    Suwon Shigei arrived at the Kidnapping Bay battlefield at eight o'clock in the morning on November 1. When he arrived, a large number of Japanese troops were still collecting the bodies of the fallen. Although many people had been transported away, there were still many people on the battlefield.  There were quite a few bodies.

    After seeing the scene on the battlefield, Mizuhara Shigei was extremely shocked. There were corpses everywhere in the small area. Many corpses were neatly piled together like cargo. Most of the soldiers' clothes were  It was pulled away, leaving only the unique Japanese diaper-like crotch cloth.

    The blood flowing from the corpses dyed the depression at the foot of the mountain red. There were pools of blood everywhere on the hillside. The smell of blood could be smelled from a long distance away.

    Such a strong smell of blood is most likely to attract scavengers. A large number of crows and hawks fly over in the sky from time to time. Occasionally they fly down to grab a piece of meat or two, and then quickly evacuate.

    Mizuhara Shigeyoshi found the body of Colonel Shinozuka Kunigoro on one side of the corpse pile. Shinozuka Kunigoro's neck was pierced by a sharp blade, and his entire neck was almost severed. Not a single piece of the majestic Colonel's military uniform was left.  Naked and naked.

    ¡°In addition, there were two bullet holes in his chest and abdomen. Judging from the wounds, he should have been shot from the front. The gun used by the other party should be a Mauser pistol.

    There were many soldiers killed like this on the entire battlefield. Apparently, they were suddenly attacked by a pistol team during frontal combat. Most of the soldiers did not react, and in the end they were blamed.

    Mizuhara Shigeyoshi and Shinozuka Kunigoro have known each other for a long time, but their development opportunities are different. Mizuhara Shigeyoshi has attended a military academy, and there are people above him, so his promotion is smooth, although his command level is not  Very high, but he was promoted to Army Major General three years ago. However, Shinozuka Kunigoro is still a captain of the Colonel Corps and is working hard to be promoted to Major General.

    Looking at this friend who was often looked down upon in the military, Mizuhara Shigeyoshi's heart surged.  He knew that Shinozuka Kunigoro's greatest wish in his life was to become a general of the Empire of Japan, even a major general.

    However, after working hard for the country all his life, he still failed to achieve this long-cherished wish, and even lost his life here!

    The only good thing is that the Empire of Japan has a complete pension system, the most important of which is the posthumous special promotion system. As long as the imperial soldiers who die on the battlefield will be promoted to a first-level military rank after their death, they will be promoted according to the level after promotion.  Pensions to dependents.

    At present, Shinozuka Kunigoro is the captain of the Osaka Regiment. After special promotion, he will be the rank of major general. Therefore, when he is sent to Kudanwa Shrine, he will be buried with the courtesy of a general and receive enshrinement!

    From a certain point of view, Shinozuka Kunigoro can be regarded as a man of virtue!

    It¡¯s just that after Shinozuka Kunigoro was killed in battle, the mess on the Shantei front line could only be left to him to clean up!

    Others don't know the character of Shinozuka Kunigoro, but Mizuhara Shigeyoshi knows it clearly. Although Shinozuka Kunigoro is only a captain, he joined the army a few years earlier than him, and this guy climbed up from the grassroots level.  He is familiar with various tactics. In terms of command level, there may not be many in the entire front army who can compete with him.

    Moreover, Shinozuka Kunigoro is still a first-class warrior on the battlefield. The soldiers he trained once had a confrontation with the always arrogant Kwantung Army. The result was that with the same strength, one of his field squadrons completely defeated the Kwantung Army.  That squadron of the army.

    Mizuhara Shigeyoshi never imagined that Shinozuka Kunigoro and the elite troops he had personally trained would fall in Shanting, a little-known town, and they would be completely wiped out in this humble ravine.

    This visual and spiritual impact was so great that Shigei Mizuhara couldn¡¯t believe it.

    However, the white corpses in front of them and the land dyed red with blood reminded Suwon Shigei that all this was real. The 212th of the 32nd Division was completely wiped out in one night by the Eighth Route Army they had always looked down on.  No one in the entire regiment survived.

    In comparison, although his independent mixed seventh brigade is a brigade-sized unit in terms of organization, it is not a field unit. Its main task is second-line defense tasks. In terms of overall combat effectiveness, it is inferior to that of Shinozuka Kunigoro.  There is more than one thing to do.

    More importantly, when they went south from Huimin this time, they only brought four infantry brigades and a small number of technical troops, with a total strength of less than 4,000 people. However, because the communication line going south from Jining was destroyed, large vehicles  Neither the artillery nor the artillery could be carried. In desperation, Suwon Shigei could only leave the artillery unit and transport team in Jining.

    In this way, heIn fact, only more than 3,500 people were brought to the front line of Shanting, and there were not many artillery, and ammunition and supplies were seriously insufficient. Can such an army really fight against the army in front of them? Suwon  Chongyi himself felt at a loss!

    The only thing that allowed Mizuhara Shigeyoshi to remain calm was that judging from the situation at the scene, Shinozuka Kunigoro's troops should have engaged in a huge hand-to-hand battle with the opponent before being annihilated.

    Based on his understanding of the combat effectiveness of the imperial soldiers, although this hand-to-hand battle ended with the Imperial Japanese Army being completely annihilated, Zhi/that person would definitely not be able to please him. The imperial army lost more than 3,000 people here. Zhi/  There will only be more on that person's side.

    Looking at it this way, the army on the opposite side may have been almost exhausted. Otherwise, Mizuhara Shigei felt that he might not have the courage to continue advancing.

    Suwon Shigei¡¯s judgment was correct. After the battle, Zhang Tengjiao immediately ordered the troops to treat the wounded and count the casualties. When the troops finished cleaning the battlefield, the casualty statistics were also released.

    After seeing the casualty statistics handed over by the combat staff, Zhang Tengjiao almost suffocated!

    In this battle, they suffered a total of 2,689 killed and 3,124 injured, with a total of 5,813 casualties. At this time, there were less than 3,000 troops capable of fighting.

    You must know that the total number of troops in the First Column is more than 5,000. If we only look at the strength of the First Column, they will have perished together with the Japs after this battle.

    Fortunately, Li Guoyao knew that Zhang Tengjiao was under great pressure, so he ordered Xie Baojun's second column to send them a lot of reinforcements, but even so, these 3,000 men alone could not last more than a few days.

    The only good news is that they completely wiped out the Shinozuka Regiment this time and seized a large number of weapons and ammunition, including more than 40 light and heavy machine guns alone. These weapons have now been supplemented by Zhang Tengjiao to the front-line troops.

    With this batch of weapons and equipment, Yizong's equipment situation is stronger than before. This is the only advantage of Zhang Tengjiao's department at present.

    As for whether he can hold on to the commander's side and make a triumphant return, Zhang Tengjiao can only say that he will try his best!

    However, after such a big incident happened, and the troop casualties were so serious, Zhang Tengjiao did not dare to neglect, and sent a report to Li Guoyao as soon as the casualties were counted!

    Zhang Tengjiao didn't know it at this time, but less than two hours after they withdrew from the battlefield, Japanese reinforcements arrived, and this time it was an infantry brigade, which completely exceeded his troops in terms of strength and other aspects.  A more ferocious battle is waiting for them.  (Remember the website address: www.hlnovel.com
