Chapter 406: Major General Jealousy

The sun was warm, and Kuroda Shigetoku was riding on a white warhorse, and a faint smile appeared on his face.

More than 300 Japanese infantry marched behind him, and more than 100 soldiers of the machine gun squadron followed behind the mules and horses, and 12 heavy machine guns were placed on the cart dragged by the mules and horses, and several Japanese officers also sat on the cart, and they talked softly.

"Why did General Kuroda go to Baode County, did General Kuroda want to take over the command and command the troops to fight against Sun Weiguo's troops?"

"I think General Kuroda must be angry with Kunomura Momoyo, so he has to go to the front line to direct the battle, and at the same time reprimand the wing commander."

"What do you know, last night His Excellency Commander Terauchi sent a telegram to commend the wing commander, and General Kuroda felt a little uncomfortable, so he had to go to the front line."

The officers talked softly, and they looked at Kuroda Shigetoku, although they had a calm expression on their faces, they were a little dissatisfied in their hearts, after all, they were very willing to stay in Biguan County to enjoy themselves, rather than follow Kuroda Shigetoku's ass and run to Baode County.

But where did these officers know Kuroda Shigetoku's thoughts, after receiving the telegram from Terauchi Shouichi, Kuroda Shigetoku realized that his position had become much more dangerous, and he felt that if Kunomura Momoyo defeated or completely annihilated Sun Weiguo's troops, then his position would definitely not be saved, so he had to go to the front line in person.

When he arrived at the front line in Baode County, Kuroda Shigetoku was the rank of major general of the Japanese Army, and he was the top boss of Kunomura Momoyo, even if he did not participate in the command, as long as he was on the front line, once Sun Weiguo's troops were completely annihilated or defeated, as long as there was merit, Kuroda Shigetoku would naturally be able to divide it.

But if he stays in the rear of Biguan County, once Kunomura Momoyo has credit, he will definitely not get it, in that case, Kuroda Shigetoku Infantry Regiment Commander will naturally not be able to keep his position, not to mention that the commander of the 26th Division, Harem Jun, values Kunomura Momoyo very much.

In order to be able to share the credit, Kuroda Shigetoku did not hesitate to send reinforcements to fulfill himself, he forcibly transferred the first reserve brigade to Pianguan County to garrison, and he took most of the defenders of Biguan County to Pianguan County, and Kuroda Shigetoku did not know that Sun Weiguo had begun to enter Hequ County with the main force of the Left Route Army.

Last night, the two regiment commanders of Sun Weiguo and Jin Suijun made a battle plan, and after dawn, Sun Weiguo began to set off with his troops.

The Third Cavalry Regiment of the Jin Sui Army, the First Independent Infantry Regiment of the Jin Sui Army, the Armored Company directly under the First Reserve Regiment, and the reconnaissance company formed a roundabout force, which was personally commanded by Sun Weiguo, and their combat mission was to quickly go to Hequ County, and after capturing Hequ County, they would create a threat to Pianguan County, mobilize the Japanese troops on the north bank of the Zhujiachuan River, and at the same time attract the Japanese troops from Fugu County to cross the Yellow River to reinforce them, so as to create an opportunity to besiege the 69th Wing of the Japanese Army in Fukuoka County.

At this time, the roundabout troops led by Sun Weiguo had already arrived in Hequ County, and the reconnaissance company began to be responsible for reconnaissance under the leadership of company commander Ge Haifeng.

The armored company followed Sun Weiguo, the 3rd Cavalry Regiment was responsible for the surrounding security, and the 1st Independent Regiment followed behind the armored company.

"Regiment commander, Japanese troops were found in front, more than 500 people, including a Japanese major general."

Just as Sun Weiguo was advancing in the armored car, Ge Haifeng quickly came to the armored car, and when the armored car stopped, Ge Haifeng's eyes became red, and he quickly reported that his face was full of excited expressions, and his right hand directly pressed the handle of the saber.

Major General of the Japanese Army, Ge Haifeng has fought dozens of battles with Sun Weiguo, but he has not met the Japanese general.

Now a Japanese major general appeared in front of Ge Haifeng's sight, his mood can be imagined, if it weren't for Sun Weiguo's strict discipline in the First Reserve, maybe Ge Haifeng would have rushed over directly with the reconnaissance company.

"Pass the order, try to capture the Japanese major general alive, immediately contact the Jin Sui army troops, the first independent regiment to carry out the encirclement, the third cavalry regiment, the reconnaissance company, and the armored company are responsible for the attack, and the various departments should not fight for merit, and the Japanese major general must be captured alive." Sun Weiguo immediately gave the order.

Now the expression on Sun Weiguo's face is very calm, but Sun Weiguo's heart is pounding.

Ge Haifeng has never seen a Japanese major general, and Sun Weiguo has also never seen a Japanese major general, if the Japanese major general can be captured alive, this will bring great encouragement to the military and the people, so Sun Weiguo repeatedly emphasized that the Japanese major general must be captured alive.

The divisions began to move after receiving the order, and the three battalions of the 1st Independent Regiment began to disperse, and they formed an encirclement, while the 3rd Cavalry Regiment and the reconnaissance company were ready, and the machine gun platoon of the armored company immediately set up infantry guns, machine guns, and light and heavy machine guns, and eight tanks and six armored vehicles were also ready to charge.

Even though Sun Weiguo emphasized that all departments should not compete for merit, there was a Japanese major general in front of him, and everyone wanted to personally capture the Japanese major general.

"Attack!" Sun Weiguo immediately gave the order.

With Sun Weiguo's order, the artillery company and the machine gun platoon of the armored company of the 1st Independent Regiment began to fire, and different types of artillery and light and heavy machine guns of different calibers began to fire, and shells and bullets continued to hit the Japanese army.

The devil soldiers who were marching were caught off guard, and dozens of devil soldiers fell to the ground on the spot.

Kuroda Shigetoku obviously also has a lot of combat experience, and when he heard the gunshot, Kuroda quickly jumped off his horse and lay on the ground.

And the devil soldiers quickly braved the threat of cannonballs and bullets, and quickly came to Kuroda Shigetoku and protected him closely.

The devil soldiers of the Japanese machine gun squadron quickly began to lift the heavy machine guns from the carts, but before they could set up the crane guns, bullets beat them into a sieve, and only a few three or four heavy machine guns were erected, and they also opened fire.

The roar of the tanks sounded, the tank guns began to fire, and six armored vehicles accelerated under the command of the deputy company commander Xiao Zhiwei.

Thousands of cavalrymen, wielding sabers, quickly approached the Japanese troops.

At this time, the Japanese soldiers began to despair, when they were attacked before, they thought that it was just a blow from a small Chinese force, but when tanks, armored vehicles and cavalry appeared, they realized that they had been attacked by the main Chinese force.

"Your Excellency, get out of here." A Japanese squadron leader said hurriedly.

Kuroda Shigetoku put down the telescope in despair, he looked through the telescope, he had seen that in addition to these cavalry and armored troops, the Chinese troops had thousands of infantry on the outermost floor, and Kuroda Shigetoku wanted to escape, which was simply impossible.
