Chapter 260: The Expulsion of Hainan (3)
After some tossing, Bai Fei personally checked the gates, and with the help of his subordinates, he clearly returned the grain, poultry and other things looted by the devils to the local villagers. The local residents were very happy to see that the materials they relied on for survival had been recovered, some cried with joy, and some even asked to join their team to fight devils together, and their enthusiasm was very high.
Bai Fei saw that the people's hearts were available, so he gathered the masses and began to speak, the content of the speech was naturally the surface identity first, so that everyone could know and remember him; Then he took the opportunity to talk about the greed and cruelty of the little devil, in fact, the local residents had already appreciated this, and there was no need for him to say more; In the end, he promised everyone that he would soon drive out the Japanese troops who invaded Hainan and restore everyone's peaceful life.
Bai Fei did this, of course, not simply to show off or appease the people, he was more to increase his prestige in the hearts of the local people. After all, this is his base camp, and for a long time, he will rely on this place for development, and since he wants to develop here, he cannot do without the support of the local people, which is a very simple reason. In the past, he wanted to do this, but he didn't have the opportunity, and this time he took advantage of the opportunity to expel the Japanese troops on the island and expand his influence. He had already decided that he would come to the local area once he went.
The speech is simple, but the effect is good. After Bai Fei finished a few simple sentences, the crowd at the scene was very happy, everyone was full of confidence, and many people even looked at him differently, full of trust and worship. At the same time, more people raised their arms and shouted to join his ranks.
At this time, Li Hu came up and said: "Tuanzuo, I just received a telegram from Battalion Commander Li and Deputy Regiment Commander Wang, they have arrived at the predetermined position, and we should set off." ”
Bai Fei nodded, and said loudly to the crowd at the scene: "I saw everyone's enthusiasm for joining the army to resist Japan, and I am very pleased. However, we are about to go to Danzhou to fight, and it is inconvenient to accept new soldiers. After a pause, he added: "But don't be discouraged, I tell you that when we have driven all the devils away from the island, I will open the door to welcome you at Haikou." ”
After speaking, Bai Fei led people towards the outside of the town.
As I walked, I heard someone in the crowd shouting, "Down with Japanese imperialism!" ”
The crowd shouted: "Down with Japanese imperialism!" ”
"Drive the little devil into the sea!"
The crowd shouted again: "Drive the little devil into the sea!" ”
Someone else took the lead in shouting: "General Bai Zhenyu will win, General Bai Zhenyu is mighty!" ”
The crowd immediately shouted: "... Win! General Bai Zhenyu is mighty! ”
Bai Fei was surprised to hear this, and when he looked into the crowd, he saw several familiar faces, and those who took the lead in shouting were all brothers from the special combat team.
Li Hu came up, squeezed his eyebrows and said, "Tuanzao, my arrangement is not bad, hehe!" ”
"You!" Bai Fei couldn't cry or laugh when he was made, pointed at Li Hu and scolded with a smile: "Who told you to do this?" It's nonsense! With that, he took two steps and quickened the pace of his march.
If you don't hurry up, who knows what blushing slogans these bastards will shout later. What he did before was indeed to raise his prestige, but he didn't boast like this. In other words, although most of the residents in the town are just ordinary people, there are also some intellectuals and local villagers who are proficient in the world. Listening to them brag about it so shamelessly, and he was still standing on the spot, he Bai Zhenyu would be embarrassed.
It wasn't until he left the town and stayed away from the crowd that Bai Fei felt better. He called Li Hu over, scolded him again, and then led his troops all the way south and quickly headed towards Danzhou.
However, just as Bai Fei was heading to Danzhou, at the same time, a Japanese reconnaissance fighter in the sky was flying towards them from the south. It turned out that the Japanese brigade that had escaped from Jiaheli had not yet returned to the Japanese army's temporary camp south of Danzhou and reported the battle situation to his superior, --- Hirata, commander of the 2nd Infantry Wing of Taiwan, by telegram.
The commander of the Japanese brigade reported that "... The advance team was wiped out in a matter of minutes...", "By the time he finishes cleaning up the mess in the town, it's too late to come to the rescue...", describing the enemy's firepower as very fierce, the battle as very rapid, and so on. Although it is also in line with the actual situation, it is to clear him of the responsibility of not saving him when he sees death and escapes from the battle.
After hearing this, Hirata did not suspect it, nor did he hold him responsible, but immediately reported the situation to the brigade commander Shojiro Iida.
Shojiro Iida, who received the news, was taken aback, but at the same time had some doubts in his heart. Because two hours ago, he received a report from the navy that a small group of Chinese reinforcements had smuggled into the Lingao Sea area at night last night and had successfully landed, and according to the judgment, the other side was likely to support the Chinese defenders in Danzhou. So Iida Shojiro gave the order to the head of the 2nd Wing, Hirata, who was resting in rotation.
What needs to be explained here is that since the successful landing and occupation of Sanya, the Japanese Taiwanese mixed brigade has returned to its proud nature because it has progressed too smoothly. In order to allow their soldiers to get enough rest, but also to show their strength---- simply put, they think that it will not take so many people to capture the city, and they also have the arrogance of killing chickens and using knives. So it was decided that the two wings would take turns to attack the city and seize the land, today you contribute and I will rest, and tomorrow I will contribute and you rest. When it reached Danzhou, it was the turn of the 1st Wing to attack, so the 2nd Wing rested.
Because the report said that only a small group of Chinese reinforcements had landed, Iida Shojiro didn't take it to heart, and simply ordered Hirata Masashi to send a brigade to destroy the other side.
After receiving the order, Hirata Masashi doubled his strength on the original basis out of caution. Unexpectedly, even so, it still suffered a fiasco.
Iida Shojiro was a little angry in his heart, but the matter had come to this point, so he could only continue to upload the situation, and at the same time questioned the accuracy of the naval intelligence.
When the news reached Sanya, the supreme commander of the Japanese forces stationed in the Hainan occupation force, Commander of the Army's 21st Army, Antenley Rikichi, and Commander of the Navy's Fifth Fleet, Nobutake Kondo, immediately began to discuss the matter.
Nobutake Kondo, commander of the 5th Fleet of the Japanese Navy, said: "The information sent back from the maritime patrol from Haikou in the morning shows that this landing force is indeed small in number, but their artillery is very powerful. ”
Anteng Liji said: "Oh? How so? ”
It needs to be inserted here that although the Japanese army was very strong in combat during World War II and looked even more monolithic in the eyes of outsiders, in fact, the open and secret struggle between their army and navy was very fierce, and it basically belonged to the posture of looking down on each other and looking at each other's unpleasantness.
Therefore, Kondo Nobutake did not want to dwell on the losses suffered by the Navy this morning. But thinking that I was now in the same boat as him, carrying out the same orders, I finally decided to tell the truth.
According to sources, the Chinese troops who landed were only on ordinary cargo ships, but on the stern deck of the cargo ships, dozens of cannons were placed. This morning, the Haikou patrol encountered them at sea, and in the course of their pursuit, they sank a Coast Guard gunboat, and another light destroyer was also damaged, all thanks to the guns on their ships. ”
