Rikichi Ando wanted Liu Yimin's life, and his brigade commander, wing commander, group captain, squadron leader, and squad leader were all eager to take action. They wanted to take revenge on Liu Yimin's instructor. There was a squadron leader who had just been transferred from the mainland and taught a lesson.
When he was the team leader, he said: "First go to Liu Yimin to practice bayonet and shooting on the humanoid target. When will you stab Liu Yimin's heart 10,000 times, then report for duty."
Rikichi Ando ignored everything and let his 5th Division clear the way. Three independent mixed brigades and the 14th Division followed suit, forming a triangular attack arrow. The smoke billowed southward from Longhai Road and crossed Yanfu.
The area moved towards Nantong.
After the Eleventh Army commanded by Okamura Neiji completed its preliminary formation in Xuzhou, the small units of the 101st Division stationed in the Yanfu area had been completely wiped out by the Second Teaching Brigade of the Eighth Route Army, and the main force retreated to Nantong and Yangzhou areas.
, and the Botian detachment transferred from the Taiwan Army has also been strengthened on the Jiangbei defense line. Okamura Neiji commanded the 6th Division, 9th Division, 27th Division, 106th Division, along the Soviet Union
The Anhui border swept down.
Since Okamura Neiji suffered a big loss on the Hebei-Shandong border, he was deeply afraid of the Eighth Route Army instructors and knew that he might fall into a trap if he was not careful. Therefore, he paid special attention to the search and sent out a large number of search teams before setting off.
A large-scale search and reconnaissance was carried out on the front, rear and left sides of the march route, in conjunction with aircraft reconnaissance, in an effort to seize traces of the main force of the Eighth Route Army's teaching division.
This Okamura Neiji is indeed a famous Japanese general. When he was in Xuzhou, he personally went to the 106th Division of the 11th Army, which had been organized for the shortest time, and met with officers above the squadron leader, and talked about the fear when he first went to the battlefield.
, talked about the importance of strengthening vigilance, search, and patrol, talked about the urgency of finding collaborators, and talked about the glory after achieving victory. In the end, Okamura Neji, an old devil, concluded that the imperial army does not lack courage and training, but what it lacks is
We must sum up the lessons in a timely manner and adapt to the Eighth Route Army's guerrilla warfare plus mobile warfare style as soon as possible.
Old Japanese Neji Okamura knew that the 06th Division was the soft persimmon in the Eleventh Army. If the main force of the Eighth Route Army really wanted to encounter the Eleventh Army, the 106th Division would be the Eighth Route Army's first choice prey.
Therefore, he worked hard in the 106th Division. In addition to meeting the officers, he also went deep into the soldiers, ate and talked with the soldiers. As a result, the officers and soldiers of the 106th Division were excited.
Barking wildly, a group of hungry wolves all showed their fangs.
As for the Second Army commanded by King Nianyan of Togyur Palace, it now lacks one 10th Division compared with the history, but the 3rd Division, 13th Division, and 16th Division are all permanent divisions, and there are still
With the heavy artillery brigade of the Second Army accompanying them, the combat effectiveness itself is extremely powerful.
King Nian Yan of Dongjiuer Palace hated Liu Yimin and his instructor to the core. With strong cover on both the left and right wings, he completely lost his timidity and commanded three divisions to rush towards Huaiyin from the front.
He thought that the Eighth Route Army was still on the front line of Huaiyin just now. His pounce was equivalent to inserting a knife into the back of the Eighth Route Army. As long as Liu Yimin dared to turn around and fight, the left and right wings could immediately encircle Liu Yimin and his instructor.
, solve the problem in one battle.
The commanders of the three Japanese army had this kind of character, so naturally the Japanese army's offensive was very fierce. However, the Japanese army did not expect that the Eighth Route Army had already figured out their thoughts and played with them like stupid cows.
After Zhang Jingwu and Li Congmin formed the northern Jiangsu detachment, the first thing they did was to organize the masses to clear the country and prepare for counter-mopping up.
Zhang Jingwu and Li Congmin were both backbone cadres of the Red Army who had experienced hundreds of battles. Facing the menacing Japanese army, although they did not dare to be careless, they definitely did not panic, because they knew that the target of the Japanese army was the large army of teaching divisions heading south.
It is impossible to stop in northern Jiangsu for a long time, it is just passing by. As long as it avoids the large Japanese army, the northern Jiangsu detachment will have room for survival and development behind enemy lines.
