Chapter 300: Frightened by day and dark by night
From the dispatch of the summoning of all military commanders in Nanjing City, to the meeting of the headquarters to discuss countermeasures, to the news that the commander of the 68th Wing, Takashi Takashi Takamori, was killed, and then the commander of the 103rd Infantry Brigade was broken.
Matsui Ishone, who was staying at the headquarters, immediately realized that the attack and explosion that occurred in the 16th Division was actually just the beginning. The real intention of the other party was to come at these commanders of the Japanese garrison in the city.
Even if it is him, the commander, I am afraid that it is also the target of the other party. In view of this situation, Matsui immediately sent a telegram telling the commanders who had not yet arrived to return to their respective stations immediately and not to go out at will.
Not long after, around the already heavily guarded headquarters, defensive forces were again added. At this moment, gunshots and explosions were found again in the area where the 16th Division was stationed, and Matsui Ishine also realized that he was in trouble.
'Order the 3rd Tank Wing, give me the fastest speed to the area where the incident occurred, and make sure to ensure the safety of General Nakajima!' ’
As a result, not long after the chariot wing left the camp, the 16th Division sent a telegram that their division commander, Nakajima Imako, had unfortunately been killed. Next to the corpse, a black life-seeking note was also found.
Like the previous post, this post has a red killing character on one side and the name of the person who was killed on the other. Based on Toshiaki Mukai and Takeshi Noda, who were killed before, Matsui Ishine guessed that this was an act of revenge.
These people acted as accomplices and executioners in the city of Nanjing. For such killings, Matsui Ishine originally disagreed. It's just that he knew that the defense of Nanjing was too hard, and the Japanese army needed to vent.
Secondly, he assisted in the battle, and succeeded him as the commander of the Shanghai Dispatch Army, King Hatohiko of Asakanomiya issued an order in advance to 'kill all the captured personnel', which eventually led to the tragic Nanjing Massacre.
Even if the other party is just a lieutenant general, but the identity of the prince makes Matsui Shigen dare not accuse anything. After enduring huge international public criticism, King Hatohiko of Asaka Palace was summoned back to China ahead of schedule.
As for the person who gave this order, it seems that he has become Matsui Ishine. At present, these black life-seeking posts are undoubtedly revenge for the Nanjing Massacre by the Japanese army. Those who are involved in this matter are afraid that they will be in trouble.
Thinking of this, looking at the third block where the battle had taken place earlier, Matsui Shigen quickly said: "Order the garrison troops in the city, as well as the infantry wings of the 16th Division, to carry out a dragnet investigation in this area.
The other party is not one or two people, but a group of people. From the information we have, this should be the work of the elite troops on the Chinese side. If they are not found, the city of Nanjing will not be at peace in the future.
Secondly, the troops who had fought with the other side before reported a key piece of news, that is, the other side impersonated us. The troops guarding the city gate were strictly ordered to immediately close all passages out of the city and strictly check for suspicious persons.
Soldiers of any unit were not allowed to leave the city without the permission of the command. If someone goes out of town, they must be fakes. Order our garrison to be sure to annihilate them in the city of Nanjing. ”
When Matsui Shigen gave the order to blockade the whole city, Song Yuping led the special combat team members and had already chosen a hiding place before they arrived. A place that many people would not have thought of, among the ruined houses in the city of Nanjing.
After the massacre of the Japanese army in Nanjing City before, in addition to the Japanese army and some Japanese expatriates, there are also some so-called 'good people' who dare to wander around the much empty city of Nanjing, and the rest of the surviving people are staying in the international security zone.
With regard to these international security zones, under the tremendous pressure of international public opinion, the Japanese troops stationed in Nanjing were also ordered by Matsui Ishine not to disturb these international security zones at will.
All you need to do is keep these security zones tightly under control. When this limelight passed, some Chinese people were relocated from other places one after another, and the original prosperous city of Nanjing was slowly restored.
Among the ruins that Song Yuping chose, many of them were crumbling and dangerous houses, and some hidden fortifications that had been blown down and cleaned up. I believe it is safe to hide in this kind of place for a day or two.
Unless these little devils are willing to dig into these dangerous buildings to search, or dig into those abandoned underground fortifications to find out. Otherwise, they won't be able to find out what they're hiding.
At these hidden spots, Song Yuping and others collected a week's worth of dry food and drinking water in advance. Even when they withdrew, Song Yuping immediately ordered to treat the previously wounded special combat personnel.
Although they are not professional ambulance crews, they are still more or less proficient in some simple battlefield first aid. If there is a drug as a guarantee, you will not be able to die if you suffer a small injury.
Compared with the injured special combat soldiers, what Song Yuping really felt distressed about was the eight special combat soldiers who died in battle. Among these eight people, two are veteran members of the first team, and the remaining six are members of the newly completed sixth phase.
