Chapter 1937 12.27

Noon, December 27, 1937.

Li Zongren, commander-in-chief of the Fifth War Area, had been concerned about the defense of Hangzhou.

He was looking at the enemy and our forces' situation map on the sand table.

Calculating silently in his heart.

Jia Chuan, chief of staff of the Fifth War Area, brought up a telegram.

Most of the 53rd Division had successfully entered Anji, but the 82nd Division was now blocked by the 18th Division of the Japanese army and could not enter Anji.

He requested instructions on whether to retreat in another direction.

The 106th Division retreated smoothly, the Japanese pursuit was not strong, and they had now successfully retreated to Lin'an.

Seeing this, a smile finally appeared on Li Zongren's face:

"This retreat was well planned and well organized.

Most of our troops have completed their planned objectives.

Very good!"

Chief of Staff Jia Chuan looked at the position on the sand table and said with some incomprehension: "We still have the 82nd Division that has not returned."

Li Zongren pointed to Deqing and said:

"The Special Operations Brigade is fighting for the road with the Japanese 18th Division at Gaosiling, north of Deqing.

They also want to pass through Mogan Mountain.

In order to open up this lifeline, the Special Operations Brigade has also organized troops to attack Deqing."

The senior staff officers of the Fifth War Area present were no longer studying how the troops participating in the defense of Hangzhou were retreating.

Seventy thousand out of 100,000 troops were already safe, which was already a miracle.

The remaining 82nd Division only needed to hide.

They could return when the Special Operations Brigade opened up the road.

Now the senior staff officers of the Fifth War Area were all studying the operations of the Special Operations Brigade in the past two days.

Starting from their airdrop at Jianqiao Airport.

Among the migrant workers hired by the Special Operations Brigade, there were people from the National Army.

Their purpose was to monitor the Special Operations Brigade.

However, those people were still unable to send back any news.

All the news that the Fifth War Area had now was provided by the Special Operations Brigade itself.

Analyzing from the telegram sent back by the Special Operations Brigade: they had completely wiped out two Japanese battalions in Linping.

They had destroyed thirteen Japanese aircraft.

How exactly was such a battle fought?

This was what these staff officers wanted to know most.

However, the telegram only had one sentence: Today, the entire Japanese infantry battalion and a Japanese cavalry battalion that were pursuing our army were wiped out in Hujia Village.

The Fifth War Area was very clear about the current strength of the Special Operations Brigade.

It was about 1,200 people, with transport planes carrying five infantry companies, one artillery company, and one medical company.

How could such a team completely wipe out two Japanese battalions?

No one was paying attention to the Special Operations Brigade's achievement of shooting down thirteen aircraft anymore.

With the magic cannon, such a result was normal!

Li Zongren silently looked at Hangzhou, his voice somewhat low: "If our troops could all be like the Special Operations Brigade..."

…

All the staff officers in the headquarters remained silent!

Not to mention being as capable as the Special Operations Brigade, they only needed to be as courageous as them.

Being able to airdrop into Jianqiao Airport when the entire Hangzhou garrison decided to retreat.

Seizing supplies!

A team that could do just that was very brave.

Not to mention that the Special Operations Brigade had given up the opportunity to retreat by air.

They insisted on taking the supplies and fighting their way back to Anji by land.

What kind of spirit was this?

This fearless spirit was what the current National Army lacked most.

Li Zongren sighed: "It is easy to find a thousand soldiers, but hard to find a general!"

He already knew about Lin Fan's performance in the past few months.

He also understood why such a talented person had not been promoted and reused by the Principal, who loved talent so much.

"The Principal is still a bit short-sighted!

When the country is in distress, petty thoughts should be extinguished, and everything should be focused on the war of resistance!"

Li Zongren was a figure who could stand up to Chiang Kai-shek.

Of course, he could say that about the Principal.

However, he did not directly appoint Lin Fan as a division commander or transfer him to be an army commander.

If it were not for the current situation, he would have had that power.

Now was the time for national resistance, and the entire country was maintaining Chiang Kai-shek's image as a leader.

Many things were no longer what Li Zongren could do as he pleased.

Resistance! Only when the entire nation's military and civilians were united could they achieve final victory!

Especially now, when the Japanese were in the upper hand.

At this time, north of Deqing, it was clear that the Special Operations Brigade was in the upper hand.

Second Company Commander Gu Xiangdi led the entire company out again.

