This was the last straw that broke the Japanese army
There were already less than 200 Japanese troops scattered on the mountain road. When they saw how many Chinese people rushed down from the mountains on both sides, they lost all will to fight.
After shouting, they scattered and fled.
Even if there were some rational ones who still wanted to take advantage of the situation and resist, the Chinese soldiers who rushed down would beat the first bird with sticks and shoot it dead with a burst of fire.
This time, there were no loud sounds of killing, no tragic bayonet fights, just the slaughter of hunters and prey.
Chinese soldiers are hunters.
The Japanese are lambs who have no resistance and only know how to run away.
It took less than half an hour for the more than 400 Chinese soldiers who joined the two sides to slaughter all the Japanese troops in sight.
In such a war, if you can't even take care of your own wounded soldiers, what kind of prisoners of war will be needed there? Regardless of whether they surrender or not, whether they are alive or dead, the soldiers from both sides who have merged have a tacit understanding to replenish their guns.
Last hit.
After this battle, the 36th Infantry Regiment completely disappeared in the long river of history. Its establishment was officially canceled by the Japanese Army Base Camp three days later. Only 400 of them were able to return to the country in the end.
As for the records of the Tianma Mountain battle, the Japanese 3rd Division had no records at all. Only the 9th Division symbolically recorded the battle in one simple sentence: The division mistakenly entered the Chinese main defense area while pursuing the remaining troops of the Four Lines.
Encountered the siege by an infantry division stationed in the defense area, less than 20 people survived.
But in fact, the actual data is that 422 people of the 36th Infantry Regiment, including Major Hide Toyoda and below, died in Tianma Mountain. The total number of troops sent to Tianma was 440, but in the end only 11 people managed to escape and returned to more than 20 people.
In the Japanese-occupied area kilometers away, the remaining seven people were missing.
It was not until many years later that China declassified the information and the Japanese learned that five people were shot dead by Chinese troops patrolling the area, and two others entered the village by mistake and were surrounded and killed by the villagers. Their bodies were thrown into a dry well and covered with gravel and soil.
Not to mention that the Japanese soldiers who were not familiar with the environment could not find the landfill. Even the villagers who participated in the matter had to search for several days to find the place where the stones were buried.
The war was completely over, and two soldiers in black military uniforms walked towards Tang Dao with smiles. Tang Dao did not dare to neglect, and hurriedly went up to them with Lei Xiong.
"Haha! Four elements..." The leading soldier with a Chinese character face was obviously a Qiqiao exquisite type. He had not arrived yet, but his compliments were sent to him first.
However, Tang Dao stood at attention and saluted respectfully: "I am reporting to you, Tang Dao is reporting to you!"
What's going on? The soldier with the Chinese character wearing the collar badge of Major General was stunned.
It stands to reason that although one is a high-ranking Central Army and the other is a low-ranking Sichuan Army, but one is an Army Lieutenant Colonel and the other is an Army Major General, there is nothing wrong with Tang Dao's formal military salute.
You can directly address the Chief of Staff of the 26th Division of the 43rd Army as the Chief of Staff. It was also reported that this is a title that cannot be given to someone who is not directly under his subordinates.
Could it be that this is the troops of our 26th Division? But this is impossible! There are only more than 700 people left in the 26th Division, and he doesn't know anyone above the rank of lieutenant officer? This made the major general and chief of staff confused.
"Tang Dao?" The bearded man next to the major general looked at Tang Dao carefully and suddenly said with joy: "No, you are Tang Tao, the son of a turtle, you are not dead!"
"Uncle Wang, if I die, how will you explain to my old man when you go back? You must not die!" Tang Dao looked at the beard and smiled slightly.
Now, he has completely integrated with his original body.
The bearded person in front of him was a person who was extremely clear in his memory. He also had an impression of his face.
His name is Liu Gongdu. He is the chief of staff of the Major General of the 26th Division. His beard is Wang Kejun, deputy commander of the 152nd Regiment of the 76th Brigade of the 26th Division. He is both his old commander and his father’s good friend.
Stay in the front line troops instead of being placed at the regiment headquarters.
But it was probably his fault that he was able to send the seriously injured body to the field hospital in the war zone. However, he did not expect that the war situation would change, and major changes would occur in the war zone hospital. After receiving the news of Tang Dao's death, this guy was probably scratching his head.