Looking at these dead comrades-in-arms, the expressions of the other special combat team members all looked a little sad. But Song Yuping finally said: "Comrades, today's action can be said to have been a great success.
Killed a Japanese lieutenant general division commander, killed a Japanese major general brigade commander, and killed more than that. I believe that when these news comes out, the people should remember us and remember the eight comrades who died.
In general, there will be such casualties today, and it has something to do with my command mistakes, and I will personally send a telegram to the captain to ask for punishment. I also want to ask the captain how to arrange the aftermath of the sacrificed comrades in the future. ”
When the telegram was sent back to Yulin, He Zhengdao, who had also been waiting for news, naturally felt very relieved and excited to see the achievements of the special combat team in today's operation. But this casualty also made him feel distressed.
Eight special combat personnel were killed, and 13 special combat personnel were slightly injured. Such a loss may not seem like much, but for the Southern Saber Special Combat Team, which has only such a few members, it has lost nearly one-fifth of its combat effectiveness!
Thinking of this, He Zhengdao finally said: "Call back the Southern Sabre, the results of your battle have been received by the column." On behalf of the Independent Column and the Saber Special Operations Brigade, I am pleased that you have successfully completed the first phase of the mission.
For the team members who sacrificed this time, the principle choice was to bury them on the spot. If the body cannot be taken away, it is important to bury them in a safe place. Wait until the next time we have a chance to take Nanjing, and then move them to the martyrs' cemetery for burial.
At the same time, he told Song Yuping that Nanjing's retaliation could be temporarily over. Next, he went all out to kill the division commander of the Japanese Sixth Division, Tani Toshio, and at the same time found an opportunity to kill a lieutenant squadron leader named Tanaka Gunyoshi of the division.
At present, the Sixth Division is really attacking the defense area of the New Fourth Army in southern Anhui, and it must find an opportunity to kill two people on the front line. In the city of Nanjing, the 6th Division slaughtered more people than the 16th Division.
Secondly, find a way to sneak out of Nanjing City as soon as possible, Matsui Shigen is an old fox, don't underestimate his judgment and analysis ability. Find an opportunity tonight to find a safe passage out of the city, and make a noise in advance to attract the attention of the Japanese troops in the city. ”
After receiving the telegram from He Zhengdao, Song Yuping looked at the eight sacrificed comrades-in-arms, even if he was a little reluctant. But he also knew that leaving with their corpses would delay the retreat of the entire special operations detachment.
Find a safe and sheltered place and bury these brothers there. Each of us must remember that as long as one person is alive, we will have to find a way to move them back to the base area in the future and let their souls return to the cemetery. ’
'Yes, Captain! ’
Even if some special combat personnel were reluctant to bury these comrades-in-arms here, they also knew that forcibly taking these corpses on the road would only affect the entire special operations detachment that infiltrated the city. It would be a wise decision to bury them here.
Not long after, after Song Yuping's personal inspection, the materials and equipment carried by the eight sacrificed special combat team members were collected. After changing into a set of military uniforms of the Eighth Route Army, Song Yuping cleaned up their remains and finally buried them.
'Brothers! As long as one of us is alive, we will move you out as soon as possible, so that you can continue to fight with us in the future. Brothers, go all the way! ’
Considering that this is the city of Nanjing, this funeral that took place in the underground fortifications, not even a single gun can be fired, and everything is done in extreme secrecy. Even after the burial, the entrance to the fortification was filled in by everyone.
In the hope that after they leave, no one will disturb the eight special operators who were buried inside. At this moment, the originally bright city of Nanjing has entered a state of high alert.
Even the Chinese people who stayed in the safe zone could see from the eyes of those angry and panicked Japanese soldiers that the explosions and gunshots that sounded in the city during the day were afraid that someone wanted to trouble the little devils. Who could that be?
The reconnaissance team that was dispatched again checked according to the safe passage out of the city that had been found when they entered. This kind of inspection is more about wanting to know if these lines are still safe tonight.
The night is undoubtedly more convenient for the Sabre special operators than during the day. But in the same way, the Japanese troops guarding the city of Nanjing also seemed to know that tonight was afraid that it would be another sleepless night.
In order to ensure the security of the headquarters station, Matsui Ishine deliberately withdrew some defensive troops from the periphery. In his words, if someone hits the idea of his headquarters, these slightly loosened defensive circles can make the other side feel that there is an opportunity.
As long as the troops attacking the city of Nanjing during the day enter these traps, the troops lurking on the periphery will be able to surround this place and annihilate all the invading enemies who have entered the encirclement.
But what Matsui Ishine didn't know was that his platoon and traps fell into the sniper's sight. It was important to be aware of the situation, and the sniper observer quickly withdrew to the safety point and reported the situation.
Song Yuping, who learned of this situation, quickly thought of a plan that would make the little devil completely chaotic. Perhaps the successful implementation of this plan will make their operation out of Nanjing City safer! (To be continued.) )
