Quartermasters can also fight the devils

Chapter 227 Turning Point (7)

Liu Er led Hong Dazhi and several soldiers in the squad and carefully came to a house near the headquarters of the 19th Regiment of the Japanese Army. Liu Er found a ladder from the house and whispered to everyone, "The squad leader and I will go up to the roof to check the situation. You guys stand guard below."

Hong Dazhi and Liu Er slowly climbed up the ladder to the roof. Not far in front of them was the headquarters of the 19th Regiment. With the faint light from the Japanese regiment headquarters, the two could roughly see the scene in the yard of the Japanese headquarters.

"Sergeant, there is a Japanese officer sitting over there. He seems to be a high-ranking official. Should we take him down?" Liu Er saw Lieutenant General Yoshizumi Yoshisuke sitting in the yard at a glance.

Hong Dazhi also saw Lieutenant General Yoshizumi Ryosuke sitting in the yard. After observing for a while, he nodded and said, "Well, just beat him. The others are standing, but he is the only one sitting there. He must be a high-ranking official, at least a captain."

If Lieutenant General Yoshizumi Ryosuke knew that in the eyes of these Chinese soldiers he was just a battalion captain-level officer, he would probably jump up and tell them loudly, "I am the division commander, Lieutenant General, and you are the battalion captain, and your whole family are battalion captains."

Hong Dazhi also called several soldiers under his command to the roof. He asked everyone to aim at the Japanese officer sitting in the yard. Then everyone should shoot at the same time and run away after shooting, and evacuate here as soon as possible.

The soldiers were very enthusiastic and skilled at this kind of shooting from behind. They slowly and carefully climbed up to the roof in various directions and aimed their rifles at the Japanese commander who was sitting in the middle of the yard in front.

The tactics on Hong Dazhi's side were also very clear. Although they could not see the officer's rank clearly, this did not hinder their determination to shoot secretly. For them, as long as they were Japanese soldiers, they were their targets. As for officers, they would definitely be given priority. Moreover, if so many people shot together, the possibility of killing the officer would be more certain.

He led a squad of soldiers to search for an entire night and finally found a target that could be attacked. He absolutely could not miss this good opportunity.

Lieutenant General Yoshizumi Ryosuke finally waited for the person sent by Colonel Hitomi Hidezo to report the news, but when he heard the report from the soldier who reported the news, he jumped up from the stone bench in the yard.

He learned from the reporting soldier that the Chinese troops who had attacked the division headquarters camp had escaped, and Colonel Hitomi Hidezo had sent a squadron of soldiers to pursue them, but the most crucial thing was that the commander of the 18th Brigade, Major General Ishu Nobutoki, was missing.

This is trouble. Although Colonel Hitomi Hidezo did not let the soldier report that Major General Ishu Nobutoki might have been captured by the Chinese army, Lieutenant General Yoshizumi Ryosuke was no fool. He understood that Colonel Hitomi Hidezo said that Major General Ishu Nobutoki was missing because he was afraid of causing panic and morale among the troops. Missing at this time is almost the same as being captured.

Lieutenant General Yoshizumi Ryosuke was now worried. It was no longer important whether Hongcheng could be captured or not. He had already made preparations for the expeditionary force to hold him accountable after the war. But if the brigade commander of his own unit was captured by the Chinese army, he would not be able to get rid of the responsibility.

Lieutenant General Yoshizumi Ryosuke waved his hand somewhat dejectedly to let the soldier leave. He now needed to think carefully about the disappearance of Major General Ishu Nobutoshi and how he could minimize the impact of this incident.

Reporting that Major General Jing Shuxuanshi died in battle? No, the body has not been found, this method will not work. Moreover, if the army really captured Major General Jing Shuxuanshi, then the Chinese government would publish the photo in the newspaper, and then my crime would be even greater.

It seems that the only way to solve the problem is to find the Chinese troops that launched the sneak attack and then destroy them all. Major General Jing Shuxuantoshi must be in their hands. By then, no matter whether Major General Jing Shuxuantoshi is dead or alive, they will have a lot of room to maneuver. They can then report that Major General Jing Shuxuantoshi died while pursuing the Chinese army. Of course, it would be even better if they could rescue Major General Jing Shuxuantoshi alive.

Thinking of this, Lieutenant General Yoshizumi Ryosuke made up his mind. He would no longer care about the battle in Hongcheng city. He wanted to transfer the 101st Division to the city as soon as possible to fight. He would personally lead the troops of the th Division to go outside the city to look for the Chinese troops that had launched a surprise attack.

Lieutenant General Yoshizumi Ryosuke was just about to stand up and go to the 19th Regiment's headquarters to use the radio to contact the 101st Division to come quickly and take over their battle in Hongcheng when he heard several gunshots.

Lieutenant General Yoshizumi Yoshisuke felt a pain in his body and fell straight down involuntarily. Lieutenant General Yoshizumi Yoshisuke cursed in his heart: "Baga, the small harassment force of the Chinese army, where are the people of the 101st Division? How could they let the small Chinese force run to such a far place, bastards."

