This is Major Watanabe's most profound experience at this moment.
The independent battalion caused him too much damage. Not only did the Watanabe brigade be downgraded from the main force to a local garrison force, but all the officers in the Watanabe brigade were also demoted one rank, which was the first time he had suffered since joining the army.
What a shame and humiliation.
Regardless of whether it is at the national and national level or personal grudges, the Independence Battalion is its own life-or-death enemy, and it is eager to tear it into pieces immediately.
But Major Watanabe knew that this idea was too unrealistic.
The Independent Battalion was so powerful that even though Watanabe didn't want to admit it, he already thought that it was the most powerful opponent he had ever encountered since joining the army.
With the current strength of the Japanese army in Lingqiu, they are definitely no match for the independent battalion.
He must hide his strength and bide his time, and must be careful to avoid war and wait until he has sufficient strength to counterattack.
Reinforcements are the only way for him to regain his strength. In order to take revenge, he must ensure that the reinforcements enter Lingqiu City safely.
However, the first time he was attacked on the way to Lingqiu, and the second time the reinforcements were hit hard on the way to Lingqiu. The two lessons made him worried about the reinforcements coming to Lingqiu, and he was afraid of the reinforcements.
Making the same mistake again.
After hesitating for a few seconds, he confirmed with a solemn expression.
"You are right. As long as the independent battalion gets the news, they will definitely attack them at all costs!"
"Nearly half of the reinforcements are new recruits, and there is no running-in training for each other, or even a unified command. It will definitely be easier for the independent battalion to attack them now than to attack them after they enter Lingqiu. If I were the commander of the independent battalion
, I will never miss this opportunity!”
The adjutant obviously also thought of the experience that Watanabe Battalion had faced against the independent battalion. His face turned pale at that time and he shouted very anxiously.
"Sir, these reinforcements are our only chance to avenge our shame. We must not let any accident happen!"
Watanabe replied solemnly: "I know!"
"Over and over again, we have lost troops and generals on this road twice and were defeated by the independent battalion. This time, we cannot be suppressed by the independent battalion no matter what. The reinforcements must reach Lingqiu safely!"
After saying that, Watanabe walked to the huge combat sand table, pointed at the sand table and analyzed.
"The entire section of the highway that may be attacked by the independent battalion is nearly 30 kilometers long. As long as the safety of this section of the highway is ensured, the reinforcements can reach Lingqiu safely!"
The adjutant replied with a grimace: "It's easier said than done. There are mountains and hills on both sides of this stretch of road. We can be attacked at any place. It's impossible to guard against it!"
"There must be a way!" Watanabe replied bravely.
After staring at the sand table for a full ten minutes, he suddenly asked the adjutant: "We have been reorganizing the Imperial Association Army for more than a month. How are they doing now?"
A rare smile flashed across the adjutant's solemn face: "Very good!"
"Our own people are still worthy of trust. After rectification, the imperial army's control over them has reached an unprecedented level!"
"In order to curry favor with the Imperial Army, many squad platoon leaders have reached the point where they only listen to the orders of the Imperial Army officers and instructors, but not their original company commanders!"
"In addition, after the Imperial Army entered the Imperial Association Army, the situation of Imperial Army Officers deducting soldiers' pay was greatly reduced. The soldiers' treatment was better, and their attitude towards the Imperial Army was better than before. Many people began to support and support the Imperial Army.
military."
"One month of training has allowed their combat effectiveness to gradually increase. Although they are still not up to the level of the Imperial Army, they have a completely new look compared to the previous Imperial Army!"
"In addition, after we took out all the weapons in stock, the expansion of the Imperial Association Army has been completed. The total strength has reached the four main battalions plus guard companies you requested, sir, for a total of 13 main companies. There is also an artillery company and a heavy machine gun company.
!”
"Each infantry company is equipped with two machine guns and two grenade launchers, with a total strength of more than 130 people!"
Watanabe nodded and continued to ask: "Where is the special agent team?"
"Shangfeng assigned us five professional intelligence agents from the Special High School Course. They were assigned to each command a small team of special agents, and he personally trained and commanded them!"
"Special agent captain Tian Chengzhi is very cooperative, so the special agent team has made great progress!"
"So far, the intelligence network of the special agent team has penetrated deeply into the Eighth Route Army base area again!"
"There are intelligence personnel near each of their troop bases, closely monitoring their every move!"
"In addition, they have also formed two special action teams in the special agent team. Their style is the same as that of the Special High School Action Team, specializing in carrying out assassination and sabotage missions!"
"I received their report two days ago, and within two months at most, these two action teams will be able to carry out their mission!"
"Yoshi!" Watanabe's solemn face also showed a satisfied smile.
Then he made a decision: "Now that the Imperial Association Army and the Special High School have almost been reorganized, we will use this operation to test the effect of our rectification and confirm the method of allowing the Imperial Army to enter the Imperial Association Army and the special agent team.
right!"
The adjutant's face showed a shocked expression at that time: "Sir, you want the Imperial Association Army and the special agent team to protect the reinforcements entering Lingqiu!"
"Can they do it?"
"The combat effectiveness of the Imperial Alliance Army was really poor in the past. Even when the Imperial Army was around, they might surrender without a fight. Wouldn't it be too risky to let them act alone?"
A flash of hesitation flashed across Watanabe's face.
But he soon became firm again: "Let them go!"
"Even if we don't believe in the Imperial Army and the Special Agents, we still have to believe in the Imperial Army that we intervened in!"
"Since they have confirmed that they can control the Imperial Army, and have ensured that their combat effectiveness is no longer what it used to be, and they will not surrender to the Eighth Route Army as they did before, then we should give them a chance!"
"Besides, I won't let them fight alone!"
"For an infantry company, we will strengthen a combat detachment of the Imperial Army to supervise the battle. In addition, we will dismantle their artillery and firepower companies, and each company will strengthen a heavy machine gun and a mortar!"
The worry on the adjutant's face lessened a lot: "In this case, their combat effectiveness should be pretty good!"
"However, if we want them to attack, it's still a bit uncertain!"
Watanabe shook his head and replied: "Although I am taking the initiative to protect the reinforcements from reaching Lingqiu safely. But I don't need them to launch an attack on the Eighth Route Army. I only need them to fight the defensive battle they are best at!"
The adjutant was confused: "Defense?"
"Should we let them guard the reinforcements and protect them all the way to Danlingqiu!"
"No!" Watanabe refused without hesitation.
"This is too passive! The independent battalion is too cunning and well-equipped. If it is passively beaten, even if the reinforcements can reach Lingqiu safely, the escorting Imperial Association Army and special agents will definitely suffer heavy casualties!"
"The troops we integrated at such a high cost must not be lost in vain!"
"Then how to protect them, and also defend them?" The adjutant was even more puzzled!
