It wasn't until Miyata Jiro led the second infantry brigade to catch up that Ono Sixteen and Akita Otochi finally stopped pursuing, and in fact, there was no need to pursue anymore, because the small group of Chinese soldiers left behind in front had long been invisible, and so far all the Chinese soldiers were gone, as if they had never been here at all.

Jiro Miyata jumped out of the car and asked the adjutant to call Ono Sixteen and Akita Otoichi over.

Jiro Miyata actually knew the two of Ono Sixteen, which was also because the righteous and awe-inspiring words spoken by Ono Sixteen and Akita Otoichi that day impressed him too deeply.

These two are not necessarily brave, but they are definitely the smartest.

"Ono-san, Akita-san." Jiro Miyata asked in a deep voice, "What happened just now?" ”

Since the age of three, Ono Sixteen has followed his father to sell fish at the market in Osaka, so he naturally won't let go of this opportunity, and he immediately added fuel and vinegar to it.

Akita Otoichi adds from time to time.

"Captain, the Chinese army is too insidious."

"The Chinese army touched the sentry post on the west side and silently touched our camp."

"Akita-san and I are in charge of the east, so we don't know exactly when the Shina Army came in."

"When the first gunshot rang out, Akita-san and I immediately went into battle, and the two of us were able to withstand hundreds of Chinese troops with a simple fortification."

"Of course, more than a dozen comrades-in-arms joined us later."

"However, they all died in battle, and Akita-san and I were left to keep fighting."

"Yes, even if the main force of the brigade can't hold on and fled, the two of us are still fighting."

"Then, more and more of the soldiers gathered around us, and finally more than a thousand!"

"Yes, there are at least a thousand people, and just when we thought we were about to die for His Majesty the Emperor and for the Empire, Wing Commander, you arrived with a large army, and then the Chinese army retreated in a hurry."

"The two of us fought back decisively, but unfortunately there was no result."

"Yes, the Chinese army is running too fast, even faster than rabbits."

Ono Sixteen and Akita Otochi sang and harmonized, as if they praised themselves as battle heroes.

Miyata Jiro must admit that if what these two bastards said is true, it is enough to award the Golden Bird Medal of the seventh grade, and the major newspapers in the country are afraid that they will also report it repeatedly, but Miyata Jiro is very skeptical of the truth of what these two people said, when did the small traders in Osaka become so heroic?

"Are you telling the truth?" Jiro Miyata asked suspiciously.

"Captain, what we say is true." Ono Sixteen said, "I don't believe you asked our comrades in the same squad. ”

Oh, Ono Sixteen then said: "I'm really sorry, Captain, our team of more than 50 people from the squad leader to the team leader has been collectively shattered, and there are only the two of us left." ”

Miyata Jiro didn't know that there were actually several others in the infantry squad where Ono Sixteen and the two were only seriously injured and did not die, but unfortunately, because they knew the details of Ono Sixteen and Akita Otoichi's dereliction of duty, they were stabbed to death by Ono Sixteen and the two of them with bayonets.

Anyway, the Chinese soldiers also use the 38-style military spur, so Ono Sixteen and the two are also fearless.

With no other proof, Miyata Jiro could only believe Ono Sixteen and the two of them for the time being, and said, "In view of the heroic performance of the two of you in tonight's battle, I will ask the Command of the Dispatch Force for a commendation." ”

"Hello, thank you, Captain." Ono Sixteen and Akita Otochi were overjoyed when they heard this.

Ono Sixteen and Akita Otoichi can't help but be happy, because once the commendation is implemented, it means that the two of them have a great chance of being promoted, and now they are already senior soldiers, and if they are promoted to one level, they will be the captains, and they belong to the non-commissioned officers, although the promotion of non-commissioned officers does not fundamentally change the sinister environment they are in, but at least there is room for operation.

Because Ono Sixteen and Akita Otoichi's families are very wealthy, as long as they are promoted to non-commissioned officers, the family has a way to influence the War Department through the Chamber of Commerce, and transfer them back to the War Department to serve in idle positions, such as being a guard non-commissioned officer.

Jiro Miyata snorted and asked again, "By the way, what about your deputy captain?" ”

Miyata Jiro doesn't care about the life or death of Kawai Kanta, Kawai Kanta is just a farmer's child, and he hasn't gone to army university, and he belongs to the members of the Heavenless Group who are ridiculed, so Miyata Jiro doesn't care about his life or death, not to mention, this time the first infantry brigade was almost completely annihilated, even if Kawai Kanta survived, he had to apologize, so it was better to die more simply, he could directly get the title of martyr, and his family could also receive a pension.

But Deputy Captain Shigeichi Nishio is different.

Nishio Shigeichi not only went to the Army University, but also had excellent grades and belonged to one of the six people who were received by the emperor, and more importantly, Nishio Shigeichi's father was Nishio Shouzo, the commander of the Central China Army, and the top boss of his top boss Miyata Jiro.

It doesn't matter if Kanta Kawai is dead, it's terrible if Shigei Nishio dies!

