Chapter Twenty-Nine: False Reporting of War Exploits

Li Han did not hesitate to put on the adjutant knife, brandished the command knife of Nokan Shinichi and made a few strokes in the air before he was satisfied with the adjutant knife into the sheath. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 info

The dignified major of the National Army, but with a knife is at the rank of a captain, no wonder when he walked with the captain's knife and other colonel-level officers of the 57th Army before, he always felt a little inferior.

At the same time that Li Han took the headquarters of the devil brigade on his side, the cavalry company and the third company also broke through the devil position on the opposite side. At this point, the entire army of the Yekan Brigade was successfully annihilated, and more than 1,000 elite devils were completely annihilated.

Even Li Han himself didn't expect that the Yekan Brigade would be finished like this, which doesn't seem to fit the plot.

It stands to reason that a field brigade of the Japanese army can fight on a par with a brigade of the national army. Of course, Li Han didn't have the time to think about this, in short, it was a fact that Ye Kan's command knife was hanging on his body.

Since the devil was completely wiped out, he had no chance to destroy weapons and equipment, so Li Han captured a lot this time.

There were more than 600 rifles alone, two Japanese-made 60 shells, 23 grenadiers, 12 crooked light machine guns, five Type 92 heavy machine guns, and a number of bullets.

Of course, a brigade of devils was wiped out at once, and the casualties of the four battalions were not small, the number of dead in battle alone was close to four hundred, and the total number of light and serious wounded was more than four hundred.

As for why there are such high casualties, the main reason is that there are many devil soldiers who always pull grenades and die with our soldiers when they are in a desperate situation.

Therefore, most of the soldiers who died were recruits, because they had not been in contact with the Japanese army before, so they didn't know that the devils would be so crazy, and the veterans had dealt with the devils a lot, so they would not give the little devils a chance to get close at all.

The Fourth Battalion only relied on its own strength and skillfully used the arrogant psychology of the devils, not only disintegrating the attacks of the devils, but also annihilating a complete brigade of the Japanese army.

Sweeping away the tense and gloomy atmosphere before the war, the soldiers were full of fighting spirit and morale. Especially the recruits, the first battle won a big victory, so that they did not have the fear of the Japanese army.

This is exactly what Li Han wants to see, because since the Opium War, China has been weak for more than 100 years, resulting in many Chinese people not being able to raise their heads in front of foreigners, and ordinary people are even more afraid of offending foreigners.

To give a very simple example: if there is a conflict between the Chinese and the foreigners, even if the foreigners break the law, the national government cannot help them, and only the concession can judge the foreigners, but the concession itself is the territory of the foreigners, how can they severely punish their own people for the sake of the Chinese.

But the Chinese people are different, government officials can't help foreigners, but they won't be polite to their own people.

There are even some officials who are afraid that foreigners will lose their official positions due to dissatisfaction, and often offend the foreigners and ordinary people to death. In this way, the internal and external forces to oppress, and the common people are not afraid of foreigners.

Except for the bandits, the rest of the recruits of the fourth battalion first weakened when they heard that they were going to fight with the Japanese.

In their eyes, Japan is a great power country, and a great power means being strong, and they are very afraid when they see that ordinary people in Japan have to turn around and go to war with the armies of foreign powers.

After this battle, the soldiers found that there was nothing to be afraid of devils, and they were no different from ordinary people, they all had two shoulders against one head, and a bullet still pierced a hole.

The 13th Wing of the 6th Division of the Japanese Army was stationed.

At this time, the headquarters of the 13th Company was in a panic, and just a few minutes ago, the radio station of the wing headquarters received a farewell telegram from Nokan Shaoza. The entire staff of the wing command was stunned by the news.

A few days ago, Ye Kan Shaozuo, who was praised by the wing captain for his military exploits, was wiped out in two days, and even he himself was martyred.

Not only that, but this incident also put Wing Captain Yoshio Nagano in a crisis. All the troops in this battle attacked smoothly and suffered few casualties. Before the destruction of the Yekan Brigade, the total number of casualties of the 13th Wing was less than fifty.

However, this time, the Yekan Brigade was completely annihilated, and the casualty record of this battle was suddenly refreshed, and it was even more than double the total casualties of all Japanese troops participating in the Battle of Rehe since the campaign was launched.

In such a situation where the attack on all fronts went smoothly, the 13th Wing suffered such heavy losses, which was enough for Yoshio Nagano to go to court-martial.

In order to save his life and the black yarn hat, Yoshio Nagano personally went to his boss, the commander of the Kuroki Sadachi Brigade, to get in touch, and at the same time swore a poisonous oath not to destroy this stubborn Chinese army, so he cut himself to thank His Majesty the Emperor.

After Yoshio Nagano's hard work, Major General Sadaichi Kuroki finally decided to give his old subordinate a chance. After all, people have followed them for so many years, and they can't remove an officer at the level of Dazuo just because they lost a battle!

However, the death penalty can be avoided, and the living crime cannot be escaped, Kuroki Sadachi sent a message, asking Nagano Yoshio to eliminate this Shina force that dared to provoke the imperial army in the shortest possible time.

Even if he made up for it, otherwise, even if he wanted to protect him, the people of the military court would not be able to spare him.

In any case, this life-threatening matter has finally been resolved, and Yoshio Nagano is very grateful to Kuroki Sadachi.

