Chapter Ninety-Six: Beating the Reservoir Dogs
When Second Lieutenant Mitsuo Ogasawara, the leader of the first squadron of the second squadron, received the order from Seiichi Kawakami, the whole person stood there as if he had been struck by lightning, unable to speak for a long time. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info
After a long time, he said to the herald in a low voice: "Please tell Your Excellency the Squadron Leader that all the officers and men of my first and second squads will definitely live up to the trust of His Excellency the Squadron Leader, fight bravely, and resolutely complete the task!" The Great East Asia Holy War will be won! Long live His Majesty the Emperor! ”
The herald looked at him solemnly, then stood upright, saluted a standard military salute, and whispered, "Second Lieutenant Ogasawara, please!" After saying these words, he didn't wait for Ogasawara Mitsuo to continue talking, he turned around and hurried back to his life. It will be a battlefield of blood and fire in a while, and it is not difficult to predict that Ogasawara Mitsuo and the remnants of the first and second squads of more than fifty soldiers will all die here without exception. His Excellency the Squadron Leader finally gave a big order to retreat, and with this chance to save his life, the fool stayed here and waited for death!
Ogasawara Mitsuo is now like falling into an ice cave, and his heart is like ashes. He knew in his heart that he was now a pawn in the entire chess game, and all his fate was in the hands of his superiors, and he had no chance to choose by himself. Now, the last moment has finally come, and I have finally become an outcast.
After hastily arranging the blocking forces, Kawakami Kiyoichi and Kawamoto Momori did not dare to delay for a moment, quickly gathered the remnants of the troops, and tried their best to attack the northern defense line of the Eighth Route Army, wanting to open a breakthrough and retreat in the direction of Luojiadian.
Luojiadian was stationed the main force of a wing of the Fifth Division of the Japanese Army, with more than 2,000 troops. Once the two Japanese forces are combined, the advantage of the Eighth Route Army in terms of strength will be negated, and at that time, it is basically impossible to eat the independent second garrison brigade again. If you don't get it at that time, you will be bitten back by the Japanese army.
Before the battle was launched, Cheng Sankui and Ge Wu basically placed the main forces on the east and west lines, the east road was responsible for the bottom line, and the west road was responsible for collecting the net after a detour and piercing into the pocket of the pocket formation, so that the defensive forces of the north and south lines were naturally weakened a lot, especially the northern front, because the northwest and northeast directions were under the control of the fifth theater, and the Japanese army did not dare to easily mobilize troops from these two directions to rush to the battle, so Ge Wu only arranged a few local troops to guard this road. On the one hand, it was to monitor the movements of the Japanese troops on the north side to prevent the Fifth Division from coming to reinforce them, and on the other hand, it was to give these local armed forces an opportunity to observe and learn, after all, such a big scene as beating the main force of the Japanese army could not be seen at any time.
Naturally, the combat capability of the local troops cannot be compared with that of the main forces. In terms of troops, personnel quality, and firepower intensity, they all showed a huge gap with the 1st Battalion of Gewu and Cheng Sankui's reconnaissance company. The table tennis is in full swing in several directions, only the north side is tepid, how can the old fritter-like Seiichi Kawakami and Momoru Kawamoto not see it? They first ordered Ogasawara Mitsuo to hold the defensive line, and then after directing his troops to swing a shot at the western front, they quickly turned around and concentrated all their strength to launch a fierce attack on the northern front.
Where are these local armed forces that are the opponents of the elite Japanese army? In only half an hour, several positions were broken through by the Japanese army, and the defenders on the positions were almost completely killed. The Japanese army, which finally saw a glimmer of life, did not dare to slack off, and under the command of Seiichi Kawakami and Sumomori Kawamoto, they quickly retreated in the direction of Luojiadian.
The strategic intentions of the Japanese army are too obvious, how could Jiang Shan, Ge Wu, Cheng Sankui and others not see it? If the Japanese army is allowed to escape along this route, the pattern of the entire battle situation will change, because around the first-line Catholic battlefield, there are still several reinforcements and blocking troops. If the Japanese army learns of the Chinese army's combat intentions, it is very likely that it will mobilize heavy troops to encircle and suppress it, and at that time, the strangulation of the Falcon special operations team will become the second, and the anti-Japanese forces that the Eighth Route Army has painstakingly cultivated in Shandong are likely to suffer heavy losses, even a devastating blow. At that time, a large area of the base areas behind enemy lines in East China will be destroyed in one fell swoop, and the entire area will fall into the hands of the Japanese army and the Nanjing government, a situation that the Northern Bureau and even the central government will never allow to happen.
A butterfly in the Amazon rainforest inadvertently flapped its wings and could trigger a tornado in Texas two weeks later. This kind of butterfly effect in chaos science is not groundless, who knows what kind of chain reaction a seemingly insignificant little thing will cause? The escape of an independent second garrison brigade may change the pattern of the entire battlefield, and the country cannot afford to take this risk.
