Chapter 187: Insulting the Enemy

After the gunfire in Shuocheng City completely stopped, Zhang Dabiao, escorted by the guards, entered the temporary wing headquarters of the 73rd Wing of the Devil who had been bombed into ruins.

"Battalion commander!"

Liu Ziming, the commander of the first company, pointed to the wing headquarters of the 73rd Infantry Wing of the Devil that was blown into ruins, and said: "Preliminary inspection, we have found Kenzaburo Tabe, the commander of the 73rd Infantry Wing of the Devil who was killed. ”。

"Right there!"

As he spoke, Liu Ziming pointed to the corner of the 73rd Wing Headquarters of the Devil that was blown into ruins, and said to Zhang Dabiao.

"Really!"

Zhang Dabiao walked over and squatted down to take a look, only to see one of the corpses of the devils who had been blown into a blur of flesh and blood, and the military rank mark on the collar of his shirt was the rank of Dazuo.

And the rank of Dazuo is generally only available to high-ranking officers at the level of wing commander.

That is to say, the devil officer who is killed in the current bombing is Kenzaburo Tabe!

"Tell the brothers to speed up and clean up the battlefield."

Zhang Dabiao confirmed that the devil who was killed by the bomb was Kenzaburo Tabe, so he didn't bother to continue to pay attention to it, he led his troops to ambush and kill a devil prince Fushimi Palace Hirohiko, Looking at it this way, a devil officer at the level of a wing captain is not worth Zhang Dabiao's excitement now.

"Understood, battalion commander."

Liu Ziming, the commander of the first company, nodded and said.

Zhang Dabiao then called the signal soldiers accompanying the army and ordered: "Send a report to the regiment commander that we will capture Shuocheng again and annihilate the remnants of the 2nd Infantry Brigade under the 73rd Infantry Wing of the 7th Brigade of the Japanese Army that remained in Shuocheng." ”。

"The 73rd Infantry Wing Commander Tabe Kenzaburo Osa, and his chief of staff, Izumi Tengtaro Shaosa, are waiting for many officers, and the battlefield in the city is currently being cleaned up in a hurry, please instruct the regiment commander."

The communications soldier memorized the content in his heart, and then stood up and saluted: "Yes, battalion commander." Then he immediately walked to the side and turned on the radio to send an announcement on the spot.

Zhang Dabiao then commanded the three companies under his command to seize the time to clean up the battlefield.

After the Japanese 7th Brigade rushed to Shuocheng in accordance with Shinozuka Yoshinan's transfer order, the main force of its brigade westward rushed to Qingzhou City with a large amount of grain, grass and ammunition to reinforce Nakamura Zhenxiong.

However, the large amount of grain and ammunition brought by the 7th Brigade with the army is still partially still in Shuocheng.

And even Kenzaburo Tabe didn't expect that Shuocheng would lose again so quickly.

Therefore, it was too late to destroy the large amount of grain, grass and ammunition placed in the city.

Therefore, after the battle, Zhang Dabiao received a report that he found a large amount of grain, grass and ammunition temporarily stored in several warehouses.

"Battalion commander, there are several warehouses, there are a lot of grain, grass and ammunition, it is estimated that the 7th Brigade of the devil brought it with the army."

It was Lin Yuxuan, the commander of the third company, who found a large amount of grain, grass and ammunition in several warehouses in the city, who immediately rushed to report to Zhang Dabiao and asked, "What now?" ”。

"It's a bit much, battalion commander, the main force of the 15th Brigade of the little devil has gone south, and these things look like a lot, but we can't keep it after the 15th Brigade of the devil kills under Shuocheng City!"

When Zhang Dabiao heard this, he thought about it, and after pondering, he said, "This is easy to do." ”。

"You command the third company, and remove all the grain, grass, ammunition and other materials that the devils in Shuocheng did not bring to Qingzhou City."

