Rise from eight hundred.

At 9:16 pm on September [-]th, Saburo Okabe left Baoding, where he was sitting, and returned to Pingbei City!
It's not because the Battle of Jindong has been completely corrupted, and there is no need for him, a frontline commander, to stay in Baoding City anymore, but because nearly 3 Chinese troops have already approached Shimen City, which is only 150 kilometers away from Baoding City. It can arrive in two days.

In the Battle of Jindong, the Japanese North China Front Army had already killed a division commander-level lieutenant general and a brigade commander-level major general. If another front army chief-of-staff-level lieutenant general was lost, it could be said that the North China Front Army was the only one remaining. All the loincloths were torn off.

In Shimen, there are only 3500 defenders, of which 2200 are heavy soldiers, engineers, and medical soldiers. The regular infantry has only one fully organized infantry brigade.

To be precise, there is also an infantry brigade of the North China Security Army with 4500 people, but both China and Japan have tacitly ignored this infantry brigade, which is usually only responsible for maintaining law and order.

The so-called North China Security Army is the predecessor of the future "Imperial Association Army".

At this time, the North China Security Army was not as large as two years later, with only three infantry brigades and two independent regiments.

In order to prevent this group of captive soldiers and a large number of landlords and merchants who have defected to the army from turning back, an infantry company is often equipped with 3 light machine guns, and a battalion is equipped with 3 heavy machine guns. Mention it!
And the Chinese army, which did not intend to cover up its whereabouts at all, only relied on the visual inspection of Japanese pilots who dispatched five reconnaissance planes in one afternoon, and there were as many as three infantry divisions!

Not to mention that it will take a few days for the two infantry regiments assembled by the North China Front Army Command to arrive at Shimen, even if they come, so what?The 18th Division and the 20st Division of the [-]th Division, which are still in the direction of HD, don’t say they haven’t gotten rid of the stalking of the two Chinese infantry divisions at the moment, even if they return to Shimen, they are probably the kind of people who can’t keep up with the heat.

The Chinese have already sent a small group of troops to destroy the railway from Shimen to HD, and even if there is a train, they did not say that the division dared to take the train to the battlefield. Today is different from the past, so don’t run and be sent to the sky by explosives .

In addition to these, the Japanese army originally had a force available, that is, the remnants of the 21st Division that retreated into the mountains and wanted to retreat to Shimen!

As a result, Nagano Kameichiro, who hid in the mountains, was unable to turn on his phone, and thousands of people seemed to have disappeared, and they did not appear on the North China Plain at all.

Good guy, this is obviously completely rotten, no matter how much you fight outside, I will stay in the mountains, and when there is no food, we will come out again.

This is indeed the case, but the word "turtle" in the name of Major General Nagano Kameichiro is indeed not for nothing. The 21st Division did not show up until the sixth day after the entire Battle of Jindong and even the Battle of Shimen!
"In the mountains, the field radio station can't receive and send signals! Moreover, the Chinese guide is so bad that the army lost its way in the mountains. It took a lot of hard work to find the correct way out of the mountains!" Nagano Kameichiro, who walked out of the mountains, faced the front army headquarters The questioning gave such a reason that it is difficult for people to convict him even though they knew he was talking about Shakiba.

In the end, Nagano Kameichiro was dismissed from all positions and sent back to his country just because of his poor command before the war.

As for the court-martial, the major general of the Japanese army stayed in the quiet courtyard in Shanshanyuan for a full hour, and then there was nothing else.

The responsibility for the defeat, if there is a need to bear it, then the head of the Lieutenant General of the dead ghost and the general who planned all this are bigger than him. If you don't tear up that face at this time, you still have to keep it for the Chinese New Year!
Don't think that the Japanese are all idiots. When the superior gives an order, they will slash their stomachs with a knife in their pockets!
It's either that you have no background and don't blame your boss and don't seek success, or your brain is really not very good, but there are people behind Nagano Kameichiro. If you don't let me live, then I won't let you have more Comfortable, if it doesn't kill you, it can drag you into the water and disgust you for several years.

Compromising, finding a point that is acceptable to both parties, is the only thing Shan Shanyuan, who has already lost face, can do.

