[Anti-Japanese Iron Blood King] Chapter 97: The restless Hasunuma Pan

At one o'clock in the morning of the 10th, the special operations team sent a telegram saying that they had infiltrated the city of Zhangjiakou. At the same time, after finding out the enemy's strength, there is now a complete infantry brigade and a gendarmerie of more than 300 people in Zhangjiakou City, and there is also a puppet infantry regiment that has just been formed for less than ten days, with a number of about 800 people.

After receiving the report from the special operations brigade, Ma Zheng immediately called the three cavalry commanders and Wu Xiuda, and then said: "I have figured out the strength of the Japanese army in the city, an infantry brigade plus a military police, and a puppet army infantry regiment, and counting the guards of the Mongolian army headquarters, the total strength will not exceed 2,300 people." ”

Wu Xiuda was overjoyed when he heard this: "Grandma's, there are only more than 2,000 people, it seems that we have won this battle!" ”

"Don't be too happy, although we have more than 7,000 people now, we don't have an advantage as the attacking side. Moreover, Zhangjiakou is not far from Xiahuayuan, where a whole Japanese infantry brigade is stationed, and if we can't solve the battle within two hours, then it will be considered a waste of success. ”

"Commander, what do you say, we will all listen to you!" Wu Xiuda said loudly.

Ma Zheng immediately said: "Pass my order: The first cavalry regiment immediately goes to Dongyaozi Town, northeast of Zhangjiakou, where there is an important stronghold of the Japanese army, and a complete infantry squad of the Japanese army is stationed, and your task is to besiege there." But remember, do not wear new military uniforms, change into civilian clothes and disguise yourself as partisans. ”

"Don't worry, Commander, I promise to complete the task in half an hour!" Ma Desheng said loudly.

"Slow, this is the second point I want to advise, your task is to fight without breaking, to hurt the devils in the stronghold, but not to annihilate them all, to ask them to ask for help from the Japanese troops in the city, to transfer them all out of the city."

"Commander, are you planning to encircle the point and send reinforcements?"

"It's true that the siege is true, but if you don't have a chance to help, it's up to you. If you have the chance, you can fight, and if the Japanese are well defended, don't take that risk. Once the Japanese reinforcements arrive, don't get entangled, take advantage of the speed advantage of the cavalry to quickly move to the eastern suburbs of Lidong Kiln, which is also an important stronghold of the Japanese army, in short, your task today is to constantly harass the strongholds around the Japanese army, and attract all the Japanese troops in the city. ”

"Yes!"

Then, Ma Zheng continued: "The rest of the troops are all divided into two routes, and the second and third cavalry regiments must move to the south gate of Zhangjiakou City before three o'clock in the morning, and there will be a special combat team to meet you at that time. As soon as they saw the signal flare in the city, they immediately attacked the city, and immediately pounced on the important strongholds such as the station, barracks, and arsenal heavily guarded by the devils. ”

"The additional regiment was under my command, and after the battle began, an attack was launched from the north gate, and control of the city gate was quickly seized. Then attack all the way south, and flank the devils in the city with the cavalry regiment, remember, we don't have time to contain the prisoners in this battle, so you know what to do for yourselves! ”

"Yes!"

In the city of Zhangjiakou, Hasunuma Pan, who didn't know that the danger was already nearby, was drinking with the chief of staff Shi Benyinsan, and he also called a few geisha from China, and the small life was so leisurely.

"Shi Ben-kun, how does this wine taste, and how is it different from the best wine you've ever drunk?" Hasunuma Pan said with a sip.

Shi Ben Yinsan said respectfully: "Your Excellency, Commander, I don't like to drink alcohol in my humble position, and I don't know how to drink. However, I can feel that His Excellency Commander's wine is indeed different, the taste is soft but strong, and the origin of this wine must be extraordinary! ”

"Yo Xi, Shi Ben-kun has good eyesight, this is the imperial wine given by His Majesty the Emperor, I only have five bottles here, and I brought two bottles with me this time, and this is the last bottle." Hasunuma Pan said happily.