Following behind him were the officers and soldiers of the Second Company of the Eighth Regiment.

Under the leadership of Company Commander Yan Yuda, they took four anti-aircraft guns to the front of Yamasato Taro's battalion.

Two minutes later, the four 88mm anti-aircraft guns opened fire.

The First Company on Gaosiling, with two Type 92 infantry guns, directly blocked the retreat route of Yamasato Taro's battalion.

Five mortars fired down from the high ground, bombing the Japanese troops.

The Second and Fourth Companies' infantry guns and mortars did not stop either, and they all bombarded Yamasato Taro's battalion.

Battalion Commander Yamasato Taro, who was hiding in the dead corner of Gaosiling's shooting range, was originally happy that he had repelled the National Army's pursuit.

All that was left was to attack Gaosiling.

Suddenly, he realized that he had caused trouble!

He had caused big trouble!

Artillery shells fell like raindrops, exploding in the midst of his own team.

The mortars in his battalion that had just been stubbornly firing were now silent.

The Second Company started charging! The Fourth Company was chasing in cars!

Under Lin Fan's command, Fourth Company Commander Fang Ankang organized a heavy machine gun and two light machine guns on a car.

They charged towards the Japanese along the road.

Second Company Commander Gu Xiangdi looked at Fourth Company's equipment and slapped his thigh in regret:

"Why didn't I think of that?"

Company Commander Yan Yuda commanded the four anti-aircraft guns, and the bombardment of Yamasato Taro lasted less than two minutes.

After firing fifty shells, they stopped when Fourth Company's cars drove up.

The Second and Fourth Companies' infantry guns also stopped firing.

Only the mortars continued to bombard the Japanese.

While charging towards Yamasato Taro's battalion, Gu Xiangdi said to his soldiers:

"Didn't expect it! I, Gu Xiangdi, have fought my way back again.

Don't say you didn't expect it, I didn't expect it myself.

In a short while, I've run back and forth on this road.

I can recognize this road with my eyes closed."

The soldiers of the Second Company smiled as they charged!

Their company commander was too funny!

The Japanese soldiers of Yamasato Taro's battalion were bombed on the highway.

They ran off the road and hid on both sides.

The Fourth Company organized two cars to charge, with heavy machine guns leading the way, and quickly broke through the entire Yamasato Taro battalion.

They set up a defense line on the road, and they were actually going to block all the Japanese on this section of road less than 1,000 meters long.

Lin Fan's goal was very clear: to not let a single Japanese soldier escape!

There was a platoon of soldiers in Fourth Company's two cars.

They carried two heavy machine guns and six light machine guns.

Company Commander Fang Ankang had just gotten out of the car.

He ordered: "Set up bombs!"

This was the strongest means of the Special Operations Brigade now.

Once the bombs were set up: if the Japanese charged too fiercely.

They would retreat a section of the road and blow up these charging Japanese.

If the Japanese's charge was not strong, at most, after the battle was over, they would just recover these shells.

The First Company on Gaosiling had also stopped the bombardment of Yamasato Taro's battalion.

All the officers and soldiers of the First Company were watching the Japanese soldiers scattered and fleeing in the distance from the top of the mountain.

The soldiers of the Second and Fourth Companies were launching a pursuit of those Japanese in squads!

Yamasato Taro never expected that the battalion he led would be so easily dispersed by the National Army.

Now was not the time to be sentimental, he had to escape quickly.

Battalion Commander Yamasato Taro was in a relatively remote location.

He had a natural advantage in escaping.

He led his battalion headquarters in a hasty retreat.

The entire Yamasato Taro battalion headquarters did not dare to retreat from the highway.

They took a small road and did not run towards Deqing.

Battalion Commander Yamasato Taro knew: "There are not many troops in Deqing County.

The only two infantry battalions have all died here.

Returning to Deqing at this time would mean continuing to escape!

It's better to run directly to Mogan Mountain, where there is a brigade of the Imperial Army.

It's very safe!"

Lin Fan did not expect that this Japanese battalion would be so easy to fight.

A round of bombing, a wave of charges, and the battalion of thousands of Japanese soldiers disappeared.

After Lin Fan came to his senses, he immediately ordered the troops to quickly clean up the battlefield.

At this time, Xiao Dongbei led the Fourth Regiment and had launched an attack on Deqing County.

The Fourth Regiment was wearing Japanese uniforms and walked all the way to the outside of the south gate of Deqing County.

