"Baga! 112 planes and more than 200 air warriors were lost. Fukushima, the captain of the defense brigade, didn't notice it at all. What a waste!
His conscience was so bad that he died. He should apologize to the emperor! "
Yoshio Shino decided the life or death of Major Fukushima with just one sentence, but Lieutenant Colonel Tetsuya Iwata, the instigator, was only scolded a few words, held up high, and put down gently, sparing him once.
In the Battle of Binh Duong Airport, someone had to take responsibility for the loss of hundreds of aircraft, otherwise the commander of the front army would not be able to explain it.
Your Majesty the Commander decided that Major Fukushima would take the responsibility, and Major General Miyamoto would naturally have no objection. The Imperial Army made rapid progress in the Battle of Mount Nakajo and the results were brilliant, so this loss was innocuous.
Now that someone has taken responsibility, this matter has been revealed. The second phase of the battle is imminent. The hundreds of thousands of Chinese Central Army troops in the Zhongtiao Mountain area have been smashed to pieces by the imperial army. It is a beautiful moment to harvest the results of the battle in one go. Not letting this little setback affect his mood, the sensible Major General Miyamoto took over and said:
"Your Excellency, Commander, the victory in the Nakatiao Mountain area is glorious, but some people are always easily dazzled by the victory, become careless, and cause unnecessary losses to the imperial army. Fukushima must pay the price for his stupid behavior. .
In the Battle of Zhongtiao Mountain, under the strategic planning of His Excellency the Commander, the imperial army achieved brilliant results;
Less than a week after the war started, the first stage of the campaign objectives were achieved. More than 20,000 people under the command of Commander Tang of the Third Chinese Army were killed, and the main force of more than 100,000 Chinese troops was cut into seven or eight pieces that were not subordinate to each other. I suggest that you can enter The second phase of the battle begins. "
Xiao Zhuoyi Nan nodded with satisfaction. As Miyamoto said, compared with the brilliant results achieved, some losses are nothing to mention.
"Miyamoto-kun, according to the intelligence provided by Duanmu, the hundreds of thousands of defeated troops in the Zhongtiao Mountain area have no fighting spirit and will be defeated at the first sign of war;
Many besieged troops have already run out of food, and most of the troops are insufficiently supplied. The commanders have fled the troops privately, and their morale is low. This is the perfect time to carry out the second phase of the mesh sweep!
Order the 35th Division, 36th Division, 37th Division..."
As Xiao Zhuoyi'an issued orders one after another, carefully woven giant nets were about to cover the hundreds of thousands of Central Army troops in the double encirclement. If nothing unexpected happened, another one-to-thirty defeat in another time and space would be as scheduled. And here we are.
Langtoushan, the 78th Army, Shitou and others returned successfully. Zhou Weiguo and others were completely dumbfounded. Chu Xiong's hoe was not just swung at them. Compared to the 78th Army, his dozens of remnant soldiers were really not enough.
But Chu Xiong's regard for Zhou Weiguo was not much lower than that of the 78th Army, which made him feel very satisfied. After all, everyone grew up eating whole grains, and they were all unavoidable. He was better than Zhuge Kongming, and he also liked Uncle Liu Huang visiting the thatched cottage three times;
Now he is Zhou Weiguo with only a few dozen soldiers, so he is naturally worried that Chu Xiong will not take him seriously.
"Lao Zhou, we are finally fighting the Japanese together again. You are welcome to come over!"
Chu Xiong held Zhou Weiguo's hand tightly like an old friend, his joy could not be expressed beyond words, and he only embraced him warmly.
"Hypocrisy! Old fox!"
Gao Xiaoling on the side rolled her eyes in her heart. Of course she didn't dare to do it on the surface. Now she was under the eaves and had to lower her head.
Zhou Weiguo is not as coy as Gao Xiaoling. He already has sympathy for Chu Xiong. Regardless of his political stance, he is very willing to fight the Japanese with Chu Xiong.
Now that he has joined the Eighth Route Army, there is no need to be hypocritical. He just hopes that he can focus on fighting the Japanese in the future without worrying about being stabbed in the back by his own people;
After this time, he considered himself dead, and from now on he would fight the Japanese with peace of mind on the Eighth Route.
"Brigadier, your reputation has been well-known in the past two years. It's fun to fight the Japanese with you. I, Zhou Weiguo, will fight the Japanese with you from now on!"
