Xu Rui couldn't be happy about the victory, and Kawaguchi Heiji suffered a defeat, and this day was even more sad.

At this time, Kawaguchi Heiji was standing in the backyard of the Mei family ancestral hall, looking at the two mandala trees in full bloom and frowning, which made Kawaguchi Heiji feel embarrassed, how to explain all this to the commander of the Central China Front, Shanshan Yuan?

Including the captain Muto Zhang, there are more than 1,200 people in the Muto Brigade, more than 700 people are broken, and most of the remaining 500 people are seriously injured.

Speaking of which, Muto Zhang is also a real injustice of death, before the war, Muto Zhang actually questioned Kawaguchi Heiji, thinking that Xu Rui's independent regiment was clearly fishing, so the Kawaguchi detachment didn't have to pay attention, as long as it continued according to the original strategy, it would definitely force the Dameishan Independent Regiment to a dead end.

Although the tunnel tactics of digging and destroying to deal with the Dameishan Independent Regiment are a bit stupid, they are better than safety, because according to such a tactic, the Japanese army will be more tired and bitter, and it will be a big deal to be a groundhog, and after all, there will be no need to pay too much price, but in the end, it will definitely be able to force the Dameishan Independent Regiment into a desperate situation.

Unfortunately, Heiji Kawaguchi rejected Akira Muto's suggestion.

Muto Akira has Muto Akira's thoughts, and Kawaguchi Heiji also has Kawaguchi Heiji's worries.

Kawaguchi Heiji was worried about the safety of the logistics supply line, and he thought that the so-called tactics of drawing wages from the bottom of the kettle had worked, so he was eager to fight with the Dameishan Independent Regiment, but he didn't expect that in exchange for such a result, if he had to be held responsible, Kawaguchi Heiji, as the commander, would undoubtedly bear the main responsibility.

However, Kawaguchi Heiji also knows very well that if this responsibility is counted on his head, then this also means that he will no longer expect to be promoted in the future, and the commander of the Major General Brigade may be his end, in this life, he will not want to be promoted to lieutenant general, and never think about being the division commander of a first-class division again.

With such a result, how can Heiji Kawaguchi be willing?

A burst of light footsteps suddenly came from behind him, and without looking back, Kawaguchi Heiji knew that it was Nagajin Tatsuya.

Sure enough, the figure of Nagajin Tatsuya soon appeared on Kawaguchi's side, and whispered: "Your Excellency, the commander of the front army has just sent another telegram to inquire about the latest progress of the Dameishan sweeping operation. ”

Heiji Kawaguchi frowned deeply, and he didn't know how to tell Tatsuya Yongjin.

Yongjin Da is also a good person, just by looking at his expression, he guessed Kawaguchi Heiji's thoughts, and said in a low voice at the moment: "Your Excellency Commander, otherwise, we should truthfully report the battle situation of Xiao Li Zhuang, right?" Although the main force of the detachment tried its best to rescue, it was stubbornly blocked by the Chinese army on the way, although more than 500 people of the Chinese army were killed and wounded, but after all, they were unable to rescue the Muto brigade, and the Muto brigade was from the captain Muto Zhang below, where there were more than 1,200 people, more than 700 people were broken! The rest are seriously injured! ”

"Nani?" Heiji Kawaguchi turned his head and looked at Tatsuya Eijin with unfamiliar eyes.

At this moment, Yongjin Tatsuya does make Kawaguchi Heiji feel extremely unfamiliar, is this still the upright and diligent chief of staff he knows? This simply refers to the deer as the horse, reversing black and white! However, Heiji Kawaguchi must admit that what Tatsuya Eijin said was really tempting to him.

It's just that Heiji Kawaguchi also struggles a little in his heart, because doing so is contrary to his usual principles.

From Kawaguchi Heiji's expression, Nagajin Tatsu also saw his inner struggle, and immediately added: "Your Excellency, Commander, isn't what you said the truth about your humble position?" ”

Listening to Tatsuya Nagajin's words, the balance in Kawaguchi Heiji's heart finally tilted, and the so-called principle of being a man finally succumbed to the weight of reality and future.

"Hay, that's just the way it is." Kawaguchi Heiji waved his hand and said weakly, "Then trouble Yongjin-san, report the situation of the battle of Xiaolizhuang to the commander of the front army truthfully, by the way, and Xiaoluhara-san, please come to the backyard, I have some important situations I want to consult him." ”

Ask Xiaoluyuan Junsi to come over to confess, which is also the proper meaning of the question.

After all, Okahara Toshisi is also a big sa, a high-ranking officer, so he knows the whole plan, if this matter cannot be recognized and cooperated by Okahara Gongsi, it is impossible to hide it from the front army headquarters in any case, however, Kawaguchi Heiji is not worried that Okahara Toshisi will not cooperate.

Because, Toshisi Okahara himself is also a piece of shit.

The trick of smearing blood on his face and pretending to be dead can fool others, but he can't fool a veteran like Kawaguchi.

"Hai, this will be reported to the front army headquarters." Yongjin Da also nodded slightly, turned around and left.

