The landscape of Mafang Town is still fermenting with the shock of the 16th Division of the Japanese Army!

After the Japanese units were taken away, the officers carried out the orders of His Excellency the brigade commander and searched the town separately. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 ｉｎｆｏ

This search, without much effort, the devil found the landscape of the corpses of the soldiers of the 20th Cavalry Wing in that alley!

The soldiers of the 20th Cavalry Wing, who thought they were superior and usually didn't want to deal with the infantry, also turned into a corpse landscape, and they were stacked into a round wheat straw stack, also outside the head and inside the feet, neatly placed, stacked several stories high!

Major General Kusaba Tatsumi no longer has to guess whether the 20th Cavalry Wing is pursuing in the direction of Heshun County, or in the direction of Shiguai Town in the south, he has already found the 20th Cavalry Wing, which is just a landscape of two corpses!

The old devil, Major General Tatsumi Kusaba, is completely crazy!

Think about it, since the Japanese army launched the war of aggression against China, it has been a triumphant advance, although there were heavy casualties on the battlefield of Songhu and the battlefield of the Battle of Caixinkou, but they were all big victories, and they all ended with the Chinese army retreating with hatred and the Japanese army attacking the city.

In the mind of the old devil Kusaba Tatsuki, it is impossible for the Japanese army to fail, they can capture wherever they want!

In particular, the elite 16th Division, whether it was fighting in the northern section of the Jinpu Road, or after being transferred to the Songhu Battlefield, captured Changshu, Changzhou, Danyang, Jurong, and Tangshan, and attacked all the way until it took the lead in capturing the main position of Purple Mountain in Nanjing, seizing the Zhongshan Gate, and the 16th Division, which was like a mad cow slaughtering, suffered defeats?

Now it's over, the elite 16th Division has suffered a heavy blow in the small town of Mafang in the depths of the Taihang Mountains, it is the kind of heavy blow that hurts the bone marrow!

Cavalry is much more laborious and expensive to train than infantry, and the Japanese army treats cavalry as a treasure. It's good now, under the command of Major General Kuama Chenji, the entire 20th Cavalry Wing was killed by the Eighth Route Army. It was as if these cavalrymen were not some noble cavalry of the Great Japanese Army, but a herd of pigs, not only killed, but also skinned and dehaired, smooth and neatly arranged!

Major General Kusaba Tatsumi suddenly felt a chill on his neck, as if his head was no longer his own!

If a cavalry wing is completely annihilated, someone must be responsible, and someone must apologize!

Kusaba Tatsumi instantly thought of accepting the punishment.

This old devil, don't look at the thousands of troops he commanded to kill those unarmed Chinese civilians and soldiers in the city of Nanjing, if he really made him apologize and ask for his own life, I am afraid that he can scare him into the crotch of his pants!

Major General Kusaba Tatsumi decided in an instant that he had to find a scapegoat!

So, Kusaba Tatsumi ordered a report to the division headquarters and the headquarters of the Second Army next to the landscape made of the corpses of the 20th Cavalry Wing, reporting the bad news of the collective jade fragmentation of the 20th Cavalry Wing, the two squadrons of the 1st Brigade of the 20th Infantry Wing, the machine gun squadron, and the artillery squadron of the brigade, and said in the telegram that the commander of the 20th Cavalry Wing, Toshimatsu Nakasa, was ordered to command the 20th Cavalry Wing and the 1st Brigade of the 20th Infantry Wing to take up the task of interspersing in a roundabout way, but Kasai Toshimatsu Nakasa was proud to underestimate the enemy. Abandoning flank cover and searching for the enemy, he led the cavalry wing to rashly break into Mafang Town, the ambush point of the main force of the 129th Division of the Eighth Route Army, resulting in the collective crushing of the cavalry wing and the two infantry squadrons, one machine gun squadron, and one artillery squadron advancing with the 20th Cavalry Wing, causing the heaviest losses of the 16th Division since it entered the battle.

