I am helping

Chapter 955 Emergency call, caesarean section!
Zhangjiakou.

city ​​wall.

Seeing this scene, Japanese officers such as Higuchi Kiichiro, Nakazawa Mizuo and Kuroda Shigenori and some soldiers were motionless as if they had been struck by lightning.

The faces of all the Japs were filled with unbelievable shock.

A Japanese staff officer looked at Higuchi Kiichiro on the side.

Do you think this is the Eight-Road Fireworks that Lieutenant General invited us to see?
But looking at Higuchi Kiichiro's angry expression, none of the Japanese officers dared to speak.

Anyone who makes a sarcastic comment at this time will definitely be chopped down by Higuchi Kiichiro.

"idiot!"

After a while, Higuchi Kiichiro cursed loudly and angrily drew out the lieutenant general's sword.

All the Japanese officers heard a "swish" sound, and then the blade flashed, and the teapot and small table in front of Higuchi Kiichiro were cut into two pieces.

Some of the Japanese officers couldn't help but take a breath, secretly saying that the Lieutenant General's sword skills were so sharp.

However, Higuchi Kiichiro's body was crumbling, and his eyes and expression seemed to be cannibalistic.

With this level of bombing, his Class A 9th Division would most likely be gone.

But this was not over yet. Just as the two waves of bombers from the Eighth Route Army left, there was another buzzing sound from the southwest.

"30 enemy aircraft discovered!"

The Japanese lookout soldiers reported loudly.

"Ahhh!"

The endless swarm of bombers from the Eighth Route Army completely drove Higuchi Kiichiro crazy. He waved his sword in his hand and cut off the table in front of Mitsuo Nakazawa and Shigenori Kuroda.

He almost killed Mitsuo Nakazawa and Shigenori Kuroda.

"Higuchi-kun, calm down!"

Kuroda Shigetori quickly advised.

Mitsuo Nakazawa somewhat understood Higuchi Kiichiro's mood at this time.

How powerful his 1st Division was at the beginning, but what was the result?

At the end of the battle, more than 1 main members of the 2st Division were killed. At that time, he was in the mood to commit suicide by caesarean section.

After these three waves of bombing by the Eighth Route Army, at least half of the 9th Division suffered casualties, and its main force was killed.

It is impossible for the troops of the 9th Division to withdraw from Dongshan so quickly.

With such powerful aerial bombs and incendiary bombs clearing the ground, how many people in the 9th Division could survive?
"I can't calm down!"

Higuchi Kiichiro's eyes were about to burst.

Seeing his troops being wiped out by Eighth Route Army aerial bombs and incendiary bombs, he couldn't calm down at all.

If he hadn't been mentally strong, he would have wiped his own neck with the lieutenant general's sword at this time.

"The Eighth Route Army should only have these three waves of bombings."

Mitsuo Nakazawa sighed and said.

He and Kuroda Shigenori looked at each other, and both saw complicated expressions in each other's eyes.

It's both heartbreaking and a little bit lucky.

What is heartbreaking is that the machine gunners and light and heavy machine guns of the 1st Division and the 26th Division were also wiped out by the Eighth Route Army's aerial bombs and incendiary bombs.

Fortunately, the infantry of the 1st Division and the 26th Division did not go to Dongshan to ambush the Eighth Route Army aircraft.

otherwise.

The 1st Division, 26th Division and 9th Division were all wiped out in one wave.

almost annihilated.

Even if the entire army is not wiped out, it will definitely be severely damaged, and the three divisions will lose their combat effectiveness at once.

If the Eighth Route Army takes the opportunity to attack, Zhangjiakou, an important military town, will soon be captured by the Eighth Route Army, thus threatening the Pingjin and Tianjin areas.

"Moshi moshi..."

On the side, Higuchi Kiichiro's adjutant has been calling the Higashiyama Air Defense Command, but since the first wave of bombings, the phone has not been able to get through.

"Division Commander."

