Chapter 22: Surprise Attack on the Yasukuni Army (1)
Zhu Baohua, commander of the Second Regiment of the Yasukuo Army, was a regimental commander of the 58th Army of the former Nationalist Army, and of course he was a local unit in Hebei, which belonged to the Anti-Japanese Allied Army at that time. After Ji Hongchang was killed, Zhu Baohua was dismissed, which made him very angry.
The fucking anti-Japanese war was guilty, and he was angry that he gathered his subordinates who were loyal to him, and set himself up as the king in the Qian'an generation, and was soon found by the Japanese. He had a small territory and did not dare to attack the 29th Army, and the situation was very difficult, and the Japanese promised to support him as long as he was independent, and gave him military salaries, weapons and ammunition.
Zhu Baohua, who was already disheartened by the war, agreed to the conditions of the Japanese. He established the North China Autonomous Army and appointed himself commander, and with the outbreak of the Lugou Bridge Anti-Japanese War, the number of his troops began to increase.
The Kwantung Army Command and the North China Autonomous Government began to let him expand his troops, and with the expansion of the territory, the captured Nationalist troops in various places, as long as they agreed to surrender, were grouped together, and his troops were reduced to a regiment and incorporated into the Yasukuni Army.
From passive surrender to active participation, in just a few months, Zhu Baohua became an out-and-out traitor, and he could no longer escape the control of the Japanese. From the time he refused Feng Yuxiang's summons, Zhu Baohua knew that there was no turning back and he could only go down with the Japanese. Many people from the 29th Army and troops of the Northwest Army also swore to kill him.
This time, Zhu Baohua is even more determined to be a traitor, and he also has his own reasons. You were sorry for me first, and now you are calling me a traitor, what is wrong with a traitor? Better off than you guys.
Since he is more loyal, among all the Yasukuni Army formed by the Japanese army, Zhu Baohua's regiment is the most loyal to the Japanese except for the puppet Manchukuo army. Therefore, he was transferred to the southern Jiangsu region to maintain law and order in the occupied areas and assist the imperial army in attacking.
Matsui Ishone carried out a bloody deterrence operation, not the soft policy of the Kwantung Army. Therefore, they look down on the puppet army units with very low combat effectiveness and are like garbage, and they are extremely distrustful, and they are used as baggage soldiers in the back.
Chief of Staff Iihiromori accepted the suggestion of Deputy Chief of Staff Uemura Toshimichi Daisa to do something inconvenient for the Japanese. After all, Shanghai is an international metropolis with many concessions and foreign institutions.
The League of Nations was about to convene a nine-nation meeting to vote on Japan's dispatch of troops to China. Although Japan doesn't care, it doesn't want Britain and the United States and other countries to intervene, so it still has to pay attention to some influences. In the case of some local popular resistance groups, it is not possible to rely on the secret services alone.
In order to justify itself, the puppet Manchukuo army cannot be allowed to intervene, and all this is just left to the Yasukuni army to complete. On the one hand, the Japanese secret services are looking for pro-Japanese people in Shanghai, and on the other hand, they are using the Yasukuni Army to recruit local armed forces and form traitor self-defense units, and at the same time, they are also establishing maintenance associations in the occupied areas to support the traitor regime in order to ensure the safety of the supply lines behind.
The main thing is to raise food and military expenses for the Japanese army in the rich areas of Jiangnan, after all, it is still difficult to transport from the country. It was these arrangements that when the Japanese army achieved an initial victory and the Nationalist army retreated to the south of Yunzaobang, one Yasukuni Army Brigade and two Manchukuo Brigades entered these areas, and Zhu Baohua's regiment was in Yangjiaji.
That's it, Xue Ru's troops fell behind, and they didn't run into the Japanese troops, but they ran into the Yasukuni Army.
After successfully solving a company of puppet troops, after knowing their plan from the puppet army's mouth, Xue Ru, as a person from later generations, of course knew the devil's tricks.
In fact, the Japanese are hateful, these traitors are even more hateful, the enemy has always been hostile, and it is normal for both sides to hate each other. The Japanese want to destroy and annex China, and how many people like Xue Ru want to destroy Japan.
As two countries, two peoples, this is inevitable. A mountain cannot tolerate two tigers, and a sea cannot tolerate two dragons. China and Japan can only have one power, and Asia can only dominate one, not two.
At this point, those who have a little brain in later generations will understand that what peaceful coexistence, what common development, friendship and reciprocity, that is all brain-dead ideas. In terms of Japanese nature, they can't let him get up, so they can only watch like a dog, with a rope, and strictly guard.
