Chapter 174: The Destruction of the Matsushita Battalion
By the time the Panasonic Battalion finally rushed into the battlefield, panting.
All we could see was Fang Ximen’s Imperial Army “hunting down” the Eighth Route Army all over the mountains and plains.
And the soldiers carrying the disassembled Type 92 infantry guns.
The Fourth Regiment, which was chasing Fang Ximen, was "striving" to advance into the mountains.
On the distant hillside, soldiers of the Eighth Route Army kept being "shot" and falling to the ground.
Those Imperial Army soldiers were extremely brave and their bayonet skills were no less impressive.
It can be seen that people on both sides are constantly being stabbed by bayonets.
This tragic scene made Major Matsushita's adrenaline surge.
He licked his lips, which were cracked by the cold wind from northwest Shanxi.
Matsushita drew the command knife from his waist and pointed it in the direction of the Eighth Route Army's defeat.
"Kill!" With his loud roar, the Japanese soldiers of Matsushita Battalion ran towards the center of the minefield.
At this time, Major Matsushita was already blinded by the excitement of the victory that was about to be within his grasp.
As long as he lowered his head and took a look, he would be able to discover the flaw revealed by Fang Ximen.
They were Fang Ximen and Wu Changfeng. The fight was quite lively, but there was not a single body of the Imperial Army on the ground.
On the mountain, according to Fang Ximen's intention, from a distance, the fight was quite lively.
It’s a pity that Fang Ximen’s Imperial Army had never done such a thing, and they almost got into trouble during the fighting.
Either there were people laughing, or some people were too rough to handle the situation.
This caused the soldiers of the Second Battalion of the New First Regiment to curse loudly while trying their best to resist.
The people at the foot of the mountain looked up and didn't see anything wrong.
At this time, Wu Changfeng and Fang Ximen had already entered the command center, preparing for the next battle.
As soon as I entered the headquarters, I saw an Eighth Route Army soldier eating a meat-wrapped pancake with relish.
And under his feet was an empty iron beef can.
Wu Changfeng looked at the man's back and was stunned. He felt that the man looked a little familiar.
Fang Ximen, who was following behind, saw that the food for the Eighth Route Army was quite good, and they even had beef wrapped in pancakes.
You should know that when the Imperial Army was in Hebei, they also ate steamed corn bread.
It’s just that a little bit of white flour is added to the steamed bread.
When you eat it, it can be softer and won’t make your throat hurt so much.
Wu Changfeng was stunned for a moment before he remembered who the person in front of him was.
He said in a low but excited voice: "Commander, when are you coming to Chenjiayu? Why didn't you tell me in advance?"
The commander did not turn around and watched the movements of the Matsushita Battalion.
He smiled and said, "If I had informed you in advance, would you still have allowed me to come and see you show off your prowess?"
Fang Ximen, who had been stationed in Hebei for a long time, still knew the organization of the Eighth Route Army.
The Eighth Route Army commander in front of him was able to make Wu Changfeng salute him.
Perhaps he is the commander of a certain military sub-district in the base in this area.
He thought that he might make a living under this commander in the future.
He immediately stood at attention and saluted the commander of the Eighth Route Army.
"Commander, I am Fang Ximen, commander of the 4th Regiment of the 15th Mixed Brigade of the Imperial Army. Please give me your instructions."
Unexpectedly, the three words "Imperial Army" scared the commander.
A mouthful of beef pancake got choked in his throat and he started coughing.
Wu Changfeng patted his back and reached out for a kettle.
Let the commander drink some water quickly so that he can swallow the beef.
Fang Ximen was still holding his hand up. It was not appropriate for him to continue holding his hand up, nor was it appropriate for him to put his hand down.
The commander of the Eighth Route Army finally calmed down.
He pointed at Fang Ximen and said to Wu Changfeng, "Xiao Wuzi, where did you get this, the head of the Imperial Army?"
Wu Changfeng smiled flatteringly and said, "Don't be afraid, Commander. This Captain Fang rebelled on the battlefield. He will be your servant from now on."
The commander said, "You want to put me in a bad light, don't you? Who am I to be afraid of me?"
Then he returned the salute to Simon Fang and introduced himself to him.
"I am the commander-in-chief of the 46th Army Group of the National Revolutionary Army, deputy commander-in-chief of the Second War Zone, and vice chairman of Gansu Province, Song Wenwan!"
Looking at Fang Ximen's open mouth that could fit three eggs at the same time, Song Wenwan was very satisfied with the deputy captain's reaction.
Fang Ximen's face suddenly turned red, and he rubbed his clothes vigorously with his hands.
Then he held Song Wenwan's hand tightly and shook it vigorously.
"So you are 'Song the Barber' who specializes in killing Japanese devils. Brother, I have always wanted to join you again.
Even though I am just trying to make a living in the Imperial Army, my brothers and I admire you very much.
There is still a deep connection between us.”
This sentence actually aroused Song Wenwan's interest. He asked, "Oh, what is the connection between us?"
At this moment, Fang Ximen saw his idol and spoke without thinking.
"Commander Song, your grandfather suppressed the Boxer Rebellion in Hebei."
Song Wenwan was stunned and asked, "So, you are a descendant of the Beiyang warlords?"
Fang Ximen said: "Commander Song, I am a descendant of the Boxers."
Song Wenwan: Boy, if it weren’t for the admiration for me in your eyes, I would want to kill you right now.
Do you know that my great-grandfather’s campaign against the Nian Army is a historical stain on me?
Now another descendant of the Boxer Rebellion has come forward and told us about what my grandfather did back then.
If you were to stab my heart with a knife, my life would be so miserable!
Just when Song Wenwan was thinking about how to deal with Fang Ximen.
A combat staff officer in the headquarters said: "Commander, Deputy Commander Wu, the Japanese have entered our ambush circle."
Upon hearing that the Japanese had arrived, Song Wenwan, Wu Changfeng and others had already come to the edge of the bunker and looked down.
These little Japanese devils, like a group of wild dogs, finally found their prey.
They just wanted to pounce on it and bite it without any care to satisfy their appetite.
What they didn't expect was that these little Japanese devils have now turned from hunters into prey.
When Major Matsushita ran to the middle, he had already woken up from his frenzied state.
He suddenly stopped because he had just figured out a problem.
There was a problem in this place, which he just discovered.
That is, this is the first scene where the Imperial Army was ambushed, but why are their bodies not found?
It's a pity that when he thought of this problem, it was too late.
His Matsushita Battalion had already entered the encirclement of the Eighth Route Army.
"Boom boom boom boom...", a large number of Broadsword mines exploded within the encirclement.
Countless steel balls were fired indiscriminately at the Japanese soldiers in the encirclement.
Then, when the Japanese soldiers lay down to avoid the explosion, the explosive packs buried underground were detonated.
The cunning Major Matsushita first hid in a stirrup and then hid on the other side of the warhorse.
The outside of the warhorse was riddled with seven or eight bloody holes caused by the steel balls.
The warhorse did not die immediately, but continued to rush forward with Major Matsushita.
As a result, as soon as he rushed out of the minefield, he was knocked over and flew away with his horse by the huge shock wave from behind.