"The phone can't be connected. The phone line must have been blown out."

The Japanese adjutant reported to Higuchi Kiichiro with a mournful face.

"General."

"Lost the radio signal of the prevention and control headquarters."

The Japanese telegraph soldiers also came over and reported to Higuchi Kiichiro.

Watching the third wave of Eighth Route Army aircraft swooping towards the Japanese position in Dongshan, the 3th Division's position did not fight back.

Coupled with the interruption of all communications, it was obvious that the 9th Division had been severely damaged.

Thinking of this, Higuchi Kiichiro fell straight down.

"Higuchi-kun!"

"Higuchi-kun!"

"..."

Before he fell into coma, Higuchi Kiichiro could only hear the urgent shouts of Mitsuo Nakazawa and Shigenori Kuroda.

Mitsuo Nakazawa and Shigetori Kuroda carried Higuchi Kiichiro onto a stretcher, and then asked the soldiers to carry him to the field hospital.

At this time, the Eighth Route Army's bombing continued.

Mitsuo Nakazawa and Shigetori Kuroda raised their binoculars and looked.

"Kuroda-kun, the third wave of Eighth Route Army aircraft attacks are mainly light bombers and fighter jets, carrying out dive strafing and precision bombing on ground targets!"

"This is a premeditated and organized bombing operation by the Eighth Route Army!"

"The target is the 9th Division on Dongshan Mountain who is preparing to ambush the Eighth Route Army aircraft!"

Mitsuo Nakazawa's tone and expression were extremely solemn.

"The ambush plan has been leaked!"

Kuroda Shigenori nodded, his expression uncertain for a moment.

"How many people know about this ambush plan?"

Mitsuo Nakazawa asked.

"There are many, not easy to investigate!"

Kuroda Shigenori said with an ugly expression:
"Although Mr. Higuchi did not report or ask for instructions from the North China Front Headquarters in advance, almost all the men of the 9th Division, as well as our machine gunners, and officers above the staff level of our two divisions, knew about this matter."

"They are all likely to leak information to the Eighth Route Army."

Mitsuo Nakazawa frowned and said in a gloomy tone: "This incident is too weird, including the fact that our 1st Division was ambushed by the Eighth Route Army. All the information was leaked. We must investigate to the end, otherwise we have no chance of winning."

Kuroda Shigenori looked at Mitsuo Nakazawa in front of him, his eyes suddenly flashed.

The 1th Heavy Artillery Regiment and the 5rd Infantry Regiment of the 3st Division were ambushed in Miaoergou.

As well as the main force of the 1st Division, they were ambushed by the Eighth Route Army on their way from Datong to northwest Shanxi.

Today, the main force of the 9th Division was bombed in turn by the Eighth Route Army aircraft.

Mitsuo Nakazawa knew this information.

Could it be that Mitsuo Nakazawa in front of him was a senior agent or spy of the Eighth Route Army?

"Kuroda-kun, did you find anything?"

The subtle changes in Kuroda Shigenori's eyes were caught by the keen Mizuo Nakazawa, and he asked immediately.

"No."

Kuroda Shigenori shook his head, but there was a hint of wariness in the depths of his eyes when he looked at Mitsuo Nakazawa.

……

The Eighth Route Army's third wave of attacks consisted mainly of 3 fighter jets and 10 attack aircraft.

Although bombs can also be dropped from high altitudes, the accuracy of high-altitude bombs is relatively low.

The first two waves of aerial bombs and incendiary bombs cleared the ground, turning the Japanese air defense positions into a sea of ​​fire.

Therefore, these 30 bombers all dived and dropped bombs and strafed at low altitudes.

but.

The first two waves of aircraft bombings caused smoke to cover the sky and the sun. Even the Eighth Route Army's aircraft dived, strafed and bombed, but the effect was not good.

Because I couldn't see where the Japanese were still alive on the ground.