In accordance with Liu Yimin's instructions to the North Jiangsu detachment, Zhang Jingwu and Li Congmin sent troops to closely monitor the movements of the Japanese troops. The main force was mainly used to cover the transfer of the masses and avoid excessive losses.
After the Japanese army started taking action, the North Jiangsu detachment sent intelligence reports to Luo Ronghuan and Liu Jianli, commander of the Second Teaching Brigade, who had withdrawn to southeastern Shandong. As for Liu Yimin, he was on his way back north at this time. The radio was turned off. No one knew where he was and could not
connect.
When deploying before the war, Liu Yimin considered that this was a morning cow operation. The purpose was to transfer the main force of the Japanese army southward and return them to their original strategic track. Therefore, the task assigned to the North Jiangsu detachment was only to monitor the enemy and cover the transfer of the masses.
, they are strictly prohibited from taking the initiative to attack the Japanese.
Zhang Jingwu and Li Congmin knew that Liu Yimin was considering strategic issues and that the North Jiangsu detachment could not influence the division commander's decision-making and deployment. However, it was too frustrating to just watch the little Jaap pass by in front of them with great power. The two of them discussed it.
I felt that I couldn't fight hard, and I didn't have the capital to fight hard. I couldn't block and harass on a large scale, which would affect the pace of the Japs going south. But if I didn't fire a single shot, that was not the Eighth Route Army's fighting style and would make the Japs suspicious. So, Su Bei
The detachment pointed its guns at the Japs' vanguard and searched for the small troops. Each battle resulted in the elimination of dozens of Japs. The results were small, but the victory was clean and tidy, which made the Japs more and more convinced that the Eighth Route Army was in front.
In the end, the strength of the Japanese search force increased and they were getting closer and closer to the main force. Seeing that they had no more opportunities to fight, Zhang Jingwu and Li Congmin led the northern Jiangsu detachment to move and let the Japanese march southward.
After Han Deqin and Liu Yimin parted ways, they returned to the axle and did not stop for a moment. While reporting the situation to Gu Zhutong, he quickly issued orders to all units to implement tight mobilization. This time, Han Deqin finally listened to Liu Yimin's words.
That is to hide the troops and avoid the sharp edge of the Japanese attack. In this way, after the Japanese army launched its large forces, all the units of the 24th Group Army in northern Jiangsu were transferred in advance, and many counties and towns gave up. On the surface, the losses were very high.
In fact, the Japanese army only captured various key points, and the military and civilian losses were relatively small.
Of course, the Japanese army has opened a large net, and it is impossible to catch even a small amount of Chinese troops. The departments and local security teams of the 24th Group Army, which had no time to move, were surrounded by the Japanese army and fought back desperately, spending every day in the breakout.
Fortunately, the Japanese army's target was the main force of the Eighth Route Army's teaching division. It was not interested in the 24th Army and the security forces under its command, and was unwilling to waste time chasing the breakout troops of the 24th Army. All units of the 24th Army avoided heavy losses.
Of course, at this time, the 24th Group Army was affected by the great victory of Taierzhuang and the series of victories of the Eighth Route Army. Although its weapons and equipment were backward, its troops were limited, and its combat effectiveness was not strong, it still had a strong will to fight. The surrounded troops all used the terrain to familiarize themselves with the situation.
With the advantage, I thought of breaking out. But I couldn't break out, so I worked hard with the little devils and composed a series of magnificent songs.
Gaogou Town is located at the junction of Lianshui, Guanyun and Shuyang counties. Its original name was Gaojiagou, which was named after the surname Gao from Suzhou moved here. There are three canals passing through the town, and its location is important. During the reign of Emperor Yongzheng of the Qing Dynasty
The Shuyang County magistrate set up a town in Gaogou Town in 1989, and asked the Wang, Zheng, and Xu tribesmen who had replaced Gao to recommend a director each to manage the affairs of the town. By 1928, the Republic of China government had established the Ninth Committee in Gaogou Town.
city.
On the afternoon of July 15, the 9th Infantry Regiment of the 16th Division, the leading force of the Japanese Second Army, arrived at Gaogou Town. Here, the Japanese army was welcomed by several leading figures in the town. Not only did they drink hot tea and eat
Gaogou Town's famous food is bundled hoof, and we also tasted Gaogou's fine wine.
