Chapter 592: The Suburbs
After dealing with the Japanese sharpshooters, Xu Zhisong and others spent another afternoon to occupy all the shops on the right side of the street, but Xu Zhisong's squad also suffered heavy casualties, and at five o'clock in the afternoon, they had already occupied all the shops on the right side of the county building, and they had already lost four people, plus Xu Zhisong himself, they only had eight people left.
The Japanese also knew that their current situation was about to be occupied by the Chinese army on both sides, so that the county building where the Japanese army was located was facing a siege by the Chinese army on three sides, and even if the Japanese army had strong firepower, it would definitely not be able to withstand the three-sided siege of the Chinese army.
Between dark, the Japanese launched a counterattack, this time the Japanese organized a squad of troops to attack Xu Zhisong and others in the shop pΓΉ across the street thirty meters, the distance of thirty meters is very short, a few seconds of charge can rush over, the Japanese charged, but there were heavy casualties, and the remaining people who did not die did not dare to rush again.
Although Xu Zhisong and others only had eight people, they had two light machine guns and a large number of grenades, and before the Japanese could start to charge, Xu Zhisong and others threw the grenades over and killed and injured a large number of Japanese soldiers on the first floor of the opposite county building, and then the Japanese went crazy, staring at the grenade explosion and charging across the street, seeing that they did not expect Xu Zhisong and others to have two machine guns in their hands, these two machine guns were like the sickles of death ruthlessly harvesting the lives of the Japanese.
Due to the small number of Xu Zhisong and others, in order to concentrate their firepower, they all guarded the first store near the county building, so that the area of the Japanese attack would be much smaller, and if the Japanese came around from the square to attack. It would face the firepower of the main force of the Chinese army on the opposite side, so the width that the Japanese army could use for the attack was only about 20 meters. Of course, the Japanese can also come around from the side, and the Japanese have done the same. However, Xu Zhisong and others had a large number of grenades, and they kept throwing grenades outside the door, but all the Japanese soldiers who came around and hid outside the door were all killed.
When the Japanese attacked, the Chinese army on the opposite side of the square in front of the county building was also firing at the attacking Japanese army, and the Japanese army was hit by Chinese fire on the side when attacking, and the losses were also heavy, which was also the reason why the Japanese army could not do its best to attack Xu Zhisong and others.
When it was dark, the reinforcements arrived, the Japanese also retreated, and Xu Zhisong and others collapsed on the ground one by one. The place was taken over by reinforcements, Xu Zhisong and others picked up weapons and withdrew to the rear, and took the bodies of their fallen comrades with them before leaving.
On November 11, the Chinese army occupied the Fukuoka Prefecture building, and the remnants of the Japanese army of more than 5,000 people were compressed into the southwest city, but the Japanese ammunition was already scarce, before that, the son of the Japanese Shinichi Terauchi Shoyi was captured in the battle, and the infantry captains Matsui Ishine and Sugiyama Moto, as well as several high-ranking Japanese officers, were killed by the Chinese army. The remnants of the 22nd Division of the Japanese Army, such as Jiro Owawa and Shigeru Honjo, are still surviving.
On November 13, the Japanese army ran out of ammunition and food, and there was a shortage of water, so Daiwa Jiro intended to surrender. However, Shigeru Honjo and another wing commander strongly objected, demanding that they fight to the last soldier. Daiwa Jiro wants to live, he doesn't want to die. He sent someone to call the officers to a meeting that night, and killed Shigeru Honjo and another die-the spot. Together with other Japanese officers who were willing to surrender, they led their troops to surrender, and the Battle of Fukuoka ended.

Huaguo. The official residence of the President.
Xiao Zhenlei rarely rested, and on this day he was going to accompany his wife and children out for a walk in the wild, for which he also asked people to say goodbye to barbecue tools, food and some sets of ingredients, and also prepared a fishing rod and bait. Today, Cai Yi, Cai Guodong, Fan Zhiyong, Song Shijie and others and their families and children are also on the same page, and it can be said that this field trip is a family gathering of high-level Chinese officials.
Xiao Zhenlei sat on the sofa reading the newspaper in casual clothes, he was ready, and the ladies were still dressing up, women always had to clean up when they went out, which accounted for a large proportion of women's lives.
There have been more and more advertisements in the newspapers recently, and although Xiao Zhenlei does not like to read advertisements, this also reflects the fact that the number of factories and enterprises in China is increasing, and the number is increasing rapidly, and the economic development is faster than before.
"Let's go!" Wang Yanan and Cheng Biyao each walked out of the room with a child in their arms, and now the two children are still young, so they can only be held by their mothers, although the eldest son has learned to walk, he still often asks his mother to hug them.
Xiao Zhenlei looked up and snuffed out the cigarette butt when he saw it, put down the newspaper and got up and said, "Okay, let's go!" β
As soon as the family walked to the door and was about to get into the car, Yang Yongtai, the director of the chamberlain, came over and said: "President, the British Prime Minister's special envoy Zhu Erdian said that he had something important to see, and he is outside the gate now!" β
Xiao Zhenlei frowned when he heard this: "I finally rested today, why is this Zhu Erdian so uninteresting?" Even found me in the house? If you don't see him, you go and tell him that he will go to the presidential palace tomorrow to find me! β
"Yes!" Yang Yongtai agreed, and just as he was about to leave, he was stopped by Wang Yanan.
