Chapter 368 Kawamura Dong
The moon stars are scarce.
The sudden burst of gunfire shattered a Midsummer Night's Dream in the Great Plains!
The birds perched in the forest at the head of the village of Maqiao Town fluttered across the night sky, screaming, and flew away into the distance; The croaking of frogs in the pond disappeared in an instant, and I don't know where so many hares came out of nowhere, running across the field.
Major General Kawamura Dong, who got into the car, instantly understood that his 11th Independent Infantry Brigade, 12th Independent Infantry Brigade, brigade artillery team, baggage team, and engineer team had penetrated into the ambush circle of the Eighth Route Army!
Kawamura Dong, who was still muttering "Senior General Teranachi and Lieutenant General Mitsu is old" just now, pushed the car door and got out, looked ahead for a moment, and actually pulled out his command knife and ordered the armored squadron and the 14th Independent Infantry Brigade to move forward quickly to rescue the troops who were caught in the ambush circle of the Eighth Route Army!
At this point, Kawamura Dong was not confused, and according to the intensity of the gunfire, it was immediately clear that he was ambushed by the eastward advance detachment of the Eighth Route Army, and he did not think about other troops in ignorance.
Qingfeng and Nanle were briefly occupied by the Japanese army when they captured Handan. After the withdrawal of the Japanese army, militia groups swarmed up in this area, some of which were organized by Fan Zhuxian's department and some by the underground party organizations of the Chinese Communist Party. Later, after Puyang Commissioner Ding Shuben found out that the Japanese troops had withdrawn, he returned to reorganize various militia groups and expand the troops.
This time, the Japanese army was ordered to go north to the Zhanghe River to arrange a defensive line, and the two county towns of Qingfeng and Nanle were occupied by the Japanese army again, and there was a maintenance meeting.
Kawamura Dong may have also carefully studied the situation in Qingfeng and Nanle, and knew that it was not Ding Shu's headquarters that ambushed them, but the eastward advance detachment of the Eighth Route Army set up an ambush here!
The Japanese army is a standard regular army, and when a friendly army is attacked, immediate rescue is stipulated in the infantry drill code, and it is inevitable!
Kawamura Dong ordered the armored squadron and the 14th Independent Infantry Brigade to rescue the 1st Independent Infantry Brigade, the 12th Independent Infantry Brigade and the brigade artillery team, baggage brigade, and engineer team that were trapped in the ambush circle of the Eighth Route Army.
On the contrary, if Kawamura Dong discarded the attacked troops and led the brigade headquarters and armored squadron and the 14th Independent Infantry Brigade to turn around and flee, then it would not be the Japanese army, it would not be the regular army, it would be bandits!
Although the Japanese army is not even as good as bandits in some aspects, it is definitely a regular army with strict discipline and a tough style on the battlefield!
Not only that, Kawamura Dong ordered to send a report to the 13th Independent Infantry Brigade and the Cavalry Team covering the right flank, and quickly moved closer to the main force and flanked the Eighth Route Army that dared to ambush!
At this moment, Major General Kawamura Dong, the commander of the Fourth Brigade of the Independent Mixed Brigade, had only one thought in his mind, that is, to quickly pounce on it, rescue the troops in ambush, and destroy the Eighth Route Army that dared to ambush the Japanese Army!
When has this been, Kawamura Dong is still so arrogant, dreaming of relying on the armored squadron and the 14th Independent Infantry Brigade at hand, as well as the 13th Independent Infantry Brigade as the cover of the right flank, to flank and ambush the Eighth Route Army, which is simply unreasonable!
The commander of the 14th Independent Infantry Brigade cautiously suggested to Kawamura Dong that he should rely on Maqiao Village to deploy defenses, prepare to block the Eighth Route Army, and report to the headquarters of the First Army and the Front Army, so that the 3rd Brigade, the 21st Division, and the Nara Detachment of the Independent Mixed Army could be quickly reinforced. If you rush to reinforcements, it is likely that the rescue will not be able to be rescued!
