"In my opinion, we should just sit back and watch the tigers fight. These local warlords are not good people either.”Yang Yongtai suggested that Chang Kaishen ignore the Japanese. After all, the 29th Division was not their team. If they fought with the Japanese, the Northern Expedition Army would not suffer.
"But will this start a war?”Chang Kaishen had a deep impression of Sasaki's threat.
"They are strong on the outside but weak on the inside. If there's anything, wait until they win the 29th Division.”Yang Yongtai could see clearly that Japan would not start a war with China. At most, it would be a diplomatic threat.
The person who offered Chang Kaishen a plan to disintegrate the Northwest Army was Yang Yongtai.
He bribed Han Fuju and Shi Sanyou with a large sum of money, and persuaded Xiao Shengnan to join the Northern Expedition Army with the sake of national justice.
"Alright, let's do that." In the end, Chang Kaishen still decided to watch from the sidelines. It was also because of this that Xiao Shenglin understood that the siblings were local warlords and would never be united.
On May 3rd, Xiao Shengnan received news that the Japanese army had a cavalry regiment that was killing and setting fires everywhere.
There was also an exploration team that was taking a detour to eat Ma Jicai's division. What a huge appetite. Aren't they afraid of breaking their teeth?
"Call Ge Jinzhang and tell him to take down that Japanese cavalry regiment.”Xiao Shengnan took a look and found that the commander looked down on her. Under such circumstances, he still dared to divide his forces. He really didn't treat bean buns as rations.
"Sister, I want to go to the cavalry regiment too. I'm a man, I can't follow you every day.”Xiao Shenglin didn't want to stay in the command center anymore. His military power had been taken away by his sister, so he could only go to the cavalry regiment.
"It's only been less than two days, and you can't sit still anymore. You're a monkey, so why do you have to go around causing trouble?”Xiao Shengnan didn't want to, but there were too many people in the command center, so she couldn't say anything.
Xiao Shenglin blinked again and acted coquettishly at his sister.
"Alright, but let's make it clear first. You're not allowed to participate in the battle.”Xiao Shengnan also knew that he couldn't control Xiao Shenglin's heart. Perhaps this kid would feel bored and go to the city to have fun.
"Alright." Xiao Shenglin agreed.
"Damn it, this is great. Previously, it was only us who got bombed. Now it's their turn.”Ma Jicai saw that the Japanese's charging formation was scattered by the incoming shells from time to time.
After a while, the two sides began to engage in an artillery battle. Without artillery support, the Japanese's attacks slowed down. They could not attack for a few consecutive waves.
The Qiushan Squadron had two infantry regiments. The Xiaoye Regiment had already been destroyed, so it would be replaced by the Muye Regiment.
"Kill, kill, kill." The Japanese commander shouted and ordered his men to charge.
Wave after wave of attacks, not giving the opponent a chance to rest. This was called the Pig Attack Tactics in the Japanese army. Because there were no tigers in Japan, the fiercest ones were wild boars, so it was called the Pig Attack Tactics.
"This bunch of Japanese have some skills, but we are not to be trifled with. Brothers, put your bayonet on. Those who know how to play with knives, take your knives.”Fang Yuwan, the regiment commander, drew his saber. Unlike the other officers, he was a proper Northwest macheteman.
Machetemen were bandits but not bandits. They were considered a kind of civilian armed force, a bit like people who mingled in societies. They could also be bodyguards for rich people or second-hand traffickers.
Most machetemen were proficient in boxing and saber techniques. They fought against injustice, robbed the rich to help the poor, and fought against enemies. They had the loyalty of the Jianghu to help each other. They often took revenge on those they thought were wronged. Even if they sacrificed their lives, they would not complain and would not ask for any material price. After the matter was over, they would only provide a meal. They were a very special group.
The northwest was very poor. In the early years, many people went to the west. The folk customs were also very fierce. Bandits were even more common. Many people were brave and ruthless.
That was why Xiao Shengnan was able to lead the Northwest Army and use the worst weapons to conquer the Northwest and the Central Plains.
Today, they had met the Kumamoto Regiment, who had come from the same desolate mountains and rivers. It could be said that they had met their match.
When the Japanese soldiers were about 30 meters away from the enemy's position, a dense wave of grenades flew out. After a few seconds, countless soldiers from the Northwest began to counterattack the Japanese soldiers with sabers and rifles.
"Kill, kill those pirates."
The era of hand-to-hand combat was the cruelest of battles. The soldiers 'courage and fighting skills were very important.
The clash between a katana and a broadsword was also very imposing. Whoever was fierce and powerful would survive. This was not a civil war, but a cruel contest between the two races.
Conquer or resist, choose to surrender or choose to fight to the end.
The grey and yellow currents collided, and blood splattered everywhere. The soldiers of the 6th Regiment were really skilled in fighting. The soldiers of the Northwest Army could all feel this, but they were not to be trifled with.
The current 29th Division was no longer the newbie soldiers that would be recruited later in the war. They were real elites who had been through hundreds of battles. Their bodies were very strong, and their fighting will was also very strong.
The most outstanding one was the regiment commander, Fang Yuwan. He was invincible with his broadsword and killed seven or eight ghosts. The edge of his blade was still extremely sharp. It was obvious how profound his saber skills were.
Soldiers were the courage of generals, and generals were the might of soldiers.
Seeing Fang Yuwan with three golden bean-shaped beads and looking so fierce, the captain of the Japanese soldiers could not sit still anymore. He pulled out his sword and rushed forward, killing two Northwest Army soldiers who challenged him. It seemed that he had some skills.
In fact, this was very normal. Not only did the commander of the Japanese have to be able to fight, but he also had to be able to kill. The army had always only worshipped the strong.
"Bastard, you have guts." Fang Yuwan kicked a soldier away and killed a soldier who ambushed him.
Watching from behind, Makino Sawazawa said," No wonder Ono-kun fought so hard and paid such a huge price. This Chinese army is indeed a little different."”
"Regiment Commander, Commander Igarashi is dead, and the first infantry has been forced back.”The Japanese chief of staff looked like he had seen a ghost. It was hard to accept that he was defeated in his field of expertise.
"I saw it. The enemy soldiers are very brave. It seems that we have to take back our contempt for them.”Makino Sawazawa was not Ono Taro. He was not the kind of person who cared about his reputation, so he immediately reported it to the Exploration Team Department.
