Looking at the hundreds of soldiers in front of him who were covered in blood and embarrassed, Major General Noboru Kunizaki's lungs were about to be blown up, and the frightened look on the faces of these guys did not subside, how could there be a little bit of the momentum of the Imperial Japanese Army. Major General Noboru Kunisaki really wanted to directly let the chariot press against the group of soldiers in front of him, and let these guys who had lost face to the Japanese Empire go directly to Amaterasu. But he knew he couldn't, at least not now.

Although these guys can't be sent to hell, but Kunizaki Noboru will not give this group of remnants a good face to the defeated, Major General Kunisaki Noboru said angrily with a gloomy face: "Yaga, you bunch of rice buckets, big bastards, what's the matter with you, who attacked you?" ”

The military Cao, who was named by Major General Noboru Kunisaki, said with a pale face: "Report to your Excellency the brigade commander, we were attacked by the Chinese army as soon as we entered the village, and we didn't see which Chinese army they were, but their firepower was very strong, in addition to being equipped with light machine guns, they were also equipped with a large number of submachine guns, and our squadron suffered more than 80 casualties in two minutes, but the death toll was only 12, but our squadron leader was killed by the Chinese people."

"Yaga, you are all working on the ground and buckets, are the troops of China so strong in combat, and in two minutes you can beat a complete infantry squadron of our Great Japanese Empire like this, you guys tell me how many units there are in the town, and where is our cavalry squad going? Do you speak up quickly? Major General Noboru Kunisaki was obviously very dissatisfied with this military Cao's answer, after all, he didn't even recognize the beating clearly, so it's no wonder that Major General Noboru Kunisaki was angry.

Cao Zhan said tremblingly: "Report to Your Excellency the Brigade Commander, I didn't see clearly how many troops there were, and we retreated in less than two minutes after the exchange of fire, and we lost a lot of troops, and even the squadron leader was broken, so there was no pursuit." However, we did see the cavalry squad that entered this town first, and all of them were already shattered, and even their equipment, clothes, and war horses were stolen by the China, and the reason why our squadron was successfully attacked by the Chinas was entirely because there were more than thirty Chinagunists pretending to be our army, yin* We entered the ambush position arranged by the China, so "

"So what kind of fart, what are you going to work in pursuit, if it weren't for the time when the big army came up, you would have all gone to work in Amaterasu, stupidly worked, get down, all of you were put into the reserve to work"

After scolding the military Cao, Major General Kunizaki Noboru was still angry and ordered loudly: "Baga, the whole army has stormed into the town, and all the people of China are dead, and there are no chickens and dogs left."

"Hail"

Major General Kunisaki Noboru was indeed annoyed by the sneak attack of the Eighth Route Army, and ordered the troops to see that the city was slaughtered naked. However, it is a pity that the Chinese army seems to know that Major General Kunisaki Noboru jumped over the wall in such a hurry, and even moved all the residents of Wangjialou to a safe place, except for some old people who could not walk, there was not a single young man, let alone a grain of grain and a livestock.

Soon the troops who went to collect grain came back and told Major General Kunizaki that apart from the capture of more than 40 old men and women over 70 years old, there was no one in the entire Wangjialou, and there was not a single grain of decent grain in the whole town, and even the rations of those old men and old ladies were some flour made of coarse grains mixed with plant straw, that is, the famous "Xinghe noodles", and the whole town except for a well that could be drunk, the rest had been sealed.

"Bagaya Road, the people of China are very cunning, they put those old men and old ladies to death, hang their bodies outside the town, order the troops to bury the pot and cook immediately, and immediately rush to Xuanhua after a night's rest, and work in a decisive battle with the Chinese troops"...,

"Hail"

There was nothing to do all night, because the Japanese army had previous experience, so it did a good job of defending the troops at night when they were resting, and the light and dark forts and a large number of patrol personnel made the guerrillas of the Eighth Route Army lurking outside Wangjialou Town have no chance to attack, so it was rare for the Japanese army to be able to sleep peacefully.

