CHAPTER XXXIII

If this continues, the soldiers of the Great Japanese Empire will probably not be able to hold out any longer. Hirata looked feebly at most of his devastated compatriots.

"Your Excellency, reinforcements are still 10 minutes away." A signal corpsman of the 29th Wing reported to Daisa Hirata, who was in a bad mood.

"Really? Yo West. Haha, these are saved. Hearing this news, which seemed to be a lifesaver, Osa himself was so happy that he wanted to hug this signal soldier and kiss him.

"Combat staff officer Kotani-kun." Dazuo calmed down the excitement in his chest, turned his head and shouted to the combat staff officer beside him.

"Hello, Your Excellency, Wing Commander." The combat staff officer who was called trotted to Hirata's Dasa and replied respectfully.

"Ahem, order: The 1st and 2nd Battalions are to act as decoys to attract enemy fire, the 3rd and 4th Battalions are ready to respond, and the 5th Brigade is on standby as a reserve for instructions." The wing commander's face became a little flushed due to his cough due to his excitement, and Shotani Joichi, who was the combat staff officer, recorded the orders given by Osa himself in the combat execution book.

"Also, let those stingy artillerymen make a big splash for our troops, and don't be afraid of the consumption of ammunition. Tell them that reinforcements will be coming soon, and there will be several Type 38 150mm howitzers inside. Be sure to tell them in all seriousness not to let the enemy see even the slightest flaw. Otherwise, the court-martials are dead, dead! Da Zuo added a little, only to see Xiao Tani's hand slashing over the notebook at a very fast speed.

"Hai, I will definitely convey your orders to the various troops." As soon as Kotani gave a military salute, he turned around and walked out of the bunker of the wing headquarters.

'Hmph, you abominable Chinese, wait and see. The Empire of Japan is destined to step on your filthy and filthy bodies and embark on the path of domination over the nations of the world. His Majesty the Emperor's plan must not be stopped by you ants. Your things are meant to be ours, including your women! An evil smile appeared on the corner of Daisa's mouth, who was using the artillery mirror at the observation port of the bunker.

"Nani, is Your Excellency the Wing Captain crazy?" The captain of the first brigade expressed his incomprehension. The captain of the first brigade had to curse in his heart: 'Bastard, why should we send the first brigade to death. Every mission is the dry and wet work of our first and second brigades, and every time it is exhausting and tiring. The benefits are yours. Why! ’

"It is true that our enemies are too tall and have great strength, not to mention rifles with bursts and powerful chariots of steel. His Excellency the Wing Commander also asked us to be bait, isn't this a sheep into the tiger's mouth? The captain of the second brigade said that he couldn't do it, so he almost said bluntly that some idiot told them to be cannon fodder.

"Heck, our Third Brigade thinks His Excellency Wing Commander's order is correct. Therefore, we are resolute in carrying it out. "The captain of the third brigade was happy to die, and it was not he who was sent to death who was the unlucky bastard of the first two brigades.

"Our Fourth Brigade reconsiders." The captain of the fourth brigade has a tacit understanding to follow the third brigade closely.

"We don't have any opinion from the Fifth Brigade." The captain of the fifth brigade, who was in reserve, said that he was just here to make soy sauce.

"I propose that Your Excellency, captains, conduct a lottery to determine who will be the bait." Staff Officer Kotani felt that he was just a captain, and that the officers here were all lieutenant colonels and captains who had mastered the actual troops. In terms of military rank, he can only be ranked last and has no real power. You can't be offended even if you count it, there is only the ancient and effective method of drawing lots.

"Yo Xi, great idea." The captains tacitly agreed.

'The third and fourth brigades will be bait, and the third and fourth brigades will ......' The captain of the first brigade drew a lot from the hand of Staff Officer Kotani, and this guy kept talking in his heart to make himself unpleasant to be cannon fodder.

"I hope it's not my own team, I hope it's not my ......own team," the captain of the second brigade also drew a lot, and kept praying in his heart that it wasn't himself.

"Your Majesty the Emperor's blessing is not for us to be bait, His Majesty the Emperor ......" The third and fourth captains kept praying in their hearts for Emperor Hirohito, who was far away in Tokyo, to appear and bless him.

'Oh, there's nothing we can do, but let the bunnies catch some game to improve their diet, and every time they eat the field rations, they are about to fade out. The captain of the Fifth Brigade, who didn't take this sign to heart at all, was thinking about how to improve the food.

"Haha, it's not our first and second brigades to go." After discovering that their signing was not short, the two captains of the first and second brigades were very happy.

"Haha, it's not us either." The third and fourth teams also said that they did not draw short lots.

"It's nothing wrong with me." The captain of the Fifth Brigade, who was purely playing soy sauce, was watching.

"This can't be, why are we still us!" A ghost cried and a wolf howled, frightened me and my crow on the branches. It turned out that the first and second brigades of the tragic urging continued to be their business of going to meat, buns, dogs, cannon fodder, and bait.

The 1st and 2nd Brigades had to join forces and cautiously move towards the place where the clone tanks and armored vehicles were inhabited. Originally, there were almost 2,200 people in total, and each team lost almost 50 people under the earlier shelling, and the team of more than 2,000 people kept complaining in their hearts that their captain's luck was too bad, how could they draw such a strange and incredible thing as a short lot.

"Boom" bad luck did not seem to have left, and the soldiers of the two brigades of more than 2,000 people, who were still entangled, rushed with their heads when a 280-mm shell was about to die. The short legs wish that their father and mother would have more legs of their own, and the long legs ran desperately and kept praying that the cannonballs would not fall on their heads. The two captains were lucky enough to hide in a naturally formed bomb crater, which was just big enough for two people.

"Damn, I hope the guys from the Heavy Artillery Wing will come soon."

"Yes, everything will be fine."

"Boom" dozens of 280-mm shells formed a roaring sound like a train across the sky. "Ah, everyone, run!" The frightened devils sped up their running.

"Wife, see you in the next life." Drowned by the shells were young men who had married wives.

"Mom, my mom and son ......" before he could shout that he missed his mother was some young man under the age of 20.

"Go home, I'm going home......" frightened people also became targets of shells.
