Age of Conquest Reborn

Chapter 297 Military Exercise (2)

The Japanese are so blind that they still don’t know that these old brothers will kill you sooner or later. What are the Japanese thinking all day long but they still can’t tell?

Tian Erniu had a fierce ideological struggle in his heart. The sense of responsibility of a soldier and the conscience of the Chinese people prompted him to make up his mind. He gritted his teeth and risked his life and was shot by the military court.

He raised his 38-gun, but he was clever enough not to point the gun at the backs of the Japanese soldiers, but towards the sky.

"Bang" a gunshot, the sharp gunshot pierced the quiet night sky, sounding particularly harsh and loud.

The sound of gunfire activated the forward position of the 258th Regiment. The dim soldiers of the 258th Regiment were awakened by the sound of gunfire. A burst of nervous shouts and the sound of pulling the gun bolt rang out in the dark night.

There was a tense atmosphere of imminent war.

About 500 meters away from the forward position of the 258th Regiment, a series of flashlights suddenly lit up, illuminating the night sky with a white sky, like the eyes of a hungry wolf, shining coldly in the dark night.

Then there was a burst of laughter in Japanese, and a shout in blunt Chinese: "Sino soldiers, don't be nervous, these are soldiers of the Imperial Japanese Army, conducting a simulation exercise of night attack subjects, and they regard you as the target of the exercise!"

After shouting, these Japanese soldiers swaggered away from the forward position of the 258th Regiment, laughing and playing unscrupulously. When they passed by Tian Erniu and the others' lurking position, they deliberately used a flashlight to shine for a while, and there were several

A Japanese soldier was making obscene gestures, as if he was demonstrating to the Chinese.

Tian Erniu let out a long breath, and his whole body was soaked with sweat. One team after another of Japanese soldiers passed in front of him. He counted secretly. There were about a thousand people. This was the establishment of a Japanese brigade.

, he felt that the matter was serious and decided to report back to the regiment immediately.

Arranged a few veterans to stay here, and told them to quickly change the location of the latent post. Then, he quickly disappeared into the darkness. The squad leader left, and the remaining soldiers seemed to have been taken away with their full courage. The dark night

Among them, there seemed to be countless pairs of Japanese wolf eyes, staring closely at this small, isolated unit.

Tian Erniu returned to the forward position. The 258th Regiment had already become a frightened bird. The slightest movement would cause the sentry to yell at him. The soldiers widened their eyes nervously and stared blankly at the dark night sky.

It was like those ghostly Japanese soldiers suddenly appeared in front of him, their bright bayonets ready to pierce his chest at any time.

As soon as Tian Erniu entered the position, he met their battalion commander head-on. This battalion commander was even more embarrassed. When Tian Erniu's gunfire sounded, the battalion commander was sleeping heavily. He had a drink with some fellow villagers last night.

I drank too much if I wasn't careful.

The battalion commander didn't take the first-level combat readiness order conveyed by the military headquarters at all. If the Japanese wanted to destroy us, they would have done it long ago. How can we survive until now? Besides, with our few broken guns,

Can he defeat the Japanese? The battalion commander had already made up his mind. As soon as the Japanese fired, he would surrender immediately. There was no need to risk his life here.

As soon as the gunfire rang out, the battalion commander surnamed Liu was so excited that he hurriedly ran out of the shell-proof hole without caring about his clothes, and found a place with few people to hide. He also thought to himself that the Japanese would take action as soon as they said it, so they had to do it in advance.

There are no signs.

After squinting for a while, there was no movement. He moved forward cautiously and fearfully, and saw the soldiers from the main battalion, all waiting there. It turned out that the Japanese had not attacked. He immediately became more courageous, and happened to meet Tian Erniu head-on.

When he heard that it was Tian Erniu who fired the gun, he immediately became furious. He stared at his red eyes and smelled of alcohol. He had long disliked this kid. He was just like a fucking wooden prong, and he was not enlightened at all.

Son, no one above the squad leader in the whole camp paid me tribute, but this stubborn guy didn't give me a cent.

I kept telling myself the opposite, but now I had the handle. The superiors repeatedly issued strict orders that shooting would never be allowed. This was a violation of military law. Battalion Commander Liu immediately shouted: "Come here, give Tian Erniu."

I'll tie him up and shoot him tomorrow to see if he dares to disobey military orders!"

Several of Battalion Commander Liu's cronies rushed forward, tied Tian Erniu up tightly, and escorted him into a shell-proof hole, waiting to carry out the battalion commander's order tomorrow.

Tian Erniu was dissatisfied. This was still a huge grievance. If he didn't fire the gun to call the police, if the Japanese pretended to be real, all the brothers in our regiment would become the victims of the Japanese. Liu Ying

It was obvious that the chief was avenging a private vendetta.

No matter how loud he shouted, no one paid any attention to him. The rest of the soldiers were holding back their anger in their hearts. However, intimidated by Battalion Commander Liu's power, they dared to be angry but dare not speak. This man surnamed Liu was ruthless.

Hei, in fact, drank a lot of soldiers' blood. Because he and the regiment commander were brothers, no one could offend him. Even the chief of staff gave him three points when he met him.

Er Niu died unjustly. He saved the lives of all the brothers in the regiment. So what? Who asked someone to be an official? Our lives are all in their hands.

The tense night finally passed. Everything that happened last night was like a dream. The terrifying flashlight light, like the devil's eyes, remained deeply in the hearts of the soldiers of the 258th Regiment, and Tian Erniu

, just a victim.