Zhou Weiguo said very bachelorly, and his joy did not seem to be fake.
Chu Xiong quickly corrected:
"Old Zhou, he should be fighting the Japanese with the Eighth Route Army. From now on, you and I will both be members of the Eighth Route Army and comrades. We have the same beliefs and goals;
Not only must the Japanese be completely driven out of China, but they must also be attacked in their hometown and smashed to pieces in their bullshit toilet. "
Zhou Weiguo is also a nationalist. What Chu Xiong said is exactly what he pursues throughout his life. These words sounded encouraging, and he echoed excitedly:
"I am the one responsible for smashing the ghost toilets. For this great goal, I will fight with the Eighth Route Army until death!"
Gao Xiaoling pursed her lips again, but Chu Xiong noticed it. He immediately changed his face to a harmless smile and said to her:
"Xiaoling, long time no see. Your brother heard that you were coming, but he was so excited that he had to rush over from Liu Town;
He said that Shitou had made great achievements this time and wanted to treat Shitou and me to have a drink. "
Gao Xiaoling secretly cursed:
"Believe me, even my brother was led astray by you. He even said he would come over to see me but he didn't actually come. It's just all nonsense."
Of course, these were all she was thinking in her heart. On the surface, she still wanted to give Chu Xiong some face. She saluted Chu Xiong businesslikely and said:
"Report to the brigade commander, Gao Xiaoling, a soldier of the Eighth Route Army, is reporting to you. Like Captain Zhou, I am here to fight the Japanese with the Eighth Route Army."
Chu Xiong laughed and said to Gao Xiaoling:
"Okay, just come here and fight the Japanese. I heard that you are a communications expert. From now on, I will hand over the radio station of Tiger 4th Squadron to you;
In addition, you are also the leader of the Tigers' communications team. The communications soldiers of the other three squadrons are also under your control. If there is a problem with the Tigers' communications, I will hold you accountable. "
The joy in Gao Xiaoling's eyes flashed away. She was still very satisfied that she could continue to work in her old profession and also be responsible for managing the signal corps of several other squadrons. She replied loudly:
"Promise to complete the mission!"
After dealing with Gao Xiaoling, Chu Xiong said again:
"Who is Comrade Yang Kaiwen? I have heard Xiao Meng talk about him before. He is a famous explosives expert. Our Zhou Dapao really wants to talk to you about it."
When Yang Kaiwen heard that Brigadier Chu actually knew his own name, he excitedly said to Chu Xiong:
"Hello, brigade commander, I am Yang Kaiwen. I only know some explosives, so I can't be called an expert. I am also very honored to follow the Chinese Tiger that the Japanese call the Japanese to fight against the Japanese!"
Chu Xiong was always a familiar person. He held Yang Kaiwen’s hand on the spot and said:
"Gong Yang, you are too humble. All of us in the Eighth Route Army still respect capable people like you;
You have seen the Wei Shenpao, right? It was made by Mr. Wei from our military factory. When it explodes, it will explode into a large area. If a worker wants to do his job well, he must sharpen his weapon first!
I can provide you with two options. The first one is to go to the military factory in the base area. You can engage in your old profession, participate in military industry research, and enjoy the benefits of being an engineer;
The other one will continue to stay in the Tigers Special Forces as a demolition expert. You will be given three months to bring a group of demolition talents to the Tigers;
In the future, every special operations team should have a blaster. Our military factory produces many kinds of special bombs. You should familiarize yourself with them first, and then bring out a group of apprentices. In the special operations team, you are at the same level as the squadron leader, which is the deputy regiment level. "
After Chu Xiong finished speaking, he looked at Yang Kaiwen, waiting for his choice.
Yang Kaiwen did not expect that Chu Xiong would value him so much. In the government, he was only a major instructor. When he went to the Eighth Route Army, he was directly on the same level as the squadron leader, deputy regimental level;
That was equivalent to a lieutenant colonel, and he could work directly as an engineer in a military factory. This made him feel that joining the Eighth Route Army was the right thing to do.
"Brigadier, I still want to stay in the special forces and fight the Japanese directly. My three-legged cat skills will not make me look ugly to Wei Da Engineering."
When Chu Xiong heard this, he made the decision on the spot, and Yang Kaiwen became the demolition instructor of the Tigers Special Forces.
