[Anti-Japanese Iron Blood King] Chapter 201: The situation has changed (ask for subscription)

As the supreme commander of the Western Route Army in the Suicha base area, Naito did not approve of Lieutenant General Harem Jun's use of more than 35,000 elite troops to encircle and suppress the garrison of the Seventh Division. It's not that Naito looked down on the combat effectiveness of the Eighth Route Army, maybe he had such thoughts before, but since Takamori Koichi's 1st Cavalry Brigade defeated the Akirinhe, Naito has put away his contempt.

But now, according to the accurate information obtained by the intelligence department, Ma Zheng led the main force of the Duqi Division south to Wuhan, and severely damaged the Central China Front Army on the battlefield in Wuhan.

As Ma Desheng expected, Naito did not gather all the cavalry to act, but divided into three parts. After all, this is a defense zone in the Second World War Zone, and it may be bombed by the Chinese Air Force at any time, although the probability is very low, but it is better not to act together for the sake of insurance.

At the forefront were the 1st and 2nd Divisions of the Cavalry of the Puppet Mongol Army, totaling more than 5,000 people, commanded by Shichiro Nakazawa, the adviser to the 1st Division. In the middle is the headquarters of the cavalry group and the main force of the Fourth Brigade, totaling more than 4,000 people. Finally, there was the 3rd Cavalry Division of the Puppet Mongol Army and all the baggage troops, totaling more than 3,800 people, under the command of Noda Shizuji Daisa.

In the eyes of all the commanders of the Japanese puppet army, including Naito, this operation must have been extremely smooth, and the front army also put on a posture of a lion fighting a rabbit when the Duqi Division was moving south, and the people of China could not be defeated.

Because of this, they were not in a hurry to rush to Zhuozi Mountain, and as soon as the troops left the territory of Guisui, they began to burn and loot the village market to which Zhuozi Mountain belonged, and all the villages in the place they passed were burned, and everyone except women was killed. Even the children were not spared, and even the red-eyed Japanese soldiers were killed, and even the local maintenance president's family was not spared, and they were all killed and burned.

In this way, it burned and looted all the way, and its forward did not arrive at Sandao Camp until after four o'clock in the afternoon. At this time, the Japanese puppet army had already robbed a lot of money, almost all of them had the looted property in their hands, and behind the troops were a large number of looted cattle, sheep and pigs and young women with ropes tied to their arms.

Sandaoying is a village. At the same time, it is also the seat of governance of Sandaoying Township, the village is not small, with more than 300 households and more than 1,000 people. But now there are no ordinary people in the village, and they have been moved to a mountain forest at the north end of the village.

There are two low hills to the west of Sandaoying Village, and a road more than ten meters wide passes through the middle of the two hills, and then there is a small basin, and Sandaoying is built on the edge of the small basin. According to the pre-specified battle plan, as soon as the enemy crossed the mountain pass and entered the basin, Ma Desheng's cavalry group would rush out of the village. Fight the Japanese army in this small basin.

But what Ma Desheng didn't expect was that there was no movement in the mountain pass until five o'clock in the afternoon, and it stands to reason that the speed of the cavalry from the battalion here would have arrived a long time ago, did the Japanese puppet army know that they were going to do them here?

Shouldn't it, is the Japanese puppet army so shrewd?

Just when Ma Desheng was anxious, Xu Dongliang, the deputy head of the first cavalry regiment, ran over on a horse and said, "Commander, the situation has changed!" ”

"What's the matter, is the enemy not coming?" Ma Desheng immediately asked.

"It's not. The enemy has come, but they have engulfed many civilians. And there are a lot of cattle, sheep, pigs and dogs, which seem to be robbed! Xu Dongliang replied immediately.

"Ordinary people? How many people are there? ”

"There are quite a few, there is a whole string of ropes, at least there are four or five hundred people, and they are all young women."

"How many enemies are there, and where are they now?" Ma Desheng asked with a frown.

"The enemy probably has two divisions. There were about 5,000 people, mainly puppet soldiers, and only a few wore Japanese military uniforms. Now the forward team is still three kilometers away from the mountain pass and is expected to arrive in fifteen minutes," Xu Dongliang replied.

