Chapter 30: The Great Zo Strikes
The news of the fiasco at the front kept reaching the ears of Kameda Daisa, a general who had galloped on the battlefield for half his life, and it was just a common thing for him to be defeated, so he took most of the troops of the third division and slowly advanced towards the battalion.

More than half of the troops of the A Division led by Kameda were not only well-equipped, but also outstanding in terms of military quality.
Energetic, mechanical artillery, and heavy armored troops attacked fiercely on the not wide road, and the entire Wuling Mountains had a trembling feeling.
Kameda did not have high requirements for his sergeants, and it was enough to show the momentum of the attack on Wuhan in one go, and it was enough to not have everyone put their lives on the line in this small poor ravine, which was simply an insult to the imperial soldiers.
When Matsushima Nakagawa came, he had the same idea, and the result was naturally obvious, maybe his ghost is still wandering in this mountain forest, complaining that he has not brought enough soldiers, so the awakening of 40,000 Chinese, how many soldiers do you have to bring to conquer?
More than 10,000 troops approached the main camp, and when they reached the intersection, Kameda's face changed in shock, and what was waiting for him was not a high-level courtesy greeting, but a corpse nailed to the trunk of a tree with a wooden stick, without a head, the corpse had begun to decompose, the stench was unpleasant, and sometimes worms that devoured carrion ran out.
Kameda determined that this was a Japanese soldier from the military uniform still attached to the corpse and the rank on his shoulder, and only the right arm of his left arm Matsushima Nakagawa Nakasa who was sent here before him, Kameda looked serious, covered his chest with his right hand and bowed deeply, this is the last goodbye to an imperial soldier who died in a foreign land, at least Matsushima Nakagawa was killed on the battlefield, and the spirit is worthy of admiration.
Kameda took two more steps forward, a cool breeze blew, and the head that was sandwiched between the branches by Zhang Ersil was almost eaten by insects, and only bones and hair were left, and the wind blew and dripped down, landing right in front of Kameda's feet, what he didn't expect was that there was actually a unit hidden in this mountain that made Matsushima die a tragic death.
This style is neither like the style of the National Army, nor is it like the style of the New Fourth Army of the Eighth Route Army, which makes Kameda puzzled, if he knew that Matsushima Nakagawa was just killed by a group of unruly bandits, would he go crazy?
Kameda raised his right hand with white gloves and ordered Matsushima Nakagawa's body to be buried, a bald Nakasa, stepped forward to receive the order, strode vigorously, took a military cap and bowed to the dead Matsushima, he was Kameda's left arm Abe Saburo, as frustrated as if he had sent away his own brother.
Kameda led his troops to the main camp, the four battalions were lifeless, and they couldn't hear the sound of the soldiers training, bayonets, and roars, and there were no soldiers standing guard at the door, could it be that the entire brigade that arrived in advance, and the strength of thousands of people were wiped out? Kameda was overshadowed.
Leather shoes carried mud and gravel into the camp, but saw a group of soldiers huddled around the campfire eating canned food, with dirty faces and lost expressions, how can they be called soldiers? It was simply a bunch of beggars, and such an insult was even more difficult for Kameda to accept when he was defeated and taken prisoner.
The anger in his heart was like hellfire about to erupt, but as the commander of this army, Kameda held back when he saw the soldiers he brought out such a pitiful appearance.
Walking to the middle, without saying anything, he pulled out his pistol and fired a shot into the sky, and the large army started and ran in, in unison, in a line, and the spears landed neatly.
When the remnants of the soldiers gathered around the campfire heard the gunshots, they immediately put down the food in their hands, stood up with their guns, and looked at their compatriots and commanders, whether they were sloppy in their clothes or in spirit, they looked out of place.
Kameda didn't blame them, and waved for them to continue eating, but the remnants didn't dare, and perhaps kept a little record of the army.
