Of course, Commander Liu Wencai would not put his unhappiness on his face. He was a politician and would not be so shameless.

These traitors actually understand in their hearts that no matter how they beautify themselves, they are still Taijun's dogs, and Taijun is their master. There is no need for him to go to death to offend Taijun for this matter.

He came to Xincheng, a poor place, not to be angry, but to be in power. Now that he needs the support of the emperor, he naturally does not need to hold grudges against these little people.

Nothing these days has nothing to do with the control of military strength. Look at the influential figures who have held great power and stood at the top in recent years. When they lose their military power, they are no different from chickens and dogs.

You can be manipulated by others, and if you are lucky, you can still live in an apartment. Once you make someone unhappy, the life of your whole family will be in danger.

As for Liu Wencai himself, although he is a lieutenant general, he does not have much power in his hands, so he only serves as a senior adviser or something like that.

Others treated him politely, but that was just superficial. To put it mildly, they just gave him alms and food. Who really took him seriously?

If nothing else, even a small figure like Wang Zhengyi, a local rich man, doesn't take him seriously. Why, it's not because he doesn't have real power in his hands.

Therefore, he must perform actively, firmly grasp the military power, and establish a foothold in the new city as soon as possible. It will not be too late to settle accounts with these little people.

As a senior adviser, he was just an idler. His access to military intelligence and war reports was artistically processed. He really didn't take the Eighth Route Army seriously.

The commanders of the puppet army are ignorant, the officers and soldiers are afraid of fighting, and there is still discord among the Japanese. This is the current situation of the Japanese and puppet army.

This puppet army has many problems, and the Japs are not much better. If a squadron of Japs is strong-willed, ferocious in style, and fairly well-equipped at the beginning of the war.

Then it is worth Zhang Yunfei thinking about whether it is worth fighting with the opponent head-on, but the current Japs really don't have much deterrence.

Although Kato Jusuke anticipated that the Eighth Route Army might come to ambush him, he managed to understand his enemies, but failed to know himself.

Moreover, he did not expect that Zhang Yunfei was determined to deal with him and wanted to win another battle to completely establish his absolute dominance in the new city.

Therefore, Zhang Yunfei had no intention of letting go of the Japanese and puppet troops who came to his door.

The Japanese and puppet troops marched to the Fengling area of ​​New South Wales. Fengling is located in a shallow mountainous and hilly area and is the seat of the government of New South Wales.

Now whenever something happens to the Japanese and puppet troops, they will attack them first. This time, Zhang Yunfei did not take it as seriously as last time. Instead, he took the initiative to attack and resist the enemy. The troops mainly set up ambushes at the wall outside Fengling.

, Sanhegou line.

Ever since Kato Shigesuke left the new city, his troops had set up a battle formation to be on guard. After all, there were fewer and fewer areas that the imperial army could truly control absolutely.

Except for a small area around the county seat, the other vast areas are the so-called guerrilla zones of the Eighth Route Army. They may encounter obstruction by the Eighth Route Army guerrillas at any time.

Having said that, both Kato Shigesuke and Liu Wencai felt that they would not encounter the Eighth Route Army so early.

After all, with such a large army, no matter what happens, the Eighth Route Army will not place the battlefield in the area surrounding the county.

According to usual practice, they would only deploy their troops in areas loyal to the regime. In the last Battle of Fenglung, the Eighth Route Army launched its campaign by surrounding Fenglun, so they felt that Zhang Yunfei would also defend Fenglun this time.

According to the intelligence collected by all parties, a large part of the public grain collected by the Eighth Route Army in the two counties of Xincheng (Xincheng is divided into Xinnan and Xinbei counties on the territory of the Eighth Route Army) was concentrated in Fengling, where the local government was located, and then transported to the mountainous areas.

Now that the autumn grain harvest has been completed, there will definitely be a lot of grain piled here, so this time Kato Shigesuke made Seal Ridge the first target of his attack.

Kato Shigesuke's purpose was obvious. Although he was heading for the Eighth Route Army, the task given to him by his superiors was to grab food.

In fact, he is not very sure about these two goals. Although he is confident that he can defeat the Eighth Route Army, he is confident that he can completely eliminate the Eighth Route Army.

The Eighth Route Army's survivability is too strong, and it is impossible for them to stay there and let themselves kill them. Once something goes wrong, they will run away and lose their traces quickly.

By then, their plight will still be unable to be solved, or even slightly alleviated.

Therefore, the decisive battle with the Eighth Route Army was just his personal idea, and he did not tell anyone. He still hated that the majestic army had to do such a dirty job of robbing food.

So he secretly adjusted this mission to grab food as the means, lure out the Eighth Route Army, and annihilate the opponent as the goal.

However, these are all his self-deceptions. The task given to him by the superiors is to grab food. Only with enough food can the imperial army hold on and avoid starvation this winter.

So whether it was to cope with errands or out of practical considerations, although he regarded grabbing food as a secondary task, he still needed to take it into consideration.

Therefore, according to Kato's expectation, he was prepared to quickly grab a handful before the Eighth Route Army could react and the troops had not been adjusted in place. It didn't matter how much or how little he grabbed. He had an explanation for how much.

Let me mention here that Fengling is the local government seat of the Eighth Route Army, not the headquarters of the New Ninth Regiment. The New Ninth Regiment is located at the junction of the four counties.

In normal times, the garrison forces at Fengling are composed of district squads, basic militiamen, and other miscellaneous local armed forces.

Therefore, in Kato Shigesuke's opinion, as long as he was fast enough, he still had hope of raiding Fengling before the main force of the Eighth Route Army could react and arrive. As for the local armed forces of the Eighth Route Army, he did not take it seriously at all.

Kato Jusuke was somewhat proud of his own tactics. He was able to fool his superiors and was also very successful at defeating the Eighth Route Army.

Now that they are about to enter the Fengling area, their actions have not been harassed at all, although occasionally black guns are fired from a distance.

But it was very far away, and it was doubtful whether the bullet would fly in front of the team. Therefore, in Kato Shigesuke's opinion, it was not so much a black shot fired by the Eighth Route guerrillas, but rather a warning shot.

This fully shows that his early tactical preparations were effective. Tubalu was really anxious and caught him off guard. Even his usual harassment battle was far below the level and had no effect.

Fighting against these Tubal Roads does not require high combat effectiveness, but more importantly how to catch their traces. The local armed resistance of Tubal Road can be ignored.

Therefore, in Kato Shigesuke's view, it should not be a problem for him to bloodbath Feng Ling this time. As long as he can grab the food from the eighth route of Feng Ling, as long as the food is obtained, his main mission will be completed perfectly, and he will be free to take over.