Unfortunately, no one in the entire regiment could speak Japanese.

First Company Commander Song Jin could only shout to the top of the city wall:

"Open the door!"

The puppet army squad leader Li Hai on the city wall looked at the team of Japanese troops under the city.

Thousands of Japanese troops were waiting neatly under the city.

He quickly ordered: "Open the door! Open the door!"

He didn't know what was going on today, but the Japanese troops on the city wall had all withdrawn.

Li Hai, as a puppet army squad leader, didn't dare to ask anything.

He didn't dare to say anything.

The Japanese troops had just occupied Deqing, and they were very arrogant.

They didn't take them, these puppet troops, seriously at all.

The Fourth Regiment entered Deqing in an orderly manner.

Li Hai led his squad of fifty puppet soldiers to stand at the city gate to welcome them.

Xiao Dongbei looked at this sensible puppet army squad leader.

He asked kindly, "What's your name?"

Hearing the commander with a Northeastern accent asking his name.

Li Hai trembled with excitement.

He knew that the Japanese troops from the Northeast were very good at fighting.

Such powerful Japanese troops were actually asking his name.

"Lord Japanese! My name is Li Hai, the squad leader guarding the city gate."

"Why are only you at the city gate? Where are the others?"

Seeing the Japanese lord was angry, Li Hai quickly explained:

"Reporting to the lord Japanese! The lords were urgently transferred this morning.

I really don't know!"

"Where are the other Japanese troops in the city?"

"Reporting to the lord Japanese! I really don't know! I don't dare to ask or inquire about the lords' actions.

"I don't dare to ask or inquire about anything." Li Hai was about to cry.

Xiao Dongbei suddenly said angrily:

"What's the use of keeping you if you don't know anything?

You're the best at eating!

Does anyone know what the lords in the city went to do?"

No one answered!

In the eyes of these puppet troops, this Japanese lord was obviously angry.

Xiao Dongbei ordered: "These puppet troops can't do anything.

But they're the best at eating!

Take away their weapons."

The puppet soldiers in Li Hai's squad didn't resist!

They had no intention of resisting in front of the Japanese troops.

Xiao Dongbei ordered: "Seventh Company! Take over the defense and guard the north of the city."

Then he said to the Li Hai squad that had already been disarmed: "You, you, you...

Stand out! Be our guides!

Who is in charge of Deqing? Why isn't there a single Japanese lord?

"It's outrageous."

Xiao Dongbei said to these puppet troops who had been selected:

"Lead the way, go to the Japanese lords' headquarters."

Li Hai reacted at this time.

The Japanese lord was looking for the Japanese lords!

If he didn't perform at this time, when would he?

He quickly said: "Reporting to the lord Japanese! There are only four places in the city where the Japanese lords are:

One is the Japanese field hospital;

One is the headquarters of the Japanese 18th Division;

One is the Yamasato Taro Infantry Battalion's camp,

The city wall was guarded by Yamasato's lords, but they withdrew this morning.

Another place is the Matsuda Uchi Takuya Mountain Artillery Battalion's camp."

After Li Hai finished speaking, he could clearly see the expression on the Japanese lord's face softening a lot.

Xiao Dongbei continued to ask: "What about you puppet troops? How many of you are there in Deqing?

Where is your camp?"

"Reporting to the commander! We have a battalion in Deqing.

The battalion headquarters is in the city, I'll take you there."

Xiao Dongbei didn't expect that there would be so many Japanese troops in Deqing.

He pondered for a moment: "Sixth Company, go to the field hospital;

Fifth Company, go to the Infantry Battalion's camp;

Fourth Company, go to the puppet army battalion's camp;

Third Company, go to the Artillery Battalion's camp;

First and Second Companies, follow me to the Japanese headquarters."

Capture the leader first!

This was Xiao Dongbei's plan, which was why he specially arranged for the two most combat-effective companies of the Fourth Regiment to attack the Japanese headquarters.

Liu Ziqian received the telegram sent by the Fourth Regiment.

She immediately sent the message to Lin Fan.

Lin Fan looked at Xiao Dongbei leading the Fourth Regiment into Deqing.

This change was a bit fast!

Lin Fan originally only wanted the Fourth Regiment to feign an attack on Deqing County to reduce the pressure in his direction.

He never thought that they would enter Deqing so easily.

They were expanding their victory!

The situation had changed, and the Special Operations Brigade's plan had to be adjusted accordingly.

