Anti-Japanese War: I have unlimited assistance

Chapter 206 This is called professionalism.

The headquarters of the 4th Japanese Security Battalion in Shimen City.

Colonel Sanhao Zhou was instructing the cook to prepare lunch for Sekigahara Roku.

After all, Sekigahara Roku was a major general of the Type A division. He not only had to ensure the safety of the other party, but also had to properly take care of their food and daily life.

Don’t be fooled by the fact that Sanhao Zhou has more than 2000 people under his command.

but.

Troops need to be stationed at airports, railways, city defenses, highway checkpoints, and every village and town outside the city.

There simply aren't enough troops.

In other words, after recruiting a group of locust soldiers, the manpower was barely enough.

Fortunately, there has not been any serious attack near Shimen City. There are no main forces of the Chinese army or any guerrillas here.

In addition, with the protection of the guard squadron from the Imperial Guards Division, Sekigahara Roku's safety is guaranteed.

As long as he left the territory of Shimen, it would be none of his business whether Sekigahara Roku was attacked or not.

"boom--"

At this moment, a huge explosion like thunder came from the direction of the airport.

The sound of an explosion can be heard from far away in an unobstructed area.

It's a sunny day, and there's thunder?
"idiot?"

Colonel Sanhao Zhou was suddenly startled: "What's going on?"

The Japanese soldiers looked at each other, not knowing what had happened. Judging from the sound of the explosion, it was quite a big commotion.

Suddenly, Colonel Sanhao Zhou's face changed. Could it be that Major General Sekigahara Roku was attacked?

If something happened to Sekigahara Roku in his own territory, dismissal would be the least he could do.

Sanhao said to a staff officer on Monday in a hurried tone: "Find out what happened immediately!"

"Order, troops assemble immediately and follow me to support Major General Sekigahara!"

The troops that had gone to pick up Sekigahara Roku who had been driven back had not yet disbanded. Sanhao Zhou Yi immediately led the troops and drove towards the Dagu Village Airport in a small truck with murderous intent.

Sanhao touched the cheek that was slapped by Sekihara Roku on Monday, feeling complicated.

I was worried about Sekigahara Roku's safety, but I was also afraid that Sekigahara Roku wouldn't die.

As soon as they left the city, Sanhao Zhouyi and the Japanese soldiers heard loud explosions coming from the direction of Dagu Village Airport.

"Baga, the airport is being bombed, speed up!"

About 10 minutes later, Colonel Sanhao Zhouyi led more than 400 Japanese devils to the position where the Blade Commando ambushed Sekigahara Roku.

The convoy slowly stopped. Sanhao Zhou was sitting in a Type 93 armored vehicle and had no idea what was going on.

A moment later, a Japanese captain with a grim expression quickly ran to the armored vehicle and reported to Sanhao Zhouyi, "Report to the Colonel, Major General Sekigahara's convoy was ambushed and all of them have been killed..."

"Nani?"

Sanhao Zhou Yi was suddenly startled, opened the door with a questioning look, and got off the Type 93 armored vehicle.

Everyone dies in glory?

Sanhao's first reaction on Monday was that this was impossible, absolutely impossible.

The Imperial Guards Division is a permanent Type A division and one of the seven earliest divisions established in Japan. It is a force to protect the locusts. The quality of its soldiers and equipment are the best, comparable to the Imperial Guards of the Qing Dynasty.

Sanhao Zhouyi was very clear about the value of the Guard Company of the 1st Regiment of the Imperial Guards Division.

The combat effectiveness of this guard squadron is comparable to that of an infantry battalion of a second-line division. It has only been a dozen minutes, how could they all be destroyed?

Even if the guard squadron is ambushed by an enemy regiment and is overwhelmed, it can still hold out until reinforcements arrive, right?

If it were a head-on confrontation, this guard squadron could easily defeat a main Chinese regiment.

While he was thinking, Sanhao Zhou Yi had already arrived at the front of the convoy. At this time, the soldiers of the security brigade had spread out to both sides of the road to provide alert.

However, the scene that came into his eyes made Colonel Sanhao Zhou Yi stunned.

The crater stretched over 200 meters. Almost all the Type trucks and Type armored vehicles were blown to pieces. The corpses and broken limbs of the Locust Army were everywhere. The air was filled with a nauseating, rich smell of blood...

"Major General Sekigahara Six?"

Sanhao Zhou Yi shouted loudly and ordered in a hurried tone:
"Hurry and find Major General Sekigahara."

Soon, a soldier found Sekigahara Roku's head on a Type 93 armored vehicle that had been severely damaged by the explosion.

Seeing this scene, Sanhao Zhouyi's nose was almost crooked with anger: "Baga."

The Type 93 armored vehicle that Sekigahara Ryu was riding in was directly overturned by the explosives, and Sekigahara Ryu was shocked to death on the spot with bleeding from all seven orifices.

After the battle, Sekigahara Roku's body was dragged out, and his major general's uniform and sword were seized. After taking photos, Monk Wei suddenly chopped off Sekigahara Roku's head with a knife, and then put the other's head on the roof of the car.

From a distance, it looked like the head of the commander of a Japanese armored vehicle was sticking out.

Just then, a car roared in front, and Sanhao Zhou looked over.

An infantry squad responsible for protecting the airport came to reinforce by car. The Japanese soldiers who saw this scene changed their faces drastically.

"Report to the colonel, the telephone line has been found."

"Report to the colonel, some horse hoof prints and some mule carcasses were found in the woods over there."

Two Japanese squad leaders ran over quickly to report to Sanhao Zhouyi.

"Reporting to the colonel, the airport was attacked by enemy artillery fire, 6 aircraft were lost, and the runway was severely damaged. The squadron leader ordered me to provide reinforcements."

