As an officer with rich combat experience, Chen Youliang knew the reason why the 3rd Brigade of the Special Mixed Brigade suffered so heavy casualties, and said: "Brigade seat, this has little to do with tactics, our soldiers are all composed of local garrison regiments, although most of them have received military training for half a year to a year, but half of these people are doing farm work in their own fields, it can be said that they are half farmers and half soldiers, they are not regular troops, and it is very unexpected for them to be able to fight like this. The people who can survive this battle will be truly qualified soldiers, and they will not be much worse than our veterans at that time, but now they still can't! ”

"I know that the low quality of the soldiers is certainly the main reason for the high casualties, but there is another reason that there is a problem with our tactical arrangement. The battle broke out a little suddenly, it was a large-scale battle caused by an encounter with a rescue operation, and now that our rescue mission has been completed, there is no need for us to wear down the Japanese army in this town. It was too close to the Lower Garden, where the Japanese troops were stationed, and it was very disadvantageous to our army. Our advantage is strong firepower, and our disadvantage is that the quality of the soldiers is not high, and the strength is limited, and it will take a day for the follow-up troops of the group army to be ready properly, so we must make use of our strengths and avoid our weaknesses, and we can neither let the Japanese army eat us before the main force of the group army arrives, nor can we let the casualties of the troops be too great, so we must change the current passive situation! Liu Li said.

Chen Youliang nodded and said, "What are you going to do with the brigade?" ”

"Lure the enemy deep and block it step by step!" Liu Li said.

"What does the brigade mean is that we are fighting while retreating, taking advantage of the terrain and strong firepower to kill and injure a large number of little devils?" Chen Youliang said.

"Exactly. The number of automatic fire equipment of our army far exceeds that of the Japanese army, and we still have dozens of anti-aircraft machine guns, as long as the blocking position is chosen, it is enough for the little devil to drink a pot! Liu Li said with a smile on her face.

"Okay, then do it!"

"Staff Officer Li, pass on my order: the first regiment immediately withdraws from the battle, and then goes to the rear of our army to build a blocking position, and an hour later the brigade headquarters, the second regiment, and the artillery battalion alternately cover the retreat, and guard the rear of the battalion."

"Yes!"

Soon, news of the retreat of the Chinese troops reached the Japanese headquarters of the former enemy. Lieutenant General Suematsu Shigera's tactics of attacking left and right were known to the Chinese. Therefore, he immediately ordered all the troops in Gujiaying Town to press up, and no matter what, they had to drag the Zhina army in front of them to buy time for the troops on the left and right flanks.

After receiving the order, Major General Kozaburo Akiyama, the supreme commander of Gujiaying Town, did not dare to slack off. Immediately, the command post troops and horses launched a counter-charge against the Chinese troops in Gujiaying Town. Attempted to hold back the 3rd Special Task Force Brigade and retreat.

However, the 3rd Special Task Force retreated very simply. Without giving the Japanese army the slightest chance to drag, when the Japanese troops rushed to the position of the 3rd Brigade of the Special Mixed Forces in Gujiaying Town, there were only empty improvised positions left, and nothing else was left.

"Yaga. Chase it, and hurry up! Major General Kozaburo Akiyama roared angrily.

"Hay!"

As Liu Li expected, the Japanese army really caught up. We have just received a report from Li Heshan, commander of the 1st Regiment of the 3rd Special Task Brigade, that they have built four blocking positions along the way, leaving an infantry company and a temporary machine gun company in each position, and it is conservatively estimated that each blocking position can hold back the Japanese army for more than an hour.

After receiving Li Heshan's telegram, Liu Li was overjoyed and ordered the guard battalion behind the palace to slow down the speed of retreat, stimulate and stimulate the little devil behind him, and don't let that dog thing in Qiushan lose his patience.

The Zhangjiakou direction started fighting so quickly, to be honest, this was really unexpected by Chen Feng, and of course also unexpected by the top brass of the 52nd Group Army, this battle was originally going to be fought, but now the troops have not yet assembled, and rash action is not Xu Hu's style. However, Xu Hu also knew that this was just an accident, he was not prepared on his side, and the Japanese army was not necessarily ready, since everyone was not ready, then prepare in the battle.

So while Xu Hu ordered his troops to actively march towards Xuanhua, he sent a report to Chen Feng, requesting the 52nd Group Army to launch an attack on the Japanese army in advance and disrupt the Japanese army's defensive deployment.

Chen Feng was indeed a little surprised to learn that the defenders of Xiahuayuan had been replaced by the 114th Division, the defenders of Xiahuayuan had always been changed from the Chinese garrison to the Yamashita Division, and the defender was also the Yamashita Fengwen who was called the "Malay Tiger" in the Pacific War, but he didn't expect the Japanese army to change the defenders and defenders.

This 114th Division is not very good, according to historical records, this division should have been withdrawn in August this year, I didn't expect that it is still active on the Chinese battlefield, and it is fate to meet this Japanese army.

Chen Feng immediately called Xu Hu back and appointed him as the commander-in-chief of the Pingjin Battlefield, responsible for the battle in the Pingjin direction, although the Pingjin Battlefield was only an auxiliary battlefield of the entire battlefield, and the main task of the 52nd Group Army was also a feint, but Chen Feng did not give Xu Hu any restrictions, and he clearly told Xu Hu that if the 52nd Group Army could defeat Beiping or Tianjin, he would have no opinion. In other words, tell Xu Hu that you can toss as much as you want, as long as you have the ability, even if you take Bin Shanyuan's head and kick it as a ball.