As the sky brightened, Tang Qiuli had already rushed to the rear of the 258th Regiment's position. Looking from a distance, he could see that there was an atmosphere of turmoil and unrest in the lifeless position, as if there was a deep fear in the air.

The silent flow, everything was too abnormal, something must have happened here, Tang Qiuli made a judgment in his heart.

This scene last night was part of the carefully planned Ping-Tianjin strategy by the commander of the Japanese North China Garrison, Amiichiro Tashiro. In the name of an exercise, he transferred two field regiments to the vicinity of Wanping and reorganized them with the original troops.

It is a force commanded by Army Major General Yuan Shanjin, former deputy chief of staff of the North China Garrison Army.

The location where the 258th Regiment is stationed is very important. It protects the safety of Wanping City on the flanks and forms a horns relationship with Wanping. Once Wanping is attacked, the 258th Regiment can attack the attacking troops from behind.

A blow.

Wanping City also guards the Marco Polo Bridge, the only link between Peiping and the outside world. If Wanping is captured, Peiping will be a dead city, and the Japanese army will be surrounded on all sides. The troops of the 29th Army in the city will not be able to escape.

Therefore, the area defended by the 258th Regiment has become a worry for Tashiro. If it is stuck in his throat, he will try to get it as soon as possible.

Tashiro instructed Susumu Harayama to look for opportunities to seize the position of the 258th Regiment and push the Imperial Japanese Army to the foot of Wanping City. Once the base camp orders a war, immediately seize Wanping City, control Marco Polo Bridge, and block the last resort of the 29th Army.

A retreat route to annihilate the Chinese army in North China on the spot.

Susumu Harayama is an ambitious and daring guy with strong militarist ideas. From the day he joined the Japanese army, he swore allegiance to His Majesty the Emperor and opened up new territories for the Empire of Japan, even if it meant sacrificing his own life.

.

The Harayama family participated in the Sino-Japanese Sino-Japanese War and the Russo-Japanese War, and their ancestors had many military exploits. In Harayama's generation, only Harayama Susumu had achieved a certain status in the army, and the family gradually declined.

Harayama was not satisfied with the prestigious but powerless position of deputy chief of staff at the North China Garrison Command of the Empire of Japan. He longed to ride on the battlefield and make achievements. Yamaguchi defeated Baihuashan and a regiment of soldiers were shattered. It was Harayama who participated in the battle.

Yamaguchi's questioning and many tricks were done in it, which finally made Yamaguchi sadly resign and was relegated to another position at the headquarters.

Harayama has long coveted the position of commander of the Yamaguchi Brigade. Now, he finally has the opportunity to lead the troops. Although Mr. Tashiro is very stingy, he only gave two regiments of soldiers. Together with the original troops, it barely reaches the standard of a second-class brigade.

, Yuan Shan is already very satisfied.

He was very dissatisfied with Tashiro's order to wait for an opportunity. What is waiting for an opportunity, but waiting for an opportunity? Mr. Tashiro is too cautious. In the dictionary of the Japanese Emperor, the word "wait" will never be found.

He did not think that the 29th Army, which was called a miscellaneous unit in the Chinese army, was his opponent. As long as the base camp gave an order, Yuan Shan could lead thousands of elites to capture Beiping City in one fell swoop, leaving the Chinese people

The blood washes away the ancestral sword and makes it shine again.

Although he later joined the North China Army Division, and as a senior officer of the North China Garrison Army, he had long heard about the brilliant achievements of the Anti-Japanese Blood Hands Regiment, the predecessor of the North China Army Corps, in Manchuria, but Yuan Shan was deeply disapproving of it.

In his opinion, this was an excuse made up by the Kwantung Army to cover up its incompetence. It used this grand reason to cover up the fact that its officers and soldiers had no combat effectiveness.

Although the Kwantung Army is known as the "Flower of the Army" of the empire, it has been stationed in Manchuria for more than thirty years. The backbone of the Manchurian sorghum wine and the charming Manchu women have long been taken away, and the fighting spirit and strong muscles have been corroded. The Kwantung Army has already

Aged.

There has been no large-scale battle for more than thirty years. The Manchuria Incident was called a battle, which was almost like chasing a duck. As for fighting against the red beards of the Anti-Japanese Alliance, it had no technical content.

, does it still deserve to be called an opponent? In this way, the hundreds of thousands of elite troops of the Kwantung Army have not been eliminated yet.

I really don’t know what the base camp thinks about it. Yuanshan is like a hungry wolf with bared teeth, looking at the misty Beiping City, mobilizing all his ruthlessness, ready to pounce on and bite you hard at any time.

The opportunity came when Song Zheyuan resigned as commander of the 29th Army. Yuan Shanjin, who was well versed in the inside story of the Chinese *** Corps, knew that the long-term shortcomings of the Chinese Communist Corps and the transfer or resignation of the top officer would cause turmoil and unrest within the army.

, everyone is thinking about their own future. In the words of the Chinese, it is "one emperor and one courtier."

Susumu Harayama did not hesitate. He judged that the 258th Regiment of the 29th Army opposite was now in panic and the morale of the army was unstable. He immediately mobilized his troops and began to implement a military operation he called the "Harayama Plan"

.

When it came to such a major military operation, Harayama Susumu did not even report it to the North China Garrison Headquarters. He believed that since Lord Tashiro called for "waiting for opportunities", now is the perfect opportunity.
