Chapter 262 Commander Yan’s anger and fear!
"If that idiot Matsumoto wants to die, then he can do it. We should ignore this lunatic."
"Evacuate Langkou Pass immediately. The Tiger Guards' reinforcements may already be on the way."
The captain of the 9th Regiment looked at the Japanese staff officer beside him, then looked at the battle in front, and then said to the Japanese staff officer.
"Hi!" The Japanese staff officer nodded in response.
As the order was given, the Japanese soldiers of the 9th Regiment withdrew from the battlefield one after another and began to evacuate towards Langkou Pass.
As the 9th Regiment withdrew from the battlefield, the Matsumoto Battalion's attack also paused.
At this moment, there were only more than a hundred Tiger Guards soldiers around Wang Dali and Sun Hu, and all of them were injured.
After all, with less than a thousand people, they resisted the fierce attack of more than four thousand Japanese soldiers for half an hour.
As for the Matsumoto Battalion, because they were the first to attack, they suffered heavy casualties. A battalion of 1,100 people now has less than 500 people.
This is a loss of more than half!
"Attack, attack, we must completely wipe out these Chinese." Captain Matsumoto saw that the attack had paused, so he waved his command knife and shouted loudly.
In fact, Captain Matsumoto had no intention of living at this moment. He knew that he had made a big mistake.
Even if he evacuated, he would be ordered by Yoshio Shinozuka and Chief of Staff Yusuke Tsukawa to commit suicide by seppuku.
Compared to committing seppuku, Captain Matsumoto would rather die on the battlefield.
Originally, Captain Matsumoto wanted to take credit for the victory. In his opinion, 5,000 imperial warriors fought back against less than 2,000 Chinese.
This is a very easy thing to do, as the Chinese people are not very strong in combat.
As for the soldiers of the Tiger Guard Division, they are very powerful.
Captain Matsumoto felt that this was just a lie made up by the officers in the headquarters to evade responsibility.
Captain Matsumoto also knew about the Battle of Chidong County, and he knew it very clearly.
Captain Matsumoto felt that it was not the infantry of the Tiger Guard Division but the armored forces of the Tiger Guard Division that defeated the 37th Division.
If the armored forces of the Tiger Guard Division had not raided the rear of the 37th Division, the 37th Division would have definitely been able to capture Chidong County.
But Captain Matsumoto was wrong.
Captain Matsumoto thought that his brigade could quickly defeat the Tiger Guard Division and then quickly surround Zhou Weimin.
However, the combat effectiveness of the Tiger Guard Division is not weaker than that of the Matsumoto Battalion.
He was even stronger than his Captain Matsumoto. This was mainly because the soldiers of the Tiger Guard Division knew that Zhou Weimin was in the rear.
In order to protect Zhou Weimin, the soldiers of the Huben Division burst out with strong fighting power and did not care about their own death.
“Boom boom boom…”
The roar coming from afar interrupted Captain Matsumoto's thoughts.
The armored units of the Tiger Guard Division arrived at the battlefield.
The outcome of the battle is predictable.
When Xu Hu saw Wang Dali and Sun Hu, there were only dozens of soldiers around them.
Moreover, these dozens of soldiers were injured, even Wang Dali and Sun Hu had gunshot wounds.
......
The Second War Zone Headquarters in Kenanpo.
After receiving the news of Langkou Pass, Commander Yan immediately summoned all the officers in the headquarters.
In a large cave, in a war room of more than 200 square meters, dozens of Shanxi-Suiyuan Army officers looked at Commander Yan with an angry face.
At this moment, all the officers of the Shanxi-Suiyuan Army stood around in silence, not daring to move.
"Who ordered the troops stationed at Langkouguan to evacuate? Who rashly evacuated the base and handed it over to the Japanese?"
"What is this? This is treason. This is an act of treason."
"You guys are all silent, right? You think I can't find out by not saying anything, right?"
Commander Yan's voice grew louder and louder, and then he suddenly turned to look at Sun Chu and said, "The garrison troops at Langkou Pass are your subordinates. How do you explain it?"
After hearing this, Sun Chu said with a gloomy face: "Sir, this is my fault. I can no longer contact this unit."
After hearing what Sun Chu said, Commander Yan's face turned even uglier. He shouted to the officers present, "Find it! You must find it."
At this moment, Commander Yan knew that no one had given orders to this unit and that this unit had rebelled.
"Commander, leave this matter to me. I will definitely give you a satisfactory answer." After hearing what Commander Yan said, Sun Chu quickly stood up and said.
After all, this army is under the command of Sun Chu. If he does not express his position at this time, how can he manage the army in the future?
"No, Zhou Weimin is getting married in a few days. You need to go to Hutoushan and talk to Zhou Weimin about the Eighth Route Army issue."
"Shanxi doesn't allow the Eighth Route Army to develop any further. If they allow it to develop any further, what will become of our Shanxi-Suiyuan Army?"
After hearing what Sun Chu said, Commander Yan waved his hand and said to Sun Chu.
In fact, Commander Yan can get news about Langkou Pass.
That’s because it was Zhou Weimin who sent this message to Commander Yan, and he also invited Commander Yan to attend his wedding.
There are two reasons why Zhou Weimin did this.
One aspect is to test Commander Yan and see if the ambush by the Japanese this time has anything to do with Commander Yan.
On the other hand, it is disgusting to Commander Yan.
Didn’t Commander Yan say that nothing in Jin could be hidden from him?
The results of it?
Commander Yan didn't even know that his own troops had left the base at will, so what is he bragging about?
"Yes!" Sun Chu saluted after hearing what Commander Yan said.
"No matter where this unit is, we must find it and destroy it as soon as possible."
"This is a disgrace to our Jinsui Army. If you don't want others to laugh at you, then hurry up and do it for me."
Commander Yan glanced at everyone present, then spoke loudly to everyone present.
This time Commander Yan was really angry.
Commander Yan, who is always known for his good temper, was also defeated.
In particular, Commander Yan understood that Zhou Weimin sent the telegram to disgust him.
After hearing what Commander Yan said, the officers of the Shanxi-Suiyuan Army all left the cave, except Sun Chu.
"Commander Yan, we really have a problem internally. This time the Japanese have bribed more than just the troops at Langkou Pass."
"Some other garrison troops near northwest Shanxi were also bribed by the Japanese."
After all the officers had left the cave, Sun Chu walked up to Commander Yan and whispered.
"You don't control your subordinates strictly! You don't control your subordinates strictly!"
"This matter must be dealt with seriously. This time it was Zhou Weimin, but what about next time?"
"Will it be you next time, or me?"
After hearing what Sun Chu said, Commander Yan felt a little scared. Then he pondered for a moment and said to Sun Chu.
In fact, it was not only Commander Yan who felt a little scared, but Sun Chu also felt a little scared.
There was no ambush of Zhou Weimin by the Japanese this time.
Commander Yan and Sun Chu would never have imagined that there were such big problems within the Shanxi-Suiyuan Army.
The internal problems of the Shanxi-Suiyuan Army must be resolved.
