Umezu Mijiro's poisonous scheme

Seeing that an elite infantry brigade of his own, under the strafing of the opponent's dense bullet rain, it was like an autumn wind sweeping away the leaves, and in the blink of an eye, it became a corpse in one place. In the end, a brigade of nearly 10,000 soldiers, with less than 1,000 demoralized remnants left, was defeated and withdrew from the battlefield in embarrassment.

General Umezu Ijiro, whose face was still full of confidence just now, was immediately flushed red with anger.

Clenched his fists and scolded loudly: "Baga, cunning Zhina, I must break your corpses into thousands of pieces and avenge the fallen soldiers・・・・・・"

Seeing the commander staring at the red-eyed commander in front of him, because of the destruction of a brigade, the chief of staff, Lieutenant General Sakai Ichiro, who also had a pain in his heart like dripping blood, the only bit of reason he had was replaced by anger. Facing Mitsu Ichiro, who was beside him, he suggested angrily.

"Your Excellency, Commander, I suggest that in order to take revenge for the shameless acts of the Chinese army, to avenge the fallen soldiers, and to improve the morale of the troops at present, we should immediately shoot a group of Chinese civilians, and through this bloody means, we should severely deter the surrounding Chinese troops so that they will not dare to act rashly again... ̈"

"Your Excellency, Commander, I agree with the Chief of Staff to use the heads of the Chinese to bury the fallen soldiers and boost the low morale of the troops..." As soon as Sakai's words fell, they aroused the approval of the generals behind him. After all, for these generals, as long as they can improve the morale of the troops, even if they kill more Chinese, it doesn't matter.

However, as the supreme commander of this army, Mitsu Jiro, who is tasked with bringing this army out of China. Although the same anger in the heart, I want to carry out a complete revenge. However, the raging anger did not make him lose his mind. I didn't think about the suggestions of the generals behind me, and I rejected it very decisively.

"Yaga, shut up for me...."

In the midst of their own scolding, all the generals were unwilling to close their mouths. But you can see it clearly from the expressions on their faces. For his decision, the subordinates in front of him were not very convinced.

"Kill the Chinese out of anger and boost morale. Could it be that the elite Kwantung Army of the Japanese Empire has been reduced to the point where it needs to use the heads of the Chinese people to boost its morale? As a high-ranking general of the Kwantung Army, you actually came up with such a method, and I, as the commander, am really humiliated by you...."

Seeing the crowd who didn't speak, Mitsu continued to speak every time.

"Besides, you've seen it along the way. The Chinese in our hands can be said to kill one less than one. Didn't you think that if we didn't have 20,000 Chinese as a bargaining chip in our hands? If we are exposed to the wild, will we end up in anything... ̈"

For a while, in the face of Mitsu's explanation, the generals, who were still menacing just now, immediately showed a look of shame. Keep your head down, don't say a word...

A few minutes later, Lieutenant General Ichiro Sakai, who was the chief of staff, spoke first.

"Your Excellency, Commander, in that case, let's go next..."

"Ordered the troops to move on. In the face of the Chinese army's resistance, according to the old method, the Chinese people were coerced to launch an attack together. However, you have also seen the battle just now. The cunning Chinese army, with the semi-automatic rifles in their hands, very easily cracked our white-knuckle battle. Therefore, in the next battles that we may encounter, we must also change our tactical tactics....."

Looking at everyone's expectant gaze, Mitsu Ishiro, a battle-hardened veteran, did not disappoint everyone and ordered directly.

"Although our troops are not armed with semi-automatic rifles and submachine guns. However, the proportion of light machine guns is still very high. The order was to immediately assemble all the light machine guns equipped with the forward divisions into the hands of the forward wing. Once the Chinese army launched a counter-charge, under the cover of the Chinese people in the middle of the troops, they greeted me fiercely with bullets...

Seeing the eyes of his subordinates, as his voice fell, a glimmer of light was immediately revealed. The corners of Mitsu's mouth immediately showed a sly sneer, and he said confidently.

"I believe that in the face of our new way of playing, for the safety of the Chinese in our hands, the cunning Chinese army will definitely retreat in the face of difficulties... ̈"

"Hayi, Your Excellency the Commander is wise... ・・・”

The first battle was successful, and at a small cost, a Japanese infantry brigade was successfully annihilated. Chief of Staff Sun Shiquan, as the commander-in-chief, was happy, and immediately began to organize the troops, preparing to launch a second strike against the Japanese breakthrough troops... ̈

In a simple temporary headquarters, Chief of Staff Sun Shiquan held a telescope in his hand and stared at the road at the foot of the mountain, waiting for the arrival of the main force of the Japanese army. A cavalry scout, quickly jumping off his horse and running in front of him, panting and reporting.

