Chapter 277: Reporter Interview Group
Yamaguchi ordered to gather troops and retreat to the Fengtai garrison, this battle could not be fought, he definitely did not expect that a simple conflict, not even an encounter, but such a result, two artillery brigades, the whole army was wiped out, more than 3,000 imperial soldiers, drinking and hating the battlefield, whose fault is this? Yamaguchi looked at the demoralized soldier and asked to himself.
Yamaguchi didn't expect that the Shina army, which could only hide in the fortifications for defense, would suddenly show its hideous and sharp teeth and pounce on the ** team of the Great Japanese Emperor, who had no fighting spirit.
The overwhelming artillery fire turned the Japanese army assembly area into a sea of fire, and the two troops that had been lurking on the flank for a long time were like a vise, biting the Japanese troops who were dizzy by the shells.
The troops of the independent division in the frontal position also left the fortifications and fiercely pounced on the Japanese troops, and the soldiers who were holding back their strength, followed the explosion point of the shells, almost in an instant, they killed the Japanese troops.
Three heavy punches, smashed at the Japanese army, thousands of cavalry, like a red-hot sparrow through cheese, the Japanese army who had not yet woken up from the shelling, was killed and collapsed, a force, no matter how strong the combat effectiveness, how tenacious the will to fight, could not help but in the process of assembly, after being suddenly shelled, a large-scale cavalry charge.
The Japanese army's will to fight was completely disintegrated and returned to its original shape, and almost before they had time to fight back, the cavalry rushed to the front, the snow swords flew, and the Japanese soldiers fell to the ground screaming.
The soldiers of the cavalry brigade of the 29th Army are not used to killing the Japanese soldiers who have lost the ability to resist, and the soldiers of the independent division do not have this habit.
The soldiers of the cavalry brigade stuck out their tongues, and the battle lasted more than five hours, and more than 6,000 Japanese soldiers were strewn across the wilderness, stained with blood on the grassland on the red dam.
When the commander of the Yamaguchi Brigade fled with less than a squadron of soldiers, and when he heard that the Yamaguchi Brigade had suffered such a crushing defeat and was almost completely wiped out, the commander of the Japanese garrison in North China, Tashiro Wanichiro, was extremely angry and flew to the Yamaguchi Brigade in person to find out the matter.
Asked the commander of the Yamaguchi Brigade which unit was fighting with him, Yamaguchi woke up and fought for most of the day, he still didn't know which unit was the one who brought him annihilation, and what number?
Yamaguchi could only answer the almost rampaged commander based on his own speculation, which could be the troops of Song Zheyuan of the 29th Army.
Tashiro slapped his big mouth and let the donkey kick his head, does Song Zheyuan's troops have such powerful firepower and combat effectiveness? It is entirely possible to eat two wings of the Imperial Army at once, if it is the troops of an independent division.
Yamaguchi really didn't know the details, and he was beaten so badly that he couldn't even figure out which one was beating, and he felt that he was very derelict in his duty and had the idea of committing suicide by caesarean section.
In view of the command error of the commander of the Yamaguchi Brigade, he directly guided the imperial soldiers of the two wings and collectively shattered the jade, so that the military strength of the empire in North China was weakened by Yanzhòng.
In this regard, Major General Yamaguchi, the former commander of the brigade, had an unshirkable responsibility to immediately deprive him of all military posts and immediately escort him back to his homeland to be tried by a military court.
Even within the Japanese army, it was also classified as top secret and could not be spread, so as not to shake the morale of the army, and the 100 or so soldiers who escaped by luck were formed into a separate unit after receiving a stern warning, sent to remote areas, garrisoned material warehouses, and dealt with those guns and bullets.
Tang Qiuli's speculation was completely correct, the Japanese army, which had suffered such a big dumb loss, did not take advantage of this incident to make a big fuss, but instead aroused Tang Qiuli's high vigilance, according to the character of the Japanese, there was no big move, and it was not necessarily a good thing, it could only show that their decision to start a war against China in an all-round way had not changed.
According to intelligence officers, the main force of the independent division is besieging the bandits and Badar Hujun in Xiaowutai Mountain, and it is the unit that killed the soldiers of the two wings of the Yamaguchi Brigade? If you want to say that the 29th Army did it, you don't believe it when you kill Tashiro.
Urgently assembled, with the commander's questions, the more than 10,000 Japanese soldiers who rushed to the battlefield were already a day and a night later, and on the battlefield, except for the craters, not even a shadow of the other side could be seen.
The mutilated corpses of more than 6,000 Japanese soldiers were neatly stacked on the grassland, about 100 corpses were stamped on a piece, and more than 60 corpses were stamped in front of the eyes of more than 10,000 Japanese soldiers.
The Japanese soldier with the corpse intact, the military uniform on his body was stripped clean, all the complete guns and ammunition were not left at all, and the other party not only cleaned the battlefield very carefully, but also finished the criminal deed, and then calmly left.
The Japanese troops who rushed to the scene burned the corpses of the Japanese soldiers, and the fire kept burning for five days and five nights, there were too many corpses, and the stench of choking people did not drift away for a long time, and the people in the village who were in the limelight were made to sleep badly by the smell, but they did not know the source of the smell.
