Snow Leopard: Building the Strongest Elite Group through Robbery

Tang Paopao had wanted to run away for a long time.

The Japanese army had assembled several divisions here. Although his corps consisted of several armies, its combat strength was not strong. If it encountered a first-class division, such as the Japanese 1st Division or several divisions of the Kwantung Army, it would be impossible to stop the Japanese attack.

Behind him were the positions of the Guangxi Army and the Sichuan Army. If he withdrew, Commander Li might let him go, but Commander Bai would definitely kill him.

He was afraid, and worried that the troops at the front would not put up a serious fight.

He was aware of the saying "what the superiors do, the subordinates follow," so he moved the legion's command post to the front, worried that the people at the front might leave without permission.

And now...

Commander Bai actually allowed me to evacuate. He must be kidding me.

"What does the commander mean?"

"Block the point and attack the reinforcements. This time, the Independent Brigade will be used as bait and fight alone. What you need to do is to open up the road and let the Japanese army in to surround them." After explaining his meaning, Little Zhuge looked at Tang Paopao. "This matter will eventually be investigated to some extent, but it will only be a formality. You will be transferred to the Sixth War Zone, and I'm afraid you won't be able to command this corps. Now tell me your thoughts."

What are your thoughts?

Prince Asaka has no particular thoughts right now; he only has one: he wants to kill that damned bastard, Seishiro Sakata.

In his view, as long as the situation here is stabilized and the headquarters no longer decides to launch an attack on the mountain city from the south, his son-in-law will not come. However, Nan Zaolin's words extinguished his only hope.

Zhou Weiguo was still going to come, and the reason he was coming was because Tani Hisao had gone there.

"How I wish he was joking with me." Prince Asaka, standing by the window, took a deep breath and looked at the butler beside him. "Do you think they would actually do it?"

"Master, Tani Hisao was able to escape because he had other things to do at the time, which allowed him to escape. In the past, the son-in-law might have forgotten about him long ago because of other things. But now, he might have been able to hide in the background without any problems, but he went to the 14th Division."

Going there would mean that it would once again make the son-in-law hate her.

The way the son-in-law expresses his hatred is different from others; he not only hates the person who made the suggestion, but also wants to teach the person who made the suggestion a lesson.

To put it bluntly, if he's unhappy, he'll kick even a dog on the street.

"There's no need for me to do anything more."

I had planned to suggest at the meeting, in order to prevent him from coming, that I could guide the headquarters to stop attacking the mountain city, but now it seems that...

There's no need for that anymore.

Whether I guide him or not, he will come anyway, so why should I do anything meaningless?

"Did they retaliate against the 14th Division?" Asaka asked silently, lighting a cigarette as she returned to her seat.

After mentally reviewing the situation, the butler shook his head. "No, after Tani Hisao arrived, he reorganized the 14th Division, adopting a strategy of outward relaxation but inward tightening, along with the use of puppet troops to feign assistance in defense and lure the enemy. Therefore, the son-in-law did not take any action against them."

amount……

This shouldn't be the case. Based on my understanding of him, Tani Hisao was already on his blacklist when he appeared there. Even so, he remained unmoved. This sounds unbelievable.

The more he thought about it, the more something seemed amiss. Prince Asaka placed his cigarette on the ashtray and asked, "Didn't you finish your report to me?"

"Master, although the son-in-law did not attack the 14th Division, the 3rd Division and the Independent Brigade next to him suffered the consequences. According to the information I have so far, the 3rd Division and the Independent Brigade were attacked fiercely, and those who were attacked had their heads cut off and hung on tree branches. Even if there were no tree branches, their heads were arranged neatly."

That's more like it; that's what he should be doing.

Asaka breathed a sigh of relief. He had been somewhat frightened if the boy had remained indifferent, but now he felt it wasn't a big deal. As long as the kid was retaliating, it meant that he didn't intend to take action against them for the time being.

“Master, the son-in-law’s actions are clearly intended to force the North China Area Army to make a choice and transfer Tani Hisao away. However, General Kōzuki does not seem to intend to do so. He not only retains him as a division commander but also appoints him as the commander of the central region. Master, why do you think General Kōzuki is doing this?”

why?

Prince Asaka chuckled twice and said, "Since the knife never landed on him, he naturally didn't take it seriously."

Just you wait and see. Once this kid has sorted things out, you'll definitely regret your decision now.

"What's the situation over there now?" Prince Asaka didn't intend to dwell on this matter. No matter how much he suffered, it wouldn't affect him. What he wanted to know now was what that kid was doing.

"Dig, keep digging down." On the Independent Brigade's defensive line, several regiments of men were wielding hoes and shovels, sweating profusely as they dug trenches.

The three-pronged defensive line was only about two hundred meters long, but each opening was equipped with the most meticulous tunneling operations, and there were even connecting tunnels between them.

Zhou Weiguo kicked the machine gun emplacement, causing the sandbags and dirt piled up to make the emplacement tremble slightly before returning to normal. He picked up the machine gun, checked the line of sight, and then signaled that the emplacement needed to be reinforced. He even suggested creating a simple cover above the machine gunner's position and digging a shelter from artillery fire and a place to store ammunition nearby.

This is a bloody battle, and no one knows how it will turn out.

The only thing he could do now was to take advantage of the time before the Japanese launched their attack, while the troops on his left and right flanks were holding off his forces, to forge an impregnable fortress that could withstand bombing raids by Japanese aircraft and ground troops.

In addition, water was also needed. Therefore, after a large number of discarded gasoline drums were simply cleaned at the sanitation unit, a large amount of drinking water was stored in a fixed place.

"What are you looking at?" After instructing the soldiers to continue, Zhou Weiguo noticed that Asaka Shurei was looking at a diagram of the trench digging area.

Asaka Shurei glanced up at him and said, "Master, is there something we're lacking?"

What's missing?

Zhou Weiguo took the blueprint. This blueprint was a schematic diagram drawn by him, Fang Shengli, Sano Tadashi, and several others after conducting a series of investigations on the site, based on the terrain and troop deployment.

Now, the entire independent brigade, plus a regiment of the Guangxi Army temporarily transferred to it, is digging according to this diagram.

Whether it was an artillery position, a machine gun position, or even a direct-fire artillery position, all of them were fortified. Sandbags were used where available, and if sandbags were unavailable, people would step on wooden planks from behind or cut gasoline drums to make cover.

In particular, the positions of direct-fire artillery and anti-aircraft artillery were the focus of special attention.

There's a problem there.
