Bright Sword's Bloody War of Resistance

Chapter 68 Kawamura Kaoru
The march of the New Second Regiment meandered for four or five miles. Zhou Weihan and Zhao Gang sat in a carriage and listened to the post-war report.

Brigadier Nobuzhe Sakata wants to hand it over to the headquarters, how to deal with it depends on the decision of the headquarters.

"Hey, regiment leader and political commissar, in addition to weapons and equipment, they also captured seven little devil military doctors and [-] health workers. I also packed all the medicines. Don't worry, no one else will know." Li Daben asked for credit and reward Said.

As soon as Zhao Gang heard what Li Daben said, his complexion changed: "Why are you talking about such an important matter now? Lao Zhou, this is not a trivial matter, especially these military doctors, who are urgently needed by our Eighth Route Army. This time In the battle with the Sakata Regiment, the number of regiments has been severely reduced, and it is a good time to come in handy."

"Old Zhao, I know you have a high level of ideological consciousness, but not all of these little devil military doctors are good. Not all of them are like Dr. Takeda. These people are at your disposal." Zhou Weihan said slowly.

"Li Daben, did you see that? Be careful when doing things in the future, or wait for our political commissar Zhao to give you an ideological and political class, take out half of the medicine, and send it to the brigade immediately." Zhou Weihan said to Li Daben .

Before Li Daben left, Zhu Dashan drove over with a few people.

"Regiment commander, political commissar, although our cavalry company didn't win battles, we arranged tasks for ourselves. No, we caught a big fish." Zhu Dashan said with a smile.

It turned out that Zhu Dashan's cavalry company was not assigned to a combat mission by Zhou Weihan. After Zhu Dashan went back to discuss, he simply dispersed the soldiers of the cavalry company around the periphery and was in charge of guarding. Unexpectedly, he really caught a big fish.

"The leader is still a big commander! Bring it here and show it to the head and political commissar." Zhu Dashan waved his hand and said, and several soldiers from the cavalry company escorted the five little devils up, and took three radio stations.

Zhou Weihan took a closer look, who else could it be if it wasn't Si Nei Ren?
"Damn it, Zhu Dashan, you are really capable!" Zhou Weihan laughed angrily.

"Temple Lord, you have suffered."

"Wow, Mr. Zhou, I didn't expect to see you again. I was caught by your men before I had gone far with them, and I was almost beaten to death." Si Neiren was shocked when he saw Zhou Weihan. With snot and tears, he cried to Zhou Weihan.

"Temple-kun, are you okay? Don't worry, I will send someone to take you back immediately, and I will absolutely guarantee your safety"

"Zhu Dashan, I will give you a chance to atone for your crimes, and send him safely to Wuyi territory." Zhou Weihan said to Zhu Dashan.

Zhu Dashan was also a little dazed at this time, he caught the little devil as a senior officer, he didn't give credit for it, he was scolded, and finally had to send him back.

"Head, what's the point? This bastard is a little devil." Zhu Dashan poked his neck and said, although he was a bit wild, he always obeyed orders.

"This is Sineiyong's younger brother. It is related to the secrets of our Eighth Route Army. I won't say much about it." Zhou Weihan whispered to Zhu Dashan.

Zhu Dashan had also heard about the cooperation between the New Second Regiment and Si Neiyong, so he patted his chest and said, "Regimental Leader, don't worry, I guarantee that he will be safely escorted to Wuyi."

After Zhu Dashan left, Li Daben acted as if he hadn't enjoyed watching the excitement. Zhou Weihan looked at the three radio stations on the ground and said, "Take two radio stations and send them to the brigade department. Get out of here."

On the same day, the New Second Regiment was stationed in Xihe Village, and Zhou Weihan contacted Si Neiyong in Wuyi by telegram.

"Sir, Eguchi Ying has also sent a telegram." Terauchi Yusuke took the telegram and took out the code book dedicated to contacting Zhou Weihan to translate it.

"Yo Xi, Mr. Zhou is ready to launch an attack on Xiaocaozhuang and Wangjiayu at nine o'clock tonight, and return to the station at three o'clock in the morning." Si Neiyong said happily to Si Nei Ren.

"General Shinozuka has sent telegrams many times asking me about the news of the Sakata Alliance, this time you can officially reply."

"Brother, what should I say? The Sakata Regiment was annihilated. As the chief of staff, I am also responsible."

