Bright Sword: An eight-year-old boy led a group to fight the Japanese invaders - Chapter 165: Kuroda Shigenori's Desperate Struggle

The 5 troops that came to support Suicheng during the day were beaten to a pulp, and Suicheng was captured at night.

When did the Eighth Route Army's attacks become so sharp?

In the headquarters, the officer who was pulled out of bed and beaten in the middle of the night looked at the telegram in silence.

Okamura slammed the table and yelled, "The Mongolian Army suffered heavy losses, the main force of the 26th Division was wiped out, and the division headquarters was surrounded. Don't you have anything to say?"

They were helpless. Suicheng was hundreds of kilometers away. The only group that could reach it in a short time was the flying group. However, the flying group did not dare to go out at night.

Moreover, the Eighth Route Army also has air power. Who knows how strong they are?

The flying regiment of the North China Expeditionary Army has suffered heavy losses during this period. If it is ambushed again, no one can bear the responsibility.

Seeing Okamura's face flushed with anger, Kasahara Yukio could only speak carefully,

Since Lieutenant General Kuroda Shigenori has already sent a farewell telegram, I think we should contact the Eighth Route Army as soon as possible to prevent the tragedy of the 20th Division from happening again."

"The Eighth Route Army has always treated prisoners well. Even if Lieutenant General Kuroda Shigenori died, their bodies would be properly handled. The situation of the 20th Division should not happen.

After all, not every Eighth Route Army unit is as cruel as the Independent Battalion! "

Major General Masaharu Hirata, deputy chief of staff of the headquarters, said that during this period he was mainly responsible for the logistics supply of the 108th and 109th Divisions, and he paid close attention to the independent brigade.

"How is that possible?" Hirata Masaharu didn't believe it, "Didn't the Eighth Route Army's independent battalion become the 316th Brigade?

They should be stationed in Jing County, how could they appear in Sui Province?"

Okamura saw that Hirata Masaharu looked tired and knew that he had been working very hard to coordinate the logistics of several divisions during this period, so he kindly explained,

"The Tubalu were very cunning. They made Wang Ye, the captain of the independent brigade, the commander of the 316th Brigade. In fact, the 316th Brigade was under the jurisdiction of the deputy brigade commander.

And now it seems that they have the power to fight independently!"

"What should we do? We can't just watch the imperial general die, right?" Hirata Masaharu panicked when he heard that the 26th Division's opponent was the former independent battalion.

Okamura stood up suddenly and said, "Let Lieutenant General Kuroda use the 5000 civilians in his hands as bargaining chips to negotiate with the Eighth Route Army.

If the Tubalu don't let them go, these 5000 people will be buried with them! The Empire will definitely treat their families well!"

"Hayakawa-kun, please arrange for the elite troops to keep an eye on the people. This is the key to whether we can make it to Yanggu alive. There must be no problems."

Kuroda Shigenori also called his trusted guard captain Hayakawa over and gave him serious instructions.

"Please rest assured, Lieutenant General. I will personally lead the guard and will definitely not let them cause any unrest, but..."

"But what?"

Now send out warriors to guard these 5000 people. Your safety may be at risk."

"Thump!" Kuroda Shigenori's heart skipped a beat. The safety of the division headquarters was of utmost importance.

If there is a problem with the command center, these captured civilians will be useless.

"Hayakawa-kun, remember, once the division headquarters is attacked, you can directly order the execution of all civilians!"

"Hey!" Hayakawa also replied with a grim expression.

The Japs were arranging everything in a tight and orderly manner. Wang Ye was also fast. The encirclement was formed in less than an hour. He took Zhao Gang to the temporary command post of the Special Forces Regiment.

"What's the situation with the Japanese?" Wang Ye walked into the command center and asked impatiently. More than 5000 civilians were in the hands of the Japanese, so he had to be anxious.

Wang Xiaoben and the deputy commander of the special operations group, Chen Feng, were discussing countermeasures. They looked up when they heard Wang Ye's question.

Wang Ye laughed dumbly, "There is no place in China that I can't go. Tell me quickly, what are the movements of the Japanese on the other side?"

"The devils want to take the people and flee north. If we don't give them a chance to live, they will let the people die with them."

"Those damn Japs are all beasts. How can they be so cruel!" Zhao Gang growled with gritted teeth.

"Don't worry, my great political commissar!" Wang Ye comforted Zhao Gang indifferently.

I tell you, if anything happens to these 5000 people, no one can protect you, and people all over the country will criticize you!"

Zhao Gang looked at Wang Ye's smiling face and became extremely angry.

"Not really." Wang Ye's face straightened. "My great political commissar, haven't you noticed that the number of senior staff in our brigade is not right?"

"How dare you say that," Zhao Gang said angrily, "Since the Sui-Cha strategy began, Deputy Brigade Commander Wang Su has not been seen.

"Chen Feng, tell me, where did our Deputy Brigade Commander Wang, the chief instructor of the Special Forces Regiment, go?"

Seeing that Zhao Gang's face turned red with anger, Wang Ye knew that something was going to happen if he didn't explain clearly, so he asked quickly.

Chen Feng smiled bitterly and said, "The instructor entered Suicheng before the main force surrounded it, but she only brought a small group of people.

The special forces members who entered Suicheng later only saw the marks they left behind, but did not see the people themselves. They should be among the civilians captured by the devils now!"

"Tell me clearly, how many people from the special operations regiment are among the civilians captured by the Japanese?" Zhao Gang got even angrier when he heard Wang Su was inside, and he grabbed Chen Feng and yelled at him.

"Commissar, rest assured. The chief instructor has sneaked in with 200 people. We just received their intelligence!"

"What's the specific situation?" Zhao Gang asked urgently.
