Bright Sword: Japs, times have changed

When Kawashita Hide learned that all the reinforcements had been blocked, he realized that it was not only them who had deeper motives, but the Eighth Route Army was also present.

Yoshida Kazuo came to Kawashita Hide with bullets in his head and said, "Brigade Commander, we can't go on like this. More than half of our team has been killed or wounded, and subsequent reinforcements can't arrive in time. This is a slow death for us."

"We can't put all our hopes on the reinforcements from the Fourth Brigade. We must make a decision!"

Kawashita Hide nodded angrily, then turned to the radio operator and asked, "Contact Taiyuan Headquarters and ask them to abandon the plan. The team will withdraw from the battle and make long-term plans."

"Hi Yi!"

Soon, the radio operator received a reply and immediately reported to Kawashita Hide: "Reporting to the brigade commander, the headquarters has called back and asked the 22th Brigade to hold on. The headquarters has sent the th Brigade for reinforcement. Air support is temporarily unavailable. The nd Infantry Regiment, led by Colonel Koizumi, has arrived in Pingma Township and is expected to arrive at the Xiaowangzhuang battlefield in an hour."

"In addition, the Black Island Cavalry Regiment is also on its way to reinforce and has already arrived in Anhua County. It will arrive in about half an hour."

"And Commander Yoshio Shinozuka has personally ordered the transfer of troops from all strongholds and artillery towers in Anhua County and the surrounding area to reinforce!"

After pondering for a long time, Kawashita Hide said helplessly: "Yoshida-kun, order the troops to send out small teams to continue the attack to prevent the Eighth Route Army from launching a full-scale counterattack!"

"Hi Yi!"

On the battlefield.

Lin Qiang put down the telescope. He had a good solution to the Japanese's use of corpses to form an effective defense, but there was no rush at the moment.

He had long known about the news that the Japanese were sending reinforcements everywhere, and the reason why he was reluctant to attack the Japanese in the Seventh Brigade with all his strength was mainly because Lin Qiang wanted to eliminate more Japanese.

He was not afraid of playing with fire and getting burned. Once the situation seemed to be beyond his expectations, he would give the order to retreat and wait for the Japanese to seize the Xiaowangzhuang position.

Then, of course, they used howitzers to carry out an all-round saturation attack on the Xiaowangzhuang position.

Then, with the help of tanks and armored vehicles, a new round of cleanup was carried out in the Xiaowangzhuang area.

Anyway, with howitzers and tanks as backup, Lin Qiang is not worried at all.

Seeing that the Japanese offensive had slowed down, Lin Qiang also asked Ding Wei to reduce the offensive to give the soldiers some time to catch their breath.

Ding Wei returned to the command post and said to Lin Qiang, "These little Japanese are really bastards. They actually used their own dead bodies as cover."

Li Yunlong, who had returned to continue drinking, burped and responded, "Old Ding, you've been fighting the Japs for so many years, don't you know there's nothing they can't do?"

Li Yunlong's words were recognized by Lin Qiang. In this world, there is indeed nothing that the Japanese devils cannot do.

Being able to use women from one's own country as comfort women is truly a scorpion shit - unique.

"This is easy to handle."

Lin Qiang offered Ding Wei a suggestion: "Why don't you have the artillery concentrate their fire and blow up the piled-up bodies?"

"I've thought of this solution a long time ago."

Ding Wei pointed at Li Yunlong and said, "If I wasn't afraid that Old Li would get mad, I would have given the order to fire long ago!"

Li Yunlong's face darkened. "Old Ding, is our Old Li that kind of person? You just bomb them. When the battle is over, I'll have Lin Qiang replenish the spoils for me!"

Upon hearing this, Lin Qiang said with a bitter face, "Captain, do you still have any conscience? Why should I be responsible for the spoils being destroyed?"

"Besides, it's always the subordinates who ask their superiors for reimbursement, how can a superior ask his subordinates for reimbursement?"

Li Yunlong said with an expression that said, "You'll give it a try if you don't," "Lin Qiang, tell me the truth, do you still recognize me as the regiment commander?"

