A Scout in the War of Resistance

After the battle at the city gate started, Nokanichiro knew it at that time.The captain of the Japanese Army in the city, since he sent his troops to the city gate, of course he has to report to his Excellency the General.

I heard that some squadrons have already attacked Xinyang. If you say that No Kanichiro is not afraid, that is definitely not true.The devils are like this, the lower the status of the soldiers, the more they pay attention to the spirit of bushido, and the more fearless they are.Devils who really have status and status still care about their own lives, and they are very tactful when dealing with things.

As soon as he learned of the battle in Xinyang City, General Ye Kan ordered the major commander in the city to transfer all his troops to the courtyard of the headquarters.His headquarters has very high and thick walls, and the defense capability of the compound is much stronger than the crude barracks of the Japanese army.Even if he really loses in the end, he still has this four-story office building here, which he can defend to the death, and fight for a period of time for the arrival of reinforcements.

As for the reinforcements, General Ye Kan must have called everywhere.In addition to Yingshan, Luoshan, Huangchuan, Tongbai, Suixian, Xuanhua, in short, as long as it is around Xinyang, and there are places where the Japanese army is stationed, Major General Ye Kan has all sent urgent telegrams for help. The Japanese army in these places must rush to Xinyang City as quickly as possible to rescue General Ye Kan.

These are still scattered troops, and are truly under the direct control of His Excellency the General. Colonel Ito Nobuyoshi, who is located in Liulin, was given an ultimatum by His Excellency the General.If that General Ito has not arrived at Xinyang City before the squadron defeated his defending army, Your Excellency the General will revoke the post of Colonel Ito and report to the headquarters so that Nobuyoshi Ito will accept the emperor's law. trial!

Of course, the mixed brigade in Kaifeng was also sent a urging telegram by General Ye Kan.Although they were a little far away, they were a whole brigade. If they could come here in time, of course they would be able to solve General Ye Kan's catastrophe.Although Kaifeng is a bit far from Xinyang, there is a railway between the two places.The brigade from Kaifeng can take the train to Zhengzhou, and then go all the way south along the Beijing-Hanzhou Railway. In a day or two, they will be able to reach Xinyang.

After Ito Dazuo received the ultimatum from General Nokan, he no longer dared to retreat to Liulin Town to be a coward. This is not only a matter related to his official career. Can't keep it!

Regarding Gao Quan's quiet withdrawal of the soldiers, Ito Dazuo has a lot of opinions. If you say you withdraw, you will withdraw. It's okay, why are you attacking Xinyang?Isn't this just an embarrassment to His Excellency!

Dazuo Ito gathered his troops impatiently, rushed out of the town, and wanted to rush to Xinyang City.Of course, the du li brigade outside the city could not let them leave easily. The two sides set up a battle outside Liulin Town.Before Gao Quan left, although he left the artillery battalion and engineer battalion for Zhang Ernuo, couldn't the artillery keep firing at Liulin Town?How many shells does that cost?Where can they afford it?Occasionally, just hit it and disturb it, so that the devils can't live so comfortably.

The engineer battalion dug a lot of trenches and traps outside the town, but digging traps now is different from that at Wusheng Pass.At that time, it was just a road, as long as a hole was dug on the road.now what?Liulin Town is so close to Xinyang, the devils can go in any direction, turn any corner, and they can go to Xinyang. Can't the engineer battalion dig a moat around Liulin Town?Even if they want to dig, they don't have that much manpower, do they?

As a result, Ito Osamu and his troops left the town smoothly, and fought with the du li brigade in the wild outside the town.

Dazuo Ito is actually quite capable. Last time he lost the battle, the main reason was that the strengths of the two sides were too different. In addition, Gao Quan planned a lot of killing moves in advance, and the moves came true. Said it was Nobuyoshi Ito, even if it was Neiji Okamura, it would still be the same.

The current situation is different. The du li brigade has 4000 people, and Osamu Ito has nearly [-] people on hand. The comparison of the strength of the two sides is almost one to one. The Japanese army's training level, weapons and equipment, individual soldiers' quality, and weapons and equipment are generally one or two grades higher than our army. Under such circumstances, how can Zhang Ernuo win this battle?This battle, before it was fought, was already doomed to lose.

However, the soldiers of the du li brigade, in the face of the little devils who had the overall advantage, still carried out a heroic resistance.The artillery battalion fired all the shells, and the soldiers of the Du Li brigade also inflicted a lot of damage on the devils. Of course, the troops themselves also suffered heavy casualties.

After three hours of fighting, Zhang Ernuo sent a telegram to Gao Quan, explaining the current situation of the two armies fighting.After the battle happened, he sent a report to Gao Quan, and if he said it now, it meant to complain a little bit.But he can't help it, the troops have already lost almost one-third, as the commander of the troops, if he doesn't report to the superiors, that is also dereliction of duty!

When Gao Quan read Zhang Ernuo's telegram, he understood what was going on.Fighting devils is of course a good thing, but filling in all the troops on hand is not his original intention.Desperate to resist the Japanese, of course he thought too, but the facts were in front of him, and Gaoquan couldn't help but put preserving his strength as the first step every time. His troops were wiped out, but no one replenished him!Even if it is recruitment, it is not so easy to recruit.

Gao Quan's call back to Zhang Ernuo was: Get out of the way, let the enemy come over, harass from behind, try to make the enemy slow down.Finally, add another sentence: Preserving strength is the main thing.

Zhang Ernuo had fought with Gao Quan for many years, and when he saw this telegram, he immediately knew what was going on.Brigadier Zhang breathed a sigh of relief, and immediately ordered his troops to get out of the way and let the devils pass.

The du li brigade was ordered to intercept the devils here, this order is known to all the officers and soldiers of the brigade, and everyone has been fighting here for such a long time, and the brothers have sacrificed so much, now they clearly know that they are in Xinyang City Fight the devils to the death, and I have to let these devils go there!Not only did Zhang Ernuo feel ashamed, but even the officers and soldiers under him had a lot of things they couldn't figure out.No, Zhang Ernuo's two main regiment leaders, Huang Sanpao and Chang Zhankui, two old brothers, joined hands to find their seats.

"Traveler, it's not righteous for us to withdraw just like that! Shizuo and the others are fighting in Xinyang at a critical moment, if we let these devils go, aren't we stealing the way of Shizuo?" Huang Sanpao This king of the mountain has unprecedented enthusiasm for resisting Japan, and he has a big opinion on the withdrawal of troops.

"That's right, the traveler. It's said in the teacher's telegram that we are afraid that our men will lose face, but we have to fight for this face ourselves? Traveler, take the big guy and fight again?" Chang Zhankui followed Tight help.
