457 The Japs Want to Escape
Just as the Japanese 232nd Regiment was fighting with tens of thousands of militia soldiers inside and outside Wenzhou city at night.
Zhou Xinghai was also leading his men to provide reinforcements overnight.
“Hey, the fight is going pretty well over there Chief of Staff.
It seems like it can be done without us.”
Zhou Xinghai also laughed when he received the telegram from Wenzhou.
Although the militia in Wenzhou City had no artillery support, they were outnumbered.
At this moment, there were six militia groups with more than ten thousand people gathered in and outside Wenzhou city.
It should be no problem to defeat a Japanese regiment of only 3,000 people.
However, just in case, Zhou Xinghai continued to lead the team and rushed over.
Because Zhou Xinghai didn't forget.
At this time, there was a Japanese aircraft carrier fleet on the sea, and we had to prevent the Japanese who came ashore from escaping.
We must also be on guard against the Japanese aircraft carrier fleet joining the battle.
Time passed quickly and it was around three in the morning on the 6th.
At the Japanese command center, Takano Atsuo was still anxiously waiting for news from inside and west of the city.
All the troops in his hands have been sent out.
However, the sound of gunfire from inside and west of the city is still continuing.
There was no sign of stopping at all, which made Takano Atsuo completely numb.
Moreover, the 233rd Regiment has not been contacted yet.
Although Takano Atsuo was extremely reluctant to admit it, the reality was that the 233rd Regiment he sent to attack Ye Qingshan's Arsenal might be in danger.
"How is it possible? How on earth did the Chinese do it?
Rely on those Chinese militias?
Impossible, I don’t believe it.”
Takano Atsuo roared to the sky, he could not accept such a result.
This battle shouldn't be like this.
It shouldn't be like that. After he led his troops to land, he successfully captured Wenzhou City and destroyed Ye Qingshan's arsenal and airport in the mountains.
Then, it's time for the soldiers to party.
The people and merchants in Ye Qingshan's base are still very wealthy.
Shouldn't they all become targets for killing and looting, allowing them to make a fortune and then evacuate by boat?
Shouldn't this battle be his chance to achieve success and become famous?
Why is everything now so different from what was expected?
Takano Atsuo's expression became more and more ferocious, scaring the other Japanese officers around him so much that no one dared to approach him.
"Brigade Commander!"
Suddenly, there was a shouting outside.
A Japanese major was covered in wounds and had to be supported to come over.
When Takano Atsuo saw that this person was one of his trusted officers, he immediately rushed over to support the other person.
He asked loudly, "Major Hisamoto, what is the situation in the battle west of the city?"
The injured Japanese officer looked at Takano Atsuo with a sad face and said, "Your Excellency, Brigade Commander, we have been fooled.
Ye Qingshan’s base was not empty.
He still has more soldiers hidden.
The reinforcements coming from the west of the city were definitely not the Chinese militia, but their regular army.
Moreover, there are a lot of people.
When the Second Battalion arrived at the west of the city, they were surrounded by them.
There are too many enemies and their firepower is too strong, so we can’t get out at all.”
Listening to the words of his trusted officer, Takano Atsuo's head suddenly started buzzing.
He had thought about this possibility before.
However, this outrageous idea was suppressed by Takano Atsuo as soon as it popped into his mind.
But now, the truth was before Takano Atsuo, and he had no choice but to believe it.
"What about now? What's the situation now?"
Takano Atsuo pulled the other person up and continued asking.
"Fortunately, the Third Brigade arrived in time to provide support, and the Second Brigade has already been brought out to support us."
When Takano Atsuo rushed out of the command center, he saw a group of miserable Japanese soldiers fleeing back from the southwest.
These devils who escaped back in a panic no longer had the arrogance and arrogance they had when they came.
Behind them, there were many wounded Japanese soldiers.
“Takano-kun, the situation in Ye Qingshan’s base is obviously inconsistent with our intelligence.
Ye Qingshan actually hid so many soldiers and horses.
Now the 233rd Regiment may have been annihilated or besieged in the mountains to the west.
We either ask for tactical guidance or we move in."
At this time, the Japanese major general in the military observation group could no longer bear it.
At this critical moment, he had to say something.
After all, this time they and Takano Atsuo are in the same boat.
If, by any chance, Takano Atsuo were defeated in Ye Qingshan's base in this battle, they would also be in trouble.
At this moment, the Japanese officers of the observation group who had originally wanted to come here to take advantage of the battle were feeling extremely disgusted.
This time I followed here, but I didn't get any military merit, and now I'm in danger of not being able to go back.
This is simply a case of losing the rice while trying to gain the chicken, and they are feeling extremely regretful.
However, it's too late to say anything now.
The most important thing is to persuade Takano Atsuo to retreat immediately.
As long as they retreated to their warships at sea, the generals of the observation group would be safe.
As for the responsibility for the defeat, what does that have to do with them?
Anyway, this battle was commanded by Takano Atsuo, and they were just here to watch.
Even if we lose the war, it won't be their fault.
However, if they do not withdraw now, they would be in great trouble if they were surrounded by the Nationalist army later.
Faced with the suggestion of the Japanese major general of the observation group, Takano Atsuo frowned and said nothing.
Just run away in such a miserable manner?
Takano Atsuo would never give up.
But what else can I do if I don't leave?
"Damn Special High Police, damn Matsui Iwane, you guys are killing me!"
At this time, Takano Atsuo also implicated the Special Higher Police and Matsui Iwane in his anger.
He felt that the Special High Police's intelligence was unclear and that Matsui Iwane had fallen into Ye Qingshan's trap, which led to his current situation.
Boom boom boom!
Da da da!
Just when Takano Atsuo was hesitating.
Fierce gunfire was heard from the southwest, and soon a Japanese soldier came running over, shouting in fear: "Sir, the Chinese are attacking us.
There are Chinese everywhere, please turn inside."
"Quick, protect the brigade commander and move him in."
Seeing this opportunity, the officers of the Japanese observation group behind immediately stepped forward and pretended to protect Takano Atsuo, shouting loudly.
Command other Japanese officers and soldiers to retreat immediately.
So, before dawn, Takano Atsuo led the half-crippled 232nd Regiment and fled in a panic towards Longwan in the east.
The Japanese generals of the military observation group were preparing to withdraw to Longwan and contact the Akagi aircraft carrier at sea to assist their evacuation.
"Damn it, the devils got away again."
By the time the militia soldiers from the west of the city caught up, the Japanese had already run away.
This makes them very angry.
"Continue the pursuit. The brothers of the Eighth Regiment have arrived at the northern foot of Daluo Mountain and blocked the enemy's passage to Longwan.
The devil can’t escape.”
The Chief of Staff arrived and said with a sneer.
Thus, a battle royale began.
As for the commander of the 232nd Regiment of the Japanese Army and hundreds of other Japanese soldiers who were still trapped in Wenzhou City.
At this time, Takano Atsuo was completely unable to take care of anything.
