Heroes of the Anti-Japanese War

Chapter 256

By accident, Qian Xiaobao rushed out of the encirclement with a dozen Japanese soldiers who took two light machine guns and more than 100 hand grenades from the military warehouse before the explosion.

Qian Xiaobao looked back and saw that none of these people had a higher military rank than himself except Ogasawara.

Those officers did not dare to retreat without an order to retreat.

Another soldier was carrying a flag.Preserving the flag is crucial in this situation.According to the regulations of the Japanese army, if the military flag falls into the hands of the enemy, then when the army is rebuilt, the designation of this army will also be cancelled.

Qian Xiaobao carried Ogasawara on his back and followed the dozen or so people all the way north to Amu Gulang's Temple of the General, [-] kilometers away.

The headquarters of the newly formed Sixth Army of the Kwantung Army was located there.

Qian Xiaobao stayed in the Baershagar camp where the gunfire was raging for several days, and just experienced another fierce battle, and now he is still a little uncomfortable walking on the quiet grassland.

"The sound of the artillery can no longer be heard, and it is at least thirty or forty miles away from the battlefield." Ogasawara said.

The last time the Japanese army did not dispatch planes and tanks at Zhanggufeng, it relied entirely on the [-]th Division to fight recklessly, basically fighting the Soviet army evenly.

But this time the tank detachment and the aircraft wing were dispatched and were defeated by the Soviet army.

Exhausted, Qian Xiaobao took Ogasawara on the grassland for a whole day before arriving at the Temple of the General.

Now the general temple has become a mess.Commander Dizhou Libing has already asked the Kwantung Army headquarters for help, but most of the Japanese troops are in mainland China and cannot be dispatched.It will take some time for the several divisions in Manchuria to arrive here.

Now I can only watch tens of thousands of Soviet troops surround more than 1 Japanese troops.

Qian Xiaobao sent Ogasawara to the field hospital in the Temple of the General to recover from his injuries, while he himself was left alone, wandering around the Temple of the General with several other Japanese soldiers who rushed out of the Temple of Ganzhuer.

He and Ogasawara arrived at Ganzhuer Temple during the daytime on the [-]th.In the evening, I rushed out from the Ganzhuer Temple and walked all day to the General Temple.

It is now August 23rd.At night, Qian Xiaobao got the news: the Soviet army had completely surrounded more than 1 Japanese troops inside.

More than 1 Japanese troops can still rush out if they break through after dark.But no one dared to issue such an order.

To retreat is to flee, to admit defeat and to admit defeat.

The first thought of all Kwantung Army executives is to counterattack, that is, jade pieces!Destroy the Soviet army with a life-and-death charge.

The Soviet army has tanks, aircraft and cannons, and we have the invincible bushido spirit!
But reason tells them that the situation is not good now, and the Japanese army is likely to lose completely.

"The situation is urgent and I have to report to the headquarters of the Kwantung Army immediately!" Major General Tetsuo Fujita, chief of staff of the Sixth Army of the Kwantung Army, left the General Temple in a car after saying this.

"Coward!" Kwantung Army Headquarters combat staff officer Tsuji Masanobu scolded.

The logistical support at the headquarters of the Sixth Army is much better than that at the Balshagar position.What's more, the logistics supplies couldn't be delivered at all, and it was cheaper for these people who stayed behind.

Qian Xiaobao was eating rice and dealing with a sardine in the can in front of him.He had already eaten a box of such canned food just now.

A major in his 30s walked up to him and said a few words in Japanese with a smile and bowed his head.

Seeing a major standing in front of him, Qian Xiaobao hurriedly stood up and saluted.

A lieutenant following Shao Zuo said to Qian Xiaobao in Chinese: "This is Lieutenant Masanobu Tsuji. He asked, are you the warrior who led a dozen people out of the encirclement of Gan Zhuer?"

"It's me, sir!" Qian Xiaobao replied standing at attention.

