Chapter 604: Capturing Seishiro Itagaki
"Not bad! Surrender! Itagaki Seishiro said slyly: "Now it is impossible for our army to break through the front and back. The new group occupies Lingpo Mountain, which has blocked our way out of Heng Mountain. Now the attack force commanded by Seiichiro Tsutsui has not been able to take Lingpo Mountain for a long time, and we will be wiped out if we continue to fight. There is only one way to surrender, you drop, personally send someone to the new group to ask for surrender! How to do it, you can change it. ”。
At this time, the only Japanese staff officer who was by Seishiro Itagaki's side was a little worried: "Your Excellency the division commander, I'm afraid the plan of deception is not easy to succeed." Li Yunlong is very cunning and very hateful to the imperial army, and it is estimated that this person will not agree to our request to surrender. ”。
"Anyway, give it a try. You drop, hurry up and get ready! Itagaki Seishiro just waved his hand and said coldly, as for whether he could succeed or not, in fact, the old devil was also uneasy in his heart. If the deception plan is successful, it will at least delay some time to find an opportunity to break through.
The Japanese staff officer thought for a while, and said helplessly: "Hai, Your Excellency the division commander!" Humble obedience. Then he hurried away.
It's just that at this time, the Japanese army Shaozo Tsutsui Seiichiro, who was ordered to stop launching a strong attack on Lingpo Mountain, was very puzzled, but after the herald sent out by Seishiro Itagaki gave the order, Tsutsui Seiichiro also reluctantly ordered the Japanese army that attacked Lingpo Mountain to retreat temporarily, but the attack posture in the face of Lingpo Mountain was still not lifted.
However, Tsutsui Seiichiro still hurried to Itagaki Seishiro and reported with a solemn expression: "Your Excellency, Division Commander, the Imperial Army soldiers who attacked Lingpo Mountain have done their best. The opposing side occupied both sides of Lingpo Mountain, and many light and heavy machine gun fire points were deployed on the mountain, condescending to fire fiercely at our imperial soldiers attacking the mountain. We suffered heavy casualties under the attack, and now the number of soldiers who have been withdrawn has been reduced by at least half. ”。
"What? How many men do you have in your hands now? Seishiro Itagaki heard Seiichiro's report from Tsutsui and frowned as he walked around.
Tsutsui Seiichiro smiled bitterly, and then said: "Your Excellency, Division Commander, the other party occupies the important place of Lingpo Mountain and clamps the intersection of the mountain road between Lingpo Mountain. Our men charged several times, but they were all crushed by the machine gun fire and artillery fire deployed by the other side on the top of Lingpo Mountain. The firepower of the Imperial soldiers attacking on the back was inferior to that of the other side, and they were beaten with heavy casualties. Now, after urgent counting, there are less than 500 troops left. Coupled with the Imperial soldiers of the Zhina Army who supervised the rear to block the direction of the valley mouth of the Jinlong Gorge in the rear, there were less than 800 people. Your Excellency, Division Commander, I'm afraid our plan to surrender will not last long. ”。
"Bagaya Road, order all troops to stop the offensive and turn to the defense on the spot. You drop, immediately send a report to Taiyuan, asking for reinforcements from Commander Shinozuka. Itagaki Seishiro said a little deflated, send reinforcements, even if the reinforced Japanese army comes to help again, how can it be possible to arrive quickly in a short time?
Therefore, even Itagaki Seishiro knew that this remaining force could only hold out for a little time under the two-sided attack of the new regiment. It would have been almost impossible to wait for a second reinforcement of ground infantry. Even if it is the third reinforcement of the Japanese air force, it will take time.
And Tsutsui Seiichiro smiled helplessly and said, "Haiyi, Your Excellency the division commander." Obedience! ”。
When Seiichiro Tsutsui personally sent someone to send a report, Seishiro Itagaki ordered the Japanese army to stop the attack and sent someone to ask the new regiment to surrender, and the request for surrender was also reached to the ears of Li Yunlong and Zhao Gang, who came out of the mouth of the Jinlong Gorge to supervise the counterattack.
