The melee between the New Regiment and the Japanese 57th Division had broken out in full force, and the news quickly spread back to the Japanese Far Eastern Army headquarters in Liuhe County.
After getting the news, the ghosts and bullets in the headquarters celebrated each other.
Kobayashi Asaburo said excitedly: "Your Excellency, Commander, according to the report of the 57th Division, the various interception teams they sent out in units of infantry squadrons have intercepted at least five small troops of the New Regiment.
The number of troops in a small unit is about two hundred, which is almost the structure of a company."
Yamashita Fengwen said: "Five small troops are five companies. Even after the reduction, the new regiment still has five infantry battalions and two cavalry battalions. This means that there are at least ten small troops.
Therefore, the interception team sent out by the 57th Division still needs to increase the scope and intensity of the search and strive to intercept all the China Army!"
"Hai!" Kobayashi Asaburo said after a pause, "I have already called the 57th Division and asked Miura-kun to strengthen the search intensity and scope of the new regiment's small troops."
"Yo Xi!" Yamashita Fengwen nodded happily and asked, "How is the situation of the pursuit regiment?"
"This..." Asaburo Kobayashi hesitated when he heard this. When he saw Yamashita Fengfumi's eyes glaring over, he could only continue, "The 38th Division, the 46th Division and the 48th Division
Although the regiment has broken through the bandits' blockage, the bandits have also changed their strategy. They no longer block the front, but instead use harassment. This has caused extremely serious troubles to the pursuit of the pursuit regiment. As of half an hour ago, the pursuit regiment was not far away from Liangjiang.
The town is still nearly fifty miles away!"
After a pause, Asaburo Kobayashi continued: "Due to the long detour distance, the 39th Division is still at least a hundred miles away from the battlefield. Considering the rugged mountain roads, when they arrive at the battlefield, how can they
It won’t be until noon tomorrow! So the 57th Division’s task is very arduous, and we must persist until noon tomorrow!”
Yamashita Fengwen frowned and asked again: "Where is the Inoue Brigade?"
Asaburo Kobayashi shook his head and replied: "The Inoue Brigade has gone into radio silence since they set off. We still don't know where they are, let alone whether they have caught up with the main force of the new regiment." There was a pause.
, and added, "But judging by my humble position, even if I haven't caught up yet, I should be almost there."
…
From the beginning to the end, Chiyoko Inoue did not want to participate in this pursuit.
From the moment she received the order from the Far Eastern Army Headquarters, Chiyoko Inoue was resistant to it in her heart.
However, this is not because Chiyoko Inoue feels pity, but because as a legendary shadow ninja, Chiyoko Inoue does not bother to kill chickens with a knife. Chiyoko Inoue always believes that her only opponent is Xu Rui, and even
Leng Tiefeng, the captain of the Wolf Fang Brigade, was not worthy of her taking action herself.
And the opponent of the Inoue Brigade can only be the Langya Brigade!
Therefore, letting Inoue Battalion hunt down the ordinary officers and soldiers of the New Regiment, in Inoue Chiyoko's view, is not only a huge waste of the empire's strategic resources, but also an insult to their Inoue Battalion! Although Inoue Chiyoko said it was carried out
She received orders from the Far Eastern Army Headquarters, but in her heart she was very dissatisfied with Yamashita Fengfumi.
In the end, Chiyoko Inoue's dissatisfaction was reflected in actual combat.
After the Inoue Battalion caught up with the rear troops of the new regiment, the three squadron captains, Mai Asahina, Yakushi Marukishichi and Yuichiro Kotani, were all eager to try and lead their respective teams to kill the Chinese soldiers, but Chiyoko Inoue did not.
He gave the three of them a basin of cold water.
"What are you chasing after?" Chiyoko Inoue's cold gaze passed over the faces of Mai Asahina, Yakushi Marukishichi and Yukazu Kotani, and said coldly, "As a ninja, as a specially trained special forces soldier,
Don't you feel ashamed that your ambition is just to hunt down a group of ordinary Chinese soldiers?"
Mai Asahina whispered: "Master, this is an order from the headquarters."
Chiyoko Inoue snorted and said disapprovingly: "Commander Yamashita has become in chaos because of his repeated defeats under Xu Rui, so he is full of fallacies at this critical moment!" After a pause, he continued.
Said, "Commander Yamashita ignored the most essential issue."
Yakushi Marukichichi said in a deep voice: "What issue was ignored?"
Chiyoko Inoue replied: "The mortal enemy of the empire is Xu Rui, not some new group!"
After a pause, Chiyoko Inoue continued: "If we can't kill Xu Rui himself, even if we kill his new group here, it will be of no use, because it won't be long before Xu Rui immediately
Another army will be raised, or a new second regiment, or a new third regiment, and Manchukuo will never have peace!"
