[Anti-Japanese Iron Blood King] Chapter 318: Shouichi Terauchi leaves office (ask for subscription!) Ask for a commuter pass! )
Shouichi Terauchi knew that this was what Ma Zheng's special combat team did, and it was a response to the imperial army's massive bombing retaliation. Furious, Terauchi Shouichi immediately found Major General Katagiri, commander of the Military Police Command of the North China Front, and asked him to immediately dispatch the most elite troops under his command to fight back, and gave a death order to destroy this special combat team under Ma Zheng's command before it returned to Chahar.
However, Terauchi Shouichi really underestimated the combat effectiveness of the Thor special combat team, because the special combat team is now operating in pieces, and almost all the counties and townships close to the Suicha Military Region have traces of the special combat team's activities, and Katagiri Kuichi's military police team did not know where to start for a while.
However, Terauchi Shou was a death order, so Katagiri did not dare to slack off in the slightest, and immediately gathered all the gendarmes of the five most elite squadrons under his command and prepared to clean up all areas in the front defense area.
Katagiri didn't know much about Ma Zheng's special combat team, but he had heard by chance that there was such a small unit with strong combat effectiveness in Tubalu, but he didn't take it seriously. In his opinion, there is nothing terrible about a small army, no matter how powerful it is, there are more than 100 people, and his gendarmerie has a full 3,000 people, all of which are the most elite gendarmerie units in the empire, so there is no need to worry about it at all.
Therefore, Katagiri Kuichi ordered five squadrons to attack immediately, and put one squadron each in Tianzhen, Weixian, Yangyuan, Zhangjiakou, and Zhangbei, which were the most "affected". As soon as there is an enemy situation in that place, the gendarmerie will be sent to attack and bite the other party to the death, and then the gendarmerie troops in other places will immediately surround it and annihilate it.
But the idea is good, but the reality is cruel. It was learned that the North China Front had actually sent a gendarmerie to fight the special combat team. Ma Zheng, who was angry, immediately instructed Tie Niu and others to defeat this gendarmerie.
After receiving Ma Zheng's order, Tie Niu immediately gathered more than 200 special combat personnel in his hands, and then went straight to the front line of Tianzhen.
Tie Niu knew that the Japanese military police had a lot of people, and if the number was too small, they would not be able to eliminate the special forces in the Japanese army, so he had to clench his fists before fighting. Defeat the enemy individually.
On 11 November, the special combat team again attacked the Japanese stronghold in Wayaokou, north of Tianzhen City, killing and wounding more than 50 Japanese puppet soldiers, and also cutting off the telephone line between Wayaokou and Tianzhen County. However, in order to lure the enemy into being deceived, the special combat team did not intercept the soldiers of the Japanese army who went to the county town to ask for help.
Upon learning that the special combat team had appeared in the north of Tianzhen City, Noda Shaosa, the leader of the Fifth Squadron of the Military Police under the command of Katagiri Kuichi, immediately commanded the troops to leave the city and rushed to Wayaokou by car.
However, the confident Noda Shaoza was ambushed by the Thor Special Operations Team less than twenty minutes after leaving the city, and in less than ten minutes, an elite military police squadron of more than 200 people was completely wiped out. The speed is astounding. Even after the battle, the special combat team unhurriedly cleaned up the battlefield before leaving.
In the following two days, the 2nd Squadron of the Military Police stationed in Zhangjiakou and the 4th Squadron stationed in Yangyuan were also attacked, although they were not completely annihilated, but the losses were also extremely heavy, especially the 2nd Squadron, the reinforced squadron of more than 200 people was only 44 people after the war, including more than 20 wounded. Even if it is an elite loss, it is actually no different from total annihilation.
The information reached Beiping. Major General Katagiri Kuichi was shocked, and in anger, he immediately sent all the gendarmerie under his command to these places, and if he did not do so, he would be wiped out by this small force in the North China region and would not give up.
In his mind, there would definitely not be many people in the special combat team under Ma Zheng's department, and he thought that the Japanese Empire was so powerful, but the hundreds of thousands of troops of the North China Front could only afford to raise a wing of military police. There are certainly not many backward Chinese who want to come.
Besides, this time the movement of the Tuba Road was so big, almost the whole of North China had their figure, and it seemed that the commander of the branch had divided all the special combat teams into small formations and dispersed them to North China. Although this caused some casualties to the Imperial Army, it also gave the Imperial Army the best chance to eliminate this special combat team.