Of course, Kuroki Sadachi's request was a strong nod, and at the same time, there was a pat on the chest like Kuroki Sadachi promised that he would definitely kill all the Chinese army that dared to resist the Imperial Army, and bring the head of their commander to His Excellency the Major General for collection.

After the whole Yekan brigade was annihilated, Li Han returned to Jianping County with his troops, he knew that the devil had suffered such a big loss this time, and he would definitely take revenge. Moreover, the goal of the devil is to occupy Chaoyang Road, how can he let Jianping County be in the hands of the national government and ignore it.

Because of the existence of the four battalions, there was no security regiment in Jianping County, so although the four battalions suffered more than half of the casualties, they could not be replenished for a while.

But time waits for no one, the next round of attacks by the devils will come soon, and it is too late to recruit troops now.

In the face of the upcoming more fierce battle, the current strength of the fourth battalion is too thin.

At this time, Li Han paid attention to the friendly army, and you must know that there were more than 100,000 troops in the Northeast Army in the Rehe Campaign, and the number of troops in the combat sequence of the Second Army alone amounted to 890,000.

Therefore, the first thing Li Han did when he returned to Jianping County was to send the Second Army Headquarters a telegram of the victory of the battle and a request for reinforcements.

At the same time, he did not forget to contact the 107th Brigade of the Northeast Army stationed in the Chaoyang Dao area and the Geng Jizhou Department of the Northeast Volunteer Army, hoping that they could send some troops to help him defend Jianping County.

Of course, Li Han was sure that he had sent a telegram asking Dong Futing for help, and judging from the Japanese army's offensive line, Chaoyang County was behind Jianping County, and the Japanese army would not be able to attack Chaoyang County with all its might if it did not occupy Jianping County.

This is equivalent to Li Han blocking the gun for him Dong Futing, if they collapse, the Japanese army can concentrate its forces to attack Chaoyang County with all its might, I believe that Dong Futing still understands the truth of the cold lips and teeth.

When Li Han sent the good news to the headquarters of the Second Group Army, both Zhang Zuoxiang and Tang Yulin were laughed at angrily, obviously they thought that Li Han's good news was too unreliable.

Even Tang Yulin said to his side: He always thought that Li Han was an honest man, but he didn't expect that it would be more terrible for an honest person to falsely report his military exploits.

Tang Yulin also has a reason for saying this, thinking about the more than 70,000 people under the command of the second group, the losses caused to the devils these days are only hundreds.

He Li Han can completely annihilate a battalion of devils and a brigade, does he think that he is leading a heavenly soldier and a heavenly general, and his own troops are all wine bags and rice eggs.

However, remembering the fact that Jianping County is still in Li Han's hands, Tang Yulin does not intend to hold Li Han accountable for his great exploits.

After all, this kind of thing was too common during the Republic of China, and everyone was used to it. There is a more important point: Jianping County is still in the hands of Li Han, which is enough.

As long as Li Han can keep stopping the Japanese army in Jianping County, even if Li Han says that he killed the Japanese emperor, Tang Yulin can accept it.

Since the beginning of the war, the units of the Second Army have collapsed at the touch of a button, and in just two days, the Japanese army has advanced to Jianping County.

This is still because of Li Han's stubborn resistance, otherwise at this time, the Japanese army may have taken Chaoyang.

Tang Yulin even felt that if there were a few more subordinates like Li Han under his command, the Japanese would not have taken the Redong region so quickly.

It's a pity that there is only one Li Han, and he is also a person from He Zhuguo. However, Tang Yulin has already decided that if he can survive this hurdle this time, he will poach Li Han.

For various reasons, Tang Yulin finally decided to send a battalion of troops to support Li Han. Of course, the soldiers of this battalion will definitely not be Tang Yulin's regular army, at this time he himself thinks that the troops are not enough, where is there any extra troops to reinforce Li Han.

However, like the Northeast Volunteer Army, which is poorly equipped and is still a ragtag army composed of civilians and farmers, Tang Yulin is still willing to do it, anyway, he has a few regiments of volunteer troops in his hands, and it has no impact on Li Han to give a battalion.

Of course, this battalion was not given to Li Han in vain, and he asked Li Han to hold on to Jianping for at least three days to buy time for the large army.

However, Li Han didn't have time to pay attention to Tang Yulin's order for the time being, because at this moment he was chatting with Dong Futing at the brigade headquarters of the 107th Brigade.

It stands to reason that Li Han is just a major battalion commander, and Dong Futing is a major general and brigade commander of the 107th Brigade, and the two are not at the same level at all.

One is a major general, the other is a major, if this is placed in peacetime, it will be difficult for Li Han to see others, let alone sit together and chat

When Dong Futing heard that Li Han was coming, his head was immediately clouded, and in his circle of friends, he still didn't remember a person named Li Han, and finally the adjutant reminded him that Li Han was the battalion commander who was responsible for holding Jianping County.

After the adjutant reminded him of this, Dong Futing immediately reacted, so he hurriedly asked Li Han to come in. supervise

Futing is not Tang Yulin, he is not in the rear of Chengde, although the 107th Brigade has not yet come into contact with the devil, but in the past two days, there has been such a big movement in Jianping County, and it is impossible for Dong Futing, who is next to Jianping County, not to know about it.

Although he didn't know the specific casualty figures of the devils, Dong Futing knew that the devils must have suffered a big loss at the hands of Li Han, and you must know that the people he sent out to report that the Japanese military supplies captured by Li Han had been transported for a whole day by more than a dozen large trucks and hundreds of soldiers.