"Report to the chief of staff, according to the reconnaissance, the main force of the Japanese army has sent a wing of troops, and 2,000 civilians, quickly rushed towards our army's blocking position. In twenty minutes at most, the enemy and our armies will be engaged. ”

"Twenty minutes, the order goes down, all combat units, without my order, it is forbidden to act in advance...." After speaking, Sun Shiquan, who had a serious face, raised the telescope in his hand again... ̈

Sure enough, at the end of the road, the mighty Japanese attacking troops had already appeared in their binoculars. With the passage of time, the figure of the Japanese offensive troops became more and more clearly displayed in Sun Shiquan's eyes... ̈

"No, the little devil's attack formation is not right... ̈"Just when the Japanese attacking troops were only five hundred meters away from the position. Sun Shiquan's brows immediately furrowed, and he said to himself.

It turned out that the Japanese army, which had changed its tactics and tactics, in order to give better play to its own advantages, had to disperse some of the civilians in the middle of the attack queue to prevent possible artillery bombardment. Nearly 1,000 civilians, lined up in two rows, were under the threat of the Japanese army's hundreds of light machine guns and black holes, located almost ten meters in front of the entire offensive queue, and slowly advanced towards the blocking position of the East China Field Army... ̈

With the reminder of Chief of Staff Sun Shiquan, the faces of several other commanders in the command center, after carefully watching the Japanese attack procession, also changed from the surprise just now to the shock and worry now...

"Chief of Staff, the Japanese army's tactics are very tricky... ̈" Wang Guodong, the head of the guard regiment directly under the Corps, said with a serious face.

"Hmm..." Chief of Staff Sun Shiquan nodded suddenly. Immediately, he said with a solemn face.

"The purpose of the Japanese army in doing this is obvious, as long as our army launches a counterattack, the hundreds of machine guns deployed in the front will definitely eliminate the civilians in front of them in the shortest possible time. Then, under the cover of these civilians, a dense network of fire fired by hundreds of machine guns killed and injured a large number of the living forces of our army... ̈"

"When the time comes, our counterattack forces will not only suffer heavy losses, but will also return in vain. Even the nearly 1,000 ordinary people who walked at the forefront will die in vain because of our counterattack. Mitsu every time, I really didn't expect that this old devil would break our tactics so quickly..."

"Chief of Staff, then we're going next...." Under the explanation of Chief of Staff Sun Shiquan, the faces of several commanders in the command headquarters immediately turned pale. Head Wang Guodong hurriedly asked.

"For the sake of the people, for the sake of our troops, there is only one way to go... Order the troops to withdraw from the battlefield immediately, open the road, let the Japanese break through, and ..... quickly." Sun Shiquan didn't think about it for too long, and ordered very decisively.

"Yes, Chief of Staff... ̈"

Looking at Wang Guodong, who was leaving quickly, Sun Shiquan followed closely behind and ordered to another commander.

"You, immediately send a report to the commander, and report to the commander exactly what we have encountered. …,

At the same time, I sent a telegram to the commander that my Sun Shiquan would continue to lead the troops to turn around with the Japanese breakthrough troops, and look for favorable fighters as much as possible...."

Sun Shiquan's telegram, which only stayed at the headquarters of the Seventh Corps for less than ten minutes, was forwarded to the hands of the commander-in-chief, Liu Hua. Seeing that his tactics were broken, Liu Hua did not show much surprise. After all, his opponent was a battle-hardened veteran of the Japanese army.

Thinking of this, he directly ordered Zuo Quan, the chief of staff beside him: "Chief of staff, call back to all departments immediately, since you can't do it, then don't do it." After all, according to everyone's summary, our tactics have already achieved a lot of results. Based on these results alone, some Umezu Ijiro was heartbroken...

"Commander-in-Chief, I understand... Also, do you want to send a war report to the Central Committee? After all, the central government is very concerned about this battle, and we have already sent several telegrams, all of which have been temporarily suppressed by us. If I don't call back, I'm worried about the central government..." Zuo Quan nodded and asked.

"Of course, we can't afford to keep the chairman waiting too long..." Liu Hua said affirmatively. Immediately, with a mysterious face, he took out a telegram written by himself from the drawer, and said solemnly to Zuo Quan in front of him.

"Chief of Staff, this is a telegram I wrote to the chairman, and you will immediately send it to the Central Committee in the form of a secret telegram...

"Commander-in-Chief, I understand..." As he spoke, Zuo Quan had already taken the telegram and walked out quickly.
