Chapter 345: A Squadron Leader Who Likes to Do Business

As a result, Terauchi Isamu was demoted by the division commander Yamashita from major to captain, and was also exiled to Wuyi County, where he became the captain of the garrison squadron.

But this is exactly what he wants. He is from Osaka. In Wuyi County, which is far away from home, he is the boss and his business is bound to be booming.

In just two months, he earned more money and gold than in the past two years. This made Terauchi Isamu immediately addicted to this kind of life. Now even if the division commander Yamashita asked him to go back to be a major or even a lieutenant colonel, he was unwilling to do so.

He is from Osaka and was born into a fishmonger family. He has a special liking for doing business and is very good at it.

It was not until he came to Wuyi County that Terauchi Yong realized that he had been completely delayed before and how much money he had lost during his years in the army.

However, this kind of good thing only lasted for a few months. He recently encountered some very bad things.

First, a team under his command that was responsible for capturing civilians to build artillery towers was inexplicably killed in an operation a few days ago. Then eight puppet army strongholds were breached, and all the military supplies inside were taken away, not even any daily necessities were left.

Fortunately, the turret was built with red bricks, which are difficult to remove with bare hands, otherwise not even a single hair would be left for the Japanese.

Faced with this situation, Terauchi Isamu could only transfer two combat teams from the county garrison troops, led by a team leader, to the Xiaobaozhuang stronghold to strengthen the defense there.

This Xiaobaozhuang stronghold is their material circulation center. The monthly material supply of various strongholds outside the city depends entirely on the transportation of this stronghold. Once it is lost, the consequences will be disastrous and may even put Wuyi County in danger.

But sometimes things are just like this, the more you fear something, the more likely it is to come. Just today, he received a call for help from the garrison in Xiaobaozhuang, saying that the main force of the Eighth Route Army had appeared there.

Just when Terauchi Isamu was about to ask, a huge explosion was heard from Xiaobaozhuang, and then the phone could no longer be reached.

Faced with this situation, the old man immediately called the division headquarters in Hengshui to request tactical guidance. If no reinforcements came, Wuyi County would probably not be able to be defended.

However, Division Commander Yamashita already had a deep prejudice against Terauchi Isamu. The last march had already screwed him over badly enough, and this time he refused to believe Terauchi Isamu's lies no matter what. Instead, he sent a telegram to scold him.

He was also ordered to guard the county town and surrounding strongholds. If any problem occurred anywhere, he would not be spared this time and would be forced to commit suicide.

With no other choice, Terauchi Isamu could only select a squad and a puppet army battalion from his limited military force, totaling more than 400 people, to go to Xiaobaozhuang for support.

But we didn't expect that we would be ambushed by half of the special forces team led by Song Qingfeng on the way, even though the enemy outnumbered us twenty times.

However, for the special forces, facing such a powerful enemy is just a routine operation. After all, each soldier is at least a sharpshooter with a large amount of bullets piled up, and they use the best rifles currently available, and can snipe and kill the enemy at a super long distance.

Moreover, before the battle began, instructor Song Qingfeng had specifically instructed that this time they would specifically target the Japanese soldiers and the company and platoon leaders of the puppet army.

After several rounds, the Japanese infantry suffered heavy casualties, and a large number of puppet army officers were also killed, which completely destroyed the morale of the enemy's reinforcement force.

Upon seeing this, the puppet army battalion commander hastily suggested to Captain Kameda that they should retreat quickly, saying that saving their lives was the most important thing at this time, and the people at the Xiaobaozhuang stronghold could only fend for themselves.

The puppet army has always believed in: "I would rather die than let my friends die", and now their lives are hanging by a thread, who would care about the lives of others?

In fact, Captain Kameda was very tough at the beginning. When he was attacked, he immediately ordered his soldiers to fight back.

But when more than half of his team had suffered casualties, he had actually already thought about turning back to the city. However, he could not be the first to bring up such a thing, otherwise he would be in trouble when he returned.

Captain Kameda had never gotten along well with Captain Terauchi. If he went back like this this time, he would probably be severely punished by the captain. It was possible that the captain would be demoted to a mere private.

It is just right that the puppet army battalion commander has brought this up now, so that all the responsibility can be put on this unlucky guy.

Next, the remaining Japanese soldiers and puppet troops turned 180 degrees on the spot and ran towards Wuyi County, twice as fast as when they came. Except for the twenty or so who lagged behind and were killed by the special forces, the rest of the large force disappeared in the blink of an eye.

Even the special forces members who are good at running may not be able to catch up in a short period of time. After seeing this, Song Qingfeng couldn't help but sigh that these puppet soldiers are really good at escaping.

But his goal was achieved. In fact, Kong Hao didn't care about the few people in Wuyi County at all. On the contrary, he was more worried about the reinforcements sent by the Japanese from other enemies.

The two main regiments of the Fifth Military Sub-district were sent to the border between Wuyi County and other counties for blocking the enemy. Only by blocking the enemy's reinforcements could the materials seized from Wuyi County be successfully transported into the mountains and put into the bags for safekeeping.

Division Commander Yamashita originally thought that Terauchi Isamu was lying about military intelligence, but with the large-scale mobilization of troops from the 9th Column, troops from many other places were also mobilized, and even small-scale attacks were launched.

It was not until this time that Division Commander Yamashita realized that the Eighth Route Army was serious this time. After repeated telegrams to confirm, he learned that the Xiaobaozhuang stronghold had been attacked and the reinforcements sent from Wuyi County had also been ambushed on the way. The current situation was already extremely critical.

Faced with this situation, Division Commander Yamashita did not want to take the responsibility of losing a county town, as that would make him be ridiculed by other division commanders.

So he dispatched two battalions of reinforcements to Wuyi County, and sent them to Wuyi County in two groups to provide support.

According to past experience, a battalion of troops can easily move across this area, and there has never been a precedent of a battalion being completely wiped out. Even if all the troops of the Fifth Military Division were concentrated together, it would not be possible.

So, when the Japanese reinforcements were about to approach Wuyi County, they were blocked by the Second and Third Regiments of the Fifth Military Sub-district.

The order received by Captain Liu of the Second Regiment was to hold off the Japanese reinforcements for at least five days and not let them advance a single step before receiving an order to retreat from the military sub-district headquarters.
