"Tell the brothers below to take steady steps and don't panic! First, deal with the Japs in front of you. Don't think about eating all of them. We don't have the teeth to do that yet."

Zhang Jiahua calmed himself down. With such a big cake in front of him, he had to calm down. He would not bite off more than he could chew.

Many of my subordinates have just become arrogant. If they could all stay, it would be a great achievement. Of course, what our commander said is right. We should deal with the people in front of us first. These devils are not so easy to deal with.

At this moment, due to the lack of heavy firepower, the jeeps and armed trucks could only use machine guns to shoot the enemy from the periphery, causing considerable damage to the enemy, but if they wanted to defeat them, it would still be a long way to go. After all, everyone was pursuing speed when they came out, and they brought light weapons.

Moreover, the infantry artillery equipped by this army is also lethal to our army. Apart from mortars, we have no other artillery to follow us, so each vehicle must move to destroy the enemy.

The air force support will not arrive in a short time. We must make sure that Japanese planes will not take off to fight before our twin-engine bombers come to carry out covering bombing.

Otherwise, the twin-engine bomber would be a huge target in the sky, and the enemy fighter jets would come to pick up the spoils.

Lieutenant General Idogawa also realized that the vanguard of the 72nd Army was not particularly strong, but it was like a dog-skin plaster. No matter how they moved, the enemy would stick to them and cause them heavy casualties at any time.

You certainly can't run away, but if you organize a defense line on the spot, the enemy will not give you this opportunity. Although they are scattered on the battlefield, if you want to build a defense line on the battlefield, they will immediately concentrate their superior armored vehicles and launch a strong attack on this area.

The tactics are very flexible. When you are in chaos, they come out to kill people. When you are not in chaos, they come out to rush you into chaos. The opponent's commander is also a talent.

In this situation, the method of dealing with Japanese soldiers had been mastered, and the goal was to kill as many Japanese soldiers as possible, which gave Lieutenant General Idogawa a headache.

"Contact Colonel Kumamoto of the Kumamoto United for me."

Lieutenant General Idogawa knew that this was not a good thing. Although it was impossible for them to be eaten up, there would definitely be a large force following behind this lightly armed force. If they continued to delay here, it was only a matter of time before they were eaten up.

So he wanted to contact Colonel Kumamoto and withdraw all the troops to Colonel Kumamoto's rear. Colonel Kumamoto and the Nishikawa Regiment had already built a complete defense line. Let them hold on for a while and give the Idogawa Division a chance to rest and regroup. By then, they would fill in Colonel Kumamoto's defense line. It would be better than being killed like now.

"Kumamoto? I'm the commander of the Idogawa Division. I demand that you immediately open a gap in your defense line and allow my troops to reorganize behind your lines. Then, the three of us will unite and jointly resist the enemy. Otherwise, my division will be in such disarray that it will soon be unable to hold on..."

When Division Commander Idogawa said this, his face was burning. After all, he was a lieutenant general division commander, while the other party was only a colonel. However, he was different from other division commanders because his division was not transported from mainland Japan, but many local farmers were recruited to open up wasteland. Therefore, the combat effectiveness was not very good. To put it bluntly, it could not even catch up with a garrison division.

"Sir, please forgive me for not being able to carry out your orders. I can only follow the orders of Commander-in-Chief Uchiyama. Commander-in-Chief Uchiyama ordered us to set up a defense line again. You must persist in resisting the enemy to our east and must not cross our defense line..."

After Colonel Kumamoto finished speaking, he hung up the phone directly, which made the division commander Idogawa stunned. He had never seen such an arrogant guy in the Japanese army.

"Bakayaloo Bakayaloo..."

Lieutenant General Idogawa was so angry that he drew out his command sword and started slashing at the air, as if Colonel Kumamoto was standing right in front of him. An army colonel who was disrespectful to the general should be chopped into pieces.

But people around you also know that you were just a general in the logistics of the Kwantung Army. You were given this rank because of your seniority and have never led a combat unit. Colonel Kumamoto is different. In the Japanese military, Colonel Kumamoto is deeply rooted, so it is normal for him to look down on you.

What's more, in a sense, the Kumamoto Regiment and the Nishikawa Regiment were also abandoned by Commander Uchiyama. Their chance of survival was the Idogawa Division in front of them.

If you are allowed to run behind them, doesn't that mean you will become the supervisory team?

As long as Colonel Kumamoto has his mind in order, he would never agree to this.

"Reporting to the division commander, the Type 92 heavy machine guns on the Nishikawa Regiment's position are strafing our troops and we are not allowed to enter within 500 meters of the position."

The effect of this phone call was reported immediately. When they learned that Division Commander Idogawa was going to move eastward, they were certainly unwilling to do so, so they immediately passed down the order that any soldier of the Idogawa Division who entered the positions in front of the Kumamoto Regiment and the Nishikawa Regiment would be immediately expelled with machine guns.

"The glory of the Kwantung Army will sooner or later be completely ruined by these guys. Why couldn't they achieve victory against the 72nd Army? It's because these bastards only care about preserving their own strength and have no idea what the overall situation is. Pass the order, move the entire army north."

"What are we going to do in the north? That's the territory of the Rakshasa people," said the division commander Idogawa fiercely. The surrounding combat staff were listening and nodding at first, but when he said the last sentence, everyone's eyes were filled with shock.

"What are you all standing there for? We're allies with the Rakshasa people now. If we don't retreat north, there's no way we'll survive. Since they won't let us pass, let them face the 72nd Army head-on. I want to see how that bastard Kumamoto fights."

After Lieutenant General Idogawa finished speaking, everyone present understood what was going on. We are temporarily allied with the Rakshasa people, so it is only natural for us to enter their territory now. At least they won't turn us away, and we may even be protected by them. This is much better than the current situation...
