|.| Chapter 8: The Opportunity (5 Below)

"It's not like you want to take credit. I have to shout about what happened on the Eight Roads so that the whole world knows." Under the cover of night. The junior officers pouted quietly. Now this plan is to use decisive bullets to destroy the guerrillas. Junji Fujita didn't get angry with any of them beforehand. So the crowd doesn't think it's a failure. What can it do with yourself?

Although I can't see the expressions of these junior officers under my command clearly. Junji Fujita was very sensitive to the fact that everyone was not moved by his words. Thought about it. Raised the sound a few points. Solemnly warned: "You should know. The current fighting of the empire in the Wuhan area. It didn't go well. In a short period of time. There is certainly no possibility of mobilizing troops to consolidate the occupied territories. If I wait for this operation to fail. The next enemy to face alone. I'm afraid it's not just Redbeard. Horse thieves, White Russians, and even the Mongol nobles who had already decided to cooperate with the Empire. may change positions." (Note 1)

"Bastard."" Damn."" Who dares to make trouble. Kill them all." Everyone, you and I will say a word. Chaos is shouting. The sound is loud though. But there's still not much passion in it.

And it's no wonder that their will to fight is low. The steppe is so poor. Those who were sent to fight in the south. How much can you still pass the war. Make a windfall or two. Send it home. Let the wives and children in China buy a few catties of meat to improve their lives. And they are also the backbone of the grassroots. On this barren land at your feet. But I can't get any extra money. The local Mongolian herders and Han farmers were too poor. I can't even turn over a clean piece of clothing at home. It is simply impossible to be scraped out of any oil and water. And the rich and powerful Mongol aristocracy . It's the Empire's best target. Instead of them, these junior officers were strictly forbidden to go to each other's homes for extortion. Even a soil emperor like Junji Fujita. They did not dare to ask the Mongol nobles for filial piety. In case of an inadvertent "popular uprising", the Kwantung Army command definitely does not mind using dozens of its own heads. to appease the anger of all the Mongol nobles.(Note 2)

I waited for a while. Junji Fujita only heard a lot of useless curses. Exactly how to get out of the current embarrassing situation. But no one would take the lead in giving him advice. In desperation. He had no choice but to take the initiative. Wild dog-like gazes searched the group of dark shadows. In the end, it landed on the head of Takaaki Sakai." Sakai-kun. You are experienced. What are your good ideas.."

"I ......." didn't expect that he would suddenly become a sweet and sweet spot in the eyes of his boss. Takaaki Sakai was very adaptable for a while. Pondering again and again. Only then did he reply stubbornly: "Report to the chief. I privately thought that the main purpose of the enemy was to harass us. So that everyone has no strength to hurry. And there is no strength. They don't have the strength to defeat us completely."

"Nonsense." The grassroots devil officers pouted one after another. Judging by the intensity of the gunfire just now. Snipers lurking across the river. At most, I brought five or six companions to help. Defeat half a squadron of the Great Japanese Imperial Army with half a squad of mid-class **. Guys who write about gods and monsters don't dare to write like that. Of course, it will not be set as a combat target in the real world.

It's nonsense though. But he finally responded to Junji Fujita's mobilization. The latter nodded slightly. Commanded with a hint of encouragement." You go on to say. Why are they pestering our army .. What is the best way to catch them. Avenge the soldiers who died tonight.. If I give you two squads. Can you get rid of them?"

"This. This ......." Takaaki Sakai blinked with small triangular eyes. My heart is full of bitterness. The reason why he was sent to the steppe from the Kwantung Army. It's because of timidity and poor combat skills. When you encounter lip service, you can still fill it up indiscriminately. If you really lead troops to fight. In the blink of an eye, you will sell your old bottom cleanly.

"How. Sakai-kun doesn't want to cherish this opportunity to express his abilities?" It's as if they identified each other today. Junji Fujita asked, and his voice was full of threat.

"It's not. No. Don't get me wrong, sir." Takaaki Sakai was so frightened that he waved his hand again and again. While wagging his tail and begging for mercy. While his mind was racing to think of a way to get out." Sakai is not unsure of the opportunity given by the chief. Sakai is afraid of delays. Delayed the commander's crusade against the guerrillas. Sakai thinks privately. The tighter the enemy is entangled. The more it is explained, the more correct the strategy of the chief against the Lama ditch side. They. They ....."

Suddenly there was a flash of inspiration in front of me. Takaaki Sakai made a judgment that shocked everyone." Guerrillas.**The guerrillas must have some trouble on their side. That's why the sniper bit us like crazy and didn't let go. That's it. The reason why he doesn't rest day and night. It's because he's afraid. I'm afraid that we will rush to the battlefield of Lamagou in time. Together with friendly forces, the guerrillas will be wiped out in one fell swoop."

This is probably the most beautiful word that Junji Fujita has heard tonight. He couldn't help but smile. Thought about it. Continue to ask with a bit of anticipation. Then you say. What the hell are we going to do. Why don't you just let the enemy snipers continue to shoot black guns?"

