Age of Rebirth

Yamaguchi ordered the troops to gather and retreat to the Fengtai garrison. This battle could not be fought. He never thought that a simple conflict, not even an encounter, would lead to such a result. Two artillery brigades, the whole army Annihilation, more than 3000 imperial soldiers, hated the battlefield, whose fault is this?Looking at the demoralized soldiers, Yamaguchi asked inwardly.

Yamaguchi did not expect that the Chinese army, which could only hide in the fortifications for defense, would suddenly show its ferocious and sharp teeth, and rush towards the Imperial Japanese Army who had already fought.

The overwhelming artillery fire turned the area where the Japanese army was assembled into a sea of ​​flames. The two troops that had been lurking on the flanks for a long time were like a pair of vices, biting fiercely at the Japanese army who was dizzy by the bombardment.

The independent division troops in the frontal position also left the fortifications, and rushed towards the Japanese army fiercely. The soldiers who had suffocated their strength, followed the bombing point of the artillery, and killed the Japanese army almost in an instant. [

Three heavy punches hit the Japanese army fiercely. Thousands of cavalrymen, like a red-hot bougie piercing through cheese, were killed and defeated by the Japanese army who had not yet recovered from the shelling. A unit, no matter how powerful it is, Tough, with a strong will to fight, he couldn't help but in the process of assembly, after being suddenly shelled, a large-scale cavalry charge.

The fighting will of the Japanese army was completely disintegrated, and they were beaten back to their original shape. Almost before they had time to fight back, the cavalry rushed in front of them, their sharp sabers flying, and the Japanese soldiers screamed and fell to the ground.

The charging troops encountered extremely weak resistance. The soldiers of the 29th Army Cavalry Brigade were not used to killing Japanese soldiers who had lost their ability to resist. The soldiers of the Independent Division did not have this habit. They were all disposed of neatly.

The soldiers of the cavalry brigade stuck out their tongues. The battle lasted for more than five hours, and more than 6000 Japanese soldiers died in the wilderness, staining the grassland on the Red Dam with blood.

The head of the Yamaguchi brigade fled with less than a squadron of soldiers. Hearing that the Yamaguchi brigade had suffered such a disastrous defeat and nearly wiped out the entire army, the commander of the Japanese North China Garrison, Tashiro Kanichiro, was extremely furious and flew to the area in person. Yamaguchi brigade, find out this matter.

Asking the head of Yamaguchi's brigade, which army in China was fighting him, Yamaguchi woke up. After fighting for a long time, he still didn't know which army and what number it was that brought him the disaster.

Yamaguchi can only answer based on his own measurements that the commander who almost ran away may be Song Zheyuan's troops of the 29th Army.

Tashiro slapped him with a big mouth, and his head was kicked by the donkey. Does Song Zheyuan's troops have such strong firepower and combat effectiveness?It is entirely possible to eat the two regiments of the imperial army at once, if it is a unit of an independent division.

Yamaguchi really didn't know the details, so he was beaten up in a daze. He couldn't even figure out who was the one who beat the person. He felt that he had neglected his duty and thought of committing suicide by caesarean section.

He was slapped soberly by Tashiro's big mouths again. In view of the command error of the commander of the Yamaguchi brigade, the soldiers of the imperial army of the two regiments were directly destroyed, and the military strength of the empire in North China was severely weakened.

In this regard, Major General Yamaguchi, the former head of the brigade, had an inescapable responsibility to immediately deprive him of all military positions, escort him back to the mainland, and accept a court-martial trial.

The high-level Japanese army kept this matter secret, and kept silent about it to the outside world. Even within the Japanese army, it was classified as top secret and could not be spread, so as not to shake the morale of the army. The hundred or so soldiers who escaped by chance received a stern warning Afterwards, they were formed into a separate unit and sent to remote areas to guard material warehouses and deal with those guns.

Tang Qiuli's test was completely correct. The Japanese army who had suffered such a big loss did not make a big fuss about it. Instead, it aroused Tang Qiuli's high vigilance. According to the character of the Japanese, there was no big move, and it didn't necessarily mean anything. Good thing, it can only show that their decision to go to war with China in an all-round way has not changed.

Only the baffled Commander Tashiro Wanichiro is worried about this matter. According to intelligence personnel, the main force of the Independent Division is besieging the bandits and Mr. Badarhu in Xiaowutai Mountain, and killing the two regiments of the Yamaguchi Brigade Soldiers, which army again?If it was said that the 29th Army did it, even if Tashiro was killed, he would not believe it.

Urgently assembled, with the commander's question, more than 1 Japanese soldiers rushed to the battlefield after a day and a night. On the battlefield, apart from the numerous pits, there was not even a shadow of the opponent.

The mutilated corpses of more than 6000 Japanese soldiers were neatly piled up on the grassland. About 60 corpses were one pile, and more than 1 corpses were presented in front of more than [-] Japanese soldiers. They were horrified and their throats were dry. , eyes straightened, cold sweat ran down the spine and flowed into the ditch.

The Japanese soldier with a complete body, his military uniform was stripped clean, and all the complete guns and ammunition were not left at all. The opponent not only cleaned the battlefield carefully, but also finished his criminal deeds, and then left calmly.