Lieutenant General Yoshizumi Yoshisuke was knocked down by the sudden gunfire, which frightened the ten Japanese officers and soldiers around the regiment headquarters. A lieutenant officer ordered the soldiers to quickly surround the fallen division commander to prevent the Chinese army from continuing to shoot at the fallen division commander, while running to the division commander, Lieutenant General Yoshizumi Yoshisuke, to check on his condition.

"Hurry, send the division commander to the regiment's field medical station, quickly." The lieutenant officer looked at the blood flowing from the body of the division commander, Lieutenant General Yoshizumi Ryosuke, and felt despair in his heart. Judging from the blood flowing, he knew that the division commander was shot at least three times, and he didn't know if he could be rescued from such a serious injury.

As for sending people to chase the small Chinese troops that fired the black guns, forget it. There are only ten of us now, so we should quickly escort the division commander to rescue them. This is the most important thing.

Liu Er was the last one to come down from the roof. As soon as he got to the ground, he quickly said to Hong Dazhi, "Squad leader, that Japanese officer should be dead. I saw the Japanese soldiers surrounded him. He must be a high-ranking officer. Haha, the Japanese soldiers didn't send anyone to check. They all escorted the officer out of the yard and left. I guess they sent him to the doctors in the field hospital for rescue."

Hong Dazhi felt relieved after hearing Liu Er's report. He had already tried his best. With so many people shooting at the same target, if they still couldn't kill the Japanese soldier, it could only be said that the Japanese soldier was lucky. So, he didn't worry about the life or death of the Japanese officer. Now, all he had to do was to run away with his soldiers.

Under the leadership of Liu Er, Hong Dazhi and his soldiers quickly left the house and courtyard. They had to continue looking for Japanese troops to shoot and hit them with clubs.

When Lieutenant General Yoshizumi Ryosuke was sent to the nearby medical station of the 19th Regiment, the lieutenant officer in charge quickly sent a soldier to tell the regiment commander, Colonel Hitomi Hidezo, about the situation here, and now the regiment commander was needed to take charge of the situation.

Colonel Hitomi Hidezo is now trying hard to find the brigade commander, Major General Iishu Nobutoki, in the division headquarters camp. He led his men to carefully check all the fallen officers and soldiers and searched every tent, but still could not find any trace of Major General Iishu Nobutoki. He can only hope that the people searching around can find Major General Iishu Nobutoki.

The Japanese squadron responsible for pursuing the suicide squad officers and soldiers was also trying hard to chase forward, but due to the interference of the horse herd in the north, they chased in the wrong direction in the dark, and now they were getting farther and farther away from the suicide squad.

"Your Excellency the Commander, Your Excellency the Commander." A soldier ran up to Colonel Hitomi Hidezo with a rifle on his back and said breathlessly.

Colonel Hitomi Hidezo was already extremely annoyed. After seeing the soldier's appearance, he angrily reprimanded him, "Why are you panicking? Have you found the brigade commander, Major General Ishu Nobutoki?"

The soldier saw that the commander was in a very bad mood, so he quickly adjusted his breath and said quickly: "No, commander, it's the division commander. The division commander was shot by a small Chinese force in the courtyard of the regiment headquarters and has been sent to the regiment medical station for emergency treatment."

When Colonel Hitomi Hidezo heard that the brigade commander, Major General Ishu Nobutoki, had not been found, he became even more annoyed. But when he heard the soldier say that the division commander, Lieutenant General Yoshizumi Ryosuke, had been shot by a small Chinese force at his own regiment headquarters, he was so scared that his face turned pale.

What the hell is going on? Can't there be some good news to make me happy? The 101th Division's troops in Hongcheng are finished. The division commander was shot and rescued. The brigade commander was probably captured by the Chinese army. This is even more troublesome than the st Division.

Colonel Hitomi Hidezo could no longer care about anything else. He quickly asked someone to notify the squadron that was pursuing the Chinese sneak attack troops to return to defend the division headquarters and continue to search for the whereabouts of the brigade commander, Major General Iishima Nobutoshi. He then took a squadron of officers and soldiers and rushed into the city without stopping.

Colonel Hitomi Hidezo is now constantly praying to Amaterasu in his heart, hoping that nothing will happen to the division commander, otherwise the morale of the 9th Division will be ruined.

After Colonel Hitomi Hidezo arrived at the regiment medical station with his troops, he immediately ordered the officers and soldiers of this squadron to thoroughly search the area around the medical station and surround the medical station. He was now afraid that he would be shot by the ubiquitous small Chinese troops.

After receiving a call from Colonel Hidezo Hitomi, commander of the 36th Regiment, Colonel Jiro Wakisaka, commander of the 19th Regiment, immediately rushed over with two squads of officers and soldiers. When he heard Colonel Hidezo Hitomi say on the phone that the division commander had been shot and was being rescued, and the whereabouts of the brigade commander were unknown, he broke out in a cold sweat.

"Hitomi-kun, what's the situation now?" Colonel Jiro Wakisaka, commander of the 36th Regiment, came to Colonel Hidezo Hitomi and asked in a low voice.