Get! The old devil, Major General Tatsumi Kusaba, buckled the basin to the head of the dead Kasai Toshimatsu Nakasa!

This is still the Eighth Route Army that killed the little devils who entered Mafang Town, and Major General Kuaba Tatsuji didn't know the truth at that time. If I knew, I am afraid that I would disgust him even more, and let him die without a pension!

Kusaba Tatsumi is a middle-to-senior general of the Japanese army, and his mind is complicated and he thinks a lot. The other devil officers and soldiers were already numb at this time, and their actions were a little stupid and stupid, and they no longer had the elite posture of fast action, accurate marksmanship, and fierce stabbing that they usually had.

After the Japanese army took control of the commanding heights around Mafang Town, Major General Kuaba Tatsumi ordered the brigade guards and the troops directly under the 20th Infantry Wing to start clearing the landscape, and set up a large firewood pile in Mafang Town to burn the corpses of Japanese soldiers!

Under normal circumstances, the body of the commander of the 20th Cavalry Wing, Toshimatsu Nakasa, could not be cremated in Mafang Town, because he was of high rank and should be brought back for a mourning ceremony. Now Major General Kusaba Tatsumi has omitted this article, saying that it is Kasai Toshimatsu Nakasa's improper command, which caused the collective jade of the 20th Cavalry Wing to shatter, and the 1st Brigade of the 20th Infantry Wing suffered heavy losses, and the body was cremated on the spot!

This Major General Grassland Tatsuji is really ruthless!

The commander of the 20th Wing of the 19th Infantry Brigade, Nobuaki Ohno, like Major General Tatsumi Kusaba, was already maddened by the shock of the landscape in front of him.

Ono Xuanming was one of the main culprits during the Nanjing Massacre, and the 20th Infantry Wing led by him was called the "Ono Army", which slaughtered, raped and robbed in the city of Nanjing, and did absolutely bad things!

Now, in the smiling Mafang Town in the depths of Taihang Mountain, I saw the corpses of his brave and warlike subordinates piled up into a landscape, and the ground next to it was written with the blood of Yamato warriors "Blood Debt and Blood Repayment", which looked so eye-catching and dazzling, and there was a scene in front of Daye Xuanming that he led his troops to engage in barbaric massacres and barbaric rape in Nanjing City, and suddenly he was a little unwilling, suspicious, and repeatedly considered, the Eighth Route Army that ambushed in Mafang Town would be the elite of the Central Army that escaped from Nanjing City? Otherwise, why would words like "blood debt and blood payment" be written on the ground?

Nobuaki Ohno quietly told the brigade commander Tatsumi Kusaba about his thoughts, but it turned out to be scolded by Major General Tatsumi Kusaba at all, saying that there was no such possibility at all, the Eighth Route Army was a Communist Party unit, and the Central Army was a Kuomintang unit. It was the Eighth Route Army that ambushed here, it couldn't be the Central Army!

The old devil Xuanming Ohno, who was scolded, shook his head, trying to clear his mind, but it turned out to be in vain, and all that shook in front of him were the figures of those Chinese prisoners of war, civilians, and women who were slaughtered in Nanjing. They were all coming at him, as if they were going to tear him apart!

With a "bang", Ohno Xuanming Dazuo fell to the ground, foaming at the mouth, his eyes were closed, his face was as pale as dirt, and he was unconscious!

A landscape made of Japanese soldiers actually scared the murderous Ono Xuanming Dazuo to death!

The dignified Japanese Army Osa Nobuaki fainted to death, and a military doctor woke him up! Those little devils who were ordered to clean up the landscape and burn the corpses were no better, and when they moved the corpses, they found that there were tricks and mines arranged under the corpses, and as soon as the corpses were moved, they exploded, not only blowing the corpses apart, but also killing or injuring the little devils who carried the corpses! Later, the little devils didn't dare to move the corpse at will, so they had to let the sappers work and clear the treacherous mines before they could act!

