Chapter 266 The generals have lost weight
Chapter 266 The generals have lost weight
The weather kept getting warmer, and by early April, coats were no longer wearable.
At this time, the spirits of all Peking, all North China, and even all Chinese people were lifted.
Because no matter how much the Japanese blocked the news, they could not hide their disastrous defeat in Taijiazhuang.
The Isogai Division was devastated, and Yicheng became the nightmare place for Itagaki Seishirō.
Various shortwave radio stations in the south did their best to broadcast the news of victory 24 hours a day. Students in the city even began to distribute leaflets, and the gendarmerie headquarters even conducted several raids for this purpose.
The headquarters informed the Golden Buddha Group of the details and sent a decision to give major commendations.
After receiving the important intelligence sent back by Jin Fo, the superiors launched a heated discussion. Finally, the commander of the Fifth War Zone made the final decision and ordered the 059th Army to rush to Yicheng overnight.
It has to be said that the command system in the south was as transparent to the Japanese, and Itagaki actually intercepted the order in advance.
But he made a decision that made him regret for the rest of his life: he believed that even if the 059th Army was a divine force, it would take at least three days to reach Yicheng. By that time, he would have already captured Yicheng and was waiting for the 059th Army there.
It is said that Itagaki laughed loudly during the combat meeting, "This is not a rescue army, this is clearly a suicide army!"
However, things turned out a little differently from what he had imagined.
First, the tenacity of the defenders of Yicheng was beyond his imagination. Even though their fortifications were almost completely destroyed and they were facing a desperate situation of running out of ammunition and food, they were still able to fight back and forth with Itagaki, which prevented Itagaki from taking Yicheng for a long time.
This made Itagaki very confused. Is this still the southern army that I am familiar with?
The next day, the nightmare began.
The 059th Army ran for a whole day and night and arrived at Yicheng. It even went around to the rear of the Itagaki Division and launched an attack from the rear when the Itagaki Division was completely unprepared.
The defenders in the city actually gave up their positions and chose to go out of the city to fight a decisive battle with the Itagaki Division.
Itagaki Seishirō was praised by the headquarters for his desperate frontal breakthrough style, but he was still deeply shocked!
After four days of fighting, the Itagaki Division could no longer hold on and hurriedly fled to Jucheng.
As soon as Itagaki retreated, the Isogai Division in Taijiazhuang became an isolated force.
Then Isotani chose to take a gamble and launched a desperate and frantic attack, trying to take Taijiazhuang and move south to join the troops south of the canal.
At the critical moment, Commander Chi, the commander of the Taijiazhuang defenders, sent a telegram to inform his superiors: Our division will definitely fight to the end and live and die with the position to repay the country!
After the third bombardment, Xiaobei Gate collapsed completely and the Japanese broke into the city.
Commander Chi immediately organized a death squad and gave each of them a reward of thirty dollars!
No one asked for money.
Some were laughing, some were crying, and the vast majority had no expression.
Someone shouted, "Why do we need money? Let's fight the devils today! For the sake of our future generations, we don't have to be slaves of others!"
Teams of suicide squads rushed into enemy positions under the cover of darkness, fighting for their lives with guns, knives, and grenades strapped to their bodies.
Finally, the Fifth War Zone completed the counter-encirclement and after four days of fierce fighting, it defeated the main forces of the Fifth and Tenth Divisions and annihilated more than 20,000 enemies.
Jin Fo made great contributions and was promoted to captain, and was awarded the fourth-class Yunhui Medal.
Lao Ma and the two radio operators also received corresponding promotions and commendations.

mountain city.
Boss Dai is in a very good mood recently.
The man was very impressed with their achievements and even awarded him a third-class Baoding Medal.
This is much rarer than the Cloud Banner Medal of the Golden Buddha!
However, Boss Dai didn't care about medals or not. What he cared more about was that under the influence of this incident, the reorganization of the Military Intelligence Bureau went quite smoothly. It was foreseeable that his power would continue to increase in the future.
When Boss Dai is in a good mood, the mood of his subordinates will be good as well.
Mao Dafeng sent some documents over. Seeing that Boss Dai was listening to "Rose, Rose, I Love You" again, she couldn't help but smile and said, "Commander, under your leadership, we have made great contributions to the army this time. I heard someone outside say that you alone can replace several divisions!"
Boss Dai coughed and said, "What nonsense! The soldiers are fighting for their lives in the front. What we are doing is insignificant!"
Then he took the file and whispered, "Destroy all the information about the Golden Buddha. All important information about the Golden Buddha should be reported directly to me. At the same time, make several copies of Poppy's information and archive them in multiple places, and increase the confidentiality level appropriately."
Mao Dafeng understood what Boss Dai meant. The value of the Golden Buddha was now beyond their imagination. Specifically, it was worth sacrificing some senior intelligence personnel to protect the Golden Buddha at a critical moment.
"Yes, I'll do it right away."
Boss Dai smiled, "Lao Zhuang was promoted too, right? Haha, this guy must have benefited from his students. This time we provided such important intelligence to the Fifth War Zone, they will definitely come to inquire about it, so we can continue to provide them with military intelligence. Remember, whoever comes to you, let him come to me directly, don't accept it, and never expose the existence of the Golden Buddha. The Fifth War Zone is infiltrated like a sieve. Alas, I want to send someone to investigate, but they have too many troubles and dare not let us get involved!"
"Yes, Sir, I understand."
"Find a way to send more money to Beiping. Even though it's about promotions and medals, they're useless. Giving more money is the real deal. We can't let Jin Fo risk his head to get intelligence, and still not be able to help with the money issue, right?"

North China Front Army Headquarters.
The office of General Touichi inside the temple.
Terauchi Shouichi was lying on a soft couch with a gloomy look on his face.
After the plane crashed and collided with the car, many pieces of iron penetrated the driver's body and embedded themselves in him.
Although his life was not in danger, his back was covered in blood and there were several bruises in awkward places. As a result, he is now afraid to eat for fear of going to the toilet.
The generals all look thinner!
In order to prevent the general from looking up at him, Kita Seiichi simply sat on the ground, slightly bent over. Fortunately, he was not tall, so it was not too difficult.
"You mean, there is another important spy in Peking, who is hiding very deeply and in a very high position?"
Kita Makoto nodded, "According to the information sent back by our people, there was indeed a certain degree of leakage in the combat plan of the Fifth Division this time."
Terauchi Hisaichi frowned, not sure if it hurt.
"But only the three of us know this plan!"
