"General, Wing Commander, the three deserters are inside.

Dingzhou.

The 15th Brigade is stationed.

A temporary detention place converted from a private house, under the leadership of a devil staff officer, the brigade commander Tanaka Ken, and the 77th wing commander Marukawa Daisuke came here.

"Let's go, let's see."

Tanaka, who was in a particularly comfortable mood today, decided to have a good chat with the three deserters.

He wanted to see if he could get the three deserters over.

It stands to reason that he is a brigade commander, and this kind of trivial matter does not need him to do it personally, and someone will naturally do it.

But today Tanaka is in a really beautiful mood.

Because not long ago, he personally received several batches of people sent by Yamamoto to confirm the results of the battle, and even Yamamoto finally came over in person, and invited them to watch the captured materials and explain the battle process.

Although it took three hours,

But his huge 'credit' has been confirmed, and even the story of how to play this 'victory' seems to be reasonable because of the cooperation of the independent regiment on the opposite side.

This victory did not arouse anyone's doubts.

Presumably, now, this battle report has been sent to the locust, the base camp.

In the brigade, all the disobedient thorns were also removed, again without causing any problems, and now, the bodies have been burned and buried after being photographed, and the matter has been settled.

He, Ken Tanaka, is the new hero of the Empire.

His future career has already begun the first step, and he Tanaka Qin is about to begin to rise.

So Tanaka decided to talk to the three in person to see if they were like-minded and could be the bricks and stones of his great cause.

Squeak··

The door opened, revealing the malaise Maeda Kirichi trio inside.

······

Now go back in time, before Maeda Jiri was captured.

During the third detention, Maeda Jili and the three were so depressed that several times the three of them wanted to commit suicide, but when they thought that they had held out for so long, they gritted their teeth and persevered.

Of course, during this period, the three of them were imprisoned together, and although the conditions were still not good this time, it was a little better than the last time, which can be regarded as one of the reasons why the three of them were able to persevere.

During their detention, the three learned from their painful experiences and summed up the experience of three failures.

In addition to bad luck, I'm afraid there are other reasons.

Every time, when I learned that the three of them were running from Taihara, no, they broke through, I couldn't help but say that they were imprisoned, I am afraid that it was not only to prevent spies, but because of General Yamamoto's mentor.

General Yoshio Shinozuka also died in the Battle of Taigahara.

The entire First Army was also completely annihilated in the Taiyuan Campaign, and several divisions and regiments, almost none of which were formed into formations, escaped, and all of them were buried in the surrounding positions of Taiyuan together with General Yoshio Shinozuka.

In order to curry favor with General Yamamoto, who is in full swing, and for the reason of guarding against spies, the three of them were so unlucky that they were imprisoned every time.

"If there is a chance in the future."

Maeda Jiri, as the squadron leader, has the most flexible brain, and during his detention, he came up with a way:

"We have to change our identities to the garrison of Shijiazhuang, or other troops, we must not be afraid that we will be imprisoned."

"Yamamoto's influence is too great."

The other two agreed.

Kazuki Yamamoto was too influential, not only to obtain a lot of resources for the empire, but also to create a new method of training recruits, which was highly valued by the base camp and the locust.

As long as Yamamoto still exists, these remnants of the soldiers who came out of Taiyuan don't want to have a good life, even if they are cleared of the suspicion of espionage, they will inevitably be excluded when they enter the army, and finally die on the front line as cannon fodder.

After knowing that it was Yamamoto's reason that led to his several detentions, he was displaced for nearly a month, and he couldn't eat or sleep well for a month, and several people also resented Yamamoto.

All of what they've been suffering lately, all because of damn Yamamoto.

"Next, the independent regiment will inevitably continue to attack."

As for what troops to disguise themselves into, Maeda Jili also has ideas:

"When the time comes, the 118th Division will be defeated, let's find an opportunity, get some identity cards, and then disguise ourselves as the 118th Division stationed around Dingzhou."

