Bright Sword: An eight-year-old boy led a group to fight the Japanese invaders

"Where are the fighter planes?" After all, the chief of staff was a graduate of the White Bear Country's military academy, so how could he not see them?

Wang Ye pointed to the map and said, "Here."

Everyone looked at it and asked, "Ping County?"

The Chief of Staff said in shock, "This is the base of the 20th Division, the elite enemy troops. Although you have wiped out the 39th Brigade,

However, the 20th Division still had 40 brigades and artillery, cavalry, engineers and logistics regiments, with at least 1.3 men.

The independent brigade must have lost a lot of men after the battles over the past few days, and the soldiers are tired. Is it too hasty to attack Ping County now?"

Wang Ye explained, "We could have wiped out the 39th Brigade last night, but I waited until today.

The purpose is to let the 40th Brigade gather in Pingxian County, so that we can destroy the enemy's effective forces as quickly as possible.

As long as Ping County wins, the 20 counties occupied by the 12th Division can be easily taken. The commander needs you to ask the headquarters for help and ask them to send troops to prepare to take over other counties! "

"Are you planning on my head?" The chief of staff laughed.

"We only have so many people in our independent brigade. If we take over the occupied areas step by step, I don't know when we will be able to finish.

The common people in these areas have long suffered from the oppression of the devils and traitors. The sooner we deal with the devil troops, the sooner we can liberate them.

And there are still many traitors who need time to be identified, and we don’t have time.”

Wang Ye's words made the chief of staff ashamed. The Eighth Route Army had wanted to do this for a long time, but its strength did not allow it.

"I will explain to the headquarters, but you must remember that you can only fight if you can win. If you can't win, withdraw early. We will arrange troops to pick you up.

As long as the independent brigade continues to develop, I believe you will be able to defeat the devils sooner or later!"

The Chief of Staff helped after all.

When the independent brigade crossed Luanyun Pass and entered Pingxian County under Wang Ye's arrangement, the Japanese planes finally returned to Taiyuan.

The squadron leader was taken to the airport command center as soon as he got off the plane.

"Captain Nagaoka, can you explain why only three planes returned?"

The flight commander, Yu Otani, who was equivalent to an army battalion commander, pointed at the planes at the airport and shouted.

Nagaoka Naoyuki was still in shock and said grimly, "The enemy's anti-aircraft firepower was very strong. We didn't see any ground markings after we arrived at the target.

I had no choice but to descend, and then the enemy took advantage of my weakness. I will be responsible for this defeat."

"Baka." Xiao Guyou cursed, "What's wrong with the 39th Brigade? They must be held responsible for the losses of the Imperial Air Corps."

How could Odani You let Nagaoka Naoyuki take responsibility? Even if it was really their mistake, it would not work. The pilots of the Empire are all gold nuggets, and he would be heartbroken for a long time if he lost one.

"You will come with me to the headquarters immediately and report to Commander Yuzuka in person. If the 39th Brigade cannot give us an explanation this time, I will never let it go!"

Nagaoka Naoyuki whispered, "Odani-kun, we didn't find any trace of the 39th Brigade on the battlefield. We only saw some damaged armored vehicles.

I think they are all probably dead!"

"What? How is this possible? I contacted them this morning when the squadron set off.

Could it be that the 39th Brigade's 77th Regiment, with several thousand men, was completely wiped out by the enemy in half an hour?"

Xiao Guyou didn't believe it. He would rather believe that there was something wrong with the coordinates given by the 39th Brigade.

Otherwise, it would be terrifying to be able to wipe out an entire regiment of enemies in half an hour.

The Empire had never encountered such a powerful army in its many years of dominating China. Not to mention China, there was no such powerful army in the whole world.

Odani Yuu and Nagaoka Naoki rushed to the headquarters in the city. Yuzuka Yoshio had just woken up and was eating breakfast.

"Xiao Gu-kun, are you here so early to ask for credit from me?"

When Yoshio Yuzuka saw Yu Odani and Nagaoka Nao coming over, he made a rare joke.

Odani Yuu's face was solemn. "Commander Yuzuka, Nagaoka-kun was intercepted by the enemy's super firepower during his flight mission.

Only three of the 12 planes returned, and they were badly damaged.”

"Baka!" Yuzuka Yoshio's hand trembled, and the egg that he had just picked up to his mouth rolled to the ground. He looked up and cursed angrily.

"Didn't I tell the enemy to have anti-aircraft firepower? Why did they suffer such a huge loss?"

Yoshio Yuzuka thought for a long time before making up his mind to send the flying squadron out. Before departure, he repeatedly told them to be wary of the enemy's anti-aircraft fire.

"Commander, our squadron has no problem. In order to complete the mission assigned by the commander,

After the squadron arrived at the designated position, they immediately searched for the enemy, but the 39th Brigade did not make any ground markings.

Nagaoka had no choice but to descend, which gave the enemy an opportunity to seize.

If the 39th Brigade had followed the instructions, our squadron would not have suffered such heavy losses!"

Odani Yu put all the blame on the 39th Brigade.

"Oh~?" Yuzuka Yoshio looked at Nagaoka Naoki gloomily, "Have you found the troops of the 39th Brigade?"

Nagaoka Naoyuki felt uncomfortable under the cold gaze of Yuzuka Yoshio.

"Commander, we found the battlefield, but there is no trace of the 39th Brigade. I think they may have died on their own!"

"Die with honor?" Yuzuka Yoshio's face became even uglier. Bad news came one after another, and he was in no mood to compete with the egg.

"You go back first, I will get back to you after I verify the situation."

After Odani Yuu left, Yoshio Tsukasa immediately contacted Fujiwara Nakayoshi.

"Lieutenant General Tengyuan, how is your 39th Brigade doing?"

The Tengyuan Squadron was a little confused. Why were they asking the 39th Brigade at this time? Weren't they waiting for rescue at Luanyun Mountain Pass?

"Commander Yuzuka, I have been gathering the troops last night. As for the 39th Brigade, they will receive telegrams from him every hour, so there shouldn't be any problems!"

"Every hour? So you're getting their telegrams now?"

How could Tengyuan Nakayoshi return all this? He was so busy that he could only turn around and ask Chief of Staff Uchida Ginnosuke, who was formulating a battle plan.

"Uchida-kun, has the 39th Brigade sent a telegram this hour?"

Uchida looked up, his dark circles were particularly bright, and he asked the staff officer next to him, "Have you received the telegram from the 39th Brigade?"

"no!"

"No? We have to send telegrams every hour. What the hell is Sekigahara Roku doing?"

Uchida Ginnosuke's words reached Yuzuka Yoshio's ears through the microphone. He took a deep breath and suppressed his anger.

"Tengyuan-kun, the Imperial Air Squadron sent out 12 aircraft to support the 39th Brigade, but they didn't even make ground markings.

According to the squadron, the 39th Brigade is likely to be wiped out! "
