"Sir, what should we do?" Taki Jiro looked around. There were only about 30 remaining Japanese soldiers left, and most of them could no longer fight. He could not help but say.
Ichiro Hirata smiled bitterly. What else could he do at this time? Of course, they would fight until the last moment. For Ichiro Hirata, if he, a lieutenant officer, surrendered to the enemy, even if he was released in the future, the Empire would laugh at him.
At the thought of this, Ichiro Hirata's expression darkened." What else can we do? Continue to fight until the last moment for the empire. We can't surrender. Besides, we're both lieutenant and major officers of the empire. Once he surrendered, he would be the last high-ranking officer to be captured in the imperial army stationed in Jinbei!”
As the two old devils reached a consensus, they gathered more than 30 Japanese soldiers who could still fight and lay down on the ground to shoot, trying their best to counterattack the surrounding Tiger Legion soldiers.
At this time, Li Congjing had already come down from the Grass Shoes Ridge. Seeing this, he sneered." Damn it, these devils really won't surrender!" Alright, pass on my order to the Japanese emperors who are so loyal to him. Leave no one alive. Kill!”
"Yes, sir!"
Soon, Wei Dayong, Luo Tong, Lin Dahai, and the others who had surrounded the remaining Japanese troops immediately concentrated their machine gun fire and fired bullets.
There were nearly 20 light and heavy machine guns that started killing the remaining Japanese soldiers from all directions. On the spot, Hirata Ichiro, who had been fighting until the last moment, was completely covered by the machine gun fire of the Tiger Legion.
The dense rain of bullets caused the old devil Hirata Ichiro and his adjutant, Tanaki Jiro, to bleed profusely on the spot.
The adjutant, Tanaki Jiro, was beaten into a sieve and died on the spot before he could even say a word. The remaining 30 or so Japanese were also beaten into a sieve. They did not even have the last chance to beg for mercy!
After a full minute, Li Congjing finally stopped firing.
"Haha, brothers, clean up the battlefield! Be careful, there might be ghosts playing dead!”Li Congjing waved his hand. He then remembered that when cleaning up the battlefield, some of the ghosts who pretended to be dead would hide in the stone piles of the battlefield. When the soldiers cleaning up the battlefield approached, they would pull the grenade and die together.
There were examples. Li Congjing, who had watched many documentaries and dramas all year round, naturally told the Tiger Legion soldiers who were cleaning up the battlefield to be careful, lest they were attacked by the Japanese.
Li Congjing strolled around the battlefield after the battle under Hu Zi's protection!
However, he had to clean up in case something happened to Wen Yu!
A few minutes later, Luo Tong, the second battalion commander of the Tiger Troop, rushed to Li Congjing and saluted,""Sir, it's Lei She's unit of the Imperial Association Army's 1st Battalion stationed in Pinglu County, and the original Heyuan Military Police that just entered Pinglu County yesterday. This guy is the captain of the Heyuan Military Police, Ichiro Hirata, and he's a lieutenant. This was Ichiro Hirata's adjutant, Taki Jiro Shaosu! This was Lei She, the commander of the 1st Battalion of the Imperial Association Army stationed in Pinglu County!”。
Li Congjing looked at the dead Imperial Association Army officers and Japanese officers that Luo Tong had people move over and piled them on the ground, and pointed them out one by one.
"Good, brothers, good fight! As expected, the Japanese and puppet troops of Pinglu attacked us. But how did the devils in Pinglu know that we were in the Black Cloud Stronghold?”Li Congjing was a little puzzled.
It was still Luo Tong who was meticulous. He chuckled and said,"Sir, we captured a few captives of the Imperial Association Army! According to separate interrogations, Ichiro Hirata had a spy lurking in Li Town. After we left Li Jia Town, the Japanese spy that Ichiro Hirata sent to Qian Bojun's troops took advantage of the time when we were not paying attention to the Jinsui captives and escaped before the handover with Chu Yunfei's troops. After returning to Pinglu County, he secretly promised Ichiro Hirata.”。
"That's why Ichiro Hirata knew that we occupied Xie Baoqing's bandit lair! In addition, after we chased Xie Baoqing out of the Black Cloud Stronghold, he went south and was captured by Ichiro Hirata's military police squad. After a round of torture, these bandits naturally gave us up.”
Li Congjing suddenly understood and nodded.""I see! No wonder the Japanese and puppet troops in the county town attacked so quickly. They attacked us at night when we were about to relax!”。
After a moment of fear, Li Congjing knew that if his sixth sense hadn't reminded him, it was really possible that the Japanese puppet army commanded by Ichiro Hirata had successfully attacked the Black Cloud Stronghold at night.
After all, at that time, Li Congjing did not expect that the few devils and the Imperial Association Army in Pinglu County would dare to attack the Black Cloud Stronghold at night.
"Sir! According to preliminary statistics, there were 309 Japanese soldiers in this attack. A total of 418 people under Lei She's command were killed, and more than 300 Type 38 rifles, several light and heavy machine guns, and a Type 92 infantry cannon were seized. Other than that, the rest were the old rifles used by the Imperial Association Army, some of which were manufactured by Yan Laoxi in Jin Province! There were less than 300 grenades! It seemed that the Japanese puppet army had thrown out too many grenades in their final struggle.”Luo Tong continued to report the results of the battle to Li Congjing.
Li Congjing nodded and asked,"" How many people will we sacrifice?"
"The battalions reported that we lost less than fifty brothers. The Japanese made their final struggle and still caused some casualties to our brothers!”Luo Tong said in a serious voice.
One could imagine that the combat power of the Japanese army could not be underestimated. Otherwise, Ichiro Hirata wouldn't have fought to the death!
"Send orders to the troops, if they encounter the Japanese army in the future, they will mainly attack the devils and the Imperial Association Army. The Imperial Association Army's fighting strength and willpower were not strong, but the Japanese were not. They were still very capable of fighting. Our goal is to kill the Japanese.”Li Congjing ordered.
Luo Tong and the rest nodded." Yes, sir!”
"Right, sir! According to the confession provided by the captured soldiers of the Imperial Association, the main force of the special agent team under Shinzuka Yoshina would arrive at Pinglu County under the command of Yamamoto Ichiki. If we didn't take advantage of the opportunity to kill the main force of the Japanese puppet army in the county town and send troops to attack Pinglu County now?”Luo Tong suddenly reported.
Li Congjing thought about it. Although Yamamoto Ichiki's special agent team only had more than 80 people, they had been trained in Tokugaku and were good at night battles, long-distance raids, and other special operations. Moreover, all of them were equipped with M3 submachine guns, which had strong firepower. The combat power of his troops was comparable to that of five ordinary soldiers. The combat power of the 80-plus Japanese special agents was not seen in the prisoner of war camp, but Li Congjing knew that Yamamoto Ichiki's special agent team was definitely not to be underestimated.
"Not yet. Yamamoto Ichiki's special agent team is very strong. If we send troops at this time, it will be considered as taking over Pinglu County. Yamamoto Ichiki could still move the Japanese infantry from Shuocheng, south of the county, north. It was meaningless! However, since Yamamoto Ichiki led the main force of the special agent team to enter the county at around midnight tonight, I'll give him a welcome gift!”Li Congjing suddenly looked at the dead bodies of Ichiro Hirata and the other Japanese officers on the ground and smiled slyly.
