Chapter 309, Syracuse Bloodshed (2)

"Report" The report of Tsukada Tsukashi, chief of staff of the Saigon Southern Army Headquarters, made General Terauchi sit on a chair with his buttocks, the pen in his hand fell on the table, and his mind was blank, the Southern Army had achieved brilliant results in other directions, and it can be said that the Imperial Army swept across Asia, and even the armies of the United States and Britain in Southeast Asia were defeated all the way, and they could not stop the attack of the Imperial Japanese Army at all.

But reports of defeat kept coming from the direction of the Southern Han Dynasty, if it was a simple failure, it was nothing, but every news shocked Terauchi Shouichi, first the 33rd Division was eliminated, it was the annihilation of the whole army, and then the 2nd Division was eliminated, and the two divisions did not even escape from the division commander, which was a heavy blow to the Japanese army.

However, he had just received news that the 21st Division attacking on the northern route was surrounded by the First Army of the Southern Han Dynasty with superior forces from the vicinity of Taiyuan and compressed into an area of less than five kilometers. The ground armored vehicles that lost air protection became the target of the Air Force, and the troops were relatively dense, and the bomber brigade of the Southern Han Air Force carried out a devastating blow to the 21st Division in one night and several sorties.

The helpless Tanaka Hikuichi ordered the 21st Division to retreat, but unfortunately it was only then that they learned why the Southern Han Dynasty abandoned Zhennanguan. Zhennan Pass was built during the Ming Dynasty, and the Qing Dynasty rebuilt it several times in order to prevent the French army, and the most dangerous was not on the Chinese side, but on the Vietnamese side.

Qiao Han was very ghostly, he deliberately gave up Zhennan Pass, just because he didn't want the troops to suffer huge casualties under the attack of Japanese aircraft, artillery, and combat vehicles. Don't defend it, but let the Japanese army in. When the 56th Division pursued into Gaoping, the 21st Division had already entered the Daleishan area, and Zhang Fakui of the Fourth Theater suddenly mobilized his troops to attack Nanning from the west of Nanning, and Nanning, which was empty of troops, could not hold it.

Bai Chongxi personally went to Guilin and commanded the troops to launch attacks on Nanning and Longzhou, and Ma Biao, a Southern Han guerrilla force operating in the 100,000 mountains, recaptured Zhennanguan, completely blocking the possibility of the Japanese army escaping back.

The 21st Division was completely annihilated under Zhennan Pass, and what made Terauchi Shouichi unbearable the most was that in the entire three battles, he was annihilated by the entire division. What frightened the Japanese army was that the devil-like Xue Ru gave an order not to take prisoners, and 60,000 people in three divisions were killed by Xue Ru's Southern Han army.

The only thing that made Terauchi Shouichi feel a little relieved in the whole battle was that the Yamazaki brigade he sent attacked the Southern Han Snow City, Xue Ru's palace was destroyed, Xue Ru was injured, unfortunately Xue Ru did not die, this was originally the biggest shock to the Southern Han, and it should be the time to concentrate on attacking.

He wanted to use his strength to attack again, but Tsukada said: "Your Excellency Commander, we are attacking with no troops, the 56th Division is under siege from Gaoping, and on the Chinese side are the ace powerhouses of the 71st Army and the 74th Army, they are Song Xilian's troops, and it is unknown whether the 56th Division can be withdrawn, if it ......"

Terauchi Shouichi sat down and prepared four divisions, one mixed brigade, and two marines around the Southern Han Dynasty, but unfortunately, up to this time, the navy had not eliminated the Southern Han naval fleet that was running around and not fighting head-on. Without the destruction of this naval fleet, the Japanese army would not be able to conduct landing operations.

Originally, they thought that they could use the air force to destroy the coastal defense forces and cover the capture of the two ports by the marines, but what the Japanese army did not expect was that the Southern Han could accurately know the traces of the Japanese planes, and besides, the Southern Han Army acted too fast and defeated his ground forces without waiting for the air force, the Japanese planes could not gain air supremacy, and the navy could not be eliminated, and the two combat teams of the 2nd Fleet did not dare to carry out landing operations at all. Besides, the Southern Han Navy already has a special * boat, and there are * * aircraft in the sky, which makes the Japanese naval fleet have to have some scruples.

