Sir, what a big gain, this devil is actually a lieutenant general! Wang Guangming shouted excitedly.

They thought that they had always been a major general at most, but they didn't expect it to be a lieutenant general.

"Yaga, who are you?"

When Hakata Shigeichi saw Leng Jie and the others, he finally set his eyes on Leng Jie who was wearing the uniform of a Japanese lieutenant, because these 'imperial soldiers' in front of him were headed by Leng Jie.

And he spoke in broken Chinese, not Japanese, because he could hear that Wang Guangming was speaking Chinese.

"Shigeichi Hata?" Leng Jie asked, and after the other party nodded, he continued, "Introduce yourself, Leng Jie, the commander of the 54th Brigade of the 18th Division of the 54th Army of the Lower National Revolutionary Army. ”

"Is that you?"

Hearing Leng Jie's self-introduction, Hakata Shigeichi was a little surprised, and then he remembered how the headquarters of the 6th Division was cut off, and it seemed to be the same.

"It seems that Your Excellency has heard of it!" Leng Jie was a little surprised.

"Naturally, you are called the 'Shina Demon', and the former commander of the 6th Division, Gu Shoufu, was planted in your hands, but I didn't expect that I would follow in his footsteps.

Moreover, it was you in the position of Zhu Po Mountain that caused my troops to suffer heavy losses, and your kind of tunnel combat made me admire it very much.

I just didn't expect you to be such a young officer of China. "Shigeichi Harata may know his fate, but he is not so afraid.

"Thanks to your compliment, it's a pity that now you are my defeat." Leng Jie said lightly.

"It was indeed my carelessness to be defeated by your men, but unfortunately I couldn't kill you.

Your military talent surpasses that of most of your country's division commanders and army commanders, and if you are allowed to grow, you will definitely be a fierce opponent of the imperial army. Shigeichi Harata gave Leng Jie a high evaluation.

"You're not bad, you can fight all the way from Anqing here. If you can surrender, we will treat you well! ”

Leng Jie is not telling a lie, if a Japanese lieutenant general surrenders, the government will definitely not kill him, but will use it to hype up.

"Your Excellency said that it was a joke, how could the imperial soldiers surrender to the Chinese people." After saying that, Harata Shigeichi took advantage of the inattention of the Chinese soldiers next to him and shot himself directly.

Seeing that Hakuda Shigeichi committed suicide, Wang Guangming was a little annoyed, and realized that something was wrong when he saw the other party pull out his gun, but he still couldn't stop the other party.

"No, there's no way he's going to surrender!" Leng Jie shook his head and guessed this result.

In history, before the end of the Anti-Japanese War, it seems that there were really no Japanese generals who surrendered.

At this time, gunshots were also heard outside, and it was obvious that the Japanese army also sensed that something was wrong with the headquarters and came over to support.

Leng Jie immediately ordered, "Tie up the other adjutants and take them away, and take away all the useful things in the command." ”

Soon, the soldiers of the special service company quickly looted everything of value, and then the loot began to break through.

Because they were all wearing Japanese uniforms, in the melee, the Japanese army could not distinguish whether they were friends or foes, and there was an accident at the headquarters, and the leaderless Japanese army did not know how to counterattack at all.

Taking advantage of the chaos, Leng Jie led his troops to rush to the Japanese artillery position, cooperated with Li Qi's reconnaissance company, blew up part of the Japanese artillery, and then began to retreat.

At this time, the headquarters of the 18th Division also learned from the Jilong Mountain position that there was an exchange of fire in the hinterland of the Japanese army on Ruiwu Road, and the situation was unknown.

At first, Luo Guangwen didn't pay much attention to it, but when a telegram from the 54th Brigade came, Luo Guangwen was shocked.

"What? The 54 Brigade destroyed the command of the Japanese Hatada detachment? ”

Early the next morning, Luo Guangwen was shocked when he saw the news.

"Sir, this is a telegram from the headquarters of the 54th Brigade, saying that Brigade Commander Leng led the commando team to pretend to be a Japanese army and infiltrated the belly of the Japanese army last night, destroyed the headquarters of the Hatian detachment, killed the detachment leader of the Hatian detachment, Lieutenant General Hata Shigeichi, and eliminated hundreds of Japanese troops and destroyed part of the artillery of the Japanese Hatian detachment." The chief of staff replied with the telegram.

"Confirm to the 54 Brigade the authenticity of this telegram." Luo Guangwen said immediately.

"Brigade Commander Leng said that he captured Hata's command knife and his military uniform, and also took a photo... The chief of staff hesitated for a moment and said.

"Took a picture?" Luo Guangwen couldn't laugh or cry, what kind of operation is this, "The lieutenant general commanded the knife and immediately asked Leng Jie to send it to the division headquarters." ”

Luo Guangwen obviously wanted to confirm the authenticity of the news, and did not want to send a report to the military department and Chief Chen without verifying the news.

For this lieutenant general's command knife, Leng Jie knew that he couldn't keep it, so he also sent someone to the division headquarters very happily.

Luo Guangwen can share this credit, as long as he doesn't snatch Leng Jie's credit.

After seeing the general's knife sent by Leng Jie and the lieutenant general's uniform of the Japanese army, Luo Guangwen was convinced, and hurriedly sent a report to the military headquarters and the theater headquarters to report the results of the battle.

The destruction of the command system of the Japanese Hata detachment is a great merit, this is the credit of their 18th Division, and others will not want to rob it.

In Yangxin, Guan Linzheng did not know that the headquarters of the Japanese Botian detachment had been destroyed, but he also received a report from the front-line troops and found that the Japanese 9th Division was actually retreating.

Guan Linzheng was also puzzled by the retreat of the 9th Division of the Japanese Army, and he did not understand why the Japanese army retreated.

Could it be that the offensive of the 60th Army was too fierce?

But it won't take so long to retreat.

"Sir, could it be a ruse of the Japanese army? lure us into pursuit, thus ambushing our army on the way? Zhang Yaoming guessed.

Not only did he think so, but other generals were also suspicious, because the Japanese 9th Division was strong and would not retreat without a fight.

At this time, Guan Linzheng also learned that the four divisions of the 53rd Army and the 54th Army suddenly launched an attack on the Japanese army and pursued the Japanese army.

Thinking that he had a conflict with Huo Yuzhang because of the use of the 60th Army, he thought that Huo Yuzhang was deliberate, and planned to send a message to reprimand him.

But at this moment, a telegram from the theater command arrived at Guan Linzheng's headquarters.

"Sir, here's a telegram from the Theater Command, maybe the commander should take a closer look."

"What telegram? Let's just say it! Guan Linzheng said impatiently.

"Sir, the theater command asked us why we didn't take the opportunity to pursue the Japanese army!"

"Pursuing the Japanese army, what if you get hit? If you don't know how to fight, don't command blindly! Guan Linzheng was also a little unhappy.

"Sir, the telegram said that the Japanese army retreated because the headquarters of the Japanese Hatian detachment was destroyed, and the Japanese 9th Division was afraid of being encircled, so it chose to retreat. The Theater Command ordered our army to pursue and expand the battle on all fronts. ”

"Wait!" Guan Linzheng interrupted, "What did you say? The headquarters of the Japanese Hatada detachment was destroyed? ”

"That's what the telegram said, saying that the 18th Division attacked the headquarters of the Japanese Hatada detachment, killed Lieutenant General Hatata Shigeichi, and also captured his general's sword and uniform."

"How is that possible? Does the 18th Division have this ability? ”

Guan Linzheng couldn't believe it, you must know that the 18th Division almost lost the Fuchikou Fortress because of the escape of the former division commander Li Fangchen.