Yakushimaru Jaiko was awestruck when he heard this, because he had to admit that what Inoue Chiyoko said was correct.
Chiyoko Inoue continued: "On the contrary, if we can kill Xu Rui here, then even if the whole New Regiment breaks out, it will not be a worry at all! After losing Xu Rui, the New Regiment will be
If you lose your military soul, even if you won't become vulnerable from now on, there is no doubt that your combat effectiveness will be severely reduced."
"Hai!" Yakushimaru Japanese paused and said, "With this, the imperial army can easily annihilate the new group."
"So, our target can only and must be Xu Rui!" Chiyoko Inoue said, "Before we fight Xu Rui and the Langya troops, we must not waste precious energy on other Chinese Harmony troops.
and energy, so if you encounter the Chinese Harmony Army, just try to disperse it as much as possible, and you don’t have to spend all your energy chasing and killing them!"
"Hai!" The three squadron leaders, including Mai Asahina, nodded with sincerity.
At that moment, the Inoue Brigade gave up the pursuit of the Chinese Harmony Army and began to concentrate on marching forward.
At this time, the sky has completely darkened, but this is nothing to the Inoue Brigade, which is composed of ninjas. With the help of six senses and reactions that are far superior to ordinary people, even in the dense forest where you can't even see your fingers.
In the middle, the members of Inoue's team can also run quickly.
Mai Asahina took two hurried steps, caught up with Chiyoko Inoue, and asked: "Master, will Xu Rui come over?"
"Yes, his troops are facing an existential crisis, and it is impossible for him to ignore death." Chiyoko Inoue nodded, then raised her head and looked at the night sky in front of her, and said faintly, "And I can feel that he has actually already
Here we come, right here, in this large valley!”
As soon as he finished speaking, a loud wolf howl suddenly sounded from the cliff a few kilometers ahead.
Hearing the howl of the wolf, Chiyoko Inoue, Mai Asahina and the Japanese special forces team members who were moving forward all stopped and raised their heads to look at the cliff ahead. However, because the distance was too far, even Chiyoko Inoue
He also couldn't clearly see the appearance of the wild wolf on the cliff ahead.
…
"Ouch~~"
This loud wolf howl not only reached the ears of the more than 100 members of the Inoue team, but also the ears of the more than 100 members of the Langya team, because the huge gray wolf on the cliff was Xu Rui
The pet king!
"Woof woof! Woof woof!" Before the wolf howled had dissipated, one after another the barking of dogs sounded again.
In the valley, after hearing the howling of wolves and the barking of dogs, the Langya team members who were marching along the valley stopped one after another.
Leng Tiefeng raised his head, glanced at the king standing majestically on the cliff and the dog kings and the two emperors next to him, then turned to Xu Rui and said: "Old Xu, the king and the two emperors seem to have discovered something?"
Xu Rui hummed slightly, nodded and said: "The second emperor's bark contained fear, and the king's howl was also more solemn than usual. The beasts are psychic. It seems that they have sensed that there is danger.
near!"
At this time, Zhuanshan Leopard suddenly said: "Animals are most afraid of the king of beasts. There can't be tigers, right?"
"No!" Xu Rui shook his head and said decisively, "The second emperor is not an ordinary dog, and the king is a wolf king. They are not afraid of tigers at all! The one coming in front is obviously a more terrifying existence than a tiger! If I hadn't guessed
If I'm wrong, it should be Chiyoko Inoue and his special operations team. Only people, only specially trained ninjas, can make them nervous!"
"Inoue Brigade?" Leng Tiefeng's lips immediately turned into a sinister smile and said, "I've been looking for them for a long time!"
"Give me the order." Xu Rui said solemnly, "Get ready to fight!"
…
Almost at the same time, Chiyoko Inoue also issued an order: "Disperse where you are and prepare to fight!"
After hearing Chiyoko Inoue's order, the more than a hundred ninja special forces who were moving forward quickly under the cover of night immediately stopped and dispersed.
Mai Asahina took out a black scarf from her bag and covered her face, and pulled out two daggers from the upper of her boots.
However, Chiyoko Inoue stood without moving, just raising her head and looking at a wolf and a dog on the cliff in front of her.
Almost at the same time that Inoue's brigade stopped advancing, the wild wolf on the cliff immediately raised its head and let out a deep howl. This howl was completely different from the one just now! Chiyoko Inoue's beautiful eyebrows
She immediately frowned slightly, almost instantly realizing that there was something weird about this wolf!
The wolf on the cliff ahead gave Inoue Chiyoko the feeling that it was like a sentinel responsible for looking out!
At that moment, Chiyoko Inoue said to Mai Asahina: "Xiao Mai, I'll leave this to you first. I'll go and come back."
After saying that, before Asahina Mai could say anything, Inoue Chiyoko's body just swayed slightly and disappeared from the place. When her figure reappeared, she was already dozens of meters away.