The meaning of the captain of the 14th Independent Infantry Brigade is very clear, that is, it is useless to go to the rescue at this time. Because this is a great plain, unsheltered, there is no position to rely on. Listening to the faint sound of gunfire from the front, the firepower of the Eighth Route Army was very intensive, and the 11th Independent Infantry Brigade, the 12th Independent Infantry Brigade and the brigade artillery team, baggage team, and engineer team were more than lucky!
What answered him was a resounding slap in the face and the roar of Major General Kawamura Dong's "Baga"!
As a result, the armored squadron and the 14th Independent Infantry Brigade of the Japanese Army, which were independently mixed into the 4th Brigade Regiment, moved quickly to the ambush battlefield in the distance and went to reinforce it!
Major General Kawamura Dong did not go with the troops to reinforce him, but stayed in Maqiao Village.
At this time, the arrogance of Major General Kawamura Dong was gone, the heart of eagerness to take revenge and wash away the shame was gone, and the heart of eagerness to make contributions to His Majesty the Emperor was gone, while he was looking forward to the chariots of his decisive weapon armored squadron to catch up with the ambushed Eighth Route Army, rescue the 11th Independent Infantry Brigade, the 12th Independent Infantry Brigade and the brigade artillery team, engineer team, and baggage team, while ordering the radio to send a report to the headquarters of the First Army and the North China Front Army. It was reported that the main force of the 4th Independent Mixed Brigade was ambushed south of Majiaqiao at the junction of southern Qingfeng County and Puyang County, and the 14th Independent Infantry Brigade and the Armored Squadron of the rearguard unit were ordered to quickly reinforce, and the 13th Independent Infantry Brigade and the Brigade Cavalry Team covering the right flank were ordered to move closer to the main force of the brigade and regiment, flank the ambushed Eighth Route Army, and request urgent tactical guidance!
As soon as General Terauchi walked back to his bedroom from the war room, he was called back to the war room, read Kawamura Dong's telegram, and immediately ordered Kawamura Dong to order the 14th Independent Infantry Brigade and the Armored Squadron to stop rescuing the ambushed troops and immediately move closer to the 3rd Independent Mixed Brigade. Under special circumstances, that is, the Eighth Route Army pounced, and it was too late to retreat, so be sure to rely on Majiaqiao Village to hold on and wait for reinforcements!
At the same time, Terauchi Shouichi ordered Kawamura Dong, the 13th Independent Infantry Brigade and the Cavalry of the Independent Mixed 4th Brigade to stop moving closer to the main force, quickly retreat, and go to the Nara Detachment of the 16th Division.
After sending a telegram to Kawamura Dong, Terauchi Shouichi sent a telegram to the Nara Detachment, the 3rd Independent Mixed Brigade, and the 21st Division, ordering them to mobilize quickly, take over the remnants of the 4th Independent Mixed Brigade, and block the gap in the defensive line left by the 4th Independent Mixed Brigade, and block the northward passage of the Eighth Route Army.
Terauchi Shouichi is afraid that the independent mixed Fourth Brigade will be completely annihilated, and he is afraid that the fish will break free from the net!
Fearing that the arrogant Kawamura Dong would disobey the military order again, Terauchi Shouichi sent another telegram to Kawamura Dong, unceremoniously telling him that if he dared to disobey the military order again, he would be sent to a military court, so that he and his family would lose face in all of Japan! Even if he apologizes or dies in battle, he will be charged with the loss of the 4th Brigade and deprived of all the honors he has received in the past!
The telegram order of General Terauchi Shouichi, commander of the North China Front, can be regarded as completely waking up the arrogant Kawamura Dong from his confusion!
When he became the commander of the Major General Brigade, Kawamura Dong absolutely did not want to die in battle or apologize for his crimes, let alone go to a military court and be embarrassed in front of the whole Japanese people!
Wake up from the alarm, without hesitation, he immediately ordered the brigade and regimental communications team that was operating with the brigade headquarters to send people to quickly catch up with him on motorcycles, ordered the 14th Independent Infantry Brigade and the armored squadron to immediately withdraw to Majiacun for defense, and ordered the brigade guard team to build a position on the spot and prepare to hold Majiaqiao Village.
