Chapter 6: Sudden Changes in the Storm (13)

Also amazed by this spectacle in the sky were the Japanese army. The Japanese army was also on a retreat mission at this time. The nearly 10-day fierce battle caused an unprecedented shortage of supplies for the Japanese army, which had lost its baggage and supplies, and it had already lost its basic material reserves for fighting a major battle. Fortunately, the Bagua Pass defenders broke through in the early morning of the same day, and after launching a small-scale tentative attack, the Japanese army was pleasantly surprised to find that the enemy was gone, so the large-scale withdrawal of the Japanese army began.

Kazuki Kiyoji and Hashimoto were sitting in the same armored car at this time, hearing the exclamations of the surrounding soldiers, Hashimoto Qun popped his head out of the window and followed the focus of everyone's sight, and said to Kazuki Kiyoji: "Your Excellency Commander, look! I don't know what the hell is going on! ”

Xiangyue Qingji was more knowledgeable, looked at it, and frowned deeply: "Paratroopers, it's paratroopers, there are paratroopers in the Cadet Army." If Ouyang Yun is not removed, sooner or later he will become a big problem for the empire! ”

"Paratroopers? Is it a class of troops parachuted by airplanes? The people of China actually have such advanced troops? ”

"Hashimoto-kun, do you know why I insist on looking for an opportunity to fight the Cadet Army? The growth rate of the Cadet Army is really too fast, and it represents the main direction of the Army's future development. It's a pity that those bigwigs in the military department don't have a clear understanding of this at all, and our chariots are already too far behind compared with the cadet army. There is also artillery, the Cadet Corps has developed self-propelled artillery, but the operation mode of our artillery is still limited to vehicles towing horses. If the empire is defeated by China one day, I dare to conclude that it will be destroyed at the hands of the Cadet Army! ”

"Your Excellency......"

"I'm not worrying about anything! Hashimoto, it was still too late for us to start the war, in the early first half of the year, after the Battle of Tianjin, the student army would be strangled in the cradle, and now, it was too late. ”

"Your Excellency, you are too pessimistic. I heard that in order to understand the siege of Nanjing, the Chinese people had decided to sacrifice the student army. Otherwise, the Cadet Army would not have chosen to withdraw at this time. With their firepower, as long as they can besiege our army for another three days, our army will eventually be dragged down by hunger! ”

Kazuki Kiyoji has been in China for many years, and he is quite familiar with the set of Chinese officialdom, and what he sees the most is the mutual tilt between China's various forces. And it is precisely because of this special situation in China that Japan can bite the meat from this behemoth again and again. If it weren't for the existence of the Cadet Army, North China would have become the bag of the Japanese army. It wasn't once or twice that he had dealt with the Xuebing Army, and he had already seen that this was a military collective that was different from any local Chinese warlord he knew. He didn't think that this time the secret agreement reached between Nanjing and the empire would kill the Xuebing army in one fell swoop—unless, Ouyang Yun died. However, Ouyang Yun had wolf teeth and broadswords by his side, and the combat power shown by these two troops had surpassed that of any Japanese army. As long as the wolf's teeth and the big knife still exist, how could Ouyang Yun die so easily, otherwise, the original Xifengkou, Ono would have already succeeded.

With a faint sigh, Kazuki Kiyoji sat down and said softly: "Hashimoto-kun, maybe it's true that I'm too pessimistic, but who can predict everything in the future?" As those who have been far away from the battlefield, all we can do is pray sincerely for the great cause of His Majesty the Emperor! May Amaterasu bless you! ”

From the ground, more than two dozen white clouds in the sky gradually opened, as small black dots hanging under the white clouds, the paratroopers were really cool. Of course, this is just the feeling of a bystander. As the first batch of people to eat crabs in that era, Liu Dakai and others felt quite bad. I learned a lot of theory, and I also conducted a few lessons on land operations, but these are completely different sets of concepts from the actual operation in the air. Just jumped out of the plane, in the face of the sudden acceleration, everyone felt dizzy and breathless. During the theoretical study, Instructor Tie Linfei explained to everyone the principle of free fall of the human body, and the analogy he made at that time was a shot put. And what Liu Dakai is afraid of now is that he doesn't know if he will fall directly into the dust like a shot put. In that case, even if you don't break your bones, you will definitely be killed.

“10,9,8,7…… 1 - Pull! ”

It is said that Liu Dakai and they can be selected as paratrooper reserves, whether it is physical and mental quality or personal ability, they are all first-class. Before leaving, they also cheered themselves up more than once: I will definitely be able to do it. However, when they really got on the plane, they found that determination and feeling are completely different things, even if they are really confident in themselves, the feeling of not relying on the front and back is really not something that ordinary people can bear.

In strict accordance with the tutorial, pour dozens of numbers, "1" word exit, pull the rope bolt, "Wow!" There was a sound behind him, and a tension suddenly tightened the bond rope on his body, and in a few seconds, the whole person was hoisted, and the speed of descent was reduced all of a sudden.

