I really came here to fight against Japan

Chapter 81: Another Captain Committed Seppuku

Song Wenwan has many ways to deal with the Japanese army's night attacks.

For example, using mortars, firing flares into the sky, and firing flares into the sky continuously.

While rushing towards the headquarters, the chief of staff kept looking back, which was the direction of Commander Zheng's position.

From time to time, flares hit a large area in front of the position.

From time to time, there would even be people coming forward to shoot a few bullets at the Japanese soldiers' heads.

The Japanese positions were also illuminated clearly.

The main point is, if I don’t sleep, you can’t sleep either.

The Japanese regiment commander is not in the position now.

He was called back by the Japanese detachment commander and given a slap in the face.

Before he left, he ordered that no soldier should open fire and expose the target while he was away.

To prevent his regiment from being retaliated by the Chinese artillery again.

Two-thirds of his regiment had already suffered casualties. If he was bombarded several more times, he would have no choice but to commit suicide to thank his countrymen.

Finally, the Japanese commander decided to let him go, let him defend his position, and not participate in the attack tomorrow.

The National Army's theater commander and chief of staff have already communicated and confirmed that Commander Zheng's seizure was genuine.

At three o'clock in the morning, a clear text telegram was sent to the Ministry of National Defense in Wuhan.

"The Fifth War Zone's battle report: Today, our division commander Zheng's troops and Xigan's detachment commander Song's troops are fighting together to fight the Japanese invaders to the death.

With the help of Commander Song's artillery company, the National Army's artillery company fired thousands of cannons at the same time, greatly destroying the Japanese army's manpower.

After an hour of arduous fighting, a total of six Japanese Type 75 field guns and an artillery depot were destroyed.

Two Type 92 infantry guns and six Type 95 tanks of the Japanese army were destroyed, and four tanks were captured.

They completely wiped out an infantry battalion of more than 800 men, seized more than 200 Type 38 rifles and more than 26,000 rounds of bullets.

The rest of the Japanese battalion's light and heavy weapons have all been destroyed.

As for the casualties of our troops today: they were not heavy, basically the same as those of the Japanese army.

All the troops in the Fifth War Zone will continue to fight bravely and will never let the Japanese army invade an inch of Zhuangzi's land."

A plain text telegram from the National Army in Shandong caused a huge stir in the early morning.

The Wuhan Headquarters, the Ministry of National Defense and the General Staff replied to the commander of the war zone three times in a row, asking about the authenticity of the telegram.

Especially asking what the sentence "the artillery company fired thousands of cannons at once" means.

What Wuhan did not expect was that the commander-in-chief of the Fifth War Zone was the famous loyal and honest elder.

He actually replied: It's like a thousand cannons firing at the same time, which is a modifying word and has the same effect.

The situation in Wuhan was ridiculous. They all said that the commander of the war zone had won the battle and his mood was different.

Finally, at five o'clock in the morning, important military officers from various divisions gathered in the combat conference room to study and discuss the direction of the war in Shandong.

The Japanese Central China Expeditionary Army Headquarters also sent telegrams at night.

Ask the Japanese commander outside Zhuangzi what the actual damage was and whether they can continue fighting.

The commander of the Japanese detachment, as usual, denied any casualties.

He also said that after dawn, they would attack Zhuangzi as soon as possible to expose the lies of the Kuomintang army.

There is no way out since the expeditionary force headquarters has already begun to hold people accountable.

The regiment commander had no choice but to commit seppuku. The losses of tanks and field artillery were all blamed on his command errors.

At seven o'clock the next morning, Shandong's victory was reported in the special editions of major newspapers.

What no one expected was that not many people talked about the "main force" led by Commander Zheng.

Instead, it was the "artillery battery firing thousands of cannons at once" that was remembered by the world.

It is said that Commander Song is very magical. In the past, he could turn beans into soldiers, and now he can turn beans into cannons.

Some people also argued that no matter how much you throw beans to make cannons, a company of only a hundred people can't operate 10,000 cannons, right?

As soon as he said this, he was immediately surrounded.

"Why don't you believe it? Commander Song is a god. Otherwise, why don't you make a movie like Eight Hundred that can be seen in the future and show it to everyone?"

In fact, neither side believed the one-to-one casualty ratio between China and Japan.

As for the captured tanks, Wuhan has no way to verify it.

It is estimated that the last five war zones will also say that the captured tanks have been blown up because they are difficult to transfer.

Later, through word of mouth among the Chinese military and civilians, Song Wenwan also became Song Daxian.

This allowed Song Wenwan to avoid the attention of the Japanese intelligence agencies in a very dangerous way by claiming to be a charlatan.

By daybreak, the Japanese regiment commander's body was already completely cold.

The deputy commander of the Japanese army was promoted by their detachment commander.

This time he was very proud of himself, tidying up his own appearance... oh no, it should be his own appearance.

He thought proudly that his own regiment commander was usually too harsh on his subordinates and somewhat indecisive in military command.

However, the commander of the corps had a bad habit of putting the blame on his subordinates whenever something went wrong.

This time, he was blamed by his own detachment commander and was forced to commit seppuku.

In order not to repeat the mistakes of the wing commander, he also has to plan carefully.

I must strive to accomplish something so that my safety can be guaranteed to the greatest extent.

At noon, Song Wenwan rushed over and reported to the commander-in-chief of the theater in person.

"Commander-in-chief, there's something wrong with the Japanese army on the other side. The intensity of the attack today is much weaker than usual."

Song Wenwan's topic was very serious, but the smile on his face made him look like a little fox about to steal the roast chicken.

The commander-in-chief asked with a smile: "Commander Xiao Song, please don't keep us in suspense. Did the Japanese army have any flaws that you found again?"

Song Wenwan didn't hesitate, but took out a telegram and handed it to the commander-in-chief.

It reads: "Commander Song Junjian, commanding the 4th Detachment of the Southwest Allied Forces of Gansu and the 2nd Artillery Regiment.

We will arrive at the designated location in one day and are now engaging the enemy in secret. Please give us your instructions, Commander Song!"

When the commander-in-chief saw this, he was extremely excited about the contents of the telegram.

Through yesterday's battle with the Japanese army, the Gan Detachment's combat capability gave the commander-in-chief a clear understanding of their strength.

He could even determine that if Song Wenwan's two detachments and the artillery regiment were combined together.

It is not certain that the more than 20,000 Japanese devils outside the village can defeat Song Wenwan’s troops.

Song Wenwan said: "The Japanese army's actions have only two intentions.

One reason was that they suffered heavy casualties in manpower, and their ammunition and food became scarce and could not be replenished in time.

Therefore, the Japanese army is now at the end of its strength and is unable to continue its attack on Zhuangzi.

Another thing is that the Japanese nowadays are very gambling-minded and they will never give up the victory that is about to be achieved.

The reason why the Japanese army is not attacking now is probably that they want to paralyze us.

In other words, the Japanese army will launch a sneak attack on our defense line tonight.

So Commander, would you please consider my suggestion yesterday?

Let the Japanese in tonight and give them the illusion of impending victory so that they will give up the idea of ​​retreating.

As long as we can keep these 20,000 or so Japanese soldiers who are short of clothes and ammunition near the village.

By tomorrow night, my Fourth Brigade will have successfully encircled them, and we won't have to wait for that Tang Laizi anymore. We can defeat these 20,000 little devils by ourselves."