The navy did not work, the army failed, and at this time it wanted to attack but had no troops, and the southern army had more than 400,000 troops, and in the southern Han Dynasty, it lost 60,000 people, and 20,000 or 30,000 people were pinned.

So that Terauchi Shouichi has not fainted, but he has achieved brilliant results in other directions. Tsukada said: "Your Excellency Commander, I think it's better to retreat and defend!" Southeast Asia has been basically occupied, and only one Nanhan has not been resolved, and at this time the truce their navy is weak and cannot break through our blockade, and it is not too late to solve it after the surrounding area is stable and the United States is resolved. And on the Chinese side, there is nothing to be done for the time being. We have succeeded in occupying Yangon, and if we occupy Myitkyina again, I think the commander will also explain it in front of the emperor, and if we fail again......"

Shouichi Terauchi shuddered in his heart and nodded approvingly. Indeed, at this time, the results of Southeast Asia made Terauchi Shou a great shock, but it was only a defeat in the Southern Han Dynasty, and stopping at this time had no effect on himself. If the attack fails again, all the honor you have earned will be lost, so you can take it when you see it.

He nodded and ordered the navy to retreat, put a part of the warships into the direction of Saigon, assist in the attack on other areas, from the Ryukyu Islands to Taiwan to Sanya, the Philippines, and Saigon, complete the naval blockade of the Southern Han, establish air bases in various regions, increase the number of aircraft and compete for air supremacy with the Southern Han.

The 56th Division was ordered to break through and withdraw to Guangzhou, since the Southern Han Dynasty was stable, the occupation of Nanning had lost its strategic significance. A mixed brigade could not stand up to the forces of Bai Chongxi and Zhang Fakui, and ordered Tanaka Kuichi to withdraw from Nanning and retreat to Qinzhou, while the rest of the troops entered the Guangzhou area to blockade the coastal areas of China.

The 55th Division attacked northward, and the Guards Division attacked Myitkyina to completely occupy Burma, Thailand, and Cambodia, encircling the Southern Han and trapping them inside. He reported the plan to the domestic base camp and it was approved.

The Southern Han Dynasty won a comprehensive victory, but there was no joy from top to bottom, except for the celebration of the people of the Southern Han Dynasty, the military and the government were all worried, that was because Xue Ru was still unconscious. The four army commanders and naval and air commanders who rushed back from the front line gathered at the General Staff, Ouyang Sari did not have the pride of the past, and Liu Yuanshan looked sad.

Among these people, of course, Qiao Han was the most qualified to ask: "What the hell is going on with Ouyang?" What are the garrisons doing, and besides, are the Air Force sleeping? ”

Huang Jianxiang said: "This is my mistake, ask for punishment." "Zhang Donglin is a person from the government, originally did not participate in the military conference, but he is the prime minister, and now Xue Ru is unconscious, so Zhang Donglin presided over the work of the whole country as the prime minister, and only then did he participate in this military meeting. He said: "Ladies and gentlemen, this is a special situation, Miss Queen said, we can't underestimate the Japanese, they also have military talents, and all parties are responsible for this mistake, but now is not the time to hold accountable, Her Majesty is so, we must prepare for the worst." ”

Chen Dong glared and said, "What do you mean by Zhang Donglin?" Miss will definitely be fine, I don't believe that there is anything, didn't Dean Huang say that he had invited experts from the United States? ”

Zhang Donglin was calm, Xue Ru's situation was not optimistic, no one expected this at that time, the Japanese army would make such a big sacrifice.

Wei Ming had submitted his resignation, and it was entirely the responsibility of the intelligence department, and there were Japanese spies lurking in Syracuse, who actually set fire to two buildings in the city to indicate targets for the Japanese army, and seven transport planes entered the sky over Syracuse at night. This is a medium-sized transport plane, and a large group of Japanese elite special combat teams was airborne from the sky over Syracuse and thrown directly into the capital of the Southern Han Dynasty. They were well-armed and combat-ready, with only police and garrisons in Syracuse, and the sudden appearance of the situation caught all sides off guard.

The Japanese attack was also very targeted, and there were only more than 100 guards in the palace of the Southern Han Dynasty, which were stubbornly guarded on all sides of the palace wall, but they continued to suffer casualties. Song Yizhang has been injured in many places, gritted his teeth and persevered to the end. He knew that there were quite a few troops around Syracuse, and as long as they held on, they would be fine.

