Chapter 286: Victory in the First Battle (3)

After Han Yunhua arrived, he immediately asked Wei Peng, "Wei Peng, how is the situation here?" ”

Wei Peng knew Han Yunhua's temper, and when he was fighting, he didn't allow anything else, and did his best to take into account all possible emergencies, so he immediately reported: "Big boss, the guy we drove back from Shizhuang Village to report the news an hour ago was released, and we didn't expose ourselves. I had just received news from the sentry at the front that a Japanese combat squad and more than 250 plainclothes officers of Zhang Dafu were rushing towards Shilijing Village, and they would arrive in about 10 minutes. ”

"Is Zhang Dafu here? So how are you preparing? Han Yunhua continued to ask.

"The sentry in front did not report the news about Zhang Dafu, so he should not have come. However, the Japanese army stationed less than 80 people in the stronghold of Zhang Qiuzhen in peacetime, and now more than 50 people have been dispatched at once, which should be regarded as pouring out. Don't worry, although the enemy has more than 300 people combined, but our side is ready, and the battle can be solved in ten minutes at most, in order to save bullets, we all use sniper rifles or 38 big covers this time, and we are not ready to use machine guns, you can see it. Wei Peng replied.

Hearing Wei Peng's answer, Han Yunhua was very satisfied, and ordered the troops to prepare for battle and wait for the arrival of reinforcements from the Japanese puppet army.

Although the Japanese troops stationed in Zhangqiu Town were only second-line troops that had just been formed, their combat effectiveness was not at all comparable to the 20 or so permanent divisions of the Japanese army, and even the Yamashita Brigade, which had been disabled and replenished many times. But these guys are very arrogant, because they have hardly been on the battlefield, they have not seen the strength of the squadron at all, and the strength of the squadron is hearsay, and most soldiers think that the weapons taken by the squadron are weapons from half a century ago, and there is no threat to them at all.

Just like the unhappy Lieutenant Ishikawa, isn't it just a group of bandits, and they need to dispatch so many people? However, considering that since the formation of the unit, their independent 10th Brigade can be said to have failed to achieve an inch. Although His Excellency the Brigade Commander repeatedly requested Lieutenant General Otaka Kamezo to be transferred to the front-line combat unit, he was not allowed. However, almost all the resistance forces and the defense forces of China in Shandong were wiped out in the blows of the previous period, and even the bandits and bandits of China, who had always been numerous, disappeared, so the rank of lieutenant at the time of Lieutenant Ishikawa's graduation is still the rank of lieutenant, and the position of squad leader has not been promoted. In addition, most of his classmates were stationed in counties with more oil and water, and only he and a few unlucky people such as Jiro Asada, Ichiro Sasaki, etc., were transferred to a poor rural place.

Originally, today was the time for Zhang Sang to deliver money and food to An Pei Shaozuo, the president of the Zhang Qiuzhen Maintenance Association, so he, the supreme commander of Zhang Qiuzhen, arrived at the Zhang family's mansion early, and after performing all the money and food, and making sure that there was no mistake, Lieutenant Ishikawa ordered Zhang Dafu's people to open the way. After the convoy carrying money and grain left, as the representative of the squire of Zhang Qiuzhen, Zhang Dafu specially set up a banquet for Lieutenant Ishikawa and others.

But just when everyone was staggering, the sweet potato ran in with a limp and reported that the convoy had been intercepted by bandits, and Butler Zhang ordered him to come back and ask the master for help. Lieutenant Ishikawa, who was discouraged, was greatly annoyed, and immediately ordered an infantry squad to rush to the rescue of Shizhuang Village. However, Zhang Dafu was afraid of any accidents, so he deliberately transferred his plainclothes team to two and a half squads and handed them over to Lieutenant Ishikawa's command.

In fact, Lieutenant Ishikawa has other plans in his heart, and like Zhang Qing, Lieutenant Ishikawa also wants to use these bandits who have finally come to the fore to ask the captain for credit. Although it is only a group of bandits, as long as it operates well, it may not be able to become a guerrilla force of the Eighth Route Army at that time. You must know that the guerrillas of the Eighth Route Army usually look like a group of bandits and bandits, and there are hardly any signs of regular troops.

