Chapter 715: The Dilemma of Rensuke Isotani
The spotlight flashes!
Shun Sakamoto was lifted out of the room. The New 38th Brigade followed the military reporter and pressed the camera button. This scene was forever frozen on black and white film.
"Battery Commander, found a watch, pen, wallet and other items, and there are some money and items in it..."
"Register according to regulations, no one is allowed to move all items without any action. This is the rule. If you understand, whoever takes the opportunity to take advantage of the situation, be careful of military law!" The first battalion commander Cai Jin solemnly ordered.
"yes!"
"The leader and the brigade are here..." (I feel that this is a bit awkward to the commander. In the future, the leader of the group and the leader will directly call the leader, and above the brigade level, add the word "stop" to show the distinction)
"Report..." Cai Jin was about to raise his hand to salute him, but suddenly remembered the rules on the battlefield. He raised his hand and quickly put it down. It was still cleaning the battlefield. Who knew if there were any Japanese soldiers hiding in the horn gag. On this battlefield, it was the easiest to shoot black guns, especially when cleaning the battlefield.
This veteran knows that it is not uncommon for him to win a battle and die at the hands of the Japanese wounded soldiers.
Therefore, when cleaning the battlefield, when encountering Japanese wounded soldiers, there are no fewer people who attack directly. The officers below usually turn a blind eye.
Only when the chief is here, pay a little attention to the number of people who are captives.
The prisoners captured by the new 38th Brigade were all wounded soldiers of the Japanese. There were too many people, so it was really difficult to start. Only then did Japanese prisoners stab and kill soldiers from time to time.
If the New 38th Brigade hadn't been afraid of being too famous, it would have long since given the Japanese prisoners. Therefore, all Japanese prisoners caught were directly confiscated and escorted to the prisoner-of-war camp in the rear, which would give the heads of the Fifth War Zone a headache.
"Is this Sakamoto Shun?" Looking at the Japanese major general who had already died, Luo Yufeng sighed.
"It should be him. He was killed by the bomb. When he died, there was a Japanese major lying on him. The guy's back was covered with shrapnel!"
"Are there any documents or anything?"
"Finished, battalion commander, do you see if it's this..."
"Host, look, is this person he? The lieutenant general in the middle should be Seishiro Sakagaki?" Zhu Yaming took a photo of blood stained from Cai Jin's hand.
"Well, it's basically certain that this is Shun Sakamoto. Although he is an invader and an enemy, he is at least a general. Please restrain himself, find a coffin and bury it." Luo Yufeng ordered.
"Master, this is the only one, I'll find him a coffin. Is this too cheap?"
"As an invader, I wish I could cut him into pieces. But as a soldier, we should have the demeanor of a soldier. Can we show how powerful we are by ruining our opponents?" Luo Yufeng rebuked lightly.
"Yes, I understand."
"Let's keep his belongings. Even if he goes down with him, he doesn't know that the tomb robber will be cheaper." Luo Yufeng said, "Register and hand over to the custody. This will be a witness to history in the future."
"yes!"
Xuzhou, commander-in-chief of the Fifth War Zone.
"Okay, okay, Luo Yufeng fought well, killed Shun Sakamoto and wiped out the Japanese army in Ichi City. This is a huge victory!" Li De was very excited to report to the New 38th Brigade.
"It's a pity that Tang Keqin did not compete for his full achievements, so Seya Kishi and hundreds of people ran away." Xu Yanmou smiled regretfully.
"The flaws do not hide the merits. Tang Keqin fought this time, and he ran away hundreds of people. This is inevitable. Who would have thought that Setani Kishi had such a cruel heart and fought to break through the front line. What's more, Tang Keqin put another brigade, and the troops were not small. He was responsible for not being able to stop him, but the brigade commander of the brigade was even more responsible!"
"But that brigade also suffered a lot of casualties in order to block the Japanese army. At the last moment, the brigade commander came in person and was slightly injured..."
"It is unknown whether the truth is like this. If you neglect your duties, even if you make up for it afterwards, you will have to be severely punished."
"Okay, don't argue with you. Seya Kiyoshi only entered the forest north of Zaozhuang. We can send troops to chase him. Don't give him a chance to breathe. Perhaps there is still a chance to remedy. It should be no problem for the 85th Army to be familiar with the environment there." Liu Weizhang stood up and said.
"Now we have won such a big victory, so we have to report it to Chairman Chiang quickly, and this battle will inevitably make European and American countries look at our country with admiration."
"It's just moral condemnation. Europe and the United States are too busy to take care of themselves and will not give us substantial help."
"Military Commission, Chairman Jiang's urgent telegram!"
"read!"
“This…”
"The Chairman is planning to give up Xuzhou." After hearing the telegram, everyone in the room couldn't help but think.
"Give up Xuzhou, this is a last resort. Give up does not mean taking the initiative. At present, we are just winning a little bit of initiative in the local area. But from the overall situation, we have been trapped in the Japanese encirclement. There is only one gate left in this encirclement that has not been closed, which is the Longhai Railway!" Xu Yanmou walked to the military map on the wall, drew a semicircle on it with his hand and said.
"We should be able to fight another war in Xuzhou?"
