On the south bank of the Huai River, the 6th Brigade of the 9th Division of the Japanese Army was temporarily stationed.

The brigade commander, Major General Yoshiyoshi Akiyama, had a gloomy face, and his angry eyes looked around at all his subordinates, and finally fixed on the wing commander of the seventh wing, Izuo Kazuo, and shouted coldly: "Isa-kun, you actually dare to act without permission, do you want to disobey the military order, or don't take me, the brigade commander, in your eyes?" ”

Glared at by the angry gaze of the brigade commander Yoshiyo Akiyama, Iza Kazuo already had a feeling like falling into an ice cave, and when he heard his cold shouting at this moment, he was even more frightened, and the whole person couldn't help but tremble.

"Report to Your Excellency General, I don't dare!"

Izuo Kazuo lowered his head, he didn't dare to take a breath, and the cold sweat on his face and forehead flowed down, for fear that one expression would provoke the brigade commander Yoshiyoshi Akiyama to be angry.

"Humph! Don't you dare? If it weren't for Fuji-kun's timely report to me, I wouldn't have known that yours had actually led troops across the river without authorization! ”

Akiyama Yoshiyoshi snorted coldly and continued to question sharply.

"Your Excellency, the reason why I didn't report to you is because I want to give you a surprise."

Kazuo Iza wiped the cold sweat from his forehead, and then glanced at the co-captain of the 35th Wing, Fuji Suekishi, before continuing.

Yes, the reason why Kazuo Iza acted without joining up with the brigade commander Yoshiyoshi Akiyama was indeed to surprise him, but this was only a half-truth.

It was one thing that he wanted to surprise the brigade commander Yoshiyoshi Akiyama, but on the other hand, he couldn't swallow the breath in his heart.

During the day today, the 6th Brigade was responsible for building the pontoon bridge with his 7th Wing, and almost all of the casualties were his 7th Wing.

In just one day, their Seventh Wing had sacrificed nearly a thousand Imperial warriors.

You know, before this, the Imperial warriors of their Seventh Wing who died on Chinese soil together were not as many as they sacrificed in one day today, how could this not make him feel angry?

And the reason why he did not report to the brigade commander Akiyama Yoshiyoshi was because he was afraid that he would not get the consent of the brigade commander Akiyama Yoshiyoshi.

It's just that what he never expected was that in the end, his action was discovered by the brigade commander Akiyama Yoshiyo.

This is also the real reason why Yang Yun and the other new group of people are confused, and he has to withdraw his troops.

"Huh! To surprise me? ”

Akiyama Yoshiyo suppressed the anger in his heart, and after a pause, he continued to shout and ask, "Iza Kazuo, do you know what the result of disobeying the military salute is?" ”

As soon as he heard the words of the brigade commander Yoshiyoshi Akiyama, Izuo Kazuo suddenly broke out in a cold sweat, his back was almost soaked, his legs trembled uncontrollably, and he almost knelt down directly; But he didn't dare to say anything, because he knew that no matter what he said at this moment, it would not be able to dispel the anger in the heart of the brigade commander Akiyama Yoshiyoshi; Talking too much will only take too many measures, and not remaining silent may be the best choice.

"Your Excellency the General's anger!"

Just when the atmosphere was extremely depressed, and the brigade commander Akiyama Yoshiyoshi was about to be unable to suppress the anger in his heart and burst into anger, Chief of Staff Oda Shinichi suddenly stood up and spoke up.

"Anger? Oda-kun, how do you tell me to calm my anger? ”

Yoshiyoshi Akiyama turned his angry gaze to Chief of Staff Oda Shinichi again, and Isao Kazuo threw a grateful look at Chief of Staff Oda Shinichi, because he knew that since Chief of Staff Oda Shinichi opened his mouth, his life could be saved.

"Your Excellency General, in my opinion, there is nothing wrong with Isa-kun's choice, on the contrary, it may really have a surprising effect.

If you think about it, the enemy has just repelled our division during the day today, and it is bound to be in extreme excitement, so that it will be paralyzed and careless, and the defense will be neglected.

The location chosen by Iza Jun to cross the river was more than thirty miles away from the enemy's position at Linhuai Pass, and it was very likely that the enemy army did not set up a defensive line there.

In addition, it is not difficult to see from the situation during the day today that the enemy must have made a tight defense of Linhuai Pass, and at the same time made careful preparations; If our army wants to cross the river from the front, it will definitely not be an easy task.

Therefore, if you want to quickly break through the defense line of Linhuai Pass, you must do something unruly!

For example, Izawa-kun's action tonight, if successful, will definitely break the current deadlock!

Don't forget, at the beginning, just my 500 Imperial Imperial Army could easily capture Shenyang City and chase him Zhang Xueliang's hundreds of thousands of Northeast Army ass piss.

And the reason why our army is unable to annihilate the 51st Army of China at the moment is only because the Huai River in front of us is blocking our way.

If the river can be crossed smoothly, not to mention that the enemy is only one 51st Army, even if ten more armies come, then what? ”

Akiyama Yoshiyoshi was a little moved by the words of Chief of Staff Oda Shinichi, especially the deeds he mentioned about their 500 Imperial Army capturing Shenyang City, which made his heart boil for a while.

Yes, at the beginning, they were only 500 warriors in the Great Japanese Empire, and they could easily capture Shenyang City.

If Kazuo Iza can really lead his Imperial warriors across the Huai River smoothly, will he be able to easily defeat the enemy forces on the other side of the Huai River?

Even if they can't, if they are added to the frontal attack, can't they destroy the enemy's 51st Army?

"Hmm!"

Yoshiyo Akiyama nodded, the look of anger on his face disappeared, and he slowly returned to his previous seriousness.

"Your Excellency General, this matter is sooner rather than later, besides, Your Excellency the division commander also hopes to take Linhuai Pass as soon as possible, plus it is still early tonight, so I suggest that I might as well let Isa-kun continue to act!"

"Your Excellency General, if the enemy army has an ambush on the other side of the Huai River, it will be troublesome!"

The wing commander of the 35th Wing, Fujii Sueyoshi, heard the words of Chief of Staff Oda Shinichi and hurriedly spoke, in fact, he was not afraid that Izuo Kazuo would be ambushed by the enemy, on the contrary, he even wished that Izuo and his 7th Wing would be ambushed by the enemy.

Because he also believed that if Izuo Kazuo could really lead his Seventh Wing to cross the Huai River smoothly, it would be impossible to say that he would really be able to break through the Linhuai Pass defended by the enemy.

At that time, the first credit will fall to Izao Kazuo and his Seventh Wing, and he and his Thirty-Fifth Wing may have nothing.

He was not reconciled and did not want to.

He even wanted to secretly cross the river again and again to be replaced by their 35th Wing.

Of course, he only thought about this idea in his heart, but he didn't dare to say it.

Because he knew that even if he said it, it didn't mean anything.

Brigade Commander Yoshiyoshi Akiyama doesn't mind them competing for merit on weekdays, but he definitely doesn't take sides.

And the plan to secretly cross the river was thought of by Iza Kazuo, so if he carried it out, it would definitely not be his turn......
