Chapter Twenty-Nine: Confession
[Anti-Japanese Iron and Blood King] Chapter 29: Offering
Dayao Village.120 Division Headquarters.
Today is the thirtieth day of the Chinese New Year's Eve, and the evening is Chinese New Year's Eve, and the leaders of the division headquarters have decided to go to each company today to express their condolences to the soldiers. In order to rush to the garrisons of the various units as soon as possible, the division commanders all got up early in the morning.
But just as Division Commander He and the others were about to set off, Director Guan excitedly trotted into the headquarters with a piece of paper, and at the same time said loudly: "Division Commander, great victory, great victory!" ”
Master He hurriedly asked: "Where did the great victory come from, it was the national government that won a great victory?" ”
"No, it's our troops, the Chanan Anti-Japanese Guerrilla Detachment!" Director Guan said loudly.
"Horse maniac! What kind of moth is this kid going on, hurry up and talk about it! Master He hurriedly said.
Director Guan read aloud according to the telegram: "Commander of the Headquarters and Division: On January 27, the 27th year of the Republic of China, our unit was attacked by more than 3,000 people of the 1st Brigade of the Japanese Army in Mongolia....... completely annihilated the two complete reinforced brigades of the invading enemy, killed 46 officers below the left of Yamada, killed more than 2,300 ordinary soldiers of the Japanese army, captured more than 300 people, and captured a lot of ammunition and materials. In addition, our unit suffered heavy casualties, totaling more than 900 people, of which 510 were killed in battle."
As soon as Director Guan's words fell, the entire division headquarters suddenly exploded, and all the officers of the division headquarters were stunned by this gorgeous battle report.
Master He froze, and then laughed, "Okay, good! It's really good, it's worthy of being a horse madman, and he knocked out a wing of infantry from the little devil at once, hahaha! ”
Deputy Division Commander Xiao looked at the telegram and said: "The Ma Zheng department I remember has only been less than two months since the last fiasco, where did he get the capital to fight hard with the little devil?" The combat effectiveness of the little devil is not weak, the infantry of a wing is at least comparable to the strength of a division of the Nationalist Government, if it is attacked and defended face-to-face, our entire 120th division may not be able to annihilate all of them? ”
"Old Xiao, do you mean to say that there is a problem with this telegram?" Master He asked with a frown.
"Well, but it is not ruled out that the Chanan anti-Japanese guerrilla detachment encountered the second-line garrison of the little devils, but even the second-line garrison is not easy to deal with!" Deputy Division Commander Xiao said in a deep voice.
Master He thought for a while and said: "I understand that this kid has a low level of education, but he is a good hand at fighting, and he dares to fight, and his brain was blown up twice, which is unique in our entire Eighth Route Army." With what I know about him, he is not so likely to lie about his exploits, so there should be no problem with the authenticity of this war report. ”
"And don't forget, that kid made a lot of money last time he hit the county seat, plus Hades Mountain is easy to defend and difficult to attack, if the little devil attacks, the casualties will definitely not be small. From what I know about a madman, he will definitely fight a counter-charge when he sees the heavy casualties of the little devil, and it is understandable to defeat the little devil. It's just a pity that there are so many casualties, 900 people, I'm afraid that the little money accumulated by the Chanan anti-Japanese guerrilla detachment in the past two months will be tossed up by that bastard boy again. ”
Deputy Division Commander Xiao nodded and said: "However, 900:2700, the ratio of casualties between the enemy and us is nearly 3:1, no matter where it is placed, it should be regarded as a great victory!" It's just that I've always been a little unsure, should I send someone to verify it and then report to the headquarters? ”
At this moment, a young staff officer hurriedly ran in from outside and said, "Report, the anti-Japanese guerrilla detachment in Chanan is in an emergency!" ”
Master He stretched out his hand and said loudly: "Take it!" ”
After reading the message, Master He laughed and said, "What a horse madman, you call back immediately and tell him that I will send someone to Chenjiayao to pick him up." ”
"Yes"
After the staff officer left, Director Guan hurriedly asked, "Division commander, what's the good news?" ”
"The madman is going to give us an offering!" Master He said with a smile.
"What's on offer?" Director Guan asked puzzled.
"Hahaha, you said that he made a foreign fortune, shouldn't he hand over some of it to our division? He disabled half of the Japanese army's brigade, and the captured weapons and equipment could arm two or three thousand people, how many people could he have in one detachment? Should the remaining weapons and equipment be handed over to the division headquarters? Master He said with a smile.
"That kid didn't say how much equipment he handed in? We have just formed two battalions of recruits, and it would be nice if he could take care of the weapons and equipment of both battalions! Director Guan said.
