Chapter 760: The Japanese and puppet troops reaped the consequences

The Japanese and puppet troops reaped the consequences

On the road less than ten kilometers away from Huai'an City, the Japanese and puppet troops, arranged in four columns, were counterattacking towards Huai'an City in a mighty and murderous manner, preparing to take back the territory just occupied by the East China Field Army in one fell swoop.

Huai'an City.

Major General Himeno, as the supreme commander of this reinforcement force, is not full of murderous intent as shown by this force at this moment. Instead, he is riding on his own horse with a solemn expression, constantly urging those around him.

The troops speed up their march...

"Report to the Commander of the Brigade, the Commander-in-Chief of the Central China Front..." At this moment, a cavalry correspondent, riding a horse, quickly stopped beside Major General Ji Ye and reported breathlessly.

"Hurry..." After his horse came to a complete stop, Major General Jiye waved the whip in his hand and gave a loud order to the communications staff officer in front of him.

"read…"

"Hayi..."

"Your Majesty the Commander telegraphed: Huai'an City is located in the center of northern Jiangsu and has very important strategic value. Therefore, no matter what, Huai'an City must not be lost. We now order your troops and the reinforcements from Lianyungang to arrive in the shortest possible time.

, recapture the Huai'an City that has just changed hands from the East China Field Army, otherwise, officers above the rank of colonel will engage in military law... In addition, if you cannot capture Huai'an City in a short time, your troops must surround it and wait for the arrival of reinforcements from the direction of Nanjing.

..." The cavalry correspondent quickly took out a telegram and read with a serious face.

"Your Excellency, brigade commander, judging from the telegram, the commander-in-chief gave us a fatal order..." After listening to the contents of the telegram, the brigade commander, Major General Jiye, frowned and seemed to be thinking about something.

At that time, the brigade chief of staff beside him, Colonel Inoshita, first frowned and then spoke.

"Jingxia Jun, this is for sure. Huai'an City was lost in our hands. No matter what reasons we come up with, this fact will never change. If we can take back Huai'an City with the strength we have, then the two of us will

, there may be hope of continuing to lead troops and avoid being tried by a military court. However, if we cannot retake Huai'an with our own strength, wait until the arrival of reinforcements from the direction of Nanjing. If nothing goes wrong, by then, what will follow

, there must be a gendarmerie unit. The gendarmerie unit that escorted us back to the country and were tried by a military court..." After shaking his head helplessly, the brigade commander, Major General Ji Ye, said with a helpless look.

"Commander, please immediately send a telegram to the commander in my name. I, Hime, will fight to the death to recapture Huai'an City and live up to the trust of the commander. If I cannot complete the task assigned to me by the commander, I will personally apologize to His Majesty the Emperor...

"After a brief reflection, Major General Ji Ye gave a very decisive order to the cavalry correspondent in front of him who was waiting for his reply.

"Ha Yi, your Excellency the brigade commander..."

"Captain of the brigade, what should we do next..." Colonel Inoshita asked.

"There is only one way, and that is to retake Huai'an City to the death... Order the troops to speed up their march. Complete the siege of Huai'an City within two hours. In addition, notify the follow-up supply troops and artillery troops to speed up and catch up with the main force immediately. This

This time, whether we can successfully retake Huai'an City from the Chinese depends on the artillery..." Major General Ji Ye ordered.

"Ha Yi, I will go and give the order right away..."

Outside the north gate of Huai'an City, after an hour of offensive and defensive battles, the entire north gate was completely shrouded in gunpowder smoke. Directly in front of the large defensive position, hundreds of Japanese and puppet corpses lay scattered in various postures.

In front of the position, the entire battlefield was shrouded in a desolate atmosphere.

Of course, in front of this defensive position that stretches for nearly a kilometer, the position that killed the most Japanese and puppet soldiers and achieved the greatest results was the bunker where platoon leader Yan Yufa was located. In front of the huge bunker, nearly a hundred corpses of Japanese and puppet soldiers were scattered into various shapes.

Various postures were placed scatteredly in the open space between 50 and 150 meters in front of the bunker...

"Platoon leader, we have repelled the enemy's third charge..." Looking at the hundreds of Japanese and puppet troops retreating in embarrassment outside the bunker. Inside the bunker, Yan Yufa had just been directly promoted to the squad leader of the first squad due to his military exploits.

Captured soldier Li Yuqing, after handing the red machine gun to his deputy for cooling and maintenance, he said excitedly to the platoon leader behind him.

"Squad Leader Li, you did a good job...Brothers, you all fought well...In less than an hour, our platoon killed nearly a hundred Japanese and puppet soldiers with only one sacrifice and two minor injuries..."

I believe that as long as everyone can continue to work hard and continue fighting like we just did, I can guarantee that the final victory will definitely belong to us."

