Chapter 5: The Naked Child (Ninth Middle School)

It took an hour. Kawada Kuniaki gathered the puppet army again. Including Shi Lanbin, the commander of the garrison brigade who fell off his horse on his own initiative. He was also carried by several henchmen on a stretcher improvised with a rifle. Foaming at the mouth. Unconscious.

"Lift him to the car. Arrange for emergency rescue by a doctor immediately." Glancing at the Imperial Concord army around them, they were like walking corpses. Kuniaki Kawada resisted the urge to make up for a shot in Shi Lanbin's head. Command loudly. The situation is already like this. Killing Shi Lanbin won't save anything. Besides, Shi Lanbin's ability and courage are not very good. In the garrison brigade it is quite cohesive. If they are put to death on the spot without trial. It will undoubtedly add to the morale of the garrison brigade, which is already on the verge of collapse.

"Tie them both up for me. Shot." Didn't wait for the puppet major general brigade commander Shi Lanbin to be placed. Kuniaki Kawada pointed to the panicked two puppet army commanders, Zhang Jinbao and Yang Yaozu. Again with a loud command.

"Hi Yi." Several wolf-like devil soldiers pounced forward. Knocked the two pseudo-regimental leaders Zhang Jinbao and Yang Yaozu to the ground. Tie it up and tie it up strongly.

"Wronged." until they were tied up into rice dumplings. The two pseudo-regimental leaders, Zhang Jinbao and Yang Yaozu, realized that a catastrophe was coming. Qi Qi opened his throat and shouted loudly." Treat unjustly. Taijun Kaien. Treat unjustly. Treat unjustly. The two of us have done our best. It's not that we don't do our best. It's the eight roads that are too ferocious. It's the Eight Roads that are too ferocious."

"I tried my best.." Kuniaki Kawada sneered loudly. You two did your best. It will also make Brigade Commander Shi suffer such a serious injury.. You two did your best. Why didn't you even touch a single hair on your body?"

That's a bit of a strong question. At that time the partisans were in the process of pulling backwards diagonally. Sudden turn. launched a final charge towards the puppet major general brigade commander Shi Lanbin. Among the nearly 1,000 puppet soldiers of the garrison brigade at that time. Only a very small number of people stand in the way of the eight-way horse. I had a face-to-face encounter with them. Most of the other puppet armies simply didn't have time to react. You can't even chase the enemy.

However. Someone has to be pulled out to take responsibility for the loss just now. Kawada Kuniaki was not qualified and did not dare to execute Shi Lanbin on the spot. The two unlucky leaders in front of them must pay for their "inaction". In the last short and intense encounter. Because Shi Lanbin and the two regiment commanders under his command were not able to deal with it. As a result, twenty-seven elite members of the Great Japanese Empire who were responsible for supervising the war were trampled to death by war horses. Furthermore. More than thirty Imperial soldiers were injured in various ways. The total human losses add up to more than sixty people. Far more than the corpses of the partisans who were left behind.

Of course. The casualties of the puppet army are even higher. The total number of battles in the last battle alone has exceeded a hundred. But in the eyes of Kawada Kuni, Showa and all the devil soldiers. These Imperial Army cannon fodder are just a bunch of meaningless numbers. If you die, you will recruit again. How can it be compared with the warriors of the Yamato nation...

"Wronged. wronged." Two unlucky ghost leaders mop the floor with their feet. Struggling desperately. I refuse to be dragged away by the devil soldiers." Eight Roads was moving too fast at the time. We. We didn't have time to react. Sato. Didn't Lieutenant Sato shoot either?"

Final Word. That's exactly the point. Kuniaki Kawada's old face turned red. The gaze of the two unlucky ghost leaders became more and more full of hatred.

Truly. The target of the guerrillas' attack just now suddenly changed in an instant. It's beyond the reflexes of everyone on their side. Including Kuniaki Kawada himself. The corresponding tactical adjustments made became an afterthought. It doesn't work at all.

But. The Imperial Japanese Army was slow to react. It's because the Imperial Japanese Army was infantry. No one is familiar with the characteristics and tempo of cavalry engagements. And your garrison brigade is a cavalry brigade that is like a fake. Why is the reaction speed slower than the infantry of the Great Japanese Empire.. Besides. What qualifications do you two little colonels have to compare with the lieutenants of the Imperial Japanese Army...

