed. Now I see a lonely Japanese again, and it is so awesome and arrogant. Isn’t that evil to the point of being brave?

Two villagers approached in a humble posture to find an opportunity to hold down the Japanese pilot who was still proud of himself. A bunch of people rushed up and smashed them with hoes and shoulder poles, directly smashing them into a different human form.

Everyone knows what the Japanese devils are. If they let the Japanese know about this, no matter whether they are doing it or not, whether you want to resist or kneel down and beg for survival, they all have to die.

This is equivalent to a boat tied up in the entire village. Whether it is a landlord or a bully, everyone has to work together now.

The tragic Japanese pilot was stripped of all his clothes and parachutes were burned to ashes and the Southern Fourteen Pistol he carried were buried in the mountains, with a depth of three or four meters. Not to mention military dogs, they could not find them even if they were dug three feet away.

However, the body was chopped into more than a dozen pieces and threw it into a pigpen at a landlord's house. The four thin pigs that had been booked by the Japanese army's supplies in Yuncheng miraculously began to gain weight before the Lunar New Year. All the Japanese officers who had eaten the pork said it was OK.

When the Zhongtiao Mountain Battle was over, the Japanese army used nearly a thousand men and dozens of military dogs to search for dozens of miles in a radius, but they didn't even find the end of his line. The Japanese pilot disappeared without a trace like bubbles in the sea.

It’s not that the Japanese army has suspected the local people. Anyone who knows the inside story knows that everyone is dying together. No matter how severe the Japanese army tortured them, no one confessed. In the end, the Japanese pilot could only be treated as missing.

Until decades later, the Japanese pilot's son, who was in his 70s, came to the missing place and spent a lot of money to investigate his father's whereabouts. An 80-year-old Chinese man with a hunched back took the group of Japanese to a septic tank in the village that had not been used for more than 30 years and salvaged several human bones.

After DNA testing, a Japanese old man, who was also over 80, knelt down beside the septic tank and cried bitterly.

The Chinese old man who did not receive a so-called bonus was particularly bright, but he waited for this day for eighty years.

An old man of similar age to him was mourning that his father had been in the feces for decades. So did he know if he lost his parents at the age of seven and was forced to take a baby girl to make trouble in the war-torn era?

When he was an adult, he only had the woodshed and pigpen, and transformed a corner of the pigpen into a septic tank. In his lifetime, he would use these to suppress the dirt spirit of the Japanese, and hope that in his lifetime, he could give all this to the descendants of the Japanese to see with his own eyes.

His wish was fulfilled. The old man who had been miserable and lonely all his life passed away a month later, but his cold mouth was filled with a smile.

Chinese people are very arrogant to their friends, but they are also very stingy to their enemies!

Decades of surging time, no, even if it is washed by hundreds of years, it is not enough to smooth out that traumatic memory.

"Old Wang, you're doing a good job!" Brigade Commander Kong looked up at the departing Japanese fighter jet and praised himself for his childhood.

But what excites him more than the results of ground-to-air combat is that it comes from the battlefield on the ground.

Perhaps the end of the four teams defeating the Japanese reinforcements ten miles away, or perhaps the Japanese fleet that fled in a panic was the last straw that broke the camel's back, and the Japanese army in Rui City ran away.

The remaining hundreds of Japanese troops abandoned the city and fled before the 46th Independent Brigade reopened the ground offensive.

The 46th Independent Brigade captured Ruicheng, a supply base that was extremely important for more than 100,000 Japanese troops on the Zhongtiao Mountain front.

Because of the hasty retreat of the Japanese army, they didn't even bother to destroy the supply in the city. More than 500,000 kilograms of various types of food, bullets, artillery shells and other ammunition were piled up in the open air.

After entering the city, the 46th Independent Brigade did not care about these exciting seizures. Their mission to break out of the encirclement this time would not only destroy the Japanese advance base.

The grain and some guns and ammunition were distributed to the people who were still in Ruicheng, and they were asked to go to the countryside to join relatives. At the same time, they also accepted the enlistment of about two or three hundred young people, and ordered each person to bring 3 kilograms of rice and 3 kilograms of white flour, and then used the seized gasoline as fuel to burn the uncarried food and the Japanese ammunition depot.

This chapter is not over, please click on the next page to continue reading! An hour later, the 46th Brigade set out towards Yuncheng dozens of kilometers away.

