Chapter 327: Major General Kunisaki's Decision

In the midst of the little devil's shouts and screams, bayonets mercilessly solved his life. At this time, the entire artillery position of the Japanese army was like a slaughterhouse in front of the special combat personnel. At the same time, nearly 100 special combat team members, who were covered in blood, looked more like cruel murderous demons in front of the little devils.

Finally, in the midst of the screams, the little devils on the artillery position slowly decreased. The number of corpses lying on the ground is slowly increasing. In front of these well-trained special combat personnel, even if the little devils want to resist, in the end, they can only inflict a very small price on the special combat personnel. And he has to pay the price of his life.

Ten minutes later, the entire artillery position finally fell silent. Although in the course of the massacre. Quite a few little devils used the weapons in their hands. However, the sporadic gunfire in Taiyuan City, which had fallen into chaos, did not cause any waves at all.

"All of them, gather immediately" Seeing that there was no longer a single little devil standing on the entire position, squadron leader Wang Hong wiped it clean and splashed the blood on his face. The blood-stained dagger was wiped clean on the devil's military uniform, and carefully inserted it back into the scabbard. shouted loudly at the team members who were mending bayonets to the little devils.

"The first squad reported 12 and the second squad reported the number" Soon, nearly 100 special combat team members, who were almost covered in blood, immediately stood in front of Wang Hong under the leadership of their respective squad leaders. After the battle just now, at this time, the entire phalanx was full of murderous aura.

However, something that worried Squadron Leader Wang Hong still happened. Because in the phalanx in front of him, there are a lot of vacant places.

"Report to the captain, the troops have been assembled, there should be 126 people, but there are 95 people, the report is complete, please instruct." Soon, the deputy captain of the troops, who was also covered in blood, ran in front of Wang Hong and reported loudly.

"Well, what about the casualties of the troops. Also, are the results counted? Wang Hong nodded and asked.

"In the report, the captain, the entire squadron, lost 24 special combat personnel, and 7 special combat personnel were seriously injured. In addition, in the battle just now, we annihilated a total of 426 people, and none of them escaped the net. Report complete"

In this way, the Second Squadron of the Special Operations Brigade completely annihilated an artillery brigade at the cost of the sacrifice of 24 members. Very good support for the siege of the rapid reaction brigade outside the city.

"Moxi Moxi, is it an artillery brigade?" Until this incident, several combat staff officers in the war room of the army headquarters were still constantly making calls to the artillery brigade. However, the other party is silent or silent. In the face of the commander's anger, there was no reaction at all.

"Baga, why hasn't the artillery brigade returned fire, the warriors of the empire are under artillery fire on the city walls, and the artillery brigade has not reacted at all. Eight Ge Yalu, I will kill the captain of the artillery brigade with my own hands." Hearing the report of the operational staff officer, the artillery brigade was still not contacted. Hearing the increasingly violent explosion of shells on the city wall, the commander couldn't help but curse loudly.

"Hi, Your Excellency Commander" Hearing the scolding of His Excellency the Commander, the combat staff officer could only act as a substitute for the dead ghost and endure the commander's scolding.

"Baga, the commander must let the artillery brigade return fire immediately, otherwise, it will be dead, it will be fast," the commander ordered loudly.

"Hi, Your Excellency Commander" Listening to the commander's order, the combat staff couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief and left the command headquarters as if fleeing.

However, the departure of the heralds one by one not only did not allow the artillery brigade to open fire, but brought back earth-shattering news.

"Your Excellency Commander, something has happened, something has happened to the artillery brigade" After receiving the news that the artillery brigade had been attacked, the operational staff officer did not dare to slack off, so he could only bite the bullet and hurriedly rushed into the commander's office.

"Nani? Did the herald send out, why didn't the artillery brigade fire to suppress it" Seeing the staff officer in a hurry, Major General Noboru Kunisaki at this time didn't care about the etiquette of a soldier, and asked with a frown.

