[Anti-Japanese Iron Blood King] Chapter 119: Partial Pass

Pingbai annihilated a cavalry division of the puppet army, and the whole department was naturally very happy, this was an unexpected harvest, in Ma Zheng's words, the rabbit caught the yellow sheep, an unexpected joy! More importantly, the annihilation of this puppet cavalry division provided a better cover for Ma Zheng's subordinates.

Due to the short time of the exchange of fire between the two sides in this battle, and the amazing performance of the snipers completely suppressed those puppet soldiers, the casualties on both sides were very limited. Although the puppet Mongol army was killed by three or four hundred people, more than half of them were Japanese advisers and puppet army officers, and not many soldiers were actually killed.

These captured puppet soldiers were immediately detained by Ma Zheng on the spot, and then Ma Zheng asked the officers and soldiers of the puppet Mongolian army who had been incorporated before to go to publicize the policy, and more than 2,000 puppet soldiers were willing to follow Ma Zheng to fight devils that night. The rest are hesitant for fear of affecting their tribes and families.

For those who were willing to follow him to fight devils, Ma Zheng naturally did not refuse to come, and immediately incorporated into the army, as for those who were still hesitating, Ma Zheng naturally would not kill them all, and directly imprisoned them. Anyway, there happens to be a prison in Qingshuihe County where prisoners and prisoners are held, and this time it happened to come in handy.

At seven o'clock in the morning of June 1, after leaving a company of troops to stay in Qingshui County, Ma Zheng led the remaining men and horses to officially advance to the northwest of Shanxi.

At noon, the troops crossed the Great Wall and officially set foot on the land in the northwest of Jin.

Before setting off from Qingshuihe County, Ma Zheng asked the telegraph operator to send a report to the devils stationed in the partial pass, saying that the reinforcements of the Fifth Cavalry Division of the puppet Mongolian army had passed through Qingshuihe County and were expected to arrive at the partial pass in a day, and told Miyamoto Shaosa, the captain of the first infantry brigade of the 12th Wing stationed in the partial pass, that this time it was Yamamoto Ura, the army commander, who led the team. said that this person was extremely short-tempered and very difficult to get along with, so let him receive him well.

After receiving a telegram from the defenders of Qingshuihe County, Miyamoto Shaozo immediately sent a report to the headquarters of the Mongolian army to confirm the matter, and after learning that there was indeed a cavalry division of the Imperial Allied Army going south to reinforce them, Miyamoto Shaozo was relieved.

In addition, after learning that the leader of the team this time was an army leader, Miyamoto Shaoza did not dare to slack off, and immediately sent troops to carry out a driving attack on the Eighth Route Army, Kuomintang troops and even bandits in the jurisdiction, so as to prevent these dog-skin plaster Dizhi troops from ramming His Excellency Dazuo in a short time. You must know that the rank in the Japanese Army is abnormally strict, and if the army chief is angry, he can directly chop a junior officer alive, even if he doesn't use a knife, it is normal to receive a few slaps.

In this operation of the Japanese army, the Eighth Route Army did not suffer any losses, mainly because the main force of the 120th Division all went south and prepared to meet Fu Zuoyi's headquarters. Those bandits don't have any losses, after all, the bandits also have self-knowledge, they can't afford to provoke the little devils, annoying these living Hades, and put the mortar at the door of the cottage, and a few shots will not blow up their lair.

But someone was unlucky, and was caught off guard by Miyamoto Shaosa, this unit was none other than a cavalry regiment of the Second Army of the Cavalry of the original defenders.

This cavalry regiment was originally going to withdraw with the large army, but it was left behind by He Guozhu to block the Japanese army, and was intercepted by the Japanese near the side pass. Fortunately, they have been stationed in the area of the border for many years, and they are familiar with the terrain here, plus they are all cavalry and have good mobility, so they escaped after paying a certain price and were not completely annihilated.

Although they escaped by luck, their small army of less than 1,000 people became a lone army and lost contact with the large army.

However, in the past few days, they saw that most of the Japanese troops were nested in the city and did not come out to act, so they came up with the idea of going south to find a large army. It was so coincidental that they were just about to make an action when they met Miyamoto Shaozo, who came out to clear the road. As a result, he was caught off guard and suffered heavy losses. More than 1,000 people were killed after the war, but more than 400 people were captured, and only a small number of them broke through.

