Chapter 179 Wu Fatian's reinforcements have arrived
These Imperial Army soldiers should suffer some of the punishment they deserve. It's because they are unwilling to believe that retribution will come so quickly.
When Battalion Commander Zhong was about to retreat back to the mountain, he was stopped by an Eighth Route Army soldier.
"Report to the battalion commander, there is a soldier from the Imperial Army here, and he insists on joining our Eighth Route Army."
Captain Zhong said, "Didn't we say that we won't take any prisoners until the battle is over?"
Suddenly a voice came from behind the soldier. It was the wounded soldier of the Imperial Army.
"Sir, I'm not captured, I'm...
Oh no, I am revolting on the battlefield, you can’t treat me as a prisoner.”
Captain Zhong: "Oh, you are the only one who rebelled on the battlefield, you know a lot.
Tell me, what is the reason for you to revolt on the battlefield? "
The man said, "Sir, I have made great contributions."
Captain Zhong laughed again and said, "I can't believe you have come up with so many new terms.
Tell me, what meritorious service have you performed?"
The man said, "I killed the Japanese squadron leader, Captain Watanabe, with my own hands."
Captain Zhong said, "Captain Watanabe, which one is it?"
The man quickly brought Captain Zhong to the body of the Japanese soldier.
The man pointed at a Japanese officer lying on the ground with footprints all over his body.
"This man is the Japanese squadron leader, Captain Watanabe. I killed him during the chaos."
Captain Zhong looked at Watanabe's body and found two wounds caused by shrapnel, but they were not fatal.
The person who caused the final damage should be Watanabe, who was trampled to death by many people.
Seeing Captain Zhong looking at him, the man pointed proudly at Watanabe's neck and lower body.
He said, "Sir, I stepped on this and this place. If you don't believe me, just look."
After saying that, he took off his shoes and let Captain Zhong and the others look at the soles of his shoes.
Captain Zhong took a closer look and compared the shoe prints with those on Watanabe's body, and they really matched.
Captain Zhong looked back at the man and saw that he was hunching his neck and wearing a dog-skin hat on his head.
With his hands tucked into his sleeves, his little eyes were smiling, and he looked extremely harmless.
Just when Captain Zhong was about to ask again, an observation post suddenly came running over to report.
"Report to the battalion commander. According to our observations, a large number of reinforcements have arrived behind the 15th Mixed Brigade of the Imperial Army."
Captain Zhong: "Did you see clearly? Who are they?"
The observation post said: "There are three waves of people in total. The first wave should be the Imperial Army, with about two thousand people.
Following behind should be the Japanese soldiers, about 800 of them, which should be the size of a battalion.
When Captain Zhong heard that the Japanese reinforcements had arrived, he immediately assembled his troops and retreated to the trenches behind.
As for the Imperial Army that "rebelled on the battlefield", Captain Zhong asked his men to keep an eye on him and interrogate him after the battle.
Then he asked the soldiers to reinforce the position while calling Li Yunlong to report the emergency situation here.
Wu Fatian here was already in a state of panic. Captain Watanabe was killed and Li's body was not even retrieved.
But Wu Fatian is still alive and well, and this is his sin.
You told him to continue attacking the Eighth Route Army, but he really doesn't have the courage to do so.
He finally realized that the Eighth Route Army on the mountain were too unkind.
Just now they were showing weakness, waiting for me to be careless so that they could kill me.
He had already counted the Eighth Route Army soldiers on the mountain, and found that there were only about a thousand of them at most.
But they had more than ten heavy machine guns and more than thirty grenade launchers.
Even if the Central Army was stationed here, there wouldn't be such a grand display!
This is the Eighth Route Army in the side position. If it were the main force of the Eighth Route Army in the main position, there would be no way for them to survive.
He now has only two options. One is to wait for Fang Ximen to come back to support him.
The Eighth Route Army helped him conquer Kurumu Ridge, but this road seemed blocked.
If Fang Ximen came to question him why he killed Lu Dagui, he would really be speechless.
The second is to wait for the main force of Division Commander Inoue to come and support him.
But he was more afraid that after Inoue came, he would mercilessly punish him by military law.
As for that, let him organize his troops and attack Kurumu Ridge again.
Forget it. The mortars have been lost, and another 1,500 people died in the battle.
He now has a full army under his command, including an Imperial Army of about 4,000 people.
However, the gun ownership rate in his troops was slightly better than that of the National Army, but not much better.
There are less than 3,000 Imperial Army soldiers with guns now, and they would not dare to attack again even if they were beaten to death.
It was fortunate that the Eighth Route Army did not continue to chase him, otherwise his 4,000 men would probably have been slaughtered by the Eighth Route Army.
Captain Zhong: Oh my god! If I knew that all of you in the Imperial Army were such cowards.
I could have taken you all in with just one dive.
If Captain Li knew about this, he would definitely punish me and send me to do logistics.
Wu Fatian was just worrying when suddenly a sentry came over to report.
"Report to Brigade Commander Wu, there are several troops coming towards us."
After hearing this, Wu Fatian was horrified and stood up from the ground.
He asked the sentry, "Whose troops are coming?"
The sentry replied: "Commander, I have seen that the ones coming up are the main force of the Fourth Regiment led by Commander Fang Ximen.
Following behind should be the Imperial Army of Matsushita Battalion."
Wu Fatian was immediately excited when he heard this, because this was his Fourth Regiment coming back to support him.
As long as his brother Fang came back, he would not be afraid of the Eighth Route Army on Kurumiling.
Don't forget that the main force of his Fourth Regiment also includes an artillery company.
With those two Type 92 infantry guns to support us, we can attack even if we cannot.
At least we have to get Watanabe's body back, so that we can have a chance to save our own lives.
Fang Ximen's Fourth Regiment suddenly stopped when it was about 500 meters away from him.
Then the Fourth Regiment at the west gate of the house in front made way.
The Panasonic Brigade following behind quickly passed Fang Ximen and ran towards this side.
When they were 200 meters away from the mixed brigade, the Japanese army stopped.
Only Fang Ximen was seen walking over alone and slowly coming in front of Wu Fatian.
Fang Ximen said expressionlessly: "Brigade Commander Wu, the Imperial Army wants to see you and ask about the situation on the battlefield. Please come with me."
Wu Fatian originally wanted to explain to Fang Ximen, but he didn't expect the other party to not give him any chance.
Wu Fatian was unsure at this time, not knowing whether this trip would be a good or bad outcome.
Only now did he remember how good Lu Da Kui was. If Da Kui was with him now, his safety would definitely be guaranteed.
Seeing Fang Ximen walking back slowly, he gritted his teeth and followed him.
When they came to the Japs' team, the Japanese put away their guns.
They, together with the Fourth Regiment of the Imperial Army behind them, walked towards the Imperial Army outside Qijiayu.
When the Imperial Army in Qijiayu saw the Japanese opposite them, they stood up all the light and heavy machine gunners from the ground.
The three rifles in their hands had no bayonets, and they just walked towards them normally.
The Imperial Army finally breathed a sigh of relief, as it seemed the misunderstanding was resolved.
They put up their rifles and began to form a team, anticipating that when the brigade commander returned, they would attack the Eighth Route Army again.
