Chapter 794: Black and White Assassination Team
The troops were at the gates of Qingdao, but had to stop the attack.
There are many factors involved and we have to obey.
Yu Xiaowan asked in confusion: "Brother Chu! Why could a hundred thousand volunteers to protect the country be defeated by a Class B division of the devil?"
Xiang Chu smiled bitterly and said, "What kind of volunteer army is this? It's just a bunch of bandits, hooligans, and refugees."
Liu Zhengxiong echoed: "They deliberately put people into the National Protection Army, so that no one would join the Eighth Route Army and the New Fourth Army to truly fight against Japan."
Yu Xiaowan nodded and said, "It seems that asking us to give up Qingdao and attack the Isogai Renfu Division is also intended to weaken our strength."
Xiang Chu smiled bitterly and said, "Everyone with a discerning eye knows this truth, but there is nothing we can do. Shima! Send a telegram to the detachment commander, the 5th and 6th battalions are preparing to move south to harass the Isogai Division."
Liu Zhengxiong said anxiously: "I will lead the fifth and sixth teams over there."
Xiang Chu nodded and said, "Okay! The Chief of Staff will lead the troops south."
"Yes!"
Shima hurriedly accepted the order.
Qingdao North, Danshan.
Liang Chuxue led four teams, 1, 2, 3 and 4, here.
Now each brigade has 5,000 people, which is definitely a strong and powerful force.
The soldiers of the Langya Detachment fought bravely forward, and the sound of gunfire resounded throughout Jiaozhou Bay.
The Japanese soldiers, who had been living a life of luxury in Qingdao city for a long time, were no match at all and were defeated as soon as they came up.
Liang Chuxue said arrogantly: "Old Yang! We are advancing quickly. This time we can completely wipe out the Akiyama Brigade, rush into Qingdao and drink beer, and let the political commissar envy us in the park."
Yang Jiang nodded and said, "We also need to rob the devil's bank and let the political commissar use the money to purchase new weapons and equipment. We will recruit more people and drive all the devils out of Shandong."
Liang Chuxue laughed loudly and said, "Xiang the brat led the 34th Army to beat Okamura Ningchi in Hunan, and now he has formed a Langya detachment, which will definitely beat Duo Tianjun to a pulp. Haha!"
Yang Jiang smiled and said, "If we take Qingdao, it will surely shock the world, and you will receive another Cloud Banner Medal."
Liang Chuxue waved his hands and said, "No! I don't want anything from that reactionary leader even if you kill me!"
At this time, the radio operator came forward with the telegram and reported loudly: "Captain! The political commissar called and said that the headquarters asked us to stop attacking Qingdao and go south..."
"Try not to read the message when fighting in the field. Let me read it myself."
Liang Chuxue interrupted the radio operator, took the telegram from his hand and took a look at it. He was so angry that he was speechless.
Yang Jiang came forward to check and said anxiously: "Isn't this ridiculous? How could a hundred thousand volunteers defending the country be defeated by a single division of the devils? The White Party clearly doesn't want our Langya Detachment to achieve such a great feat."
Liang Chuxue said helplessly: "Forget it! Let's withdraw. Inform the political commissar and agree that the chief of staff will lead the fifth and sixth battalions to the south to harass the Japanese Isogai Division."
"Yes!"
The radio operator hurriedly received the order.
Yang Jiang sighed, "The opportunity to recover Qingdao has been lost, alas!"
Qingdao North, Licun Street.
Doihara Kenji led the spearhead company and rushed here first.
Yamashita Yoshiaki saw a Specie Bank and shouted happily:
"Quick! Go in and rob the Japanese of their money."
Takahashi Taisho said thoughtfully: "Deputy Company Commander! How do you know the Japanese characters?!"
Yamashita Yoshiaki said angrily: "I have nothing to do with the Japs. I only like money."
Doihara Kenji had already rushed into the bank and started filling a sack with money, saying as he did so:
"Brothers! Take back all the money from the devils and use it to help the poor people."
At this time, Zang Dong led the troops and rushed over, saying helplessly:
"Captain Zang! Our superiors have ordered us to withdraw. We need to withdraw as soon as we have loaded the money."
Doihara Kan'er cried out: "Why withdraw the troops when the battle is going well?"
Zang Dong said unhappily: "Obey orders!"
"Yes!"
Doihara Xianer reluctantly accepted the order, stuffed a handful of Japanese yen into Zang Dong's pocket, and said with a smile,
"Brother-in-law! This is my gift for marrying the fat girl."
