Chapter 269: The Battle with the Scarecrow

On June 9, 1938, the First War Zone burst the embankment at Huayuankou to release water, relieving the precarious Zhengzhou defense line.

The flood raged, tens of thousands of Japanese invaders drowned, and vehicles, tanks, baggage, and horses sank to the bottom of the water...... The remnants retreated eastward in panic, and burned alive the wounded, who had difficulty moving.

On 15 June, the Kwantung Army's 3rd and 13th Mixed Brigades were ordered to return to the northeast.

By the beginning of August, the 10th and 16th Divisions had also left for the Wuhan battlefield, and only the Tufeiyuan Division (14th Division) and the military police were left in the garrison of the Japanese in eastern Henan.

Lieutenant General Tu Feiyuan sat in Kaifeng, pulled up barbed wire along the east bank of the pan area, from Kaifeng to Huaiyang, all towns and cities have garrisons, and they are connected by pillbox strongholds, supplemented by cavalry and speedboat squads to patrol back and forth...... The end is as if sealed, without any flaws.

At the beginning of the establishment of the defense line, there were anti-Japanese troops from time to time, and by the end of the 38th year, it was gradually stabilized, and the puppet provincial capital was also moved from Anyang in northern Henan to Kaifeng in southern Henan.

There are both puppet provincial governments, and naturally there are puppet armies!

The puppet army is the product of the Japanese invaders' implementation of the principle of "using China to contain China", mainly composed of prisoners of war who can be reformed and strong men in the occupied areas, assisting the Japanese invaders in maintaining law and order in the occupied areas, forcibly requisitioning money and food, and exploiting the people.

There was such a puppet army in eastern Henan, which was pulled up the river defense line by the Japanese invaders to help defend various strongholds, and was also sent to the west bank from time to time to attack and harass the anti-Japanese army and civilians.

In the winter of 38, more than 1,000 puppet troops were taken by a squadron of the Japanese invaders to touch the Yellow Flood Area, but they were violently counterattacked by the First Division of the Provisional Cavalry of the National Army, most of them were killed and wounded, and the rest jumped into the river in panic...... No life is still alive!

Li Siwei heard this matter from Head Geng.

He still remembered the look of regret on the face of Head Geng at the end, "It's a pity...... They were transferred downstream! ”

The lower reaches were from Zhoukou to Jieshou, where the water was shallower and the floodplain area was wider, allowing the cavalry to make better use of their mobility.

This matter is not a secret, and all the puppet troops in eastern Henan naturally know about it.

Nanzhou Village is located in the southern suburbs of Weishi County on the east bank of the pan area, the flood on that day, the village was reduced to a ruin, until the autumn of 38, the Japanese invaders built a gun tower in the north of the village in the south of the village.

In the night, the lookout of the turret revealed beams of firelight, and its shape was faintly visible through the firelight - tall and hideous, like a giant beast.

There are six lookouts, each with two floors, and the bottom one is three to five meters above the ground, and there are laughs floating out of these two lookouts.

"Okay, it's the third bowl...... Harada-kun is a good amount of alcohol! ”

In this stronghold, only Xu Yunhan can talk to the little devil like this.

On the third floor of the turret, a table was placed in the center, the devil Cao Chang Sergeant Harada and the three military caucus were eating and drinking, and Xu Yunhan was accompanying him on one side.

Xu ...... Xu Jun,"

Sergeant Harada wiped the wine stains on the corners of his mouth, grabbed the chicken leg that was only gnawed with his left hand, wiped the wine stains on the corner of his mouth with his greasy right hand, looked at Xu Yunhan, and laughed drunkenly, "The courage of the empire...... Warriors naturally want to ...... Some uh...... Drinker! ”

Before the war, liquor was on the supply list of the little devils, and each little devil had eight taels of sake or two taels of shochu every day.

