Of course Utsunomiya didn't know that he was already in the Chinese game, and started to fall into the abyss step by step!
It was not that he had not tried to resist and refused to provide any information on the movements of the main force of his regiment.
Unfortunately, not everyone is as strong-willed as him.
Especially when they saw their still-living colleagues being kicked to the ground mercilessly by the Chinese and having their heads chopped off like grass, at least two Japanese infantrymen collapsed.
Each one said faster than the other that he was a soldier from the 2nd Infantry Regiment of the 14th Division. The main force was 15 kilometers away.
Betrayal is like poison. Once you drink it, you no longer have any scruples. Looking at the two subordinates, they want to confess the color of their underwear to the Chinese. Utsunomiya, who was already on the verge of psychological collapse, is also black.
melted.
He can die, but he cannot be stripped of all his clothes as the Chinese say, hung naked on a big tree by the roadside, and his head cut off to build a Jingguan like his subordinates. The only way to prove this is that he can die.
His identity is the two rank of Army Captain placed on his head.
As a result, Gu Xishui got the information he wanted.
Utsunomiya and the only two remaining Japanese soldiers also got the ending they wanted and could not continue to live, but at least Gu Xishui kept his promise and did not let the heads of the three of them become part of Jingguan.
As for the Japanese Army Captain who said in great pain that if the Chinese soldiers did that, it would lead to crazy revenge from the Imperial Army, Gu Xishui answered him unmoved: "Even if you don't do this, you beasts have shown mercy to us Chinese people.
Is it? Our group once said, when you stare into the abyss, the abyss also stares at you. Every evil thing you have done to our Chinese people, sooner or later, we will take revenge on your people. I only
I’m worried that your small island country doesn’t have as many people.”
The bone-chilling declaration of revenge made Utsunomiya freeze all over. He believed that as long as the war between the empire and China went slightly wrong, the Chinese soldier in front of him and his superiors would definitely fulfill their promise.
The empire has provoked a group of Chinese devils!
However, there was not much time for the Japanese army captain to lament that he was killed by a sword thrust into his chest. This was the greatest preferential treatment that Gu Xishui could give him.
"The 2nd Infantry Regiment of the 14th Division is the main force behind the 14th Division's pursuit of our Si Xing Regiment. It is currently about 30 kilometers away from our headquarters and will head to Bihe early tomorrow morning." Tang Dao held Gu Xi's hand
Shui Yu gathered the intelligence from the frontline reconnaissance, staring at the map and muttering to himself.
After a moment, he turned his attention to Gong Shaoxun, who had been silent for a long time, and said, "Vice-Gong Gong, what do you think our army should do?"
Gong Shaoxun, who was named by Tang Dao himself, frowned and said: "According to the battle report sent by the First Army, one part of the main force of the 14th Division is chasing the two infantry divisions evacuating towards the Taihang Mountains, and the other part is violently attacking the Yellow River Railway Bridge.
The First Group Army's headquarters were deployed along the way, and this unit should still be fifty or sixty kilometers away. Our fourth group still has at least three days. As long as the last batch of retreating troops of the First Group Army arrives, our fourth group will
The group then launched a plan to blow up the bridge.
As for the 2nd Infantry Regiment, as long as our regiment continues to dig and strengthen fortifications, with their strength and artillery, they will not pose a great threat to our regiment. However, it is difficult for the remnants of the First Group Army to evacuate from a distance and pass through the battlefield."
"What Deputy Gong means is that as long as our regiment sticks to its current position and the main force of the Japanese 14th Division does not attack, there will be no problem for our regiment to successfully complete the bridge bombing mission, right?" Sitting next to him, he said
Lei Xiong, who was smoking silently, suddenly spoke.
"That's right! The goal of our regiment is not to participate in the battle between the 1st Theater and the 14th Division. Blowing up the Yellow River Bridge is enough to show our regiment's support for the 1st Theater. There is really no need to go head-to-head with the 14th Division." Gong Shaoxun nodded.
The head responded to Lei Xiong.
"From the perspective of preserving the strength of our regiment, of course it is okay for you to think so, Deputy Gong, but have you ever thought about one thing, Deputy Gong? Our regiment blew up the Yellow River Bridge to complete the mission, but this 2nd Infantry who was ordered to pursue our unit
However, the regiment is clinging to our unit. Our regiment can no longer maintain a high-speed march and is destined to be unable to cross the Yellow River to attack Zhengzhou. What will the main force of the 14th Division do?" Lei Xiong stood up and struck Xinxiang with his finger.
