"Noda Shaosa, I want to know what's going on right in front of me? Is this the celebration you boasted about to Your Excellency the General? Deputy Chief of Staff Nakasa, who had recovered from the shock, stared at Noda with a pair of angry eyes.

Noda Shaoza suddenly thought of Hongquan Village, and a flash of hope rekindled on his desperate face.

After the celebration is over, he will definitely become the laughing stock of his superiors and colleagues.

But if the matter of lying about war exploits is not exposed, then at most he will be punished by one punishment, and he will not be sent to a military court and cut off his military career for the rest of his life.

As long as the battle of Hongquan Village is won, then there is still hope for him, and it is no problem to keep the position of captain.

Noda's mind was running at high speed again, and he thought of a reason to fool the deputy chief of staff.

"Sir's anger!"

After thinking about it, Noda decided to use the method he had just used.

"It must have been done by those anti-Japanese armed forces who slipped through the net, they didn't want us to successfully hold a celebration exhibition, announce their defeat, and then destroy our celebration exhibition at all costs!"

"Please rest assured, sir, the humble post will definitely catch these saboteurs and give an explanation to His Excellency the General!"

"Give the lowly post an hour to make sure that the celebration exhibition will be restored to order!"

Nakazo frowned and asked, "Catch?" How do you catch it? People are running away? Also, why didn't you just order the troops to shoot and stop those Chinese! ”

"As long as we surround them here, we will check them one by one, and we will definitely be able to find out those sneak attackers!"

Cold sweat had begun to break out on Noda's forehead, forcing himself to calm down.

"Sir, in order to prevent the Chinese from destroying the celebration exhibition, the common people you saw just now are all good people from all villages and towns who support our imperial army, and they are the head snakes of the land, if the imperial army shoots them and kills people, they will definitely be discredited with dignity and reputation, which is not conducive to the imperial army's rule over Lingqiu!"

"Therefore, I would rather let go of those fish that slipped through the net for the time being, and slowly find them in the future and kill them, and I can't affect the overall situation of the imperial army in Lingqiu!"

Nakasa's face looked a lot better: "Noda-kun, you are right, the strength of the imperial army is too small, China is too big, if the imperial army wants to manage such a large territory, it must rely on those Chinese who support us, Your Excellency the general said this more than once!" ”

"I'll give you two hours, make sure to get the celebration exhibition back in order!"

"The celebration exhibition is to publicize the military exploits of the imperial army, and it must not be allowed to become a joke!"

Noda Shaosa breathed a sigh of relief, and then began to give orders.

I began to pray in my heart that on the battlefield of Hongquan Village, dozens of kilometers away, the imperial army must win and kill those Eighth Route Army!

Even if the celebration exhibition in front of him is really destroyed, the hat of lying about the war exploits will not be able to be buckled on his head.

It only took an hour for the celebration to resume order, and seeing a smile slowly appearing on Nakasa's tense face, Noda Shaosa knew that he had passed this level.

Just as he was about to take a breath, one of his subordinates rushed over.

Noda recognized him at a glance as the squadron leader of the city he had sent out.

Seeing that the other party had a solemn face and a very unsightly face, Noda Shaozo's heart jumped, and he felt a trace of bad premonition.

"Sir...... Action ......"

As soon as the squadron leader spoke, Noda Shaosa kept glancing at him, and then interrupted: "What is the matter to the headquarters to say, this is the celebration exhibition!" ”

The deputy chief of staff of Nakasa was not so easy to fool, and raised his eyebrows and asked: "Noda-kun, I always feel that something is wrong with you today, and you are always restless, what is there to hide from all of us, and now it seems to be true?" ”

"If you have something, please don't let your subordinates report it here, and you can only report it when you return to the headquarters. If it's something important, won't it delay the military situation! You are still a junior officer of the Imperial Army, so you won't even forget such common sense! ”

Noda was sweating profusely, but there was no reason to refute it.

I could only watch as Nakasa asked the squadron leader under him.

"Report anything here!"

"Seeing that you are rushing over in such a hurry, it must not be a trivial matter to report!"

"Hey!"

The squadron leader finally reacted, but it was too late, and he could only answer stubbornly.

"Sir, on our way to reinforce Hongquan Village, we encountered the blocking troops of the Eighth Route Army, they had strong firepower, and they were also equipped with mortars and heavy machine guns, and the reinforcements suffered more than half of the casualties before they reached Hongquan Village."

"In order to avoid unnecessary casualties for the troops, I took the initiative to lead the reinforcements to retreat, and asked the commander to surrender!"

"Also, when the troops retreated, the gunfire in the direction of Hongquan Village had stopped, and the lowly judgment that the stronghold had been captured by the Eighth Route Army!"

"Continuing to reinforce there will not only not save the stronghold, but will also be attacked by the main force of the Eighth Route Army, and the reinforcements will also be trapped there!"

Noda Shaosa stood beside him, his face turned pale again, and he couldn't say a word.

His last hope was also shattered, and he lost this gamble completely, and he didn't even have a chance to turn defeat into victory.

Nakasa next to him was shocked at first, and then he was replaced by anger.

"Noda-kun, didn't you report that all the anti-Japanese forces in Lingqiu have been wiped out by you, and only some fish have slipped through the net?"

"Then tell me, what's going on with the stronghold in Hongquan Village that he just reported? And what happened to the fact that more than half of the reinforcements were killed or wounded? ”

The desperate Noda Shaosa is like a defeated rooster, with his head down and not saying a word.

After a long time, he replied: "Sir, you are tired of your humble duties, let the deputy captain report it!" He knows the whole thing! ”

After saying that, Noda Shaosa moved his feet and walked towards the headquarters with great difficulty.

He is finished, just a lie about his military exploits is enough to ruin the rest of his life, and he doesn't care about offending a deputy chief of staff who doesn't have much real power in front of him.

Seeing the figure of the captain leaving slowly disappearing, the deputy captain hurriedly reported: "Sir, the Eighth Route Army in Lingqiu has not been killed by us!" ”

"We only killed part of their troops in the last battle, and it wasn't until yesterday that we knew that their main force still existed, and launched an attack on our Hongquan Village stronghold, and we also used tactics to kill two squads of the Imperial Army in advance, and two companies of the Imperial Allied Army, all of which were garrisons of the Huangquan Village stronghold!"

Nakazo was able to understand it at one point, and his angry face also showed an expression of sudden realization.

"The Eighth Route Army first used a strategy to kill the main force of the garrison in the stronghold of Hongquan Village, and then concentrated its forces to attack the stronghold of Hongquan Village!"

"In order to remedy this, Noda Shaozo immediately sent troops to reinforce the stronghold of Hongquan Village, wanting to seize the opportunity to kill them!"

"But you underestimated the strength of this Eighth Route Army, and the reinforcements not only did not kill them, but retreated with heavy casualties!"

"If it weren't for the fast reaction speed of this squadron leader, the reinforcements wouldn't even have a chance to retreat!"

"Sir, wise!" The lieutenant and deputy captain replied with his head bowed.

Zhongzuo continued to ask, "Tell me, with the Hongquan Village stronghold plus reinforcements, how many troops did the Lingqiu garrison lose?" ”

"An infantry squadron of the Imperial Army, a dissatisfied battalion of the Imperial Army, and a half-infantry squad of reinforcements!"

Zhongzuo finally couldn't help but be completely furious, like an angry lion, and scolded: "More than two hundred imperial troops were buried in your hands like this, are you all stupid pigs?" No, even pigs are smarter than you! ”
