Rise from eight hundred.

Chapter 1043 Vibration in all directions!

The morning of June 1938, 6 was definitely a morning that could be recorded in the history of China.

The streets of Jiangxia Heavy City!
Countless newsboys shouted in the streets: "North China, Shanxi, Southeast, and the battlefield are victorious!"

There were not many newspapers left in the newspaper bags they straddled diagonally, but the newsboys were still excitedly shouting loudly on the street.

Sparse office workers did not hesitate to take out cash to buy the few newspapers that were already there, but the people huddled under the building and in front of the shops showed more numbness.

It is not the first time that the government has won the propaganda. In Jinling, in many cities, they have cheered for it, but what is the result?From Songhu to Jinling and then to northern Jiangsu, the iron hooves of the Japanese army approached, and their homes were gone. Those who wanted to keep their homes were slaughtered by the Japanese. The peak of human soldiers is still approaching step by step, where can they escape, is the southwest full of mountains?Or the south facing the sea?

Yes, the war that lasted for nearly a year almost destroyed the hope of the refugees who could not afford three meals and had no shelter. For them, the so-called great victory was more practical than giving them a meal of porridge.

War is like endless darkness, and people who make way for it dare not imagine when the dawn will come.

However, after all, there are still some people who live in the dark, but still yearn for the light.

Otherwise, this nation will fall into darkness forever!
"A zebra, kidnappers, come and see, the kidnappers in the second war zone are really strong! Not to mention smashing the siege of Little Japan's heavy troops, they also killed a mixed brigade of Little Japan. The most amazing thing is that they were still alive. I lost a major general brigade commander." A native of Jiangxia exclaimed like a thunderclap, and finally there was a trace of emotion in the eyes of the already numb refugees.

That emotion is called surprise.

The previous victory propaganda has always only said that our army fought the enemy bravely in this battle, and how many enemies were wiped out, but in the end, our army retreated victoriously, and a large area of ​​land was reduced to enemy-occupied areas. Not to mention a brigade, but still capture an enemy major general alive?
Does this mean that the battlefield situation has changed?

If people want to live, they must have something to look forward to. Refugees who fled thousands of miles to Jiangxia never want to return to their hometown. Turning the tide of the war is their greatest hope.

Yes, in the hearts of these Chinese people, it is even more shocking to win a battle without capturing an enemy general alive.

Because, since the start of the war in July last year, China has already lost many generals, but there are very few Japanese troops, let alone captured alive, which is the first time in history.

The entire dead street came alive because of the voice of this Jiangxia native.

People surrounded those who had newspapers in their hands, begging them to read about the news about the battlefield that was at least a thousand kilometers away from them.

And the senior officials of the Second Theater Command and the Military and Political Department who had withdrawn to the opposite side of the Yellow River also had smiles on their faces at this time.

The annihilation of the Second Mixed Brigade was judged to be a matter of time two days ago, but what these senior generals did not expect was that in addition to killing thousands of Japanese invaders, they could also capture the second mixed brigade. The head of the team is Yamamoto.

Not to mention, when the 17th Division and 104th Division, which were repaired in the mountains, began to march towards the No.80 Army and the 16th Division's combat area, the Japanese army finally couldn't hold back. On the morning of June 6, they began to gradually withdraw their troops to the rear. By the next day, according to reconnaissance, most of the main force of the Japanese army had retreated, and it was basically possible to declare that the defense of southeast Shanxi had ended in victory.

However, the Shanxi old man, who had always wanted to prove himself, became more cautious this time. He insisted on waiting for another day to confirm that all three Japanese armies were retreating, and then sent a report to the Military and Political Department at dusk on June 6.

Therefore, the Ministry of Military and Political Affairs concocted articles overnight, requiring all domestic newspapers and radio stations to announce the good news of victory in the Southeast Shanxi Campaign to the whole country in the early morning of the second day.

Although, the two sides invested no more than 20 troops in this battle, and it lasted only half a month. Compared with the previous large-scale battles such as the Battle of Songhu, the Battle of Jinling, and the Battle of Xuzhou, where both sides invested hundreds of thousands or even millions of troops and fought fiercely for several months , is a small battle.

