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

At the Luoyeling Command, the brigade commander reminded Wang Ye, "Although the Japanese have left the county, their strength has not been greatly reduced, and the Japanese in Jing County are likely to come over.

When the two sides meet, the children's group will be under great pressure."

"I just want to wait for the devils from Jing County to come over. Once they leave the county's strong defenses, the devils will be just like that!" Wang Ye said nonchalantly.

The brigade commander wanted to persuade them, but he didn't know what to say. Maybe the children's group had a powerful trump card?

At the Third Brigade Headquarters in Jing County, Sasaki looked at the telegram in his hand and wished he could just shoot Noda.

How long had it been since the full-strength regiment entered Pingyang? How long had it been since the children's group launched the attack? And they actually turned around and ran back?

Could it be that even the 3500-plus warriors of the Empire could not stop this children's group that had never been heard of?

"Useless, all useless! The reorganized regiment had more than 3500 men, but they retreated within three hours of the start of the battle.

Do they still have the samurai spirit of the empire?"

After reading the telegram, the brigade chief of staff, Yoshishige Morishita, advised, "Your Excellency, the military tribunal will naturally handle Noda's mistakes.

Our focus now is to get Noda's regiment to evacuate Pingyang.

As for the county town, we will fight back after we have rested. The Chinese are not suitable for defending the city. They are more suitable for staying in the mountains!"

Sasaki agreed, "Yoshi, what Morishita-kun said is right, a momentary mistake is not the end.

Send out the Yoshiwara Corps immediately and bring the Noda Corps back at all costs!"

"Hey!" Daiki Yoshiwara turned and left the command center, and immediately set off with the assembled troops.

On the truck, the staff officer of the Yoshiwara Regiment, Otani Yuyoshi, asked in confusion,

"Mr. Yoshihara, why are the troops in such a hurry to leave? Is there something wrong in Pingyang County?"

"This morning, Pingyang County was attacked. Thirty minutes ago, that idiot Noda actually abandoned the county and led his troops to move in.

As a result, he was surrounded by the Chinese troops in Luoyeling. I don’t know why he gave up the city defense, and I don’t know where the elite troops in northwest Shanxi came from that could chase an imperial regiment to nowhere? "

Otani Yoshishige has been sorting out intelligence near Pingyang these past two days. "You can't say that, Yoshihara-kun. The Watanabe Regiment was wiped out by the enemy at Daqing Mountain some time ago. The bodies were burned to ashes and may have reached the mainland.

This means that there is a powerful and mysterious force in the Daqingshan area."

"Ha!" Yoshihara laughed, "Strong? That's just an excuse from Watanabe and Noda, two losers, just like Sakata Nobutsu, whose 4th Brigade was disbanded.

Can you say his opponent is very strong? He is just a loser! "

Otani Yoshishige was speechless. Could you please stop mentioning Sakata Nobutsu all the time? Aren't you annoyed by saying it every day?

Is the joke about the 4th Brigade so exciting? Don't forget that the Watanabe Regiment of the 3rd Brigade was also cancelled.

Unfortunately, Otani Ryoshige couldn't say these words, but only reminded, "Mr. Yoshiwara, facing an unknown enemy, we'd better be cautious!"

Yoshihara Daiki's face darkened and he said unhappily, "Otani-kun, I remember you were very proud when you first came to Jin Province. Could it be that this year of peaceful life has made him timid and he dares not go to the battlefield again?"

Without waiting for Otani Yoshishige to explain, he continued, "Some of our troops in northwest Shanxi are indeed powerful, such as the 358th Regiment of the Shanxi Suiyuan Army and the 167th Regiment of the National Army. These troops are reinforced regiments and are enough to compete with one of our battalions.

However, they are all cowards. As long as we don't go into their defense zone, they dare not go beyond the line.

The Daqingshan area was previously inhabited by bandits, and our intelligence department has no idea when the mysterious troops appeared. "

Otani Yoshishige really didn't know how to persuade him and could only sigh silently.

Yoshiwara Daiki became more and more excited as he spoke, "Watanabe and Noda are no match for me. Today I want to let them know why our Yoshiwara Regiment can be stationed at the brigade headquarters.

And they can only garrison in a small county town like Pingyang!"

Otani Yoshishige was shocked. Didn't they say they were only going to rescue? "Mr. Yoshiwara, General Sasaki's order is for us to rescue Noda's regiment. There is no other order!"

"Of course I know that, but there's nothing wrong with destroying the enemy while rescuing them, right?" Yoshihara Daiki said nonchalantly.

"My regiment is equipped with an artillery battalion, plus the artillery squads of each battalion. Which unit in northwest Shanxi can be our opponent?"

What Yoshiwara Daiki didn't know was that Noda had not reported the reason for their retreat.

If Sasaki knew that there was a Kuomintang army here, he would send a telegram to Taiyuan to request support.

This would waste too much time and Noda was worried that he wouldn't be able to bear it.

Otani Yoshishige turned his head to the side, not knowing how to communicate with Yoshiwara Daiki.

The warriors of the empire were very good at fighting, but they had no idea what the enemy was like, yet they were so brazen as to want to destroy them.

No wonder every raid has failed.

At 9 a.m., Noda's detachment was forced to stop at Luoyeling. Noda kept looking at the tent exit in the temporary command post, hoping that the Yoshihara detachment in Jingxian would arrive soon.

The troops evacuated Pingyang urgently, with few supplies and heavy weapons that were either destroyed or not taken away in time.

If the children's group launches a fierce attack, the troops may not be able to stop them.

"Sir, the Yoshiwara Squadron sent a telegram saying they have already set out and will be here in three hours at most!"

"Yoshi!" Noda let out a long breath, and then suddenly thought that the road ahead was a minefield. If the Yoshiwara Regiment came over, wouldn't they be separated into two halves by the children's group and unable to reunite?

"Mr. Komura, how is the minefield on the highway being cleared? Why didn't I hear any explosions?"

As soon as Komura entered the command center, he was asked by Noda.

"Report to the commander of the regiment. The engineering troops were killed by the snipers of the Children's Corps. The truck troops suffered heavy losses in the minefield.

We only went 100 meters before we stopped. There was not much left in the truck and the driver didn’t want to drive! ”

"Baga, you have to find a way to clear the minefield. Otherwise, the Yoshiwara Corps won't be able to get through and we won't be able to join up. How are we going to evacuate?"

Noda was panicked by the bombardment of the children's group and could not stay in the city. It was even more unsafe here.

Yes, shelling!

Noda immediately gave the order, "Let the mortar squadron fire at the minefield on the road and clear the mines directly with artillery!"

Xiaocun panicked, "Sir, if we use mortars to clear the mines, the trucks won't be able to get through!"

Noda was almost mad at Xiaocun, "Baga Yalu, you are such a jerk, even if we don't blow up the highway, how many trucks do we still have?

As long as we can join up with the Yoshiwara Brigade, the so-called children's group will definitely not dare to fight. If we follow the Yoshiwara Brigade, we may be able to counterattack Pingyang County!"
