Unparalleled Warriors of Anti-Japanese War

The occurrence of the latter situation also shows that their status in the hearts of the Japanese army is constantly improving.In many cases, when facing them, the Japanese army no longer has the heart of contempt, and thinks that they are strong and worthy of awe.

Only the little devils who entered Huaxia can understand that Huaxia is not easy to bully, and Huaxia's troops are not inferior to them.Perhaps this kind of aggression will not happen for many years to come.

If these aggressors are not given a painful lesson, perhaps they will never know how to reflect on themselves.At least in He Zhengdao's view, Japan, as a country that lost World War II, also doesn't know how to reflect on later generations, and doesn't know how to respect and face up to history!

He Zhengdao also hoped that the Japanese soldiers receiving education in the areas controlled by the Eighth Route Army would know that it would not be a good thing for them or China to easily provoke a war. On the contrary, it would be very detrimental to both countries.

After all, war will kill people. China was reborn in this war of resistance against Japan, and Japan eventually went to perish in this war.It's just that when sharing the spoils at the end, many people forgot about Huaxia's contribution.

In short, He Zhengdao hopes that by educating these captives, Japan and even the world will remember China's contribution and dedication in this war of resistance.Also let people who don't understand China know what it means to "offenders in China will be punished even if they are far away"!

With the fall of the South Gate, the troops of the Eighth Route Army who attacked Shouyang gradually opened the tortoise shells that the Japanese army relied on for shelter.The Second Reconnaissance Regiment, as an assault force, also started to advance towards the center of the city from the south gate and west gate.

With the sound of gunfire and the encirclement, the head of the No. 20 First Brigade of the Japanese Infantry who was staying at the command post in the city could only sigh and say: "It seems that we can't wait for the head of the division to arrive!"

Even in the eyes of the brigade commander of the major general, with only this little force in his hand, it is still somewhat uncertain if he wants to hold out until the main force of the division arrives.But he still underestimated the speed of the Eighth Route Army in attacking the city.

When he was in Yangquan, he fought against the Third Infantry Division.He could already feel that the Eighth Route Army was no less inferior to the infantry brigade he commanded in terms of weaponry and military quality.

The huge development and changes of the Eighth Route Army was the reason why he felt that this battle would be lost so quickly.Compared with the continuous development and growth of the Eighth Route Army in the flames of war, they began to be limited by many constraints such as military strength and supplies.

The war that lasted for a long time also made many Japanese officers and soldiers who entered China begin to feel war-weary.With all kinds of disadvantages, when they faced the Eighth Route Army, they no longer had the advantage they had when they first entered the Huaxia battlefield!

Hearing the dejected voice of the brigade commander, the officer retreating to the headquarters said, "General, shall we break through?"

In the eyes of these officers, staying in the headquarters can only lead to death.If they break through, they may still have a chance to leave Shouyang City and go outside when it is dark while the east and north gates are still in place.

The officers’ suggestion was quickly shaken by the head of the brigade and said: “Breakout, at this point, where can we go to break out? In Shanxi, there are only a few remaining occupied areas.

This time, we really lost.Even if we break out from the city, where shall we go next?To join the division commander and the others, do you think the Eighth Route Army will give us this opportunity?

As for breaking out to the Hebei side, such a long distance, not to mention how we will replenish supplies and ammunition after we leave the city.Those guerrillas of the Eighth Route Army who are active in various places alone will chase us to death.Breakout is hopeless! "

'General, but in the current situation, what should we do after all?Right now, the Eighth Route Army is advancing towards the headquarters. If we don't leave, I'm afraid we won't be able to leave! '

'Come on, we finally came here from Yangquan, where can we go now?Come, draft me a telegram and send it to the head of the division.Let me know that our department has been surrounded by the Eighth Route Army, and I'm afraid we won't be able to hold out until tomorrow.

For the sake of safety, it is recommended that the main force of the division immediately turn to other directions to break through.As for me, the head of the brigade, I will be loyal to His Majesty the Emperor in the name of a samurai.All departments of the brigade, let's break through immediately!

