Kurosaki returned again, bringing two milky-white unknown potions. Xu San took one look at them and swallowed them.

"What medicine?" Xu San asked.

"I don't know!" Kurosaki replied.

Xu San raised his eyebrows, thinking that it shouldn't be berberine, rivofloxacin or the like, but it should also fall into the category of antibiotics.

only

The antibiotic purification process in this era is worrying.

I hope you don't have an allergic reaction.

After drinking a glass of boiled water, the discomfort in his lower abdomen was relieved a lot. I don't know if it was the effect of the medicine or the boiled water. In short, Xu San's face softened a little at this moment.

At this time, Yoshinohan came to the reception room, and he was shocked when he saw Xu San's appearance.

"Xu Sanjun, what's wrong? Look at your face."

"I have diarrhea, probably because I ate expired cans." Xu San explained his situation listlessly.

"Have you taken your medicine?" Yoshino asked with concern.

"I just ate and felt better. Why, is the meeting over?" Xu San went straight to the point without being polite.

"The meeting is temporarily over. There is a new battle situation. The colonel needs you to understand the situation."

"What's the battle situation?" Xu San asked.

"Chu Liang is surrounded, and the cement factory is also under siege, so the colonel wants to know the situation there." Yoshino did not hide anything and directly told the situation of the battle.

Take action, the new group and the fourth division finally take action!

Although he had known it for a long time, Xu San was still extremely excited. He stood up holding the chair and said, "Then what are you waiting for? Let's go quickly!"

Inside the headquarters, Xu San stood next to Yamamoto and asked, "Colonel Yamamoto, what's going on at the cement plant? Do you need reinforcements? If so, I'll go back to the battalion headquarters and lead people to kill them right away?"

Yamamoto looked at Xu San and smiled cunningly, "Fifth Battalion?"

"That's right! It's not the fifth battalion. I can't instruct other troops to move."

"The fifth battalion is exempted! I guess the Eighth Route Army is just waiting for reinforcements. They have used this tactic many times. Although it is similar every time, it is indeed effective."

"Then what should we do? We can't just watch the brothers in the cement factory waiting to die." Xu San said with a grimace.

"I came to you because I just wanted to ask, how is the combat effectiveness of the Imperial Army in the cement factory now?" Yamamoto asked.

"There is no comparison with your special forces!"

"Nonsense! Let me ask you about your actual combat effectiveness?"

"Weaker than the Locust Army's Type B troops!"

Regarding Xu San's behavior of embellishing the face of the Fifth Battalion, Yamamoto showed a strange smile, "Since this is the case, I feel relieved. Since we have the strength of Type B, there should be no problem in resisting the Eighth Route Army for a day and night."

"Ah~" Xu San opened his mouth in surprise and asked knowingly, "Eighth Route Army? That unit of the Eighth Route Army."

"According to the intelligence just sent over, it is a battalion of the New Regiment that is surrounding the cement factory."

Xu San rolled his eyes, and the expression on his face changed several times before he said, "The brothers stationed at the New Regiment can't stand it. If I remember correctly, the actual combat effectiveness of the New Regiment is no better than the Locust Army's armor." No matter how bad the situation is, I remember that Colonel Sakata fell into their hands."

When Sakata was mentioned, Yamamoto's expression was not good-looking, "Colonel Sakata underestimated the enemy. The location of his command post was too obvious at Cangyun Ridge, which led to the successful beheading of the enemy."

Xu San nodded and gave Yamamoto a look that said, "You know what I know." That means, wasn't your special team also crippled by the new group?

Of course, Yamamoto understood Xu San's eyes, so he immediately rolled his eyes back to him, meaning that I had leaked the information at that time, and I would have failed if I was ambushed by the enemy!

"Don't talk about Daisaku Sakata, he has already sacrificed his life for the country!" Yamamoto returned to the topic in one sentence, "Let's talk about the garrison at the cement factory."

Xu San turned his head and looked at the military map behind Shanben, and began to memorize it with all his strength.

Because this map at the moment not only contains the latest deployment of the Eighth Route Army, but also the latest deployment of the Japanese. If he can write it all down and then send this information out, it will be of great help to the Hundred Regiment War.

The viewing time was probably a bit too long, so Yamamoto urged, "Can you withstand it?"

"If you have enough ammunition, you can withstand it! However, the cement plant does not have enough ammunition. It can withstand at most three attacks by the Eighth Route Army. But looking at the current situation of the Eighth Route Army, it is not easy to replenish ammunition." Xu San said worriedly while staring at the map.

Yamamoto also raised his eyebrows slightly.

Xu San was right. Chu Liang's Kurosawa Regiment was needed to replenish ammunition at the cement plant. However, the Kurosawa Regiment was also surrounded. If they wanted to replenish ammunition to the cement plant, it would probably require a lot of casualties to open up the supply line.

Although there were only two regiments surrounding Chu Liang on the surface, based on the Eighth Route Army's tactical style, there should be troops hidden and waiting for opportunities.

"My main force has not received orders yet and cannot attack at will." Yamamoto once again added the current situation.

"What about the special team?" Xu San asked.

"Send up to three squads for support, about fifty people!" Yamamoto said the number of troops he could mobilize now, but he concealed this number, because the special operations team was not included, and the people Okazaki led were Almost two hundred.

"This small group of people is a bit mysterious." Xu San's brows were still furrowed, "Why did the Eighth Route Army attack Chu Liang?"

"For food!" Yamamoto told his staff's analysis, but he only said the results without elaborating.

"If it's just for food, then they shouldn't be around for too long." Xu San expressed his guess.

"Yes, so I need the Imperial Army of the Cement Plant to hold on for 24 hours." Yamamoto said, looking at his watch, "As long as they can hold on until tomorrow night, the Eighth Route Army should withdraw."

"Isn't it twenty-four hours? It will be almost thirty hours by tomorrow night." Xu San asked.

"My twenty-four hours are calculated from the time the Eighth Route Army fired a shot." Yamamoto said, "Based on my understanding of them and the analysis of the staff, I predict that they will launch an attack this evening."

"Does Colonel Yamamoto want me to go to the cement factory immediately and take charge?" Xu San asked tentatively.

"That's right! You were the one who commanded the last battle at Dagushan. Although it was He Yong listed in the battle report, don't I know how capable He Yong is? So this time I need you to go to the cement factory and take command in person!"

"This." Xu San said and looked at the map of the Eighth Route Army for a while. After trying hard to memorize many Japanese deployments, he said in embarrassment, "Colonel Yamamoto, do you want me to break through the Eighth Route Army's encirclement from the outside?" (End of chapter)
