Colonel Saikawa Yasunai, commander of the 1st Regiment of the 2nd Japanese Heavy Artillery Brigade, sat in the compartment of a Type 98 full-track artillery tractor with a cigarette in his mouth, looking at the busy soldiers around him and the morning glow.
Sky's eyes were full of impatience.
As a top student who graduated from the Artillery Department of the Mainland University, Nishikawa Kanagi naturally has the capital to be proud of.
These days, the artillery is a serious technical branch, and its salary and status are much higher than those of the infantry. In addition, since the July 7th Incident, his Second Heavy Artillery Brigade has repeatedly made military exploits. This is the reason why he has been in the army for more than ten years.
The reason why he was promoted from a second lieutenant to a colonel in 2008.
Just when Saikawa Kanna was bored, a major strode up to him and loudly said: "Your Excellency, Colonel, all the artillery has been parked and the camouflage net has been laid."
"Yoshi!"
Nishikawa Kangnai nodded with satisfaction: "Thank you for your hard work, Mr. Sanpu. Tell the troops that they can prepare breakfast."
The Major hesitated for a moment, "Your Excellency, Colonel, we have just laid out the air defense network. Should we wait until the air defense firepower is deployed before letting the soldiers have breakfast? The intelligence sent from the front has repeatedly emphasized that this time we are facing China.
The army has a very elite air force, and we are told to be careful, and you must not be careless."
"Miura-kun, you are too nervous."
Nishikawa Kangna laughed, jumped out of the car and patted his shoulder, "The Chinese air force was completely wiped out by the Army Air Force of the Empire of Japan three years ago. How can this elite air force come from? This is just a
Those foot soldiers are just making excuses for their incompetence."
"But……"
"Nothing but."
Nishikawa Kana interrupted him, "Those cowards have been scared out of their wits by the Chinese. Think about it for yourself, what kind of life did we spend along the way for these cowards?
Since entering Zhongtiao Mountain, our non-combat casualties have reached more than 20 people, and we even damaged a Type 90 heavy cannon. I don't even dare to report this to the brigade commander. Do you understand?
?”
"Hi...I understand!"
Looking at the displeased expression on the captain's face, the major understood it all too well.
The heavy artillery brigade is all equipped with heavy artillery, the lightest of which weighs dozens of tons. Such artillery has very high requirements for roads. It is already very difficult to enter Zhongtiao Mountain, let alone marching at night, which is difficult
It has increased geometrically.
In the past few days after entering Mount Nakatiao, they had suffered dozens of non-combat casualties in order to rush on their way. There was even a truck that drove into a ditch at night, causing damage to an artillery piece. This was what dissatisfied Nishikawa Kanna the most.
reason.
In his opinion, this was all because of the stories those stupid infantry units made up to avoid punishment, but the heavy artillery brigade took the blame. The world was really unfair.
Just as Nishikawa Kanna became more and more angry, a Japanese soldier hurriedly ran over and reported, "Your Majesty Colonel, there is a team outside, claiming to be from the 3rd Battalion of the 58th Infantry Regiment of the 31st Division.
, was ordered to come and meet us.”
"From the 31st Division?"
Nishikawa Kanai, who was already in a bad mood, was furious when he heard this: "Baga... when did the heavy artillery brigade need people to protect it? Are the 31st Division humiliating us? You tell those idiots immediately, the second heavy artillery
The brigade does not need their protection, let them go back to where they came from!"
"Wait a moment."
Major quickly stopped the furious Nishikawa Kanai, "Sir Colonel, we may not like them, but we can't just drive them back. Once these people return to the 31st Division, they will truthfully report the situation to Shigesaburo Miyazaki."
We will all be in trouble if the division commander."
Major Miura's words calmed down the angry Nishikawa Kanai. Regardless of whether he admitted it or not, you said it was humiliating or looked down upon. The 31st Division was able to send a force to meet them. At least in terms of politeness, it was blameless.
of.
If you insist on driving people away, everything will be normal from now on. Once something happens to their team, they can blame them entirely. I have fulfilled my responsibility. It was you who drove people away.
, you can’t blame me if something happens.
A person who can become a captain cannot be a fool. Nishikawa Kanai quickly calmed down: "Okay, call that major here."
Soon, a 27- or 28-year-old major was brought to him.
The visitor gave him a salute: "Your Majesty, Colonel, Captain Nishimura Shichio of the 3rd Battalion of the 58th Regiment of the 31st Division has been ordered to report to you."
"Fifty-eighth Regiment?"
Nishikawa Kanna looked at the other party with a faint expression on his face, "Did your division commander ask you to protect us?"
"Your Majesty Colonel, you have misunderstood."
The major who claimed to be Nishimura Nanao was disguised as Yu Murata Shuzo.
Murata Shuzo explained: "Our division commander is very happy about the arrival of the heavy artillery brigade. The division commander is afraid that you are not familiar with the roads in Zhongtiao Mountain. In addition, the guerrillas in Zhongtiao Mountain have been very active recently, so he sent us
I came here to guide you and prevent you from unnecessary losses."
"Commander Miyazaki is really interested..."
Nishikawa Kana was furious. Murata Shuzo's first words were normal, but in his opinion, the last words were a slap in the face.
What does it mean to avoid unnecessary losses, and what does it mean to lead the way? Are you mocking us for not even being able to read a map?
However, although he was furious in his heart, the most basic city still existed. He nodded with a smile, "In that case, there is the Major of Laoxi Village. You can take your people to the surrounding area to be on guard now."
Bar."
"Hi!"
Murata Shuzo seemed expressionless, but he was overjoyed in his heart. He bowed to Saikawa Kana and left.
As soon as Murata Shuzo left, Major Miura felt a little sorry, "Your Majesty, Colonel, Major Nishimura just arrived and asked them to go on guard without even eating. Isn't it too..."
Nishikawa Yasunai said coldly: "What are you afraid of? Aren't their 31st Division very capable? Then work a little longer, especially this Major Nishimura, who carries an aristocratic air whether he talks or walks.
It’s disgusting to look at.”
"Aristocratic posture?" Miura looked at him with some confusion.
"Believe me, it's absolutely right." Nishikawa Yasunai's tone was very firm: "I can smell the disgusting smell of those Tokyo guys from aristocratic backgrounds from ten miles away. It's absolutely unmistakable."
It has to be said that Nishikawa Kana's intuition is very sensitive. Murata Shuzo did come from a noble family, but he never dreamed that this major, who came from the same country as him and graduated from the same military academy, would now get his permission.
, he clearly observed the campsite of the entire First Regiment of the Heavy Artillery Brigade.
