Chapter 131: Special Operations Detachment Seppuku, Yamamoto
In just three days, the three special combat detachments, which had gone through hardships and dangers, successfully completed their scheduled tasks, and now they have finally returned victoriously and returned to their home -- Jiangxinzhou.
At 8:40 a.m. on 22 May, on the sandbank, the training ground in Jiangxinzhou.
Xiao Xiong, Gao Qixing, Xiong Qiang, Zhang Shan, Jiang Feng and other leaders of the anti-enemy special forces in northern Jiangxi, as well as all the brothers on Jiang Xinzhou, they all stood quietly and solemnly, and they all watched together as they disembarked from the wooden boats not far away one after another, and were rushing towards their hunter team.
At 8:50 a.m., 22 brothers had returned from the battle, and they were all standing in a line.
The team stood still, only to see Wang Xiaofei take a step forward, raise his hand to Xiao Xiong and salute, and shouted loudly:
"Report to the commander, the first detachment of the Hunters has completed its mission, come back on time to report for duty, and now request to return to the team."
"Agree to return to the team!" Xiao Xiong replied.
Nine members of the team stood at the front of the brigade.
Li Minghua stepped out of the queue for the second time and shouted loudly:
"Report to the commander, the 11 members of the second detachment of the hunter team have completed their tasks, and all of them have come back on time to report, and now I ask to return to the team."
"Agree to return to the team!" Xiao Xiong replied.
The second detachment stood behind Wang Xiaofei's detachment.
After that, Liu Junshan and Wan Guisong walked over slowly with Jiang Donghai in their arms.
They walked up to Xiao Xiong, raised their hands together, saluted Xiao Xiong, and Liu Junshan reported loudly:
"Report to the commander, the third detachment of the hunter team has completed the task, and Liu Junshan and Jiang Donghai have returned on time. Check in. Now request to return to the team. β
Xiao Xiong raised his hand to return the salute. He didn't speak, his gaze crossed the three people standing in front of him, looked at the Yangtze River flowing silently in the distance, and looked at the silent Lushan Mountain, and his right hand was not put down for a long time.
The audience was silent, and all eyes were on their commander.
Gao Qixing stared at his watch, and the sound of "tick, tick" from the second hand of the watch was clearly audible. Finally. The hour, minute and second hands in the watch coincide with the figure "9".
Gao Qixing suddenly shouted loudly:
"It's timeβ"
With the shout, Xiao Xiong withdrew his gaze, his eyes were moist, he looked at the heroic soldier in front of him, and slowly raised his hand to salute them solemnly.
He put down the right hand he had been holding, stepped forward, tightened the somewhat loose bandages on Jiang Donghai's body, and then took a few steps back, facing all the team members, and shouted loudly:
"The third detachment is back!" Everyone silently just walked behind Li Minghua and Liu Junshan, Jiang Donghai and Wan Guisong.
"The brethren who participated in the war obeyed the order: Stand up! Turn back! "Suddenly. Xiao Xiong gave the order.
The 22 team members turned around and faced the group.
Then. Xiao Xiong shouted loudly again:
"Except for the brethren who went to war. All of you, salute the brethren who have returned from the war! Salute! β
The brothers present raised their right hands as they brushed and gave a solemn military salute to the heroic hunters.
Wang Xiaofei, Li Minghua, Liu Junshan and the 22 returning brothers couldn't help but burst into tears, and at the same time raised their right hands and gave a solemn military salute to everyone.
"Put it down. All of them have -- check the guns, empty chambers! Raise your gun, fire your gun into the air, and salute the brothers who died in this battle! β
All the brothers pulled the bolt of the gun in unison, and with Xiao Xiong's order, everyone pulled the trigger, and the sound of metal hitting was loud. Especially Liu Junshan and Jiang Donghai, with tears in their eyes, they pulled the trigger again and again.
At this time, although there was no gunshot, in the hearts of the brothers, the sacrificed comrades-in-arms and brothers would definitely be able to hear their gunfire......
Five German-made Mauser sniper rifles, plus five Japanese-made Type 97 sniper rifles and 10 Type 99 sniper rifles that were taken from the devil this time, are all placed on the table in the conference room of the headquarters at this moment.
Now, the Einsatzgruppen has 20 sniper rifles at once, and all of them are brand new, which is something that Xiao Xiong didn't expect, and what is particularly exciting.
Xiao Xiong and the others have already reported in detail the details of this operation and the results of this operation to the Ninth Theater Commander's Headquarters. Although the superiors had already known the information that the combat meeting of the 11th Army of the Devils on Lushan had been forced to cancel because of the attack, and they also knew the information that the heavy military columns reinforced by the Devils to the Zhejiang-Jiangxi Line had been bombed, and both actions had a huge negative impact on the Devils' battles, and they were the main forces of the national army that directly supported the Zhejiang-Jiangxi Battle.
However, what they did not expect was that these major military operations were actually completed by Xiao Xiong's special operation team of the Northern Jiangxi Anti-Enemy Special Forces, which is really unbelievable. The commanders lamented that it may be difficult to have such a positive impact by mobilizing troops at the army and division levels to organize military operations.
The Commander's Department gave a great credit to all the combatants in this operation, each of whom was promoted to one level, and all of them were given heavy material rewards. Special pensions are given to those who died in battle. The headquarters also gave rewards to all the special soldiers, but Xiao Xiong and all the officers decided to give their bonuses to all the officers and men.
