Chapter 247: Are there any pure soldiers?
"Knock knock......
Two dull gunshots rang out in the house, and the Japanese soldiers in the room fell down before they could react "When Remington's gunshots rang out, they still rushed in, and the sommy in their hands swept away, and when the gunfire stopped, there was no Japanese soldier in the room who could stand."
"Wu Chengfeng, you xiaozi went over to see if these were dead, you have to be careful. Don't hurt the devil who pretends to be dead! "Hey, hey, camp" and look at it! Xiao devil, we still don't know? It's nothing more than playing the same set. ”
A soldier with the rank of private walked over with a bayonet Garand rifle and examined the corpses of Japanese soldiers one by one. When he walked to the side, he didn't care how to stab him first, and it didn't take long for the soldier named Wu Chengfeng to complete the search of the house.
"The camp has now been searched, and there is no one in the house. The existing devils are all here. Inside, I also found traces of being turned over, and it is estimated that these devils have come to rob the property. ”
"The ancestral nose of his Xiao devil came here to rob him." Ren Ran's face is very bad, and Yin is about to thunder.
There must be devils in front of the "walk", and it is impossible for them to dare to come here with only a dozen people and swagger deep into this area to commit murder and robbery. After Ren Ran finished speaking, he picked up Suomi and walked out first.
At this time, there was a sound of killing in the city of Beiping, and hundreds of thousands of troops from China and Japan fought desperately here, and both sides suffered heavy casualties. At first, the Chahar army was on the defensive, but the next day, with the arrival of the 12th Division, the Japanese were surprised to find that the Chahar army had begun to counterattack.
With the arrival of the 12th Division and two garrison brigades, the ratio of the strength of the Chinese and Japanese sides was 50,000 to 60,000, and the Japanese had a slight upper hand.
"Kimura-kun", the headquarters of the North China Garrison Army, do you think our army can successfully occupy Beiping? Looking at the drizzle outside the window, Tada's mood was as sad as this drizzle.
Lieutenant General Kimura Hyotaro understood Tada's mood at this time, "Since Chahar's army marched into Beiping and fought fiercely with the Imperial Army", there was little good news. This morning, Okamura reported that his 2nd Division had now suffered more than 4,000 casualties, and that the 21st Division was even more miserable: "Three Wing Commanders were disemboweled, and one was killed. At present, the division commander Jiro Kameda personally went into battle shirtless, and organized the remaining 7,000 people of the 21st Division into two parts: "I personally commanded one part and fought with the Chahar army."
"Tada-kun", please rest assured, we will definitely achieve the final victory. ", Lieutenant General Hyotaro Kimura comforted softly.
"Kikimura-kun, you know what? I've always wondered where this Chahar army and this Su Tong came from. According to the investigation of the Imperial Intelligence Agency, he claimed to be from Guangxi, but the agents of the Empire had gone to his hometown to investigate, and there was no one who knew him at all, and he seemed to have fallen from the sky. ”
Tada's voice seemed to come from the sky, and it was very erratic.
"A few days ago, Kenji Tendo came to see me," he told me, "in order to investigate the origin of this Su Tong", he specially sent more than 20 agents to his hometown in disguise, who knew that he was arrested by the local armor guards. The reason for this was that the agents couldn't speak their dialect and were recognized by the locals. Speaking of this, Tada Jun couldn't help but grit his teeth a little.
"The branch is too big" dialect is five huā eight men, no matter how great the ability of the imperial agents is, how can they learn all those hundreds of dialects? ”
Lieutenant General Hyotaro Kimura knew that Tada needed an audience at this moment, so he just listened quietly.
"The Gui department of that place has been mountainous since ancient times, and the terrain is dangerous" The people are strong, and most of the residents there live in the middle of the mountain. Their mountain people will carry a waist knife in their waists on weekdays, whether they are going up the mountain to herd cattle or rushing to the market. On weekdays, it is common for people to fight for water or to get into a fight, "I can't imagine how fierce and aggressive people from this kind of place can be. You can tell about his love from the style of the Chahar army. ”
Kimura Hyotaro finally couldn't help but say: "Tada-kun" You can't help but worry too much, the warriors of our empire are powerful, they have the leadership of the bushido god and His Majesty the Emperor, we will definitely be able to occupy China and trample them all under our feet. ”
As if to cheer up Tada, Hyotaro Kimura's voice was loud and firm.
Tada Jun smiled lightly: "Okay" Kimura-kun, you don't have to comfort me, "I know what I'm doing, and I haven't forgotten my duty, this war has just begun, it's too early to say who wins and who loses, isn't it?" ”
"Duo Wujun, now Beiping has become like this, but the reinforcements from China have not yet arrived. Shall we send another telegram to the base camp urging them? Hyotaro Kimura asked tentatively.
