Chapter 263: The Yellow River

Huangheya Town is located in the southeast of Dexian County, named after the Yellow River, in ancient times it was originally a prosperous Yellow River wharf market town, and later the Yellow River was diverted, which became the old road of the Yellow River, and the former wharf market town was lonely. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 In the Ming and Qing dynasties, in order to relieve the threat of flooding in the upper reaches of the canal, people turned this ancient Yellow River road into a canal flood channel, that is, a river reduction. When Jinpu Road was built, there were three railway stations in Dexian County, namely Mulberry Garden Station, Dexian Station and Huangheya Station, and Huangheya Town became prosperous again.

Since it was only 12 kilometers away from Dezhou City, the sound of the silent night was very far away, and the Japanese troops stationed at Huangheya Station were already alert when the Eighth Route Army captured Dezhou Airport, and immediately reported to the squadron and brigade. In this way, the Fifth Brigade of the Japanese Railway Independence also knew the news of the Eighth Route Army's attack on Texas.

The Japanese army was a regular army, with unified command from top to bottom. If the troops of the Fifth Independent Brigade of the Railway are highly concentrated, they will go to reinforce Texas as soon as possible. The problem is that the Fifth Independent Brigade of the Railway is a garrison force, and all of them are scattered on the Jinpu Road between Dexian and Luokou Bridge in the scale of squadrons and squads.

Second Lieutenant Ken Ogura is the squad leader stationed at the Huangheya Railway Station.

From 10 o'clock in the evening when he faintly heard the sound of gunfire coming from the direction of Texas, Second Lieutenant Ken Ogura had already ordered the whole squad to enter the position, and he was on high alert.

Second Lieutenant Ken Ogura, a graduate of the Army Non-commissioned Officer School and possessing the basic qualities of a grassroots officer, immediately called Lieutenant Yamada, the squadron leader, to report the abnormal situation in Texas and commanded the squad to enter the position to guard against a sneak attack by the Eighth Route Army.

Lieutenant Yamada's response was also very quick, and he called Second Lieutenant Ken Ogura, saying that he had contacted the Texas Garrison Command, and His Excellency the Commander ordered the Fifth Independent Brigade of the Railway to concentrate its troops and return to Texas, so that Okura Ken could ensure the safety of the Texas station, and send a small search team in the direction of Texas to reconnoiter the Eighth Route Army attacking Texas.

It's a must!

Second Lieutenant Ken Ogura immediately sent a Cao Chang, with four soldiers, to quietly grope in the direction of Dezhou City to carry out a search and reconnaissance mission.

Thinking about it, Second Lieutenant Ken Ogura ordered a few traitors set up in the Huanghe Ya Puppet District Office to ride bicycles to Texas, thinking about figuring out the number and strength of the Eighth Route Army besieging the city.

As soon as the arrangements were made, Lieutenant Yamada, the squadron leader, called Ogura Ken again to inform him that the Texas Garrison Command had lost contact, and judged that the commander His Excellency Tomigato Nakasa had been loyal to His Majesty the Emperor, and that the Eighth Route Army should have captured the city of Texas. The Fifth Independent Railway Brigade received an order from Lieutenant General Naosaburo Okabe, chief of staff of the North China Front, to immediately concentrate its troops and cooperate with the Fourth Independent Railway Brigade and the Second Wing of the North China Garrison Army to recapture the city of Dezhou and eliminate the Eighth Route Army that dared to capture Dezhou!

Lieutenant Yamada ordered Second Lieutenant Ken Ogura to hold the Huangheya Station and wait for the arrival of the recaptured troops who had participated in the Texas Assault.

Only then did Lieutenant Ken Ogura realize that his squad had become the closest outpost to Texas, and if the Eighth Route Army that captured Texas City took the lead to attack Huangheya Town, he might have to be loyal to His Majesty the Emperor like those companions in Texas City!

