The blood of the Anti-Japanese War stained the mountains and rivers

Soon, the devil's new detachment leader Watanabe Shouichi announced an important decision, and after the decision was announced, the devil's team leaders were all in an uproar.

I had vowed to take them to wash away the shame before, but let them withdraw their troops the next moment, even if the heads of the devil brigade leaders turned their heads quickly, they couldn't keep up with the leaping thinking of the new detachment leader Watanabe Shouichi.

"Your Excellency, Detachment Captain, I think what we need to do now is not to retreat, but to concentrate our forces and launch a large-scale attack on the Chinese Army to wash away our shame!" Tengxiong Nishihara, the artillery captain of the devil, refuted the detachment leader Shouichi Watanabe decision.

"Are you refusing to carry out my order?" The leader of the ghost detachment, Toshiichi Watanabe, stared at Tengxiong Nishihara with beastly eyes, and asked coldly.

"I am an imperial soldier, and I only know that imperial soldiers should be brave and fearless, not cowardly and timid."

"I ask you, do you want to refuse to carry out my order? Answer me!" The detachment leader Shouichi Watanabe suddenly raised his voice, his eyes full of murderous intent.

Although the team leader Tengxiong Nishihara was very unwilling, he finally chose to bow his head in the face of the strong oppressive force exuded by the leader of the devil squad leader Watanabe Shouichi.

"Don't dare." Tengxiong Nishihara, captain of the Devil Artillery Battalion, replied with a heavy bow.

Seeing the artillery battalion captain Tengxiong Nishihara lower his head, the devil squad leader Watanabe Shouichi looked around the brigade-level officers with murderous eyes, and said slowly: "Who has a different opinion?"

Faced with the questioning of the leader of the Devil's Detachment, Watanabe Shouichi, the captains of the Devil's Brigade did not dare to look at him, and replied in unison: "Resolutely execute the order!"

"Okay, very good." Seeing the captains surrender, the detachment leader Shouichi Watanabe was full of complacency, withdrew his momentum, and returned to his seat to sit down.

Facing the oppressive majesty of the detachment leader Toshiichi Watanabe just now, the team leaders all felt as if they were about to suffocate, but at this moment they couldn't help but feel their backs soaked.

If they had uttered objections just now, this lunatic might have really dared to remove them from their positions on the spot and send them to a military court for desertion.

"Your Excellency, Captain, I have a doubt, can I tell you?"

Seeing that the detachment leader Watanabe Toshiichi was no longer murderous, the brigade leader Takahashi spoke cautiously.

"speak--"

"Your Excellency, Captain, why didn't we attack, but retreated to Gaoyou?" Captain Gao Qiao was full of doubts.

The detachment leader Watanabe Shou looked around at the staff and the captains, and said with a sneer: "If you don't withdraw to Gaoyou, I'm afraid your troops will be eaten away by the Chinese people little by little, and then there will be no scum left!"

"But now that we have all withdrawn to Gaoyou, the previous efforts will be in vain, and a large number of areas will be given up to the Chinese people in vain. It is really not reconciled." Another devil captain said unwillingly. .

"You guys are too short-sighted." The detachment leader Watanabe Shouichi mercilessly criticized the captains.

"Now the morale of the Chinese people is booming through the victory of the Jieshou battle, while the morale of our army is low and scattered everywhere. If we continue to hold on, not only will we not be able to defend the towns we have already occupied, but we will also be eaten away by the Chinese army separately. , suffer heavy losses, it is only a matter of time."

Watanabe Shouichi, the leader of the devil detachment, walked up to the hanging map, pointed at the map with a baton and said, "If we take the initiative to give up the occupied area now, then we can avoid the attack of the Chena army and concentrate our superior forces on Gaoyou, then It will not be so easy for the Chinese to engulf us, and as long as they dare to attack Gaoyou, I don't mind annihilating them in Gaoyou city!"

"But in this way, we will lose a large number of occupied areas, and the Chinese army will be able to rely on these occupied areas to continue to grow and develop. It will become even more difficult to occupy these areas." Some Japanese staff officers said worriedly.

"No, no, you don't know the Chinese people." The detachment leader Toshiichi Watanabe shook his head.

"When we occupied these areas, their main enemy was us, and they would unite against us, but after we withdrew from these areas, the Sulu Guerrilla Corps, the local armed forces, the 89th Army and the Subei Corps, and so many others The so-called anti-Japanese alliance will be stationed in these areas, and with the character of the Chinese people, they will definitely have conflicts in order to compete for territory and resources."

