Chapter 378: The Great Sweep: Ask the Master to Ask the Sinner
After venting his frustration, Colonel Itazu Naoen returned to his headquarters with the officers of his Third Battalion. Before leaving, he did not forget to pat Tang Tianhao on the shoulder and smiled sadly,
"Captain Tang, I will remember this account for you. When the raid comes back, we will settle it properly."
Tang Tianhao's expression was calm, and his voice even sounded a little calm, "No problem, this account must be settled by then."
"snort!"
Colonel Itatsu Naoen snorted coldly, turned around and walked away.
"Captain, you kid is such a bully!" Standing next to Tang Tianhao, all the officers of the Third Regiment of the Security Army were filled with indignation. They hated this arrogant Japanese officer, but they could only obey Tang Tianhao's orders and remain silent.
Exercise restraint.
Tang Tianhao said in a deep voice, "Shunzi's blood will not be shed in vain. This revenge must be avenged in the future, but now we can only endure it."
People also knew that Tang Tianhao was right, so they had no choice but to follow him back to the barracks.
After this trouble, Itazu Naoyuan was in a better mood, so he put aside Tang Tianhao's Third Regiment for the time being, because the upcoming large-scale sweep was the most important thing for the Japanese at the moment.
During this period, Japanese troops gathered inside and outside Fengtian City, each with a murderous intent, waiting for the start of the sweep to wipe out the anti-Japanese forces in western Liaoning and establish a solid rear for themselves.
For this sweep, the division commander of the Japanese Second Division, Jiro Domon, personally sat in Fengtian and directed his tens of thousands of troops to make final preparations before the sweep so that those hidden dangers could be completely eliminated.
Fujita Hikaru, who was far away in Tieling County, also sent news, telling the headquarters of Domon Jiro in Fengtian City that he had received inside information and would soon get the first batch of weapons design drawings for the Huya Special Warfare Brigade.
By that time, the combat effectiveness of the Japanese Kwantung Army will definitely be able to reach a higher level.
After hearing the news, Domon Jiro was overjoyed and praised Fujita Hikaru greatly, saying that he was the glory of the Japanese Army and would have unlimited future success.
With these pieces of good news, the Japanese army was in high spirits, and they felt that this raid would go smoothly.
The ringing of the phone woke up Domon Jiro, who was engrossed in looking at a map. He reached out and grabbed the phone receiver, put it to his ear, and then said, "I'm Domon Jiro."
A hoarse-sounding voice came from the other end of the phone receiver, which made Domonjiro regain his energy at once, "I'm Honjo Shige."
Domenjiro hurriedly put down his pen, stood up, and said respectfully, "General, hello, do you have any instructions?"
Honjo Shige stood in front of the table with his hands on his hips, holding the phone in one hand, and then said, "Domon-kun, this raid is a heavy responsibility. You must take it seriously and strive to wipe out all anti-Japanese forces in western Liaoning."
"Yes, General!" Domonjiro put his feet together. Although he could not be seen on the phone, he still maintained the solemnity of a soldier.
Honjo Shigeru continued, "In addition, I read the report sent by Fujita Hikaru, and I think his idea is very reasonable. The reason why Germany is invincible is that the advanced weapons and equipment play a very important role, so it must be eliminated at all costs."
We have obtained all the weapon information in the hands of the Huya Special Warfare Brigade, and no one is allowed to be missed."
"In this case, I'm afraid the difficulty of the sweep will be greatly increased, General." Domon Jiro thought for a while and felt that it seemed inappropriate to do so.
However, Shigeru Honjo's voice contained a tone that could not be refuted, "This is a decision made after discussion at the Japanese Army Headquarters. You just have to implement it."
Domonjiro is not saying anything else, but he must do what he says.
Putting down the phone, Domonjiro fell into deep thought. He was thinking about whether there was any good way to solve the problem, because this matter was too important and extremely difficult.
According to the information collected by Fujita Hikaru, the number of Huya Special Operations Brigade should be around 300, and they are all elite warriors with extremely strong combat effectiveness. In addition, their weapons and equipment are excellent, and they want to completely annihilate the Tiger Roaring Ridge where they are stationed.
, with the weapons information in their hands, I'm afraid the Japanese army's losses will be insignificant.
Of course, Domon Jiro did not expect that the number of combatants in the Huya Special Forces Brigade reached more than a thousand, and the combat effectiveness of the non-combatants was no less than that of ordinary infantry, or even a little stronger.
If Domen Erlang knew that there were so many people in Luo Xiao's Yanhuang Army, he would probably have reported it to the Kwantung Army Headquarters, and at least mobilized several divisions before he could try to attack Tiger Roaring Ridge.
Unfortunately, the information collected by Fujita Hikaru was wrong, and Fujita Norika received very little information due to environmental constraints, so the Japanese made a wrong judgment and sent him back as prey in vain.
Go up.
That night, the members of the raiding headquarters stayed up all night. Everyone was summoned to the combat conference room and held an all-night meeting to once again finalize the battle plan for the raid.
This is also the last meeting before the sweep. At dawn, all troops around Fengtian will set off to launch a large-scale sweep in the western Liaoning area to eliminate those anti-Japanese forces.
That night, Domon Jiro didn't sleep all night, and Ozawa didn't sleep either. All the Japanese commanders didn't sleep either. They were all making preparations for the war.
At dawn, groups of Japanese troops began to set off. They sang the Kwantung Army's military song, lined up neatly, and went out from the north city gate straight to the planned area for mopping up.
In front of the Japanese army were Zang Xuecheng and others wearing the uniforms of the security forces. They were placed at the front during this raid. To put it bluntly, they were cannon fodder.
In the eyes of the Japanese army, these security forces were worse than dogs, so they had no sympathy for them.
Standing in front of the window of the headquarters, watching groups of Japanese soldiers passing by with high morale and embarking on a mopping-up journey, there was something else in Jiro Domon's small, bespectacled eyes.
Ozawa walked over from the side and stood in front of Domon Jiro, "Domon-kun, the troops have set off, why do you have a worried look on your face?"
Domenjiro heard the sound and turned around, looked at his think tank, and then sighed, "Oh, I don't know why, but I feel a little uneasy in my heart."
"Uneasy?" Ozawa was stunned, and then nodded, "Yes, I always feel uneasy in my heart. Normally, our strength will be absolutely dominant this time, and there will be no problems."
"I don't know, it's just an intuition." Domonjiro shook his head, then walked back to the table and sat down, "But now the arrow is on the string and I have to take action."
Ozawa said nothing more, but stood beside him.
Outside the window, groups of murderous Japanese troops were marching along the spacious streets toward the outside of the city.
