Chapter 641: The Assassin
At this time, the Japanese army in North China suffered heavy losses. The soldiers are good to say, there are young people in Japan who have been brainwashed by ****. At this time, the Japanese army had not yet launched the Pacific War, and the military industrial enterprises in China and Northeast China were producing at full capacity, and they could also ensure the supply of troops. This war horse is different, it needs to grow up day by day, not to say that there is. The Japanese were reluctant to spend money to buy horses in Europe, and the domestic military horse farms alone were far from satisfying their needs, and it was not smooth to go to Mongolia to collect and grab horses. In this way, the limited military horses of the Japanese army can only be used to supplement the needs of the permanent divisions, like one. Units like the Ninth Division had no choice but to give priority to meeting the needs of pack horses, and after the loss of horses in the cavalry brigade, they could only wait slowly for replenishment.
The captain of the 1st Hoe Cavalry Brigade, Yamazaki Kiyonakasa, felt that today was a good day, and the god of war Lu Hang, who had disgraced the Japanese Army, was finally blown up, the news was also released, Yangge was twisted, and the firecrackers were also released.
With this in mind, Yamazaki Kiyonaka Saku was ready to report his request to Lieutenant General Yamaoka Shigehou. There is no way that his cavalry brigade is full of people, and the horses must be matched, but now there are only left, bladed war horses, and they can barely be organized into a cavalry squadron. How can this work? The activities of the Dirt Eighth Road are so rampant, in case there is an urgent combat mission, it must be a mistake!
When Yamazaki Kiyoshi Nakasa walked to the door of the small courtyard where Yamaoka Shigemu lived, he happened to see the room of the chief of staff, Cangmao Shuzo Osa, and the confidential staff officer, who had entered the division commander's room, and Yamazaki Kiyoshi knew that the chief of staff must have something important to do with the confidential staff officer to find the division commander, and it must be unwelcome to go in at this time, so he consciously broke up with the guards standing guard outside the courtyard gate.
As soon as he finished two sentences, there was a roar from His Excellency the division commander in the room, followed by a crisp slap, and then the sound of chairs and people falling to the ground.
Unexpectedly, the voice of His Excellency the division commander stopped abruptly, and there was no more movement. Kiyoshi Yamazaki waited outside the gate of the courtyard for about ten minutes, feeling that something was wrong, and the room of His Excellency the Commander was quiet and a little frightened, so he boldly entered the courtyard.
When I arrived at the courtyard, I saw that the house was unusually quiet, as if there was no one at all, and I smelled a trace of blood in my nose.
Yamazaki Kiyoshi knew that something was wrong, and hurriedly shouted loudly to the guards This is Yamazaki Kiyoshi's caution, you must know that this is a war year, and anything will happen.
If Yamazaki Kiyoshi does not call the guards to go in alone, in case something happens to His Excellency the division commander, it is very likely that Yamazaki Kiyoshi will be suspected when the guards arrive. Although it is likely to prove his innocence in the end, it is always bad to be suspected, and it is not worth it if any reckless guard shoots him in a fit of rage.
When the guards came out of the ear rooms on both sides of the mountain and heavy rooms, Yamazaki Kiyoshi led them into the residence of His Excellency the division commander.
The scene in front of him surprised Kiyoshi Yamazaki: the division commander, the chief of staff, and the confidential staff officer all fell to the ground, with a blood hole on their heads, and the ground was covered with blood.
Yamazaki Kiyoshi took a general look at it and found three holes in the window, looked up at the roof opposite, immediately grabbed the phone on Yamaoka's heavy desk, and ordered the cavalry brigade and division guards to immediately block the Huozhou Mansion and arrest the assassins. Then he called the baggage wing and the engineer wing living in the city, informing the two wing commanders that His Excellency the division commander had been assassinated, and asked them to order the troops to blockade the whole city and pursue the assassins, and asked the two wing commanders to rush to the division headquarters immediately.
