Base System of Bashu Heroes

Chapter 114: Elite Showdown IX

Liu Tianchu, who had lost his mind, was about to continue falling with his sword. Li Dayong, who had quick hands and quick eyes, rushed forward and hugged him tightly: "Military seat! No!"

Liu Tianchu broke free from Li Dayong's hands and sat slumped on the ground, looking at Liu Ling's body dully with a blank expression on his face.

Li Dayong looked at Nakamura Takai angrily, and still repeated Liu Tianchu's words: "Say! Who sent you here?"

Nakamura Takami's lips trembled. "It's Nakamura. Captain Nakamura wanted us to spy on important organs of the Sichuan Army. The assassination of the major general was just a coincidence!"

Nakamura Takai's words confirmed Li Dayong's judgment. "How many teams do people like you have? Where is Nakamura's current position?"

"There is another team in Xuzhou, and Chief Nakamura is currently in Huoqiu!" Nakamura Takai answered hurriedly.

There is another team in Xuzhou. This is tantamount to a time bomb. Li Dayong turned to look at Liu Tianchu. At this time, Liu Tianchu was still immersed in grief and looked at Liu Ling's body with dull eyes. "Military officer, what should I do with him?"

Li Dayong pointed at Nakamura Takai and asked cautiously.

Liu Tianchu said one word from between his teeth: "Kill!"

Ronghua, Li Dayong and others didn't know whether Liu Tianchu was in good condition, was it an assumption or an order for revenge? Leaving Nakamura Takai behind would be of great use in destroying the Sakura Suicide Squad. The two looked at each other, not knowing what to do.

Liu Tianchu's words were orders. As soon as he finished speaking, the officers and soldiers of the 1st, 3rd and 4th Divisions who came after hearing the news all pulled out their bayonets, and hundreds of bayonets were thrust straight into them. Nakamura Takai was bleeding profusely in an instant. Nakamura Takai, who had done many evil things, still

Mirai had no time to grunt and fell to the ground.

Liu Tianchu stood up, calmed down, and said to Zhao Zhihao, the commander of Liu Ling's guard battalion: "During the war, there is no pomp and circumstance. The funeral is held overnight. The coffin is transported back to its hometown in Chengdu. You and others are responsible for escorting it!"

Zhao Zhihao cried: "Military! Can you send someone else? I want to avenge the division commander!"

Liu Tianchu patted him on the shoulder: "Execute the order! Master Liu's revenge will definitely be avenged!"

The tearful officers and soldiers of the 134th Division transported Liu Ling's body back to the military headquarters. Liu Tianchu rushed Zhou Yaowu to Mengcheng overnight to temporarily act as the commander of the 134th Division. Lang Yi and Jiang Hui'an learned the bad news of Liu Ling's death and walked hundreds of miles at night.

Arriving at Mengcheng, the two of them caressed the body and cried bitterly.

When Chu Tianbang was sorting out Liu Ling's belongings, he found a white flag filled with calligraphy. Chu Tianbang didn't know the calligraphy, so he gave it to Liu Tianchu. Liu Tianchu unfolded the white flag at the military headquarters, with a big word "death" prominently placed in the middle.

There are a few lines of small words next to it, and the letter reads: "I don't want you to be filial, but I only want you to be loyal to the nation. When the country is in crisis, the Japanese invaders are ferocious, the rise and fall of the country, everyone has a share, I want to serve, but I am older, fortunately I have a son

, consciously ask for a tassel, give a flag, carry it with you at all times, wipe the blood when you are injured, wrap yourself up after death, move forward bravely, do not forget your duty, father's handwriting!"

After everyone read it, their eyes filled with enthusiasm again. Rong Hua, who had always been as cold as ice, was already bursting into tears. Jiang Hui'an, whose face was full of tears, sighed with emotion: "Liu Ling has a father worthy of respect!"

Zhao Zhihao, commander of Liu Ling's guard battalion on the side, said: "This flag is not from the division. It is a flag sewn by a father himself for his son when the Sichuan army came out of Sichuan. The soldier died in the Nanjing defense battle. When cleaning the battlefield,

, a blood-stained death flag was found on his body and was collected by the division commander."

