"Tanaka-kun, when you return to China in the future, please come to my house and give this to my mother."

"A gold necklace? Don't worry, Takahashi-kun, if I can return to China alive, I will definitely visit your mansion, and I will give this gold necklace to your mother with my own hands. ”

Another bunch of Japanese troops who were interrupted by the election resolutely left the large army after explaining what had happened. Not far away, Ishikawa Ryuichi, who saw this scene with his own eyes, couldn't tell what it was like. The dignified Ishikawa Brigade would have fallen into such a situation in Zhengzhou, he would not have believed it half a month ago.

The gunfire behind him seemed to be getting closer, and the commander of the Ishikawa Brigade ordered the troops: accelerate the advance! The Japanese soldiers changed from walking at a brisk pace to trotting, which was already the fastest march that a combat unit could promote.

"Quick, quick! Brethren, hurry up! The commander of the first regiment, Li San, carried twenty box cannons in his hand and kept urging the soldiers to speed up.

"Whew, whew. Commander, if you hurry up, I'll let you run to death. No, I can't run. A thin major gasped and leaned against a tree, as if he couldn't really walk.

"Han Ma Pole, if you can't walk, just rest here. You, the battalion commander Ji Guozhong, have long been worried about it, and if you want to give it to him, you can do it casually. However, it will not be your business to seize the loot from the devil in the future. Brothers, Han Ma Gong is not your battalion commander anymore. ”

"Don't, don't, Captain! Tuanza, tuanza. I'm just joking, don't take it seriously. Brothers, the regimental commander is talking and playing, and I am still your battalion commander. I wasn't removed. Hurry, hurry up! The battalion commander of the major, known as Han Ma Gong, suddenly came to his senses, ran a few steps in a row, and overtook several soldiers and ran to the front.

Li San shook his head with a smile, and shouted again After speeding up, he himself quickly took a few steps forward, keeping up with the faster and faster team.

"Li San, Li San!" Hearing someone calling him, Li Sanshun looked to the side in his voice, and a mighty cavalry officer was waving his arms to greet him amid the sound of horses' hooves. "Leopard!" Li San waved his hand to the cavalry commander. Ji Jinbiao knocked his feet on the horse's belly, and the war horse ran a few steps to Li San's side.

"How far is the front from the devil's backline?"

"It's not far, it's not more than two miles." Li San looked enviously at the blue-maned horse under Ji Jinbiao's crotch. In fact, Li San, the head of the regiment, has also reached the level of matching war horses, but he doesn't want to lead the troops to fight now. The officers of the infantry unit are riding their horses to the battlefield, that is, they are using the devil as a live target! Li San's war horse had to wait until the battle was over before he could ride it.

"Erlidi? Okay, I'll go to the front first, and don't worry. Drive! With a scolding, the blue-maned horse accelerated violently, and Ji Jinbiao left the first regiment and quickly moved forward with the cavalry troops.

Li San watched the cavalry regiment drive quickly past the side, and it was not until the last cavalryman rode past that he shook his head and smiled. Of course, the cavalry was too fast, and the infantry who walked on two feet could not catch up with the four legs of the war horse, no matter how hard they tried. Now that Ji Jinbiao has gone ahead, he really doesn't have to rush so desperately anymore.

"Xiaobo, do you see that fat officer among the devils? Give it a shot. If you can hit, I'll invite you to drink old wine another day! ”

"Okay!" Bob agreed, and reached out to pull a formal rifle from the horse's coat. Pressed the bullet, pulled up the ruler, and carefully glanced at the trigger, "Smack!" "After the gunshot, he quickly pulled the bolt and unloaded the case, loading the next bullet. Looking at the target eight hundred meters away, it was no longer visible, and the devils around the target were huddled together.

"Hit! Xiaobo, you killed the brigade commander of the devil! The signal corps, reporting the good news to the commander, said that the commander of the Japanese brigade, Ishikawa Ryuichi, was shot dead by Wang Xiaobo, the commander of the guard platoon of the cavalry regiment! ”

"Yes!" The signal corps ran with excitement on his face to report the good news.

Japanese Yamada Wing. The devil in the middle of the team has already made a mess, and the brigade commander, His Excellency General Ishikawa Ryuichi, has been shot! Wing Commander Yamada hung his arms and put his arm around the brigade commander with his other unbandaged arm and called out repeatedly: "General, general!" ”

Ishikawa Ryuichi was shot in the abdomen, and blood flowed straight out of the muzzle, and the man was already unconscious. The military doctor quickly rushed to the scene and cleaned the wound, took the bullet, sutured it, applied medicine, bandaged it, and injected anti-inflammatory injections to the brigade commander. After trying all the medical methods, I saw that Ishikawa Ryuichi's face was sallow, except that he could gasp, and his appearance was no different from that of a dead person.

Come on! There will be no more broken troops, all the officers and soldiers of the wing will rush forward together, and they must rush out of Zhengzhou City before it gets dark today, and fight their way out! After the commander of the Ishikawa Brigade was shot and fell unconscious, Wing Commander Yamada once again became the supreme commander of the unit. As soon as he changed the habit of the brigade commander sending troops to break off, he directly ordered all the officers and men of the whole wing to run out together. Dead to one, alive to live together.

The attrition of the Yamada United team is very fast, but since the captain of the Yamada United has made the decision to break through regardless of Yiqiē, he doesn't care about any attrition or anything like that. Dead people are dead people, as long as you can bring the main force of the wing out safely!

The Yamada United's escape in such a desperate way really allowed them to survive. Although Ji Jinbiao's cavalry regiment was fast, it could not intercept the devil wing who were desperately fleeing; The same is true of the Chinese Tiger Chariot detachment. It's useless to be fast, it's a joke to try to cut everyone off.

After a night of pursuit, the devil finally rushed to the eastern suburbs of Zhengzhou after dawn. Today was a sunny day, and swarms of Japanese planes were overwhelming like flies to meet them. The devil really went down, he dropped bombs and strafed them, and he picked up the Yamada United with only airplanes.

In this battle, although the Yamada Wing was not completely annihilated, more than half of the complete field wing of the devil was wiped out. In the short term, it will be impossible for the Yamada Wing to regain its combat effectiveness before the Battle of Zhengzhou.

Victory! The people of the city cheered, men, women and children took to the streets, holding tea and eggs when they saw the army, holding the hands of the soldiers and asking for warmth. The officers and men of the Third Army have never enjoyed such treatment supported by the people, and it turns out that the taste of being heroes is really pleasant.

Sun Tongxuan issued a stern order to restrain the behavior of the troops entering the city and strictly prohibit harassment of the people. In this way, the Third Army was even more supported by the people of Zhengzhou.

Zhengzhou, a major railway transportation hub, has really been recovered! General Wei Lihuang, commander of the theater who received the good news, led the entire team of the first theater to Zhengzhou the next day. At the ceremony of entering the city, the people of Zhengzhou welcomed Chief Wei into the city.
