Chapter 427 If you can’t take Anjiaji within one hour, withdraw and fight the Japanese reinforcement
In the interrogation room of the Special High Section in Ping'an County, Nakamura Ichiro took a whip dipped in salt water and whipped Xu Zhongyi hard, leaving blood marks on his clothes. Xu Zhongyi endured the pain, clenched his teeth tightly, and said nothing, relying entirely on willpower to hold on.
Ichiro Nakamura didn't expect Xu Zhongyi to be so tough. This made him feel like a clown. His rage grew stronger and stronger, and his blows became heavier and heavier. It looked like he wanted to beat Xu Zhongyi to death.
Xu Zhongyi stared at Ichiro Nakamura with vicious eyes, wishing he could eat his flesh and drink his blood. Even if he was beaten to death, he would never surrender to Ichiro Nakamura.
While the two were fighting, Guo Yaoxian walked in from outside. Seeing Xu Zhongyi's miserable face, he couldn't help but feel a little nervous inside, but his face didn't change at all. He bowed and reported to Nakamura Ichiro, "Mr. Nakamura, these are the confessions of the other people we just got. After our interrogation, the other people have confessed. Here are their confessions. I believe that with this confession, it won't matter whether Xu Zhongyi confesses or not. We have already grasped his biggest secret!"
Nakamura Ichiro took the confession handed over by Guo Yaoxian and read it carefully. After reading the contents, he couldn't help but praise: "Yoshi! Captain Guo, you did a great job on this matter. I will ask for credit for you! What you said just now is very true. Xu Zhongyi has lost his value. There is no need to keep him. You should kill him yourself!"
"Xu Zhongyi saved my life after all, and I don't want him to suffer more. This is my only way to repay him! Let's do it now, so as to avoid any more trouble. Hirata Kojiro has been keeping an eye on this matter. If it's too late, my lifesaver will probably be tortured alive. I really don't want to see that happen. After all, I am a kind-hearted person. If I see such a hell scene, I will have nightmares at night!"
Guo Yaoxian originally wanted to find an opportunity to rescue Xu Zhongyi, but the pressure from Ichiro Nakamura forced him to attack Xu Zhongyi now. He took the pistol out of the holster, opened the safety, and fired six shots at Xu Zhongyi. Xu Zhongyi closed his eyes before he shot, and there were six bloody holes on his upper body.
Nakamura Ichiro felt Xu Zhongyi's breath and confirmed that Xu Zhongyi had been killed. He then ordered Guo Yaoxian to bury Xu Zhongyi and left the interrogation room. Guo Yaoxian asked people to carry Xu Zhongyi's body out and dumped him in a mass grave. The three underground comrades who had been waiting for a long time immediately dragged Xu Zhongyi's body away. At the same time, they took the attitude of giving it their all and fed him a life-saving pill and injected him with a shot of penicillin, hoping that a miracle would happen.
An hour later, Xu Zhongyi's temperature did not drop, but he had a slight fever, which made Hua Tianxiong and others very excited. They immediately sent Xu Zhongyi out of Ping'an County through the tunnel. Li Yunlong, who was attacking Anjiaji, was surprised when he heard about this. He did not expect that the underground organization in Ping'an County actually rescued Xu Zhongyi. This really made him feel incredible.
"For safety reasons, I will immediately dispatch a transport plane to airlift Lao Xu back to the base. The three of you should not stay in Ping'an County any longer. Follow Lao Xu to the base immediately. In the days to come, you should not do anything else but take good care of Lao Xu until he recovers!"
"Xiao Zhongyuan, immediately activate the second code book and urgently contact the college students to have them dispatch a transport plane immediately. Don't forget to prepare medicines and doctors when they come. No matter what, you must ensure that Xu Zhongyi can arrive at the field hospital safely!"
Li Yunlong did not say much about this matter. He knew that Lin Zhenhua was never vague on major issues. As long as he explained the matter briefly, Lin Zhenhua would definitely understand the trick.
"Shen Quan, don't just stand there, attack immediately. We must take Anjiaji within an hour. If we can't take it, destroy it!"
This time, Li Yunlong was determined to take over Anjiaji. He was determined to destroy the training base of Yamamoto's special forces no matter how great the cost.
As soon as the attack occurred, Yamamoto Ikki ordered his troops to abandon Anjiaji and take trucks to retreat to the secret base. He had considered the air defense of the troops before and found a large number of anti-aircraft weapons. The moment he saw the fighter planes in the air, he ordered the anti-aircraft weapons deployed in Anjiaji to open fire immediately and never let the enemy planes in the air dive down!
