Chapter 383: Now Is Not What It Used To Be (First Update!) )

Once bitten by a snake, ten years afraid of the well rope!

This is Watanabe's deepest experience at this moment.

The damage caused to him by the independent battalion was too great, not only causing the Watanabe Brigade to be demoted from the main force to the local garrison force, but also demoting all the officers of the Watanabe Brigade by one level, making himself suffer the first great humiliation since joining the army.

Whether it is at the national and ethnic level, or personal grievances, the independent battalion is its own mortal enemy, and it is eager to break it into pieces immediately.

But Watanabe knew that this idea was too unrealistic.

The independent battalion is too powerful, and although Watanabe doesn't want to admit it, he has already tacitly accepted in his heart that it is the most formidable opponent he has ever encountered since he joined the army.

With the current strength of the Japanese army in Lingqiu, it is definitely not an opponent of the independent battalion.

He must be quiet and careful to avoid war and wait until he has enough strength to fight back.

Reinforcements were the only way for him to regain his strength, and in order to take revenge, he had to ensure that the reinforcements entered Lingqiu City safely.

However, the first time he was attacked on the way to Lingqiu, and the second time the reinforcements were hit the way to Lingqiu, the two lessons from the past made him full of worries about the reinforcements coming to Lingqiu, afraid that the reinforcements would repeat the mistakes of the past again.

After hesitating for a few seconds, he said with a solemn expression.

"You are right, as long as the independent battalion gets the news, it will definitely hit them at all costs!"

"Reinforcements account for nearly half of the recruits, and there is no run-in training with each other, or even a unified command. It would certainly be easier for the Independent Battalion to attack them now than it would be for them to attack them after they entered Lingqiu. If I were the commander of an independent battalion, I would never let go of this opportunity! ”

The adjutant apparently also thought of what happened to the Watanabe Brigade against the independent battalion, and his face turned pale at that time, and he shouted in great anxiety.

"Sir, these reinforcements are our only chance to be ashamed of ourselves, and there must be no accidents!"

Watanabe replied with a solemn face, "I know!" ”

"Again and again, we have lost our troops on this road twice, and we have been defeated by the independent battalion. This time, no matter what, it can no longer be pressed and beaten by the independent battalion, and the reinforcements must reach Lingqiu safely! ”

After speaking, Watanabe walked to the side of the huge combat sand table and pointed to the sand table and analyzed.

"There are nearly thirty kilometers of the entire road that may be attacked by the independent battalion, as long as this section of the road is safe, the reinforcements can reach Lingqiu safely!"

The adjutant replied with a bitter face: "It's not easy to say, this section of the road is full of mountains and hills on both sides, and every place can sneak attack us, and it is impossible to prevent it at all!" ”

"There must be a way!" Watanabe replied stiffly.

After staring at the sand table for ten full minutes, he suddenly asked the adjutant: "We have been rectifying the Imperial Association Army for more than a month, how is their situation now!" ”

A rare smile flashed on the adjutant's solemn face: "Very good!" ”

"It's still our own people who can be trusted, and after rectification, the imperial army's control over them has reached an unprecedented level!"

"In order to collude with the imperial army, many squad and platoon commanders have reached the point where they only listen to the orders of the imperial army officers and instructors, and do not listen to the orders of their original company commanders!"

"In addition, after the Imperial Army entered the Imperial Army, the situation of the officers of the Imperial Army deducting the soldiers' salaries was greatly reduced, the soldiers' treatment was better, and their attitude towards the Imperial Army was better than before, and many people began to support and support the Imperial Army."

"A month's training has made their combat effectiveness rise gradually, although it is not up to the level of the Imperial Army, but compared to the previous Imperial Army, it has taken on a new look!"

"In addition, after we took out all the weapons in stock, the expansion of the Imperial Allied Army has been completed, and the total strength has reached the four main battalions and guard companies required by you, sir, for a total of thirteen main companies, in addition to an artillery company and a heavy machine gun company!"

"Each infantry company is equipped with two machine guns and two grenadiers, with a total strength of more than 130 people!"

Watanabe nodded and continued, "What about the special forces?" ”

"Shangfeng has assigned five professional intelligence officers to us from the special high class, and let them each command a squad of the special team, and personally train and command them!"

"The special agent captain Tian Chengzhi is very cooperative, so the progress of the special team is also very great!"

"Up to now, the intelligence network of the special task force has re-penetrated into the base area of the Eighth Route Army!"

"Each of their units has their intelligence officers stationed nearby, closely monitoring their every move!"

"In addition, they have also set up two special action teams in the special service team, in the same style as the special high class action team, specializing in assassination and sabotage missions!"

"I received a report from them two days ago, and at most two months, these two teams will be able to carry out their tasks!"

"Yo Xi!" Watanabe's solemn face also showed a satisfied smile.

Then he made a decision: "Since the Imperial Allied Army and the Special High School are almost reorganized, then we will use this operation to test the effect of our rectification and confirm whether the method of letting the Imperial Army enter the Imperial Allied Army and the Special Service Team is correct!" ”

The adjutant had a shocked expression on his face at that time: "Sir, you want the Imperial Allied Army and the Special Forces to protect the reinforcements from entering Lingqiu!" ”

"Can they?"

"The combat effectiveness of the Imperial Allied Army was so poor that it could surrender without a fight when there was an Imperial Army. Wouldn't it be too risky to let them go it alone! ”

A hint of hesitation flashed across Watanabe's face.

But soon he became firm again: "Just let them go!" ”

"Even if we don't believe in the Imperial Cooperative Army and the Special Forces, we must believe in the Imperial Army we inserted!"

"Now that they have confirmed that they can control the Imperial Allied Army, and have guaranteed that their combat effectiveness is no longer what it used to be, and they will not take the initiative to surrender to the Eighth Route Army as before, then we should give them a chance!"

"Also, I won't let them fight alone!"

"One infantry company, we will strengthen one combat detachment of the Imperial Army to supervise the battle, and in addition, we will dismantle all their artillery and fire companies, and each company will be strengthened with a heavy machine gun and a mortar!"

The adjutant's face was a lot less worried: "In this case, their combat effectiveness should be okay!" ”

"However, if you want them to attack, it's still a bit hanging!"

Watanabe shook his head and replied, "Although it is an initiative to attack, to protect the reinforcements to reach Lingqiu safely." But I don't need them to attack the Eighth Route Army, I just need them to fight the defensive battles they do best! ”

The adjutant was puzzled: "Defense? ”

"Do you want them to guard next to the reinforcements and protect the reinforcements all the way to Dan Lingqiu!"

"No way!" Watanabe refused without hesitation.

"It's too passive! The separate battalion was too cunning and well equipped. Blindly being beaten passively, even if the reinforcements can reach Lingqiu safely, the Imperial Cooperative Army and the special forces escorted will definitely suffer heavy casualties! ”

"The troops we have integrated at such a great cost must not be lost in vain!"

"Then how do you protect them, and it's still defense?" The adjutant was even more puzzled!
