"Nani? You said Chengde City was captured by a group of bandits?" Terube Tanibe asked this question for the fifth time after getting a letter handed to him by the Chinese bastard in front of him.
"Yes~~Yes~~~Yes, Mr. Tanibe." A young man with thick eyebrows and big eyes, wearing a short green coat, white socks, and black cloth shoes, stammered and replied with a southern accent.
"Baga, you're lying." Terube Tanibe threw the letter in his hand on the table, grasped the handle of the command sword, and pulled out his command sword that had been with him for more than ten years.
The command knife was well maintained by Tanibe. The blade coated with butter shone strangely under the dim light of the lantern. It was not very sharp, but it was definitely a good knife that could kill people.
"Yours is not a good person, he is dead." Terube Tanibe said with a sinister look on his face, waving his command knife and slashing at the young man.
Under Tanibe Terube's fierce eyes and strange sword light, the young man was so frightened that he collapsed on the ground, looking at the oncoming blade with despair in his eyes.
The tip of the knife stopped more than ten centimeters above the head of the young man who was so frightened that he collapsed on the ground.
There was a sudden smell of urine in the room. Terube Tanibe looked at the Chinese servant who had reported the news to him, and found that the area between the legs of the Chinese servant who had reported the news to him was already wet.
It turned out that under the terrifying blade, the relatively strong young man was actually scared to death.
But, this is how an ordinary person should behave.
Terube Tanibe frowned in disgust, but the suspicion on his face disappeared. He put his command sword into the sheath with his backhand and pointed at the young man: "Yours, stand up and tell me the situation clearly.
What is going on."
However, the young man lay on the ground for half a minute, and then he tremblingly managed to stand up with his weak legs.
An ordinary Chinese servant who was not frightened to death on the spot when a Japanese major general drew his sword and killed someone after a disagreement was already considered to be a little courageous.
Although he continued to stutter and did not follow up with his words, but based on the rough description in the letter asking for help from Han Tianhao, the first wealthy man in the city to defect to the Eighth Division, Terube Tanibe, who is proficient in Chinese, basically understood it.
The causes and consequences of the entire incident.
A group of more than 600 bandits, known as the Qinglong Mountain Bandits, really captured Chengde City early yesterday morning. Second Lieutenant Maki Kagawa and his entire infantry team who were guarding the city were attacked by a group of Manchus in the city.
The soldiers rebelled and all fought bravely to death.
Why Han Tianhao dared to say that the group of Manchurian soldiers rebelled was because he saw with his own eyes that the squad leader of the Manchurian soldiers, Liu Aba, followed the bandit leader with a cannon attached. It was also he who led the bandits to plunder every wealthy family in the city.
The remains of Second Lieutenant Maki Kagawa and the remains of 53 imperial officers and soldiers under his command are still displayed by the bandits on West Street, and almost everyone in Chengde City has seen them.
The bandits, led by Manchurian soldiers, have occupied the material warehouse of the Eighth Division. They are busy transporting materials with the stolen carriages. From grain to ammunition, at least forty carriages have been transported out of the city. At the same time, they
They are still plundering the whole city. Now, Chengde City is full of desolation, like a hell on earth.
The purpose of Han Tianhao risking his life and sending his subordinates to deliver a message to His Excellency Lieutenant General Xi Yiyi was to hope that His Excellency Lieutenant General Xi Yiyi would quickly send troops to suppress the bandits.
Otherwise, Chengde City will be in ruins, and the logistics warehouse of the Eighth Division will also be robbed by bandits.
Han Tianhao was very smart. He knew that he and others might not be as good as ants in the eyes of the Eighth Division. He did not beg His Excellency Nishi Yiichi to rescue him from the sea of misery. Instead, he used pen and ink to show his understanding of the logistics of the Imperial Japanese Army.
Deep worry in the warehouse.
This time it made Terube Tanibe tearful.
After waving his hand and driving the timid Chinese out of the temporary headquarters, Terube Tanibe sat down on the marching chair and stared blankly at the sky, his red eyes silently leaving two lines of tears.
They experienced inhumane humiliations such as being attacked head-on by Luo Wenyu's defenders, the heavy artillery brigade being blown up by a sneak attack, the commander of the Xiyi 1st Division being seriously injured and comatose, and the powerful 8th Division being pursued by the small Chinese Great Wall Regiment.
The bitter and strong Major General Terube Tanibe did not cry.
He is still working hard to lead the 8th Division to deal with the powerful enemy. Even if the enemy is as powerful as taking medicine, Major General Terube Tanibe has always firmly believed that as time goes by and the weather improves,
The final victory must belong to the empire.
But now, after hearing this sudden news, Tanibe Terube couldn't help but cry.
It’s really the Eighth Division of Heavenly Death!
Defeats after defeats on the battlefield and heavy losses in personnel were something that Teru Tanibe could bear. However, the remaining 10,000 people who could support the Eighth Division had enough food for one month and enough food for one month.
The ammunition was looted, but it was an unbearable pain for Teru Tanibe.
Without these, what can the Eighth Division do when it returns to the three eastern provinces? How long can the so-called brown sugar tactics be sustained? After half a month of fierce battle with the Liu Lang Independent Regiment, the Eighth Division's army reserves have arrived
The situation is so critical that all food and grass will be exhausted in at most two days.
If he hadn't been afraid that a single unit would be attacked by the ubiquitous Great Wall Regiment, Terube Tanibe would have sent a unit to Chengde City three days ago to obtain supplies.
Unexpectedly, the army rations that the division had prepared after plundering half of Rehe were actually robbed by a group of bandits. How can outsiders understand that kind of pain?
Compared with the food that can feed the entire division, the twenty or so boxes of gold and silver jewelry looted from Rehe Province with great effort did not make Terube Tanibe too sad, and those things
If you can't eat it, you'll just grab it back later.
However, now that there is no food, the entire Eighth Division will go hungry.
In fact, Tanibe Terube felt that even if he was robbed by Liu Lang's Great Wall Regiment, he would feel better. After all, when the two armies are fighting, both sides have their own tricks, and destroying the other's logistics is also a trick. If they lose like this
A tough opponent, Terube Tanibe was convinced and had nothing to say.
However, now his life was cut off by such a group of Chinese bandits who jumped out of nowhere. No matter how he thought about it, Teru Tanibe felt sad and aggrieved.
That kind of indescribable frustration made the strong Major General Terube Tanibe burst into tears.
Whether it was the daring Chinese bandits or the insane class of Manchurian soldiers, Tanibe Teru hated them all.
The grain must be snatched back no matter what. Two hundred thousand kilograms of grain would require at least a hundred trucks to transport it. In addition, there are 20,000 rounds of artillery shells and nearly 10 million rounds of ammunition in the warehouse. With the greed of the bandits, how could they let it go?
Tanibe Terube was very shrewd and knew that even though twenty-four hours had passed, with the transportation capacity of hundreds of bandits, it was impossible to move the huge supplies in such a short period of time. Even if they were given forty-eight hours, it would not be possible.
