Shigeichi Harata was able to become the leader of the major general's detachment and become a great contributor to opening the door to Wuhan, so naturally he was not a waste who would only get angry when he encountered something.

The defeat in front of him not only did not frustrate him, but aroused the high fighting spirit in his heart.

After Sekiya Jun left, Chief of Staff Liu Changzhi suggested: "Your Excellency, Detachment Leader, since this branch of the army has fled in the direction of Wuning, should we inform the friendly forces in the direction of Wuning about this matter and ask for their assistance?" ”

"No!" Hakuda Shigeichi flatly refused: "The battle of Zhangjialing, whether it is for the entire detachment, or for you and me, is a huge shame!"

Do you want your fellow Reich colleagues to come to see our jokes?

Besides, this branch of the army together is only five or six hundred people, so what is there to fear? ”

Liu Changzhi said: "Your Excellency Detachment Leader, the identity of this army is very strange, and there is a bold guess in the humble position, I don't know whether to say it or not?" ”

Ha Tian Shige: "Yanagi Shengjun, you can talk about it, and I don't need to sell anything." ”

Liu Changzhi frowned and said: "Your Excellency the detachment leader, in the battle of Zhangjialing, the reason why the imperial army was defeated was entirely because this branch of reinforcements was wearing the military uniform of our Imperial Japanese Army.

So much so that the imperial army did not fortify it, so it was taken by surprise.

Looking at the past examples, only the Tiger Ben Regiment liked to wear the uniform of the Imperial Army to carry out sabotage attacks.

Therefore, it is speculated that this army is very likely to be part of the Tiger Ben Regiment of the Chinese Army. ”

"The Tiger Regiment of the Chinese Army?" Shigeichi Harata: "It's really possible!"

Although the intelligence of the special high school showed that the Tiger Ben Regiment of the China Army tried to break through in the direction of Xianning, for this reason, the China side also sent a large number of troops to the rescue.

But it cannot be ruled out that this is another conspiracy of Yang Jing.

After all, Yang Jing is a person, we can't figure it out with the psychology of ordinary people! ”

Another operational staff officer said: "There should be no mistakes in the intelligence of the special high class, and besides, the 9th Theater of Operations in China has also sent a large number of additional main forces to the Xianning area as Yang Jing requested.

Could it be that in order to confuse us, Yang Jing even did not hesitate to lie about the military situation? ”

Ha Tian Shigeichi fell into a deep groan, and said after a while: "Yang Jing may dare to lie about the military situation, but he should not dare to lie about the military situation in such a way.

The movement is too big, so that even if the Tiger Ben Regiment can successfully break through, it will not be able to explain to his chairman and colleagues afterwards!

However, if the Tiger Ben Regiment of the Zhina Army temporarily changed its strategy and divided its troops into two routes, one of which went to Xianning and the other part went south to Xiushui, then all this would make sense. ”

Yanagi Nagaji and the other devil staff officer both nodded approvingly, obviously agreeing with Hakata Shigeichi's analysis.

Immediately afterwards, Yanagi Nagaji said: "Your Excellency Detachment Leader, since this is the case, should we report this matter to the headquarters and seek tactical guidance from His Excellency Commander Okamura?" ”

Hatashigakuchi: "Yanagi Shengjun, it is not difficult to see from the battle just now that the group of Zhina troops pretending to be the imperial army is definitely the most elite army even if it is placed in the Tiger Ben Regiment.

It is very likely that this branch of the army is Yang Jing's guard unit, or rather, the Dragon Soul Special Operations Brigade that completed the beheading of the 16th Division in the Chuzhou area and brought endless shame to our Imperial Japanese Army!

According to reliable information, this unit was created by Yang Jing and personally served as the commander of this unit.

Therefore, it is not ruled out that Yang Jing is in Chuzhou!

The battle exploits of killing Yang Jing are far greater than opening the door to Wuhan! After all, the military headquarters, the cabinet, and even His Majesty the Emperor have personally ordered that this guy who has repeatedly brought shame to the empire will be killed at all costs! ”

Speaking of this, Hakata Shigeichi's gaze suddenly became hot, and he continued: "Two, don't you want to have this immortal battle feat, and plan to give this away for nothing? ”

Yanagi Changji and another devil staff officer both swallowed a mouthful of saliva, no one could withstand such a temptation.

Except, of course, salted fish.

It's a pity that Yanagi Nagaji and the other devil counselor are not salted fish.

However, Liu Changzhi was not carried away by the battle exploits, and still maintained a little sobriety: "Your Excellency, Detachment Leader! Killing Yang Jing is indeed a great achievement for us.

However, looking at past examples, this army is far more difficult than any other army.

At the beginning of Yuexi, Commander Okamura gathered two divisions and more than 50,000 troops, but they failed to do anything, but even touched the ashes.

Therefore, with our current strength, it may be difficult to destroy it! ”

"Yanagi-kun, your worries are not unreasonable!" Shigeichi Harata was very different from the average Japanese officer, he was calm and very good at listening to the different opinions of his subordinates.

Therefore, when Liu Changzhi said the words to increase the prestige of the enemy and destroy his own morale, instead of being dissatisfied, he nodded deeply and approvingly.

After a pause, Habata Shigeichi said again: "But don't forget, the Tiger Ben Regiment of the China Army is divided into two ways this time, and the one that appears in Xiushui should only be a small force."

I even suspect that Yang Jing originally wanted to use this kind of dark way to quietly smuggle across Hunan from Xiushui.

But he didn't expect that the 11th Division was besieged by our army on top of Zhangjialing, so that his operational deployment was disrupted.

Otherwise, if a large force appeared in Xiushui territory, the scouts of the imperial army would have discovered them a long time ago! ”

Yanagi Changji was still a little worried, and opened his mouth to say something, but Harata Shigeichi didn't plan to give him another chance, and waved his hand and said, "Okay, this matter is settled!"

Taking a step back, even if we can't destroy it, then asking His Excellency the Commander for tactical guidance can be completely delayed until the arrival of a large force of the Imperial Army according to the favorable terrain!

Since the Zhina army is fleeing in the direction of Wuning, let's also start immediately. ”

With that, Habata Shigeichi walked out of the woods, came to the official road outside, raised his legs, and sat down in the body of a three-wheeled car.

Although Shigeichi Harata often listens to the suggestions of his subordinates, once he has made up his mind, no one else can change it.

At that moment, Yanagi could only nod his head, and immediately followed out.

……

On the other side, after receiving the order of Habata Shigeichi, Nobuo Sakata gave up the pursuit of the 11th Division, gathered his troops, and pursued in the direction of Wuning.

In addition, in order to prevent the tiger group from fishing in troubled waters, various localities have also strengthened vigilance.

……

At the same time, Yang Jing had already led his troops out for more than 10 miles and came to the checkpoint of the Japanese army in Linshui Town.

Peng Chuheng had no intention of making a detour to Yang Jing, but went straight to the checkpoint in front of him, and couldn't help but be a little anxious: "Commander Yang, after the battle of Zhangjialing is over, your identity must have been exposed.

Therefore, the devil will definitely strengthen his precautions.

What's more, we didn't change into the military uniform of the devil either, so, are we going to take a detour? ”