Katagiri Kuichi understood that fists were only powerful if they were clenched, and what he had thought before was too simple. That's why he scattered his forces and turned his fists into fingers, which were finally broken one by one. Now he has divided the nearly 3,000 gendarmes in his hands into six military police brigades of more than 500 people, trying to use the superior forces in his hands to break through the special combat teams under Ma Zheng's department, and finally completely wipe out the North China region.
But the idea is plump, but the reality is skinny. The movement of the Japanese army was soon learned by the Thor Special Forces, and then Tie Niu decisively issued the order to retreat, and when the Japanese military police were looking for the Thor Special Combat Team all over the world, Tie Niu and others had returned to Fengzhen.
Although Tie Niu, Xu Haifeng and others wanted to take advantage of this opportunity to clean up the Japanese army's military police, after all, through the battle, it was found that the combat effectiveness of the Japanese army's military police was really poor, and it was so much stronger than the ordinary Japanese infantry. It is not half a star worse than the special operations team of the Mongolian army that I encountered before, and it only takes a little time to destroy this gendarmerie with the combat strength of the special combat team.
However, Tie Niu and others also knew that although the combat effectiveness of the Japanese military police was not comparable to theirs, it was now fighting in an enemy-occupied area after all, and once it was entangled by someone, then no matter how powerful the Thor Special Operations Brigade was, it would not escape the fate of being annihilated in the end, and it was better to retreat.
After more than a week of encirclement and suppression, Katagiri and his gendarmerie found nothing. At this time, Terauchi Shouichi also knew that Ma Zheng's department was powerful, so he had to order the air force to suspend the bombing of Ma Zheng's department. And Ma Zheng reciprocated with a peach, and the Thor special combat team also stopped all operations, except for leaving a few combat groups to make a slight threat, the remaining team members immediately returned to Guisui.
The North China Front Army caused huge casualties and property losses to the Suicha Military Region, and also created more than 10,000 homeless refugees, causing a lot of trouble to the entire Suicha Military Region.
However, the Thunder God Special Combat Team's record in the past ten days was also extremely brilliant, not only annihilating a large number of Japanese puppet troops, but also shocking the enemy. At the same time, many railway lines, including the Pinghan Railway and the Pingsui Railway, were blown into several pieces, especially those important bridges, and even the piers were blown up, and it was impossible to completely restore to the previous level without half a year. The overturning of the military train caused a large number of casualties and property losses, which were only more than Ma Zheng's department, not less than Ma Zheng's department.
General Terauchi Shouichi also understands that it is not a matter for the two sides to continue to consume like this, no matter how powerful the air force is, it will not be able to come down to fight, and even if you blow up all the county towns of the Suicha Military Region into ruins, you will not be able to destroy Ma Zheng's headquarters. Besides, those ammunition all cost money, a 50-kilogram bomb needs at least hundreds of oceans to produce, and an airplane flying around the sky is hundreds of oceans, and the money consumed by daily bombing is unimaginable, and if metropolises like Wuhan and Chongqing are just repaid, it is really not worth wasting all of them in these small counties in North China. Therefore, if you want to destroy the horses, you have to rely on face-to-face positional battles, so you can only temporarily truce.
And Ma Zheng is the same, don't look at the special combat team seems to be invincible, and the military police team that fought the Japanese army was crushed. However, no matter how strong the combat strength of the special combat team is, there are only about 200 people, and even if you add the reserve members who are still training, it is only 500 people, and it is okay to fight a breakthrough attack, but it is completely impossible to fight those strategic points for a long time.
Besides, Ma Zheng doesn't want the special combat team that he has trained with great difficulty to be consumed with the devil like this, at present, Ma Zheng's special combat team only has Thor, which is extremely precious, and must not be consumed in meaningless fighting spirit with the little devil, and good steel must be used on the blade.
However, neither Terauchi Shouichi nor Ma Zheng expected that this fight would be the first head-to-head battle between them, and it would also be the last time they would fight. The day after the end of this battle, an order came from the Japanese base camp, and the commander of the North China Front, Terauchi Shouichi, immediately returned to Japan and was transferred to the military counselor, and the former Minister of War Sugiyama Mototo was appointed to the North China Front, and the North China Front Army ushered in the Sugiyama Yuan era.