"It's good that I'm not dead, it's good that I'm not dead!" The eyes of some men with thick beards became moist. They strode forward and hugged Tang Dao with their arms.
"Even if you, melon boy, said something wrong, not only will I not be able to explain it to you, but I will also not be able to explain it to my fellow villagers. I took away more than a thousand children before I left! This is all I have left.
Son."
Tang Dao could feel the deep sadness that burst out from this uncle at that moment, and he could also feel his overwhelming joy at seeing his unexpected return. These two strong emotions were present in this big man who was already over forty years old.
It is vividly reflected in the body.
However, Tang Dao could not comfort him.
Because the war has just begun, and the 26th Division has lost 5,000 soldiers at this time, but in the future the Sichuan Army will kill 700,000, the highest in the country, and this is what Sichuan Province, as the last backing of China, must bear.
"Haha, you're a bastard! I haven't seen you for half a month, and you've already become a lieutenant colonel and battalion commander. It's also the world-famous Si Xing Battalion. As an uncle, I can follow you and take advantage of it." I guess he was standing aside when he saw it.
Deleixiong looked strange and had a beard. He immediately calmed down and patted Tang Dao on the back with great joy.
"What is the Four Elements Camp?" Tang Dao was stunned by this statement.
"Don't you know, little kid! In the days when you disappeared, the theater headquarters spent a lot of money to build a four-line camp for you. Your Tang Dao battalion commander's rank was also promoted to lieutenant colonel, and you
Uncle Wang is almost on par." On the other side, Liu Gongdu, who remembered Tang Dao, also had a happy face.
It turns out that the world-famous chief officer of the Four Elements Battalion was actually from his 26th Division. He was the chief of staff, so proud of him.
Moreover, it is not just a matter of face. Thinking about the two mountain cannons and the countless heavy machine guns, as Lao Wang, who has become the leader of the 152nd Regiment, said, it is certain that he will take advantage of it.
For a major general chief of staff who lost a lot of heavy equipment in World War I, it is absolutely impossible for him to be unhappy.
"Sit down and talk slowly!" Liu Gongdu smiled and asked Tang Dao and Lei Xiong to sit down first.
Only then did the two of them know what had happened outside the warehouse in the past few days. Not only had the ranks of their hundred commanders been substantially upgraded, but the organization had also become a four-line battalion similar to an independent battalion.
This is why Si Xing Battalion has become so famous these days. If not for this, it is still unknown whether the 26th Division, which had suffered heavy losses, would be willing to send half of its troops to respond to them!
After hearing the news, Lei Xiong opened his mouth with joy and did not close it for a long time.
He didn't care that he had more than one major. What made him happy was that, not only had he returned to the army, but the army's establishment had also been expanded.
He has been in the army for a long time, so he naturally knows the unspoken rules. An infantry battalion with a title is directly under the jurisdiction of the theater headquarters, which means that the number of troops it can organize will be much higher than that of a normal infantry battalion.
As long as the chief officer can solve the military pay problem, even if your military strength exceeds a normal infantry regiment, it is still reasonable.
Just like during the Northern Expedition, a certain independent regiment known as the Iron Army almost had more actual strength than an infantry brigade.
Over there, the soldiers of the 26th Division were still cleaning up the battlefield, killing dead bodies, and more importantly, collecting all kinds of weapons scattered by the Japanese army.
The warehouse defenders, no, the soldiers of the Sixing Battalion from now on were also picking up guns and searching for bullets. This made some Sichuan soldiers quite unhappy. Occasionally, they would hear a few Sichuan curses saying, "You son of a bitch has no sense of friendship."
However, he soon calmed down under the scolding of the officer.
"Your four-line camp has heavy machine guns and artillery, don't worry about it!" Comrade Lao Wang's face turned slightly red, and he explained a little awkwardly.
Of course, what was even more embarrassing was what happened later. Lao Wang's belly also started to growl.
The sound was so loud that the ears of the 'Hammer' on Niu Er's back perked up, and his pair of black eyes looked curiously at Comrade Lao Wang.
Is there a bomb hidden under this guy’s belly? A certain dog’s inner OS may be like this.
