Chapter 62: The Murderer Wei Jichen
"Wei Ying, this is the military flag of the 11th Regiment." Xiao Si waved the flag in his hand proudly without waiting for Wei Jichen to ask questions.
The military flag of the 11th Japanese Regiment made Wei Jichen feel happy.
The Japanese military flag. Wei Jichen, who came from a later generation, fully understood the status of the military flag in the hearts of the Japanese.
During the Japan-Soviet War, most of the organic wings of the 23rd Division and the 7th Division were completely annihilated, and the Japanese Army suffered its heaviest defeat since its formation.
Under such circumstances, the Japanese army is still preparing for a larger-scale fatal attack. Why?
It turned out that after the 64th Regiment and others were wiped out, the Eastern Army was worried about whether the military flag was completely burned and whether it fell into the hands of the enemy. After that, the Eastern Army mobilized the 2nd Division, the 4th Division and other directly affiliated troops in an attempt to launch a major counterattack. One of the main reasons was that the missing military flag was unknown.
Because a military flag triggered a war, do you think the military flag is important in the hearts of the Japanese?
The military flag is a supreme symbol. Once the Japanese military flag is captured by the enemy, even if the regiment still has remaining soldiers, most of them will be removed from the order of battle by the Japanese military headquarters.
Because the military flag was captured by the enemy, it was an unparalleled shame.
The Chinese army, which had been fighting the Japanese for so long, gradually understood the status of the military flag in the hearts of the Japanese, so Xiaosi shouted and was extremely happy.
Under normal circumstances, it is impossible to capture the Japanese military flag, because in critical moments, they will burn the military flag. In this way, the Japanese military flag will be difficult to capture by the enemy.
This time, the reason why Wei Jichen's troops were able to capture the military flag of the 11th Regiment was due to luck.
Wei Jichen took the military flag of the 11th Regiment with a smile, but stuffed it into his military boots randomly and shouted: "Brothers, this sneak attack has achieved a lot, but I, Wei Jichen, am not satisfied, because the friendly troops are just like us. They killed quite a few Japanese compared to us, are you satisfied?"
"Not satisfied!" Almost every one of the two hundred cavalrymen was injured, but they became more and more courageous as they fought, almost forgetting the pain on their bodies, because the desire to win continued to stimulate them. Since the beginning of the war, when had fighting been so enjoyable? Dripping?
"Well, now we have a great achievement waiting for us. The Japanese artillery brigade is not far from here. Now, let's go and deal with them." Wei Jichen raised his hand in high spirits.
Next to him, Ma Yucuo suddenly stepped forward and suggested: "Master Wei, how about we outwit him this time?"
Wei Jichen looked at him curiously, with an expression of attentiveness.
"Master Wei, the battlefield is quite chaotic now. The enemy troops are just running away, and the army has long been out of organization." Ma Yucuo pointed to the Japanese on the ground and continued: "Why don't we strip off these people's clothes, disguise themselves as Japanese, and then earn a lot of money?" The station of the Japanese artillery brigade.”
Wei Jichen's eyes lit up and he attached great importance to Ma Yucuo's suggestion. By now, the Japanese had already reacted. The defenders from all over the place were well prepared, and they would not have invaded the place where the Japanese slept before they reacted. situation.
If you and others attack the enemy's artillery position, even if you win in the end, sacrifice will be inevitable, and not many people will be able to stand up in the end.
However, after using Ma Yucuo's method, he can run into the enemy's position openly and then attack from both inside and outside, so there is no need to worry about the enemy being unable to break through.
"Master Ma, this plan is very clever. I will lead about forty soldiers to abandon their horses and flee into the Japanese camp in panic, while Master Ma, you will lead the remaining troops to chase behind, waiting for an opportunity to act." Wei Jichen agreed with Ma Yucuo with a smile. opinions.
Before Ma Yucu could raise any objections, he jumped off his horse and explained the plan to everyone. Then he selected some forty short soldiers and hurriedly changed into Japanese clothes.
Although it was a snowy night, it couldn't be compared with daytime. From a distance of more than ten meters, I could only see clearly the clothes on my body, but my face was blurry.
"Do you remember everything?" Not far from the Japanese artillery position, there was a small team crawling on the ground. The leader was Wei Jichen. They followed the road and soon found the enemy position.
"Remember, we just shout in Japanese that the Chinese are coming." Xiao Si said excitedly. As long as he stayed by Wei Jichen's side, he felt that he was filled with endless courage.
Wei Jichen was afraid that the Japanese would want to check carefully, so he asked the sergeant who knew Japanese to teach everyone a simple Japanese sentence: The Chinese are coming.
"Okay, let's go." Wei Jichen sent a signal to the back, and then led more than forty soldiers in Japanese military uniforms to run towards the artillery position in a panic.
The Artillery Brigade of the 10th Brigade was Wei Jichen's old enemy. Not only did their captain die in Wei Jichen's hands, but their proud cannons also lost most of their effectiveness under Wei Jichen's air raid shelter.
After the death of Masaki Saito, Ichiro Yanaggi was promoted instead of being demoted and became the actual commander of the artillery brigade.
At this moment, he was walking around anxiously in his room.
In the middle of the night, with no idea of the enemy's position, his cannon was simply a display. If it hadn't been for Nishidao's call for help last time, he really wouldn't have known which way to fire.
But the subsequent war made him even more depressed. Originally, he believed in the abilities of his soldiers and believed that after several rounds of artillery bombardment, the enemy troops attacking Caohe Ridge would be completely dead and wounded.
