Chapter 35: The Battle of Hewwa County Kills Sakai Hoji
XIAO Li Zhuang. Chahar sent the Corps Temporary Command.
"Nani, do you say that again?" Hideki Tojo shouted into the phone, looking incredulous.
"Report to Your Excellency Commander, the arsenal of the Imperial Army was attacked by a small unit of China, and the people of China shelled the oil depot with mortars, resulting in the destruction of all the oil and ammunition of the Imperial Army, and the defenders of the arsenal suffered heavy losses, and Major General Sakai Hoji was seriously wounded, and the rescue was ineffective, and he died ten minutes ago."
"Yaga, how is it possible, how many people did the Shina army send in total, and how did that idiot Sakai Hoji get killed by the Shina people." Hideki Tojo asked angrily.
"Report to Your Excellency Commander, Your Excellency Sakai was not killed by the people of China, but was hit in the head and chest by shrapnel from the shells of the arsenal, and was sent to the field hospital. At the same time, almost all the senior officers of the 1st Independent Mixed Brigade were killed by stray bullets, and the brigade headquarters of the 1st Independent Mixed Brigade was razed to the ground. ”
"Baga, which branch of the Chinese army did it, this is the greatest shame of the Imperial Japanese Army, and it must be washed away with the blood of this Chinese army." Hideki Tojo roared.
"I'm sorry Your Excellency, according to the patrol soldiers on the periphery of the arsenal, there are many units of baggage troops to the arsenal to replenish ammunition tonight, they have checked all the vehicles and personnel, and no suspicious characters have been found, and it is not clear for the time being which army did it."
"Baga, rice bucket, rice bucket!" After scolding, Hideki Tojo slammed the phone on the table.
Hideki Tojo sat down in his chair suddenly, the telegrams of the two artillery brigades had not been reported to the base camp during the day, and now the headquarters of the 1st Brigade of the Independent Mixed Brigade had been destroyed, and the brigade commander, Major General Sakai Hoji, had broken the bar, if these telegrams were reported to the base camp together, it would definitely make those old things in the base camp doubt their abilities.
What made Hideki Tojo even more irritated was that he didn't even know who the enemy was now, and today this Shina army could sneak attack the arsenal and destroy the brigade headquarters of the 1st Brigade of the Independent Mixed Brigade. Maybe one day they will be able to sneak up on their headquarters and cut off the head of their own lieutenant general.
"Guard, pick up Eichi Hirahara!" Hideki Tojo said slowly.
"Hail"
"Moxi Moxi, I'm Second Lieutenant Fujita of the Headquarters of the Chahar Dispatch Corps of the Imperial Japanese Army, please help me pick up Eiichi Hirahara, Your Excellency Tojo wants to talk to him"
"Your Excellency, the phone has been connected, and Plains Dazuo is next to the telephone!"
Hideki Tojo took the phone and said, "Hirahara, I'm Hideki Tojo!" ”
"Hello Your Excellency Tojo, the head of the Hirajin side of the Great Japanese Empire's Special High-Tech North China Hirajin is in charge of the Hiraku, and I salute you."
"Plains, just now the headquarters of the 1st Independent Mixed Brigade was infiltrated and attacked by a small unit of China, and suffered heavy losses, and the commander of the 1st Independent Mixed Brigade and Regiment, Major General Sakai Hoji, was loyal to His Majesty the Emperor, and we didn't even find out who the enemy was, so we need the assistance of your special high-tech department."
"Hai, Your Excellency the commander rest assured, the humble post immediately sent someone to assist in the investigation, and in addition, the people of China will definitely spare no effort to publicize the results of such a battle, and when the time comes, it will be known that the road is what the Chinese army is for."
"Yo Xi, we must find out this bold and reckless Chinese army, and then completely wipe it out, and use the head of the commander of this force to pay tribute to the dead of the great Japanese warriors." Hideki Tojo said solemnly.
"Hai, but I would like to remind Your Excellency the Commander that there is a branch of the army that you should pay special attention to, this branch of the army is very strong in combat, and the imperial army must not take it lightly."
"Oh, which one of the Chinese armies actually gave such a high opinion to the elites of the Imperial Intelligence Department?" Hideki Tojo asked with a slight surprise.
"This is a local army in China, with only one regiment, and it is stationed in Xinghe County, Suiyuan Province, China. This army was not formed for a long time, only half a year, but this army purchased a large amount of arms and medicine from the Germans, and not long ago a special task force under the command of the lowly and the transport team of this branch of the army met, and after a fierce battle, our army was completely annihilated. This army is stationed less than fifty kilometers from your position, and it is very likely that the incident was carried out by that Chinese army. "Plains Rong Yi.
"Security Corps, Xinghe! Wait, Hirahara-kun, please wait! Hideki Tojo frowned and thought for a moment, then turned to Major General Yasuoka Masatomi, the chief of staff on the side, and asked, "Yasuoka-kun, what is the number of the Shina army that attacked the artillery position of the sending army during the day today?" ”
"Report to the commander, it's the Xinghe County Security Regiment of China." Yasuoka replied.
