Chapter 736: Final Solution
In response to Nakamura Masataka's words, Du Moan sneered: "Nakamura Shaozuo, is your head broken?" Just your more than 300 and a half old men, how can you compete with the elite of the Eighth Road? The Ludong Second Regiment, your division and regimental headquarters are all like the gates of your own home, you can come and leave whenever you want. ”
"Some time ago, I also defeated most of your infantry brigades. Your so-called elite of the imperial army is not an opponent, just such a group of old men and half-grown children, how long can they resist? As for the breakout, what about the covering forces? Now that my men have either been crippled or are still fighting fiercely ahead, where can I draw covering troops? ”
"The reason why I came to Gaoping was because I listened to your demagoguery. Say that there are too many garrisons in Qinyang, and the benefits are not our turn. Although it is dangerous to come to Gaoping, it is a well-known rich area in the southeast of Shanxi. As a result, he is now running here to be a shield for his mother's grandson. Otherwise, Lao Tzu is doing well in Qinyang now. ”
"You're fucking stupid, but you're dragging me into the water. It's good now, all this bit of Lao Tzu's capital is folded here, and I'm just fucking running back and becoming a bare-bones commander who will fucking take care of me. Even you Japanese will throw me away like a rag. ”
For these insulting words of Du Moan, Nakamura Masataka wanted to shoot the case. In the past, this Shina person, who had always been respectful to himself, had never spoken to himself in such a tone. Who gave him such courage to speak in such a tone that seemed almost insulting to a dignified officer of the Imperial Japanese Army now?
But when he wanted to get angry, he turned around and saw that there were more than a dozen so-called advisers of the Japanese army beside him, and there were only three or four rifles in addition to the pistol. In front of this guy, there is also a guard company by his side that has not been used, and they are all his hardcore henchmen. Now tearing his face, he can only be unlucky. In an instant, the fire qi was suppressed again.
Thinking of this, Nakamura Masataka still gritted his teeth and said: "Du Jun, no matter what happens now, the key question is how to find a way to break through." There is a saying in your branch, which is called to stay in the green mountains without worrying about no firewood. As long as we can get out, I guarantee that your losses today will be fully replenished. ”
"The empire went south last year, from Henan all the way to the border between Guangxi and French Indochina, and seized a large number of weapons and equipment from Chongqing. Re-arm your troops as quickly as possible. As long as you have guns and money, it's not easy to recruit soldiers? But first and foremost, you, the commander, have to stand out. ”
"If you continue to complain about these useless complaints here, then we will either die here or be taken prisoner of the Eighth Route Army. When the time comes, you'll have nothing left. I think it's better to be realistic, and while they haven't hit here yet, we'll quickly find a way to break through. ”
Nakamura Masataka's words calmed down Du Mo'an, who had been in a rage before. Indeed, if you want to settle accounts after the autumn, you have to have a life to live. Now the gunfire around me is getting closer and closer, and if you continue to delay here, you will become a prisoner if you don't die.
When he was in northern Henan in the past, he was the sworn enemy of the local Eighth Road. Now if it falls into the hands of the Eight Roads here, will there still be their own good fruit to eat? Over the years, he cooperated with the Japanese army to carry out many sweeps of the so-called anti-Japanese base areas of the Eighth Road. How many Eight Paths died in his hands, I'm afraid it will be difficult for me to calculate.
In the last battle of Linnan, he shrank behind and let the old fox in Jincheng be a substitute for the dead ghost. This time, Hachiro's fist hit his head first. I guess I have to settle the ledger with myself. It would be strange if it fell into their hands and they didn't shoot themselves as hardcore traitors. Although I know that this account will have to be settled sooner or later, no one may want to die if they are alive.
Thinking of this, this old man didn't care about complaining anymore, and immediately concentrated his guard troops to prepare to break out. However, he is much more treacherous than Nakamura Masataka, and before he fled for his life, he also prepared a set of clothes for himself for the local people, which he carried by his personal guards.
Before leaving, he also changed out of the tweed military uniform wearing the rank of Wang Puppet Major General and put on a soldier's military uniform. The binoculars were gone, and the good horse that flew on the grass, which was nicknamed the other, was also lost. Carrying a Type 38 carbine and disguised as a soldier, he broke through with his brigade personnel.
His 16th Independent Brigade was the first batch of traitors who fell into the water in northern Henan. They are all composed of local militia groups, and they are closely linked to each other with clans and villagers as bonds, so the centripetal force is stronger than that of ordinary puppet armies. This is also the reason why his troops, the resistance is extremely stubborn.
And because of the reason why this guy defected to the enemy, he was also deeply appreciated by the Japanese, and his equipment was quite sophisticated. Although it is not all Japanese-style equipment, it is mainly based on domestically made equipment captured by the Japanese army and miscellaneous equipment originally used. However, his pistol battalion and guard company, which were composed of clan children, were fully equipped with Japanese equipment.
Compared with the Italian rifles that are heavily equipped by the troops below, as well as old guns such as Hanyang-made and Yuannian-style, the pistol battalion in his hand can be said to be armed to the teeth. And this guard company, which is his personal bodyguard, is even better equipped and quite well-trained.