However, this battle is related to whether Jin Province will not be fully occupied by the Japanese army, whether the last barrier in northern China can be successfully defended, and even whether the Guanzhong Plain and the southwestern key areas will not be threatened. It is extremely important in a strategic sense.

In addition, the capture of Major General Yamashita, the commander of the Second Mixed Brigade, was a blow to the Japanese North China Front Army.

Thinking with your ass, you all know how uncomfortable Shan Shanyuan, the new commander of the North China Front Army and leading this battle, is sitting on pins and needles.

In a moment of excitement, a certain boss even sent a congratulatory message to the Shanxi old man who was the commander of the second theater and the boss of the [-]th Army overnight, praising the two of them for their excellent coordination and command in the southeast Shanxi campaign. Promise that they will personally award the Blue Sky Medal to both of them.

You know, those two were once the thorn in the side of the boss, the kind who wanted to kill them quickly, but now they have to go to award the precious medal in person, which shows how important the victory of this battle is to the principal.

It was like a shot in the arm for a dying person!Even more exciting than the victory in the Taierzhuang War.

The biggest factor is that the unlucky boy Yamashita was captured alive.

This actually all stemmed from that 5VS48 bloody battle!
Hammer and Kuaiguai killed the last two Japanese infantrymen, but in fact there were still four Japanese grenadiers in the distance. As a rule, as long as the four Japanese grenadiers with a few grenades still had the courage to blast out With those few grenades, they can definitely become the final victors of this battlefield.

Unfortunately, after they watched a pig and a dog crazily attack the last two infantrymen of their side and succeeded, the last trace of courage disappeared.

They ran away, even ignoring the brigade commander who was on the stretcher behind the stone.

Of course, let them blow the head of the unconscious brigade commander to show their loyalty to His Majesty the emperor with a bullet-throwing bullet. A few soldiers who are no higher than the rank of sergeant would absolutely dare not.

Then, the galloping Chinese infantry took full control of the battlefield, and sent two three-man teams to pursue the last remnants of the Japanese army who jumped into the forest in sight.

For Wei Donglai at that time, all his thoughts were on how to rescue the three soldiers on his side. He would also pay attention to a few little devils who escaped, and sent soldiers to chase them down. It was just to prevent the Japanese army from killing them. It would be embarrassing for a carbine to give this side a cold shot.

The soldiers who searched the Japanese positions soon found Yamashita lying on a stretcher. Although Yamashita was the head of the brigade, he was not wearing his woolen major general uniform at all after being seriously injured, and his face was even more unsightly. It might also say 'I am a major general of the army'. Naturally, the Chinese soldiers don't know who this guy is, but at this time the Japanese are still using a stretcher to carry him up, so everyone knows that this guy's status will never be low.

Wei Donglai and the second lieutenant of the army had heartbeats and breathing because the health soldiers rescued Tudou and Yang Bicheng. They were in a good mood and did not take this Japanese "big man" who was seriously injured and unconscious as a sacrifice. Otherwise, Yamashita Wen has a 90.00% chance of being slaughtered directly by a group of angry Chinese soldiers.

At that time, not to mention that there was nothing to prove that he was a major general of the army, even if he held up his military officer certificate and said that he was willing to scold his majesty the emperor in public, he would probably be cut off by the Chinese soldiers and put in front of the brothers who died in battle as a sacrifice product.

In a sense, Shan Xiaxia may have to thank the two Chinese medical soldiers for saving the lives of the two Chinese soldiers and indirectly helping him prolong his life.

In order to find out the identity of this 'big man', Wei Donglai rarely asked the two infantry squad leaders who led the team into the mountain to stay alive.

The few Japanese grenadiers who fled into the mountains didn't even have guns. What's more, there was a dog and a pig in the Chinese search team.

The wild boar once again showed the officers and soldiers of the Four Elements Regiment that adopting it is not just because of its ability to bite people, its sense of smell is even stronger than the hammer that unlocked the gene of the ancestors.

There was almost no detour, and he led a few soldiers straight to the Japanese hideout. The Japanese grenadier who was forced to die took the risk and hung himself under a cliff. It is not known whether a rock the size of a basin can come up. The most advanced method of 'hide and seek' even the soldiers of the Four Elements Regiment from Orion were dumbfounded.

