"Who is the captain of the Japanese garrison at Jingcheng Pass?"

"Kiyoki is straight. It was the thief chief who led the army to attack the Lugou Bridge under the pretext that the soldiers were missing. ”

"It's him!"

Zhang Chu nodded thoughtfully.

It turned out to be the culprit who provoked the 77 incident. It's really a narrow road.

If it were according to normal historical development, this guy would have died in the Pacific Theater. Died in Guadalcanal. Died under the guns of the old American Marines.

Cheap him.

He should be liquidated by the Chinese people......

"Ding!"

"Side quest [Great Reckoning] Update!"

"Mission Briefing: Kill Kiyonao Ichiki."

"Mission Reward: Earn 1,000 upgrades."

"Mission giveaway: one 105mm howitzer (with multiple choices)."

"Reminder: If you can capture them alive, the reward will be doubled."

"Mission Extension: After completing this mission, there is a certain chance to start a high-level side quest - kill Mutaguchi Ryoya."

Suddenly, information flooded into my mind.

Zhang Chu: ......

Mind moves.

And then a little bit of excitement.

Kill Kiyoshi Ichiki?

1000 upgrades?

A 105mm howitzer?

Wow!

That's a nice bonus!

The number of upgrades is important. However, the 105-mm howitzer is much more important.

Because it needs to be tackled.

The 75-mm field guns were seriously under-attacked.

After all, the caliber is too small.

For such a target as the Shuiquan railway station, it was necessary to bomb with 105-mm howitzers!

No, it definitely doesn't.

A little excited......

If you catch it alive, you can also get double the reward. That's two 105-mm howitzers......

Is it difficult?

It doesn't seem to be very big. At least not as big as the water spring train station.

"How many people are there in the Jingcheng Pass garrison?"

"More than a thousand! Certainly less than two thousand! ”

"Does the Japanese brigade you encountered just now count?"

"Count!"

"Oh......"

Zhang Chu fell into deep thought.

Ichiki Qingzhi, with the rank of Nakasa, has more than 1,000 defenders.

If you have enough troops, it's not impossible to consider. Unfortunately, it seems that he does not have any extra troops.

The troops attacking the Shuiquan Railway Station are no longer enough, let alone attacking the Jingcheng Pass?

He is not a god, and he will not scatter beans into soldiers......

Flowers bloom everywhere, fires are lit everywhere, and that's how it ends up.

Perhaps, I should change my approach?

Eat one, clip another?

Let's go back first to help deal with the Japanese army in Cangyunling......

"Staff Officer Zhang!"

"Staff Officer Zhang!"

Suddenly, I heard someone shouting.

The sound is somewhat familiar.

When I turned my head to look, I found an acquaintance!

It's a member of the Independent Regiment!

The future second battalion commander Liu Zhiyong! Captured Ping'an County with him before!

Unexpectedly, he actually appeared here.

"Company Commander Liu!"

"Staff Officer Zhang!"

Liu Zhiyong was also very happy.

He never expected that he would meet Zhang Chu here.

Immediately breathed a sigh of relief.

All the tiredness is swept away.

A heart that was originally hanging high was immediately put down. Relaxed.

Zhang Chu is here, and things will be easy to do.

"Company Commander Liu, why are you here?"

"We came to meet the soldiers of the Northeast Army in accordance with the orders of our superiors."

"How's it going?"

"Very bad! Chased and beaten by devils and two devils! ”

"How many of you came?"

"I, Lu Gong, and Lu Lei all brought a platoon."

"So little?"

"That's all we can draw."

"Oh......"

Zhang Chu nodded.

Indeed, over there, the Independent Regiment is also fighting!

The Japanese invaders had three independent mixed brigades rushing towards Ping'an County. There was also a heavy artillery wing in the back. There's definitely pressure over there.

It is already remarkable that a few hundred people can be dispatched here to deal with the uprising of the Northeast Army.

Seriously, if it weren't for them. It is estimated that the Northeast Army that started the incident has been wiped out long ago.

Judging from the current situation, the morale of those soldiers of the Northeast Army who started the incident is obviously not very high. There is no confidence in victory. There is no positivity.

This is a common phenomenon. It's not one person.

The fighting atmosphere at that time was indeed very difficult. The Japanese were too strong to see little hope of victory.

"How many soldiers of the Northeast Army are willing to go with you?"

"More than 2,300 people."

"Anyone else?"

"Yes. There were also local forces that helped to cover, about 1,300 people. There is also a regiment of the Jizhong Military Region that helped to respond, with about 3,000 people. ”

"Which regiment of the Jizhong Military Region?"

"Twenty-eighth regiment. Their original head was called Ding Wei. ”

"Ah......h

Zhang Chu was overjoyed.

Ding Wei's 28th Regiment was actually nearby? And more than 3,000 people?

There is hope!

Although it is said that Ding Wei is no longer the commander of the 28th regiment. However, to borrow it, it is estimated that there is not much of a problem.

The point is that this borrowing is of great benefit to the 28th regiment.

A hundred light and heavy machine guns. Thirty mortars. Tempted?

If you don't move, add six more field guns......

Until you get your heart struck!

"Staff Officer Zhang, please help!"

"How?"

"Immediately follow us east to save people."

Liu Zhiyong said anxiously.

He said that the team behind was besieged by the devils, Shi Yousan, and Sun Dianying, and the situation was very dangerous.

Lu Gong and Lu Lei are responsible for breaking off. It is estimated that it will not last long.

Although the 28th Regiment of the Jizhong Military Region has a large number of people. But the firepower is relatively weak. Unable to break the blockade of the Japanese invaders.

"Okay, I'll go to the back with you!"

Zhang Chu immediately made a decision.

