The blood of the Anti-Japanese War stained the mountains and rivers

Yang Ling brought the new China's military parade here, and it was the first time to show it in front of the soldiers and civilians. The majestic momentum made people's blood boil.

"Join China, let's go to the national calamity together!" Huagou, the deputy battalion commander, roared and saluted the rostrum.

"Join China, let's go to the country together!"

The teams passing the rostrum also paid their attention to the rostrum, and the officers and soldiers roared in unison, the sound pierced through gold and cracked rocks, and it made people's eardrums hurt.

Seeing these heroic Chinese officers and soldiers, General Zhou Fu, director of the Political Department, suddenly stood up, raised his hand in return, and respected them.

And the military officers on the rostrum all stood up and returned the salute, and the atmosphere became extraordinarily solemn for a while.

"Join China, let's go to the country together!"

I don't know who in the crowd shouted, and it soon turned into a shout of mountains and tsunamis, and the corners of many people's eyes became moist. This scene was remembered by the flashes of cameras.

Text Chapter 36 New Commander

When the North Jiangsu Corps held a large-scale commendation meeting and military parade in Jieshou, the devils in Gaoyou were not happy.

The "Wolf" plan formulated by Taro Sano, the former detachment leader of the devils, ended in failure. Except for reoccupying Nantong by means of a sneak attack, the other troops either fell into the air or fell into ambush.

The worst thing was that the Pingshan Brigade, which was going north to attack Jieshou, ended up completely wiped out.

It would be understandable to accidentally lose a brigade in the process of confronting the heavy forces of the Chinese army on the frontal battlefield.

Now the territory of Jiangsu is already regarded as the occupied area of ​​the little devils, and it is impossible to explain the loss of a brigade in the occupied area.

The former detachment leader of the devil, Taro Sano, was also a man of interest. He took the initiative to assume all the responsibilities, and committed suicide in apology. Finally, the commander of the devil Huazhong, Shunliu Hata, survived the interrogation of the base camp.

But after such a defeat in Jieshou, neither the devil soldiers in Gaoyou nor the devil's Central China Commander Hata Junliu were unwilling.

Therefore, soon, the devil Osa Watanabe, who was on the front line of Jiujiang, was transferred back to succeed the detachment leader, responsible for clearing the Chinese army in Jiangsu.

And the devil Dazuo Watanabe did not dare to neglect his skills, and rushed from the front line of Jiujiang to Gaoyou to accept the troops almost non-stop.

But what was waiting for him was more than a mess. Because of the encouragement of the Northern Subei Corps, those Chinese regular troops and local troops who had previously dared not fight the devils all launched attacks and sabotage operations against the devils.

In just one week, more than [-] Japanese soldiers were killed and countless wounded.

Therefore, when the new Japanese detachment leader Toshiichi Watanabe arrived in Gaoyou, he was faced with low morale and a battalion full of wounded soldiers.

In the face of the mess left by his predecessor, if scolding his mother is useful, the ghost Dazuo Watanabe Shouichi did not know how many times he scolded his mother.

But now that he was the new detachment leader, facing the siege and low morale of the Chinese army everywhere, he had no time to seek revenge from Yang Ling and the others, but had to start rectifying the troops.

With the arrival of Watanabe Shouichi in Gaoyou, the name of the devil's detachment was also changed to Watanabe detachment.

Watanabe Shouichi led the troops on the frontal battlefield to fight against the main force of the Chinese army, and was known for his ferocity and bloodthirsty.

This is also the reason why the devil's Huazhong Commander Hata Jun transferred him to Jiangsu six times, because now there is an urgent need for someone who can hold the place.

And Watanabe Shouichi did not disappoint the commander of the devil Huazhong, Hata Junliu. He started killing on the first day he arrived in Gaoyou.

Of course, it was not the Chinese civilians or prisoners of war who were killed, but their own people. The Gaoyou gendarmerie of the devils attacked everywhere and arrested more than 20 soldiers who violated military discipline, drunkenly and made trouble.

The composition of these officers and soldiers under Watanabe's detachment is extremely complicated. Except that most of the supplementary soldiers are from the mainland, most of the heavy soldiers are recruited from the Korean Peninsula.

