"Report to the Chief of Staff that the main force of Chuxiong's force, about 5,000 men, was surrounded by the Independent Fifth Brigade in the Anping area. Ozawa's brigade successfully penetrated into Wangjiawa and blocked the retreat of Chuxiong's main force back to Liuzhen!"
A communications staff officer excitedly brought the expected good news to the Chief of Staff. After hearing this, Miyamoto also looked excited and asked impatiently:
"Are you sure it is Chu Xiong's main force that is surrounding you? Is Chu Xiong inside?"
This is so important. As long as Chuxiong is surrounded, the smashed blockade will not be worth mentioning!
For the First Army, they have caught the big fish Chuxiong, so why do they still care about the net?
"Hey! It's definitely Chu Xiong's main force. Whether Chu Xiong is among them needs further confirmation."
The communications staff officer answered truthfully, and Miyamoto could only wait patiently.
In Anping City, the sound of gunfire temporarily stopped, leaving only the smoke-filled battlefield.
Major Inukai Ichiro, smelling of gunpowder smoke, walked into the command room of the city defense brigade excitedly. Before anyone arrived, the voice came first:
"Nakata-kun, the empire's reinforcements have arrived, including an entire independent brigade. The Eighth Route Army has stopped attacking the city. The end of Chuxiong has come!"
Nakata raised his head and glanced at Inukai, as if he were looking at a fool. It was true that Chuxiong was surrounded. Nakata would not believe it if his doom came. Instead, he became even more worried about the safety of Anping City.
He knew Chu Xiong too well. If Chu Xiong was so easy to eliminate, he wouldn't have forced him to "leave Anping" twice!
He was already considering "leaving Anping" for the third time, and he had to trick Quan Yang into becoming his scapegoat.
The reason why he made this judgment was not because he was afraid of being beaten by Chu Xiong. He was also a dignified warrior of the empire, so how could he be afraid? That's called transfer!
His basis was the artillery that Chu Xiong had been hiding. He counted at least 12 of them, and they blew down the city wall more than ten meters in just a few rounds. He didn't believe that Chu Xiong only had this few artillery shells.
"Yo Xi, Chu Xiong is cunning and cunning. He must be waiting to trick him. The reason why he hasn't launched a fatal blow to Anping City yet shows that he still has some spare power or a back-up move!"
Nakata muttered secretly in his heart, but left Inukai standing aside to dry. Inukai snorted heavily, and Nakata came back to his senses, and his face instantly burst into laughter:
"Yo Xi, this is really great news. The day to eliminate Chu Xiong is just around the corner. This time Inukai-kun sticks to Anping City and deserves the greatest credit!
Since Chu Xiong became famous from Liu Town, many famous imperial generals have failed and been defeated by him;
Inukai-kun is the first imperial officer to defeat Chu Xiong. When the war is over, His Excellency the Commander will definitely praise him greatly. The time to become famous in Yunai is just around the corner! "
It’s true that there are many ways to wear flattery, but the key is that the flattery was taken by a lieutenant colonel for the major;
In the Japanese army, the hierarchy is very strict. Although Inukai is the major of the field brigade and Nakata is the lieutenant of the garrison brigade, even if he no longer dislikes Nakata in his heart, in fact Nakata still dominates him. He is the highest in Anping City. The commander is Nakata.
Inuyang is still very useful, and Nakata is much more pleasing to the eye, and his tone of voice is much more polite:
"Nakata-kun, thank you very much. The victory over Chu Xiong is also due to Nakata-kun. Your Excellency, Commander, will not be short of praise for you."
Nakata gave him all the credit, so it doesn't matter if he gives Nakata a little credit. Everyone should carry the sedan chair.
"Inukai-kun, Chuxiong is now surrounded by the imperial army, and annihilating him is just around the corner;
What I'm most worried about now is that he will jump over the wall in a hurry. Don't let him jump over the wall of Anping City! Therefore, Anping City has to work hard for Mr. Quan Yang to strengthen its defenses! "
After hearing this, Inukai Ichiro despised Nakata as a coward even more. Chu Xiong was at the end of his rope, and Nakata, a coward, did not dare to fight Chu Xiong.