The Japanese troops who came here changed their careers to cremation and chemical engineering, and burned the corpses of the Japanese soldiers on the spot. The flames burned continuously for five days and five nights. There were too many corpses, and the choking smell did not disperse for a long time. The people in the village who were in the downwind were disturbed by the stench and couldn't sleep well, but they didn't know the source of the stench.

Tashiro, who received the report, had no direct evidence, but he believed that this was the work of the bloody Qiuli. In North China, there is no army with such a powerful destructive ability. It can only be an independent division. Devil force. [

But can this matter be publicly lodged with the Nanjing government?Tashiro's answer was no, and he remembered this blood feud first, and when the empire was ready, I, Tashiro, drank Tang Qiuli's head first, and Tashiro almost gritted his teeth.

After dealing with the mountain pass brigade, take away all the things you can bring. Although you have a lot of money and a strong family, Tang Qiuli has always advocated diligence and thrift in housekeeping, and learned to live austerely. Never waste anything that can be used, and transport it back to Huangya Cave In the base area, Zhang Quan and Wang Xu can be of great use.

He led his troops back to the Dongnuanquan area. The thousands of new recruits had sent a regiment of soldiers to escort them back to Huangya Cave, bringing back a large number of seized supplies.

The bandits and the Japanese army who had been besieged for eight or nine days had lost their use value. This bait allowed the Japanese army to take in twelve bombers and two regiment soldiers, which played a great role. Tang Qiuli was going to order Liu Tiehan to launch an attack.

Zhao Yuhe sent an urgent telegram, which was sent directly to Tang Qiuli by the Nanjing Military and Political Department. The major news media, as well as foreign news colleagues, formed a joint interview team and rushed to the battlefield to suppress the bandits to report on the spot. The joint interview reporter team, more than [-] people, have left Nanjing today by special plane, and will arrive in Peiping this evening. , Tang Qiuli, the head of the independent division, was asked to do a good job in reception.

Tang Qiuli was in a lot of trouble, and he was the big boss of the government. He was full and had nothing to do, so he came up with such a bad idea. Isn't this adding to the chaos?

If I kill more than 2 Japanese at one time and win a victory like the Taierzhuang victory, even if you come to [-] reporters, I will welcome with both hands, strengthening the prestige of our country and the military.

It's just more than 2 petty thieves, is it worth such a big publicity?As the saying goes, people are afraid of being famous and pigs are afraid of being strong, and it is difficult to live on the cusp of the storm. Among the reporters who come, there are not all those who have military and central command.

When the time comes, look, good guy, your independent division is fat and strong, with cannons like forests, 10 horses, and soldiers all like wolves and tigers. Suppressing bandits here is supposed to be the job of the local security team. What do you mean?Not working properly, or violating the leader's instructions?

When the time comes, I will send up the photos I have taken. The witnesses and evidences are all there. What can I say? I will set up camp and leave immediately to fight the Red Army in northern Shaanxi. What should I do?

Tang Qiuli slapped his forehead. This matter was the idea of ​​the big man in the government. The Ministry of Military and Political Affairs ordered it. He Yingqin couldn't be it, right?He immediately denied that Minister He, because of Yin Rugeng's affairs, had formed a relationship with himself, so he would not do the good thing of carrying the sedan chair as an independent teacher.

It can only be ordered by the Ministry of Military and Political Affairs, and it can only be the chairman of the committee, which also means sending your cronies to the field for inspection. The old man is so scheming that you can't refuse.

Yes, accept it!Tang Qiuli immediately sent a telegram to Liu Tiehan, asking him to send the Tongbatu Division of the Second Cavalry Brigade and most of the Special Operations Detachment to Beiping immediately to escort the joint reporter group to the Xiaowutai Mountain battlefield for on-the-spot interviews.

For this escort operation, Major General Tang Qiuquan, the leader of the special detachment, was the commander-in-chief, coordinating the various units, and taking full charge of this operation. Give these reporters enough face, and the independent division will send a general to personally protect you. The standard is high enough.

The security measures along the way must be strict to prevent accidents. If the bandits, on a whim, kidnapped these reporters and demanded ransom from themselves, then the joke would be big. Will they still have to mess around in North China in the future?

When the press corps arrived at the battlefield, the actions of the reporters were strictly controlled. The reason was that this place was close to the war zone, and the people surrounded were all bandits and desperadoes. For the sake of their own safety, they had no choice but to do so.

Define the interview routes and areas, and never allow them to see what they are not allowed to see. Get them back to Peiping as soon as possible. Those guns, cannons, etc., should be hidden. Like a thief.

At the end of the telegram, he sent a sentence to Liu Tiehan: "A good businessman hides his heart deeply, and a gentleman is as virtuous as he is." He believed that when Liu Tiehan read this sentence, he would understand his intentions and deal with the matter flawlessly. seam.

He led the troops and quietly drove back to Beiping. The news of Song Zheyuan's assassination was deliberately exaggerated by the Japanese. Rumors spread in Beiping city, and people were panicked. The 29th Army has not changed yet, and there are many discussions in private.

This mess in Peking has to be cleaned up by myself.
