Momotaro was also a little powerless when facing the Dragon Boat Festival. At least he didn't want to move until he thought of a way.
And he really needs to have a good communication with Doihara on how to fight this battle.
As for Mito, he is crawling forward like a turtle, and he may not be able to reach his scheduled location tonight.
But what he is most worried about is that the Dragon Boat Festival will come to him. After all, he is the soft persimmon.
Doihara frowned slightly after receiving Momotaro's telegram and reading it. Because he believes that Momotaro's analysis is correct. If the 27th Brigade makes it impossible for Danwu to start, then Danwu will most likely take Momotaro's idea.
But there were no other reinforcements to send near Momotaro. As for retreat, that is even more impossible.
So for a while, Doihara was in a dilemma.
And he couldn't ask Momotaro if he had any other opinions.
Because it is already a matter of life and death at this time, I am afraid that Momotaro would have said it if he had any solution.
"Is the only way to stay stationed? But it's okay during the day, but what should we do once it's night?"
Doihara was scratching his head and couldn't think of any solution.
At the same time, Momotaro was also thinking hard. Because this is a matter of life and death.
With no countermeasures, Momotaro could only send a telegram back to Kitashirakawa, asking for advice on how to resolve the current war situation.
Kitashirakawa said only two words: withdraw troops.
But how is this possible? Who would dare to withdraw without Doihara's order? And once he withdraws, if the 27th Brigade suffers any losses, Doihara will have to bear the blame on him.
So Momotaro called back again: "We cannot withdraw our troops."
Kitashirakawa looked at Momotaro's telegram and Aso Taro beside him and said with a smile: "Aso-kun, did you see? The proud top students of the empire are now starting to ask me for advice."
Taro Aso quickly said: "That's natural. Senior's commanding ability is obvious to all."
Kitashirakawa laughed loudly and said: "Aso-kun, I just like your sweet mouth. And what about that Momotaro? Even if he asks me for advice, he is not willing to flatter me. But whatever, if we want to defeat that Dragon Boat Festival, Momotaro It’s essential.”
Aso Taro said: "That's right! Momotaro-kun still has his merits. If possible, can we bring Doihara over?"
Kitashirakawa waved his hand and said: "Doihara is an old fox. If it is beneficial, he will work very hard, otherwise he is likely to do us a disservice. And he is not very friendly to the nobles, so I don't like this person.
And don’t you think that the world should be dominated by our young people in the future? An old antique like him should be thrown into the garbage dump. "
Taro Aso quickly bowed and said, "Hey, what you said is absolutely true."
At this time, Kitashirakawa Ainori said: "Go and generate electricity for Momotaro, and evacuate immediately after the battle. If Doihara holds him responsible, I will do my best to protect him. And tell him that the reason why his appointment has not been confirmed is that Because of the obstruction of a few old guys. He will understand himself. "
"Hey, I'm going right away!"
Taro Aso responded again, and then went to send electricity to Momotaro.
After Momotaro read the telegram, he was so angry that he tore it into pieces.
However, it was not because Momotaro asked him to take the opportunity to retreat, but because his appointment was intercepted.
He knew who it was, the old guys from the military department. He is less than thirty years old this year and already has the rank of major general. If he makes another meritorious service, he will threaten the status of those old guys, so they have been holding back.
As for Kitashirakawa Xi saying that he would keep him, he had no doubt about it. Kitashirakawarai does have this ability.
He hated it so much that after working hard for so many years, he had to rely on Kitashirakawa to wash away the power of these nobles in order to get promoted.
But he has understood that origin is indeed important. No matter how talented you are, it is of no use. You can only become a tool of those in power.
Momotaro closed his eyes for a long time and finally let go. He stopped and told his men to wait for orders from Lord Doihara. But in fact, he just didn't want to fight. Once the troops were attacked, he would retreat quickly.
But if he wanted to leave, he had to see if Duanwu could agree. In the two hours since Momotaro was stagnant, Duanwu and his people had already arrived.
Dragon Boat Festival and Li Yunlong met, Li Yunlong said angrily: "Grandma, I have laid all the mines, but this little devil just stayed where he was, and he didn't know what he was doing!"
Duanwu took a look with the binoculars and saw that the little devil's defense was very tight. The two Japs dug trenches nearly a hundred meters along the mountain road, while the Japs were roughly concentrated in the center of the mountain road. But they were spread out, seemingly to avoid shelling.
Moreover, four 160mm heavy guns were set up on the road, and they seemed to be able to fire at any time.
Seeing this, Duanwu felt that the little devil had already guessed his intention, so he acted like a hedgehog and waited for Duanwu to kill him with his men.
The little devil became more and more aggressive, and Dragon Boat Festival suddenly felt the pressure.
However, giving up is impossible. Compared with the 27th Brigade, Momotaro's mixed force is indeed a weak persimmon.
Dragon Boat Festival is going to kill him, but definitely not now.
It is still very bright now, and the Japs have a very good field of vision. If there is a disturbance, their 160 mm cannon will definitely strike first.
This kind of thing is powerful and has a long range, and is a great threat to the supervision team.
And if possible, Dragon Boat Festival will find a way to destroy it first.
Moreover, Li Yunlong's mine array had no effect. If the little devil doesn't move forward, the mine will just lie quietly in the dirt.
But taking this, Duan Wu thought of an interesting thing. Wouldn't it be interesting if he buried some more landmines behind the little devil?
The little devils stayed where they were, and then all the landmines were planted in front and back, and they couldn't get out, so they had no choice but to be trapped and die in the mountains!
Of course, the Japs have engineers, but we have to see if these engineers are capable of clearing mines.
Moreover, most of the landmines buried during the Dragon Boat Festival were land mines. This kind of landmine basically needs to be detonated manually. If the little Japanese engineer discovers the mine, he will be blown up directly until there are no engineers left.
Thinking of this, Duanwu immediately asked Li Yunlong to dig out part of the mine, and then buried it behind the little devil. And if this happens, unless you, little devil, don't move, you will definitely be blown up by a landmine.
And then all we have to do is wait until it gets dark during the Dragon Boat Festival before taking action.
As for whether the Japanese 27th Brigade would take advantage of this time to attack Wanjialing, Duanwu was not worried at all.
With Sun Shiyu and Lao Shou here, if the little devil dares to march in a hurry, he will only be tortured! .
