Chapter 300: The Calm Before the Storm (First Update!) )
At the headquarters of the Japanese garrison brigade in Lingqiu City, Watanabe Nakasa sat in the position that should have belonged to Ida, with a solemn face.
A small county town, losing one Shaozuo and one Zhongzuo in a row, and losing hundreds of imperial troops, which is unimaginable in the eyes of the Laiyuan City Brigade Command.
After confirming that Ida Nakasa had been killed, the first thought of the brigade headquarters was that the main force of the 1st Division of the Eighth Route Army had come to Lingqiu.
But this judgment was not maintained even for a day before it was denied by a battle report from the front.
The main force of the 1st Division ambushed and killed the sweeping troops all the way into their base area on the battlefield more than 60 kilometers away from Lingqiu, killing and wounding nearly 1,000 imperial troops and imperial alliance troops.
Inflicting such a large casualty on the imperial army in just over two hours must have been the work of the main force of the 1st Division, there is no doubt about it!
This means that the Eighth Route Army operating in Lingqiu is not the main force of the first division.
After the brigade command sent this judgment to Watanabe Nakasa, Watanabe's first reaction was not to believe it!
Killed more than 1,000 people, although most of them were Imperial Cooperative Army, but after all, they were all soldiers armed to the teeth.
Coupled with the fact that Ida Nakasa, who had already been killed in battle, and the hundreds of imperial troops he brought into the garrison of the independent company, he did not believe that it was only a small force of the Eighth Route Army.
If the small units of the Eighth Route Army had such strong combat effectiveness, they could destroy so many Imperial Allied Army and Imperial Army. Then the combat effectiveness of their main force is not stronger, and in the face of such an elite with strong combat effectiveness, the imperial army does not have any chance of winning?
However, after a few days of investigation and intelligence gathering.
Faced with the ironclad facts, he had to believe in this ending that made him jaw-dropping.
The Eighth Route Army, which raided itself and killed Ida Nakasa, was not the main force of the 1st Division, but an independent company that had just been reorganized from the local troops of the 1st Division!
So many imperial troops and the imperial alliance army were all defeated in the hands of a company of the Eighth Route Army, losing troops and losing generals, and even the commander was killed!
Watanabe Nakasa can be Zhangxiang, once this matter spreads, he will definitely become the gendarme of the entire division, and he will never be able to raise his head!
"Smack......
Watanabe Nakasa's clenched fist slammed on the table in front of him, used to vent his inner anger and dissatisfaction.
The officers sitting around the table all bowed their heads and said nothing.
In particular, Tian Chengzhi, commander of the garrison battalion, was shot dead on the spot a few hours ago because he annoyed the captain in front of him, and he didn't say anything about it.
In order not to follow in the footsteps of that company commander, even if he has a stomach full of things and wants to report, he can only be a ninja at the moment, for fear of drawing Watanabe's anger to himself!
Whatever you're afraid of, you can come.
When he subconsciously looked up at Watanabe Nakasa, Watanabe Nakasa happened to be staring at him with a pair of angry eyes.
Tian Chengzhi quickly retracted his gaze and lowered his head, trying to avoid Watanabe Nakasa, but it was still too late.
"Battalion Commander Tian, your department is responsible for collecting all the information about the independent company, you should have made some gains!"
"I want to know all the information about the Independence Company! What kind of troops of the Eighth Route Army are the troops that let the imperial army fold in front of them again and again, and lose their troops! ”
Tian Chengzhi stood up stubbornly: "Taijun, according to our reconnaissance, although the independent company is only a company, their total strength has reached a battalion!" ”
"Unlike other units of the Eighth Route Army, the independent company is well-equipped and has sufficient ammunition."
"In terms of firepower, an independent company with the same strength has even surpassed the Imperial Army!"
"In addition, they are unpredictable in battle, and often fight some unexpected and dangerous battles, which makes people unguardable and very cunning. The imperial army has suffered many losses in front of them, and the soldiers have been defeated! ”
"According to the intelligence, after the independent company took the stronghold of Yantou Village, the strength of the two platoons directly killed the garrison, wantonly captured villages and towns in the area controlled by the imperial army, eliminated the armed personnel supporting the imperial army, and recruited troops to expand the troops!"