The captain of the Japanese team had a greasy mouth after eating and was dizzy after drinking. He really didn’t want to leave this ancient town filled with wine. Unfortunately, he still had to pursue the Eighth Route Army, so he had to leave a squadron behind to take charge of the security and response tasks in Gaogou Town.
As a follow-up force, he led the main force of the regiment to continue southward.
The next morning, the headquarters of the 16th Japanese Division arrived at Gaogou. At this time, Lieutenant General Nakajima Jingo, the commander of the 16th Division, had received an order to be transferred to the commander of the Fourth Army of the Kwantung Army. The new division commander
Lieutenant General Fujie Keisuke has not yet arrived, so Nakajima I have to stay on and wait for Fujie Keisuke's arrival.
Nakajima Jinchao went to Gaogou Town and took a look. I felt that it was indeed a place that should be defended. However, the smell of alcohol here was too strong and made people feel reluctant to lift their feet. So I ordered the division headquarters to leave Gaogou and continue to the Qing Dynasty.
Jiangpu advanced, leaving the garrison squadron behind to wait for the arrival of the military headquarters.
In the evening of July 16, the commander of the Japanese Second Army, Lieutenant General Tojiurgong Nianyan Wang, led the Second Army headquarters to Gaogou Town. After seeing the terrain of Gaogou Town, Lieutenant General Tojiurgong Nianyan Wang
It will be decided that the headquarters will rest temporarily in Gaogou overnight and then move the headquarters to Qingjiangpu tomorrow.
Lieutenant General King Nianyan of Dongjiure Palace is not yet 51 years old.
It is said that in this era, the productivity is underdeveloped, the level of medicine is low, and the average life span of people is also short. You will look very old in your 50s. But this guy, King Ninhihiko of Toguru Palace, is obviously a different kind. He was originally Asahiko of Toguru Palace.
The prince was born to Pianfangji Okako, and he was fostered in the outer court since he was a child. He had a very noble family background, and lived a comfortable and comfortable life in the outer court. He had no shortage of delicious food, and his health was particularly good. Historically, this guy lived to be 103 years old.
He also served as the short-lived Prime Minister for 54 days and was the only member of the royal family to serve as Prime Minister in Japanese history.
The 50-year-old Prince Higashikata Nimuhiko was still as strong as a bull. Before the headquarters was settled, he ordered the chief of staff, Major General Machjiri Hoshikichi, to quickly hang up the map and contact the various units.
, inquire about the progress and the situation of the enemy in person.
Not long after, Major General Hoshikichi Machijiri reported that the 16th Division had occupied Qingjiangpu, the county seat of Huaiyin, the 3rd Division had occupied Qingjiangpu, Lianshui County, and the 13th Division had moved south from Shuyang and arrived at the outskirts of Qingjiangpu. Three divisions
All reported that the forwards were in contact with the Eighth Route Army. The 16th Division reported that the Eighth Route Army was still in the same style. Landmines, explosive packs, artillery, and machine guns were all deployed. Qingjiangpu turned out to be an empty city. The Third Division reported to the vanguard.
The troops were ambushed by instructors outside Lianshui City and suffered heavy losses.
Lieutenant General Wang Nianyan of Dongjiuer Palace laughed when he heard this. This was a typical tactics taught by Liu Yimin. It seemed that he was about to seize the Eighth Route Army's tail!
King Higashikata Nikihiko did not ask about the specific losses of the 16th Division and the 3rd Division at all. He asked Major General Hoshikichi Machijiri to contact Okamura Neji and Ando Rikichi to inquire about the progress of the two wings, and at the same time asked the Air Force to report for a day.
of the investigation.
Both Okamura Neji and Ando Toshiyoshi reported that the troops were progressing smoothly and did not encounter large-scale resistance. The aviation force reported that there were no large-scale Eighth Route Army troops facing Huaiyin and Lianshui, but there were signs of Eighth Route Army activities in the Nantong and Yangzhou areas.
The Eighth Route Army cavalry troops were detected and encountered ground fire attacks during bombing and strafing operations.
After comprehensive intelligence from all sources, King Nianyan of Dongjiuer Palace judged that the main force of the Eighth Route Army had moved out to attack Suzhong. Liu Yimin, a guy who was so stupid that he was so stupid that he dared to attack Suzhong. Did he really want to cross the river to fight in Shanghai?
Any idea?
After thinking about it, the old devil Wang Nianyan of Dongjiuer Palace laughed. This Yangtze River is not the Yellow River. It is so majestic, especially the lower reaches of the river. It is wide and cannot build pontoon bridges. Troops can only be transported by boat. There are powerful Chinese dispatches.