Several people wanted to quickly organize troops to pursue, but in front of them, Ogasawara Mitsuo's troops were lying in front of them, blocking their pursuit.
Jiang Shan looked at the Japanese army in front of him, and his eyes were almost on fire.
"Captain, I'll take someone to rush again! We can't let this Japanese army run away like this! Firefox also had a dignified face.
If you want to break through the right resistance of the Japanese troops of the two squads, it is impossible for a while and a half, and it will take half an hour at the earliest. But half an hour later, who knows where Seiichi Kawakami and Sumoru Kawamoto ran away.
When a few people were at a loss, Liang Jianbin suddenly widened his eyes in astonishment, and said in disbelief: "Ge Laozi, what is the situation ahead?" ”
He was so shocked that he even brought out the thick Jiangxi accent, which shows the incredibleness of the matter.
Jiang Shan and the others followed his gaze, and after seeing the situation in front of them clearly, they also opened their mouths in surprise. The mountain wolf rubbed his eyes in disbelief, as if he was afraid that he would be dazzled by the mistake, and after confirming it again and again, he asked the leopard with a puzzled face: "Did the devil raise the white flag?" What's going on? ”
Above Ogasawara Mitsuo's position, a white flag was erected above, whirring in the autumn wind.
This guy didn't even fire a single shot, and surrendered directly!
Until Ogasawara Mano stood respectfully in front of him, Jiangshan and the others still seemed to be dreaming, and they couldn't believe that this was the truth. Didn't they all say that the Japanese army was all a stone in a pit, a stubborn and die-hard militarist? Doesn't it mean that they are all outlaws who are not afraid of death when they start a war, and they will not surrender even if they die? Why doesn't this guy play by the routine at all?
Kiyoshi Kawakami calculated everything, but he never thought that the abandoned son of Ogasawara Mitsuo, who was abandoned by him, turned out to be a Chinese-Japanese mixed-race! His father is Japanese, and his mother turned out to be a serious woman from Jiangsu and Zhejiang.
Ogasawara Mano's mother is a native of Nanjing, and the beautiful water and soil of Qinhuai, which is eight hundred miles away, supports such a gentle and pleasant woman. His father was a businessman, and when he came to Nanjing to do business, he met her, and the two fell hopelessly in love, and despite everyone's opposition, they resolutely came together.
When Ogasawara was smiling, he often listened to his mother tell about his hometown, and in his heart, there was no hostility towards China at all. Later, the Japanese army launched the 918 Incident, and as a young man of school age, he was forced to give up his studies, enlisted in the army, and was assigned to the Second Independent Garrison Brigade and became a trainee officer.
It can be said that Ogasawara Mitsuo is definitely one of those outliers in the Japanese army. The rest of the Japanese officers and men did not regard the Chinese as human beings at all, and cursed, insulted, and even killed at will, but in his opinion, the Chinese nation was a great nation, and now it was only occasionally dozing off. If Japan wants to develop, it can only choose to cooperate with China and seek common interests, instead of being the enemy of such a giant like those idiots in the military department. Because Japan is too small, once it provokes the behemoth of China, the other party's angry thunderous blow is something they will never be able to withstand.
It's just that in Japan, there are too few visionary people like Ogasawara Mitsuo, and the decision-making level is controlled by those short-sighted militarists, and such anti-war voices, once they appear, will basically be completely eliminated.
When stationed in the northeast, Ogasawara's squad was known for its strict military discipline, he strictly restrained his subordinates, absolutely did not allow insults and kills Chinese for no reason, and he was able to almost do nothing for the people near the station.
His behavior was simply out of place in the brutal Japanese army, and he was regarded as a monster by many Japanese soldiers and middle- and lower-level officers, which is why Kawakami Kiyoichi immediately thought of Ogasawara Mitsuo's troops when he was forced to make a choice. With the presence of Ogasawara Mitsuo, the brutality of the Japanese army will be infinitely magnified, which is extremely detrimental to the management of the entire army. Just take advantage of this opportunity to use the hands of the Eighth Route Army to eliminate this insecurity factor.
Kiyoichi Kawakami's behavior made Ogasawara Mitsuo feel cold, thinking about the discrimination and injustice he has suffered in Japan as a mixed-race child for so many years, and then thinking about this war that has no chance of winning at all, Ogasawara Mitsuo feels that his life for this stupid death is not worth it at all! After thinking about it, Ogasawara Mitsuo decided to surrender directly! Anyway, his mother died of illness last year, and he has no deep feelings for that Japanese father, so he has nothing to worry about.
He secretly told a few of his henchmen about his thoughts, and everyone agreed that it was really not worth dying in a foreign country in vain. Seiichi Kawakami gave up on them so easily, which made these low-level officers and soldiers feel even more chilled. Now that he has his own commander to take the lead, then surrender is not unacceptable. As for the two stubborn military coo, without waiting for Ogasawara Mitsuo to speak, the Japanese soldiers who had made up their minds to surrender rushed up and slashed them one by one with bayonets, and dealt with them cleanly.