Tada Jun shook his head: "No, Kimura-kun, don't forget, the wind direction in the big * camp is not very good now." ”
Although Tada Jun said it very obscurely, Hyotaro Kimura still heard it. Umezu Mijiro is now trusted by Prince Zaihito of the Kanin Palace in the base camp, and he has been appointed as the vice minister of the army, but he is a red and purple character.
But Umezu Mijiro has no good impression of Tada Jun, the successor of the leader of the North China garrison, "Umezu Mijiro has always thought that the last time he left China in disgrace, it was because Tada Jun's behind-the-scenes hand was pushing behind, otherwise even if he was wrong last time, he would not have been transferred to the reserve." If it weren't for the help of Prince Zaihito of the Idle Palace, he would have been transferred to Hokkaido for fishing.
If Tada Jun sends a telegram urging the base camp to send reinforcements now, I'm afraid it will be used by people with good intentions to make a fuss.
Thinking of this, Kimura Hyotaro sighed secretly, it was all for the great cause of the empire, why should he be so nervous? In the past, everyone ridiculed the people of China for only engaging in infighting, but here in the empire, why is this not the case, it seems that the people of China have a saying that is still very right, where there are people, there is a struggle.
"Report!" At this moment, a young staff officer walked in.
"General Okamura came to report that the Chahar army was attacking fiercely" The Imperial army suffered heavy losses" General Okamura asked for reinforcements. ”
"Another request for reinforcements! Okamura Ninji has an army of 60,000 people, "if you can't destroy the army of Chahar, it's just that", can you only ask for reinforcements if you suffer a little setback? Tada's emotions that had been holding back for a few days finally exploded, and he threw the teacup in his hand to the ground.
"You go and tell Okamura that there are no reinforcements, and if Okamura Ninji feels that he is not up to his duty, I will personally go to the front line to take over his command of the battle!" "Hey! ”
The staff officer bowed and was about to leave, but was stopped by Hyotaro Kimura.
Lieutenant General Kimura Hyotaro said to the staff officer gently: "Please tell Okamura-kun, we have all seen his hard work, but at present, our army is limited, and I hope he can overcome it by himself before the arrival of reinforcements from the mainland." ”
"Hey!" The staff officer turned and walked out.
In a courtyard house on the outskirts of Beiping, "Uji Okamura is on a mission with several co-captains.
"Your Excellency Okamura, the headquarters has called back!"
Okamura Ninji took the message, read it slowly, and sighed slowly as he looked at the rain falling from the window. The emaciated face was full of disappointment.
"Your Excellency the Division Commander" Command still does not agree to give us additional troops? Major General Taro Hashimoto, Chief of Staff of the Second Division, saw Okamura Ninji's face, and although he had already guessed the result, he couldn't help but ask.
"Commander Tada still said that there are no reinforcements, and we have to solve it ourselves before the reinforcements from the mainland arrive." Okamura Ninji's voice was tinged with disappointment.
"Hmph, it will be at least half a month before the local reinforcements arrive, and this battle will be over by then, even if the reinforcements arrive, what's the use?"
There was a lot of resentment in Hashimoto's voice.
"Now that the Chinese and we are attacking each other so fiercely, our troops have suffered too great losses" If this continues, the second division will be crippled! What the hell is Commander Tada thinking! "Personally, I don't blame Commander Tada, but in the interests of the empire, Commander Tada is a little selfish. Okamura Ninji's words made Taro Hashimoto a little puzzled.
"You and I both know," it stands to reason that Commander Tada still has reinforcements in his hands, "that is, the 16th Division in Tianjin." Although they were far away in Tianjin, if they wanted to come to reinforce us, they could reach it in a day's work, but why didn't Commander Tada send them? ”
"yes, why?" Major General Taro Hashimoto was also puzzled, he just couldn't understand, "Why does Tada Jun still have a division in his hands, why doesn't he use it?"
"Because Commander Tada was afraid, he was also afraid that after throwing the 16th Division, the only reserve, into the battlefield of Beiping, he would still get nothing, but he would also lose Tianjin. Therefore, he would rather hold the 16th Division in his hands than send it out, if he can't defeat Beiping, maybe he will only be instructed by the base camp "but if even Tianjin is lost", then his only fate is to receive a ticket from the base camp to return to China like his predecessor His Excellency Umezu, but he may not have the same luck as His Excellency Umezu. ”
Listening to Okamura Ninji's faint voice, Chief of Staff Taro Hashimoto only felt a chill in his vest. For the sake of his own future, Tada Jun actually disregarded the lives of 60,000 imperial warriors? This is too cold-blooded!
"Hashimoto-kun" You have to remember that you should never look at a commander in a high position from a purely military perspective, and this is no longer the era of His Excellency Heihachiro Togo! ”
After Okamura Ninji finished speaking, he patted the shoulder of Major General Taro Hashimoto, who was stunned, and walked out of the room calmly.
