Chapter 143 Shocking Soldiers Attack
Major General Xiaojun Jiang Bangxiong’s ability to be the brigade leader does not depend on his relationship position, but on his real skills.
When Xiaojun Jiang Bangxiong led a brigade to Lishui, five divisions of the national army could not stop it. On the contrary, they were all killed and abandoned their armor and fled to the mountains. Lishui was easily captured and then rushed south to conquer Wenzhou in one fell swoop and helped the Japanese Navy escape.
Now facing difficulties, Xiaojun Jiang Bangxiong judged the situation and decided to sacrifice a brigade to let the brigade continue to attack the special melee team, so as to take advantage of the darkness to lead the main force to quietly bypass the Shimen Cave and head straight to Lishui City.
In the view of Kojung-Jan Bangxiong, as long as he can capture Lishui City, he will win. Because the Nara Detachment on the north side will arrive soon, and the two armies will meet again, and then Xu Tu will eliminate the Chinese army in this area. Even if he cannot capture Lishui City, he can build fortifications near Lishui City and make long-term preparations. Anyway, the Nara Detachment will arrive at Lishui soon. As long as the Nara Detachment can reach Lishui, his Xiaojung-Jan will definitely get out of trouble.
The operation must be hidden and must be used while it is dark. As long as you can leave for an hour, Xiaojun Jiang Bangxiong believes that the mysterious Chinese army intercepted here will not be able to catch up with him.
Xiaojun Jiang Bangxiong reported to Shiro Sawada, commander of the 13th Army, that Shimen Cave was blocked by a mysterious army, and proposed to bypass the Shimen Cave and pounce on Lishui.
Shigeru Sawada replied with two words "Agree".
After obtaining the approval of the commander of the 13th Army Shigeru Sawada, Xiaojun Jiang Bangxiong immediately implemented the plan to quietly bypass Shimendong and attack Lishui City.
I couldn't walk the main road, so I could only walk the small road. Fortunately, when his brigade headed south, he fought a war with the Chinese army that blocked him in this area, and knew that there were several small roads that could bypass the Shimen Cave.
At the headquarters of the 13th Army of Longyou, Shigeru Sawada covered his eyes with his hands and was thinking, while Chief of Staff Geikikijiro stood in front of the map without moving.
The situation in southern Zhejiang is extremely serious. If the Xiaojunjiang Brigade is defeated by Zhang Junhao, its fate will eventually be destined to be wiped out.
That area is in the nest of a large Chinese army, where can we escape? Far water cannot quench near thirst. It will take two days for the Nara Detachment and Harada mixed brigade to arrive at the destination.
The Chief of Staff of the 13th Army, Gu Kikijiro, walked to Shigeru Sawada and said with a smile: "Commander, if Major General Kojune Bango can get out of trouble if he can bypass the Shimen Cave, you don't have to worry too much."
Shigeru Sawada sighed heavily and said, "I never thought that Zhang Junhao would be like a divine weapon, and he would arrive at the Shimen Cave overnight, without a trace."
Tanigu Jinjiro said: "If Zhang Junhao does this, Lishui will become an empty city. As long as General Xiaojunjiang Bangxiong can easily seize it, the situation will be reversed in an instant."
Shigeru Sawada asked in a low voice: "Do you think Xiaojun Jiang Bangxiong has the ability to get rid of Zhang Junhao?"
Tanigu Jinjiro was stunned and whispered: "Do you suspect there is a problem with General Kojune Bangxiong's strategy?"
Shiro Sawada shook his head and said, "There is no problem with General Xiaojunjiang Bangxiong's strategy, but we have no way to judge Zhang Junhao's response strategy. I am so worried that when Xiaojunjiang Bangxiong leads the team to evacuate, he will be attacked by Zhang Junhao!"
When Tanigu Kirijiro heard Shigeru Sawada, his face immediately became solemn. Tanigu Kirijiro admired Shigeru Sawada very much. He knew that since Shigeru Sawada was worried, there would inevitably be a major crisis.
Tanigu Jinjiro whispered: "Then I will send a telegram to General Xiaojune Bangxiong immediately, reminding him to be careful."
After Tanigu Jinjiro personally planned a telegram and handed it to a staff officer to send it to Shigeru Sawada, he said to Shigeru Sawada: "The reminder telegram will be sent soon, so be more at ease. We must believe that General Kosuke Bangho, who will definitely get rid of the crisis."
Shigeru Sawada nodded and said, "Okay! We can only remind you now that you can't do anything else. I'll ask you where Miss Mitsui Naruko is now?"
Tanigu Kishiro looked at the map and said loudly: "Mitsui Naiko only brought a radio station and five or six people. She walked the absolute mountain road and probably would be able to enter Lishui Castle immediately. If she couldn't enter, she would definitely send us a telegram."
Shigeru Sawada finally showed a smile on his face. He moved his eyes away and closed his eyes, saying, "Hurry up and contact Mitsui Naruko and ask her to reconnaise the situation in Lishui City. The key point is whether the team that blocked Xiaojun Jiang Bangxiong was the special melee team led by Zhang Junhao."
Tanigu Jinjiro nodded and said hi.
At around 7:30 pm, the main force of the Xiaojunjiang Brigade had assembled and evacuated in half an hour.
