Lianzhen is located at the junction of Dongguang County and Wuqiao County, because of the canal transportation, it has been an important wharf since ancient times. After the construction of the pen and fun pavilion www.biquge.info Jinpu Road, Lianzhen set up a railway station, and the small Lianzhen became more and more important.

The Japanese army has already fought to Lunan, and the northern section of the Jinpu Road has long been behind enemy lines, becoming a occupied area and a Japanese occupation area, from Tianjin to Jinan, all counties along the northern section of the Jinpu Road have established a puppet regime and set up a puppet garrison. Moreover, the regular army of the Chinese army has long since withdrawn from the North China Plain, and those miscellaneous armed forces are busy fighting for territory, pulling people and guns, and collecting food and distributing money. Second Lieutenant Nazukashi, the leader of the devil squad stationed in Lianzhen, never dreamed that there would be a Chinese army in this world that would pretend to be a Japanese army to seize Lianzhen, where he was stationed!

Because he couldn't think of it, when the sentry Ishikawa Saburo trotted all the way and led a team of Japanese army cavalry to the devil's stronghold, Second Lieutenant Nazuka Ishishi saw that it was His Excellency Nakasa, and hurriedly ran out to greet him, and he didn't forget to tidy up his military appearance.

Second Lieutenant Nazuka Ishi, who graduated from the Army Non-commissioned Officer School and was much higher than Private Ishikawa Saburo, who served as a sentry, knew at a glance that it was His Excellency the Wing Commander of the 20th Cavalry Wing of the 16th Division of the Great Japanese Army.

The news that the Eighth Route Army had completely annihilated the 20th Cavalry Wing of the 16th Division in Shanxi had already been broadcast on the radio. However, the Japanese tradition was to conceal the defeat and not inform the units that the 20th Cavalry Wing had been completely annihilated. Although the Japanese military order was strict, prohibiting junior officers and soldiers from listening to enemy stations, Second Lieutenant Natsuka was a graduate of the Army Non-commissioned Officer School, educated, and liked to listen to the radio in his spare time, and Lianzhen was a small place, and he was the supreme commander here, and no one reported him for secretly listening to the enemy's radio, and he also knew about the total annihilation of the 20th Cavalry Wing.

However, Second Lieutenant Natsuka Ishi, a fanatical and belligerent young officer, did not believe the reports on Chinese radio. Because he was extremely superstitious about the combat effectiveness of the Japanese army, he believed that it was absolutely impossible for the 20th Cavalry Wing to be shattered, and it was likely that the wing headquarters fell into the ambush circle of the Chinese army, and His Excellency the Wing Commander was loyal to the emperor, and the Chinese radio announced that the 20th Cavalry Wing had been completely annihilated.

What Ensign Nazuka looks down on the most is that the Chinese army exaggerates the results of the war, but the samurai are not!

For example, in the Battle of Xinkou, the Chinese side announced that more than 20,000 Japanese soldiers had been killed and wounded, and Second Lieutenant Nazuka Ishi scoffed at this. Because he knew that at that time, the Ninth Brigade of the Fifth Division was organized into the Guoqi Detachment and transferred to the Songhu battlefield, and the Fifth Division participating in the Battle of Xinkou only had the 21st Brigade and some artillery, cavalry, and baggage wings, which was equivalent to half a division, plus the mixed Second Brigade and the mixed 15th Brigade under the command of the Fifth Division, plus a wing of the Tun Army Brigade and Regiment stationed in North China, the total strength was less than 40,000. If the Chinese army could kill and wound more than 20,000 Japanese troops at Xinkou, they would not have to retreat from the Xinkou battlefield in a hurry, and Taiyuan City would not be lost!

As for the puppet Mongolian army and puppet Manchurian army that cooperated with the Japanese army, Second Lieutenant Nazuka Ishi did not count them into the battle force at all. Because he knows that those guys are cannon fodder, at best, they play the role of flank cover and vigilance.

