"What's going on? Why did my tooth fall out?"
Matsui was shocked.
"Division Commander, the first thing you have to consider now is the safety of the division!"
The guard reminded from the side.
After hearing the guard's reminder, Matsui finally remembered the situation of the troops.
Not caring about his teeth, he immediately asked: "How is the situation now?"
"Division commander, the 192nd Regiment is finished. The 193rd Regiment has unknown casualties, but the situation is not very good. The 194th Regiment is behind and is relatively well preserved."
The guard said quickly.
"how so?"
Matsui stared at the guard in disbelief.
It feels like this is a dream.
You know, his alliance has just been replenished.
A fully loaded regiment has a total of 3,800 people.
Just now, in such a short period of time, an alliance was directly reimbursed?
You know, during this time period.
Those who were annihilated at the formation level at the regiment level were very few and far between.
In less than a minute, he had destroyed an entire regiment.
If there is no reasonable explanation, he may have to go to a military court.
Matsui felt like he was struck by lightning.
It even felt like he might as well have been shot dead on the spot.
At least if you die on the spot, you can die heroically without being held accountable.
"Division commander, you have to cheer up. We are still counting on you. We still have equipment behind us. As long as we get the equipment back, there is still hope!"
The guards encouraged Matsui.
They are now grasshoppers on a string.
No one can run away.
"Yes, I also left equipment behind."
After the guard reminded him, Matsui suddenly remembered that he had left all the heavy equipment of the division outside.
If you can get it back, you may not have the ability to fight.
At least they will have the ability to protect themselves.
"Just do it!"
"Everyone listen to my order and evacuate immediately!"
With the support of the guards, Matsui quickly retreated in the direction he came from.
When they came, they were majestic.
When retreating, he was like a defeated native dog, in a state of disarray.
A group of people spent more than three hours and returned to the mouth of the valley in despair.
Looking at the mouth of the valley in the distance, Matsui's spirit recovered again.
As long as he gets back the heavy weapons he laid down, he will still have the ability to make a comeback.
At this time, Matsui seemed to be on steroids. He broke away from the guard's support, took three steps and two steps at a time, and rushed out of the valley.
Then, he was stunned by the scene in front of him.
At this time, the valley mouth was empty.
Nothing.
Matsui: "???"
"Where are my large piles of large-caliber artillery pieces?"
"Where's my convoy?"
"Where are the food and ammunition supplies I left behind?"
"Where's my huge pile of supplies?"
"Why is it gone?"
Matsui stared blankly at the empty Taniguchi.
He sat down on the ground.
It felt like a slap in the face.
At the same time, his men also followed.
Looking at the empty valley mouth, they were also stunned.
"Is this a thief?" A staff officer muttered to himself, "This thief is so rampant that he even dares to steal military supplies."
One of the captains couldn't stand it anymore and said in a cold voice: "How dare a thief be so rampant? Don't forget, we have left the logistics team behind."
"Which thief dares to steal so much military supplies in front of 200 imperial soldiers?"
"Then what do you think happened?"
the staff officer asked.
"I guess it must have been done by the security guards following us."
"Those guys gave me a bad feeling."
"Especially the looks at our car."
"It's like the car is theirs."
"I guess they must have stolen our supplies while our main force was away!"
The captain said.
When everyone else heard it, they all thought it made sense.
In the past, the mixed brigades who followed them were like this.
When they are not paying attention, they will steal some supplies or something.
Although this security division has been reorganized, it is probably the same as the previous mixed brigade.
"Yes, it must be those security guards who did it. How dare you steal our supplies? It's really outrageous."
"We must settle accounts with them and let them compensate for our losses!"
"If you can't beat the Eighth Route Army, you can't beat the security guard?"
"Yes, let's go and settle the score with them!"
The few surviving commanders and captains were all dissatisfied.
He clamored to go to the security guard to settle the score.
In their eyes, the security guards, like the mixed brigade, are just dogs they raise.
If you want to be beaten or scolded, you can't just let them handle it.
At this time, Matsui's eyes lit up and he came up with a way.
Now, he is worried that no one will take the blame.
Isn't this security guard a suitable scapegoat?
He could put all the blame on the security guard.
In this way, he was freed from responsibility for the defeat.
You can even rake it backwards.
Take a bite of military expenses from the security guard.
Anyway, security guards have been eating up a lot of money recently, which makes a lot of people dissatisfied.
If he stands up and calls out, someone will definitely respond.
At that time, he will not only get rid of the responsibility for the defeat, but he can even become a hero fighting for rights in the army.
Received a commendation from the base camp.
The more Matsui thought about it, the more excited he became, and he began to dream of being promoted.
"Xinxi, you are right. All of this is the responsibility of the security guards. Whether it is the setback of our attack or the loss of personnel, it is all caused by the security guards' delay."
"Now, we want to get back what belongs to us. Let's go find the security guard to get what belongs to us!"
Matsui stood up and shouted loudly.
When everyone under his command heard this, they also became energetic.
If you can't beat the Eighth Route Army, can you still beat the security guards?
They didn't believe that the security guard dared to fight back.
"Let's go find the security guard!"
Everyone stood up with a roar, supported each other, and rushed towards the road they came from.
This group of people supported each other as they walked.
Use a gun as a crutch.
Plus, he was so disgraced from running away just now.
Many people were covered in blood and dust.
Someone lost his hat, someone lost his shoes.
There seems to be no difference between those who are in embarrassment and those who are fleeing.
However, they all have a light in their eyes.
They believe that as long as they find a security guard, everything will be fine.
As long as you find the security guard, everything will be saved.
At the same time, Lao Li was sitting in a car studying the map.
In front of him were three dug trenches.
This was no ordinary trench dug hastily.
Instead, there are fortifications densely covered with barbed wire, machine gun fire points, communication trenches, infantry artillery and mines.
There are three floors inside and three floors outside, which is tighter than many city defenses.
Even so, Lao Li was still not satisfied.
He pointed to the two hills on the map and said: "Construct artillery positions on these two hills and completely lock this area to me. Don't let a single Japanese go by."
