Chapter 21: Rage
The first wave to arrive in Shuangfeng Town was the Devil Railway Patrol.
Needless to say, the importance of railways to devils is not to be said.
In this era, there were no highways and provincial roads, only winding and potholed dirt roads, and the devil's little bean Ding truck could not afford the material needs of hundreds of thousands of troops, so the Japanese army formulated a strategy to occupy the surrounding important cities along the railway line.
Naturally, the devil's protection of the railway is also first-class.
Nearly 100 railway patrols patrol day and night to guard against all attacks.
The railway patrol is a small unit, and the number of people is smaller than that of the ordinary devil army squad, but the combat effectiveness is far greater than that of ordinary squads, as for the reason, each railway patrol is equipped with an armored car.
The armored car is equipped with train wheels, which can travel on the railway, and also has off-road rubber tires, which allows it to travel on the road, and it is also easy to switch.
Even if the usual thin-skinned stuffing of Japanese armored vehicles was implemented, with an armor of only eight millimeters, it was a complete disaster for the Republic of China army, which lacked anti-armor weapons.
The thin-skinned stuffing has the added benefit of being able to travel on soft soil.
Shuangfeng Town is only twenty miles away from the railway, and when dozens of people from the Devil's Railway Patrol arrived at Shuangfeng Town, the military station and the garrison headquarters building were still burning, and the fire was still very strong.
You can even see feral cats warming themselves on a nearby fire.
"What's going on here?"
The captain of the devil's railway patrol sneered, without the slightest sense of heartache, and even with a gloating smile.
It's not that the railroad they're in charge of was attacked, and a bunch of waste died.
What can be uncomfortable?
The little devil captain approached the burning station, stretched out his hands, and his face was ruddy.
It's a warm fire!
"About an hour ago, a group of guerrillas attacked the town of Shuangfeng, killing the people at the station and the town's garrison headquarters," replied the devil he sent out to inquire.
There were townspeople all around, and it wasn't hard to inquire about these things.
"A bunch of rubbish, with heavy troops stationed everywhere, can actually let the guerrillas touch here"
The Devil Squad Leader's tone gloated.
The patrols of the Pinghan Railway were under the direct command of the North China Front, and the soldiers were all first-class soldiers, or devil soldiers who had come down from first-class divisions, and they all regarded themselves very highly, and looked down on these third-line divisions or police units.
In their eyes, in addition to the first-class division, the others are a group of waste who eat dry rice...
As for the Navy, that's horse manure!
At this time, the garrison brigade stationed in Shijiazhuang also came over a squad, and before the squad could figure out the situation, they were panting and were met with a burst of cynicism from the captain of the railway patrol:
"Can you bunch of wastes be serious, don't think about being lazy all day long and wasting imperial resources?"
"The town so close to the railway line was attacked by more than a hundred guerrillas, and even the military station and warehouse were burned, and the Empire's holy war is progressing slowly everywhere because of you."
"Yaga··"
The captain of the garrison team just wanted to scold back, but when he saw that the other party was a railway patrol, he immediately shut up.
The Japanese army was highly hierarchical and hierarchical.
The status of the railway patrol is much higher than theirs.
This equipment can be seen, not to mention armored vehicles, just talking about machine guns, the other side is equipped with a Type 96 machine gun, this machine gun is similar to the enemy's machine gun, imitating the shape of the Czech type, but using a 30-round arc magazine, and they can only use the old and problem-prone Type 11 machine gun.
Moreover, now they have come out of the basket and have been attacked by the enemy.
If he dares to talk back, the other party will definitely fan him with a big ear scraper.
"Let's go on patrol on the railroad line..."
The captain of the railway patrol ran away after scolding.
As for chasing down the guerrillas...
It's my!
My mission is to patrol the railways and ensure the safety of the railways.
The guerrillas were not attacking the railway.
Hmph, forgive them for not daring to attack the railway·····
"Go to the neighborhood and grab a few people to ask about the situation"
Looking at the military station and the garrison headquarters that were burned to ashes all over the ground, the captain of the devil garrison team who had just been scolded turned black like the bottom of a pot, and when he saw that the devil soldiers who were ordered by him paused, he immediately kicked over:
"Yaga, hurry up!"
Hearing that the Shuangfeng Town Military Station was attacked, Sanhao Dazuo, the captain of the North China Garrison Brigade of the Japanese Army stationed in Shijiazhuang, was suddenly frightened into a cold sweat, and hurriedly drove with a group of people.
By the time Sanhao Dazuo drove to Shuangfeng Town, nearly two hours had passed since the attack.
"Where did the attackers come from? What about the losses? ”
As soon as he got out of the car, Sanhao Dazuo couldn't wait to ask.
In the middle of the night in February, in the weather of more than ten degrees below zero, the head of this Sanhao Dazuo was faintly sweating.
There are people living here, but Kuichi Ikeda Nakasa...
Don't let anything happen to this man...
Sanhao Dasa prayed in his heart.
Although his Dazuo, the other party is only Zhongzuo, but he is a younger brother in the eyes of others!
He has a deep domestic background, and has a large number of contacts in the military, politics and business worlds, which is far from being comparable to him, the garrison commander who his grandfather doesn't love and his father doesn't love.
