Chapter 98 Blue Blood Elegy 3

Zhan Yang knew that if the attack and response troops were smooth, the artillery would never carry out intensive covering fire. This gunfire was clearly cut off for the attack force, which meant that the reinforcements could not reach Chengde and were blocked, and even trapped or even the whole army was destroyed? That is to say, it is likely that the reinforcements of the Japanese army have also reached the periphery of Chengde? Zhan Yang inadvertently took a breath, and he was afraid of his own idea.

At dawn, the last few surviving wounded soldiers of the 106th Division detonated a box of grenades, and more than a dozen Japanese soldiers made very ideal funeral goods! I'm going to pull a cushion when I'm dying! In the end, the ferocious expression of the Chinese soldier shuddered almost all the Japanese soldiers.

Japanese soldiers walked carefully among the corpses all over the mountains, looking for their own wounded, and wereware of the counterattack of those Chinese soldiers who were not yet dead. On this night, both sides were red-eyed. In the dark night, the wounded Chinese soldiers lay quietly on the ground with explosive bags or bundles of grenades, waiting for the Japanese army. The attacking troops sounded as soon as they passed by. This was a battle without surrender and no prisoners.

The fierce battle all night made the 4th Infantry Brigade and the 36th Brigade, which were surrounded by the Japanese Army, suffered heavy losses. Xi Yiyi, who was blue-faced, visited the battlefield of the fierce battle last night accompanied by the two brigade commanders, Suzuki Meitong and Kawahara Kan. Suzuki Meitong carefully followed Xiyi and gave an anxious advice: "Master Your Excellency, the battlefield has not been completely cleaned, and there are probably injured soldiers. You can't go up!"

Suzuki Meitong's concern is very reasonable. Since he began to clean the battlefield at six o'clock in the morning, at least a hundred officers and soldiers have fallen! Shooting, suicide-name meat bomb attacks, and the attack methods of Chinese wounded soldiers emerged one after another. Looking at the soldiers who planned to fight the battlefield tremblingly shooting at the corpses first, Suzuki Meitong shook his head helplessly.

He climbed a hill and looked down at the whole battlefield. For a moment, Xiyi was stunned. Within a few square kilometers, there were almost layers of corpses. There were traces of struggle and broken weapon parts scattered on the ground. A rock not far away seemed to be full of black marks. General moss? Dozens of Japanese soldiers fell nearby in different forms.

As soon as Xiyi approached and touched it, he knew that it was condensation of black blood! And those mossy things turned out to be the flesh and blood viscera that were blown into dregs? Most of the corpses all over the battlefield still remained the appearance of the battle, and many of the corpses that were frozen stiff were entangled together.

Xiyi looked at more than a dozen soldiers trying to separate the two bodies hugging and fighting together. The two bodies were tightly as if they were stuck together? They still opened their eyes angrily with each other's bayonet in their chests! Huddle like a brother? Different military uniforms proved their different identities, and a Japanese soldier found an axe to forcibly separate the bodies.

"Don't move! Bury them together! It seems that the sea of corpses and blood is not unique to my imperial army!" Xi Yiyi's words stunned the soldiers below.

"Hi! It's Your Excellency!" A military sergeant hurriedly saluted, and then cut off a small finger of the deceased, which was regarded as a triumphant!

Xi Yi took a deep breath and asked in a slightly trembling voice, "How are the casualties of the troops?"

When the division commander questioned the casualties, Suzuki Meitong and Kawahara Kan's heart thumped, but this was inevitable sooner or later. After the two looked at each other, the two sides nodded to Xiyi and his entourage: "I'm sorry, sir, due to the tenacious resistance of [***], our army killed more than 4,000 officers and soldiers, more than 2,200. The number of minor and seriously injured people in the annihilation was almost more than 6,000 people, but fortunately it was a total annihilation!"

As soon as Xiyi heard that the casualties were almost 1:1, he looked up to the sky and sighed: "A quarter of the casualties! If there are two more victories like this, I'm afraid none of us will be able to return to Japan! If I had known, we would have let them into Chengde to besiege and anniied them!"

"Oh? Do you know the number and commander of this team? Xi Yiyi suddenly remembered a very important question.

Kawahara nodded his head blankly and said, "Last night, the fierce battle reached the last minute, and the besieged middle [***] sent a clear telegram. They were the 106th Division of the Northeast Army, and the division commander's name was Shen Ke!"

Kawahara Kan took out the translated telegram manuscript from his pocket and handed it over with both hands. Xiyi took the telegram manuscript and read it on one side and only said four words.

Suddenly, a major staff officer ran over quickly, saluted and said, "Your Excellency, we have found the body of the big man in the middle of [***]!"

"Oh! Hurry up and take me to have a look!" As soon as Xiyi walked down the hill, Suzuki Meitong hurriedly greeted the soldiers next to him and said, "Your Excellency, commander of the protection division!"

The soldiers of the Japanese army lined up on both sides of Xiyi and walked among the corpses everywhere. Everyone would be shocked by this extraordinary tragedy. Xiyi looked at the expressions of the officers and soldiers marching on both sides. He deeply knew that at this moment, compared with the imperial army in China [***], It can only be regarded as well-equipped and well-trained. Last night's fierce battle has proved that the so-called samurai spirit is invincible. Only the other party has the determination to die, which will also make the imperial army pay unimaginable huge casualties.

Soon, near a small depression, the soldiers of the two armies were tired of abandoning their corpses. What kind of fierce battle broke out here? No one can tell Xi Yiyi, because all the pieces of the Hayakawa brigade that participated in the Bai Bing assault were broken here. Among the many corpses, the bodies of more than a dozen Chinese officers and soldiers were turned in one direction. Xi Yiyi could see who they seemed to be protecting?

After ordering the soldiers to lift the bodies, Xiyi came to the body in military uniform in person, squatted down and wiped the triangular Venus on his collar with his hand? Obviously, the major commander is the top commander of the first-level unit of the middle [***] division, so the body that was killed and protected by his subordinates is likely to be Shen Ke, the division commander of the 106th division of the middle [***]. Xi Yiyi is very helpless. They didn't catch a prisoner? There was not even a wounded person, so naturally he could not identify his real identity. Xiyi opened the pocket of the body's coat and found a letter soaked in blood and seemed to have an address?

Xi Yiyi handed the letter to the translator of a Jing'an army accompanying him. The translator had long been scared by the fierce battle and trembled. He took a look at the letter tremblingly and hurriedly translated it in Japanese: "Mr. Master, this is the middle [***] Shen Ke, the commander of the 106th Division, this is his last letter to Peiping's wife and children, and there is an address below.

Xi Yi took out Shen Ke's pen and pocket watch with him and gave it to Jing'an Army with the letter, saying, "According to that address, mail the letter to Peiping and order to prepare a coffin. Even if he is the enemy, the warrior is respectable!"

Xiyi slowly took off his military hat, stood upright with his legs, and bowed to Shen Ke's body! The officers and soldiers on the side stood in mourning, and the Han annipers of the Jing'an Army stood in place for a long time!