Tashiro, who received the report, although there was no direct evidence, he believed that this was the devil who was the bloody hand Qiuli, and in North China, there was no army with such a powerful ability to destroy miè, and it could only be a devilish army like an independent division.
But can we openly negotiate with the Nanjing government on this matter? Tashiro's answer is no, remember this blood feud first, and when the empire is ready, I, Tashiro, will drink Tang Qiuli's head first, and Tashiro almost gritted his teeth.
After dealing with the Yamaguchi brigade, take all the things that can be brought away, although the waist is full of money and the family foundation is strong, Tang Qiuli has always advocated diligence and thrift, learn to live a tight life, and never waste the things that can be used, and transport them back to the Huangyadong base area, Zhang Quan and Wang Xu can come in handy.
He took his troops and returned to the area of Dongnuanquan, and the thousands of recruits had already sent a regiment of troops to escort them back to Huangya Cave, carrying back a large number of captured materials.
Those bandits and Japanese troops who have been besieged for the first day have lost their use value, this bait made the Japanese army take in twelve bombers and two wings of soldiers, which played a great role, Tang Qiuli was ready to order Liu Tiehan to attack.
Zhao Yuhe sent an urgent telegram, which was sent directly to Tang Qiuli by the Nanjing Military and Political Department, which read: The major news organs in Nanjing have heard that the independent division has cracked down on bandits in North China and has achieved heavy results, and that the Central News Agency has taken the lead and united with the major news media throughout the country and foreign news counterparts to form a joint interview group to rush to the battlefield of suppressing bandits, make on-the-spot reports, and jointly cover the press group, and more than 200 people have left Nanjing by special plane today, and can arrive in Beiping this evening, so that Tang Qiuli, commander of the independent division and division, will do a good job in receiving them.
Tang Qiuli was very troubled, and he was the big man of the state government again, he was in a panic when he was full, and he had such a bad idea, didn't he add to the chaos?
If you kill more than 20,000 Japanese at one time and win a victory like the victory in Taierzhuang, even if you come to 2,000 reporters, I will also welcome it with both hands, and strengthen the prestige of our country and the army.
It's just more than 20,000 little thieves, is it worth such fanfare? As the saying goes, people are afraid of being famous, pigs are afraid of being strong, and life is not easy on the cusp.
When the time comes, look at it, good guy, your independent division is fat and strong, the cannon is like a forest, the small 100,000 horses, the soldiers are all like wolves and tigers, and you have such a thick belongings, you don't go to northern Shaanxi to suppress the Communist Party, but you ran here to suppress bandits, this should be the work of the local security regiment, what does it mean? Is it not without righteousness, or is it against the leader's instructions?
When the time comes, I will send the photos I have taken, and the human and material evidence will be complete, what is there to say, pull out the camp and start the village, leave immediately, and go to northern Shaanxi to fight the Vermilion Red Army, what should I do?
Tang Qiuli slapped his head directly, this matter was the idea of the big man in the national government, and the Ministry of Military Affairs ordered it, wouldn't it be He Yingqin? He immediately denied that this Minister He, because of Yin Rugeng's matter, had formed a bond with himself, so he would not do a good job of carrying a sedan chair for the independent division.
Can pass the order of the Ministry of Military Affairs, it can only be Chairman Jiang, and it also contains the meaning of sending his own cronies to the field investigation, the old man is scheming, so you can't refuse.
Okay, take it, Tang Qiuli immediately sent a telegram to Liu Tiehan, asking him to send the Second Cavalry Brigade Tong Batu Department and most of the special operations detachment to Beiping immediately to escort the joint press corps to the Xiaowutai Mountain battlefield to conduct on-the-spot interviews.
In this escort operation, Major General Tang Qiuquan, the head of the special detachment, is the commander-in-chief, and he coordinates all units and is fully responsible for this operation.
The security measures along the way must be strict to prevent accidents, if that bandit, on a whim, kidnaps these reporters and asks for ransom from themselves, then the joke can be big, and in North China in the future, will there be any confusion?
When the press corps arrived on the battlefield, the movement of the reporters was strictly controlled, on the grounds that it was close to the war zone, and it was surrounded by bandits, outlaws, who had to do it for their own safety.
Stipulate the interview route and area, don't let them see, they must not see, try their best to get them back to Beiping, those guns, cannons, and whatever, hide them when they should be hidden, Tang Qiuli secretly smiled bitterly, making it look like a thief.
At the end of the telegram, he sent Liu Tiehan a sentence: "Liangjia is deeply hidden, and a gentleman is virtuous," he believes that when Liu Tiehan sees this sentence, he will definitely understand his intentions and handle the matter seamlessly.
He led the troops and quietly drove back to Beiping, the news of Song Zheyuan's assassination, under the deliberate exaggeration of the Japanese, in the city of Beiping, there were already rumors, people were panicked, all kinds of forces, shirtless, jumped to the foreground, wanted to fill the power vacuum, fortunately, the 29th Army has not moved, and there are many discussions in private.
This mess in Peking has to go back and clean up in person.