"That's, that's,"

Xu Yunhan nodded hurriedly, picked up the wine jar with a smile on his face and poured the wine carefully, "Laugh at a glass of wine, kill the city...... That's what a true warrior is! ”

Sergeant Harada was stunned and laughed, "Xu Jun, say ...... You can say that again! Good...... Good talent! ”

Sergeant Harada is a China expert, and because of this, Xu Yunhan, the small platoon commander of the pseudo-Kaifeng Garrison Regiment, can make him blue-eyed.

The other three military caucus didn't understand, they just hugged the chicken bones and gnawed on their heads...... It's not easy to find a few chickens in a nearby village!

Xu Yunhan was complimented, and his face was full of joy, "Harada-kun has won the award, and he has won the award...... The villain has admired the culture of the empire for a long time, and he has to ...... Harada-kun asked. ”

"Hahaha......"

Sergeant Harada laughed loudly, with a smug look on his face, "Wait for the courage of the empire...... Warriors conquered the ...... This land, the emperor...... The culture of the empire is also ...... will also ......"

"Smack......

Before Sergeant Harada's words fell, a gunshot vaguely floated in, Sergeant Harada was startled, and the alcohol suddenly disappeared by three points, and he shouted, "Yaga ......"

"Bang Bang Bang ......"

"Da Da Da ......"

There was a lot of gunfire, and a little devil hurriedly came down from the ladder, "Report, there is a battle in the direction of the county seat!" ”

"The county seat?" Sergeant Harada stood up suddenly, "Assemble the team!" Quick, assemble the team ......"

When the flood was raging, the 16th Division was trapped in the city and had to survive by airdrop, but was later rescued by the engineer unit of the 2nd Army.

At the headquarters, Tamura Shaozo had just laid down on the bed when he heard the gunshots outside, and hurriedly dressed and picked up his saber and rushed out.

"Bang Bang Bang ......"

"Da Da Da ......"

Flares rose from the embankment, and gunfire shook the sky.

"Woohoo...... Puff puff puff ......"

Bullets from the river rained down like locusts, hitting the fortifications, and smoke and dust flew everywhere.

"Woo Woo ......"

The bullets of the little devil shot at the black shadow on the surface of the river, but there was no movement, only the bullets hitting the surface of the river, splashing some water.

Tamura Shaoza hurriedly drilled into the fortifications and went straight to the lookout, murderous, "Ushijima-kun, what's the matter?" ”

"Shaozuo," Captain Ushijima, who was on duty, hurriedly greeted him, "and a lot of boats suddenly appeared on the river...... The fog was thick at night, and it was impossible to tell the number, but the enemy's fire was not weak. ”

Tamura Shaoza hurriedly raised his binoculars and looked at the river.

Flares pierced the night sky, and bright lights swept across the river, but it was still hazy.

In the haze, Tamura Shaozo couldn't see the reason after looking at it for a while, so he had to grit his teeth, "Stop first!" ”

"Stopped?" Captain Ushijima was stunned for a moment, and hurriedly hung his head and paused, "Hey! ”

After a while, the gunfire on the shore stopped abruptly.

On the surface of the river, in front of them were rows of rafts, and on each raft stood dense straw men, and the straw men were sandwiched in the gaps of the rafts one by one, and many of them were beaten beyond recognition, but they were still standing steadily.

At the front of each raft were two soldiers, who took turns firing their guns.

"Bang", you shoot; "Bang", I shot it...... Feebly.

Behind the flotilla was a row of large ships, more than a dozen of them.

On the boat in the middle, Regiment Leader Geng and Zheng Sanyang looked at each other, "Why don't you fight the little devil?" ”

"Staff Officer Zheng," Shi Meng and Ma Yue were full of excitement, "or the old men will go over directly!" ”

Zheng Sanyang's expression moved, but he still shook his head, "The little devil has cannons and fortifications...... What's the fight? ”

Head Geng also hurriedly shook his head, with a wry smile on his face, "We fought twice last year...... You can't fight with heavy weapons! ”

"Don't you guys still have a few machine guns?" Shi Meng was a little unwilling, and hurriedly pointed to the Min-24 heavy machine gun on the bow of the ship, "Rush ......"

