"Your Excellency, General, no!"

Chief of Staff Akasaka Saizumi hurriedly stopped the reckless move of the brigade commander Kanyu to lead the charge.

"Yaga! Akasaka-kun, what do you mean by this? ”

"Your Excellency General, now that the overall situation has been decided, rushing over now is really no different from sending us to death, and you are the general of Great Japan, how can you die at the hands of this group of humble Shina people?"

"Akasaka-kun, listen to what you mean, are you afraid of death?"

"Your Excellency General, as a member of the Imperial Army of Japan, since you have set foot on the land of China, you have never thought of going back alive, if you can dedicate yourself to the expansion of the territory of Japan, it is the highest honor of your humble position!

It's just that it doesn't matter if you die, Your Excellency General, you can't break the jade!

The 14th Division still needs you, the Imperial Japanese Army still needs you, and the Japanese Empire still needs you! ”

"Hey! ——”

The pavilion chief sighed, and then said helplessly: "How can mine not know that rushing up now is no different from sending him to death?" But now can we go back? Can I go back? ”

Guan Yu finally opened up and expressed his inner worries.

The crowd was silent, for they knew it all.

After a while, Akasaka Saizumi seemed to think of something, and spoke again: "Your Excellency, General, you are not afraid of death, and we are not afraid of death, but we can't die now!" ”

Guanyu didn't answer, but looked at Akasaka Zuizumi fixedly.

"Because if we all die here, then no one will know that there is such a powerful secret army hidden in China, and we must go back alive and report this matter to the division headquarters and the military headquarters.

Otherwise, if the Imperial Japanese Army encounters this army without any preparation, we will be responsible for our death! ”

"Your Excellency Chief of Staff is right, we must report this information!"

"Yes, Your Excellency, General!"

“……”

A group of little devil officers echoed it.

Seeing that the brigade commander Guan Yu was still silent, Akasaka Zuoquan spoke up again: "Your Excellency General, even if you go back, you will definitely not be punished by the military department." ”

"What do you mean?"

Akasaka Zuoquan's words finally poked at the weakness of the pavilion and made his reaction change dramatically.

"Your Excellency, General, with your relationship with Your Excellency the Division Commander, after you return, he will definitely protect you; Moreover, we can also report the results as much as possible, saying that we were about to take Suxian, but at this moment, we suddenly encountered a surprise attack by a large army of China, and there was a particularly powerful secret force......"

"Yaga! Akasaka Izumi, do you want me to lie about the military situation? ”

Pavilion Yu sharply interrupted Akasaka Saquan's words.

"Your Excellency, I'm doing this for your own good; Moreover, even if we panic, the military department will definitely believe it, otherwise if we are defeated by a branch army that is smaller than us, the military department will not be suspicious! ”

Akasaka Sazumi was hoarse and sincere.

The pavilion bowed his head and fell silent, not knowing what he was thinking.

"Your Excellency General, the war over there is about to end, we don't have time, let's make a decision quickly!"

Akasaka Saizumi urged again.

"Hmm!"

Finally, as if making some kind of difficult decision, Guan Yu nodded heavily, gritted his teeth, and said: "Yes, in order to report the information that China has a secret army to the military department, ours can't die here!" ”

"Hay!"

The little devil officers all nodded heavily in relief.

"Your Excellency, General, I suggest that we go in directly, and send two more people to inform the artillery brigade and Ishiguro-kun to evacuate!"

"Yo Xi, just do what you want!"

Guanyu nodded in agreement with Chief of Staff Akasaka Saizumi.

Under the leadership of the brigade commander Guan Yu, the little devils took advantage of the night and slowly walked in the direction away from Yongcheng.

……

"Have you found a high-ranking officer with little devils?"

After the battle, Yang Yun asked Zhang Jinpeng, the commander of the second battalion who was in charge of tapping the battlefield.

"Just kill one Japanese junior officer, and the rest are all lieutenants!"

Zhang Jinpeng frowned and went back.

"! Let this dog's hall run away! There is also the co-captain of the second wing, Ishiguro Sadazo, who actually ran away.

A young officer, at most, is a captain! ”

Yang Yun scolded hatefully.

"The artillery company and the baggage company help the medical team to treat the wounded together, and the second and third battalions will follow me!"

With a wave of his hand, Yang Yun led the officers and soldiers of the second and third battalions who could still move to the outside of the city wall along the gap in the city wall.

It is said that there are two battalions, but in fact, the total number of people is worth more than 100 people, and it is not even as many as the people of a company.

But there was no way, the 27th Brigade of the Japanese Army suffered heavy losses in this battle, and their new regiment was not the same.

Originally, the second and third battalions were less than full, and the total number of people together was less than 450, and more than half of the casualties were in the previous siege battles, and the casualties were less than half in the white-knuckle battles.

Up to now, it is very rare that there are still a hundred or so brothers with combat effectiveness.

If it weren't for Yang Yun who had anticipated all this and prepared to deal with it in advance, he was afraid that the new regiment would have been wiped out in this battle, not to mention that there were so many people, and even victory was an extravagant hope.

"Yunfei, Ronghui, Ma Gong, and Sun Li, how is the situation over there?"

Seeing the four of them drooping their heads, Yang Yun couldn't help frowning.

"Report to the group, we failed to successfully complete the task you assigned, and let the little devil run away!"

Chief of Staff Yang Ronghui said with a look of shame.

"Huh!"

Yang Yun smiled faintly, patted Yang Ronghui's shoulder, and continued: "Actually, it's all because of my misplan, which almost wiped out the brothers of the third battalion; And it is precisely because of your involvement outside the city that we can repel the little devils and successfully win this battle.

In addition, not to mention that you only have this number of people, even if the number of people is equal to the little devils, we are not the opponents of the little devils in a head-on encounter, so we can't completely annihilate the little devils, and we can't blame you at all.

It's just a pity that the commander of the 27th brigade of the Japanese army, Guan Yu, and the commander of the second wing, Ishiguro Sadazo, were released.

But it doesn't matter, this defeat, I'm afraid they won't have a chance to go to the battlefield again, and it's good to survive smoothly. ”

After that, Yang Yun patted the shoulders of Hu Yunfei, the commander of the first battalion, the commander of the reconnaissance company, and Sun Li, the commander of the artillery company.

As he said, in fact, he didn't think at all about letting the first battalion and the reconnaissance company leave all the little devils here.

Because there is no such strength at all, if you come hard, not only will it be difficult to succeed, but it will also be self-defeating, and you will be beaten by a little devil and suffer heavy losses.

For the current new regiment, unless it is a last resort, the most important thing is to preserve strength.
