Chapter 579: The Third Division is provisionally formed
came with confidence and momentum, but now even walking in the gray has become a luxury.
This is the true feeling of Tanaka-kun and his heart at this moment.
He couldn't figure out how the Imperial Army, which had been almost invincible and invincible for three years, had become a soft-footed shrimp here?
The entire wing did not even beat a small Xinghe, and only more than 100 people fled back in embarrassment.
And the wing under his personal command was also in a predicament at this time.
No matter how bad the puppet army of those two regiments is, it is more than 3,000 soldiers with real guns and ammunition in their hands, but they don't even play the role of delaying some time, and they are slaughtered.
If he continues to fight like this, even if he can return alive in the end, his fate can only be the same as that of Sakamoto Haru, waiting for the trial of the military department.
The chances of surviving are smaller than those of soldiers on the battlefield.
After several mental struggles, Tanaka still gave the order to retreat.
After paying the price of nearly 1,300 lives, Tanaka finally got his wish and fled with more than 2,000 remnants of the defeated army.
In contrast, Haruto Sakamoto, who was sent to the grassland to check on the plane, was not so lucky.
This unlucky guy rushed to the grassland with three trucks and a squad of Japanese soldiers, but as soon as the car drove more than ten miles, he collided head-on with the three companies that came to attack Tanaka-kun and the headquarters.
At times like these, no language is as real as a bullet.
Nearly 500 people against 50, and under the premise that the weapons and equipment are not bad at all, the fate of Sakamoto Haruyu can be imagined.
The dignified Wing Commander didn't even have a chance to duel the enemy's commander before he was beaten into a sieve by a flurry of gunfire.
The command knife that was half drawn was stuck in the scabbard forever, and the eyes full of unwillingness could only be fixed on the blue sky and white clouds seen at the end.
Utter darkness enveloped him completely, and with it the sinful life ended.
Sakamoto Haru couldn't believe that he would be beaten so badly by such a team that couldn't even find the number, so miserable that he was disgusted by Amaterasu after he died.
However, this is the truth.
It seems that from the very beginning, all their actions were under the nose of the enemy, and there were no secrets at all.
All the combat deployments seem to be firmly grasped by the enemy, and those so-called flaws are in fact used by the enemy to make them pay for their arrogance.
However, life is gone, and everything is meaningless.
And for Song Zheyuan, Liu Cheng and Zhou Zuopeng, as well as all the soldiers who are still alive, this is great luck.
In the current situation, a victory does not play any role in affecting the overall situation, and this war will not end early;
Especially for those who survived, this tragic victory gave them the greatest luck, that is, they were still alive!
To be alive is the greatest happiness.
At such times, there is no point in saying nonsense such as "the mission and responsibility of a warrior is to fight and sacrifice", only the word "alive" is the real meaning.
Song Zheyuan, who had not yet returned to Zhangjiakou, heard the news, and immediately turned around and returned to Taolin, where he wanted to celebrate with the soldiers who had just won the victory!
For Song Zheyuan and all the people of Chahar, this victory is what they have been looking forward to.
Ever since the little devil occupied Rehe, he had been fighting the idea of Chahar.
Small- and medium-sized battles have been fought more than a dozen times in the course of the year, and each time the result is that the 29th Army suffers a little loss, but it can only endure it.
Jinling does not support it, and the combat effectiveness and weapons and equipment of the troops are far inferior to the Japanese army, even if Zhuge is alive, what can he do?
Although there were heavy casualties in this battle, more than 1,900 people from one regiment of the 110th Brigade, the 109th Brigade, and the Second Provisional Division were killed in this huge battle.
But Song Zheyuan was still very happy.
The little devils didn't dare to seize Chahar openly, they just wanted to force Song Zheyuan through such means, forcing him to announce his accession to Manchukuo or erect a big banner himself.
Although they attacked under the banner of suppressing bandits this time, as long as Song Zheyuan could persuade Liu Cheng and Zhou Zuopeng to accept the incorporation in name, the little devil's loss would only be a dumb eater of Coptis chinensis, and he would have to swallow it in his stomach if he knocked out his teeth.
After all, now they are not well prepared, and they still lack the strength to openly provoke a war.
It's just that this also buries hidden dangers.
The next time the Japanese attack Chahar again, there will be no more reservations.
But Song Zheyuan couldn't take care of it so much, and the pressure of the situation forced him to only take care of the present first, as for the future.
Hehe, let's live until later.
The bald attitude and the situation in Jinling that were almost chaotic were not only visible to him, but also to the Japanese.
And these are the real reasons why the Japanese are becoming more and more unscrupulous.
A country that is disunited, weak, and accustomed to bullying is a piece of fat in their eyes.
It's just that they are just rats with saliva in front of a large piece of fat, and they want to eat it, but they are afraid of dying.
So, they need time to prepare, they need time to gradually encroach, they need time to completely enslave the people of the land that they have occupied, to educate their children to be what they want......
And when the time is ripe, the greedy mouse will swallow the fat whole and slowly digest it in the stomach.
What Song Zheyuan has to do is to turn himself into a bone and kill the throat of the main mouse, so that he can't swallow anything.
As for how long it can be stuck, Song Zheyuan doesn't know, and no one knows.
After seeing Liu Cheng and Zhou Zuopeng, Song Zheyuan immediately told the two of them his thoughts, and planned to give the two of them the number of the provisional third division, so as to deal with the Japanese and gag their mouths.
The truth of the matter is clear to everyone, but the layer of window paper cannot be pierced for the time being.
If this is not done, the Japanese will definitely be endlessly with Jinling, and the final outcome is likely to be that some people will continue to put pressure on Song Zheyuan to hand over Liu Cheng and Zhou Zuopeng in order to avoid losses in their own interests.
According to Song Zheyuan's prediction, Zhou Zuopeng should not have much disgust with this proposal, but Liu Cheng will definitely not agree easily.
But to his surprise, the first one to say yes was Liu Cheng.
Facing Zhou Zuopeng's puzzled expression, Liu Cheng smiled:
"Can you accept us without any hesitation for the sake of resisting Japan, and we will refuse to retreat for the sake of a number? Then you may be underestimating me and Master Zhou too much. ”
