looked at the front with cold eyes, and they were tightly tied up and captured. No one thought that he was calm on his face at the moment, but he had already moved to kill in his heart. Even in this operation, his superior, the chief of staff of the First Army, repeatedly told him that he should at least show some superficial respect for this so-called friendly army.

We can't treat this army that is now part of the Nanking government in the same way that we treat the garrison. At least in order to intimidate these chinas, it is not possible to publicly execute officers or soldiers who are not in good hands. Keeping them loyal to the Nanking government would be more advantageous to the empire in the North China theater.

Even if it can't be used to fight against the Chongqing Army, but it can be used to stabilize the rear and deal with the Eighth Road, he has long been left behind. In the eyes of Tsuruta Nunan, these former Chongqing troops who had been transferred to Nanjing were not much different from those pseudo-garrisons in his eyes.

Even these troops who switched from Chongqing to Nanjing were not as reliable in his eyes as the puppet garrisons formed by the Japanese army in terms of loyalty and reliability. It is more severe at both ends of the first mouse. Especially as a China expert, I still see very clearly these miscellaneous generals who have guns and are grass kings.

In his opinion, these puppet army generals who have always pursued profits. If someone gave them richer territory, or greater benefits, they would not hesitate to betray Nanking, and even betray the Imperial troops they were fighting with, and turn to their new masters, and flatter them.

originally looked down on these puppet soldiers, and at this time, in extreme anger, he had already thrown the advice of his superiors behind him, and at this time he had already moved to kill in his heart. At least in his opinion, it is also necessary to teach some lessons to those pseudo-officers who fight with him. The means of killing chickens and monkeys must be used when they should be used.

He has already made up his mind in his heart to teach these puppet soldiers a lesson. whispered to the captain of the Japanese army beside him. When Tsuruta Nunan's voice fell, I saw that the captain was also a little hesitant on his face. But in the end, he still carried out Tsuruta Numasu's order.

Let his subordinates, all the officers in the puppet army captives who were released by Li Ziyuan, be dragged out. At the same time, in order to avoid a rebound from the puppet army that was assigned to fight on its own, two squadrons even added machine guns to the puppet army that cooperated with the puppet army in one regiment. Once these puppet armies have the possibility of change, his subordinates will not hesitate to suppress them.

After the deployment was completed, the wolf-like Japanese soldier held a rifle with a bayonet and stabbed directly at the puppet army officer who was dragged out and had no ability to resist at this time. The officers in the puppet army who were released by Li Ziyuan, except for the battalion commander, the remaining more than 20 officers were all picked with bayonets.

After these officers were stabbed down, the Japanese soldiers who participated in the assassination were afraid that they would not die, so they picked up their guns and went up one by one to repair their knives. None of these puppet army officers stopped until they were sending * or moving. The corpses stabbed with bayonets were covered with holes, and a large amount of blood flowed down the mountain road until it reached a small pit, forming a puddle of blood.

These puppet army officers who originally thought that they had their own commander-in-chief and would have nothing to do even if they lost the battle, but they did not expect that the Japanese army had no intention of letting him go at all. One of the most miserable captains and officers was even stabbed with more than a dozen bayonets, and the screams could be heard hundreds of meters away.

And the puppet soldiers who were also released over there were stupid by the tragedy of this scene. The battalion commander who escaped death was directly frightened. The puppet regiment that fought with them by the side of the Japanese army, from the regiment commander to the ordinary soldiers below. Looking at more than 20 corpses and the blood and water in one place, they all showed a sad expression of a dead rabbit and a fox.

These officers were all their colleagues, and they were transferred from Luxi to northern Henan. Originally, I thought that this time I had my own territory, so I didn't have to be conservative and discriminatory, and the troops could have enough to eat. But I didn't expect that no matter how good the Japanese promised at the beginning. But when it comes to love songs, killing them is still like killing chickens, and I don't treat them as human beings at all.

Knowing this, it is better to learn from his colleagues who are unwilling to participate in the peace movement and directly pull the troops away. Although they were also discriminated against there, and they were worried about whether they would be disarmed and annexed by the Central Army, at least they would not be killed like chickens and not taken seriously at all.

It's just that under the pressure of the bayonets and machine guns of the Japanese troops on the periphery, I can only watch helplessly. None of them thought that the Japanese would kill them when they said they would, and they didn't leave any room at all. So many officers were killed directly, and they died so miserably.

After watching themselves deal with these puppet army officers, all the puppet soldiers showed a look of fear. Tsuruta Numanan, who was standing there with his saber, said indifferently: "This is what happens if you don't fight hard." From now on, all the people who are ineffective in fighting and let go of the Eight Roads will all die and die. ”

"I heard that there is a military sitting method in Chongqing, and I also appreciate this sitting method. Today, I will also implement this method of joint sitting here, and then there will be those who retreat to kill the officers first, and then the soldiers. Today's practice is also a long memory for you Shina people, the imperial army has never raised waste. ”

After saying that, Tsuruta Numan asked the frightened battalion commander to take away, and he needed to understand the retreat direction of the Eighth Road. As for the other puppet soldiers, they were handed over to the puppet commander who cooperated with him in battle. It's just that Tsuruta Numan didn't know that his practice of killing chickens and monkeys with his hands had planted a heavy shadow in the hearts of these puppet soldiers.