Chu Xiong is nothing more than this. In this case, he will not be polite for taking credit!
"Nakata-kun, don't worry. There are still more than 400 warriors in the Inukai Brigade who are capable of fighting, and their morale is strong. However, Chuxiong's troops were trapped under the fortified city and suffered several setbacks from the imperial army. In Chinese words:
A strong arrow cannot penetrate Lu Zhi..."
"That's the end of a strong crossbow. It can't penetrate Lu Jian. It's terrible to be uneducated. You deserve to be a scapegoat!"
Nakata despised Inukai in his heart, but his face showed admiration, and he praised Inukai without hesitation:
"Yo Xi, Inukai-kun is worthy of being a master of China. He has the style of an ancient Confucian general. I admire you! I'll leave Anping City to you!"
After Nakata, the old cunning guy, casually handed over a tall hat, he handed over the defense of Anping City to Inukai.
There were only more than 400 people left in Inukai's brigade, and not a single hair of his garrison brigade was injured. Once Chuxiong launched a fatal blow to Anping, it was still possible for his fully-strength brigade to move in.
In his opinion, it was normal for his own garrison of a thousand soldiers to be unable to defend the city when thousands of the main forces of the Eighth Route Army were trying their best to attack the city. It was also his credit to save these thousand warriors!
Chu Xiong, who was surrounded by the Japanese army at the foot of Anping City, really didn't expect that old Japanese Nakata had such little thoughts. Therefore, the person who knows you best is always your opponent. He really didn't take the more than a thousand Japanese in Anping City seriously. ;
This is not because he is so crazy that he treats a thousand little devils as a meal, but because he did something under the city wall when he conquered Anping City last time and buried dozens of kilograms of picric acid explosives. As long as he sends a telegram, the city is safe. The operational personnel of the Intelligence Division will detonate it.
Originally, he was just thinking of using it the next time he fights Anping, but he didn't expect it to come in handy this time, so Anping City couldn't stop him at all.
Without backup, how could he accompany the Japanese to play under the fortified city?
Anping City was his back garden. He could occupy it if he wanted. If it was no longer valuable, he would throw it away to Zhongtian, so he left a north gate for Zhongtian;
Keep a line in your life so that we can meet each other easily in the future. After destroying the Nakata brigade, where can we find another wonderful person like Nakata?
At the headquarters of the Independent Fifth Brigade, Major General Maya Ishii was discussing with his chief of staff, Lieutenant Colonel Hiroki Nishikawa, about encircling and annihilating Chuxiong. Lieutenant Colonel Nishikawa said:
"Your Excellency General, Ozawa's brigade has been deployed in place. There are still 1,500 imperial warriors in Anping City, and there is a strong city to rely on. Chu Xiong will not be able to escape this time even if he has wings!"
Ishii looked at the map and shook his head, and then said after a while:
"Xichuan Jun, you are too optimistic. If Chu Xiong is so easy to eliminate, Commander, will you send our fifth brigade here? In the past year or so, no less than 30,000 warriors have been crushed in Liu Town, and Chu Xiong has also gone from one Company commander rose to regimental commander;
In Chinese terms, the crown on Chu Xiong's head was dyed red with the blood of the imperial army!
Youdao is a scholar with a great reputation, and Chu Xiong is a vicious wolf. You cannot pay too much attention to this vicious wolf. "
"It's just that I still haven't figured out what kind of medicine he is selling in his gourd. This is the reason why I haven't ordered an attack!"
Nishikawa looked like he was being taught. Although he was a top student assigned to the General Staff Headquarters and graduated from the Imperial Army University, while General Ishii was only a preparatory student from the Army Corps, he did not dare to look down on Ishii at all. This was real. A veteran general in the army starts from a young age, and his military achievements are achieved in one battle.
If Chu Xiong's captain's crown was dyed red with the blood of the imperial army, then Ishii's general cards were also piled up with Chinese bones.
"Your Majesty General, I have unlimited expectations for your duel with Chu Xiong!"
