Chapter 17: The Soldiers Are Coming to the City
Kondo left the headquarters of Dohihara, then changed into a shozo's officer uniform and prepared to drive to the 2nd Wing.
Out of the tent, the female Chinese assassin was waiting at the door.
Kondo said very politely: "Miss Han Yun has made you wait for a long time, or you can also change your clothes, if you can wear our kimono, I will be very happy." β
Han Yun said with a cold face: "My task is to protect you, not for your appreciation." β
Kondo bowed his head and apologized, and continued: "I heard that Miss Han has never left the house for six years and is dedicated to practicing martial arts, and this time she made an exception for me and trekked through mountains and rivers to this dangerous place. It's a real honor to think about it. β
Han Yun said: "I have been out of the house and killed people. Also, I didn't come out this time for you, you have to remember that. β
"Not for me?" Kondo was not frustrated and asked, "What is that for?" Of course, this is my curiosity, and Miss Han doesn't have to answer. However, if there is anything I can help with, Miss Han just asks. β
Han Yun looked away, leaking bitterness.
At noon, Ishiguro was still stepping up demining operations. If all the mines were not cleared, the artillery and logistics could not follow up in time, and it would be difficult for the wounded during the attack on Lanfeng to withdraw to the rear.
"Report, Your Excellency Kondo is here."
"Please!"
Kondo walked into Ishiguro's headquarters alone, and Han Yun stayed outside so as not to cause unnecessary misunderstandings.
Kondo is a student of Dojihara, and Ishiguro Sadazo is naturally polite, and he welcomes: "Kondo-kun, you are here, welcome!" You are the proud protΓ©gΓ© of General Tu Feiyuan, and I hope you will advise me a lot on the things that will happen in the future. β
Jin Tengxun saluted: "Don't dare!" The humble position was ordered by the teacher to come to help, and I hope that His Excellency Ishiguro will not hesitate to give advice. If I could learn a little bit from you, I'd be satisfied. β
This sentence made Ishiguro Sadazo feel comfortable to hear, and the irritability in his heart before had subsided a lot, and he began to like the young officer in front of him.
Immediately, Ishiguro Sadazo recounted the battle situation in great detail, and then sighed: "I already know that Lanfeng is an empty city, and there is only a small army there to resist. But they are very unparticular about fighting, and I have suffered a great loss from them before. β
Kondo chuckled and said, "You've met a master of mental warfare, so you can't use normal thinking to deal with such an enemy. β
Ishiguro asked, "What is Kondo-kun's opinion?" β
"I don't dare to do it."
Kondo came to the command table, pointed to the map on it, and said, "The enemy has laid mines on the road with the aim of slowing down the march of our troops, and if it is not ruled out, it will affect the mobility of our troops. Their commander was smart, and he knew that the key to this battle was time. β
Ishiguro Sadazo slapped the table and said helplessly: "Yes, I also have a headache, if you don't remove the mines on the road one by one, then the materials in the rear will not be able to be transported to the front line in time." β
Kondo said to Ishiguro: "Your Excellency Osa don't have to worry, the two are not in conflict. β
"Oh~ How do you say this?"
"The enemy has limited forces, and I'm sure they won't fight a regular positional battle with us, so artillery won't be useful for a while."
"I see,......
Ishiguro Sadazo drew inferences from one another, and suddenly realized.
The key to the battle is time. The defenders had limited strength, and infantry, cavalry, and light firepower were enough to deal with them. As long as a brigade is sent to bypass the road and attack Lanfeng directly, and the sappers are slowly clearing mines during the battle, the two will not conflict at all. By the time there is a shortage of wounded or supplies, the mines on the roads are almost empty.
Kondo just stood quietly. Too much cleverness can be offensive, especially in front of one's superiors, and it is necessary to grasp the degree. If you can guide and let the other party show off, the effect will be better.
What Ishiguro lacks is this kind of leap-out thinking. Immediately, he immediately made arrangements and ordered a brigade to bypass the road and be sure to launch an attack on Lanfeng before one o'clock in the afternoon.
Kondo made a very good first impression on Ishiguro Daisa: steady, modest, and wise. Psychology calls this first impression the "first cause effect."
The "first cause effect" mainly refers to the impression left by people in the first interaction, and the formation of this impression will occupy a dominant position in the other person's mind.
Xiao Zhan had already returned to the city with his troops. While the devils were busy clearing mines on the road, the troops got a rare opportunity to rest, and the soldiers recuperated and prepared for the afternoon battle with all their might.
"I stood on the tower and watched the mountain view, and I heard the chaos outside the city......"
On the upper floor of the East City, Xiao Zhan, Zhao Guangfu, and Zheng Binghao rested here, and Zhao Guangfu sat west and sang "Empty City Strategy".
Zheng Binghao complained on the side: "A horse and a flat river, where did the mountain scenery come from." β
Xiao Zhan leaned against the column, closed his eyes and said: "This is the artistic conception, the mountain rain is coming, the wind is full of buildings, and the storm will come soon." β
Zhao Guangfu stopped singing and said, "After I calmed down, I felt like you were on a thief ship. And that kid surnamed Zhou, he's your trust, right? Your mouths are stronger than the other, your thoughts are deeper than the other, and it seems that my old Zhao can't get off this thief ship. β
Xiao Zhan said: "What I said, leaving so many troops, which one I forced them to stay?" β
Zhao Guangfu got up, put his hands on the city wall and looked down, and said, "It's just a joke, why take it seriously." Kill so many devils in the morning, and more in the afternoon. Even if you die in battle and your blood stains Lan Feng, so what's the matter!? β
Xiao Zhan patted Zheng Binghao and said, "This is the heroism of men, the bloody nature of Chinese masters, learn a little." β
Men are very strange creatures, as long as they have similar personalities and like-mindedness, they will establish some kind of bond in a very short time. What's more, they are brothers on the battlefield who have experienced life and death together.
At this time, a soldier ran up to the city tower and handed a telegram to Xiao Zhan, reporting: "Report, I just received a very strange telegram. β
Xiao Zhan took the message, and on it was the information of a person, and that person was Kondo.
The information has Kondo's age, place of origin, position, and even his personality written down.
Zheng Binghao peeked at it and asked, "Company commander, what is written on it?" β
Xiao Zhan put the message away, his expression was no longer as relaxed as just now, and he replied, "The battle in the afternoon is not good. β
Ishiguro accepted Kondo's suggestion, and the Devil's vanguard soon arrived near Lanfeng Castle and immediately lined up to attack Lanfeng at one o'clock in the afternoon.
The devil suddenly came to the city, this is called Xiao Zhan unexpectedly, and he feels that the other party has suddenly become smarter, is it because of the devil named Kondo Xun mentioned in the message?
Xiao Zhan knew that the message was sent by Lin Xi'er, and only the people in the division headquarters knew the frequency of the radio, except for Lin Xi'er, Xiao Zhan couldn't think of a second person. However, where did she get the information from Kondo?
