Chapter Seventy-Nine: The Doubts of the Japanese Army
"Assassination? It must be an assassination! Most of Yokota and his troops were assassinated by the enemy in the bed! Ito exclaimed.
"Shao Zuo, I didn't believe it originally, but from the wounds and bruises, I can only explain it this way, the focus of my study in the military academy is investigation, and it also involves the knowledge of police detection, I believe that there is only one possibility." The subordinate of the infantry brigade, the adjutant, said in a low and sad voice.
"Huh? It's incredible! ”
"What kind of person is the enemy, and he can assassinate so many people one after another."
"Are they still ninjas?"
"There are a lot of people in China who sneak attack together? Out of the blue? Before, they had to assassinate our sentry, right? Such a powerful assassination, what kind of stupid person can do in the Chinese army? Their tactics are poor. ”
The Japanese officers and soldiers present had a lot of discussions.
"By the way, it must have been done by the military commander, we have intelligence that the military commander has set up an armed special forces to fight us on the battlefield, they are good at assassination and sneak attacks, damn it!" Lieutenant Kaoba Hashimoto tried his best to show his profound knowledge and also wanted to help Captain Ito Shosa clear his mind.
"To the west, to the west, it must be like this! It must be so! Ito thought about it for a long time, but he couldn't find a more convincing answer.
The Chinese Qinghong Gang and other elements were good at attacking, but they were mainly gathered in Songhu, and they did not have the courage to attack the Japanese combat units, let alone quietly assassinate a squadron.
Observing the scene again with a flashlight, Ito exclaimed: "The enemy attacked them first, then bombarded them with grenades, and strafed with machine guns!" These craters and steel fragments were bombarded with grenades. ”
A Japanese soldier asked: "Your Excellency Shaozuo, the Chinese army does not have grenades, they only have grenades, and the two kinds of fragments are different." Judging from the posture of the officers and men of our army and the wounds on their bodies, they were fatally injured by grenades, could it be that our imperial army troops themselves were injured by mistake? ”
Kazuha Hashimoto is also worried about this: "The people of Shina are not capable of doing this!" Shaozuo, our troops are rushing to enter the city, the situation is too chaotic! ”
Ito Shaozo sneered: "Could it be that during the battle, the officers and soldiers of our army did not make a little sound?" In the night battle, even if there is a misunderstanding, with the help of the voice, the two troops can communicate quickly. I confirm that this is a unit of the enemy, the most elite unit, it must be the special forces of the German Division, at least an infantry platoon, they disguised themselves as our troops, suddenly approached, suddenly attacked, and, they must have been Japanese, they blinded the sentries, were accepted, entered the core of the place where our squadron Yokota was stationed, and then made a surprise attack. During the attack, our soldiers were alert, and the Chinese army bombarded with grenades that robbed our army, and the dozen or so imperial soldiers were killed in this way, after which the sentries on the periphery of our army returned to the battle, and were strafed by the enemy's machine guns, and suffered heavy losses......"
Before Ito's reasoning was completed, the surrounding Japanese officers and soldiers were furious and geared up to avenge the victims.
"Shao Zuo, we will carefully search this neighborhood, and we must not let those enemies escape!"
"That's right, the enemy's troops will not be less than one infantry platoon, so many troops, it is difficult to hide, most of the common people in China hate these troops, the discipline of the troops in China is extremely poor, and there has always been no distinction between soldiers and bandits. The soldiers can't stay in the homes of the people, and we can find them quickly. ”
"Your Excellency Shao Zuo, I suggest that you don't track down those Chinese troops, just surround the neighborhoods and alleys in this area, search carefully, whether it is soldiers or civilians, not a single one is left, and all of them will be killed!"
"Yes, yes, revenge, revenge!"
Ito Shaosa and Kazuha Hashimoto muttered for a while, wiped away their tears, and said impassionedly: "All officers and soldiers, listen, we are now, immediately contact other squadrons to gather here, and then, divide the area overnight to sweep, and be sure to destroy all the enemies who hurt my squadron of Shunji Yokota!" I repeat, for the sake of revenge, for the sake of deterring the Chinese people, you have the right to act freely in the face of any Chinese people! ”
Japanese officers and soldiers shouted one after another.
The personnel of the headquarters led by Ito Shaoza were nothing more than an infantry squadron and a large brigade headquarters, the brigade headquarters only had the number of squads, and the real combat soldiers were only two squads, plus an infantry squadron that had lost a lot of more than 150 people after fighting.
The total strength of the Japanese army was 180 people.
Ito immediately commanded the radio station with Kazuha Hashimoto, and contacted other squadrons, which had a total of four infantry squadrons, a cavalry squadron, a heavy machine gun squadron, a mortar squadron, and an artillery squadron, which were much more integrated than the Chinese army.
Shunji Yokota's infantry squadron was destroyed, and Ito hurriedly called on the radio to bring the other squadrons together.
The first is to ensure safety, and the second is to clench into a fist to carry out encirclement and sweep tactics.
Hashimoto commanded the telegraph corps to make contact, and Ito repeatedly observed the murderous scene with a flashlight, "It's too hateful, it's too terrible, it's not to be hateful!" I still think that the raiders of the Chinese army were more than a company, at least a hundred people, and they were divided into three parts, one part assassinated, one part was silent, and the fire was suppressed at all times, and one part was prepared using grenades that robbed the imperial army...... I couldn't even report the situation to the Wing Commander, otherwise, the Wing Commander would have scolded me to death, and after such a fierce battle before entering the city, my infantry brigade did not have such a big loss, and after entering the city, a squadron disappeared! ”
The troops were all connected, and they were all intensifying their concentration, and Ito and others sorted out the bodies of more than 100 people including Shunji Yokota.
"What? Got survivors? Come on, please come here! ”
Ito Shaosa Daiki.
Three Japanese soldiers came, and they fell to their knees crying: "Squadron Leader, Squad Leader, Hirono-kun, Yokota-kun, Kojima......"
Ito impatiently reprimanded them, venting all his anger on them, slapping a soldier in the face from side to side.
Ito also kicked away a soldier with an aggrieved face.
After the anger is over, Ito still has to interrogate well.
"Your Excellency Shaozuo, we were attacked by the enemy's unidentified troops, the number of people, ahem, there must be a lot, we heard the explosion, hurried back, we were strafed by the machine, the battle around us was shot and screamed, we were in the dense rain of bullets, in the sound of violent explosions, we had to retreat." The three soldiers explained.
Ito held back his anger, forgave their incompetence, and asked the most crucial question: "How many enemies do you estimate?" ”
The three soldiers hesitated: "It is estimated that there is a company, at least more than a hundred people at night, and it is not clear to see, maybe there are more enemies." By the way, they use the weapons of our imperial army. ”
Ito nodded and asked the three of them to roll aside: "That's right, the Shina soldiers really pretended to be our army to carry out a sneak attack, insidious and cunning, despicable and shameless to the extreme!" Hello, Hello, then our Imperial soldiers are welcome! ”
