Chapter 252: Hostages
All the tanks of the first detachment of the armored assault group that were resting in Jinzhou immediately started, Lao Lin accompanied his peacekeeping troops by car, and a mechanized army killed Xiangyi County, Pang Bingxun, who had not performed brilliantly before, transferred a division to follow, because the trains in Jinzhou were all driven by the Japanese, and the trains in the south could not be driven because the bridge was not repaired, so his division could only walk.
On the railway from Chaoyang to Yixian, more than 7,000 people left in Tufeiyuan are also rushing on the train to grab the road, he knows very well that the entire encirclement is so empty, this is still a cheap Yang Feng didn't expect that he would run cheaply, Jinzhou to Yixian is only a few dozen kilometers, the armored troops can run faster for more than an hour, and it will be too late to be too late, as for how the two of them rush over at that time, it is none of their business.
Tu Fei Yuan is a real old traitor and cunning, and this old traitor and cunning is not only manifested in his fooling Chinese officials, fooling his own compatriots He is also a good hand, from the beginning he was not prepared to care about the two dead and alive, dragging them on the one hand is to share the future crimes, on the other hand, it is also to pull two substitute ghosts, with them behind the Chinese will definitely not be interested in chasing and killing themselves, although Tu Feiyuanjun has always been known for his bold and righteous spirit, but when it comes to life and death, then he does not care about talking about righteousness.
The speed of the train is faster after all, just when the armored assault group can already see the county seat of Yixian, Tu Feiyuan has already crossed the Daling River with his men and horses, and then drilled into the mountains of Yiwulu, but a brigade pulled behind the most Lu has become Wu Gang's punching bag to vent his anger, and on the empty Daling River beach, ten four-barreled self-propelled anti-aircraft guns that have not done much work can be regarded as useful, and the hail-like 25mm shells smashed into the middle of the Japanese troops crossing the river at a rate of tens of thousands of rounds per minute, It can almost be said that in an instant this brigade is over, on the river, on the riverbank. The splattered flesh and blood formed a layer of blood mist at that moment, and the river turned real blood red.
In the distance, Tu Feiyuan, who had already drilled into the mountains and forests, held the telescope and trembled with his lips, and he didn't know whether he was distressed or frightened, of course, this thing was at most a remembrance, and then led the remnants of his subordinates into the mountains.
After the occupation of Yi County. The armored assault group is really not interested in pursuing Tufeiyuan, and there are still two Japanese divisions waiting to be cleaned up behind! Lao Lin immediately ordered to turn around and go south along the Daling River Valley to Chaoyang, and at this time Meiji Umezu had just passed Jianping, and at the same time he arrived at Shanhaiguan by train, and then the second detachment of the armored assault group that ran all the way from Shanhaiguan also arrived in Chaoyang.
The support army did not have any rest, and after hastily refueling, they immediately followed the battle from Jinzhou along the kilometer to Chaoyang, and before them, Pang Bingxun also personally led a division to kill from this line. The three men and horses galloped towards the small county town at the same time, but in the end it was Umezu Yoshijiro who won the race, and his second division of about 10,000 men reached Chaoyang first.
The tortuous terrain of the Daling River valley limited the speed of the first detachment of the armored assault group, and the rough road from Jinzhou to Chaoyang also limited the speed of the second detachment, and neither of them had run a train with rails.
However, Umezu Mijiro was not the slightest bit happy when he arrived in Chaoyang, and in fact he was now in a thunderous rage, which was indeed rare for Lieutenant General Umezu, who had always been known for his mild-mannered manners.
"Bastard, you coward. This coward, he doesn't deserve that general's uniform on him. He is simply a disgrace to the soldiers of the Empire!" Umezu Mijiro roared in the empty headquarters of Dohihara, and when an old ghost was overshadowed by another old ghost, it was inevitable that there was an inexplicable sense of shame in his heart.
According to the plan, the soil and fertile land must at least hold on to Chaoyang until they arrive, or he arrives, and then join forces to Yixian, even if the Chinese army has occupied Yixian by this time. But with the combination of their three divisions, they have enough ability to fight their way out, but now I didn't expect Tohihara to run away first, he ran away, but Umezu Mijiro and Shimohara Kuami were unlucky.