Who knew that not long after, the 11th Regiment that went to support Caoheling suddenly retreated because a large group of cavalry suddenly attacked from the side.
The cavalry came from there, which must be the Nie Shicheng troops that originally attacked Caoheling.
One after another, the defeated soldiers fled from the battlefield to his station, which made Yanagiya Ichiro even more at a loss, because according to the information he received, the enemy must have gone straight to the headquarters of Tachimi Naofumi.
Should he send troops to rescue or keep his troops in place? The reason why Yanagiya Ichiro hesitated was that he had not received orders from Tachimi Naofumi, and secondly, this was an artillery battalion, not an infantry battalion. The artillery battalion had a lot of baggage, and the soldiers were good at artillery, not shooting.
When Yanagiya Ichiro was hesitating and asked the soldiers to be on guard on the position, he heard a panicked shout from the other side of the position.
"The Chinese are coming, the Chinese are coming."
Yagi Ichiro looked around and saw that more than 40 of his own soldiers were like dogs that had lost their homes, running back in panic.
Yagi Ichiro sighed secretly, wondering when the soldiers of the empire had become like this, because there had been soldiers running back intermittently before, so Yangi Ichiro had no doubts.
The soldiers defending the position had the same idea as Yangi Ichiro. When they saw their own deserters running back, they all moved slightly to the sides to let these frightened fleeing soldiers run in.
Wei Jichen ran in the middle with his head half lowered. Seeing that he and others had indeed sneaked in without any danger, he couldn't help but smile.
More than 40 people quickly ran into the Japanese position. The Japanese defending the position were about to start checking, but the sound of horse hooves rang in the distance.
More than a hundred horses soon appeared in everyone's sight. The defending Japanese soldiers were attracted by the cavalry detachment and stared at the front nervously, ready for battle.
Yanagi Ichiro was no exception. His palms were sweaty as he looked at the enemy cavalry in the distance. It was said that Wei Jichen was involved in this sneak attack.
Wei Jichen's reputation had spread throughout the entire 10th Brigade. He was even more famous than Nie Shicheng. There were countless Japanese generals who died at the hands of Wei Jichen.
Yanagi Ichiro could not forget that he was almost killed by his ambush.
"Quick, quick, get ready for battle, adjust all parameters, and get ready to fire." Yanagi Ichiro stood behind the cannon and shouted at the top of his lungs.
The Japanese soldiers who heard his order naturally did not dare to neglect it. Although there were not many enemy cavalry, they showed their spirit.
Wei Jichen saw Ma Yumin leading the cavalry to attack, and he could not help but pull out his rifle and shouted: "Brothers, action!"
Bang bang bang.
The camouflage squad soldiers who had been prepared fell on the spot and shot from behind the Japanese.
All the Japanese who were shot in the back died with their eyes wide open. They didn't understand what happened until the moment before they died.
After Wei Jichen ran into the position, he stared at Yanagi Ichiro. Who made him wear an officer's uniform, hold a command knife, and give orders in a harsh voice?
Yanagi Ichiro was stunned by this sudden change, and even forgot to swing the command knife down.
When he saw Wei Jichen's face clearly, he couldn't help but screamed in horror: "You, you are Wei Jichen!"
Wei Jichen's hands did not stop, raised the gun, and pulled the board. Almost at the same time as Yanagi Ichiro screamed, he fired with a bang.
"It's useless for you to know me." Wei Jichen saw Yanagi Ichiro's action of preparing to escape suddenly stopped, and finally fell to the ground. He couldn't help but blow the smoke on the muzzle gently, and laughed and talked to himself.
The result of the battle was already doomed when Wei Jichen and others successfully mixed into the Japanese artillery position.
The gunshots behind him made the defending Japanese soldiers lose their footing and fall into complete chaos. They didn't know which direction to attack. The gunners who had not yet had time to fire quickly looked for cover on the spot after Yanagi Ichiro died, trying to resist stubbornly.
However, Wei Jichen and others deliberately ran to a small mound, and now, relying on the terrain, they continued to shoot and kill the Japanese below.
When the Japanese wanted to organize a larger offensive to suppress Wei Jichen, Ma Yumen led the cavalry to the front of the Japanese position.
The war horses were roaring, the long swords flew, and countless heads were thrown into the air. The Japanese in the artillery brigade were defeated by the internal and external attacks, and finally began to flee.
Wei Jichen led the army to clean up the battlefield a little. When he saw the Japanese cannons, he couldn't help but be overjoyed. The little devils fled in a hurry and didn't even have time to destroy the cannons, leaving them all to him.
An artillery battalion, more than ten blasting cannons, just like this, without any damage, completely fell into his hands.
But now he has no time to deal with these things, they are really useless, tasteless to eat, but a pity to throw away.
"Hide the cannon shells aside." Wei Jichen immediately thought of a plan. Now there are troops everywhere in the Caohekou area, but the decline of the Japanese is irreversible.
These places are estimated to return to the embrace of the Chinese by the evening of this day. Wei Jichen looked at the east, which was already turning white, and thought to himself that as long as these cannons are not damaged by the Japanese soldiers during this period of time, they will become our things.
More than a hundred soldiers followed Wei Jichen's instructions and found a place to bury the shells to prevent the defeated Japanese from blowing up the cannons.
Wei Jichen thought about it and felt that it was not safe. No one was guarding here. If the friendly army took the cannon as their trophy, even if they arrived at Nie Shicheng's gate, they would not be able to explain themselves.
So Wei Jichen turned over and got off his horse. He used his clothes to write a few bloody words on the mouth of each cannon: The murderer - Wei Jichen.