Lin Yuxuan, the commander of the third company, didn't come back to his senses for a while, and said, "Where to move?" ”。

"You kid forgot?"

Zhang Dabiao thought for a while, pointed to the north, and said, "Dulong Village!" ”。

"Oops, battalion commander, I almost forgot!"

Lin Yuxuan smiled and said embarrassedly: "Understood, battalion commander!" ”。

"The 15th Brigade of the Devil is going to rush to Shuocheng from Hanjiapo, it is only half past seven now, and the 15th Brigade of the Devil will be able to arrive in Shuocheng at nine o'clock in the evening at the earliest."

Zhang Dabiao said: "There is time to move the seizures in the city, but it is also necessary to speed up. ”。

"Even if we want to defend Shuocheng, cut off the rear road of Nakamura Zhenxiong's army outside Qingzhou City, and face the more than 6,000 people and horses of the 15th Brigade of the devil who will kill Shuocheng next, we will definitely not be able to withstand it!"

"The seized materials need to be moved to Dulong Village now! Otherwise, it would be a pity not to have the seized supplies in the city. Fortunately, there was enough time for us to move the seizures from the city. ”

Lin Yuxuan, the commander of the third company, nodded and said, "Understood, battalion commander." ”。

"I immediately personally commanded the third company, and hurried to move the captured in the city back to Dulong Village!"

Zhang Dabiao bowed his head and said, "Okay, act immediately!" ”。

"Yes, Battalion Commander."

Lin Yuxuan stood up and saluted, and then immediately walked away to command.

At this time, at the end of the Battle of Shuocheng, the captain of the 73rd Infantry Brigade of the 73rd Infantry Wing of the Devil Brigade on the way back to the reinforcements, Ishikawa Saburo had already received the last moment, and the wing commander Kenzaburo Tabe had someone send him a farewell telegram from Ishikawa Saburo.

At this time, the Japanese army brigade at the command post of Ishikawa Saburo was able to reach only half the distance from Shuocheng.

"Captain, the co-captain's trick is not to be in a hurry!"

After the chief of staff of the brigade, Taro Hirota, rushed to Ishikawa Saburo with a big change in his face and said in a condensed voice: "Shuocheng has been lost again, and the imperial troops who stayed in the city have all been killed. ”。

"After the signal corps received an urgent call from the wing commander, the subsequent emergency contact was no longer available."

When Saburo Ishikawa heard this, he immediately ordered the rapidly marching brigade to stop advancing, and then took the farewell telegram from Taro Hirota's hand and looked at it with a solemn face.

In less than half a minute, the text content on the simple farewell telegram has been read.

"Hiss!!"

After reading the farewell telegram, Ishikawa Saburo gasped.

Ishikawa Saburo didn't expect that the enemy army that ambushed His Royal Highness Boyan would eat all the imperial troops in Shuocheng so quickly.

The captain of the company, Kenzaburo Tabe, finally died in the battle for His Majesty Tianhuang's loyalty.

"Eight Tooth Road!"

Ishikawa Saburo then roared in a low voice, "The abominable Eighth Route Army Independent Regiment, this is the second time that Shuocheng has been breached!" ”

"Captain."

Captain Taro Hirota, chief of staff of the brigade, said with a serious expression at this time: "According to the last trick of the wing commander, the enemy army attacking Shuocheng is full of 13 or 400 people, at least about the strength of a regiment. ”。

"Shuocheng is lost, even if we are in the city now, the other party will close the city and defend it, I am afraid that we will not be able to take Shuocheng with this little force."

After a pause, Captain Taro Hirota said in a low voice, "Captain, what should we do?" ”

"At this time, if we continue to go back, we will face a siege."

When Saburo Ishikawa heard this, he understood what Taro Hirota, the captain of his henchmen, meant.

However, it is impossible to return to Qingzhou City halfway through the reinforcements.

What's more, Shuocheng is now the rear of the imperial army that gathered under Qingzhou City, and then the rear supply base.

