Chapter 144 Reactions from all parties
Zheng Xian was speechless after hearing Hu Mengyan's words. His hair was damaged the night before while he was waiting for Bai Luo.
Now, no one knows where Bai Luoren has gone.
Thinking of this, Zheng Xian shook his head helplessly at Hu Mengyan.
"I haven't seen that little brat since he slipped away at the town entrance yesterday morning. I have no idea where he's gone."
Zheng paused for a moment and then continued.
"But don't worry, Xiao Luo should be fine. That kid is very capable. Ordinary people can't handle him."
Upon hearing Zheng Xian's words, Hu Mengyan knew that Bai Luo had disappeared again. Although she knew that Bai Luo was very capable, she couldn't help but feel worried.
After all that happened last night, things are in a lot of chaos outside.
She was also affected, and it's estimated that she'll have to find another place to use as a contact point tonight.
Thinking of this, Hu Mengyan told Zheng Xian about changing the contact point.
Upon hearing this, Zheng Xian also felt it was very necessary. He had heard rumors that the Blue Party might take this opportunity to retake Zhengzhou, and once the Blue Party started to retake Zhengzhou, it would definitely not be safe here.
After agreeing on the contact information for the new location with Hu Mengyan, Zheng Xian immediately turned around and left.
Before he came to Hu Mengyan's place, he received orders to immediately go to the Blue Party Intelligence Department in Yang City.
Meanwhile, in Yang City, Okamoto Ichito withdrew all the remaining Japanese soldiers back to Zheng City, preparing to defend Zheng City with all his might.
The KMT has now advanced its front lines to various major transportation routes near Zhengzhou.
It was clear that they wanted to press their advantage and launch a counterattack on Zhengzhou while the Japanese were short of ammunition.
At this moment, inside the Japanese garrison in Zhengzhou, Okamoto Kazuto had just finished deploying the defensive positions on the western city wall of Zhengzhou and returned to the command post, where he was sitting down to rest with a cup of tea.
When a Japanese major saw Okamoto Ichito return, he immediately jogged into the command post and stood in front of Okamoto Ichito.
"Your Excellency Division Commander, urgent telegram from headquarters."
As the Japanese major spoke, he handed a telegram to Okamoto Kazuto with both hands.
Upon hearing the telegram from headquarters, Okamoto Kazuto didn't even bother to drink water. He put aside the tea he hadn't had time to drink and quickly took the document handed to him by the Japanese major and opened it immediately.
After carefully reading the above content, Okamoto Kazuto slowly let out a breath.
Despite the heavy losses suffered by the tank division, he was not punished. On the contrary, the General Headquarters appointed him to replace Okamura and make him the supreme commander of all the troops in Zheng City.
The telegram essentially stated that the battle headquarters in Yang City was aware of the situation.
Despite the heavy casualties, the tank division also suffered heavy losses.
However, the first objective has already been achieved. According to information sent by agents infiltrating the Blue Party, the heavy artillery unit has been completely wiped out.
Although the cost was high, the General Headquarters was still very satisfied with the results of this operation. After all, they had previously given Okamura an order to find and destroy this heavy artillery unit at all costs.
However, the death of Okamura, a veteran of many battles, was somewhat unexpected by the rear headquarters.
After discussion, the Japanese headquarters appointed Okamoto Ichito to replace Okamura Ichiichi in his previous position and to serve as the commander of Zheng City.
Moreover, the rear headquarters is already mobilizing supplies to rush to Zhengzhou.
The first batch of supplies and ammunition will arrive in Zhengzhou as early as tomorrow.
Okamoto Kazuto placed the telegram on the table to the side and picked up his water glass, thinking to himself.
This heavy artillery unit is indeed highly valued by headquarters.
They lost nearly half an infantry division for this, and even though the plan to attack Yang City failed and their headquarters was surrounded by the Yang City garrison, they showed no sign of reprimand.
Okamoto Ichito thought of the time when Yu Sui died in Gang Village, Gong County, and felt a pang of sadness.
Okamura was one of the Imperial generals whom Okamoto Ichito respected, but he never expected to stumble in such a small county as Gongxian.
The body has not been found so far.
Meanwhile, the Blue Party, after surveying the battlefield situation last night, was also deeply shocked and disappointed by the terrifying firepower output of this mysterious heavy artillery unit.
Shockingly, according to reports from the troops clearing the battlefield, judging from the shell craters on the battlefield, the unit fired at least 3 shells during last night's shelling.
Moreover, I heard from wounded Japanese soldiers captured on the main battlefield that...
This heavy artillery unit uses only unheard-of automatic cannons with a high rate of fire and a wide fire coverage.
In less than an hour, the Japanese tank division was decimated, with the wreckage of tanks and armored vehicles scattered throughout the battlefield, numbering over 200.
Gongxian was also razed to the ground, resulting in nearly 5000 Japanese casualties in Gongxian.
What pleased them most was learning from the captured Japanese soldiers in Gongxian that Gangcun had also died in a shelling attack in Gongxian.
Upon learning that Gangcun had also been killed in a bombing in Gongxian, the top leaders of the Blue Party were overjoyed.
It should be noted that the massacre that Gangcun committed in China was an outrage against both gods and men, and repeatedly caused heavy casualties to the Blue Party forces.
The Blue Party harbored a deep grudge against him and sought an opportunity to assassinate him, but each attempt ended in failure.
I never imagined I would die in a small county town.
This gave the KMT leadership a sense of unreality.
But after repeated verification, the news was finally confirmed.
Unfortunately, according to reports from the front-line troops, the mysterious heavy artillery unit from last night should have been completely wiped out.
Even if some people survived and escaped, judging from the battlefield situation, almost all of those powerful artillery pieces were destroyed here.
The position was littered with fragments of various artillery pieces. The ground had sunk more than a meter from the bombardment by the Japanese artillery, and the earthen slope that served as cover in front of it had now been turned into a depression.
But something strange happened to the Blue Party troops who were cleaning up the battlefield.
Apart from the numerous shell craters and the shattered remains of artillery pieces at the site of this mysterious artillery unit, not a single body could be found.
Ultimately, it can only be attributed to the fact that some survivors from the heavy artillery units carried away the bodies that hadn't been destroyed by the artillery fire.
But it's almost certain that this mysterious heavy artillery unit, which turned the city upside down, must have exhausted all its resources.
They will probably never see that heavy artillery unit unleash its earth-shattering roar at the Japanese again.
This caused some high-ranking members of the Blue Party who were genuinely committed to the war of resistance to some regret. At the same time, they secretly sent people to contact foreign intelligence agents to see where they could buy such artillery.
Bai Luo, who had slept all day, finally woke up in the evening.
After shaking off the fatigue of the past few days, Bai Luo quickly washed up.
After dinner, Bai Luo planned to go find Zheng Xian and ask him to let her aunt know that she was safe.
