The brigade commander, Major General Tamamidi, punched the table, his sinister face twisted with anger: "Baga! Damn the Chinese!"
Facing the brigade commander who was gritting his teeth, all the officials and subordinates in the brigade were as silent as ice, not even daring to breathe.
They have received information that the Chinese army that suffered heavy losses to them has successfully broken through to Jiangyin and has become a hero of the Chinese people. Now the major newspapers in China are rushing to report on it.
The originally sluggish morale of the Chinese army was boosted by this incident, and they even launched local counterattacks on many fronts. This made the commander of the dispatched army very angry and ordered the Thirteenth Division to take responsibility for the incident and report it to the headquarters.
A satisfactory answer.
Major General Tomomidi roared angrily: "This is the shame of the Imperial Army! This is the shame of the Thirteenth Division! You have brought shame to the military flag!"
"Hi!" The Japanese officers and subordinates all bowed their heads heavily, feeling ashamed and full of anger at the same time. They wished they could go and destroy the Chinese army that had humiliated them right now.
Yang Ling and his troops withdrew from Shanghai, gathered the broken troops and strengthened their strength along the way. They fought several times with the pursuing Japanese soldiers and gained a lot. Now they have become an example for China to inspire military morale, which naturally makes the Japanese soldiers feel like they are in trouble.
If you want to get rid of it quickly.
After a long time, the brigade commander Major General Tomomichi, who had vented his anger, sat back in his chair slumped. He knew that he had lost his temper because of his anger. As a senior commander, he must be calm and calm even when the mountain is overwhelming.
He waved his hand, and the officials and subordinates who stood silent and solemn immediately began to get busy again.
Major General Tommidi put his elbows on the table and stretched out his hands to rub his temples. He was too tired these days. The unsatisfactory war made his temper worse and worse, especially that damn army, which made him feel more and more tired.
I got angry once.
"How is the search situation of the direct brigade?" Now that public opinion has boosted the morale of the China Army, he remembered sending people to find the radio station. If he could kill the senior China general, he might be able to win the battle.
The chief of staff replied: "The direct brigade has expanded the search area, but nothing has been found, and the listening office has no longer monitored the signal of the China radio station. I think I have not made a mistake?"
Major General Tommidi nodded. The chief of staff's analysis did make some sense. Otherwise, he wouldn't have discovered any clues. Too many things happened these days, which made him a little distracted.
"Order the direct-affiliated brigade to leave a small number of troops to continue the search, and the rest to withdraw." Although they were unwilling to give in, there was no extra time left for Major General Tomidi. They must concentrate their forces to capture Jiangyin as soon as possible.
The chief of staff also sighed heavily. After two days of hard work, there was no gain at all, which was really disappointing.
"Report!" While the two were talking, a staff officer hurried over, stood at attention, saluted, and handed a message to Major General Tomidi: "Commander of the brigade, an order has been sent from the division."
Major General Tommidi took the message and quickly browsed it, his face showing excitement.
The chief of staff asked curiously: "Tomomi-kun, what happened?"
"The Division Headquarters has received information that tomorrow the commander of the Jiangyin China Army will publicly award medals to the breakout China Army to boost morale. Our army is prepared to take this opportunity to deploy the 3rd, 9th, 17th and 101st Cavalry Brigades to flank
, the division headquarters requires our brigades to cooperate with the 9th and 11th divisions and the Chongteng detachment to launch a general offensive tomorrow and strive to capture Jiangyin in one fell swoop!"
"That's great!" The chief of staff became excited when he heard this. Now they have gathered a strong force of three and a half divisions near Jiangyin. Once they capture Jiangyin, they can march straight into Nanjing.
Major General Tamimi said murderously: "This time we will use the blood of the Chinese people to wash away the shame suffered by the military flag!"
He waved his hand to the chief of staff and said: "I heard that General Kawadahara has arrived at the forward base and the ammunition has also arrived. You can send someone to pick it up. You must ensure that the soldiers have sufficient ammunition when they attack tomorrow."
"Hai! I will get it in person." After the chief of staff finished speaking, he turned around and strode away from the brigade headquarters.
The order to launch a general offensive tomorrow was issued to all units. The Japanese soldiers became excited and geared up, preparing to make further achievements.
The Japs' advance base was even more busy. Cars covered with raincoats roared into the base. These cars transported countless ammunition, gasoline and supplies here. These additional ammunition were enough for the troops to launch a high-intensity local attack.
Battle.
The sky was getting dark, and in the grass on a low hill about a kilometer away from the Japs' advance base, Yang Ling was holding up Cao Changjing to observe the Japs' camp where cars were constantly coming in and out.
Li Abacus is a local villager and is very familiar with every plant and tree around him. With him as a guide, Yang Ling can clearly understand where there are Japs and where they can easily hide people.
This Japanese camp was the last camp that Yang Ling and the others investigated. When he saw countless cars covered with raincloths coming in and out, Yang Ling couldn't move his feet and his heart began to tremble. Based on his experience, he judged that this should be
A Japanese material transfer base or arsenal, if it could be knocked out...
"Batalion Commander, you don't want to attack here, do you?" Qin Shou swallowed his saliva when he saw the heavily guarded Japanese camp, and asked the excited Yang Ling uncertainly, because he knew Yang Ling's temper so well that he would never
Let this opportunity pass.
"This should be the enemy's arsenal or material base. If we destroy it, we can reduce the pressure on the front line."
My mother, I was really afraid of what was coming. I just asked uncertainly, but I didn’t expect that I, the battalion commander, really wanted to fight, and I suddenly screamed in my heart.
Qin Shou shrank his head: "I told you, battalion commander, why don't we change the fight to a smaller one? I think the Japanese sentry post we investigated before is good..."
"If we want to fight those worthless things, let's fight the big ones. It's boring to fight the small ones." Yang Ling gave Qin Shou a blank look.
Before Qin Shou could continue to complain, Yang Ling had already put Cao Changjing away and said, "Let's go back and do the total first."
When Yang Ling and the others returned to the village, the enthusiastic villagers had already prepared the meal. The fragrant white rice and the mouth-watering fried bacon made the brothers who had been eating Japanese biscuits and drinking cold water these days have their Adam's apples turn and salivate.
"Tui'er, go get dad's bottle of shochu, and reward these leaders and bosses who fight the devils today." Li Abacus was also a rare act of generosity, and shouted to a girl wearing a floral cotton coat.
Li Cuier faced Qin Shou's glaring eyes and let out a dissatisfied sigh. She twisted her two braids and turned around to go out. Qin Shou withdrew his gaze in embarrassment, but he still glanced at Li Cuier's haunting look from the corner of his eye.
Back view.
"Qin Shou, what are you looking at?" Yang Dashu put his hand on Qin Shou's shoulder, followed his gaze and looked out of the room and asked in confusion.
Qin Shou: "You don't care what I look at, just eat your food." He picked up the earthen bowl and started to put the rice into his mouth with big mouthfuls, but in his heart, he was thinking about Li Cuier's two braided braids, they are so beautiful.