"Pingyuanjun, this branch of the army has already made a move, just last night, this bold and reckless China security regiment sneak attack Xinping Fort, an infantry squad of the imperial army collectively shattered, this morning this unit sneak attacked the imperial army's artillery position outside Tianzhen City, two artillery brigades and an infantry squadron were completely annihilated, and the two captains were all killed." Hideki Tojo said bitterly.
"It's a dereliction of duty, and I didn't pay attention to this branch of the army before." Hirahara said reproachfully.
"Pingyuan-kun, it's no wonder you, it's the imperial army that is too light on the enemy, the Imperial Japanese Army is invincible all the way south, under the attack of the Imperial Army, the troops at the division level of the Chinese Army fled in a hurry, and the group army only dared to retreat in key towns to survive, who would have thought that a local army with only a few thousand people would dare to sneak attack the imperial army." Hideki Tojo.
"We don't know much about this security regiment, but it's not a little, since the last time the special task force was wiped out, he sent people to infiltrate Xinghe County to conduct secret investigations, and obtained a lot of valuable information." Plains Rong Yi.
"Yo Xi, Hirahara-kun is worthy of being the elite of the Japanese Empire's espionage, so please ask Hirahara-kun to immediately send the information about this branch army by telegram."
"Hay!"
Soon, some information about the Kowa County Security Corps was sent to Hideki Tojo's desk.
"The Xinghe County Security Regiment, a local security force in Suiyuan Province, is organized as a regiment of the Army, with a full complement of 2,885 personnel. Commander Chen Feng, age 23, non-professional military background, no systematic military education experience"
After reading the relevant information collected by Tegaoke, Hideki Tojo was furious, and it was a great shame that the elite of the Imperial Japanese Army was defeated by such an army composed entirely of farmers.
For a high-ranking officer like Hideki Tojo, there is no shame in defeating a battle, and when the army loses a battle, no one dares to claim that it is victorious in a hundred battles, and no army is invincible.
But it depends on who loses, if it loses to the elite of the central army of the Chiang government, Tojo Hideki can barely accept it, if it loses to local warlords like Yan Xishan, Liu Xiang, and He Jian, Tojo Hideki is absolutely unacceptable.
However, now the Kwantung Army, which is known as the most elite in the Japanese Empire, has lost to a local army that is not even a miscellaneous card in China, and Hideki Tojo has only one feeling, and that is to vomit blood.
"Order: The Honda Wing must take Xinghe within three days, annihilate the Xinghe County Security Regiment, and capture Chen Feng, the supreme commander of the Security Regiment, alive." Enraged, Hideki Tojo issued an order that he regretted for the rest of his life, and it was this order that ruined the last trace of life of the Japanese Honda Wing.
Just when Hideki Tojo was so angry that he vomited blood, Chen Feng received a prompt from the intelligent elf: "Kill the Japanese Army Major General Sakai Hoji, and the host will get a chance to draw a lottery with a system reward, will I ask if the lottery will be drawn immediately?" ”
"Save the data and talk about it later!"
"Data Saved in Data Save"
Chen Feng was happy in his heart, Sakai Hoji was killed, grandma's, this is a major general of the Japanese army, the first Japanese general to be killed since the start of the war.
Seeing that Xinping Fort was in sight, Chen Feng whipped the horse's ass fiercely, and shouted: "Brothers, work hard, when you arrive at Xinping Fort, the commander will give you more food." ”
A team of knights who followed Chen Feng applauded, after following Chen Feng for so long, these guys all knew what Chen Feng was talking about, it was a large piece of meat, although it could not be drunk in a big bowl, but a large piece of boiled meat and white flour bun were made hard.
After coming to Xinpingbao, Chen Feng immediately turned the original battalion headquarters of the first battalion into his former enemy headquarters, the map was hung up, and the radio station was also set up.
After cleaning up the headquarters, Chen Feng looked at the time, it was almost five o'clock in the morning.
"Operator, immediately send a telegram to the command of the Seventh Army, the message is as follows"
At Yanmen Pass, the headquarters of the Seventh Group Army was brightly lit, and Fu Zuoyi and the vast majority of the generals and officers of the entire group army headquarters did not sleep all night.
"Brother Xinwu, do you think this telegram from the 61st Army is credible?" Fu Zuoyi said with a frown.
"Returning to the military seat, there is still a certain degree of credibility, and there must be an explosion, I believe there will be no doubt about this. As far as I know, the Japanese army has always defended its arsenal very tightly, and to a heavy group like Chahar, his arsenal should at least have an infantry brigade or even an infantry wing to defend it, and it is not very likely that it will be attacked by a sneak attack. And we don't have the strength to attack the Japanese arsenal under the nose of the Japanese army, so I'm afraid it's a conspiracy of the little devils. Ye Qijie, deputy commander of the 35th Army, said.
"Conspiracy, what conspiracy?" Fu Zuoyi asked again.
"After the little devil's artillery was knocked out by Chen Feng's bastard, the artillery of the Chahar Dispatch Corps was only left with the light mortars equipped by the front-line field troops, and the defenders on the front line of Tianzhen were defending against danger, and it was probably not easy for the Japanese army to take Tianzhen in a short time. So the little devil may have been trying to lure the defenders to take the initiative to attack, and fortunately to wipe out the 61st Army in the field, so he made this one. Ye Qijie explained.
"Well, it's possible!" Fu Zuoyi thought for a while and said.