Those who are willing to stay and continue to fight, then stay and fight the Eighth Route to the end.If you don't want to stay, just choose to break through!I hope that some people in our brigade can successfully break out, even if the chances of this are not great.

If anyone feels unwilling to fight again, I allow them to surrender to the Eighth Route Army.In any case, they have fulfilled their obligations as an imperial family.If there is a chance, maybe they have a chance to go back to China to see the cherry blossoms! '

After the last words were spoken, many officers were very surprised.However, the words of "going back to China to see the cherry blossoms" made many military officers who have been out for a long time really miss their relatives who are far away in the island country.After all, that is their home!

As invaders, they have been domineering in China for a long time.But now, the successive defeats in the war have made many officers and soldiers who are increasingly homesick, hoping to return home alive one day.

Many wounded officers and soldiers in the Yangquan battle, when they were dying, would cry out that they wanted to go home to see their relatives, and take another look at the season when the cherry blossoms in their hometown were in full bloom.It is a pity that such a simple wish cannot be realized!

As for the way of loyalty mentioned by the head of the brigade, these officers naturally knew what it was.But the problem is that they are not good at persuading them when it comes to this kind of matter.After all, suicide by caesarean section is also considered a heroic act by them!

With the sending of this telegram, the order of the head of the infantry brigade spread throughout the city among the troops who were still persisting.Even if some little devils are unwilling to accept defeat like this, they still choose to fight to the end.

But there are still some little devils who start to shrink back when fighting, and even find places to hide secretly.When the Eighth Route Army attacked where they were, these little devils also wisely chose to surrender.

Perhaps surrendering to the Eighth Route Army is a shameful thing.But some well-informed little devils already know that among the Eighth Route Army, there are Japanese generals who surrendered.They are just a small soldier, thinking more about returning home alive.

During this period of time, I watched my comrades who were with me day and night die on the battlefield one by one.Many wounded comrades chose to hand over some last words and letters to their living comrades when they were dying, hoping to take them home.

Even after many little devils died, they couldn't even retrieve their bodies.This kind of death in a foreign land is another reason for disintegrating the fighting spirit of these little devils.Now that the decision has been made above, they don't feel any shame in surrendering.

At this moment, Itagaki, who was still attacking the Eighth Route Army's blocking position, also seemed extremely anxious listening to the still resounding gunfire ahead.When the Eighth Route Army launched its attack on Shouyang, Itagaki knew that time was too important to him.

But the problem is that after coming out of Jinzhong City, they have broken through the four blocking lines of the Eighth Route Army.This kind of tough battle after another, in addition to constantly devouring the troops he brought out, the consumption of ammunition is also very alarming.

Facing the tenacious resistance of the Eighth Route Army, the depleting troops, and the increasing number of wounded soldiers, Itagaki really felt anxious.But since he chose to break through, all he can do is keep moving forward.

Once they stop, the only fate waiting for them is to be wiped out by the Eighth Route Army.If they can reach Shouyang, maybe they still have a glimmer of life.And the farewell call received by this man when night fell finally broke the only extravagant hope in Itagaki's heart.

'how so!In less than three hours, how did the Eighth Route attack the city? '

Compared with the disappointment and even despair on Itagaki's face, the chief of staff of the division who stayed beside him said bitterly: "General, when the No. 20 [-]st Brigade retreated to Shouyang, almost all the attached artillery units were destroyed. up.

And the army that attacked Shouyang was the main force of the Eighth Route that rushed from Yulin to Yangquan.The main division was attached to the artillery unit of at least one infantry regiment, and the 120th Division also sent a unit to join the attack.

Shouyang is not a strong city, once the city wall is destroyed, it is not easy to stop the Eighth Route Army from attacking the city with only a few troops in the city.After all, we are powerless to reverse this battle! "

As the chief of staff of a division, it takes a certain amount of courage to say such shameful words.But now this kind of battle situation is very obvious.They did not have a single victory in this battle.