Now there is an armored unit in the east and a north to kill it. The wing left behind by Tufeiyuan in the west is still struggling to support under the attack of the Northeast Guangfu Army, and it is estimated that it is ready to break the jade, behind the ass of Xiong Mi in the lower plains, and the 80,000 troops on the original Great Wall line, this is really embattled!
There's nowhere to run! All retreats were blocked.
"Division commander, what should I do?" The chief of staff also asked with a sad face.
What else can I do? Of course, you can only fight! Umezu Mijiro said with a gloomy face: "Order the troops to set up defenses in Chaoyang City, and at the same time prohibit any Chinese in the city from leaving the city, and then send a wing outside the city to capture all the Chinese in the vicinity into the city."
This guy has been with Yang Feng for many years, and he knows very well that Big Boss Yang cherishes the lives of Chinese, and first got more than 100,000 hostages in the city, forcing him not to use heavy weapons, relying solely on the quality of guns and soldiers, pulling the two sides to the same level to fight, so there is some hope.
It is impossible for Ryokari to really sit back and watch the two divisions be wiped out, and the War Department will not sit idly by and watch this kind of thing happen, as long as he and Shimohara Kuami can hold on for half a month, even if they continue to increase troops from the country, they must also think of ways to rescue themselves from Lu.
"In addition, inform General Shimohara and ask him to arrange the defense in the same way in Jianping, and it is impossible for him to rush to Chaoyang." Immediately afterwards he said to the chief of staff.
Shimohara Kumaya really couldn't get to Chaoyang, because two hours later, the reconnaissance unit of the second detachment of the armored assault group arrived at the periphery of Chaoyang, and a Japanese squad responsible for capturing civilians as hostages in the periphery unfortunately encountered them.
Xiao Jiang, who stood on the turret and experienced the feeling of pulling the wind, was the first to spot the enemy, but he couldn't order the attack, because the commander of the other party was very smart, and he made the most correct reaction the moment he saw the tank, he did not hesitate to grab a Chinese girl next to him, and immediately blocked in front of him, and the soldiers under him also did the same, and used the civilians they escorted as their own shields.
"Mah!" Xiao Jiang was so angry that he smashed his fist on the tank, and then shook his hand in pain, the tank soldiers under him were also stupid, the muzzle of the black hole was pointed at the enemy, but he couldn't fire, although his platoon was empty of five tanks, followed by five infantry fighting vehicles and forty infantrymen, and there was also a platoon of infantry of Pang Bingxun's department who took a ride. The strength is not strong, but they can only look at a small group of Japanese soldiers on the opposite side, and the two sides are scolding each other in an incomprehensible language, and after discovering that these tanks really can't do anything about themselves, the tone of these Japanese soldiers becomes more and more arrogant.
This situation was not resolved until Xiao Jiang saw the smoke bomb canisters on the turret, because there was no opponent on the battlefield at all. So these things have always been decorations, and many tankmen have almost forgotten that there is this.
"Tell your brothers, wait a while, take advantage of the smoke screen to lean up and stab directly with a bayonet, be careful not to hurt your own people." He called the accompanying infantry platoon commander and said.
"Okay, we'll see later!" The platoon commander said with a sly smile.
The Japanese troops on the opposite side did not know what they wanted to do, in fact, they had no way to retreat now, although there were Chinese people as shields, but it was impossible to withdraw into Chaoyang City like this, so any move on this side made them fearful.
Suddenly a series of black shadows popped out of the canisters on the tank. The Japanese squad leader was stunned for a moment, and then saw a black shadow fall near him, and then there was a very light explosion, and white smoke rose instantly.
"The special bomb of the Chinese people!" He immediately exclaimed, and then subconsciously wanted to take the gas mask, how could the sniper who was attached to the infantry on the opposite side let go of such an opportunity, a gunshot rang out, and the bullet grazed the girl's ear and shot him in the head.