"At the same time, I also assure you that with these military exploits, as long as you can exit the battlefield alive and receive awards for your meritorious service in the army, you will be able to at least be promoted to squad leader or even deputy platoon leader with these military exploits in your hands... Of course, even if

We will not forget those brothers who died in battle. We will treat them like fallen martyrs, find their families, and give full pensions to their families. Comrade, in accordance with our party's policy,

Let the local government support them and take care of them, so that the brothers who sacrificed their lives will not have any worries..."

Seeing that everyone was looking at him expectantly, Platoon Leader Yan Yufa took advantage of this favorable opportunity and loudly encouraged him: "Brothers, you don't have any worries anymore. If possible, you all still have a chance to be promoted.

What are you still worried about? Cheer up and beat the Japanese hard, for yourself and your family..."

"Platoon leader, don't worry. Now that this idiot Li Yuqing has become the squad leader, I will definitely kill more little devils, make more military exploits, and strive to become the squad leader. I will never fall behind Li Yuqing..."

"Yes, platoon leader, we will definitely kill more little devils, make great contributions, and become squad leader..." In the face of the iron facts, and with Li Yuqing, who has been promoted to squad leader, as a role model, the remaining more than 20 prisoners,

They all stared with red eyes and promised firmly.

"Okay, as long as everyone has this spirit, I guarantee that everyone can be the squad leader..." Seeing everyone's fighting spirit, after more than an hour of fighting, and with his own encouragement, he was finally fully inspired. Yan Yufa arranged

His long face was slowly covered with a smile. He didn't hesitate at all in response to everyone's rhetorical questions and answered with certainty.

"Platoon leader, the little Japs are here again, and the enemy has begun to attack again..." Just as Yan Yufa finished speaking, the exclamations from the guard posts followed and reached everyone's ears.

"Brothers, the opportunity for everyone to make meritorious deeds has come. Now I order everyone to enter the combat position, prepare for battle, win over everyone, and eliminate at least two enemies..." With a hint of murderous intent, Yan Yufa ordered very decisively.

"Yes, Platoon Commander..."

Major General Himeno, as the supreme commander of this unit, has been standing with a wide field of vision less than one kilometer away from the battlefield since the siege began, holding up the telescope in his hand and watching every move on the battlefield solemnly.

A movement….

At this moment, as a new attack by the troops began, Major General Ji Ye, who was full of confidence in this attack, also stood there with expectation, watching every move of the attacking troops...

"Captain of the brigade, the bunker held by the Chinese in front of me is really too strong. But in addition to field artillery, we don't have any large-caliber siege artillery exceeding 100 millimeters at all. There is almost no attack on these bunkers.

Function. The only way is to escort the engineers and use explosives to blow up the bunker in front of them. However, the Chinese firepower is too dense, and the engineering troops cannot get close to this hedgehog-like bunker. After just one hour of attack,

More than a hundred soldiers fell right in front of the bunker." Seeing an attacking group of more than 500 soldiers composed of the Imperial Army and the Imperial Association Army, they were once again blocked by intensive firepower.

One hundred meters ahead, Chief of Staff Colonel Inoshita immediately showed a look of embarrassment on his face, and then he spoke.

"Chief of Staff, I saw Imperial Army soldiers falling down in front of us. As a brigade commander, I regret very much why I built so many strong fortifications and bunkers outside Huai'an City. Now.

, I finally understood an old Chinese saying, that is, you will reap the consequences..." After letting out a long sigh, Major General Jiye said.

"Your Excellency, Brigade Commander, building these bunkers is an order from above and has nothing to do with you. I believe that our urgent delay now is to deal with the Chinese bunkers in front of us. Otherwise, our troops will not be able to rush into the city at all.

Inside..." Chief of Staff Colonel Inoshita comforted him.

Just as Colonel Ishita finished speaking, something unexpected happened in the battle situation in front of him. Faced with dense machine gun firepower like hedgehogs fired by several light and heavy machine guns in the bunker, hundreds of Japanese and puppet troops once again suffered nearly a loss.

After a hundred troops, they had to stop and slow down their attack. More importantly, the hundreds of Imperial Army troops who were charging at the front of the queue and used as cannon fodder showed signs of collapse.

Seeing this, Chief of Staff Colonel Inoshita couldn't help but exclaimed.

"Your Excellency, Brigade Commander, something has happened... The firepower of the Chinese is so fierce that our engineering troops cannot rush to the front of the bunker... The Imperial Alliance Army troops are already showing signs of collapse..."

"Nani, collapse... Pass my military order. Without my order, no one is allowed to take a step back. Otherwise, they will be killed without mercy." At this moment, the face of the brigade commander, Major General Ji Ye, also showed a trace of murderous intent.

, ordered decisively.

"Ha Yi, I will go and deliver the order right away..." Chief of Staff Colonel Matsushita replied.
