Chapter 430: Capture Umezu Mijiro Alive(1/2)
Most of the people who fled Taiyuan due to the war chose to go south to Jincheng.
The merchants who came and went passed on all the beauties of Jincheng to the people of Taiyuan.
In the past, ordinary people had families and businesses, and as long as they could survive, no one would be so cruel as to leave their hometown.
When the war broke out in Taiyuan, they had to leave even if they didn't want to.
Although most of them went south, some people went to other directions to join their relatives.
"Miss, do you really plan to go to Niangziguan?"
Qianye and Qiao Youcheng were also in the fleeing team, one dressed as a rich lady and the other as a housekeeper.
After the airport was destroyed, Chiba followed clues to Yangquan and other places.
In a large-scale battle, it is difficult for her action team and special agent team to play a big role. It is better to focus on the intelligence work they are good at.
Therefore, even if Taiyuan was besieged, Qianye did not return to the city. She was tracking the aura of the hunter group all the way, and the Niangzi Pass was not far ahead.
There are people all around with their families, but the further east you go, the fewer people there are.
When she heard Qiao Youcheng's question, she paused in her steps.
The hunter brigade struggled all night and caused heavy losses to the Taiyuan Imperial Army. As the top person in charge of the Special High School in the Taiyuan area, Chiba undoubtedly has to bear a huge responsibility.
Looking at the rugged mountain road ahead, Chiba suddenly turned around and walked directly to the south.
Qiao Youcheng looked confused and hurriedly called for a few of his subordinates to follow him.
Mistakes can only be made up for with merit. Niangziguan is a battlefield, and Chiba has little room for display. She does not have the superb skills of an assassin, so naturally she cannot assassinate Jiangdong.
There is no chance in Niangziguan, but there are many opportunities in Jincheng and Lu'an in the south.
She wants to pay back ten times the losses Jiang Dong caused to the imperial army.
As long as she does this, her past responsibilities and mistakes will be wiped out.
Thinking of this, her steps became a little brisker.
…
…
Few Japanese soldiers in the Taiyuan area would remember that there is a lieutenant general commander in the city.
As the war intensified, everyone's attention was focused on the battlefield, and Umezu Yoshijiro and his headquarters seemed to be forgotten.
The Japanese army abides by the law of the jungle, the weak eats the strong, and the capable are promoted and the mediocre are demoted.
Once you make an unforgivable mistake, the comrades around you will be more terrifying than your enemies.
Since Umezu Yoshijiro was deprived of his command, some friends who were close to him have also lost contact. Everyone avoids him like the god of plague.
The battle in Shanxi has been going on for so long, but no one has asked Umezu Yoshijiro for his advice on the battlefield.
If it weren't for his chief of staff, Kushibuchi Soichi, who was loyal and fearful of death, Umezu Yoshijiro might have had a caesarean section to apologize.
But sometimes life is so wonderful. When you are discouraged, God shines another ray of warm sunshine on your face.
The two regiment captains were blown to pieces by Chinese heavy artillery, and almost all the important officers were buried with them.
In desperation, several captains had no choice but to "respectfully invite" Umezu Yoshijiro to come out and take charge of the overall situation.
Power is an addictive thing, and once you've had it, it's hard to quit.
At first, Umezu Yoshijiro pretended to refuse, but soon Sugiyama Gen's telegram was sent from Peiping.
In order to prevent the supreme commander from being attacked by the Chinese again, the Japanese picked up Umezu Yoshijiro from the dilapidated headquarters and escorted him to an absolutely safe location.
There used to be a sign for the Bureau of Mineral Exploration hanging here, but due to the heavy artillery fire, all the surface buildings have been damaged.
Under the leadership of several grassroots officers, Umezu Meijiro entered an underground world.
The underground space was much larger than he imagined, and there were some strange and strange instruments piled messily around it.
"What is this place?"
Umezu Yoshijiro frowned. It is impossible for the Mining Exploration Bureau to have such a vast underground space. What are those weird instruments used for?