After a night's rest, the Japanese army more or less regained a little strength, so the next day almost all the Japanese soldiers looked refreshed, and although the fatigue of yesterday could still be seen on the faces of most of the soldiers, this state still made Major General Kunisaki Noboru feel very satisfied.

After a hurried breakfast, Major General Noboru Kunisaki ordered the troops to move out. Watching the troops stride out of Wangjialou Town one by one, Major General Kunizaki Deng's mood changed again, although the hard march the day before made him realize that this battle must be very difficult, but after all, he had just been transferred to the Sixth Brigade, so he had not directly fought with Han Yunhua, so it was inevitable that he did not know Han Yunhua's department well enough. Moreover, the Kunisaki detachment led by Major General Kunisaki was invincible, and it was the first batch of troops to occupy Nanjing, of course, Major General Kunisaki made a lot of money because of this, except for his Kunisaki detachment in the Battle of Taierzhuang was heavily damaged by the Chinese army once, no unit he led had suffered a heavy defeat, so he lost his previous humility and prudence.

After coming out of the royal house, Kunisaki Noboru gave an order to the troops behind the palace, that is, after all the troops left, they must set a fire in the town. Sitting in the chariot with excellent protection, Kunisaki Noboru subconsciously stretched out his head and looked back, and the town where they were stationed yesterday was all shrouded in smoke, and there was fire everywhere, and it looked spectacular in broad daylight. And dozens of mangled corpses hung from several centuries-old trees outside the town

The county seat of Xinghe County. Former enemy command

In the past few days, the news has been getting worse and worse, and the Japanese army's multi-road army is pressing on the Inner Mongolia Military Region at the same time, because of the previous strategic concept, so the Inner Mongolia Military Region can be said to have "retreated" all the way, and the Japanese army's second attack group forward has independently mixed into the sixth brigade and regiment has occupied Wujiagou and Shenjing, and the front is directed at the fancy battalion.

This is not the most serious, what is serious is that along the way, the Japanese army has done its best to destroy villages, kill residents, and plunder property, which has seriously broken through the bottom line of the army. Although the Inner Mongolia Military Region also considered that the disastrous defeat of the Japanese army some time ago might cause retaliation by some troops, all units received an urgent order from Han Yunhua to evacuate the residents in the defense area to a safe place before retreating, on the one hand, to ensure the safety of the people's lives, and on the other hand, of course, to clear the wilderness.

At present, both Han Yunhua of the Inner Mongolia Military Region and the commanders of several other military regions have a relatively sober understanding of the actual combat strength of the Japanese army, and the overall combat effectiveness of the Japanese army is quite good, although it has decreased compared with the beginning of the invasion of China in 1937, but the overall combat strength is still much stronger than that of ordinary Chinese troops. However, the Japanese army also has a weakness, that is, most of the Japanese army's supplies now have to be collected on the spot, and once they cannot collect taxes and grab food, they will not be able to support the Japanese army's stockpiles for even three months.

In view of this situation of the Japanese army, both the Kuomintang government and the authorities of the Eighth Route Army coincidentally adopted the tactic of clearing the wilderness with strong walls, fighting against the Japanese army in terms of material supply, and creating trouble for the Japanese army. Although in terms of the strength and difficulty of execution, the Kuomintang troops obviously could not be compared with the Eighth Route Army, so the effect on that side was also worse, but the losses caused to the Japanese army were also not small. …,

But now it seems that the Japanese army is not willing to be led by the nose like this, so they simply carry out large-scale destruction with a ruthless heart. Since we can't get it, then I'm going to destroy it so that no one can get it. Therefore, along the way, the Japanese army was like locusts crossing the border, entering villages and towns when they saw them, killing people when they saw them when they entered the villages, robbing valuable things when they saw them, and then destroying the corpses with a fire. In just three days, more than 50 villages were destroyed in the entire central Hebei region, and more than 800 people who were unwilling to move with the troops were brutally slaughtered.