"There are only a few hundred people in two battalions, and if he dares to give me less than a thousand rifles, I won't smoke him!" Master He said with a smile.
"The madman didn't say when he would send it back and forth?" Director Guan asked again.
"He said that he wanted to take advantage of the fact that the little devil was stunned now and quickly sent things over, saying that the convoy had already been on the road, and he wanted us to pick up the Jinsui border." Master He said.
"Jinsui border? Does that kid still want to take the big road? Director Guan asked in surprise.
"It should be, but that kid said that there are not many Japanese troops in the southern and northern areas of Chashan, and the road should be safe, but for the sake of insurance, he still hopes that we will send a small force to pick it up."
"It's no problem to answer, we just happen to have a battalion in that area, but is this thing reliable?" Director Guan said uneasily.
"It should be reliable, but that guy also said that weapons and equipment are not given in vain, and he asked the division headquarters to prepare a batch of military uniforms for them, and they want new ones." Master He said with a smile.
"Military uniforms? How much? Minister Chen of the Ministry of Supply suddenly interjected.
"The madman didn't say anything, but he won't open his mouth to us if he wants to come up with one hundred and eighty pieces!" The implication must be significant.
Minister Chen hurriedly said: "Division commander, we really don't have many military uniforms, during this time, the army has recruited new recruits, and the military uniforms are consumed quickly, and the inventory of military uniforms is probably not even enough for a thousand sets!" ”
"Then give it all to him, people are crazy enough to be happy, and we can't buckle the rope as superiors, right?" Master He said with a smile.
"Okay, give it all to him!"
At the same time, the headquarters of the army stationed in Mongolia was gloomy. The news of the defeat of the 1st Brigade of the Independent Mixed Brigade had already reached Zhangjiakou at this time, which cast a shadow on Lieutenant General Liannuma, who had just taken over as the commander of the army stationed in Mongolia.
The 2,700 elite soldiers of the empire were all shattered, and the damage to the morale of the troops stationed in Mongolia was immeasurable. Although the matter has not yet been reported to the base camp, it is completely expected that once the matter is reported to the base camp, both he and Sakai Hoji, who directly commanded the operation, will be severely reprimanded by the base camp.
ZHANG Jiakou. At the headquarters of the Mongolian army, Lieutenant General Rennuma was holding a military meeting.
As the commander of the Japanese army in Mongolia, Liannuma Fan is undoubtedly infinitely beautiful. Although the troops under his command were not very large, there was only a three-unit infantry division and five reserve brigades. However, with a lieutenant general in charge of the defense of the entire Mongolian region, this is equivalent to a feudal official, and it is by no means an honor that an ordinary lieutenant general can have.
I didn't expect to encounter such a thing less than a month after taking office, to put it bluntly, it's really a bit unlucky, the only thing I am glad about is that this time, the seriously damaged independent mixed first brigade does not belong to the battle sequence of the Mongolian army, but belongs to the establishment of the Kwantung Army. According to the plan, Sakai's headquarters was going to return to the northeast region at the end of this month, but they didn't expect to be defeated when they left, which made Lieutenant General Hasunuma feel aggrieved for them.
After everyone arrived, Liannuma Fan forcibly suppressed the anger in his heart and said in a hard voice: "Gentlemen, I just received news that last night the Sakai Department suffered a heavy setback in the southern part of the country, and nearly three thousand imperial warriors were shattered, please join me in a silent mourning for the dead!" ”
When all the Japanese officers heard this, they immediately stood up, and then bowed their heads and bent down with solemn expressions.
After a long time, Hasunuma said in a deep voice, "Please take a seat!" ”
Then Lieutenant Hasunuma continued, "Ladies and gentlemen, can anyone tell me which unit is the one that hit Sakai hard? ”
Shi Benyin, chief of staff of the army stationed in Mongolia, stood up and said: "Report to Your Excellency Commander, according to reliable information, it is the Chanan guerrilla detachment of the Eighth Route Army that has hit Sakai hard, and this unit is a newly established guerrilla unit of the Eighth Route Army. The commander's name is Ma Zheng, a well-known general in the Eighth Route Army of China, who participated in what the GD calls the strategic transfer of the Long March. ”
"Yaga, how can a guerrilla detachment of the Eighth Road come face to face with the most elite Kwantung Army of the Imperial Japanese Army, and immediately investigate this branch of the Chinese Army!" Lieutenant General Hasunuma said loudly.
"Hay!"
"In addition, the 26th Division is ordered to immediately enter Datong, take over the defense of Datong and the surrounding areas, and protect the safety of the Pingsui Railway!"
"Hay!"