A circle is drawn around it.
"They may change the strategy of attacking Zhengzhou. One unit will hold on to Xinxiang and block my way to Huixian. The other unit will attack Xiuwu and Jiaozuo to block my way to Jincheng. Then the 2nd Infantry Regiment will be named
In pursuit, our regiment is like a fish caught in the trap set by his 14th Division. No matter how hard we struggle, we will become their meal!"
"This" Gong Shaoxun took a breath. "Our Four Troops Regiment is just a small infantry regiment. As for letting Kenji Doihara expend so much effort? I would rather abandon the two big cities of Kaifeng and Zhengzhou and instead pursue and intercept our regiment with all our strength."
Lieutenant Commander Lei, are you thinking too much?"
Gong Shaoxun's meaning was very clear. Lei Xiong also took himself and the entire Si Xing Regiment too seriously. For a division-level unit of the Japanese army, its strategies were often formulated by the front army headquarters. How could it be possible to change the strategies that had already been formulated for an infantry regiment?
Strategy.
This was also the confidence that allowed him to dare to hold the entire regiment and blow up the Yellow River Bridge before quietly evacuating under the cover of night.
Because, he believed that the Si Xing Regiment would never become the main target of the 14th Division. Instead, they could take advantage of the opportunity that the Japanese army set their sights on the city of Zhengzhou, which seemed to be within easy reach, and the Si Xing Regiment could escape calmly.
"Haha, I originally thought the same as you, Brother Gong. Our Fourth Army Regiment only has 2,000 people, so it deserves the attention of the Japanese army. But when the regiment was unexpectedly ordered to turn back from Xinxiang, and the Japanese reconnaissance planes flew frequently, I
Only then can I finally be sure that the Japanese army pays more attention to it than you and I thought." Lei Xiong smiled and threw a cigarette to each of the three colleagues sitting at the table. "I believe that my judgment is consistent with that of the group leader.
the same."
"Brother Lei, how do you think our group should break the situation?" Tang Dao took a match and lit a cigarette, still staring at the map.
"There are only two ways our regiment wants to break this situation. Before blowing up the bridge, the regiment headquarters, two artillery companies, and the baggage company first withdrew to the south bank of the Yellow River, and then the infantry took turns to cover the retreat. The New Eighth Division's explosives had already been installed in place. With a sound
Just order the bridge to be blown up, and the Japanese army could only look at the river and sigh.
But as a result, we don’t know when our group’s trip to the Taihang Mountains will be completed. The original trip was only ten days, and it may be delayed for half a year. We can wait, but the colleagues of the 22nd Army cannot wait.
"Lei Xiong said. "So, I'm sure you won't use this, sir."
"As for the second option, our regiment does not stick to the rules and chooses to stick to it, but takes the initiative to defeat the 2nd Infantry Regiment in one fell swoop! Isn't this bitch Tu Fei Yuan trying to take advantage of our regiment? Then we'll kill him
He used a paw to let him know that our Fourth Army Regiment cannot be dealt with by him sending an infantry regiment. If he wants to cause trouble for our Fourth Army Regiment, remember to come with an infantry brigade next time." Lei Xiong said next.
The words were shocking.
Gong Shaoxun was so shocked that his mouth opened wide.
The reason why he came to the Four Elements Regiment was that he could be promoted to a military position. Secondly, Tang Dao personally appointed generals. Thirdly, he had naturally fought alongside Tang Dao and had a certain degree of recognition for Tang Dao. Now he came to the Four Elements Regiment.
For a month, because he was low-key and humble enough, he got along well with the Four Elements Group, and had a good impression of Lei Xiong, but he never expected that Lei Xiong would be so arrogant.
He knew the situation of the Fourth Line Regiment very well. The total number of soldiers in the regiment was more than 2,800, but in fact, the recruits and student companies accounted for 800 people. The three infantry battalions of capable soldiers plus several direct companies totaled only 2,000 people.
Although the equipment has been strengthened, with a few more 150mm mortars, and the entire regiment is equipped with semi-automatic rifles, there are still 3,800 people in a Japanese infantry regiment!
