Anti-Japanese War: When I get promoted, the system will explode with soldiers

Commander Sakahara of the 5th Division could not believe that his most elite Kawasaki Regiment was gone just like that?

"Bageyalu, you bastards, have you investigated thoroughly? If anyone dares to lie about military intelligence, they will be shot on the battlefield immediately."

Division Commander Sakahara said angrily. For him, this was simply unbelievable. You know, the Kawasaki Regiment was the elite among the elites, and it was also a well-respected force among all the major Japanese forces. He had wanted to make more military achievements in North China, but who knew that he would be wiped out as soon as he took action. This really almost suffocated him, and he was a little unwilling to believe this fact.

"Reporting to the division commander, we have received confirmation that our colleagues from the Kawasaki Regiment have returned and are currently in the hospital."

A combat staff officer whispered that they didn't want to believe this fact, but more than 400 people ran back, and more than 100 of them were carried back on stretchers. Are these people lying? They can't just hurt themselves.

What's more, when the plane was spraying oil just now, many people around saw it, and they were also wondering because they had never seen such an operation on the battlefield.

But they knew the result, which was that half of the Kawasaki team was burned down.

"Go and find out immediately which army is in front of us?"

The division commander no longer worried about the authenticity of the intelligence. After all, the people under his command had followed him for a long time and would never tell him lies.

He had heard that knowing yourself and your enemy would ensure victory in a hundred battles. Now he didn't know which army was in front of him, so how to deal with it was a problem.

"Your Excellency, the division commander, the reconnaissance personnel have begun to move in, but the Kawasaki Regiment's position is being eroded by the enemy. Which unit should be sent there?"

According to the combat staff, the division commander was also hesitant. After all, he didn't know the situation of the other side. If he blindly sent troops up, they would definitely be cannon fodder. But now he couldn't leave the gap empty. The defense line of the entire Fifth Division had problems, and people had to be sent to fill it. Of course, everyone understood that the troops going up would be committing suicide.

"Where have they advanced so far?"

Division Commander Sakahara's men brought the map.

"The Kawasaki unit was planning to launch a surprise attack on their airport, which is in the Chenguanzhuang area. However, Chenguanzhuang has already fallen, so they should be on the east side of Chenguanzhuang at this moment."

The combat staff officer expressed his guess. Two reconnaissance planes had just taken off, but unfortunately they encountered the combat planes of the 72nd Army. Fortunately, our reconnaissance planes ran fast, otherwise they would have been shot down. However, no news was returned.

"Don't speak to me in such a speculative tone. Investigate immediately. If you can't find out, then commit suicide to thank the Emperor."

The division commander said very angrily, as if after this failure, he was not satisfied with any of his subordinates. The Fifth Division should not perform like this.

"Hayi..."

"Come back...let the 40th Brigade go ahead."

After hearing the division commander's words, the others also breathed a sigh of relief. We don't have to go and die.

Although the 40th Brigade was under the command of Division Commander Sakahara, its combat sequence was not with the 5th Division, but with the 27th Division.

The old Japanese soldier Sakahara was not stupid. He certainly knew that his men could not go to die, and he should let other troops go.

After receiving the order, the 40th Brigade's men were about to bang their desks in anger. "How did your Kawasaki Regiment die? We haven't even figured out the situation yet, and you're sending us in to plug the gap right now? We don't even have any reconnaissance information, and you're sending us there to die?"

"Please be sure to follow the division commander's orders. If there is any delay..."

A Japanese major said disdainfully that the officers of the Fifth Division looked down upon the people of the 27th Division. Just listen to the number and you will know that we are a permanent division, and the best among the permanent divisions. Your 27th Division is only a temporary formation. Now you still have doubts about the orders of our Commander Shi. Don’t you want to live?

"Major Ishikawa, our 40th Brigade is still 2 kilometers away from the battlefield. Isn't it too late to let us through now? Isn't your Fujii Regiment nearby? Why don't you let them through?"

The 40th Brigade is also known as the Takamatsu Brigade because their brigade commander was named Takamatsu Hirashita.

This guy was originally a combat staff officer of the headquarters. After the 40th Brigade was temporarily formed, it lacked a brigade commander, so they brought him from Japan. At this moment, he still has the arrogance of a headquarters staff officer.

According to his idea, since we are all the imperial army, we should be equal. Although we are temporarily under the management of your Fifth Division, you must follow the rules when doing things. It is obvious that sending the army to plug the gap without knowing the situation is asking us to die.

Brigadier General Takamatsu was still thinking about making great achievements, but if he just went to die like this, he would have achieved nothing.

"Respected Brigade Commander, is this something you and I can discuss?"

Major Ishikawa said with a wry smile that as a liaison officer between the two divisions, this guy had long forgotten his official position and even used such sarcastic language when facing a major general.

Major General Takamatsu went up and wanted to slap him, but was stopped by his men. Lieutenant General Sakahara of the 5th Division was extremely protective of his subordinates. If you hit one of his men, your position in the army would be in jeopardy, as that guy had a lot of connections in the army.

It was obvious that Major Ishikawa had connections to be chosen as the liaison officer, otherwise he would not have gotten such a lucrative job. On the surface, he was just a small liaison officer, but the 27th Division gave him a lot of benefits.

"There's only one hour left. Your Excellency, the Brigade Commander, you don't have the time to waste on talking to me. Better get your troops out and march. Otherwise, if something goes wrong on the battlefield, someone will have to take the blame."

Major Ishikawa handed over his record book and asked Brigade Commander Takamatsu to sign it, and his mission was considered completed. If your troops were not seen within the specified time, you would probably be included in the list when the responsibility was investigated.

"Notify the troops to prepare for departure."

Although Major General Takamatsu was unhappy, he also knew that what Major Ishikawa said was true, so he could only send someone over first.
