Hefei, known as the headquarters of the Central China Front.

As soon as General Shunliu Hata was about to go back to his room to sleep, Lieutenant General Okabe, the chief of staff, walked in with a stern expression, and immediately suddenly retracted his feet and said uprightly: "Your Excellency, the Sixth Heavy Artillery Brigade of the Field was attacked by the [***] team at a small station thirty miles south of Xuzhou, Major General Miyamoto was shattered on the spot, all the large-caliber heavy artillery was lost, and the personnel and materials were also lost!" ”

"What?" Huo Ran, the sixth general of Shun Hata, stood up and said in disbelief, "The Sixth Heavy Artillery Brigade of the Field!?" ”

"Hello." Lieutenant General Okabe bowed his head abruptly and said, "This matter is indeed unbelievable, but it is true. ”

"Yaga." The six generals of the six generals of Hata Jun had blue tendons on their foreheads, and they suddenly jumped like thunder, "Haven't the aviation troops and the special high school department repeatedly confirmed that there is no longer any formed middle [***] team within three hundred miles of Xuzhou?" So where did this squadron [***] of the sneak attack on the 6th Field Heavy Artillery Brigade come from, huh? ”

General Shun Hata couldn't help but be angry, or rather, he couldn't help but be nervous.

The 6th Field Heavy Artillery Brigade is not an ordinary unit, it is almost a strategic-level unit!

The reason why the Sixth Field Heavy Artillery Brigade can be called a strategic force is because the more than 100 large-caliber field heavy artillery pieces equipped by the brigade are almost no Chinese fortifications that cannot be destroyed under the front of these more than 100 large-caliber heavy artillery.

However, now, Xuzhou has not yet been taken, the Longhai Line and the Jinpu Railway have not yet been opened, and the Battle of Wuhan has not even really begun, but more than 100 field heavy artillery pieces of the Sixth Field Heavy Artillery Brigade have been destroyed overnight, which is an unprecedented heavy blow to the Central China Front Army or the entire Imperial Army!

You must know that the entire army that invaded China has only been equipped with a total of six heavy artillery brigades, and it is not that the base camp of the army does not want to equip the army that invaded China with more heavy artillery brigades, but they cannot afford to equip them, because they lack both resources and financial resources, and six heavy artillery brigades are already their limit!

And the Central China Front was allocated only two heavy artillery brigades.

Now, one guy has lost a heavy artillery brigade, and it is no wonder that General Shunroku Hata is in a hurry to find a scapegoat, because he knows very well in his heart that the destruction of the sixth heavy artillery brigade in the field is definitely a big event, and the base camp of the army and Prince Zaihito will definitely be held responsible, and His Majesty the Emperor will personally intervene.

To put it bluntly, the 6th Field Heavy Artillery Brigade was destroyed, and its serious surname was almost no less than that of a permanent division regiment being completely annihilated!

This is a huge blow to the morale of the imperial army, and conversely, for the Chinese [***] team, it is a huge encouragement, it can be imagined that in a few days, the front pages of the major Chinese newspapers will inevitably hype up and report this incident again, and the Western media will inevitably have to sneer at the Yue army again.

If General Shun Hata does not preemptively shift the responsibility to Major General Naoka Tadaji, commander of the Air Corps, or the head of the Special High Division, then he himself will have to take responsibility for this and will have to "return to China to report on his work."

Lieutenant General Okabe was able to understand the mood of General Shunroku Hata, but he still said earnestly: "Your Excellency, it is not yet time to hold accountable, and the top priority is to urgently telegraph the Fifth Heavy Artillery Brigade of the Field Army, which is advancing westward along the Longhai Line, to remind Kobayashi-kun to be vigilant and not to repeat the mistakes of the Sixth Heavy Artillery Brigade of the Field Army." ”

"Yo Si." The sixth general of Shun Hata nodded in horror and said, "Okabe-kun is reasonable, so I will do as you say." ”

………… Huangzangyu, Ruiyun Temple.

Liu Tiezhu, the captain of the special operations team, entered the wing room out of breath, and suddenly stood up and said, "Brigade seat." ”

Yue Weihan, who was closing his eyes on the futon, suddenly stood up and said eagerly: "Have you escaped from the death camp?" ”

Although reason told Yue Weihan that the death camp would definitely be dead or alive, he still had some illusions in his heart, fantasizing that a miracle could happen, in the final analysis, Yue Weihan's main concern was never military merit, but the safety of the officers and soldiers, so the first sentence he blurted out was not whether the death battalion had completed its task, but whether the death battalion had escaped.

Liu Tiezhu's expression suddenly darkened, and he choked up: "Get out, but it's ...... There were only six brothers left. ”

"Six!?" Yue Weihan's expression was immediately miserable when he heard this, and he immediately raised his head suddenly, and Chu Zhongtian noticed that the eyes of the hard-hearted brigade seat were already full of tears!

………… Wuhan camp, the war room of the General Staff.

Admiral He Yingqin yawned a long time, and was about to go back to the room to rest, when Deputy Chief Bai suddenly walked in in a hurry and said loudly: "General seat, Xuzhou Baoshan Brigade emergency call!" ”

"Oh?" Admiral He hurriedly said, "What do you say?" ”

Looking at Deputy Chief Bai's expression, Admiral He knew that there was good news.

