Anti-Japanese War: You drove me away, and now you want me to rescue you?

Boom!

Like being struck by lightning.

Neither Shinozuka Yoshinan nor Nanshan Hideyoshi could believe their ears.

The telegram was quickly snatched.

They glanced at it hastily.

It took a long time for the two to confirm that it was all true.

"How is this possible?!"

Shinozuka Yoshinan's face looked extremely ugly at this time, and his tone was still full of doubt.

"General!"

Nanshan Hideyoshi looked at the telegram and said in a deep voice: "This matter is indeed very strange. The brigade led by Miyamoto is the elite of our empire, and its combat effectiveness is far beyond that of ordinary troops. Even if it was ambushed while supporting Wanjia Town according to the telegram, it is impossible that there was no time to send out a request for help."

Yes.

Under normal circumstances.

No matter how fierce the battle is, no matter how dangerous the situation is.

It takes at least several hours to destroy a complete elite brigade.

This gives enough time to wait for rescue!

"Unless--"

Shinozuka Yoshinan's face was gloomy, and he gritted his teeth and said, "The enemy's firepower is extremely fierce, and it forced Miyamoto-kun to have no time to take care of other things!"

Nanshan Hideyoshi frowned and said, "But the telegram said that the Eighth Route Army was responsible for sniping our imperial reinforcements in the other direction. You and I know the strength of those Eighth Route Army. Let alone heavy artillery, I'm afraid there are not even a few mortars. With their strength, can they suppress Miyamoto-kun so embarrassed?"

"This matter is indeed strange."

Shinozuka Yoshinan also frowned.

Eighth Route Army?

It should be impossible.

Could it be the Shanxi Suiyuan Army?

But there seems to be no main force of the Shanxi Suiyuan Army near Wanjia Town, and in order to encircle and annihilate the Miyamoto Battalion, the other side must mobilize at least nearly 3,000 people.

It is impossible for them to have no news of such a large-scale military mobilization.

Thinking of this, he said coldly: "The fact that the Miyamoto Battalion was completely wiped out in such a short time is enough to show that the enemy's combat effectiveness is extremely strong and is definitely not an ordinary resistance force. Now my expeditionary force is about to launch a large-scale clearing operation, and this matter must be investigated as soon as possible."

"Yay!"

"In addition - immediately notify the 4th Brigade and let them speed up the action! We want to avenge Miyamoto!"

"Yay!"

Nanshan Hideyoshi nodded again.

Shinozuka Yoshinan murmured gloomily: "Hmph! I don't care who did this. Since you dare to make trouble, my Great Japanese Imperial Army will definitely make you pay the price in blood!"

...

At the same time.

Mishanao.

The temporary headquarters of the Eighth Route Army.

Just after the devils received the news that the Miyamoto Battalion was completely wiped out, Ding Wei naturally reported the matter quickly.

After all, this is no small matter.

"What did you say?"

The commander who had just received the news trembled all over, and said in astonishment: "Someone wiped out an elite battalion of the devils?"

"Yes, yes, chief!"

The signalman nodded quickly and delivered the telegram immediately.

Without hesitation.

The commander took it immediately.

The staff officers next to him couldn't help but come over.

"Oh my God! Someone really wiped out the devil battalion?!"

"I seem to have some impression of this Miyamoto Battalion. It should be a battalion under the 9th Brigade of Laiyang County. The combat effectiveness is still extremely strong."

"In just half an hour, a battalion of devils was wiped out! How is this possible?!"

"..."

Many staff officers present were talking about it, but their tone was full of strong doubts.

Elite battalion of devils!

This is a combat unit with extremely strong combat effectiveness.

Let alone completely annihilate the enemy within half an hour, even if you want to snipe the enemy's attack, it may not be easy.

Now.

The telegram said.

A mere battalion-level unit actually completely wiped out such a team within half an hour.

How can people believe this?

At this time, even the commander's face sank, and he said: "Ding Wei, that kid, is right? A mere unit formed by himself can completely wipe out such an elite Japanese?!"