Five war horses dragged five mountain cannon carriages, lined up in front and back to prepare to leave. These mountain cannons Xiaojunjiang were not used to bomb the Shimendong Special Melee Team. If the mortars of the Special Melee Team did not quickly destroy all the mortars and infantry artillery of the Japanese brigade, Xiaojunjiang Bangxiong would definitely pull all the mountain cannons in front to bomb the Special Melee Team. Because the mortars of the Special Melee Team were particularly accurate, Xiaojunjiang Bangxiong was afraid that the mountain cannons would be destroyed by the Special Melee Team, so he did not use them.
Dozens of mules and donkeys were carrying equipment and ammunition, and there were long queues in front and back. More than 100 people in the cavalry squadron were riding on war horses in line. The engineers lined up behind the cavalry with equipment.
Two infantry brigades lead the way, and one brigade behind the hall, and the brigade headquarters is in front of the hall.
Major General Xiaojun Jiang Bangxiong rode his horse and used a telescope to observe the direction of the Shimen Cave. The gunshots were very dense, and there were fires of shells exploded from time to time.
The chief of staff ran over and asked loudly: "General, what should I do with the car?"
Xiaojun Jiang Bangxiong hung the telescope on his chest and shouted: "I exploded all the things I can't take away."
The Chief of Staff asked again: "What should I do with the comfort woman?"
Xiaojun Jiang Bangxiong sighed heavily and said, "They are all from Japan. Many of them are elite wives and daughters. They come with patriotic enthusiasm, with the purpose of improving the combat effectiveness of our team. Tell them that there is no car to sit and they can only walk. Please forgive me."
The chief of staff shouted yes and ran away.
After a while, a violent explosion sounded on the south side, and balls of fire rose into the sky.
Xiaojun Jiang Bangxiong looked at the south, two tears dripped from the corners of his eyes, his heart hurt so much, so painful!
Xiaojun Jiang Bangxiong raised his hand to look at his watch, waved his hand and said loudly: "Go away!"
The team drove westward in the darkness.
As soon as the order was issued, I suddenly heard dense gunshots and grenade explosions coming from the front. Xiaojun Jiang Bangxiong was so scared that he almost fell from the war horse.
Xiaojun Jiang Bangxiong shouted wildly: "What happened before?"
A correspondent arrived on a horse, rolled down and said loudly, "Report to the general, the team ahead seemed to be killing each other."
Xiaojun Jiang Bangxiong shouted wildly: "What? Did the enemy soldiers wear imperial uniforms and sneak into our team?"
The communication soldier shouted: "I don't know!"
Xiaojun Jiang Bangxiong roared: "Calendar quickly and clearly."
The chief of staff quickly ran to the Japanese soldiers carrying the walkie-phone, picked up the microphone, and dialed the phone with the captain in front.
The chief of staff asked loudly: "What the hell happened before?"
The captain shouted on the phone: "A team wearing imperial army uniforms sneaked into the imperial army. Many engineers were shot and killed by them. The cavalry was in chaos. We couldn't tell which one was the enemy and which one was our real imperial army."
Xiaojun Jiang Bangxiong grabbed the microphone and shouted: "Your troops will come back to rescue immediately! The enemy will definitely not have too many people. Hurry up and eliminate Zhi firmly for me."
The captain shouted yes.
Xiaojun Jiang Bangxiong looked at the West, and the war horses moved back and forth. What kind of team is this? Why is there such a way to fight?
The situation is unknown, Xiaojun Jiang Bangxiong once again doesn’t know what to do.
Another staff officer came and shouted: "Report, telegram from the 13th Army Command."
Xiaojun Jiang Bangxiong shouted: "Remember!"
The staff officer said loudly: "It is very likely that the enemy troops blocked your troops are the so-called special melee team led by Zhang Junhao. The number of people is only less than 500. However, Zhang Junhao is a big problem with my great Japanese Imperial Army. I would like to remind your troops to strictly prevent Zhang Junhao from raiding when retreating!"
Xiaojun Jiang Bangxiong was stunned. Of course he had heard of Zhang Junhao. Unexpectedly, the team fighting with him in front of him turned out to be the so-called special melee team led by Zhang Junhao.
Xiaojun Jiang Bangxiong sighed heavily and said, "Why did the headquarters tell us that Zhang Junhao is here until now? When Zhang Junhao was in Quzhou, he was surrounded by five and a half divisions and could all escape. He also rescued all the 86th Army. It was normal for one of our brigades to suffer heavy damage."
Xiaojun Jiang Bangxiong's logic made the Chief of Staff feel nothing to say after hearing this.
Xiaojun Jiang Bangxiong told the Chief of Staff: "Order the infantry brigade in front to surround Zhang Junhao's team. If Zhang Junhao can be killed, there will be rewards. Order other teams to bypass the combat area in front and continue to move forward."
Zhang Junhao stood on the top of the mountain and observed the distance with a telescope. He said to Chief of Staff Luo Zhong beside him: "Xie Xinming reported that the main force of the Japanese army was preparing to retreat all, and the direction was on the west side, rather than returning to Qingtian along the original route. This shows that the direction of the Japanese army was Lishui. Xie Xinming led the guard into the Japanese army, which would inevitably cause severe damage to the Japanese army, but the Japanese army had a large number of troops, and it was only a severe damage, but it would not be fatal."
Lieutenant Colonel Luo Zhong frowned and asked, "What should we do next? If we spend it here, we will be passive."
