Chapter 137 This is China's territory 1
Obof asked several of his men to go back and tell the division commander that he had decided not to continue escaping.
This made him feel that he had completely abandoned the honor of a samurai, and he decided to wash away his shame with his blood and life.
Obofu and his dozen or so remaining subordinates watched the horses going away in the woods on the hill, praying silently in their hearts that the letter could be delivered smoothly.
Then they mounted their horses and prepared for the final battle.
Obofu gently stroked his mount, with a gleam of determination in his eyes.
He knew that this would be the last battle of his life and his last dedication to his country and the emperor.
All the Japanese cavalrymen were clearly aware that they were about to face death, but they had no intention of retreating.
At this moment, they were no longer an army that could only flee, but a group of warriors determined to defend their dignity.
They wanted to sacrifice their lives to show the Chinese tanks that the Locust Army was not short of brave and fearless fighters.
"Kill them!" Obof let out a heart-wrenching cry, and his voice echoed in the air.
Immediately afterwards, dozens of Japanese cavalrymen rushed out of the woods on the hill like a whirlwind and charged towards the battlefield.
Their target was the armored regiment led by Tang Tian, who was slaughtering Japanese cavalry.
At this moment, they forgot their fear, forgot about life and death, and had only one belief in their hearts - to fight for the honor of a warrior.
Every Japanese cavalryman held his weapon tightly and charged at the tanks with a determined look.
They must use their courage and strength to let the world witness that the locust army does not just run away.
The charge of this small group of Japanese cavalry posed no threat to the armored regiment led by Tang Tian, which was slaughtering Japanese troops on the battlefield.
On the contrary, many tank crews that were in the mood for killing immediately changed direction and rushed towards the Japanese cavalry who dared to jump out and launch an attack in a desperate attempt to kill themselves.
The distance between the two sides was getting closer and closer. These T34 tanks did not fire their guns. They just wanted to use their tracks to crush to death these devils who had been plundering their land for so many years.
Just as the 6th Tank Regiment of the 2nd Armored Division was strangling these Japanese troops, Ryofu Uetsuki, who received the news, immediately mounted his horse again.
This time they no longer chose to go east or south, but instead ran all the way north. They now hoped to escape into the outer steppe area which was actually controlled by the Soviets.
Although Japan and the Soviet Union have declared war on each other, the non-aggression treaty signed privately between Japan and the Soviet Union is still in effect.
The Soviet Union has just stabilized the front line and started to fight back against the German army. Naturally, it does not want to have any more accidents with the Japanese in the Far East.
Although Shangyue Liangfu is only a lieutenant general, he is also a veteran who has fought on many battlefields and has a certain understanding and experience in military affairs and politics.
He knew that in this situation, wise decisions needed to be made to ensure the survival of the troops.
Therefore, Shangyue Liangfu proposed a bold plan: "We can use this vast grassland to quietly enter the outer grassland, and then move eastward."
"In this way, we may be able to avoid the enemy's pursuit. I believe those Chinese will not dare to enter the area actually controlled by the Russians! In this way, we can take the opportunity to find a chance to return to Manchukuo."
This proposal attracted the attention of other officers, and they began to discuss the feasibility of this plan.
After some debate, everyone finally agreed to Shangyue Liangfu's suggestion.
Although they know this may involve some risks, it seems to be the only option in the current predicament.
However, just as they were about to implement the plan, they suddenly received a depressing news - their last radio station was destroyed in an air raid!
This meant that they lost contact with the outside world and were unable to report their situation and plans to the expeditionary force headquarters.
Faced with this situation, Shangyue Liangfu felt very helpless. He realized that he could only rely on his own judgment and decision-making to lead the troops out of the predicament.
In any case, they must act quickly, otherwise the consequences will be disastrous.
At this point, if we continue to bring those chariots which are like a burden, it will affect the subsequent escape.