Lieutenant Ishikawa, who had made up his mind, urged the troops to hurry as soon as possible, not because he was afraid that the bandits would not destroy Zhang Qing, but because he was afraid that the more than 100 plainclothes team members led by Zhang Qing would wipe out the hateful and lovely group of bandits and rob him of his credit.

However, as a Japanese army sergeant graduate officer, although Lieutenant Ishikawa cannot be regarded as the best among them, he still has the most basic military knowledge. Although he himself did not believe that the bandits would dare to intercept them halfway, Lieutenant Ishikawa sent out a combat squad of soldiers and more than 30 plainclothes teams to expand the reconnaissance area to 200 meters for the sake of safety. ,

It is very necessary to mention here the cradle of Japan's officer training, and when it comes to Japan's military education, we have to mention two schools - the Japanese Army Non-commissioned Officer School and the Japanese Army University.

The predecessor of the Japanese Army Non-commissioned Officer School was the Kyoto Military Academy, which was founded in 1868, which paid attention to the all-round development of cadets in military technology and militaristic spiritual education in ideology, and trained a large number of high-ranking generals for Japan's war of aggression, six of whom served as prime ministers. After Japan's surrender in 1945, the Army Non-commissioned Officer School was abolished, and a total of 61 classes were held before the abolition, training 36,900 officers.

It was founded during the Meiji Restoration as the Kyoto Military Academy, which opened in August 1868. The school mainly teaches military courses, and focuses on instilling in students the feudal loyalty to the emperor and the militaristic ideology of sparing no effort for the sake of the "Great Japanese Empire", and cultivates the spirit of bushido in students in a very cruel way. Graduates of this school are the backbone of Japan's modern army, and almost all army officers, whether generals or second lieutenants, have studied here in the wars of aggression launched by Japan in modern times.

Although most of the training of the Japanese Army Non-commissioned Officer School are war criminals, its teaching is rigorous and scientific, not everyone can graduate smoothly, its military education is popularized in all aspects, and the courses taught are numerous and complex. 戊ćČ (History of War); Military Science (Establishment Science); Ordnance (Weapons Science); Shooting (Shooting); Aeronautics; Fortification (Engineering); Transportation; Surveying (Cartography); Equine Studies; hygiene; Pedagogy; military education; general education; Foreign language. Therefore, the quality of Japanese officers at this time was still very good, but there were also inherent flaws, such as dull tactics.

The Army Non-commissioned Officer School has produced a large number of talented people, among whom those who have been promoted to the rank of marshal are: Sugiyama Motoshi (Land Minister) and Shunroku Hata (Land Minister). The generals are: Nobuyuki Abe, Shizaburo Mazasaki, Shigeru Honjo, Ishine Matsui, Sadao Araki (Rikumi), Hayashi Senyuki, and Kuniaki Koiso. Lieutenant Generals: Sakabe Tochiho, Ninomiya Jishige, Kohei Kashii, Qin Shinji, Yanagawa Heisuke, Kaneta Kanayasu, Inagaki Kaozhao. Major Generals: Saburo Takihara, Tetsuji Koga, Hisaji Ninomiya.

The school attaches great importance to the education of militaristic spirit, emphasizing the improvement of the cultural level and tactical literacy of the cadets, the graduates of the school are the backbone of the modern Japanese army, and almost all the army officers in the war of aggression launched by Japan in modern times, whether they are generals or second lieutenants, have studied here, and six of them have served as prime ministers; In addition, at that time, due to the influence of "political science in the West, military science in the East", many important members of the political circles of the Chinese government also studied in this school. For example: Cai Yi, Jiang Baili, Zhang Xiaohuai, Xu Chongzhi, Sun Chuanfang, Yan Xishan, Yin Changheng, Liu Yuqi, Jiang Zuobin, He Yingqin, Tang Enbo, Zhu Shaoliang, Cheng Qian, etc.

Speaking of the Japanese Army University, it is indeed an institution that the Japanese army has to say, it is a cradle for training officers who invaded China, and it is an educational institution set up by the old Japanese Army to train staff officers. Of course, almost no country in that era had its own institutions of the same kind, such as the Berlin Military Academy in Germany and the Army University in China.