It's all so whimsical and going all out, the poor Japanese child still didn't expect that the other party had a wild boar with a sharper nose than a dog to help him out, and he was captured alive.

The surviving Japanese infantry could only bet on the promise of the Chinese not to kill him. Naturally, Yamashita's identity was exposed. Tang Dao, who was rushing to the mountain with a medical company and military doctor, received the news that surprised him.

Yes, Tang Dao was only surprised, not happy. Two of his soldiers were still fighting against the god of death. A mere Japanese army major general deserved his smile?
Under Tang Dao's behest, Shan Xiawen, who was seriously injured, was re-bandaged and given medicine, but the operation was out of the question. In Tang Dao's words: "What's so great about a little devil major general, no matter how important it is, there is me." The lives of the brothers of the Four Elements Group are important?"

The three military doctors who accompanied Tang Dao into the mountain performed operations on Tudou and Yang Bicheng on the spot. For this reason, the entire first battalion selected 30 strong and strong men to donate blood to the two men, and successfully rescued them from the hand of death. pull back.

But Yamashita was not so lucky. Not only did he not have an operation, but his hands and feet were tied to a stretcher, and gauze was stuffed in his mouth.

The devil can even play that kind of cruel belly-cutting. It is nothing new to tear open the intestines from the abdominal wound with his own hands. It is even more pediatrics to kill himself by biting his tongue.

It was Ye Chenghuan, the director of the political department, who rushed over with a cavalry squad on flying horses when he heard about it, took out the gauze from the mouth of 'Taihang Zhutouwen', and arranged for four people to watch him 24 hours a day. It can be regarded as allowing Shanwen to continue his life, so that he will not be suffocated to death.

Compared to Tang Tuanzuo, who didn't take it very seriously, Ye Chenghuan knew how important it was to the Chinese army or the Chinese people to capture a Japanese general at this time, and it was even stronger than annihilating an infantry brigade. many.

Didn't you see that when Brigadier Cheng Da heard about this, he immediately dropped everything at hand and arrived with a platoon of guards?Moreover, in order to prevent Tang Dao from causing trouble, he also specially brought two captive Japanese lieutenants to confirm.

The Four Elements Regiment is currently short of food, and the 683rd Brigade is not short of food now. The number of captured Japanese officers and soldiers is as high as 120. The only regret is that there are no junior officers.

Those mid-level officers of the Japanese army were not only stubborn, but they also knew in their hearts that the Chinese would settle accounts after the autumn. After being identified, the possibility of being executed by shooting is greater than 90.00%. It is better to die on the battlefield, so as to gain a reputation and avoid implicating the family members in China.

Although the two lieutenant-level officers are not high enough to see Yamashita, the high-ranking brigade commander, Yamashita's appearance is still recognizable, even though his face is a little swollen due to the injury, especially one of them is still the first lieutenant. The Infantry Brigade belonged to the hard-core unit of the Second Mixed Brigade, Zhongshan Xiashita, and they would not forget Yamashita's unlucky appearance.

Originally thinking that I gave up the honor of the Imperial Army in order to survive and became a prisoner of the Chinese, the two Japanese lieutenants were still a little disheartened, but now that even the brigade commander has been captured by the Chinese, so be careful. coming.

If they can survive, they can tell those compatriots that they chose to live in vain in order to protect His Excellency the brigade commander, otherwise, they would have died in battle long ago.

To put it bluntly, at this time, Yamashita became the reason for the two Japanese officers to persuade themselves to continue to live well. That was not an honest identification, even if it was not, they would like to say that it was.

The news was uploaded layer by layer in this way, capturing the top secret information of Shan Xia, the major general of the second mixed brigade, and delighting the boss of the [-]th Army and the old man from Shanxi who was hundreds of miles away. Bowl of rice.

"Immediately order the Jindongnan Headquarters to send that even, yes, Shanxia to Linfen after careful treatment. He must be alive." The Shanxi old man ordered immediately. "By the way, this information is strictly confidential. If anyone spreads it, kill it!"

This guy is shrewd to the core, don't look at him as a stingy guy, but his brain is turning very fast, he didn't specify that he should be sent by the four-line regiment, but by the Jindongnan Command, which means that he will receive [-] The favor of the boss of the group army commanding Fang's victory in this battle is not only credited to the Sixing regiment, but also to his [-]th group army.