After dropping the aerial bombs, the fighter jets and bombers went back and forth several times to finish off the bullets and aerial bombs they carried.Then they formed a flying formation in the sky and headed back to northwest Shanxi without looking back.

Only the entire burning Dongshan was left.

The flames are raging into the sky, just like purgatory on earth!
Countless Japanese were killed in the bombing.

Watching the Eighth Route Army planes leave, the Japanese infantrymen of the 1st Division and the 26th Division, under the orders of Mitsuo Nakazawa and Shigenori Kuroda, rushed to the Higashiyama position to rescue people.

……

noon.

Peiping.

Iron Lion Alley.

North China Front Army Command.

Although the North China Front Army Headquarters was within the bombing range of the Eighth Route Army aircraft.

But the Eighth Route Army did not send planes to bomb.

The reason is simple. There are some Chinese people living near Tieshizi Hutong.

The Japanese set up some anti-aircraft guns and built air-raid shelters at the headquarters. Not only was the bombing ineffective, but low-altitude bombing also ran the risk of being shot down.

at this time.

Okamura Neji, Arisu Seizo and Yamamoto Kazuki were having lunch together around the table.

As the first, second and third leaders of the North China Front, the three old Japanese soldiers had a relatively average diet, which was better than that of the Japanese soldiers on the front line, but there was no big fish or meat.

At present, Japan's supplies are not abundant, and can even be described as in short supply. A few old Japanese are still relatively frugal.

"General."

"I just received an urgent message from Lieutenant General Mizuo Nakazawa, commander of the 1st Division, and Lieutenant General Shigenori Kuroda, commander of the 26th Division!"

Communications Staff Officer Kiya Haruo held a telegram in his hand, walked in quickly, and reported to Okamura Nejiton with an ugly face.

Okamura Neji instinctively frowned slightly, and his eating movements also paused.

Every time he heard the word "urgent telegram," he couldn't help feeling panicked. As the commander of the North China Front for more than a year, the telegram he heard most often was urgent telegram.

Every time an urgent call is received, it must mean that the locust army has lost the battle.

As a result, Okamura Neiji now has PTSD from the word emergency call. Every time he receives an emergency call, he can't help but get chills down his spine.

Urgent calls from the 1st Division and the 26th Division?

Did the Eighth Route Army attack Zhangjiakou?
However, Okamura Neji breathed a sigh of relief when he thought that the 9th Division was also stationed in Zhangjiakou and that Zhangjiakou would not be easily captured by the Eighth Route Army.

"Read!"

Okamura Neji waved his hand and said.

"Hi!"

Haruo Kitani took the telegram and read:

"Lieutenant General Higuchi Kiichiro assembled the main force of the 9th Division, the machine gun troops of the 1st Division and the 26th Division to ambush the Eighth Route Army aircraft in the Dongshan area of ​​Zhangjiakou this morning."

"However, the intelligence was leaked, and the ambush force was bombed by more than 100 Eighth Route Army aircraft in Dongshan, causing heavy casualties."

"Mitsuo Nakazawa, commander of the 1st Division, Shigenori Kuroda, commander of the 26th Division."

"His Majesty Tian Locust is on board, and the Japanese Locust Army is on board!"

After reading the telegram, Kitani lowered his head slightly and looked at his nose and heart.

"Baga, Yalu!"

Upon hearing this, Okamura Neji stood up suddenly and angrily knocked the rice and bowl in his hands upside down on the table.

Then he flipped the dining table away, and the food on the table suddenly spilled all over the floor.

Beside them were Sue Seizo and Yamamoto Kazuki, with expressions of incredible shock on their faces.

Lieutenant General Higuchi Kiichiro actually mobilized so many troops to ambush the Eighth Route Army aircraft without asking for instructions.

Even if the ambush was successful, I didn't expect that the ambush failed.

Although the telegram did not clearly mention the casualty data of the 9th Division, 1st Division and 26th Division.