Now this place has been captured again by the men and horses sent by the independent regiment, and once the other party has more troops to reinforce Shuocheng, the imperial army under Qingzhou City will be blocked between Qingzhou City and Shuocheng.

The back road has been captured, and it is impossible for the reinforcements to return to Qingzhou City.

"Forward the news of the loss of Shuocheng to the brigade commander immediately! Request the order of the brigade commander! ”

Ishikawa Saburo didn't hesitate for anything, and after thinking about it, he said in a condensed voice: "Order the troops, and immediately return to the east for reinforcements." ”。

"Next, we who rushed to Shuocheng City may need to attack Shuocheng. Get ready for this! ”

Seeing this, Captain Taro Hirota said bitterly: "Yes, captain." ”。

After that, Taro Hirota immediately sent someone to report the loss of Shuocheng to the brigade commander Yoshikawa Shojiro.

As for the Devil's Brigade, which had temporarily halted its advance, it continued to maintain the speed of a rapid march and returned to the east.

Of course, the object of the return has been annihilated by Zhang Dabiao's troops.

A few minutes later, Qingzhou City!

Inside the East Gate City, on the roof of an eight-story building, Li Yunlong's wartime temporary headquarters.

"Click!!

The sound of crisp footsteps came, and Li Yunlong was already a little familiar, and he didn't need to look up to know that it was a communication soldier walking quickly.

Sure enough, it was the communications corps of the command headquarters who walked quickly, walked up to Li Yunlong, stood up and saluted, and reported in a happy tone: "Report to the regiment commander, the commander of the first battalion has called, Shuocheng has been taken, and many senior officers below the rank of Kenzaburo Tabe, the commander of the 73rd Infantry Wing of the devil, have been killed. ”。

"A total of more than 600 remnants of the Japanese army in Shuocheng were annihilated. In addition, a large number of grain, grass, ammunition and other materials were seized, and the commander of the first battalion asked for the next action order! ”

When Li Yunlong heard this, his eyebrows jumped, and then his face was full of smiles, and he said, "Hmm! ”。

After receiving the telegram from the communications soldier, Li Yunlong quickly read it.

At this time, Wang Huaibao, the commander of the third battalion on the side, was also there just now, and said with a smile: "Regiment commander, the first battalion is fighting well!" really won Shuocheng again. ”。

"However, the devils who came back from Qingzhou City are estimated to have reached the halfway point. The 15th Brigade of the Devils is also on the way south, and it is probably impossible for Shuocheng to hold it after the devils from two directions join forces to come to the city. ”

Li Yunlong bowed his head, this is inevitable.

Although Zhang Dabiao's kid commanded the main force of the first battalion and three companies to defend Shuocheng, he could defend the city, and the first battalion of street battles in the city could afford to fight.

However, the strength of the 15th Brigade of the Devils going south and the reinforcements from Qingzhou City is estimated to be nearly 8,000 people.

At that time, the ratio of enemy and our forces in the direction of Shuocheng was five to one, and Zhang Dabiao and they could not be eaten by the devils in Shuocheng.

Even if it is not eaten, the first battalion will definitely be surrounded by devils and beaten violently, and it is inevitable that there will be heavy casualties.

"Call Zhang Dabiao back, it's similar to our previous callback."

Li Yunlong didn't think much about it, and said directly to the communication soldiers: "Telegraph Zhang Dabiao, Shuocheng is better not to defend, the devil reinforcements from Qingzhou City have already gone halfway." ”。

"Before the devil soldiers from Qingzhou City come to the city, you can withdraw from Shuocheng."

The signal soldier immediately said: "Understood, regimental commander. ”。

After the signal corps walked away to send a report, Wang Huaibao, the commander of the third battalion, said: "Regiment commander, the shelling outside the East Gate is still intermittent. ”。

"Nakamura Zhenxiong has never invested a large number of infantry to attack us under the cover of artillery fire, and it seems that the instability in the rear has made Nakamura Zhenxiong have some scruples."

