Chapter 537: Heaven Help Me

Just when the more than 4,000 commanders and fighters of the advance detachment, under the leadership of Liu Hua and under the cover of night, slowly approached their targets. Located in the Supreme Headquarters of the Army in Anshan County, the commander of the major general was sitting in his seat with a serious face. And in front of him, the deputy chief of staff of the headquarters was also sitting on the sofa in the office, listening to the lecture of the commander of the major general in front of him....

"Oda-kun, I remember that it has been almost a year since you came here to take up the post of chief of staff. It's a pity that in the Anshan area, in addition to a large amount of iron ore, there are no enemies at all, and there is no chance for you to lead troops to fight. If you can't lead troops to fight, you won't have a chance to appreciate. This made my heart very uneasy. After all, before you came here, your father personally explained to me, let me have a good experience of you on the battlefield..."Glancing deeply at the deputy chief of staff in front of him, Oda Nakasa, the commander of the major general said..."Report to Your Excellency the commander, although there is no opportunity to lead troops to participate in the battle and make his own contribution to the holy war of the empire. However, after almost a year of training, the lowly rank in the commander has learned a lot of things, and these things cannot be learned in the military academy... So, please don't take it to heart, Your Excellency, I've made great progress. Even if my father knew about it, he would only thank you, Your Excellency the Commander. Hearing the commander's words, Odanaka Sa, who was sitting precariously, quickly replied.

"Yo Xi, Oda-kun, I'm very happy that you can think like this. However, as an emperor [***] person and an emperor [***] official, the most desirable thing is to be able to go to the battlefield to kill the enemy and make meritorious contributions, and make his own contribution to the holy war of the Great Empire. Today, I called you here to give you a chance to go to the battlefield to kill the enemy, and I hope you can seize it...."In response to Odanakasa's answer, Major General Commander nodded with satisfaction and said.

As a party to the case, Odanaka Sa, after listening to the commander's words, immediately flashed a look of excitement on his face. Then, he looked at the commander in front of him expectantly, looking forward to the arrival of the following. As the commander just said, as a soldier, the battlefield is a place where you can truly embody your value....

"Xiao Tianjun, you also know that in order to strengthen the strength of the Imperial Army, the anti-coalition forces in the Mengshan area will be encircled and suppressed in the shortest possible time, and all of them will be wiped out in the Mengshan area. Our Anshan Regional Command received an order from the General Headquarters of the Kwantung Army to dispatch a mixed unit of more than 4,000 people to reinforce the Mengshan area. Now, after more than a week of assembly, more than 4,500 people from the Imperial Army of an infantry brigade and a division of Manchurian Army troops, plus artillery and engineers, have all been assembled and ready to set off at any time. After my struggle, it was decided that you would lead the command to reinforce the Mengshan area, assist the imperial army troops in the Mengshan area, eliminate the Anti-Japanese Alliance, and make contributions to the Great Empire..."Seeing Otanakasa's expectant eyes, the commander did not hesitate and immediately replied..."Hi, thank you, Your Excellency, thank you, Your Excellency, your humble position, you will definitely live up to your trust, Your Excellency, and fight bravely on the battlefield to kill the enemy and make your own contribution to the great cause of the empire..." Odanaka Sasa couldn't suppress the excitement in his heart anymore, and said with a look of surprise and gratitude to the commander of the major general in front of him....

"Okay, I've already fought for you this opportunity, I hope you can take advantage of this opportunity. Oda-kun, you go down and prepare well, the troops will leave early tomorrow morning, and as the supreme commander of the entire army, you must prepare in advance..."The commander nodded and ordered.

"Hi, Your Excellency Commander...."As he spoke, Xiao Tanaka Sa, who was already full of excitement, couldn't hold back any longer, and rushed out of the office with an excited face....As Xiao Tanaka Zuo left, the chief of staff of the headquarters immediately walked into the office and sat on the sofa at the signal of the commander. Then, facing the silent Major General Commander in front of him, he asked with a worried expression.

"Your Excellency Commander, you really rest assured that Oda Jun, as the supreme commander of the troops on this expedition, will lead the troops to set off and participate in the battle of encircling and suppressing the anti-coalition forces. You know, this time we are facing a cunning anti-coalition force. And Oda-kun has been working as a staff officer in the headquarters and has no experience in leading troops at all. I'm worried that Oda Jun will have some big surprises in the face of the cunning anti-alliance...."

"Chief of Staff, I share the same concerns about this issue. However, you also know that Oda-kun's father is a high-ranking officer with the rank of lieutenant general in the empire, and he has called me many times, asking me to take more care of Oda-kun, give Oda-kun more opportunities to lead troops, and let him accumulate some military merits. And in our Anshan area, the opportunity to lead troops can be said to be very rare. So, in the face of his father's repeated requests, I had no choice but to comply... However, I believe that this time Oda-kun's troop dispatch should not be a major problem. After all, around the Anti-Japanese Alliance, 100,000 troops of my Imperial Army have been assembled..."|The commander of the major general replied..."It can only be like this, I hope that Oda-kun's attack this time will not disappoint us..."The chief of staff nodded and replied....

