After Muto Akira and Okahara Toshisi led their troops back to Shanxian County, they immediately took a truck to Feicheng and sent Nanbatian back to Feicheng by the way.

At this time, Muto and Okahara were already sitting in Heiji Kawaguchi's office.

Heiji Kawaguchi smiled and said to the two: "Muto-san, Ojihara-san, you must be very confused and even very angry in your hearts, why don't I discuss it with you and just change the battle plan?" ”

"Hello." Muto Akira paused heavily and said honestly, "The lowly position is indeed very confusing. ”

Oshihara Junsi also said: "Although the Yucun detachment suffered major defeats at Dawan and Teapot Pass, and also lost some technical equipment, this does not mean that the battle plan formulated before has failed. ”

Kawaguchi Heiji shook his head, but he didn't argue with Muto Akira and Okahara Toshisi, because he knew very well that this plan was not so much a decision by Hamura Shuichi as it was drawn up by Muto Akira, the former deputy chief of staff of the front army, so Muto Akira was particularly unacceptable to Kawaguchi Heiji's change of course.

However, Heiji Kawaguchi was still confident of convincing the two.

With a slight slap of the hand, the office door was pushed open, and a military officer strode in.

If someone else succeeds him as the commander of the Hamura detachment, Yamagami Takeo will not be sent to a military court, and a whipping is absolutely inevitable, but Heiji Kawaguchi did not punish him.

Because in Kawaguchi Heiji's view, the defeat of Dawan and Teapot Pass was due to poor command and had nothing to do with the ordinary soldiers below.

"Your Excellency, Commander." After Takeo Yamagami walked in, he suddenly retracted his feet and stood upright, and then nodded heavily towards Kawaguchi.

"Muto-san, Okahara-san, this is the mountain commander of the 101st Wing of the Independent Cavalry." Kawaguchi Heiji first introduced Yamagami Takeo to Muto and Oshikawara, and then said to Yamagami Takeo, "Yamagami-san, tell Chief Muto and Chief Okawara about what happened in Owan that night." ”

"Hello." Takeshi on the mountain paused heavily, and said with a serious expression, "That night, when I led the cavalry team to the Dawan battlefield, I found that there was only one imperial soldier left on the entire battlefield, and around the battlefield, there were more than a dozen Zhina troops withdrawing from the Empress Cang. ”

"Muto-san, Okahara-san, pay attention to details!" Heiji Kawaguchi specially reminded the two, "When Yamagami-san arrived, the Chinese army did not clean the battlefield, you know, the Chinese army, especially the communist guerrillas, even the cotton clothes of the imperial army soldiers will not be easily let go, but in the Dawan battlefield, they did not clean the battlefield, which gave the imperial soldiers who arrived a false impression, the Chinese army retreated in a hurry, and the battle of Dawan had just ended. ”

Takeo Yamagami paused for a moment, then said: "After the retreat of the Shina army, I immediately asked the medic Iwata to treat the warrior of the Imperial Army who seemed to be injured, but unfortunately, he had already become delirious because of the impact on his brain, and no matter what I asked, he never responded, only repeating a sentence in his mouth. ”

Hearing this, Muto Akira couldn't help but ask, "What did he say?" ”

Takeo Yamagami replied suddenly, "What he said is, Xina, the people of China. ”

Heiji Kawaguchi lost no time in interjecting again: "It's still the details, a simple sentence of Nishina, the people of China, but the glorious image of a warrior of the imperial army who fought bloodily until the last moment of his life was vividly displayed, so that His Excellency Hamura was deceived, and finally caused an irreparable tragedy." ”

Takeo Yamagami continued: "After His Excellency Hamura arrived, he also personally came to offer condolences, but at this time, this guy suddenly shouted a slogan and charged towards the woods where the previous Shina army disappeared. ”

"It's still the details." Heiji Kawaguchi said, "Until this time, no one had realized that something was wrong, and everyone, including Hamura, took it for granted that this was just a mentally stimulated Imperial warrior, so no one thought of killing him, but just wanted to stop him." ”

But no one could stop him, and he went on a rampage and soon reached the side of the road. Yamagami continued, "It was only at this time that I felt that something was wrong, and I hurried after him and tried to stop him, however, it was too late, and the guy jumped into the ditch by the side of the road, and then had two more wires in his hand. ”

"Electrically activated bombs?" Muto Akira said awe-inspiringly, "This guy is a spy of the Chinese army?!" ”

"Yes, electric explosives!" Heiji Kawaguchi nodded, and said with a solemn expression, "The two Vickers chariots captured by the Chinese army were filled with grenades, shells, grenades, and explosives, and then removed the fuses of the shells to make an electric detonation device, according to the calculations of the engineers, the explosive yield of these two super bombs is about equivalent to 20 500-pound aerial bombs exploding at the same time, you can imagine, the power of the explosion, to be honest, the 101st Cavalry Wing and the Motorized Infantry Brigade present did not collectively shatter, I was a little surprised." ”

"20 500-pound bombs?!"