Lin Fan ordered: "Fifth Company, send out reconnaissance teams to search the road back.

See if there are any pursuers behind us.

Third Company, search forward in the direction of Qinglong Mountain to see if there are any Japanese troops ahead.

Second Company, Fourth Company, and the Second Company of the Eighth Regiment, quickly advance in the direction of Deqing.

Attack Deqing County!"

Lin Fan couldn't help but think: The Special Operations Brigade was able to fight so well because the Japanese cooperated so well.

From the telegram sent by Xiao Dongbei, Lin Fan understood the Japanese's plan!

The Japanese infantry originally stationed in Deqing County had all been sent to the north of the city to intercept his team.

Deqing County was now in the Japanese rear, and they did not expect that there was a team that had traveled from Hangzhou to the north of Deqing.

There was also a team lurking in the south of Deqing.

In fact, there was one thing that Lin Fan did not expect: Commander Ushijima Sadaharu of the 18th Division had taken the battalion headquarters and ran away at the first opportunity.

The Second and Fourth Companies, who were cleaning up the battlefield, received the order and immediately set off for Deqing.

Lin Fan had already ordered that the battlefield under Gaosiling be cleaned up by the migrant workers.

Those migrant workers now loved to clean up the battlefield.

Every time they cleaned up the battlefield, they would receive a reward of a set of Japanese uniforms.

Now these migrant workers had each taken apart a stack of cloth pieces.

Now these migrant workers were still busy and happily making lunch.

This morning, these people had eaten the offal they had collected yesterday.

There was also fried horse lungs and stewed horse meat for lunch.

They were all hard dishes.

These two days, they had been eating better than during the New Year.

Now they heard the news of victory from the front.

The brigade commander ordered them to go to Gaosiling to clean up the battlefield after lunch.

How could cleaning up the battlefield wait?

These migrant workers left twenty experienced cooks to cook and prepare dishes.

The rest drove the carts back towards Gaosiling.

They were racing against time!

These migrant workers knew that the Special Operations Brigade's current situation was not good.

There were Japanese troops blocking the front and Japanese troops pursuing from behind!

They, these laborers, could do more for this team.

They would try to do as much as possible!

They only hoped that this National Army team could safely return to Anji.

After the Seventh Company Commander Yong Zhihe of Xiao Dongbei's Fourth Regiment received the order.

He immediately sent two squads to drive these puppet troops into a house in the north of the city with only a door and no windows to guard them.

First Platoon Commander Zhang Youzhi immediately went to the city wall to deploy heavy machine guns, mortars, and Type 92 infantry guns.

The city gate was also closed!

The first platoon's mission was to defend the outside!

Second Platoon Commander Xiao Wengui led the soldiers on the city wall, their main task was to monitor the city.

To prevent the Japanese troops in the city from suddenly appearing and attacking the city gate.

Sixth Company Commander Gong Minggang led the soldiers to rush towards the Japanese field hospital under the guidance of a puppet troop.

Deqing County was not big, and the Sixth Company did not run for ten minutes.

They smelled a faint smell of iodine in the air.

"The field hospital is ahead!"

This was originally a hospital in Deqing, but it had now been requisitioned by the Japanese troops.

The puppet troop Zhou Rong, who was leading the way for the Sixth Company, looked on in shock:

Two Japanese troops guarding the entrance of the hospital.

Before he could say anything, the Japanese lord who had him lead the way stabbed him to death with a bayonet.

This team of Japanese lords was so ferocious!

Zhou Rong was already trembling with fear.

These Japanese lords rushed into the hospital, but they didn't do much.

As long as the Japanese lords in the hospital obediently listened.

If they followed the order and came out, nothing would happen.

As long as there were questions, the response would be a bayonet!

Company Commander Gong Minggang knew Lin Fan's policy: the Special Operations Brigade needed these Japanese doctors and nurses.

Those who could be used by us would be kept!

Those who could not be used by us would not be fed by the Special Operations Brigade!

Xiao Dongbei led the First and Second Companies under the guidance of puppet army squad leader Li Hai.

They quickly rushed towards the headquarters of the Japanese 18th Division.

Along the way, Xiao Dongbei saw that the entire county was deserted.

No one was moving around during the day.

Deqing County had just been occupied by the Japanese troops, and most of the people had fled the city.

Some of the people who stayed in the city, apart from the traitors, no ordinary people dared to move around.

This made the two companies of the Fourth Regiment advance very smoothly on the streets.