Not to mention that they are also equipped with infantry artillery and mountain artillery, and are even reinforced by artillery regiments. Just say that they have twice the strength of their own troops. How can the Four Lines Regiment defeat them? Is it just bragging?
However, there is no madness, only crazier.
The next moment, Tang Dao shook his head, "Brother Lei, your idea is wrong. To make this old boy Tu Feiyuan feel distressed, just defeating the 2nd Infantry Regiment is not enough. We have to annihilate them all."
Gong Shaoxun
"Does Deputy Gong think our idea is a bit fanciful?" Tang Dao turned his gaze to his deputy with a determined look. "The Japanese actually think so too, otherwise why would they dare to let an infantry regiment go alone?
Going deeper? Starting from Dobiyuan, the Japanese generals probably only thought about how our four-pronged regiment would retreat after the two armies engaged, but they never considered that our regiment would not only not retreat, but would also eat them in one bite."
"For regiments, it is true to say that when you use troops, you will be surprised. But how can our regiment encircle an enemy with more than twice the strength of our army? Moreover, the Japanese army has aircraft to support operations. Even if our army can encircle it, it cannot
You must have the strength to devour one of them in a short time!" Gong Shaoxun quickly advised. "More importantly, this place is all plains, not the Guangde Mountains, where our regiment has an ambush site with difficult terrain?"
"You are right, Deputy Gong. This area is all plains and is not the best place to set up an ambush, so the Japanese will naturally not be vigilant. That is our opportunity." Tang Dao turned his attention to what he just saw.
Map, suddenly raised his voice: "I order the whole regiment, except for the baggage company and the student company to stay at the position, the rest of the army will march towards the Bihe River. I order the whole army to throw away their clothes, food and other unnecessary supplies, and the whole army will try their best.
Bring enough ammunition and tell each battalion and company commander that the Japanese only have 12 hours left for us."
"Yes!" Lei Xiong, Zhuang Shisan, and Gong Shaoxun, who had been strongly suggesting just now, all stood up and agreed.
Regardless of personal opinions, as long as Tang Dao, the supreme commander, gives an order, everyone will obey the order. This is the deepest realization that Gong Shaoxun, the newly joined deputy leader, has learned after joining the Four Lines Group for a month.
Zhuang Shisan is the chief of staff, and Tang Dao's orders will be issued through his staff. Naturally, he has to leave first. Lei Xiong also serves as the commander of the first battalion. He grabbed his hat and ran faster than Chief Zhuang, leaving Gong Shaoxun alone.
, before he could take a step out, he was stopped by Tang Dao.
"Brother Shaoxun, Brother Lei and I just didn't want to refute your reputation or go against you. In fact, you have considered it very comprehensively and it is a strategy to preserve the strength of our Four Elements Group to the greatest extent!" Tang Dao looked on.
He explained gently.
Gong Shaoxun's heart warmed when he said this. He knew that Tang Dao, as the supreme commander of the Four Elements Regiment, had already reached a jaw-dropping level of control over the Four Elements Regiment after experiencing countless battles. He said how to fight, from
Lei Xiong, the second member of the Four Lines Regiment, would not have any objections to becoming a superior soldier. Tang Dao had no need to explain to him, the regimental deputy who was newly transferred to the Four Lines Regiment and had at most one cavalry company in his hands.
Just as he was about to speak, Tang Dao waved his hand, "But you have overlooked one issue. The reason why our Four Elements Group exists is not to preserve as much strength as possible and become a prince, but to kill as many devils as possible. As long as the devils dare to come,
I dare to kill the Four Elements Group.
It is for this reason that the Japanese regard Tang Dao and the Four Lines Regiment as a serious concern. What they are afraid of is not the Chinese soldiers with strong combat capabilities. What they fear is the Chinese soldiers who will never compromise and are destined to fight them to the end, no matter what.
No matter how much time is spent, no matter how many sacrifices are made, I, Tang Dao, and the army under my command, as long as one person survives, will definitely fight with them to the end. One day, we can even enter their island and inflict the suffering on our Chinese people.
Return them one by one."
"As long as one person survives, he will definitely fight them to the end."
The sound of Tang Dao was not loud, but it made Gong Shaoxun feel like he had a kind of heat flowing from the soles of his feet to the sky, and his whole body couldn't help but tremble.