Li Yunlong nodded, picked up the binoculars and looked at the situation outside the East Gate.

I saw that outside the East Gate, there was a lot of artillery fire, and thirty Devil 92 infantry guns were shelling the east gate of Qingzhou City.

However, the intensity of artillery fire is now clearly weakened.

Moreover, Nakamura Zhenxiong has not sent heavy infantry to attack the city again until now, which shows that Zhang Dabiao's actions in the direction of Shuocheng have made Nakamura Zhenxiong have some scruples.

The rear was unstable, and Nakamura Zhenxiong did not dare to really invest in the siege of the city.

"At this time, we have all received a radio report from Zhang Dabiao."

After Li Yunlong took a look at the situation outside the East Gate City, he smiled at Wang Huaibao, the commander of the third battalion: "Now, it is estimated that Nakamura Zhenxiong should already know the situation in Shuocheng." ”。

"I don't know, what is the next plan for this old devil Nakamura Zhenxiong?"

Wang Huaibao said with a smile when he heard this, "Commander, it is estimated that we will continue to surround Shuocheng, and look at the situation in the direction of Shuocheng after seeing the first line of the sky." ”

"Otherwise, do you really dare to continue to attack Qingzhou City despite the threat from the rear after Shuocheng is captured by us?"

Li Yunlong nodded, and then said: "What's more, in the direction of the sky, the two teams of devils don't know if they will be transferred back by Nakamura Zhenxiong." ”。

"Now, the fourth battalion has also gone south to reinforce the first battalion and the fourth company left behind in the first line. Our current situation has stabilized, and it depends on how the old devil Nakamura Zhenxiong makes a move. ”

Wang Huaibao said: "Nakamura Zhenxiong should be to ensure the safety of Shuocheng. ”。

"Possibly!"

Li Yunlong nodded and said, "But we must also be vigilant at all times to prevent Nakamura Zhenxiong from ordering the devils outside the city to storm Qingzhou City in anger after learning the news of Shuocheng." “

"All the troops defending the city, from now on, be ready for battle at any time."

Wang Huaibao said uprightly: "Yes, regimental commander." ”。

And Nakamura Zhenxiong, who was discussed by Li Yunlong and Wang Huaibao, was indeed quickly reported by Yoshikawa Shojiro, the commander of the 7th Brigade, that Shuocheng was lost again.

Somewhere outside the east gate of Qingzhou City, in the military tent headquarters of Nakamura Zhenxiong.

"Bang !!"

With the loud sound of a fist slamming into the table in front of him, the devil senior officers gathered around the table were all silent and did not dare to speak.

"Eight Tooth Road! Eight grid tooth road! ”

Nakamura Zhenxiong slammed his fist on the table, and then said angrily: "Shuocheng is lost again, and it is a shame for the Imperial Army, and it is a shame for all of us now. ”。

"Your Excellency the General's anger!"

"Your Excellency the General's anger!"

The devil's senior officers present all involuntarily persuaded in unison.

In particular, the commander of the 7th Brigade, Yoshikawa Shojiro, hurriedly pleaded guilty and said, "Your Excellency, please plead for your humble duties. ”。

"We didn't expect that the enemy army that ambushed His Highness Boyan would take Shuocheng again so quickly."

Without waiting for Nakamura Zhenxiong to speak, suddenly the devil communication staff officer of the military tent headquarters came over and reported loudly: "Your Excellency General Qiqi, the news of the loss of Shuocheng was sent by Li Yunlong, the head of the independent regiment, in his name!" ”。

"Nani?"

Hearing this, Nakamura Zhenxiong quickly took a look at the telegram from the hands of the communications staff officer, and then his eyes were on fire, and he gritted his teeth and said: "Li Yunlong, this is not an opportunity to humiliate us!" ”。
