Snow Leopard: Building the Strongest Elite Group through Robbery

Chapter 147 We Really Didn’t Know They Had

Matsui Iwane had no idea about this news. If he had known, he would have definitely opposed it.

The reason was simple. He estimated that Nanjing might already have chemical weapons.

During the Battle of Shanghai, given that the situation had been calm and the local side was urging him to move forward, he used a batch of poison gas bombs after driving the enemy to the suburbs. However, these ammunition were never used, and that night he encountered an enemy counterattack.

He was not sure whether the batch of poison gas bombs were destroyed when his people left or captured by the enemy. The returning commander said that they were destroyed, but the information he received was that the enemy had seized a lot of supplies.

There may be poison gas bombs in this batch of supplies.

He didn't dare report it, otherwise he would be held accountable.

But in order to avoid trouble, he never used it again, for fear that the other party really had it and the empire would be in trouble.

Now, Mimatsu Shigeharu actually used poison gas bombs without reporting it, which was simply a provocation to the other party's bottom line.

"Ask about the losses of the 114th Division." Matsui Iwane took a deep breath and said to his adjutant.

Mimatsu Shigeharu: My hands and feet are cold now.

The 128th Brigade was gone, the 150th Regiment was almost wiped out, and the 155th Regiment was now surrounded and besieged by tens of thousands of the enemy.

He didn't believe it, but that was what was reported.

"Why, how did the enemy attack us, how did they attack us, who can tell me this question?" Mimatsu Shigeharu asked with a gloomy face, sweeping across the crowd.

Everyone bowed their heads and kept silent. They also wanted to know how the 128th Brigade was defeated. The enemy's speed was too fast. From the start of the bombardment to the 155th Regiment sending a message saying that they had encountered the enemy behind them, it took less than half an hour in total.

In less than half an hour, the enemy wiped out an entire regiment and even took over the brigade headquarters. They couldn't understand why.

The messenger next to him wanted to say something but stopped himself. He did know something about the situation, but after he reported the news, the division commander exploded, and he didn't even have a chance to explain the situation.

It was the chief of staff next to him who saw his expression and coughed, "Do you have anything to say?"

The messenger finally found an opportunity, and he quickly saluted and said, "General, I went over and found that the soldiers along the way basically died on the battlefield without launching any counterattacks. Moreover, their clothes had been stripped by the enemy, leaving only a pair of large shorts. I think they must have been poisoned to death."

Poisoned to death?

The chief of staff's head was buzzing. If what the messenger said was true, then the 128th Brigade was attacked by the enemy's poison gas bombs.

Mimatsu Shigeharu also noticed this, but he was still very sure and said, "It's absolutely impossible. How could they have poison gas bombs? It's absolutely impossible."

It may or may not be possible, but some people present believed that the other side had poison gas bombs.

Otherwise, who can explain to them how the enemy wiped out a regiment of the 128th Brigade in the front and then quickly attacked the 155th Regiment from the side?

"We shouldn't have used poison gas bombs." The chief of staff took a deep breath and swore that he really didn't know that the other side had poison gas bombs. If he knew, even if he was given ten thousand guts, he would never suggest to his division commander to use poison gas bombs.

Really, he swore.

Although merit is important, the prerequisite is that you must be able to hold it safely. If you can't get it, what's the point of trying to snatch the merit?

"Your Excellency, the division commander." The radio operator trotted over to Mimatsu Shigeharu and saluted, saying, "Your Excellency, the 155th Regiment Command sent a message that the enemy's attack is fierce, and they are determined to die with the enemy."

what?

155th Regiment, can’t they be stopped?

Mimatsu Shigeharu swallowed his saliva. In one battle, he would lose two regiments, which basically meant that the 128th Brigade was wiped out. This was probably the first time since the war began that he was the commander of a division whose entire brigade was wiped out in one battle.

"Send reinforcements from the surrounding troops, and send them quickly." Shigeharu Mimatsu roared and looked at the chief of staff in front of him with a cold gaze.

The chief of staff's heart skipped a beat. There was no doubt that this time, he would be used as a scapegoat and sent to the military court.

But can you really blame him for this? Don't you want the credit? Why did you want to take all the responsibility for what happened?

The densely packed Japanese troops launched a group charge. Zhou Weiguo placed the tanks and armored vehicles in front, and used all the weapons in his hands without any hesitation to shoot and kill all the Japanese troops who dared to launch a group charge on the road of attack.

The last Japanese soldier fell. Ono, who was watching the battle nearby, waved his hand and said, "People from the Quartermaster Department, come on, leave no one alive. Newcomers, be especially careful, many of their officers like to have gold teeth, take them off for me."

Zhou Weiguo watched Xiaoye rushing to get equipment, and he said to the soldiers around him who could drive tanks, "Let's go, the battle is over, we are no longer needed."

He was responsible for the fighting, and Ono was responsible for the cleanup. Zhou Weiguo estimated that Ono had already sent the trucks, motorcycles and artillery to the independent regiment, but he probably didn't touch the tanks because they had no skills and couldn't drive them away. What he had to do now was to drive those tanks back.

The tanks were not damaged. The killing range of the poison gas bombs was just near the tanks. The tanks and armored vehicles on display were all intact. Zhou Weiguo went in to dig out the bodies, and then drove all the tanks back to the area of the independent regiment.

They had only rested for less than twenty minutes when Xiao Ye's arrogant laughter outside made Zhou Weiguo smile.

In fact, he didn't need Fang Shengli to report to him how many enemies were killed. He could roughly know from Xiao Yuer's smile that this time, the Japanese army must have been hit hard.

"Weiguo, our independent regiment is going to make a fortune this time. We are going to make a fortune."

"Congratulations then." Zhou Weiguo took out a cigarette and threw it to Xiaoye and asked, "Are you going to Suzhou or Nanjing to sell it this time?"

"Suzhou, I haven't sold out all the ammunition I bought last time. Also, there's a wealthy businessman who wants me to get him a large military officer's sword. He wants it to be the kind that's passed down from my ancestors."

"You're not going to cheat anymore?" Zhou Weiguo clicked his tongue. From what he heard, it seemed that this guy was not going to cheat and really wanted to get it over with.

Ono squatted beside him and lit a cigarette. "Forget it. They gave too much, five hundred dollars. If I cheat, I will feel guilty."

This is nonsense. This unscrupulous businessman sold bullet shells to children, claiming that they can ward off evil spirits. Does he still have any conscience?

Zhou Weiguo's disbelieving look made Xiao Ye cough and sigh; "He is a connoisseur."