"Your Excellency Commander, there has been an accident in the artillery brigade, and the herald has just come back to report that more than 400 imperial soldiers in the artillery brigade from the captain to the captain are all broken on the artillery position, and I don't know who did it. Moreover, these artillery personnel were all killed by cold weapons," the combat staff officer, with his head down, whispered this astonishing news to the commander in front of him, Major General Noboru Kunisaki.

"Nani, the whole army of the artillery brigade is broken, how is it possible, it is impossible, it is absolutely impossible." The commander, Major General Noboru Kunisaki, who reacted from the words of the combat staff officer, opened his mouth and said in disbelief.

"Hi, Your Excellency, this is all true. I guess that the city of Taiyuan must have been mixed with the special operations brigade of the most elite troops of the Reading Division, and they must be lurking in Taiyuan City. Otherwise, there was no unit in the Eighth Route Army that was so strong in combat effectiveness. Seeing the commander with a surprised face, the combat staff officer said with conviction, and said his guess.

"Eight Grid Tooth Road, it's this small army again. The last time the Taiyuan Army General Hospital was attacked, it was also caused by this unit, the eight grid road is not right, they must have other targets lurking in Taiyuan City, Baga, quickly, immediately send a squadron of military police again to protect the residence of His Excellency the Commander, Your Excellency the Commander must not make any guesses, hurry" Hearing the combat staff officer talk about the special operations brigade of the Reading Division, which is famous throughout North China, the commander Major General Kunizaki Noboru, who didn't believe it very much, had to nod his head in agreement at this time. Because, in the eyes of the Yue Army, this elite unit of the Reading Force Division is like an invincible demon, as long as there is a place for them, the heroic Imperial Army soldiers have no chance to survive at all.

"Hi, Your Excellency Commander, I will immediately send all the gendarmerie units to protect the safety of Your Excellency the Commander, please rest assured, Commander." After saying that, the operational staff officer hurriedly left the office of the commander, Major General Noboru Kunisaki.

"What about the Chief of Staff? Immediately called the chief of staff" Seeing the departing operational staff officer, Major General Kunisaki Noboru did not feel any relaxation. Because he knew that without the support of artillery fire, coupled with the abundance of heavy artillery shells of the Eighth Route Army outside the city, it would be a matter of time before the Taiyuan city wall was blown up.

"Report to Your Excellency Commander, is there anything going on?" Soon, the door to the office was pushed open, and the chief of staff hurriedly walked in and asked.

"Chief of Staff, how is the battle situation at the South Gate now?"

"Your Excellency, Commander, due to our lack of artillery support, the valiant Imperial soldiers are completely exposed to the heavy artillery fire of the Eighth Route Army. More than half of our 1st Garrison Brigade has been lost, and more importantly, under the shelling of the enemy's heavy artillery, the heavy weapons on the city walls have basically been lost. In addition, the trenches outside the city, under the cover of the enemy's heavy artillery shelling, had been completely blown up by the engineering units of the Eighth Route Army, and they had lost any role in defending against the enemy. Listening to the question of His Excellency the Commander, the Chief of Staff hastened to reply.

"Nani, the first brigade has lost more than half of it, alas, chief of staff, immediately order the reserve third brigade to go to reinforcements, and be sure to block the enemy for two hours. Forget it, don't go, find someone to deliver the order, I have important things to discuss with you. "Seeing the chief of staff preparing to leave his office. The commander, Major General Noboru Kunisaki, suddenly remembered that he had called the chief of staff, and the most important matter had not yet been discussed, so he hurriedly said.

"Hi, Your Excellency Commander," the Chief of Staff nodded, returning to Major General Kunisaki again.

"Chief of Staff, sit down," Major General Kunisaki said, pointing to the sofa opposite. At the same time, he stood up and sat down on another couch.

"Hi, thank you, Your Excellency, Commander."

"Chief of Staff, the situation is like this, just received a report that our artillery brigade was attacked by the enemy and the whole army was annihilated. What's more, all of these jade-shattered Imperial warriors were killed by the enemy with cold weapons," said the commander, Major General Noboru Kunisaki.

