After hearing the news that the enemy had retreated, Ushijima Mitsuru calmed down - because he knew very simply that the enemies he was facing were a group of enemies with extremely fierce firepower and high mobility. If he did not calm down, Come down, you will suffer a big loss.
"Follow me and observe the battlefield!" Ushijima Mitsuru made a very correct decision.
Arriving at the battlefield where the Wang Yongcheng Cavalry Battalion was stationed just now, Ushijima Mitsuru began to carefully observe the traces left on the ground.
This time, Ushijima Mitsuru observed very carefully, even the bullet casings on the ground.
"This is a cartridge case from a formal rifle. It is the ammunition left behind by the firearms used by the Central Army of the China Army. They are all the same, even this kind of rifle. It seems that what we met is indeed a troop of the Central Army of the China Army." Niu Niu Shimamitsu muttered to himself, holding several medium-sized rifle cartridges in his hand.
At this moment, a Japanese Lieutenant Colonel ran up next to him and reported: "Your Excellency, General, our department has found a large number of bullet casings left by the Chinese Army, most of which are Czech light machine gun shells, and there are quite a few Some shell casings left behind by the Maxim heavy machine gun. Please give instructions, General!"
"Yoshi, take me to observe immediately!" Ushijima Mitsuru said seriously. For him, this was also a major discovery.
Ushijima had a clear understanding of the firepower of the national army just now - the total firepower was no less than that of a regiment, and even the ordinary central corps-level troops of the national army could not equip it.
"Hai!!" the Japanese Lieutenant Colonel responded, and then led Major General Ushijima Mitsuru there.
After arriving at the scene, Ushijima Mitsuru was shocked: he knew the models of these bullets. Judging from the distribution position of these bullets, there was almost a heavy machine gun next to every three light machine guns, and even more The important thing is that this unit has six mortars. In the recent bridge bombing operation, each mortar fired an average of six shells.
What kind of powerful firepower is this? This was completely beyond Ushijima Mitsuru's expectation. He originally thought that the main force of the Chinese army's firepower reinforcement group on the opposite side was conducting a blockade, but looking at it now, it was most likely the opponent's firepower reinforcement battalion.
"Damn it! Our enemy has such powerful firepower, and we don't even know it. This is definitely a mistake by the intelligence department!" Ushijima Mitsuru angrily rebuked. For him, blaming people in this situation is inherently inappropriate. There was a suspicion of shirking responsibility, but he couldn't care so much at this time. He had to find a proper reason to shirk his mistakes.
If he was pushing back and forth, Ushijima Mitsuru still knew what he wanted to know - at least here, he already knew that he was facing a battalion with enhanced firepower, and the strength of this battalion was far beyond his imagination.
At this moment, another Japanese lieutenant colonel ran to Ushijima Mitsuru and reported: "Reporting to General, we found a large amount of fresh horse manure nearby!"
This sentence can be regarded as awakening Ushijima Mitsuru: Could it be that this firepower-enhanced force also has a large number of horses? If this is the case, then how terrifying the combat effectiveness of this army will be...
"Take me to see it immediately!" Ushijima Mitsuru's tone was full of seriousness, without any other meaning in it.
"Hai!!" the Japanese lieutenant colonel responded.
Sure enough, in the jungle not far away, Ushijima found a large amount of horse dung. This was definitely the amount left by hundreds of war horses!
"It's really terrifying. What kind of opponent are we facing?" Ushijima Mitsuru murmured to himself. Soon, the name of a unit appeared in his mind - the Ninth Theater of the National Revolutionary Army. Guard troops!
"Souka, if it is this unit, it can be explained..." Ushijima Mitsuru said softly. In his impression, this unit has always been the elite of the Central Army of the Chinese Army. The equipment is almost comparable to the German weapon masters before the Songhu Battle!
However, what Ushijima never expected was that this force had actually surpassed the ace German weapon master in some aspects!
Of course, this word is not just used casually - at least in terms of the concept of enhanced cavalry firepower, it perfectly surpasses the German weapon division. After all, the German weapon division does not have the concept of these quick reaction troops!
If this is just a firepower-enhanced battalion, the firepower has reached this level, let alone the opponent's artillery battalion and infantry units.
"It's really interesting... This unit is becoming more and more interesting. Very good, you have come into my sight..." Ushijima Mitsuru's lips slightly raised. He originally thought he was meeting ordinary people. The enemy's Central Army did not expect to encounter such an elite force. This is interesting...
"Then... General, what should we do?" Lieutenant Colonel asked.
"What should we do?" Ushijima Mitsuru chuckled, "Order the forward troops to reconnoiter and advance south, with one kilometer as the boundary!"
"Hai!!" the lieutenant colonel responded. He was the captain of the forward force.
After the Japanese lieutenant colonel left, Ushijima Mitsuru said: "Immediately report to the division commander that we encountered the elite Ninth Theater Guards of the Central Army of the China Army, and asked the division headquarters for the enemy All the intelligence of the army!”
"Hai!!" the major next to Ushijima Mitsuru responded. That was his secretary!
Facing the potentially powerful enemy in front of him, Ushijima Mitsuru not only did not panic, but became even more excited - they were the Sixth Division with the strongest combat effectiveness. If they were to pick on the weak like an old lady pinching persimmons in battle, what would happen to them? What else does it mean to them? The stronger the enemy, the more they can arouse their fighting spirit!
"The security force of the Ninth Theater Zone of the China Army, Yosei, finally met some enemies who can fight. We can even defeat your capital Nanjing, do we still need you?" Ushijima Mitsuru's eyes became colder, no matter what , his will must be carried out!
…
Fifteen minutes later, Yueyang, the headquarters of the Japanese Sixth Division.
"Reporting to the division commander, your Excellency! Major General Ushijima Mitsuru of the South Marching Column is calling!" Telecommunications Lieutenant Taro Inoue almost rolled and crawled into the office of the division commander Shiro Inaba.
"What's the rush? Could it be that something big happened on the front line?" Inaba Shiro said very dissatisfied.
"It's... a major discovery made by Captain Ushijima Mitsuru. He said that they encountered the most elite guard troops in the ninth theater of the China Army on the front line, and now they are asking the division headquarters to give them all the information!" Taro Inoue was almost trembling. Said hesitantly.