Not everyone went well, the paratrooper squad of 25 people, as a result, two people's umbrella bags could not be opened smoothly, they really fell into the dust like a lead ball, and paid their young and precious lives for the cause of the cadet army. Another soldier was in a hurry, and was wrapped around his neck with a parachute rope, and although he landed safely, he fell into a long coma because he had been suffocated for too long. As for those who deviated from the scheduled parachuting assembly place, there were even more, that is, Liu Dakai, who also deviated from the full three miles. Fortunately, however, no one landed in the Japanese-controlled area, perhaps thanks to the southeast winds at the time.

With his feet folded together, his toes hit the ground first, and when his numb feet touched the ground, Liu Dakai's heart hanging in his throat finally fell back into his stomach. With a heavy breath, he sat down on the ground and let the parachute completely cover him.

Guo Biao, who came to his senses, immediately eliminated the search and rescue personnel, and half an hour later, including the two sacrificed soldiers, all 25 paratroopers were found, among them, Liu Dakai and Guo Biao also completed the "rendezvous".

After a brief greeting, exchanging the latest information that the two of them had separately, Liu Dakai was brought to Ouyang Yun.

Although he already knew the Tao from Guo Biao's mouth, in the face of Ouyang Yun lying under his nose, Liu Dakai still let out a sad cry: "Military seat! ”

Liu Dakai's airborne landing has huge practical value - since the Dingzhou base is not lost, it can at least ensure that the troops scattered throughout North China still have a assembly point to move in a directional manner; Although Ouyang Yun is still in a coma, as long as he is alive, it will have surreal significance for the regrouping and regeneration of the Cadet Army.

The original withdrawal route of the main force of the Bagua Pass was to assemble in Changping first, and then depending on the situation, it was decided to go to Dingzhou or Liaocheng, Shandong, where Li Tieshu was located. Now, since it is determined that there is nothing wrong with Dingzhou, it is natural to go directly to Dingzhou.

Fortunately, Liu Dakai's paratrooper squad also carried a portable radio station. In this way, because the staff officers of the military department who had the confidential code were not all killed by Yang Tianliang and others, it became possible to restore contact with various units. First of all, he reported the situation to Hou Debang and Fan Xudong in Dingzhou, and then in the name of Ouyang Yun, he telegraphed to the 1st, 2nd, and 3rd Divisions, the Jewish Independent Brigade, the Chahar Armed Forces under Ji Xingwen, as well as Chu Tiange, Li Tieshu, and Liu Zheliang, to inform Zhang Zhen of the mutiny and the current predicament faced by the Xuebing Army, and asked them to disengage from the Japanese army as soon as possible, evacuate from Dingzhou, or stick to the same position, and not trust the Nanjing government, no matter what kind of interface the Nanjing government wants to intervene in local affairs, they must resolutely refuse. Then, he got in touch with the sniper troops of Gu and Zhang and asked them to assemble in Dingzhou, specifically mentioning that if they passed through Shandong or Suiyuan, they must not trust the local garrison.

At about 10 o'clock in the morning, Jiang Shuren in Baiyangdian sent a telegram to the whole country, exposing the Nanjing Government's "treasonous" act of "hating relatives and hating enemies." He said that there was only one member of the Scholar Army, and that it was bound to seek justice for the officers and men of the Scholar Army and the people who had died unjustly in this incident. On the afternoon of the same day, a number of local newspapers in China that had neglected the Nanjing government commented on this telegram, calling on the Nanjing government to deal with the relevant people and others in order to do justice to the patriotic soldiers who were still fighting the bloody war of resistance on the front line.

On the evening of the same day, a certain newspaper in Hong Kong disclosed the contents of the private agreement reached between the Nanjing Government and the Japanese Government, and as many domestic newspapers reprinted it one after another in the following days, it not only put the Nanjing Government in an extremely embarrassing situation, but also made the plight of the Cadet Army known to many Chinese people and aroused widespread sympathy.

Four days later, the U.S. government, far across the ocean, began to ask the Nanjing government for explanations for the Jews who had been "harmed" in this incident, due to pressure from the Jewish Chamber of Commerce.

As a last resort, Lao Chiang had no choice but to let his cronies publicly declare in the newspaper that the so-called relevant agreement between the Nanjing government and the Japanese government was completely false and that someone had deliberately slandered and framed him, and said that the relevant rumor-mongers had been arrested. It is also said that the persecution of the student army is only the behavior of a small number of people in the GMD government, and the government is currently investigating it, striving to find out the initiator as soon as possible, and return the student army to justice and give an explanation to the people. Three days later, seeing that the storm was not stopping, the Nanjing government came up with definite evidence, saying that the so-called incident against the Cadet Army was actually a conspiracy carried out by Zhang Zhen, the former chief of staff of the Cadet Army, in order to seize power, by contacting a few people in the secret service of the Fuxing Society. Of course, their intentions were good, and they wanted to build a strong and unified Republic of China with only one leader and one government, but they chose the wrong time and the wrong way......
