Chapter 117: The Runaway Japanese Commander
"Number one! General Tong Linge, deputy commander of the 29th Army, and General Zhao Dengyu of the 132nd Division, died heroically for his country!"
"Number one! Our army killed Major General Suzuki Shigekai and seized the Japanese military flag. The 11th Brigade of the Japanese Independence and Mixed Independent Mixed Brigade has become history since then!"
"The Chinese army fought bloody battles in the Pingjin Defense War for more than half a month, and fought many desperate fierce battles with the Japanese aggressors. This battle annihilated more than 20,000 Japanese soldiers, and the number of casualties on our side reached more than 70,000!..."
"Although Beijing and Tianjin have been lost one after another, our army has severely damaged the Japanese army at the cost of great casualties, and severely attacked the Japanese army's arrogance!..."
"Dear listeners, this is Gaomi Radio Station..."
The telegram sent by Yang Fan quickly spread in Gaomi, Jinan and other places. The newspapers and newspapers that received the news began to print special issues crazily, vigorously introducing and promoting the glorious results of this battle to defend Pingjin!
Especially the Guangming Daily of Gaomi County, a large number of articles exposed the great achievements of the Independent Regiment and the heroic deeds of the martyrs. As for the specific number of casualties, it is still in the scope of confidentiality!
In addition, Gaomi also has its own radio station. After receiving the telegram sent by Yang Fan, he began to report on all kinds of things during the entire war of resistance against the enemy for hours!
Wu Qian has been waiting by the radio these days, and when the latest news came out, she shouted excitedly:
"Dad, good news, great news! Brother Fan and his team successfully broke through and are rushing home. They should get home tomorrow or the day after tomorrow, haha!"
As soon as Wu Qian finished speaking, Wu Rongbang responded with a smile: "I have heard it! Haha, I finally saw the light of the sky through the clouds and mist!"
His wife Gao Qinzhen followed into the room with a smile and nodded repeatedly, "Yes, yes, I really didn't expect that they could kill so many Japanese soldiers. It's really awesome! Let's hurry up and prepare more food and drinks, and we will celebrate when they come back!"
Wu Qian smiled with a pursed lips and said, "Dad, mom, I think the best celebration is to organize a wedding for Juanzi and Brother Fan! The Yang family's three generations of single pass on, Brother Fan must pass on the Yang family's incense!"
"Okay, I've never seen a stupid daughter like you!"
Wu Rongbang pretended to be a little angry and glared at Wu Qian, then smiled and nodded, "But then again, we Chinese have always been committed to being unfilial and having three no descendants as the greatest! Not only does the Yang family need to inherit the incense, but we are the Wu family the same, haha!"
Comrade Wu smiled very devilishly. The biggest difference between humans and animals is that humans have ideals and responsibilities. The ancestors of the Wu family were from scholarly families. Why didn’t Wu Rongbang want to inherit the incense and shine on his family?
"Baga, this is the greatest shame of the empire! It's okay if this idiot Suzuki Shigeyao dies, how can he lose the imperial military flag of His Majesty the Emperor?"
"Baga, in just two days, you ruined a total of 18,000 imperial warriors. Do you still have the face to sit here for a meeting to seek credit?"
Lieutenant General Xiangyue Qingshi, the commander of the Japanese Army in Tianjin, stood at the conference table, roared angrily, his eyes were red, and his expression was extremely ferocious, as if he was about to eat people!
Tianjin, Peking and other areas were captured, but the Japanese army not only paid the price of serious casualties, but also was extremely humiliated to seize the imperial military flag by the Chinese army. Xiangyue Qingshi suffered unprecedented accountability and pressure from the base camp!
In fact, what made Xiangyue Qingshi the most angry was that the 38th Division unexpectedly dispatched all the key areas in Tianjin, and almost broke through the Japanese headquarters!
If the Japanese Navy Air Force had not been fully bombed and rescued, Kiyoshi Katsuki would have either become a prisoner or was already a dead body!
Therefore, Xiangyue Qingsi was not happy at all. Before launching a general attack on the 29th Army, he once thought that this would only be a devastating battle of encirclement and annihilation, and he would not have thought that he would pay such a heavy price!
In the conference room, Major General Hashimoto, Chief of Staff of the Chinese Garage Army, Major General Kawabata Masao, Commander of the 20th Division, Lieutenant General Kawaki Fumisamura, Major General Yamashita Tomoto of the 40th Brigade, Major General Takagi Yoshinori of the 39th Brigade, Major General Sakai Hoji Sakai, 1st Brigade and others were sitting in a daze, showing shame, all of them lowered their heads silently, and did not dare to argue at this time.
Although this battle was finally won, they all felt extremely frustrated and paid the price of casualties that they could not say!
"Your Excellency Commander, please calm down!"
After Kazuki Kiyoshi vented his emotions, the Japanese Chief of Staff Hashimoto Qun whispered: "Although the heavy casualties this time paid a considerable price, our overall combat intention was successfully achieved!
After a summary and analysis of multiple aspects of intelligence, the main factor that our fight this time was so difficult should be the Shandong Independent Group!
This Shandong Independent Regiment is extremely well-equipped, not only has a large number of automatic weapons such as submachine guns, assault rifles, but also has anti-aircraft machine guns, anti-aircraft guns, and heavy machine guns!
At the same time, I don’t know where the 29th Army purchased a batch of automatic weapons and heavy firepower before our army launched the general attack, which greatly reduced our army’s advantages in weapons!"
"Baga! What's going on with this Shandong Independent Group? Didn't you order the intelligence department to conduct full investigations in the past?"
Although Xiangyue Qingsi was still very unhappy, he knew that anger alone could not solve any problem.
Hashimoto Qun quickly replied: "Hiss Commander, we may encounter a real opponent! The intelligence work is progressing slowly. We have broken more than ten excellent agents. The base camp is currently convening ace agents!
In addition, we have seized a lot of advanced automatic weapons from the Chinese army and have been sent back to China for research a few days ago! I believe that within half a year, we will be able to completely use it for ourselves..."
"Soga!"
After listening to Hashimoto's explanation, Kazuki Kiyoshi's expression was slightly slower, and then he ordered with murderous intent:
"The empire's shame must be washed away with blood. I order my efforts to clear away the remaining enemies of China in the Pingjin area and along the Jinpu route, and to clear obstacles for the next step of the Great Japanese Empire's military operations!"
"Hayi!"
The generals and other generals stood up one after another, nodded and bowed respectfully!
"Haha, we're finally home!"
Due to the fact that there are many serious injuries in the convoy this time, and the return route is quite tortuous, the Independent Team team traveled more than 30 hours before arriving in Jinan, Shandong at around 10 a.m. on July 30!
Originally, Yang Fan planned to go back to Gaomi County directly. After being away from home for more than half a month, Yang was really homeless. He missed the warm little home in Gaomi County in his heart!
However, boss Han called many times to ask Yang Fan to go to Jinan before returning to Gaomi County, and his words were very sincere and serious!
After thinking about it, Yang Fan finally decided to go to Jinan to cooperate with the publicity to make a sense of presence. At worst, it would be a day or two more to waste!
Of course, the bodies of those fallen soldiers must be sent back to Gaomi County first!
Chapter completed!
