Anti-Japanese War: From Becoming Chu Yunfei to Rising

Chapter 34: The Arrogant Japs
Sun Ming quickly ran to Chu Yunfei's horse, with a serious look on his face: "Commander, something happened!"

"The sky won't fall, just take your time!"

Chu Yunfei pulled the reins in his hand without haste: "Did Yuanping fall?"

Sun Ming nodded, and then continued: "Commander, Yuanping has been lost, Brigadier General Jiang...he!"

"What's up with him?"

Chu Yunfei frowned slightly and tilted his head to look at him.

Sun Ming couldn't bear it, and his voice choked with sobs: "Commander Jiang's head was cut off by the Japanese, and a few guards from the special agent platoon only managed to get back Commander Jiang's body."

"what?"

Chu Yunfei was shocked: "Where is Brigadier General Jiang's head?"

"I still do not know yet."

Chu Yunfei took a deep breath and adjusted his mood: "Order the troops to speed up the march!"

"Yes!"

The 358th Regiment at this time.

Except for the first unit, all other camps have returned to their bases.

On the road to Yuanping Town, there were four full columns of fast marching troops.

The 358th Regiment marched towards Yuanping at the fastest speed.

In Yuanping City.

The collapsed Li Family Compound was once the headquarters of the 196th Brigade.

Outside the courtyard, the Japanese were repairing a newly built wooden shed.

Outside the wooden shed, only pits and craters remained.

This is the headquarters of the 15th Independent Mixed Brigade.

"Your Excellency, the commander of the enemy forces in Yuanping has been killed by our army."

Morinaga Yosuke, the adjutant of the brigade commander Shinohara Joichiro, was excitedly reporting to him the great achievements of the locust army: "The warriors of our brother country cut off their heads and hung them on the city walls in order to intimidate the Chinese so that they would not dare to disobey again."

The battle of Yuanping County.

As a result, the elite infantry of the 15th Brigade under his command lost more than a thousand people, including more than 600 killed, and more than 500 Japanese soldiers permanently lost their combat effectiveness.

This was the greatest loss suffered by the Japanese invaders since the war began, except for the Suzuki Brigade.

Now, the shame has been washed away.

Shinohara Joichiro was naturally in a good mood.

I didn't have time to say anything encouraging.

There were continuous gunshots and explosions outside the city.

Shinohara Joichiro's brows, which had just relaxed, furrowed again: "Has the Seventh Infantry Battalion not yet wiped out the remaining enemies?"

Morinaga Yosuke was a little puzzled: "I will go and check it out. Please wait a moment, Captain."

After turning around and leaving, Morinaga Yosuke looked impatient.

He walked towards the city gate, ready to find someone to ask what had happened.

Outside Yuanping City at this time.

Ma Ying and his cavalry soldiers galloped on their horses.

"Kill off the lone Japs!"

"boom"

The cavalry company's soldiers are pretty good at shooting.

Three or five shots can knock one down.

As for the saber raised high.

Every swing would take the life of a Japanese soldier.

"Pfft~!"

After the neck was cut off.

The blood pumping out of the Japanese's arteries splattered more than ten meters away, dyeing the warhorse's hair red.

Ma Keying laughed: "Kill~!!"

Outside the city, most of the Japanese invaders realized the situation and quickly organized a counterattack.

But the cavalry company is so fast
Many of the Japanese soldiers were sent to hell before they could even react.

The Japanese machine gunner pulled the trigger in the direction of the cavalry company's charge.

Bullets shot into the body of the warhorse.

Several soldiers fell directly to the ground.

“Hey~!!”

The Japanese soldiers howled and rushed towards the fallen soldiers with bayonets pointed.

At this time, the cavalry company completed a round of charge, turned their horses around, and launched a surprise attack.

"boom!"

The Japanese tanks fired artillery and light and heavy machine guns fired together.

The cavalry company's casualties continued to increase.

"Company commander, the Japs' large force has moved out, it's time to retreat!"

"go!"

Ma Ying waved his hand, and the soldiers of the cavalry company pulled the fallen soldiers back onto their horses and quickly evacuated the battlefield outside the city.

The cavalry company moved like the wind, killing more than thirty Japanese soldiers and successfully escaping.

Morinaga Yosuke only felt his face burning, as if he had been slapped in the face.

Just over ten minutes ago, the enemy commander's head was hung outside the city wall, and the organized cavalry unit attacked them...
"Bageya Road..."

Although extremely angry

But Morinaga Yosuke still controlled his emotions and quickly returned to the brigade headquarters to report the situation.

Could this organized cavalry unit be the support of the Chinese army?
However, the battle is basically over. At this time, what is the significance of the arrival of support troops?

Seiichiro Shinohara was also very confused.

The order given to him by the commander of the Fifth Division, Seishirō Itagaki, was to continue attacking towards the Xinkou line after capturing Yuanping.

But the sudden attack made him a little worried.

"Commander, could it be that the Chinese Army has not yet completed its defensive deployment in Xinkou, so they sent such a small force to harass and contain our attack?"

Seiichiro Shinohara nodded and agreed with this point of view in his heart.

It was just a cavalry company and posed no threat to their 15th Independent Mixed Brigade.

It would be better to take this opportunity to continue attacking Xinkou to the south.

If we can take advantage of their unstable foothold and defeat the Chinese army’s defense.

Then Seiichiro Shinohara has made a great contribution!
At this time, Seiichiro Shinohara was not only responsible for commanding the 15th Independent Mixed Brigade under his command, but also for the coordination and combat planning of various frontline units in Xinkou.

To use an analogy with an official position in the National Army, he would be the so-called commander-in-chief of the front line.

Whether to attack Xinkou actually depends on his own judgment.

The predecessor of the 15th Independent Mixed Brigade was the Japanese Second Division that participated in the September 18th Incident.

It is organized around the 15th Brigade of the 2nd Division.

The combat capability is extremely strong.

The 196th Brigade was an extremely elite Type A brigade. It held out in Yuanping for ten days and caused less than casualties to the Japanese invaders.

In other words, the 15th Independent Mixed Brigade still has the ability to continue fighting at this time.

Comprehensively consider the casualties of each unit and the smooth flow of logistics supply lines.

Seiichiro Shinohara finally made up his mind and continued the attack!
This time, they did not stop their attack, adjust their rhythm, and digest the results like they did before.

Instead, with the momentum of a great victory, they quickly advanced towards the Xinkou line!
The Japanese were so arrogant that Ma Keying and other soldiers were so angry that they gritted their teeth.

"Captain, these damned Japanese devils don't take us seriously."

"That's not right. Why do I feel like the Japanese are trying to lure us into attacking?"

Ma Keying was very conflicted.

He took the initiative to attack, although it was out of anger.

But the essence was to contain the Japanese invaders, slow down their attack speed, and wait for the arrival of the main force of the regiment.

But now, the Japanese chose to continue moving south.

A company of cavalry trying to stop the main force of the little devil is an impossible task.
Just as Ma Ying was hesitating, the vanguard of the third battalion arrived.
There are so many things to do today, I am really sorry.