After a while, the headquarters of the Japanese division in Huozhou Prefecture was already full of chickens and dogs, and groups of Japanese soldiers were running around the courtyard with flashlights, and the sound of passwords came and went.
Wait for the first engineer and the first hunger wing captain Shomura Yoshizo Nakasa and the first baggage soldiers. When the commander of the Ninth Wing, Toshio Ogata, arrived, Yamazaki Kiyoshi and the staff officers of the division headquarters who arrived first had already read the Ming transmission telegram that the confidential staff officer showed to Yamaoka Shigehou, and understood the reason why Yamaoka Shigemu roared before he died.
The three wing commanders looked at me and I looked at you, and finally decided to immediately report to the headquarters of the First Army and the headquarters of the North China Front the news of the assassination of Lieutenant General Shigehou Yamaoka, Cangmao Shuzo Daisa, and confidential staff officers, and requested that the temporary commander of the First Division be appointed immediately.
The situation was quickly figured out, and after the little devil near the West Gate received the order to block the whole city, he quickly rushed to the West Gate sentry post with the emergency assembly of the sentinels, and naturally found the body of the Japanese sentry at the West Gate, and the direction illuminated by the lights of the assassin motorcycles could be seen in the distance.
Immediately afterwards, the anomaly of the Japanese-owned bathhouse was also discovered by the Japanese patrol. Because under normal circumstances, the bathhouse was still receiving Imperial soldiers to take a bath at this time, and the closed door aroused the alarm of the patrol. So the words "Lu Hang killed the Japanese invaders here" were presented in front of the devil patrol.
Then the bodies of Kuroda Caochang and the devil consultant in the post office were also found by the devils who were searching all over the city. At this time, the three devil wing commanders all understood that they were in the first place in the 118th Brigade and the Mountain Artillery. When the Ninth Wing was heavily assigned to check the parachute jump point of the special combat team, the army aviation had already slipped away, and took a Zeng commander of the 118th Brigade hostage, rode a motorcycle into Huo County, sent this clear telegram at the Huo County Post Office, assassinated His Excellency the division commander, and then fled to the west.
While reporting to Major General Furuto Nagahide, commander of the 31st Brigade, and Major General Honchuan Province, commander of the 118th Brigade, the commander of the 318th Brigade and Regiment, the commander of the Devil Wing, the commander of the three devil wings, they asked them to order the strongholds along the way to intercept the murderer of His Excellency the division commander, and at the same time organize the troops to go out of the city to pursue.
The special forces of the Japanese army, that is, cavalry, artillery, engineers, and baggage troops, were basically stationed in Huo County, and the artillery wing was not in the city with the 118th Brigade. The 118th Brigade has only one infantry squadron stationed in Huo County, and except for this infantry squadron and cavalry brigade, the combat effectiveness of other units is limited. Kiyoshi Yamazaki had to bite the bullet and order the cavalry brigade and the infantry squadron defending the city to quickly go out of the city in pursuit.
Fortunately, there are enough cars, armored vehicles, and motorcycles in Huo County, which makes up for the lack of war horses in the cavalry brigade. What made Yamazaki Kiyoshi even happier was that at this time he learned that the North China Front Command heard the news that Lu Hang was still alive a few days ago, and immediately parachuted and airdropped a special operations squad trained according to the special tactics of the German army to assist the 118th Brigade in capturing the dead and bringing Army Hang back to life. After the arrival of this special operations team, the 118th Brigade had already completed cleaning the battlefield of the parachute jumping site, and they took a car to Huoxian City to join the headquarters of the 1st Hunger Division. Now he is stationed in the division headquarters.
After seeing the equipment of the special operations team, Yamazaki Kiyotomo had the confidence to let the special operations team take the lead, and he led the 19th Cavalry Brigade and the 118th Brigade to guard the infantry squadron in Huo County, and concentrated the war horses into a cavalry team, and the rest of the personnel took armored cars, cars, and motorcycles to chase them out of the west gate of Huo County in the direction of Lu Hang's escape.