That's the trembling that comes from the depths of the soul!
This is what a real Chinese soldier looks like!
"Brother Shaoxun, you were right about your question just now. How can our army defeat the main force of the Japanese army in a short time before they arrive? There is no other possibility except a surprise attack." Tang Dao's voice sounded. "Here.
It's a plain, so there was no such possibility, but fortunately, Gu Xishui brought me good news. By then, our regiment will have to rely on the cavalry company commanded by you, Brother Shaoxun, for the final blow against the 2nd Infantry Regiment.
, once the signal is sent, I wonder, brother Shaoxun, can you do it?"
"Regiment leader, just as you said just now, Gong Shaoxun and the cavalry company will definitely carry out the orders and prohibitions. Gong Shaoxun doesn't know whether they will be able to complete your military orders in the end, but Gong Shaoxun can guarantee that he will be the person at the front of the cavalry company.
." Gong Shaoxun replied with an extremely serious face.
"I believe in you, and please believe in me. I will definitely annihilate these Japanese pirates as a congratulatory gift for you and the Northeast Army Cavalry Company to join our Four Lines Regiment!" Tang Dao also replied solemnly.
"Okay!" Gong Shaoxun saluted solemnly.
Tang Dao returns the gift!
No more words are needed, military salute is the simplest and most direct answer from the two soldiers.
Tang Dao knew that although he had not completely conquered the hearts of this Northeastern Cavalry Company, that day was not far away.
People's hearts are very complicated. They joined the Four Elements Regiment just to obey orders. The easiest way to completely integrate them into the new army is to win a big victory.
The great victory belonging to the Four Lines Regiment and this newly joined cavalry, with Japanese blood flowing everywhere, is the sweetest fusion agent...
Ishiguro Sadazou didn't sleep well that night.
It was not because of the tenacity of the Chinese soldiers that they held back the main force of his regiment for an entire afternoon and suffered nearly a hundred casualties before they were able to capture the position where the Chinese troops were defeated.
The casualties of more than a hundred people were almost negligible for him, the captain of the Great Left Regiment. After the war, he could replenish them from the baggage regiment at any time and give them a few killings, such as Zhengzhou City, which was only dozens of kilometers away.
, at least 100,000 Chinese people can fully undertake the task of training the new recruits, and the unit's combat effectiveness can be restored quickly.
What worries the Japanese army chief is that that bastard Utsunomiya has disappeared without a trace since he sent out the telegram in the afternoon that he had discovered the traces of the Four Troops.
The wing headquarters communications team kept calling, but there was no response from them.
Were they collectively crushed when they met the main force of the Chinese? Or did they resort to radio silence to prevent being discovered by the Chinese? Ishiguro Sadazou has no way of knowing.
What worries him even more is that after he finally found the Si Xing Regiment, will the Chinese army with a cunning commander smell the danger and flee?
Although my thoughts were so busy that I didn't have a good rest all night, but no matter what, there is the Yellow River Bridge more than 30 kilometers away. As long as we capture this most important transportation line on the Yellow River, it will not only block the way for Chinese soldiers and civilians to escape south, but also block the way for Chinese soldiers and civilians to escape south.
It also paved the way for the division to attack Zhengzhou next, which can be regarded as a great achievement.
Therefore, at five o'clock in the morning the next day, Ishiguro Sadazou, who had a pair of panda eyes, got up and ordered the entire army not to light a fire to cook food. The entire army would have canned beef for breakfast.
River March.
He had to cross the Bi River before the Chinese could react.
After all, the telegram sent back by Utsunomiya made it very clear that the Bihe River is fifty meters wide. On such a winter day, if the Chinese react and deploy defenses along the river, the regiment will have to pay unimaginable efforts if they want to cross the river.
price.
In the early morning light, the 2nd Infantry Regiment rushed towards Bihe at a high speed, marching at a speed of 6 kilometers per hour.
In the darkness, one could only walk on the dirt road with horse-drawn carriages, and puffs of smoke and dust were rolled up.
But in an instant, it disappeared into the morning light with visibility of less than 10 meters.
The 2nd Infantry Regiment did not realize that they were already more than 40 kilometers away from the main force of the 14th Division.
That's really too far.
For the Japanese army that has not yet entered into mechanization, it may not be possible to reach the battlefield within one day even if it vomits blood.