For a time, the entire central Hebei region was shaken, and the intelligence department of the Inner Mongolia Military Region went into full swing, and the situation in various regions quickly flooded up on the desks of several leaders of the Inner Mongolia Military Region. Although the Inner Mongolia Military Region has done a very meticulous job, in just a few days, more than 140 villages have been destroyed by the Japanese army in the entire Hebei region, and more than 1,300 people have been killed.

Since the beginning of the Japanese invasion of China, there has been a history of slaughtering innocent people, and the blood of more than 20,000 soldiers and civilians in Port Arthur during the First Sino-Japanese War has fixed the Japanese beast on the pillar of shame in history. However, the craziest time of this wanton massacre of innocent people was after the full-scale invasion of China by the Japanese army, especially after Tada Jun took office in 1940, and since Tada Jun took office, he began to implement the notorious "three-light policy" and "cage policy". The purpose of these two policies was to use no man's land and traffic blockade to trap the Communist Eighth Route Army in the mountainous areas and completely eradicate the basis for the survival of the Eighth Route Army.

After reading the situation reported by the intelligence department, Han Yunhua felt that things were extremely tricky, such a war of extermination of civilians without humanity is indeed rare in Asia, maybe Nazi Germany on the European continent is using this method to deal with the Jews, but such a large-scale massacre of civilians on the battlefield in Asia should not happen until a year later, why Tada Jun began to implement this tactic of exterminating humanity as soon as he took office, Han Yunhua couldn't figure it out.

However, regardless of the reasons for the implementation of these two terrible "extermination policies" in North China ahead of schedule, Han Yunhua knew that he had to do something, otherwise he would only make this kind of extermination of humanity more and more intense, and it would bring disastrous consequences to the compatriots in North China. Therefore, this trend of massacring the Chinese people must be stopped, no matter how great the cost.

After thinking about it on the map for a while, Han Yunhua took a magnifying glass and looked at it on the map again, then took out a pencil and drew a circle in a place only the size of a pencil lead, and then Han Yunhua grabbed a phone on the desk and dialed it twice.

After a busy tone, I could only hear a clear voice from the other side of the phone: "Hello, communication company, who are you looking for?" ”

"I am Han Yunhua, sending a telegram to the Sixth and Seventh Divisions in Zhangjiakou, telling Xu Shiyou that he ordered his two divisions to find an opportunity to annihilate the enemy, and this time to teach the little devils a lesson, and order them not to accept the surrender of any situation, not to take prisoners, and to kill the devils and wantonly slaughter my innocent civilians."

"Okay commander, we'll send it right away"

After doing this, Han Yunhua sent another telegram to Yan'an, reporting the massacre of innocent civilians by the Japanese army to Yan'an, and at the same time suggesting that Yan'an let the Xinhua Daily stationed in Chongqing send out the news to create some public opinion pressure on the Japanese army. In the name of the Inner Mongolia Military Region, the top brass of the Japanese army is urging the top brass of the Japanese army to immediately stop the soldiers' animal behavior, otherwise the Inner Mongolia Military Region will no longer accept any form of surrender from any unit of the Japanese army, and will no longer guarantee the safety of the lives of the Japanese prisoners.

As soon as this statement came out, it immediately aroused heated discussions, some people supported it, some people were worried, and some people gloated, of course, the vast majority of the people still supported Han Yunhua's approach. The attention of the media at home and abroad also put a lot of pressure on the Japanese army base camp, after all, the massacre of civilians is not a glorious act, especially as an army, the wanton massacre of unarmed civilians is unanimously hated by the military and civilians of all countries. …,

Therefore, for a time, this behavior of the North China Front Army greatly affected Japan's reputation and status in the international community, and the Japanese prime minister had no choice but to present to the emperor the impeachment of the army's reckless behavior. Forced by public opinion from the outside world, the Japanese emperor had to order the base camp to immediately stop this stupid practice of the North China Front.

