Unlike the headquarters of the Eighth Route Army, which was full of laughter and laughter, the headquarters of the North China Dispatch Army was gloomy and gloomy, and all the elite soldiers of the 3,000 empires were shattered, and the morale damage caused to the entire North China Dispatch Army was immeasurable. The commander of the North China Dispatch Army, Terauchi Shouichi, had already been reprimanded by the base camp, and the commander of the Fifth Division, Seishiro Itagaki was even more marked as an incompetent Itagaki by the base camp, which made Itagaki Seishiro, who had always boasted of being able to fight well, feel extremely humiliated, and vowed to find out the army that had given him endless shame, and then crush his bones and scatter ashes.

The headquarters of the North China Dispatch Army, Terauchi Shouichi is holding a military meeting. As the commander of the North China Dispatch Army, Terauchi Shouichi is undoubtedly infinitely beautiful. Since the outbreak of the war in early July this year, the entire North China Front has been like a bamboo, with Beiping, Tianjin, Taiyuan, and Zhangjiakou ...... The famous cities that left their prestige in the history of China succumbed to the iron hooves of the army under their command, and all the forces that dared to resist were either crushed by the advancing chariots of the North China Front or were captured in prisoner camps. But just yesterday, more than 3,000 elite soldiers of the empire who cooperated with the chariot unit were wiped out on the way to the aid of Tianzhen County, which was unbelievable.

Terauchi Shouichi forcibly suppressed the anger in his heart, and said in a hard voice: "Gentlemen, who knows how the more than 3,000 elites of the Fifth Division were wiped out, and it was the army of Zhina?" ”

Major General Okabe Naosaburo, Chief of Staff, thought for a while and said: "Your Excellency, Commander, judging from the news sent back by the Fifth Division, this China Army should belong to the China [***] battle sequence, [***] The Eighth Route Army is now being defeated by the Eighth Route Siege of His Excellency the Commander, and the army is too busy to take care of itself, how can there be so many troops to destroy the Datong reinforcements." But whether it is or not, the intelligence department still does not have a definite answer. ”

"Yo Xi, Okabe-kun's judgment is reasonable, more than 3,000 elites of the Imperial Army, and with a tank squadron and 5 cavalry squadrons, to completely annihilate such a huge force, in terms of the combat effectiveness of the Chinese army, at least three divisions must be used. And from beginning to end, Yuichiro Nagano did not send tactical guidance, it can be seen that the attack they received was very sudden, the enemy had an absolute advantage from the beginning, they did not even have a chance to resist, the forensic doctor judged according to the wounds on the soldiers' bodies, all the soldiers were killed by the enemy with guns, and the vast majority of them were machine guns, it can be known that this Chinese army is equipped with a lot of automatic firepower. Based on the above information, we can basically determine that the more than 3,000 elites of Yuichiro Nagano were the regular army of the Kuomintang and even the Central Army. Terauchi Shouichi said hatefully.

Lieutenant General Okabe Naosaburo said: "Your Excellency, the news has just come from the reconnaissance plane, and since yesterday when the news was received, Taiyuan Airport has sent an aviation squadron of reconnaissance planes to conduct large-scale reconnaissance in Tianzhen, Yanggao, Datong, Yangyuan, Weixian, and even the vast areas of Chahar Province, but there is no news of that branch of the troops, as if it disappeared out of thin air. ”

"The base camp is very dissatisfied with yesterday's incident, and wants us to come up with a plan as soon as possible to avenge the more than 3,000 imperial warriors. But we are now vigorously attacking the Kuomintang army in Shandong and the Eighth Route Army in the Shanxi-Hebei border region, how can we still have the strength to find and encircle and annihilate this elusive Chinese army. Terauchi Shou said helplessly.

Lieutenant General Okabe Naosaburo did not say a word, and the deputy chief of staff, Major General Shozo Kawabe, said respectfully: "Your Excellency, Commander, my post has judged that the Chinese army should be in the area of Tianzhen, Yanggao, Datong, Yangyuan, and Weixian, and it is impossible for them to go far from last night until now. Now we must order all units to guard against the sneak attack of the Chinese troops, especially Yangyuan, which is the logistics base for our army's eight-way encirclement and suppression, and there is no room for error. Otherwise, the Eight-Way Siege will be self-defeating. ”

Shouichi in the temple said with relief: "Yo Xi, the riverside gentleman thinks very well, very good." I have ordered all departments to strictly guard against the sneak attack of the Chinese army, especially the central Chinese army. The intelligence organs of the military department should pay close attention to the movements of the Central Army and the Jin Sui Army in North China, and at the same time try their best to search for the mysterious Chinese army, please! Long live the Empire! Long live His Majesty the Emperor! ”

"Long live the Great Empire!"

"Long live His Majesty the Emperor!"

………….

Terauchi Shouichi held a military meeting on his side, but Han Yunhua held a summary meeting on his side, and all officers above the squadron leader (company commander) level had to attend.

