All the Japanese soldiers in Fengxin City knew that as soon as the Xuebing Army took back the people in the city, they launched an attack. When exchanging hostages, Yoshimoto Sadji was also worried that Ouyang Yun would break his promise and use a sniper to attack Gang. Murura Ningji, so he was also prepared. Not only did he have the sixteen officers who came out to protect him tightly, but he also set up a machine gun array to shoot the civilians who were surrendering if there was any change. , Yoshimoto was really worried about the safety of Okamura Neji. He stood on the tower of Fengxin South Gate and watched Okamura Neji slowly walk towards the city under the escort of a group of officers. As the distance got closer, his mood became... Increasingly nervous, Zhongdao Jingcun looked northward, hoping that the 10th Division and the 108th Division could support them as soon as possible.
Okamura Neiji and his party were still more than 100 meters away from the south gate. Yoshimoto Sadji ran down the city wall, then ordered the few remaining armored vehicles to drive out, and set up a vehicle formation at the gate of the south gate. Okamura Neiji After entering the vehicle formation, he led a group of subordinate officers from the headquarters to greet him, bowed all, and then said to Okamura with tears in his eyes: "Commander, you have suffered."
Okamura was expressionless at first, then suddenly shed tears and said: "One general is incompetent, which affects the three armies. Yoshimoto, why are you doing this? Wouldn't it be great to let me die in Ouyang Yun's hands? I can contribute to His Majesty the Emperor's great cause of Greater East Asia." It is my honor to sacrifice myself. Now, even if we can return north, how can I look back to His Majesty the Emperor?"
"Your Excellency, Commander, this is wrong. You don't know yet that the base camp has made a new appointment for you. Your Majesty, don't you believe in using China to control China? His Majesty the Emperor and the base camp have already approved it. His Majesty the Emperor has also authorized you to take charge of this matter."
"There is such a thing."
Nakajima Jingmura and Yoshimoto Sadaki stepped down and stepped forward and said: "Your Excellency Okamura, Yoshimoto-kun, it is better to go back to the headquarters first. I estimate that it will not be long before the Chinese will launch an attack."
Yoshimoto Teiji raised his head and looked at the Xuebingjun position in the distance. Seeing that the dense crowd just now had become sparse, he felt relieved and said, "Nakajima-dono reminds us, Commander, let's go and take command first." Ministry."
Being captured in the heavily guarded headquarters was a great shame and humiliation for Neiji Okamura. When he heard them mention the headquarters, the veins on his forehead jumped wildly, and he felt so humiliated that he said in a deep voice: "Then go back to the headquarters first. Let's go." A group of people walked to the headquarters. Along the road, Okamura saw that the city was heavily defended. The soldiers did not slacken in fighting spirit because of his capture. They gritted their teeth and gathered their mood, and asked Yoshimoto Sadaji: "The 10th Division. Where are you and the 108th Division? Have you received any telegram?"
"Your Excellency Tokugawa sent a telegram from France not long ago to mention this matter. The First Air Corps saw them crossing the river at ten o'clock in the morning. They should have arrived at Dongshin by now."
"Didn't Mr. Yokoyama send back a telegram?"
"At three o'clock in the morning, a telegram came back, saying that they had encountered a large force of student soldiers and were trying to break out."
"Have you sent out any more reconnaissance troops?"
"Yes, but no report has been sent back yet."
The hope that the remnants of the 11th Army can successfully break through lies with the 10th Division and the 108th Division. However, considering Ouyang Yun's veteran military skills, he will never neglect the defense of the northern line. Moreover, the Xuebing Army has already A division occupied Yongxiu, and Okamura Neji felt deeply confused about his future. Thinking of this, Nao Renzi couldn't help but feel pain.
Okamura Neiji suddenly turned pale and staggered. Yoshimoto Sadaji and others were taken aback. Yoshimoto supported him and asked: "Sir, are you okay?"
"I'm fine. Where is Somu Yamamuro? Have they sent a telegram?"
"Shanmuro Jun has led his troops to successfully break through and return to Madang. He has organized a force and is marching towards Nanchang."
"Did Shanshi say how many troops were left to garrison Madang Fortress?"
"Yes, there are two infantry brigades and three brigades of logistics troops."
"You can send him a telegram immediately and ask him to feign an attack. Don't leave Panyang County." Okamura said, his face became paler, and his brows were tightly knitted because he couldn't bear the pain. together,
Gibbon was very worried when he saw it and called: "Your Excellency."
Okamura shook his hand, and a picture of Ouyang Yun walking towards him with a silver needle suddenly appeared in his mind. His heart palpitated, and he cursed in his heart: "Ba Ge, this Ouyang Yun, he pricked me with a silver needle, I'm afraid, I'm afraid It contains evil intentions."
Ouyang Yun wanted to use acupuncture to turn Okamura into a cripple. When he went to apply acupuncture, he saw that his nose was runny, so he used acupuncture to treat his cold. Okamura was freezing for most of the night due to the wind and cold, so a runny nose and sneezing were naturally inevitable. , he didn't believe that Ouyang Yun would be so kind, but he didn't think much about it. After being taken out of Fengxin City, he was determined to die, so he didn't care about how to die. But now that he thought about it, he began to doubt Ouyang Yun's acupuncture. the real motive,
Yoshimoto Sadatsuki became more and more worried when he saw this, and just as he was about to say something, he heard a sudden muffled thunder from the northeast. In this Nanchang battle, the 11th Division's east and west routes could be said to have been defeated by the artillery of the Xuebing Army. , so all the little devils are particularly sensitive to the sound of artillery fire from the Xuebing Army. He immediately changed his color and said: "No, artillery attack." Then he pointed to a courtyard on the left and pointed at the few who were following Okamura Neji. The staff officer of the headquarters shouted: "Quick, take the commander into hiding." He then said to the brigade commanders and regiment commanders: "Go back and command the troops, the Chinese are about to launch an attack."
All the Japs were aware that the Xuebing Army would launch an attack after the change of character, but they still did not expect that the attack would come so fast. All the Japs officers responded and fled, but they only ran out no more than ten meters away, and the shells broke through the air. The sound rang out, and then the "rumbling" explosion sounded. Fifty or sixty artillery shells had exploded all over Fengxin City.
In this round of artillery bombardment to destroy the enemy's morale, Zhang Tianquan followed Ouyang Yun's instructions and used a brigade of heavy artillery. Commanded by a brigade commander who was on the front line and was skilled in artillery warfare, Zhang Tianquan used regional bombardment from east to west and then from north to north. Going south, the entire Fengxin City was cleaned with artillery fire.
The twenty-minute bombardment consumed nearly 5,000 artillery shells and turned the entire Fengxin City into ruins. The remaining 11th Army West Route Army suffered heavy casualties in this sudden round of shelling. When the shelling stopped, there were less than 3,000 Japanese soldiers alive.
The sound of explosions is endless. Recently, it almost exploded at the entrance of the air-raid shelter where Okamura Neiji and others were hiding. Not to mention that the Japanese military police guarding the entrance of the cave were blown up and howled like ghosts. The tragic scene made all the high-ranking Japanese officials hiding in the cave Their hearts were filled with sadness and their faces were earth-colored. Even the dust falling from the roof of the cave was enough to scare them. They were afraid that the air-raid shelter dug hastily by Fengxin residents would not be able to withstand the pressure and collapse.
