Chapter 244: Border Storm (6)
Rumble!
Da-da-da-da!
Wiping the black ash caused by the gunsmoke on his face, Major General Nakajima's hideous face was revealed, and hatred flashed in his eyes, but along with hatred, there was also worry and panic, he was already surrounded, and now it was not the time to think about how to take revenge on the other party, but how to escape.
"Damn the Chinese pig, sooner or later let them understand the power of the Great Japanese Empire!"
In fact, Major General Nakajima was not surprised by the defection of the Chinese division, this is not the first time that such a thing has happened, it is naturally difficult for different countries to integrate together, and even if it can, it will take a long time. Moreover, the Chinese have always had great ambitions, and once they reach a certain position, it is difficult for them to be loyal to others, especially foreigners.
Rear Admiral Nakajima had arrogantly surrounded the stragglers of the Japanese 21st Infantry Division half an hour earlier, and he did not give the order for the massacre, because he knew the character of these people, and as long as some of the officers were killed, they would still serve the Japanese Empire. It is impossible to sacrifice training for such a long time, it is a waste of resources, and it is this kind of thinking of Major General Nakajima that has made him fall to such a point.
He was reluctant to kill the soldiers of the 21st Infantry Division, so after the arrival of Kneasov, Major General Nakajima had to flee in embarrassment, and the artillery battalion was found and eliminated as soon as possible. Without strong firepower, and the opponent's number has already surpassed his own, does Major General Nakajima want to burn everything? He didn't want to die, with this identity and status, he also wanted to be promoted to lieutenant general and general, so he chose to retreat.
In fact, if Major General Nakajima chooses a side to attack desperately, then the result may change. But he chose to retreat...... It is estimated that he forgot that the biggest characteristic of Chinese soldiers is to fight with the wind. The 21st Infantry Division, whose morale had already fallen to the extreme, did not just wait for reinforcements. And the fierce Japanese actually began to flee. Yes, in their eyes, retreat and flight are a concept.
Glory and hatred poured out at this time, and the soldiers of the 21st Infantry Division, who had been beaten and could not raise their heads at all, also forgot the horror and physical exhaustion of the other party, and they rushed out like wolves, heading straight for the retreating Major General Nakajima.
The 6,000 elite Japanese army was only killed or wounded more than 100 when attacking, but with Major General Nakajima's retreat order, when he joined Lieutenant General Yoshida, there were less than 1,500, and the rest were not all killed, but were scattered on the way to retreat.
The 21st Infantry Division did not have the slightest suspense about the incorporation of Karasov. They directly chose to agree, and as a result, the number of Karasov's troops was increased to 7,600 men, although there was a slight shortage of armaments due to the increase in numbers, but there was no problem in attacking Lieutenant General Yoshida.
It was also very strange to pinch Karasov at this time, no matter how you think that Major General Nakajima also has a fight with them, but why did he choose to run away directly? It shouldn't be! Major General Nakajima has also been in contact with Karasov before, he is not a straw bag, and he is also a rather fierce character, such an action is really incomprehensible, or is there any trap in it?
The trap of yarn. Major General Nakajima realized that his artillery battalion had been dismantled, and then pinched Karasov when the army rushed out. He was the first to mistakenly believe that this was reinforcements from the Russian Empire. He had also fought dozens of battles with the Russian army, but he was well aware of the horrors of the other side. Seeing that the number of "reinforcements" is still quite large, where does Major General Nakajima dare to continue fighting? A thousand Russian troops can completely abuse them 2,000, and the combat effectiveness can be equal to 3,000, and these more than 3,000 reinforcements have no problem fighting with one of their divisions, he doesn't want to die.
This was the main reason for Major General Nakajima's escape, but the suspicion of pinching Karasov also brought benefits to the Japanese side, and Major General Nakajima was able to escape safely, and when he was about to join Lieutenant General Yoshida, he happened to run into Yu Zhanshanbu, who was about to attack Lieutenant General Yoshida's back, and there was no doubt that the two sides were directly opposed.
The exchange of fire from behind made Lieutenant General Yoshida startled, it couldn't be the arrival of reinforcements from the Russian Army! Just when he was scared, more than 50 Russian air force planes suddenly appeared in his sight......
"Retreat!"
The same mistake also appeared in the case of Lieutenant General Yoshida, who was even more afraid of the Russian Imperial Army than Major General Nakajima, and the superiority of the equipment and the personal qualities of the soldiers made the Japanese army run away in embarrassment when facing the Russian Army, and they were really a little afraid.
However, 100,000 Russian Imperial Army was able to ensure the stability of the border, the main reason was that the Japanese military was already afraid, and when the Russian Empire became the New Russian Empire, Japan almost never won a war. Defeated, defeated, defeated! Two thousand dead and wounded, thirty thousand, this is the most common report in the Japanese army base camp.