However, both Seizo Sue and Kazuki Yamamoto knew that the 9th Division, 1st Division and 26th Division would suffer heavy casualties this time, because the Eighth Route Army has heavy long-range bombers, and perhaps the main force of the 9th Division It was blown up directly.

At this time, Okamura Neji was so angry that he was speechless.

Youmo Seizo looked at Kugu Haruo: "Kugu-kun, call back the 1st Division and the 26th Division immediately, count the casualties as soon as possible, and report to the front army headquarters!"

"Hi."

Kugu Haruo lowered his head, turned around and left quickly.

After Kitani Haruo left, Okamura Neji whipped out his sword and chopped all the blue and white porcelain vases in the room to pieces.

However, these blue and white porcelains are all fakes. The real blue and white porcelain vases were replaced by Yumo Seishan.

He knew that every time Okamura Neji lost a battle, he would either overturn the dining table or chop up the blue and white porcelain.

Although these blue and white porcelains were snatched from the Chinese, Okamura Neiji couldn't help but practice his sword skills for a long time.

this time.

Okamura Neji is really angry.

Without asking for instructions, Higuchi Kiichiro mobilized the main force of the 9th Division, as well as the troops of the 1st Division and the 26th Division, which was equivalent to defeating the superior.

It is okay for oneself to defeat the superior, but it is absolutely not possible for the subordinate to defeat the superior.

This time.

Neji Okamura plans to scare the monkeys!
……

Zhangjiakou.

Four p.m.

Kiichiro Higuchi, the commander of the 9th Division who fainted out of anger, woke up faintly.

"How many casualties did the Locust Army have?"

The first thing he said after waking up, Higuchi Kiichiro looked at the adjutant next to him and asked in a low voice.

"Reporting to the division commander, the loss is huge."

The adjutant's expression was a little hesitant, wondering whether he should report to Higuchi Kiichiro.

"Say!"

Taking a deep breath, Higuchi Kiichiro's voice suddenly rose.

"Hi!"

Report on Adjutant Hui’s ugly expression:

"Division Commander, the machine gun units of our 9th Division, 1st Division and 26th Division have been almost completely wiped out."

"The brigade commander, Major General Yoshitori Akiyama, Major General Nobutoki Ide and Chief of Staff Koichi Suzuki are missing."

第9师团下辖第6旅团和第18旅团，合计4个步兵联队，以及工兵第9联队、辎重兵第9联队、炮兵第9联队和骑兵第9联队。

There are also four field hospitals of the 9th Division Communications Team and the 9th Division Health Team.

In addition to the communications team, health team, and artillery regiment, the remaining seven regiments of soldiers who could shoot were all sent to Dongshan by Higuchi Kiichiro to ambush the Eighth Route Army aircraft.

Including the machine gun troops of the 1st Division and the 26th Division, the total strength is nearly 3.

In the small area of ​​​​Dongshan, nearly 3 Japanese soldiers were huddled together in hiding without any air raid shelters or even the most basic civil engineering works.

More than 500 tons of aerial bombs and napalm bombs poured down, and the Japanese casualties were naturally extremely heavy.

Although some fish that slipped through the net survived by chance, but not many.

Many Japanese soldiers' bodies were directly destroyed by the bombing, so they were reported missing when reporting.

"You should go out first. No one is allowed to come in without my order. I want to be alone."

Higuchi Kiichiro waved his hand with an ugly expression, signaling the adjutant to leave.

"Hi."

The adjutant glanced at Higuchi Kiichiro with some concern, but still lowered his head and left.

After half an hour.

"Higuchi-kun, General Okamura Neji sent an urgent message, you..."

Mizuo Nakazawa of the 1st Division, holding an urgent telegram from Neji Okamura to Kiichiro Higuchi, walked quickly into the ward of the field hospital of the 9th Division, and the sound stopped suddenly.

The Japanese adjutant hurried in, his expression suddenly changed.

Higuchi Kiichiro was seen lying in a pool of blood, with a short knife stuck in his stomach. The blood dyed the white quilt red.
