On the same day, Nomura Toshio received a reprimanding call from the Shinkyo Command, and ordered him to mobilize all the forces that could be mobilized in his defense area within three days to encircle and suppress Wudou Township.

At the same time, a force of more than 300 people quietly left Xinjing and approached in the direction of Panshi.

Wudou Township.

The first batch of people, numbering about 1,200 people, had already left under the escort of a company of soldiers and headed for the steppe.

These people are relatively confident in Liu Cheng, and they are also willing to transfer with the independent battalion.

According to Liu Cheng's request, they carried very few belongings, and the young people among them were all pulling carts of different sizes with food on them.

For nearly a year, all the people in the independent battalion and Wudou Township have not been worried about food problems.

The grain obtained after killing Fan Wencai's traitor landlords had already been eaten, and now all the rest was bought back by Liu Cheng from all over the country.

From this point of view, Qian Lu is indeed a talent.

Or rather, it can be said that people "wealth".

Nowadays, there are shops purchased by Qian Lu throughout the Panshi area and some places further afield, and the daily turnover income is a large amount of money.

Naturally, Liu Cheng would not deposit the money in the banks of Manchukuo, let alone trade reserves with sheep bills that would soon depreciate to the point that they would not be easy to burn.

Every half a month, Qian Lu would exchange the money he earned for gold bars and send someone to Wudou Township.

No matter what time it is, if you have money in your pocket, you will have a bottom in your heart.

This is an eternal truth.

This was especially true during the war years, when if there was no money, there was nothing to talk about; The soldiers can't even eat enough, so how can they have the strength to fight the battlefield?

In Wudou Township for nearly a year, although there have been more than a dozen battles large and small, on the whole, it can be regarded as the team is developing steadily and accumulating strength.

However, if you want to stay in one place for a long time in the Northeast and not be exterminated by the devils, it is really unrealistic to remove those deep mountains and old forests.

wants to develop and grow, but also wants not to be targeted by devils, I am afraid that such a good thing is not even bald, let alone such a little person in Liu Cheng's hands?

A team of thousands of people alone looks quite bluffing, but if it is really pulled to the battlefield, it will be wiped out in minutes.

For example, Liu Cheng's heart is in Songhu, a team of 1,800 people is thrown into the huge meat grinder, which is not enough to eat dumplings on the battlefield of Songhu.

But even so, the Central Plains still has to go, and Songhu still has to fight!

The Northeast is indeed suitable for survival, but it is limited to sticking your head in the crotch of your pants, otherwise, it will be a matter of a blink of an eye.

There are many people on the battlefield in the Central Plains, and the Northeast, as the "base" and "big rear" of little devils in China, has never lacked troops.

If you enter the Central Plains, you can still have other teams to cooperate, stay in the Northeast, and then just wait for death.

The Anti-Japanese Federation could barely survive until 41 years, which was basically equivalent to being broken up.

Even if every soldier in the independent battalion can have three heads and six arms on his shoulders, he can still beat hundreds of thousands of people?

Besides, leaving Wudou Township is just a strategy, and it doesn't mean that you are really scared by the little devil and run away with your tail between your legs.

At least before leaving, those "grievances and grievances" with Toshio Nomura must be dealt with, and no trace of "regrets" can be left!

Rock Gendarmerie.

Aomori Sasaki did not build another three- or four-story building, but built a row of bungalows, and at a glance he couldn't even tell which was the soldier's barracks and which was his office.

Guan Hong's shells really taught him a perfect lesson, and they also completely hit his arrogance.

At this time, Sasaki Aomori was sitting in the corner of the courtyard, enjoying the shade while studying the battle plan with his vice-captain.

As for the combat object, it is naturally the youth battalion of Wudou Township.

Nomura Toshio was severely scolded by the above, and while ordering him to exterminate the juvenile battalion with all his might, he also informed him to report to the Xinjing Headquarters immediately after the battle and accept investigation.

Now in Nomura Toshio's heart, his hatred for Liu Cheng is no less than that of Ono Taro at the beginning.

Moreover, whether or not the independent battalion can be exterminated is no longer just a matter of hatred, but also directly related to his fate.

killed Liu Cheng and exterminated the independent battalion, maybe his position as the captain could be kept; But if it fails again, let alone the position of this captain, even the guy who eats on his neck is likely to be "confiscated".

How could he not be concerned in such a situation?

Three days ago, Sasaki Aomori received a call from Toshio Nomura himself, informing him to be ready to cooperate with the military operation against Goto Township at any time.

The word "cooperation" is what Sasaki Aomori wants to hear the most.

This means that other troops are the main attackers, and his team is only cooperating.

If his team is the main attacker, then Aomori Sasaki will have a headache.

Now Nomura Toshio didn't know about the two 75mm mountain guns, and if he did, this one thing alone would be enough for him to drink a pot.

However, he can't take the initiative to confess, and not only can't he confess, even if the matter is exposed, he can't admit it.

Nomura Toshio's current situation is very clear to him, if he talks about these two mountain cannons at this time, he will easily be regarded as a backing by Nomura Toshio.

Even if the matter is revealed, as long as he doesn't admit it, Zhang Haipeng doesn't come out to identify it, Nomura Shouo is a person who has a fault, even if he wants to pull him on his back, it is not easy.

The most urgent task at the moment is to overcome the immediate difficulties ---- eliminate the independent battalion.

