Draw the sword and cure the fear of insufficient firepower

"No! Report to Brigade Commander Osawa!"

"This matter is too big, I can't act on my own!"

Matsushita Noki was still very smart and realized that as a colonel and a regiment commander, he was not qualified to make a decision about the prince's body.

He has the same idea as the Chief of Staff...

"Nani?!"

"The Eighth Route Army occupied Yi County?! So fast?!"

"Do they have cars?! They're faster than us!"

"And this matter of your Excellency the Prince is unforgivable! Red Bean Paste is unforgivable!!"

"This matter is too big. In principle, we can attack the city and take back His Excellency the Prince's body, but if the body is damaged, we cannot bear the responsibility! I must report to General Shinozuka!"

I didn't expect that Osawa Toru was such a cunning guy.

Although I said this, I didn't think so in my heart.

Ozawa Toru thought, although the prince cannot be insulted, this is a war! It's a life-and-death struggle!

The Eighth Route Army holds a dead man and wants to stop our locust army? !

Go dream!

Moreover, the prince is also a subject of His Majesty Tian Huang!

We must also make concessions for the grand cause of the empire!

When necessary, we must be prepared to die for His Majesty Tianhuang and the entire empire!

And His Excellency the Prince has now died in glory!

Naturally, they want to avenge His Excellency the Prince!

So in the process of revenge, guns and cannons have no eyes, and the Prince's body is so exposed and obvious.

If they get shot or bombarded, it will be the Eighth Route Army's fault...

However, this cannot be said explicitly. Maybe no one will say anything now, but what about after the war?

The leaders of the Army Headquarters and the royal family members must find someone to take the blame, and that person must be Osawa Toru. This is not acceptable.

Therefore, it is better to let the headquarters give the order. There are more than 20,000 locust soldiers on our side, and the headquarters cannot just watch them being wiped out by the Eighth Route Army.

Toru Osawa ordered the tank regiment and the 36th Brigade to hide temporarily and sent out scouts to see if there were any Eighth Route Army troops in other directions.

If there is no other choice, I have to bypass Yi County and run dozens of kilometers more.

……

Wing County.

"Commander, why don't the Japs move forward?"

"But we can't fire now. Only the artillery battalion's artillery can reach here. Our guns can't reach that far."

"Another thing is that the other Japanese troops haven't shown up yet. If we alert them, it will be difficult to surround them..."

Zhou Weiguo and Lin Tian lay behind the sandbags on the city wall and spoke anxiously.

He was eager to take action when he saw the devils, but these devils actually stopped. Could it be that they had discovered that Yi County had been occupied? They were really cunning.

"Don't worry, Weiguo. A good hunter must be patient."

"If their vehicles want to retreat, they must go through Yi County, because Yi County is the only county with roads here."

"Perhaps the Japanese saw Xian Gong Yihe on the flagpole and are asking for instructions. Let's observe first."

"At the same time, have the artillery battalion aim at the Japanese. If the situation is not right, cover them with fire first and eat up this tank regiment!"

Lin Tian said with a dogtail grass in his mouth and smiled.

……

26 kilometers northwest of Yi County, the Central Army...

After the Japanese started this sweep, they never touched the Central Army, and the Central Army also kept out of the way. In addition, with the strict orders from their superiors, they were not in a hurry since the Japanese were not attacking them.

Faced with the Shanxi-Suiyuan Army's hundreds of requests for help during this period, they remained indifferent.

If we fight, there is an 80% chance that we will not be able to defeat the Japanese, and we will suffer heavy casualties. In addition, we are disobeying orders on the battlefield, and the orders we are disobeying are from that man, so we will inevitably be shot.

And even if you win, your superiors will accuse you of "illegally resisting Japan" and you might even be assassinated by spies one day.

But if you don't fight, none of the problems mentioned above will arise.

Maybe your boss will say you are obedient and give you a promotion...

This is like helping an old lady who fell down on the street in the future.

If you help her, the old lady will blackmail you and force your family to be broken up and your reputation to be ruined.

The old lady didn't blackmail anyone, but she couldn't stand her children making trouble, and the result was the same as above.

After all, why should you help if you didn't hit him?

However, if you don't help from the beginning, all the troubles will never fall on you.

However, this time the commander came with orders. The Japs were defeated now, and it was time for them to reap the fruits. But we had to choose the right moment and could not just rush over and fight the Japs foolishly.

The Central Army temporarily organized the 86th Army, which commanded three divisions with a total of about 3 people.

At this time, Liu Yuntao, commander of the 86th Provisional Army of the Central Army, was sitting in his tent resting with his two concubines in his arms.

"Report to the commander-in-chief!"

"The 12th Division! The 22nd Division has already chased the Japanese 20th Brigade to a place kilometers behind them!"

"At the same time, the commander of the 12th Division, Fan Jian, reported that the six divisions of the Shanxi-Suiyuan Army had cleared out the Locust Army that was blocking them!"

"They are chasing the Ninth Brigade with murderous intent!"

"The vanguard of the Shanxi-Suiyuan Army is 5 kilometers away from us!"

The adjutant of Army Commander Liu Yuntao reported from outside the tent.

He knew that Liu Yuntao had brought two concubines with him this time, and they were currently having fun in the tent.

So I could only stand outside and report.

As soon as the adjutant finished speaking, there was a rustling sound of someone putting on clothes from inside.

"Oh? The Shanxi-Suiyuan Army is so powerful that it wiped out the 20,000 Locust Army so quickly? I am really impressed!"

"I didn't expect that they were not good at beating the Japs, but they were good at beating the second Japs. Haha, it seems that Commander Yan has been very angry these days!"

"Tell Fan Jian to bring some supplies and entertain the Shanxi-Suiyuan Army when they arrive."

"After all, we are all members of the national army, so we can't let our relationship become too strained."

"Then, the troops will follow behind the Shanxi-Suiyuan Army. If they attack us, we will fire a few shots to cheer them on. If they don't attack, we won't attack either. Do you understand?"

After two and a half minutes, Army Commander Liu Yuntao came out with an unhappy look on his face. He held up his trousers, lifted the curtain, and fastened his belt while talking. His expression was quite unhappy and his tone was a bit harsh.

"Yes! Commander!"

The adjutant saluted quickly and went down. The commander hated it most when others disturbed his good deeds.

I heard that the military commander's 28th concubine was the top prostitute somewhere, her name was Ruyan, and it seemed that she was specially trained for the commander-in-chief of the Shanxi-Suiyuan Army.

However, the commander-in-chief of the Shanxi-Suiyuan Army was so exhausted by the Japanese attack these days that he had no mood to think about these things.

This is a good deal for their military commander, but I don’t know if the commander-in-chief of the Shanxi-Suiyuan Army will come to settle accounts with their military commander after the war...

Moreover, ever since the military commander took Ruyan in, he has been partying every night and completely ignored military affairs.

The adjutant couldn't help but curse inwardly, beauty is a disaster...

But he also wanted this kind of disaster...

Damn! Why am I just an adjutant!

Everyone had been living in tents these days, and he could hear every sound inside clearly...