The battalion commander who was slaughtered by Tsuruta Numan to his subordinates and was frightened was already piled up, and naturally had something to say about Tsuruta Nunan's questioning. not only explained Li Ziyuan's movements clearly. Even how many weapons and equipment he lost and how many of his subordinates joined the Eighth Road were all clearly explained.

After the pseudo-battalion commander finished explaining, Tsuruta Numan patted him on the shoulder with a calm face. Just when the commander of this puppet army battalion thought that the fierce and vicious Japanese officer in front of him would let him go. But no one expected that Tsuruta Numan suddenly pulled out his command knife, and with a quick turn and slashed, he directly chopped off the upper body of the battalion commander.

After slashing the puppet battalion commander with a knife, he looked at the corpse on the ground that was broken into two ends. The corners of Tsuruta Nunan's mouth twitched unconsciously, turned to the Japanese captain beside him, and gave the order to search and advance to the northeast at the junction of Huguan and Binh Thuan. At the same time, through the radio, the other two Japanese troops who were encircling in the direction of Shili Ridge issued an order to sweep in the same direction.

Looking at the corpse of the puppet battalion commander who was cut in two by Tsuruta Numan in front of him, the Japanese captain who was unfortunately splashed with blood. In my heart, I was extremely dissatisfied with this guy who had just been promoted to Zhongzuo. While secretly scolding Tsuruta Numan for not being at home and not knowing the price of firewood and rice, he was also very dissatisfied with Tsuruta Nunan's order.

In the eyes of this captain, although these officers of the puppet army are worthless, they can supplement the lack of troops when they are stationed. At least when fighting against the Eighth Road, these puppet armies are still a force that can be borrowed. One of his infantry brigades was stationed in five counties.

In addition to the county seat, important market towns and communication routes were stationed. His brigade of troops was scattered over so much territory like a handful of pepper noodles sprinkled into a lake. In order to draw out their own brigade in this sweep, the division did not make much effort.

In order to mobilize troops to participate in the sweep of the Linxian side and the Taihang base area, the 36 th Division has been following the orders of the North China Front since the end of last year. On the one hand, the puppet army is expanded, and on the other hand, the defense area is constantly shrinking. Only then did they squeeze out part of their mobile forces and participate in a sweep in both directions.

Even with the addition of other troops drawn from the First Army and the 35th Division of the 12th Army, the strength of the troops is not very sufficient. Under the circumstance that the puppet garrison in the southeast of Shanxi Province was insufficient in strength and its combat effectiveness was even worse, the North China Front Army also specially mobilized two Nanjing government troops from northern Henan to participate.

Before these people defected to the Nanjing government, they had already threatened not to participate in the war against Chongqing. Therefore, these former Chongqing troops who were absorbed by the Nanjing government were generally transferred to the direction where they needed to fight the communist army. At present, these Nanjing troops are carrying out a large part of the combat tasks in the base areas behind the enemy lines on the Eighth Route.

Without the cooperation of these chinas, his infantry brigade would not have been able to draw out even a small squad of mobile troops. In order to ensure that these people did not change, the North China Front issued orders to various divisions and regiments before this sweep. It is required that these Nanjing troops must not be killed or disarmed at will.

At the very least, it is necessary to give due respect on the surface, and on the premise of controlling the replenishment of ammunition, the various departments should be allowed to expand their strength. But this old brother Tsuruta Numan seems to be fundamentally inappropriate for these requirements of the North China Front. He is also a person who has served as an intelligence staff officer in the garrison division, and there are some things that he should not be unclear.

Although these people are all guys at both ends of the first rat, at least the current strategy of the empire in China still needs their cooperation. When he killed those officers who were released back by the Eighth Route before, he didn't know what the puppet army officers around him felt in their hearts.

But he could see the expression on his face, the kind of horror and even a hint of anger in his eyes, he still saw it. Now that he has killed this battalion commander with another knife, wouldn't he tell those puppet army officers bluntly that they are also within the scope of execution at will?

This will cause the morale of these puppet soldiers to fluctuate, and even cause a large number of mutinies. And without the cooperation of the puppet army, how could this operation be carried out? Doesn't he know that even if he draws the strength of three infantry brigades. However, for such a large mountainous area, the number of troops is still quite insufficient.

Without the cooperation of these people, how can I fight this battle? These Eight Routes are not the government forces of China, and their actions are extremely strange. If you have the chance, they will fight, and if you don't have the chance, they will quickly slip away. There are not enough troops, and it can only be a fool's dream to solve them.

What's more, now that he has made such a move, he not only splashed his own blood, but also mobilized his already tense troops to guard against the rebellion of these puppet armies. It's impossible to disarm these guys right now, but here's the problem. can't disarm, and now there is such a thing. He, Tsuruta Numa, came this time, is it specifically to make trouble for himself?