"Yue Weihan, this kid has won another big battle!" Deputy Chief Bai said excitedly, "The death battalion directly under the Baoshan Brigade took advantage of the night to sneak attack the Sixth Heavy Artillery Brigade of the Yue Army stationed in Thirty Miles, not only destroying more than 100 large-caliber field heavy artillery, but also killing and wounding thousands of soldiers, and destroying dozens of tons of war materials. ”

"What did you say, destroying the 6th Field Heavy Artillery Brigade of the Japanese Army!?"

When General He heard this, his face suddenly changed greatly, and the senior staff members in the war room also showed unbelievable expressions.

"It can't be." A senior staff officer shouted even more out of shape, "How can a field heavy artillery brigade of the army have a garrison of an infantry brigade, right?" Maybe it's an infantry wing, even if the Baoshan Brigade is all on the line, I'm afraid it won't be able to annihilate a heavy artillery brigade in a few hours, right? ”

"Lie!" Another senior staff member also echoed loudly, "Yue Weihan must be lying!" ”

Although Admiral He was very optimistic about Yue Weihan, he also felt unbelievable, and immediately looked back at Deputy Chief Bai.

Deputy Chief Bai sighed and said: "I don't know that this sneak attack of the death battalion directly under the Baoshan Brigade is actually a suicide attack, after breaking into the position of the Yue army with powerful assault firepower, the officers and soldiers of the death battalion have pulled grenades to detonate the ammunition, from the beginning they did not plan to come back alive, so they can achieve such great results!" ”

"I see." Admiral He nodded awe-inspiring and said, "Heroes, these are heroes!" ”

The senior staff officers, who had just questioned loudly, suddenly became silent, and then became solemn again.

Although what Deputy Chief Bai said was not alarming, most of these senior staff officers also grew up in the line of fire, and they seemed to see that on the battlefield where artillery was flying, one by one the brave and fearless [***] soldiers pulled grenades, and without hesitation, jumped into the ammunition box full of shells, and then there was an earth-shattering huge explosion.

This is the real life, this is the real death squad, this is the real hero!

Deputy Chief Bai's solemn tone sounded again, and he said: "In this battle, only six officers and soldiers of the death battalion directly under the Baoshan Brigade survived, and the remaining five hundred and sixty-eight people were all martyred!" As he spoke, Deputy Chief Bai handed over the telegram in his hand again and said, "This is the list of the fallen soldiers of the death battalion, as well as their excuses." ”

Admiral He stretched out his hands, took the message with a solemn expression, and immediately turned around and walked away quickly.

Deputy General Director Bai also hurriedly followed, he knew that Admiral He was going to urgently present the news and the list full of the names of the fallen soldiers to Chairman Chiang, and Vice Chief Bai could completely imagine what kind of mood Chairman Chiang would feel when he heard the news and saw this list, and this death battalion was afraid that it would be famous all over the world again.

………… Chairman Chiang's official residence, study.

After listening to Deputy Director Bai's narration, Chairman Jiang suddenly felt that the hairs on his body stood up!

Looking at the long list of fallen soldiers, Chairman Chiang burst into tears again.

The death squad is not new in the battle sequence of [***], and the decisive attack is even more commonplace for [***], in the battle of Songhu, the Gui army once organized a super death squad of tens of thousands of people, and almost all of them were killed, but none of these brave soldiers who fought bravely and died heroically have never moved Chairman Jiang in this way.

What really moved Chairman Chiang was the tremendous results achieved by the death battalion directly under the Baoshan Brigade in the absolute disadvantage!

Looking at the death squads of other [***] teams, most of them launched a decisive charge under the premise of having an absolute advantage in troops, and the results achieved were also very few, while the death battalion directly under the Baoshan Brigade launched a decisive charge against the Yue army ten times its own with an absolutely inferior force, and achieved incredible results!

With only one battalion of troops, he dared to counterattack a field heavy artillery brigade of the Yue Army, and in the end it succeeded!

What the death battalion directly under the Baoshan Brigade killed this time was not the artillery wing of the field division of the Yue Army, let alone the artillery squadron or artillery brigade of the infantry wing, but the field heavy artillery brigade directly under the jurisdiction of the strategic front army of the Yue Army! The field heavy artillery brigade is the lifeblood of the army, and the death battalion directly under the Baoshan Brigade has really hit the army this time!

Such results are not inferior even to the 5th and 10th Divisions of the Lunan Battlefield!

Thinking of such a heroic soldier and in the face of such brilliant victories, if Chairman Chiang did not shed a few tears, he would not even be a qualified politician.

"Heroes, they are all heroes!" Chairman Jiang gently wiped away the tears from the corners of his eyes with his sleeve, and then turned around and said to General He in an unquestionable tone, "Respectfully, early tomorrow morning, you will invite all Chinese and foreign media reporters in Wuhan to inform the world of the great victory in Xuzhou achieved by the death battalion directly under the Baoshan Brigade!" Then this list of fallen soldiers will be engraved on the martyr's monument outside the gate of the uprising, and at 12 o'clock at noon, the whole country will lower the flag at half-mast, and the people will mourn it together! ”

"Yes!" Admiral He snapped to the ground, turned around and left.

Seeing General He leave quickly, Chairman Jiang strode to the desk in a state of distress, and Wang Shihe, the chief of the state guard next to him, hurriedly spread out the rice paper and prepared the wolf's hair, Chairman Jiang mentioned the wolf's hair and did not hesitate to pen the dragon and snake, and in an instant, eight dragon flying and phoenix dancing calligraphy appeared on the snow-white rice paper: The first battalion of the National Revolutionary Army!