In the past few days, they have already made it clear that they were imprisoned by the 118th Division in Dingzhou, which belonged to Yamamoto Kazuki's descendant division and was established by Yamamoto in Ping'an County.

"So where are we going next?"

One of the devils then asked.

disguised as the devils of the 118th Division, then they can't stay around Baoding, once people find out, it will be a big trouble, and the locust army is not ordinary ruthless in dealing with disguised spies.

"It's easy."

Worthy of being a person who escaped from Taihara, Maeda Jili is carefully observant and thinks clearly:

"When the identity card is in hand, let's go to the wings."

"I have observed that with such a huge position, a division cannot defend it, and there must be other troops around."

"Whether it is the main force, the local garrison force, or the police force, after the battle with the independent regiment has suffered losses, it is likely that we will be directly incorporated into the army if we are discovered."

"If the other side wants to send us back to the 118th Division, then run away halfway."

Maeda's plan went well.

The independent regiment's attack was huge in scale and fast, especially in the frontal position, and it concentrated half of its forces to attack, so it caused heavy casualties to the 118th Division defending on the front.

The three of them also took advantage of this opportunity to get a suitable identity card, which can even be said to be perfect.

Not only is the age similar, but even the place of origin is similar, so the problem that Maeda Jili is most worried about, the accent problem, has also been solved.

This incident also made the three of them sigh -

Although they are all natives of the empire, the three are not from the same area, they are very far apart, one is in Hokkaido, the other is on the island of Honshu, and now in the 118th Division, they have found the identity of the three of them with the same origin, which is a bit incredible.

In general, Imperial divisions recruit recruits in the same place.

The three of them didn't think much about it, but they just sighed a little that they were finally lucky this time.

Perfectly got their new identities, the three of them learned the lessons of retreating many times, and they also got food, ready to eat and drink well before continuing to escape, but as soon as they moved their mouths, they were caught by the 15th Brigade.

Before they could report their identities that had just arrived, the three were detained again.

This unusual process made the three of them panic for a while, but three hours later, the door came, and a few soldiers entered, as well as a major general, a large samurai, and some adjutants.

"Which army are you?"

As soon as he entered the door, Tanaka asked.

He needed to determine the identities of the three people in front of him.

There are many troops stationed near Dingzhou, in addition to the 118th Division as the main force, and the 15th Brigade under his command, there are also the remnants of the 121st Division, the garrison of the former North China Front, as well as some merchant expatriate troops and local police forces.

The latter is even quite a few in number, but its combat effectiveness is very poor.

But among these troops, except for Yamamoto's henchmen, the 118th Division, the rest of the troops can be directly co-opted.

As a unit formed by Yamamoto Kazuki himself, although the 118th Division has only been a C division, this unit is very brainwashed, and most of the soldiers and officers are full of loyalty to the locusts, and there are a large number of Yamamoto's cronies.

If the three people in front of you are from the 118th Division, you have to be careful!

Of course, not all of the 118th Division were diehards, as far as he knew...

"We are the 118th Division, the 134th Infantry Wing, the 134th Infantry Wing..."

Before Maeda Jili could finish his report, Tanaka's face suddenly changed.

The 118th Infantry Wing of the 134th Division is one of the two most elite wings in this division, and it is said that the wing commander and group leader are all from Yamamoto's special team, and the soldiers are all elite selected by Yamamoto from the recruit units he trained.

It's a bunch of die-hard stubbornness.

"Locked up."

Tanaka Qin waved his hand directly, and more than a dozen devil soldiers imprisoned the three again.

Maeda Jili was dumbfounded.

·····

The other side.

Yan Chang.

The commander of the 6th Division, Kanda Masa, had arrived here with his troops, and was stationed in place on the orders of Isamu Yokoyama, responsible for strengthening the local defenses, protecting the smooth flow of the logistics line, and guarding against guerrilla attacks on the baggage troops.

After all, after the independent regiment came to Songxian, the equipment of the guerrillas was directly changed, and the firepower was fiercely unspeakable.