And all this, the hundreds of thousands of Japanese troops on the front line of Zhongtiao Mountain could only watch it, but they could not help.

Because, on this morning, the more than 100,000 Chinese troops guarding the defense line were also ready to move, especially the Fourth Chinese Army closest to Ruicheng, which even bombarded the Japanese field positions with artillery fire, as if you dare to leave, I dare to fight back on the whole line. Neither Nakamura Masao nor Itagaki Shiro dared to take it lightly, let alone the troops in the central Nakajo Mountain theater Command that was already stretched.

Therefore, during the day of the 14th, the entire Zhongtiaoshan War Zone showed an extremely strange battle situation: the front lines of 60,000 or 70,000 troops on both sides remained unmoved, but the traffic lines of Ruicheng and Yuncheng, located behind the Japanese army, were fighting fiercely.

The 4th Division suffered the biggest loss since entering China. Two infantry brigades were ambushed by the Four Regiments on the way to rescue Ruicheng. Although there was no specific number of casualties, Major General Yukinosuke, who had received the farewell message from his subordinate Yuzai, knew that his two infantry brigades were finished.

Although the infantry brigade stationed in Ruicheng took advantage of the opportunity of entanglement with the land aircraft group and ran away smoothly, they who lost many heavy weapons did not dare to follow the main road to Yuncheng, but chose to move closer to Masao Nakamura.

This choice is correct. If only a few hundred people dare to run towards Yuncheng, no matter whether they meet the 46th brigade or the four-line team, they will be a fate.

That also means that the Xitu Detachment, which originally had nearly 10,000 troops, had only three infantry brigades to fight at this time.

After learning that thousands of Chinese people who captured Ke Ruicheng were moving towards Yuncheng along the highway, Shiro Itagaki immediately issued a military order to help Yukino Okamaki: "Yuncheng is the most important supply base for our side, which is the key to the victory or defeat of this battle. We must not lose it. Our Zhongtiaoshan War Zone Front Command granted the order to block the enemy by any means."

The general idea was to let Yukiosuke Okumi defend Yuncheng to the death and gave him the highest authority, not only could he command all the Japanese troops in Yuncheng, but he could use any shameful means when necessary, such as casting poison gas, and using Chinese civilians as meat shields...

Although I didn't say that clearly, it meant that.

"Shiro Itagaki is extremely despicable! Ita shameless!" Yukiosuke Okuba severely threw the telegram sent by Shiro Itagaki to the ground, and cursed.

According to Shiro Itagaki's meaning, if the troops are insufficient, the current highest commander of Yuncheng can organize all the baggage teams that are staying in Yuncheng, and can basically collect 2,000 people. If you are a little more crazy, you will fire the doctors and nurses in the field hospitals, and there will be more than 1,500 people. The troops that can be used for front-line combat in Yuncheng can also reach the scale of an infantry brigade.

Anyway, for Yuncheng now, what is lacking is not guns and ammunition, but people!

But Yukiosuke Okuba is a smart man. He doesn't know how many nobles are hiding in the baggage team or field hospital. If he pushes all these people to the front line and kills them, he will probably offend all the divisions to the core, and there are countless families in China who hate him and the 4th Division.

You know, the name of Shiro Itagaki's power generation is not his commander, but the front-line command.

Fortunately, Yukinosuke Okuba was also someone behind him. One hour after he quietly sent a message asking for guidance to his division commander, he received a telegram from the North China Front Command, ordering him to hold on to Yuncheng, and immediately organize medical staff in field hospitals of various divisions and troops to evacuate the wounded.

Although the same order was to hold on to Yuncheng, organizing the evacuation of medical and wounded soldiers was in a completely different way from Shiro Itagaki's order to not evacuate one person in order to avoid turmoil in the army.

One is the highest commander of the front line command, and the other is the highest commander in the rear. Who should I listen to? This is completely no difficulty for Major General Yukinosuke Okuba, so he chose the latter without thinking.

Two trains to Yuncheng transport military supplies became the last straw for the Japanese army in Yuncheng.

On the afternoon of the 14th, the originally precious food, ammunition and other supplies were discarded along the railway like grass by the Japanese army. The wounded soldiers and medical staff filled the carriages, and even the carriages were filled with people.

