Age of Conquest Reborn

Chapter 277: Reporter Group

Yamaguchi ordered the troops to assemble and retreat to the Fengtai garrison. This battle was impossible to fight. He never expected that a simple conflict, not even an encounter, would result in such a result. Two artillery brigades, the entire army

Over three thousand Imperial soldiers were wiped out and hated the battlefield. Whose fault was it? Yamaguchi looked at the demoralized soldiers and asked secretly in his heart.

Yamaguchi did not expect that the Chinese army, which could only hide in the fortifications for defense, would suddenly reveal its ferocious and sharp teeth and rush towards the Japanese Imperial Army, which had no fighting spirit.

The overwhelming artillery fire turned the area where the Japanese troops gathered into a sea of ​​fire. The two troops that had been lurking on the flanks for a long time were like a pair of vise, biting hard at the Japanese troops who were stunned by the shells.

The troops of the Japanese Army in the frontal position also left the fortifications and pounced fiercely towards the Japanese army. The soldiers who had held back their energy followed the explosion point of the artillery shells and reached the Japanese army almost in an instant.

Three heavy punches hit the Japanese army hard. Thousands of cavalry were like red-hot bougie passing through cheese. The Japanese army, which had not yet woken up from the bombardment, was killed to a rout. An army, no matter how powerful it was,

Although they were strong and had a tenacious will to fight, they could not help but launch a large-scale cavalry charge after being suddenly bombarded during the assembly process.

The Japanese army's will to fight was completely shattered and knocked back to its original shape. Almost before they had time to fight back, the cavalry rushed in front of them, their sharp sabers flying, and the Japanese soldiers fell to the ground screaming.

The charging troops encountered extremely weak resistance. The soldiers of the 29th Army Cavalry Brigade were not used to killing Japanese soldiers who had lost the ability to resist. The soldiers of the *** Division were not in the habit of killing those who were still breathing.

The Japanese soldiers were all dealt with neatly.

The soldiers of the cavalry brigade were seen sticking their tongues out. This battle lasted for more than five hours. More than 6,000 Japanese soldiers were left dead in the wilderness, and the grassland on the Bashang was stained red with blood.

The commander of the Yamaguchi Brigade fled with less than a squadron of soldiers. Hearing that the Yamaguchi Brigade suffered such a disastrous defeat and was almost wiped out, the commander of the Japanese North China Garrison Army, Tashiro Anichiro, was extremely angry and flew there in person.

Yamaguchi Brigade, find out about this.

When asked about the commander of Yamaguchi's brigade, which Chinese army was fighting him, Yamaguchi suddenly woke up. After fighting for most of the day, he still didn't know which army and what number it was that brought him the disaster.

Yamaguchi could only answer based on his own speculation that the commander who almost went berserk might be Song Zheyuan's unit of the 29th Army.

Tashiro slapped him with a big mouth, and his head was kicked by a donkey. Do Song Zheyuan's troops have such strong firepower and combat effectiveness? It can eat two regiments of the imperial army at once. If it is the troops of the ** division, it is entirely possible.

.

Yamaguchi really didn't know the details, so he was beaten so hard that he couldn't even figure out who was beating him. He felt that he had neglected his duty and had the idea of ​​committing suicide by caesarean section.

He was slapped awake by Tashiro's big mouths again. In view of the command error of Yamaguchi Brigade Commander, which directly led to the collective destruction of the imperial soldiers of the two regiments, the empire's military power in North China was severely weakened.

In this regard, the former brigade commander, Major General Yamaguchi, had an unshirkable responsibility and was immediately stripped of all military positions and immediately escorted back to the mainland to face trial by a military court. This was the decision of the North China Garrison Command to deal with Yamaguchi.

The top brass of the Japanese army kept the matter secret and kept silent about it to the outside world. Even within the Japanese army, it was classified as top secret and could not be spread, so as not to shake the morale of the army. The hundred or so soldiers who escaped by chance received a stern warning.

After that, they were organized into a separate unit and sent to remote areas to guard material warehouses and deal with those guns and bullets.

Tang Qiuli's conjecture was absolutely correct. The Japanese army, which had suffered such a big loss, did not make a big fuss out of this matter. Instead, it aroused Tang Qiuli's high vigilance. According to the Japanese character, there was no big move, and it was not necessarily what it was.

The good thing only shows that their decision to launch a full-scale war against China has not changed.

Only the commander Tashiro Anichiro, who was puzzled, could not rest assured about this matter. According to intelligence personnel, the main force of the ** division was besieging the bandits and Badal Hujun in Xiaowutai Mountain, and had killed two units of the Yamaguchi Brigade.

Which army was it? To say that it was the 29th Army that killed Tashiro would not be believed.

It was already a day and night before more than 10,000 Japanese soldiers gathered together urgently and rushed to the battlefield with the commander's questions. On the battlefield, apart from numerous bomb craters, not even a shadow of the enemy could be seen.

The mutilated corpses of more than 6,000 Japanese soldiers were neatly stacked on the grassland. About a hundred corpses were stomped, and more than 60 stomped corpses were displayed in front of more than 10,000 Japanese soldiers. They were horrified to see them.

My hair was dry, my eyes were straight, and cold sweat flowed down my spine and into my crotch groove.

The Japanese soldiers with intact corpses had their uniforms stripped clean, and all the intact guns and ammunition were not left at all. Not only did the enemy clean the battlefield carefully, but they also completed their criminal deeds and then left calmly.