This innate hatred is destined to be irreconcilable, so the hatred for Japan is an innate hatred. But traitors are even more hated, they are betrayals, they are betrayals, a person who doesn't even want his ancestors, has no shame, and betrays his soul and country, he should be killed.
If it weren't for these traitors and not so many soft bones, Japan would definitely not have been able to survive in China for eight years. Think of the puppet government in Nanjing, think of the puppet Manchukuo, look at the autonomous government of North China. Millions of puppet soldiers, those puppet officials who maintain the association. This is the reason why a mere million Japanese were able to rule China with a population of hundreds of millions for eight or nine years.
So deep down, Xue Ru hates traitors even more, which is why she plans to deal with this Yasukuni Army first. No matter what aspect she says, she will not let go of this first regiment of the Yasukuni Army.
However, she only has more than 70 people, and if she wants to eliminate more than 1,000 troops of a regiment, even if the combat effectiveness of the puppet army is rubbish, it will not be solved in a short time. As long as there is a delay, the third and second regiments around will converge. Seventy people want to fight against more than five thousand, what is that not a joke?
Xue Ru said that when the Yasukuni Army was settled, everyone thought it was impossible. But Xue Ru has his own way, this kind of soft-boned army, as long as he destroys his commander, there is only a plate of loose sand left, and he can deal with it no matter what. So it was decided to do the biggest decapitation operation.
There is also a reason why Zhu Baohua set up the regiment headquarters in Yangjiaji, tens of thousands of troops fought around Luodian for two months, and tens of thousands of aircraft, artillery, chariots, and infantry fell here, how could a decent town exist.
Even a small town of two or three square kilometers like Luodian has been destroyed, so the larger places are basically in ruins.
Yangjiaji, a small town, is not bad, and there is a circle of two or three meters high earthen walls, and the area is not small. The Chinese army did not hold this place, it was captured by the Japanese army and did not take it back, the building was still intact, and a large number of people gathered. Zhu Baohua set this place as his headquarters.
Gu Village, where Yang Jiaji is forward, is the two wings under the command of the 10th Brigade of the 11th Division of the Japanese Army. Prepare to cross Yunzaobang to attack Dachang Miaoxing, cut off the Songhu Railway, cover the 3rd Division's attack on downtown Shanghai, and join the Japanese army in Zhabei.
Zhu Baohua was behind the Japanese army, and the Chinese troops had withdrawn to the south of Yunzaobang, and he thought he was safe. In the past few days, troops have been sent everywhere, looting on a large scale, and supplying materials to the front line, of course, Zhu Baohua has made a fortune personally.
He thought he was safe, but he didn't even build a defensive position, and a regiment guarded it on all sides. The regimental headquarters was placed in the middle, and a large place for the storage of materials was prepared, which was guarded on all sides by a battalion, a company of the brigade headquarters, and two other companies to defend the warehouse.
Humming a little song, he looked at the antique in his hand proudly. This is porcelain produced in the official kiln of the Song Dynasty, and it can basically be sold at a good price. However, he could not sell it, and heard that the commander of the 11th Division, Yamamuro Munetake, was very fond of Chinese porcelain. If you send something like this, you will be in Shanghai in the future, how much do you want?
Looking at the things sent by the companies and battalions today, looking at the grain that is constantly accumulating, I thought that tomorrow I would send these grains to Gu Village and hand them over to Major General Naojiro Amaya, the commander of the 10th Brigade, and I would definitely be praised.
Zhu Baohua really wanted to capture Shanghai as soon as possible, and he hadn't been to Shanghai yet. I heard that the beauty of the southern country is very Western, and I haven't seen it yet, so I must take a good look at it.
Thinking about it this way, I was not interested in the woman sent by the adjutant. Although he looks good, but that coarse cotton coat makes him unappetizing, which is as unpromising as the Japanese consultant Taro Miyamoto, and when he sees the flower girl, he can't walk.
After looking at the things in the house for a while, I will ask my subordinates to send these things to Tianjin tomorrow, or put them in my own home to grasp. Although Shanghai is good, it is not a hometown. Although the woman is not too good-looking, she also has fine skin and tender meat, and she still looks like a Jiangnan girl. Listening to adjutant Lin Zengyun, she is still a yellow flower girl who has not budded.
Soon after, a woman's cry came from Zhu Baohua's room, which was really exciting. Zhu Baohua didn't care about this, he was very satisfied, he dropped the girl who was crying with red eyes and stared at the crying girl in the dim room, and fell down to rest.
