Predator Reborn

Chapter 236 The End of the Counter-Encirclement and Suppression (1)

"Your Excellency, Brigade Commander, please wait a moment..." The deputy who was also at the headquarters suddenly hugged the Brigade Commander, who was about to chop him down with a knife, and said.

"Baga, Nakamura-kun, do you think what he said is correct? The excellent Imperial Army of Japan will be completely destroyed..." Sakai asked doubtfully.

"Your Excellency, Brigade Commander, I really don't believe that nearly two brigades of the Imperial Army were ambushed and destroyed by the Eighth Route Army again. However, we cannot make a decision until we are sure. After I requested to contact the Chief of Staff, I asked the team leader in front of me

Conduct military justice so that the majesty of our Imperial Army of Japan can be reflected." the deputy replied.

"Yo Xi, what Nakamura-kun said is very correct. Our Imperial Japanese Army is very disciplined. Okay, lock up this squad leader first. Nakamura-kun, please contact the chief of staff who is pursuing the Eighth Route Army immediately. I

Do you want to know his current situation?" Sakai took back his command sword and ordered.

"Hi..." Nakamura nodded and ran towards the radio station next to the headquarters.

However, in less than five minutes, he saw Colonel Nakamura looking nervous and running back to the headquarters in a hurry. Seeing Nakamura's face, Sakai suddenly had an ominous premonition in his heart, and he no longer had the momentum and intention to kill just now.

Confidence in the Imperial Army…

"Nakamura-kun, is there any problem? What happened? Are you so anxious?" Major General Sakai asked, his words no longer had the same confidence as before, but a trace of panic.

"Hey, brigade commander, we can't contact the chief of staff using the radio. We have tried the radio stations of several brigades, but there is no response from the chief of staff... I have just sent out all the remaining cavalry. Soon

The latest news is coming." Nakamura nodded in reply.

"Baga...how could this happen? Where did the two brigades of elite imperial troops and the Eighth Route Army come from so many cavalry troops? Impossible, impossible..." Sakai was completely panicked and roared loudly.

"Hey, brigade commander, it's not yet possible to judge whether the chief of staff has died for the country. I suggest that the entire army set off immediately with the goal of Jinzhong County. There are only less than 2,000 troops left around us, and we can easily be surrounded by the Eighth Route Army.

Of..." Nakamura reminded, lowering his head.

"Baga, why are you still standing there? Order the troops to gather quickly. Open the road immediately. The target is Jinzhong County." After listening to his deputy's suggestion, Sakai quickly nodded in agreement. Because he was deeply afraid that the cunning independent division of the Eighth Route Army would pop up from somewhere else.

Countless troops surrounded and destroyed all the remaining troops.

"Hey, I'm going to order the troops to move forward quickly." Nakamura immediately fled the angry headquarters.

In this way, Sakai led the entire brigade, which had less than 2,000 troops left, and ran toward the county town in embarrassment. The entire army could no longer see the air and power it had at the beginning of the sweep. However, after the troops marched for less than an hour,

At that time, the entire army suddenly stopped...

"Baga, Nakamura-kun, why did you stop suddenly? Doesn't the vanguard squadron know that if you stay outside the city for one more minute, the troops will be in more danger?" Sakai frowned when he saw the remaining soldiers who had stopped and blocked the road.

He raised his eyebrows.

"Hey, brigade commander, I'm going to take a look right now. Order the troops to speed up their advance." After Nakamura finished speaking, he led his horse to the side of the team and galloped towards the front of the team.

However, before he reached the front of the team, bursts of pungent smell of blood hit his face, making him, who had been through the battlefield for a long time, couldn't help but sneeze. As he continued to move forward, the smell of blood became even stronger.

The feeling is so strong. Looking at the soldiers on the road, everyone is staring blankly at the wilderness not far away.

"Baga, what's going on? Why don't you keep moving forward?" Nakamura tightened the reins of his horse and stopped in front of the captain of the vanguard squadron. Until this moment, Nakamura's attention had been on the soldiers on the road, and he did not

Focus on the wilderness not far from the road.

"Colonel...Your Majesty Colonel...Look there..." The squadron leader of the vanguard squadron opened his mouth wide, raised his trembling right hand, and pointed to the wilderness next to the highway.

Nakamura raised his head, followed the direction of the squadron leader's finger, and looked over suspiciously. For a moment, Nakamura's eyes straightened, his mouth opened, and he couldn't say a word for a long time.

Because, under the illumination of the torches of the troops, in the wilderness about 500 meters away from the road, two piles of human heads were piled up, with two national flags of the Empire of Japan prominently planted on them.

"Baga, avant-garde squadron, come with me to investigate immediately..." Nakamura finally reacted and ordered loudly, leading the avant-garde squadron and more than a hundred soldiers towards the mound of human heads.

After walking down the road, less than 100 meters away, everyone was even more shocked. The ground was littered with the broken limbs of soldiers, and the entire land was stained red with blood. After being continuously trampled by horses' hooves, it became very muddy.