"What Jiansheng is talking about Linyi?"
"No, we can't drag it down any longer. Although we are now able to defeat the 5th Division in Sakagaki, we have no time. The southern line is constantly shrinking, and the three Japanese fists are advancing in unison. The northern line and the Japanese army's military re-emergence ships at Tianjin Port have arrived. In addition, we have also received information that the Japanese Navy has plans to land in Lianyun!"
"Since the Military Commission has made a decision, we just obey. There is nothing to take a step back in the current situation. But if we take the initiative to retreat, will the people not understand us and think that we will no longer resist Japan?"
"This is not the case. The people do not understand military affairs, but we can explain that at least none of us soldiers are afraid of death, but those who die even have value."
"Dong De, what about your opinion?"
"The situation is very complicated. Mr. Li made a military order in front of Chairman Jiang. Xuzhou was at least three months old. Now three months have passed. My military order has been completed long ago. However, the longer Xuzhou is defending, the more beneficial it is for us. However, it is not appropriate to have so many troops squeezed into such a large piece of land in Xuzhou. We must follow the decision of the Military Commission. However, the anti-encirclement strategy they proposed is a bit unrealistic!" Li Delin said slowly, "Our current priority is to prepare for the battle of Taierzhuang, and then withdraw the exhausted troops from fighting. This can be the first step for us to evacuate Xuzhou."
"General Li's opinion is pertinent. We cannot take it one step at a time. We have to go step by step. Once so many troops are withdrawn, it will be easy to get messed up."
"Okay, first report the news of the Taierzhuang victory. The General Staff will formulate a plan for alternate retreat and cover. We will discuss it in the evening!" Li Delin announced.
"yes!"
Linyi, the 5th Japanese Division of Chitou Town.
Seishiro Itagaki, who received the farewell message from Shun Sakamoto, was crying bitterly. That was his elite 21st Brigade. Although not all, such a huge loss made him heartbroken.
Linyi could not conquer it for a long time, and it almost became his inner demon. Now that he received a farewell message from Sakamoto Shun, Sakagoshi's introspection was jealous and collapsed.
If he wants to change this situation, he must change it!
In the early morning of the 16th, under the personal command of Seishiro Sakagaki, the Guozaki Detachment launched a fierce attack on Linyi. The 59th Army could not resist for a moment and was rushed to the Linyi wall by the Japanese army. In the end, it had no choice but to send a big sword suicide squad to repel the Japanese army!
This time, Linyi's defense line was shaken. Seishiro Sakagaki found that Linyi's guarding power had reached a critical point, and with just a slight stab, it could be broken!
Seizing this opportunity was also to vent the anger in his heart and avenge the Sakamoto Detachment. Sakagaki Seishiro ordered the troops to attack Linyi regardless of their losses!
The telegram in Linyi was in a hurry to be placed on Li Delin's desk!
The 184th Division sent to reinforce Linyi has already gotten in the car, but it will take time to get there. The 52nd Army also sent troops to Linyi.
However, no one knows how long it will take for the crazy Seishiro Sakagaki, Zhang and Pang to stay in Linyi.
Sakagaki doesn't have to worry about his life and death. He can vent his anger willfully, and reinforcements will arrive at any time behind him. However, Isotani Ryosuke in Fuji Prefecture is not so lucky!
Although he still has thousands of Japanese troops under his command and his combat effectiveness is not much loss, it is quite difficult for him to change his decision now.
The Sakamoto Detachment failed to break through, and all the Tao was broken. There was no news from the Setani Detachment. The last time it was sent before the breakout, and it was just about the direction of the breakout, but there was no news after the breakout, and no response was received.
No response is the best response, but there is another possibility, that is, there is no chance to respond at all.
Until noon, there was still no news about Setani Kei. Isotani Ryosuke realized that he could not wait any longer. He had to make a decision whether to lead these thousands of people to stay in Fuji Prefecture or take a detour to Pingyi and where to wait for Setani Kei.
Since the Seya Detachment was surrounded, Isotani Ryosuke was also chased by the 110th Division of the 20th Army to the city of Fuji Prefecture. When the Kawa Legion was surrounded by the Japanese army, he fought for seven days and nights, and finally the remaining soldiers broke out. Now it is a revenge. Although the Kawa Legion, which was supplemented by the children of Kawa Naka, did not recover its full combat effectiveness, it was at least much stronger than when he was defending Fuji Prefecture, and he also surrounded Isotani Ryosuke and attacked and defended in another position.
This time, the Sichuan Army came with a revenge. Wang Zhizhong served as the commander of the front enemy, fully exerting the combat style of the Sichuan Army being good at gnawing hard bones, absorbing the tactics learned from the Honorary First Division, and causing major casualties to the Japanese army.
After the Sichuan Army fought against Teng County, it became famous across the country. Li Delin took great care of this unit with less than one-tenth of the casualties, and supplemented the limited transportation of special trains to supplement the troops, and also added a batch of weapons and ammunition to them.
This made the Sichuan Army, who was originally poor and could only wear straw sandals, suddenly become rich. The combat power increased exponentially, and they chased the Japanese Isogai Division.
Faced with such a desperate opponent, Risuke Isotani really feels like crying without tears.