Come to think of it. Kuniaki Kawada couldn't bear it anymore." With a thud, he pulled the command knife out of his waist. Strode towards the two unlucky ghosts who were pretending to be dead dogs. Pseudo-colonel regimental commander Zhang Jinbao and Yang Yaozu. I'm going to cut off the heads of both of them and hang them in the car as an example. He didn't wait to get to the place. The surrounding puppet army "hulala" fell to his knees. While shouting "Taijun Kaien", he grabbed the ground with his head in unison. Ask Kawada Kuniaki to keep people under the knife. Give the two regimental commanders a chance. Let the two of them be guilty and make meritorious deeds.

"Hmm.." Kuniaki Kawada frowned. The knife that had been raised above his head could not fall immediately. He never thought about it. Two unlucky ghost leaders. is so popular in the garrison brigade. There are so many puppet armies. At the risk of being angered by yourself. Take the initiative to intercede for the two of them. The vast majority of them are also mid- and lower-ranking officers. Epaulettes shine brightly in the sun.

"Kawada-kun. They have an old Chinese saying. Called the rabbit was killed by the hunter. Foxes will cry too." Shiro Shirakawa, an operations staff officer, caught up from behind. Gently tugged at the sleeve of Kawada Kuniaki. Remind with a very small sound.

"Hmm." Kuniaki Kawada frowned. looked at his right-hand man with suspicious eyes. His face was gloomy as water.

"Kawada-kun is angry. The two of them performed a little worse though. But usually loyal to the empire. Kill it now. I'm afraid it's not good for our army's next move." Kodama also stepped forward at the last time. It's a good way to intercede for two unlucky guys." Brigade Commander Shi will definitely not be able to continue to command the garrison brigade to cooperate with the imperial army. The two commanders of their regiments were also subject to military law. Next. We're going to have to get new recruits out of the garrison. And the newcomer goes from being familiar with the troops to commanding operations. After all, it will take a little time."

"That's right." For Shiro Shirakawa and Jiro Kodama both have a common opinion. Kuniaki Kawada still has some to consider. Frowning and putting away the knife. At the same time, he asked in a low voice, "Then what do you say should be done with them. The Emperor ** team cannot indulge in this kind of passive coping under any circumstances."

"It is better to record their guilt first. After the Blackstone guerrillas have been eliminated. Offset the merits again. If they hadn't shown repentance at that time. No matter what we do. Presumably, no one in the garrison brigade could speak." Shirakawa Shiro smiled again. Respond lightly.

"Did you two hear me?" Kuniaaki Kawada kicked Zhang Jinbao with his toes. Ask loudly.

"I hear you. Heard it. Thank you for the grace of not killing. Thank you for your grace not to kill." The two pseudo-regiment leaders, Zhang Jinbao and Yang Yaozu, immediately pounced at the feet of Kawada Kuniaki. Cry.

"Untie them." Kuniaki Kawada glanced at the two of them in disgust. Move your body back slightly. Deep down. He's one hundred and twenty pugs who look down on this spineless pug. However, there are hundreds of pugs watching around. He also can't show his disgust too obviously.

"Hay." Some of the devil soldiers agreed. Bend down and go. Use a bayonet to break the ropes that bind the two unlucky eggs. The arms have just been restored to freedom. Zhang Jinbao and Yang Yaozu climbed forward a few steps together. A handful of snot and a handful of tears. Crying and saying, "Thank you. Thank you, sir, for not killing. The grace of not killing. Next. In the next day, he immediately led his troops to the Crescent Lake Market. Follow. Fight to the death against the guerrillas."

"Thank you, sir. Thank you, sir. Next. Willing to act as a striker under the will. Clearing the way for the Imperial Japanese Army. Open the road in the mountains. When it comes to water, build a bridge."

"Get out of here and stand." Kuniaki Kawada jumped away like a plague. The two pseudo-captains each flashed a bit." It's just the two of you. It's also worth fighting Redbeard to the death... It's to send free arms to the guerrillas. Or are you ready to run away halfway.. Honestly stand aside and wait for orders. What to do next. It's not the turn of the two of you to talk too much."

"Hey. Hey." The two pseudo-regimental commanders who had escaped death wiped their sweat and retreated to the side. No one dared to say half a word more. I finally escaped. It is necessary to make a statement to Kuniaki Kawada. But after the performance. You should know to hide yourself in the crowd as soon as possible. As for being the vanguard to hunt down Redbeard and Iruto Dragon. It's only when you've been kicked in the brain by a donkey that you really want to do that. Brigadier Shi was lying in the car. Idiots want to follow in his footsteps.

I don't care what the two pseudo-legion captains are fighting in their stomachs. Kuniaki Kawada quickly turned his attention to his own brain again. Operational Staff Officer Shirakawa Shiro." SHIRAKAWA-kun. Given the current situation. What do you think ......"