"What? Impossible, when did our enemy have such a powerful fighting force. It's impossible, besides, how did they get into the heavily guarded Taiyuan City. Listening to the commander's words, the chief of staff was shocked, completely forgetting that it was his commander who was sitting in front of him, and asked loudly.

"Chief of Staff, do you think I will lie to you with such a thing, now the bodies of more than 400 soldiers of the artillery brigade are being placed in their positions." Looking at the surprised chief of staff, the commander, Major General Noboru Kunisaki, did not blame anything, but continued.

"Baga, cunning Eighth Route Army. Commander, have you caught these hateful enemies, I must cut off their heads with my own hands. Listening to the commander's affirmative answer, the chief of staff fell silent.

"Alas, if the enemy can let us catch it, then they will not be able to quietly destroy our artillery group. I don't know, Chief of Staff, have you ever heard that the Reading Division has an elite unit, an elite unit dedicated to dealing with our army. The commander, Major General Noboru Kunisaki, shook his head and continued to ask.

"Nani, Your Excellency Commander, you're talking about the Special Operations Brigade of the Reading Division, it's them" After listening to the commander's reminder, the chief of staff's face turned white. Because he clearly remembered the scene after the special operations team of the reading division attacked the Taiyuan Army General Hospital, it was simply a hell, not a hospital.

"Yo Xi, that's my guess. Otherwise, not a single small unit of the Eighth Route Army had such a strong combat effectiveness. Chief of Staff, now this unit is hiding in a corner of Taiyuan City. I think they infiltrated Taiyuan not only for the sake of our artillery brigade," the commander asked thoughtfully.

"Commander, what do you mean?" as he spoke, the chief of staff pointed his finger at the residence of General Bin Sanyuan, the supreme commander of North China.

"Yo Xi, so I'm looking for you to discuss, what should I do next? How to ensure the safety of His Excellency the Commander" saw that the chief of staff understood what he meant. The commander, Major General Noboru Kunisaki, nodded and continued.

Listening to the commander's answer, the chief of staff was also silent. You must know that at this time, the army in the entire Taiyuan City is less than 3,000 people, and the city is not enough to defend the city, where did so many soldiers come from to protect His Excellency the General. Although there are still several regiments of puppet troops in the city, their combat effectiveness, thinking of this, the chief of staff is extremely speechless. Soon, however, the chief of staff remembered the more than 2,000 expatriate forces he had just assembled.

"Your Excellency, Commander, I have just gathered more than 2,000 people from the diaspora to arm, and the number is still increasing. I think that we should concentrate all the expatriates and puppet troops to defend the city, replace all the elite imperial soldiers, protect Your Excellency the General, and break through from the north gate" The chief of staff sorted out the thoughts in his mind.

"Nani? Armed with expatriates and puppet armies, replace the elite Imperial Army soldiers and protect His Excellency the General to break through. Yo Xi, Chief of Staff, this is the best way to do it at the moment. In a word, even if Taiyuan is lost, it will not allow His Excellency the General to suffer any damage. Listening to the words of the chief of staff, the commander of the commander, Major General Noboru Kunisaki, whose originally tightly knit brows, suddenly stretched out and said excitedly.

"Hi, Your Excellency Commander" The Chief of Staff breathed a sigh of relief when he saw that the Commander agreed to his proposal.

"Yo Xi, Chief of Staff, you go down and arrange it immediately, give a death order to the puppet army and the expatriate armed forces, there is no order, those who retreat will be killed, and also, order all the retreating Imperial Army soldiers to assemble around the residence of His Excellency the General, and go to execute it immediately" The commander, Major General Kunizaki Noboru nodded, nodded and ordered.

"Hi, Your Excellency Commander" The Chief of Staff turned and left the command and began to convey orders. And the commander, Major General Noboru Kunisaki, also followed closely behind the chief of staff and walked out of his office. Under the protection of a small squad of guards, he walked out of the headquarters and walked towards the residence of His Excellency the Commander.

