Traveling through 1937, starting from the Battle of Songhu

Chapter 113 The Devil's Empty City Strategy

Only Sukekawa Seiji knew the purpose of this operation. Starting from the afternoon, he went there under the pretext of transporting supplies.

They secretly traveled back and forth to Baimaokou and secretly transported all the soldiers from the first brigade out, leaving only two small teams to guard them.

It can be said that Guli Town is at its weakest moment at this time.

This was mainly due to being misled by Sukekawa Seiji. There were Japanese soldiers moving around in the entire Guli Town during the day and they only stopped at night.

This also led to the fact that the scouts sent by Gu Changfeng did not find anything unusual in Guli Town.

"Sir, there's absolutely no need for you to come out in person this time. We can just go."

There was a hint of flattery in Uchiyama Takeshi's words.

Sukekawa Seiji stared at Takeshi Uchiyama who was speaking with a sharp gaze, which made Takeshi Uchiyama feel a little numb.

After a while, Zhuchuan Jinger said lightly.

"Uchiyama-kun, you're still not calm enough."

"Chinese history books say that even when Mount Tai collapses in front of you, you remain calm. You're still far behind!"

Sukekawa Seiji's words were very serious, which scared Uchiyama Takeshi so much that he had no idea what the captain meant.

Fortunately, Sukekawa Seiji was in a good mood and didn't let him guess, so he spoke directly.

"Our goal this time is to wash away the shame of the league."

In fact, it was not only Gu Changfeng who wanted revenge, but Zhuchuan Jinger was just as eager for revenge as Gu Changfeng.

They crippled nearly two of his battalions, wiped out the Baimaokou defenders right under his nose, and stole so much of the empire's supplies.

It would be strange if Seiji Sukekawa wasn't angry.

The most important thing is that he lost face and received more scolding in the division in the past two days than he had experienced in most of his life. How could he swallow this?

After the news came back in the morning, he secretly sent people to infiltrate Shajiabang and finally tracked them to the reed marsh.

Of course, the lurking Japanese soldiers did not enter, otherwise they would have been discovered by the sentries that had been arranged long ago.

Gu Changfeng often attacked the Japanese at night, so he was naturally afraid of being ambushed, so he sent soldiers to guard the area near the reed marsh and the entrance.

"Lian, Lieutenant Commander, our target this time is the Chinese army we saw during the day?"

Uchiyama Takeshi asked nervously.

A smile suddenly appeared on Sukekawa Seiji's cold face and said.

"Yes, it's these Chinese. They have caused enough damage to the empire."

"If we let them continue to develop, who knows how many imperial warriors will die at their hands."

"So, Uchiyama-kun, you should understand what you have to do."

After hearing this, Uchiyama Takeshi hesitated for a moment and then said, "Your Excellency, these Chinese are not easy to deal with. Moreover, they have robbed so much of the empire's supplies..."

Sukekawa Seiji sneered and said, "Uchiyama-kun, after this battle is over, you should go to the rear. You are no longer suitable to be a staff officer in the regiment."

Well, Seiji Sukekawa's words directly changed Takeshi Uchiyama's position.

At this moment, Takeshi Uchiyama really wanted to slap himself a few times. He had finally gotten the position of regimental operations staff officer through connections.

Just because of your bad mouth, it's gone in an instant?

Let Sukekawa Seiji do whatever he wants, why should Uchiyama Takeshi care so much about other people's business.

I don’t know if my classmates can still help me. It’s okay to transfer them to other brigades, Uchiyama Takeshi thought to himself.

He knew that Sukekawa Seiji had wanted to replace him for a long time, so he had no intention of making excuses.

There has long been a reason for Sukekawa Seiji to be dissatisfied with Uchiyama Takeshi. This guy used his connections to get to the top, and he doesn't have much ability, he just knows how to flatter Shuru.

Before, I turned a blind eye to it because of his classmate who was the division commander.

But now that the squadron has suffered such heavy losses, he doesn't want to keep this person anymore. This is a good opportunity to transfer him away, which is exactly what he wants.

On Gu Changfeng's side, the shelling had already begun, and the Japanese were finally blown out.

However, the number of devils that came out surprised everyone.