But Chen Feng had one condition, that is, he wanted to kill the 114th Division no matter what, and if he didn't work, he would kill Numata Tokushige, the deputy commander of the 114th Division, which was a hard order and the 52nd Army must complete it.

The reason why Chen Feng gave such a strange order was entirely because of one person, that is, Lieutenant General Numata Tokushige just mentioned, the reason why Chen Feng knew this bastard was entirely because he had read a book about the generals of the Japanese army who invaded China who died in China - "The Pillar of Shame of History - A Complete Record of the Deaths of 171 Japanese Army Commanders Who Invaded China", and there is a special introduction to this bastard in this book.

Of course, the most famous Japanese officer in China in history is Norihide Abe, the Japanese lieutenant general who was killed by the Eighth Route Army on the Loess Plateau. But in fact, the first lieutenant general officer to be killed was not Norihide Abe, but Shigetoku Numata, who was promoted to the rank of lieutenant general in March 1939.

Compared with Numata Shigetoku, Abe Norihide is not the highest-ranking person at all, his position is a brigade commander, and his military rank is a lieutenant general. In March 1939, Numata Tokushige was already a lieutenant general in the army, and his position was higher than that of Abe Norihide, but his death did not become a ranking of battle results, and even many history books have lost his person, as if the historian's pen was intentionally forgotten. However, no matter how much such a person is covered up, it is impossible that there is no record at all, such as Chen Feng, he knows this bastard.

Historically, Numata Tokushige landed at Jinshanwei with the army on November 8, 1937, joined the 10th Army to participate in the Battle of Songhu, captured Changxing on November 25, and attacked Nanjing in December to serve as the South Road, and was one of the murderers of the "Nanjing Massacre"; In February 1938, he was transferred to the North China Front, and in May he participated in the siege of the North Road in the Battle of Xuzhou. In March 1939, he was promoted to lieutenant general and was promoted to commander of the 114th Division of the 12th Army of the North China Front. It has been stationed in Jinan, Yanzhou and other places.

In June of the same year, after the Lunan operation ended, Numata Tokushige again aimed at the troops of the Luxi Military Region of the Eighth Route Army, in an attempt to eliminate the main force of the Eighth Route Army in the area and expand the so-called "security zone" of the Japanese army, so as to consolidate the so-called results of the war. On June 30, 1939, the Japanese army began a large-scale "sweep" from south to west.

Yang Yong, commander and political commissar of the Luxi Military Region of the Eighth Route Army, commanded the troops of the 1st, 2nd, and 3rd regiments and the 6th detachment, the Taixi Army Division, and the Yunxi Army Division, to engage the Japanese army and launch a comprehensive anti-"sweeping" operation. Therefore, Numata Tokushige's large-scale "sweep" not only failed to achieve obvious results, but was also attacked and ambushed by the troops of the Luxi Eighth Route Military Region many times, and the casualties were relatively heavy.

In mid-July 1939, the 114th Division was transferred to Japan for rest, and the Japanese army was forced to stop the "sweep", and all divisions and regiments began to retreat one after another. On July 16, when the 114th Division led by Numata Toshige to retreat eastward from Liaocheng, it was ambushed again, suffering more than 200 casualties. Division commander Numata Tokushige was also shot several times in the chest and abdomen, and his life was in critical condition, and he was immediately taken to the hospital for emergency treatment. On August 12, he finally died in Jinan due to ineffective rescue, and Numata Tokushige became a lieutenant general of the Japanese army who received an order to return to China, but failed to set foot on the return journey.

The reason why Chen Feng named Numata Shigetoku's head was not because he was a lieutenant general in the Japanese Army, but because this bastard was a heinous war demon with his hands stained with the blood of the Chinese people. This bastard sees the weak, invaded people as something to bully and kill at will, and not only fights brutally and ferociously, but also plays with 1 or 3 virgins every day. He raped thousands of young girls in China and wrote 18 diaries in his lifetime, specifically recording in detail the process and experience of playing with women. Almost all the women he raped were indiscriminately killed by him by various cruel means. At the same time, he was also bitten by some girls who would rather die than give in, and his facial features were incomplete and his six roots were mutilated.

Every time he invaded a place, finding and snatching young and beautiful virgins for him became an important task for his staff and guards. Numata Tokushige, who was dying in the Jinan Military Hospital, wrote in his diary a few days after his death: "God has created so many races, so many nationalities, so many beautiful women, and the women I have enjoyed in the past 40 years are only yellow people!" How I wish that the Great Japanese Army would advance north and start a war against the Soviet Union; If I go south to the Pacific and start a war against the United States, Britain, and the Netherlands, then I will have the opportunity to enjoy the different flavors of white beauties, black beauties, and brown beauties. "I still have the sinful dream of playing with 10,000 women by the age of 70.

Such a bastard, Chen Feng doesn't know the way, but if he knows the way, he can't let him go. Besides, Chen Feng took a look just now, this bastard's ranking in the ranking of Japanese generals in the system is not low, with a full 4,200 points, more than 2,000 points higher than the average Japanese lieutenant general, which is equivalent to 5 ordinary Japanese army major generals, in Chen Feng's eyes, Numata Shigetoku is a fat pig to be slaughtered, and he can't let him return to Japan alive no matter what.