Just when Zhu Baohua and Miyamoto Taro vented them*, Xue Ru led his special combat team to finally start acting. The Yasukuni Army, which relaxed its vigilance, only left the sentries standing guard, and the other soldiers went to sleep. In winter, Jiangnan is not cold, but the night is also very cold.
Only the guards were walking back and forth very dissatisfied. There is no gate of the earthen wall, but a fence blocks the open gate. On both sides of the gate are two watchtowers, one on one side of which is standing guard, and is hiding inside to avoid the wind. The northern suburbs of Shanghai, close to the Yangtze River and the seaside, are still very windy at night in winter.
Xiao Yong waved his hand, and two people immediately rushed out behind him and touched the watchtower. This is the time of the next moon, the sky is dark, the wind blows the wild grass, covering up the sound, the two people silently clinging to the watchtower,
This kind of watchtower is a small house made of wooden planks, somewhat like a thatched house. Inside there was a stool, in which the sentry sit, dozing.
The gate of the fence is not wide, it is only a dozen meters wide. The two soldiers gestured, drew their bayonets, and pounced at the same time.
One hand covers the sentry's mouth, and the other bayonet stabs in. There were two pops, and the sentry tilted his head and no longer made a sound. The two men came out and gesticulated into the distance, and soon the two men ran over and dragged the two bodies out, took off their clothes and changed them. Sneak out and remove the fence.
The patrol sentry soldier inside asked, "Tian Gouzi, what are you doing?" ”
It was Liu Yuanshan of the reconnaissance team who came in, and he made a painful voice and said, "Fucking stomach trouble." ”
Perhaps it was the voice that didn't arouse their suspicions, and the patrolling sentry said, "You're just useless, and eat good stuff." ”
When he saw how this field dog came over, he said, "Stay away, don't smoke me." ”
But before he could finish speaking, he saw a bright bayonet stabbed in the chest. He tried to scream, but his mouth was covered and his body knocked out.
In the blink of an eye, the two swimming whistles were also killed. Xue Ru, who was in the distance, received a signal and whispered: "Xiao Yong, immediately surround the brigade headquarters after entering, don't alarm anyone, if you are discovered, immediately rush to the south, kill from the south and retreat in the direction of Yunzaobang." ”
"Yes" At this time, Xiao Yong will not quarrel, there is a regiment stationed here, and the strength of three battalions will be surrounded if it is slow. Xue Ru said: "Captain Lai, execute as planned." ”
Everyone rushed into town. According to the information provided by the company commander of the puppet army, he immediately ran to the regimental headquarters in the central location. It's a nice quadrangle. There are also two guards at the door. Lai Changwen waved his head, and the two soldiers in Yasukuni Army uniforms strode to the door with bayonets on their backs in one hand.
There are two lanterns in front of the gate, so you can see them clearly when you get closer. As soon as he saw that it was his own clothes, he asked, "Stop, what's the matter?" ”
Wang Qiang was originally from the First Brigade of the Yasukuni Army, and he was still familiar with the situation here, so he opened his mouth and said: "The Third Company was attacked by the National Army, and I want to report it." ”
Standing guard was startled when he heard it, he was just a standing guard and wanted to say wait for me to report, but Wang Qiang had already walked up the steps and came to him. Another soldier also walked towards the other sentry.
There is a guard at the door, and the gate of the brigade headquarters is closed at night. The two soldiers moved almost at the same time, and the one standing guard never imagined that his own people would attack, and before he could react, the bayonet stabbed into his body, and he fell down with an ah-ah sound from his mouth. Wang Qiang stepped forward and knocked on the door.
The soldier on duty inside asked, "What's the matter?" ”
He thought it was someone standing guard outside. Wang Qiang said: "I am from the third company, and our company commander has important things to report to the regiment commander. ”
The squad leader on duty muttered, "What the fuck is it that you can't say tomorrow?" ”
But this is the army, and no one dares to delay, and reluctantly opens the door. But when he opened the door, he saw three or four bayonets piercing him in the chest at the same time.
Lai Changwen said: "Occupy the regiment headquarters and solve it quietly" The three captains led their men to draw their bayonets and pounced on the surrounding rooms. According to intelligence, there was only one platoon in the compound of this regimental headquarters, and the guard company was on the left and right to protect it.
This is also the reason why Xue Ru did not dare to do it outside, once he entered this courtyard, as soon as the gate was closed, the two people standing guard outside the door could do whatever they wanted, and Lai Changwen ordered to occupy the entire regiment headquarters.
At this time, they can't be merciful, once exposed, they can't rush out at all. When a soldier asked, he immediately knew who was here. Listening to the soldier's trembling answer, Xue Ru felt that God really helped me!
