When Brigade Commander Ding said this, he smiled with a rare lightheartedness, it seemed that Motegi's retreat really alleviated the situation on the battlefield. He continued: "My 117th Brigade, since the war with the Japanese invaders on the Bahrain grassland, has formed the habit of those who are capable of speaking out. Since the withdrawal from Chifeng City, whether it is the battle of Huajiagou or the battle of Fangshengou, each battle has maximized the spirit of the officers and soldiers who dare to fight and the style of mobile melee combat, and they have been caught off guard again and again. Now, in view of the current situation, I would like to express my thoughts on how we can fight in the face of change......"

As soon as he finished speaking, Deputy Brigade Commander Ji said: "Motegi has retreated, he is not going back forever, but retreating as advance; He gathered his troops to make adjustments and improvements in terms of troop resources, tactics, and mental preparations, with a view to making a comeback soon......," Chief of Staff Zhang also said: "What Brigade Commander Ding said was to let us speak freely and have good ideas to give; Deputy Brigade Commander Ji meant that Motegi had replenished the source of troops, guns and ammunition, and all kinds of baggage, especially adjusted his spirit and tactics, and he would come with great momentum again. The officers and men of our 117th Brigade are no longer troops who rely on hard work to win the battle, we must be mobile and flexible, and fight a battle with certainty......"

Regiment Commander Lin said: "My 235th Regiment was stationed in Gaojiagou, and it was the brigade headquarters that asked us to put the visible and invisible, and at least eliminate one of the devils. Now the attacking devils have withdrawn before they have made contact, and I think we have to hide and wait for them to sweep up a second time. Guang Liuhe, the new brigade commander of the teaching regiment, said: "If your unit has been hiding there, you must release civilian clothes to make eyeliner to prevent the devil's spies from detecting our ambush ......."

Head Yang said: "Chiwei Avenue is unimpeded, and the devil's spies can't be guarded against. I suggest that we set up more suspicious soldiers in the fortifications of the camp, so that the devils will think that we are really defending there, so as to achieve the effect of confusing and delaying their main forces......"

…………

The two herdsmen who went to Kara Street have returned, and they have hastily learned some common sense of bandaging and emergency measures for rescuing the wounded. At 9 o'clock in the morning on March 8, Captain Lin took them and returned the same way. The other commanders adjusted their strategies with the brigade headquarters and implemented them one after another......

At the same time, Motegi stationed the main force of the brigade in Chuanxindian, and led the brigade headquarters and some of the directly subordinate teams back to Houtougou. As they marched to the mouth of the Yonghu Yingzi River, the sound of intermittent chanting came from the Xiangshan Temple on the East Mountain. Motegi looked east unconsciously, and it turned out that the mountain where the Xiangshan Temple was located and the mountain where the Monkey Head Peak was located were one. The intermittent chanting sound, and the occasional bell or two, make people feel as if the Xiangshan Temple is doing a ritual. Motegi suddenly felt that it must have something to do with this war. As the troops received into Monkey Head Gou Street, he felt more and more that whether it was Monkey Head Peak or the high mountain where the Xiangshan Temple was located, they were like one or several invisible monkey heads, looking at him.

At this time, from the east, an official of the special high class came over, and he came up to Umei and said, "Chief of Staff Umei, Lieutenant Shannan is missing...... Umei was not small, and said very heavily: "Where will Shannan-kun go?" Look for it again. Yijie said: "When he first came back, he came to the hospital, but his face changed, he didn't move, and he cooperated with the doctor." Later, General Motegi ordered him to be sent to a special high school, and his mood changed greatly. ”

Umei said again: "Yijie-kun, go back and tell Qing Gu Ma Xiong, no matter what, you must find Shannan, he is a soldier of the empire, if you can't find it, you are all responsible for it." Captain Yijie stood up and saluted, shouted "Hai" and left.

At this time, the men and horses had already driven into the Fuhao Yong compound, and the east wing room that had been arranged in advance was still used as the war room of the Fourth Brigade. Umei followed up in the war room and said to Motegi, "General Motegi, according to the personnel of the Special High Division, Lieutenant Shannan has just disappeared. When Motegi heard this, his mood sank and he said, "Roaring, how could Shannan disappear?" Little monkey head ditch, where will he go? Motegi's displeasure made the hearts of the entire headquarters sink down. Everyone's faces, Motegi could feel it after all. Shannan was a good artillery lieutenant, and he ordered him to shell the monkey's head, and he became faced. If something unfavorable to the empire is brought out from Shannan, or if it is detrimental to the Fourth Brigade of the Imperial Army, this responsibility is greater.

Motegi was restless in the war room, and he walked out of the war room and into the courtyard. The busy command personnel and the soldiers of the guard saluted him incessantly, and Motegi waved his hand so that they would not interfere with his thoughts. While he was thinking about the problem, he looked to the north, and the monkey heads in the dark were still there, still staring at him coldly. He felt a little small, he felt obscene, and he felt that everything he wanted to do in Xiao Shangjing was pierced by the gods. The gods are forgetful, and they don't care about the subtleties, but if they order the artillery to fire this cannon, the gods will definitely blame. This blame was first fulfilled in Shannan.

