Taiyuan, in the conference room of the 5th Division.

The commander of the division, Itatsune Seisishiro, smoked a cigarette and sat at the long table looking at an order coming from the base camp.

There were many generals sitting on the left and right sides of the long table, and their military ranks were between Major General and Dazuo.

"The empire is going to attack Wuhan soon, and now their order to us is to be on standby at any time and prepare to go to Wuhan." Itatsuko Seishiro spoke.

"Well, the base camp believes that capturing Wuhan and controlling the key areas of the Central Plains will be the best opportunity to pressure the Huaxia government to surrender and end the war." The first major general on the left spoke.

"That's right, after taking Wuhan, the Huaxia government should understand that the strength of the empire is not something they can contend with, and at that time, choosing to surrender is the only chance." A major general on the right also spoke.

"However, although the base camp is for us to be on standby at all times, I feel that we may not necessarily be sent there.

After all, Shanxi is also very important, and the empire has already stationed more than 300,000 troops there, and it should not be a problem to capture Wuhan. A big Zuo said.

With the strength of their empire, more than 300,000 is enough to confront more than a million soldiers in Huaxia.

"So, we should just be on standby, and we won't necessarily go over, but, the base camp said, we want to stay put,

Therefore, let the other troops in Shanxi give me some peace, and don't think about sweeping or anything like that. Itako Seishiro said.

"Hey!"

The generals nodded.

"Alright, it's going to be here, let's disband." Itako Seishiro waved his hand and told them to retreat.

But Matsushiro didn't leave, but sat firmly in his seat.

"Matsushita-kun, are you okay?" Itachi Seishiro wondered.

"Division commander, in this case, the bandits over there in Qingyang County, do I still want them to suppress the bandits?" Matsushiro said.

He had already reported the situation to the division commander.

"Well, judging from the intelligence over there, there are only two or three hundred people in Lianyun Mountain, although there is a bit of strength, but there is nothing to worry about, the key is that they mentioned that there are eight roads,

Now is a critical period, let the defenders of Qingyang County settle down, bandits or something, and wait for the empire to defeat Wuhan. Itako Seishiro said.

He didn't want to have a problem at this juncture, if the defenders of Qingyang County were accidentally ambushed by the Eighth Route when they were suppressing bandits, resulting in heavy losses, it would be troublesome, and if it wasn't good, his head would not be protected.

"Hey! I'm going to send them a telegram. Matsushiro said and left the conference room.

………

Qingyang County, in the command building of the central barracks.

Fujii sat in his office, flipping through documents about the prefecture.

Kawasawa Nokei and Ida-kun were standing on the sidelines.

After a long time, Fujii Xichuan stopped reading and said slowly: "Okay, now that the county is in the county, I already know about it.

Now it's time to talk about how to deal with the bandits in Lianyun Mountain, how many people do you think should be sent to deal with the bandits in Lianyun Mountain? ”

Lian Yunshan killed so many soldiers in the empire, and it was impossible for him not to take revenge for this revenge.

"This, I think, at least more than 1,500 people must be sent." Kawasawa said.

"Oh? Do you think that it is necessary to send so many people to deal with the bandits of two or three hundred people in Lianyun Mountain? Fujii said.

"Captain, before I, ah no, Ono-kun sent troops without permission before, and brought eight hundred soldiers to go, but they were all exterminated by the bandits of Lianyun Mountain,

Of course, there is a shadow of the Eight Roads behind this, so I think it is reliable to send more than 1,500 people, and even 2,000 people need to be sent over. Kawasawa said.

He almost slipped his mouth just now.

And after Fujii Xichuan looked at Kawasawa Yejing twice, he also knew that Ono-kun might not have sent troops without authorization, but was sent out by Kawasawa Yejing.

It's just that Ono-kun was a little unlucky and was killed by Yachilu, so he became the scapegoat of Kawasawa Yejing.

"Well, you have a point." Fujii Xichuan nodded, looked at Ida-kun again, and said, "Ida-kun, what do you think?" ”

"Captain, I think that sending troops directly into the mountains to suppress bandits is actually not very reliable." Ida said.

"Huh? Why? Fujii asked.

"Wing Captain, Lian Yunshan's position is very special, once the situation is not right, they can hide in the mountains at any time, or even escape, we want to encircle and suppress them, it is as difficult as the sky." Ida said.

"Then you mean, the matter of encircling and suppressing Lianyun Mountain is just settled?" Fujii Shikawa said.

"It's impossible to just forget it, if there is a chance, we must indeed destroy them, otherwise, where will we put the face of our empire?" Ida said.

They smashed more than 3,000 soldiers in Lianyun Mountain, and if they counted it, the bandits in Lianyun Mountain thought they were afraid.

"So what exactly are you trying to say? Encirclement and suppression can't be encircled and suppressed, so how can we eliminate them? "Fujii Xichuan is a little upset.

"Captain, the key is that the bandits in Lianyun Mountain are too capable of running, unless we can force them out,

Fight us head-on, otherwise, we're basically just waiting for them to come to us. Ida said.

"Aren't you talking nonsense? If they dared to fight us head-on, you would have been able to destroy them long ago, so why do you need me to come here? Fujii said.

From the several encounters between Kawasawa Yejing and the bandits of Lianyun Mountain, he also saw that the bandits of Lianyun Mountain are not fuel-efficient lamps.

"I heard that the Chinese people in the county town have been praising the bandits in Lianyun Mountain recently, why don't we catch some Chinese people who threaten the bandits in Lianyun Mountain?" Ida said.

"I thought you were pretty smart just now, but why are you stupid in the blink of an eye." Fujii Xichuan shook his head when he heard this, and said, "Do you think the bandits will be captured for the sake of these Chinese people?" Unless they have a sick brain. ”

"Maybe that's right." Jing Tianjun said: "So many people are praising the bandits of Lianyun Mountain, they can't all be fake." ”

He thinks that maybe the bandits in Lianyun Mountain are really like these Chinese people say, they don't bully the people, and they love these people more?

"Rumors are not credible." Fujii Xichuan shook his head and said, "If we arrest the Chinese people, and the bandits in Lianyun Mountain don't appear, do we still have to kill those Chinese people?"

You must know that Qingyang County has been in business for a long time, once we kill those Chinese people, once we cause panic, the people in the city will definitely flee Qingyang County.

How much money will be lost then? The loss of the empire, you can't make up for it? ”

The Chamber of Commerce has already made a lot of money in the county, and now, the most important thing is to make more money and then ship it back to the empire.
