Chapter XXVII
Casualties, wounded and killed, these are two completely different numbers for a unit, a skin abrasion is also a wound, a sprained ankle is also a wound, a bullet in the chest and abdomen is also a wound, but the death is different, this can only be one kind. Of course, there is also a type called disappearance.
The death of twenty-six soldiers was not a big deal for a brigade, and the death was still so strange that the plan to exterminate the independent regiment was postponed because of the impact of this incident.
"Arrest those two detachment leaders, and no one will be released without my order" Shimatani Daejeon, as the commander of the Major General's brigade, naturally did not believe in gods, Buddhas, ghosts, and ghosts, and when he heard the illogical report of the incident, he was furious on the spot and directly ordered the two detachment leaders to be imprisoned.
A person quietly killed twenty-six imperial soldiers in two detachments with a knife, and even the imperial soldiers of these two detachments showed no signs of resistance throughout the whole process, and the two detachment leaders were separated by five meters but did not know the situation, and the two detachment leaders were still unharmed, this story was defined as a fool by the brigade commander as soon as it was told, no, it was defined as a deception.
If it weren't for the obstruction of Captain Kazuo Mitsuda, he would have been able to shoot the two detachment leaders at that time.
After all, when this matter is told, even Kazuo Mitsuda still suspects that these two goods have concealed part of the truth of the matter. But these two people survived, and the relationship between these two people is very good on weekdays, and the confession is almost perfect without any loopholes, and he really can't find a big logical loophole in a short time.
"Mitsuda-kun, what do you think about this?" The two detachment commanders were locked up, and the brigade commander Shimatani Ota asked Kazuo Mitsuda that he still trusted his right-hand man.
"I went to the scene to see, the situation is indeed very strange, there are no traces of fraud at the scene, and there are no other traces of cover-up"
"At least from the on-site investigation, the two Rao confessions here are valid"
"Maybe they are hiding some information, but one thing is certain, but the death of these soldiers has nothing to do with their car" Kazuo Mitsuda came out with his own thoughts.
"Well, I think so too" The brigade commander nodded in agreement. It was a common thing for subordinates to lie, and as an officer who had been promoted from a soldier to a major general, he had seen this kind of thing too much, and he had even done it himself many times before. No matter what kind of troops, no matter how strict the military discipline and laws are, lies are inevitable, ranging from lying about military achievements to lying about military information, which is common and common.
"But these two aren't fools either, what kind of thing is it worth risking your life to lie?" The brigade commander then looked a little puzzled, as the captain of the detachment and also an officer, these two people should be very aware that this kind of lie may be shot if they don't pay attention to it, this is not such a thing as lying about the battle record.
In the army, you can report more losses or battle losses, but you definitely can't report less losses. The former has mixed interests and room for reversal, while the latter will surely die.
"Maybe scared stupid? That scene is really weird, "Thinking to no avail, Kazuo Mitsuda can only guess randomly."
"You come to investigate this matter, pay attention to safety" The brigade commander waved his hand, and then said, the death of dozens of soldiers is not a matter, but it is not a big deal, this kind of thing does not need him to worry too much.
"Brigade commander, is it possible that the enemy who annihilated the wild brigade did it?" Kazuo Mitsuda came up with his own conjecture.
Hearing this, Shimatani Ota was stunned for a moment, and then fell into thought, and he also began to connect the two things in his mind at this time. All of the men in the field were shot in the head, and the unknown enemy showed frightening accuracy of fire, and according to the words of the surviving artillery squadrons, there was only one enemy clearly visible, and it was extremely skilled, almost beyond imagination.
"These two detachment leaders shouldn't know the investigation report of the artillery squadron of the field brigade," Shimatani asked, narrowing his eyes.
"They can't reach it, and they don't have the means to know about it," Kazuo Mitsuda replied affirmatively.
There is a vague connection between these two events, and there is only one number of enemies reported by the survivors, and the enemies are all powerful and weird, and the dead soldiers are all the same way.
Tapping his fingers on the table and pondering for a moment, Shimatani Ota then summoned the herald and gave the order to suspend the departure to destroy the Independence Regiment, and he decided to investigate the death of 26 soldiers with all his might.
······
Tutuo Village Regiment Headquarters, Regiment Commander Zhang Da is thinking about the affairs of the Independent Regiment, the Independent Regiment is getting stronger and stronger, and there are more and more troops, but as a result, his regiment commander is also getting busier and busier, and he needs to be personally responsible for many things in this retreat, and the transfer of more than a dozen companies of three battalions is not a simple matter.
"Hey, it looks like we're going to have to get a staff officer."
While thinking about the problem, Master Zhang couldn't help but think in his heart, since the regiment began to expand significantly, he hadn't smoked comfortably for a long time.
Just as he was thinking about who to recruit as a staff officer, a communicator outside rushed in.
"Regiment Commander, Regiment Commander, there is information from Wanping City that the devils have stopped attacking our base area?"
"Ah, what are you?" Master Zhang, who was thinking about it, didn't react for a while.
"Regiment Commander, the devils have stopped attacking our base area, this is the news that our intelligence officers from Wanping City have just delivered," the correspondent repeated.
"Why, what happened?" This time, Grand Master Zhang heard it clearly, but the news made him a little flustered.
I've finished retreating, and only half of the company is still here, and you suddenly can't give it to me?
The attack on the devil's side was carried out with great fanfare, and there was no intention of concealing it, the gathering of troops, the mobilization of materials, the collection of intelligence, and the assistance of various puppet army county magistrates, although there was no public opinion propaganda, but it was already known to the whole city.
"I don't know, the devil's troops are scattered again, and the movement of supplies has stopped, the specific reason is not clear, but there is intelligence that the devil seems to be investigating something," the correspondent replied.
"Investigation?" Grand Master Zhang asked suspiciously.
"Who could be searching? This time, the devil didn't let the puppet army participate, so we didn't get specific information, but now Wanping City has strengthened its vigilance, and people without a pass are prohibited from entering and leaving, and the devil has also strengthened the patrol, and now the devil's patrol has been upgraded to the team level" The correspondent reported the information he received.
"Who's being investigated?"
"This is just my guess, the guard post at the city gate has been replaced by the new brigade devils, they are focusing on the search for young people, this is just my guess" The correspondent touched his head, and his words were a little embarrassed.
