Chapter 1211 Chapter 1220, Jingguan Ren fainted

Lucheng, temporary headquarters of the Japanese 36th Division.

Since the order to attack was given, Jingguan Ren has been sitting in his temporary office, waiting for news from the front line. Occasionally, he would glance at the scar on his left shoulder.

Tick ​​tick tick... An old-fashioned wall clock keeps swinging the pendulum, and the two hands are also moving slowly.

Dang, Dang, Dang, Dang, Dang... 5 bells chimed, making a few sounds in the quiet office. Jingguan Ren also raised his lowered head and glanced at the clock.

"Is it 5 o'clock? It's going to be dawn... Is there no news yet? According to the original battle plan, we should launch an artillery bombardment on Qiaojiazhuang where the Eighth Route Army is located now, right? And several cities in Licheng have already been captured.

Is the door open?" Thinking about these things, Jingguan Ren stood up and planned to go out for a walk to welcome the news of victory.

Bang... Before he could reach the door, the door was pushed open with great force. Iguchi Ren immediately opened his eyes, but saw Shintaro Imamura walking in with some trembling.

"Division...Division Commander...Your Excellency..." Imamura Shintaro held a document in his trembling hands, but his lips were trembling and he could not speak.

"Tell me, what happened? Is there any worse news than the annihilation of the entire army?" Jingguan Ren said calmly.

"Just now...a telegram was sent from the Shencun stronghold. In the early hours of this morning, they discovered that flares were lighting up the Zhuozhang River and there was intensive artillery fire. They knew about our sneak attack plan, so they did not report it to the division headquarters. But

Just now, some soldiers of the 36th Engineer Regiment, Baggage Regiment and Artillery Brigade who participated in the attack on Licheng fled to the Shencun stronghold."

Speaking of this, Imamura Shintaro looked at Iseki's application, and then said: "According to the reports of the officers and soldiers who returned from the rout, just when they completed crossing the river, built the bridge, and the artillery brigade was crossing the river, they were suddenly attacked.

Artillery strikes from the direction of Qiaojia Village. The artillery of the Eighth Route Army is very powerful, with more than 100 large-caliber artillery bombarding the team crossing the river."

However, he still suppressed this emotion and insisted on continuing to control the operation of the entire division. Now the only teams left in the division were those attacking from Liao County in the north, Wuxiang in the west, and Xiangyuan.

"Hey! Isn't this the always bold Gangzi? How come he's like this now?" Some veterans were making fun of these vomiting soldiers, but in fact they themselves were not feeling well either.

Imamura Shintaro is sad and angry? How could he not be sad and angry? Didn’t he see that his own division commander couldn’t stand the stimulation and fainted? Fainting is not really a problem. The key is that this is the second time a major loss of troops has occurred!

Including last year's incident, the 36th Division has already lost two troops.

With more than 10,000 troops, this adds up to more than a division. It is equivalent to losing an entire division in less than a year! This is a huge crime. Now he

, and Jing Guanren, neither of them can escape, they both have to return to the base camp to face trial.

Thinking of this, Imamura Shintaro felt a little dizzy, wishing he could faint too and stop paying attention to these things.

"Hurry, come quickly, send the division commander to the Second Field Hospital, hurry up..." Imamura Shintaro's voice was a little hysterical, and if you listened carefully, it sounded like a cry.

Although the attack of these three teams was blocked, the battle damage was still acceptable. Now that they have not received the order to retreat, it is right to stop the attack, right? He no longer thinks about capturing some fields and going to fight against the command of the Eighth Route Army.

The troops are gone. What he is thinking about now is how to save the lives of some more soldiers.

"Squad leader... I'm never afraid of death in battle! During the attack last night, I killed four Japanese with my own hands! But, at dawn, seeing these... vomit..." Gangzi couldn't hold it back anymore.

Just when Jingguan Ren fainted, Lai Dongxing, who was in Cha'an Mountain, was watching the sunrise in the east. At this time, the sky was actually gradually brightening, showing a fish belly white color. After a night's rest,

The sun is about to rise from the horizon. On the top of the mountain, the clear mountain wind carries the water vapor from the Zhuozhang River, which is extremely clear; but at the bottom of the mountain, beside the river, there are bright red traces, exuding the smell of blood and stench.

Bang... Before Shintaro Imamura finished speaking, he heard the sound of heavy objects falling on the floor. Looking up, he found Iseki lying on the ground, his eyes closed tightly, his whole body twitching, and he had lost consciousness.

"Your Excellency, Division Commander, they did not dare to come back. Instead, they continued to wait and observe the battle. Only now have they gathered their last troops. We... participated in the sneak attack on the troops attacking Licheng this time. We were lucky enough to return 936 soldiers and engineers.

The commanders of the regiment and the baggage regiment are still there, and the captain and some of the squadron commanders of the artillery brigade are also still there..."

Getting a death sentence is already the best result. If he fails to commit seppuku, it will be arranged. Even the whole family will be implicated.

"They said that they had a chance to escape because they were far away from the shore and the Eighth Route Army's shelling focused on the troops crossing the river. But the troops crossing the river were all exposed to the Eighth Route Army's artillery fire.

!The artillery fire from the Eighth Route Army lasted for a full 15 minutes, and more than 1,000 artillery shells were dropped, all of which were heavy artillery shells. They were even more powerful than our 150mm heavy artillery."

"Now, I order the 222nd Regiment, the 2nd Battalion of the 113th Regiment and other troops to immediately give up expanding the results and consolidate the existing battlefield...Order all bombers at Changzhi Airport to prepare to take off immediately! When ready, there is no need to ask for instructions,

When the visibility is up, immediately fly to the Zhuozhang River and bomb the Eighth Route Army that you can see!" What Imamura Shintaro can do now is to mobilize the aviation force.

Vomit...vomit...Beside the river, some soldiers were holding their knees with their hands in discomfort, bending over and vomiting.

Well, we can’t really blame Gangzi and the others for not being able to bear it. The main reason is that the scene was too bloody. Especially these soldiers, who were all the assaulters who were on the front line last night. In the flesh and blood,

After crawling around in the pile for so long, their bodies were all red and their faces were stained with blood. Especially when they could see the environment they were in, they couldn't bear the impact.

After all, it's not like someone can sit covered in blood on a pile of intestines, move his liver with his left foot, and fill his lungs with his right foot, and still be calm and composed.

"Hurry up and clean up the battlefield! Pick up usable supplies and take them away quickly. It's going to be dawn, be careful of Japanese bombers coming!" The instructors were shouting again.

Therefore, the soldiers who had just vomited continued to explore various human organs and search for useful supplies...
Chapter completed!