At the same time, he was thinking about how to make use of all the forces in front of him.

Kill Kiyonao Ichiki......

105-mm howitzer ......

"Staff Officer Zhang!"

"Staff Officer Zhang!"

While speaking, Monk Wei and Duan Peng caught up.

Both of them were out of breath. But I'm tired.

Who would have thought that Zhang Chu would run so far on a motorcycle and come to Jingcheng Pass.

"Will you take the car next time?"

Zhang Chu asked kindly.

The faces of the two immediately turned dull. Then shake your head.

Didn't speak.

Yes, I still don't want to sit.

Although it is very tiring to run long distances. But......

It's safe!

If you take the car, your feet don't touch the ground, and you don't feel steady!

"Come with me!"

"Yes!"

Zhang Chu took Sun Ming, Duan Peng, and Monk Wei to follow Liu Zhiyong and continued to walk east.

The road is gradually shifting. Start walking the mountain road. But it was the Japanese army who wanted to bypass the Jingcheng Pass.

Although there are not many remnants of the Japanese army. But there are fortifications.

I couldn't help but frown quietly.

It seems that the side quests are also difficult!

Even if the two main regiments come, it will be difficult to take the Jingcheng Pass Fortress.

How much more is it a rabble?

Well, the soldiers in the uprising at this moment can indeed be said to be a rabble.

Liu Zhiyong briefly introduced the situation.

Those soldiers of the Northeast Army are almost all grassroots units. There are very few companies above the commander.

Sun Dianying is not stupid either. How is it possible to put these outsiders in high-level positions? It's clear that they don't trust them. Supplies. Pull it down when it's done.

The members of the underground party of our army successfully organized them. Then pulled out of the barracks.

In the end, there are a lot of people. But there is no strong organization. It can easily collapse. Once defeated, it will immediately collapse.

In other words, even the previous work is equivalent to doing it in vain.

Most of the soldiers who were scattered would also be killed by the reactionary forces. The Japanese will definitely not let them go.

Alas, it's better to get people out first.

……

"What is Dirt Eight Road going to do?"

"Are they going to attack Jingcheng Pass?"

"What part of the dirt road is it? Combat effectiveness is so strong? ”

Kiyoshi Kazuki couldn't figure it out.

He is a lieutenant with the rank of lieutenant. Responsible for garrisoning Jingcheng Pass.

Jingcheng Pass is the most important strategic place to enter Jin Province from Ji Province and is indispensable.

However, the Japanese garrison at Jingcheng Pass was not many.

There were less than 2,000 people in the full.

It still includes the number of people in all the surrounding strongholds.

Because the combat effectiveness of the Chinese army was so poor, the Japanese army did not pay attention to it at all.

In particular, Ichiki Qingzhi is even more contemptuous of the Chinese army.

The Lugou Bridge Incident was provoked by him.

After that, the Japanese army swept all the way through North China and did not meet decent resistance at all.

With a brigade, he can easily defeat a division of the Chinese army. Or even two divisions, three divisions. It's completely devastating.

In the huge Jin Province, that is, Itagaki Seishiro led the Fifth Division, plus auxiliary troops, that is, more than 30,000 people, and all of them were defeated.

However, after the Lugou Bridge Incident, Yimu Qingzhi's career was not smooth.

Some people don't like him.

So he was transferred out of the field army. Assigned to the garrison.

This garrison is at the rank of a wing, and it stands to reason that a large officer should be sent to serve as a general officer. However, Kiyoshi Ichiki has not yet been promoted.

In the words of magnificence, it is the importance of Kiyoshi Ichiki.

With the rank of Nakasa, he held the position of Dasa.

It's glory!

The question is, what can be done when stationed at Jingcheng Pass?

You can only eat and wait for death.

It is simply impossible to make a difference.

If you want to be promoted to the rank of Dazuo, there is no time to go.

I am in an irritable mood. Then I received a front-line battle report.

A brigade sent out by himself was actually defeated?

Still a lot of losses?

Still asking for support?

Yaga!

Do you still have a face?

It's just some dirt roads that have crossed the line sporadically!

A brigade can't deal with it?

Yaga! All committed suicide by caesarean section......

But!

In the end, it was settled.

Order them all to withdraw!

I'll wait until we figure out the reason for the incident! If you want revenge, there is a chance!

So......

Kiyoshi Kazuki did not report upwards.

He felt that with his own ability, he could completely solve the current problems.

If you can solve it yourself, why should you alarm your boss?

When the matter is resolved, it's not too late to report to your boss......

In this way, it seems that you have the ability!

Isn't that what Lugou Bridge did?

Chop first, play later!

I'll talk about it.

However, the chief of staff felt that something was not right, and reminded him tactfully, "Your Excellency Captain, is Tuba Road sending additional troops to Shuiquan Railway Station?" ”

"What's the use of even increasing troops." Yimu shook his head straightly, "It's all Sun Dianying's subordinates, what combat power can they have?" ”

The chief of staff thought about it. That's right, too. They are all stragglers under Sun Dianying.

For Sun Dianying, Shi Yousan and the like. The Japanese are absolutely despised.

It was only because of political necessity that I did not do anything to them for the time being. Once in action, a brigade will be able to take them out.

In the final analysis, it is a sentence, the Chinese combat effectiveness is not good.

There will be no war.

Can't fight!

Greedy for life and afraid of death. Corruption is rampant. What's the use of having a population of 40,000?

It's just the sick man of East Asia!

……

Hurry up, hurry, hurry.

Finally, before dark, Zhang Chu rushed to the east of Jingcheng Pass.

Gunfire could be heard in the distance.

Enter the battlefield.

The stakes are already at stake.