The roaring Russian Air Force made Hu Xuanting very confused, but now is not the time to be confused, he is also a generation of famous generals, ready to perceive Lieutenant General Yoshida's actions and then make precise arrangements, a sharp knife battalion directly cut off the connection between a wing and Lieutenant General Yoshida, Hu Xuanting's actions undoubtedly made Lieutenant General Yoshida startled. Could it be that they have already been connected with the Russian Army? This air force and reinforcements are here to rescue them? Without much thought, Lieutenant General Yoshida, who had fled for his life, urged him to give the order to retreat just now.
What Lieutenant General Yoshida didn't know was that his actions completely abandoned Major General Nakajima, who helped him to surround his back and was used as a tool for severing his back. The Air Force continued to pursue Lieutenant General Yoshida, but Hu Xuanting did not chase but attacked Major General Nakajima together with Yu Zhanshanbu, and then pinched Karasov to catch up, and the front and rear flanking attacks made Major General Nakajima hopeless to escape.
In the small ravine, there are less than 200 of the thousands of elite Japanese troops who are now with Major General Nakajima, and at a glance at the ribs that have been withdrawn, Major General Nakajima's lips trembled slightly, and he finally put the knife back in the scabbard, after all, such a thing as seppuku is not something that everyone can do, at least Major General Nakajima can't do it.
"Surrender!"
"Nani?"
Several hideous-looking officers around him glanced at Major General Nakajima in confusion, they felt that it must have been an illusion just now, and Major General Nakajima, who was a high-ranking member of the Kwantung Army, would never say anything like surrender.
"Let's surrender!"
This time it was clear, but the young officers were furious. They are not Major General Nakajima, they uphold the glory of the emperor, and they believe that seppuku is a noble way to die. Just now, when Major General Nakajima pulled out the ribs, they looked at their boss with admiration, and their eyes were full of determination and death, as long as Major General Nakajima died, then they would have no hesitation, but then Major General Nakajima actually put the ribs back and then said surrender, how could they bear it?
"Baga!"
A young officer with a violent personality slapped Major General Nakajima in the face, and although the Japanese military is strict in rank, similar things often happen at the same time. Once the boss violates some unspoken rules, then it is normal not to say that it is very normal to slap it and stab it directly.
"Shame, this is a shame for the great Kwantung Army, a shame for the Army!"
As he spoke, the young officer had already removed the ribs that Major General Nakajima had put back, and his purpose was very simple, that is, to kill Major General Nakajima and then commit suicide, but ...... Major General Nakajima is not the only one who doesn't want to die.
Yikes!
The sound of a sharp blade cutting into the flesh came, and the young officer glanced at the half-cut steel blade protruding from his chest with some incredulity, and he wanted to turn back to see who had done it, but his broken heart did not allow him to do so, and finally he fell to the ground, in front of Major General Nakajima, who had been indifferent since he said surrender.
"I know your purpose very well, so I'll be in charge of this matter!"
Saying this, Major General Nakajima stood up, and then walked outside, and the remaining young officers looked at his back and bowed, as if to say please, Nakajima-kun!
The living Major General Nakajima is very important to these officers, because at that time they can put all the blame on Major General Nakajima, after all, he is the real supreme person. It doesn't matter if they die, knowing that when the news of the surrender reaches Japan, their families will also be affected, and it is estimated that several women in the family will serve the soldiers on the front line......
If Rear Admiral Nakajima were alive and bore most of the responsibility, then although they would have also surrendered, the main culpability would have been borne by Rear Admiral Nakajima's family, whose family could not avoid it, but at least they would have been able to make their wives and daughters suffer less.
The battle in Haining County is over, but the result is something that most people did not expect. Of the five Japanese infantry divisions, three mutinied, one was completely destroyed, and only a quarter of the divisions were composed of Japanese, and even the division commander, Major General Nakajima, was taken prisoner.
Hu Xuanting, Yu Zhanshan, the two of them were invited to a temporary command headquarters for the first time, they knew very well what they were about to face, but for them there was no apprehension and fear, the only thing maybe was excitement and nervousness, compared to Japan, maybe the Russian Empire was their best choice.
"General Hu and General Yu, you have made a correct choice."
Hu Xuanting didn't expect to pinch Karasov's Chinese so well, but he didn't show a surprised look, his position was completely able to do everything with the same look. They naturally knew very well what they meant by pinching Karasov, but they didn't say anything, after all, no matter how correct the choice was, they couldn't escape the essence of the three family slaves.
The silence of the two pinched Karasov and he was not dissatisfied, he just smiled and said: "Haining County is the territory of Huaxia, we agree with this very much, and we will need two generals in the future." ”
The Russian Empire also saw the unreliability of its Chinese allies, and hoped that the warlords in the northeast might as well train two puppets to control here, not to mention that they would at least be able to share some of the pressure brought by Japan. After all, the current Russian Empire is not the Russian Empire of the past, and it is far from being able to compete with Japan in terms of population and economy, and its only advantage may be that their army makes the enemy fearful.