As for the ghosts of the 39th Infantry Brigade, it can only be said that the dead are gone!
mean?hehe!It can only be said that despicableness is the passport of the despicable!
Even the Asahi Shimbun, the largest newspaper on the island of Japan, only said that the Chinese army attacked Shimen by surprise and caused certain losses, and did not mention the casualties in the Battle of Eastern Jin.

Even though the Chinese side has been overwhelmingly promoting the victory of the Battle of Jindong, and even displayed the body of Yoshito Takagi who was killed and the general's sword identified by Japanese prisoners of war, the Asahi Shimbun seems to have never heard of it.

There is no way, there is too much involved in it, Shan Shanyuan is the commander of the North China Front Army handpicked by His Majesty the Emperor, and he is going to wipe the ass of the unlucky boy Shroud in the room, so he knows that his butt wipe is actually sandpaper, Wipe the empire's ass until the hemorrhoids almost fall off, what a good brother of His Majesty the Emperor!
Not much to say, let's talk about Shimen.

The Chinese army's soldiers are extremely fast. It took only 6 hours to march more than 40 kilometers, and the soldiers approached Shimen City. Since they got the news at noon, everyone knew that Shimen could no longer be defended.

But the desperate Saburo Okabe still wants to work harder. There are 3500 people there anyway, and there are tens of thousands of Chinese as shields in the danger of the city. Maybe it can last for three to five days, and the reinforcements gathered by the front army can arrive. .

But at 2 o'clock in the afternoon, when the Japanese reconnaissance plane reported that the number of Chinese troops had exceeded 2 infantry divisions, Saburo Okabe's illusions were completely shattered, but it was impossible to order the defenders of Shimen to evacuate at this time.

The vanguard of the Chinese army had already arrived at the outskirts of Shimen. If the defenders wanted to escape, they would die sooner if they were dragged in the wilderness.

Only a part can be withdrawn first, and the time left for the Japanese army in Shimen is less than 2 hours!

The first to be allowed to evacuate were the medical staff and wounded soldiers in the field hospital, and a special train that stayed on the platform was their last vehicle to escape from the doomed battlefield.

At this time, the Japanese army showed enough courage. They silently watched the doctors and nurses throw the wounded soldiers on the stretchers into the tank trucks, and they were still trying their best to maintain the order of the chaotic platform.

In fact, the scene was very tragic, despite the fact that this special train finally successfully carried 500 medical soldiers and nearly 3000 wounded soldiers to leave Shimen, which was about to be conquered.

But you must know that as the logistics base of the front line in Eastern Shanxi, Shimen accepted all the wounded soldiers of the 21st Division and the 39th Infantry Brigade, a total of more than 5000!

But a train can't carry so many people, even if the stretchers are thrown away, the wounded soldiers are crowded together like cargo, and the medical soldiers are even hung outside the train like Ah San, there are still a lot of wounded Soldiers can't fit in.

The Japanese had to make a choice, just like the Chinese army retreated on the Songhu battlefield, if they wanted more people to live, they had to leave those with a lower chance of survival.

More than 1800 seriously wounded soldiers were abandoned on the platform or in the field around the special train. The abandoned wounded soldiers either begged their colleagues to take them away, or cried out for injustice with what little energy they had, and the howls rang through the wilderness !

And more, it is numbness, numbness watching oneself being abandoned, watching the train spewing black smoke and rolling the heavy axle, driving away!

This is the fate of the little people, no matter in that era, no matter whether they are strong or weak, once the crisis comes, you will find that fate has never been in your own hands!
All your efforts are just what you think!

In fact, they are not unwilling, it's just that the sorrow staged by the Chinese army has been repeated on them.

And this is only a thousand people. After a few years, hundreds of thousands of the Kwantung Army were captured and transported to the Siberian ice sheet, and 20 people were trapped in the Australian jungle.

God, there really is reincarnation, this is just a small rehearsal!
But this is just the prelude to this tragedy!
"Baga! These cowards, the city has not yet fallen, and they are so crying to disturb our army!" A Japanese major who was standing in the duty room on the side of the platform turned livid due to the shocking cries. "Go and shut them up!"

"Your Excellency Hetian, what if they don't listen?" a captain asked tremblingly.

