Faced with his subordinates' anxious questions, Hideji Yamada himself actually had no idea.

Thinking about the suffering he and his subordinates had endured for many days, the Japanese officer became more and more hateful.

Unable to resist swearing, the commander of the baggage brigade decided to let the large group find a place to avoid the wind and snow.

However, as luck would have it, good fortune never comes alone, and misfortune never comes alone. Just as they were planning to retreat to a valley to the north of their original location... in the vast snow and wind, a large and fast-moving force seemed to appear vaguely.

Yosi, after waiting for so long, the Chinese transport troops have finally arrived?
Seeing this large army approaching quickly, Yamada Hideji was just feeling happy when he suddenly realized that something was wrong.

That's not right. The one who came here to meet them was a transport team, and their superiors told them that they should bring a lot of supplies...

According to common sense, the troops transporting supplies cannot move so fast - even with the help of machinery, it is unlikely to do so in such deadly weather...

This fast-moving force, on the contrary, seems to be
A sudden attack from a cavalry unit!
"Enemy attack, enemy attack - be prepared, be alert, be prepared,"

Facing the wind and snow, the unfortunate fellow's voice showed great fear for the first time.

You have to know that these soldiers came from the relatively warm Hiroshima and were not adapted to the relatively warm Jilin. The harsh conditions in Siberia were even more deadly for them.

Moreover, in order to meet the Jilin army that came to deliver supplies, they waited in this freezing cold weather for three full days... Who would have thought that during this time of snowstorm, they would be attacked by unknown cavalry!

In the severe cold, everyone's reaction speed was slow, but after all, they were the strictly trained Kwantung Army. At the first command from the commander, the soldiers picked up their guns and were about to aim -

The cavalrymen on the opposite side have already fired their guns.

"Hit me! Hit me hard..."

Yamada Hideji's voice was filled with despair, but he still raised his gun with difficulty and aimed to shoot in the blizzard that was strong enough to sweep across the sky and earth...

But the terrible thing was that many soldiers found that the bolts of their Type 38 rifles were frozen due to the extreme cold and the sudden snow.

Many unlucky soldiers were shot down by this cavalry that came from nowhere before they even had time to fire the first shot.

Yamada Hideji roared loudly, looking for cover, concentrating his fire, etc.

But under the charge of the cavalry, his baggage soldiers had almost no power to resist, and their formation was immediately broken up, turning them into scattered soldiers who had no combat effectiveness at all.

The battle lasted only an hour, and the unfortunate baggage train was beaten to pieces, leaving only the commander Yamada and a dozen soldiers to escape in panic.

The entire baggage train was dead and only these remnants were left. Fukushima Yasushige was so angry that he almost overturned the table.

He pulled out the horsewhip and almost whipped Yamada Hideji, who had escaped, into a spinning top. If Tanaka Yoshiichi hadn't held him down, he might have been beaten to death on the spot.

Raising his hand and waving at the unfortunate guy who was screaming, Tanaka Yoshiichi sneered twice: "Even if we beat him to death, will it be of any benefit to the war situation of the empire?"

Fukushima Yasushi was so angry that he felt dizzy and his head was swollen. "What do you mean by driving force? Tanaka-kun, can't you see that these idiots are ruining the future of our imperial army?"

"So far, the situation on the front line is improving rapidly. We are making breakthroughs all the way and I'm afraid we will soon reach the Baikal region!"

"It's all these empire's trash, they..." Fukushima Yasushige was getting angrier and angrier as he spoke, and he cursed the unfortunate Yamada from his ancestors to his descendants -

However, Tanaka Yoshiichi remained unmoved. His iron-blue face was covered with a few traces of cold smile. He silently folded his elbows and examined his colleagues.

It was this excessive calmness, even a somewhat gloomy and cold atmosphere, that made Fukushima Yasushige calm down little by little.

"You...Tanaka-kun?"

When the other party hesitated, Tanaka Yoshiichi suddenly sneered and laughed happily at him:

"Fukushima-kun, judging from this incident, I think you are a little confused about the situation."

Without waiting for the other party to question him, he continued speaking in a tone that was almost indifferent and contemptuous.

In his opinion, the arrival of this group of cavalry - cavalry with very Soviet characteristics - was indeed a bit strange.

In order to ensure the safety of supplies, the rendezvous point they agreed upon with the Jilin army was not in any important strategic location, and was not even on a major transportation route.

According to Yamada's description, these cavalrymen were heading straight for the baggage train as if someone was pointing the way for them...

That would have been fine. Judging from their numbers, the war horses and the weapons they were equipped with, they were almost all aimed at the baggage train.

Moreover, they ran away as soon as the harvest was completed, without any intention of wasting time: this made the overly calculating conspirator Tanaka Yoshiichi think that the coincidence was so great that it was almost "intentional".

With his reminder, Fukushima Yasumasa suddenly came to his senses: "Could it be that this was deliberately done by Jiang Cheng, that despicable and shameless guy!?"

Tanaka Yoshiichi's eyes condensed into a sinister cold light: "It is still unknown at the moment, but..."

Before he could finish his words, a messenger shouted a report at the door of the headquarters, and then came in to report that Zhang Xuecheng and Jiang Dengxuan, the commander-in-chief of the Chinese side of the Northern Expeditionary Army, had arrived in Vladivostok.

The two highest commanders of the Japanese army immediately exchanged glances.

After taking over the Vladivostok area, Jiang Dengxuan chose to withdraw from the area on his own initiative and set up camp in a plain area far away from here, without even the slightest intention of trying to grab the credit.

What are they going to do here at this time?
After all, they are currently the "allies" of the alliance, so Tanaka Yoshiichi still allowed them to come.

Soon, the two young officers arrived and brought good news: the first batch of quilts, cotton clothes, charcoal and other things are all in place, please come and receive them.

The surprise was so sudden and unexpected that even the usually vicious Tanaka Giichi was happy.

After all, as the weather gets colder, it becomes more and more difficult for the Japanese army to fight... Now that the warm winter clothes have finally arrived, how can they not be happy?
However, before he could even express his gratitude, the Marshal's nephew pouted and complained that he couldn't even find the person to help him at the designated location, and that you friendly forces were too unreliable.

They had to run all the way from the original rendezvous point to Vladivostok. It was freezing cold and snowing. It was all thanks to me, Commander-in-Chief Jiang, otherwise things would have been very troublesome.

But Zhang Xuecheng had studied in a Japanese military academy and spoke fairly fluent Japanese, which made the two old devils pale. (End of this chapter)