Muto Akira's expression suddenly turned grim when he heard this.

Kokahara Toshisi's facial muscles also twitched violently.

The equivalent of 20 500-pound aerial bombs exploded at the same time, no wonder it was able to severely damage the motorized infantry brigade of the Hamura detachment, and it is not surprising that Hamura Shuichi's jade shattered on the spot.

"The devil is in the details." Heiji Kawaguchi said, "Through the above analysis, it is not difficult for us to find that under the seemingly imaginative surface, the Shina Army actually hides an extreme demand for details, at least from this battle in Dawan, we have no way to find flaws in the details." ”

"It's him, it's him!" Xiaoluyuan Junsi said in a deep voice, "Your Excellency Commander, if I guess correctly, he should be the commander of the Dameishan Independent Regiment, Xu Rui!" ”

Heiji Kawaguchi said: "I didn't want to believe it before, or I couldn't believe it, because I couldn't understand it at all, as a senior commander, how could I charge on the most dangerous front line like a soldier? But now I believe it, that's right, this person is Xu Rui! This person's behavior cannot be speculated on by common sense at all. ”

"Xu Rui?" Muto Akira gritted his teeth and said, "This damned, cunning Shina man! ”

"Cunning?" Heiji Kawaguchi shook his head and said disapprerovingly, "No, Muto-san, you are wrong, this is not cunning, this is real great wisdom and great courage!" Although I am very reluctant to admit it, I must admit that Xu Rui's tactical command ability is extremely superb, and this person's ability to win consecutive battles in Wuxi, Baoxing, Nantong, and Hai'an is by no means a fluke. ”

Muto Zhang said: "According to the meaning of His Excellency the Commander, isn't Xu Rui invincible? ”

"Invincible? Not really. Kawaguchi Heiji shook his head and said, "Xu Rui actually has the same weakness. ”

"Oh, really?" Xiaoluyuan Junsi became interested and asked, "May I ask Your Excellency Commander, what is Xu Rui's weakness?" ”

Heiji Kawaguchi got up from the big chair, walked to the window, looked at the dark sky outside the window, and said thoughtfully: "Xu Rui's weakness, his only possible weakness is that his calculations are too accurate!" ”

"Accurate calculations?" Muto Akira was surprised, "This is an advantage, how can it be considered a weakness?" ”

Heiji Kawaguchi said: "Under normal circumstances, accurate calculations are indeed an advantage, but when a person, especially when this person is still a commander, when his calculations are so accurate that they are almost infallible, it becomes a weakness in turn, because the accuracy of his calculations countless times before will give him great self-confidence." ”

Kokahara Junsi's eyes flashed, thoughtful.

Muto Zhang didn't understand too much, frowned and asked, "What do you mean by what Your Excellency Commander said?" ”

Kawaguchi Heiji said: "I mean, Xu Rui's calculation ability is very strong, and he almost does not make mistakes, at least so far, he has not made mistakes, which makes him very confident in his judgment, which will inevitably lead to all the tactical arrangements of the Dameishan Independent Regiment based on Xu Rui's personal calculations and judgments." ”

Muto Zhang understood at this moment, and said in horror: "Your Excellency the commander means that we don't play cards according to common sense?" ”

"Yes, it doesn't make sense." Heiji Kawaguchi nodded happily and said, "Because Xu Rui's calculations are too accurate, if we act according to the convention, we will definitely fall into Xu Rui's calculations, no matter how cautious and cautious we are, we will inevitably repeat the mistakes of His Excellency Hamura, so we must do the opposite." ”

"The other way around?" Muto Akira said, "How do you do it?" ”

"Like our detachment." Heiji Kawaguchi said, "After the fiasco of Dawan and Teapot Pass, almost all the chariots and a large number of personnel and equipment were lost, and even His Excellency Hamura was martyred, under normal circumstances, it will take at least three days to reorganize and wait for the personnel and equipment to be replenished before re-entering the army." ”

Muto Akira and Okahara Toshisi subconsciously bowed their heads, didn't they have to be like this?

Heiji Kawaguchi changed his words and said in a deep voice: "However, I don't want to do this, I prefer to enter the army immediately under the premise that the new personnel and equipment have not been replenished!" Then, when the main force of our detachment arrives in Meizhen and gains a firm foothold, it is not too late to replenish personnel and equipment, which is called doing the opposite. ”

Muto Akira and Oshihara Toshisi glanced at each other, and their expressions were lifted.

Both of them secretly thought in their hearts, the reason why Heiji Kawaguchi was able to excel in the Battle of the Huai River, why he was able to be promoted to major general, and succeeded Shuichi Hamura as the commander of the independent detachment, it seems that it is not a fluke, at least the opposite of what he proposed, it is very surprising, and I believe Xu Rui will also be surprised.
