Unfortunately, they ran into the First Squadron, which had been waiting for a long time. Wang Dabao was already unhappy that he did not participate in the battle in Ping County, so how could he let the Japanese army go when they came?

The first squadron had fewer people than the Japanese battalion, but their firepower was much stronger, and they took advantage of the Japanese to launch a surprise attack when they were traveling at full speed.

The Japanese army entered the ambush circle, and the squadron's artillery company found the Japanese artillery squad and fired at it.

The mortar platoons of each company had already aimed at the enemy's trucks. After firing a barrage of shells, the enemy's trucks were blown up into the sky.

The Japanese infantrymen who were running breathlessly behind the truck heard the sound of artillery fire, their legs went weak and they fell to the ground.

"Fire!" Wang Dabao gave the order, and the soldiers started firing with their light and heavy machine guns and assault rifles.

Late in the night, a flash of fire suddenly appeared more than 100 meters on both sides of the road. It was the flame caused by the bullet leaving the gun.

The Japanese captain was lucky enough to survive by staying in the truck at the back. When he was awakened, the attack of the first squadron had already defeated the Japanese army.

"Turn around quickly!" The remaining Japanese soldiers heard the captain's order, forced themselves to run back with their weak legs, and wished their mothers had given them two more legs.

After Wang Ye received the telegram from the first squadron, he simply read it and put it aside. It was just a large group of Japanese invaders, so he was not worried.

Now he was thinking about the telegram on the table. "Commander, what do you think we should do?"

The chief of staff had never seen such a situation before, and he was a little confused. "What does the government want the devil's corpse for? Besides, in this weather, the corpse will stink when it arrives in Yudu, right?"

Zhao Gang looked at the telegram and was even more puzzled. "Captain, the meaning of the telegram is that if we have any requests, they can meet them.

What do you think they can pay?"

Wang Ye did not answer their questions, but placed the plain text telegram he had sent that night on the table.

"Look at this plain text telegram and think about what they mean?"

After the chief of staff carefully read the telegram sent by Wang Ye, he suddenly realized:

"I see. The problem lies in the last signature: Eighth Route Army Independent Battalion.

The entire Japanese division was wiped out. Under the current circumstances, such a record can definitely boost the anti-Japanese spirit of the Chinese people.

Such an important matter has nothing to do with the government, they will definitely not agree to it.

So they took the devil's corpse away just to show off their own merits!"

"Yes, that's what the government means!" Zhao Gang is very smart, but he has never seen such a thing before. It's unexpected that things on the battlefield can be done in this way.

"Comrade Wang Ye, what do you think?" The chief of staff wanted to hear Wang Ye's opinion.

Wang Ye asked with a smile, "Commander, does our Eighth Route Army have anything urgently needed? Take this opportunity to bite him hard!"

"Will the government be willing to do that?" The chief of staff didn't believe it.

"Commander, it's night now. The Japanese will definitely send someone to negotiate tomorrow morning. Their purpose is to get the bodies of these two Japanese back. Do you believe it?"

The bodies of Fujiwara no Nakayoshi and Uchida Ginnosuke represent their military achievements. Who wouldn't want them?

In order to cover up the truth about the destruction of the 20th Division, the Japanese were determined to obtain the bodies of Fujiwara Nakayoshi and Uchida Ginnosuke.

Haven’t you noticed that after every battle between the Japanese and the Nationalist government and the Eighth Route Army, the battle reports they released were different from those released by China?

The newspaper of the Eighth Route Army said that 800 people were killed, while the Japanese said that only 30 people died.

The Kuomintang newspaper said that a regiment of 5000 people was wiped out, while the Japanese newspaper said that only 89 people died in battle.

There is only one purpose.

Covering up their own death toll and trying desperately to downplay the strength of the Chinese troops,

So that the international community will think that the Japanese are powerful and the Chinese troops are not.

Therefore, the Japanese attached great importance to their corpses. When Shan Shanyuan received the telegram from the Army Headquarters, he was shaking with fear.

The entire division was wiped out as a whole. Even Yamasugi Gen, as a general of the empire, could not afford such a heavy loss.

At 12 o'clock in the night, no one could sleep, whether in North China or Central China, whether in the Japanese cabinet or the imperial palace.

Yamasugi Gen was so angry that he called Yoshio Yuzuka and said, "Commander Yuzuka, I have received calls from the commander-in-chief in China and the Minister of the Army.

Tomorrow morning you must contact the independent brigade and retrieve the bodies of Tengyuan Nakayoshi and Uchida Ginnosuke!"

Yuzuka Yoshio smiled bitterly, "Commander, all the troops supporting the 20th Division have retreated. What can we use to get the bodies of Fujiwara and Uchida at this time?

The damned independent battalion may give it to us!"

Shan Shanyuan said helplessly, "I have received the negotiation authorization from the Army Headquarters.

As long as you can bring back their bodies, I will allow you to make some concessions!"

"Commander, what do you mean...?"

"Just as you thought, the bodies of Fujiwara Nakayoshi and Uchida Ginnosuke represent the 20th Division. If their bodies are exposed,

The empire's international reputation will be damaged, and its combat capability will be questioned. This is something the empire cannot tolerate. Do you understand?"

"Hey!"

After Yuzuka Yoshio hung up the phone, he looked at the officers and staff at all levels in the headquarters who were as quiet as chickens and asked,

"The Imperial Army asked us to negotiate with the Independent Battalion and retrieve the bodies of Fujiwara and Uchida at all costs. Who do you think should be sent?"

Everyone in the command center looked at each other, who would go?

No one wants to go. If it were other troops, they would be fine. They would not be afraid of the devils.

But this independent battalion was really weird. The Empire only had more than 10 Type A divisions, all of which were elite divisions honed on the battlefield. Unexpectedly, they were wiped out by the independent battalion in less than half a month.

Such a powerful force was considered very brutal by their commanders and could not be provoked.

Seeing that no one spoke up, Yoshio Yuzuka's face slowly turned pale. Normally, he was so arrogant, but now he was so frightened by the guerrillas that he dared not say a word.

Tanaka Yoshinori thought for a long time and came up with a candidate. "Commander Yuzuka, I do have a candidate here, although he has never met the independent battalion.

But since the days of the Children's Corps, he has seen how strong this army is!"

"Oh, there is such a person in the empire, who is it?" Yoshio Yuzuka was surprised, why couldn't he remember it.

"Hashimoto Ryojo of Huting Stronghold in Ping'an County, when the 3rd Brigade attacked Daqingshan, it was from Huting Stronghold,

After the battle, he led the team to clean up the battlefield.

I believe he should have a clear understanding of the Independence Brigade!"

Whether he recognized it or not was up to Yoshio Tsukasa. The commander of the Totei base was at most a major.

As long as the order is given, would he dare not go?

"Give him an order to rush to Ping County overnight. The negotiators from Taiyuan will arrive soon.

Tell him that no matter what, the bodies of Fujiwara Nakayoshi and Uchida Ginnosuke must not leave the independent battalion!"