Everyone nodded frequently.

No one else could believe this.

"Chief!"

The chief of staff pondered for a moment and said: "Ding Wei has always been a steady person. If he hadn't been sure, he would never report it rashly. Of course, this matter is really unbelievable. It's not too late for us to send someone to ask again."

"Then send a telegram immediately! No, let Ding Wei come to the headquarters to report in person."

"Yes, chief!"

The signalman immediately took the order.

"Commander!"

The chief of staff paused and continued, "According to Ding Wei, this mysterious armed force called itself the Anti-Japanese Battalion. Its commander was Lu Zhixian, and the unit was not affiliated with the Shanxi-Suiyuan Army. The previous military action in Gejia Town was carried out by them. This Anti-Japanese Battalion is extremely powerful and hasThere are nearly twenty artillery pieces, which should not be underestimated! "

"Yes."

The commander nodded and said: "The previous incident in Gejia Town is still an unsolved case. Now it seems that if the unit really has such strength, then it is all right. But-"

"But what?"

"When did such a powerful armed force appear in Shanxi Province!"

"This is indeed very strange."

The chief of staff was also puzzled when he heard this.

You must know that although the anti-Japanese forces in Shanxi Province are numerous, most of them are spontaneously armed and not very strong. Only the Eighth Route Army and the Shanxi Suiyuan Army can really threaten the devils and launch large-scale operations.

But the other party claims that they do not belong to the latter.

This is strange!

"Chief!"

Suddenly, a staff officer next to him frowned and asked: "What is the name of the other commander?"

"Lu Zhixian."

"Lu Zhixian? "

The staff officer seemed to have thought of something, and his eyes suddenly lit up: "I remember! There was indeed a staff officer named Lu Zhixian in the Jinsui Army Headquarters before. Many combat plans in the past six months were made by this person."

As soon as these words came out.

Everyone's face changed slightly.

The combat staff officer next to the commander-in-chief?

What is going on?

The commander immediately said in a deep voice: "Are you sure?"

"Sure!"

The man nodded hurriedly and said: "Chief! I went to the Second War Zone to collect some military pay on behalf of our Eighth Route Army. At that time, I heard that a young but talented combat staff officer came to the headquarters. Several previous military operations of the Jinsui Army were also from his hand. This person is very skilled and capable in using troops. At that time, the chief of staff praised this person for his sophisticated and exquisite skills!"

"It seems to be the case. "

The chief of staff quickly remembered it after hearing this, and murmured: "I remember that this person seems to be a graduate of Huangpu, so he can be regarded as my junior."

"That's right!"

"Then why does he claim that he is not affiliated with the Jinsui Army?"

"I, I heard that he seemed to be driven out of the Jinsui Army by the headquarters?"

"Huh?"

The commander and the chief of staff were both surprised.

The staff officer said again: "It is said that the headquarters suspected that this person was an undercover of Shancheng Guangtou, so they drove him out of the Jinsui Army on the pretext of a month ago."

"Humph!"

The commander's face sank slightly when he heard this, and said: "The Jinsui Army has always regarded Shanxi Province as its own private land, and will never allow other forces to interfere, so they have always been very stingy in dealing with things. Now they have driven this kind of anti-Japanese war talent out of the second war zone, which is really unkind!"

"This Jinsui Army only cares about preserving its own strength, so it is not surprising to do such a thing! "

The chief of staff was not surprised by this.

The commander thought for a moment and said, "Whether this person belongs to Shancheng or not, judging from his actions, he is definitely sincere in the war of resistance. In this case, we should try our best to make friends with him."

"That's right!"

The commander nodded and said, "This person was able to form such a powerful combat unit in just a month after leaving the Shanxi Suiyuan Army. Even if he has the help of Shancheng behind him, it is a great help for the war of resistance in Shanxi Province. But I am very curious - is this person really from Shancheng? If not - then this person's talent is really shocking!"

Indeed.

To form such a force in just a month.

How can this be done by ordinary people?!