Second Lieutenant Ken Ogura was only 21 years old, and he came to North China by ship singing the military songs of the Japanese army, and his mind was full of militaristic ideas of opening up territory and making meritorious contributions for His Majesty the Emperor, and he was very fanatical. It has only been a long time since he arrived in Huangheya Town, and Ensign Ken Ogura took his team to indiscriminately exert coercion in the villages around Huangheya, forcing the villages to implement the armor protection system, and in case of resistance, Ken Ogura will command the little devils to retaliate frantically, killing people and setting fires, and doing all kinds of bad things.

Unlike other young officers of the Japanese army like mad dogs at this time, Second Lieutenant Ken Ogura did not kill people and set fires, rape and rape *lunjian not simply to vent shouyu, he wanted to turn the Chinese in the villages around Huangheya into collaborators and obedient people of the imperial army.

The reason for this is that Ken Ogura's grandfather and father were both sinologists, and they learned a little bit of Chinese history from childhood to adulthood, and knew that China was invaded by foreign nations many times in history, and in the end these invaders failed, leaving only the vicissitudes of life and the vast history of Chinese civilization for 5,000 years. Therefore, Second Lieutenant Ken Ogura, who was bent on making meritorious contributions to His Majesty the Emperor, was not too old and ambitious, and wanted to solve the problem fundamentally, completely subduing the Chinese by force, so that they would not dare to resist and completely become obedient citizens of the Japanese Empire.

Ken Ogura's grandfather and father must have been half-hung sinologists, and they didn't even scratch the surface of Chinese history! Otherwise, Ken Ogura wouldn't have such a stupid idea!

The arrogant and ignorant Second Lieutenant Ken Ogura, after realizing that his squad had become the closest outpost of the Japanese army to Texas and that he might be loyal to His Majesty the Emperor, did not hesitate to pee his pants, on the contrary, he felt a sense of tragedy in his heart, and felt that it was a supreme honor to defend the Yellow River like a nail! This guy not only drove the whole squad to the position, but also drove all the traitors from the Huangheya puppet district office and dozens of puppet soldiers from the puppet police team to the railways and highways, and asked them to take the gongs and be on duty on the railways and highways.

Not to mention, this little devil has a lot of Taoism in his head!

Second Lieutenant Ken Ogura was busy for a while, and at 12 o'clock in the evening, the squadron leader, Lieutenant Yamada, arrived at the Yellow River in an armored patrol car.

As soon as Lieutenant Yamada arrived, he asked if he had found the enemy's situation.

Second Lieutenant Ken Ogura reported that no enemy situation had been discovered for the time being, that the detachment that had gone to Texas to reconnoiter and search had not yet returned, that several plainclothes officers from the district office had not returned, and that the enemy situation in the direction of Texas was unknown for the time being.

Lieutenant Yamada was very satisfied with the disposition of Second Lieutenant Ken Ogura, said Yo Xi, and then began to curse the Eighth Route Army for being cowards, not daring to fight head-on, and good at sneak attacks!

After scolding for a while, Lieutenant Yamada stopped talking, and then told Second Lieutenant Ken Ogura that Lieutenant General Okabe Naosaburo, chief of staff of the North China Front, had ordered that the Fifth Independent Railway Brigade should still guard railways and highways, strengthen patrols, and ensure traffic safety. The Second Brigade of the Second Infantry Wing of the Mixed Brigade Corps of the North China Garrison Army has already set off from Jinan by car and plans to get off at Huangheya Station. The battle to attack Dezhou was mainly undertaken by the 2nd Brigade of the 2nd Infantry Wing of the North China Garrison Mixed Brigade and the 4th Independent Brigade of the Railway, and the 3rd Wing of the Railway responded to it.

When Ken Ogura heard that the attack on Texas was carried out by the Second Brigade of the Second Wing of the North China Garrison Mixed Brigade and the Fourth Independent Railway Brigade, he immediately became angry in his heart, and felt that Lieutenant General Naosaburo Okabe, chief of staff of the Front Army, was blindly commanding, so how could he let go of the Fifth Independent Railway Brigade, which relied on the railway to transport troops at the fastest speed? Isn't this a clear contempt for the combat effectiveness of the Fifth Independent Brigade of the Railway?