"Kunizaki-kun, why did you come here, why didn't you go to the headquarters to command the troops to fight, could it be that the attack of the Eighth Route Army has been repulsed, but what is the sound of this artillery?" Seeing that the commander of Taiyuan, Major General Kunizaki Deng, actually came to his residence. Commander General Bin Sanyuan asked with a frown.

"Your Excellency General, the Eighth Route Army is still attacking the city, and the offensive has become more and more fierce, and the city wall is in danger of falling at any time. I have come here to ask Your Excellency the General to retreat immediately, and I will send at least one brigade of elite Imperial troops to cover your breakthrough and protect your safe return to the Pingjin area. Listening to General Bin's question, Major General Kunizaki Noboru smiled wryly, shook his head and said.

"Nani, Kunisaki-kun, what the hell is going on. There is a wing of elite imperial troops in the city, and an artillery brigade, plus the strong city defense of Taiyuan City. Why can't you stop the attack of the Eighth Route Army? Hearing that Major General Noboru Kunisaki in front of him had come to ask him to retreat, General Bin Sanyuan asked in disbelief.

"Hi, Your Excellency. If nothing else, the special operations team of the Reading Force Division has entered Taiyuan City and is lurking in a certain corner of the city. For the sake of your safety, please evacuate the county immediately. I will lead all the remaining Imperial soldiers and swear to live and die with the city. Seeing General Bin Sanyuan, who might be angry at any time, Major General Kunizaki Noboru didn't dare to hide anything, and hurriedly explained.

"The Special Operations Brigade, Baga, is this unit again. Last time, the Taiyuan Army General Hospital was attacked by this unit, and all the wounded soldiers of the imperial army of nearly 1,000 people were shattered in the hands of this unit. Bage Yalu, Kunizaki-kun, what basis do you have to judge that this unit of the Eighth Route Army, which is extremely strong in combat, has infiltrated Taiyuan City. Hearing that it was the special operations team that had infiltrated the county seat, General Bin Sanyuan couldn't help frowning and asked loudly.

"Hi, Your Excellency. Our artillery brigade, just twenty minutes ago, was killed by a mysterious unit, all with cold weapons. None of the 432 officers and soldiers in the entire brigade, from the captain down, survived, and all of them were shattered," Noboru Kunisaki said the shocking news.

"Nani? All of them were killed by cold weapons, and Bage Yalu must be this army. This unit of the Eighth Route Army is very good at cold weapon combat, it must be them. Hearing this, General Bin Sanyuan completely believed the words of Major General Kunizaki Noboru in front of him, and the Special Operations Brigade of the Eighth Route Army had indeed lurked into the county.

"Hi, Your Excellency, for your safety, please retreat immediately. The entire North China army needs your command, and you must not have any accidents. Please transfer His Excellency the General immediately" Seeing that General Bin Sanyuan was unexpected, and did not get angry, Major General Kunisaki Noboru hurriedly seized the opportunity and continued to persuade.

"Alas, Kunisaki-kun, I'll retreat right away. However, please be sure to hold Taiyuan City, and it is said that this empire cannot do without Taiyuan City" Seeing the persistent Major General Kunizaki Noboru. General Bin Sanyuan nodded helplessly and commanded.

"Hey, Your Excellency General, I will definitely defend Taiyuan City and swear to live and die with Taiyuan." Major General Noboru Kunisaki hurriedly saluted and replied solemnly.

"Yo Sai, Kunisaki-kun, let's go. I don't have anything to pack here. The sooner I get out of the city, the more time you'll be able to spend defending the city. After speaking, General Bin Sanyuan picked up a general's command knife on the table and walked out of his residence.

At this time, under the order of the chief of staff, the reserve third brigade, which was preparing to reinforce the city wall, had already assembled outside the residence of the commander, General Bin Sanyuan, and was on standby. Seeing General Bin Sanyuan walk out of the door, immediately, in the voice of the commander's orders. All the Imperial soldiers stood there as if they were waiting to be reviewed.
