I really came here to fight against Japan

Chapter 118 Remember, my name is Yang Qingwen

Song Wenwan now has an army of 100,000 in Shanxi, including the Sichuan Army.

They thought that Song Wenwan must have suffered heavy casualties after a series of fierce battles with the Japanese.

But what no one expected was that his troops did not suffer heavy casualties.

It was mainly the soldiers of the Sichuan Army who sacrificed more.

Because they did not fully understand Song Wenwan's offensive and defensive systems, the Japanese took advantage of them.

In this way, five days later, the 100,000-strong army finally appeared on the banks of the Yellow River.

At noon that day, Song Wenwan, Qin Haichuan and Deng Beihou jointly sent a telegram to the whole country.

They were preparing to cross the Yellow River to Shaanxi for rest and recuperation, and suddenly the whole country was in an uproar!

At around eight o'clock that evening, a Japanese cavalry regiment arrived at Shunning County.

Following behind them were more than 10,000 soldiers from the Japanese 9th Mixed Brigade.

Commander Kawaguchi of the Japanese army stationed in Shunning looked down from the city wall.

The person standing on horseback under the flag of the Kuroshima Cavalry Regiment was actually Kuroshima Morita, who was of royal blood.

Kawaguchi once saw him from afar during a military review by the Emperor.

Kuroshima, who was still young at that time, led his cavalry troops and galloped past in front of him.

He quickly led his men to open the city gate and went out of the city to welcome this royal relative.

Although the blood relationship between Captain Kuroshima and the Emperor is very distant.

But that is not something that they, the descendants of Hokkaido fishermen, can compare to.

Although they were all commanders of the Japanese army, Kawaguchi couldn't help but step forward and salute Kuroshima.

"Kuroshima-kun, I am Captain Kawaguchi Kenjin of the Imperial 22nd Division.

I have heard that your cavalry regiment has come to Shanxi, but I didn't expect to see you today. I am very happy."

Kuroshima Morita was stunned for a moment and said, "Kawaguchi-kun? Have we met before?"

Captain Kawaguchi's smile became more flattering as he listened to Kuroshima's fluent Kyoto accent.

He said, "Kuroshima-kun, I saw you from afar two years ago when His Majesty the Emperor reviewed the troops.

I didn't expect that more than three years have passed and you are still as vigorous as ever!"

Hei Dao finally smiled and said, "Yo, I didn't expect to meet someone like you here!"

While Kawaguchi invited Kuroshima to enter Shunning City, he asked with concern: "Kuroshima-kun, I wonder if you have any business to come to Shunning this time?"

Kuroshima Morita said seriously: "This time we are carrying out a secret mission, but I can tell you now.

General Yoshio Shinozuka has discovered that the commander-in-chief of the Second War Zone has come to the front line for inspection.

He will hold a meeting with senior leaders of the Central Army and the Eighth Route Army in Ji County today.

My Cavalry Regiment and the 9th Mixed Brigade have a very important mission today.

The goal is to launch a surprise attack on the headquarters of the Second War Zone and try to catch them all in one fell swoop.

We won't stay in Shunning anymore, just open the city gate opposite.

We should go directly through the county town without stopping and get to Ji County as quickly as possible.

We must wipe them all out before the Chinese army can react."

This news made Kawaguchi very excited, as if he was the one who had made the contribution this time.

Kawaguchi's eyes rolled and his mind suddenly became hot.

He rubbed his hands and said, "Kuroshima-kun, this is a rare opportunity, can you let me join in?"

What a great achievement it is to be able to participate in the battle to destroy the headquarters of China's Second War Zone!

If you are lucky, you will get the position of brigade chief of staff.

I have been stuck as a colonel for too long. If this time...

Just thinking about it makes me feel extremely excited.

Kuroshima Morita hesitated for a moment, but looking at Kawaguchi's fiery eyes...

Kuroshima said: “Then I can give you half an hour to assemble your squadron.

But after you leave, I'm worried about the city defense of Shunning County, which is our retreat.

Otherwise, you can take your infantry regiment and follow us.

I'll have the 9th Mixed Brigade leave a squadron behind to guard the place. What do you think?"

After hearing this, Captain Kawaguchi was overjoyed at first, and then asked worriedly: "Kuroshima-kun, will the people of the 9th Brigade agree?"

Seeing Kuroshima's chin raised higher than the sky, Kawaguchi said happily: "Thank you Kuroshima-kun, thank you Kuroshima-kun."

After saying this, he immediately ordered his men to assemble urgently without waiting for the people from the 9th Mixed Brigade to take over.

Then he handed a small box to Hei Dao's orderly, which contained fifty large yellow croakers.

Looking at Kuroshima Morita secretly glancing at the wooden box containing gold, his throat moved noticeably.

Kawaguchi turned his head and pretended not to see it, and said with contempt in his heart.

Bah, you are a descendant of a royal family, but you can't move your eyes when you see things.

How can they be much better than me, the descendant of a Hokkaido fisherman?

In less than half an hour, the Kawaguchi Corps had assembled and were waiting for orders inside the west gate.

After the convoy of the 9th Mixed Brigade entered the city, Heishima immediately rode over on horseback.

After talking to someone in a truck for a few words, I saw that person get out of the car and give orders to the people behind him.

Then I saw several more cars separated from the convoy and heading in different directions of the city.

While waiting for Kuroshima to come back, Captain Kawaguchi flattered him again.

The west gate of Shunning was finally opened. According to Heishima's request, in order to ensure that the operation was not leaked, even the searchlights on the top of the city were not turned on.

By the time the Kawaguchi Regiment's infantry had all left the city gate, Kuroshima Morita's cavalry regiment had still not started to act.

Captain Kawaguchi asked, "Kuroshima-kun, why aren't we taking action yet?"

Kuroshima Morita looked a little nonchalant as he watched the city gate being closed by his men.

He slowly drew out his saber and suddenly spoke to Captain Kawaguchi in Chinese.

"When you go to hell, if the King of Hell asks who killed you, don't forget to tell him that my name is Yang Qingwen!"

Captain Kawaguchi didn't understand and asked Kuroshima, "What?"

There was a flash of cold light, and Captain Kawaguchi's head flew above his head.

Kawaguchi's guards were all stunned, and before they could react.

The soldiers of the Kuroshima Regiment took out their guns from under their cloaks.

"Suddenly..."

As a burst of gunfire was fired at them, all of Kawaguchi's guards were killed.

The Japanese troops outside the city stopped in their tracks when they heard fierce gunfire suddenly erupting from the city behind them.

At this moment, all the searchlights on the city walls were suddenly turned on, blinding them so much that they all closed their eyes.

Then, from the darkness outside the city, countless light and heavy machine guns aimed at them and fired bullets of revenge.

The city gate that had just been closed also closed their hope of life.

They could only blindly fight back against the enemies in the dark.

It’s a pity that there is not even a decent shelter in the open space outside the city.

All we can do is allow the enemy in the darkness to diligently plow this ancient land with machine gun bullets over and over again.

They fought for a full hour before the gunfire all around stopped.

When the smoke cleared, a group of Chinese soldiers emerged from the darkness.

With steel bulletproof shields and long poles in their hands, they resumed the work of autopsy.
