Chapter 294: The Tragedy in Shantouzi Village

Half an hour later, in the temporary headquarters of the South China Front Army in Dupu Township, Cangnan County, Matsui Shigen got the Yushan battle report, looking at the number "fifteen thousand" printed in thick ink on the telegram, the old devil's heart trembled, closed his eyes and calculated silently, and then, the hands holding the telegram trembled - first the 11th Army was annihilated 150,000 in Jiangxi, and now, the South China Front Army and the 5th Army were annihilated by 50,000, and it has not been half a month since the Fujian and Guangdong Raiders started, and 200,000 soldiers have died in the empire, and how many people have been killed in the Xuebing Army? Lakh? Fifty thousand? Thirty thousand? Even if it is 100,000, this ratio is not something that the current empire can afford. Gu Shoufu, this bastard, let him grasp the rhythm of the attack, don't use the strong one, okay, 12,000 officers and soldiers are gone......

Matsui Ishine was cursing Tani Toshio, but the latter seemed to have stepped out of the shadow of last night's defeat and became ambitious again - "Ichiro Qiane has arrived in the Southern Courtyard?" Very good, tell him to act according to the plan! "What did Yokoyama say? Very well, let them wait for our news! ”

Nanyuan Township is located in the north of Fuding City, and the straight-line distance from Fuding City is about 45 kilometers. Twelve kilometers to the north of the South Courtyard is Taishun County, another defensive stronghold of the Xuebing Army on the border of Fujian and Zhejiang. The terrain around Taishun is steep, easy to defend and difficult to attack, so Jiang Guangnai only put a regiment of guard troops here, and then a self-defense brigade assembled in several nearby villages and towns.

Shantouzi Village, two kilometers east of Nanyuan Township, because of the first day of the first lunar month, at about eight o'clock, the mountain people began to visit their homes to worship the New Year according to the custom. After the army entered Fujian, the changes brought to Fujian were enormous, and even the remote mountainous areas enjoyed this dividend. Life has improved, and there are more smiles on people's faces, although there is a war on the front line, and although they are also worried about the safety of their own children in the army, but life must go on, at least, it is still appropriate to give the children a candy and a smile.

While the ordinary mountain village is basking in the joyful atmosphere of the New Year, the simple mountain people are unaware that a gang of robbers is watching them.

This gang of robbers is none other than Qian Jiang Ichiro and his subordinates in Gu Shoufu's mouth. Qian Jiang Ichiro is less than thirty years old, with a medium build, and the mung bean eyes on his face are his biggest feature. At this moment, he was hiding under a bush on the only mountain road leading from Shantouzai Village to Nanyuan Township, carefully observing Shantouzai Village with a telescope. On his side, the same is a young man. In the mountains behind the two, there were more than 900 devils with loaded guns and ammunition.

After observing for five minutes, Qian Jiang Ichiro put away the binoculars and said to Shao Zuo beside him: "Motoshima-kun, let's take this village!" I will bring my men down, and here you will lie in ambush. ”

The full name of the island is Hongsong, and he nodded when he heard this.

The reason why Gu Shoufu sent Qianjiang Ichiro and them from Shuitou Township to sneak into Nanyuan Township over the mountains and mountains was that the original intention was to let Qianjiang Ichiro and them make a detour to Taishun to sneak attack the depth of the Xuebing Army, so that the Fuding defenders could not take care of the front and back. When necessary, the advance team under the personal command of Qian Jiangichiro will also be responsible for guiding the strategic bombing targets for the air force. It's just that he seriously underestimated the strength of the Fuding Xuebing Army, and he didn't know enough about the terrain around Taishun. Before the Qianjiang Department could enter the Taishun Territory, the Imamura Katsuji Department on the Guanmei Front suffered a devastating blow, and his plan ended without a problem.