Early the next morning, more than 4,000 puppet troops, with a large amount of heavy equipment, drove out of Anshan County with the roar of more than a dozen large trucks. As the supreme commander of the entire unit, Shaotian Nakasa, riding on his own warhorse and under the protection of his personal guards, followed the unit to begin the first journey of commanding operations in his military career..."Report to the commander, the scouts hiding outside Anshan City have just sent a telegram saying that the main force of the army, more than 4,000 people, has left the city early this morning. "In the temporary camp of the troops, Liu Xiaogang, who had just received the telegram, reported the situation to the ears of Commander Liu Hua at the first time..."After holding back for almost half a month, today, we can finally act." Send a telegram to the front-line scouts, asking them to pay close attention to the puppet army's every move, and be sure to deploy the puppet army's troops, weapons and equipment tonight, before the little devils set up camp... The situation is all clear to me to investigate. In addition, I warned these scouts that they must not startle the snake without my order...."Liu Hua's eyes flashed with a hint of surprise, and he ordered affirmatively....

"Yes, Commander...."In the blink of an eye, under the detailed investigation of the investigators of the First Brigade, that is, the members of the reconnaissance detachment of the former Special Operations Brigade, specific information about the puppet army was sent to Liu Hua. At the same time, as time went by, more than 4,000 puppet troops slowly entered the advance detachment and gave them the special operations battlefield selected in advance....

"Taijun, Taijun, you see, it's getting dark, and the brothers can't walk after a day's journey. You see, is it to camp and rest on the spot, and after everyone has recuperated their spirits, early tomorrow morning, we will continue to hurry..."Just when Shaotian Nakasa was riding on his own war horse and was in a hurry, Li Guodong, the commander of the Manchurian Army, rode his own war horse and rushed to Yamada Nakasa's side, pointing to the soldiers around him who were getting slower and slower....

"No, no, you are a big fool. The terrain here is complex and overgrown with weeds. If you choose to camp here, it will be very unsafe at night. Your Excellency, Commander, I suggest that if the troops dare to travel for another hour, after an hour, the troops will be able to walk out of this wilderness and into the open plain area...."As soon as Li Guodong's words were finished, the captain of the Yue Army on the other side denied with a contemptuous face, and his tone was full of anger..."Taijun, according to our understanding, now that the Anti-Japanese Federation has been completely compressed by the Imperial Army of our Great Empire to the Mengshan area, here, there is no enemy at all....So, I hope that the Humble Will, Taijun was able to give the order to camp on the spot, and the brothers were really tired...."In response to the captain's answer, Li Guodong retorted mercilessly..."Yo Xi, what Li Jun said is very correct, at present, the Anti-Japanese Federation has been compressed by the Imperial Army of our empire to the Mengshan area, and there are no enemies around us at all. What's more, we are still in the Anshan area, and there are a large number of imperial army troops around us that may reinforce us at any time, and there is absolutely no problem with security. Now I order, the troops will camp on the spot and prepare dinner...."Under Li Guodong's well-reasoned persuasion, the commander Shao Tanakasa, who had no actual combat experience, ordered affirmatively..."Your Excellency Commander... I strongly request that, for the sake of the safety of the troops, the troops march forward for another hour and then set up camp..."Looking at the complicated terrain around him, the captain prepared for the final struggle, and once again exhorted with a worried face.

"Yaga, Murata-kun, here, I am the supreme commander of the entire unit, didn't you hear the order I just made? It was here that the troops set up camp and prepared dinner. If you want to disobey, I will consider letting your vice-captain take over your command...."For the captain in front of him who refuted his order, Shaotian Nakasa ordered without anger.

"Hey, Your Excellency Commander, I will immediately order the troops and camp on the spot..."Facing the angry eyes of the commander Shaotian Nakasa, Murata Shaozuo's heart, although he was very worried and unconvinced, but in the highly hierarchical army, he could only bow his head aggrievedly, and then replied in a low voice.

Of course, in the process of setting up camp, the little devils of a brigade, still under the command of the captain Murata Shaoza, sent a full squadron of soldiers to be responsible for the vigilance and patrol of the camp. However, the more than 3,000 Manchurian troops located on the periphery of the barracks were led by their division commander Li Guodong, and the entire division did not have the slightest vigilance. Tents and boxes of ammunition were messily placed in the camp. What's more, a battalion of more than 3,000 men in a division actually sent only one company of troops to patrol....so to speak, the entire camp did not have any vigilance..."Commander, commander, good news, the scouts have just sent a telegram that the enemy has camped ... What's more, the little devil commander actually chose the Yangziling area...."Less than half an hour after the little devil set up camp, a telegram was sent to the communications platoon of the advance detachment headquarters around the little devil's camp in the shortest possible time.