The Japanese Army University was founded in Kita-Aoyama, Minato-ku, Tokyo (moved to Chiyoda-ku one year after its opening and evacuated to Kofu City, Yamanashi Prefecture before the end of World War II), with the main mission of training staff officers, Japanese generals, high-ranking officers of the Osashi rank, and military research. In the 64 years since its establishment, there have been 3,485 graduates, abbreviated as "Lu University". The qualifications for the examination are medium and senior lieutenant officers who have graduated from the "Japanese Army Non-commissioned Officer School" and have more than two years of experience in the army, and are under the age of 30. The education period is three years for infantry and cavalry, and two years for artillery and engineers. The schools in the Japanese Army are usually under the jurisdiction of the Department of Education, but the University is a school directly under the General Staff Headquarters, and the personnel arrangements for the graduates of the Army are directly handled by the General Staff Headquarters. Moreover, two years after the establishment of the school, the disciples of the famous general Moltke (Old Moltke) were invited from the Prussian Military Academy to serve as instructors, and the excellent Prussian military staff education and system at that time were introduced.

Graduates of Lu University can be awarded a "Chrysanthemum and Star" graduation badge to wear on their chests, because this badge resembles the coins issued during the Tenpo period in the Edo period of Japan, so Lu University graduates call themselves "Tenpo Money Group", the best graduates can receive a saber from the emperor, it is also called "Saber Group", graduates have priority in future military promotion. The officers who graduated from Lu University think very highly of themselves, regard the "Chrysanthemum and Star" graduation badge on their chest as honorable, and despise the officers who are not from Lu University, and often refer to them as the "Heavenless Group" to refer to non-Lu University-born officers, because they do not have this "Chrysanthemum and Star" graduate badge, which has caused some officers to be antagonistic, so in Showa 11, it was forbidden to wear the graduation badge of Lu University in military uniforms. ,

However, the original purpose of the establishment of the Japanese Army University was to prepare for a war of aggression. From the Russo-Japanese War to the July 7 Incident, the students of the Army University gradually became the backbone and "center" of Japan's foreign aggression and expansion. During Japan's war of aggression against China, many high-ranking Japanese generals graduated from the Army University, including Ishihara Wanji, a theoretician of Japan's aggression against China and the initiator of the September 18 Incident, Hideki Tojo, a "Razor General" and a Japanese class-A war criminal, Matsui Ishine, the maker of the Nanjing Massacre, and Kenji Dohihara, the head of the secret service.

At the beginning of its establishment, many theories of aggression were prevalent at the Army University, such as Arao Sei's "Xingya Theory", which can be regarded as the predecessor of the "Greater East Asia Co-Prosperity Sphere". Officers who grew up in the Army University were more or less influenced by these theories, which became the driving force and theoretical guidance for Japan's future expansion abroad. The Army University is the most fanatical institution fueled by the development of Japanese militarism; as soldiers, many of them are elites in military command, but in terms of ideology and understanding of state relations, many people simply regard the relationship between countries as the law of the jungle or advocate that Japan should lead the Asian countries to resist the rule of Europe and the United States. These theories are not only immature, but they are only a fig leaf for militarists to wage war.

As a graduate of the Imperial Japanese Army Non-commissioned Officer School, Lieutenant Ishikawa has always firmly believed that the reason for the low combat effectiveness of the squadron is due to the backwardness of the education of the Chinese army, and a large part of the lieutenant officers are from soldiers, such as the Eighth Route Army and the New Fourth Army led by China's second largest political party, 90% of its grassroots officers and 70% of the middle and high-level officers have not received formal military education, resulting in the government army calling these officers "mud legs".

Although he looked down on the combat effectiveness of the squadron, Lieutenant Ishikawa still did not dare to be careless. In particular, the only battle he participated in was against the guerrillas in the Shandong area of the Eighth Route Army, and although the guerrillas' weapons and equipment were not very good, their fighting will was very tenacious, which gave Lieutenant Ishikawa a great shock. Moreover, in his opinion, the Chinese guerrillas and bandits are similar in length, and it is difficult to distinguish them from their appearance, and no one is sure that the bandits in front are really bandits, not the guerrillas of the Eighth Route Army.

Not to mention, although this Lieutenant Ishikawa is a little timid and greedy, what he thinks is similar to the truth. However, even if he was cautious, he couldn't break Han Yunhua's situation against them, although the 200-meter cordon seemed to be very good, the effective range of an ordinary rifle was only 150 meters, and for a force of more than 300 people, a 200-meter cordon was enough.

