June 6, the 28th year of the Republic of China (1939), 9 o'clock in the morning.

When the air units stationed at the airports in Beiping, Tianjin, Baoding, and Jinan flew over Shimen, the defense line of the army outside Shimen had been completely destroyed, and the 39 th Group Army had already advanced the battle line to the urban area.

At noon, the airport in the western suburbs of Shimen was the first to fall.

At 4 o'clock in the afternoon, the 3rd Battalion of the 4th Regiment of the New 9th Division captured the Zhengding Railway Station.

At 5 o'clock in the afternoon, the 1st Battalion of the 2nd Regiment of the Baoshan Division captured the military police headquarters of the military police stationed in Shimen.

At 6 o'clock in the afternoon, the 2nd Battalion of the 1st Regiment of the New 6th Division surrounded the headquarters of the 28th Division of the Japanese Army.

………… The headquarters of the 28th Division of the Army.

Lieutenant General Ishiguro Sadazo stood by the telegraph with a gloomy expression, just now, he had dictated a farewell message to the commander-in-chief of the North China Front, General Okamura Ninji, since the day he joined the army, Ishiguro Sadazo has been determined to sacrifice his life for the empire, and he is ready to break jade for His Majesty the Emperor at any time, but Ishiguro Sadazo did not expect that this day would come so quickly!

Suddenly, a dense burst of gunfire rang out outside the headquarters, it was the sound of a Czech light machine gun!

Obviously, the squadron has broken through the perimeter fortifications and rushed into the headquarters, and the strength of the remaining headquarters is only one infantry squadron, and it is impossible to hold out for too long under the onslaught of the squadron, it is time to say goodbye to this world, Ishiguro Sadazo gritted his teeth and unbuttoned his military uniform with trembling hands.

Sato Daisaga looked at Ishiguro Sadazo coldly, the corners of his mouth had a trace of disdain, a real samurai, dare to face life and death, but at the moment of death, the commander of Ishiguro Sadazo seemed to retreat, as the chief of staff of the 28th Division, Sato Osaku has the responsibility and obligation to escort His Excellency the division commander on the road!

Ishiguro knelt down towards the east, drew his saber and wiped it with a white cloth.

The gunfire outside the headquarters was already extremely close, but Ishiguro Sadazo still couldn't make up his mind, and Sato Osa couldn't help but urge: "Your Excellency the division commander, you should be on the road." ”

Ishiguro gritted his teeth, clenched the blade, and finally aimed the sharp tip of the knife at his abdomen.

Suddenly, his wife's beautiful Rong Yan and his son's stubborn little face suddenly floated in front of Ishiguro Sadazo's eyes, thinking that this knife would go down, and from now on he would leave this prosperous world forever, Ishiguro Sadazo suddenly felt boundless fear, he flinched, and a cold sweat from his forehead broke out in an instant.

"Ishiguro-kun!" Sato Osa urged again, "Don't forget your identity as a samurai!" ”

Ishiguro Sadazo suddenly shivered violently, gritted his teeth and finally cut into his abdomen, the tip of the knife only cut into the abdomen less than two inches, Ishiguro Sadazo felt a heart-piercing pain, and then he was no longer able to cut down, Sato, who was guarding next to him, finally got impatient, kicked out, and the sharp saber finally pierced Ishiguro Sadazo's abdominal cavity.

Then it was Sato Daisa's turn, this little devil was much more ruthless, he cut into his abdomen with a knife, and then cut a standard cross in his abdomen with a sharp blade, and then slowly knelt down facing the east, when the door of the headquarters was kicked open, Sato Kankan swallowed his last breath.................. Eastern suburbs of Beiping, Cuimingzhuang.

Lieutenant General Tanabe Moritake walked slowly into the office and said to Okamura Ninji with a gloomy expression: "Your Excellency Commander, Shimen has been lost, and the 112th Infantry Wing and the 28th Division Headquarters stationed in Shimen have about 6,000 people, and they have collectively broken jade, this is a farewell message from Ishiguro Sadazo, please take a look." ”

Okamura Ninji did not reach out to answer the telegram, but suddenly pulled out the saber, and immediately slashed viciously at the desk in front of him, only to hear a sound, the sharp saber was immediately wedged deep into the mahogany desk, due to the excessive force of this chop, Okamura Ninji's hands were shattered.

"Medic ......" Tanabe Moritake turned his head and shouted, "Medic officer! ”

"Tanabe-kun, I'm fine!" Okamura Ninji waved his hand, the anger in his chest had been completely poured out with the slash just now, and at this time, Okamura Ninji had completely regained his previous calm, and then said, "Order the 5th and 10th Divisions to advance towards Shimen as originally planned, and the 18th and 20th Divisions, the 5th Field Heavy Artillery Brigade and the Aviation Regiment to cancel combat readiness." ”

"Hello." Tanabe Moritake bowed his head suddenly, and immediately took the order, he did not even question Okamura Ninji's order.

Suddenly, a faint smile appeared on the corner of Okamura Ningji's mouth: "It's worthy of Yue Weihan, this time you won, but next time, I will definitely not give you such a chance again!" ”

………… As the sun set, Yue Weihan walked into the western district of Shimen surrounded by a large group of senior generals.

