Chapter 147 The First Battalion of the National Army!
Hefei, Japanese Central China Front Army Headquarters.
General Hata Toshiro was just about to go back to his room to sleep when the chief of staff, Lieutenant General Okabe, walked in with a serious expression. He immediately put his feet back and stood at attention and said: "Your Excellency, the Sixth Field Artillery Brigade was attacked at a small station thirty miles south of Xuzhou.
The Chinese army made a surprise attack, and Major General Miyamoto's jade was shattered on the spot, all large-caliber heavy artillery was lost, and personnel and supplies were also severely damaged!"
"What?" General Hata Jun6 stood up suddenly and said in disbelief, "The Sixth Field Heavy Artillery Brigade!?"
"Hai." Lieutenant General Okabe lowered his head suddenly and said, "This is indeed unbelievable, but it is true."
"Baga." General Hata Toshiro said with bulging veins on his forehead, and suddenly became furious, "Didn't the aviation force and the Special High School Division have repeatedly confirmed that there is no longer an organized Chinese army within 300 miles of Xuzhou? So the sneak attack on the sixth field
Where did this Chinese army of the heavy artillery brigade come from, eh?"
The Sixth General Hata Shun couldn't help but be angry, or in other words, he couldn't help being nervous.
The Sixth Field Heavy Artillery Brigade is not an ordinary force, it is almost a strategic-level force!
The sixth field heavy artillery brigade can be called a strategic force because the brigade is equipped with more than a hundred large-caliber field heavy artillery. There is almost nothing that cannot be destroyed by the front of these hundreds of large-caliber heavy artillery.
Under the attack of more than a hundred heavy artillery pieces, the Chinese fortifications, no matter how strong they are, are as vulnerable as tofu!
However, now, Xuzhou has not yet been captured, the Longhai Line and the Jinpu Railway have not yet been opened, and the Battle of Wuhan has not even really begun. More than a hundred field heavy artillery pieces of the 6th Field Heavy Artillery Brigade have been destroyed overnight.
This was an unprecedented heavy blow to the Central China Front Army or the entire Imperial Japanese Army!
You must know that the entire Japanese invaders were only equipped with six heavy artillery brigades in total. It was not that the Japanese base camp did not want to equip the Japanese invaders with more heavy artillery brigades, but that they could not afford them because they lacked both resources and
Financial resources, six heavy artillery brigades are their limit!
As for the Central China Front Army, there were only two heavy artillery brigades.
Now, one guy has lost a heavy artillery brigade. It is no wonder that General Hata Shun is eager to find a scapegoat, because he knows very well that the sixth field heavy artillery brigade has been destroyed. This is definitely a big event. The Japanese base camp and Zai Ren
The prince will definitely pursue the responsibility, and maybe His Majesty the Emperor will also personally intervene.
To put it bluntly, the destruction of the 6th Field Heavy Artillery Brigade was almost as serious as the annihilation of a standing division!
This was a huge blow to the morale of the imperial army, and in turn, it was a huge encouragement to the Chinese army. It is conceivable that in a few days, the headlines of major Chinese newspapers will inevitably
This incident will be exaggerated and reported again, and the Western media will inevitably cynicize the Japanese army again.
Once the entire incident has a negative impact domestically and internationally, the Headquarters General Staff Headquarters will definitely have to try to restore the impact. If General Hata Shunroku does not first shift the responsibility to the commander of the aviation corps, Major General Naoka Tadharu, or the director of the Special Higher Education Department, then he himself will
If you have to take responsibility for this, you have to "return to your country to report on your work."
Lieutenant General Okabe could understand the mood of General Hata Shunroku, but he still spoke sincerely: "Your Excellency, General, it is not yet time to investigate the responsibility. The top priority is to send a message to the fifth field heavy artillery brigade that is advancing westward along the Longhai Line.
I remind Mr. Xiao Lin to be more vigilant and never make the same mistake as the 6th Heavy Artillery Brigade in the field."
"Yo Xi." General Hata Shun nodded in horror, "Okabe-kun's words make sense, so I will do as you say."
…
Huangzang Valley, Ruiyun Temple.
Special operations team leader Liu Tiezhu entered the wing panting, suddenly stood at attention and said: "Travel seat."
Yue Weihan, who was resting on the futon with his eyes closed, suddenly stood up and said eagerly: "Have you escaped from the death camp?"
Although reason told Yue Weihan that going to the death camp would definitely lead to death or no life, he still had some illusions in his heart, dreaming about a miracle happening. In the end, what Yue Weihan cared about most was never the military merit, but the officers and soldiers.
His safety was in danger, so the first thing that came out of his mouth was not whether the death camp had completed its mission, but whether the death camp had escaped.
Liu Tiezhu suddenly looked sad and choked up: "We got away, but... there are only six brothers left."
"Six!?" Yue Weihan suddenly looked miserable upon hearing this, and immediately raised his head suddenly. Chu Zhongtian noticed that the eyes of the hard-hearted traveler were already filled with tears!
…
Wuhan camp, General Staff War Room.
General He Yingqin let out a long yawn, and when he was about to go back to his room to rest, Vice President Bai suddenly walked in in a hurry and said loudly: "Chief, Xuzhou Baoshan Brigade has an urgent call!"
"Oh?" General He asked anxiously, "How do you say that?"
Judging from Vice President Bai's expression, General He knew there was good news.
