"Order the frontline troops to stop advancing and consolidate the existing occupied areas.
Order the 5th Division and the Momotaro Division of the 110th Division to send scouts in the direction where the supervision corps disappeared to find the whereabouts of the supervision corps.
I don't believe it. So many people disappeared after entering Mount Tai. Check it for me and I must find its whereabouts! "
Terauchi Shouichi issued the order angrily. Apparently, this old devil also realized the threat to the front-line offensive troops after the supervision team entered Mount Tai.
The Dragon Boat Festival supervision team was like a poisonous thorn, piercing the back of Juichi Templeuchi.
He wants to destroy the Dragon Boat Festival first, and then continue south.
In other words, he didn't take the little Xuzhou seriously at all. As long as the Dragon Boat Festival was eliminated, Xuzhou would be at his fingertips.
So soon, both the Kunisaki detachment and Momotaro of the Fifth Division received this order.
At this time, Momotaro had already reunited with Kudo Shinichi, Nikaidou Konan and Daigaido Minamikawa.
Kudo Shinichi, Nikaido Konan and Daigaido Minamikawa also officially obeyed Momotaro's orders.
Of course, this must be done without violating the orders of the commander of the Kunisaki Brigade. After all, Kudo Shinichi, Nikaidou Konan and Daigodo Minami are still members of the Kunisaki detachment.
The three people asked Momotaro what to do next.
Momotaro ordered all troops to rest at the racecourse, and dispatched scouts according to the orders of the headquarters to enter Mount Tai for investigation.
A total of ten teams of scouts were sent out, and Momotaro divided areas for them. After the investigation is completed, come back and report to him immediately.
He is not as wealthy as Dragon Boat Festival, and radios are equipped in every investigation team. His radio is only equipped to the squadron level, and not all squadrons have radios.
During the Dragon Boat Festival, the more we fight, the richer we get, but the little devils get poorer and poorer.
And it is undeniable that after the Dragon Boat Festival's successive heavy losses, the momentum of the little devil is gradually weakening.
Because you can imagine that the little devil has spent all the consumption in the next three years to deal with this war in advance. Then the more we fight, the poorer we become?
Moreover, radio stations were expensive at the time, and many of the electronic components needed to be imported, even for little ones.
This has led to the high price of radio stations.
And fortunately, the little devil can manufacture radio stations himself. Otherwise, if it had all relied on imports, the little devil would have gone bankrupt by now.
Therefore, the investigation team was not equipped with a radio. Instead, they quickly returned after the investigation and reported the investigation situation to Momotaro.
And the most noteworthy thing is that this little devil is indeed a master at dividing areas for investigation. Otherwise, if the scouts are put into Taishan territory, they will most likely be killed by the supervision team, which will lose the meaning of investigation.
But it's different after dividing the area. If any investigation team disappears in a certain area, then there must be something wrong with this area, and Momotaro will focus on investigating this area.
So this little devil is indeed not simple. No wonder even the Prince of Beibai looks up to him.
Moreover, Momotaro, the little devil, had another purpose in choosing to station at the racecourse.
Perhaps the Matsuyama Regiment of the Fourth Division reported that he had severely damaged the Supervision Corps, and those in the headquarters believed it, but Momotaro did not believe it.
He has also fought against the Supervisory Corps. Can a mere infantry regiment of the Fourth Division severely damage it? Are you kidding me?
If it were that easy, he would have severely damaged the supervision team long ago.
So Momotaro didn't believe that the Matsuyama United had severely damaged Danwu.
And his purpose of staying here was to see what happened.
He took Kudo Shinichi, Nikaidou Konan and Daigodo Minami, and under the guidance of a Fourth Division soldier, they arrived at the mouth of a semi-circular valley northwest of the racecourse.
There are still a lot of car wrecks left here. There are Type 38 rifles, Taisho Type 11 light machine guns, and bullet casings left by Type 92 heavy machine guns all over the roadside.
Kudo Shinichi picked up the bullet casings on the ground and said: "With such dense shell casings, could it be that the people of the Fourth Division gathered together to shoot at each other?"
Momotaro said with a gloomy face: "Obviously, the Matsuyama Regiment is lying. This is obviously because Duanwu blew up his own transport vehicle for some reason, including the heavy artillery that was unable to move.
This man is simply too smart and decisive in killing. There are so many transport trucks, and he doesn’t want them any more. And those large-caliber heavy artillery. If it were me, I would definitely think about it carefully. After all, equipping these things requires a lot of financial resources. "
Kudo Shinichi echoed from the side: "Yes, there are so many trucks, enough to equip a transport regiment. And those bombed heavy artillery, it is not an exaggeration to form an artillery brigade. And it is no wonder that the supervising corps The firepower will be so intense.
This unit in the Dragon Boat Festival has anti-aircraft weapons and anti-tank weapons. and equipped with the artillery firepower of at least one artillery regiment.
On the ground, which other imperial force would be the opponent of the Supervisory Corps? "
Nikaidou Xiaonan also said: "Yes, if there are a few more troops like China, I think our Imperial Japanese Army will be unable to move forward."
However, at this moment, Momotaro sneered and said: "Senior seniors, I think you have overlooked one thing. The direct troops of the Central Army are also very fiercely equipped. They also have automatic weapons and artillery support. Even their Artillery can fight back and forth with our artillery.
But why didn’t we see any victory they achieved?
Dragon Boat Festival was able to defeat our Imperial Japanese Army not at all because of his strong firepower. But the supervision team has an excellent commander.
He was good at using these weapons, so he caused huge casualties to the imperial army. If you were a stupid commander. I think these weapons and equipment may have fallen into the hands of our Imperial Japanese Army at this time. "
"Your Excellency is right!"
Daigaido Nanchuan echoed from the side, while Kudo Shinichi and Nikaidou Konan also nodded frequently.
Because it is true that the Central Army also has the weapons and equipment used in the Dragon Boat Festival. Even the little devils are envious when they look at the equipment of the Central Army.
The little devil is not stupid. Does he not know that automatic weapons are better than the Type 38 rifle in his hand?
They knew it, but it was useless. The little devils were poor and they couldn't afford the weapons that the Chinese could afford.
Therefore, even if they were captured, most of them were sealed because their commanders were afraid that if they used them easily, they would no longer be able to use the Type 38 rifles.
What's more, when all the bullets are used up, there is no place to replenish them. There is only so much ammunition seized, and it is all gone. Where can the little devil replenish it?
At that time, we will have to use the Type 38 rifle again, which will be very troublesome. Do you need to carry two guns and two types of ammunition with you on the battlefield?
This is simply impossible!
So the kid clearly knows that submachine guns are useful and has captured many of them, but he just doesn't dare to use them and can only seal them all!