The smoke of gunpowder in the streets has not yet dissipated, there are broken walls everywhere, collapsed barricades everywhere, charred barricades everywhere, corpses everywhere, some are in the army, some are puppet soldiers, and some are [***], and teams of [***] soldiers with loaded guns are cleaning the battlefield in a tense and orderly manner.

Not far away, several citizens were standing on the corner of the street, staring at Yue Weihan and the others with indifferent expressions.

"Get out, you evil spirits!" A citizen suddenly picked up a brick and threw it at Yue Weihan.

The hot-tempered Chi Chengfeng immediately pulled out the clean face box and turned on the nose of the machine, and immediately raised his gun to aim at the citizen, but Ma Zhankui, who was in charge of security work, did not react, in fact, just now, Ma Zhankui's plainclothes had already reported to him, these citizens were not pseudo-spies, and they had no weapons on them, and they did not attack their surnames.

"Lao Chi, don't shoot!" Yue Weihan hurriedly stretched out his hand to stop it.

Chi Chengfeng put down the shell gun and looked at each other angrily: "His grandmother's, why don't you rely on it?" ”

"How can we not be separated?" The citizen said excitedly, "Hello, after beating myself, pat my ass and leave, but where are we going to have a home?" He said that he came, and it was not us who suffered? The last time I killed so many people, didn't you all provoke you? ”

"Yes." Another citizen said, "A few years ago, we returned to Shimen under the control of the national government, and the villagers were not full of food and clothing, but now they are under my control, but the villagers have food and clothing, and they are also hopeful, but why can't you let us live in peace for a few days?" Why do you have to fight, is it interesting? ”

"Hey, you guys who don't know what to do, I'm ......," Chi Chengfeng said and raised his gun again.

Yue Weihan pressed Chi Chengfeng's hands, and then came out of the crowd and said: "Fellow villagers, don't be confused by my 'Huairou' policy, don't forget that we are Chinese, and what flows in our veins is the blood of the descendants of Yan and Huang, and they say that they are wolf ambitions, and their purpose is to destroy the Chinese nation and enslave us......

"We don't care what bloodline we have, and we don't want national righteousness, we just want to live in peace in a few days." An older citizen knelt down and kowtowed to Yue Weihan and said, "This boss, the old man begs you, hurry up and take your troops away, don't fight anymore, do you miss it?" ”

Yue Weihan was speechless, but his heart began to drip blood!

Okamura Ninji's "Huairou" policy is finally beginning to show its power!

Yue Weihan really wanted to tell these citizens that his "preferential treatment" to them was only temporary, and that once China's resistance was wiped out, and once the army completed its occupation of all of China, he would immediately be exposed in his true form, and he would impose brutal colonial rule on the Chinese nation, and the Republic of China would repeat the tragedy of the Ming Dynasty!

However, these great truths are so pale when they are spoken, how can these ordinary people understand them?

These flat-headed people, they only know that when the national axe ruled, they had no food or clothing, but after they came, they had food and clothing, and they said that they were not as vicious as before, and they were not as bad as they used to be, and they were not bad when they saw the eldest girls and little daughters-in-law, and they also ran many small schools, and the children of poor families could go to school and read and write without spending money.

"Folks, you can't say that, we [***] ......" Liu Yi also wanted to continue to explain.

But before he finished speaking, several young citizens picked up the bricks and smashed them over, Liu Yi had to retreat in embarrassment, but there was still a brick on the brain, and the blood flowed immediately, Chi Chengfeng was really angry at this time, but he didn't dare to kill, so he had to snatch the Czech style from the hands of the senior soldiers next to him, and shot a long shot in front of the group of citizens.

Seeing that Chi Chengfeng really shot, the group of citizens immediately turned around and fled.

Seeing the figure of the group of citizens disappear, Yue Weihan couldn't help but let out a long sigh.

Ma Zhankui thought about it, and still stepped forward to persuade: "Boss, you don't have to worry too much, just now my people saw those people collecting the corpses of the puppet army on the street, I estimated that they were the families of the puppet army, their relatives were killed by us, and it is normal to have resentment in their hearts, they are like this, it does not mean that all Shimen citizens are like this." ”

"Zhan Kui, don't comfort me." Yue Weihan sighed, "I understand. ”

Yue Weihan knew very well that Ma Zhankui was just comforting him, if the citizens of Shimen City still supported [***] as before, then the streets would not be so deserted at this moment, I remember that when the Baoshan Brigade recovered Shimen for the first time, the people of Shimen City were as happy as a festival, and they didn't know how many hangings were put on the Baizi Cannon!

Now, however, the streets are deserted, with the occasional few people walking by, also full of hostility towards [***].

"Order the troops, step up the cleaning of the battlefield, transport all the captured materials, as well as the rails and sleepers of the Pinghan Railway, don't leave a single one, and organize the transport team to transport all the troops back to the base area!" After saying this, Yue Weihan let out a long sigh and said to Liu Yi, "Chief of Staff, although we won the tactical victory this time, we lost the battle at the strategic level. ”