Motegi felt that the entire Monkey Head Peak was going to be pressed over, and he felt even more insignificant, plus a little helpless. Those high-ranking people of the 117th Brigade, such as Brigadier Ding Boting, and those red elements, they all stood on the Monkey's Head Peak, and looked down at themselves with the eyes of a victor. Motegi couldn't stand it anymore, and he said to Fujino, the herald who hurried by: "Fujino-kun, pass on my order, and ask Kamekai Totaro Osa to send an artillery team, and I will also bombard Monkey Head Peak......"

When Umei heard what he said, he was very uncomfortable, and hurriedly ordered General Motegi to be dragged into the house, and really wanted to touch his forehead to see if he burned it...... Hearing the horseshoe tower coming outside, Umei hurriedly greeted him, and he was a captain again. Umei deliberately walked out of the gate so that Motegi couldn't hear him. Yijie stepped forward to salute and said, "Umei Daisa, someone saw Shannan-kun in Kokamikyo, but Kameda didn't help Osa's soldiers and said that they couldn't catch up." He was embraced by a group of ethereal women and disappeared into the ruins. The women were crying, saying that they still hated the country......"

Umei was thinking there, how did Kogamikyo, the ruins of the lost country, respond to the psychology of the people of China? And Shannan, you don't have to be mixed with them, it's been hundreds of years. At this time, another Oriental horse came, and the person who rode on it was still a special high class, it was Captain Natsukawa, he ran out of breath, and said: "Chief of Staff Umei, according to the latest detection of the special high class, Shannan-kun did not go to Kogamikyo, but went to Xiangshan Temple......" Umei said: "Aokuma Xiong quickly sent someone to find him back, General Motegi is angry, who can afford it?" ”

The two captains nodded yes and hurriedly went back to report to Aokuma. At this time, the herald of Yamasaru Jun ran out and said, "Umei Osa, General Motegi called you." Umei looked at the backs of the two captains of the special high class, thought about it, sorted it out, and seemed to see that Shannan's clone had skills, half of them went to Xiaoshangjing, and the other half flew to Xiangshan Temple. He suddenly remembered a folk tale from his childhood, about a monk who split himself in half in order to stop killing people in the shogunate and stop being hurt by Li Shu; Half of the Buddha is worshipped, and half of it is descended......

Seeing that he was not reluctant, he urged him again. Only then did he collect his thoughts and step back to the war room. Motegi saw him come back and said, "Umei-kun, where is Shannan?" I heard that he went to Xiangshan Temple, and as a soldier of the empire, his conscience was greatly broken. If it weren't for the fact that Amaterasu and Monkey Head Peak were both gods, I would blow up Monkey Head Peak from the roots. You don't have to go outside to say something, other people's eyes, I Motegi can still accept it. If this matter cannot be settled, I will be in this rich number forever. ”

When Umei heard this, he already knew that he had gone out to talk about things, and he still understood it very well, and his heart was a little relieved. Motegi looked at the chief of staff who got along day and night, and was very fond and appreciative. He said: "Commander Okamura Ninji just called, reprimanded me harshly, and blamed me for blowing up Monkey Head Peak without saying hello. Today, I'm out of the way, and I'm not standing on the Monkey's Head Peak with those red elements, and I'm going to blast it down......"

This time he really reached out and touched Motegi's forehead, and it was really hot. This was all angered by the 117th Brigade, and he also turned around and looked up at the North Mountain. The sun in early spring shone on Monkey Head Peak, and the towering and erect body that had been blown off its head really looked like a person. But he said that there were red elements and the top of the 117th Brigade on it, and he was a little feverish.

At the order of Motegi, Oni Beta Taro sent a mountain artillery team, under the leadership of the squad leader Tokoko Kanji, to drag two mountain cannons with horses to the Fuhao Yong compound. The artillerymen quickly raised the barrel and aimed at the high Monkey Head Peak. Motegi didn't seem to have a fever at all, and he asked Umei Michi, "Where did Aokuma say that Sannan-kun went?" Umei said: "They first said that someone saw Shannan go to the ruins of Kogamikyo; Later, he sent someone to say that Shannanjun went to Xiangshan Temple......"

When Motegi heard this, when he passed by the mouth of the Eiko River, he heard the melodious sound of the Daxiong Treasure Hall in the temple on the mountain, and the bells and drums ranging, as if he was doing important rituals. It turned out that Shannanjun was greeted so ceremoniously, and it seems that Shannan gave me a look of face and was very popular with the people of China. He said to Mei Jing: "Mei Jing-kun, whether it is Xiangshan Temple or Monkey Head Peak, I will let them be wiped out under the cannonballs...... Let the top brass of the 117th Brigade die without a place to be buried......"

Umei couldn't figure it out, he was sober for a while, confused for a while; One moment he said that he wanted to blow up Xiangshan Temple and Monkey Head Peak, and then he said that he wanted to blow up the top of the 117 Brigade. It's crazy for a while, sober for a while. He said, "General Motegi, this cannon can't be fired again, if you don't respect God, you don't respect Amaterasu." As for whether the top of the 117 Brigade is on it, I can't see it, but Lieutenant Shannan may be in the Xiangshan Temple, don't you want the warriors of the empire? ”

When Motegi heard him, he waved his hand to stop Tsuneko's order to open fire.

Umei and Motegi didn't stop talking, and a scout ran in to report, and he said, "Report to the chief, to the east of Fangshengou and to the west of Huajiagou, unidentified defenders have been found. According to the information of the Special High Division of the Fourth Brigade, this group of people is the one who repeatedly robbed and killed the imperial army transport team in the grassland. There was also a group of routs on that road......"