"No way!" Zheng Sanyang hurriedly interrupted him, his face full of solemnity, "Have you forgotten the words of the head of the regiment?" ”

"Turtle's!" Shi Meng's neck stiffened, and he looked at Zheng Sanyang impatiently, "Then what do you say?" The old men can't rush up, and the little devils don't fight again...... What should they do, the head of the regiment? ”

"yes!" Lu Quanyou and Ma Yue also nodded hurriedly in agreement, "This is different from the plan......

According to the plan, the little devils will continue to fight, and the soldiers of the 66th Regiment will also accompany them to fight...... Make a big noise!

"Dog's little devil, so fucking cunning!" Zheng Sanyang scolded angrily, and groaned slightly, "Rush!" However, you can't really rush ...... Let all the shots go out, and after three shots, let the brothers on the raft in the first row all withdraw! ”

"Yes!" The generals were in good spirits.

In the fortifications on the shore, a group of officials rushed over, but they saw Tamura Shaozuo listening intently.

"Yaga!" Suddenly, Tamura Shaosa scolded angrily and glared fiercely at Captain Ushijima, "Ushijima-kun! ”

"Hey!" Captain Ushijima hurriedly hung his head and paused, his face was ashamed, "Just ...... The firepower of the people of China is indeed very ...... It's violent! ”

The other officials also nodded hurriedly.

Lieutenant Shinohara, who hesitated for a moment, also helped to explain, "Corporal Muto spotted the enemy's traces at the lookout post, and hurriedly fired a warning shot, and then, the gunshots of the Shina people rang out, and it sounded...... There should be no less than a thousand! ”

"Oh?" Tamura Shaozo was stunned, groaned slightly, and hurriedly looked at the second lieutenant Akiyama of the cavalry squad, "Akiyama-kun, your department is dispatched quickly......"

"Bang bang bang...... Dadada......"

"Woohoo...... Puff puff puff ......"

Before he could finish speaking, the gunfire suddenly became dense.

Tamura Shaosa was stunned, took three or two steps to the lookout post, subconsciously raised the binoculars, put them down dejectedly, and quickly turned around and looked at Lieutenant Takasaki, "Takasaki-kun, artillery fire is ready, you must not let them get close!" ”

"Hey!" Lieutenant Takasaki hurriedly took the order and left.

"Akiyama-kun," Tamura Shaosa looked at Akiyama again, "Your department is quickly dispatched to strengthen patrols, and you must not let the people of China touch the shore through the gap!" ”

"Hey!" Second Lieutenant Akiyama hurriedly took the order and left.

"Bang bang bang...... Shhh......h Boom Boom Boom ......"

At this time, the sound of cannons suddenly rang out, and the gunfire on the river suddenly fell, and there was a faint howl of misery.

"Bang bang bang...... Dadada......"

Gunfire also rang out on the shore.

"Bang bang bang...... Shhh......h Boom Boom Boom ......"

The water splashed on the surface of the river, and the straw men on the raft were blown into grass clippings, and the raft was also torn apart and flying all over the sky.

The big ship behind gradually moved away, and the soldiers on board were crowded, all of them howling hard, looking pained and miserable.

Regiment Commander Geng and several river defense officers who were in charge of supporting the boat were dumbfounded...... They are clearly not injured!

The sound of the cannon stopped abruptly, and the sound of the gunfire gradually dissipated, Tamura Shaozo secretly breathed a sigh of relief, and his eyes swept over the officials, "The night is too dark, and the enemy situation is unknown...... All ministries need to take strict precautions! As soon as the day dawns, there will be nothing to hide from the tricks of the Shina people! ”

"Hey!" The generals paused and promised.