Because of his superstitious belief in the combat effectiveness of the Japanese army, Second Lieutenant Nazuka Ishi firmly believed that the 20th Cavalry Wing would not be broken en masse. Therefore, as soon as he saw His Excellency Nakasa riding on a big white horse, the first thought was that this His Excellency Nakasa was lucky, and he actually encountered such a good thing as the death of the old and mediocre former Wing Commander of the 20th Cavalry Wing, Kasai Toshimatsu Nakasa, and took his place!

This is only the first thought, Second Lieutenant Nazuka Ishi is educated, smart, and his brain turns fast, and when he thinks about it, the promotion of the army is based on seniority, and the Nakasa in front of him looks younger than himself, and he can't be Nakasa at such a young age. Unless he is personally selected by His Majesty the Emperor!

If you want His Majesty the Emperor to personally select Jian Ren, it is either the imperial family or the imperial guards around His Majesty the Emperor, and nothing else is possible!

At the thought that this young Nakasa might be from the imperial family or the emperor's bodyguard, Ensign Nazuka's heart was pounding, and he felt that the opportunity to go to the front line to earn war merits had come!

Who would have thought that a small Japanese second lieutenant stationed in Lianzhen would have such a complicated mind in his mind, and he would think that the cavalry in front of him was the new wing commander of the 20th Cavalry Wing!

It's pretty weird! Quite incredible!

That Nakasa may really be from the imperial family, or the emperor's imperial guard, young, riding on a horse but as steady as Mount Tai, not alarmed, a graceful and luxurious style.

Nakasa's attitude has always been very good, very gentle, after meeting, although he did not dismount, but with a smile on his face, he first asked where Ensign Natsuka Ishi was from, graduated from the Army Non-commissioned Officer School for several periods, and then praised Ensign Natsuka Ishi's standard military posture and neat military appearance, reflecting the great military might of the Japanese Army!

Second Lieutenant Natsuka Ishi, who had just graduated from the Army Non-commissioned Officer School last year, went to the battlefield of aggression against China with the 10th Division, and fought all the way from Tianjin to Lianzhen. Unexpectedly, his good fortune came to an abrupt end, his brigade was ordered to guard Jinpu Road, his squad was sent to the small company town to garrison, and the elite permanent division regimental troops became a railway garrison!

Second Lieutenant Nazuka Ishi was indignant about this, believing that his duty as a railway garrison had affected his meritorious service to His Majesty the Emperor, especially his accumulation of military exploits, positions and promotions! Therefore, Second Lieutenant Nazuka Ishi reported to His Excellency the Squadron Leader and His Excellency the Group Leader several times, requesting that he be transferred to the front line. For this reason, a military correspondent of Japan's Yomiuri Shimbun stationed in North China also interviewed him, and as a typical example of the Japanese army's grassroots officers' high morale and strong sense of seeking war, the photo was photographed in the Yomiuri Shimbun.

Because of his desire to go to the battlefield, when Ensign Nazuka Ishi heard His Excellency Nakasa praise him, his eyes lit up, his legs stood straight, and when he lowered his head and said "Hai", his head was lowered more fiercely than usual.

The cavalry Nakasa looked at the performance of Second Lieutenant Nazuka Ishi, and smiled with satisfaction, and said in a loud voice, "Yo Xi!" ”

At this time, His Excellency Nakasa jumped off his horse and took the lead to the squad headquarters of Second Lieutenant Nazukaishi.

At Nazuka's squad headquarters, His Excellency Nakasa inquired in detail about the number and time of daily trains on the Jinpu Road, and then told Nazuka that he had received an order to lead a cavalry squadron and an infantry brigade to reinforce the Seya Detachment of the 10th Division, and that he was to take a car south at Lianzhen Station. Your Excellency the Second Lieutenant is requested to call the railway department immediately and arrange a column for his troops.

Second Lieutenant Nazukashi has a telephone at the squad headquarters, which can be directly called to the Japanese squadron headquarters in Dongguang County, the Japanese army brigade headquarters in Cangxian County, and even Tianjin!