"Mr. Inoue, your squadron must defend Anjiaji at all costs. I will leave most of the anti-aircraft weapons to you. As long as you can hold on for an hour, reinforcements from Ping'an County will arrive. As for the special forces, they have already begun to evacuate. The first battalion is still staying in the secret base, the second battalion has already begun to retreat, and the third battalion will leave half of its forces to help you guard Anjiaji!"
"I'll tell you again, I, Yamamoto Ikki, am not a deserter. In positional warfare, the special forces can't really show their true strength. I won't let them be wasted like ordinary soldiers. The Empire has spent a huge price to train 500 special forces warriors. They have been given an important mission. In another month, the North China Observation Group will arrive, and I will let them see real special operations!"
Inoue Heiichiro did not refute Yamamoto Ikki's statement. In fact, he had the same opinion that the most appropriate use of special forces is to fight behind enemy lines and decapitation operations. If it really comes to positional warfare, the combat effectiveness of special forces is basically not much stronger than that of ordinary troops. Using them to consume the enemy's ordinary soldiers is a very stupid behavior. Even if Yamamoto Ikki did not leave, he would persuade him.
"Mr. Inoue, Colonel Kuroki has already sent out reinforcements, with a total of 3000 men. As long as the reinforcements arrive, we will definitely be able to hold our position!"
After Yamamoto Ikki told the good news to Inoue Heiichiro, he hurriedly left Anjiaji. On the way of retreat, he encountered fire from the Thunder Fighter Squadron. After paying the price of 36 casualties, he successfully retreated to the secret camp.
At the temporary command post outside Anjiaji, Li Yunlong listened quietly to Xiao Zhongyuan's report, his eyes slightly brightening. He had been waiting for the Japanese in Ping'an County to leave the city, and attacking Anjiaji was not really his ultimate goal.
"Damn it! My efforts were not in vain. Immediately give Shen Quan an order to start retreating and change the direction of attack to attack the enemy's reinforcements in Taiyuan City. I only have one order for him, and that is to attack, attack, and attack non-stop!"
“Sanwazi, don’t just stand there. We can’t miss such a good opportunity. Turn most of the artillery muzzles around and fire at the Japanese reinforcements. Let the Japanese have a taste of being bombarded by artillery fire. Cover the Second Armored Battalion in launching an attack! Leave one company of artillery to continue bombarding Anjiaji. Since we can’t take down Anjiaji, let’s turn Anjiaji into ruins. There are no civilians inside anyway. Let the Fourth Artillery Company fire as much as they want!”
"Zhang Dashan, you've always said that infantry-tank coordination tactics are easy to learn, but once you get to the battlefield, you run into problems. I'm going to give you one more chance this time. Immediately lead your motorized infantry battalion and follow the tanks to launch an attack. We're going to play an air-to-ground integrated battle this time, so you have to learn it well and cooperate well with the Second Armored Battalion. You can't let the situation like last time happen again."
Li Yunlong quickly changed the battle deployment, changed the direction of attack, and launched an attack on the devil's reinforcements, which stunned the devils and puppet troops who came to support them. They had never encountered such fierce artillery fire, especially Li Yunlong also used heavy artillery, which put great pressure on the devils and puppet troops who came to reinforce.
"Captain, the firepower of this independent regiment is too strong. They use heavy artillery and we can't stop them at all! We haven't even reached Anjiaji yet and our casualties have reached 1/5. If we continue to move forward, our entire regiment may have to die here." Wang Damazi persuaded anxiously.
The puppet corps commander Zhang Liuzhi replied fearfully, "Damn it, you Wang Damazi said it so easily. The Japs are behind us with guns pointed at our backs. If anyone dares to escape now, they will die. Just now, more than 30 brothers tried to escape, but were shot by the Japs. I want to run now, but I don't want to die. Let's hold on for a while. If we can't hold on any longer, let the brothers retreat!"
Watanabe Kojiro, the captain of the Japanese squadron in charge of the reinforcement, said in annoyance, "Damn it! We fell into Li Yunlong's trap and should have retreated immediately, but the colonel did not approve it and asked us to rescue Anjiaji at all costs. I was really talkative just now, otherwise this mission would not have fallen on my head. Fortunately, with the help of Mr. Songyuan, otherwise those damn puppet troops would have retreated long ago."
Matsubara Kanji replied in a serious tone: "Watanabe-kun, we were indeed too arrogant before and underestimated the strength of the independent regiment. Its fierce firepower has exceeded the configuration of our three battalions. We want to help Colonel Yamamoto defend Anjiaji, but it is impossible to do so. I have just ordered people to kill more than 100 deserters. As the battle situation becomes more severe, more and more soldiers will flee. We must prepare for the worst!"
At this time, the two received a message from Colonel Kuroki, asking them to lead the team back to Ping'an County immediately. As soon as they received the order, they immediately began to deploy the retreat.
