Comrade, Your Ingredients Are Too Complicated

The various units of the Eighth Route Army that received the order showed their magical powers in Jin Province like the eight immortals crossing the sea.

They insisted on causing maximum damage with minimum consumption and casualties, and destroyed all the Japanese military strongholds.

Many troops even had an unexpected surprise. They took advantage of the enemy's internal command chaos and pulled out many thorns in the flesh that were not easy to deal with before.

It was already the third day since the hospital was destroyed.

Far away in Taiyang's First Army Headquarters, a group of senior officials were weeping as if someone at home had died.

Tada Shun, who had completely lost his patience, had just called and scolded everyone. He personally appointed an officer to Jin Province to handle the matter with full authority.

Although the dust has not settled yet, they know that this combat mission will most likely end in failure, and they will become a joke on the North China Front.

The Eighth Route Army's response was very effective. At this time, battle reports from various places could be seen everywhere in the headquarters. Many such battle reports were submitted almost every hour.

If Yoshio Shinozuka hadn't known that this was a cover for the enemy to meet the small force, he would have felt that the Eighth Route Army in Jin Province was about to launch a desperate fight.

Although it was already nine o'clock in the evening, no one in the entire conference room had eaten dinner, and no one dared to leave. They were all waiting for news.

At this time, there was a rush of footsteps outside the door, and then the door of the conference room was rudely pushed open.

Yoshio Shinozuka frowned in dissatisfaction. The sharp-eyed Chief of Staff of the First Army next to him saw the expression of his partner. He knew that the lieutenant general was very dissatisfied and was now under great pressure.

In order to protect his face, the first chief of staff looked at the somewhat rash staff officer opposite him and put on his gloves as he walked over.

"Crack, snap, snap."

Three consecutive blows were slapped on the face of this weak-sighted staff officer. Fortunately, he became the punching bag of everyone present.

"How unbecoming are you in such a panic? You are simply embarrassing the Japanese Locust Army!"

After the farcical Army tradition just now, Yoshio Shinozuka felt a little better. He motioned for the staff officer with the intelligence to come forward and report on the work.

"Your Excellency, Lieutenant General, we have just received a report from the Lieutenant Colonel in the palace. Most of the Eighth Route Army who committed sabotage retreated into the mountains. Their brigade only killed a small number of enemies and did not capture any prisoners."

"He sent a message to the staff asking if a pursuit could be pursued?"

Upon hearing that there was such a stupid captain, everyone present had constipated expressions.

Fighting with the Eighth Route Army in the mountains? What kind of genius idea is this? Unless you set fire to the mountain to force them out, otherwise you will make yourself uncomfortable.

Yoshio Shinozuka bit his back molars, and his vicious voice seemed to be squeezed out of his throat.

"Is this his first day joining the army? An infantry brigade actually asked me if I wanted to pursue the Eighth Route Army in the mountains? You asked him to come and see if I look like a mountain division. If I'm not qualified to be a brigade captain, then go back to my hometown!"

"Ask that loser to maintain local security for me, and don't let the guerrillas take advantage of the situation! Those beggar geese are too plucked! Restore order in the area as soon as possible!"

In order to prevent his subordinates in the room from seeing his old liver-colored face, Shinozuka Yoshio turned his back expressionlessly.

Although he messed up one thing, the old devil was still competent at his job. Even if he was angry, he would not forget to ask about the damage.

He tried hard to suppress his anger and asked the first staff officer on the side: "How big are our losses now?"

"In the area bordering the Eighth Route Army, we lost nine bunkers, including two large bunkers. It will be difficult for us to re-activate them in a short period of time."

"Two military depots were lost, but the buildings were not damaged. We only need to replenish troops and supplies before restarting."

"The personal losses are still being counted, but the situation is not very optimistic. It is conservatively estimated that the casualties this time are around 2,000."

After hearing the report from the First Chief of Staff, Yoshio Shinozuka looked much better. This loss was much smaller than I imagined. Fortunately, not all the watermelons and sesame seeds were lost.

"In half an hour, I want to see the detailed battle report!"

"Hi!"

Taking this opportunity, the First Chief of Staff quickly left the headquarters. The atmosphere here was really depressing, and he couldn't stand it.

"Your Excellency, Lieutenant General, the various squadrons responsible for the pursuit have received news one after another that the enemy's traces have disappeared."

"They speculate that the small group of Eighth Route Army troops has broken through our blockade and may have successfully merged with their larger troops."

An unpopular staff officer was forced to come in to report intelligence, and another piece of bad news that hit the heart reached the headquarters.

"Inform all pursuing troops to withdraw, and stay vigilant along the way so as not to be ambushed." Yoshio Shinozuka still did not turn around, he waved his hand to indicate that he understood.

This was something he expected. His opponent's move was an outright conspiracy.

Facing various military locations being attacked, the Locust Army must provide support, otherwise the cage policy will be affected.

Without the local defenders to cooperate in the hunt, and the enemy having supporting troops, being run away by them would be the normal outcome.

Yoshio Shinozuka looked at the map on the wall. The red arrow representing the enemy on the situation map seemed to be mocking him silently.

Recalling what happened in the past three days, a deep sense of powerlessness made him feel particularly irritable.

I obviously have the advantage in terms of military strength and equipment, but it felt like a punch on cotton. It was not so disgusting when I was fighting in WH.

This old devil, who had not been on the front line for a long time, even had the urge to charge with a gun at this moment.

"Everyone, get out! Get out of here!"

It is said that the sound of smashing things was never heard in Taiy City headquarters that night.

——————————————

Facts have proved that Ding Wei’s prediction was completely correct. After completing the strategic mission, while the enemy-occupied area was still in chaos, he led a battalion of soldiers to start searching.

As an old comrade who joined the army at the same time, Ding Wei had a full understanding of Li Yunlong and Zheng Yingqi. The search area he chose included the retreat route of the spy company.

In the end, Dai Yu, who was responsible for exploring the road, found a new group coming to greet them. After confirming that it was not an enemy disguise, he walked out of the forest openly.

The soldiers of the new regiment raised their guns on alert as soon as they heard the noise. They were still in enemy-occupied territory, and any disturbance could affect the safety of the troops.

But Ding Wei, who was leading the team, recognized this elite soldier who was directly under the division headquarters. He grabbed the health worker beside him and hurried forward to ask about the movements of the large army and check the opponent's status.

Even Dai Yu, who calls himself an iron man, is exhausted after several days of running around. After he explained the specific location of the special agent company, he fainted before he could even take a sip of water.

After a while, Ding Wei led the soldiers to join the spy company.

At this time, Li Yunlong looked like a savage. Not only was his beard unshaven, but his whole body exuded an unpleasant smell. The dirt and smoke on his face couldn't hide the weakness caused by a long period of lack of nutrition.

The same goes for everyone else in the team site, but fortunately the presence of doctors allowed everyone in the team site to persevere.

Seeing his old comrades coming to pick him up, Li Yunlong tried his best to smile. At this time, he was being helped by Ding Wei to drink water.

There will be more at night

(It’s gone for now) I feel very dizzy.