"I figured it out a little bit based on the actual situation. Specifically, it doesn't work. It's up to Kawada-kun to make the final decision." Shirakawa smiled modestly. Whisper in response." Because the garrison brigade is not in a good position to fight. The plan we originally made to encircle and annihilate the Blackstone guerrillas will definitely need to be adjusted to a certain extent. At present, the two main cavalry forces leading the guerrillas are missing. The Emperor ** team in order to gather the garrison brigade. Also delayed too long. Even get up now. Non-stop rush to the Crescent Lake Market. and so on to reach the destination. The traders and the guerrillas who stayed behind had long since fled. It's simply impossible to re-block them at the lake."

"Indeed." Kuniaki Kawada nodded regretfully. glanced at the truck that was treating Shi Lanbin again. A fierce light will appear in both eyes.

"After the completion of this operation. The garrison brigade is going to the Manchuria and Outer Mongolian borders to carry out combat missions against the Soviet Union." Shirakawa Shiro lowered his voice. Remind Kawada Kuniaki that he doesn't have to spend too much energy on a gang of cannon fodder who is about to die." And they just behaved. It's not for nothing either. At least. They do this through their own efforts. Already gave the partisan cavalry a certain blow. Just that kind of situation. It's absolutely impossible for it to happen a second time."

"Hmm.." Kuniaki Kawada was stunned. The fierce light in his eyes gradually turned into confusion.

"I just made a rough count," Shirakawa Shiro pulled out a small notebook and a pen from his pocket. While writing. while whispering analysis." From the partisan cavalry fought us for the first time. Until now. Forty-six of them have been sacrificed. Nine of them. The face bears a pronounced Belarusian national character. And according to the information we have found out in advance. There were only five squadrons of guerrilla fighters under Redbeard's command. Plus the more than 70 White Russian horse thieves he recruited last year. The total number of combatants was about two hundred and thirty. Of the more than 230 combatants. The qualified cavalry is about two-thirds."

"You mean. The redbearded cavalry is already at the end of their crossbows." Kuniaki Kawada's eyes lit up instantly. Staring at their own brains. Inquire out loud.

"Kawada-kun is really amazing." Shirakawa Shiro smiled and slapped his boss's ass. Continue analyzing." Let's say there are one hundred and fifty cavalry under Redbeard. Remove these forty-six war dead. There are still more than 100 left. And it is impossible for him to take all the cavalry to the bazaar to take on the guard......."

"You mean. Just now by the side of the cloud dragon. It's already all the cavalry that Redbeard can take out at the moment." Kuniaki Kawada was so excited that he almost jumped. Ask out loud. If that's the case. The loss just now is not entirely unacceptable. After all, the strategic intent of their own department has been realized. With the garrison brigade those insignificant waste . Replaced a third of the main partisan forces.

Sensei said that the exchange ratio with the guerrillas reached five to one. Even if you exchange ten puppet soldiers for one guerrilla cavalryman. Kuniaki Kawada also thinks that he has made a lot of money. Kodama Sueji and Shirakawa Shiro have similar views to him. They also automatically ignore the casualties of the puppet army.

"What does Staff Shirakawa mean. Up to now. The initiative is still in our hands."

"Indeed. The situation of this battle is developing. Not out of control yet."

The two were almost at the same time. Emphasize loudly. Bloodshot eyes. It's full of hideousness.

As the highest-ranking person in this army. Kuniaki Kawada still knows a little bit about what modesty is. Moaned for a moment. continued: "That's according to Shirakawa-kun's meaning. How do we adjust it? Continue to the market on the shore of Crescent Lake? Or find a way to trick the cavalry of the guerrillas and consume them."

"That market on the shore of Crescent Lake. There's no need to go again. After all the vendors have withdrawn. There's no way Redbeard can stay there and wait for us." Shirakawa shook his head slightly. Then sneered slightly. Let's change the goal. Go straight to Redbeard's lair."

"What .......?" Kuniaki Kawada's voice rose again. There was an unconcealable surprise in it.

"They Chinese have an old saying. If you run away, the monk can't run to the temple." The smile on Shirokawa's face. It's colder than iron in the winter." The guerrillas are over there. It is said that many simple workshops have been built. And the partisans who remained in the local area. The strength is not enough to protect so many industries. As long as we make a clear gesture, we will shovel it into a white ground. Before the local supporters withdrew. Redbeard and his soldiers had no choice but to rush back. Or continue to harass us as before. Either bring together with those left behind. Fight a positional battle with us. In addition to the above two coping strategies. I can't see. He has a third option."
