Chapter 112: Go out and step on it
"Boom!" A grenade exploded about ten meters away from Xu Zhi, two cadets were blown up on the spot, three cadets were wounded, and a burst of devils in the car formation actually caused huge casualties to the officers and soldiers of the first division, two brigades and one regiment, and took the lives of at least thirty cadets, which made Xu Zhi calm down, and he shouted: "Withdraw!" Withdraw first! β
On the hills, Chu Tiange suddenly noticed that Wang Dan's face had become solemn, and asked, "How is it?" β
Wang Dan: "The little devils surrounded the car formation, it got hard, and it was not easy to fight!" β
"Help me up!"
The two guards helped Chu Tiange up, and Wang Dan handed him the binoculars. Chu Tiange took it and raised it in front of him to look at the battlefield of about 800 meters, his brows furrowed slightly, and then he pulled back the camera, looked at his own troops, and said, "Scared, I also captured a lot of prisoners." β
"Commander, it's not easy to fight!" Xiong Tiandao leaned against a tree and said.
Chu Tiange thought for a while and said, "Blow the retreat!" β
"Ah, this is gone?"
"The rest of the devils are all wounded soldiers, so let the old devils continue to worry."
"What about those captives? Do you want to let Commander Xu enforce battlefield discipline? β
"Let's take it back, the commander-in-chief will let some devil prisoners go back, just right."
The retreat horn sounded, and Xu Zhi, who was studying countermeasures with Zhang Dejun and them, listened to it, and at first thought that he had heard it wrong. Zhang Dejun: "No, right? Victory is in sight! β
Xu Zhi was also very skeptical. The retreat call continued to sound, and he frowned and said, "Then retreat." Did the Major General deal with it? β
"The head, the uniform, and the command knife are all off. And that Shaozuo also got it down! The chief of staff of the first regiment, Man Red Wolf, said, and asked, "What about these captives?" β
"Bring it back first, if you want to enforce battlefield discipline, then you have to order the commander. Bring all the dead and wounded brothers, loot! Remove! β
"Withdraw!"
"What? Remove? Make no mistake! The "bandits" talked a lot, but no one dared to disobey the order. After dozens of grenades shot out and suppressed the devil's firepower, the cadets picked up their dead and wounded comrades, and then retreated like a tide.
"The people of China have withdrawn!" There were devils cheering. Hattori saw this scene, but he didn't have the slightest joy. The death of the commander of the Araki Brigade was a heavy blow to the 33rd Division; The sudden appearance of the Cadet Army on the battlefield in Jiangxi was even worse news for the 33rd Division. If the Cadet Army is a large-scale dispatch this time, then the prospects of the 33rd Division will be quite worrisome.
Chu Tiange's retreat order was issued in a timely manner, and it was only about a quarter of an hour after they withdrew from the battlefield that the devils of the two brigades rushed to the battlefield under the leadership of a Nakasa named Sasaki Renjiang.
Speaking of which, it was Chu Tiange's luck. Because many of the 33rd Division's military cards were lost in the confrontation with Xue Yue's Ninth War Zone, the devils of these two brigades could only come to support on foot. Although under Sasaki's urging, the devils of these two brigades ran like dogs, but they still missed the best time for rescue.
Hearing that Major General Naoki Araki was killed, and even his head was taken away by the Cadet Army, and Kenri Matsumoto was also killed in battle, and more than forty soldiers surrendered to the Shina people, Sasaki was shocked and angry, and sat on the ground for a long time before returning to normal. After returning to normal, he remembered a more serious problem and asked Hattori: "Are you sure that the enemy is a cadet?" β
Hattori replied affirmatively, "Yes!" β
"The student army has come to Jiangxi? Nanchang is what they occupied? Eight grids, Fujino Gang, this bastard, he didn't even send a useful message? β
The commander of the Japanese forces stationed in Nanchang was Fujino Steel, and Sasaki believes that it was Fujino's failure to report this situation to the headquarters in time that led to the attack on Matsumoto's brigade and the death of Major General Araki. He didn't want to think about it, as a dead man, how could he report to the headquarters?
That night, the identity of the major general who was killed was confirmed, and it was the commander of the 33rd Brigade under the 33rd Division, Naoki Araki. After receiving the notice, the major media in Guangzhou immediately published and printed overnight and vigorously reported it, and soon the killing of a Japanese major general by the Cadet Army spread far and wide and made headlines in many newspapers across the country.
The next day, Xue Yue, the commander of the Ninth Theater who was commanding the Gao'an Raiders in Shanggao County, heard this, and couldn't help but laugh and scold his subordinates: "This Ouyang Yun is really good at seizing opportunities, we have worked hard here to fight a vicious battle with the 33rd Division for more than a week, and we only killed more than 3,000 devils and killed a few Shaozuo." It's good that he can take out a major general by pulling a team out! Did you say this kid went out and stepped on shit? β
Yu Jishi, the commander of the 74th Army, who was in charge of the main attack on Gao'an, was on the side, he and Ouyang Yun had crossed paths in Madang, and benefited a lot, and said with a smile: "I know General Ouyang a little bit about this person, if he doesn't make a move, he will definitely make a splash." He must have a complete intelligence network in Jiangxi, and he has come here to pick up leaks. Commander, if we are going to encircle and annihilate the 33rd Division, this is an opportunity. It's just that I don't know how big the scale of the student army that entered Jiangxi this time is. Would you like to contact him? β
Yu Jishi was resolute in resisting Japan, and he had a good impression of Ouyang Yun, so he only thought about it from the good side. Xue Yue's subordinates are not all people like him. As soon as he finished speaking, Luo Zhuoying, commander of the 19th Group Army, raised an objection: "This Ouyang Yun is too hateful, we are working hard here, he is good, and he will come out to pick up the leak without saying hello." Okay, now that we have a record and a reputation, where are the commanders and our Ninth War Zone? β
This provocative meaning is too strong, Yu Jishi couldn't listen to it anymore, and retorted: "Whether it's picking up leaks or gaining fame, as long as you really fight devils, it is a good thing for the benefit of the country and the people, and it is worth befriending." Commander Xue is not a person with a small belly, do you think that everyone is like you, and they have to have benefits to make a move? β
Luo Zhuoying was furious and replied with a red face: "What do you mean by Yu Jishi?" Am I just talking about things? And you humiliate me so much?! Isn't it because I didn't rescue you during the Battle of Songhu? But at that time, our 18th Army was also in a bitter battleβ"
Luo Zhuoying and Yu Jishi did not deal with each other, it originated from this public case during the Battle of Songhu, Xue Yue saw this and hurriedly played a round, interrupted Luo Zhuoying and said: "Okay, okay, don't quarrel, with this energy, let's think about how to take Gao'an and solve the 33rd Division." Liangzhen (Yu Jishi's character), your proposal has a certain degree of feasibility. I'll leave it to you to get in touch with the Cadet Army. You Qing (Luo Zhuoying's character), you also think about it carefully, if the Cadet Army cuts off the back road of the 33rd Division and helps us intercept the main force of the Japanese 11th Army that may come to support Gao'an, how long will it take us to finish destroying the devils. After all, the Cadet Army is also a Chinese army, and if it insists on resisting Japan, it is a friendly army, and there is no doubt about this. Others also expressed their opinions, and if there are any good ideas, if you really want to completely annihilate the 33rd Division, your medal is indispensable. β
