I really came here to fight against Japan

Chapter 753: The Two Infantry Regiments That Won’t Return

Today, the Jindong Independent Division is thriving and its organizational structure is gradually becoming clear.

Zejiu also had a full understanding of some of the organization's procedures.

Fortunately, the political department of the base is now headed by Political Commissar Feng.

So until now, no one has been able to do anything with Zejiu's former identity.

But everyone knows that Political Commissar Feng has never been in good health.

What if the superiors want to replace their political commissar?

Will Zejiu continue to live such a "leisurely" life like he does now?

This is also one of the reasons why Zejiu has never wanted to show up and take up an important position in the independent division.

Now that Qin Haichuan has extended an olive branch, he naturally wants to go and give it a try.

Because Song Wenwan once told him that he had a plan in Gannan.

It is to help them change their identities and let them appear in the eyes of the world with a new look.

For example, Fang Ximen, who came from the Imperial Army, is now the column commander of the Second Guerrilla Division.

His name has long been changed to "Jiefangmen".

All his old files have been destroyed.

However, his new file was personally endorsed by the leaders of northern Shaanxi, so he was not afraid of anyone investigating.

Today's combat deployment has been decided, and all troops are heading towards Wei County in an orderly manner.

Now the two divisions of the Japanese army have entered the county seat of Weixian to rest.

At the beginning, they were able to receive news from the two attack squadrons.

When they learned that their vanguard had successfully caught up with the "Tubalu" (Tubalu) troops, they all felt relieved and prepared to have lunch.

The Japanese military commanders all entered the original city defense headquarters to rest.

The soldiers, under the organization of their superiors, entered the homes of ordinary people and looted their property.

However, there was an order from above to set fire, and it was not because the Japanese were so kind.

That's because they still have to stay in the city for half a day before setting off for Tang County.

If the city catches fire, where will the two division commanders go to rest? Will they sleep in the wilderness?

After noon, the two squadron commanders could not be contacted, and the communications chief began to panic.

He had sent out three waves of cavalry to look for her, but none of them came back.

It was not until almost two o'clock in the afternoon that a scout came back, his horse and he were covered in blood.

No one entered the city. After a gunshot, they fell down three hundred meters away from the city gate.

There was no need to scout anymore, as the Japanese soldiers standing guard on the city wall began to blow the whistle.

They could already see from afar a hundred or so Chinese cavalrymen chasing after them, and the red flag behind them was fluttering.

The two Japanese division commanders who were resting jumped up from the bed with a start.

They were awakened by the sound of gunfire outside, which did not seem like the sporadic gunfire from soldiers looting.

This was an organized shooting, and there were even heavy machine guns firing from the top of the city walls.

Sakai and Nishimura rushed out of the house, and they shouted loudly almost at the same time.

"Guards, where is the shooting?"

Hearing their division commander asking questions, a guard rushed in from the courtyard gate.

"Report to Division Commander Sakai, these are shots fired from the south gate."

Sakai shouted loudly: "Report to the division commander, the captain of our guard squadron has gone to ask."

"Bagaya road!"

Sakai raised his hand to hit the guard, but then he remembered that Commander Nishimura was standing next to him.

This big fight still didn't go on.

At this time, the sound of footsteps was heard at the door, and the communications chief and the guard squadron leader ran over at the same time.

The head of the communications department came over with a pale face and said, "Report to the division commander, we have been unable to contact the two infantry regiments that have moved forward.

Just now, as usual, we contacted Commander Okamura of the North China Front Army.

It turned out that all our longwave and shortwave radio stations were out of order.

We have been unable to contact Commander Okamura and the Imperial Army troops in the nearby county strongholds."

Nishimura: “Could it be that the battery got damp, or is there a strong magnetic field near the county town?”

Communications Section Chief: “Captain Nishimura, at 12 noon, the radio was still working.

At that time, we also exchanged messages with the Kwantung Army Headquarters.”

Division Commander Sakai: "Damn it, why didn't you report this important situation to me in time?"

"Snapped!"

"Hi!"

The communications chief, who was slapped in the face, did not dare to dodge and could only lower his head and wait to be slapped.

Sakai looked at the captain of the guard squadron and asked, "Did you find out? Why were there gunshots and heavy machine guns used?"

Squadron Leader: "Reporting to the division commander, we have found Tubalu cavalry at the south gate.

They killed the scouts we sent out for reconnaissance outside the South Gate.

Our guards on the city wall opened fire and dispersed the Tuba cavalry company outside the county town.

Nishimura: "A cavalry company from the Tubalu has arrived? Where is our scout? Have him come over immediately."

The squadron leader: "Report to Lord Nishimura, only one of our scouts has returned, and he was killed outside just now."

Sakai and Nishimura looked at each other, and they could see the fear in each other's eyes.

"Sakai-kun, it seems to me that this group of Eighth Route Army soldiers have come with ill intentions!

Let’s not talk about the combat effectiveness of our scouts, let’s just talk about our front.

There are nearly 8,000 elite imperial troops there. Do they dare to chase us all the way to the outside of the county town?"

Sakai shook his head: "They are not Tubalu, they should be the elite cavalry in the Chinese army.

As to which unit they are from, we still don't know.

And our 8,000 elite vanguard troops are probably in danger now.

Those Chinese cavalrymen are not just chasing our scouts.

This is a cavalry tactical arrangement. They are trying to block the battlefield!"

Nishimura asked, "Battlefield? Sakai-kun, what battlefield are you talking about?"

Sakai: "Of course we want to encircle and annihilate you, me, and the battlefields of these two divisions."

Shinmura: "Are you trying to annihilate our two Kwantung Army divisions? Are you kidding me, Sakai?"

Sakai: “Shinmura-kun, you have also fought in the Chinese battlefield for more than three years.

Have you ever seen a Chinese army that dared to attack two divisions of the Imperial Army with only a hundred cavalrymen? "

Seeing that Sakai was so sure about this matter, Nishimura believed Sakai 70% and his face turned even paler.

You have to know that they dared to challenge two Japanese divisions at the same time.

This Chinese army must have at least 200,000 people.

If the national army did not have so many people, how could it be possible to move so fast.

Their two infantry regiments were directly wiped out silently.

At this time, another staff officer came over and gave the two division commanders a satisfactory answer.

"Reporting to the two division commanders, our sentry called from the Wei County city wall.

They said they found a large number of Chinese troops outside Weixian County.”

Nishimura: "Did they appear from the direction of the South Gate? How many people came in total?"

Communications Staff: “Not only at the South Gate, but also at the East and West Gates of Wei County, a large number of Chinese troops appeared.

According to their reports, there were no less than 20,000 Chinese troops in each direction of Weixian.

In addition, they found a large number of artillerymen building artillery positions in the direction of the south gate of Wei County. "