If he succeeds, the crisis he faces will be automatically resolved; If it fails, then it's a problem.

Now the biggest headache for him is that he doesn't know which main attacking team in this battle is, if there is no team with super combat effectiveness, then it must be won by numbers.

In his eyes, the lives of those puppet troops are not called for death at all, and they can directly use people to consume the opponent's ammunition, materials and combat effectiveness, and then dispatch Japanese troops at a critical moment, and they can also achieve the final victory.

Fortunately, Nomura Toshio gave him some rights to mobilize all the puppet troops in the Rock at will.

The puppet army at Chimney Hill was brought by himself; In addition, within the Rock Realm, there are five puppet armies, ranging in number from one hundred to three hundred.

Together, there are almost thousands of these people, and even if they can't play any obvious role, they can at least effectively consume each other.

The deputy captain of that was called Inoue Hara, with the rank of lieutenant, with a pair of gold-rimmed glasses, looked polite, and did not look like a soldier at all.

But if anyone judges people by their appearance, they will definitely suffer a big loss.

This Inoue had been in northeastern China for less than a year and a half, and hundreds of anti-Japanese fighters had died at his hands, not to mention hundreds of them.

Among them were a deputy regiment commander and two battalion commanders under Zhang Guan.

After graduating from the military academy, Inouuehara studied abroad in the Eagle Country for two years, mainly studying special operations coordinated command.

Due to his excellent grades, he was awarded the rank of lieutenant when he entered the army after returning to Japan, and had served in the Sihei garrison until three months ago, along with Sasaki Aomori, who was transferred to Toshio Nomura.

Inoue originally had a special skill, that is, the gun was accurate, and he could accurately hit a single target of about 300 meters with the naked eye, and he was a real sharpshooter.

The Type 38 rifle he used was modified and equipped with a 2.5x optical scope, which was even more powerful to him.

If it is a daytime battle, as long as the opponent's commander dares to show his head, he can kill him in the first place.

Aomori Sasaki's current reliance, more than half of which is this Inouehara.

Sasaki Aomori pointed to the map on the ground and said to Inouehara:

"Inoue-kun, how sure are you that we will attack Wudou Township this time?"

Inoue was a cautious man who never took any opponent lightly, which is why he has survived until now.

Even if the opponent is an old man in the twilight, he will attack with all his strength until he is sure that the opponent is completely dead.

When killing the deputy head of Zhang Guan's subordinates, he relied on this caution, and when the other party had begun to flee, he still did not choose to rush forward, but chased after him in an orderly manner, slowly but effectively eliminating the opponent's living force.

When the opponent was in a desperate situation and there were only a dozen people left around him, he still chose to strike accurately from a distance, rather than leading his troops to surround him.

Such an enemy is not terrifying, but it is extremely difficult.

Inoue Hara stared at the map for a while before he tentatively spoke:

"Captain, we don't know which team is responsible for the main attack yet, and I think it's still a little early to make a battle plan now."

Aomori Sasaki frowned slightly, and a trace of unhappiness appeared on his face:

"Inoue-kun, no matter which team is in charge of the main attack, we have to go all out, if we don't make a battle plan now, do we have to wait until after the battle starts?"

Now in addition to Nomura Toshio, the most anxious person in my heart is Aomori Sasaki.

Inoue Hara knew this, but he didn't break it.

It is simply unrealistic for everyone in that war to say that they are not a little selfish.

Whose life is raised by his father and mother, not by the wind.

It is true that the Japanese soldiers were brainwashed very thoroughly, but not everyone was bent on being loyal to their Tianhuang, and it was better to live than to die.

Especially these grassroots officers, with the title of being an officer, still have to work the front line, and the chance of death is not much smaller than that of those ordinary soldiers.

And most importantly, they have responsibilities on them.

If you win the battle, you can do anything, but if you lose, you may not know what disaster will befall you.

Uehara also knew about the two 75-millimeter mountain guns in Aomori Sasaki's alley, so he naturally knew why Aomori Sasaki was in such a hurry to formulate a battle plan now.

It's a matter of life, who can't care?

But Inouuehara didn't want to wade into the troubled waters.

Even if this battle is lost, the unlucky ones are only Nomura Toshio and Aomori Sasaki, and he is a small vice-captain, at most, he will be punished and will not affect anything.

But if he helps Aomori Sasaki come up with ideas and make a battle plan now, if he wins, most of the credit will go to Aomori Sasaki; But if he loses, he will be pulled by Sasaki Aomori.

After all, this is not just the battle of their two squadrons, but also those puppet armies.

Thousands of puppet soldiers, their life or death is not important to the Japanese, if the battle can be won, if they die, they will die, and no one will care.

But if everyone is defeated after they are dead, then the above must be held responsible.

Inoue didn't want to "share" this big black pot with Sasaki Aomori.

Inoue pretended not to see Aomori Sasaki's expression, and said with a smile:

"Captain, in my opinion, we just need to have all the teams assemble within the allotted time, and listen to their battle arrangements when the main attacking force arrives.

If we are doing what we are told, if something goes wrong, it won't have much impact on us, you say? ”

Aomori Sasaki's heart moved, and just as he was about to speak, a Japanese soldier hurriedly ran up to him and said loudly:

"Report to the captain, there is a troop of ours coming from outside the city, please come out of the city to greet you!"
