"Now I order all troops to immediately retreat to Gaoyou and abandon the areas they have occupied."

Soon, the new captain of the devil, Watanabe Shouichi, announced an important decision, and after this decision was announced, the captains of the devil team were in an uproar.

I swore to take them to wash away the shame before, but the next moment I asked them to withdraw their troops, and the heads of the captains of the Devil Brigade turned fast, and they couldn't keep up with the jumping thinking of the new detachment leader Watanabe Shouichi.

"Your Excellency Detachment Commander, I think what we need to do now is not to retreat, but to concentrate our forces to launch a large-scale attack on the Chinese army in order to wash away our shame!" The captain of the devil's artillery group, Tengo Nishihara, refuted the decision of the detachment leader Watanabe Shouichi.

"Are you refusing to carry out my orders?" The leader of the devil detachment, Watanabe Shouichi, stared at Nishihara Tengo with beastly eyes and asked coldly.

"I am an imperial soldier, and I only know that imperial soldiers should be brave and fearless, not greedy for life and afraid of death as a turtle with a shrunken head."

"I ask you if you want to refuse to carry out my orders? Answer me! The detachment leader, Watanabe Shouichi, suddenly raised his voice, his eyes full of murderous intent.

Although the captain Nishihara Tengo was very unwilling, in the face of the powerful oppressive force exuded by the leader of the devil detachment, Watanabe Shouichi, he finally chose to bow his head.

"Don't dare." The captain of the Devil Artillery Group, Tengo Nishihara, replied with a heavy bow.

Seeing the captain of the artillery brigade, Tengo Nishihara, bowing his head, the murderous eyes of the leader of the devil detachment, Shouichi Watanabe, looked around at the brigade-level officers, and slowly spoke: "Who has a different opinion?" ”

Faced with the questioning of the leader of the devil detachment, Watanabe Shouichi, the captains of the devil brigade did not dare to look at him, and replied in unison: "Resolutely carry out the order!" ”

"Good, good." Seeing the captains succumb, the detachment leader Watanabe Shouichi's face was full of pride, retracted his momentum, and returned to his seat and sat down.

Facing the oppressive majesty of the detachment leader Watanabe Shouichi, the captains all felt like they were going to be suffocated, and they couldn't help but feel their backs soaked at this moment.

If they had just spoken out against it, this madman might have dared to remove them from their posts on the spot and take them to court-martial for desertion.

"Your Excellency, I have a doubt, I wonder if I can tell me?"

Seeing that the detachment leader Watanabe Shouichi was no longer murderous, the captain Takahashi cautiously spoke.

"Speak—"

"Your Excellency, Captain, why don't we attack, but retreat to Gaoyou?" Captain Takahashi's face was full of doubts.

The detachment leader Watanabe Shou looked at the staff officers and captains, and sneered: "If you don't withdraw Gaoyou, I'm afraid your troops will be eaten away by the people of China little by little, and then there will be no scum left!" ”

"But now that we have all withdrawn Gaoyou, then our previous efforts will be in vain, and we will give up a large number of areas to the people of China in vain, which is really unwilling." Another devil captain was also unwilling.

"You're too short-sighted." The detachment leader, Toshiichi Watanabe, was a merciless critic of the captains.

"Now the morale of the people of China is high through the victory of the battle at the head of the world, and the morale of our army is low, and it is scattered everywhere, if we continue to hold on, not only will we not be able to hold the towns we have occupied, but we will also be eaten away by the China army separately and suffer heavy losses, this is only a matter of time."

Watanabe Shouichi, the leader of the devil detachment, walked up to the hanging map and pointed to the map with his baton and said: "If we take the initiative to give up the area we have occupied now, then we can avoid the attack of the Shina army and concentrate our superior forces on Gaoyou, then it will not be so easy for the Shina people to eat us up, and as long as they dare to attack Gaoyou, I don't mind destroying them under Gaoyou City!" ”

"But in this way, we will lose a large number of occupied areas, and the Chinese army will be able to continue to develop and grow on these occupied areas, and it will be more difficult to occupy these areas at that time." Some devil staff officers said worriedly.

"No, no, no, you don't know the Shina people." The captain of the detachment, Watanabe Shouichi, shook his head.

"When we occupy these areas, their main enemy is us, and they will unite against us, but after we withdraw from these areas, then the Sulu guerrilla corps, the local armed forces, the 89th Army and the Northern Soviet Corps, and so many so-called anti-war alliances will be stationed in these areas, and with the character of the Chinese people, they will definitely have conflicts over territory and resources."

"And we can also take the opportunity to add fuel to the fire, provoke their relationship with the local people, and make their contradictions more intense, and what we need to do is to wait, wait for them to fight, be driven away by the opposition of the people, and then reap the benefits of the fishermen, I dare to guarantee that within March, the internal army of China will definitely fall apart because of various contradictions." The captain of the detachment, Watanabe Shouichi, swore an oath.

Hearing the words of the detachment commander Watanabe Shouyi, the captains and staff officers suddenly realized that this was a strategy of retreating as advance.

"The detachment leader is wise!"

The captains' previous dissatisfaction with Watanabe Shouichi has now turned into admiration, and if they really continue to develop like this, they will soon be able to occupy these areas again without much effort.

"Our troops lack cooperation with each other, and while waiting for the infighting of the Chinese army, we need to strengthen training and enhance the combat effectiveness of the troops, in order to completely eliminate the Chinese army in this area!"

"Hey!"

In front of the blueprint drawn by the leader of the devil detachment, Watanabe Shouichi, these frustrated devil captains rekindled their fighting spirit.

"This retreat is not a defeat, you must explain it to the soldiers." Watanabe Shouichi instructed viciously: "When you retreat, I don't want you to leave the Shina army with bricks and tiles!" ”

"Hey!"

The captains of the devil brigade naturally understood the meaning of leaving no bricks and tiles, and their eyes were full of fierce light.

The captains of the devil brigade who received the order returned to their respective units one after another, and thoroughly implemented the plan of the new detachment leader Watanabe Shouichi.

The ghost soldiers who had been holding on to various towns before were retreating, but when they retreated, they set fire to the villages and houses along the way.

For a time, smoke billowed from all over the area, and many villages were burned to rubble.

When they learned that the little devil had retreated, the troops thought it was a plot of the little devil, but when they sent scouts to find out that the devil had really retreated, they couldn't believe that the devil had withdrawn.

"Gather troops immediately and seize the town everywhere!"

Li Changjiang, the deputy commander of the Sulu Guerrilla Corps, was also excited, they had been fighting with the devils for a week, and they didn't take advantage of them at all, and now they didn't expect the devils to withdraw.

Now it doesn't matter what the devil's plot is, it is imperative to seize the devil's retreat and be in a deserted town as soon as possible, and if it is too late, let other troops take the lead.

For a while, the heralds were running around, and the troops followed the retreat of the devils one after another, and stationed in the smoke-filled towns everywhere.

"Little devils of dog days, Lao Tzu cursed them to cut off their children and grandchildren!"

Seeing the villages and towns that had been burned to the ground, the vanguard of these land-grabbing territories jumped to their feet in anger.

Many places were still burning, and the troops had no time to pursue the retreating devils, so they had to immediately put out the fire.
