Chapter Fifty-Eight: The Devil Retreats

The sound of guns and cannons and shouts of killing in the county town had already alarmed the Japanese troops in the barracks outside the city. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 Info Wing Captain Shiro Shohei climbed out of the bed and immediately called the wing headquarters in the county town to inquire about the situation. In response, a large number of unknown armed men were attacking the wing headquarters, and the Japanese troops in the headquarters demanded that His Excellency Osa immediately send troops into the city for reinforcements!

A large number of armed men are attacking the wing headquarters? Shohei Dazuo put down the phone and thought about it. Shiro Shohira is not impulsive like ordinary Japanese soldiers, he is more calm and thoughtful. Zhaoping Dazuo thought, where did those unknown armed men come from? Why did they attack the wing command?

There is no doubt that those people could not be bandits. If it was a bandit, they should rob the rich and big families in the county, and even if they attacked the imperial army, they should attack the baggage warehouse, and it was useless for them to attack the wing?

If it's not a bandit, then the only troops left may be those who have the wind to do it. Because he heard that Ren Laifeng might attack Jiamusi, the Kwantung Army transferred the Ninth Division. Ren Laifeng has not stopped since he came to Manchuria, and he knocked down Harbin some time ago! Count Yoshida, the inspector of the Kwantung Army, was forced to run away.

All of this, Shohei Dazuo knows everything. He understands that if the person he met was Ren Laifeng, he might not be able to please him tonight. threw away the county seat and ran away, Shohei Shiro didn't dare; Let him lead the troops into the city to rescue now, and he will not dare to take this risk.

Zhaoping Dazuo also had a way, he sent a telegram to the brigade commander and asked the superior commander for instructions on the next move. If you want me to fight, I'll fight, and if I can't beat me, I'll give you support, you can't help but give it, right? As long as there is a steady stream of rescue, Zhaoping Dazuo is confident that he can continue to consume with Ren Laifeng! You won't make me feel better, and I won't make you comfortable.

After more than half an hour, the brigade commander called back: We must be cautious and avoid heavy casualties during the battle. In just these two sentences, it was not stated whether the Zhaoping Wing would enter the city to support, nor did it say which troops would be sent to the rescue. Just let him be careful, careful, and careful!

Zhaoping Dazuo understood at a glance that this was the brigade commander and didn't want to take responsibility, he asked me to be responsible for something happening! For example, Zhaoping Dazuo knew that the division was about to be transferred to the Pacific Theater next, and the brigade commander's reply to this telegram probably meant to preserve strength.

After all, in the Pacific theater, their opponent will most likely be the US military! If his wing loses a lot in this battle, it will face the American army in the future, and he will be the unlucky one, and no one can replace him!

"The third squadron of the first brigade and the second squad of the machine gun squadron formed a rescue detachment, with Captain Yoshino temporarily serving as the detachment leader, and quickly entered the county to rescue!"

To rescue a county town, Zhaoping Dazuo only sent one squadron and another squad, not so much a rescue, but a temptation. Even so, Shohei Shiro was still not at ease, he quietly called Captain Yoshino, who was about to enter the city to rescue, to a place where no one was there and instructed: You go to the county seat to take a look, and if you find that the situation is wrong, come back to me immediately! No fighting! Don't cause too many casualties!

Before the troops started fighting, Zhaoping Dazuo gave such an order, can this battle be fought well? As soon as Captain Yoshino and his squadron walked to the gate of the county seat, they encountered ambush soldiers, and as soon as several mines rang out, gunshots rang out all around, shouting and killing! Captain Yoshino led his troops into a battle posture, but it turned out that it was not the infantry that attacked them, but the ironclad chariots!

The six tanks were divided into two directions, left and right, and roared over, firing machine guns and strafing. Who can stand six tanks, six heavy machine guns, and countless muzzles in the darkness around them? As soon as the two sides met, Yoshida's troops were knocked down by more than a dozen!

Captain Yoshida saw that the situation was not good, and withdrew with his troops. Before coming, Dazuo specially explained that he was not allowed to fight and not to cause too many casualties. One shot died a dozen in person, and after a few more times he beat up the troops, how could he explain when he went back?

The Yoshida detachment, which entered the city to rescue, fled in confusion after throwing more than a dozen corpses at the city gate, and the rescue operation ended here.

Yoshida went back to report, and when Shohei Osa heard it, he even pulled up the tank? How can this battle be fought? Dazuo again sent a telegram to report to the brigade commander, requesting tactical guidance.

The brigade commander read the telegram and didn't mention this irritability in his heart, this Shohei Shiro usually didn't notice why he was so verbose? Do you have to wait for me to give you the order to withdraw your troops? I won't give this order yet! If you have a kind, you will stay in Yuyuan County to see if Ren Laifeng will leave you a piece of land.

Just during the telegram of Shohei Daisa and others, his wing was attacked by an unknown cavalry unit! A cavalry force of several hundred people suddenly attacked the Zhaoping unit. The Zhaoping Wing was caught off guard by an attack, and before they had time to react, the cavalry troops had already finished fighting and left.

At the end of the short battle, Zhaoping Dazuo counted the number of people, good guy, this sneak attack of the cavalry caused him to lose forty or fifty people! Although only a dozen were actually killed, those who were wounded were basically ineffective. This attack can be described as "heavy casualties"!

Shohei Shiro didn't plan to fight hard, but now that he was attacked again, he wanted to leave even more. As a result, Shohei Daisa sent a third telegram to his brigade commander, stating that the troops had suffered an attack and had suffered fifty casualties, and that he Shohei Shiro planned to lead his troops to rendezvous with the main force of the brigade in order to fight again in the future!

The brigade commander replied: Pay attention to loving the soldiers, maintain the combat effectiveness of the team, and the troops must fight bravely, advance rapidly, and join the main force of the brigade as soon as possible!

Shiro Akihei took the telegram from the brigade commander as if he had received a life-saving charm, and immediately formed the troops into battle formations and prepared for action. You're in front, he's behind, I'm in the middle, go!

The Zhaoping Wing bravely launched a charge, broke through the blockade of our army in one fell swoop, and disappeared into the vast night. Our army sent off Shohei Taijun with machine guns and mortars. Subsequently, Yubara Prefecture became a completely empty city.

The headquarters of the Japanese wing that remained in the county seat was completely annihilated by our troops, and all the guards of the wing and all the Japanese officers and men who remained in the wing headquarters were killed. Radios, maps, documents, all fell into the hands of our army. After the war, our army counted 24 officers and men, 18 of whom belonged to Zhang Sheng's company, which was the first to participate in the battle.

According to the statistics of corpses collected after the war, 12 Japanese soldiers were killed in this battle. Nineteen seriously wounded prisoners were captured, and later due to postoperative infection, all nineteen died the day after being operated on by our army.