The Japanese troops who arrived changed their profession and worked as crematorium workers. They burned the corpses of Japanese soldiers at the scene. The fire continued for five days and five nights. There were too many corpses and the choking stench did not disperse for a long time.

The people in the villages who were in the limelight were unable to sleep well due to the stench, but they did not know the source of the stench.

Tashiro, who received the report, although there was no direct evidence, he determined that this was done by the devil Qiu Li of the Blood Hand. In North China, there was no army with such a powerful destructive ability, only the ** division.

The devil's army.

But can this matter be openly negotiated with the Nanjing government? Tashiro's answer is no, remember this blood feud first, and when the empire is ready, I, Tashiro, will take Tang Qiuli's head and drink it first. Tashiro almost

Grinding my teeth.

After dealing with the mountain pass tour group, he took away all the things he could carry. Although he was wealthy and had a strong family, Tang Qiuli always advocated diligence and frugality in housekeeping, learned to live a tight life, and never wasted anything that could be used, and transported it back to Huangya Cave

In the base area, Zhang Quan and Wang Xu can be of great use.

He led his troops back to the Dongnuanquan area. A regiment of the thousands of new soldiers had been sent to escort them back to Huangyadong, bringing back a large amount of captured supplies.

The bandits and the Japanese army who had been besieged for days had lost their use value. This bait allowed the Japanese army to fly in twelve bombers and two regiments of soldiers, which was of great use. Tang Qiuli prepared to order Liu Tiehan to launch an attack.

Zhao Yuhe sent an urgent telegram, which was sent directly to Tang Qiuli by the Nanjing Military and Political Ministry. The content was that the major news agencies in Nanjing had heard that the *** division had achieved significant results in suppressing bandits in North China. The Central News Agency took the lead and jointly

Major news media across the country, as well as foreign

The news colleagues formed a joint interview team and rushed to the battlefield of bandit suppression to do on-site reporting. The joint interview reporter team, more than 200 people, has left Nanjing on a special plane today and will arrive in Peiping this evening. The commander of the ** Division Tang

Qiu Li, do your reception work well.

Tang Qiuli was very troubled. It was the big boss of the government who was full and had nothing to do. He came up with such a bad idea. Wouldn't this add chaos?

If I kill more than 20,000 Japanese at once and achieve a victory like the Taierzhuang victory, even if you come to have 2,000 reporters, I will welcome you with both hands and strengthen our national and military might.

They are just over 20,000 petty thieves. Are they worthy of such a high-profile publicity? As the saying goes, people are afraid of being famous and pigs are afraid of being strong. Life in the spotlight is difficult. Among the journalists who came, not all of them were from the military or central government.

When the time comes, I will see, my dear, your army is fat and strong, with cannons like a forest, a hundred thousand men, and soldiers like wolves and tigers. You have so much possessions, but you don't go to northern Shaanxi to suppress the Communists, but you run away.

Coming here to suppress bandits is supposed to be the job of the local security team. What do you mean? Is it not without a legitimate job, or is it just a secret and a violation of the leader's instructions?

When the time comes, I will send the photos I took and send them up. I have all the witnesses and material evidence. If I have anything to say, I will set up camp and leave immediately to fight the Red Army in northern Shaanxi. What should I do?

Tang Qiuli slapped his forehead. This matter was the idea of ​​a big shot in the government. The Ministry of Military Affairs ordered it. It couldn't be He Yingqin, right? He immediately denied that Minister He had formed a relationship with him because of Yin Rugeng's matter.

Without Liang Zi, he would not do the good deed of carrying the sedan chair for the emperor.

If an order can be issued through the Ministry of Military Affairs, it can only come from the chairman of the committee, which also means sending one of his cronies to conduct on-site inspections. The old man is so scheming that you cannot refuse.

Yes, take the call! Tang Qiuli immediately sent a telegram to Liu Tiehan, asking him to send the Tong Batu Division of the Second Cavalry Brigade and most of the special operations detachment to rush to Peiping immediately and escort the joint press group to the Xiaowutai Mountain battlefield.

Conduct on-site interviews.

Major General Tang Qiuquan, captain of the special detachment, will serve as the commander-in-chief of this escort operation. He will coordinate the various units and be fully responsible for this operation. Give enough face to these reporters. The ** division will send a general to personally protect you. The standards are high enough.

Security measures must be tight along the way to prevent accidents. If the bandits kidnap these reporters on a whim and ask for ransom, the joke will be big. Will they still be able to hang out in North China in the future?

When the press group arrived at the battlefield, they strictly controlled the reporters' movements. The reason was that this place was close to the war zone and the people surrounded were ruthless bandits and desperadoes. For the sake of their own safety, they had no choice but to do so.

The interview routes and areas were stipulated. What they were not allowed to see must not be seen. Get them back to Peking as soon as possible. Those guns, cannons, etc. should be hidden. Tang Qiuli smiled bitterly to himself and did the same thing.

Like a thief.

At the end of the telegram, he sent Liu Tiehan a sentence: "A good man hides his secrets, and a gentleman's virtues are as good as nothing." He believed that when Liu Tiehan saw this sentence, he would understand his intentions and handle the matter flawlessly.

.

He led his troops and quietly drove back to Peiping. The news of Song Zheyuan's assassination was deliberately exaggerated by the Japanese. Rumors were already spreading in Peiping City, and people were panicked. Various forces came to the front and jumped to the front, trying to fill the power vacuum. Fortunately,

The 29th Army has not made any changes yet, and there are a lot of discussions in private.

I have to go back and clean up this mess in Peiping myself.