"Changfeng, there are not many Japanese devils in Guli Town, let's just go in and kill them!" said Zhao Ziqing.

"Okay, you lead the team and rescue the people."

Gu Changfeng was also surprised. Everything was fine during the day, so how come the Japs suddenly disappeared?

This matter was so strange that it made him feel uneasy.

"Immediately send a telegram to Captain Liao, tell him the situation here, and tell them to wait here until we find the devils."

After giving instructions to the soldiers of the telecommunications squad, Gu Changfeng called the scouts over to inquire about the details of the afternoon.

After listening carefully to the scout's explanation, Gu Changfeng fell into deep thought.

The Japanese made so much noise this afternoon, who was their target?

In fact, Zukawa Seiji didn't know that Gu Changfeng would target their lair.

This time, the whole force was mobilized to completely wipe out Gu Changfeng's troops in the reed marsh, which resulted in the two sides' troops being completely separated.

After thinking for a while, Gu Changfeng still felt uneasy, so he asked the telecommunications team to ask Zhao Chong.

Soon, the response came that everything was normal, which completely confused Gu Changfeng.

Ten minutes later, Zhao Ziqing brought the team back and said to Gu Changfeng.

"There were only two squads of Japanese soldiers in Guli Town, and half of them were wounded Japanese soldiers. We wiped them all out."

"The civilians have been rescued and allowed to escape on their own."

After listening to Zhao Ziqing's words, Gu Changfeng said, "Order all the troops to assemble."

Then he looked at Xiao Wu and ordered: "Take the special forces team out with you and make sure to find the traces of the devils."

"The soldiers from the reconnaissance squad said that the Japanese were frequently traveling to Baimaokou this afternoon. You should scout in that direction."

He didn't know what the Japanese's purpose was, but he felt something was wrong. Now he could only find the Japanese's traces as soon as possible, otherwise he would really be worried.

Upon hearing this, Xiaowu took his team members and set off directly.

They were familiar with clearing traces, so finding someone was naturally not a problem. Gu Changfeng had taught them this before.

Zhao Ziqing looked at Gu Changfeng with a frown on his face, hesitated for a moment, and then asked.

"Should we evacuate immediately?"

Gu Changfeng thought for a moment and said, "Well, you take the Fourth Company back first."

"I'm a little worried about the reed marsh. If anything happens, notify me immediately."

The reed marsh at this moment is his lair. If the lair is raided by the Japanese, it would be really troublesome.

Zhao Ziqing didn't waste any words and shouted directly: "Luo Xiong, organize the team and return to the reed marsh. Hurry up."

Watching the group go away, Gu Changfeng also led the second and third companies towards Baimaokou.

On the Japanese side, Sukekawa Seiji had already led his team into the territory of Shajiabang Town.

In order to march secretly, they had changed into the uniforms of the National Army.

Apart from the fact that most of the Japanese soldiers were short and equipped with Japanese weapons, they were no different from all the other Nationalist soldiers on the surface.

At ten o'clock in the evening, more than ten miles away from the reed marsh.

The Japanese soldiers violently broke down the doors of the people's homes and drove the entire village into the open space.

Sukekawa Seiji stood in front of the people, looked at this group of terrified people, and spoke in Chinese.

"My target is not you, but those Chinese soldiers in Reed Marsh who are against the Greater East Asia Co-Prosperity Sphere."

"So, I need people to cooperate, and I hope some of you can step forward on your own."

His tone was very gentle, as if this could conceal their bandit nature.

When the people heard what Sukekawa Seiji said, they looked at each other and did not dare to speak.

Sukekawa Seiji waited for a while, then suddenly smiled evilly.

"There's an old Chinese saying: If you don't accept a toast, you'll have to drink the forfeit wine. It seems you don't intend to cooperate."

As soon as he finished speaking, the Japanese soldiers pulled the bolts of their guns and pointed the muzzles at the people in the open space.

Now the people were trembling with fear, but no one said a word.

Seeing this, Seiji Sukekawa waved his hand and the Japanese soldiers in front opened fire.

In an instant, seven or eight people in the open space died!

The entire venue was suddenly filled with cries, and the women protected their children in their arms, waiting for death to come!