When they rushed to the entrance of the 18th Division's headquarters, Li Hai was stunned.

In his memory, the headquarters had military police on duty, and the Japanese lords were coming and going.

Now the courtyard door was wide open, and there was no one there.

Xiao Dongbei rushed into the house, the ground was in a mess.

It was obvious that the Japanese headquarters had left!

Now was not the time to investigate the reason.

Xiao Dongbei coldly looked at Li Hai, who was already trembling with fear:

"Take us to the Japanese artillery battalion camp."

At this time, gunfire had already sounded in the city.

"Where is the gunfire coming from?"

Li Hai quickly replied: "Lord Japanese! Judging from the gunfire, it seems to be coming from the infantry battalion's direction."

"Take us there!"

Captain Sakata Ryota on the north wall looked at the city in doubt.

He couldn't understand anything.

Captain Sakata Ryota ordered: "Send someone to take a look!"

At this moment, Funasawa Kazuki pointed to the outside of the city: "Captain! National Army!

"The National Army is here!"

Captain Sakata Ryota also saw a team of National Army rushing over from outside the city.

He immediately ordered: "Everyone, prepare! Fire!"

The Second Company, which was rushing in front, did not expect that they were still 800 meters away from the city wall.

They were bombarded by Japanese artillery fire! "Disperse! Disperse!" Gu Xiangdi watched the shells explode in his team.

He shouted loudly.

Yan Yuda followed behind the Second Company, hearing the artillery fire in front.

He immediately ordered: "Everyone in the company, prepare to fire!"

Lin Fan was acting with the Second Company.

Hearing the Japanese artillery fire.

From the sound of the landing explosion, he could tell.

There were many Japanese guns!

Lin Fan took three steps and rushed to the anti-aircraft gun.

He adjusted the angle and direction and immediately fired.

His hands quickly operated,

He kept reporting data and guiding the other three guns to synchronize with him.

They fired at the calculated position.

They suppressed the Japanese artillery.

The Matsuda Uchi Takuya Battalion had twelve 70mm caliber guns.

They never expected that the attack would come so suddenly.

They had only fired two rounds of shells when shells fell on their own positions.

It was as if the other side had been prepared for a long time.

Lin Fan operated the anti-aircraft gun and launched a wave of rapid bombing at the Japanese artillery position.

Although the Second Company only had four guns, they were in the dark and the Japanese were in the light.

Before the Japanese of the Matsuda Uchi Takuya Battalion could react.

Their artillery position had been bombed to smithereens.

Hearing the artillery fire coming from the north wall, Xiao Dongbei.

Hearing that the gunfire in the city had stopped.

He immediately changed his plan: "Take us to the north wall!"

Hearing the gunfire in the city, Li Hai.

He had some guesses in his heart, but he didn't dare to ask anything!

Hearing the artillery fire coming from the north of the city again, his previous guesses disappeared.

This newly arrived team of Japanese lords had not sent a team to the north of the city.

It seemed that the guns in the north were not fired by them.

Li Hai quickly led the two companies towards the north.

Gu Xiangdi's Second Company was bombarded by Japanese artillery fire, with more than a dozen soldiers killed or wounded.

It immediately disrupted their attack rhythm.

By the time they sent the wounded down.

The Fourth Company had already rushed in front of them.

Captain Niu Binshi of the Fourth Company, who was rushing towards Deqing, had already seen the battle on the city wall.

He quickly sped up his pace and rushed up.

Captain Sakata Ryota on the city wall watched the Special Operations Brigade soldiers who were still 500 meters away.

He ordered the Japanese troops under his command to be on full alert.

They were just waiting for this National Army to rush up and fire.

At this time, reinforcements ran over from the city. Although he didn't recognize the commander of this team.

He did recognize the puppet army squad leader Li Hai who was leading the way.

While running, Li Hai shouted: "Lord Japanese! This is the team of Japanese lords who just arrived.

"They came here specially to help defend the city."

Captain Sakata Ryota watched the team rushing over.

The entire team was dressed neatly, with a complete set of standard imperial equipment.

The soldiers were also in very good spirits.

Even when they were running, they still maintained their formation.

Of course, only the Imperial Army could have a team with such quality.

Captain Sakata Ryota guessed in his heart: This might be the 114th Division chasing the National Army.

He had heard in the headquarters that a National Army team had caused the 114th Division to suffer a great loss.