"And we can also take this opportunity to add fire to them, sow discord between them and the local people, and intensify their conflicts. What we need to do is wait, wait for them to fight, be driven away by the opposition of the people, and then sit back and reap the benefits I can assure you that within three months, the Chinese Army will be disintegrated due to various conflicts." The detachment leader Watanabe Toshiichi said with confidence.

Hearing the words of the detachment leader Shouichi Watanabe, the captains and staff members suddenly realized that this is a strategy of retreating into advance.

"The detachment leader is wise!"

The captains were previously dissatisfied with Watanabe Shouichi, but now they have turned into admiration. If they really continue to develop like this, they will soon be able to occupy these areas again without any effort.

"Our various troops lack cooperation with each other, and while waiting for the internal strife of the Chinese army, we need to strengthen training and enhance the combat effectiveness of the troops, in order to completely eliminate the Chinese army in this area!"

"Hi Yi!"

Before the blueprint drawn by Shouichi Watanabe, the captain of the devil squadron, these frustrated devil captains rekindled their fighting spirit.

"This retreat is not a defeat. You must explain it clearly to the soldiers." Watanabe Shouichi said viciously: "When you retreat, I don't want you to leave an inch of bricks and tiles for the Chinese army!"

"Hi!"

The captains of the devil's brigade naturally understood the meaning of not leaving an inch of bricks and tiles behind, and there was a fierce light in their eyes.

The devil captains who received the order returned to their respective troops one after another, and thoroughly implemented the plan of the new detachment leader Watanabe Shouichi.

The ghost soldiers who had been holding on to the towns and cities before were retreating one after another, but when they retreated, they set fire to the houses in the villages along the way.

For a while, thick smoke was billowing in various areas, and many villages were burned to ruins by the fire.

When they learned that the little devil was retreating, the troops thought it was a conspiracy by the little devil, but when they sent out scouts to find out that the devil had really retreated, they couldn't believe that the devil had actually retreated.

"Assemble the troops immediately and seize the town everywhere!"

Li Changjiang, the deputy captain of the Sulu Guerrilla Corps, was also very excited. They had been fighting the devils for a week, but they didn't take advantage of it at all. They didn't expect the devils to withdraw now.

Now it doesn't matter what conspiracy the devils have, the first thing to do is to seize the towns where the devils are retreating and no one is in. If they go late, let other troops take the lead.

For a while, the messengers were running around, and all the troops followed the retreat of the devils one after another, and stationed in the towns that were burning with smoke.

"You little devils, I curse them to have no offspring!"

Seeing the villages and towns that had been burned to the ground, the vanguard of the land grabbing jumped their feet in anger.

Many places were still burning, and the troops had no time to chase down the retreating devils, so they had to immediately join the firefighting ranks.

Text Chapter 38 Information

The devils are shrinking their defenses on a large scale, and some of the previously occupied areas have all voluntarily given up, and all retreated to the vicinity of Gaoyou.

"Isn't this little devil having a convulsion? He suddenly gave up so many areas directly. Was he frightened by us?"

When the news that the devils were no longer aggressive, but retreated to Gaoyou on a large scale, was sent back to Yang Ling and their North Jiangsu First Guerrilla Corps Headquarters, everyone thought their ears had been misheard.

But after repeated confirmations, the devils did give up many areas for no reason, and now they are all defending Gaoyou.

While the brothers were happy, they also began to speculate one after another, what kind of style the devil is smoking, how can there be any reason to spit out the food in his mouth, this is not in line with the devil's style.

"The little devil will definitely not give us this large area for nothing for no reason. Maybe it is the little devil's conspiracy."

Yang Ling knew everything about the little devil, and the little devil had always wanted to take advantage of it but not to lose it.

This time, they beat the little devil until his nose was bruised and his face was swollen in two consecutive battles in Gaoyou and Jieshou. With the character of the little devil who must retaliate, it is strange that he didn't launch crazy revenge.

But now, instead of launching a large-scale revenge, the little devil has withdrawn to Gaoyou in desperation, which Yang Ling couldn't understand.

Although Yang Ling still doesn't know the little devil's intentions, he can be sure that this matter is definitely not simple.

"I don't think it's a conspiracy. The little devil must have been hurt by us and was so scared that he returned to Gaoyou. I think it's a good thing." Lei Xiong, the combat staff officer, was very optimistic.

"Mr. Yang, not only the devils in our front line have withdrawn, but also the devils in many areas have withdrawn. The friendly troops are urgently gathering and stationing. Do you think we should also send people to control some villages and towns?"

No matter what the purpose of the devil's retreat is now, the large blank area left after the devil's retreat is indeed real.
