In the temporary command post, Zhao Menghai saw the Japanese retreating to a safe area in an orderly manner. He heaved a sigh of relief and praised the Japanese for their fast transition between attack and defense.
Therefore, the troops that were preparing to counterattack immediately stopped because the other party did not show any signs of collapse, so counterattacking at this time would only increase the casualties.
"Send the situation here to the group leader.”After watching for a while, Zhao Menghai guessed that the Japanese would not continue to attack for the time being. He immediately asked the signal soldier to generate electricity.
"Yes."
…………
In Dragon Head Town, since the war with the Japanese, Yang Xin had only slept for four to five hours for several consecutive days. When he received the telegram from Zhao Menghai, he couldn't help but feel excited.
"Zhao Menghai, well done.”Yang Xin said happily.
"Men, send this telegram to the whole country.”
"Yes, sir!" Wang Rusong, who was waiting at the side, quickly replied.
"Breaking news, breaking news, the Duolun Militia and the Japanese Army are engaged in a fierce battle.”
"Breaking news, breaking news, the Duolun Militia has completely annihilated the 78th regiment of the Japanese army.”
"Breaking news, breaking news, the Duolun Militia has once again dealt a heavy blow to the 79th regiment.”
For a time, all the big cities in the country were shocked. An unknown local militia group instantly became a well-known hero.
Once upon a time, Yang Xin's electricity became a laughing stock among people, and many people even secretly cursed him for being a traitor.
However, after a battle report was sent, people felt that the world had changed too quickly, especially when a regiment was completely wiped out. This was a great victory.
Fortunately, the major newspaper organizations did not immediately express their views. Instead, they waited for the Japanese army's statement. After all, they needed the Japanese army to confirm it before they could publicize it.
This time, the response of the Japanese was very slow. It took three days for the statement to be issued by the Kwantung Army headquarters.
The content of the statement only mentioned that the 78th Regiment was engaged in a bloody battle with the Duolun Militia. They suspected that the Militia was made up of the most elite German Machinists in China because the weapons used by this unit were all German weapons.
At the same time, they would not tolerate the damage the Duolun Militia caused to the Imperial Army. They decided to send the 9th Division of the Kwantung Army and the 130th Brigade to Chahar to eliminate the Duolun Militia in the shortest time possible.
At this moment, General Ueda Kenyoshi was very angry. Ever since the Kwantung Army became an independent system, they had never suffered such a great humiliation. They had actually been wiped out by a local militia.
The only thing that made him feel relieved was that the alliance flag was not seized. If the alliance flag was also seized, it would be really embarrassing.
Although it was announced to the public that not a single regiment had been wiped out, everyone still knew from the internal notice of the military that a regiment had been wiped out. Therefore, someone had to bear the responsibility.
The commander of the 79th Brigade, Major General Mizukawa Yifu, did not wait to return to China for investigation. On the third day after the message was sent, the Kwantung Army command sent his successor and the military police, and ordered him to commit suicide immediately to thank the emperor.
Upon hearing this order, Major General Yifu Mizukawa's face turned ashen. After muttering a few words, he completed his harakiri in a room.
In the Kwantung Army headquarters, the commander, General Ueda Kenyoshi, looked coldly at the three major generals of the Intelligence Division and said coldly,""Major General Ishimoto, have you not figured out the information about the Duolun Militia?”
Hearing this, Ishimoto Tora and the other two major generals broke out in cold sweat and quickly said,""Commander, the time is too short. We only found out that this Yang Xin was originally from a merchant family. Later, he spent 1,000 yuan to buy the leader of the militia in Dragon Head Town. Then, he abolished the original militia and recruited a new one. As for the source of the weapons, we have not found it yet.”
"Baka, you bastards, why did the empire raise trash like you?”Suddenly, General Ueda Kenyoshi was furious. Losing a regiment made his expression very ugly. Now that he did not have any valuable information, he was naturally furious.
" Baka Yalu, this damned Yang Xin, he made our Kwantung Army lose face in front of the military headquarters and the whole world. Where did he get his damn weapons, they're even more advanced than the German Machinists."”
Before Mizukawa Yifu died, he had provided a valuable piece of information, which detailed the organization of the Doron Militia and their weapons.
Looking at the weapon configuration, General Ueda felt a headache. Light machine guns were placed in the platoon, and the squad leader was equipped with submachine guns. There were even sharpshooters, and a regiment was equipped with a heavy artillery battalion. (In fact, they mistook a battalion for a regiment.)）
Even the German Machinists would not be able to match up to such firepower. Where did they get it from? More importantly, it was said that there were also bomber planes. This did not seem like a militia at all.
"Commander, we have temporarily found out that the enemy is using a 98K rifle. The submachine gun is a German model that has just been finalized and has not been mass produced yet. The light machine gun is a ZB26, and the heavy machine gun is a Maxim water-cooled heavy machine gun.”The three major generals said helplessly.
He had just taken up his post. He had originally thought that after a year, he would be able to be transferred to the frontline troops. By then, he would have made outstanding contributions and his military rank would be able to climb up. Now, it seemed that it was difficult to say whether he could keep his position.