But as early as in northern Henan, he had dealt with the local Eighth Route many times, and he knew that the Eighth Route had strong combat effectiveness. When facing the Eighth Road, whose murderous reputation was already outside, he didn't have much bottom in his heart. Therefore, when this old man broke through, he was also fully prepared, in addition to a soldier's costume, he also prepared a set of local peasant costumes.
As for Nakamura Masataka, of course, he was not stupid enough to break through in the uniform of his Japanese army Shaozuo, and he also changed into a puppet soldier's costume. Armed only with his own sabers and pistols, as well as a dozen so-called advisers planted by the Japanese army in this puppet army, he followed the last remnants of this puppet army, which is now like a lost dog, to break through.
As a result, as soon as this breakthrough team rushed out of its own headquarters, before it ran 50 meters away, it bumped into the third company of the 1st battalion of Liu Haishan, which had broken away from the main force and was diagonally inserted all the way down the street. This company of guards in Dumo'an is all his hardcore henchmen. They have all received strict training from the Japanese army, and their combat effectiveness is quite good.
Seeing Balu rushing over, he didn't have any fear of holding the weapon in his hand and quickly stirred up with Balu in front of him. This Dumoan brother has put a lot of effort into this guard company who cares for his home and nursing home. Not to mention anything else, in addition to the weapons are all 38-type horse rifles, there is also a barge gun made in each person's hand.
Although the company did not have heavy machine guns, it had five crooked machine guns and two grenadiers. Even on the head, it is a Japanese-made steel helmet, which can be described as quite well-equipped. The encounter between the two armies broke out in an instant on the street that was not open on the periphery of the brigade headquarters of the independent puppet 16th Brigade.
At present, the three companies have suffered one-third casualties because of continuous operations. Both the establishment and combat effectiveness have declined to a certain extent. The ammunition in the hand is also somewhat insufficient after continuous combat. But after seeing this well-equipped and rare puppet army wearing steel helmets in the puppet army, I knew that I had encountered the most elite core force of this puppet army.
This force, which was already quite tired, was immediately shaken from top to bottom. Although he did not have an advantage in strength and firepower at this time, he did not flinch at all and immediately fought fiercely with the puppet army in front of him. And the puppet army based on the breakthrough, although it is very unintentional to fight, but under the deadly entanglement of the three companies, it is quite difficult to move every meter.
Every house on the edge of the courtyard, on the street, and around the perimeter has become a battlefield where the two armies fight each other. The sound of gunfire, explosions, and the pain of the wounded* was incessant. Bullets, *, broadswords, *, and even fists and teeth became the objects of battle.
Although Du Moan and Nakamura Masataka were extremely anxious, the eight-way fight in front of them was extremely tenacious. His guards repeatedly attacked him, but he never opened the breach. And under the fire from the opposite side, the number of casualties is climbing rapidly. The old eight roads here, the fierceness of the style really lives up to its name.
In such a large part of the company, there was no way to beat him to the death with the most elite and best-equipped company. Both of them are veterans on the battlefield, and they know that as soon as the gunfire goes out here, the surrounding eight roads will rush over as soon as possible. In other words, there is really not much time left for yourself to break through.
If you continue to spend it here, and when the eight roads from other directions rush over, I'm afraid it will be really difficult for you to get out. After glancing at each other, under the protection of more than a dozen guards, they immediately tried their best to leave the battlefield without leaving a trace, and prepared to turn around and change directions. And that Du Mo'an also changed into his own countryman costume.
But before the two of them could turn around, a gust of rain thrown from behind them made the idea of these two fleeing directly and completely reimbursement. More than a dozen* exploded in such a narrow area, and they didn't even give these two a chance to dodge. By the time the explosion was over, there were only a few of these two people, along with a dozen or so guards of two people, who could still stand up.
Before waiting for the remainders, they struggled out of the pile of corpses. More than a dozen shiny bayonets had already reached the chests of these people. The people who stayed behind to catch the prisoners from behind were more than a dozen people. The rest of the people didn't even look at these unlucky guys, and pounced directly behind the puppet army that was fighting fiercely.
Du Mo'an, a guard company that had already suffered most casualties, and the remaining part of the people couldn't withstand the attack from both sides. There was a dense burst of gunfire and bayonets, and there were few people left standing. The remaining twenty or thirty puppet soldiers gathered together also completely lost their will to resist when they saw this situation, and directly disarmed and surrendered.
I don't have any objects to protect, and I'm still here to resist a bird. The life of the chief is fate, and their life is not also fate? After discovering that their commander had abandoned himself and slipped away, the morale of these puppet soldiers had already begun to decline. Now it is even more difficult to support a two-sided attack. Under the leadership of Adjutant Du Mo'an, he also dropped his weapons and disarmed.
With the capture of the brigade headquarters of the 16th Puppet Independent Brigade, the remaining puppet troops also lost the will to resist after hearing the gunfire falling from the command headquarters, and began to disarm and surrender one after another. After a morning of fierce fighting, the county town of Gaoping was completely occupied, and although there were still some troops outside the city resisting this puppet independent 16th Brigade, the main force had been completely annihilated.