In addition, the theater decided to replenish them with some weapons and ammunition, and at the same time told them that the current situation on the Zhejiang-Jiangxi front was critical, and ordered them to take action and actively cooperate with the large army to fight.
Xiao Xiong got so many "treasures" at once, and he was so happy in his heart. In his heart, since the establishment of the Einsatzgruppen, he believed that it was impossible to conduct large-scale operations behind enemy lines, because this was a place heavily guarded by the enemy, and the troops were far away from their main forces, and it would be difficult to make a difference, even if they paid a heavy price.
However, small-scale special operations may be an effective mode of operation in battles behind enemy lines.
Not long ago, he received a study document from his superiors, which was Mr. Mao Zedong's "On Protracted War." He also doesn't remember reading it a few times. Anyway, he completely agrees with the truth explained by Mao Zedong in the article.
He felt that it was to fight a protracted war with the little devils. Let's see who can afford it. Whoever wins in the end.
Fight guerrilla warfare. Fighting special warfare, fighting asymmetrical warfare, etc., these are the crystallization of Xiao Xiong's recent thinking.
In addition to several senior military officers, Wang Xiaofei, Li Minghua, and Liu Junshan were also seated in the conference room.
"Brothers, we are now an upstart, God help me, the special operations detachment of the Einsatzgruppen can be formed immediately. In this battle, the Hunters made great contributions. Lots of credit. Xiao Xiong couldn't hide the excitement in his heart and said to everyone.
"Now, I announce: the Einsatzgruppen Special Operations Detachment has been officially established. The captain is concurrently Captain Zhang Shan, and the deputy captain is Wang Xiaofei. At the same time, Wang Xiaofei concurrently served as the captain of the first team, with a total of 6 people; Li Minghua, the leader of the second squad, a total of 6 people; Liu Junshan, the leader of the third squad, a total of 6 people. The team members are all the participants except for the five who were seriously injured in this battle, and the current tentative number is 18. In the future, the corresponding manpower will be increased according to the situation changes. β
Everyone applauded warmly, slapped each other, and were overjoyed.
"Wait a minute, after the meeting is over. You will each go to Chief of Staff Xiong Qiang to get the list. Brethren, 18 of you. It is 18 heroes, 18 demon killer iron arhats, and 18 swords hanging over the heads of little devils and traitors. I believe that you will not disappoint everyone's expectations, these sniper rifles must take the lives of devils and traitors, and guns will play the prestige of our Einsatzgruppen. β
Yamamoto searched for the Einsatzgruppen everywhere in Jiujiang City like a mad dog, and almost turned the entire Jiujiang City over. However, he was so disappointed that he could not find a single hair of the Einsatzgruppen.
Not only that, but these bold guys dared to enter the station and took away all the sniper rifles that were going to be given to those snipers on the front line.
At this time, he stayed in his temporary headquarters, that is, inside the church, in a panic, and he was anxiously waiting for the punishment decision given to him by Commander Anan of the 11th Army Headquarters.
He couldn't figure out how the Einsatzgruppen had so much ability and courage to dare to go up the mountain to attack the heavily defended Green Forest Hotel, and even attack his own city defense headquarters in an incredible way. He also couldn't figure out that the heavy military column could be said to be leakless in defense. But it was devastated by the enemy, and in this way inexplicably almost lost a heavy offensive wing of tanks, armored vehicles and artillery.
Xiao Xiong, Xiao Xiong, you are really my nemesis, after coming to China from Japan, especially after coming to the rich Ganbei Plain, I thought that I could quickly get promoted and make a fortune here. However, thanks to your "gift", I may be coming to the end of this life today.
Yamamoto was very remorseful, regretting that he didn't eliminate Xiao Xiong and his special team in time, and they pushed him to a dead end step by step.
Suddenly, the phone on the desk rang. Yamamoto shuddered and picked up the phone.
"Is it Yamamoto-kun?" On the other end of the line came the majestic voice of Commander Ananvi.
"Hi Yi! I am. β
"Yamamoto-kun, I have already reported the recent defense situation in Jiujiang and northern Jiangxi to the base camp. When the commanders of the base camp heard this, they were very angry and demanded that those who failed in their duties be severely punished. I can't help you this time. They have sent General Taro Aso of Wuhu to Jiujiang to take over your work. Please cooperate with him. At the same time, ask the special high division of the 11th Army to send personnel to Jiujiang to assist Aso-kun and send you to Tokyo to be tried by a military court. I'm sorry! Yamamoto-kun, I can only help you up to now, you should resign yourself to fate. β
Putting down the phone, Yamamoto sat down on the couch in frustration, curled up, his eyes glazed and staring blankly at the telephone in front of him. Anger, frustration, unwillingness, and despair all came to my heart at once.
Suddenly, he stood up suddenly, stepped behind his desk in a few steps, and removed the war knife that hung on the wall.
He took out a snow-white handkerchief from his pocket and slowly and carefully polished the sword.
He untied the opening on his chest and stared at the sword that had served him for a long time.
Facing the plaster flag on the wall and the portrait of the emperor attached to the wall, he turned his sword upside down and pointed the tip of the knife at his abdomen. (To be continued......)
