Nakajima Kinsaigo was paraded through the streets and then escorted to Caishikou. Under the witness of the entire city, he was cut into pieces. His screams were endless, but the people at the scene clapped their hands in joy.
This was because the 16th division was truly brutal. On their way here, they had done all sorts of evil.
Just from the journey from Tianjin to Xian County, at least tens of thousands of people had died at their hands.
In Xian County, almost every family had people killed. The surviving commoners naturally hated this old devil to the bone.
Therefore, Nakajima Kinago deserved it.
After Nakajima Kingo was executed, his head was cut off according to Liu Chunlin's instructions and hung above the city gate for public display.
However, Nakajima Kingo was not alone. The heads of Colonel Nakazawa Mitsuo and some other Japanese officers were also chopped off and hung on the city wall.
……
Last night, the Japanese who had escaped from Xian County had headed straight for Guo Zhuang after running out of the city because their main force was here.
Sasaki Ichiichi led his troops to attack Guozhuang Town, but the Japanese had made little progress yesterday. They had only cleared the positions and minefields outside Guozhuang Town.
According to Sasaki's plan, they would attack Guo Village early in the morning.
Before dawn, the Japanese who had escaped arrived at Sasaki's military camp.
Sasaki was woken up and rushed to the command center.
"What happened?"
A Japanese officer reported," Brigade Commander, something bad has happened. Xian County was suddenly attacked by the Chinese army. The county has been lost."”
"What did you say? The county has fallen?"
Sasaki Yiichi was also shocked and quickly asked,""How did this happen? How did the county suddenly fall? Where's the Regiment Commander?"
"Brigade commander, according to the reports from the people who escaped from the city, the enemy somehow managed to sneak into the city and attacked from within. They first took over the headquarters and then gradually took over the entire city. As for the Regiment Commander, we don't know what's going on, but I'm afraid he's in grave danger.”
Sasaki couldn't help but curse,"Baka!" These despicable Chinese people."
"A bunch of trash. They can't even defend the county town. They're simply a bunch of good-for-nothings.”
" Brigade Leader, please calm down. Now, we…" A Japanese officer asked carefully.
Sasaki thought for a moment and said,""It happened so suddenly, and this matter concerns the life and death of the major general.”
"We can't turn a blind eye to this! Immediately pass down the order for the troops to gather and return to Xian County.”
"Ha Yi!" A Japanese officer beside him quickly responded and turned around to convey the order.
At this moment, a Japanese officer reminded him,""Brigade leader, should we inform the regiment leader of Caochang Chenyi about this?”
Sasaki frowned and said,""With such a big matter happening, we naturally have to inform him.”
"Send a telegram to Mr. Caochang and the others. Tell them to come back as soon as possible.”
"Ha Yi!"
The Japanese officer quickly responded and turned to send the telegram.
The main force of the 16th division, the 29th regiment of Caochang Chenyi, the artillery regiment, cavalry regiment, and other troops under the 16th division, had about 10,000 people. They had already pushed into Wuqiang and Shen County.
Originally, they had planned to continue attacking Hengshui. If not for the delay in Xian County and Nakajima Kingo's order to slow them down, they would probably have taken Hengshui by now.
When the news reached the frontline command center of Caochang Chenyi, the old devil was also shocked when he heard the news. It took him a while to react.
When he confirmed that it was true, Major General Cao Changchen was so angry that he cursed,"Bagaya Road!"
"Immediately pass down the order. All troops gather immediately and return to Xian County as quickly as possible!”
" Brigade Commander, the mission that the headquarters gave us is to take Hengshui from the south and attack Shimen from the east. Now that we have suddenly returned, should we report to the headquarters?"”
Cao Changchen was already furious," We can't care so much anymore. Now that such a Chinese army has suddenly appeared in Xian County, they have already threatened the safety of our rear. If we don't eliminate them, our situation will become very dangerous.”
"If it's really as the telegram said, this Chinese army is not easy to deal with. Just the thousands of people under Sasaki may not be able to easily destroy them.”
"If any accidents happen again, we won't be able to bear the consequences!”
"Therefore, we must return to Xian County as soon as possible.”
"Ha Yi!"
Following Cao Changchen's order, the 16th division's 10,000 men immediately turned around and returned to Xian County.