"Wait a year!" Wang Yanan stopped Yang Yongtai and said to Xiao Zhenlei: "How can Mr. Zhu Erdian say that he is also a British gentleman, how can he not understand that it is extremely rude to disturb your rest?" He knew that it would be rude to do so, but he still came, which shows that the matter must be very important, let's see it. Otherwise, we'll take the children first, and you'll come to us after you've seen Jurdian."
Xiao Zhenlei thought for a while and said: "In this case, it is better to let Zhu Erdian go together, General Cai Yi, General Guodong and Premier Song will all go first, if I go too late, it will be bad, let Zhu Erdian go together, no more than him, no less than him."
Cheng Baguio thinks that this is her family going to the wild, not talking about state affairs, what is it to let an outsider go? When the time comes, I will definitely talk about work again, and the nature of this trip will change, so she said: "That's whatever you want, but I have a request, only give you half an hour to talk about work, otherwise there will be no point in going to play this time."
Xiao Zhenlei had no choice but to compromise: "Okay, okay, just half an hour!" After speaking, he nodded to Yang Yongtai, and Yang Yongtai nodded to show understanding.
Yang Yongtai got into the car after everyone got into the car, and when the motorcade passed by the door, Yang Yongtai's car stopped next to it, and he got out of the car and walked to Zhu Erdian's car, leaning over and saying to Zhu Erdian in the car: "Your Excellency the Special Envoy, you really know how to pick a time, you know that today our president finally had a day off, but you came to disturb him, which made it very difficult for us to do."
Zhu Erdian hurriedly said: "Oh, I'm really sorry, Your Excellency the Chief of Guard, I have been entrusted by His Majesty the King and His Excellency the Prime Minister to have extremely important matters that I want to meet with your President, I really didn't mean to."
Yang Yongtai looked at Zhu Erdian for a few seconds and then shook his head: "Your luck is very good, our president agrees with you, but not here, follow my car, don't lose it."
Zhu Erdian was overjoyed when he heard this, and immediately said: "Thank you, thank you, don't worry, Your Excellency the Chief of Guard, I won't lose it."
An hour later, the convoy arrived at its destination, which was a meadow with a small river in the middle of the meadow and mangroves on both sides, it was already November, late autumn, and it was about to enter winter, the grass on the ground was withered and yellow, and the mangroves were flying everywhere with fallen leaves.
When Xiao Zhenlei and others arrived, Cai Yi, Cai Guodong, Song Shijie and Fan Zhiyong and their families all arrived, and after seeing Xiao Zhenlei and his party get off the bus, their family members came to say hello, while the men were grilling food.
Xiao Zhenlei asked Cheng Baguio and Wang Yanan to go over with the children first, he lit a cigarette in the same place and smoked, and after a while, Zhu Erdian's car also followed, after the car stopped, he got out of the car and hurriedly walked over to shake hands with Xiao Zhenlei and said: "Oh, Your Excellency, I'm sorry, I didn't expect your family to open a party today, I'm really sorry to disturb you!" β
Xiao Zhenlei smiled: "Since you have already disturbed, let's go together, if I drive you away at this time, you will definitely say that I am too rude, but I have to state first, no matter how important you are, you must wait until the final stage of this picnic before you can talk to me, if we start to talk about work, I'm afraid we will have nothing to eat today, because those women are not easy to mess with!" β
"Oh, President, as you wish, I don't want to be hated by these women who can affect the fate of the whole country, that is too bad!"
Xiao Zhenlei nodded with a smile when he heard this, and stretched out his hand: "Please, if you want to barbecue, there is an oven over there, but I will advise you to go fishing with us!" β
"Of course, of course, I actually think my fishing skills are pretty good, and I think we'll be able to grill the fish we catch later!" But I didn't bring fishing gear," Zhu Erdian hurriedly said, in fact, it was not that he didn't want to go to the barbecue, but that he was now wearing a very formal outfit, it was too indecent to do boiling, or fishing was a little more elegant, you must know that the arrogance and exquisiteness of the British are deep in the bone marrow.
"It's okay, I've got plenty of rods for you to use!"
Zhu Erdian said happily: "Oh, that's so thankful! β
When the two came to the river, Cai Yi, Cai Guodong, Song Shijie and Fan Zhiyong and others had already sat on the small bench and fished, and when they saw Xiao Zhenlei and Zhu Erdian coming, they all turned their heads to greet them.
Xiao Zhenlei said to a few people: "Everyone, everyone, so many people, I think it is better to hold a small friendly fishing competition to see who catches more, how about it?" Special Envoy Jurdian also participated".
"Agreed!"
"Good!"
Everyone smiled and agreed, and no one mentioned rewards and punishments. Song Shijie asked, "Then how do you compare?" Is it a quantity or a weight? β
Cai Yi smiled: "Compare the weight, so that the person who catches a small number of fish can have a chance to turn the tables!" β
"Agreed!"
So everyone reloaded the bait and threw the hook into the creek. (To be continued......)