"Yue Weihan has won another big victory!" Vice Commander Bai said excitedly, "The death battalion directly under the Baoshan Brigade secretly attacked the Sixth Japanese Field Heavy Artillery Brigade stationed in Sansanlipu at night, destroying more than a hundred gates.
The large-caliber field heavy artillery also killed and injured thousands of Japanese troops, and destroyed dozens of tons of war materials. The results were great!"
"What did you say, you destroyed the Japanese Army's 6th Field Heavy Artillery Brigade!?"
When General He heard this, his expression suddenly changed, and the senior advisers in the war room also showed expressions of disbelief.
"This is impossible." A senior staff officer yelled even more uncontrollably, "Why should a Japanese field heavy artillery brigade have the garrison strength of an infantry brigade? It might even be an infantry regiment, even the Baoshan Brigade.
Even if the entire brigade is mobilized, we probably won’t be able to annihilate a heavy artillery brigade within a few hours, right?”
"Lying!" Another senior counselor also echoed loudly, "Yue Weihan must be lying!"
Although General He was very optimistic about Yue Weihan, he couldn't believe it. He turned back and looked at Vice President Bai.
Vice Commander Bai sighed and said: "The commander-in-chief did not know that this sneak attack by the death camp directly under the Baoshan Brigade was actually a suicide attack. After breaking into the Japanese position with powerful assault firepower, the officers and soldiers of the death battalion pulled out one after another.
The grenades detonated the ammunition. From the beginning, they had no intention of coming back alive, so they were able to achieve such great results!"
"That's it." General He nodded solemnly and said, "Heroes, these are all heroes!"
The senior staff officers who had been questioning loudly just now suddenly became silent, and then stood in awe again.
Although what Deputy Chief Bai said was calm, most of these senior staff officers had grown up on the firing line. They seemed to have seen the brave and fearless national army soldiers firing grenades on the battlefield filled with artillery fire. Without hesitation, he jumped into the ammunition box full of artillery shells, and immediately there was an earth-shaking huge explosion.
This is the real sacrifice of life, this is the real death squad, this is the real hero!
Vice Commander Bai's solemn tone sounded again, saying: "In this battle, only six officers and soldiers of the death battalion directly under the Baoshan Brigade survived, and the remaining 568 people all died heroically for their country!" As he said that, Vice Commander Bai put his hand in his hand again. He handed over the message and said, "This is the list of fallen soldiers of the death camp, as well as their credentials."
General He stretched out his hands, took the message with a solemn expression, then turned around and walked away quickly.
Vice-Chairman Bai also hurriedly followed. He knew that General He wanted to urgently submit this news and the list of names of fallen soldiers to Chairman Chiang. Vice-Chairman Bai also fully imagined that he would become Chairman of the Generalissimo Chiang Kai-shek. How will you feel after hearing this news and seeing this list? This death camp will probably become famous all over the world again.
…
Chairman Chiang's official residence, study room.
After listening to Vice Chairman Bai's narration, Chairman Chiang suddenly felt that the hairs all over his body stood up!
Looking at the long list of fallen soldiers, Chairman Chiang burst into tears again.
Death squads are not new in the battle sequence of the Chinese army, and desperate attacks are commonplace for the Chinese army. In the Battle of Songhu, the Gui army once organized a super death squad of tens of thousands of people, and almost all of them were killed. But these None of the death squad soldiers who fought bravely and died for their country had never moved Chairman Chiang in this way.
What really moved Chairman Chiang was the huge results achieved by the death battalion directly under the Baoshan Brigade in the face of absolute disadvantage!
Looking at the death squads of other national army teams, most of them launched desperate charges under the premise of having an absolute advantage in strength, and the results they achieved were meager. However, the death battalion directly under the Baoshan Brigade used an absolutely inferior strength to attack ten times the enemy. He launched a desperate charge against his Japanese troops and achieved incredible results!
With only one battalion, they dared to counterattack a Japanese field heavy artillery brigade, and they succeeded in the end!
What the death battalion directly under the Baoshan Brigade killed this time was not the artillery regiment of the Japanese field division, let alone the artillery squadron or artillery battalion of the infantry regiment, but the field heavy artillery brigade directly under the Japanese strategic front! The field heavy artillery brigade This is the lifeblood of the Japanese army. The death battalion directly under the Baoshan Brigade really inflicted heavy damage on the Japanese army this time!
Such a result is not inferior even to the complete annihilation of the fifth and tenth Japanese divisions on the Lunan battlefield!
Thinking about such heroic soldiers and facing such glorious results, if Chairman Chiang still sheds a few tears, then he is not even a qualified politician.
"Heroes, they are all heroes!" Chairman Jiang gently wiped the tears from the corner of his eyes with his sleeves, then turned around and said to General He in an unquestionable tone, "With all due respect, tomorrow morning you will invite all Chinese and foreign media in Wuhan Reporters, inform the world about the great victory in Xuzhou achieved by the death camp directly under the Baoshan Brigade! Then engrave this list of fallen soldiers on the monument to the martyrs outside the uprising gate. Tomorrow at noon, the national flag will be flown at half-mast, and the people of the country will mourn together!"
"Yes!" General He snapped to attention, turned around and left.
Watching General He leave quickly, Generalissimo Chiang strode to the desk in a troubled mood. Next to him, Wang Shihe, the chief of the national guard, quickly spread out the rice paper and prepared the wolf hair. Chairman Chiang mentioned the wolf and walked away without hesitation.
Dragon and snake, in an instant, eight flying calligraphy characters appeared on the snow-white rice paper: First Battalion of the National Revolutionary Army!