But these Japanese troops are well-equipped, and for this day, the special operations team leader Yamazaki Jun has been preparing for three years, and he wants to avenge the revenge of Qinglong Mountain.

After escaping from there, the special operations theory he proposed was ridiculed by the Japanese army for a while, and no one would believe it anymore, but he tried his best to find a way around.

Finally, it was explained to Shigetoku Kuroda, the head of the Education Director Headquarters, and agreed to him to form a special combat team. After more than a year of training, the Yamazaki Jun Special Combat Team has created incomparable results in several operations one after another, which has been recognized by the Japanese army. Yamazaki Jun can't forget Xue Ru, who is now the queen of the Southern Han Dynasty, is Yamazaki Jun's biggest shame. This time against the Southern Han Army, he took his Yamazaki brigade into Saigon, but Terauchi Shouichi was not optimistic about this kind of battle and did not pay attention to it.

When the 33rd Division was wiped out, a frustrated Terauchi Shouichi agreed to Yamazaki Jun's plan to raid the palace of the Southern Han Dynasty and kill Xue Ru, the snow fox. If Xue Ru died, the Southern Han Dynasty would surely collapse.

This time, the Japanese army paid a very high price, the secret service headquarters used spies who had been dormant for a long time to make internal responses, and the air force dispatched seven medium-sized transport planes, and the planes that could not fly at night were there to be no return. The special combat team went deep into Syracuse, and no matter whether they succeeded or not, they could not return, because there was a military force around Syracuse, not to mention a brigade of Jun Yamazaki, even if it was a division, there was no return.

Jun Yamazaki didn't listen to anyone, he personally led the team to board the plane, after all, Nanhan is not a radar, it is an artificial warning, and nothing can be found at night. What's more, Japanese planes could not fly at night, and they were careless at night. Nanhan did not expect that Japan's technology was also advancing, and the aircraft could already fly at night in a large direction, but it could not be accurate. If someone in Syracuse indicates the target, then you can successfully land in Sexuar, South Han.

When several transport planes appeared over Syracuse, the Nanhan side did not react, and the fighter jets did not take off. Seven planes left seven or eight buildings in ruins, causing chaos in Syracuse. At that time, the garrison command thought that this was an operation of the Japanese Air Force, but it did not know that there were thousands of special combat teams that had landed on the ground in the dark. They also learned the way of fighting the Snow Fox, *armed with pistols, German P40* and Inlut pistols, intensive training made the Yamazaki brigade very combative, those policemen were no match at all, the garrison was defeated, and Yamazaki Jun commanded his brigade to kill the palace.

Xue Ru, who was already resting, was woken up, and when Gigi Xu asked Xue Ru to withdraw from the palace, it was too late, and Xue Ru's guards and palace confidential personnel were surrounded by Yamazaki Jun in the Xizhao Palace. Xue Ru also experienced this for the first time, and when she saw Song Yizhang like that, she smiled and comforted him Don't worry, knowing such a situation, Ouyang Sari, they will soon deploy troops to relieve the siege.

It's easy to say, but more than 100 people against more than 1,000 people, no matter how you look at it. It hadn't been more than twenty minutes since the battle began, and Xue Ru had no choice but to join the battle. With her skills and marksmanship, she did play a big role, and later even the cooks and sanitary staff of the royal palace were involved in the battle. But there were few weapons and ammunition, and he had no experience in fighting, there were fewer and fewer people around Xue Ru, and Song Yizhang, who was bleeding on his arms and head, didn't care about bandaging, and the gun in his hand kept shooting outside, blocking the attackers outside.

Originally, he was only a lieutenant colonel squadron leader, but at this time, he opened his mouth to scold Ouyang Sari, how could he have not had reinforcements for such a long time, and his reaction was so slow. In fact, it was not only Ouyang Sari, the Southern Han was too light on the enemy, and never thought that the Japanese army would do this.

After beating the geese for a lifetime, he finally made the geese squirm. Snow Fox has always done this for the Japanese, and it was finally counterattacked by someone. In the midst of the rage, the General Staff and the Ministry of Defense also did not play a role. They are the supreme command body, and at this time it is the business of the Syracuse Garrison Command to mobilize troops and organize forces.

