At the World War II Area Headquarters, a staff officer hurried into the war room. When he saw the chief of staff, he gasped and reported: "Sir, the cavalry company that went out came back to report that they have found the edge of our control area, but no transportation was seen.
Any trace of the team!"
The chief of staff was anxious and ordered without waiting for Commander Yan behind him to speak.
"Take out a platoon of security troops and surround the courtyard where the little devil lives. Not a single fly can escape!"
Just as his subordinates were about to leave, Commander Yan behind him ordered with a stern face: "Also, bring me Lieutenant Colonel Noda. If we are tricked by the little devil, just chop this Noda into pieces and feed it to the dogs!"
Soon, Lieutenant Commander Noda was brought to Commander Yan.
After knowing the situation, Noda's first reaction was that he didn't believe it, and then explained: "Sir, please believe in our Imperial Army! The Imperial Army keeps its word. Since it has decided to cooperate with your Jinsui Army, it will definitely not
I will regret it!"
"There must be some accident here. I'll send a telegram to the superiors immediately to inquire about the situation!"
"Then I'll wait here for your explanation!" Commander Yan ordered with a stern face.
As soon as Noda left, Chief Yan followed and ordered: "We can't just listen to the little Japs, they are invaders after all. Order our intelligence personnel to also take action to find out what happened!"
At six o'clock in the morning, Lieutenant General Fujino, who was guarding the war room, finally received news of the attacking troops.
"Division Commander, something seems to have happened unexpectedly!"
"The attacking troops were attacked by the Eighth Route Army. Judging from the firepower of the other side, they were not the guerrillas we had encountered before. They were the main force of the Eighth Route Army, and they had at least one company!"
"The attacking troops lost more than an infantry squad due to their counterattack just after the encounter!"
"Main force!" A very bad premonition suddenly flashed through Lieutenant General Fujino's mind.
With a stern face, he ordered: "I don't care whether they encounter the main force of the Eighth Route Army or not. Food, I just want that food. Let them quickly break through the Eighth Route Army's interception and find the missing food!"
"I am humble enough to give orders now!" the chief of staff replied quickly.
Before anyone could move, a communications staff officer rushed in.
"Sir, Noda Nakasa, who stayed behind in the Jinsui Army, sent an urgent message: The Jinsui Army's trading and transport troops have not returned yet. The Jinsui Army suspects that we are cheating and taking food without giving them weapons and ammunition!"
"Nani!" The bad premonition in Lieutenant General Fujino's mind became more intense, and he cursed loudly: "Bagh Yalu, who can tell me what happened?"
No one could answer his question.
The atmosphere in the busy war room suddenly became solemn.
Although the movements of everyone's hands did not stop, everyone became cautious. They were deeply afraid that they might inadvertently provoke the division commander, and then draw the division commander's anger onto themselves.
"Sir, there is an emergency call at the Shuidong Town stronghold. They were suddenly attacked by the Eighth Route Army..." A lieutenant communications officer suddenly rushed in and broke the solemn atmosphere in the war room.
"The Eighth Route Army that attacked them assembled at least thirty artillery pieces to attack them, most of which were mountain artillery and infantry artillery. As soon as the battle began, the machine gun bunker outside the stronghold was destroyed. The troops suffered heavy losses and were in urgent need of reinforcements!"
"Take the initiative to attack us? When did the new regiment of the Eighth Route Army become so bold!" Fujino was stunned for a moment and then cursed, with a look of shock and disbelief on his face.
The chief of staff reminded: "Division Commander, could it be because we just replaced the Imperial Army on the front line with the Imperial Association Army? The Eighth Route Army saw the opportunity, and then attacked Shuidong Town, trying to find out who the Imperial Association Army was.
Reality!"
"It's very possible!" Fujino's face looked much better.
Then he ordered: "If this is the case, then let us let the new regiment have a good look at the combat effectiveness of these Imperial Association Army ~ Let them know that these Imperial Association Army are no longer the Imperial Association Army they have encountered before!"
"Order, the Shuidong Town garrison will stay on the spot and wait for reinforcements..."
"Order, the nearby Royal Association Army garrison, especially the reserve team behind, immediately reinforce Shuidong Town and must withstand the Eighth Route Army's attack!"
After the order was issued, Lieutenant General Fujino returned his eyes to the sand table in front of him, wondering where the food had gone. What happened to the transaction between the Imperial Army and the Imperial Alliance Army last night? Why did both armies disappear for no reason?
!
The chief of staff suddenly reminded: "Division commander, it will be dawn in an hour. I suggest that you contact the aviation force immediately and let the aviation force search for that batch of food from the air!"
"More than a thousand large vehicles must not have disappeared for no reason. They must still be on some section of the road, even if there is an accident!"
Fujino's heart skipped a beat as he suddenly thought of something.
He asked the chief of staff with a stern face: "What did you just say!"
"It's almost dawn, should we contact the aviation force and ask them to search for the suddenly missing food from the air?" the chief of staff replied with a puzzled look.
"Yes, that's it!" Fujino's frown deepened now.
"We were almost deceived by the Eighth Route Army. The Eighth Route Army attacking Shuidong Town was definitely not to test the combat effectiveness of the Imperial Army!"
"What they are best at is night fighting. They launch the attack now when it's almost dawn. This is against common sense. There must be a conspiracy we don't know about!"
"Food, yes, it must be related to the food we disappeared!"
Before the chief of staff could react to the shock brought to him by this judgment, another combat staff officer rushed in.
"Sir, there is an urgent call to the Shuidong Town stronghold, and they are also being attacked by the Eighth Route Army behind them~"
"The Eighth Route Army that attacked them was also equipped with a large number of mountain artillery and mortars!"
"The stronghold was attacked from both front and rear by the Eighth Route Army. The losses were very heavy and it was almost unbearable!"
"I understand, I finally understand!" Fujino exclaimed with a look of sudden realization.
"As expected, we were tricked by the Eighth Route Army. The food that suddenly disappeared was not on this road, but here, in Shuidong Town!"
"The food must have been stolen by the Eighth Route Army, as well as the weapons we gave to the Jinsui Army. And this Eighth Route Army is the force that is attacking the Shuidong Town stronghold from behind!"
"Bageya Road, they are so cunning, they deceived us so miserably!"
"Order Shuidong Town to garrison troops and defend to the end~"
"Order the reserve team to reinforce Shuidong Town at all costs. We must hold the line of defense and block the food!"
"The garrison in Liu Town is too far away from Shuidong Town. Chief of Staff, you should immediately dispatch an infantry brigade from the city and march urgently to reinforce Shuidong Town!"
"There are also aviation troops. They will rush over as soon as dawn. We must block the food supply and kill those Eighth Route Army troops who dare to rob food in the areas occupied by the imperial army!"
