Chapter 65 The Untrusted Puppet Army
After scolding, Major Fujita ordered the command department to be murderous and insulted: "Notify all officers of the squadron leader or above in the garrison brigade to arrive here for a meeting within half an hour. The commander of the Imperial Army also notified that those who have not arrived for half an hour will be engaged in military law!"
Major Fujita could not wait to eliminate the guerrillas in Donghui Town. After giving the order, he walked to the map to study the tactics. This time he planned to lead his troops into the mountain himself.
Twenty minutes later, all the people were still gasping for breath, obviously jogging all the way.
A total of seven officers or more, a puppet corps commander with the rank of lieutenant colonel, sat on both sides of the conference table.
Fujita walked in from outside, and the eight subordinates agreed to each other and stood up from the chair and saluted.
"Sit down!" Major Fujita waved his hand, without saying a word of nonsense.
Take out the information I just received and throw it hard on the table, then explain.
"This is all the information about the guerrillas in Donghui Town. I have read it. The content inside is so surprising to me. I believe that everyone here will be shocked after reading it. I can't believe what the above said is true."
"Shame! The imperial army, which was facing the battleground, was defeated twice in a row by a guerrilla team. If it weren't for my own eyes, I wouldn't believe that this was true. Moreover, it would be embarrassing that such a thing happened to my army."
Speaking of this, Fujita's face became even more angry and he suddenly ordered.
"Futianjun, I ask you to read the information to everyone so that everyone can know how many people there are in the guerrillas in Donghui Town, how many guns there are, and whether there are foreign players nearby!"
Captain Fukuda quickly stood up.
At first I thought I had fought against the guerrillas and knew them, so the commander asked me to read about the information.
After picking up the information and taking a quick glance at the contents above, Fukuda knew that he was wrong.
The content of the information was completely contrary to the report he had reported to the captain a few days ago. The captain asked him to think about the information, which was clearly to slap himself in the face.
Because of shame, his face turned red immediately. He quickly apologized to Fujita: "Superior, he is guilty of being humble. After he was defeated and returned to the county town, he lied to you about military information in order to shirk responsibility and deliberately exaggerated the enemy's strength. Please punish me!"
"Remember!" Fujita was indifferent and ordered with a calm face.
"As for your problem, let's make a decision after the battle."
Captain Fukuda's forehead was covered with cold sweat, and he quickly replied: "Thank you, sir, I will definitely make meritorious service for my humble position, fight bravely, and kill the Donghui Town guerrillas."
After saying that, I picked up the information again: "After investigation, it was confirmed that the total strength of Donghui Town was no more than 200 people, and it was only equipped with light machine guns and mortars..."
"Enough!" Fukuda broke up from his seat as soon as he finished reading Fujita.
Then, with the murderous intent of his subordinates, he ordered: "Since everyone already knows the true strength of the Donghui Town guerrillas, there is no need to wait any longer. I decided to send troops after dawn, go straight to Jinshan, and kill this enemy."
"The guerrillas in Donghui Town slapped the Imperial Army twice in a row, which is unbearable. This time, they must be eliminated no matter what, so that an Eighth Route Army will escape the net."
"The second and third squadrons of infantry, the first mortar team, and the first heavy machine gun team, I personally commanded it. I left the city at 9 o'clock in the morning and marched towards Jinshan and attacked the guerrillas in Donghui Town."
The squadron leader who received the mission quickly stood up. Except for Captain Fukuda, the others were filled with smiles as if they had won the jackpot.
"Taijun, should our Imperial Army send troops?" The commander of the puppet corps suddenly stood up and asked guiltily.
The last time he attacked the guerrillas, the two companies Fukuda took away were almost completely destroyed.
After knowing the result, the team leader felt heartbroken for a long time.
Hearing that the troops were going to attack the guerrillas again, the regiment commander subconsciously wanted to refuse.
But as soon as this idea appeared, I heard the news that Major Fujita wanted to lead his troops himself.
The two infantry squadrons were dispatched at the same time, and they also brought a large number of mortars and heavy machine guns. The target was only a guerrilla team with a total strength of less than 200 people. Even if an accident occurred on the battlefield, the Imperial Army would not fail.
In the eyes of the regiment commander, the Japanese will definitely win this next attack.
Since this is the case, the Imperial Army said that nothing can be missed this good opportunity to give away military achievements for nothing.
"Imperial Army!" Major Fujita fell silent after saying these three words.
The role played by the Imperial Army is crucial for the guerrillas to grow in a short period of time.
He won't want to give so many excellent soldiers to the guerrillas for free.
The Imperial Army stayed in the city, the Eighth Route Army was outside the city, and there were still Imperial Army watching in the city. Unless the county town was captured and the entire Imperial Army was destroyed, the Imperial Army would definitely not have the possibility of surrendering to the Eighth Route Army.
Field combat is different from defending the city. Once the troops leave the city, even if the troops gather together to operate, the Imperial Army will still have the opportunity to fight alone.
Without the Imperial Army's supervision, the chances of the Imperial Army surrendering to the guerrillas were too high, so he did not want them to participate in this attack at all.
But after seeing the longing gaze of the puppet legion commander, he was not able to refuse.
Although I was very dissatisfied with them, I was my subordinate after all.
My subordinates asked for a fight from him. As a boss, they could not refuse in terms of emotion or reason. They attacked their enthusiasm and thought about the order.
"You draw a company to cooperate with the Imperial Army to attack the Donghui Town guerrillas."
This decision was made by Major Fujita after careful consideration.
The Imperial Army has more than 400 people and the Imperial Army has more than 100 people. We can definitely keep them in a tight position to prevent them from surrendering to the guerrillas.
Another thing is that people will die in wars and some people will be injured. Although the Imperial Army cannot fight, it can help the Imperial Army carry wounded people and carry supplies, reduce the burden on the Imperial Army and reduce non-combat personnel, so that the Imperial Army can fight guerrillas wholeheartedly.
At the guerrilla camp, more than a hundred soldiers came in and out, transporting the unfinished food into the depths of Jinshan.
Tang Yufeng was very conscientious and quickly got into the state.
As soon as the meeting ended last night, I became familiar with Zhou Cheng and got to know the guerrillas.
At this moment, he was commanding the troops to transport supplies and food into the mountains.
"Captain, the food and ammunition have been emptied, and it's the turn of ordinary supplies!" Tang Yufeng found Zhou Cheng's report, with a smile on his face.
The guerrillas have more food and material reserves than they thought, which means that in the future, the pressure on their shoulders will be much less.
"How long will it take!" This is the question that Zhou Cheng is most concerned about.
"Three hours should be about the same!" Tang Yufeng thought for a while and answered.
Zhou Cheng nodded: "Let the soldiers not be anxious, pay attention to maintaining their physical strength, and complete the transfer before dark."
Before he could finish his words, the reconnaissance squad leader Tang Shengbo suddenly appeared at the gate of the station and rushed towards him with a heavy breath.
Zhou Cheng's heart skipped a beat, and a bad premonition came out of his mind.
"Captain, the Japanese in the county have sent troops and left the city on time at 9:00 in the morning. I ran on the road for two hours, and I should be able to reach Jinshan Pass in another two hours."
Chapter completed!