Tamura nodded, turned around and went back to the headquarters, and as soon as he entered the door, he saw Staff Officer Captain Ash answering the phone.

Captain Ash was rushing to the phone and kept "hi hi hi ......", and out of the corner of his eye, he saw Tamura Shaozo coming in, and hurriedly said to the phone, "Your Excellency Dazuo, Shaozo has returned!" ”

When Tamura Shaozo heard that he was called "Dazuo", he hurriedly quickened his pace, hurriedly walked over, and took the phone, "Dazuo." ”

"Tamura-kun," Morita Daisa's familiar voice came from the other end of the phone, with a solemn look at this time, "Zhongmu was also attacked by the people of China just now!" ”

Tamura Shaozo was stunned, and hurriedly reported, "The people of China have also reacted violently against our defense area, and they have been repulsed...... However, the enemy situation is unknown for the time being! ”

"Hmm!" Morita Daisa seemed to breathe a sigh of relief, but his tone was still solemn, "Tamura-kun, your department still needs to take strict precautions...... This line of defense has been calm for more than three months, and now that the team is attacking, it seems that it is ...... What they want is not small! ”

"Hey!" Tamura Shaozo hurriedly promised, "Please rest assured." ”

After hanging up the phone, Tamura Shaoza sat at the table in a daze, his eyebrows furrowed...... What do the people want to do?

Qizhuang is in the south of Nanzhou Village, and there is also a turret at the entrance of the village, which reveals a little light in the dark night.

Qizhuang's houses have also collapsed a lot, and only most of the ancestral hall in the village remains.

In the ancestral hall, Miao Zhenhua wrung out the water on his trouser leg vigorously, and looked at Li Siwei who was twisting his trouser leg, "Leader, what do we want to do?" ”

Hearing this, more than 20 brothers who accompanied the team also looked at Li Siwei and were eager to try.

Li Siwei was stunned and groaned, "First of all, it must not be exposed...... Remember, this time is just like the raid on the Eagle Castle, and there is only hope of success if you hide your whereabouts. ”

The soldiers nodded hurriedly.

Li Siwei nodded and continued, "The second step is to slowly find out the surrounding situation. ”

"I'll go," Du Monkey hurriedly volunteered.

Li Siwei shook his head, "Lao Tzu is now a 'little devil', it is not appropriate to act alone, and it is better to wait until dawn to act!" ”

The night in March is not very cool, and the sky is brighter earlier.

At the river fortifications outside the county, Tamura Shaosa rushed over early, but Captain Ushijima was earlier than him, and had already arrived on the river with three clippers, and went straight to the floating objects scattered on the river, with a little excitement in his heart...... That's what we did last night!

The floating objects were only three or five hundred meters from the shore, and the three ships quickly rowed over.

Captain Ushijima could already see the floaters...... There are sawdust, there are grass clippings, there are ...... Belch!

Captain Ushijima was stunned, and the little devils were also surprised, "It's all wood and straw......"

"Yaga," Captain Ushijima scolded angrily, his face full of unwillingness, "Find!" Look carefully for ...... There is always something left behind in the Chinese people! ”

However, after searching for the floating objects in a radius of more than a mile, I found nothing!

Captain Ushijima was furious, but he had to take the team back to the shore and report to Tamura Shaosa, "Report Shaosa...... The people of China left no bodies or belongings. ”

"Oh," Tamura frowned, "It's okay......"

"Report!" Before the words fell, Second Lieutenant Akiyama hurriedly came, "Shaozuo, I found some rafts along the line......"

As he spoke, Second Lieutenant Akiyama hesitated, "That raft is full of scarecrows......"

"Scarecrow?" Tamura Shaozuo was stunned, and suddenly became furious, "Baga, ...... last night"

Hit a scarecrow?

"Move back," Tamura Shaosa suppressed his anger, "all move back......"