"Now they have occupied more than a dozen villages!"
"Because the imperial army is all in the county seat, those armed men outside the city are not opponents at all, and they will be crushed with one blow!"
"The independent company not only obtained a large amount of weapons, ammunition and food supplies from them, but also recruited a large number of recruits to replenish the troops!"
"I implore the Imperial Army to send troops immediately, kill these two Eighth Route Army troops, and at least drive them out of the area occupied by the Imperial Army, and we can't let them continue to be arrogant!"
Watanabe Nakasa did not speak with a calm face.
The adjutant next to him couldn't help but shout: "Sir, I support Camp Commander Tian's proposal and send troops to kill these two Eighth Route Army!" ”
"They are too arrogant, and if they continue like this, they will not only get a lot of supplies, but also recruit a lot of recruits!"
"When they train the recruits to become veterans, and there are plenty of food supplies, it will definitely be more difficult for us to eliminate them."
"Smack......
Watanabe's clenched fist slammed into the table in front of him.
Then he stared at everyone and asked, "Have you forgotten how Ida Nakasa died?" ”
"Two infantry squadrons, half an artillery squadron, half a heavy machine gun squadron, a guard squadron, and more than 500 imperial troops can be easily killed by them, can you guarantee that the troops we send out are even more powerful than the troops commanded by Ida Nakasa, and will not be completely annihilated by this so-called independent company?"
"Don't forget, in the entire Lingqiu County, all the gendarmerie and technical arms combined, the total strength of the imperial army is only more than eight hundred!"
"In order to ensure the safety of Lingqiu City, we can't send many troops to attack at all!"
"There are too few troops to attack, and to rush out is to send them to death, add fuel and vinegar, and let the independent company destroy more of our troops!"
A flash of unwillingness quickly flashed on the face of the deputy captain, and then he shouted: "Then we will watch the independent company do whatever it wants in our occupied area, continue to grow and develop, and then become a big problem for the imperial army!" ”
The expression on Ida Nakasa's face became more solemn.
With murderous intent flashing in his eyes, he replied with a serious face: "Just because we don't attack doesn't mean we can't use other methods!" ”
"Commander of the garrison battalion!"
Tian Chengzhi stood up and shouted with a compliment: "Taijun I'm here!" ”
"If there is any task, Taijun will confess, and I, Tian Chengzhi, will ensure that I will do it well for Taijun!"
Watanabe Nakasa shook his head and replied, "I don't need you to be stupid, as long as you can do things seriously for the imperial army!" ”
"Although I am not the captain of the Lingqiu County Garrison Brigade, but my superiors asked me to temporarily serve as a part-time company, then I have the right to make decisions on Lingqiu's military and political affairs."
"I have decided to cancel the establishment of the garrison battalion and change the garrison battalion to a special team, with you as the captain, Battalion Commander Tian!"
"In general, the special forces have no military missions, and they are mainly used to collect intelligence, confront the enemy's intelligence organizations, and harass and sabotage the enemy!"
"I demand that the newly formed special forces take immediate action, and through assassinations and explosions, they will cause panic in the independent company's station, and delay their development and growth as much as possible!"
"At the same time, contact all the armed personnel in the occupied areas of the Imperial Army, and let them cooperate with each other to attack and harass the independent company! Threaten the common people not to join the Eighth Route Army, otherwise they will be ready for the retaliation of the Imperial Army! ”
"In this matter, I will let the intelligence officers of the Imperial Army and the special high class in Lingqiu assist you in your operation, I hope you will not let me down!"
"The other troops must ensure the safety of Lingqiu City!"
"I'll contact the brigade command right away and ask for reinforcements!"
"Shangfeng asked me to continue to send troops to the base area of the first division of the Eighth Route Army, and cooperate with the other two sweeping troops to act together! If I don't have enough reinforcements, I won't be able to fight on both sides! Not only encircled and suppressed the independent company in Lingqiu, but also sent troops to sweep the base area of a division! ”