Coupled with the minced meat and internal organs of the soldiers who were trampled to pulp by the war horses... the entire battlefield was so brutal that the soldiers could hardly find a place to put their feet.

The soldiers walking on the battlefield had to carefully avoid the clearly visible stumps and broken arms. However, from time to time, a human head the size of a football rolled down in front of them. When they shined the torch on the land in front of them, a

The human head still dripping with blood suddenly appeared in his eyes.

"Ah..." Finally, a soldier could no longer bear the scene in front of him and squatted on the ground and vomited. However, when he saw the internal organs that had been trampled into flesh in front of him, he suddenly jumped up and ran to the back of the position.

Go. One...Two, more and more soldiers could not bear the scene before them, dropped their guns and fled to the road. In the end, only less than half of the squadron of soldiers were able to follow Nakamura to the two national flags.

Looking at the two national flags in front of him, Nakamura's face turned red. Because in addition to the two mounds made of the heads of Imperial Army soldiers, in front of the two military flags, there were a few words written with the heads of the fallen soldiers.

, "The consequences of invading China..."

"Ah... Baga..." Finally, the soldiers who followed could not bear the humiliation. They raised their rifles and rushed towards the head position in front of them. Even the squadron leader of the vanguard squadron joined the ranks. Nakamura looked at the angry

The soldier did not stop him in any way. Because he knew that the soldiers who saw this situation needed to vent, so let them vent well...

However, things did not go as Nakamura imagined. As dozens of soldiers rushed into the head position, after they kicked the heads on the ground, explosions suddenly sounded among them, before the chaotic troops could react.

Coming over, the entire head formation was plunged into a sea of ​​flames. You must know that the grenades planted here were collected by the cavalry regiment on the entire battlefield. Almost everyone had at least one booby trap underneath their head.

After the smoke cleared, a small team rushed into the massed formation. At this time, no one was standing, and only some faint wailing could be heard, reporting to Nakamura that they were not killed.

"Baga... you cunning Eighth Route Army, you damn Eighth Route Army, I will definitely cut you into pieces... Why are you standing still? Report the situation to the brigade commander immediately and ask for further instructions..." Nakamura roared.

Similarly, Major General Sakai, who received the report, was mentally prepared to kill Chief of Staff Yusei, but when he heard the tragic scene on the battlefield, his face was still full of shock and anger. However, when he saw that there was only one thing in his hand,

With less than 2,000 remaining soldiers, Sakai shook his head helplessly. What could be done with less than 200 soldiers?

Sakai reluctantly inserted the half-drawn command sword into the scabbard again.

"Inform Colonel Nakamura and order the troops to withdraw to Jinzhong County immediately. After dawn, I will request the air force to bomb the surrounding woods to avenge the chief of staff..." Sakai gritted his teeth and ordered.

"Hi..." The messenger quickly conveyed Sakai's order. After the blow just now, the morale of the entire army was even lower. They headed toward the county town listlessly. Sure enough, after dawn, 12 planes took off from Taiyuan, attacking

The woods surrounding the entire battlefield were subjected to fierce retaliatory bombing. However, at this time, Liu Hua had already led his troops into the deep mountains and joined the Second Regiment waiting here, bringing with him a large amount of supplies and nearly all supplies seized in Jinzhong.

5,000 civilians slowly advanced towards the base area.

A few days later, in the headquarters of the Japanese Army in North China, headed by General Terauchi, the chief of staff of the headquarters, who was the architect and direct commander of this encirclement and suppression campaign, sat upright in front of the table without saying a word.

Similarly, General Touichi Terauchi kept flipping through the statistics on the battle results that he had just compiled in his hand, without saying a word.

"Chief of Staff, you are the architect of this battle and the direct commander of the battle. Do you think our battle has achieved the expected results?" Terauchi Shouichi asked.

"Hi, Commander, I think this battle has achieved the results it deserves. First of all, the infrastructure of the entire Jinyi base area has been completely destroyed by us, including food and housing... I think the Eighth Route Army Independent Division without food,

No matter what, we cannot survive this cold winter. Secondly, according to reports from various units, during the encirclement and suppression operations that lasted for more than a month, we successively eliminated more than 8,000 combat troops of the Eighth Route Army. This was already the main force of the entire Jinyi Eighth Route Army.

More than half of our troops..."

"Baga...Chief of Staff, look at these casualty reports and material losses of our army that have just been calculated...Jinzhong lost a division's combat supplies for several months. The Sakai brigade had more than 6,000 people when it set off.

To 2,000 people, almost half of the security forces of each encirclement and suppression force have lost... This is also called victory... This is simply a shame for our Imperial Japanese Army..." Terauchi Shouichi slammed the table and interrupted the discussion.

Report to the Chief of Staff.

"Hey, Commander, what you have taught me is that I will assume the responsibility of the commander of this battle. Please rest assured, Commander." The chief of staff was shocked and wiped his sweaty forehead.