At this time, Zhao Gang, Li Yunlong and others were commanding the troops to chase after Itagaki Seishiro's ass and attack, at this time, suddenly the Japanese army stopped firing and blocked, but instead sent people to ask for surrender, which made Li Yunlong and Zhao Gang look at each other a little for a while, and they couldn't believe it.
"Lao Zhao, do you think the old devil on the other side of Itagaki Seishiro is really desperate and surrenders to us?" Li Yunlong learned that the little devil sent someone to ask for surrender, and he didn't send anyone to continue the attack for a while, but after buying various troops to strengthen their vigilance, he said to Zhao Gang, the political commissar on the side.
Zhao Gang was born at Yenching University, and there is still a little ink in his stomach. What's more, Zhao Gang's military thinking ability is not very weak, he just shook his head after thinking about it a little.
"Unlikely, based on what we've gotten about Seishiro Itagaki as an old devil. This old devil's combat style is very tough, facing me Huaxia, he is very tough, and he vows to lead the army to destroy us. How could this old devil ask us to surrender? What's more, there are still seven or eight hundred people in the hands of the old devil, and it is still possible to hold on for a while. I think it's possible that the old devil is procrastinating for time. After all, once we surrender, Seishiro Itagaki will have the opportunity to ask for negotiations with us, and there are still a lot of variables in this back and forth. ”
When Li Yunlong heard this, he smiled and said, "Old Zhao, do you mean that you don't have to pay attention to Itagaki Seishiro's request to surrender and attack directly?" ”。
"To the little devils who ask for surrender, they demand that their subordinates surrender immediately and unconditionally, and lay down their arms and ammunition. Otherwise, the devil's invitation to surrender is a trap. When the time comes, we will immediately continue the attack, and we will not be able to give Itagaki Seishiro time to wait for reinforcements. ”
Zhao Gang thought about it and suggested, with the virtue of Seishiro Itagaki, how could he surrender to the new regiment? What's more, the new regiment is a Chinese army that has killed the four princes of the Japanese state, and it is very suspicious for them to surrender.
Sure enough, I saw Li Yunlong nodding, and immediately sent someone to respond to the little devil messenger.
The Japanese envoy who received Li Yunlong's response to the request for surrender immediately withdrew and reported directly to Seishiro Itagaki.
Seishiro Itagaki who was hiding among the trees next to a mountain road to command the remnants was rewarded, and frowned, "Yaga Ya Road, the new group is not fooled!" ", the old devil muttered to himself.
Since the new regiment was not fooled, Itagaki Seishiro had no choice but to order the remnants of the Japanese army to assemble and storm Lingpo Mountain again.
"Kill, kill, kill, rush, rush out!" Itagaki Seishiro personally commanded Tsutsui Seiichiro Shaosa, commanded the remnants of the Japanese army to attack Lingpo Mountain, and in his dying struggle, the color of madness was spread on Itagaki Seishiro's face.
Tsutsui Seiichiro also got the request of the new group, knowing that Itagaki Seishiro's plan to surrender had been easily seen through by the other party. Therefore, he could only bitterly follow the order of Itagaki Seishiro and wave the remnants of the army to storm Lingpo Mountain.
All of a sudden, the battle of Lingpo Mountain started again, the two sides fought each other at the foot of Lingpo Mountain and on the mountainside, the explosions continued, the bullets flew sideways, and the fight was very fierce.
However, as Itagaki Seishiro waved his army to storm Lingpo Mountain again, the two battalions and cavalry companies of the new regiment that fought back from the direction of the valley mouth of the Jinlong Gorge began to storm under the command of Zhao Gang and Li Yunlong.
The mortars carried by the army and the infantry guns directly pushed up from the rear were low to bomb the remnants of the Japanese army, and the remnants of the little devils who were bombed were crying for their fathers and mothers. More than ten minutes later, the remnants of Itagaki Seishiro were completely annihilated, and the old devil Itagaki Seishiro was captured on the spot.