He wanted this master to live in Shijiazhuang City, but people refused, he had to live outside the city, and asked to live in a Japanese-style private room, so as to ask for a quiet area, he had no choice but to build a private room in Shuangfeng Town, a town with heavy military assistants on all sides...
I didn't expect that this place was attacked on the first day of living·····
"Report, Shuangfeng Town Military Station and Garrison Headquarters were completely blown up by the enemy"
"The soldiers in the station, the police of the garrison headquarters, and the others living in the station should all be killed, but the bodies have not been fully exhumed due to the fire, so it is not certain that we are cleaning up, but no survivors have been found so far..."
The news from the team leader made Sanhao Dazuo's eyes darken.
But there was still a glimmer of hope in his heart.
Ikeda Nakasa is an elite, he also studied in Germany, he is proficient in the so-called special operations, one person is worth five ordinary soldiers, he should be able to run away...
Isn't this a corpse that hasn't been counted yet?
However, reality dealt him a fatal blow.
The captain of the first team to arrive reported to him: "A total of 37 charred corpses were found in the military station, and it was confirmed that all the people in the military station were killed, and all the three tons of medicine in the warehouse were stolen..."
"Yaga..."
Hearing the news, Sanhao Dazuo's eyes instantly turned red, and a big-eared scraper slapped the lieutenant squad leader who came to report on the face, slapping the corners of his mouth bleeding.
"Who is it, who is it that attacked Shuangfeng Town, find out for me and kill them all"
Drawing his portable katana, Mihiro Daisaru swung wildly.
Carefully avoiding the blade, the hot cheeks of the squad leader ninja on the side, said: "Judging from the remaining footprints, the attackers should have come from the west, with about a hundred people, with about thirty mules and horses."
Because of the previous slap, the voice of this squad leader was a little deformed:
"This group of people has been hiding in the woods on the left side of the town before, and they have been hiding for a short time, it seems that they should have premeditated an attack on Shuangfeng Town."
The devil is not a straw bag, although it is at night, but following the footprints left by the assault company, you can naturally easily find the traces of the assault company. Without the constant goose feather snow, the footprints would not disappear so easily.
"Premeditated, more than 100 people, with more than 30 mules and horses, came from the east"
A staff officer on the side was muttering to himself, and suddenly his eyes lit up, and he said to Sanhao Dazuo:
"I remember, I received a report from Yangquan before, and there was a group of people, also more than 100 people, with more than 30 mules and horses, who passed through the Yangquan defense area at night on a snowy day, and this group of people even deliberately cleaned their footprints."
"Could it be that this group of people attacked the Shuangfeng Town Station?"
"Yang Quan?"
Sanhao Dazuo frowned: "Yangquan seems to be more than 170 miles away from Shuangfeng Town, and the guerrillas came so far to attack Shuangfeng Town, just to grab a few tons of medicine?" ”
"It's very likely, the guerrillas are very short of medicines, and our blockade has made it impossible for them to buy medicines from outside, although Shuangfeng Town is surrounded by our heavy troops, but its own defense is very poor..." The staff officer guessed.
"Wait, codebook!"
Sanhao Dazuo suddenly remembered: "There is a communication squad at the Shuangfeng Town Military Station with Ikeda Nakasa, and they have a code book."
"Go and see if the codebook is burned"
The codebook has special markings, and special traces can be seen after being burned.
"Hi"
The team leader, who had not yet wiped the blood from the corners of his mouth, hurriedly ran to the wreckage that had not been extinguished for a short time, and then commanded dozens of devils under his command to rummage through it.
"Commander, the phone number of the Jinan Command, His Excellency Chief of Staff Suzuki is waiting for you, he asks about this attack"
At this time, a staff officer came running and brought bad news to Sanhao Dazuo.
Sanhao Dazuo's expression froze.
How did His Excellency the Chief of Staff know?
And so fast?
His puzzled staff officer also gave him an answer: "Your Excellency Suzuki is angry, he received information from the commander of North China that our jurisdiction has been attacked, and he is mainly asking about the situation of Ikeda Kuichi Nakasa this time"
"It was the railway patrol that sent a telegram to the North China Command"
The staff officer's words suddenly made Ikeda's heart suddenly rise.
"Trouble ·····"
Major General Suzuki Led Michi, Chief of Staff of the Second Army of the North China Front, it is said that Suzuki Remichi and Ikeda Kuichi were both disciples of the Great General Honjo Shigeru.
When he learns that his junior brother has died, how angry will His Excellency the Chief of Staff become?
Sanhao Dazuo suddenly felt a thrill.
"Your Excellency, we have found no traces of the burning of the code book, it seems that it was captured by the enemy" At this time, the squad leader with blood stains on the corner of his mouth brought another bad news.
Suddenly, the sweat on Sanhao Dazuo's head suddenly rolled and ooze, and in this winter, he was covered in steam.
In his precinct, the codebook was seized by the enemy, which was enough to remove him from power!
"Yaga..."
He was furious, roared angrily, and slapped the unlucky squad leader in the face.
This slap was extremely powerful, and the squad leader, who was originally one meter shorter, was fanned out.
