"Major Noda, I want to know what happened in front of you? Is this the celebration show you boasted to the general?" Lieutenant Colonel Deputy Chief of Staff, who had recovered from the shock, stared at Noda with a pair of angry eyes.
road.
Major Noda suddenly thought of Hongquan Village, and a glimmer of hope rekindled his despairing face.
After the celebration is over, I will definitely become the laughing stock of my superiors and colleagues.
But if he had not been exposed for lying about his military exploits, then he would have received only one punishment at most, and he would not have been sent to a military court, which would have cut off the rest of his military career.
As long as the imperial army wins the battle in Hongquan Village, then there is still hope for him, and he will have no problem retaining his position as captain.
Major Noda's mind was running at high speed again, trying to think of a reason to fool the deputy chief of staff.
"Sir, calm down!"
After much deliberation, Major Noda decided to use the method he had just used.
"It must have been done by those anti-Japanese armed forces who slipped through the net. They didn't want us to successfully hold a celebration exhibition and announce their defeat, and then they would destroy our celebration exhibition at all costs!"
"Please rest assured, sir, I will definitely catch these saboteurs and give you an explanation, General!"
"Give me an hour to ensure that the celebration exhibition is restored to order!"
The lieutenant colonel frowned and asked: "Arrest? How did you arrest them? Everyone ran away? Also, why didn't you just order the troops to shoot to stop the Chinese!"
"As long as we surround them here and check them one by one, we will definitely be able to find those sneak attackers!"
Major Noda began to sweat on his forehead, forcing himself to calm down.
"Sir, in order to prevent the Chinese from destroying the celebration exhibition, sir, the common people you saw just now are good people in villages and towns who support our imperial army. They are local snakes. If the imperial army shoots at them and kills people, their majesty will definitely be wiped out.
The loss of reputation is not conducive to the imperial army’s rule over Lingqiu!”
"So I would rather let those fish that slip through the net temporarily and slowly find them and kill them in the future, so as not to affect the overall situation of the imperial army in Lingqiu!"
Lieutenant Colonel looked much better: "Noda-kun, you are right. The Imperial Army has too few troops. China is too big. If the Imperial Army wants to manage such a large territory, it must rely on the Chinese who support us. General, you are not the only one."
Say that once!”
"I'll give you two hours to restore the order of the celebration exhibition!"
"The celebration exhibition is to promote the imperial army's military exploits. It must not be turned into a joke!"
Major Noda breathed a sigh of relief and then began to issue orders.
I began to pray in my heart that on the battlefield in Hongquan Village, dozens of kilometers away, the imperial army would definitely win and kill the Eighth Route Army!
Even if the celebration exhibition in front of me is really destroyed, the label of lying about military achievements cannot be pinned on me.
It only took an hour for the celebration to resume order. Seeing a smile slowly appear on Lieutenant Colonel's tense face, Major Noda knew that he had passed this level.
Just as he was about to take a breath, a subordinate rushed over.
Major Noda recognized him at a glance as the squadron leader of his dispatched city.
Seeing the solemn look on the other party's face, which looked very ugly, Major Noda's heart skipped a beat and he felt a bit of a bad premonition.
"Sir...action..."
As soon as the squadron leader spoke, Major Noda kept winking at him, and then interrupted: "If you have any questions, please report to the headquarters. This is a celebration exhibition!"
The deputy chief of staff of the Lieutenant Colonel was not so easy to fool. He raised his eyebrows and asked: "Noda-kun, I always feel that something is wrong with you today. You are always uneasy. Is there something you are hiding from all of us? Now it seems to be true?"
"If you have something to report, please don't let your subordinates report it here. You can report it back to the headquarters. If it is something important, wouldn't it delay the military situation? You are still a major officer of the Imperial Army. You won't even forget this common sense!"
Major Noda was so anxious that he was sweating profusely, but he had no reason to refute.
I could only watch helplessly as the Lieutenant Colonel asked his squadron leader.
"Report anything here!"
"Looking at you rushing over here in such a hurry, what you want to report must be no small matter!"
"Hi!"
The squadron leader finally reacted, but it was too late, so he could only answer bravely.
"Sir, on our way to reinforce Hongquan Village, we encountered an Eighth Route Army blocking force. They have powerful firepower and are equipped with mortars and heavy machine guns. More than half of the reinforcements were killed before they reached Hongquan Village."
"In order to avoid unnecessary casualties for the troops, I took the initiative to lead the reinforcements back in my humble position. Please forgive me, sir!"
"Also, the sound of gunfire in the direction of Hongquan Village had stopped when Beizhong led the troops to retreat. Beizhong judged that the stronghold had been captured by the Eighth Route Army!"
"Continuing to reinforce there will not only fail to save the stronghold, but will also be attacked by the main force of the Eighth Route Army, trapping the reinforcements there as well!"
Major Noda stood nearby, his face turned pale again, and he could not say a word.
My last hope was shattered. I completely lost this gamble, and I didn't even have the chance to turn defeat into victory.
The Lieutenant Colonel next to him looked shocked at first, and then was replaced by anger.
"Noda-kun, didn't you report that all the anti-Japanese armed forces in Lingqiu have been killed by you, leaving only a few fish that slipped through the net?"
"Then tell me, what happened to the Hongquan Village stronghold he just reported? And why more than half of the reinforcements suffered casualties?"
The desperate Major Noda was like a defeated rooster, lowering his head without saying a word.
It took a long time before he answered: "Sir, I'm tired of my humble duties. Let the deputy captain report! He knows the whole thing!"
After saying that, Major Noda moved his feet and walked towards the headquarters with great difficulty.
He was done. Just lying about his military exploits was enough to ruin the rest of his life, and he didn't care about offending a deputy chief of staff who didn't have much real power in front of him.
Watching the captain's leaving figure slowly disappear, the deputy captain quickly reported: "Sir, the Eighth Route Army in Lingqiu has not been killed by us!"
"We only killed part of their troops in the last battle. It wasn't until yesterday that we learned that their main force still existed and launched an attack on our stronghold in Hongquan Village. They also used a trick to kill two squads of the Imperial Army and two Imperial Alliance Army units in advance.
Even the company is stationed at the stronghold of Huangquan Village!"
The lieutenant-commander was able to figure it out, and his furious face showed an expression of sudden realization.
"The Eighth Route Army first used a trick to kill the main garrison at the Hongquan Village stronghold, and then concentrated its forces to attack the Hongquan Village stronghold!"
"In order to remedy the situation, Major Noda immediately sent troops to reinforce the Hongquan Village stronghold, hoping to seize the opportunity to kill them!"
"But you underestimated the strength of this Eighth Route Army. Not only did the reinforcements fail to kill them, but they retreated with heavy casualties!"
"If it weren't for the squadron leader's quick response, the reinforcements might not even have a chance to come back!"
"Sir is wise!" the captain and deputy captain replied with his head lowered.
Lieutenant Colonel continued to ask: "Tell me, how many troops did the Lingqiu garrison lose from the Hongquan Village stronghold plus reinforcements?"
"One infantry squadron of the Imperial Army, one unsatisfied camp of the Imperial Association Army, and the reinforcements lost one and a half infantry squads!"
The Lieutenant Colonel finally couldn't help but became completely furious. Like an angry lion, he yelled: "More than two hundred imperial troops were lost in your hands. Are you all stupid pigs? No, even pigs are smarter than you!"