These soldiers and devils are afraid to use them with confidence. They are usually put in the supply unit as hard labor, but now the troops are stretched and they have to be temporarily incorporated into the army.

However, the military discipline of these soldiers was extremely poor, so Watanabe Shouichi ordered the shooting of more than 20 soldiers on the first day he arrived in Gaoyou in order to rectify the military discipline of the detachment and improve combat effectiveness.

And those captains who thought Watanabe Shouichi was just an officer and didn't take him seriously saw Watanabe Shouichi's actions so violent and decisive, and they restrained themselves and dared not do it again.

As soon as Watanabe Shou came, he ruthlessly dealt with his own people, and he managed to calm down the situation. Immediately, he notified the officers above the level of each brigade to hold a military meeting in Gaoyou to find a solution to the corrupt situation.

Because they have seen Watanabe Shouichi's ruthlessness, all the officers who were notified attended the meeting as nonvoting delegates.

Wearing major and lieutenant ranks, the devil commanders and staff officers sat upright on both sides of the long table in the conference room, and the entire conference room was silent.

"At present, the China Sulu Guerrilla Corps is number one, and the third regiment is attacking Dongtai."

"The first part of the 117th Division of China is encroaching on our defense area in the northeast of Gaoyou."

"The China North Subei Corps sent a large number of stragglers to infiltrate our outer defense line, and the Gaoqiao Brigade on the outskirts of Tai County is fighting the enemy's marine police force..."

"Baoying's troops have been besieged for five weeks and are about to run out of ammunition and food."

......

The officers in the conference room were sitting upright, listening carefully to the devil's intelligence staff who read out the battle situation everywhere.

In addition to Gaoyou, the independent and mixed 12th Brigade in the north is fighting against the Chinese 89th Army in the Yancheng area, which relieves some of the pressure for them.

But in the area around Gaoyou, the situation is not optimistic. Now not only regular troops and guerrillas are attacking them, but even the self-defense forces in those villages and towns are attacking and ambushing their transport teams.

Now the devil officers feel that they are surrounded by enemies, but because the combat effectiveness of the troops under their command is worrying, several counterattacks have had little effect, while those local guerrilla troops are familiar with the terrain, but they can always find their weak points to attack.

Following the briefing by the intelligence staff officer, every devil officer had a solemn face and a bitter heart. This battle was impossible to fight at all.

Although the devil's detachment leader Watanabe Shouichi knew the situation was serious, he didn't expect it to be so serious.

"Facing the large-scale attack of the Chinese army, why didn't you launch an effective counterattack? Has the Imperial Japanese Army become powerless?!"

After listening to the briefing from the intelligence staff officer, the devil's detachment leader Hisashi Watanabe snorted coldly, his lingering eyes swept across the officers sitting in a state of distress, and asked coldly.

"Your Excellency, the detachment leader, I don't know. The Chinese army is extremely cunning. They take advantage of the local combat advantages to gather and disperse. Our troops have attacked more than ten times, but they have returned without success..." Devil Captain Takahashi Stand up and defend yourself.

"You not only returned without success, but also killed more than a hundred outstanding soldiers of the empire! You have shamed the Great Japanese Empire!" The detachment leader Watanabe Shouichi mercilessly exposed the scars of the captain Takahashi.

"Hi Yi!" Faced with such an accusation, Captain Takahashi couldn't explain it at all, and could only bow his head heavily, because it was the truth.

"Your incompetence has led to the corruption of the war situation and the continuous loss of the soldiers of the empire. You should, like Captain Sano, commit suicide and apologize to His Majesty the Emperor!" Watanabe Shouichi roared loudly.

Although these are all facts, hearing such merciless criticism, the captains blushed with shame and indignation, and their hatred for the guerrillas deepened in their hearts.

If it weren't for those cunning guerrillas, how could they have lost the battle and suffered such humiliation.

Seeing these embarrassing and indignant captains, the detachment captain Hisashi Watanabe paused and continued.

"I have been appointed by your Excellency Commander to come here this time, just to give you a chance to wash away your shame. If this time you are weak against the Chinese army as before, I will remove you personally and send you off. Go to court-martial! Do you understand?!"

"Hi Yi!"

All the devil officers stood up and bowed their heads, determined to wash away their shame.

"Now I order that all troops immediately withdraw to Gaoyou and abandon the occupied areas."