Unfortunately, the garrison headquarters building was crashed by a plane, and all the people inside were killed, which may also be an accurate and targeted impact by Japanese military intelligence. Xue Ru didn't know what was going on outside, she killed a Japanese soldier who rushed in front with a pistol, felt a shock to her body, a bullet hit her arm, * fell to the ground, Gigi Xu screamed and pounced, blocking in front of Xue Ru, a series of bullets hit Gigi Xu, the girl who had been with Xue Ru for more than a year died on the spot.

Xue Ru's eyes were on fire, and he drew his saber with his other hand, and pulled out his pistol with his injured arm. At this time, the two sides had developed into a close battle, and Yamazaki Jun's face was cold, he knew that it was impossible to leave Nanhan alive no matter what, that is, to die to pull this fox spirit. At this time, more than half of his people were killed and wounded, and the combat effectiveness of the Southern Han Army was indeed not ordinary, and the combat effectiveness of the military and police outside was average, but they were all desperate to attack without fear of death. Jun Yamazaki seemed to hear a large number of footsteps in the distance, he knew that his time was running out, if he couldn't attack the plan failed, how could he be willing. Shoot a rain of bullets with * and rush into the main hall. At this time, there were only a dozen people around Xue Ru, facing Yamazaki Jun who rushed in, all the bullets in Xue Ru's pistol were shot out, and the lights in the palace of the Southern Han Dynasty were still okay, and they could be seen clearly if they were not too bright. Jun Yamazaki didn't know Xue Ru, but this Xue Ru was the only woman here, when a bullet hit it, and at the same time, the bullet in Xue Ru's pistol also shot out.

The two fell at the same time, Xue Ru immediately got up, and the knife in his hand pointed at Yamazaki Jun, who instinctively shouted: "Xue Ru, I let you go to hell with me." ”

Xue Ru didn't know who this person was, but if he knew himself, he must be someone who knew himself, and he must be a devil in a Japanese military uniform: "Who are you?" ”

"Haha, do you remember Jun Yamazaki in Qinglong Mountain?" Yamazaki Jun said, pulled the trigger again, but no bullet came out, the bullet was finished, he wanted to pull out the pistol, but Xue Ru would not give him time, the war knife in his hand flew out, penetrated from Yamazaki Jun's chest, and when Yamazaki Jun fell, the pistol was also pulled out, and a bullet hit Xue Ru's chest.

The two of them fell down again, there was no movement, they were not dead, and Song Yizhang, who was seriously injured, let out a miserable angry shout: "Miss" He wanted to crawl towards Xue Ru, but he spurted out a mouthful of blood and fainted. At this time, fierce gunfire rang out outside, and the temporarily concentrated troops under the command of the police force and Ouyang Sari finally came in.

A smile appeared at the corner of Xue Ru's mouth, Yamazaki Jun, that was the special warfare expert who he defeated when he was in Qinglong Mountain. The reinforcements are only here now, it's really the same as in the movie, they all come at the end of the battle, and they are all here to clean up the mess, it seems that the Southern Han is the same!

She wanted to sit up, but she couldn't, her body sank down, and it felt like a bottomless abyss. I didn't expect that I would die at this time, it's a pity, I didn't hold out until the victory of the Anti-Japanese War, Xue Ru closed her eyes.

The fighters who rushed in were really gorgeous, the high-level leaders of the Southern Han Dynasty, including the Minister of Defense, had become soldiers, and the Japanese special combat team was very strong, and these people were no longer able to attack for a while when they rushed to the battlefield. When they rushed in and saw Xue Ru lying on the ground, Ouyang Sari rushed over and picked up Xue Ru and shouted, "Doctor, doctor, hurry!" ”

The results of the inventory showed that there were three hundred and ten people in the palace, only more than fifty people were alive, one hundred and twenty people in the guards, including Song Yizhang, only five survived, or seriously injured, and all the others were killed in battle, it can be said that more than 1,000 people in the palace caused heavy losses to the Southern Han Dynasty, and Xue Ru was hit by four bullets and his life was in danger of being unconscious.

At this time, although the matter was over and Japan also withdrew its troops, the military and political sides of the Southern Han Dynasty did not know what to do because of Xue Ru's sudden injury?
