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

"Please try your best to deal with it, Tanaka-kun!" Morishita Yoshishige said humbly.

Tanaka Yoshinori hung up the phone. I'll just say that. The annihilation of an imperial brigade is a big deal.

If the regiment flags were captured by the enemy like the Watanabe regiment, the entire Third Brigade would be in jeopardy.

Why bother trying to deal with it? It would be better for us to all end up together.

Tanaka Yoshinori thought about it and quickly went to find Yuzuka Yoshio. Such a big thing must be handled by a tall person.

At the First Army Headquarters, Yoshio Yuzuka was still working at his desk. Troops from all over Northwest Shanxi were rushing to Pingyang.

Along the way, Wan passed through the territories of many forces. The Eighth Route Army, the brave Shanxi Suiyuan Army, and the National Army were all blocking them.

Some bandits who wanted to take advantage even dared to bury a few mines on the road.

Yoshio Yuzuka's head was full of question marks. Were the bandits in northwestern Shanxi crazy? When did the imperial army become so popular that everyone wanted to take a bite?

"Ahem!" Tanaka Yoshinori coughed twice as he entered the room. Yuzuka Yoshio looked up and complained.

"Tanaka-kun, northwestern Shanxi is in chaos, and our troops are being blocked everywhere. Why aren't you working?

Although there were no troops in northwestern Shanxi and their field combat capability was not good, as long as the Yoshiwara Regiment and Noda joined forces, the 8000-strong army would have no problem protecting itself.

However, if the time drags on too long, the Tubalu and Jinsui armies in northwest Shanxi may unite, and the imperial army will suffer heavy losses.

Therefore, for the benefit of the Empire, you, as the Chief of Staff of the First Army, must join in and quickly find a way to rescue the two regiments of the Third Brigade."

Tanaka Yoshinori felt sad when he saw Yuzuka Yoshio's serious expression. This was a veteran soldier who had given his all to the Empire.

If he knew that the Third Brigade was only in name only, I wonder how sad he would be?

When Yoshio Yuzuka saw Tanaka looking straight at him with pity and sympathy in his eyes, he couldn't help but get angry.

What are you looking at? I am such a high-ranking commander, in charge of more than 10 imperial troops and more than 20 imperial troops. My word is law in the entire Jin Province.

Who the hell are you looking down on?

"Tanaka-kun, are your eyes uncomfortable?"

Tanaka Yoshinori finally reacted after hearing this, and then said seriously,

"Commander, I just received a call from the Chief of Staff of the 3rd Brigade, Morishita Yoshishige.

At 5 o'clock this afternoon, the Noda and Yoshihara regiments of the 10rd Brigade were completely wiped out at Luoyeling, miles north of Pingyang!"

"Hmm! Hmm~?" Yuzuka Yoshio almost didn't react. He walked quickly to Tanaka, stared at Tanaka's eyes with cold eyes, and shouted angrily,

"Tanaka-kun, you should know the consequences of lying about military intelligence?

The Noda and Yoshiwara regiments were completely destroyed. Why didn't Sasaki report this to me, the commander?"

Tanaka Yoshinori said seriously and seriously, "Commander, Morishita Yoshishige must guarantee the accuracy of his intelligence, otherwise he would not have reported to me.

As for why Sasaki hasn't reported this to you yet, maybe he still doesn't believe this news?"

Yuzuka Yoshio rushed to the desk with angry eyes, picked up the phone and yelled,

"Please connect me to Major General Sasaki of the Jingxian Third Brigade Command and have him answer the phone immediately!"

After the call was connected, Yuzuka Yoshio asked directly without waiting for Sasaki to speak,

"Major General Sasaki, please tell me now seriously, are the Noda and Yoshiwara regiments still holding out in the encirclement?"

Sasaki was stunned. Oh shit, he was so sad that he forgot to report!

"Commander, since you already know the news about Pingyang, why are you asking me?

The Noda and Yoshihara regiments have been completely wiped out. Do you know how sad I am? "

Sasaki thought that Yuzuka Yoshio called to laugh at him. The headquarters' intelligence agency was more powerful and better informed.

Now that it has been confirmed, why bother calling him?

Yoshio Yuzuka was almost angry to death. As a major general of the empire, couldn't he even do the basic reporting work?

"Major General Sasaki, I am seriously asking you, what is the current situation of the two regiments under the Third Brigade?"

Sasaki could not bear the blow again and shouted in despair, "The whole army is annihilated. All the regiments under the 3rd Brigade have been annihilated.

Are you satisfied now? Next I will commit hara-kiri and serve the Empire!"

"Puff!" Yuzuka Yoshio spat out a mouthful of blood, and the desk instantly turned red.

"Commander..." Tanaka Yoshinori and the officers in the command center ran over hurriedly.

"It's okay!" Yoshio Yuzuka sat weakly on the chair and said to the phone,

"Major General Sasaki, you are an excellent general among the younger generation of the empire. I once had high hopes for you.

But you disappointed me today. The destruction of the regiment under the 3rd Brigade was indeed serious.

But don't forget that the garrisons in northwest Shanxi are still desperately rushing to Pingyang, because you didn't report the battle situation in the first place.

Don't you know how much damage the troops supporting you have suffered?"

Sasaki was stunned. He was shocked by the news that his troops were completely wiped out. He never expected that there would be a rescue team. He quickly apologized.

"Commander, I'm sorry, I misunderstood you.

These mistakes were caused by me alone. I hope you will not involve other members of the Third Brigade. I will serve the Emperor faithfully later!"

"Baka, am I telling you to commit seppuku by telling you all this? Tomorrow morning, you will return to Taiyuan, and I will personally ask General Yamasugi Moto for mercy!

This is an order, do you understand?"

"Hey!"

Following the order from Yoshio Yuzuka, all the Japanese troops heading to Pingyang for support retreated.

In just one afternoon, these supporting Japanese troops lost two squadrons, and Yoshio Yuzuka almost vomited blood again.

After the children's group returned to Pingyang, Wang Ye immediately arranged for the special forces battalion to cooperate with the third battalion to screen all the people in Pingyang County to ensure that there were no enemy spies lurking.

Wang Ye chose a school in the south of Pingyang as the headquarters because it was large enough.

"Commander, the Pingyang Campaign is basically over. Do you think there is any possibility for our children's group to develop outside?"

The brigade commander smiled bitterly. The children's corps was much stronger than the current Eighth Route Army in terms of both weapons and equipment and the quality of its soldiers.

It would be unfair if the Children's Corps were to develop like other troops step by step, he said with emotion.

"The Children's Corps has strong combat effectiveness. You have passed the inspection of the headquarters. From today on, the Children's Corps will be officially upgraded to the Jinbei Independent Battalion.

There is no limit to the size of the troops. As long as you can afford it, you can recruit as many people as you want, but you must report to the headquarters every month!"
