I really came here to fight against Japan

Unfortunately, their commander Yoshio Shinozuka refused to agree to attack towards Higashiyama.

In fact, Hayata Chiken (Ono) also knew his commander's intentions.

He was frightened by the legend that the Eighth Route Army had four heavy artillery companies.

He didn't even think about it. There were four heavy artillery companies, and at least four 105-caliber howitzers.

When did the Eighth Route Army acquire its troops? It certainly wasn't given by the Shanxi-Suiyuan Army and the Central Army, right?

The Shanxi-Suiyuan Army never existed, as for the Central Army...

Do you think the Central Army would give the Eighth Route Army such heavy weapons?

It is even more unlikely that they seized it from the Imperial Army.

The troops below lost a Type 92 infantry gun and had to find a way to take it back.

If four howitzers were really lost, the lawsuit would have to be brought to the home base.

Alas, Mr. Yoshio Shinozuka is getting old, and his courage is getting smaller and smaller.

When he first started attacking Shanxi, Yoshio Shinozuka didn't want to attack Shanxi by force.

He had always fantasized about persuading the commander-in-chief of the Second War Zone to surrender.

The commander of the Second War Zone has been trying to persuade the Japanese army to surrender for three years, but he has not yet given the Japanese army a clear response.

However, the strength of Shanxi's anti-Japanese forces became stronger and stronger.

They were discussing intensely the direction of the next attack.

Ono stood at the door, turning his head from time to time and yawning secretly.

He had to turn his head as he listened to the argument in the war room.

Looking at Hayata Chiken, who was pretending to be having a heated discussion with Commander Shinozuka Yoshio.

He couldn't help it, he thought it was all too funny.

Why would the future of the empire be handed over to people like them?

"Mr. Ono, this is the intelligence sent from the Central China Expeditionary Force. Please give it to the Commander."

Ono didn't even look at the contents, but handed the document to Yoshio Shinozuka with a lack of interest.

Shinozuka Yoshio: "Hahaha, look at this, this is the intelligence sent by the Central China Expeditionary Force.

According to news from Nanjing, there was only one regiment of the Eighth Route Army in the Liulang Mountain area.

How is it? It seems that my decision to attack the Eighth Route Army in the Huting area was correct!"

At this time, Hayata Chixian stopped pretending and asked, "Commander, is the source of this information reliable?"

"Of course the intelligence is reliable. It was obtained by friends in the empire from the secondary capital.

The Eighth Route Army successfully attacked His Highness Gong Jiji's troops yesterday.

They reported this great achievement to the Second War Zone yesterday afternoon.

This number of casualties was also reported to the Second War Zone to the Imperial Guard Office, so it is highly credible."

Well, now that the commander has confirmed the correctness of the source of this intelligence, what else can others say?

At this moment, Commander Yoshio Shinozuka clearly had the upper hand again.

The First Army Headquarters issued an order that the Akita Regiment, which was returning to support Taiyuan City, would be responsible for pursuing Li Yunlong's troops.

Using an infantry regiment of a field division to deal with a regiment of the Eighth Route Army would be a piece of cake.

Ono couldn't help himself at the door, and he said, "Commander, isn't a regiment of troops a little short?

Should we add another squadron, so that we can be more secure?"

"Bakayaluo, to defeat a regiment of the Tubalu, do we have to send out a brigade of the Imperial Army to defeat it?"

"Clap clap..."

Yoshio Shinozuka was furious and beat Adjutant Ono Nipi again.

Even Captain Akita couldn't bear to watch it anymore.

This is no longer just a lesson for his subordinates, this is a fatal attack on Xiao Ye.

Although Adjutant Ono's remarks just now were offensive to me.

But Mr. Ono was really concerned about the safety of his own regiment.

He quickly ran over and helped stop the furious Yoshio Shinozuka.

"Commander, please calm down. Now is the critical moment to defeat the Eighth Route Army.

Please leave all the matters of pursuing the Eighth Route Army to me.

You haven't slept all night, so you should rest now.

When I return victoriously, I will report to you the good news of our wing's victory."

Only then did Yoshio Shinozuka nodded in satisfaction, kicked Ono again, and then went back to his lounge to catch up on his sleep.

They watched Yoshio Shinozuka leave, and then Akita and Hayata stepped forward together and helped Ono up.

Akita said seriously: "Ono-kun, although what you said just now has offended my Akita United.

But I still want to hear your unique perspective.”

Ono: “I can’t say that my views are unique, but there is one thing I am sure of.

In the direction of Huting, the Eighth Route Army’s troops are definitely not a regiment.”

Akita: "So Ono-kun, what do you think I should pay attention to?"

Ono thought for a moment and said, “This Eighth Route Army unit really likes to use explosives in combat.

So when you are chasing, don't enter any strongholds, don't pass through them, go around them if you can."

The Eighth Route Army is still dealing with you in two places, one of which is the Huting stronghold.

You must not go into the stronghold, it is very dangerous in there.

According to the habit of the Eighth Route Army, they will fill up the trench, and you can pass through from both sides of the tiger pavilion.

Another one is the entrance to Liulang Mountain, where there is a mountain road of nearly one kilometer.

There is a steep cliff on one side of the mountain road. If there are mines buried there, even if they don't kill you, they will bury you alive.

So when you reach the mountain pass, if you haven't encountered the Eighth Route Army, you can come back.

If we go any further, I'm afraid it will be dangerous."

"Oh, Ono-kun, I didn't expect that you not only know how to march and fight, but you are also a living map. I'm very grateful."

After saying this, he led his regiment out under the watchful eyes of Lieutenant Generals Ono and Hayata.

Hayata: "Ono-kun, what do you think of this battle?"

Ono: “General Hayata, I have heard of Li Yunlong’s Eighth Route Army. He rarely lost when fighting against the Empire.

Captain Akita, if you can listen to my advice this time, the losses will not be too great.

I am afraid that someone will urge him to pursue them forcefully. By then, I am afraid that only one out of ten will survive."

Lieutenant General Tomohisa Hayata thought about the character of his own Commander Shinozuka and sighed helplessly.

In order to give an explanation to the headquarters, Yoshio Shinozuka actually did something like urging the troops to advance recklessly.

Li Yunlong had already returned to Huting and looked at the roads and trenches here, which were almost destroyed.

He immediately arranged for the soldiers to pick up the injured and rescued people and rush into the mountains.

He also went to the front-line command post to report the handover situation to the brigade commander.

The brigade commander said: "Since everyone has been brought back safely, let's withdraw."

Li Yunlong: "Commander, let's go back now. Aren't we going to attack Taiyuan?"

Chief: "We have moved everything we need to move. If we don't leave quickly, are we waiting for the Japanese to bomb us?

Besides, this Huting stronghold is completely unprotected.

If we stay here, we can only wait and be bombed by the Japanese artillery shells.

Liulang Mountain has a narrow terrain and is only suitable for ambushes, not for large-scale troop operations.

It would be a waste of manpower to keep our two brigades here.

Li Yunlong, don't glare at me. If you want to blame someone for this, you can only blame our Commander Song."

Song Wenwan was just about to hold some melon seeds and listen to the two of them bickering, but she didn't expect that she had her own business to attend to.