But Lieutenant Ishikawa could not have imagined that although the squadron they were about to encounter was only more than 220 people, it was equipped with more than 190 sniper rifles and more than 10 light machine guns. The maximum firing range of the sniper rifle is 2,000 meters, and the effective firing range is 600 meters, coupled with the superb concealment and hiding skills of the special combat personnel, as long as the reconnaissance unit of the Japanese puppet army is not allowed to come to them, they are not afraid of being discovered at all.

Ten minutes later, Lieutenant Ishikawa led this Japanese puppet army has entered the ambush circle of the special combat team, as long as Han Yunhua gives an order, this Japanese puppet army will be destroyed within ten minutes. Of course, Han Yunhua would not show mercy to these people, only to see Han Yunhua pull out his pistol and shoot it at the sky, and at the same time shouted loudly: "Fire"

Suddenly, the sound of "pop", "pop", "pop" and "pop" gunfire was endless, although it was not very intense, but the blow to the Japanese puppet army was fatal, and more than half of the Japanese puppet army fell to the ground in the first round of shooting, and almost all of them were shot in the head. In particular, the Japanese squad suffered 80% casualties in the first place. Although an infantry squad really needs to be pulled out, it is not a small combat effectiveness, and usually the Eighth Route Army needs to gather at least one battalion of troops to annihilate an infantry squad.

However, who let the luck of this devil unit be very good, and ran into the army led by Han Yunhua, a soul piercing person, a special force all equipped with sniper rifles. Almost everyone in the special combat team trained by Han Yunhua is a sharpshooter, and at a distance of two or three hundred meters, the sniper rifle can completely miss a shot.

The sudden blow immediately stunned these Japanese puppet troops who had not been on the battlefield much, and the remaining seven or eight devils quickly crawled to the ground to organize a counterattack. However, the plainclothes team behind him saw that Taijun, who had just been immortal, was now falling to the ground like wheat that had been cut down, especially the tragic appearance of the dead body, which really frightened these spineless things. looked at Taijun's head like a broken watermelon, red and white scattered all over the ground. The will to resist quickly collapsed, and after seeing the few plainclothes team members running in front of them being shot in the head, the smart guys immediately threw away the weapons in their hands and lay on the ground with their heads in their hands to show their surrender. ,

At this time, all the devils in a squad have been eliminated, and there are only more than a hundred puppet soldiers left in plainclothes teams. These guys didn't have any backbone, and when they saw that as long as they surrendered, they wouldn't be killed, and they all surrendered.

Seeing that these guys were still knowledgeable about current affairs, Han Yunhua no longer wasted bullets. While Han Yunhua ordered the soldiers to clean up the battlefield, he gathered these guys from the plainclothes team. At the same time, he also ordered the guard team to immediately change into Japanese uniforms, and they had to return to Zhang Qiuzhen immediately.

Looking at the more than 160 captives in front of him, Han Yunhua was a little annoyed at the same time, looking at these guys who looked like people, most of them were still very strong, why didn't they want to do some good things for the country and the people, how could they all be traitors.

Han Yunhua shouted loudly at these trembling captives: "Listen to Lao Tzu for the dog day, Lao Tzu is the bandit Guo Jianglong on Jingyang Gang, although Lao Tzu is a bandit, but Lao Tzu still knows that he is Chinese, unlike you guys who smear your ancestors and actually treat the devil as a dog, really damn it." Don't say anything else, since you surrendered today, Lao Tzu will not kill you, as long as you join Lao Tzu's team and follow Lao Tzu to fight devils and eliminate traitors, Lao Tzu is not to blame for the past, otherwise, those guys are your example. ”

Han Yunhua's words were still very lethal, and with the hundreds of broken corpses around him, almost all the plainclothes teams gave in. Han Yunhua was not embarrassed by these people, and ordered Wei Peng to return all their weapons to them, of course, there were only guns and no bullets. Then Han Yunhua ordered the remaining special combat team members to take off the clothes on the dead plainclothes team and change them, leaving ten team members to sweep the battlefield, and after a little rest, they rushed to Zhang Qiuzhen non-stop.