After all, in the battle of Changle Village, the [-]th Group Army produced the most elite infantry brigade under its command.

And let's go!This guy really doesn't really want to see Tang Dao. The last time he came to Fen, don't look at Tang Tuanzuo's consumption and earn a lot for the old man, but Tang Dao took advantage of the information gap to go back to tens of thousands of oceans in a reasonable and legal way. The old Shanxi man still remembers it all the time!
This is the temperament of the old man from Shanxi. It is fine to sleep with his wife, but if you take money out of his pocket, then really, I will remember your baby forever!

Thinking about Tang Dao's "greedy" look of asking for money and supplies in a reasonable and legal way by sending Shanwen to the headquarters, the old man in Shanxi felt a pain in his head.

It's better not to see this guy!
It is precisely for this reason that the old man from Shanxi turned to give the [-]th Army the great credit. Otherwise, the [-]th Army's Eastern Expedition in the first two years almost didn't knock out all the shit from the old man from Shanxi' Black history', Shanxi old man would take care of it like this?

Anyway, if you have to choose between the person who beat you and the person who has stolen your money, the old man in Shanxi will instinctively choose the former.

The majestic king of Jin Province, just like this, when Tang Dao knew about this little Jiujiu, he couldn't help crying and laughing.

Of course, the Shanxi old man underestimated the mind of the boss of the [-]th Army Group. Since the commander of the war zone gave him the decision to send the Japanese major general prisoners, he can naturally designate who will send them.

What's more terrible is that the Shanxi old man underestimated the generals of the friendly army, but overestimated the level of secrecy of his own headquarters.

In the afternoon, the headquarters of the second war zone received the news from the headquarters of the southeast Shanxi war zone, and roars erupted in the quiet courtyard of Pingbei City when the lights were just on.

"Damn Yamashita, not only the stupidity caused the elites of the empire to be wiped out, but also the courage to be loyal to the emperor and His Majesty the emperor was lost, which shamed the imperial army!"

After receiving this information, the army general, who had been a minister of the army and was an extremely human minister, lost his composure completely, and kept swearing like a trapped animal in the quiet courtyard.

The reason why this man lost his composure was that this was the third heavy hammer he had suffered in the past few days. The Chinese hammered this hammer harder than the previous one, and the bad one was just like meeting Li Yuanba.

From the moment when the Second Mixed Brigade was surrounded and more than a dozen fighter planes were shot down by the Army Aviation for support, the Japanese Army General knew that the defeat of the Shanxi Southeast Campaign led and initiated by him was a foregone conclusion.

The worst-case scenario is that most of the main force of the Second Mixed Brigade is broken. He had already decided on the most suitable candidate to take the blame last night, and drafted a telegram for this. The various units of the front army in the southeastern mountainous area withdrew in an orderly manner to avoid greater losses.

But Yamashita's accidental capture still greatly exceeded his bottom line.It wasn't that he had been immersed in the officialdom for many years and still had a bit of city power, this one was enough to make him spit out a basin of blood, if so, the dizzying and staring eyes were the true portrayal of him after receiving the information.

Don't talk about scolding Shanwen, if Shanwen was here, he would have been hacked by him with a knife, chopped into meat sauce and fed to the dogs.

The intelligence department has confirmed that the incident is confirmed to be correct. It was sent out by the highest-level spy who was not even activated when the battle of Harajo was launched.

Moreover, I believe that it will not be long before the Chinese side will announce this important information.

After all, for the Chinese side, which has been retreating step by step in strategic defense, it is a rare record that can be achieved.

The Chinese side is very happy, which means that the Japanese side is particularly uncomfortable. This is not an offense, and both sides are happy.

For Shan Shanyuan at this time, the evil consequences have already occurred. What he, the number one leader of the North China Front Army, has to do is to minimize the adverse impact of this incident.

Otherwise, a certain veteran lieutenant general whom he pushed out to take the blame may not be able to stop the turbulent public opinion from the country, even if His Majesty the Emperor supports him again.

After a long time, the furious Shan Shanyuan finally regained his composure.

"Let Chief of Staff Saburo Okabe come to see me!" The cold eyes of the commander of the Japanese North China Front Army sitting under the tree were like two will-o'-the-wisps under the dim light.
