Draw the sword and cure the fear of insufficient firepower

Besides, you knew the other side had such strong firepower, why didn’t you retreat quickly?

Aren’t you going up there to deliver the food?

The locust army they destroyed was no less than one of your divisions...

This must be what the commander of the 36th Division said in order to ask the commander for more weapons and equipment so that he could enrich himself...

"Nani?"

After hearing this, Yoshio Shinozuka finally slowly opened his eyes.

"How can this be?"

"If it's really what Mr. Yamagami said, then it must be that ghostly Eighth Route Army!"

"Quick! Order the 36th Division to retreat!"

"We have already suffered heavy losses in this battle. The Eighth Mixed Brigade, the Officers' Observation Group, the Third Flying Squadron, Prince Ikkyuu..."

"The 36th Division cannot be hit hard again!"

"Koizumi-kun, go quickly and tell Yamagami Inujiro to retreat!"

"At the same time, send a telegram to the locust army in Rongcheng and ask them to start retreating as well!"

"We... ahem... we've already lost!"

"Once the 36th Division withdraws, without any holdback, the Eighth Route Army will definitely head north. When that happens, they and the Shanxi-Suiyuan Army will attack us from both sides. The consequences will be unimaginable!!"

Yoshio Shinozuka struggled to get up, and the medical staff nearby rushed forward to support him.

Shinozuka became more and more frightened as he spoke.

In his impression, the locust army would be completely wiped out if it encountered the Eighth Route Army.

terrible……

No wonder they have not been able to gather any intelligence on this unit.

For this strategic plan, he has sent out the 36th Mixed Brigade, the 7th Brigade, the 36th Brigade, the th Tank Regiment, the rd Flying Squadron, the th Division...

Yoshio Shinozuka didn't care about the tens of thousands of Imperial Army at all.

If they die, they die. There are so many people in China. Wherever the locust army goes, are you afraid that there will be no Ergou?

Anyway, their ultimate goal is to kill all Chinese people and replace this beautiful and fertile land with their own big nuclear nation.

So far, Yoshio Shinozuka has sent out more than 50,000 devils.

Such a powerful force is enough to launch a large-scale battle.

However, more than a month has passed, and everything was only going well at the beginning.

Yoshio Shinozuka was so full of confidence at that time. He thought he could open up the road from Shanxi Province into Qin Province, and then join forces with the Japanese in the south to force the Central Army to surrender.

In that case, he would be the brightest general in the entire empire.

Unexpectedly, I am now caught in a dilemma.

Junichiro Koizumi hurried down to give the order.

The commander seems to have become much more rational after vomiting blood.

But it’s better this way. If I don’t fight, I won’t lose, and if I don’t lose, I won’t get beaten.

Hahaha.

……

Rongcheng.

The commander of the 9th Brigade, Toru Ozawa, received a telegram from Yoshio Shinozuka.

"Nani?!"

"General Shinozuka, what does this mean?!"

"Although the current situation is somewhat different from the original plan!"

"But everything is in favor of the Locust Army!"

"We have now captured Rongcheng! Two brigades plus a tank regiment, a total of more than 20,000 locust soldiers!"

"We are not afraid of the attack from the Shanxi-Suiyuan Army at all!"

"Now we just need to rest and attack Yang County with all our strength!"

"Victory is in sight, but the commander-in-chief asked us to retreat!"

"I don't know!"

Ozawa Toru slammed the telegram on the table, paced back and forth, and yelled loudly.

Hearing this, the commander of the 36th Brigade, Kazuo Yamazaki, and the commander of the 7th Tank Regiment, Jiro Miyamoto, stood up at the same time.

"Nani?!"

"Did the Commander really order this?!"

Osawa Toru threw the telegram to the two of them, turned around with his hands behind his back, and said nothing.

"What ghostly Eighth Route Army?!"

"The demise of the 8th Mixed Brigade and the 3rd Flying Squadron must have been caused by a surprise attack by the Central Army!"

"We don't believe that the Eighth Route Army can be so brave!"

"Ozawa-kun, General Shinozuka told us to obey your command. Now what do you say we should do?!"

Yamazaki Kazuo and Miyamoto Jiro asked in a deep voice.

Victory is in sight. Even if they cannot capture the Shanxi-Suiyuan Army headquarters, their capture of Yang County will be a great achievement.

Although we have captured two cities of the Shanxi-Suiyuan Army, they have little strategic value. Retreating means we have to spit out the meat we have eaten.

The three old devils who were eager to make achievements would definitely not agree to such a thing.

"We can't retreat! Together with the Imperial Army, we have a total of 50,000 people!"

"It's enough for us to take Yang County. Even if we can't take Yang County, there are 8 divisions of the Shanxi Suiyuan Army around Rongcheng. As long as we can eat up half of their troops, this trip won't be in vain!"

"Order the troops to rest tonight and launch a large-scale attack on Yang County tomorrow. Do your best to kill the surrounding Jinsui Army troops!"

Ozawa Toru slammed his fist on the table and shouted angrily.

"Yoshi! Ozawa-kun! We listen to you!"

Kazuo Yamazaki and Jiro Miyamoto came to Osawa Toru excitedly and said happily.

……

at the same time.

36th Division Office.

The division commander, Inujiro Yamagami, also received a telegram from Yoshio Shinozuka.

"Hahaha, great!"

"The Commander has agreed to our retreat!"

"Order the troops to retreat now!"

"That ghostly Eighth Route Army will appear out of nowhere! We must hurry and retreat to Qucheng!"

"When the time comes, even if the Eighth Route Army comes, we will defend the city and they won't be able to do anything to us!"

Yamagami Inujiro was smiling happily, because it was Yoshio Shinozuka who ordered them to retreat.

Then when the higher-ups investigate the failure to retrieve Xian Gong Yi He's body, they can't blame him, Yamagami Jiro...

By then, he would perform another show, and when the 36th Division was fighting a bloody battle with the enemy, they would be able to retrieve the body of His Excellency the Prince.

But Shinozuka Yoshio ordered them to retreat. There was nothing they could do. A soldier's duty was to obey orders...

Hahaha……

Li Yunlong and others have built defensive fortifications behind the 36th Division, and various positions have been established.

They just waited until tomorrow morning, when the Japanese attacked the mountain, and then they would rush out and give the Japanese a good beating from behind.

"Captain! Commander!"

"The devils seem to be coming towards us!"

In the middle of the night, guard Hu Zi hurriedly ran to Li Yunlong to report.

Li Yunlong is discussing with Ding Wei, Kong Jie and Zhao Gang how to fight tomorrow.

I was startled by Hu Zi's voice.

"Don't be impatient, speak slowly!"

"The devils are coming towards us?!"

"They're going to run?!"

Zhao Gang asked hurriedly.

"That's right, Political Commissar! The Japanese artillery positions have all been withdrawn. There are tens of thousands of Japanese soldiers. It is estimated that they will reach us in an hour!"

Hu Zi took a breath and said.