But the 6th Division didn't think so.

As an elite division that once fought head-on with American soldiers, although he was beaten and cried for his father and mother, and almost wiped out, Kanda Masashi and his sixth division were still full of arrogance in their hearts.

This group of people believes that they are people who have experienced big scenes, the top elite troops of the empire who have experienced cruel life and death battles, and the real warriors of the Heavenly Locust.

It's okay to let them deal with the troops of the Republic of China, although it is overkill, but after all, it is for the sake of the imperial holy war, and now they are actually let them deal with the Kuhaha guerrillas, responsible for protecting the logistics baggage.

It's a shame!

They should have fought against the strongest Republican forces, such as the legendary independent regiment that had received foreign aid and established mechanized troops, or went to attack Hengyang, instead of playing hide and seek with the guerrillas here.

For this reason, Kanda is personally calling Yokoyama to negotiate and lodge a solemn protest.

And Isamu Yokoyama, who was angry, didn't bother to explain, and directly pressed people with his identity, which made Kanda so angry that he scolded and hung up the phone directly, and then, he called directly to the commander of the dispatch army, Shunroku Hatata.

But Shunroku Hata didn't pay attention to him, just asked him to obey Isamu Yokoyama's orders, and wait for the arrival of follow-up heavy weapons, especially anti-aircraft weapons, as a veteran division, the sixth division still has a lot of anti-aircraft weapons.

Although he was so angry that he swung his knife and slashed indiscriminately, Kanda Masashi could only honestly obey the order in the end.

In the days that followed, Kanda received more than a dozen of the latest 40 anti-aircraft guns, improved from the 37 anti-aircraft guns of the Independent Regiment, as well as several new 75 anti-tank guns, as well as some 105 mountain guns, and the firepower was greatly enhanced.

On this day, Kanda Masaya also got news from Dingzhou.

"It's ridiculous."

Seeing this battle report, Kanda Zheng laughed directly:

"This is the mechanized unit of the Independent Regiment of the Eighth Route Army that annihilated the First Army and besieged Chengde?"

"A bunch of dirt who haven't seen the world before."

"Is it true that some mechanized troops have some tanks and armored vehicles?"

"Even if a farmer has a tank, he is still a farmer, he only knows how to farm, and he doesn't know what modern warfare is."

As a person who fought against the U.S. Army with the fire support of the U.S. Navy, Kanda Masashi always believed that the so-called powerful and terrifying firepower of the So-called Independent Regiment was nothing more than the babbling of a group of people in the empire who had never seen the world.

It was at this time that another staff officer came over:

"General."

Staff Officer's Report:

"Thirteen kilometers north of Yanchang, a group of guerrillas, numbering about 1,300 people, was spotted advancing along the highway towards Nanxian."

"A partisan force of 1,300 men?"

"Down the road?"

Hearing the news, Kanda Masato laughed angrily:

"Are the guerrillas here so arrogant? How dare you swagger on the highway? ”

"Command."

Kanda Zheng's tone changed, and he was murderous:

"The 23rd Infantry Wing annihilated this guerrilla group."

"None of them will be left."

"Hey."

The staff officer quickly went to convey the order.

·····

At the same time.

Song County.

Kong Jie also received a report from the staff officer:

"The regiment commander, the county brigades and district squads around Yanchang have completed their refitting and training, and have initially mastered the new weapons, and they are currently assembling and approaching Nanxian County, and they are expected to arrive the day after tomorrow."

"Hmm."

Kong Jie nodded in satisfaction.

After his arrival in Song County, he also began to integrate and provide weapons assistance to the surrounding guerrillas.

"Did you give them new artillery?"

Kong Jie asked suddenly.

On Zhao Jiayu's side, Li Yunlong was recently forming the Airborne Forces, so he changed to a new type of artillery for the Airborne Troops, but unexpectedly, after testing, this new artillery was very suitable for use by lightly armed guerrillas.

It's an artifact!

"Equipped."

The staff officer smiled and said:

"Twenty of them!"
