181. New Military Intelligence
Commander Chu and the commanders admired Hao Zizhong's generosity, and planned to report to Brigade Commander Ding to give him an official of the township regiment training, or give him some money if he had the money. Hao Zizhong said: "This is a mess, what do I want money for, with that thing, my family is not safe." You don't have to think so much about me, I want to go to Zhaosuchuan to learn the Tao, this is not an escape, I will continue to resist Japan after I come back. "It turns out that he learned the Red Gun Club there......
At around two o'clock in the afternoon of March 12, Shimafu Marunakasa received a report that there was a fight ahead. Shimafumaru listened attentively, and there was a gunshot in front of him, but it seemed that the gunfire had never been heard before, like a broken gong. Ordered to probe again, and urged his subordinates to beat their horses and go quickly. Then another soldier came to report, saying that the imperial army could no longer resist, the Maozha squad had all been broken, and some of the Maochuan squad had been killed, and the rest could not resist and were chased to Nanshan.
As soon as Shimoo Shaoza arrived at the mouth of the Dagou River, Shimafu Maru Nakasa arrived. At this time, Okauchi Guncao had already finished firing that shot for a while. After the bomb was blown up, the Red Lance would burrow into the woods and withdraw, and Lieutenant Mao Chuan led the remnants of the defeated army, circled the corpses of his soldiers, and rushed back to the mouth of the Dagou River in embarrassment. Shimafu Maru Nakasa got off the horse, asked the reason, and chased after the lower husband and Mao Chuan to sob. Just now, due to the lack of adaptation to the water and soil, the lower husband Shaozuo went to the woods to relieve his big hands, and his stomach hurt so much that he could hardly stand up. The guards, the leader of the loose bone squad and the personnel of the squadron headquarters were very anxious, and when they were about to call the military doctor, a gunshot rang out in front, but the gunfire was very weak and unpleasant.
The lower husband put on his pants and hurriedly ran out, but he couldn't care so much, and ordered the loose bone squad and the squadron headquarters personnel to kill the mouth of the Dagou River. Almost at the same time, Shimafu Maru Nakasa felt it, and Captain Mao Chuan also returned in embarrassment. Seeing Mao Chuan lose his armor, he was also very angry. Shimafumaru Shaoza slapped his face left and right, he didn't feel any pain, and he was very relieved.
Lieutenant Mao Chuan was not as firm as him, his hat was lost, and Wang Ba Box happened to pick it up. Shimafu Maru pulled it down with the first mouth, and it took him a long time to get up almost crying, and shouted "Hai" with his husband Shaoza. The subordinate is shouting with a heavy will, he is accumulating strength; Mao Chuan is different, he is humbly about to prostrate on the ground, and his willpower is gone. Shimafumaru's slap on his face was not a snap, it was as dull as the gunfire just now.
Shimafumaru stopped fighting, he thought there was something wrong with his hand, put his right palm in front of his eyes, and carefully studied the numb palm. Ono Taro led the main force and the wing headquarters to arrive, he did not dismount, and squinted at the corpses of the Japanese soldiers underground. He didn't understand that the warriors of the empire had died under the red tassel spear, and some of them were still wearing half of the red tassel spear head on their chests. Shimao Maru Nakasa, Shimo Shaosa, and Lieutenant Mao Chuan all stood in front of his horse, and here and now, he didn't want to say anything, he couldn't chase and beat his subordinates like the next commander.
But he quickly turned his brain and thought, with the bravery of the imperial soldiers, the sophistication of the guns and the abundance of bullets, but he was killed by a group of red tassel gunners? You can't just find the reason from the side of the Imperial Army, whether the Red Gunners have used ulterior methods. He stopped his thoughts and told Herald Morita Masa, saying, "You pay attention to Okauchi Guncao, see how he is?" Morita said "Hai" and went to Okauchi to observe him.
Okauchi knew that he was guilty, so he didn't dare to go far, and was waiting under a tree to be punished. He saw Herald Morita poking his neck to look at him, thinking he was calling him. He stood up, took a few steps closer, and said: "Sir, Okauchi knows that he has sinned deeply and insulted the honor of the Kwantung Army, and he is willing to cut his belly to thank the emperor for this......" Mao Chuan and his soldiers who fled back could no longer stand still, and knelt down together in the direction of Japan, shouting in unison, "The defeated army insults the honor of the Kwantung Army, and is willing to cut his belly." Mao Chuan turned back to Ono and said, "Ono Osa, Mao Chuan and his soldiers, it has been more than two years since they left Kumamoto, and the family doesn't know that we are dead here. When we bury the soil after we have shaved our belly, please turn our heads in the direction of Japan, so that we can always look at our hometown......"
Mao Chuan's soldiers looked back at Ono Osa together, hoping that he would grant the request. Ono Osa turned around and looked left and right, the north and south sides of the avenue were dense forests, and as far as the eye could see, hundred-year-old trees abounded, and he blamed everything that had just happened here on the tree spirits. Thinking of this, he turned around and said to Morita Chang in Japanese, Inform it, all be mental, the Imperial Japanese Army is brave, and it is about to kill chickens......
Seeing that the soldiers in the rear team had dismounted and rested, they had already mounted their horses, and turned to look at the faces of Lieutenant Mao Chuan and the soldiers below. These people wept and begged bloodily, which made his mood also flood, soldiers, iron and blood, fighting for the emperor, that is all for the subordinates to see, who doesn't want Kumamoto? Who doesn't want cherry blossoms? Who doesn't want to be reunited with their family?