Saburo Abe, who followed him, walked up with two secretaries, "Your Excellency Osa, the artillery wing, the infantry wing, the engineer wing, and the transport wing are all here, a total of 10,079 people!" ”
Kameda nodded, waved his hand to retreat, turned around to clear his throat, and said, "Fellow soldiers, I'm sorry, I'm late, after the capture of Wuhan, you could have stepped on the ship back home, reunited with your relatives and friends, and had a full meal, because we thought that the Chinese had been frightened, the Chinese army was about to surrender, and the Chinese government was about to collapse, but they didn't, they didn't, a group of thin East Asian sick men actually fought, fighting with our compatriots, leaving us in a dilemma, As soldiers of the Empire, the pride of the Empire, can we bow down to them? ”
The remnants of the defeated soldiers below did not speak, but the corners of their eyes moistened, and they remembered their hometown, the cherry blossoms of their hometown, and the sake of their hometown.
Looking at the silent sergeants, Kameda continued, "If we stop the attack now, then we are a group of beggars who have been driven out by the Chinese, the generals of the defeated army, can you bear this kind of bullying?" Soldiers, tell me, why are you soldiers? It is because of the war, once the war starts, it will not end, only the war can end the war, raise your head, stand up and fight, completely trample the sick man of East Asia under your feet, we will win, the empire will remember you, your relatives will remember you, because you are heroes and heroes! ”
Kameda deserved to be a general who often led the troops, and although he said a lot of nonsense, the results were remarkable, and the soldiers wiped away their tears and looked at the red sun in the sky, as if they had seen the country and His Majesty the Emperor, whom they admired, and were ready to fight at any time.
Warriors who have forgotten life and death are often the most terrifying, like a group of dead soldiers.
Kameda raised his gun again and fired a shot into the sky, and the soldiers fired one after another, boosting themselves before the battle, and also scaring Liao Changsheng and Long Zaitian and his party.
"Order down, the whole army will adjust for two days, and after two days, set foot in Rooster Crown City!" After giving the order, Kameda turned around and walked into the command room of the big battalion, and saw that Li Zhi was still drinking tea with a tea bowl.
Li Zhi looked up and saw Kameda, he was not scared, and quickly ran over, patting his shoulder and back, and being a sycophant, waiting for Kameda to take a seat, Kameda glanced at Li Zhi seriously, Li Zhi habitually retreated, this is the knowledge of being a traitor in these years, just like the eunuchs who scouted the emperor in ancient times.
Kameda took a sip of tea, spit out the tea leaves left in his mouth, and said, "I heard that you and Matsushima attacked the village together?"
”
Li Zhi knew that Kameda would definitely ask about Matsushima, and before Kameda could speak clearly, Li Zhi knelt in front of Kameda like a decent person, and cried like a girl, "Your Excellency Osa, you don't know the situation at that time, we were surrounded by hundreds of bandits, and we couldn't escape at all, Matsushima-kun pushed me away in order to let me live and tell you to avenge him, he pushed me away, and I rolled down the mountain road down the mountain, in fact, I wanted to die with the Matsushima army, but Matsushima-kun's entrustment, and the hundreds of brothers who stayed in the camp, I dare not forget!" Li Zhihu said nonsense, but he understood that only because he saved Kameda's life in the Wuhan War, Kameda would not punish him heavily, plus the service and crying just now, Kameda would still think that Li Zhi was still the dog who finally got his own, and would leave him behind, after all, on the land of China, the Chinese are better than the Japanese.
Sure enough, Kameda didn't dig deeper, and now is not the time to hold him accountable, the most important thing is to find out the enemy's strength, weapons, and ask, "Is Kato still alive?" ”
"Alive" Li Zhi quickly replied, lying on the ground like a pug.
"Call him, I have something to ask!"
Li Zhi ran out and found Kato, who heard that Kameda had something to ask him, and he looked even more embarrassed than Li Zhi, walked into the command room, and said tremblingly, "Your Excellency Kameda Osa!" ”
"Sit!" Kameda's sitting, so that Kato was not scared, he was a deserter, it stands to reason that he should have committed suicide, but because he was afraid of the pain, he survived, this sitting meaning is very deep, Kato guessed randomly, tiptoed and gently sat down on the stool, Kameda tea bowl was put down and made a "bang" sound, Kato was frightened and stood up again, not daring to sit down again.
"Kato-kun, I asked you to come here to learn about the specific situation of the enemy, so tell me about it."
"Originally, there were only about 20 peasants who fought with us twice, and when Your Excellency Matsushima almost wiped out them, another group of bandits, more than 100 people, and the weapons were not badly prepared, I know so much, Your Excellency Dazuo!"
"Let's go down!" Kameda pinched his fingers and began to think.