Ishimoto Inzo said in surprise: "Nani, it is really an honor to humble yourself for the sake given by His Majesty the Emperor, thank you for your hospitality, Your Excellency the Commander!" ”

"Hahaha, Shi Ben-kun, I'm so happy today! The people of China are stupid, and a small infantry brigade dares to fight a positional battle with the Imperial Japanese Army face to face, and it is really beyond their strength! ”

"Your Excellency, Commander, although the actions of the people of China are a bit stupid, their combat effectiveness should not be underestimated. You have also read the battle report that came from the front not long ago, the firepower of the people in China is very fierce, and there are even formed artillery regiments, and there is a lot of pressure from His Excellency Norihide Abe. ”

Hasunuma Pan nodded and said, "I also read Abe-kun's telegram, and he said that he was confident that he would defeat the Shina army, but it seemed a little difficult to completely annihilate them. But don't forget that we still have a strange army, there are so many troops in the Zhina, and now they are all concentrated in Shangyi, and there must be a lack of defense in its defense area, so our army will be able to take Xinghe tonight, and when the time comes, the Zhina army on the front line of Shangyi will definitely be able to annihilate them all. ”

"Yo Xi, or Your Excellency the Commander"

Before Shi Benyinsan's sycophants could be spoken, a young staff officer hurriedly pushed the door in, and he didn't care about being reprimanded, and immediately said loudly: "Your Excellency Commander, I just received a call from the Xiaolu squad in Dongyaozi Town, saying that they were attacked by the Chinese guerrillas, and the troops suffered heavy losses, and asked for operational guidance. ”

"Nani, the guerrillas? Do you know how many people the enemy has? Lieutenant General Hasunuma Pan asked angrily.

"Second Lieutenant Fawn reported that there were several hundred men, and that their fire was so heavy that they had lost their outlying positions in less than ten minutes after the battle began. Now the enemy has trapped them in the running building, and they are in danger! ”

"Baga, how can there be a guerrilla force near Zhangjiakou?" Hasunuma Pan yelled again.

Shi Benyinsan immediately said: "Your Excellency Commander, if the humble position is not bad, these guerrillas must be pretended to be the regular troops under Ma Zheng's command!" ”

"Nani? Are you saying that Ma Zheng's department has arrived near Zhangjiakou? Hasunuma Pan was taken aback by Ishimoto Inzo and immediately asked.

"The lowly position means that the guerrillas outside the city are likely to be small units sent by Ma Zheng's unit to attack and harass our army. Their aim was to sow chaos outside the city, confuse our vision, and eventually force us to return to Zhangjiakou from the front. ”

"Yo Xi, what Shi Benjun said makes sense, so how should we deal with it now?" Hasunuma Pan asked again.

"Since it is a small force, it means that the enemy's strength will not be too much, so we only need to send a force out of the city to reinforce the deer team, and the people of China will definitely not dare to confront us head-on." Shi Benyin three major Zuo suggested.

"Yo Xi, order the Tojo Squadron and the Third Regiment of the Imperial Alliance Army to immediately reinforce the Fawn Squad!"

"Hay!"

Less than twenty minutes later, news came back from outside the castle that the Tojo squadron in charge of reinforcements had been attacked by the Shina cavalry halfway through, and the troops suffered heavy losses, but they had solved the crisis in Higashiyaozi Town.

However, before Lieutenant General Hasunuma could rejoice for ten minutes, another urgent telegram came from the Ridong kiln on the eastern outskirts of the city, where the defenders said that they had just been attacked by the Chinese guerrillas, and that the troops had suffered heavy losses and asked for reinforcements.

Lieutenant General Hasunuma Pan was furious and immediately ordered another infantry squadron in the city to reinforce the Ridong kiln.

At this time, the atmosphere in the Zhangjiakou Military Police Headquarters was already very tense, and two places were attacked in a row, which made Lieutenant General Liannuma Pan very uneasy.