After the loud bang, the last dozen or so Japanese tanks were all destroyed by them. The last regular unit of the Mengjiang garrison rushed straight towards Outer Mongolia.
However, their actions were still seen by aerial reconnaissance planes. When the information that this Japanese cavalry rushed towards Outer Mongolia was sent to the headquarters of the 78th Army.
This caused quite a bit of controversy in the headquarters. In fact, the national government at that time did not recognize the independence of the outer grasslands, and legally it still belonged to China.
It was just that it was actually controlled by the Russians. After Xu Shuzheng cleaned up the grassland once, the subsequent Beiyang government and the later National Government did not show enough strength when facing some separatist grassland nobles supported by the Russians.
Now that half of the country has been occupied by the Japanese, they naturally have no energy to manage the outer grassland areas, so they tacitly accept the fact that the Russians are in actual control.
"Why can't we enter? Isn't that Chinese territory? Has anyone from the Qing Dynasty, the Beiyang government, or the current National Government acknowledged this?"
Wang Chun also knew the good intentions of Chief of Staff Shen Gouzi. What he meant was that they should not provoke the polar bear now. There were many people who shared the same idea as the Chief of Staff.
But it is different for Wang Chun, the later generation. If there were no earth-shaking changes in his era, it would be almost impossible to take back the land left by his ancestors. This is undoubtedly a great regret for the powerful China.
Or it is impossible in a short period of time. After all, these grassland people have become accustomed to being ruled by Tsarist Russia, and it is not easy to get them to return to the embrace of China all of a sudden.
However, if China can successfully overthrow the United States, then these grassland people may change their attitude and take the initiative to ask to return to China. Of course, this is just an assumption, and the actual situation may be more complicated.
In the end, it was the radical faction in Greater China that won, mainly because Commander Wang Chun had always supported entering the grassland in the name of pursuing the remnants of the Japanese army.
Doing so can not only test the reaction of the grassland people, but also see the attitude of Tsarist Russia.
In fact, no matter what the final result is, Wang Chun wants to give it a try.
He doesn't want history to repeat itself, and now he is willing to do it as long as it is beneficial to the motherland, even if it costs him his life.
In order to deal with possible accidents and conflicts, the 78th Group Army has made a number of contingency plans.
In fact, Wang Chun’s biggest reliance at this time was the 2-ton TNT equivalent nuclear bomb that the intelligent arsenal had just produced the day before yesterday.
Although it consumed a huge amount of attention, Wang Chun felt much more at ease now that he had it in his hand.
After the Second Armored Division received the news that it was about to enter the outer grassland, everyone from top to bottom, from the division commander Zhang Jiaqi to the ordinary soldier, fell into a strange state of excitement, as if they were possessed by a demon.
For them, this was not only a combat mission, but also an opportunity - an opportunity to make history.
Whether they succeed or not in the end, whether they are crushed to pieces or not, their names will be engraved in the long river of history.
The army headquarters gave them only one day to rest, but in fact, within five hours of receiving the order, this heroic force had already embarked on a new journey.
They completed the preparations with astonishing speed and efficiency, demonstrating the courage and decisiveness that soldiers should have.
Zhang Jiaqi stood on the command vehicle, looking at the soldiers lined up neatly outside the window, and a feeling of pride surged in his heart.
He knew that these soldiers were true warriors who were willing to sacrifice everything for their country and their people, and as their commander, he had the responsibility to lead them to victory.
"Comrades!" Zhang Jiaqi said loudly through the in-car communication system: "We are about to step into the outer grassland. This is our place of glory and our battlefield."
“No matter what lies ahead, we must move forward courageously and never retreat! Let us prove our worth with our actions and make our motherland and people proud of us!”
"Forward!" With Zhang Jiaqi's order, the Second Armored Division drove out of the camp like a steel torrent and headed towards the unknown outer grassland.
With wheels rolling and dust flying, this elite army, with firm conviction and fearless courage, stepped onto the historical stage that belongs to them.
