Chapter 195: Inoue Yu was driven crazy by two telegrams
At the same time, Chen Feng also saw through the telescope that the Japanese artillery movements were very agile.
They operated four Type 92 infantry guns and turned their muzzles towards themselves.
Chen Feng shouted "Run", pulled up Zhang San who was bragging, and ran down the hill quickly.
Their war horses were tied to a big tree at the foot of the hill.
Without saying a word, Chen Feng went under the tree and mounted the horse with Zhang San.
There was no time to untie the horse's reins, and Chen Feng directly drew out his saber.
He first cut Zhang San's horse reins, then cut his own, and then the two of them started to gallop on their horses.
He had just run less than fifty meters when the shell of the Type 92 infantry gun of Lan County exploded on the hill.
The Japanese attacked quite ruthlessly, firing two rounds at high speed.
Then two more rapid shots followed, hitting the place where they had just tied the horses.
At this time, Chen Feng's face turned pale. If the two of them hadn't run fast enough.
Just these sixteen shells were enough to wipe out the two of them.
At this moment, the Japanese artillery shells seemed to have eyes and exploded two hundred meters behind them.
They immediately turned around and rode away on horseback, but the Japanese artillery shells exploded twice again.
Until the two of them ran out of the range of the Type 92 infantry gun.
The Japanese infantry artillery was finally completely silenced.
Zhang San looked back nervously and found that there was really no movement.
Then he jumped off the horse, found a big rock, and sat on it.
Zhang San suddenly laughed and said, "Chen Feng, do you think I am too lucky to have defeated the Emperor's brother-in-law?
Otherwise, how could we be chased and hit by their artillery with shells? "
Chen Feng said: "What good things are you thinking about, the emperor's brother-in-law?
The Japanese were well prepared and had already calibrated all the parameters for their artillery.
After their artillery discovered the target, they calculated the time it took us to escape.
Just blast them one section at a time."
Zhang San said disdainfully: "You're talking too much about the Japs. Why did you let us run away?"
Chen Feng said: "Do you think the Japanese don't want to kill us?
They probably didn't determine our correct position at the first time.
So their artillery fired a few seconds late.
At the same time, we didn't expect that there were only two of us and we had horses to ride.
It was precisely because of this time difference that we did not appear at the point where they fired.
But their artillery was too wasteful, firing more than 30 shells to deal with the two of us."
Zhang San thought for a while and said, "I wonder if they are warning us.
What the devils mean is that they not only have a lot of artillery shells, but they also fire in a very deliberate way, so they want us not to provoke them?"
You know what, the two brothers just stared at each other and said something.
He really guessed the whole story almost exactly.
What the Fourth Division means is: I am very powerful, I don’t want to mess with you, and you don’t come to mess with me.
After the two of them had rested enough, Chen Feng said, "How about it, Mr. Zhang, have you had enough fun this time?
Let's hurry back to Sandaowan now, maybe we can catch a fierce battle!"
Zhang San hesitated and said, "Oh, my dear Brother Chen, you don't know this.
My heart has been beating wildly since I came out in the morning.
I always feel like something important is about to happen.
Brother Chen Feng, we can't leave. I just want to wait here. Something big is bound to happen."
I didn't expect that Chen Feng, such a stubborn person, would actually agree to Zhang San's request.
Although he didn't know whether what Zhang San said was right or not.
But he had heard people say that people who had worked as snipers always had a special sixth sense.
So he made a half-believing and half-doubting decision to accompany Zhang San on this road and guard it for one night.
If they still found nothing by the next morning, it wouldn't be too late for them to go back.
What made Division Commander Inoue most unhappy was the second telegram in his hand.
It was sent to him by Commander Yoshio Shinozuka of the Taiyuan First Army Headquarters.
Commander Yoshio Shinozuka had no intention of blaming Division Commander Inoue for the loss of troops.
It was just a very tactful reminder to Inoue Yu.
"Your Excellency, the division commander, please keep the Emperor's sword in a safe place.
After all, that sword also represents the supreme honor of the Inoue family.
As for the regiment flags in the hands of your subordinates, you must deal with them first when the time is right."
"Damn it, this is contempt for my Inoue family, this is contempt for His Majesty the Emperor."
What does "the right time" mean?
What does "pre-processing" mean?
Isn't this a curse on Inoue Yu, that he will be defeated and killed, and his entire army will be destroyed?
Inoue Yu was so angry that he tore the two telegrams into pieces and threw them on the ground.
In fact, he really wronged Yoshio Shinozuka, a member of the Japanese First Army.
Everyone, including the Imperial Army, is really annoyed by this arrogant Inoue Yu.
But after all, he has a title and is related to the emperor.
If something really happened to him in Shanxi, not to mention the domestic forces, even the Kwantung Army would not let him go.
The 39th Division that came here for "training" was, after all, a direct unit of the Kwantung Army.
It was the main force prepared for the battle in the north, how could it be lost just like that?
He mentioned the matter of the sword bestowed by the Emperor as a kind reminder.
If this imperial sword was really lost by Inoue Yu.
Yoshio Shinozuka may not be able to withstand the criticism from the Inoue family.
As long as I send this telegram, if you, Inoue Yu, lose the knife again, you can't blame me for not reminding you.
As for how to deal with the regimental flag, Yoshio Shinozuka still has some opinions.
When Inoue left Taiyuan, Yoshio Shinozuka reminded Inoue.
Let him leave all his regiment flags at the First Army Headquarters in Taiyuan.
But Inoue Yu was too arrogant and refused to follow the order.
He was unwilling to carry out the orders of the North China Expeditionary Army on the grounds that he belonged to the Kwantung Army's combat sequence.
From being so proud at first to being so ashamed now, Inoue Yu also lost face.
At this moment, Inoue Yu was really anxious.
Due to fuel shortage, they only took armored vehicles and tanks with them during this retreat.
Field guns and mountain guns were all pulled by draft horses. In order to save fuel for the armored forces, all cars were abandoned.
Due to inexplicable losses in the past two days, the 39th Division has lost two battalions.
And the remaining regiment is probably in great danger.
The loss of more than a hundred vehicles and the deaths of more than five thousand Imperial Army soldiers have given Inoue a huge headache.
Now, one of our Type A divisions had more than 28,000 people when it came to Shanxi.
Now it has shrunk to only more than 23,000 people.
Among them are also a large number of motor vehicle soldiers, artillerymen, logistics personnel, etc., all of whom are non-combat personnel.
I just heard the sound of gunfire behind me, but it stopped in less than half an hour.
Presumably, the regiment responsible for the rear guard had already blocked the pursuit of the Eighth Route Army.
I hope that in the end, they can try their best to get rid of the entanglement of the Eighth Route Army and come to join the main force of the 39th Division.