Every time they adjust their combat deployment, they cannot avoid the Eighth Route Army from taking the lead.The two divisions originally stationed in Shanxi have almost been dismembered and wiped out by the Eighth Route Army.Without troops in hand, how can we talk about turning the tide of battle?

Hearing what the chief of staff said, Itagaki said after a while, "If we hadn't given up on Taiyuan, maybe the war situation wouldn't have turned out like this? Worst of all, if we stick to Taiyuan, the Eighth Route Army will pay a heavy price.

As a result, now, we go all the way and fight all the way, almost being led by the nose by the Eighth Route.This battle will become what it is now, I have an inescapable responsibility!How could this He Zhengdao be so powerful?

If He Zhengdao could hear Itagaki at this moment, he would probably be proud of it.After all, it is still very rare for Itagaki Seishiro to say such words with awe and admiration!

It's just that for He Zhengdao at this moment, when he received the news that the third infantry division had successfully captured Shouyang City, he knew that the overall situation of the Shanxi campaign had been decided.All that's left to do is to encircle and wipe out Itagaki, an old devil who wants to get away! (To be continued.)

-------------Chapter Dividing Line---------------

Accompanied by an assault company of the reconnaissance regiment, they took the lead in attacking the brigade headquarters of the Japanese army in the city. Looking at the major general of the Japanese army who was already kneeling with a knife in his stomach, he was in charge of the reconnaissance company of the headquarters. He also knew that this major general was the brigade commander of the Japanese army. .

Faced with such incidents of Japanese generals committing suicide in desperate moments, officers and soldiers on reconnaissance trips have become accustomed to it.The company commander who led the team cursed a few words, and ordered the commandos around him to restrain the dead Japanese major general.

Anyway, even if it was the dead little devil major general, he was still a general after all.For the corpse of this kind of Japanese general, it also needs to be handled with caution.In the end, if it is dealt with, it must be decided by the above.

At least the officers and soldiers of the reconnaissance brigade knew that the Japanese army still cared a lot about the corpses of their generals.If there is a chance, this corpse may also bring some benefits to the Eighth Route Army.Therefore, it cannot be handled at will.

After receiving the telegram from the army in the city, Lu Zhencao was also a little surprised and said: "Suicide? The general of the little devil is just so pissed! Forget it, keep that guy's body in place, and then ask the commander for instructions." How to deal with it.

Order the whole division to speed up into the city and wipe out the resistance forces in the city.Let the new brigade of the 120th Division work hard and tie their pockets outside the city.Once some little devils break out, they must not be allowed to escape! "

'Yes, sir! '

From Lu Zhencao's point of view, finding the brigade head of the Japanese major general who committed seppuku also meant that the command organization of the Japanese army in the city had been destroyed.The remaining Japanese troops who are still resisting are only a matter of time before they are destroyed.

Solving this Japanese infantry brigade that has been fighting since Yangquan, Lu Zhencao also felt that the combat mission of their division was almost completed.The next thing they have to do may be to adjust their status as much as possible and take a rest.

Sure enough, after receiving the good news from the Third Infantry Division, He Zhengdao also breathed a sigh of relief: "Order the Third Infantry Division, and after the battle, hand over Shouyang to the new brigade of the 120th Division for garrison. advance.

The officers and soldiers wounded in this battle, except for the seriously wounded who were not easy to move, the rest of the lightly wounded began to return to the rear hospital in Yulin for treatment in material delivery vehicles.In this way, the logistical burden of the Third Infantry Division can also be reduced.

As for some seriously wounded, they can only be transported to the nearest 120th division rear hospital because of the inconvenience of long-distance transportation.After the injury is healed, these seriously injured will be given corresponding arrangements according to the recovery situation.

As the construction of the Eighth Route Army's military reclamation farm is on the right track, many officers and soldiers in the army know it.As long as they can survive, regardless of whether their hands or feet are broken, the army will arrange a job for them within their ability. dudu1

At the Military Reclamation Farm, not only can they continue to wear military uniforms, but they can also be issued some weapons and equipment for self-defense and training.In addition, some of them will also have special local cadres to solve similar personal life-long events for them.