Zang Dong stuffed the Japanese yen into the big sack in the hands of Shanxia Jiqiu and said with a smile: "Captain Zang! Soldiers of the Eighth Route Army are not allowed to keep spoils of war privately. Also, you cannot marry a fat girl unless you are promoted to regimental commander."
Doihara Kan'er was shocked and said, "Ah?! There is such a rule?"
Zang Dong patted his shoulder affectionately and said, "Good brother! You guys, the sharp knife company, take all the money from this bank back. Remember! No one is allowed to keep it privately."
"understand!"
Doihara Kenji happily obeyed the order and felt that the fat girl was waving at him.
The troops of the Langya Detachment swept through the northern part of Qingdao like a gust of wind, and the fastest advancing ones had already reached the Fushan line.
If there had not been an order to retreat, they would have swept southward across the entire peninsula.
Tieshishi Hutong, Peking.
The office of the commander of the Japanese North China Front Army.
Commander Tada Shun said angrily: "This Akiyama Yoshikatsu, I have only been here for a month and he has already lost cities and territory. Now he wants me to send reinforcements. He is such a good-for-nothing."
His attendant, Nakamura Jiro, consoled him, "Commander-in-chief! The Langya Detachment has 50,000 men, while the Akiyama Brigade only has over 10,000 men. We are definitely no match for them."
Tada Shun waved his hands and said, "Impossible! The China Langya Detachment has only been established for more than a month, how could it develop so quickly? What about the Empire's navy? Why didn't they send troops to stop the Langya Detachment?"
Nakamura Jiro responded: "All the Marines in the Navy have been requisitioned to urgently transport important supplies onto the ship. How can they fight the enemy? Besides, they are no match for the Langya Detachment."
Tada Shun said helplessly: "Send the Anami Geometric Division to quickly rush from Tianjin to Qingdao by boat to specifically wipe out the Chinese Langya Detachment."
Nakamura Jiro smiled bitterly and said, "Commander-in-chief! I don't understand why Anan was promoted to division commander in North China after suffering a great defeat in Xiangbei?"
Tada Shun scolded, "Nakamura Jiro! This is not something you can ask about."
Nakamura Jiro bowed 90 degrees and apologized, "Commander! Nakamura knows he was wrong."
Tada Shun waved his hand and said, "Immediately call the Army Aviation and send a flight squadron from Jinan to bomb the Chinese Langya Detachment that is attacking Qingdao."
"Hello!"
Jiro Nakamura hurriedly accepted the order.
Qingdao, Pier 3.
After sending his wife on board, Yoshikatsu Akiyama was wondering whether he should go with her.
At this time, Nagano Kaiji ran up to him and said happily:
"Your Excellency, the Brigade Commander! The Chinese Langya Detachment has suddenly withdrawn."
Akiyama Yoshikatsu said in astonishment: "Withdraw, withdraw? Really?"
Nagano Kaiji nodded and said, "Absolutely true! In addition, Commander Tada is going to send Anami's division to assist our army in repelling the Langya Detachment. Should we inform them that the Langya Detachment has withdrawn?"
Akiyama Yoshikatsu smiled mysteriously and said, "No need to say anything! Let Anan Geometry Division come over."
Nagano Kaiji said with a grin, "I understand!"
Akiyama Yoshikatsu asked with a smile: "Nagano-kun! We applied to the Ministry of Internal Affairs to send an expert to assassinate the deputy commander of the Langya detachment. Has the assassin come?"
Nagano Kaiji nodded and said, "The Ministry of Internal Affairs agrees to send the Black and White Assassination Team that travels across the Great Wall and North China. They will arrive in Qingdao soon to assassinate Yang Jiang."
Akiyama Yoshikatsu said with satisfaction: "Yoshi! The Black and White Assassination Team hides during the day and moves at night, appearing and disappearing at will, assassinating countless Chinese high-ranking officials and generals who oppose the empire, and they have never failed. Yang Jiang! This time you will definitely die."
"Boom! Boom!"
From the north came the sounds of planes roaring and heavy aerial bombs exploding.
Nagano Kaiji added: "This is a bomber sent by the Army Aviation from Jinan, specifically to bomb the China Langya Detachment."
Akiyama Yoshikatsu said excitedly: "Yoshi! Order all our troops to move north quickly and pursue the Chinese Langya Detachment."
"Hello!"
Nagano Kaiji hurriedly accepted the order.