Second Lieutenant Ken Ogura immediately asked the squadron leader, Lieutenant Yamada, to fight, and reported that his squad was willing to act as the vanguard of the attack on Texas and launch a search attack on Texas City!

What answered him was a loud slap from Lieutenant Yamada and a scolding from "Yaga"!

After the fight and scolding, Lieutenant Yamada said that the Japanese Army was fighting fiercely with the Chinese army in the southern section of the Longhai Road and Jinpu Road, and that the North China Plain area was short of troops. The Fifth Independent Brigade of the Railway is guarding the long section of the Yellow River Railway Bridge from Dexian to Luokou, and is responsible for traffic safety. In case the search attack fails and the entire squad is shattered, wouldn't the Eighth Route Army be able to occupy the Huangheya Station? Who will guarantee the transportation safety of the Second Brigade of the Second Wing of the North China Garrison Army?

Only then did Ken Ogura realize that he was not a loss at all when he was slapped, it turned out that his team was still so important, which was equivalent to providing a guarantee for the safe transportation of the Second Brigade of the Second Wing of the North China Garrison Army to Huangheya Station!

At this time, the Japanese army had already strengthened its patrols on the railways and highways between the Yellow River and Luokou. When Lieutenant Yamada arrived, he rode in an armored patrol car, which was in charge of railway patrols, and he also led a small team to patrol the highway in cars, armored vehicles, and motorcycles.

The summer night in the North China Plain, the light moon and the stars, the gentle night breeze, and the sound of frogs from time to time make people almost forget that this is a cruel war years.

When Lieutenant Yamada came, he naturally took over the command, and Second Lieutenant Ken Ogura was just a slap in the face of the squad leader, and he no longer had to stay in the office, and together with the soldiers, he crawled into the trench that had been repaired at the head of the town of Huangheya, looking at the night in the distance in a daze.

At this moment, Second Lieutenant Ken Ogura finally thought of his hometown, his grandfather and father's study, and his mother, and a thought suddenly popped into his mind: If he could take off his military uniform at this time and return to his parents, it might be a blessing!

As soon as this thought came to mind, Second Lieutenant Ken Ogura felt a sense of shame, how could he think of his hometown and his parents at this time? The honor of the Great Japanese Army has been ruined by Second Lieutenant Ken Ogura!

As soon as the sense of shame came up, Second Lieutenant Ogura's will to fight rose again, and he couldn't wait for the Second Brigade of the Second Wing of the North China Garrison Army to arrive immediately, immediately launch an attack on Dezhou City, recapture Dezhou in a battle, and eliminate the Eighth Route Army that attacked Dezhou!

Thinking of Dezhou City, Second Lieutenant Ken Ogura remembered that there were so many munitions, food, and medicines stored in Dezhou City, if these things were transported away by the Eighth Route Army, how many more Eighth Route Troops would be in this Hebei and Lu border areas!

As soon as he thought of this, Ensign Ken Ogura felt hot all over, and he seemed to see the brothels opened by the Japanese in Texas City, the Japanese geisha in the comfort station, and the snow-white flesh of the Korean comfort women!

On this night, the Eighth Route Army captured Dezhou, and the Japanese leaders of the North China Front Headquarters, the North China Front Front Front Headquarters, and the Second Army Headquarters were all overwhelmed by the Eighth Route Army's attack on Dezhou.

The only thing that Second Lieutenant Ogura couldn't figure out was that Cao Chang and the four soldiers he sent to Texas City to search and reconnoiter never returned, including the friends of the imperial army in the district office.

Finally stayed up until four o'clock in the morning, the military train shipped from Jinan finally gasped for breath, emitted white smoke, hummed and climbed to the Huangheya Railway Station, and the Second Brigade of the Second Infantry Wing of the North China Garrison Army of the Japanese Army Invading China finally arrived!