Tada Jun was also greatly surprised when he received the telegram of reprimand sent from China, and originally he had made a slight mention at the meeting that he would punish those Chinese peasants who dared to oppose the Imperial Japanese Army, but according to the information sent back by the Special High Branch, most of those hateful Chinese peasants secretly supported the guerrillas of the Eighth Route Army, and even many of them were "good citizens" under the rule of the Imperial Army during the day, and at night they became the Eight Roads that plagued the Imperial Army everywhere. Therefore, when deciding on the "Northern Expedition" this time, Tada Jun thought of fundamentally eradicating the soil and foundation for the survival of the Eighth Route Army, driving all the Chinese peasants together to control them, and ordering the troops to execute all those Chinese peasants suspected of colluding with the Communist Party wherever they passed, so as to lay the foundation for the next step of the imperial army's plan.

But now it seems that the soldiers of the front army hated the Tsubachi Road of China to the extreme, and such a small misdirection of the front army caused such a big movement that even His Majesty the Emperor was alarmed. While secretly saying that he was wronged, Tada Jun was also secretly happy, he thought that this tactic was still very effective, and after just a few days of implementation, Han Yunhua's subordinates had to jump out to "threaten" the imperial army. If it weren't for the fact that the limelight was really tight during this time, Tada Jun wouldn't mind spreading this tactic throughout China's military dispatch.

Although Lieutenant General Tada Jun was very dissatisfied with being reprimanded by the base camp this time, after all, he came out of the central decision-making body, so he still knew some things in the country, especially the dissatisfaction with the current cabinet, which made Tada Jun know that his current position was actually very embarrassing, just as he didn't like the hypocrite of Hideki Tojo, Hideki Tojo and his cabinet didn't like him, a person who always likes to find trouble, so he was gorgeously kicked out of the central decision-making level and came to North China.

But from the bottom of his heart, Tada Jun still likes to be at home and does not want to be the commander of the North China Front. To tell the truth, this commander of the North China Front seems to be in a high position, but in fact he is a hot potato, just look at the fate of General Terauchi Shouichi and General Binshan Yuan.

And as soon as he made a move, he was ruthlessly defeated by Han Yunhua, who had been demonized in the army, although Tada Jun was very annoyed, but he was also very admired for Han Yunhua's use of this method to deal with his own offensive methods.

Soon, the order issued by the North China Front Command prohibiting the troops from slaughtering civilians in China at will was issued to all units on the front line, although the commanders of each unit had very different opinions on this order from the base camp, but as the army elite of the Japanese Empire, they still knew the duty of the soldiers, but there were still some troops who still went their own way and disdained the orders of the front army headquarters.

As the vanguard of the Fifth Division, the Ninth Brigade faced the most difficulties in the entire Fifth Division, and Xu Shiyou, like Han Yunhua, was also a person who did not play cards according to common sense, although there were only more than 22,000 people in the entire Sixth Field Division, but every soldier was a carefully selected elite, coupled with Xu Shiyou's investment regardless of the cost, the weapons and equipment of the entire Sixth Field Division were stronger than those of several other divisions. After receiving Han Yunhua's telegram this time, Xu Shiyou immediately issued a death order to the commander of the 1st Brigade of the 6th Field Division, which had the strongest combat effectiveness, and ordered the 1st Brigade to immediately dispatch and completely annihilate the main force of the 9th Brigade at all costs.

Like Han Yunhua, Xu Shiyou is also full of confidence in his troops, although the strength of the first brigade and the ninth brigade is about the same, the difference between the strength of the two armies is only more than 1,000 people, although the number of the first brigade is larger, but the ninth brigade has more than 40 tanks and armored vehicles, so if it is stronger than the combat effectiveness or the ninth brigade, so Xu Shiyou did not let the first brigade go to the ninth brigade to fight to the death, but let the commander of the first brigade make his own decision, how to fight to what extent Xu Shiyou did not ask, As long as the little devil knows that it hurts, he will become a ......,
