I really came here to fight against Japan

Chapter 451: The Japs Bombed Their Own Hospital

The soldiers of the Air Force Marine Brigade outside the city saw someone sneaking out of the city and slowly retreated back.

But he was not sure who they were, and was afraid that if he opened fire he might accidentally injure one of his own people.

Just as they were about to ask again, the searchlight on the city wall came on.

Two snow-white lights exposed the whereabouts of the Japanese and the detective team's spies in the open space.

The detective captain was so angry that he yelled, "Fatty, you bastard, you are too mean..."

The Marine Brigade soldiers hiding on the periphery suddenly discovered that the group of people were exposed in front of them.

Especially those bow-legged ones who keep saying "Bagayalu". What else don't they understand?

Their light and heavy machine guns opened fire directly, turning the Japanese traitors who were trying to escape into a pile of rotten meat.

It would be much easier to deal with the few remaining cats and dogs in the city.

There are the Imperial Army and puppet police from Yangquan County, these local tyrants leading the way.

They also quickly gained control over the key departments in the county.

In a short while, the garrison headquarters and the gendarmerie were controlled by the Marine Brigade.

The Japanese radio soldiers also helped them a lot.

Although he burned the code book and smashed the radio station before his death.

However, the news that Yangquan County was liberated by the Eighth Route Army was still sent out through his hands.

Nowadays, the rumors about the various units of the Eighth Route Army moving around without fighting are still very popular.

If you say now that the Eighth Route Army has liberated a county town, it will be considered bragging.

But if the Japanese themselves have already admitted this, people outside will still be able to believe it.

Especially this time when Fang Xilai attacked the county town from the east gate too quickly.

The Japanese telegraph soldiers had no time to send messages in encrypted form.

He could only use plain text to report the news to Yoshio Shinozuka's headquarters.

The only difficult thing is the Japanese hospital, there must be seriously injured Japanese soldiers in it.

The Marine Brigade is now wearing the uniforms of the Eighth Route Army.

We can't let them wear these clothes and do "spring cleaning" in the hospital.

Unexpectedly, the Japanese here in the hospital helped the Marine Brigade a lot.

The Japs took all the Japanese who could fight in the hospital, distributed weapons to them, and then took them to the top of the city wall to help defend the city.

Before leaving, the Japanese placed explosives in the hospital.

He ordered the hospital director that once Yangquan was captured, it would be time for them to pledge their loyalty to the emperor.

Before Fang Ximen's search troops entered the city and rushed into the hospital, the director detonated the explosives.

He followed the order and packed up the seriously injured, medical equipment, and medicines together.

Including the young female doctors and nurses in the hospital, all of them passed away.

Fang Ximen faced the raging fire, but he was secretly glad in his heart.

Fortunately, the Japanese solved the problem themselves, otherwise it would have been very troublesome for them to deal with.

In fact, the Japanese were doing this in vain. The Gansu Army had already used penicillin.

They really had no use for the medicines in the Japanese hospital, and most of them were sent to the black market in the Second War Zone.

However, the bombing of the hospital was also a big deal, and Li Dabenshi took full responsibility for it.

For this, he also accepted several public investigations by the Second War Zone.

After the Marine Brigade returned to Gannan, some officers including Fang Ximen went to Hengshan Base for further training.

In fact, they were taken away by Political Commissar Mo.

Because shooting the wounded and sick in enemy hospitals was not allowed in northern Shaanxi.

If this is true, once it becomes known internationally, it will cause immeasurable damage to the image of our party.

It is said that the investigation team headed by Minister Li examined them for half a month.

Fang Xilai and the cadres of their regiment finally succeeded.

The investigation team gave high praise to Fang Ximentuan for strictly observing our party's discipline.

Compared with the various "field" armies under Song Wenwan's command, Fang Ximen's troops were considered quite civilized.

Although Fang Ximen came from the Imperial Army, he always felt a little uneasy, fearing that he would be held accountable later.

Therefore, there is always some caution in his style of doing things.

This time, northern Shaanxi highly recognized him and awarded him a flag of the "Gannan Model Regiment".

What was unexpected was that Fang Ximen, who had opened up his heart, immediately led his troops to the level of the "First Field Army".

Now let me introduce the Gansu Army’s “First Field Army”, also known as the “Special Field Army”.

As the name suggests, "Te Ye" means particularly wild.

You should know that the Gansu Army finally produced four powerful men, and Fang Ximen was one of them.

Hao Dadan, the Tiger of Gannan, and his artillery unit are like the roar of a tiger and the roar of a dragon.

Zhou Weiguo, the Leopard of Gannan, and his armored forces are invincible.

Sun Desheng, the Eagle of Gannan, and his armed helicopter unit are the overlords of the air.

At the west gate of Fox House in Gannan, his infantry unit fought a battle like a god.

The reason why Fang Ximen’s military career achieved such great success.

This has a lot to do with the fact that he later went to the New Fourth Army in Jiangnan and studied there for a period of time. After all, a good teacher produces good students.

With the fall of Yangquan County and the railway station, Yoshio Shinozuka was a little dazed.

Faced with more and more distress telegrams, he actually felt like he had no idea where to start.

If only a few individual strongholds were attacked by the Eighth Route Army troops, the local garrisons could handle the situation themselves.

There are also strongholds like Yangquan Railway Station, where they can handle ordinary attacks on their own.

If it doesn't work, ask the nearby Yangquan County to send out an infantry battalion, and the battle can be over in half an hour.

The Japanese invaders from the 1940s still have elite veterans and are still confident enough to do so.

But today's situation seems completely different from the past.

The entire First Army stationed in Shanxi seemed to have encountered the greatest crisis.

The Japanese strongholds along the Zhengtai Railway were attacked almost at the same time.

There is no need to call for help for the two artillery towers which are one or two miles apart.

They could see the fire from the opposite stronghold clearly with their naked eyes.

Hundreds of kilometers of telephone lines were almost completely cut off by the Eighth Route Army.

The Japanese garrisons in various county towns did not dare to go out of the city to fight.

Although we can't contact the base below, it's dark now.

The besieged artillery towers were as dazzling as lit torches in the dark night.

There is no need to conduct close reconnaissance. As long as you have your eyesight clear, the Japanese soldiers standing on the city wall can clearly see it.

There were many artillery towers and strongholds outside that were burned down by the Eighth Route Army troops.

They did not dare to leave the city, but the strongholds behind the railway line were not attacked by the Eighth Route Army.

They sent out their own troops to rescue the Japanese who were attacked by the Eighth Route Army.

It’s a pity that they encountered an accident just after they left the stronghold.

Before they had walked half a mile, they stepped on a landmine laid by the Eighth Route Army.

A slightly larger Japanese stronghold was only stationed with a small team of Japanese troops and a company of puppet troops.

The stronghold was able to send out two Japanese squads and two platoons of puppet troops, which was already the limit of the Japanese in the stronghold.

It only took two Broadsword mines to bring the support soldier down.

The puppet soldiers who were not dead all lay on the ground and dared not move.

The remaining Japanese soldiers who were not killed in the explosion had no time to get up from the ground.

He was nailed to the ground by the bullets fired from the Type 38 rifles of the Eighth Route Army. The entire battle took no more than five minutes.
