Chapter 306: The Japanese Year-End Sweep 5
In the puppet army camp, as the fire burned fiercely, more than a thousand puppet army bodies gradually turned into ashes.
Wang Shiqun could only watch helplessly, feeling extremely distressed.
His pseudo-legion suffered the greatest loss, with nearly a thousand people gone, so his strength was greatly reduced at this time.
Of course, the Japanese didn't care what Wang Shiqun thought. After seeing that all the bodies had been dealt with, they urged the puppet troops to set off quickly.
As for breakfast, it was obvious that Wang Shiqun's regiment had nothing to eat. It was because they had suffered the most casualties and had to deal with the corpses!
In fact, what Wang Shiqun didn't know was that another company under his command had been sent back to Gaojia Town by Yang Zhenhua, otherwise the death toll in his regiment would have been more than 700.
Ordinary Japanese soldiers didn't feel the casualties of the Imperial Army. The old Japanese soldier Tanaka was even more indifferent to the casualties of the Imperial Army. He brought these Imperial Army soldiers out to use as cannon fodder.
Given the combat effectiveness of the Laiyuan Independent Regiment, these Imperial Army troops could only consume their ammunition and bully the civilians.
If a real fight breaks out, given the quality of these Imperial Army soldiers, they will be defeated in a few moves. He sees this very clearly.
"Your Excellency, the Chinese are waiting for us up ahead. Please advise us on how to proceed!"
They received this news early in the morning, so Sadao Chida came to Tanaka to inquire as soon as possible.
Tanaka Shinichi wasn't surprised by the news. He slowly opened his eyes, looked at Chida Sadao, and asked, "Chida-kun, given the fighting power of these Chinese, how do you think we can quickly enter Gaojia Town and deploy defenses?"
He did not answer how to attack, but instead asked Chida Sadao this question.
Upon hearing this, Chida Sadao said hesitantly, "Your Excellency, Brigade Commander, if you let me take command, I will let the Imperial Army advance first..."
Before he could finish his words, Tanaka Shinichi interrupted him with a wave of his hand: "Chida-kun, the Laiyuan Independent Regiment has seized a large amount of imperial supplies. Sending the Imperial Army in now will be useless."
He didn't want to hear about the old-fashioned ways of attack. He had studied the Laiyuan Independent Regiment and knew very well that these methods were ineffective and would instead cause unnecessary casualties.
Chida Sadao was very sensible. He saluted with his legs together and said respectfully, "My subordinate is stupid. Please guide me, Your Excellency, the Brigade Commander!"
"Yoshi," Tanaka Shinichi was very satisfied with Chida Sadao's performance.
If a subordinate is too smart, how can he show his wisdom?
Satisfied, the old devil Tanaka didn't keep the secret any longer and said directly, "Qiantian-kun, the reputation of the Laiyuan Independent Regiment is built on the corpses of countless imperial warriors. Conventional attacks can't do much harm to them. If that's the case, then we have to change our strategy."
The regiment commander Chida was confused. He knew very well what weapons their brigade had and how many people there were.
Change of thinking?
How to change?
Before he could figure it out, Tanaka Shinichi's next words made his eyes widen, and then he exclaimed in joy: "Great! Great! Your Excellency, Brigade Commander, your plan is truly brilliant."
Facing his subordinates' flattery, Tanaka Shinichi became even more proud and said with a smile: "Chida-kun, facing such a powerful army, we can't treat it with common sense. We need to use our brains to think more."
"Hey! Your Excellency the Brigade Commander is right!" Chida Sadao bowed again to express his respect for the Brigade Commander.
Tanaka Shinichi nodded in satisfaction, then said, "Go ahead. The Laiyuan Independent Regiment is not an ordinary unit. Qiantian-kun, you can just send the Imperial Army to assist later."
The puppet troops at the front had no idea what they were about to face.
If they knew, I wonder if they would turn their guns around and shoot Tanaka's little brother...
In the Second Battalion, Yang Zhenhua looked at the company commanders and said solemnly, "The Japanese commander is very cautious this time, so everyone should be more cautious during the battle and not expose all your forces at once."
From the Japanese march yesterday to the attacks on the puppet army camps in the early morning, the Japanese actually refrained from pursuing them, which made Yang Zhenhua alert.
The enemy's marching deployment can be said to be afraid of being ambushed, but so many puppet soldiers were killed in the early morning, and the artillery company was just a few kilometers away, but the enemy did not move.
Yang Zhenhua would never believe that the Japanese had no other deployments.
"Commander, this is our territory. We are very familiar with the road conditions. If the Japanese dare to chase us, we brothers will definitely lead them into the ditch."
The second company commander said with a smile, not taking Yang Zhenhua's reminder seriously.
Indeed, throughout the battle, countless Japanese soldiers, whether they were divisions or brigades and regiments, died at their hands.
With such a habit, how could he be afraid of a Japanese brigade?
"He Long, don't let yourself get into trouble. The devils this time are different."
Before Yang Zhenhua could speak, Shi Xiaoliu spoke.
He was the first person to have some contact with the devils, so he could naturally see that these devils were different from the previous ones.
"Yeah, Lao He, let's just listen to the battalion commander. Let's just be careful later."
The other two company commanders also spoke.
"Okay, okay, I'll be careful." Seeing that his old brothers all said so, the second company commander He Long could only raise his hand in agreement.
"Okay, go down and make arrangements. It will start soon."
Yang Zhenhua didn't have the heart to talk nonsense here. He still needed to think carefully about what specific cards the Japanese had!
After several company commanders left, Yang Zhenhua thought for a while but had no clue, so he simply took his guards and ran to the top of a nearby mountain.
Of course, his main purpose was not to get some fresh air or sun, but to see the Japanese deployment with his own eyes.
By 9 o'clock, the distance between the two sides was only four or five kilometers.
Chida Sadao led his men to the center of the puppet army formation, looked at the three puppet army battalion commanders, and said calmly, "Li Sang, Wang Sang's troops suffered heavy losses last night. Today, it will be your turn to cooperate with the imperial army's operations!"
When Li Hongzhi heard Qiantian's order, his anus suddenly tightened.
He could see that the enemy's harassment and artillery bombardment last night had caused heavy losses to Wang Shiqun's entire regiment in a short time.
The military strength under his command is not much better than that of Wang Shiqun. If he really goes into battle, he will undoubtedly be sending his brothers to their deaths.
But he didn't dare to resist Qiantian, so he could only agree reluctantly.
Chida Sadao glanced at Li Hongzhi, thought for a moment, and then said, "Mr. Li, there are so many imperial troops here, ready to support you at any time. What are you afraid of?"
"We received a tip-off that there are only about 2000 Chinese soldiers at the front, while we have nearly ."
Li Hongzhi felt better after hearing what Qiantian said. After thinking about it, it was indeed true. The Imperial Army brought a brigade. If there were any problems, there were still a large number of Imperial Army troops in Laiyuan to support him. So what was there to be afraid of?
Thinking of this, Li Hongzhi felt relieved. He bowed and assured Chida Sadao: "The Imperial Army will definitely fulfill its mission!"
For those who betrayed their ancestors, they had to please their new masters before they could eat meat.
Little did he know that after this departure, his entire group would almost cease to exist.
Chida doesn't have any good intentions...