After a while, Toshishi Okahara, who had already changed into the regular uniform of the Osajun Army, came to the backyard and stood beside Heiji Kawaguchi: "Your Excellency Commander, I heard that you are looking for me?" ”

Heiji Kawaguchi waved his hand and said, "As for the reason why the Muto Brigade suffered a heavy blow, did Eijin-san tell you?" ”

"I only said some generally, but please forgive me for being stupid, I don't understand some of them." Kokahara Toshisi's brows tightened suddenly, in terms of personal friendship, Kokahara Toshisi's friendship with Muto Akira is still very good, if it weren't for Muto Zhang's strong recommendation, Kokahara Toshisi would not have had the opportunity to form his special forces.

It's just that this special forces force has now become a thing of the past.

In the first battle of Kolizhuang, the Muto Brigade suffered heavy losses, only survived less than 500 people, and all of them were seriously wounded, but the special combat team of Kokahara Toshisi suffered even more heavy losses, the special combat team of 26 people, and only three survived in the end, Kokahara Toshisi himself and Yamagami Takeo, and Ito Yunosuke who only had one breath left.

However, this battle also gave Xiaoluyuan Junsi a clear understanding of Xu Rui's special combat team.

Compared with the special combat team trained by Xiaoluyuan Junsi, Xu Rui's special combat team is a special combat team in the real sense, whether it is the technical and tactical literacy of the team members, the degree of specialization of various firearms, or the application of various special combat methods, the special combat team trained by Xu Rui is far stronger than the special combat team of Xiaoluyuan Junsi.

In short, the gap between the two armies is all-encompassing.

After calming down and thinking about it, Kokahara Junsi believes that there are many reasons for this result, but the main reason is that the scope of his selection of team members is limited, and the training is too hasty.

If he can be given a large enough range of materials to choose from, and then given enough training time, Kokahara Junsi is fully confident that he can train a special force that will not lose to the Xu special combat team.

It's a pity that this can only be a dream.

Because Shanshanyuan didn't attach importance to special operations in the first place, after suffering this setback, Shanshanyuan was afraid that he would despise special operations even more, at least in the Central China Front, it would be difficult for him to have a chance to turn over.

Kokahara Toshisi quickly retracted his thoughts, and said to Kawaguchi without being soft or hard: "Your Excellency Commander, please forgive me for being stupid, I didn't understand what Yongjin-san meant?" ”

Heiji Kawaguchi turned his head and looked at Okahara with a faint gaze.

For a moment, Heiji Kawaguchi really wanted to yell at Toshishi Oshihara's face: "Don't think I don't know what you're doing, you coward who pretends to be dead!" ”

In order to save his life and play death on the battlefield, this is contrary to the spirit of bushido, if Kawaguchi Heiji really makes Okawara Toshisi's actions public, Okahara Toshisi will definitely be ruined, no matter how good his background is, no matter how close the Okahara family is to the Japanese royal family, Kokahara Toshisi will not think about having a future anymore.

But in the end, Heiji Kawaguchi still resisted this impulse and said: "Okahara-san, don't say dark words in front of the Akito, just say it directly, what conditions do you want?" ”

That's what Toshimi Ogawara was waiting for.

Although his friendship with Muto Akira is good, it is really nothing compared to his pursuit of special operations.

At that moment, Kokahara Junsi said: "Since His Excellency the Commander has said this, then the humble post will be bluntly stated, and I have only one condition." ”

Heiji Kawaguchi said, "You say." ”

Oshihara said: "I hope that Your Excellency the Commander can fully support me in rebuilding the special combat team, members, I can choose at will in the Kawaguchi Detachment and the Feicheng Garrison Brigade, this unit can be placed under the sequence of the Kawaguchi Detachment, but the training plan must be formulated by me personally, and His Excellency the Commander must not interfere in any reason or in any way." ”

"Yes." Heiji Kawaguchi said, "But this will have to wait until this sweeping operation is over, and besides, you should pack your bags now and return to Hijo first." ”

Heiji Kawaguchi doesn't want to see Toshisi Okahara anymore now.

Because every time he sees Toshishi Oshihara, Kawaguchi Heiji inevitably thinks of this transaction, and to be honest, Kawaguchi hates this kind of dark box deal, because it is obviously contrary to the military code he has always pursued.

"Hello." Xiaoluyuan Junsi actually didn't want to stay in Dameishan for long, at this moment, he just wanted to escape from this sad place as soon as possible, and he didn't want to return here until the new special combat team became an army, at the moment Xiaoluyuan Junsi nodded slightly, and said, "Let's leave now." ”

Kokahara Toshisi had just left with his front foot, and Eijin Tatsuya came in again with his heels.

Yongjin Tatsuya glanced at Kojihara's back and asked, "Your Excellency Commander, has Kokahara-san agreed?" ”

Kawaguchi Heiji didn't answer, but asked Yongjin Tatsuya instead: "Yongjin-san, how did Your Excellency the General reply?" ”

Speaking of Sugi Sugimoto's reply, Eijin Tatsuya's expression immediately became solemn.

Seeing Tatsuya Eijin's expression, Heiji Kawaguchi's heart immediately sank.

Sure enough, Yongjin Da also said in a deep voice: "Your Excellency Commander, Your Excellency the General is very angry about the result of the battle of Xiaolizhuang, and asks us to remove the threat of the Dameishan Independent Regiment as soon as possible. ”