So the 114th Division sent two battalions to chase them down.

Captain Sakata Ryota smiled and politely welcomed the team armed to the teeth.

Xiao Dongbei strode towards the Japanese captain who was welcoming him.

His right hand was on the hilt of his command sword.

When the two sides got close! Xiao Dongbei shouted: "Kill!"

The command sword swung like lightning, and the smile on Captain Sakata's face had not changed.

His head had already been chopped off.

Liu Hualin and Zhang Xuesheng, who were beside Xiao Dongbei, held machine guns and started扫射at the Japanese troops on the city wall.

The soldiers of the First and Second Companies, like mercury pouring down, rushed towards the Japanese troops along the city wall.

The First and Second Companies were the main force of Xiao Dongbei's regiment.

There were more than 300 people, which was almost half more than Sakata Ryota's company.

It was also a premeditated attack.

This sudden attack caused heavy casualties to the Japanese troops of the entire Sakata Company in the blink of an eye.

They completely lost their ability to resist.

Niu Binshi, the Fourth Company Commander who was rushing towards Deqing, had already seen the battle on the city wall.

He hurried up and rushed up.

The city gate had been opened, and the Fourth and Second Companies rushed into the city.

Matsuda Uchi Takuya Battalion Commander watched his artillery position fire only two rounds of shells.

He was bombed by shells from the sky.

He was so frightened that he could only order: "Transfer the position!"

His artillery battalion had nearly a thousand Japanese troops.

These Japanese troops didn't fire their guns anymore, they immediately began to dismantle the artillery.

They prepared to transfer.

When these Japanese troops had not prepared for the transfer.

He saw the Special Operations Brigade, which had just been outside the city, enter the city at this time.

This speed frightened Battalion Commander Matsuda Uchi Takuya out of his wits.

He could no longer care about these cannons.

He ordered again: "Give up the flames and retreat to the east of the city."

They were close to the east of the city, and it was the fastest to leave the city from the east.

The Japanese troops of the entire Matsuda Uchi Takuya Mountain Artillery Battalion didn't want anything now.

The artillery team was rushed to by the infantry, and they had no power to fight back.

Battalion Commander Matsuda Uchi Takuya had no choice but to abandon all the cannons and supplies.

He led the Japanese troops to escape quickly.

Gu Xiangdi, the Second Company Commander who had just rushed into the city, pointed to the Japanese artillery who were escaping from the city wall.

He shouted excitedly, "Chase after them!"

Today, his Second Company, running around like this, was always chasing the Japanese troops.

If they weren't chasing the Japanese troops, they were being chased by the Japanese troops.

This time, the Second Company started chasing the Japanese troops again.

Xiao Dongbei led the First and Second Companies to occupy the north of the city.

Li Hai saw his team leading the way greet the team that rushed into the city.

He realized that these teams were all National Army.

He quickly said to Xiao Dongbei: "Commander! Commander! I have the National Army in my heart!

"I'm a National Army in the heart of the Japanese!"

Xiao Dongbei looked at him, as if he saw through his thoughts.

Li Hai didn't dare to speak.

Xiao Dongbei said at this time: "I'll give you a chance to atone for your sins.

"Take the Fourth Company to your battalion headquarters.

"Let those puppet troops put down their guns.

"Or annihilate them all!"

Fourth Company Commander Niu Binshi rushed into the city.

After listening to Xiao Dongbei's introduction, the entire Deqing County was not actually controlled by the Fourth Regiment.

There were more than a thousand puppet troops in the city, still in the camp.

The Fourth Regiment had only sent one company to hold back those puppet troops.

He told them to go to support first.

Xiao Dongbei's First and Second Companies had to go to the Japanese battalion camp in the city to take a look.

Xiao Dongbei ordered the Second Company to chase after the Japanese artillery battalion along the city wall.

The First Company left a platoon to guard the north wall.

The remaining two platoons of the First Company followed him to support the Fifth Company.

When he led the team to the Japanese battalion camp.

The Fifth Company was searching in the Japanese camp.

Fifth Company Commander Wan Jun reported: "There are only twenty Japanese troops here.

"They have been killed.

"No Japanese battalion has been found, and the entire company is now cleaning up the battlefield.

"Searching for the remaining Japanese troops."

What else could Xiao Dongbei say?

He quickly led the two platoons to the field hospital to take a look. Da Feng Novel Network

When Xiao Dongbei led the team to the hospital, the Sixth Company had completely controlled the hospital.