"recognize!"

Lin Qiang replied without hesitation: "I am a soldier from the independent regiment, and you will always be my commander."

"but!"

"You may have forgotten one thing. I'm now directly under the brigade headquarters. Logically, all supplies are under the brigade's management. I can reimburse you, but I must first obtain the brigade commander's consent. Otherwise, I, a mere battalion commander, cannot bear the consequences of misusing strategic supplies without authorization."

"How about you come, Captain?"

"Hahahaha!"

Ding Wei, who was watching the show on the side, laughed very happily. He was very happy to see his old comrade suffer a setback.

Ask the brigade commander to reimburse for supplies?

Go dream!

After this battle, it would be a blessing if the brigade commander did not ask them to hand over the spoils.

"Definitely!"

Li Yunlong said angrily: "I finally understand, you have no intention of recognizing me as the leader. Forget it, a married woman is like spilled water. It's because I, Li, am famous for my generosity!"

"But then again, hurry up and blow it up! I'm still waiting to clean up the battlefield!"

But he was stopped by Lin Qiang again. He only heard Lin Qiang say: "It's not possible now. The Japanese 4th Brigade, an infantry regiment, and a cavalry regiment are on their way. If we end the battle now, wouldn't it be a wasted trip for the Japanese?"

Ding Wei was shocked when he heard this and asked, "Where did you get this information?"

"From the brigade commander, of course!"

After getting this answer, Ding Wei and Li Yunlong were no longer surprised. They knew very well the brigade commander's background.

"By the way, how's the situation over there, Lao Kong?"

Ding Wei asked Li Yunlong, "Old Li, wasn't your reinforced company deployed to assist Old Kong? Why isn't it on the battlefield?"

"You want him to stay in the position? Dream on!"

Kong Jie walked in from outside, picked up the water on the table and drank it all. "The Japanese have been repelled for the time being. I don't know what's going on. There has been no movement. Could they be waiting for reinforcements?"

"Hey, you're right!"

Ding Wei recounted what happened to Lin Qiang just now.

"If you ask me, you just have too big an appetite!"

Kong Jie said with a hint of worry: "If something unexpected happens, all our efforts will be in vain. By then, not only will we not get any spoils, we might even be punished!"

But he did not see any worry on Li Yunlong and Ding Wei's faces. Instead, they did not react to his words at all.

Lin Qiang explained: "There is no such thing as an accident. If we abandon the Xiaowangzhuang position, once the Japanese occupy it, the howitzers of my artillery regiment will be enough to give the Japanese a hard time."

"Then we used tanks to retake the position. This back and forth actually killed more devils."

Li Yunlong was impatient. Seeing that Kong Jie was still hesitant, he said to him, "Old Kong, you are still afraid. Withdraw your troops and let my men take over. You can go back with the spoils you have taken."

Hearing this, Kong Jie looked at Li Yunlong with a stern face and responded: "Li Yunlong, you can disgust me, but you can't disgust my soldiers."

"Who said I was afraid? I was just wondering if I should withdraw your company so that after the battle, you don't have to share my spoils."

"Kong Erlangzi, how dare you!"

Li Yunlong stood up and said, "You said we have big appetites, but I think you have the biggest appetite. You, with just one regiment, want to take all the spoils of the Japanese Ninth Brigade alone? Dream on!"

"that is!"

Ding Wei rarely agreed with Li Yunlong and said, "Old Kong, without my New 1st Regiment fighting desperately on the front line, can you stop the Japanese 9th Brigade? Why should you take it all by yourself? I don't agree!"

"Hey, three regimental commanders, the battle isn't over yet. Isn't it too early to talk about this now?"

Lin Qiang diverted the attention of the three people: "Besides, this spoils should have my share, why don't you count me in?"

"roll!"

"You? Just forget it!"

"Brother Lin, are you still fighting with us for these junk?"

Seeing the three people immediately unite as one, Lin Qiang knew that his goal had been achieved.

If we let the three of them continue arguing, there will probably be no conclusion by tomorrow morning.