A few moments away, momentary thoughts, he reconsidered his experience. He looked down at Okauchi Guncao in front of the horse and said, "I myself don't advocate shaving my belly, and of course I thank the emperor, but the warriors of the imperial army want to fight to the death, and that is the real horse leather shroud...... However, Okauchii, I have to ask you, where did the people who made the red tassel spear come from? ’
Okauchi touched his head, thought for a long time and said: "I didn't see where they came from, because the Maoza team was in front, and I didn't accept the water and soil here, and I was trying to relieve myself, and the front started fighting." Since the other side had no guns, Mauza ordered his soldiers to take bayonets and play with those men. ”
Okauchi watched the Ogou River flowing southward not far to the west, and thought hard. A soldier helped Okauchi and recalled: "But when they fought together, they were not the opponents of those people, their red tassel spears were like artifacts, and as soon as they stretched out, they entangled their bayonets, and then pierced into the left heart of the other party with the wind......
Okauchi also sounded and said, "When our team rushed forward, it was not their opponent, and the one in front was stabbed down by them, and if they couldn't resist it, they were chased and ran to Nanshan." We ran desperately, and there were red tassel spears behind us, and no matter how fast we ran, we were pierced by the red tassel guns......" Ono was a little frightened by their description, and pretended to be calm and said: "The people of China can't stop the footsteps of the imperial army, and today's events are a little ......" He gave himself courage, and secondly, he tried to listen to the hearts of the wounded officers and soldiers as much as possible, so as to arouse their patience in killing the enemy.
He pretended to smile and said, "Mao Chuanjun, you and your subordinates have returned to the team, don't mention the matter of cutting your belly again." ”
Then, he immediately opened a ditch at the mouth of the river and drove his horse across the river. Chief of Staff Nishio Gofu Nakasa stood by the river and commanded the crossing of the river. The Shimafu Maru Brigade was still in front, this time it was the Zuozuo Wood Squadron that was ahead, and the men and horses quickly crossed Konishigou and arrived at Wujia. Ono Tataro ordered Morita Masashi to find Shiochi, a special high school who was acting with the wing, and after a while, Shioichi arrived. He was about to dismount and salute, but Ono waved his hand and said, "Ao, Shio-san, come here, I have something to say to you." ”
Shiori approached with a horse and said, "What do you have to say, please tell me." Ono said: "You must know about the attack on the squadron just now. Regarding this incident, I have an idea, the imperial army is strong, and the people of China dare to attack, which is not a simple matter. It shows that some of the people here must have been encouraged by the red elements before they dared to do this. He saw that Yan Yi had taken out a small notebook, memorized it intently, and then said: "Yan Sang, you see, there are many tall trees here, and there are too many trees that are a hundred years old. You know, when a tree is big, it has a spirit. The gang of people who wielded the red tassel spear took advantage of the aura of the tree spirit......"
Shionichi graduated from Tokyo Imperial University and studied Japanese ninjutsu and theology, but he still understood Ono's statement with suspicion, and nodded incessantly and said, "Ono Daisa, what you say, I will report to Aogu-kun." Ono Osa, you see, under the root of the mountain on the west side of the river, there is a temple. The temples in China are generally dedicated to Guan Gong and some other gods. The incident is scheduled to be related there, and I will investigate this matter after I reach an agreement with Section Chief Aokuma. ”
Halfway through the crowd, Motegi called from Minamidaiko and said, "Ono-kun, the centaurs should move quickly, but pay attention to the movements on both sides, where are your troops?" Ono Taro said: "Report to General Motegi, our department has now driven to the Ogou River and is crossing the river...... Motegi did not wait for him to finish, and then said: "Ono-kun, pay attention to the signs of the 117th Brigade to prevent them from raiding." Sun Tzu's art of war is cloudy, and he will attack it without crossing it halfway......" Ono said: "Now the artillery is stationed in the east of the river, most of the men and horses have waded through the water, the forward has already moved to the village to the west, and there is no suspense for the whole company to drive across the river." However, there is an incident that I have to report to you. ”
Motegi said, "It's the Red Lance that will attack the Imperial Army, I already know, so you can tell us more about the situation." Ono Taro gave a general account of the incident, but at most he talked about a rough understanding of the cause and impact of the incident.
There was a horse, standing by the river and drinking, drinking, running ashore, twisting his tail to pour. The veterinarian who accompanied the army hurriedly came over, saying that the horse had a stomachache, which was probably caused by not adapting to water and soil. A few people hurriedly came over and grabbed the horse to give medicine. Ono Taro thought of this that there have been a lot of soldiers who have been dissatisfied with the water and soil recently, and today another horse has appeared, and it seems that there is another unfavorable military situation.
He was about to report the incident to the commander of the Motegi Brigade, when the Shimafu Maru Brigade, which had already driven to Goka Village, exchanged fire with the defenders. The defenders did not know how many people stopped and stopped, and swept down dozens of their horses and soldiers on the banks of the Yangzi River in the west of Wujia Village. After Motegi heard the report, he scolded Ding Boting for being unkind, and at the same time ordered the logistics personnel to quickly ask Chifeng City to transfer military horses.
Ono Taro Osa, drove the wing headquarters to Wujia Village and occupied Songjiazhuang as the headquarters. He hurriedly gathered his troops and arranged the various brigades, artillery squadrons and grenadier squads, front, back, left and right, to deal with the attack of the 117th Brigade.
At about 3 o'clock in the afternoon, the captains of the various brigades and squadrons were summoned for a meeting, but the forward Zuozuomu squadron was in the east of Tangyingzi in the west of the Yangjizi River, and was dragged by the 117th Brigade. Zuo Zuo Mu Shaozuo had to rush to repair the trenches on the spot and defend it with his life.