Now the supreme commander of the entire Shimen is the commander of the Infantry Brigade, which belongs to the 40th Infantry Brigade. He can dominate the life and death of the people in the city, at least before the Chinese capture the city.

"Don't listen? Bastards, are the guns in your hands rolling pins? How did you shut up the Chinese then, and how do you shut them up now!" Kawata Katoro looked at the Japanese captain with incomparably ferocious eyes.

"Do you think we have manpower or time to take care of them now? Or, do you think the Chinese who invaded the city will waste food because of them?
Give them the guns, the warriors of the empire, even if they die, they shouldn't die cowardly!If you lose the strength to pull the trigger, help them"

Within 10 minutes of the train evacuating the wounded, gunshots rang out on the platform!

Soon, everything fell silent, deathly silent!

The corpses of wounded soldiers were scattered all over the place, which shocked the Chinese troops who invaded Shimen. Tantai Mingyue disclosed the incident in the newspaper of the Second War Zone, and condemned the brutal nature of the Japanese invaders.

However, the Japanese North China Front Army refused to admit their death. Even if the wounded basically died of Japanese bullets, they all bit back, thinking that the Chinese army killed them.

On the Chinese side, Kobayashi Koichi, who had become a second lieutenant of the Allied Army, stood up and testified, proving that before the Chinese army entered the city, those wounded soldiers who had no time to evacuate were dead, stiff and covered with corpse spots.

The two sides came and went, arguing for several months, and the Japanese infantry who survived the Shimen Battle after the war did not disclose the truth.

The whole of Japan is silent!

Just like what the soldier said, in fact, from that moment on, he knew that this so-called battle of the empire was going to be lost.

Because, he knows that in the eyes of his chief, all his value is only in fighting his opponents. Once he loses the strength to hold a gun, he will be regarded as worthless and discarded like a shoe!

And in that poor home on the island, even if he didn’t catch a single fish when he went out to sea, his wife would feel sorry for him to wipe the sweat off his forehead and bring him dry clothes. His value is not just because he is useful , and love!
But what is the underlying logic of the war launched by the empire?The fisherman, who also did not go to school, began to think about all this at that moment, which also gave him the idea of ​​escaping from this battlefield and returning to the island alive.

Therefore, when the battle began, the Japanese infantryman who had begun to think quietly left the battlefield and became one of the few survivors in this battle.

But this train, the only truck that could escape, stimulated not only the Japanese soldiers at the bottom, but also another group of people.

In a small courtyard in Shimen City!

A man with a full face was standing at the window staring at the sky in a daze.

"Brigadier, the brothers at the station just ran over to report that the Japanese have escaped, what should we do?" a man with a sharp face and monkey cheeks in the uniform of a lieutenant colonel behind him asked.

"What should I do? Cold salad!" The man turned back, his eyes full of ferocity.

"Damn it, Little Japan is not a good thing. At three o'clock, it sends a power to tell me to guard Shimen. Two days later, reinforcements will arrive, and at four o'clock, the evacuation of the field hospital and wounded soldiers will begin. What the hell? What is it if you don’t want us to be scapegoats?”

"Then we, shall we?" The sharp-faced monkey-cheeked man swallowed hard.

"Being your mother! Why, Little Japan paid you the lieutenant colonel's salary for half a year, and you really treat them like your father!" The man looked at this idiot under him with a hostile expression.

"No way! Brigadier, you mean we should run away too!" The man with the pointed face and monkey cheeks immediately reacted and said quickly.

"Run away, sister! You should think carefully before speaking!"

The military ranks of the security forces were copied directly from Manchuria. A lieutenant colonel in an infantry brigade is already considered a very high military rank. As a result, he was born as a butcher and later relied on Liu Zhuangfei, the bandit leader who took Brother No. 500 to join the Japanese. Want to pull out a gun and kill this guy.

I don't know how I fell in love with this idiot back then, and let him be my personal adjutant.

"I can't fight and I can't win, and I can't run and run, what should I do!" The sharp-faced monkey-cheeked man started to circle his eyes, as if he was about to be crippled by his brigade commander.

"You're good, the other side called, do you think this site belongs to them? Why don't you just grab a ticket and leave? Sooner or later, this site will be owned by the Japanese.