The third fleet of the fleet is here. Liu Yimin's plan to cross the river to attack Shanghai is simply a fantasy. It seems that Liu Yimin should have been driven out by the imperial army and had no choice but to retreat to the middle of the Soviet Union. In this way, he will inevitably end up
In the pocket of the Imperial Army.
Thinking about it again, King Nianyan of Dongjiuer Palace believed in his judgment even more. The reason was very simple. The Japanese army mobilized more than 700,000 troops to pursue the Eighth Route Army. What other good options could the Eighth Route Army have besides escaping? Shandong could not go back, so it had to go to Shandong.
To retreat to the west, there is Jinpu Road defense line, and Liu Yimin can only retreat south. However, there is an old saying in China that poor bandits should not be pursued. Liu Yimin and his instructors are now desperate bandits, and they will definitely counterattack madly before they die. With their fighting power
, whoever you find first will be unlucky, you must pay attention to this.
King Higashikata Nagihiko reported to the commander of the North China Expeditionary Force, Shunroku Hata, that he had sent a telegram, reporting the progress of the Second Army in detail, and then ordered the 16th Division, the 3rd Division, and the 13th Division.
Move closer and order the heavy artillery brigade to be under the command of the 16th Division. The forwards of each division must establish contact with the left and right wings to guard against an ambush and surprise attack by the Eighth Route Army.
After giving the order, King Nianyan of Dongjiur Palace felt that there was nothing wrong with his handling, so he felt relieved and asked the guards to bring wine to prepare the dishes, and began to drink and taste the dishes.
Liu Yimin led the 1st Teaching Battalion and the 3rd Special Forces Squadron. After the 3rd Sniper Squadron left Qingjiangpu, they hid in Gaogou Town because he remembered that the Japanese army had been entrenched in Gaogou Town for a long time in history and had always regarded Gaogou Town as an important stronghold.
After arriving at Gaogou Town, Liu Yimin took a look at the terrain and the industrial and commercial situation of Gaogou Town, and knew why the Japanese army occupied Gaogou Town in history. He stopped here, preparing to take advantage of the situation and give a big gift to the Japanese army.
The ones who came out to welcome the Japanese troops were naturally the anti-Japanese activists mobilized by Liu Yimin and others. The purpose was to protect the ancient town from being poisoned by the Japanese troops, and at the same time to paralyze the vigilance of the Japanese troops.
The remaining Japanese squadron was eliminated by the special forces and the First Battalion the night before, and the bodies were buried tightly. When the headquarters of the 16th Division arrived at Gaogou Town, Liu Yimin thought that he would wait for the big fish and wanted to
The headquarters of the 16th Division is in trouble. Unfortunately, Nakajima Jinchao, an old devil like me, is traveling with the 30th Brigade. I can't take action during the day, so I can only wait until night. Who knows that I, Nakajima Jinchao, don't know what my strength is?
I took a wrong turn and didn't stop at Gaogou Town, so I escaped disaster.
Liu Yimin was a little disappointed at first. He hated himself for hesitating. When he encountered Nakajima Konso, a murderer, he did not immediately launch an attack. Even if he sacrificed himself here, he could not let this old devil run away. But Nakajima Konso
The order before leaving made Liu Yimin overjoyed. It turned out that the Second Army Headquarters also had to pass through Gaogou. This was like giving him a pillow if he wanted to sleep. He also wanted to sneak into Xuzhou City to find Lieutenant General Nianyan Wang of Dongjiur Palace.
It's time to settle the accounts, now it's over, the old devil is here!
As soon as the Second Army headquarters entered Gaogou Town, the security troops directly under the Second Army also poured in. Gaogou Town was immediately in a state of chaos. Fortunately, the residents of Gaogou Town had been killed by the Eighth Route Army in advance.
After work, ordinary residents were evacuated, and the remaining anti-Japanese activists were prepared to receive the Japanese troops. They were all elites. As soon as the small Japanese army poured in, they grabbed the cells, grabbed food, and grabbed wine at every turn.
Even if the bayonets are pointed at each other, no matter how much they can bear it, these people can't stand this arrogance. But when they think that the Japanese troops in the disguise of the Eighth Route Army are standing guard in the town, and they see that the Eighth Route Army is going to fight here, these little naughty little devils will soon overthrow the enemy.