In this way, the main force of the 19th Brigade of the 16th Division, which originally planned to quickly capture Heshun City and open up the Pingliao Highway, was delayed for three days in Mafang Town just by burning the corpses.

When the burning of the corpses was over, seeing that the morale of the troops was declining, that they could no longer continue fighting, and that they urgently needed to rest and replenish, Major General Kusaba Tatsumi had no choice but to send a secret telegram to the commander of the division, Lieutenant General Nakajima Imasago to report the actual situation of the troops, and asked His Excellency the division commander to report to Lieutenant General Kazuki Kiyoshi Kazuki, commander of the First Army, and General Toshiichi Terauchi, commander of the North China Front, so that the 19th Brigade could drive back to the station to rest and recuperate!

Major General Kusaba Tatsumi even said in his telegram that the soldiers who had seen the landscape of the remains of the 12th Cavalry Wing of the Eighth Route Army and the 1st Brigade of the 20th Infantry Wing of the Eighth Route Army in Mafang Town could not recover mentally in the short term, and they had to consider letting them return to China for demobilization, otherwise, the combat effectiveness of the 20th Wing of the 19th Infantry Brigade would be greatly weakened and their morale would be weakened!

The 20th Cavalry Wing was annihilated, and the 1st Brigade of the 20th Infantry Wing was killed by more than 700 people, which shook the headquarters of the Japanese First Army and the North China Front!

Major General Tatsumi Kusaba was only the brigade commander of the 16th Brigade of the 16th Division, and he did not know many of the circumstances. However, the commander of the First Army, Lieutenant General Kazuki Kiyoji, the chief of staff, Major General Iida Shojiro, the commander of the North China Front, General Terauchi Shouyichi, the chief of staff, the chief of staff, Okabe Naosaburo, and the deputy chief of staff, Kawabe Shozo, all knew that the ambush of the 20th Cavalry Wing and the 1st Brigade of the 20th Infantry Wing in Mafang Town was the hateful Eighth Route Army unit that killed Ishida Jinzo Daisa, destroyed the Taiyuan Airport, and attacked Shouyang City, and was not the main force of the 129th Division at all. The reason, not to mention that the 129th Division of the Eighth Route Army does not have such powerful firepower!

Only the hateful and mysterious Eighth Route Army troops, because of the successive battles and the capture of a large amount of Japanese-style equipment and ammunition, will the firepower be so powerful, and the Twentieth Cavalry Wing may not even have a chance to counterattack after falling into their trap!

Because of this understanding, both General Terauchi Shouichi and Lieutenant General Kazuki Kiyoji were worried that the main force of the 19th Brigade would be bitten by the Eighth Route Army again, so they immediately ordered Kusaba Tatsumi to lead his troops to retreat, return to Yangquan, and transport the car back to Gaoyi and Anyang, the original defense areas, to rest and replenish.

However, Terauchi Shouichi and Kazuki Kiyoji are both treacherous and cunning figures, and they can see the clues from the Battle of Mafang, that is, the scale of the Eighth Route Army is not large. Otherwise, they would not have spared the remaining two squadrons and the transport team of the 1st Brigade of the Twentieth Infantry Wing!

The retreat of the 19th Brigade of the 16th Division brought the Japanese army's sweep of the base area in the Shounan Mountains to an abrupt end!

However, the little devils did not retreat completely, and the independent mixed third brigade was temporarily deployed on the highway line from Xiyang to Yuci through Shouyang, and cooperated with the troops of the 10th and 9th Division left in Shouyang, and began to restore the stronghold on the highway line, build fortifications, and block the base area in the southeast of Shanxi Province on a road.

It's a ruthless move!

The wishful thinking of the commander of the First Army, Kazuki Kiyoji, must have been waiting for the end of the pacification operation to send heavy troops to launch a large-scale siege against the base bureau in the southeast of Jinjin! (To be continued.) )