If the Japanese knew that we had run away, they would have killed our whole family!That little wife of yours who hides in a small alley in Pingbei City has to take advantage of others. Seeing that his adjutant was a little confused, Liu Zhuangfei could only explain patiently.

"But if we stay here, we can only die! Brigadier, you know, it's okay for the guys on the other side to catch the Japanese. Last time, they exchanged prisoners of war, but they basically died when they caught us. It's settled!" The sharp-faced monkey-cheeked man obviously didn't have much feeling for his family, but he still took himself very seriously.

In the past half a year since the fall of North China, it does not mean that the Japanese and the security forces have ruled the world. There are many anti-Japanese forces active in the countryside and countryside.

Not to mention that the Japanese infantry could not be alone outside the city, even inside the city, assassinations occurred from time to time.

And the ones with the highest risk factor are really not the Japanese, but those guys who have taken refuge in the Japanese and are called the second devils. Those who appear under the name of the "rape squad" will stare at them at the cost of time and life. They, if you can't do it once, come twice or three times or even more. A brigade commander like Liu Zhuangfei has been assassinated twice in restaurants and theaters even though there are never less than 15 guards around him!
It is so dangerous on a site heavily guarded by the Japanese, not to mention falling into the hands of Chinese soldiers, maybe even needless to say what sentence was pronounced, it collapsed even if they raised their hands.

The bigger the official, the faster the death!If the photo is not done well, it can still be on the news, but it is just a photo after death!

"Feterian's words, it's up to you, I don't know! If I was caught by the other side, I don't know if I was lit by a sky lantern. Your son must have had his head chopped off." The eyes of Liu Zhuangfei, who was born as a bandit leader, also flickered frightened.

The sharp-faced monkey-cheeked man couldn't help but clamp his legs, otherwise, he was afraid that the shit would come out.

"Go and call me the commander of the 3rd Battalion of the [-]st Regiment. He usually has some contact with the people over there. Ask him what he can do!"

Husband and wife are birds in the same forest, they fly separately when disaster strikes!Let alone the security forces and the Japanese, even if they are, they are the same kind of bed and dream!
At this time, being alive is more important than anything else.

Five o'clock in the afternoon!The shadow of Shimen City Wall has appeared in Tang Dao's telescope.

The Four Elements Regiment Headquarters had already arrived at an area less than 1500 meters from the east gate of Shimen as early as [-] pm!

The two infantry battalions of the Four Elements Regiment, the main force of the artillery battalion and the other 7 infantry regiments, 70.00% have arrived at the scheduled battlefield. Tang Dao, who is the deputy director of the Jindong frontline staff department, only needs to suggest to Commander Zhao, who is the commander in chief of the Shimen frontline, It is already possible to officially launch an attack on Shimen!
The nearly 1.4 infantry soldiers approaching the city did not dig trenches, but started repairing on the spot, and only waited for an order to start the whole army assault.

The general situation of the defenders in Shimen was reported by the intelligence personnel in the city two days ago.

Not to mention charging with guns under the cover of artillery fire, more than 2 people drowned less than 3000 Japanese defenders even with a mouthful of saliva.

Shimen has been surrounded on three sides, leaving only one side for a feint attack!

Siege three to one, the classic style of siege!

Even if the opponent knows the danger, they will flee to this side driven by luck.

No one can overcome human nature!
But Tang Dao was uncharacteristically, he didn't have the decisiveness to cut the mess quickly, but signaled to wait.

He was waiting for the intelligence agents in the city to send out the information about the Japanese army's mobilization in the city at this time. He wanted to know whether the Japanese army's morale had been disturbed, and the situation of the Chinese residential area in Shimen.

Nearly [-] troops marched swaggeringly under the eyes of Japanese reconnaissance planes in broad daylight. Do you think this is just for running fast?

This is equivalent to sending a signal to the sheep, Lao Tzu, this tiger is coming, you can either run or wait to be eaten!
In this battle of Eastern Jin, the Chinese army had already lost a lot, and Tang Dao didn't want to increase the loss again because of this city.

What the bosses above want is just a symbol of regaining lost ground!

What Tang Dao wants is only the massive supplies in the city!
Weihe!

You haven't started the war yet, I'll scare you to death!
As Ye Chenghuan ran over and whispered in his ear, a smile appeared on Tang Dao's face!

No, someone is scared!