"I'll talk to General Shinozuka. First of all, you need to talk to Chief of Staff Miyano." The two discussed for a while.

Zhou Weihan carried out military exercises in Wu'an and Wuyi as planned, but considering that there were still two elite brigades in the Fourth Independent Mixed Brigade, in order to avoid trouble, he simply returned to the station overnight.

That night, telegrams were sent from many strongholds in Wu'an and Wuyi, and the main force of the Eighth Route Army came to attack, with a large number of people, excellent weapons, and large-caliber mountain cannons.Fortunately, the top officials of the two places responded in a timely manner and personally led their troops to resist. The two sides fought "fiercely" until the early hours of the morning, each was injured, and the Eighth Route Army retreated.

"Yo Xi, the Eighth Route Army is vulnerable, and the Imperial Japanese Army is unstoppable." Terauchi Yong said in front of many officers under his command as he watched the new Second Regiment retreat in a hurry.

"Send a report to General Shinozuka immediately" after Terauchi Yusuke finished speaking, he called Watanabe and whispered beside him.

Shanxi First Army Headquarters.

"General Shinozuka, have you received a call from Takeyoshi?" Miyano Jun immediately went to Shinozuka Yoshio after receiving the telegram from Terauchi Jin.

"Wuyi's Si Nei bravely came to report that the Sakata Regiment was confirmed to be completely wiped out by the Eighth Route Army. At nine o'clock tonight, the main force of the Eighth Route Army launched a full-scale counterattack against Wuyi and Wu'an along the line. Fortunately, Si Nei Yong commanded properly and successfully repelled the Eighth Route Army." Xiaozuka Yi Nan said in a low tone.

"The Chief of Staff of the Fourth Independent Mixed Brigade Regiment Terauchihito just sent a report that Sakata Nobuzhe was captured alive by the Eighth Route Army, and the regiment flag was captured by the enemy. He led a small group of troops to fight bravely to regain the regiment flag, and now he has returned to Wuyi," Miyano Jun said. .

"Hachi, Sakata Nobutetsu deserves to die, and Terauchi Jin has the face to come back alive." Shinozuka Yoshio pulled out his command knife angrily and said, breaking the chair at once.

"Mr. Xiaozuka, be safe and don't be impatient. General Gangcun has been very concerned about the strategic arrangements of the Eleventh Army since he stepped down as the commander of the [-]th Army and became the commander of the North China Front Army. The strategy of mopping up the various ministries and the national army's armed forces behind enemy lines is to effectively support the battle against the national army's fifth theater."

"However, it seems that the sweep of our Shanxi First Army has basically failed. All the departments of the Eighth Route Army in the defense area have carried out tenacious resistance. Even the Jinsui Army in the west of Shanxi is uncharacteristically. None of the departments have achieved great results. Take the blame." As expected of the chief of staff, Miyano Toshi analyzed the current situation in detail.

"The problem of the Independent Fourth Mixed Brigade is particularly serious. Kaoru Kawamura, as the chief military officer, was involved in the Eighth Route Army's Nine Columns and failed to return to the rescue in time, leading to the annihilation of the entire Sakata United Army. He is mainly responsible." Good guy, Miyano Jun directly put the responsibility on Kawamura Kaoru.

"What about Jinuchi?" Yoshio Shinozuka asked dissatisfied.

"Terauchi Jin, who fought while sick and regained the alliance flag, can be said to have made meritorious service while sick, and should be rewarded greatly." Miyano Jun recalled the [-] yen promised by Terauchi Ren, and said plausibly, a typical double standard.

"Miyano-kun, although Terauchi Jin is a member of your staff system, don't go too far."

"Xiaozuka-kun, don't forget that although Terauchi Ren and Terauchi Yu are collateral descendants of the Terauchi family, they are nephews of the Terauchi General in terms of seniority, and the results of Terauchi Yusuke's battles in Wuyi have already reached the Terauchi General's ears. , it is said that the general praised him greatly."

"Well, I have to admit that what you said is very reasonable. I will report this matter to General Gangmura." Yoshio Shinozuka was speechless.

"Pass down the order to order Kaoru Kawamura to return to Wuyi immediately, be dismissed on the spot, and be escorted to Shanxi by Temple Ren." After some consideration, Shinozuka Yoshio said to the adjutant.