Masanobu Tsuji put his hand on Qian Xiaobao's shoulder appreciatively and said with emotion: "It would be great if every Manchukuo soldier was like you!"

This time the battle also involved Manchukuo troops.But they were defeated in front of the Soviet army and had no combat effectiveness.

"The cowards in the headquarters are either at a loss or have fled. I have found more than 30 people now. How about you enter the encirclement with us tonight?" Masanobu Tsuji said.

Tsuji Masanobu's official position is much higher than Qian Xiaobao's, but the staff officer sent by the Kwantung Army Command, strictly speaking, he cannot command anyone here.And in this situation, he doesn't want to use forceful orders.

Reason told him that it was not a good thing to bring a few resentful soldiers on a dangerous battlefield.

"Hi!" Qian Xiaobao replied standing at attention.This was his only correct answer at this time.

At night, Masanobu Tsuji set off with more than 30 soldiers and low-level officers he had collected at the headquarters.

His purpose was to go through the encirclement along the telephone line to find the No. 23 Second Regiment of the 70rd Division closest to the headquarters.

The Soviet soldiers did not understand the Japanese troops who were surrounded.Now they should have retreated to the east to break through, but now they have launched a strong attack to the east.

Isn't this hitting an egg against a rock?
This also caused the main force of the Soviet army to resist the Japanese attack in the east, and the number of Soviet soldiers behind the Japanese positions was very small.

More is to rely on tanks and armored vehicles to patrol back and forth.

Masanobu Tsuji led more than 30 people and had only a few brief encounters with small groups of Soviet troops on the way.

The Soviet soldiers saw that they were walking into the encirclement, so they did not continue to pursue them.

When more than 30 people rushed to the original position of the No.70 Second Regiment, there were dead people lying all over the position, and there was no one alive.

Intensive gunfire came from the southwest direction of the position.

"They're in the direction of the Hulustai River," said Tsuji Masanobu.

The Hulustai River is a tributary of the Halaha River.If you want to attack the Soviet army, you must cross the Hulustai River.

A group of people bowed their heads and walked forward cautiously.

The cat's waist is to narrow the target to avoid being turned by people, and the purpose of looking down at the feet is to prevent being tripped by the corpses that pop up from time to time.

Masanobu Tsuji stopped suddenly next to a dead body.

The red and yellow epaulets of the corpse had a silver star on their shoulders.It seems that his official position is the same as Masanobu Tsuji's as Major.

"This is Major Kunimoto, the lieutenant of the 72nd Regiment, my classmate from mainland China." Masanobu Tsuji said.

Major Kunimoto suffered several wounds on his chest and abdomen, apparently from fragments from the explosion.

Masanobu Tsuji silently took off the kettle and poured water carefully on Major Kunimoto's chapped lips.

"Major Tsuji Masanobu! Major Tsuji Masanobu!" shouted from a few meters away.

Tsuji Masanobu hurried over, and a second lieutenant lay dying on the ground.

"Harada, where is the military flag?" Masanobu Tsuji asked eagerly.

Lying on the ground was Second Lieutenant Harada, the flag officer of the No.70 Second Regiment.If the flag of the No.70 Second Regiment falls into the hands of the Soviet Army, the number of the No.70 Second Regiment will be cancelled.

With difficulty, Harada pulled out the folded military flag from under his body and handed it to Masanobu Tsuji.

This guy's injury is no longer necessary to be rescued.

Tsuji Masanobu looked at the two broken legs of Second Lieutenant Harada and thought.

He took the military flag and turned to look at the people behind him.Finally Masanobu Tsuji set his sights on Qian Xiaobao: "Be sure to send the military flag back to the headquarters!"

Although Qian Xiaobao didn't fully understand what Masanobu Tsuji said, he fully guessed what he meant.

"Hi!" Qian Xiaobao replied after taking the military flag.

　Whether Tsuji Masanobu's surname is Tsuji or Tsuji Masa is still unknown to me.Who knows tell me.