Everyone was silent. Although they didn't know the father's surname, he represented thousands of fathers. Liu Tianchu wiped his tears and said: "This is the expectation of the elders in our hometown for us. Go forward bravely and don't forget your duty! Pass the order.

Copy it on multiple sides and use it as the military flag of our Sichuan Army."

"Yes!" Ronghua agreed in a deep voice, turned around and went out to take care of things.

After sending off Liu Ling's coffin, at three o'clock in the morning the next day, on the outer positions of Bengbu, the Sichuan Army's death flag fluttered in the wind. Under the death flag, Liu Tianchu, wrapped in mourning cloth, had eyes like lightning. He glanced at the crowd and said loudly: "One, three

Brothers of the Fourth Division! Your commander Liu Ling was brutally murdered, and the culprit was Tanaka Seiichi, the commander of the 13th Division in Bengbu City. If you want to avenge Commander Liu, you must first capture Bengbu, but Bengbu City is strong and powerful.

Are you afraid?"

"Don't be afraid!" the rough men screamed.

"Very good!" Liu Tianchu took another step forward and pointed at the flag with the word "death". The officers and soldiers below stood upright. "As we all know, there is no precedent for any ** army to use a white flag as a military flag. This flag with the word "death" is not only for you.

The relics of Commander Liu Ling are also the high hopes that the elders in Sichuan hometown have for our Sichuan Army. Brothers, under the banner of death, the children of Bashu will never flinch or show off. Let us use our blood to dye this flag red..."

Before Liu Tianchu finished speaking, someone in the team yelled, "Capture Tanaka Shizuichi alive and crush Bengbu!"

"Capture Tanaka Shizuichi alive, and flatten Bengbu... Capture Tanaka Shizuichi alive, and flatten Bengbu..." The excited officers and soldiers of the 134th Division roared loudly, and the roars of capturing Tanaka Shizuichi alive rose and fell with each other, resounding through the sky.

As the battle order was issued, the entire position was boiling. The Sichuan army launched an attack on Bengbu one day in advance. Zhou Yaowu, the new commander of the 134th Division with an artillery background, commanded two artillery regiments to violently bombard the outer positions of Bengbu. An overwhelming amount of artillery shells hit the Japanese army.

The positions exploded everywhere, and the Japanese army cried for their mothers after being bombed. The artillery fire had not stopped yet, and the officers and soldiers of the 134th Division rushed towards Bengbu like crazy with the hatred of losing their division commander. They were so powerful that they defeated several peripheral positions and rushed to Bengbu.

Under the city.

In Bengbu City, Li Dayong, who had sneaked into Bengbu in advance, divided the Snow Fox Rangers into three groups. One group cut off the communications of the Japanese army in Bengbu and set fire everywhere. The other group attacked the arsenal. He himself led the group directly to the Japanese army headquarters.

Tanaka Shizuichi, who was stationed in Bengbu and was about to command Suzhou's main force to attack Xuzhou, felt very happy when he learned that the Sakura Death Squadron had achieved another success and assassinated Liu Ling, the commander of the 134th Division of the Sichuan Army. The Sichuan Army suffered a heavy loss in front of him. First, the entire armored battalion was wiped out.

, Liujiayao, and Huoqiu positions were captured one after another, and the commander of the 134th Division was assassinated by the Sakura Death Squadron. These achievements were enough to make him proud in front of Okamura Neji.

Tanaka Shizuichi, who smiled even in his sleep, was awakened by a rapid knock on the door. Adjutant Matsushita Kei was outside and almost smashed the door. "Your Majesty General, urgent battle report."

The bleary-eyed Tanaka Jing glanced at the wall clock in the bedroom. The time pointed to three in the morning. He put on his clothes and got up and opened the door. "Baga! What can't be said tomorrow?"