Damn, just compromise and give whatever the little Japs want. The Japs, who were so coaxed, even praised the residents of Gaogou Town for being friends with the Imperial Army.
Lieutenant General Nishikihiko of the Higashikata Palace ate and drank, and felt very comfortable. When he was satisfied with his drink, he called the chief of staff, Major General Machijiri Hoshikichi, and the two old Japanese began to drink.
Just as he was drinking to his heart's content, there seemed to be some movement in the courtyard. Prince Higashino Higashihiko's ears were sharp and he asked Machijiri Hoshikichi to go and see what was going on.
Machijiri Seikichi took a sip of his wine and muttered, "It's disappointing, some division must have sent a telegram again." After saying that, he was about to get up when he saw the door open and the lieutenant captain of the 16th Division's left-behind squadron.
He led a few soldiers from the 16th Division and broke in.
Seeing the unkind expressions on the faces of the people who came in, Machijiri Seikichi stood up and shouted loudly: "Baga! Who let you in? Get out!"
The squadron leader chuckled and said in a standard Kyoto accent: "General, why are you so angry? We are here to see if the commander is resting well, and we will leave after that."
Machijiri Seikichi was furious, and he went up to slap the squadron leader. Unexpectedly, the guy dodged away, and several soldiers behind him followed suit, thrusting several bayonets at them, so Machijiri Seikichi had to fight again.
Sat down.
The squadron leader walked around the table a few times, chirping, and then said after reading: "It seems that what others said is true. In war, we soldiers work hard at the front, and you officials enjoy it in the rear. You see
Look, the soldiers at the front don’t even have clean water to drink, but you are fine wine and delicacies. This battle can no longer be fought!”
After all, King Nianyan of Dongjiur Palace has seen the world. As soon as the officers and soldiers of the 16th Division came in, he knew that there was trouble tonight, and there might be a mutiny.
King Nianyan of Dongjiur Palace said coldly: "Lieutenant, do you know what you are doing? This is going to a military court, do you know?"
The squadron leader raised his head and laughed wildly for a while, then said after laughing: "Lieutenant General King Nianyan of Tojiur Palace, put away your tricks. To tell you the truth, we are from the Japan Anti-War Alliance. The purpose of our organization is
To stop the warlords from starting a war, open your eyes and take a closer look at what you have done to Japan. How many young people have become cannon fodder, how many girls have become comfort women, and many families' last assets have been forced to use them as military expenses.
.You keep saying that the occupation of China is for the benefit of Japan. I think it is for the benefit of your royal family and those nobles. We work hard and you make money. Is this fair?"
Lieutenant General Wang Nianyan of Dongjiur Palace rolled his eyes a few times and said: "Japan Anti-War Alliance? I have never heard of it. Is it interesting?"
The squadron leader said: "Your Excellency, Commander, we have only one thing to ask of you. Please support us, oppose war, oppose the invasion of China, and let us go home and reunite with our relatives."
As soon as King Nianhiko of Higashikata Palace heard about this, he wanted to be cunning and avoid the disaster before him and said: "Lieutenant, I already understand your purpose of coming, and I will report it to His Majesty the Emperor."
The squadron leader immediately took out a piece of paper, placed it in front of King Nianyan of Dongjiur Palace, and said: "Your Excellency, Commander, since you sympathize with and support our proposition, please sign this statement."
Prince Higashihiko of Higashikata Palace took a look at the paper and saw that it was an anti-war statement. It actually said that the emperor was the culprit of Japan's economic decline, people's poverty, and the casualties of soldiers. He couldn't help but became furious and threw his hand on the table.
He stood up and shouted loudly: "You are threatening! I will not sign, nor will I support your nonsense. Come on, drag these cowards out of here!"
The squadron leader chuckled: "Your Majesty Commander, no one will come even if you shout at your throat. Your guards have been dealt with by us. If you agree to sign, we can let you go, but you are not allowed to order us to be hunted down."
Otherwise, I'm sorry, I can only use your blood to pay tribute to the souls of those who died in the war of aggression against China."
King Nianyan of Dongjiur Palace stared: "How dare you! If you commit rebellion, your family will be implicated. If you dare to touch me, everyone in your family in Kyoto will be guillotined. Lieutenant, think clearly!"
The squadron leader got impatient and came up to grab the hand of King Togyurgong Nikihiko and try to sign the anti-war statement. How could King Togyurgong Nikihiko obey? He had practiced judo and was a master.