There were not many Japanese soldiers who reacted in the same way as this squad leader. After all, poison gas bombs are their magic weapon for victory, although they are generally useless when dealing with Yang Feng's minions in the northeast. Their gas masks were better than those of the Japanese, but they were invincible against the Chinese army in the past, and now when they see white smoke, they subconsciously think it is a poison gas bomb.
These soldiers who reacted quickly also had the most unlucky ending, but the Chinese soldiers on the other side endured it for a long time, and they naturally would not miss such a good opportunity. Soon the Japanese soldiers fell down with the sound of gunshots, and then the smoke screen spread, enveloping the remaining Japanese soldiers and the hostages in their hands, and at this time, the Chinese soldiers outside rushed into the smoke screen one by one with rifles with bayonets or stabbing cones.
It is impossible to really see anything like a smoke screen, and soon after entering the smoke screen area, the two sides looked at each other. The rest is the infantry-to-infantry battle, there is definitely no point in playing bayonets and shields at close range, maybe you have to be yin by those ordinary people, so the Japanese soldiers have left hostages and held bayonets to fight, although this job is also their strength, but the security division soldiers on those infantry fighting vehicles are each with a revolver, plus the platoon under Pang Bingxun is also a veteran of the Northwest Army, and he is also a veteran of playing bayonets, after a period of hand-to-hand combat, this group of Japanese soldiers was quickly cleaned up, However, more than a dozen Chinese soldiers were killed or wounded, and none of the hostages were injured.
"Report the situation here to the headquarters, just say that the Japanese army is taking the people hostage in Chaoyang City, preparing to fight with us in the streets, and then make up for the little devils on the ground and continue to advance." After Xiao Jiang learned about the situation from those ordinary people, he immediately said to the signal soldiers.
His information quickly reached Yang Feng, and this thing also felt a little headache, you must know that his favorite thing is heavy firepower, but according to Umezu Mijiro's play, he definitely can't do this, although Chaoyang is not a big place, but Commander Umezu has no problem getting more than 100,000 hostages.
Just as he was thinking about how to deal with it, information came from Jianping, and Kumiya Shimohara also adopted the same trick in Jianping.
"Ma, if Gu Shoufu had the mind of Commander Umezu, he wouldn't need to be reduced to the point of being cut in half, no wonder someone can be the chief of the army general staff, he can only be the commander of a division!" Boss Yang sighed that Umezu Mijiro's mind was not enough, but he also felt that this matter was really tricky, he was not worried that he would not be able to eliminate these two groups of Japanese troops, now nearly 200,000 troops have surrounded the past, even if they fight street battles, they can be crushed to death, it is nothing more than a large number of casualties, the total number of dead and wounded is less than 10,000 so far, and the number of Japanese troops eliminated has exceeded 40,000, even if another 20,000 deaths This battle is still a brilliant victory, what he is worried about is that the Japanese army will play like this in the future, that is the big trouble!
"We have to think of a way to do it once and for all, so that the Japanese army doesn't have the courage to do this again in the future, ah, there is, play hostage with me, right? Let's see who of us has the most hostages. Boss Yang suddenly smiled and said to Han Caiyi: "Call reporters, I want to hold a press conference."
Naturally, it was a big deal for him to hold a press conference, and reporters from all over the world from Pingjin flocked to the Pingjin SAR Parliament.
"I'm here to tell you something important." Boss Yang said into the microphone with an angry face.
The reporters below immediately looked expectant.
"The 2nd and 8th divisions of the Japanese army, which resisted stubbornly in Chaoyang and Jianping, ignored international justice in order to survive. In view of their heinous atrocities, I declare on behalf of the Government of the Pingjin Special Administrative Region that they have openly taken civilians hostage on the battlefield on a large scale, and now that they have taken hundreds of thousands of innocent civilians as hostages in these two cities in an attempt to stop the offensive of our troops. From this evening onwards, if the Japanese forces in Chaoyang and Kenpyeong do not release the innocent civilians in the city, the liberator bombers in Peiping will bomb all the cities in the five prefectures of Sendai, Aomori, Hirosaki, Akita, and Yamagata, where these two divisions were recruited, and will use not only napalm but also poison gas bombs. Boss Yang said seriously like a press spokesman.