"Of course. Of course not." Now that the first kick has been approved by the boss. Takaaki Sakai immediately followed the original train of thought and carried out a large expansion." Humble privately thinks. Pressing matter. It's about prioritizing. Our main goal this time is to defeat the communist guerrillas. And not to catch the snipers of the Kuomintang . So no matter how harassed that sniper is. We all have to rush to the battlefield of Lamagou as soon as possible. Just in case the guerrillas get the news. Run for your life early."

"Hmm." Although the answer and the question are already dozens of miles away. Junji Fujita nodded with satisfaction.

Encouraged by him. Sakai Takaaki's thinking is getting clearer and clearer." Second. There is already a fire on the other side of the river. Even if you are lucky enough not to be burned to death by the fire. There's no way that sniper can continue to harass our troops from the same direction tonight. As long as our army is on guard in the other three directions. It's hard for him to find another chance to shoot cold."

"That's right."" I didn't think about it just now."" Before dawn. I guess I'll be able to sleep well for a while." The devil officers nodded their heads. Looking at Sakai Takaaki's eyes, the taste of disdain suddenly weakened a lot. Same point of view. In fact, everyone can think of it. But no one thought so quickly as Sakai Takaaki. It's so veined. Almost one after the other. Linked from beginning to end. It doesn't sound far-fetched.

Second Lieutenant Hatoyama is passing by with a few men. Hear Sakai Takaaki's words. Unwilling to be robbed of the limelight. Can't help but stop. Asked loudly, "Sakai-kun said it easily. There really won't be much danger tonight. But what about tomorrow. Tomorrow during the day. What are we going to do with that sniper? To know. In those few minutes. He broke four tires. It also caused casualties to nearly a small detachment of our troops."

"yes. What to do after dawn.." The little excitement that had just swelled up in the hearts of the devil officers. was swept away by the words of Second Lieutenant Hatoyama. There are so many hiding places in four places. The enemy snipers' riding and marksmanship are so good. Even if he took a shot every time and rode away. Tossing and turning for more than a dozen hours. It can also cause casualties close to a small detachment. At that time. The brothers who are still alive are not demoralized by him. will also be tossed by him so that he no longer has the strength to hurry.

"After dawn. After dawn...... "Takaaki Sakai glared at Second Lieutenant Hatoyama fiercely. I can't wait to secretly collude with Zhang Songling. Shoot the person in the head. But before contacting Zhang Songling. He must first address the other person's question. So as not to build a positive impression in Junji Fujita's heart. It's a piece of shit again.

"After dawn, it will be more beneficial to our army." Swallowed hard and frothed. Takaaki Sakai used the strength of the milk to come up with an idea." The reason why he was attacked by him during the day. It's because our army didn't do anything to prevent it. And once the purpose of the person is understood. Our army can make targeted deployments. Fix the car and keep it in the middle of the line. Don't let him continue to find opportunities to destroy. Then divide all the cavalry into four teams. At a distance of twenty and fifty meters on both sides of the car. Layered arrangement. While walking. While searching for suspicious targets around. In case of a sneak attack. Immediately, the two teams directly outflanked the past. Never give him a chance to jump on his horse and escape."

Do so. The cross-section of the team will become very wide. In case of an attack by a large force of enemy cavalry. It can be washed away in an instant. Do so. It will also slow down the team's progress a lot. Makes the team reach the battlefield time. Once again it was seriously postponed. But there is a huge benefit to doing so. That is. It's enough to guarantee that the murderous sniper will never have a chance to shoot the car and Junji Fujita himself again. And most likely. When he launches his next sneak attack. Capture him alive on the spot.

The enemy has only one guerrilla detachment. At the moment, he is being dragged in the lama ditch by horse thieves. Of course, it is impossible to ambush the army halfway. Kill the Imperial Japanese Army by surprise. The horse thieves are all hired. The arrival time of the Imperial Japanese Army on the battlefield was a little later than a day and a half. They must not dare to complain about anything. Besides, if you can fight with the guerrillas, you will lose both. Wouldn't it save the Imperial Japanese Army from drawing troops to recruit them in the future? Something that is good for both the left and right. And why not?

I made a slight trade-off in my mind. Junji Fujita intends to accept Takaaki Sakai's proposal in its entirety. Stand up. He patted the latter on the shoulder. smiled and said, "Your solution is very good. I will think about it carefully. If you can successfully exterminate the ** guerrillas. I will focus on reporting your performance to the Kwantung Army Command."

"Thank you, sir." Takaaki Sakai is again a deep bow. Flattered. Heart. But quietly began to mutter." The guy surnamed Zhang wouldn't be stupid enough to know that my side was well prepared. I'm going to rush over and continue to wreak havoc. That's a shame for him. Hi. Chinese inside. There are too many fools who don't want to die. Hopefully he won't be one of them. Hopefully."

Note 1: The Battle of Wuhan lasted for more than four months. Although it ended with the National Revolutionary Army abandoning Great Wuhan. But the Japanese army was short of troops. Weakness of follow-up weakness. It was also fully exposed. For a protracted war of resistance in the future. It provides sufficient evidence.

Note 2: The second year of the full-scale war of aggression against China. That is, in 1938. Devil's battlefield expenses. has exceeded its gross national income. So the standard of living of ordinary people in the country has plummeted. Many families don't even have enough to eat. Not to mention meat.