Nazuka immediately said "Hai", picked up the phone on the table and shook it, picked up the receiver and shouted "Moxi, Moxi".

After shouting for a while, the phone couldn't get through!

Natsuka Shi was embarrassed, his face turned purple, and when he ran to the door, he called Cao Chang, who was on duty, and asked him to take someone to check the telephone line to see if it was the work of the guerrillas!

Nakasa stood up and stopped Nazukashi, saying that he had a radio station and could directly contact the division and regiment headquarters, and asked the division headquarters to contact the front army headquarters, and the North China Front Army Railway Department directly shunted the train and arranged military trains.

After speaking, Nakasa took out a cigarette, took out a metal gasoline lighter, lit it, lit it, took two puffs, didn't look at Nazuka Stone, and said casually: "There is a word in Shina, which is called seeing big with small." No wonder the Seya detachment of the 10th Division had the cooperation of aviation, tanks, armored vehicles, and artillery, but it could not conquer a small Taierzhuang! It seems that the reason is that after the big victory, the troops have become proud and complacent, paralyzed and slack, and need to be rectified! ”

The 16th Division is a permanent division, and the 10th Division is also a permanent division. Although the 16th Division was one of the main forces to capture Nanjing, the 10th Division captured Jinan, the capital of Shandong Province, and its achievements were not small! Now, His Excellency, the Wing Commander of the Twentieth Cavalry Wing of the 16th Division, actually said that the 10th Division needs to be rectified, isn't this obviously looking down on the 10th Division?

Second Lieutenant Nazukashi's face was flushed, but he didn't dare to refute, he was afraid that His Excellency Nakasa would be unhappy!

After holding it for a long time, Second Lieutenant Nazuka Ishi finally held back a sentence that was not too embarrassing for the 10th Division: "Your Excellency Nakasa, please inspect the combat readiness of my squad!" ”

Nakasa shook his head and said: "The combat readiness of the 10th Division, there should be someone sent by the commander of Ryosuke Isoya to check it, I just have a personal opinion, not necessarily right!" When I went back to see Lieutenant General Isoya, I'll just report to him! ”

Report to the division commander, isn't that a complaint behind your back?

Second Lieutenant Nazukashi couldn't have imagined that the cavalry Nakasa, who had praised him just now, would become so ruthless and bad in the blink of an eye, that he would report to the commander of Ryosuke Isoya that his squad was proud and lax, wasn't that looking for him to be unlucky?

Nazuka Ishi repeatedly implored His Excellency Nakasa to inspect the combat readiness of the squad and give guidance.

Natsuka Ishi asked so earnestly, and His Excellency Nakasa was embarrassed to hold it, and finally agreed to check the combat readiness of Nazuka's team.

As a result, Nazuka Ishiishi, the captain of the Japanese squad stationed in Lianzhen, asked the warrant officer on duty, Cao Chang, to blow the whistle, and the assembled team, including the sentry, was called back to assemble and accept the guidance of His Excellency Nakasa.

The team was all assembled, and a captain who came with His Excellency Nakasa frowned and asked Natsuka Ishishi, did the garrison go out to rob again? Why don't you see the shadow of the garrison?

Second Lieutenant Nazukashi, who was not afraid of deceit, immediately ordered the garrison under his command to assemble and accept the guidance of His Excellency Nakasa!

A squad of 54 Japanese soldiers and a company of 90 people from the puppet army garrison were divided into two teams, neatly arranged, and stood in the courtyard. Machine guns, grenadiers, rifles, all neatly lined up in front of the queue.

His Excellency Nakasa came out of Nazukashi's squad headquarters unhurriedly, stood in front of the queue, with a smile on his face, his eyes from the head of the platoon to the end of the line, and then coughed, cleared his throat, and said casually in Japanese: "I am Xiao Siming, the captain of the eastward advance brigade of the 115th Division of the Eighth Route Army!"