"It's all puppet army, it's easy to do!" After speaking, Ma Desheng said in a deep voice: "If you go down, you will say that the situation has changed." Wait a minute, you have to completely defeat this Japanese puppet army before you can leave! ”

"Commander, can we still do the task of luring the enemy?" Xu Dongliang immediately asked.

"Yes, of course it will be done!"

"But what are we going to do if we wipe out everyone?" Xu Dongliang asked again.

"Isn't there still a devil in the back, let's kill the puppet army that started first, rescue those ordinary people first, and wait for us to transfer the people away, and the follow-up troops of the little devils are almost there, it's a big deal for us to wait for them." Ma Desheng said.

Xu Dongliang wanted to ask something, but at this time Ma Desheng stopped him and said, "I don't have time to say, let's carry out the order!" ”

"Yes!"

On the other side of the pass, Shichiro Nakazawa rode proudly on a tall horse, holding a jar of stolen liquor in his hand, and drank heartily.

A native of Aichi Prefecture, Japan, Shichiro Nakazawa graduated from the 16th Cavalry Department of the Army University, and was subsequently awarded the rank of second lieutenant in cavalry, and in 31 he was promoted to the rank of cavalry major and transferred to Northeast China. In 36, he was promoted to cavalry commander and was sent to Xilinhot to assist Li Shouxin in training his Mongol army as an advisor to the regimental commander.

Yesterday, after the operational meeting, His Excellency Naito talked to him alone and said that the Front Army was preparing to rebuild the First Cavalry Brigade, and His Excellency Naito was very optimistic about him and was ready to appoint him as the brigade commander of the First Cavalry Brigade and ask for his opinion.

Nakazawa Shichiro will naturally not refuse such a good thing, and as long as he takes the position of brigade commander, the military rank will naturally be promoted soon, so that the addition of an official to the knighthood is already a certainty, how can he not be happy.

Because of this, as soon as he came out of Guisui today, Nakazawa Shichiro gave the order to clear the countryside, so that his soldiers could share their joy together. Along the way, they had a lot of success, destroying at least thirty villages in China, but the only pity was that at least an equal number of people in China villages had fled before the arrival of the Imperial Army, otherwise the results would have been even richer.

"Huang Sang, where is the work in front?" After taking a sip of wine, Shichiro Nakazawa said to Huang Fuqiang, commander of the First Cavalry Division of the puppet Mongolian Army.

"Taijun, in front of you is the work of Sandaoying Township, which is a large village with a population of more than 1,000." Huang Fuqiang said flatteringly.

"A great village of a thousand people, Yo Xi! Hurry up, don't let the eight roads of China escape! Shichiro Nakazawa said loudly.

Shichiro Nakazawa has been in China for nearly 7 years, so he can be said to be half-China, and he knows very well that the villages in northern China are fundamentally different from the man's villages. In particular, the Suicha area is vast and sparsely populated, and most of the villages here have only 30 or 50 households, and the larger ones are only more than 100 households, and the population is mostly less than 300 people, and large villages with 1,000 people are rare.

Such a large village not only means a large population, but also means that such a village must be a relatively wealthy center nearby, and there must be many wealthy families here, and the ransacking of such a village may be comparable to the ransacking of a dozen ordinary villages.

"Taijun has spoken, hurry up and hurry, everyone can let go of their hands when they arrive at the Sandao Camp!" Huang Fuqiang roared.

"Yes!" There was a sparse echo from behind.

Since they did not encounter the slightest obstruction and harassment along the way, neither Shichiro Nakazawa nor Huang Fuqiang expected that the Eighth Route Army would stop them in this place where birds don't, so they did not send a sharp army to investigate, so as not to disturb the people of the nearby villages.

And when crossing the mountain pass, the Japanese puppet army did not stop at all, after all, the so-called mountain pass is actually two small mountain bags, and there are not many people hidden in the very small ones, and no one will ambush them in this place at all.

Sure enough, the troops were not ambushed after entering the pass, and there was no movement until the large force was about to cross the pass.

Nakazawa Shichiro on the war horse had already seen the Sandaoying Village not far away, especially when he saw that there was still cooking smoke rising in the village, he suddenly became excited, took out the adjutant knife he carried with him, pointed at the village and shouted: "Kill the enemy and give it!"