How could he be captured without hesitation? With a violent shake of his hand, he broke free from the control of the squadron leader. He reached for the wall behind him and pulled out his sword. This angered the squadron leader. He took out the tortoise box and banged it on the back of King Nianyan of Dongjiur Palace.
Bang bang is three shots.
Several flowers of blood burst out from Queen Nianyan's back in Dongjiur Palace, and she fell limply to the ground.
The squadron leader may have known that the matter was serious, so he stepped forward and took a closer look. Fearing that Prince Higashihiko of Higashikata Palace was not dead, he shot him in the forehead again, and then turned around and walked towards Machijiri Seikichi.
Machijiri Seikichi was so shocked that he was at a loss what to do! However, he was a general who had been influenced by the Bushido spirit for a long time. He longed for the bloody battlefield life and was not afraid of death. As soon as he saw the little squadron leader coming over, he said intermittently: "You
How dare you kill Lieutenant General King Nianyan of Dongjiur Palace, you will not die well, you will be hanged!"
The squadron leader's voice seemed to come from hell, cold and piercing: "Are you going to sign or not? If you sign, I will spare your life. If you don't sign, the fate of Lieutenant General Nianyan Wang of Dongjiur Palace will be your fate!
"
At this time, Machijiri Seikichi became angry. He felt that even if he signed, he would probably die, so he cursed loudly. He cursed him with all the curse words he knew, such as being a bastard and being shameless.
Seeing that this guy was stubborn, the squadron leader waved his hand, and the bayonets of several soldiers flapped. With a few thuds, Dingjiri Seikichi fell into a pool of blood. Before he fell into coma, Machijiri Seikichi clearly heard the attack.
The captain said that the Eighth Route Army has a reward. King Nianyan of Higashijiur Palace is a lieutenant general or a prince, so he should be rewarded 30,000 yuan. Hoshikichi Machijiri is only a major general, so he can only be rewarded 10,000 yuan. Including the rewards of other soldiers and officers,
It’s totally possible to open a few stores in Tokyo.
Needless to say, this is a masterpiece of the Eighth Route Army's Third Special Operations Squadron to disguise itself as the Japanese left-behind squadron of the Sixteenth Division. The squadron leader is naturally Zhao Zhiyu, the captain of the Third Special Operations Squadron. As for why the 16th Division was framed
Liu Yimin made it very clear to the left-behind squadron that King Nianyan of Dongjiur Palace was a big shot. If he died, the Japanese army would definitely retaliate wildly and even cause many massacres, which must be framed by the Japanese army. Therefore, those soldiers stabbed with bayonets
He was very knowledgeable, and the knife penetrated the flesh, but it was just a little short of the vital point, allowing Machijiri Hoshikichi to survive.
The Japanese army soon discovered that something was wrong with the Second Army Headquarters, because the radio station could not contact them. This was a battle with the Eighth Route Army instructor division. Every Japanese officer knew what it meant when the radio station could not contact them. So, the 16th Division
, the Third Division and the Thirteenth Division, troops closer to Gaogou Town immediately swarmed in.
After the Japanese army entered Gaogou Town, they were extremely shocked by the horrors they saw. The Second Army Headquarters was taken over by the company. There were corpses of Second Army Headquarters officers and soldiers directly under the guard everywhere. Their commander
, the prestigious King Nurihiko of Higashikata Palace was dead long ago, and Chief of Staff Machijiri Hoshiyoshi was stabbed several times and fell into a coma.
This matter was so big that the Japanese troops who arrived for reinforcements surrounded Gaogou Town. Machijiri Seikichi was quickly sent to the nearest field hospital of the 16th Division for rescue. The wounded Japanese soldiers who were lucky enough to survive were also sent to the hospital.
During the rescue, the Japanese gendarmerie and secret service agencies in Xuzhou received the order and drove to Gaogou Town overnight to find out the situation.
The Japanese army captured several civilians who had no time to escape. Upon interrogation, these civilians all said in unison that the Imperial Army was killing the Imperial Army. After careful questioning, they found out that it was the Imperial Army on duty who suddenly attacked the Imperial Army while they were eating and drinking.
Well, they basically used bayonets to kill with a knife.
As a result, the Japanese army did not even dare to kill these civilians, and had to keep them as witnesses until people from the Xuzhou secret service arrived, so that they could find out the whole story and give an explanation to the emperor.