Kushibuchi Soichi is a considerate and good boy. He explained to Umezu Mijiro in a low voice as he walked.
It turns out that the Mining Exploration Bureau was just a cover, and this place was originally intended to be used for shady secret experiments.
Those messy instruments were just shipped from the Northeast not long ago.
Not long after this facility was built, the Chinese invaded Taiyuan before it could be put into formal use.
The original plan could only be shelved, but now it is used as a temporary headquarters for Umezu Yoshijiro.
There are already countless staff members busy in the underground world, with telephones, radios, combat maps, etc. all available.
The sound of artillery fire from outside became dull and weak when it came here, and the lights above the head flickered on and off.
After listening to the officers’ report, Umezu Yoshijiro said:
"Your tactics are very good these days. I'm not familiar with the whole situation yet. Everything remains the same. I'll tell you if there are new situations."
"Hiyi!"
The several captains were respectful and left the underground headquarters after speaking.
Umezu Yoshijiro replaced several major positions with his own people, preparing to show off his talents in this underground world that never saw the light of day.
His face was haggard and his hair was messy, but there was light shining in his eyes.
Accepting orders at a critical moment, a great responsibility from heaven!
Accompanied by a staff officer, he put on a neat military uniform and put a bright saber on his waist.
Seeing the Lieutenant General repeating his past style, the Japanese who had been following him were very happy and full of energy for a while.
…
…
"Look, there are several assistant officers."
Chen Sancai hid behind the ruins, pointed forward and said to Deng Shouzhong.
"Damn, this is really the headquarters of the little devil. If I can really catch a lieutenant general, my life will be worth it."
Deng Shouzhong seemed eager to try.
Chen Sancai curled his lips, a lieutenant general was worth it, he was looking down on himself too much.
There was gunfire from all directions, and comrades from the 165th Division and the newly formed 27th Division were helping them attract the attention of the little Japs.
The two discussed in low voices for a while, and finally decided to leave one company behind to support them, while the rest attacked as fast as possible.
Before the final move, Deng Shouzhong whispered to everyone:
"Remember it all for me. If you live for 100,000 yuan, if you die for 50,000 yuan, you can weigh it yourself."
Seeing the reporter from the Central Daily News shivering, Deng Shouzhong grabbed two soldiers and ordered:
"You two go and protect him. This kid is our treasure. If he is still alive after the battle, I will give you 5 yuan each."
If anything happens to this kid, just wipe your necks yourself."
The two soldiers happily agreed. This kind of task was much more comfortable than going to the front to charge into battle.
After the explanation was completed, the death camp no longer hesitated. They all emerged from the ruins and rushed towards the Mining Exploration Bureau as quickly as possible.
Only half a squad of Japanese soldiers were responsible for guarding the surface.
The death camp suddenly appeared from beside them, and the Japanese soldiers had no time to pull the bolt of their guns, and the two sides engaged in hand-to-hand combat.
Deng Shouzhong rushed to the front, wielding the most common broadsword in the Chinese army.
"Pfft..."
The broadsword passed through the body, bringing out a large amount of flesh and blood, and the Japanese soldiers fell to the ground wailing.
More than 200 soldiers rushed from all directions and chopped down dozens of little Japs with three strokes.
There is a machine gun position at the entrance of the underground headquarters. There are two little Japs and a crooked gun in the position.
Seeing his colleagues falling to the ground one after another, the Japanese soldiers roared and pulled the trigger, regardless of whether they might accidentally injure one of their own.
"Da da da..."
The sound of machine guns suddenly rang in everyone's ears.
After the bullets fired from the crooked handle knocked down two more of them, they knocked down four more warriors holding swords.
The troops selected by Wang Jun to serve as a death camp must be of good strength. The moment the machine gun fired, everyone fell down on the spot or turned sideways to find cover.
"Hey..."
Chen Sancai unlatched the fuses of the two grenades and threw them sideways towards the machine gun position.
After two booms, the crooked handle went silent.
"The gun has been fired. Japanese reinforcements will be here soon. Everyone uses guns to resolve the battle. I and I will join!"