"Yangziling, quick, Xiaogang, tell me the specific situation...."Liu Hua hurriedly replied, and at the same time, looked at Liu Xiaogang in front of him expectantly and said.

"Yes, Commander, this is the case. According to the investigation of our investigators, the entire Yangziling is completely composed of a bush, and the whole area is overgrown with weeds and the terrain is complicated, which is very suitable for the troops to launch night attacks at night.

"Good, good, great....God is helping me, even God is helping us... Order the troops to set off immediately, rush to the Yangziling area, prepare to launch a night attack, and teach these puppet soldiers a good lesson...."Liu Hua slapped his thigh violently, and then ordered with an excited face.

"Yes, Commander, I'm going to give the order...."Liu Xiaogang hurriedly rushed out of the temporary headquarters... After a day's rest, the more than 4,000 commanders and fighters were all assembled in less than 10 minutes after receiving the order to attack. Then, under the command of the commander Liu Hua, he quickly left his camp, and then disappeared into the dark night.

Of course, by the time the more than 4,000 commanders and fighters of the advance detachment arrived at the outskirts of the puppet army's camp, more than an hour had passed. During this more than an hour of practice, after a day's march, the more than 4,000 puppet troops, who were already exhausted, had already fallen asleep after hurriedly eating their own dinner. In the entire barracks, only piles of bonfires remained, and in the quiet night, there was a constant crackling sound. Of course, in addition to the crackling sound of the bonfire, there are thousands of puppet soldiers who are sleeping at the same time....

"Commander, deputy captain, in front of you is the military camp of the puppet army...."Under the leadership of a scout, several people, with the help of the cover of rugged terrain, quietly touched behind a bush less than three hundred meters away from the barracks....

"It seems that the enemy in front of us is very proud... In the entire barracks, only the sentries of less than a company were scattered..."Aside the bushes that blocked him, through the binoculars in his hand, he saw the puppet army barracks that were clearly illuminated under the light of piles of bonfires, Liu Hua whispered..."Commander, northeast direction, the barracks of the little devils, the enemy has put a squadron of troops, responsible for patrolling and the border. It seems that the captain of the little devil is still very vigilant..."Liu Xiaogang continued..."Commander, if nothing else, the command headquarters of the little devil is located in the center of the military camp...."As he spoke, Liu Xiaogang's finger pointed to a certain large tent in the middle of the military camp a few hundred meters away. Looking closely, a large number of soldiers gathered around the entire tent. More importantly, at the top of the tent, several long antennas were erected ....

"Well, it seems that the little devil's barracks is a piece of hard walnut... However, no matter how hard the walnut is, tonight, we will tear a hole out of him... Let's go, let's go back first, now the energy of the army is strong, let's touch their sharpness first, after the early morning, when these little devils have no energy, let's take action..."Liu Hua nodded, and after signaling the guards around him to write down the specific layout of the entire military camp, he ordered in a low voice..."Xiao Gang, Captain Wang, and Captain Li." This is the specific deployment and location of the puppet army barracks, everyone speaks freely, let's talk about it, tonight's night attack, what should we do? "Back to the temporary camp of the troops, under the reflection of a lantern, a few people around the sketch of the military camp of the puppet army that had just been drawn and said..."Commander, the little devil's military camp is divided into two parts, it seems that we also have to divide the army into two ways...."Wang Ping, the captain of the second brigade, opened his mouth and said..."Commander, I suggest that in order to ensure that the whole operation is foolproof, the little devil will be handed over to the first brigade, and the remaining more than 3,000 Manchurian army troops will be handed over to our second and third brigades. After all, the First Brigade has a wealth of combat and actual combat experience in special operations. At this point, the second and third brigades are absolutely incomparable...."Li Guodong directly said his thoughts to the commander in front of him..."Xiao Gang, the question is back to your first brigade. How's that, what do you think of Captain Lee's suggestion? Liu Hua nodded, shifted his gaze to Liu Xiaogang, and then said..."Report to the commander, although the combat effectiveness of the little devil Kwantung Army is very strong. However, for the special operations unique to our army, the little devil Kwantung Army has never experienced it. Therefore, I have enough confidence to lead all the commanders and fighters of the First Brigade to quietly annihilate these more than 1,000 little devils..."Seeing Liu Hua's expectant gaze, Liu Xiaogang replied confidently..."Okay, in this case, more than 1,000 little devils will be handed over to your First Brigade." Captain Wang, Captain Li, more than 3,000 Manchurian troops, I will hand it over to the two of you, are there any problems? After getting Liu Xiaogang's affirmative answer, Liu Hua nodded with satisfaction and continued to ask..."Report to the commander, ensure the completion of the task..."As soon as Liu Hua's words were finished, the three of them replied in unison..."Very good, the specific arrangement, we will make specific arrangements at that time, now all of them are available, except for the necessary sentinels, the rest of the people are all resting..."Liu Hua finally ordered.