A Japanese aviation lieutenant who had seen it all with his own eyes recorded the description in his diary: the train was filled with evacuated people, and the front of the car that was spitting thick black smoke was like an exhausted old cow, pulling the heavy body to move forward slowly!

The empire eagles passed over their heads, but this time, they could no longer hear their deafening cheers and proud arms, and some were just fear and numbness!

This should be the most sad scene that made the Japanese army feel the most since the Japanese North China Front Army entered the North China war.

He was clearly still at an advantage, but he was forced to have a major retreat.

According to the records in the 4th Division's regiment battle report, the two trains transported away more than 6,800 people who needed to be evacuated.

However, the data reported by each division and the medical staff and seriously injured soldiers in Yuncheng were only less than 5,000. What happened to the extra 2,000 people?

They were all soldiers of the Western Tu Detachment. After the military order for the retreating wounded soldiers was issued, many wounded soldiers covered with bandages emerged from various units of the Western Tu Detachment. Even if the two colonels were personally seated at the railway station, the wounded soldiers were still emerging one after another.

The bandages torn were all covered in blood, with gunshot wounds and fractures. Even the captain of the colonel, who was full of fierce eyes, could not clearly define whether this was a new injury or an old injury. In fact, even if he knew, such wounded soldiers were rarely caught on the scene.

The war is imminent, and commanders like them will not stay in the rear all the time. Once they go to the front line, their lives will not only be in the hands of the Chinese, but also have to be guarded against the guns of their own people.

This chapter is not finished yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content later! In the end, half an hour before the two Chinese troops arrived in Yuncheng, the Japanese army successfully evacuated all non-combatants.

But Yukio Okumi's assistant could only gather four infantry brigades. When the Japanese major general climbed the city and picked up a telescope and looked at the Chinese army 800 meters away, he couldn't help but take a breath.

In just one direction, the number of Chinese troops is 2,000. If we include artillery and other troops hiding further away, the number of troops to attack Yuncheng this time is at least more than 10,000, and there are only a few thousand people reported in the information of Itagaki Shiro.

"Haga! Shameless!" Okuba Yukinosuke's face looked ugly as if he had eaten a few pieces of hot stuff, and kept cursing.

Of course he knew that it might be fine to rely on the thousands of people under his command to block the Chinese attack, but how many people could survive until after the war in the end?

More than 3,000 young men in Osaka have not returned to their hometowns. After this battle, the number of 2,000 or even 3,000 may be increased. This is also the main reason why he turned a blind eye to the surge in wounded soldiers in the detachment.

However, to Yukiosuke Okuba, the Chinese army, which was busy building field trenches outside the city, did not take advantage of the victory to attack the city, but kept digging. The sound of digging continued until late at night, which made the Japanese infantry on the city wall feel irritable.

‘What exactly do the Chinese want to do?’ Yukiosuke Okura, who was sitting in the command center, was also worried, he really couldn’t figure it out.

Although the Chinese are now in great power, they conquered Ruicheng in one fell swoop during the day and burned many supplies of the empire and ambushed the imperial army to achieve extremely impressive results, but these are actually superficial glory. For the imperial army with nearly 200,000 soldiers in Zhongtiao Mountain, it is not even considered to be damaged.

The main force of the imperial army, dozens of miles away, could turn around at any time and swallow it without any effort.

What this Chinese army far away from its main force should do is to be quick and rely on the time when the main force of the imperial army has no time to take care of, and continuously attack all valuable tactical targets, and then escape from a distance, just like the cavalry in ancient warfare, maintaining mobility and sufficient attack power.

And planning to stop and attack the tough situation like now and let the main force of the imperial army clearly know their goals is simply a way to die.

Yukiosuke Okuba believed that with Itagaki Shiro's ability, he had already secretly dispatched troops. In less than two days, a minimum brigade-level unit would arrive near Yuncheng and attack the Yuncheng defenders in front and back. Not to mention that the Chinese were an infantry division or an infantry army, it was probably the fate of the entire army being destroyed.

But the major general of the Japanese army never cares about his opponents, especially a commander who dares to break through the defense line and go deeper under such circumstances. He can think of what the other party can definitely think of, but the other party still does this, which is what he can't figure out.

Then, the major general of the Japanese Army who was so distressed that he could not fall asleep did not expect the answer, but waited for a guest that he unexpectedly expected.

A Chinese!

A tall and elegant Chinese man!