Ma Zheng didn't know that Miyamoto Shaozo was so enthusiastic to welcome him, but he knew that the Japanese army in the border had been frequently dispatched in the past two days, looking for trouble with other armed forces in the jurisdiction, and Ma Zheng knew from the "captured" cavalry of the Second Army.

Seeing these regular Kuomintang soldiers drooping their heads one by one and showing no fighting spirit, Ma Zheng was angry in his heart. What annoyed Ma Zheng the most was that the battalion commander of the Second Cavalry Army saw that Ma Zheng was wearing a Dazuo military uniform, and he was leading seven or eight thousand "devils" behind him, and he actually surrendered with dozens of cavalry.

Ma Zheng, who was furious, immediately ordered the troops, disarmed these bastards, shot all the officers, and came directly with the "captives".

At about 10 o'clock in the morning of June 2, Ma Zheng's troops escorted dozens of "prisoners" to the east gate of the border, and Miyamoto Shaozo took all the officers of his department to meet him outside the east gate.

Seeing Ma Zheng, who was wearing a brand-new military uniform and riding a tall horse, and thousands of cavalry behind him, Miyamoto Shaozo did not dare to slack off, and immediately trotted over and said: "Captain Miyamoto Ryo of the 12th Wing of the Imperial Japanese Army welcomes the arrival of His Excellency Dazuo, you have worked hard. ”

Ma Zheng pretended to be very satisfied and said: "Yo Xi, Miyamoto-kun, please don't say that, everything is for the sake of the Great Japanese Empire, everything is for His Majesty the Emperor." Let's go to the city and talk about it, and by the way, we will deal with these Chinese captives. ”

Miyamoto Shaoza looked at the Kuomintang prisoners who were escorted by thousands of cavalry, and said complimentingly: "Your Excellency Dazuo is worthy of being the elder of the Imperial Army, and he can even capture the soldiers of Shina on the march, Miyamoto admires." ”

"Miyamoto-kun said with a smile, are there still soldiers in China? It seems to me that there are only farmers with weapons in China, and there is no regular army worthy of our help, Miyamoto-kun, what do you think? Ma Zheng said proudly.

Miyamoto Mineyama Shaozo praised: "Your Excellency Osa is greatly encouraged by Miyamoto, the combat effectiveness of the Shina army is too weak, just yesterday the post department with a reinforced squadron of infantry frontal defeated a consolidated cavalry regiment of the Shina government army, capturing hundreds of people, the combat effectiveness of the Shina people is really not flattering. ”

Ma Zheng squinted his eyes and said: "Saga, Miyamoto-kun is really a rare elite of the empire, I will report to the corps headquarters to ask for credit for you, I believe it won't be long before I should call you Miyamoto Nakasa." ”

Miyamoto Shaozo was immediately overjoyed, and said excitedly: "Thank you for your cultivation, and I will definitely live up to Your Excellency's expectations." ”

Ma Zheng said as he walked: "Miyamoto-kun, gather your troops, I want to go and see the warriors of the 26th Division, I don't know if it's okay?" ”

"Yes, yes"

He immediately turned to the captain beside him and said, "Sasaki, you gather the troops immediately, and His Excellency Osa and I are waiting for you in the barracks." ”

The Japanese army had just occupied the pass, so they had not yet built a formal barracks and training ground, but temporarily used the station of the former Second Cavalry Army as a barracks, and the military horse farm outside the west gate as a soldier training ground temporarily.

Miyamoto Shaosa and other Japanese officers led the way, and Ma Zheng followed closely with a large group of cavalry, and went straight to the temporary training ground of the Japanese army.

Soon Captain Miyamoto gathered his troops and strode to the training ground. Seeing this group of Japanese devils swaggering in front of him, Ma Zheng quietly gave the special combat team and the cavalry brigade a warrant to prepare for battle, and at the same time drove his horse to the Japanese infantry phalanx and pretended to inspect the troops.

Miyamoto Shaozo saluted Ma Zheng with a standard Japanese military salute and said loudly: "Report to Your Excellency Dazuo, the 1st Brigade of the 12th Wing of the 26th Division of the Mongolian Corps has been assembled, and please review it." ”