But some things are like that, the more you are afraid of something, the more you will come.

"Co-Captain." Ono Sixteen lowered his head and said with a sad expression, "Our deputy captain has broken jade. ”

"Nani?" Miyata Jiro's eyes suddenly went black when he heard this, and he almost fainted on the spot, it's over, this time it's over, Miyata Jiro let out a wail in his heart.

(Dividing Line)

Nanjing, Fanghua Garden.

Tonight's Fanghua Garden is destined to be another sleepless night.

Not because of the slow movement of the Osaka Division, but because of the rapid progress of the Kumamoto Division.

From the beginning of the march in the evening of the day before yesterday, up to now, the Kumamoto division has advanced nearly 200 more than 200 in the direction of Dameishan, and even taken Shanxian County, according to the plan of the riverside Zhengsan, as long as the Kumamoto division advances another 50 miles, it can reach the bottom of the Qingniu Ridge in the west of Dameishan, and then it can set fire to the mountain.

Despite its exhaustion, the Kumamoto Division did not stop moving forward and continued to move forward.

Obviously, Naosaburo Okabe understands Kawabe Shozo's extremely anxious mood at this time.

At this time, the mood of the riverside Zhengsan was indeed very eager, and he couldn't wait to fly to Qingniuling.

As the commander of the Central China Dispatch Army, Nishio Shouzo also had a rare stay up tonight with Chief of Staff Shozo Kawabe, staying in the war room all night, waiting for the Kumamoto Division's good news from the front.

However, I waited until more than four o'clock in the morning, but I was waiting for bad news.

The forward of the Kumamoto Division, the 3rd Infantry Brigade of the 13th Infantry Wing, was ambushed near Daping Town at the western foot of Dameishan Mountain because of the light enemy's rash advance, although Nakano Hidemitsu soon led the main force of the 13th Infantry Wing to arrive, but the 3rd Infantry Brigade of the Dameishan Independent Regiment was still disabled.

In less than half an hour, the third brigade was disabled by the Dameishan Independent Regiment.

"Your Excellency Chief of Staff, it seems that it is necessary for us to reassess the combat effectiveness of the Dameishan Independent Regiment." Jun Nakamura, who had just returned to Nanjing from Feicheng, said.

Before, Kawabe Shozo sent Nakamura Jun to Hishiro to supervise the battle, because Kawabe Shozo was worried that the Kumamoto Division would lose the chain at a critical moment, but now, the Kumamoto Division is so active and behaves much more reliable than the Osaka Division, and Nakamura Jun has no need to stay in the Kumamoto Division, so Kawabe Shozo recalled him to the headquarters.

"Re-evaluation?" The pair of thick eyebrows of Shozo by the river immediately frowned.

How could Shozo Riverbe not hear the meaning of Nakamura Jun's words? To re-evaluate is to cancel the plan!

"Hello!" Nakamura Jun paused, and then continued, "In the first battle of Erguniangpo in the early hours of yesterday morning, the Dameishan Independent Regiment with the strength of a battalion, but it simply blocked a wing of the imperial army for nearly four hours, and also caused more than 1,000 people of the imperial army to die. ”

After a pause, Nakamura Jun continued: "Just now, the 3rd Brigade of the 13th Infantry Wing was severely damaged by the Dameishan Independent Regiment in Daping Town, which further confirms this judgment. ”

Nakamura Jun's heart is very complicated now, on the one hand, he has to face the reality and must provide information to Xu Rui, but on the other hand, he is really unwilling to cause heavy losses to the Japanese army because of the information he provides, that is, for Nakamura Jun, the cancellation of the sweep and the strike of both sides are the most ideal result.

It's just that Kawabe Shozo obviously won't give up like this.

is still the same sentence, everyone has a way out, but Hebian Zhengsan does not.

At that moment, Kawabe Shozo shook his head and said, "The defeat in a small battle is not enough to explain anything, and I still firmly believe that the Imperial Army can win this sweeping operation." ”

At this time, Nishio Shouzo, who had not spoken, suddenly sighed softly and said to Kawabe Shozo, "Kawabe-san, let's re-evaluate the previous sweeping plan." ”

"Your Excellency, General?" Kawabe Shozo looked up and looked at Nishio Shouzo with a miserable expression.

Kawabe Shozo didn't expect that Nishio Shouzo would suddenly change his hexagram at this time.

If he loses the support of Nishio Shouzo, Shozo Kawabe will immediately become unable to move an inch.

Nishio didn't say anything, just took out a telegram from his pocket and handed it over.

Kawabe Shozo took the telegram, and after just one glance, the look on his face immediately turned to ashes.

Nakamura Jun couldn't help but be curious, and leaned over from behind the riverside to take a peek, but found that this telegram was actually a telegram from the base camp, and the content of the telegram was only one, asking Central China to send a dispatch army to immediately stop the sweep of Dameishan Mountain, wait for the base camp to adjust its deployment, mobilize more combat troops, and then start a sweep of Dameishan.