The reporters below immediately boiled. Big news, absolutely big news, there is no accident in the first half, the battle has been fought to this extent, the Japanese army naturally cannot sit still, and they have not done anything to take civilians as hostages, although it is indeed a bit too much to take the people of the two cities as hostages, but in order to save their lives, it is impossible to say that they can do it.
But Boss Yang's revenge is absolutely bull B. If you dare to take the Chinese hostage, then I will go directly to bomb your hometown. Do you want to die by yourself or take your wife and children to die together? Not only do I have to burn with napalm, but I also have to use poison gas to invent myself, in short, I will use any method to kill more people, I believe that at this time, the Japanese army in the morning sun and Jianping must be very entangled.
Yang Feng was not just a press conference, but the napalm of the Xishan Arsenal was pulled to the airport one by one. Then he loaded the plane in front of the reporter's lens, and then took these photos and made flyers and threw them into Chaoyang and Jianping City.
At this time, the Japanese troops in the two places had all been surrounded, the entire armored assault group on the periphery of Chaoyang, the peacekeeping force in eastern Hebei, and the two divisions of Pang Bingxun's department. The Northeast Liberation Army Zhao Yi has an army, adding up to a total of almost 70,000 people.
One army of the Shangzhen Department on the periphery of Jianping, two divisions of Fu Zuoyi's division, two divisions of the 29th Army, plus a brigade of the Security Division, added up to more than 80,000, and the 50,000 people led by Sun Dianying were coming, and they had formed an absolute advantage over the Japanese troops in these two places.
"Your Excellency Division Commander, what should I do?" The chief of staff took a leaflet and asked Umezu Mijiro with a pale face.
"What else can I do? Let all the Chinese in the city go!" Commander Umezu sighed, his face suddenly seemed to be much older, and now he almost said that he was both Shengyu and He Shengliang, speaking of which he had fought with Yang Feng in Beiping for so many years, he never thought that this guy was so wise, at most he was a little clever, but in the face of the imperial army that he could say was full of talents, he was always helpless, in the end, people have cards to play, even if the card skills are bad, play to death.
Although he is in Oita and he doesn't care much about whether the people of Sendai die or not, but the Sendai soldiers under him are different, the Sendai soldiers are indeed brave, and the legacy of the one-eyed dragon is still there, but you want them to take their wives and children to die, it is estimated that no matter how brave they are, they have to think about it, not long after Yang Feng's leaflet was spilled, the Japanese soldiers in the city couldn't stand it, this was not Okinawa during the Pacific War, at that time they were all completely desperate, and it is estimated that the Japanese themselves felt that the country was wiped out, So it's just that everyone died together, and now it's different, if your wife and children are still living well at home, it will definitely not work if you are implicated in your own life, so the people of Chaoyang began to be driven out of the city by the Japanese army before it got dark.
Soon after the people of Chaoyang left the city, the people of Jianping were also driven out by the people of the Eighth Division.
"How good is this, in the future, we will take this as a rule, whoever plays this hand with us again, then go directly to bomb his hometown, at least one life for one life, and if one Chinese citizen dies, at least one Japanese citizen must die, but in this way, it seems that there are fewer bombers, and if there are four hundred, the deterrent power will be sufficient."
There is also this gas bomb, it seems that it must be done, since modern times, it is not easy to make here, and the formula can be sold for money. "Boss Yang is very satisfied with this result, in fact, this time he is a little bluff, although there are a lot of napalm bombs, but the effect of sprinkling in so many places is very limited, as for the gas bombs, he really doesn't have them, but it is not difficult to think of them, go back to find someone to inquire about the manufacturing methods of sarin gas, VX, and then get here to manufacture them on a large scale.
"It seems that Shalin was made by Xiao Xi, but he didn't dare to use it, speaking of which, his courage is still a little smaller, just thinking about it for fear of provoking a larger scale of poison gas retaliation, and I don't want to think about how to win without sacrifice? If he had put sarin gas in V2 missiles and hit Britain every day, he would have killed 100,000 Germans himself, and it is estimated that Churchill would have knelt down long ago, but this trick may have no effect on Joseph. The thing couldn't help but imagine the future again. (To be continued......)