The team leader who came to support from the airport ran to Sanhao Zhouyi and reported with his head down.

This flurry of news left Sanhao Zhou Yi feeling dizzy. The entire Sekigahara Rokuwa Guard Squadron had been annihilated, and the airfield had been bombarded, with the loss of six aircraft – a devastating loss. But after some analysis, Sanhao Zhou Yi felt a chill run down his spine. This was a meticulously planned decapitation operation by the enemy.

The enemy's target was Major General Sekigahara Roku. They bombarded the airport only because they were afraid of being strafed and bombed by planes while they were running away.

"This is called professionalism."

Even though they were enemies, Sanhao Zhou Yi couldn't help but cheer for their ambush.

They buried a large amount of ammunition on the road beforehand, ambushed Sekigahara Roku's escort squadron in ten minutes, bombarded the airport, killed the mules, and retreated calmly on their horses. Although the enemy had a smaller number of troops, they were all top elite masters.

"Which direction did the enemy run from?"

"Report to the colonel, northwest direction."

"Baga, order the cavalry squadron to pursue immediately."

"Hi."

With such a big incident happening, it is certain that Sanhao will be punished and dismissed from his post on Monday, and he may even have to commit seppuku.

If we could kill these murderers, or even capture them alive, we wouldn't have to commit seppuku.

But the cavalry squadron was currently in a military camp outside Shimen City, and it would take quite some time for them to arrive.

Because of this time difference, the enemy had no idea where their horses had gone.

Then, Colonel Sanhao said with a sullen face: "Immediately notify the North China Front Command, inform them of what is happening here, and request that an aviation unit be dispatched to destroy the enemy."

"Hi." The Japanese staff officer lowered his head and quickly went forward to make arrangements.

……

Beiping.

The heavily guarded Iron Lion Alley.

No outsider dares to get close here. Once you dare to get even a step closer, dozens of snipers will secretly aim at you.

Japanese North China Front Headquarters.

Battle hall.

The Deputy Chief of Staff, Major General Machijiri Ryoki, and a group of Japanese officers were gathered in the operations hall waiting for news of victory.

Major General Machijiri Ryoki and a group of Japanese officers were all confident and sure of victory.

According to intelligence from a senior spy, the 8th National Army fighter jets that took off from Xi'an Airport today will intercept and shoot down the planes of Lieutenant General Kozuki Seiji and Major General Tanaka Takayoshi near Taiyuan, and attack Taiyuan New City Airport.

The machine guns and anti-aircraft guns at Taiyuan Xincheng Airport are ready, and the Japanese planes at the airport are ready to take off and fight at any time.

The 6th Flying Squadron following behind will suddenly attack and kill the Kuomintang fighter planes by surprise.

But as time passed, there was still no telegram from Taiyuan. Machijiri Ryoki looked at his watch from time to time with a puzzled look.

As the main person in charge of this operation, Machijiri Ryoki remained calm on the surface, but he had already smelled something unusual.

At this moment, General Terauchi Hisaichi, who had been waiting in the office for the good news, walked in with his hands behind his back.

"Your Excellency, General."

Machijiri Ryoki and a group of Japanese staff officers saluted Terauchi Hisaichi.

"Machijiri-kun, what's going on?"

Terauchi Juichi's expression was grim. He raised his hand to return the military salute and asked in a deep voice, "Should we destroy the Chinese Air Force?"

The Nationalist government did not have the ability to produce aircraft, and every plane shot down meant one less.

There are not many Kuomintang pilots who are more valuable than their planes. Killing one is one less.

Machijiri Ryoki's tone remained confident. "General, the victory report should be arriving soon. I'll have the communications department contact the First Army Headquarters and the 6th Flying Squadron immediately."

Terauchi Hisaichi nodded slightly.

At this moment, hurried footsteps were heard at the door of the Operations Hall. Everyone looked in the direction of the sound and saw the communications staff officer walking in quickly with a telegram in his hand.

Without noticing the expression on the communications officer's face, Machijiri Ryoki smiled faintly, "General, I think we've received victory reports."

But Terauchi Hisaichi noticed the grim expression on the communications officer's face.

Could it be that something happened to the 6th Flight Squadron?
"General."

"Deputy Chief of Staff."

The communications staff reported:
"A telegram from Colonel Sanhao, commander of the 4th Alarm Battalion stationed in Shimen City, Major General Sekigahara Roku..."

Machijiri Ryoki was a little disappointed. It turned out that this telegram was not sent from the First Army Headquarters or the 6th Flying Squadron?
"What happened to Major General Sekigahara?" Machijiri Ryoki asked casually.

I haven't realized the seriousness of the matter at all.

Terauchi Hisaichi and the Japanese staff officers standing by didn't care much. They only cared about whether the Chinese fighter planes and pilots were destroyed.

As for Sekigahara Roku, he is protected by the Imperial Guard Division's guard squadron, so what could happen?
"Major General Sekigahara and his guard squadron were ambushed on their way from Daguo Village Airport to Shimen City and were completely killed."

"The Daguo Village airport was bombarded, and the enemy, numbering about 50, fled on horseback toward the northwest of Shimen City."

"The Shimen City Cavalry Squadron has launched a pursuit. Colonel Sanhao requests the dispatch of the aviation unit to eliminate the enemy."

"His Majesty the Emperor is on board, and the Great Japanese Locust Army is on board."

After reading the telegram, the communications staff officer kept his head bowed, his eyes on his nose and his nose on his heart.

"What?" Machijiri Ryoki suddenly looked up. "Did Major General Sekigahara Sixth die in battle?"

"Machijiri-kun." Terauchi Hisaichi looked at Machijiri Ryoki with disbelief and asked in a deep voice, "What's going on?"