Han Yunhua and more than 40 squadron and brigade-level officers sat around to discuss the lessons of the war. Han Yunhua was the first to speak: "Comrades, let's first let Political Commissar Shen Yuquan summarize the battle for us. ”

Shen Yuquan was not hypocritical, and said loudly: "In this battle, we annihilated more than 3,000 elite people of the enemy's Fifth Division with inferior troops, and played the prestige of the Eighth Route Army and the Mengji Anti-Japanese Detachment, and achieved unprecedented results, which is worthy of our pride and pride, you did not embarrass the Party Central Committee, did not embarrass the headquarters of the Eighth Route Army, and did not embarrass the head of our Han Yunhua detachment, I thank you all here!" The humble venue burst into warm applause, and everyone laughed.

Then, Han Yunhua said: "The results are obvious, but there are also many problems. This battle also exposed some serious problems, and some soldiers began to shout and persuade them to surrender when they saw that there were not many devils left, and even rushed directly to catch prisoners, even ignoring the wounded of devils. Many of our soldiers were not killed at the height of the battle, but were shot black by the remnants and wounded soldiers of the devils at the end of the battle, so that the wounded and killed soldiers accounted for at least a quarter of the total casualties of this battle, which really hurts my heart. ”

Chen Shangming, the captain of the Fourth Brigade, asked: "Detachment leader, what should we do, don't take prisoners and kill them all?" ”

Shen Yuquan laughed and scolded: "Crazy Chen, you dare to go crazy in front of the detachment leader, and you can't do it." Have you completely forgotten the discipline of our Eighth Route Army, you are asking the detachment leader to violate discipline, you can just make up your own mind about this kind of thing, don't ask the detachment leader. "Everyone knows that the political commissar is protecting the detachment leader, but the Eighth Route Army troops are strictly forbidden to kill prisoners, and if something happens in the future, it will save Han Yunhua from implicating Han Yunhua.

Han Yunhua glanced at Shen Yuquan gratefully and said, "To measure whether an army is a mighty army, we must see whether it can defeat a strong enemy on the battlefield; To discern whether an army is a benevolent army or not, it is necessary to look at how it treats prisoners of war. We are the Eighth Route Army led by [***], not the army of bandit warlords, so we do not kill prisoners, but treat enemy prisoners preferentially, and treat wounded soldiers. Resolutely refuse the enemy's involuntary surrender on the firing line before the fighting ceases, in order to prevent the attack of the suicide surname of the army's surrendered soldiers. However, those who have already been captured with guns should be dealt with after political propaganda in various ways, and should not be further harmed because they refuse to carry out some of our army's rules and regulations. But the premise of all this is that the army is willing to be captured by our army, and if it is not willing to be captured by our army, then it is another matter. I now announce five disciplines: 1. The guns will not stop fighting, and our army will only capture those soldiers who are willing to be taken prisoner. 2. Whoever holds a weapon in his hand will be treated as an enemy, and as long as he does not lay down his weapon for a moment, then he who stands opposite us will be the aggressor who has invaded our great motherland, and I will not need to teach him how to deal with the aggressor. 3. Our army cannot approach the wounded soldiers of the Chinese army until they take the initiative to call for help, and these wounded are the backbone of the fighting cadres of the Chinese army, whose hands are stained with the blood of our compatriots. Moreover, the wounded of the army will launch a suicide attack at any time, telling the soldiers to beware that if the wounded of the army move, they will be greeted with bullets and will not be merciful. 4. As long as they are over the age of 16, the expatriates, ronin, and female medical personnel of the Republic of China have consciously and voluntarily participated in the war of aggression, and in their eyes the war of aggression against China is the so-called 'holy war', and these people are all treated as completely normal soldiers of the Japanese army, but they are absolutely not allowed to kill the children of the Japanese army. 5. The captured soldiers' notes, notes, photographs, and other texts and surnames must be handed over as soon as possible, and those who are willing to surrender and be prisoners must not harm them. Did you hear me clearly? ”

"I heard you!" Everyone said in unison, and all the cadres heard it, the detachment leader wanted to kill all the devils and didn't want the soldiers to become murderous!

Hu Tao and Li Yaoguo, as well as several squadron leaders who had just joined the Mengji Anti-Japanese Detachment, were all shocked, this young detachment leader with a full face was really ruthless. No wonder the attention of the Fifth Division of the Army and the heavily guarded county town is really not simple.

Li Dayong asked aloud: "What should we do next, the detachment leader, have we been staying in this mountain nest all this time?" ”

"Hehe, Lao Li, can't stay still after just a day off? Don't worry, you've got you covered. After a long day's rest, most of the fighters' physical strength has recovered, and we will set off after dinner, and this is our goal for today. Han Yunhua pointed to a place on the map and said.

Li Dayong and the others looked at it intently, and the place name on the map was impressive -- Yangyuan. (New book release, ask for recommendation votes, ask for collection!!! I hope you can leave your suggestions in the book review area after reading the book!! Aotian is grateful!! ）