Matsushita Hui hurriedly bowed and apologized: "Your Majesty General, I'm sorry, the military situation is urgent, and my subordinates must disturb me. I came to report in front of the formation. The Sichuan troops who had withdrawn to Shandong suddenly turned back from Yongcheng and have already arrived at the gates of Bengbu City."

"What?" Tanaka Shizuichi was shocked when he heard this. The main force of the Thirteenth Division was in Suzhou, and the first division was fighting in Fengtai. There was only one regiment stationed in Bengbu. The Sichuan Army retreated to Shandong with more than 20,000 people from two divisions. Suddenly

Turning back, Nakamura was right.

Tanaka Shizuichi got dressed and came to the headquarters. In the headquarters, officers of all sizes were already on standby. The atmosphere was very serious. Tanaka Shizuichi smiled disapprovingly: "Don't worry, everyone. I want nothing more than the Sichuan Army attacking Bengbu. All you have to do is work together and hold on."

, the Sichuan army can surround and annihilate it at any time." He immediately ordered: "Order the main force of Suzhou to return to Bengbu to aid Bengbu, and at the same time notify General Okamura Neiji that Bengbu will hold on for at least seven days, hoping that he will complete the strategic deployment and annihilate Liu Tianchu under Bengbu City."

Okamura Neiji, who was far away in Wuhan, received a telegram from Tanaka Shizuichi. Okamura Neiji also laughed heartily. Liu Tianchu's move was exactly what he wanted. Tanaka Shizuichi did not have to hold on for seven days, three days was enough. He immediately ordered:

"Itagaki's 5th Division moved at full speed to reinforce Bengbu, Yoshizumi's 9th Division on the Sulu border moved closer to Bengbu, and Qingdao Shinozuka Yoshio's 10th Division accelerated its attack on Jinan."

With four elite divisions facing off against three armies of the Sichuan Army, Okamura Neiji was full of confidence. He originally thought Liu Tianchu would retreat to Shandong and defend, but he did not expect that he would take the initiative to attack Bengbu and three northern Anhui divisions to deal with Liu Tianchu's famous Er.

The five divisions of the Twelfth Army can be said to be a sure chance of victory. As for the Twenty-first Army and Pan Wenhua's Twenty-third Army stationed in Qilu, Okamura Neiji didn't take it seriously at all. The Twenty-first Army and the Twenty-third Army were stationed there

Qi Lu has been doing nothing, so he feels that the two armies of Pan Wenhua and Chen Jiaqi are no different from the Gui Army, Yunnan Army, and Guangdong Army that are about to collapse in front of the Japanese Imperial Army. As long as the 22nd Army is annihilated, Shandong can easily achieve it. So after issuing the order,

Okamura Neji continued to sleep soundly.

At the headquarters of the 13th Division in Bengbu, flakes of battle reports seemed to be flying on Tanaka Shizuichi's desk. In less than two hours after the war started, the outer positions of Bengbu were lost one after another, and the Sichuan army had already arrived at Bengbu City. A frustrated Tanaka Shizuichi yelled at Matsushita Hui: "

Pass on my order to defend the Bengbu city wall, and those who continue to lose ground will be punished on the spot."

Matsushita Kei carefully replied: "Your Majesty General, the communication has been destroyed and the phone is completely blocked. In the current situation, do you want to notify Colonel Nakamura to come back for reinforcements?"

Nakamura had already reminded him that the Sichuan army might intend to attack Bengbu, but he did not listen to Nakamura's advice. Asking Nakamura to return reinforcements at this time was like a slap in the face. "The main force has returned to Suzhou for reinforcements, and Itagaki's division is also on the way. Nakamura is returning reinforcements."

It’s just a drop in the bucket. If the phone doesn’t work, use the transmitter instead. You go down and make arrangements!”

Tanaka Jingyi finished speaking feebly and fell down in his chair dejectedly. He had already had a premonition that this battle would be a disaster. The military law said that the Ai army would win. He underestimated the enemy. The Sichuan army's artillery fire was fierce and the advance speed was inconsistent with his own.

It was far from what he expected, but he still had another trump card in his hand. Thinking of this, he walked towards Akie Koji's residence.
