I really came here to fight against Japan

Chapter 438: Contacting General Shinozuka Yoshio via Clear Code Telegraph

"Bagayalu, call Yangquan County immediately and have them rush to reinforce us."

"Sir, the call is not going through. The telephone line must have been cut by the Eighth Route Army."

"Then send a telegram to the garrison in Yangquan County immediately, asking for help."

"Report to the captain, we have already sent the telegram, but, but..."

"Just what?"

"It's just that the defenders in Yangquan County said that the county town has also been attacked by the Eighth Route Army.

They requested that the garrison commander who came to the train station be allowed to return to the city quickly to command the battle.

And let us send troops back to strengthen the county's defense."

The Japanese squadron leader was in tears, as he had just seen it with his own eyes.

The brains of the Yangquan garrison commander were still wet on the platform, so how could he be allowed to go back to command?

"Baga, immediately send a telegram to Taiyuan for the First Army and to General Shinozuka Yoshio.

Bastard, didn't you hear me? Why didn't you send the message? "

The Japanese radio operator felt a chill on the back of his neck when he looked at the command knife in the squadron leader's hand.

"Captain, we are not at a high enough level and do not have the high-level password to contact the First Army Headquarters."

"Use plain text. Send a telegram in plain text. Make sure to contact General Shinozuka Yoshio in Taiyuan."

The squadron leader was anxious because a new batch of munitions had arrived at their train station and were being temporarily stored there.

Those arms were to be transported to and used on the battlefields in southern China, but they had not yet been shipped away in time.

At that time, it was this Japanese squadron leader who was personally responsible for receiving it.

Those were not ordinary munitions, they were a full thousand "special bombs", or poison gas bombs.

If these "special bullets" were exposed, the Japanese army's international reputation would be irreparable.

Yoshio Shinozuka already had these shells, but the war went well at the beginning so he had a larger stock.

As for his current situation, only he himself knows whether it is good or bad.

All the larger cities in Shanxi are under his control.

On the surface, most of the rural areas are also under his jurisdiction.

Of course, it was like this in the beginning.

But I don’t know when the situation in rural Shanxi changed.

Even the garrison troops below responded to him.

Those who work in the maintenance association are still members of the Imperial Army on the surface.

But secretly, they have some connections with the anti-Japanese armed forces.

If you arrest them, they will say that they contacted the Eighth Route Army in order to gather information for the Imperial Army.

If you ask them for intelligence on the Eighth Route Army, they can get it for you.

But if you really believe it, then the unlucky ones will definitely be the Japanese.

It was like one time when someone from the maintenance association came over to report to the Japanese in the stronghold.

It is said that there is a guerrilla force in Fengu County that is very unfriendly to the Imperial Army and the Imperial Affiliated Army.

Under the leadership of their captain Chen Taohua, they have captured the houses of several landlords and traitors.

They stayed in Xiaowangzhuang for two days, resting and doing anti-Japanese propaganda.

The Japanese heard that this guerrilla team had only about forty people and the leader was a woman.

An infantry squad was immediately dispatched, with the cooperation of an Imperial Army squad, to sweep Xiaowangzhuang.

As soon as they came into contact, the Japanese squad leader discovered that this anti-Japanese guerrilla force was exactly the same as what the maintenance chairman had described.

There were less than fifty people, and just over half of them had guns.

The rest of the people were holding broadswords, red tassel spears and other weapons in their hands.

What they didn't expect was that the guerrillas reacted very quickly and opened fire as soon as they saw them.

A volley of gunfire killed one Japanese soldier and two Imperial Army soldiers.

Then they didn't dare to escape back to Xiaowangzhuang, they turned around and ran towards the mountain.

As soon as the Japanese squad leader heard the gunshots, he knew the strength of the guerrillas.

In their hands were some outdated, old sleeves and Hanyang-made ones.

Of course, like other guerrillas, there are also several gunpowder guns for hunting.

What was there to hesitate about? The Japanese immediately took their men and chased after them.

He originally thought that these guerrillas were just about forty or so civilians holding guns.

I brought more than a hundred soldiers with me, so there is nothing I can't deal with.

Then they shouted and chased the guerrillas closely.

Then there is no more.

Among these one hundred or so devils and the Imperial Army, only a Japanese sergeant ran back.

The sergeant who returned to the base had sustained a serious wound in the lower abdomen.

He fled to the foot of the mountain and was carried back to the base by the chairman of the maintenance association.

Unfortunately, his injuries were too severe and he only lasted half an hour before he passed away in a hurry.

According to the sergeant, the military quality of these guerrillas is indeed not very good.

But the unknown mines in their hands were too powerful.

Four mines exploded simultaneously in a fan shape, almost turning them into sieves.

Without waiting for them to resist, the guerrillas rushed over and stabbed them.

Among them there was a woman who was the most powerful among them.

The Japanese sergeant saw with his own eyes that the woman only kicked once.

Their team leader flew out spitting blood.

Of course, this is not just an isolated case.

The more remote countryside in Shanxi has become a restricted area for the Japanese army.

If it wasn't a large-scale sweep, they wouldn't send troops to sweep such a place.

Therefore, although Yoshio Shinozuka knew that there were still a large number of anti-Japanese forces in the occupied areas, he did not dare to use "special bullets".

The year before last, the 39th Division of the Kwantung Army was completely wiped out.

The large amount of "special bullets" they brought were seized by the Chinese side before they could be destroyed.

Therefore, Yoshio Shinozuka did not dare to use it rashly in his own defense area.

This time, taking advantage of the southern war zone's loan, he simply gave away all the hot potatoes.

I didn't expect that these shells placed in Yangquan would still be in danger of being exposed.

At this time, the Japanese squadron leader had already been frightened by the attack of the Eighth Route Army.

He actually asked the telegraph operator to use plain text to ask Yoshio Shinozuka how to deal with those special bombs.

The squadron leader knew that if the "special bullet" fell into the hands of the Eighth Route Army, he would definitely not survive.

If he detonated these special bombs, no one within a few hundred meters of the station would survive.

Anyway, he didn't have the courage to order the destruction of these shells.

If he really had such courage, he would not have been assigned to work as a "security guard" at the train station.

The situation at the Japanese First Army Headquarters in Taiyuan City is now in chaos.

It seemed as if the situation in Shanxi had changed completely overnight.

Now, almost all the strongholds and train stations along Zhengtai Road have been attacked by unknown armed forces.

There are two reasons why they are called unidentified armed forces.

One is that these troops fired a large number of artillery shells during the attack.

This is not the strength that the Eighth Route Army should have.

But if you say they are the national army, it doesn’t seem like it.

His old classmate at Kenanpo did not have the courage to give such an order.

It was not until the next day when Yoshio Shinozuka saw the information provided by the insider that he learned the truth.

Since last night, all attacks on the Japanese strongholds were carried out by the Eighth Route Army.

Because a military meeting was held in Kenanpo, all the division commanders, including the Gansu Guerrilla Division, attended.
