Bright Sword: Koi, we have reached the enemy's base camp

"Hashida, you're finally back. Tell me, how did the negotiation go?"

Hua Gu looked at him and asked impatiently.

Lieutenant Colonel Hashida shook his head and said, "Commander, to be honest, I don't know what Tu 8 Lu means. When I told Wang Hao that the commander was going to use poison gas bombs, Wang Hao was obviously scared.

Then, he arrested me and locked me up, and only released me now. He didn’t even give me a reply, I really don’t know what he meant by that!”

"After hearing you say you were going to use poison gas bombs, he arrested you? And he didn't release you until now? What about our experts?"

"I don't know! I still don't understand what Wang Hao means."

Lieutenant Colonel Hashida was really wronged! Ever since he said he wanted to use poison gas bombs, Wang Hao stopped talking to him. He knew nothing!

Sure enough, Hua Gu became angry when he heard this.

"Bakayalu, you said you don't know anything, then what did you talk about?"

Lieutenant Colonel Hashida was horrified and shook his head, saying, "It's obvious that the negotiations have failed. Commander, how about we really fire two rounds of poison gas bombs? Otherwise, Wang Hao will never sit down and talk to us."

When Hua Gu heard this, he immediately became furious.

"Hashida, you've worked hard, go back and have a good rest. These things are not something you can control."

"Hi."

Lieutenant Colonel Hashida felt as if he had been pardoned. He quickly agreed and turned away.

As soon as Lieutenant Colonel Hashida left, Hua Gu immediately shouted, "Someone, go get Division Commander Inoue for me."

Soon, Division Commander Inoue came over.

When Hua Gu saw him, he immediately asked, "Inoue, I have given you the power now. Tell me, how is the battle going? When will our experts be able to come back?"

Inoue was speechless and said, "Commander, have you not figured out the situation yet? Are you still thinking about those experts' things?

Do you know that the outer city has been occupied by the Eighth Route Army? Even our warriors who were defending the outer city can’t come back.”

"Nani?"

Hua Gu stared at him with wide eyes, furious.

"Bakayalu, is this what you told me? I gave you the power, and this is what you gave me?"

Division Commander Inoue was also very angry.

"Then what can I do? Now that things have come to this, what do you want me to do? Send someone out to get it back? I'm sorry, if we do that, our entire army will be wiped out."

"You fart."

Hua Gu was immediately furious when he saw that he dared to speak to him like that.

"We have a division stationed here from Taiyuan, and there are only a few Tubalu. How could they be completely wiped out? I think you are just passively avoiding the battle."

"I passively avoid fighting? Well, do you know what the situation is outside now? You know nothing and can only daydream here. You are so powerful, why don't you come up with a solution!"

Division Commander Inoue shouted very loudly, showing no respect for the commander, Hua Gu.

Yes, no matter where they are, the troops worship the strong.

This guy Hua Gu really disappointed Inoue.

So, we are all lieutenant generals, who is afraid of whom?

Seeing him like this, Hua Gu became even angrier.

"Bagayalu, what's there to think about? Aren't they just Tubalu? Send out the troops to clean them out!

We have more than 2000 people on the city wall. If we attack from both inside and outside, are we still afraid that we can't defeat those Tubalu?"

What Hua Gu said made sense. If it were a normal Eighth Route Army soldier, they would definitely be wiped out like this.

In fact, if it were a normal Eighth Route Army, it would have been killed by the Japanese long ago.

However, these are not normal Eighth Route Army soldiers at all!

When the division commander Inoue heard him say this, he quickly said, "No. If you send someone out now, you will be sending them to their deaths. I don't agree."

Hua Gu said angrily: "You don't agree? Why do you disagree? Are you asking me to give up the outer city and watch more than 2000 warriors on the outer city wall starve to death?"

"I……"

Division Commander Inoue found himself speechless.

Based on his intuition, he felt that he could not defeat these local guerrillas outside.

But what can we do if we don’t fight?

Is it really like Hua Gu said, that we have to watch those warriors outside die?

Regimental Commander Inoue was helpless and said in a slow tone, "Commander, how about we ask for help from above? This way, there may be a glimmer of hope."

"idiot!"

Hua Gu became even angrier. He had finally gotten to the position of commander, and asking for help from above was no different from seeking death.

If the higher-ups knew about the situation here, Hua Gu would be finished.

Therefore, even if it costs his life, he has to solve this problem himself.

"Impossible, absolutely impossible. If the higher-ups knew what happened here, not only would I be finished, but you would also definitely not be able to continue your job as division commander. Inoue, have you ever thought about the consequences?"

"Of course I know that, but it is clear that things are now beyond our ability to resolve," said Inoue.

If we continue to hold on, the consequences will be even more serious if we fail.”

"No, absolutely not. Inoue, don't forget that we are now in the same boat. We will prosper together and suffer together. You must not do this, understand?"

"I don't want to do this either, but is there a better way now?"

"How could there be none? I am a commander with hundreds of thousands of soldiers under my command. How could I be controlled by a bunch of local soldiers?

Just wait, I will transfer a division back. Urgent action inside and outside, we must wipe out these Eighth Route Army soldiers."

In fact, hundreds of thousands of soldiers and horses are just bullshit.

This guy only has 4 divisions and 10 independent mixed brigades under his command, which is far less than people in total. It is nothing compared to the troops that Shinozuka Yoshio had before.

Division Commander Inoue was speechless.

Transfer one division back, and don't need other places anymore?

If it was in the past, there would be no problem doing this. It would be no problem to temporarily place a squadron in a county.

But now, these Eighth Route Army soldiers are so strong. If we continue to do this, we will be handing over those places to the Eighth Route Army soldiers.

Division Commander Inoue couldn't understand how things had turned out like this.

Maybe things weren't as bad as he thought? Or maybe he was overthinking?

"Alright! You are the commander, do whatever you want! With my current military strength, it is already the limit to defend the inner city and prevent the Eighth Route Army from attacking."

Division Commander Inoue finally compromised.

Yes, he was reluctant to give up the power in his hands. Once he reported it, he might be able to save his life, but he would definitely have to retire.

This is still the best result.

"Yoshi."

Hua Gu said and picked up the phone.

"Hello, this is Hanako Masaru, connect me to the commander of the 36th Division, Iseki."