Gong Minggang reported: "There are now 136 seriously wounded Japanese soldiers in the entire hospital,

"Two hundred and thirty lightly wounded soldiers.

"There are eighty-seven doctors and nurses in total."

Xiao Dongbei waved his hand: "We don't want the wounded!"

"But!" Gong Minggang reported with some difficulty.

"What's going on?" Xiao Dongbei asked seriously.

"These Japanese doctors and nurses all said: If we kill these wounded.

"They will definitely not cooperate with us.

"These Japanese troops want us to act in accordance with international conventions."

Gong Minggang reported.

"What kind of conventions? If the things written on paper were useful, what's the point of fighting?"

Although he said that, Xiao Dongbei did not let Long Minggang continue to execute the previous order.

He said to Gong Minggang: "Keep an eye on those wounded, especially the lightly wounded.

"They are capable of killing people.

"Also, send someone to the north of the city to find the brigade commander and ask him to come over to solve the problem!"

"Yes! We will definitely keep an eye on these Japanese troops and guarantee the completion of the mission."

Gong Minggang replied loudly.

In order to completely occupy this Deqing County, Xiao Dongbei was really worried.

Now he had to go to the Japanese artillery battalion camp to take a look.

Matsuda Uchi Takuya Mountain Artillery Battalion Commander was gratified to see his soldiers who were intercepted in the east of the city.

There were more than 300 Japanese troops who escaped from Deqing County with him.

All the rest were left in Deqing County.

Matsuda Uchi Takuya Mountain Artillery Battalion Commander did not understand: There was the headquarters of the 18th Division in Deqing City.

Logically speaking, it should not have been so easily counterattacked by the National Army.

What exactly was the problem?

While thinking about the problem, he quickly escaped.

The soldiers of the Second Company, under the leadership of Company Commander Gu Xiangdi, finally blocked the Japanese artillery battalion in the east of the city.

However, the Japanese troops who ran the fastest still left the city after all.

Fortunately, they also blocked hundreds of Japanese troops.

Most of these Japanese troops were unarmed, but they bared their teeth and claws and rushed towards the Second Company.

Company Commander Gu Xiangdi did not have the habit of indulging these Japanese troops.

On the contrary, he loudly ordered: "Brothers! The opportunity to practice bayonet fighting has arrived! Charge up!

"Kill!"

The Second Company had blocked as many as 400 Japanese troops at this time, which was twice as many as the Second Company.

The Second Company of the Third Regiment fought with the Japanese troops.

The Second Company of the Fourth Regiment also chased down from the city wall under the leadership of Company Commander Pu Liangce.

The Japanese troops who were surrounded, although they fought desperately.

But they could not break through the encirclement of the Special Operations Brigade.

Hundreds of Japanese troops fell to the ground one after another.

In the north of the city, Lin Fan received a report from the Sixth Company of the Fourth Regiment.

Lin Fan was also a bit of a headache about this matter:

In his heart, only dead Japanese troops were good Japanese troops.

Of course, Lin Fan wanted to accept the doctors and nurses in this field hospital.

But if the Special Operations Brigade was still saddled with hundreds of wounded Japanese soldiers.

Lin Fan would rather not!

He came to the field hospital set up by the Japanese troops in the county.

Looking at these Japanese troops, Lin Fan asked in a cold voice:

"What kind of cooperation are you talking about?"

The director of this field hospital, Motojin Ryota, also said coldly:

"Although you have occupied Deqing, the warriors of the Empire will soon fight back.

"We only hope that you will act in accordance with the Geneva Convention.

"Prisoners of war also have human rights, and you should still allow my wounded soldiers to enjoy basic humanitarianism."

Lin Fan looked at the Japanese who could speak Northeastern dialect and said with a sneer:

"Your 18th Division has entered Nanjing, right! In Nanjing, did you do anything in accordance with the Geneva Convention?

"Openly plundering the property of ordinary people, killing ordinary people. Forcing women, killing people for no reason.

"Killing prisoners and digging up graves!

"What is there that you have not violated the Geneva Convention?"

Director Motojin Ryota was shocked: "How did you know?"

Lin Fan sneered: "If you don't want anyone to know, don't do it!

"What you did in Nanjing, even animals can't do.

"Animals hunt prey only to fill their stomachs, but you kill innocent people and prisoners only to satisfy your perverted killing psychology.

"Give me a reason, a reason that I can accept.