The New Year's strategy failed miserably, which made Gu Shoufu angry, he was originally a wolf-hearted guy, often unscrupulous to achieve the goal, suffered such a big loss, and had nowhere to vent his resentment, so he decided not to do it endlessly, and simply came to a desperate plan. After learning that Qianjiang Yilang's troops had successfully infiltrated the depth of the Cadet Army, he telegraphed them to burn, kill and loot at will, and to attack the morale of the Cadet Army by all means.

When Qianjiang Ichiro led his troops to infiltrate Taishun, dozens of devils fell off the cliff and died, which also made them angry. Gu Shoufu's order is just right for these devils. As a result, Shantouzi Village became the first mountain village to be slaughtered by these devils.

The so-called "Fujian-breaking advance team" led by Qian Jiang Ichiro was a fanatical militant personally named and singled out by Gu Shoufu, and the ferocity was well-known among the 6th Division. Two of them are Toshiaki Mukai and Takeshi Noda, who were once featured in Japanese newspapers because of the "100 Slash" competition in Suzhou.

The arrival of two butterflies, Ouyang Yun and Koizumi Toshiichiro, changed a lot of things in this time and space, and the fate of Toshiaki Mukai and Takeshi Noda also changed because of it, and the two murderers were able to continue to stay in the army, and they had dozens of more lives of Chinese soldiers and civilians in their hands. And after they learned that they were selected by Gu Shoufu to join the "Breaking Fujian Stand Team", they even made a public bet that they would carry out the killing competition to the end and change "100 people to behead" to "1,000 people to be killed". When the two of them launched the "100 Beheading" competition in Suzhou, the sabers in their hands that had killed people were all curled. This time, when they learned that there was an opportunity to enter the hinterland of the Cadet Army to slaughter Chinese civilians, the two of them specially borrowed a few sabers from others, and each brought four sabers.

Qian Jiang Yilang with more than 30 subordinates rushed into Shantouzi Village with a fierce momentum, without saying a word, they slaughtered and poked up, they killed people when they saw them, and set fire to houses when they saw them, and they were poor for more than 300 old and young women and widows in Shantouzi Village, they were still enjoying the joy of the Spring Festival one moment, and the next moment they fell into a gloomy hell. All the young and middle-aged people in Shantouzai Village have direct contact with the Cadet Army, and half of them are Self-Defense Members, and they leave their homes early in the morning to gather in the village. Others were called up or went to the front on their own initiative to help the cadets build fortifications or work as porters, and no more than six remained in the village. These six people were subjected to the most cruel treatment of the little devils, and three of them died under the knife of Toshiaki Mukai. After the arrival of the Spark Brigade, the concept of protecting the family and defending the country was instilled in the mountain people, so whether it was an old man or a woman in Shantouzi Village, when facing the butcher's knife of the devil one by one, although he was terrified, he still resisted, hoping to win a glimmer of life for the children.

The devils obviously understood their psychology, and at first they only killed and injured them, and then mutilated those children in front of them, and their methods were outrageously cruel, and their hideous faces were undoubtedly terrifying.

The brutal killing lasted for more than 40 minutes, and when more than 300 members of the Nanyuan Township Self-Defense Brigade rushed over, what they saw was a scene even more miserable than hell.

"Little devil! Lao Tzu** ancestors for eight generations! Nandong, the captain of the Southern Courtyard Self-Defense Brigade, was stunned and cried out to the sky. And before he could shout, the "da-da-da" crooked handle machine gun gunfire rang out, and the devils of the Motoshima brigade ambushed on the mountain opened fire.

Grief and anger made the self-defense members of the Self-Defense Brigade of the Southern Courtyard lose their minds, and when they heard the gunshots, they realized that it was the evil of these devils, and they rushed towards the devils in a crowd, but they happened to fall into the trap of the little devils.

In just ten minutes, the battle was over. The 326 members of the Nanyuan Self-Defense Brigade, including the captain Nandong, were all killed, and in the monstrous fire in Shantouzi Village, the only defense force in Nanyuan Township was cleared by the Japanese army.
